Mi Han

Chapter 532

Chapter 532

Not long after, a secret note written by Mi Yang was sent from the Han army barracks outside Xiegukou, and went southward towards Yangping Pass via Baoxie Road very quickly.

This secret memorial is Mi Yang's latest judgment on the military situation in Guanzhong and his suggestions to Liu Bei.

Because it was an urgent military situation, the courier never stopped along the way.

But a few days later, the messenger arrived outside Yangping Pass.

When Ma Liang, the minister who accompanied the Northern Expedition, learned that Mi Yang had sent an emergency army report, he did not dare to delay, and immediately set off to look for Liu Bei.

But when Ma Liang arrived outside the courtyard where Liu Bei lived, he was informed by the captain of the Habayashi Army who was on duty in the courtyard that His Majesty took General Zheng Bei out to hunt early this morning.

It is winter now, and since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, Chinese kings have had the practice of hunting in winter.

Of course, this practice was well followed by Liu Bei, the king of horses.

This incident is quite common, after all, at the moment when the army is not deployed, winter hunting, as a recreational activity, can be a good way to relieve boredom in leisure time.

But after Ma Liang learned of this, he was faintly worried.

The reason is that Liu Bei has been very close to Liu Feng in recent days.

Originally, Liu Feng was Liu Bei's son, so it was normal for Liu Bei to be close to him, but what if we add the recent rumors in Yangping Pass?

It turned out that after Liu Bei arrived at Yangping Pass, he suddenly issued an imperial edict somehow.

The content of that imperial decree was to confer the titles of his two princes, Liu Yong and Liu Li, as King Lu and King Zhao respectively.

This is what should be.

But after the two princes were canonized as queens, some discussions gradually spread in Yangpingguan. Since the two princes Liu Yong and Liu Li, who are still young, have already become vassal kings, what about Liu Feng?

You must know that although Liu Feng is not Liu Bei's biological son, he is Liu Bei's stepson.

At the beginning, Liu Bei accepted Liu Feng as his stepson because he had no children at all. This incident is well known in the world, which shows that Liu Feng is legally qualified to become king.

Now that both Liu Yong and Liu Li have been crowned kings, Liu Feng, who is the oldest and has military exploits, is still only a prince, which is really inappropriate.

However, Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang are at odds!

Although the power in the hands of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty has continued to shrink since Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty.

By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty were almost equivalent to idlers supported by the court.

It's just that Liu Feng is different, he holds military power in his hands.

Judging from Liu Bei's intention of worshiping Liu Feng as the general who conquered the North, Liu Bei never thought of cutting Liu Feng's military power.

He not only has military power in his hands, but he is also a vassal king, even though Liu Feng is far inferior to Zhuge Liang in terms of ability.

But such Liu Feng will bring harm to Zhuge Liang in the future, or the harm it will bring to the entire Han Dynasty is unimaginable.

Isn't it clearly recorded in the history books what the princes and kings with military power in their hands will do?

Ma Liang's political wisdom is not low, but he is not an emperor after all.

He couldn't understand Liu Bei's move to release Liu Feng from the emperor's perspective.

As a subject, because of Liu Feng's past performance and Liu Feng's character, he was wary of, or hostile to, Liu Feng.

Whenever he thinks of this, Ma's conscience is filled with worry.

Ma Liang also has a son, and he knows how much love for a calf can affect a person.

If Liu Feng suddenly asked Liu Bei to make him king when Liu Bei's love was strong, would Liu Bei agree?

And the emperor's words are as important as nine tripods, and Liu Bei's promise means that there is no room for turning around this matter.

That's why Ma Liang felt even more worried after hearing that Liu Bei took Liu Feng out hunting today.

In recent years, the Great Han has continuously achieved great military victories, but as each great victory pushes the Great Han's national fortune to a new level, there will be many political hidden dangers looming under those great victories.

The power of a separate regime is not the same as the temptation brought by a power that may unify the regime in the world.

Those political hidden dangers in the past were suppressed by Liu Bei, but seeing Liu Bei getting old, after the crown prince succeeds in the future, can he, who is benevolent and weak, do this?

On the way to find Liu Bei, Ma Liang was constantly worried.

But in the end Ma Liang could only sigh deeply.

Only Liu Bei can solve the hidden danger for the big man.

I hope His Majesty will make proper arrangements tomorrow!

Liu Bei was riding a horse and walking in the deep mountain road. Not far behind him were hundreds of Yulin riders who were protecting him, but Liu Feng was the only one following him.

It can be seen that Liu Bei has been fond of Liu Feng recently.

And Liu Feng also understood that this was Liu Bei's love for him, so he had a satisfied smile on his face.

Liu Feng has never been good at hiding his feelings.

When Liu Bei looked for the prey around him, he also saw the joy on Liu Feng's face.

He just smiled helplessly at this.

No one is perfect, Liu Chan is too benevolent but not decisive, but Liu Feng is too decisive and not tolerant.

His two sons are almost two extremes in temperament.

Liu Bei once thought before that if Liu Chan and Liu Feng's temperaments could be neutralized, then the future success of the next king of the great man would not be low.

But it's a pity, how can things in the world be fulfilled?

He already has Mi Yang as a good student, but he thinks that his son can also catch up with Mi Yang's excellence, which is really too greedy.

But after seeing the joy on Liu Feng's face, Liu Bei remembered something.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Liu Bei asked casually:

"Recently there have been rumors in the pass about when you became king?"

When Liu Feng saw Liu Bei asking him about this matter out of the blue, the joy on his face disappeared in an instant, leaving only a cautious look on his face.

Liu Feng immediately bent his body slightly, bowed and replied:

"Slightly heard."

This incident has been widely circulated in Yangping Pass recently, even Liu Bei has heard of it. If Liu Feng replied that he didn't know, it would be too fake.

