Shu Chen

Chapter 77
Preconceived, they prefer it.

At the beginning, the emperor Liu Shan was very curious about Zheng Pu.

After sending Fu Yu to worship at the next door for more than a year, Yu's knowledge has greatly increased, so he is even more different.

Today, when I hear that Zheng Pu talks about loyalty and festivals with calligraphy, I suddenly feel the intimacy of "virtuous people come from afar".

Therefore, the Son of Heaven rejoices and delights him.

After the ceremony, as soon as he entered the table, he raised a cup and invited Zheng Pu to share a drink to show his words.

After drinking it, he seemed unsatisfied, and he actually claimed that he had heard Zheng Pu's words of "thin tendons", and his heart was very good, and he wanted to copy and practice it in the future.

It also made Zheng Pu secretly ashamed.

The first is that Fu Yan was on his side, and he also knew that the calligraphy practiced by the emperor was eight points of the prime minister's official script.

On the other hand, as an emperor, calligraphy such as thin gold style, it is worth noting.To avoid, there is a certain number in the dark.

"Yan Ye Zhuo's work has entered His Majesty's eyes, and this minister is overjoyed!"

After thinking for a while, Zheng Pu thanked him first, and then followed the ceremony and remonstrated, "Of course, this subject's calligraphy, to cut the flesh and establish the bones to encourage integrity, is the way of the people and the subject! , Your Majesty, please don't copy it."

"Alas!"

When the emperor Liu Shan heard this, he smiled happily, and sighed, "I don't want Zheng Qing's words to be almost the same as Fei Qing's advice. Those who are not sages will see everything in the same way!"

Fei Qing?

Is it Fei Wenweixie, the servant of the Huangmen?
However, after the Prime Minister returned from the Southern Expedition, didn't he send him to Soochow as an ambassador?
Zheng Pu listened with surprise, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

And the honest son of Heaven, Liu Chan, was overjoyed when he saw it, and said, "Zheng Qing doesn't know, you recorded the silk silk that you gave to the great master in "Inscription of the Shabby Room". , I copy it and I am used to it. When Fei Qing heard it, he gave me advice. His words are almost indistinguishable from Zheng Qing's words today!"

It turned out to be the case.

Hearing this, Zheng Pu hurriedly saluted and said that he was humble.

The emperor Liu Shan seemed to be very close to Zheng Pu, and he smiled at Yan Yan. He not only praised the "Original Landscape of Hometown" many times, but also claimed that he had taught the palace music to learn. Fun.

Even the bamboo tube rice was talked about.

In this regard, Zheng Pu did not, and felt the irony of "don't ask the common people and ask the ghosts and gods".

It is a sigh, similar to the pity of "If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight".

Although the person in front of him is noble as the Son of Heaven, has no worries about food and clothing, and serves many people, he will inevitably become a noble "prisoner" bound by the secular and ritual laws.

It seems that the emperor's teeth are one or two years younger than me, right?
At the age of frivolous, fresh clothes and angry horses, he was sleepy in the palace all day long. How many of them are boring and know the evil?
Thinking of this, Zheng Pu knew very well in his heart, and he followed the will of the emperor. He selected some of the fun of the mountains, the joy of the market, and the customs of Bashu and Nanzhong, and elaborated.

Also let the Son of Heaven talk about a great victory and be happy.

Sometimes they clasped their hands and laughed, sometimes they sighed when they attacked the case, and they frequently raised an invitation cup.

That's why the old man in the palace who served around the emperor couldn't bear to feel a little sore in his eyes and nose.

Because the emperor was only a few hours old, he served on the side. It has not been seen for a long time. The emperor has such a happy and dripping face!
Zheng Yan smiled and didn't want to be approached from a distance. He went straight to the table, bowed to the emperor, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the hour has come."

"Ah! Today is so fast and evil?"

Although he was still unhappy, the emperor Liu Shan was surprised and nodded, "I know."

