Chapter 11 Meeting Wang Yue () in the Imperial Garden
Liu Hong moved very quickly. He only asked Liu Zhang to enter the palace yesterday, and the token for entering the palace was delivered the next day! The person who sent the token was a member of the Yellow Sect, and Liu Yan was just polite and polite.
He said hello and went to deal with the guard issue for Liu Zhang. But Liu Zhang knew the power of eunuchs, especially in the late Han Dynasty, when the eunuchs were not ordinary. However, Liu Zhang had no money, so he could only lower his profile
The posture and talking with this Zhonghuangmen built a good relationship.
The duty of the Zhonghuangmen is to communicate with people inside and outside the palace. They go out of the palace to meet people on weekdays. Although others give them face, they look down on them secretly and even laugh at them for not being complete human beings. You must know that being castrated is also one of the ancient punishments.
In ancient times, being punished meant that one had committed a crime. Those who had committed a crime would be looked down upon by others and even felt inferior to others. Otherwise, there would not have been gon punishment in ancient times, that is, shaving one's hair. How painful could shaving one's head be?
Just insults! But it was these insults that the ancients could not bear.
As the saying goes: Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated. Most of the eunuchs in ancient times were forced to work as waiters in the palace because of life constraints, and were castrated as a last resort. After all, the emperor needed people to serve him, but how many criminals and their families were there?
Can they be castrated and sent to the palace to serve the emperor and his concubines? These eunuchs were castrated due to the pressure of life and serving the emperor, but they had to be humiliated. This was also one of the reasons for the psychological distortion of the eunuchs.
The Zhonghuang Sect has long been accustomed to the disdainful looks of officials. In addition to the fights between relatives and eunuchs, eunuchs are described as the source of disaster for the country and the people, and they are even less welcome. Except for the emperor, no one in this Zhonghuang Sect has ever seen anyone use kindness.
He spoke to him in a tone of voice. Even when he went to read out the emperor's decree, those officials were either very dismissive, or very flattering but showing contempt. Even if there are people who are neither humble nor arrogant, they will not treat normal people with the same attitude.
Treat him, but Liu Zhang gave him respect!
Don't look at this small amount of respect, but it made Zhonghuangmen feel very happy! Of course, Liu Zhang did not deliberately please this Zhonghuangmen, but the modern concept of equality made him very friendly no matter who he saw. You know, modern people
Disabled people are protected, and in Liu Zhang's eyes, these eunuchs are just disabled people. In addition, Liu Zhang studied law in his previous life, even criminals have a chance to defend themselves, let alone some eunuchs who are not guilty!
It was this unconscious respect that made this Zhonghuangmen very moved and willing to chat with Liu Zhang, a child. You know, children in the capital are also influenced by adults and are often rude to eunuchs. In addition, Liu Zhang is
A descendant of the clan has always been superior to others. His approachability made Zhonghuangmen even feel a little flattered. However, Liu Zhang's character was there. Although he would not look down on others, he would not be too flattering.
After chatting for a while, Zhonghuangmen felt that Liu Zhang was worth dating. If he hadn't returned to the palace to reply, he would have really wanted to talk to Liu Zhang more. Looking at the sky, Zhonghuangmen said to Liu Zhang with some reluctance: "Young Master,
The Sa family had a great time chatting with you, but I have to go back to the palace due to my responsibilities! If we are destined, we can talk again!"
"Sir, let's go slowly!" Liu Zhang also thought that this eunuch was not bad. He was not only a good talker, but also quite talented. This kind of person is the easiest to get ahead. With the thought that even if he can't make friends, he can't offend him, Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The future is bright.
, If we hit it off, I'll invite you to tea! However, after chatting for so long, I still don't know your name. Is it because you are afraid that I am too young to remember it? "
"Remember! Sajia Zhang Rang!" Zhonghuangmen patted Liu Zhang on the head and walked out.
"Zhang Rang?" Liu Zhang couldn't help but froze when he heard this familiar name. He thought to himself: "Isn't Zhang Rang the Ten Permanent Attendant?" Suddenly, Liu Zhang smiled! Now Liu Hong has only been on the throne for a few years, and he is in power.
He is still serving Cao Jie as the official servant of Zhongchang, and Zhang Rang is working under someone else. Being able to sneak into the Zhonghuang sect is already considered a capable person.
Early the next morning after getting the palace entry token, Liu Zhang began to enter the palace to accompany him. Because he was worried that he would be late, Liu Zhang deliberately got up early and entered the palace with Liu Yan. Before he wanted to come, Liu Hong came again
Hard-working people don’t get up to study at three or four in the morning! However, after Liu Zhang arrived at the palace, he realized that he had gone early, because the emperor also had to attend the morning court, and only after the morning court was over could he have time to study! Of course, if
The meeting was held too late, so the study time was pushed to the afternoon! As for the memorial, Liu Hong could only read it and was not qualified to review it.
He had come here and could not go back. Liu Zhang wandered around the palace boredly. He was only five years old anyway, so it would not matter even if he broke in. He inserted the token in his waist, and the guards and eunuchs saw the token given by the emperor.
Too lazy to care about him. Only when he asked, someone answered his question. Finally, Liu Zhang decided to visit the Imperial Garden while it was still early. If the place was large, he would practice martial arts. Of course, what he practiced was not killing.
