When I was a child, I loved looking at the stars.But I do not have as many ways to watch the stars as you.I don't know anything about celestial phenomena.I only know that it is man-made.Lao Tzu said: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are regarded as straw dogs.Heaven and earth are not emotional, and treat all things equally.Regardless of prosperous or troubled times, the light of the stars and the moon always shines on the earth.Then the matter of governing the world can only be done by people. "

Ma Liang smiled: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. I don't believe in the destiny."

"Hey, the same is true for Kong Ming and Xiao Zhi. Yun Chang Yide doesn't believe in this even more. We are really a bunch of madmen. We insist on benevolence and righteousness and help the Han family in this chaotic world... Maybe it seems ridiculous to many people, but The happiest thing in my life is to have you do crazy things with me."

"It's a good fortune to meet Your Majesty, and to spend a lifetime with His Majesty in a carefree and insane life." Ma Liang chuckled, "But the sage Li Er said again: A sage is not benevolent, and treats the common people like dogs. What does Your Majesty say?"

"Ah... this saint, I probably can't do it." Liu Bei laughed.Looking at the stars in the sky, he suddenly sang a song: "Meng Dong's cold air is coming, and the north wind is so miserable. If you are more worried, you will know that the night is long, and you will look up at the audience. The moon is full in three or five days, and the toads and rabbits are missing in four or five..." He sang and sang , said softly: "Speaking of this saint, I feel that my prime minister is the saint."

"Oh? Senior brother?"

"Don't you think Ji Chang? You have known him longer than me, so you don't have such thoughts?"

"...Brother Zun has always loved Liang very much. He is not impartial and selfless like a saint. Liang feels that Brother Zun is also an ordinary person."

Liu Bei sighed: "How can Kong Ming be ruthless. But, I understand that although he values ​​love and righteousness, just like me, he will never be mistaken for love and act on emotion. He mostly restrains himself and strictly disciplines himself. On the road of being a saint, he is more sober than I. He knows that the true morality is the Dagong, and the Dagong has no distinction between relatives and friends, and no distinction between things and self. Do not move."

"Huainanzi said: It is not easy to weigh the rules. Don't turn against Qin and Chu, don't change your appearance because of Hu and Yue. One day's law will be passed on forever." Liu Bei said: "Kongming attaches great importance to the law. He told me For the sake of beneficence, give alms. If there is no merit but great rewards, if there is no labor but high honors, then those who keep their duties will be slack in the officials, while those who live here will be eager to advance. This is the disadvantage of Liu Jiyu when he was in power. Therefore, Governance should be based on great virtues, not small favors."

"So, when I can't see him, I just look at the stars and talk about my thoughts. The light of the stars and the moon is extremely bright, impartial, and shines on the earth...just like my Kong Ming."

"Your Majesty, I miss the Prime Minister." Ma Liang said with a smile, "It's only been one autumn..."

"Oh, he picks Gexi. If you don't see him for a day, it's like March. He picks Xiao. If you don't see him for a day, it's like three autumns. He is my Xiao He. If you don't see him for a day, it's like three autumns. How long is that autumn? year?" Liu Bei laughed.

Ma Liang said with a smile: "When the minister goes to Wuling, your Majesty should not miss you."

"How can I not miss you..." Liu Bei laughed and said, "I've made up my mind. At least you have to bring 1 people to Wuling. I won't worry about you here day and night..."

Ma Liang smiled: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, go to sleep... Otherwise, Liang will get up and play a requiem for Your Majesty."

"I still like to listen to you playing the song Fengqiuhuang... However, nothing is as peaceful as Ji Chang sleeping next to me. Don't get up. I just sleep."

Ma Liang was lying on his back looking at the top of the tent, the corners of his mouth curled up.He could hear Liu Bei's breathing gradually slowing down, and he fell into a deep sleep.He couldn't sleep with his eyes open.Seeing the splendor of the aliens, Ma Liang couldn't help recalling when he was a classmate with Zhuge Liang in Xiangyang when he was young.During the busy farming season, Zhuge Liang could not come to Xiangyang often.Ma Liang took his younger brother to find him.At that time, Zhuge Liang's qin art was already superb, touching people's hearts and connecting things.People can often hear the open and peaceful artistic conception from his piano sound.Ma Liang was very impressed, so he ran to Longzhong, pestering him to learn.

In fact, Ma Liang was born in a family, so how could he not have a husband to teach him how to play the piano.But he was naughty young and didn't like to learn from his teacher, so he still went to find Zhuge Liang secretly.His mother told him to take good care of his younger brother, and Ma Su also stuck to him.Ma Liang couldn't leave him alone, so he had to take him with him.Who knows that Ma Di is young, but also loves to pester Zhuge Liang to ask about the art of war.Zhuge Liang also loves him very much.

Ma Su has short legs and cannot walk fast.The two children set off at noon and did not walk to Longzhong until it was getting dark.It was the evening sun, and the sound of cicadas in the mountains and fields continued.After dinner, when the moon was on the branches and the bamboo shadows were swaying, Zhuge Liang took Ma Liang to play the piano in front of the thatched cottage.Don't even use lights, just play the piano by the moonlight.What I played was "Qing Yun Song":

"Qingyun is rotten, and it is beautiful. The sun and the moon are shining, and it is Fudan."

At that time, during the war in the Central Plains, only the land of Jingchu could hear such rituals and music.

"Ah Liang, whenever you play the piano, you must feel something in your heart, have something to point to, and enter the strings with seven emotions to form a wonderful song. Otherwise, you will end up playing in vain."

