The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Looking at the present, on the surface, he is a representative of the various noble families, telling everyone to be careful, and he is on this side with a proper stand.But the question is who let Guang Luxun and Liu Kuan be among the guests at the banquet?

This old man is an upright Han family member, so he naturally wants to stand by Liu Hong's side.So Liu Tao came up with a strategy to blame Liu Kuan, the boss will pass away next year, so he probably wouldn't mind taking the blame.

"This..." The young man suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Haha..." Yuan Kai laughed suddenly, "I didn't expect so many reasons to be involved in a court meal. General Liu Zhonglang is really powerful."

"Actually, it's not that great. It's just that these are all created by me, so every time I eat this, I feel deeply touched." Liu Tao replied, buns, steamed buns and soy milk are good, and fried dough sticks are almost impossible to eat every day. A lot of oil to fry, very expensive!

"I see. Speaking of which, I have to thank General Liu Zhonglang, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food." Yuan Kai laughed.At this moment, he was somewhat surprised.

The production process and yeast flowed out of the palace, but it is unknown who invented it.Unexpectedly, in front of the creator, taking out these court food is quite suspected of cheating.

It's not surprising why Liu Tao can talk so much about these steamed buns.

It’s just that he is right. There have been some problems with the climate in recent years. Three years ago, many people thought it was over, but it lasted for another three years.Thinking about it carefully, the previous Situ Chen Dan was framed and imprisoned to death by the ten permanent attendants, using similar excuses.

Politics, in fact, there is no frame or not.The gentry framed the Shi Changshi, and the Shi Changshi framed the gentry. If you really want to count, in fact, no one is clean, it is nothing more than a factional struggle.

The main reason is that this year's Majesty has an out-of-the-box personality, messes around and doesn't follow the rules, and hurts himself a thousand and hurts the enemy eight hundred.No, Liu Tao, who is also in the clan, has been affected.

"We..." There will always be such a brain-dead person who will come forward to start a fight. I guess what he wants to say is nothing more than a scholar, or a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, who is not afraid of death in order to help the country...

In the end, he didn't say anything, so he gave the elder next to him a glare, shut up obediently, and his face was full of grievances.

Still the same sentence, for this level of literature meeting, few people who attend the meeting are simple.Liu Tao carefully tasted what they just said, and it seems that they have the world in their hearts, and how much they hate the ten permanent attendants.

But when it comes to improvement, or how to actually deal with it, there is actually no sentence that is useful...

"The court meal is over..." Yuan Wei was also worried about the silence, so he signaled, "Let's officially start the literary meeting!"

Chapter 208

The food was indeed finished, and the servants came over one after another, took away the plates, and replaced them with water, wine and melons and fruits.It's just that this water wine is not brewed by Jiuxian. It is indeed the treasure of wine lovers, but the alcohol content is too high.

After flavoring and cellaring, the taste of Jiuxian Niang has indeed left some wine lovers with endless aftertaste, but the problem now is Wenhui.If you get drunk after a few glasses of wine, can the literary meeting continue?

Therefore, Dukang wine was used, with a degree between 10° and 15°, which was regarded as a medium-to-high level at that time.If so, this Dukang wine seems to be still a dirty wine.

Either wait until Cao Cao improves it, or improve it yourself, otherwise you want it to be clear, and some will wait.

Liu Tao secretly thought, what's wrong with liking food, the number one gourmet in the Three Kingdoms is Cao Cao - he has improved the brewing process of Dukang wine, passed down several kinds of sauce making techniques, and is a proper foodie.

Yuan Kai took the lead, and the rest was basically the time for young people to recite poems and compose Fu, and show off their talents.Liu Tao keenly noticed that in the courtyard not far away, the female relatives were playing there, and the movement here should be transmitted to the other side.

It just feels so strange, as if twenty white horses are performing inside, and a dozen rich women are judging outside... After thinking about it, it really feels like seeing those who are desperately showing off their talents.

"I heard that Liu Zhonglang has also studied under Master Lu for several years. What kind of talents do you know?" Sure enough, the critic came out, "Gentleman's six arts, I don't know what Liu Zhonglang is good at?"

"Liu Zhonglang was awarded for his military exploits, so he is naturally good at archery." Huangfu Li said, he is Huangfusong's nephew and a rising star of the younger generation.Perhaps it was because of the friendship between Lu Zhi and Huangfusong that they came forward to help.

The six arts of a gentleman - ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics. In fact, Liu Tao is not very good at rituals, archery, and imperialism.On the battlefield, most of them are commanded from the town, and at most go into battle under the protection of personal guards. It is rare for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to enter the enemy's line.

"Actually, I also have a little research on music, books, and numbers." In this case, of course, he wanted to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, so Liu Tao pushed Zhang Fei out, "But when it comes to paintings, they are far inferior to my brother-in-law. .”

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard that Liu Tao knows the six arts of a gentleman. Everyone is not surprised, but Zhang Fei next to him is a rough guy no matter how he looks at it. Painting is so high-end, or he is good at things that pay attention to carefulness?

"Haha, it seems that everyone still doesn't believe it?" Liu Tao laughed when he saw this, "Yide, didn't I ask you to bring the latest painting? Let everyone taste it!"