Except for some professional institutions, such as special forces and soldiers, martial arts in later generations have been reduced to showmanship and health-preserving techniques. What Liu Zhang wanted to practice was just Tai Chi!
To be honest, Liu Hong's imperial garden is really not that good. It is just about the same as the parks of later generations. If it were some large parks or theme parks, it would be far behind! However, it was an open space at least, and Liu Zhang raised his hand and stood there.
A round pile stood up in the imperial garden. After standing for almost half an hour, Liu Zhang felt that he couldn't stand it any more, so he started to practice Tai Chi one by one. At first, Liu Zhang was a little unfamiliar. After all, he hadn't done it for four or five years.
In addition, this body had not been practiced before, and after only doing more than twenty postures, it was a bit weak. However, Liu Zhang did not give up, and he did not stop until he completed the forty postures he had learned.
"Okay!" A shout came from behind Liu Zhang. He almost jumped up in fright. When he looked back, it turned out to be Liu Hong!
"Brother Emperor, when did you come?" Liu Zhang said a little coyly: "What's so commendable about this fancy fist and embroidered leg!"
Liu Hong did not respond to Liu Zhang. Instead, he asked a guard holding a sword beside him: "Wang Qing, what do you think of the emperor's brother's boxing skills?"
"Not bad!" The guard holding the sword said with gleaming eyes: "This boxing technique doesn't look like much, but it contains a lot of refreshing things. Although it looks a little soft, it hides murderous intent. It's just a pity..."
"What's a pity?" Liu Hong said with a smile, "Wang Qing, it's okay to just say it!"
The guard smiled and said: "It's a pity that the young master is young and doesn't seem to have learned all this boxing technique! Otherwise, just by relying on this boxing technique, the young master can have extraordinary achievements in martial arts!"
"Know the goods!" When Liu Zhang heard what the guard said, he immediately gave an evaluation in his heart. This Tai Chi has been tempered for hundreds of years. It entered Dacheng during the Song and Ming Dynasties and was refined to thirteen postures by Zhang Sanfeng. These thirteen postures
Tai Chi can not only strengthen the body, but also kill people and steal goods. However, as the later generations go by, the martial arts declines more and more. In modern times, although Tai Chi has become popular, not many people really understand it. This is also a characteristic of Tai Chi: it is easy to learn
It’s hard to master! As for Liu Zhang’s practice of Tai Chi, it can only be regarded as superficial! However, Liu Zhang still remembers the Tai Chi rules, which have been turned into songs, and it is difficult to forget them!
"Wang Qing's achievements in martial arts are beyond doubt!" Liu Hongxiao asked, "In Wang Qing's opinion, does the emperor's younger brother have any talent for martial arts?"
The guard smiled and said: "The young master's talent is naturally good, but..."
"It's nothing!" Liu Hong said with a smile: "The emperor's younger brother once said that he would be the Huo Qubing of this dynasty! Since he has the talent for martial arts, Wang Qing will give him some guidance!"
"What I am learning is not the art of killing enemies on the battlefield!" the guard said, "It would be unsightly if the young master learned my martial arts!"
Liu Hong said helplessly: "I'm not asking you to teach the emperor's younger brother martial arts. You know, the emperor's younger brother is only five years old this year. You should lay a foundation for him. As for the art of killing enemies in battle, someone will teach him in the future! Besides,
What I want is a general, not a reckless man. Learning martial arts is just for the emperor to protect himself in battle!"
"Your Majesty! I have an unkind request!" Liu Zhang saw that the emperor wanted to discuss with this guard, knowing that he must be extraordinary, so Liu Zhang wanted to poach the emperor!
"The emperor's younger brother is my brother, just say what you say!" Liu Hong pointed at the guard named Wang and said with a smile, "Could it be that the emperor's younger brother has taken a liking to this person?"
"It seems that I have taken a liking to him! But how dare I, my brother, poach the emperor's brother?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "My brother and his family came to Luoyang for the first time, and my father wanted to find some bodyguards for my brother, but he has not found any yet.
My brother wants to..."
"It turns out that I want some guards!" Liu Hong thought for a while and said, "Wang Qing, I heard that you have an apprentice named Shi A who has learned all about your true heritage. Why not let him be the guard of the emperor's younger brother and teach the emperor at the same time?"
How is my martial arts skills?"
"Shi A is his apprentice?! Then he is the Imperial Master Wang Yue!" Liu Zhang was shocked in his heart. He did not expect that this thirty-year-old guard would have such a powerful background.
Wang Yue listened to Liu Hong's suggestion, thought about it and said, "Shi'a has indeed mastered my true inheritance, but it still needs to be tempered. Since His Majesty has spoken, let him protect the young master and teach him at the same time."
Basic skills.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Master Wang!" After hearing what Wang Yue said, Liu Zhang quickly saluted. You must know that Shi A is also a famous swordsman in history. With his protection, at least before Huang Zhong arrived, Liu Zhang's life was safe!
However, Liu Zhang will soon go crazy!
After discussing the guard matter, Liu Hong told Liu Zhang that Cai Yong had something to do today and would not come to lecture! So Liu Zhang, who had nothing to do, left the palace. When leaving, Wang Yue told him that Shi A was already waiting for him at the gate of the palace! He was very happy.
Liu Zhang came to the palace gate and looked around, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see anyone who looked like a swordsman. Suddenly, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old patted him on the shoulder and said, "I dare to ask, who is Mr. Liu Zhang?"