Immediately, he got up and walked up, grabbed the hand of Zheng Pu, who also got up, and said softly, "When you have a feast with Qing, it's like a white horse passing through the gap, and the three autumns are just one day! It's a pity! I know that Qing still needs to work hard for the country and affairs. It's cumbersome, and it's not appropriate to enter the palace more, but I really like to sit and discuss with the minister, and I will have another banquet when the minister rests in the rest of the day."

The words were so precise that Zheng Pu couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt.

Immediately, he bowed and said in a loud voice, "It is the honor of the minister to receive His Majesty's banquet! If the minister has heard of it, the one who has received the monarch's long grace should kill him in return! If His Majesty sends it, the minister will surely say this!"

"It's too much! It's too much!"

Helping Zheng Pu up, the emperor Liu Chan smiled, nodded lightly, and turned to leave.

Well, he is going to sign today's court case.

It seems that the imperial government is fully entrusted to the prime minister, and the emperor has leisure time, in fact, there is not much time for self-entertainment every day.

When Changmao is coming, the court will come, and if there is no court meeting, it will be transferred to self-study biography, and it will stop at noon.

After a short rest, when the application period began, he reviewed the court records.

These documents will not be paid to the decree.

But it was sent by the Prime Minister, and it has not been approved yet, for the emperor to make his own approval.

Because on the next day, the Prime Minister will make a copy of what he has reviewed, and let the assistants transcribe a copy and send it to the palace, so that the emperor can compare the pros and cons.

If there is something incomprehensible or contradictory, the emperor can order the audience to wait for his valet, and pass it to the prime minister and the prime minister for advice.

For example, Pang Hong, who was in the audience before, because of this responsibility, he often traveled to the imperial palace and the prime minister's residence.

And no matter how busy the Prime Minister is, he will explain in detail the reasons and insights that night.

Therefore, although the Son of Heaven is not yet pro-government, he is more busy than pro-government.

In other words, the former emperor entrusted the prime minister with an orphan, and let the emperor treat the prime minister like a father; and the prime minister regarded the emperor as a prince, like a parent-child, and persuaded him earnestly and taught him honestly.

Day after day, the Son of Heaven is rarely entertained, and there are reasons for it.

However, if I had a feast with Zheng Pu today, I was in a good mood, and the emperor's footsteps when he returned to sign the case were quite brisk.

It's just a pity that when Fang turned around the rockery and the figure did not enter the forbidden area, the valet who had come to urge him earlier bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this minister dares to speak out, and in the future, it is better to call Zheng Shuzuo less in the palace. ."

He is Dong Yun.

The name is Xiu Zhao, and his father was Dong He, the former commander of the army, and one of the early leaders of Dongchuan scholars.

When the First Sovereign, Liu Bei, established the crown prince, he was chosen as the Shiren and later moved to wash the horse.Today, when the emperor ascended the throne, the prime minister moved to serve as a servant of the Huangmen because of his fair-mindedness.

When the emperor Liu Chanfu heard the remonstrance, he immediately restrained his expression, stopped and glanced sideways, and was suddenly displeased.

"Why did Dong Qing make such an evil statement?!"

Dong Yun still bowed his head slightly, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, "Your Majesty has summoned Zheng Shuzuo to sit and talk for the pleasure of leisure! If time goes on, I am afraid that Zheng Shuzuo will be the fortunate minister in the court and the public."

Hearing this, the emperor silently responded.

After a while, he walked forward again, and muttered in disappointment, "I, I know."

Let the heavy steps, dragging the fading back, melt into the ruined winter scenery, adding a bit of bleakness.

But Zheng Pu, who took Fu Yan out of the palace, was a different scene.

When the Son of Heaven was leaving, he asked Guo Youzhi to serve him with him recently, waiting to be sent for a ride to show his grace.

Well, Guan Xing, a servant in the middle who used to be with the emperor, was transferred to a military position not long ago, and he was assigned to supervise the army and command the army.It seems that the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang had the will to let him follow the army in the northern expedition in order to gain the fame of his stepfathers.

