I studied in modern times

Chapter 178
In June of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Bingyin (the fourth day of the junior high school).

Miao Shou holds Chaohu and stands in front of Yanhe Hall.

"Commander Miao..." Hemen Tongshi Sheren said softly in front of him, "Please follow me..."

Miao Shou nodded, holding the Chaohu, followed the other party, step by step, and entered the Yanhe Hall, which is commonly known as the "Inverted Zuo Hall".

After entering the hall, Miao Shou saw the figure of the small official sitting in the hall.

He hurriedly bowed his head with fluoren - he is a military official, and he is not comparable to civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats in front of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, the Observation Envoy of Rongzhou and the Deputy Commander of the Mabu Army, I respectfully greet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor!"

In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, he had already been promoted to be a full-time defense envoy, and he was promoted to be an observation envoy last year.

He is already the best among the military officials of the Great Song Dynasty—the military official with a higher status than him, now only the commander-in-chief Yan Da is left!
Other generals such as Yao Si, Yao Lin, Zhong E, Liu Changzuo, Wang Guangzu and other generals are all under him!
He is an official!
There were only three or five military officials in the past dynasties who could worship Zheng Ren!
"Miao Qing is flat!" From the throne, the immature voice of a small official came: "Come here, give Miao Qing a seat... and tea!"

Professor Miao hurriedly paid thanks again: "Your Majesty Long En, I am so grateful!"

Don't look at Miao Shou as a general, but in fact he has the Confucian atmosphere of a scholar-bureaucrat.

Although he was well-built and strong, he was well-groomed and his beard was well groomed.

There are no scars or knife marks on his face. Although his skin is slightly dark, he doesn't look rough. Instead, he has a calm, humble and polite temperament.

Seeing it in the curtain, the two palaces also gave a sigh of admiration.

"True Confucianism and handsome!" Xiang Queen Mother praised in a low voice.

The Empress Dowager also nodded: "It is said that Miao Shushu is handsome, I saw you today, and it is true!"

Zhao Xu took the confession in hand, echoed the compliments of the two palaces, and said with a light smile: "Mother, Empress, I think Miao Qing's confession is a disciple of Mr. Hu Gong, the late Confucianist of the State Dynasty, Mr. Anding!"

Miao Shou in the hall quickly bowed and said: "I dare not be the sage of the two palaces, the praise of His Majesty the Emperor... I just follow the teachings of my predecessor, Mr. Anding..."

However, Zhao Xu said softly to the two palaces: "Mother, Empress, I still remember that Emperor Father said to me in Japan: Mr. An Ding, the only lecturer in the world, can be the ancestor of Confucius and Mencius!"

"I saw Miao Qing today, and I know what I said is true! No great Confucian can't teach such a handsome Confucian!"

The so-called 'Confucius and Mencius' is indeed the praise of Zhao Xu's father!

Moreover, it was written directly on the Shinto stele of the late Mr. Anding Hu Yuan with an imperial pen inscription: The way of the master, the ancestor of Confucius and Mencius!

It's just that more than ten years have passed since this matter, and people in the world have almost forgotten it, or it has been deliberately forgotten.

Now, Zhao Xu activates the soul chasing skill of Netherland.

Bring Mr. Anding's evaluation of "Confucianism and Mencius" back into the eyes of the ruling and opposition parties.

This is naturally because Zhao Xu knows that this is a trump card!
It is also a step forward, a sharp weapon to stir up the muddy waters of the Song Dynasty literary world!
Just like Zhang Zai!
In this literary world, the dead are always more useful than the living!
After all, the dead will not object, let alone come out to argue!

Professor Miao, however, was already very grateful. He took a deep breath and bowed again: "Emperor Daxing praises His Majesty the Emperor's praise, and I will thank you on behalf of my ancestors!"

For Miao Shou, Hu Yuan, Mr. Anding, really exists like a reborn parent.

Without Hu Yuan, Miao Shou knew very well that he would never have achieved his current achievements and status.

Among the great Confucianists in the world, before Hu Yuan, no one was willing to accept the children of military officials, especially the sons of low-level military officials, let alone teach them carefully.

After Hu Yuan, the style of lecturing in Kansai became more and more prosperous.

Only then did the Hengqu School appear!

The two palaces inside the curtain, seeing Miao Shou in the palace grateful and respectful, also nodded in approval.

For them, a general with great military exploits is worthy of vigilance.

But a general who has a Confucian temperament, speaks politely, and speaks well like a scholar-bureaucrat, should be more at ease.

