Chapter 513 Passing on the Heavenly Book Again
The next day, Liu Mastiff went to Situ's mansion in person.

Although Liu Mastiff has been making friends extensively over the years and has many friends, he seldom communicates with the ministers of the current court, and he never visits officials like him, let alone Lu Zhi. However, when he learned that Liu Mastiff had When he came, Lu Zhi was still very happy. He valued the prince very much. He believed that the most prosperous moment of the big man would definitely be created by the prince.

Of course, he always kept these words in his heart and never spoke to outsiders. He didn't want to bring disaster to the prince. In the court, there were not a few ministers who thought like him. They are all excellent, he is kind, caring for the common people, he is intelligent, he has read poetry and books at a young age, he is gentle, courteous and corporal, and treats others with courtesy.

The most important thing is that he is close to the aristocratic family. He is different from Emperor Xiaokang today. He has a very good relationship with the aristocratic family. Perhaps it is because he has been under Yuan Shu's school since he was a child. The relationship between these aristocratic families is very close. Such an emperor is really rare. Starting from Emperor Xiaohuan, every generation of emperors has begun to suppress the aristocratic families.

Emperor Xiaohuan adopted the party ban, a method of angering the world and ruining his reputation, to forcefully expel the party forces in the court. In the period of Emperor Xiaokang, Emperor Xiaokang adopted gentle means to increase farmland and open up poor families. Official career, suppressing the big clan in a disguised form, and today, alas, the violent emperor wields a big sword, trying to fundamentally cut off the way for the big clan to grow.

At such a time, it is really rare to meet a prince who is friendly with the aristocratic family.

However, this point also aroused the hostility of many officials in the court, including the new faction headed by Cao Cao. They said they were new factions, but in fact, most of them were composed of poor families. , from a poor family, Guo Jia is still the same, and Liu Bei, although he has the identity of the clan, but his family is poor, so it is undoubtedly from a poor family.

On Lu Zhi's side, Yuan Shao, Xun Yu, Zhao Wen
Lu Zhi sent his only son to meet him. He originally had three sons, the first two of which died of illness, and only the youngest son was by his side. Now he is in his prime, but he has not become an official. He is still in Lu Zhi's mansion. After entering the school, Liu Mastiff only waited at the door for a moment, then saw a young scholar come out, bowed to Liu Mastiff, and said, "I greet His Royal Highness, the eldest son."

Liu Mastiff quickly returned the salute and asked his name.

"I'm under Lu Yu, Zizi's family, just call me Biaozi, Your Highness."

"Haha, judging by the appearance of Zi's family, he must be the son of Duke Situ!"

Lu Yu smiled, and led Liu Mastiff into the mansion. Although Lu Zhi is an expensive Situ, his mansion is still very simple. Most of the ministers in the Jianning period were like this, but Liu Mastiff still praised him in a low voice. After a few words, there are not many servants in the mansion, only two or three elders. Lu Yu took him into the study and wanted to leave, but Lu Zhi stopped him.

"Meet Mr. Situ!"

"Your Highness, there is no need to be too polite. I am really happy that Your Highness can come. Come, Your Highness, please sit down!" Lu Zhi is old, but he is still very capable. He served in the army, so he has the ability of a general, even if he later became a prefect, Situ, he is like this, with a straight back, a solemn expression, and a killing spirit on his body.

From Liu Mastiff's point of view, Situ Gong seems to be the former captain of Shesheng, and the years have not changed him. The heroic laughter is not at all like the three princes in the court, but more like commanding the army outside the Great Wall. He looked at Liu Mastiff in front of him, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he asked directly: "Your Highness must have something important to come here!"

Liu Mastiff simply said it directly, conveyed what Liu Bei said to Lu Zhi, and said seriously: "This matter is really important and beneficial", and he told Lu Zhi what Sima Yi said, but he will This idea turned out to be Zhuge Liang's idea. Of course, it was to protect Sima Yi. Although Sima Yi's family was powerful, he was still inferior to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang, he had his aunt to back him up!
Even if there are dissatisfied people in the court, it is not so easy to take action against Zhuge Liang.

Lu Zhi listened carefully, and said with a smile: "Xuande has done a good job, His Highness can tell His Majesty, why come to me?"

"I'm afraid in my heart that all the officials in the court are in trouble because of the new policy, and Mr. Liu supports the new policy. I'm really afraid that such a favorable policy will die prematurely because of the opposition of the ministers in the court. Situ Mr. Liu is the head of all officials and a great Confucian with the world in mind, Mr. Liu is also a disciple of Mr. Situ, so I came to look for Mr. Situ just to hope that Mr. Situ can help in this matter!"

As Liu Mastiff spoke, Lu Zhi laughed and said, "At this moment, Xuande realizes that I am his master?"

"Looking for Mr. Situ to help me is what I think. Mr. Liu doesn't know about it."

"Oh, Xuande, you come to see me on weekdays, but you never mention political affairs, and you don't want to ask me for help." Lu Zhi said, looking at Liu Mastiff, and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Even if other people don’t want to do this good deed, I will definitely do it. In addition, you have to report to the Son of Heaven in person. No matter what you do, don’t hide it from the Son of Heaven. You must tell him everything, no matter how big or small.”

"Please!"

"Also." Lu Zhi pointed to Lu Yu in the distance, and said: "This is my only son who is incompetent. Although he is incompetent, he has read a lot of books." Your Highness, let's go!"

After chatting for a long time, Liu Mastiff walked out of Situ's mansion and walked directly towards the palace.

When the guards saw Liu Mastiff, they didn't stop him, and let him in immediately. Liu Mastiff came outside Houde Hall. Han Men was standing in front of the hall. When he saw Liu Mastiff coming, he smiled and walked over. After saying hello to Liu Mastiff, he There was another big obeisance, and he said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, Your Highness, my nephew, if it wasn't for His Highness's help, he wouldn't be able to enter the sect school!"

