Even Wang Yue didn't bother to adapt to the unspoken rules of the officialdom. Therefore, when he was young, Wang Yue was not allowed to be appointed by the emperor. After the war, even though Wang Yue moved around in the northern part of the Central Plains, including Jiangdong and Liu Biao's territory in Jingzhou, there was still no one.
Get an official position.
Wang Yue became disheartened and opened a martial arts gym in Luoyang to make a living. He taught many outstanding disciples. Because these disciples were more tactful, they all became officials and generals regardless of whether they came from aristocratic families or poor families. The outstanding disciple Shi A
Now he is still working as a guard beside Cao Pi, enjoying great glory.
Only Wang Yue guarded his own martial arts school. As he got older, he lost his will more and more. Although he heard that Liu Zhang massacred the family, Wang Yue encountered too many obstacles in the officialdom. On the surface, those people said that as long as he had talent,
, regardless of the poor family, you can use it.
But when they are truly dissatisfied with their system, these people will fall out.
Wang Yue no longer traveled around until this time Cao Cao's army left the pass to collect grain from the impoverished Central Plains.
Those aristocratic families passed all the taxes on to ordinary people and other people without aristocratic backgrounds. Naturally, Wang Yue's martial arts school was not immune to the disaster and was heavily taxed.
Because Wang Yue was dissatisfied, he injured a descendant of the family, and the family was even more dissatisfied with Wang Yue. Firstly, Wang Yue could not pay taxes. Secondly, he also offended the powerful people in Luoyang. He could not survive, so he sold the martial arts gym in desperation.
He dismissed his disciples, paid taxes and left Luoyang where he had lived for decades.
After arriving in Chang'an, the place was a scorched earth. Wang Yue really didn't lie to Liu Zhang. The food hoarded in the house was stolen from the family. Wang Yue wanted to steal something, whether it was the servants of the family or the Sichuan soldiers guarding the family's property.
Wang Yue's eyes were no different than air.
After solving the livelihood problem, Wang Yue had to contact the Sichuan Army that ruled this area. Wang Yue visited several Sichuan Army officials and even met the new Sili Colonel Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan also came from a poor family. Even after meeting Wang Yue
After realizing his talent, he directly accepted the post of General Wang Yue.
It was only because there had been too many things in Guanzhong recently that Liu Xun took over the government affairs. Jiang Wan told Wang Yue that it might take a month for the approval book to be issued. He asked Wang Yue to wait.
After contacting Jiang Wan, Wang Yue already knew that the previous comments made by Luoyang dignitaries about the Sichuan Army were false. No matter what other aspects of the Sichuan Army were like, the children from poor families here were never discriminated against.
It was not until the Sichuan army arrested the nobles and gathered the refugees, and issued the land order, price limit order, and the four imperial examination orders, that Wang Yue finally became convinced that this army was worthy of his service.
Even though Wang Yue was already seventy years old at this time, Wang Yue felt that from this time on, he could still succeed in his later years like Jiang Ziya.
However, fate happened to play Wang Yue another way.
Wang Yue was puzzled when he heard that Liu Zhang had handed over power to his son Liu Xun. When he saw Hua Tuo leaving the Sichuan Army camp, Wang Yue went up to ask. Hua Tuo knew Wang Yue and knew Wang Yue's personality, so he
Revealed a bit.
Wang Yue felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. The Ming Lord he had finally met was about to die. Wang Yue observed Liu Xun. Judging from yesterday, Wang Yue was disappointed.
Wang Yue said that Liu Xun was mediocre, not in other aspects, but that Liu Xun was not as bold as Liu Zhang in dealing with the family. This alone made Wang Yue very unfavorable.
The world is still in chaos, even though the Sichuan Army has reached its peak, but the Shi clan still controls absolute power. Relaxing the policy towards the Shi clan at this time will definitely break the river. It will become more and more relaxed, and eventually lead to the backlash of the Shi clan.
Wang Yue was already frightened by the officialdom controlled by the noble families and did not want to repeat the old path. Wang Yue no longer had any interest in the approval booklet Jiang Wan mentioned.
However, Liu Zhang unexpectedly appeared at his door, allowing him to observe Liu Zhang up close. Wang Yue had to admit that Liu Zhang's impression on him was better than he imagined.
He eats folk food without any fuss, lives in a dilapidated house without any complaints, and has no airs about himself as an old man. However, his majesty radiates from the inside out, just like how he treats subordinates like Hao Mi without any pretense or losing the respect of his master.
wind.
Wang Yue also looked at Fu Shou's drawings and had already painted three or four paintings, all of which were tragic war scenes, with the poor and miserable people as the main theme.
Wang Yue didn't know that it was Fu Shou, but no matter who painted these war pictures at Liu Zhang's request, it already showed that Liu Zhang truly loved the people and was not a watchdog for the privileges and interests of the family.
Such a lord is the lord that he has been pursuing all his life.
However, after having close contact with Liu Zhang, Wang Yue, who had some knowledge of medical skills, already knew that what Hua Tuo said was true.
I hope to serve my lord, the person on whom I can place my life's ideals, the only person who can make me have no regrets in this life, is right in front of me, but I can't surrender.
