The spring beauty of the river comes to heaven and earth, and the floating clouds on the jade barrier connect the past and the present.
The wind that gained great success in Pingtian in the five counties followed the people's hearts and blew silently all over the north and south of the Yangtze River, reaching Chang'an City.
The common people took action upon hearing the news, from small groups, quarrelsome families, lively discussions before and after tea, to small gatherings with hot drinks in restaurants, and with the help of well-intentioned people behind the scenes, and finally, this mass spontaneous drinking and drinking event , eventually turned into a grand carnival that lasted all night.
Scholars, farmers, workers, and businessmen poured into the streets like a tide. They cheered and jumped for joy. They exchanged cups for cups, chanted poems, and stayed up all night. In view of the strong strength of the current family, they did not have the courage to say what they were thinking. But everyone knows that with the beginning of the leveling of the five counties, the day when the world will be leveled is close at hand, and the day when the poor people in the world will be prosperous is just around the corner.
Everyone’s thoughts clearly expressed eight words.
The king's power is unified, and people's thoughts are with Han!
From this point of view, this thorough drinking that emptied out all the wine cellars in Chang'an City was more like a solemn declaration of war against the world's noble families.
Just as the whole city of Chang'an was boiling, the mansions of the branches of the aristocratic clans stationed in Chang'an City were closed and refused to welcome guests. They were like mice hiding in deep ditches and secret passages, chattering and drawing. An ulterior conspiracy.
...
This wind of great joy not only blew through the city's dignitaries, but also naturally reached the ears of the current prince Liu Huai. This was originally a matter that had nothing to do with him, but after hearing that the land of Pingwu County, The person who killed Jiang Ruisheng, the only son of the Jiang family, was actually an unknown boy who was one year younger than himself.
Now, Liu Huai can sit down
Can't stand it anymore.
Listening to the continuous sound of firecrackers outside the palace, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
It is said that one should gain fame at a young age. In recent years, young talents in the world have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Liu Anjia, who is most expected to become a generation of swordsmen, Dongfang Yu, the unparalleled sophist of Xingming Villa, and the wise Ruoyu from Xianda Academy. Xiao Lingyu of Xiao Lingyu, the gold, fire and earth in the Tianji Pavilion who understand the changes of yin and yang, etc., are all young and famous, amazing and talented people. It is really the waves from the Yangtze River that push forward the waves, and the new people in the world replace the old ones!
The song of life is playing, and those who are interested will be able to hear the hidden sounds. When people talk about young heroes such as Liu Anjia and Dongfang Yu, they will always be amazed and amazed. When talking about Liu Huai, perhaps, his prince His reputation is far greater than his actual status as a prince.
No wonder people say that he, Liu Huai, is a dignified prince of a country and holds a high position. He has not made any achievements so far, whether it is civil affairs or martial arts. In this era of talented people, no merit means fault, and mediocrity means incompetence. So much so that whenever the prince Liu Huai is mentioned in the world of martial arts and temples, he is only known to be the prince Liu Huai.
People say that it is scary. Liu Huai has been suffering and worrying recently. In the blink of an eye, he is approaching the year of his crowning. Thinking about the emperors of the ages, such as Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, they all became famous at a young age. If Liu Huai doesn't make a name for himself as soon as possible, he will go to court. When assisting the government, how should I subdue the ministers and how should I frighten the world?
After much thought, Liu Huai finally came to a decision: to become famous, he must hurry up; to become famous, he must hurry up!
No, in the Han calendar year, that is, when Liu Yi had just traveled alone in northern Xinjiang and returned to Lingnan in the south.
At that time in Yuancheng, the Lantern Festival had just passed, so Liu Huai summoned all his cronies to discuss the matter.
"Everyone, as the saying goes, 'You should make achievements as early as possible'. Nowadays, young heroes in the world have emerged together, attracting attention. The waves are rushing through the sand. As the crown prince of the country, I am also eager to establish meritorious deeds to establish myself in the world. You are all under my account Pythagorean My ministers, I have called you here today just to ask you to plan for me, what can I do in the world today to achieve unparalleled achievements?"
After Liu Huai finished speaking his mind without reservation, he raised his head and looked around at everyone present with expectant eyes.
Xun Ruoteng, who was sitting at the top of the tent, spoke first and said, "Your Highness, it is said that the emperor follows the dragon, the heroes follow the tiger, and the mediocre follow the crowd."
Liu Huai looked surprised when he saw Xun Ruoteng speaking first, "If you have any strategies in mind, Master Five, tell me quickly!"
Xun Ruoteng is now the Zhonglang general who protects the base among the emperor's twelve inner guards. He is talented in both literary and military skills. He is trusted and reused by the emperor Liu Yan. He is also the fifth master of the prince Liu Huai. It is worth mentioning that Xun Ruoteng and Chisong The governor of the county, Xun Yu, is of the same clan and the highest official position among the Yingchuan Xun family, one of the eight established families in Quzhou.
Seeing the emperor's question, Xun Ruoteng turned slightly sideways, cupped his hands to the prince Liu Huai and said, "Your Highness, I believe that the emperor is the person who leads the world. As the emperor, he is observing the changes in the world and observing the opportunities that may arise. When selecting and employing people, these are the principles of time, location, and harmony. If we master these three principles, the world will naturally have smooth weather, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and Guizhou will live in peace. Temples will be built widely, and merits will be eulogized. Your Majesty will naturally be famous in history."