Zhang Fei suddenly realized, no wonder Liu Tao asked him to choose one or two new works to bring here before he came out, so it was for this time.

"Brother, my hand-made graffiti is really hard to be elegant..." Zhang Fei said modestly, no matter how good the drawing is, he still has to say that now.

After all, if someone more powerful comes out, then I have said this before, so I won't lose face.But if not, then you can slap people in the face openly. Since you are making money, why not do that?

Danqing paintings, there will naturally be a lot of essays, and talented scribes will also share their painting skills.In other words, in fact, there are quite a few enthusiasts in this field.

Many people who have free time like painting, which kills time. In the era without games, this is the best way to have fun.The better the work, the more time it takes.

Of course, the guest of honor must not have this time. There are so many official duties, how can it be possible to have leisure time to paint slowly?At most, practicing a word or something is already very difficult.

But no one has ever been young, and he has participated in many literary meetings.Even if you are not good at painting, you still have the ability to appreciate paintings.

Zhang Fei slowly unfolded the painting, and as expected, there were two pictures of ladies.One was done at Guangzong's side in idle time, because of the atmosphere at that time, the drawn ladies had a bit more heroic temperament.

So Liu Tao suggested at the time that it could be painted as a woman in military uniform, disguised as a man, and serving in the army instead of her father as the background.He even thought maliciously whether this painting would become the prototype of "Mulan" if it was passed on—he only proposed it because of this at first.

"Is this a woman? But why is she dressed in military uniform?" When the painting was opened, it really shocked many people.

The woman in the painting lacks the beauty and charm of a woman, but has a bit more heroism and fighting spirit, and even has the vicissitudes of a long battle on the battlefield.It's obviously just a painting, and the woman in the painting is not very beautiful, but the first time I see it, it makes people feel pity.

"There are twelve volumes in the military book, and the scrolls have the name of the master. My grandfather has no elder son, and Mulan has no elder brother. I would like to be a saddle horse in the market, and I will be recruited for my grandfather from now on." Liu Tao saw that everyone was puzzled, so he simply read this sentence out .

"Could it be that this woman is a real person?" Everyone was surprised that she actually joined the army instead of her father.

"The rumors are unbelievable... just listen to them for fun." Liu Tao shook his head.

"What Liu Zhonglang read just now should be Yuefu poems, but why, never heard of it before?" Huang Fuli seemed to realize something, so he looked at Liu Tao excitedly.

"I also heard this rumor by chance, so I feel a little bit. Although I am a martial arts official, I am a Confucian child. A gentleman's six arts, not to mention being proficient in all of them, at least have to be good at it." Liu Tao said with emotion.

"Then, is there a full text of this poem?" It is inevitable that some people are curious about this poem, after all, the artistic conception is very good.

"Since everyone is interested, I'll make a fool of myself..." Seeing everyone's blazing eyes, Liu Tao had no choice but to memorize "The Song of Mulan". Of course, some places had to be changed.

Seeing that the military posts can be kept, Khan has to change them, otherwise something big will happen.Liu Tao remembered that later, others thought about it, saying that the Khan and the later emperor should not be the same person. The Khan was the leader of Mulan's living area, and the emperor was the ruler of this regime.

When the emperor wants to fight, the local leaders will enlist the local clansmen, or the Han people will go to war, and every household will send out people, so Hua Mulan's family was ordered.After all, the period she lived in was the North during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the political power itself was relatively chaotic.

Therefore, it may be better to change Khan into a county guard.Prefects were set up in each county, with the help of captains in charge of recruitment, training, assessment and review, maintenance of law and order, leading troops to expeditions, and the manufacture and management of weapons and equipment.

According to the military service in the Han Dynasty, common people started military service at the age of 23 and retired at the age of 56.Hua Mulan's father may be in the military service stage, so it is normal to be named.

"I didn't expect Liu Zhonglang's poetic talent to be equally amazing." Yuan Kai came out to praise him.

"At home, I didn't know the hardships of joining the army. After half a year in the army, I just felt a lot of emotion." Liu Tao said modestly.Became a civil servant again, if possible, he really didn't want to go too far on this road, after all, this thing is getting narrower and narrower.

I don't really mean to delve into it, so I can avoid it in the future.Otherwise, "Jianglang's talent is exhausted", it will only make a joke.

"Military training is indeed very good..." Zhu Jun laughed, and he said this sentence really convincingly.Known as a petty official, but rose to prominence in battle, in terms of standpoint, he felt that Liu Tao was very similar to himself, so he liked him more.

Chapter 209 I am Gongyang Confucianism

Soon everyone's eyes shifted from "Mulan Ci" to Zhang Fei's painting.The heroic spirit and vicissitudes of the woman in military uniform reminded me of the description of "a strong man returns after ten years" in "Mulan Ci", which is quite charming.

"When did brother make it?" Compared with the painting, Guan Yu was more curious about when Liu Tao made "The Song of Mulan".After all, they have never heard of similar rumors along the way.

"I'm afraid it's because I saw this picture of a lady that I felt it?" Lu Yan saw so many people around, so he could only perfunctory.
