Kong Rong and Mi Heng walked side by side, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Although Kong Rong was a scholar, he was not stupid. From the conflict between Mi Heng and the doctor just now, he probably knew that Mi Heng was bragging.
The emperor didn't appreciate Mi Heng that much, and he didn't give Mi Heng the preferential treatment of seeing him directly, at least not as Mi Heng said.
Mi Heng himself knew this, so he was a little embarrassed to see others. But when he thought about meeting the emperor later, the emperor thought he had figured it out and would inevitably ask him about his thoughts, but in fact he had not figured it out at all, so what should he do?
answer?
I feel a little impulsive.
The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts while walking. After walking for a long time, they still didn't see the emperor. They couldn't help but wonder if they were going in the wrong direction. They asked the Lang Guan on duty nearby, and they confirmed that they were not going wrong, but that they were just in the wrong direction.
The destination was still five or six miles away before I realized they were careless.
Shanglin Garden was larger than they thought, and the officials were all riding horses to go back and forth. Their cars could not come in, and they could not ride horses, so they could only walk. They didn't know how long they would go there.
For them, it is normal to take a car when going out, and walking several miles or even more than ten miles is simply unimaginable.
"How about... rest for a while?" Mi Heng raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
After walking for four or five miles, his legs were already sore and he was sweating all over.
"Uh... okay." Kong Rong also took a breath and sat down on a big rock on the side of the road.
"Shanglin Garden is really big." Mi Heng asked as he had nothing to say.
Kong Rong turned around and looked around, and suddenly said: "Zhengping, the emperor said that he wanted to cultivate the fields. Do you think this Shanglin Garden should also be cultivated? According to the weekly system, this Shanglin Garden is obviously too big. If it can be given to the people for farming, it can
How many people can you feed?”
Mi Heng nodded and said: "That makes sense, I can mention it later in the civil service examination."
Kong Rong turned to look at Mi Heng, his eyes widened. "Why didn't you mention it?"
"This is Wen Ju's discovery. I dare not rob others of their beauty?"
Kong Rong snorted disdainfully. "I'll mention it if I ask. Anyway, I'm nearly fifty years old, so even if I die, I won't die young. But you, you should take good care of yourself, so as not to miss the upcoming prosperous age."
"Do you also think that a prosperous age is coming?"
Kong Rong turned his head and looked at the sparkling lake, not wanting to talk to Mi Heng anymore.
After returning from the palace that night, Mi Heng was not normal.
The two rested for a while, got up again, and walked towards Xiliu Camp where the Emperor was. Thinking of Zhou Yafu's deeds back then, the two couldn't help but sigh again, and their moods were quite complicated.
After arriving in Chang'an, they also heard some discussions about Xiliuying and Zhou Yafu. They had different opinions and sometimes even fierce conflicts occurred.
For most people, their feelings were very complicated. They felt sorry for Zhou Yafu and felt that the emperor's authority was too heavy and it was inappropriate to kill ministers wantonly. They also felt that a military minister like Zhou Yafu was too domineering and deserved his death.
Whether you should kill or not depends on different perspectives and different results.
After an arduous journey, they finally arrived at the foot of the hillside where the emperor was.
Looking at the slow soil and Kong Rong's trembling legs, Mi Heng was in trouble. They were exhausted. If they climbed up again, they would be very embarrassed and laughed at. But if you don't climb, you can't stand below.
It would be too disrespectful to shout at the emperor.
"Let's go." Kong Rong said to Mi Heng.
"Let's go." Mi Heng agreed, but didn't move.
He really couldn't walk. The last time he rode a horse, his thigh was injured and he was still not able to move smoothly. Today, he walked such a long distance and he had reached his limit.
The two looked at each other, talking about walking away without moving their feet, which was extremely embarrassing.
Gu Guo
Liu Xie saw Kong Rong and Mi Heng on the hillside. Seeing that they were motionless, he thought that he had violated the habit of celebrities and wanted to invite someone, so he motioned to Cao Ang to invite them.
Cao Ang went downhill.
Liu Xie said to Cao Cao: "Marquis Cao has a good son."
Cao Cao stroked his short beard happily. "Your Majesty has trained me well."
"Young people have no prejudices and learn things quickly." Liu Xie glanced at Kong Rong and Mi Heng down the slope. "I hope Mi Heng is the same. Kong Rong, I don't have any hope."
Cao Cao was a little surprised. He didn't expect the emperor to have such high hopes for Ni Heng. He thought for a while and said: "Ni Heng is indeed very smart, ten times better than a dog. Therefore, he has always been conceited, and only your majesty can train him."
Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Kong Rong again. After a moment, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, these two people are probably tired and afraid of being disrespectful to you, so they don't dare to go up the slope."
Liu Xie was surprised. He took another look and realized that it was Cao Cao who had a keen eye. These two people had walked here. The journey was about ten miles. It was a heavy burden for such an industrious scholar.
"Can't you Heng ride a horse? Why don't you come on a horse?"
"They don't wear trousers, so they can't ride a horse." Cao Cao suppressed a smile. "Confucian scholars are still calm. They generally don't ride horses, but ride in cars. It's inconvenient to wear trousers and ride in a car, and the pain below the waist and abdomen is uncomfortable."
Liu Xie didn't say anything. To be honest, he had no idea about these. He had never left the horseback since he came to this time and space. He had long regarded the crotchless trousers as pants themselves, and never thought that adults would wear them.
Crotchless pants.
After a while, Cao Ang came back and reported the situation.
As Cao Cao analyzed, these two people are very tired now and are shaking when walking.
"Then let them rest for a while." Liu Xie waved his hand and ordered people to set up a banquet at the foot of the slope. He also arranged some food and drinks for Kong Rong and Mi Heng to eat and replenish their physical strength.
Kong Rong was very grateful, bowed at the foot of the slope, sat on the table, and let out a sigh of relief.
Mi Heng felt a little inexplicably disappointed. He was supposed to go up the slope and sit down and talk with the emperor in front of everyone, but now because of lack of physical strength, he could only sit down the slope and look up at the people talking and laughing on the slope.
"Is that Cao Cao who massacred the city?" Mi Heng couldn't help but ask after listening for a moment.
Cao Cao's voice was the loudest, and it sounded as if he was speaking to them on purpose.
"It should be." Kong Rong also heard it, and there was an evil fire surging in his heart.
"Is it possible that we have worked so hard just to sit here and listen to that traitor's eloquent talk?" Mi Heng felt angry and stood up. "Wen Ju, sit down for a moment and allow me... hiss..."
Mi Heng was so angry that he moved too much and pulled his thigh. He suddenly felt that his lower body was numb.
"Zhengping..."
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way." Mi Heng gritted his teeth. "If you're not afraid of death, let's talk about these minor injuries. Hiss..." He said it boldly, but his body was very honest. He sucked in air-conditioning from his mouth, and it took him a long time to finally manage.
Stand up straight.
He looked up and froze immediately.
The people on the slope probably heard what he said and looked over. Even from dozens of steps away, he could feel the disdain in those eyes.
Whether it was due to the terrain or psychological reasons, Mi Heng felt condescending and arrogant.
He felt that he had been humiliated, anger arose in his heart, and hatred grew in his courage. He took long steps and walked uphill boldly.
He took a step forward and felt a stinging pain that made him break into a cold sweat.
He gritted his teeth to prevent himself from screaming and continued to move forward.
