Crush the Three Kingdoms with Cards

Chapter 114 Making tea and setting up an army
Thousands of rivers have water, thousands of rivers and moons, thousands of miles of cloudless sky.Emperor Han Ling waved his sleeves and said loudly: "Everything is over, if you have nothing else to do with your family, let's disperse today!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the ministers said in unison.

Since the establishment of the feudal country, when the emperors of each dynasty dispersed, the officials would shout: "Long live, long live, long live."Emperor Han Ling naturally had this rule at the moment.It's just that the high-pitched voice in the past is far inferior to the high-pitched voice today.If you ask why?It is estimated that only Han Lingdi knew best: "There is something called cohesion in this voice today."

All the ministers shouted, fell to the ground, let Emperor Han Ling leave first, and walked out of the gate for a long time before they could get up, and then came out in order according to their official positions.

"Humph!"

Yuan Feng, Yuan Kui, and Lin Yi walked side by side. The moment Yuan Feng went out, he snorted coldly, glared at Lin Yi, and flung his sleeves away.

"Congratulations, my lord, oh, no, congratulations to Lord Marquis of the Southern Han Dynasty for receiving a generous gift from His Majesty!"

There are loyal ministers and treacherous ministers in the court, and there are upright officials, so naturally there are also corrupt officials.In short, Yuan Feng's faction is very strong, but there are also some officials who remain neutral, maybe they are honest officials, or they may be corrupt officials.No, a middle-aged official with a big belly ran to Lin Yi with a grin, and bowed to congratulate him.

"My lord, you are welcome. I don't know how to address him?" Although Lin Yi is very powerful now, his main forces are still in Yizhou and Liangzhou, and his control over the capital is relatively weak.He needs someone who can help him improve his grip in Kyoto.

"Young official Ni Haojie, whose name is Juncai, is currently serving as the Sima of Changshui in Beijing." Ni Haojie said with a smile: "A few days ago, the lower official got a bottle of century-old wine, and there is no one to drink it, and I am afraid that the wine will be ruined. Marquis, I wonder if you could do me a favor and go to Xiaguan's humble house for a sip of wine?"

During the Han Dynasty, Kyoto had a standing army.The standing army is composed of the central army and the local army (county soldiers).In the central army, there is a garrison of the capital under the command of the school lieutenant of the city gate, who is currently serving as the class administrator with a somewhat poisonous demeanor.There is also the Northern Army under the leadership of the Marquis, who has five arms under its jurisdiction, namely Tunqi (cavalry) troop, Yueqi (special forces) troop, infantry troop, Changshui (water army) troop, and Shesheng (bow and arrow) troop.The chief is the school lieutenant, and the deputy is Sima.The total number of the army is less than 5000.

Although this seems like a small number of people, they are all elite soldiers selected from all over the country, a master of ten!However, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was stupid for a lifetime, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was also stupid for most of his life. It is really hard to say whether the guards in the capital have been mixed with water.

Lin Yi looked at the person in front of him, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Ni Sima warmly invited me, how can I refuse? I also ask Ni Sima to lead the way."

"Hahaha! Master Hou is really lucky to be able to enter the humble house of an official. Lord Hou, please get in the car." Changshui Sima Ni Haojie smiled and cupped his hands, then waved to his servant and summoned a car Car, let Lin Yi sit in it.

"If that's the case, the Marquis will be disrespectful." Lin Yi stepped up and got into the car directly.

"Squeaky~squeaky~" Lin Yi'an sat on the human treasure car steadily, away from the palace.

The officials who didn't want to be loyal to Emperor Han Ling got into the car with Lin Yi, and the Emperor Han Ling had just returned to the palace and asked someone to quietly call Yuan Shao in, and waved back the left and right, eunuch and maidservant.In this huge palace, it is all right now, only Hanling Emperor Liu Hong and Yuan Shao are there.

"Gollum~ Gollum~"

The two sat opposite each other, and Emperor Ling made tea himself.

"Well, it smells good." Han Lingdi brewed a cup of tea, smelled it, and handed it to Yuan Shao who was secretly shocked: "At the beginning, my level of tea making is not to say that it is the best in the world. The big man is now the number one. Still humble. Come! Benchu, try it!"

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty, for the tea!"

Yuan Shao's heart trembled, and he quickly took the teacup handed over by Emperor Hanling, took a sip carefully, and said in surprise, "Eh~ it really is the best tea! Could it be that His Majesty's unique tea-making technique created this taste? A unique taste?" Although Yuan Shao is a bastard, he is also the eldest son of the Yuan family. He has learned all the six arts since he was a child, not to mention how many times he brewed the tea himself, but just tasted it!
"Your Majesty has such high taste, so his virtue is not bad, why did he do that before?" Yuan Shao was puzzled, but he dared not speak out.

Hey!See what Yuan Shao is thinking? ——If the taste is high, the virtues will not be bad?What kind of logical thinking is this?If it is placed in modern times, it is estimated that it will be scolded to death.But this logical thinking is very normal in ancient times, especially in ancient dynasties that followed Confucianism.

——Good taste means good moral conduct, good quality, and a gentleman; if a gentleman is a gentleman, then he is a decent person, a decent person, and what he does is right.Because Confucianism is to maintain the rituals of Zhou.And the rituals of Zhou are hierarchical.As for the gentleman and the villain, it was stipulated in accordance with the patriarchal system of the Zhou Dynasty.For example: the eldest son of the emperor is a gentleman, and the other sons are villains.The first son born to your father's main wife is a gentleman, and the second sons of the other main wives, and the sons of the side wives are mostly villains.It was originally stipulated in this way.The eldest son will inherit the father's business, so their high status naturally means high taste.So later, gradually derived. ——If you have high taste, you are a gentleman.

And how to judge a person's good taste in ancient times?The most important thing is the six arts of a gentleman!That is the so-called: "One is called five rituals, the other is called six music, the third is called five shooting, the fourth is called five controls, the fifth is called six books, and the sixth is called nine numbers." , five types of archery, five driving styles, six types of Chinese character composition and use, and nine details of the homework of "numbering".

Of course, this is the basis for the initial judgment.Later, such as painting, making tea, etc. are also regarded as elegant things.In this way, these elegant things have also become one of the basis for judging whether a person is a gentleman.

"At the beginning, I wanted to set up an eighth school lieutenant in Xiyuan. I would select brave soldiers for me to guard the capital." Han Lingdi had deep eyes, took a sip of tea, and said, "However, although the world is big, only talents can win it. At the beginning, I want to appoint you as Huben Zhonglang General and also as one of the eight captains of Xiyuan. You are willing to serve me wholeheartedly."

"The minister is willing!"

unwilling?Is it stupid?How could Yuan Shao be unwilling to be promoted to a higher position?He nodded hastily, got up and got off the tatami, um, let's call the cushion a tatami.Yuan Shao got off the tatami, kneeled down happily and said, "I will devote myself to His Majesty, and I will die!"

"At the beginning, what I want is for you to serve me wholeheartedly, even if you are standing against the Yuan family." Liu Hong stared at Yuan Shao with deep eyes.

……

Yuan Shao heard the words, and the two thoughts of "family world" and "emperor world" were constantly fighting in his mind.After a long time, Yuan Shao sighed, and said with a firm expression: "My minister, Yuan Benchu, is willing to serve His Majesty wholeheartedly!"