Ma Liang asked: "It's clear that the sky is dead, and the stars are dead. The sun and the moon are shining brightly in one person. This is a poem praising Emperor Shun. But today, the world is in chaos. Without Emperor Shun, how can there be peace and praise? How can you play the elegant tune of Emperor Shun governing the world?"

"How does Ah Liang know that there is no Emperor Shun in today's world? How do you know that in the troubled times, there is no real Ming Lord? The long night is dark, but there is also the light of the stars and the moon. Because of the troubled times, the people are more eager for the appearance of Ming Jun , just like the long-dried land yearns for rain. At this time, if we don’t play such elegant music, what else should we play?”

"When the Han Dynasty was in decline, Emperor Guangwu rose from among the common people. His virtues and talents were comparable to those of Emperor Shun. When the Han Dynasty was in decline, perhaps another Emperor Guangwu would appear in the grass .”

Ma Liang couldn't help but recall that when he was in Xinye, Liu Bei also sang "The Song of the Emperor":

"The sun and the moon have their permanence, and the stars have their travels. The four seasons follow the scriptures, and Wan's surname is Yuncheng.

Yuyu discusses music and matches the spirit of heaven.If you move to the virtuous and good, you will listen to it. "

"Kongming is my bosom friend, who was sent by the sage to assist and accompany me. Treat the people in accordance with the righteous way throughout the year, and the people will sincerely support and return to their hearts. Use beautiful music to educate the people, and follow the will of heaven to compose virtue. As long as it can inspire people's virtuousness and kindness, no one is unwilling to obey and listen. Every word Kong Ming said fits with me in that way, because his wish is also my wish."

Ma Liang turned over and looked at his emperor with nostalgia under the moonlight.

"It's about drumming, it's about dancing, the essence is exhausted, and the clothes are gone."

"I have given my best everything, and now I take up my clothes and leave for a long journey without nostalgia." In fact, it is only to go to Wuling, why is there such a feeling of reluctance?It is because the minister is about to leave without saying goodbye, for fear that His Majesty will be worried.It is because the minister traveled far to Jingnan and could no longer accompany and take care of His Majesty, so he was concerned.

Your Majesty... please forgive the crime of leaving without saying goodbye.

Ma Liang sighed, turned over and fell asleep on his side, any tear fell on the pillow.He didn't know at the time that once he left, he would never come back.I don't know, before Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition seven years later, with the same mood, he wrote these words in tears: "Now you should stay away, and weep before you, don't know what to say."

***

It was already noon when Zhuge Jin came to Hanying.Liu Bei is discussing matters with the generals.I saw Kazuba Linlang coming to report:

"Your Majesty, Zhuge Ziyu of Eastern Wu is waiting outside the camp to see you!"

"Oh?" Liu Bei said with a smile, "Ziyu really came in person. Please come and let me see you." As he spoke, he sent an order to Chen Dao, the leader of the Baimu army: "Treat each other with great courtesy! Let Ziyu meet my big Han army." Wei, the momentum is strong!"

Chen Dao smiled and understood: "Yes!"

When Zhuge Jin stepped into the gate, he could only hear drums beating the sky, Xuanjia shining in the sun, iron spears shining like silver, and swords and halberds like forests.The Han army is dignified and dignified, all wearing dark red uniforms and black armor.There are thousands of tiger and wolf teachers, and they are all lined up on both sides to welcome the envoys.It's a good country style.If he hadn't been battle-tested for a long time, everyone would be so frightened that his legs would go limp.At this point, he already understood that Liu Bei could not agree to a truce, but since he came, he should fulfill his mission.

At the end of the walk, I saw Liu Bei's Habayashi Army--the Baiyan Army.They are all composed of the bravest soldiers among the elite soldiers.The Han army is dressed in red and Xuanjia, while the Baixuan soldiers are dressed in white clothes, white clothes, plain armor, and plain feathers, and they are looking forward to it.The knife and halberd he holds is forged from fine steel, and its sharpness is unparalleled.Zhuge Jin walked along the long road lined with war halberds, and saw Zhengxi General Chen Dao in military uniform, greeted him in front of the tent, and accompanied him into the room.

Enter handsome account.But seeing all the generals gathered in the tent, Liu Bei sat on the commander's desk, and seeing him coming, he couldn't help standing up, and walked down the commander's platform to meet him.All the generals were curious about the prime minister's brother and looked at him carefully.But seeing that Zhuge Jin looks five points like Zhuge Liang, he is also quite handsome.The only fly in the ointment is that Zhuge Liang has an oval face, and this Zhuge Ziyu's face is a bit too long, no wonder some people use the horse face as a metaphor... but it is too exaggerated and mean.

"Brother Prime Minister actually came here in person." Liu Bei smiled and said, "I will treat you well."

Zhuge Jin bowed in salute and smiled: "Jin came here as the prefect of Nanjun. He is not the brother of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Bei smiled and shook his head: "Blood is thicker than water, how can Ziyu be like this? Tell Ziyu. What did Sun Quan send you to say?"

Zhuge Jin looked at Liu Bei calmly: "I was not sent by the King of Wu. It was Jin who wanted to come. I hope His Majesty will think about what Jin said in the book the day before yesterday. How can His Majesty be like the late emperor as Guan Yu's relative? Jingzhou is as big as Jingzhou, and he is familiar with the mainland? Everyone responds to the enemy's disease, who should come first? If you judge this number, it is easy to turn your back."
