Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 142
Liu Bei and his entourage stayed at the inn until May, but never saw the little emperor.
No, strictly speaking, they have seen the respect of the little emperor from a distance. Almost every day, I teach openly on the high platform of the main hall of the academy. But there are guards guarding the audience, and there are too many scholars listening to the class. Even if the emperor occasionally shouts a few words of condolence to the audience after class, it cannot be regarded as a real visit to the emperor.
The real worship of the emperor is on the first and fifteenth day of each month. Cao Cao dispatched officials to report the work of the month to the emperor, followed by the selection of school disciples and the transfer of personnel, and finally the reception of visitors from all over the world.
Limited places per session.
Liu Bei came here on his own, and he never informed Cao Cao, so he smeared all the systems in Xu County. When I went to the school, I hit a wall before I knew that if I wanted to worship, I had to make an appointment in advance. As a result, isn’t it scheduled until June 15th?
The beginning of summer has passed, and the sky is getting hotter. Compared with the spring, the number of people attending the class in the square is less, but it is still a spectacular scene. Today is the chapter “The Doctrine of the Mean”. Originally, Classics and History was taught by Taiwei Yang Biao, but because Yang Biao had a slight heat stroke, Cai Yong took the class instead.
Cai Yong’s lecture can be regarded as a classic, but the content is not as fresh and interesting as Cao Sheng’s practical class, plus the sun is shining, so Zhang Fei began to fall asleep, faint He put his head on Liu Bei’s shoulder.
Guan Yu was slightly better than him, with his eyes closed and his back straight, people couldn’t tell whether he was resting or dozing off.
On the contrary, Liu Bei, who was tired of learning when he was young, listened to the whole process with a smile on his face. But he didn’t listen to “The Moderate” either.
“Class is over today.” Xiao Huangmen’s sharp voice penetrated the sultry air, causing everyone to be shocked. Zhang Fei shook his shoulders, and Guan Yu also opened his eyes.
“Salute—”
Including Liu Xie, everyone saluted Cai Yong as a disciple. “Thank you, Master Cai.” Cai Yong turned to the side and bowed back to Liu Xie.
Xiao Huangmen ran to Liu Xie’s side: “Does Your Majesty have anything else to order today?”
The little emperor nodded: “The weather is getting hotter day by day, and it is not easy for all students to attend lectures under the scorching sun. Cao Zi has ordered the Mojia children to rush to make 600 large umbrellas for the organs, which can be used tomorrow. And tell it.”
Immediately, five eunuchs with loud voices repeated the words of the emperor in order in front of the square, in exchange for a thunderous sound of gratitude. Then, another circle of mung bean soup came down. The three brothers Liu Bei also received a bowl each and drank it.
“Hey, it’s still sweet.” Zhang Fei said, “His Majesty the emperor is living a lavish life.”
Liu Bei glared at him: “This is holy grace.”
Zhang Fei laughed. Guan Yu had a serious expression on his face: “Brother, it’s not a big deal for us to come here every day to listen to lectures. With so many people, Your Majesty doesn’t even know who our brothers are.”
“You also said that if Your Majesty doesn’t know us, then there will be no special summons, so we can only follow the path of Cao’s house. If they want to take Qiao, we can’t do anything about it. After all, there is a number plate , just wait.” Liu Bei smiled helplessly, and then returned the bowl to the little palace maid.
Guan Yu was anxious: “Then we really need to wait until June 15th? Brother, most of our episodes will stay in Xuzhou. As time goes on, God knows what Tao Qian will do.”
The three were worried all the way. The newly built Xuxian County is naturally very good. The streets are spacious and clean, the houses are sturdy, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but they are outsiders to Xuxian after all. The more prosperous the city is, the more despondent it becomes.
But it has to be said that Liu Bei’s luck is very good. As soon as they returned to the inn, they heard a group of scholars talking excitedly in the lobby.
“I heard that Yingchuan Shizi also formed a Cuju team, I think, it is specially for our Chenliu Cuju team.”