After all, scholar-bureaucrats and the Song Dynasty are bound together.

The emperor is certainly the master of the world.

But this world is not just for the emperor alone.

It still belongs to the scholar-bureaucrats!
On this point, there has long been a consensus in the palace and the court.

As a result, I had a good impression of Miao Shou. It was just a courtesy, but I couldn't help asking more questions.

These problems are all related to Xihe Road.

Miao Shou was shot and killed from Xihe Road.

He answered the questions of the two palaces fluently, and the two palaces were very satisfied.

Even after Miao Shou left, the Empress Dowager sighed: "It's a pity!"

"If Miaoshou has a Jinshi background, who else is handsome at Xihe River this time?"

Queen Mother Xiang shook her head: "Your Majesty, Miao Shou is a candidate for the Commander..."

"Even if he has a Jinshi background, he can't be appointed as a border commander!"

Miao Shou is already a full-time official, only one step away from Jiedushi.

Letting him go back to Xihe, wouldn't it mean that he was going to be a military official with a heavy army in his hand?
Neither palace dared to take this risk!

It should be noted that this is not the beginning of the country.

Not everyone can control a full-time Jiedushi with heavy troops in the frontier.

Zhao Xu kept silent beside him.

Today, he gained a lot!

I met Miao Shou and established a preliminary contact with Miao Shou.

With this connection, after Yan Da retires in the future, the commander-in-chief will still belong to him.

The Forbidden Army in Bianjing, especially the Fourth Army and Yulong Zhuzhi, still obeyed his orders.

……

Miao Shou walked out of the east gate of Da Nei and let out a soft breath.

His son Miao Lu came up to meet him, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, why did your Majesty take so long to see you today?"

This is just a ceremonial view.

It is customary to worship twice in front of the hall, report the name taboo, and the two palaces will come out after a few casual questions.

But Miao Shou stayed in the palace for almost an hour!
Unreasonable!

Miao Shou said softly: "Your Majesty spoke highly of Mr. Hu, the former teacher, and there are many praises... The Merciful Sages of the Two Palaces became more favored because of this, and asked more questions..."

Miao Lu was overjoyed immediately, and said: "In this way, even if your lord is Jane in the emperor's heart, you will be valued by the two palaces!"

"It will be of great use in the future!"

Although their father and son are military officials, they have been paying attention to the young master.

For Wu Chen, the turmoil in the court has nothing to do with them.

The struggle between the old and the new parties will not affect the military officials no matter what.

But there is one thing, but it is the foundation of a military official's life-the trust of the emperor!

Because, strictly speaking, military officials were all personal retainers of the emperor before they were worshiped as official officials.

This can be known from the official rank of the military minister.

Small envoys, big envoys, chief and deputy envoys of various divisions, rampant five ranks...

All are official positions closely related to the royal family.

Therefore, for the military officials, getting the emperor's favor and love is the first motivation for them to do things!

Not to mention that young master, he is not acting like a child now.

Even if he is really just a child, Wu Chen has to behave in front of him!
reason?

When the family grows up, one sentence can determine the prosperity and decline of a family of military officials!

Miao Shou's thoughts were not at all on what Miao Lu said must be of great use.

He is already the deputy commander of the Mabu Army.

If you go up again, where else can you go?

He looked at Miao Lu and said, "The old man wants to let you go back to Xihe..."

"Today, in front of the imperial court, the young master's mention of his predecessor, Hu Yuan, is by no means aimless..."

"There must be a big battle in Xihe!" Miao Shou whispered: "There will definitely be!"

This is intuition!

An intuition honed by a veteran on the battlefield.

A keen sense of danger and opportunity.

How many times Miao Shou relied on this intuition to decisively march or withdraw his troops, so that his subordinates could find the weaknesses and weaknesses of the Western bandits and Tubo again and again, or escape from the bandits' ambush.

Miao Lu listened and was eager to try.

He wanted to go back to the front line a long time ago!
In Bianjing, he could only do research, but on the edge, there are military achievements everywhere!
"In a few days, I will ask for grace for my father's association and the two palaces, and beg you to be released to Dingxi City or be a general and deputy general of Xihe..."

Miao Lu bowed and said, "My son, I would like to follow your lord's arrangement!"

"Remember, if you can make the trip..." Miao Shouyu earnestly enjoined: "When your majesty speaks, remember to remember that the emperor will bow before you!"

This is for Miao Lu to express his position - our Miao family will always be your loyal servants of the official family, we will do whatever you ask us to do!
This is the long-term way of Wuchen!

Wuchen must not sing against the emperor!
