Chapter 225(1/2)
Pang De also knew that he was anxious!
He followed Liu Chuang from Xudu all the way, but he was not worried that Liu Chuang would not use him.
However, the promise that Liu Chuang also made Pang De put the stone in his throat back into his stomach.
Thinking about it, I was just a newcomer, except for Du Ji, Xiahou Lan, Wu Ban, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, almost no one else knew. Pang De knew in his heart that Liu Chuang had the strong generals, including the people of Taishi Ci, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong, and Zhang Liao, who had already been to Feiru and Lu Longsai, were also veterans who had fought on the battlefield for many years, and he could only compare with him.
Not to mention, there was a tiger sitting at Liu Chuang's home.
Even though the tiger was already disabled, the tiger was old and majestic, and its momentum made Pang De shocked.
At this time, instead of being eager to do things, it is better to try to get familiar with these generals and officials of Liu Chuang first.
Pang De has a arrogant personality, so it depends on who he is.
In front of Ma Chao, he will not be arrogant; in front of Liu Chuang, he will not be arrogant. Uncle Liu has so many generals who are good at fighting, so he will have to cooperate with them in the future. Instead of cramming at that time, it is better to have more friends while it is time to get along.
Besides, I am not familiar with the soldiers and horses in Uncle Liu’s hands.
In this case, even if Liu Chuang makes arrangements for him, Pang De may not be able to get started all at once.
So, don't worry, patience is...
"Uncle Emperor, you are back... Master Zheng has been waiting in the study for a long time."
When I returned to Zheng Mansion, I saw Wang Jing waiting at the door.
When Liu Chuang learned that Zheng Xuan had been waiting, he did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly asked Wang Jing to take Pang De down to settle down, but he hurriedly came to the study.
Rumble!
When Liu Chuang walked into Zheng Xuan's study room, the thunderstorm that had been holding on for a long time finally poured down.
In Zheng Xuan's study room, a large butter wax was lit, and the flames were slapped at the palm of his hand, making the study room feel transparent. Zheng Xuan was wearing a white robe, lying on the couch, mattress under his body, holding a volume of "Shangshu" in his hand, reading it leisurely.
"Why don't you rest yet?"
Liu Chuang hurriedly walked forward and sat down beside Zheng Xuan.
Zheng Xuan sat up with Liu Chuang's support and asked with a smile: "Meng Yan, how are you talking to Yan Rou?"
"Very good!"
Liu Chuang took the book from Zheng Xuan and placed it on the desk. "It can be seen that Bo is a proud and arrogant person. But he is indeed talented. The whole Liaodong is almost hidden in his head and can be picked up at will. I talked with him and gained a lot... I just want him to serve me, it may be a bit difficult. If I can't show enough strength, he may not have ended up with me."
A smile appeared on Zheng Xuan's face.
"In that case, how are you going to make him surrender?"
"I will ask him for help first, and I will go on a mission to the vassal state of Liaodong, and I will stabilize my position for the time being.
Then, I should seek Liaodong as soon as possible... I am the prefect of Liaodong by the emperor. If I can't even take Liaodong, how can the Han Dynasty be faced? Where can the emperor be faced?"
Liu Chuang's words were filled with coldness.
Zheng Xuan has long passed the age of fuss, so he doesn't care.
He nodded gently, "Liaodong is the territory of my great Han Dynasty... All the lands in the boundaries of the territory are kings, and all the lands in the world are kings. Gongsun's family has been stolen from Liaodong for many years, and it is indeed time to take him back. However, it is not only Liaodong, but also Xuantu County, and Lelang County. The Goguryeo people have repeatedly invaded our territory for many years, so Meng Yan must not be ruthless to him. If you have the opportunity, you might as well destroy it."
Liu Chuang felt that he was already very murderous, but after hearing Zheng Xuan's words, he couldn't help but scream.
Goguryeo...
The old man wants me to destroy the Goguryeo country!
According to principles, Zheng Xuan was well-read in poetry and books, had amazing knowledge, and should have a peaceful mind.
Just like in later film and television novels, people often have to treat others with kindness, which seems to be in line with the style of a great scholar and a great scholar.
However, Liu Chuang ignored a problem.
Confucianism in the Han Dynasty was completely different from Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties, and even the Qing dynasties. It can be said that Confucianism in the Ming and Qing dynasties was a castrated Confucianism, full of morality, benevolence and righteousness, and full of women and men's prostitutes. Confucianism in the Han Dynasty was still in a stage of development and rise. Therefore, Confucianism in this period emphasized the need to embrace all rivers and tolerate people's ambitions. Moreover, Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty would not hold the idea that "everything is inferior, but only high reading". Looking at all the famous Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty, they were not only knowledgeable, but also had a strong physique.
Riding and shooting is a compulsory lesson for Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty.
For example, Wang Yun, who set up a series of plans to kill Dong Zhuo, was a ranger in his early years. He was good at fencing and riding and shooting.
Most of the time, Zheng Xuan showed the style of a gentleman.
But on the issue of principle, he was also extremely tough... Not to mention Zheng Xuan, many Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty had such a temperament.
The so-called self-swallowing one's face would never appear among the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty.