“What are you afraid of? Cuju is not as good as them, our brother Bian is a good horseman.”
“No matter how good it is, can you be better than those warriors from cavalry? There are many people from Bingzhou and Youzhou gathered in Xu County. They grew up on horseback.”
The words mentioned Youzhou people, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are Youzhou people, and Guan Yu is half of them. This had to make the three brothers pay attention. Liu Bei pulled out a scholar who was arguing and invited him to drink. Only then did he get accurate information.
“On the tenth day of the fifth month, that is, seven days later, three competitions of horseback shooting, cuju and wrestling will be held at the Chengxi Racecourse. The winner can attend the banquet of the emperor that night. , it is not impossible to give an official directly!”
Liu Bei was overjoyed, but he had to press his emotions down: “Didn’t you say that it’s not the 15th day of the first day, the emperor will not receive foreign ministers?”
“Who said that? Didn’t Yang Biao and Dong Cheng send posts to Meibing Pavilion every three days? Duke Zhong Hua didn’t say anything, and invited them to dinner together. But this kind of treatment is not the prefect High-ranking officials above are not available.”
Be prefect. The three of Liu Bei looked at each other and sighed. If they could swallow Taishan County, they would be prefects now, which is a pity.
“In this way, the competition on the tenth day of May is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“That’s not it, how many poor children who can’t see Shengyan are holding back their energy! The big clans in different regions also compete with each other.” , “This is His Majesty’s own idea.”
Liu Bei filled him with a glass again: “I would like to hear the details.”
“Your Majesty’s piece “Advancing Martial Arts” half a month ago, eh, that’s all, ‘Martial arts in troubled times, prosperous culture and governance, today’s great chaos, martial arts first, noble family sons should join the army, Fang To serve the country first.’”
Guan Yu interjected: “I certainly did not miss this important event. Your Majesty’s original manuscript was posted in front of the Academy for three days.”
“Then do you still listen?” said the drunken scholar.
Guan Yu shut up, Liu Bei hurriedly persuaded him to drink again. “You talk, you talk.”
“Prince Zhonghua said that His Majesty’s literary talent is still lacking, but he has already obtained the truth. It is better to try it out. So there is this competition. I heard that the project is also appointed by His Majesty. Then, from the family to the capital of Guizhou, there is a martial heart.”
Liu Bei lowered his head and thought for a while: “If it is done well, I am afraid that there will be martial arts competitions every year in the future, and it will become a custom.”
“That’s right!” The scholar was already drinking high, and let out a strange shout, “It is a blessing in this life to be born under the rule of Yanzhou.” Then, he fell down with a plop. In several cases, passed out.
Liu Bei called the servants in the shop to take care of the drunk, and he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back to the room.
“I’m going to wrestle.” Zhang Fei shouted as soon as the door closed, “I don’t need to make an appointment this time.”
There is nothing wrong with Liu Bei. “It’s a pity that the three of us are not good at archery, otherwise we can have an extra layer of protection. Now we can only rely on the bravery of the two brothers. I also signed up for wrestling with the brothers, but I’m afraid I won’t make it to the final.”
“Hahaha, eldest brother, look at my Zhang Yide! Brother Yunchang, you…you can’t, you can’t let go.”
Guan Yu snorted coldly: “See the real move on the field.”
“Hahaha.” Zhang Fei laughed again, “I’m so happy, I’ve been suffocating here for a month, this is the first time I’ve felt so happy.”
The three of them went to prepare for the competition, not to mention the competition day. White clouds floated in the blue sky, and the soil of the racecourse was slightly hot from the sun. But because it is windy today, it is also a comfortable weather.
The emperor’s motorcade came here, and the elite guards raised red, black and yellow bunting, neatly distributed around the racecourse. On the grandstand, a canopy for the emperor has long been erected to provide shade for the emperor and nobles.
Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Dong Cheng, Ding Gong, Cao Sheng, Guo Jia… and even Cao Cao’s wife, Mrs. Ding, were all heavyweights in attendance, which made the contestants scream.