"You don't have to thank me, Mr. Han's nephew, he is very talented."

A few days ago, the Han family had approached Liu Mastiff and asked him for something. He had a nephew named Han Yin who was good at studying and wanted to study in a school, but because of the Han family, he could not enter. Minister They still hate their eunuch's close relatives, Liu Mastiff learned that, he arranged for Han Yin to participate in the official school assessment, let him enter the door school, and continue to study.

Liu Mastiff smiled and said, "Mr. Han, is father in the hall?"

"It's been a while, I haven't seen Father. I'm going to visit His Majesty, and tell him everything I've done these days." Liu Mastiff looked at Hanmen, Hanmen was taken aback, and quickly realized, Said: "The country is in the palace, and the servants will go and report!" Liu Mastiff waited for a while, and Hanmen came out to let Liu Mastiff in.

Liu Mastiff walked into Houde Hall, the emperor was sitting in front of the desk, he didn't know what he was looking at, he waved his hand without looking up, let Liu Mastiff sit in front of him, and continued to read, Liu Mastiff waited for a long time, Only then did the emperor raise his head, looked at Liu Mastiff, threw some memorials on the case on the ground, rubbed his forehead again, and cursed: "These idiots are starting to persuade me to withdraw my troops again."

Liu Mastiff lowered his head and said nothing.

"Why are you here? Why, you want to be a lobbyist for them and let me withdraw the army?"

"Father, my son dare not."

The emperor snorted twice, but said nothing.

"I have something important to tell my father." Liu Mastiff said, and told the emperor what Liu Bei came to him, Sima Yi, Lu Zhi and others. He was extremely serious, and after listening to him, the Son of Heaven still had some hesitation on his face, and he asked, "Why did you come to tell me these things?"

"Mr. Situ asked me to tell my father that I shouldn't hide anything from my father!"

"Oh? Hahaha!" Hearing this, the Son of Heaven suddenly laughed, and he didn't know why he was so young. He shook his head, looked at Liu Mastiff in front of him, and asked, "You are honest, and you betrayed Master Situ like this! When Situ learned that, he would never order his son to associate with you again." He said, and then asked: "Then do you have anything else to hide from me?"

The emperor took out a glass of wine from under the case, took a sip, and asked casually.

"Have."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Earlier, my uncle said that I am suitable to be the emperor, and asked me to go to Taixue to attract students."

"Pfft!!" The Son of Heaven spit out the wine in one gulp, and burst out laughing, almost dying of laughter. Liu Mastiff was a little flustered, and quickly asked, "Father, are you alright?"

The fat man smiled, stood up helplessly, stretched out his hand, pulled Liu Mastiff up, and said, "Come on, follow me to Qiongyuan for a walk." Liu Mastiff didn't dare to refuse, the fat man was not in a hurry He walked out and took a random book from the desk. The book was completely dark, and Liu Mastiff had never seen it before. The fat man led him out of the Hall of Houde.

"Mastiff, how long has it been since you and I left like this?"

"My son doesn't remember."

"I haven't taken you for a walk since you were five years old." The big fat man said with nostalgia, and a smile appeared on his face. Liu Mastiff followed behind him, his face a little dazed.

"Mastiff, have you hated me all these years?"

"Don't hate."

"to be frank."

"Don't hate."

The big fat man didn't open his mouth, he walked up in this Qiongyuan, looked at the surrounding scenery, he was stunned for a long time, he didn't know what he was recalling, he said: "Mastiff, when I was young, you, yeah He always brought me here to play. Later, when I grew up, you never brought me here again. He was very strict with me, either beating or scolding."

"He was very gentle to your second uncle and third uncle. He never reprimanded them until they were nearly ten years old. I am the only one who is different. I have received countless reprimands every day. I used to think that Father would He hates me, but he likes Erlang, Sanlang, little sister, when He Yeye left, I cried very sadly, I think, in this world, no one will love me like that again."

The big fat man laughed, his eyes twinkled, and he said: "Until I succeeded to the throne and you passed away, I thought he hated me and hated me. Until I had you, I couldn't tell, How does it feel to hold the newborn you in my arms? On that day, I was so happy, even happier than the day I became the throne. I have never been so happy in my life. I just started to think, Father Were you also so happy when you hugged me back then?"

"Later, as you grew up, I kept telling myself that I should love you well, favor you, and prevent you from becoming me when I was young."

"However, you have to know that you are the eldest son of me, you are the heir of the great man, you must be very good, suppress those demons and monsters, and protect thousands of people in the whole country, the more demanding I am of you, the more angry I will be. You must be reprimanded and scolded all the time, to make you better, to keep motivating you, to make you grow up, to make you better.”

The fat man grinned, with tears in the corners of his eyes, "I now understand Father, he doesn't hate me, he loves me the most."

"Mastiff, come here."

Liu Mastiff walked to the side of the big fat man. At some point, his eyes were full of tears. The big fat man put the book in his hand, and he said with a smile: "Mastiff, this book is You passed it on to me, I never showed it to anyone, I want to give this book to you, you should study hard, don’t let me down”

"Father." Liu Mastiff was speechless, stretched out his hand, and hugged the big fat man. He cried loudly, hugged the big fat man tightly, buried his head on the big fat man, the big fat man stretched out his hand, gently Caressing his back, said in a low voice: "Just do what you want, I will not stop you, there are too many thorns in this world, and I will hand them over to you after I pull out these thorns. "

"Don't let anyone read this book, not even your mother, nor your future child. If one day, you feel that your child is mature enough to entrust important tasks, then call him to the Come here and pass on the book!"