If such a thing really happened, the Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty would definitely use old fists... This is exactly in line with the statement that Confucius said, "How to repay kindness with virtue, repay kindness with virtue, and repay grievance with direct grievances." Liu Chuang liked this era, especially better than the later prosperous Tang Dynasty. He even believed that in terms of blood, the blood of scholars in the Han Dynasty was far superior to the scholars in the Tang Dynasty. But thinking about it, it seems that it is not impossible... After the Han Dynasty, between the Han and Tang Dynasties, there was still difficulty in invading China. The blood of the Han people and the blood of Confucianism, every time after such a disaster that was almost exterminated, there would be a gap, become thinner, and even become a later slave Confucian culture.
If the Han and Tang Dynasties were still there, how could Hu Er be rampant?
Liu Chuang looked at Zheng Xuan's cold look, how could he dare to refuse?
"Meng Yanke knows why I hate Goguryeo to the core?"
"this……"
"In the past, an elder I had been driven to Lelang as the prefect due to the Party and Counterfeiting disaster.
At that time, the Goguryeo Palace died. His son Bogu invaded Liaodong and colluded with the Gongsun clan to kill the county magistrate of the Dianfang, and even kidnapped my elder's wife. My elder was unwilling to be humiliated and committed suicide. However... Later, in the second year of Jianning, Geng Lin was the prefect of Xuantu County and defeated Bogu. Na Bogu surrendered, but secretly colluded with Gongsun Du to kill Geng Lin and occupy Xuantu.
This person now lives in a domestic city.
But he has always colluded with Gongsun Du and controlled Xuantu County."
When Zheng Xuan said this, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "At that time, Xuantu County still had a population of more than 100,000. But now, the total population of the five counties of Xuantu County is less than 50,000. Meng Yan, this is a great shame for the people of the Han Dynasty! If you have the opportunity in the future, you must not be kind to the Goguryeo people."
At the end of Xiping, around 178 AD, it is less than twenty years.
In twenty years, the population of Xuantu County has dropped sharply by 100,000...
Where did these people go?
Liu Chuang felt anger suddenly burst into tears in his heart, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"Don't worry, my father. One day, I will make the Goguryeo land thousands of miles away, and one ten is not left!"
After hearing this, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but smile appeared on his face and nodded slightly.
"Okay, let's talk about your next plan."
Liu Chuang closed his eyes and calmed down his mood.
But the murderous intent did not fade away, but was hidden deep in his heart. He took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts.
"Father Shi, I want to turn Guzhu City into a city of scholars.
I am going to open academy again, recruit scholars from all over the world to study here, and become a holy place in the minds of all scholars in the world.
However, this project is extremely huge... After I stabilize my position, I will try to move the people of Guzhu City out and become a simple academic place. This idea is not yet mature, and I need to check for me, Shifu, to design a perfect plan.
In the future, even if I lose and die, I can still preserve a holy land for scholars all over the world."
Zheng Xuan was shocked when he heard Liu Chuang's idea.
He pondered for a moment and said softly: "Meng Yan, this matter is of great importance. It is best not to say it out before you have enough strength, otherwise there will be trouble. Since ancient times, reading has been controlled by prominent families. Doing this is equivalent to cutting off the trend of the family. How could they give up? But if you can really promote it like this, it would be a great good thing for scholars all over the world.
But……"
Zheng Xuan patted Liu Chuang on the shoulder and said softly: "Some things must be done slowly, and you must not be rushing to achieve success.
Let me do this, I will try to communicate with You'an and the others. If you have any questions, I will know about it. But before that, you must not let go of the news."
Liu Chuang bowed quickly and responded to his order!
Zheng Xuan and Liu Chuang had a conversation for a while and then felt tired.
No wonder, he is now 72 years old, and is 73 years old... This is a hurdle for the old man in later generations. In history, he was already bedridden in bed this year and will die the next year. However, now, due to Liu Chuang's care and the pain of losing his son, Zheng Xuan's body is still healthy, but his spirit is a bit lacking.
Liu Chuang helped Zheng Xuan back to rest. After seeing the simple furnishings in Zheng Xuan's bedroom, he couldn't help but frown.
He returned to the room and drew out the drawings of the kang overnight.
This is a killer weapon for wintering in western Liaoning! No one cares about it, but Zheng Xuan’s kang must be done first to avoid suffering from the north wind.
He handed the drawings to Wang Jing and arranged for Wang Jingxian to build them for Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning and other old men.
Afterwards, he recorded some related ideas on paper and prepared to return to Linyu the next day to make unified arrangements.
But after everything is arranged, it is almost ugly.
Liu Chuang also felt a little tired.
I didn’t have a good rest in Linyu yesterday, so I came to Guzhu City and was busy all day.
Hearing the sound of rain outside the window, Liu Chuang fell on the couch and slowly fell asleep... It is said that being an emperor is very happy, but when you take on a country, you will feel that it is not as beautiful as you imagined. Liu Chuang is not even a prince now, but he feels that the affairs he has to deal with are too complicated. He has always said in his previous life that Zhuge Liang must take care of everything personally, how about it... But when you really get to that position, you will find that the so-called big things are the gathering of countless tedious things.
If it doesn't work, it will be a headache in just one day. If this continues, it will probably not take long to exhaust you.
Um!
You can consider forming a secretary supervisor.
In this way, maybe you can share the pressure?
Liu Chuang thought, fell asleep...
"Young Master, you wake up!"
To be continued...
