In the city of Chengdu, there was a peaceful scene with singing and dancing, and the palace was even more lively.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Xian was already overwhelmed with alcohol, so he had to hold on and try his best to stay awake, secretly pinching his thigh hard.
Liu Chan seemed to be a little drunk, so he looked at Li Xian and said, "Han Xing, I just left the city to pick you up. Do you know what the officials said?"
After Li Xian heard this, he sobered up even more, and big beads of sweat fell from his forehead in an instant. To be honest, if it comes to marching and fighting, he has gained some experience over the years, but once these political issues are involved, it is really He couldn't be more upset, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "I am stupid and really don't know."
Liu Chan smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, you and I, the emperor and our ministers, are honest with each other. How can outsiders make irresponsible remarks? In the past, Huo Qubing was chasing death and seeking fame in the north and stirred up the world. Now Han Xing kills Zhang He and the world is shocked. I love you so much. How am I different from my Wei Huo?"
Li Xian was a little stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but glance at Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi and others who were stunned in the audience. He quickly avoided the table and replied: "Your Majesty loves you so much, I am so frightened. The reason why I can defeat Zhang He is because of your Majesty's divine power. The Prime Minister makes decisions when the opportunity arises and never dares to covet the merits of Heaven."
Liu Chan laughed when he heard this: "Is Han Xing also bragging?"
Li Xian was silent for a moment, feeling dizzy and dizzy. He had already woken up from the wine and was sweating continuously. He felt a chill on his back.
"That's all, the Han Dynasty is prosperous. Now that Xiangfu has regained Liangzhou, our Han Dynasty has regained the land of two states. From your perspective, can I really revive the Han Dynasty? In your eyes, what kind of emperor am I?" Liu Chan looked slightly drunk, and while asking Li Xian, he glanced at the officials in the hall.
Li Xian seemed a little speechless for a moment, but he swallowed, gathered his thoughts, and replied: "Your Majesty, now Cao Sun looks around, the two thieves have not been eliminated. With your Majesty's power, as long as you can kiss the virtuous ministers and the distant villains, , can naturally revive the great Han Dynasty. As for your Majesty’s second question, I really don’t dare to answer it rashly.”
Liu Chan seemed a little stubborn and said, "It doesn't matter, I want you to say it."
Li Xian was helpless and had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Your Majesty is a benevolent king who is rarely seen in the ages."
"Benevolent Lord?" Liu Chan's eyes seemed to light up when he heard this, "I am a benevolent monarch, but what about Cao Rui and Sun Quan?"
"Your Majesty, Cao Rui and Sun Quan are both heroes and can be called Mingjun."
Liu Chan was a little surprised and asked: "Is there any difference between Renjun and Mingjun?"
Li Xian cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, of course there is. Your Majesty is generous and loves people. Within a few years, there has been no big jail or implication. The people love him. It can be called benevolence. He has the style of Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty. The sage said, such as If there is a king, he must be benevolent from generation to generation. Your Majesty will inherit the great aspirations of the late emperor and put people first in the country and the country. Naturally, it can be called benevolence."
"What about Mingjun?" Liu Chan continued to ask.
"A wise king is responsible for guarding the land, and he also listens and understands. He can be enlightened." Li Xian replied.
Liu Chan thought for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, what a benevolent and wise king. I'm a little tired. Let's stop here today. Huang Hao, you can send everyone out of the palace."
"Yes!" After Huang Hao received the order, he immediately arranged the vehicle frame and returned it to his respective residences.
That night, Li Xian also returned to his home where he had been away for a long time. At night, he gave a rough description of the scene of his battle. How did he know that the lies about his green face, fangs, three heads and six arms were spread among the scholars in Yizhou, and he even said that he had eaten the enemy alive. Human flesh scared some unsuspecting Yizhou people to the point where they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, but the only happy thing was that they could have a solid sleep.
At noon on the second day, Li Xian just opened his hazy sleepy eyes. He figured that he would have to go to the master's house to worship today, so he hurriedly packed up his belongings and headed to Zhao Yun's house.
At Zhao Yun's house.
"Brother, you are finally here. Brother Tong and I are looking forward to your triumphant return to the court every day." Zhao Guangyan said.
"Brother Guang, Brother Tong, it's senior brother who's late." Li Xian shook his head sadly, hugged the two young generals, and the three of them covered their faces and cried.
"Where is the master buried now?" Li Xian asked, holding back his tears.
"My father is now buried in the east of the city, facing north. He said that the north is the place where he met the late emperor, so he must be facing there. He was afraid that he would not find the late emperor down there. Before he died, your majesty asked him what he wanted, but my father said nothing. , I just pointed to Shimen Mountain outside Yongan and kept asking where my eldest brother was. Later I found out that Shimen Mountain is the place where my father and my eldest brother met."
A famous general of a generation suddenly passed away. Unexpectedly, before his death, he was thinking about his incompetent disciple. Li Xian was heartbroken for a moment.
"My two young generals, my condolences, my condolences." I couldn't help but look up to the sky and cry again.
"By the way, brother, my father has something for you." Zhao Tongyun seemed to remember something for a moment, and quickly took out a long box from the back hall and handed it to Li Xian.