The servant Guo Youzhi was one of the attendants personally selected by the late emperor Liu Bei for the emperor, and he was also an old man in the palace.

When he walked side by side with Zheng Pu, he smiled and said with emotion, "Zheng Shuzuo, when the Son of Heaven kissed you and had a banquet, I was full of joy. I know that Shuzuo is talented and learned, and he is different from each other. When he enters the palace again in the future. , and please tell the emperor more about his knowledge or customs, so as to benefit the emperor's diligent learning."

"promise!"

Hearing this, Zheng Pu turned his head to the side, cupped his hands and said aloud, "I am also a servant and I should strive for the benefit of the emperor."

"good!"

Guo Youzhi smiled even better and praised him.

The two said and did what they said, and after a while, they went to the gate of the palace and said goodbye to each other.

Stepping into the rudimentary deer cart and taking a seat, Zheng Pu nodded slightly at his squire Zheng Yi, indicating that he could drive the Yunnan horse, and then instructed Fu Yu, who was beside him, "Call me with your voice when passing by the State Academy."

After he finished speaking, he narrowed his drooping brows, half-closed his eyes and thought.

It wasn't because of thinking about the gain or loss of having a banquet with the emperor Liu Chan.

It is the feeling in his heart, the honest temperament of the emperor, and the kindness shown to himself.

It is true that today's Zi's talent or personality is not as good as that of the late emperor Liu Bei.

But there is one thing that is quite similar.

The former emperor can make people die, but today Zi and Zheng Pu feel like straight and honest gentlemen, who can be friends with one heart and one heart.

It is also!

It was so bizarre.

As a human subject, how can you see the power of heaven without seeing evil?

A person who sits in the north and is called a widow, can An Neng talk about the evil of friends?
For a while, Zheng Pu did not know that it was the reason of his own temperament, and he often committed crimes because of his stubbornness. Therefore, as soon as he met the emperor's earnestness, he had an illusion in his heart.In other words, it is the emperor Liu Shan, who has the majesty of no one.

It should be a combination of both!
With a hundred tossing hearts and no solution, Zheng Pu took a middle ground and stopped worrying for a while.

I also thought about it, when I went to see the Son of Heaven today, what I saw and heard about the palace ban was boring, so I remembered what Guo Youzhi said.

The Son of Heaven kisses me, why is there a joyous banquet?
Alas, that's all.

A monarch should not be trapped in the imperial palace, ignorant of the difficulties of Li Shu!

Let me see how to make plans. When the time is right, I will advise the Prime Minister to see if I can get you a chance to leave the palace.

After some thought, Zheng Pu put the matter aside for the time being.

It just so happened that at this time, Fu Yan, who was beside him, said aloud, "Sir, the state school has arrived."

"it is good."

Nodding slightly, Zheng Pu called out to the squire Zheng Yi, who was pulling the horse in front of him, "Stop the car."

He was going to enter the state school, and he would send a pilgrimage to Quan Xue to engage in Qiao Zhou, and invited him to come to the small house to talk in his spare time.

In the past, Qin Mi had mentioned that Yan Qiao Zhou had made him famous in the ears of the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, and compared him with Zhang Biao, Yang Xi and others, which is also considered to have a reputation for being famous, and he should walk around for a while.

Since he has the heart to make friends, Zheng Pu is also not good at giving people good intentions.

Human beings are worldly, the body is still alive, and it is inevitable.

The two adhered to the principle of "a gentleman's friendship is as light as water", and they had been in contact with each other before, discussing knowledge, etc., and gradually became familiar with each other.

Now that I have returned to Chengdu, and I am in a resting bath, it is not good to ignore it and not ask.

And Zheng Pu's invitation this time is not purely a human relationship.

It is more about the Northern Expedition that he has been thinking about recently, and there are some details that may be beneficial to the country. I would like to ask Qiao Zhou to help.

Because he was a Confucian scholar who studied ancient times and studied the Six Classics, he was the best in the generation of Bashu.

It is also Zheng Pu that he knows and is good at, and is one of the few Confucian scholars who can be invited and moved.
