Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

Liu Bei and his party stayed in the inn until May, but they didn't get to see the little emperor.

No, strictly speaking, they have seen the dignity of the little emperor from afar.Almost every day, they teach publicly on the high platform of the main hall of the school.But there are guards guarding the audience, and there are too many scholars attending the lectures, even if the emperor occasionally yells a few words of comfort to the audience after class, it cannot be regarded as a real visit to the emperor.

The real pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven is held on the first and fifteenth day of every month.Cao Cao sent officials to report to the emperor on the work of the month, then the selection of the disciples of the school and the transfer of personnel, and finally received the guests from all over the world.

The number of places is limited each time.

Liu Bei came here by himself, and he didn't inform Cao Cao about it, so he was blind to all the systems in Xu County.It was only when I hit a wall at the school that I realized that I had to make an appointment in advance to worship.As a result, isn't it scheduled until June [-]th?

Lixia has passed, and the sky is getting hotter.There were fewer people listening to lectures in the square than in spring, but it was still a spectacular scene.Today we are talking about the chapter "The Doctrine of the Mean".Originally, the class of classics and history was taught by Taiwei Yang Biao, but because Yang Biao suffered from mild heat stroke, Cai Yong took over the class.

Cai Yong's lectures can be regarded as classics, but the content is not as fresh and interesting as Cao Sheng's practical class, and the sun is shining on people, so Zhang Fei began to feel drowsy, and he was left in Liu Bei's class when he was dizzy. on the shoulders.

Guan Yu was a little better than him, with his eyes closed and his back straight, making it hard to tell whether he was resting or dozing off.

On the contrary, Liu Bei, who was tired of studying when he was young, listened to the whole process with a smile on his face.But what he listened to was not "The Doctrine of the Mean".

"Today's class is over." Xiao Huangmen's sharp voice pierced through the stuffy air, making everyone tremble.Zhang Fei shook his shoulders, and Guan Yu also opened his eyes.

"salute--"

Together with Liu Xie, everyone greeted Cai Yong as a disciple. "Thank you Master Cai." Cai Yong turned half of his body sideways and returned the salute to Liu Xie.

Xiao Huangmen rushed to Liu Xie's side: "Does Your Majesty have any orders today?"

The little emperor nodded: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's not easy for students to attend classes under the scorching sun. Cao Zi has ordered the Mohist disciples to rush to make six hundred umbrellas for institutions, and they will be available tomorrow. I hope you will spread the word."

Immediately, five eunuchs with loud voices repeated the emperor's words one by one in front of the square, in exchange for a loud thank you.Then, another round of mung bean soup was distributed.The three Liu Bei brothers also got a bowl each, and drank it down.

"Hey, it's still sweet." Zhang Fei said, "His Majesty the Emperor is living a luxurious life."

Liu Bei glared at him: "This is the grace of God."

Zhang Fei just laughed.Guan Yu had a serious expression on his face: "Brother, it's not a big deal for us to come here to attend lectures every day. There are so many people, Your Majesty doesn't even know where our brother is from."

"You also said that if His Majesty doesn't know us, there will be no special summons, and we can only go the way of Cao's house. If they want to take Joe, we can't help it. There is always a number plate, so wait." Liu Bei He smiled helplessly, and then returned the bowl to the little maid.

Guan Yu was in a hurry: "Then it's really waiting for June [-]th? Big brother, most of our trilogy will stay in Xuzhou. If this time is long, God knows what Tao Qian will do."

The three of them were worried all the way.The newly-built Xu County is naturally very good, the streets are spacious and clean, the houses are sturdy, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but they are outsiders to Xu County after all.The more prosperous the city is, the more frustrated people look.

But I have to say that Liu Bei's luck was very good. As soon as they returned to the inn, they heard a group of scholars talking excitedly in the lobby.

"I heard that Yingchuan scholars also formed a Cuju team. I think they are here specifically for our Chenliu Cuju team."

"What are you afraid of? It's just that Cuju is not as good as them, and our brother Bian is a good rider and shooter."