After Li Xian opened it, he saw a sword with cold light shining through it. Even from a distance, he could feel a burst of heroic spirit. The luster of such a thing made of steel was not inferior to that of improved fine steel. The sword On the sheath are two characters painted with iron and silver hooks - "青魭"
"What does this mean? This is General Zhao's sword. Why don't the two young generals use it for themselves?"
Zhao Guang waved his hand and said: "A sword is worthy of a hero. My eldest brother killed Zhang He. Only such heroes are worthy of such a sword. We have no use for it."
Zhao Tong also nodded and said, "It's just as the elder brother said."
However, Li Xian looked at the box and saw that there seemed to be a secret letter. He quickly opened it and read it. There were only a few lines on it: "The white-eared soldiers all give orders from Qingzhijian. Seeing Qingzhijian is like seeing General Zilong."
Li Xian was a little puzzled for a while. In other words, whether it was the white-eared soldiers in Chen Dao's hands or the white-eared soldiers left in Chengdu by Zhao Yun himself, they only listened to Qingzhijian's orders. Is this the way to say it? Then he looked at brothers Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong seemed to have made an appointment, and they all knelt down: "Brother! We two brothers also want to kill thieves for the country, so please take us to the battlefield and join your team, right?"
Li Xian said in astonishment: "Hurry up, two young generals. How can you do it? I promised the master that I will protect you two. How can I bring my two junior brothers to the battlefield and escape death?"
Zhao Guang replied: "A man is buried in horse leather! What's more, brother is victorious in every battle, and the young Lu Xun is no enemy of the general. Brother, just by your order, we are all willing to die. If we can't fight against the thief in battle, what's the difference?" Did you kill the two of us?"
Zhao Tong also echoed: "That's right, brother, take us two with you!"
Li Xian really had a headache, so he had no choice but to respond: "Okay! Then I will take you with me, but you must remember to be careful in everything and never underestimate the enemy."
"I obey the general's order!" The two of them seemed a little excited for a moment, and Li Xian's eyes began to get wet again for some reason.
"Do you have a pen and paper?"
Zhao Guang understood and immediately asked his servants to bring paper and pen. Li Xian slowly wrote: "I was drunk and read the sword with a lamp on, and I dreamed of blowing the trumpet in the company camp. Eight hundred miles away, my subordinates were burning, fifty strings were turned over the wall, and the battlefield Autumn is the time for troops. The horse is so fast, the bow is as frightening as a thunderbolt. It can solve the king's affairs and gain fame both in life and in life, but all the misfortunes are in vain."
Generals Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong had some ink in their stomachs, and they were shocked that it was the work of heaven and man. They immediately asked their servants to frame it and place it next to the tomb of General Zhao Yun.
"Two junior brothers, I still need your help with something," Li Xian said.
"Brother, it's okay to say it."
"We are facing the enemy Soochow, so naturally we have to have warships. I think I can leave the construction of this ship to you two." Li Xian said.
"What's so difficult about this?" Zhao Guang agreed. Zhao Tong seemed to be hesitant and asked: "Brother, what is the size of this building ship, how much does it cost, and what model should we build it according to? How many more migrant workers are needed?"
Li Xian smiled and said: "Brother Tong has thought carefully. The building ship I am talking about must be different from the building ship we usually talk about. This is the blueprint."
The two took the drawings and examined them carefully, and were surprised: "Such a building would cost more than a million taels to build, and it is about twice as big as an ordinary building."
Li Xian nodded: "Indeed, I would like to ask the two generals to write a letter requesting the treasury to allocate 20 million taels of silver to build ten high-rise ships. I will write a letter with the two generals tomorrow."
Hearing this, Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong looked at each other in shock, and could only bite the bullet and accept the errand. The twenty million taels was not a small number at all, but with Li Xian as the leader, they should be able to get it, but this time The national treasury is about to suffer a massive hemorrhage.
...
Let's say that after Li Xian arranged the things here, he returned to his home and reunited with his parents for dinner again. However, he heard Li Jun say while eating: "Xian'er, I want to tell you something as a father. You know that eggs can't be eaten." Put them in the same basket?"
"Of course I know."
"So my father has chosen several girls from Yizhou's wealthy families for you. Why don't you take a look at their family backgrounds before making a decision?"
When Li Xian heard this, he almost spit out his mouthful of rice: "Dad, are you okay? The child himself has nothing to do with the nobles in Yizhou."
"It's because you don't deal with it that you have to marry the daughter of the Yizhou clan. Don't you understand? You will go to Yong'an in a while, where the Yizhou clan is entrenched. Even if they give you a stumbling block, if you make peace with Yizhou When the big clans of the state get married, they will also throw in the towel, so that they can remain invincible, do you understand?"
"Dad, we can't discuss this matter until later..."
"No! Come up with an idea for me tomorrow morning!" Li Jun said with a serious face, "I'm already in my fifties and I haven't even given birth to a grandson yet. Don't you kid be accused of being unfilial!"
That night, Li Xian repeatedly looked at the list that his father thrust into his hand. He really didn't recognize anyone. It was indeed inappropriate to marry someone he had never met. But if he went to Yong'an, his parents and cousins would They are all in Chengdu, and if someone really stumbles, how can he ensure the safety of his family? Feeling uneasy, I got up again and walked around under the moon, thinking.