Liu Huai nodded, but felt that
Xun Ruoteng said a lot of nonsense, but he still kept his temper and asked, "What the fifth master said is reasonable, but what specific measures did the fifth master take? Can you explain it clearly?" () ()
Xun Ruoteng groaned for a moment and said to Liu Huai, "Your Highness, I believe that Your Highness should ask Your Majesty to join the government as soon as possible. He can see all the opportunities firsthand and make decisions with his own hands. This is a smooth road and should not be based on temporary gains and losses of fame and fortune. This is the way of small quantity and useless effort!”
Liu Huai nodded and did not reply. Obviously, he was not particularly satisfied with Xun Ruoteng's answer. In his opinion, joining the dynasty to assist the government was a matter of course, and what he had to do was something that ordinary people could not do. What you accomplish is what ordinary people cannot accomplish.
Therefore, Xun Ruoteng's talk of joining the imperial court as a bright road to assisting the government was completely ignored by him.
Liu Huai, who longed for Chongshan, could never have imagined at this age that as a prince, he would have to control Chongshan, and joining the court to assist in government and accumulating contacts was the fastest and most reliable way to control Chongshan.
"Mr. Xun Zhong, what you said is wrong!"
Liu Huai turned his eyes and saw that it was Cao Ranmin, a soldier of the prime minister's palace who was a military general, who spoke. This made him happy, because as his third master, he could always give him unexpected surprises.
Ran Min is the third master of Prince Liu Huai and the most informal one among Liu Huai's six masters. Seeing him swallowing delicious food, he said carelessly, "The emperor can conquer the three rivers and shake the five mountains. The rivers and seas swallow up the sun and the moon. In the future, when His Highness ascends the throne, he will make the waves in the river rise to the sky every time he spits. How can he not be blessed with unparalleled fame?
? His Highness is approaching the age of 18 and is His Majesty’s only son. Joining the government to assist the government is a matter of course. How can this be regarded as merit? Your Highness might as well go out for a walk now, gain some experience, and establish some meritorious deeds so that you can shock the ministers when you serve in government! "
Liu Huai remained calm, but his hands kept rubbing in his sleeves, and his excitement was beyond words. It was obvious that Ran Min's words were to Liu Huai's taste.
At this time, Liu Huai's fourth master, Huan Wen, who was both civil and military and good at conspiracy, spoke up, "It is human nature to pursue fame and fortune. It is reasonable for His Highness to want to make a career that will make the world famous."
Hearing Huan Wen speak like this, Liu Huai was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Fourth master supports third master?"
Huan Wen smiled and shook his head, looked at Liu Huai who looked expectant, and continued, "Your Highness, Ying Zheng ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and I, Emperor Wu Che, succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen. They were both young men who succeeded to the throne. Merits, everyone in the world has his or her own division of labor. As Xun Ruoteng said, it is only by inheriting the authority early that His Highness can make contributions and establish a career. The merits of these young men in the world are insignificant compared with His Highness's great achievements in the spring and Autumn period in the future."
After that, Huan Wen looked at Liu Huai, who was drooping his head, and said earnestly, "Your Highness, you have to respond to the world at any time, and you must not get caught up in the trends. Your Highness's top priority is to get rid of the situation of being in charge of politics, assist in politics as soon as possible, and take advantage of the opportunity to win over With the support of Lu Zheng, Xie Sa, Tao Kan and other senior officials, the courtiers were stabilized. Only in this way can His Highness sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and remain invincible forever. As for the unparalleled achievements His Highness said, he will wait until His Majesty is honored with the great treasure. It can drive the heroes of the world to achieve what they want!"
Huan Wen still wanted to continue admonishing, but suddenly, Huan Wen's admonishment was interrupted by a "bah" sound. Everyone looked around and saw that it was Liu Huai's sleeve, which was suddenly torn open by Liu Huai inadvertently.
Liu Huai smiled awkwardly, his eyes full of unwillingness, but he still didn't say anything.
After years of studying poetry and books, Liu Huai is no longer the child who liked to play with cats and dogs, nor is he the boy who made trouble every day to move the capital. Today, he has learned to endure!
The people summoned today are all his Pythagorean ministers and the pillars who support him to ascend to the throne of the king. At this juncture, he must behave like a courteous and virtuous corporal. This is the earnest teaching of his father.
Xun Ruoteng, who had been silent since he finished speaking, was the first to notice Liu Huai's thoughts. Seeing Liu Huai like this, he fell into deep thought: Except for the second prince who died in infancy due to the "Sky Demon Case" more than ten years ago, , His Majesty only has one son, Prince Liu Huai, which means that sooner or later, the world will be his. So, what's the harm in letting this kid go out and have some experience?
Huan Wen also guessed Liu Huai's thoughts. He then thought: When he was in his twenties more than ten years ago, didn't he also think about being successful and becoming the leader in the world? Besides, Prince Liu Huai has been in the palace for a long time, so it is not necessarily a bad thing for him to go out and see the world.
However, from the perspective of interests, Huan Wen did not think Liu Huai's idea was very brilliant. Instead, he felt that the prince Liu Huai still did not understand the emperor's mind.
He hesitated and wanted to persuade Liu Huai again, but seeing the trace of sadness on Liu Huai's face and the years of master-disciple friendship, Huan Wen decided to
Change your words!
You have not understood the ways of an emperor, but I have long understood the rules of a minister.
Just four words: I miss you so much!
In this way, out of love for the prince, Xun Ruoteng and Huan Wen gave up their principles at the same time.
A shocking disaster started unknowingly!