"No matter how good you are, can you be better than those warriors who came from cavalry? Now there are quite a few people from Bingzhou and Youzhou gathered in Xu County. They grew up on horseback."

Speaking of people from Youzhou, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are from Youzhou, and Guan Yu is half of them.This has to let the three brothers take care of it.Liu Bei pulled out a scholar who was arguing and invited him to drink, and only then did he get accurate information.

"On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, that is, seven days later, there will be three competitions of riding and archery, Cuju, and wrestling at the racecourse in the west of the city. The winners can attend the emperor's banquet that night. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to be directly awarded an official if you are in the eyes of a nobleman. ah!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, but he still had to suppress his emotions: "Didn't it mean that the emperor won't receive foreign ministers because it's not the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year?"

"Who said that? Didn't Yang Biao and Dong Cheng send posts to Meibing Pavilion every three days? Mr. Zhonghua didn't say anything, and invited them to dinner together. But this kind of treatment is not available to senior officials above the prefect." .”

To prefect ah.The three of Liu Bei looked at each other and sighed, if they could swallow Taishan County back then, they would be the prefect now, what a pity.

"From this point of view, the competition on the tenth day of May is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"That's right, how many humble children who can't see the holy face are holding back their energy! The big clans in different regions are also competing with each other." The scholar lowered his voice, his face looked a little wretched due to drunkenness, "This is His Majesty's own idea .”

Liu Bei filled another cup for him: "I would like to hear more about it."

The man laughed loudly: "You, Liu Xuande, have been in Xu County for more than a month, why is there no news? You go to the Plum Blossom House and the Tea Taste Pavilion, and you will be able to understand the cause and effect.

"The "Encouraging Martial Arts" written by His Majesty half a month ago, eh, that's all, 'Martial arts in troubled times, civil governance in prosperous times, today's chaos, martial arts is the first, the son of a family should join the army, and only then can he serve the head of his family and country.'"

Guan Yu interrupted: "Of course we didn't miss such a big event. His Majesty's manuscript has been posted in front of the academy for three days."

"Then are you still listening?" said the drunk scholar.

Guan Yu shut up, and Liu Bei quickly persuaded him to drink again. "You talk, you talk."

"Mr. Zhonghua said that your majesty's literary talents are still lacking, but you have already got the truth, so it's better to try it out. So there was this competition, and I heard that the event was also appointed by your majesty. His majesty initiated it, and there are great rewards, so he went to the capital of Guizhou from the aristocratic family. Have a martial heart."

Liu Bei bowed his head and thought for a while: "If it is done well, I'm afraid there will be martial arts competitions every year in the future, and it will become a custom."

"That's right!" The scholar, who was already drunk, uttered a strange shout, "It's a blessing in this life to be born under the rule of Yanzhou." Then, he fell on the table with a plop, and passed out.

Liu Bei called the servants in the shop to take care of the drunk, and he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back to the room.

"I'm going to wrestle." Zhang Fei yelled as soon as the door closed, "I don't need to make an appointment this time."

Liu Bei naturally had nothing to say. "It's a pity that the three of us are not good at archery, otherwise we can have an extra layer of protection. Now we can only rely on the bravery of the two brothers. I also signed up for wrestling with my brothers, but I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the final."

"Hahaha, brother, look at my Zhang Yide! Brother Yunchang, you...you can't, you can't let go."

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "See the real trick in the arena."

"Hahaha." Zhang Fei laughed again, "I'm so happy, I've been here for a month, and it's the first time I've had such a happy time."

The three of them went to prepare for the competition without mentioning it, and it was the day of the competition in a blink of an eye.White clouds floated in the blue sky, and the soil of the racecourse was slightly hot from the sun.But because of the wind today, it is also a suitable weather for the body.

The emperor's motorcade arrived here, and the elite guards raised red, black and yellow colored flags and neatly distributed them around the racecourse.On the grandstand, the canopy of the Son of Heaven has long been erected to provide shade for the emperor and nobles.

Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Dong Cheng, Ding Gong, Cao Sheng, Guo Jia... and even Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Ding, were all heavyweights present, which made the contestants scream.

