Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 558
The 18th year of Xiping, January
Liu Bei has already arrived in Luoyang, but no one came to meet him except the crown prince Liu Mastiff. Everyone regarded him as the reincarnation of Yang Qiu, and even a cruel official who surpassed Yang Qiu. Many officials in the DPRK had forged mortal feuds that could not be forgiven. For example, Huang Wan who served as Jiuqing, Huang Zu who was in Shangshutai, and the Kuai brothers who held official positions in Ningzhou.

And many local celebrities.

Liu Bei bloodbathed the big family in Jingzhou. This is not a powerful family. This is a family. The family has never suffered such a blow. Even if it is a party, it is only a family that cannot be an official. How can it be said that it is all exterminated? ?Many children from these aristocratic families have official positions. These people kneel at the gate of the palace every day, crying to the emperor, demanding severe punishment for Liu Bei's atrocities. There have been large-scale protests.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Bei's behavior is self-renunciation and all officials. Not only him, but Situ Gong Lu Zhi has also been implicated. Who let this outstanding cruel official be taught by him?However, Lu Zhi didn't care about other people's words. Anyway, he was old, and no one dared to say anything to him face to face. They were afraid that something might happen to the old man. After Liu Bei arrived in Luoyang, he found that everyone was treating him dissatisfaction.

At the city gate, only Liu Mastiff was waiting for him with Cao Pi, Zhou Yu, and Lu Yu. When he saw Liu Bei coming, Liu Mastiff hurried forward to pay respects. South, making treacherous evildoers fearful, having nowhere to hide, and benefiting the people everywhere, Mastiff heard about it, and I admire it in my heart!!" Hearing what Liu Mastiff said, Liu Bei felt a little better, and said with a smile: "It's all because of the Lord Man and the Guan Jun will help you too!"

Liu Mastiff saw Man Chong and Guan Yu again, and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Guan, Yuan Gong and Yue Qian have a precious son, you may not know it."

Guan Yu looked shocked, nodded, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I will definitely visit the captain later."

Liu Mastiff nodded. After so many years, Hua Xiong and Guan Yu still called Yuan Shu the captain. Even though he hadn't been the captain for nearly ten years, they didn't change the name. Such feelings, sometimes, are really true. What is so enviable, Liu Mastiff thought in his heart, so he took Liu Bei, chatted all the way, walked towards Liu's mansion, entered the city, Guan Yu bid farewell to everyone and left, and he wanted to send the soldiers of the Northern Army Take it back to camp.

Liu Bei repeatedly thanked Guan Yu for his help along the way, and said: "If there is time, I hope to be able to get together with Guan Jun!!"

Before Guan Yu could open his mouth, Man Chong reminded quietly: "Important ministers in the temple cannot gather privately with generals." Liu Bei smiled helplessly, sent Guan Yu away, and continued to chat with Liu Mastiff. Liu Mastiff also told After Luo Yangnei condemned him, he said in a low voice: "Mr. Liu must be careful. Now, although there are only three traitors, there are still many close relatives and distant relatives of them in this temple."

Liu Mastiff was talking to Liu Bei, and walked around a street. Suddenly, dozens of people appeared in front of them. These people were all dressed as servants, carrying wooden sticks and various weapons in their hands. Liu Mastiff was taken aback. Putting on his sword, he turned around, and many people appeared behind him, blocking them directly on this path. The people in front and behind, each carrying a murder weapon, were sizing up the people in front of them.

Zhou Yu was furious and was about to speak, but Liu Mastiff quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.

Liu Mastiff looked at the crowd and scolded loudly: "Who are you waiting for? How dare you besiege the big Han Sinong?!"

When he spoke like this, those people didn't answer, they approached Liu Bei and the others, and Liu Mastiff looked at them coldly.

"Shh!!!"

In an instant, hearing the sound of arrow feathers, the servants in the front and back fell to the ground one after another, and they were frightened. Looking behind them, they saw three or four hundred people pouring out from the front and back. Some of them looked like rangers. At that moment, the vendor pushed away the goods on Hu's table and pulled out a yellow crossbow from the bottom! !This frightened Zhou Yu, how rich am I, a big man?Hawkers have started selling yellow crossbows? ?

In less than a moment, the servants had all fallen down, and none of them could stand, and those people, after shooting and killing many servants, came to Liu Mastiff and bowed to Liu Mastiff: "The Embroidered Clothes Messenger Zhang Que pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, but his subordinates are late, and I hope His Highness will forgive me!!"

Liu Mastiff nodded, but his face was a little ugly. Zhou Yu quickly supported him and asked, "Your Highness? What's wrong???"

"I feel a little uncomfortable." Liu Mastiff said with difficulty.

Everyone was terrified, even the embroidered clothes envoys. Liu Bei didn't have time to pay attention to other things, and hurriedly sent Liu Mastiff to the East Palace.

On that day, the Son of Heaven was furious and ordered Zhang He, Luo Yang Ling, and even Zhi Jinwu to investigate the matter together.

In the end, Zhang He discovered that these servants were all sent by Shi Huangzu, the chief censor of the imperial censor, to assassinate the prince. On the same day, Zhang He rushed into Huang Zu's mansion with his men and arrested the pale-faced Huang Zu. When he came out, Huang Zu still wanted to argue that he was attacking Liu Bei, not the prince!But how can this be said clearly, apart from Huang Zu being arrested, four or five other ministers from Jingzhou families were also arrested and imprisoned.

