"Plum blossoms bid farewell to Bashui, palace candles and Lishan Mountains wake up. Provincial elections catch up, and native guests still destroy feathers." [Answer to Zhang Che]
"You are a member of Fufeng, of course you are not afraid." Liu Guang often talked about his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty and Queen Hui of Jibei, but in fact he knew in his heart that this title could only be a window-dressing to bluff those poor families.
Disciples. For people like Su Ze who came from a high family, the estranged clan members of the Han Dynasty were nothing at all.
He originally followed Su Ze deliberately and wanted to get closer to him, but Su Ze always treated him indifferently and became friends with Geng Ji, an economics student who also came from a wealthy family in Fufeng. Liu Guang was cowardly at heart and eager to promote himself: "
I have met the Emperor in the Proclamation Chamber, and I am also one of the first clan members appointed by the Emperor to study at the Imperial College, so I am not afraid of any difficulties."
In the third year of Chuping, when the emperor summoned the vassals to meet Zhengdan, Liu Guang followed the Prince of Jibei Liu Zheng to receive a banquet from the Xuanshi. He also told the emperor about the king of Jibei looking for Cao Cao and Tian Fen borrowing food for the winter.
Two sentences. This story is the highlight of his life, he will never forget it and he is proud of it.
"In this case, let alone this." Su Ze was thinking about something just now and did not notice Liu Guang's expression. At this time, he said seriously: "We have neither official positions nor titles, even if there is something wrong with the internship.
, so what?"
Seeing that he was indifferent, Liu Guang suddenly thought that the other party had also met the emperor in disguise, and was even praised by the emperor himself. Liu Guang's face turned red, and he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he turned around and left.
Su Ze watched the other party leave with some confusion. At this time, he had walked to the side of the road. Ma Chao walked over under the tree and complained to him: "I didn't expect you to be here longer than Ming Jingke."
"Why are you here?" After working together to eliminate locusts, Su Ze no longer consciously distanced himself from the other party, and gradually put aside his prejudices and regarded him as a friend: "You ran away from the last study test?"
"There's nothing to try. Students from the Ming Jing Department are just arranged to go to Taichang, Zongzheng and other prefectures, or to places such as the Meng Xue and the Education Department. My future is determined. Aweng will smooth things over and transfer me to the Military Night School.
Serve as a civilizer, and then slowly transfer to the military." Ma Chao said with an indifferent look, but his eyes were full of yearning: "I can finally leave this place. Speaking of which, I want to take the path of military merit, first be a dubo, and then
He is a military commander, a captain, or a school captain. As long as there is a war, I will be promoted faster than anyone else."
After saying that, he looked at Su Ze again and said with regret: "Pound who used to be by my side is now a captain of the Northern Army. I don't know what great achievements he will make in Guandong now. If I hadn't wasted this time in Taixue
After four years, am I still worse than him now?"
Su Ze couldn't help but look at Ma Chao. In fact, he really wanted to say that the other party's brother Ma Dai has been just an ordinary guard since he entered the palace. It can be seen that if a person wants to get ahead, he must not only be capable, but also whether the emperor is willing.
Willing to use.
The Ma family of Fufeng has almost collapsed since Ma Rixi was deposed. General Pingdi Ma Teng has no support and is walking on thin ice in the court, keeping a low profile and being invisible. Under this situation, Ma Teng wanted to arrange for Ma Chao to give up Ming Jing and become an official.
Wanting to be promoted through military service may be a last resort choice.
But when Su Ze saw Ma Chao's yearning look, he suddenly couldn't bear to tell him this reality. He just smiled softly and said, "You finally got your wish and can do what you want to do."
"What about you? What do you want to do?" Ma Chao proudly patted the sword on his waist and asked.
Su Ze blurted out without thinking: "Of course it's about cultivating one's character and harmonizing one's family..."
"Govern the country and bring peace to the world." Ma Chao immediately said, "I knew you would say this. I have memorized the Book of Rites. Are you lying? You didn't say what you wanted to do."
Su Ze wanted to make fun of him, saying, "Ye Juzi, who even said he didn't know how to read, could even memorize the Book of Rites?" But when he heard the next words, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said slowly: "People
Homelessness, hunger, cold, and embarrassment are what I have seen since I was a child. This is true for just a corner of Fufeng, not to mention the world. Now that I am looking forward to ZTE, assisting Ming Jun in governing the country and bringing peace to the world is indeed what I want to do in the future."
Ma Chao wanted to say more, but when he thought about the displacement of the people in Guanzhong that he had seen when he was a child, it was probably due to the war caused by his father. Thinking of this, Ma Chao felt a little guilty and did not dare to mention it: "It doesn't matter, as long as it is what you want to do,
Just do it. From now on, you will record the affairs of the minister, I will be General Fubo, and you and I will bring peace to the world."
Su Ze was amused by his arrogance, but he did not blame Ma Chao for this incident. He asked: "Is this the reason why you are looking for me today?"
"Yes." Ma Chao replied solemnly: "Actually, I want to say goodbye to you. Once the affairs of the Imperial Academy are over in a few days, I will go to Huaili Army to listen."
"The education department is only available in the Northern and Southern armies, so how can it be implemented in the Pingdi Army..." Su Ze didn't finish his words, but suddenly thought that the Northern and Southern armies should be transferred far away, and it was inconvenient for Ma Chao and others to rush there, so he specially implemented it in the Huangfu Song and Ma Teng armies.
, maybe there is also a meaning here to promote the education science to the whole army...
Su Ze had several thoughts running through his mind, but in the end he couldn't help but remind him: "Why does the emperor want to keep you in the Imperial Academy? You must think clearly about it. That is..."
"It's not important anymore." Ma Chao rarely interrupted Su Ze. He smiled brightly, and the setting sun reflected his handsome face into a golden color: "I don't want to think about what I can't understand. I'm leaving already.
No matter what the emperor does, he will never let me stay in Taixue to teach, right?"
Su Ze smiled helplessly and said nothing more. He knew that the other party must understand something, so there was no need for him to take the risk to reveal the secret.
At this time, the two of them had arrived in front of the Taixue Gate. Under the double towers standing at the door, a carriage was parked on the roadside. There were bell-shaped copper bells hanging from the four corners of the carriage's cover, and the horses pulling the cart were all yellow.
The mouth with gaping teeth was darkened, as if it had drunk a manger's ink. The horse was extremely ugly and listless. Apart from the teeth, it looked like an old horse that had been raised for many years.
Ma Chao recognized the horse at a glance. The first time he and Su Ze met, they had a conflict over the horse at the Wei Bridge. At that time, Pang De fell in love with the horse and said it was a rare good horse.
That's why Ma Chao went back to ask for it.
Speaking of which, without this horse, Ma Chao would not have had the chance to meet Su Ze.
"Why are you here?" Su Ze looked at Cang Tou who was waiting by the car.
The Cangtou bowed and said, "Feng Yiji is going to be a guest at home today."
Only then did Su Ze remember. He looked at Ma Chao apologetically and said, "I forgot that we have guests today. I wanted to take you to the school market to have a banquet as a farewell. It seems that we can't do it."
Ma Chao waved his hand magnanimously and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Please come back next time." After saying that, he suddenly slapped the ugly horse's neck with his palm and touched it along the horse's mane: "If you don't think so,