Compared with the vast riding and archery competition and Cuju competition, wrestling is the smallest scene.There are ten arenas in a row, two by two go up to duel, the loser will be eliminated.The last eight matches will be moved to the big red arena closest to the stands.

Those whose legs were frightened by the big scene were naturally the first to be screened out. For example, Liu Bei's first opponent, an eight-foot-tall man, almost collapsed at the first push.

This is so nervous that you can't stand still, right?Liu Bei smiled, got off the stage and put on his single clothes to cover his bare chest.

Zhang Fei on the next stage didn't even bring any clothes on, and jumped up and down on the stage with his chest bare, shouting loudly: "It's too slow to come one by one, and the people from the Bochen group, let's go together, anyway, the last one to qualify for the final is only Your grandfather me."

Who is the grandfather of who?You make it clear.A group of people rushed up to the ring viciously shaking their muscles, and then were thrown down one by one by Zhang Fei, like sandbags being thrown. "Hey!" "Drink!" "A guy who is not as heavy as a pig, also come to wrestle?" "Hahaha, you tripped by yourself, grandpa will give you a ride."

Compared with Zhang Fei who was speaking hatred, Guan Yu was much quieter.It's just punching to the flesh, the way civilized people play.

Liu Bei is naturally proud. It is really his luck to have a brother as brave as Liu Bei.Even if he himself lost in the third round, it couldn't stop his good mood.

"Except for Xu Chu from the Jiazi group, no one can fight against the two virtuous brothers. Xu Chu is a member of Duke Cao, and he only wants to be famous, so I'm afraid he won't compete for His Majesty's banquet." Liu Bei retreated to the rest area while analyzing, but From time to time, his eyes drifted towards the grandstand.

Ah Sheng sat far away from the emperor this time, two seats more than usual.On her left is Guo Jia, who is hanging around, and on her right is Ding Shi, who is sitting upright.

"Sister, you don't need to carry it." Ah Sheng persuaded, "This is an activity to enjoy with the people."

Only then did Ding take the drink in front of him and eat it. "Failed to persuade Cai Gong's daughter to marry far away, I always feel that I can't hold my head up in front of your elder brother."

"Hey, brother himself can't persuade him. He knew he couldn't persuade him, so he even sent sister here, with very bad intentions."

These words attracted Guo Jia's frequent glances.

Covering the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, Ding smiled like a flower: "Oh, now you are the only one who can tell me a few jokes about Meng De. Juancheng Mansion is very boring, and Bian has always been a cautious person." Yes, Ah Huan is good-looking, but I don't understand the thoughts of her little daughter who hurts the spring and the autumn, and even the flattery on the surface is not speculative."

"Humph. Brother Nahuan didn't tell me anything when she was in Nahuan. I didn't know there was such a person until A Jie was born." She handed Mrs. Ding a white peach, "Sister thinks about those people who are trapped in the inner house. What do the concubines in the middle school do, you just stand outside under the sky openly, the old and the weak in the army, the Marseille gathering, the wedding reception, the sacrifice to the farming and mulberry, isn’t it enough for you to live a fulfilling life?”

"These are also my duties, but I always have to worry about those children, and I gradually stopped. Do you think it is time to send Liaodong to Liaodong? But I always feel that it is better to accompany His Majesty, I want to ask A Ang and A Shuo to come to Xu County."

"Sister is their mother, so it's natural that sister is in charge." Ah Sheng took a sip of herbal tea, "My humble little classroom has become a beautiful jade? Everyone is rushing to send their nephews over."

"Look at what you said, how inconspicuous? A classmate of the Son of Heaven, a disciple of Master Cao—"

The two aunts and sisters-in-law talked about the children, and they chatted with Guo Jia from time to time.And the field is also very hot.From the moment the morning dew disappeared to the west of the sun, the little emperor sent someone to deliver soup for three times before the first event was decided. The top three riders in the archery field were all from Bingzhou, young men who were skilled in bowing and horses , but naturally has the rebelliousness of a barbarian.