The crime was colluding with Huang Zu, assassinating the prince, and wanting to do something wrong.

For a while, the voices against Liu Bei in Luoyang suddenly decreased a lot, and it was quiet, no one dared to speak out. In Taixue and Menzixue, students from Jingzhou families were beaten violently by other students. Almost seriously injured, many people were taken away by Luoyang Ling, but in the end, Sima Yi rushed to Luoyang Ling's mansion in person, borrowed all these scholars, and told them that the prince was fine, don't Do it again.

After Guan Yu sent the soldiers back to the school field, he hurriedly went to see Yuan Shu.

When he appeared in front of Yuan Shu, most of the joy in his heart had disappeared. After not seeing him for more than half a year, Guan Yu could no longer recognize Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was leaning on the soft pillow, smiling, holding his only son. Yuan Yao, however, he is really too thin, his whole body seems to have only a skeleton left. The former general who fought in the northwest and kept Liangzhou safe for 17 years has been reduced to a weak point today.

Guan Yu sat in front of Yuan Shu, frowning, unable to speak, and pursed his lips.

On Yuan Shu, it was the same as usual, except that his eyes were still so bright and energetic, and he could not see decadence. He still proudly showed his son to Guan Yu, and said a lot. After leaving, he chatted with Guan Yu about other things. He looked at Guan Yu in front of him and said seriously: "Changsheng. I know your talent. You are different from others. After a few years of hard work, I can completely take over Sun Jian's position."

"However, you are naturally arrogant, and you don't want to be entrusted with the powerful, but get close to the despicable. Therefore, if the emperor wants you to be a captain in the future, you should refuse. You are more suitable to be the commander of the guarding side, not suitable for this temple. Intrigue." Yuan Shu narrated, and before Guan Yu could open his mouth, he continued: "There is one more thing, longevity. Now that there are four government schools, and scientific achievements are flourishing. But the generals still haven't made much progress."

"I hope you will go up to the Son of Heaven and ask for the establishment of an academy, such as Taixue, Menzixue, where people like Sun Jian, Hua Xiong, and Lu Bu will serve as sacrificial wine and teach the art of war. Most of today's generals in the military are trained on the battlefield. He grew up through tempering, but now, the big man has no external enemies, and he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to be a general. But if there is a special school, to teach those young people who are determined to make achievements, let them know the art of war, and they can cultivate countless generals. .”

"In addition, students must be widely accepted. Those with excellent grades can serve as the Marquis of the Northern Army. Others can enter the Frontier Army, or even the Navy. The most important thing in the army is the commander. We still have to rely on the military lords, Sima, and even Qu Tunchang, and even these low-level generals. They can play an important role in the war!!"

"You must report this matter to the Son of Heaven, and tell the Son of Heaven that this is your own idea, don't blame me." Yuan Shu said, gradually getting weaker and gasping for breath.

Guan Yu looked at Yuan Shu and said, "Mr. Yuan, you know my nature. I only want to obtain meritorious service by myself, and I don't need others to give it to me."

Yuan Shu suddenly raised his head, raised his hand, pointed at Guan Yu in front of him, and scolded: "I am about to die, what use are these merits to me?? With your temperament, if I am not here, who would recommend you? ? Who will support you?! Do you want to be a captain for the rest of your life?!!"

Yuan Shu roared angrily, but coughed violently. He looked at Guan Yu coldly and said, "If you refuse to play or mention my name, I will die with regret, even if I die, I will never forgive you! !! If you want me to feel at ease, promise me"

Guan Yu clenched his fists, stood up, and said: "Lieutenant, you led me to fight out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood. Now, how can you say such words because of a mere illness? , I believe that the warrior who fought in all battles in the past will never be afraid of any disease, and he will definitely be cured."

"Hahaha, you are right, but you still have to promise me that this is a military order I issued. If you still regard me as your captain, then do it!!"

"Subordinates take orders!!!"

Yuan Shu looked much better now, nodded, and said: "If you set up a school to teach the art of war, don't forget to teach Confucian classics at the same time. If there are unfaithful people among these people, you and I will be sinners and have a long life." Yuan Shu He took out a book from under the desk, looking at the book in his hand, Yuan Shu's eyes were full of nostalgia, he read it quietly for a long time, and handed it to Guan Yu.

"This is "Gongyang Chunqiu Jiegu". My teacher left it to me. Today I will give you to read this book more and help me finish it."

"The captain, His Royal Highness, or his two heroes, or even Zhou Yu, are more suitable than me to treat this book."

"Hahaha, no, His Highness the Crown Prince must concentrate on state affairs. Zhuge Sima is even more busy assisting the Crown Prince. Zhou Yu is still immature." Yuan Shu said, handing the book to Guan Yu, his eyes reluctant to stay on the book In the book, it said: "If others want to borrow it, you just borrow it. The more people love to read it, the happier I am. Among all the people, I am not worried about most of them, but Hua Xiong is the only one."

"Help him more, he is straightforward, don't let him suffer."

"Honestly." Guan Yu bowed his body and lowered his head, preventing Yuan Shu from seeing his face.

Because there were still tears in his eyes.