Wang Yue was really sad. He didn't sleep all night last night. When he woke up this morning and called Liu Zhang to say those words, Wang Yue couldn't restrain himself from saying it. If it were normal times, Wang Yue would definitely not say such childish words.
There are countless folk dog-skin plasters, but there are very few that are truly effective. To deal with Liu Zhang's disease... there is no such thing.
Maybe I am not giving hope to Liu Zhang, but I am giving myself hope and paralyzing myself.
Wang Yue felt really tired at this time. When his ideals that had been extinguished for decades were rekindled and extinguished again, Wang Yue felt as if he was dead.
A month later, Jiang Wan's appointment book appeared. Wang Yue didn't want to wait any longer. In order to be afraid that Jiang Wan would find him, Wang Yue decided to go out for a walk and return to Chang'an after two or three months. Although he didn't like the Sichuan army under Liu Xun's rule, he
Wang Yue felt that the places under the rule of the Sichuan Army were definitely better than other places.
I will live my whole life in Chang'an.
………………
When Liu Zhang returned to the military camp, Zhang Ren had gathered 5,000 elite cavalry. This time Liu Zhang left the border not to fight. There was Huang Yueying in front of him, so he probably had no battle of his own to fight. Liu Zhang just went to see the land of the Central Plains.
Liu Zhang was about to go out with his army, and Fu Shou followed him on horseback.
When Fu Shou saw Liu Zhang, he felt a little shy, but maybe he thought of something and became determined again.
"The Marquis of Shu, the palace hopes to accompany the army, and the palace accepts the request of the Marquis of Shu to draw the Broken Mountains and Rivers. Since it is the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, it is of course not limited to Chang'an in Guanzhong. The Sichuan army and Cao's army fought in the Central Plains, and the palace invites the palace to enter the Central Plains."
What Fu Shou was thinking was that just because no one knew about what happened last night, he couldn't just pretend that it didn't happen. He didn't regret what he did last night, but since it happened, he should bear the consequences himself.
But Fu Shou didn't want Liu Zhang to see what he was thinking. Even if Liu Zhang thought that he was a shameless woman who threw herself into his arms, it didn't matter. Last night, he was willing to bear the consequences of betrayal.
During this expedition to the Central Plains, I could spend some time with Liu Zhang for the last time, or at least accompany him for the last part of the journey.
Moreover, it was Liu Zhang who accompanied him through the last section.
If he could see Liu Xie, he would explain the matter clearly. Then whether Liu Xie wanted to kill him, or depose his queen, and hand himself over to those sanctimonious ministers to scold him, Fu Shou was prepared.
Anyway, after Liu Zhang goes, he will follow him, and everything will be over.
Liu Zhang looked at Fu Shou and thought of last night. Liu Zhang didn't think Fu Shou was shameless. He was the shameless one, and Liu Zhang knew why Fu Shou obeyed him, because Fu Shou felt sorry for him.
Yes, it's just heartache. A woman's heartache for a man. From the very beginning, Fu Shou knew about her illness. She seemed to be more concerned about Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing's treatment of her than herself. Whenever she mentioned something sad or was sick,
Or something else, Fu Shou frowned.
Liu Zhang was not a fool and could guess some of Fu Shou's thoughts.
If a girl is weak, men will be protective, but when a considerate woman sees a man being tortured, their heart will aches and they will want to comfort the man.
Liu Zhang thought to himself that Fu Shou last night must have been this kind of emotion.
After a night of lingering, what Liu Zhang felt was not madness, but Fu Shou's thoughtfulness and suppleness. She always took care of her own feelings, not hers, as if as long as she felt comfortable, she would feel comfortable as well.
Such a woman may not have any earth-shattering love with a man, but she is the most suitable woman for a man to marry.
If it weren't for his illness, Liu Zhang would be anxious now about how to take responsibility for Fu Shou and let Fu Shou change from the status of queen to his wife.
But now I am no longer qualified to consider this issue.
After last night, Liu Zhang felt that enough was enough, and buried his gratitude deep in his heart. He could only pretend to be nonchalant and face Fu Shou, so as not to let her feel that he was nostalgic for her, or to bother her by saying some responsible words.
Last night passed as it passed, just pretend that nothing happened. After you leave this world, no one knows about last night, it will be forever submerged, and Fu Shou returns to his own life.
Liu Zhang tried his best to keep his expression as natural as possible and said with a smile: "Empress, please forgive Liu Zhang for being disrespectful. The Queen's riding skills don't seem to be very good. Do you really want to join the army?"
In fact, Liu Zhang thought that Fu Shou was accompanying the army, just like modern battlefield reporters, watching the battlefield and drawing pictures at the same time. Anyway, there should be no danger for him to go this time, so it would be okay to take Fu Shou with him.
However, Liu Zhang suddenly felt that something was wrong. Even if Fu Shou said that the broken mountains and rivers should not only be painted in Guanzhong, but Chang'an was not finished yet, why was he in such a hurry to go to the Central Plains?
"Don't worry, I can do it." Fu Shou said confidently.
Liu Zhang frowned slightly. Fu Shou would never have such a confident expression. Upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit fake, as if he was deliberately pretending to have this expression.
Liu Zhang thought that Fu Shou might be covering up the fact that he was not good at riding, so he pretended like this.