Compared to the vast riding and shooting competitions and Cuju competitions, wrestling is the smallest scene. There are ten arenas in a row, two or two go up to the duel, and the loser is eliminated. The final eight games will be moved to the red ring closest to the stands.
The people who were frightened by the big scene with weak legs were naturally the first batch to be screened out. For example, Liu Bei’s first opponent, the man who was eight feet tall, was almost pushed down.
Is this too nervous to stand still? Liu Bei smiled and got off the stage and put on a single shirt to cover his naked chest.
Zhang Fei on the next stage didn’t even wear any clothes, and jumped on the stage with his chest bare, shouting: “It’s too slow to come one by one, the people from the Wuchen group, let’s go up together. Well, it’s only your grandfather and me who made it to the finals anyway.”
Who grandfather? you make it clear. A group of people rushed into the ring fiercely shaking their muscles, and then Zhang Fei threw them down one by one, as if throwing sandbags. “Hey!” “Drink!” “The guy who is not as heavy as a hog will come to wrestle?” “Hahaha, you tripped by yourself, grandfather gave you a ride.”
Compared to Zhang Fei, who was talking about hatred, Guan Yu was much quieter. Boxing is just flesh, civilized people play.
Liu Bei is naturally proud, and he is lucky to have such a brave brother. Even if he himself lost in the third round, he couldn’t stop his good mood.
“Apart from Xu Chu of the Jiazi group, no one can fight against the two virtuous brothers. Xu Chu is a man of Duke Cao, and if he only wants to be famous, I am afraid he will not compete for His Majesty’s banquet.” Liu Bei analyzed , while retreating to the rest area, but his eyes drifted to the grandstand from time to time.
A Sheng sat far away from the emperor this time, two more seats than usual. On her left is Guo Jia, who is hanging around, and on her right is Mrs. Ding, who is sitting upright.
“You don’t need to carry it.” Ah Sheng persuaded, “This activity is meant to be fun with the people.”
Then Mr. Ding took the drink in front of him and ate it. “I couldn’t persuade Duke Cai’s daughter to marry far away. I always feel that I can’t raise my head in front of your brother.”
“Hey, brother himself can’t persuade him. He knows he can’t persuade him, so he sent sister here, and his intentions are very bad.”
These words attracted Guo Jia’s frequent glances.
Ding covered the corners of her mouth with her sleeves, smiling like a flower: “Oh, now you can tell me a few Meng De jokes. Juancheng mansion is so boring. Very, Mrs. Bian has always been cautious, Ahuan looks good but I don’t understand the thoughts of her little daughters who are sad in spring and autumn, and even flattery on the face is not speculative.”
“Humph. When my brother received Mrs. Huan, he didn’t even tell me a word. Ah Jie was born, and I only knew that there was such a person.” She handed Mrs. Ding a white peach, “What do you think of the concubines trapped in the inner house, so you just stand outside under the sky, the old and the weak in the army, the Marseille gathering, the wedding reception, the sacrifice to the farmers, it is not enough for you to live a fulfilling life. ?”
“These are also my responsibility, but I always have to worry about those children, and gradually I stand up. Do you think that when it comes to Kaimeng, I will also send you to Liaodong? But I always feel that It would be better to read for His Majesty’s companion, I want to call Aang and Ashuo to Xu County.”
“The elder sister is their mother, so naturally the elder sister is in charge.” Ah Sheng took a sip of herbal tea, “My little classroom has become a beautiful jade? Everyone is rushing to give it away. Nephew here.”
“Look at what you said, what’s so inconspicuous? Tianzi classmate, Cao master disciple—”
Aunt and sister-in-law talked about children’s topics and chatted with Guo Jia from time to time. And it was hot on the field. From the disappearance of the morning dew to the west of the sun, the little emperor has sent people to deliver three laps of soup, and then the first event will be decided. But naturally with the rebelliousness of the Hu people.