So Liu Feng chose a compromise answer.

Just heard it.

It's a pity that Liu Feng still underestimated his father.

After hearing Liu Feng's answer, Liu Bei turned his head to look at Liu Feng, and then gently persuaded:

"Let your people, stop."

Liu Bei's words made Liu Feng's face change drastically. He was eager to explain something, but Liu Bei didn't give him a chance to explain.

"I don't blame you for what you did.

But don't go on. "

Liu Bei's tone was very determined. He knew that this discussion was spread secretly by Liu Feng's people.

The reason is simple. The three major powers that make up Han politics are Yuancong, Jingzhou, and Dongzhou.

Among them, the ministers of the Yuan Cong family and the Jingzhou family had poor feelings towards Liu Feng because of Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang respectively.

As for the ministers of Dongzhou Department, they are more Buddha-like at present, as long as it does not touch Mi Yang's interests, they will rarely take the initiative to do certain things.

Under such circumstances, apart from Liu Feng's own people, who would spontaneously discuss this matter for Liu Feng?

Moreover, Liu Bei knew Liu Feng very well, and Liu Feng, who had a daring temperament, was someone who would do such a thing.

After hearing Liu Bei's determined tone, Liu Feng also lost his sophistry. He bowed his head honestly and said:

"My son is wrong."

Seeing Liu Feng admitting his mistake, Liu Bei lost interest in paying attention to this matter.

As he said, he didn't intend to blame Liu Feng for this matter.

Because Liu Feng did this, it was understandable.

People do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.

The premise that Liu Bei is good at knowing people is that he has always faced up to human nature.

However, Liu Bei seemed to be trying to appease Liu Feng, so he then promised:

"If you sincerely serve the big man, what should belong to you, I will definitely give it to you in the future."

After receiving this promise from Liu Bei, Liu Feng was overjoyed.

His father never broke his promise.

Seeing Liu Feng's happy face, Liu Bei, who has not yet found his prey, asked Liu Feng with the idea of ​​getting closer to Liu Feng and Mi Yang:

"What do you think of the General?"

Facing Liu Bei's question, Liu Feng froze for a moment.

It's not that he can't answer this question, it's that there are too many answers to this question.

There are endless discussions about Mi Yang in the world at present, and Liu Feng has heard a lot of them, so he can choose a few answers to Liu Bei at will.

But Liu Bei, who has always known people, how could he not know what the general is like?

Therefore, Liu Bei must have deep meaning when he asked this question.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng thought again and replied:

"In terms of military strategy, the minister is not as good as him."

No matter how proud Liu Feng is, he dare not say that his military strategy is superior to Mi Yang's.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there's no need for Liu Bei to sneer. Even an old man in the countryside of Liangzhou would unconsciously think of rushing to spit at Liu Feng after hearing this answer.

But the arrogant Liu Feng, after saying this sentence, still thought secretly in his heart:

He is only inferior to Mi Yang in terms of military strategy, and Mi Yang is also inferior to him in some respects, such as his status.

No matter how good Mi Yang is, he is only Liu Bei's nephew, at most he can be an apprentice.

But he, Liu Feng, is Liu Bei's prince, the one who will be crowned king in the future.

How can Mi Yang compare with his status?

And Liu Bei was noncommittal after listening to Liu Feng's answer.

He just turned around and said: "General, there is something you also need to learn.

For example his Tibetan front. "

Seeing that Liu Feng was puzzled, Liu Bei continued to point out: "Do you still remember that in the parliament that day, why did the general recommend the Hussar general to me in front of all the ministers?"

When Liu Bei mentioned this matter, resentment appeared in Liu Feng's heart again.

Originally, if Mi Yang hadn't interfered that day, he would have successfully become Liu Bei's deputy general that day.

But hateful!

Liu Feng's heart was gloomy, which made his expression not so clear.

After Liu Bei saw Liu Feng's expression, he continued to say:

"On that day, you might have thought that the general was obstructing it, but after the general recommended Hussar General in public that day, many ministers thought that the general had lost his wisdom in this matter.

This is undoubtedly a bad comment for the general.

But have you ever thought about it, with the status and intelligence of the general, he can choose to report his thoughts on recommending the hussar general to me in private.

Why risk a stigma for doing this?

But the general knew that the meritorious service he had made at the moment was too great.

Long before I arrived, rumors had spread in Liangzhou that the master might be shaken by high meritorious deeds.

Of course, the general would not think that I am someone who would be jealous, but whether I am jealous of my subjects is a question of my gentleman's morality.

But whether the courtiers can make the monarch not suspect him is a question of the wisdom of the courtiers.

Do you still remember the story I often told you about Wang Jian and Qin Shihuang? "

Because he regards Liu Feng as his own son, Liu Bei's teaching is quite straightforward.

From the story of Wang Jian and Qin Shihuang, how can a courtier who has made great achievements make the king feel at ease?

It can be done by self-pollution.

And openly recommending the notorious Ma Chao, in this world that values ​​morality, is naturally considered a stain, but it can be completely covered up by Mi Yang's meritorious service.

But covering up and never being stained are two different things.

Before the Han Dynasty, there was an auxiliary minister who was morally blameless and was directly called a saint of the world. That minister was named Wang Mang.

What is the most dangerous thing for a courtier?

That is, he has made great achievements and is morally perfect. Which king would be relieved of such a courtier?

At least there was no such example until the emergence of the pair of monarchs Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in later history.

In China's thousands of years of history, the example of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang as a pair of monarchs and ministers can almost be called an isolated case.

As for the current isolated case, it has not even appeared before Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have yet to make a conclusion.

So Mi Yang deliberately recommended Ma Chao publicly in front of all the ministers, except that he really wanted to fulfill his wish for Ma Chao, and also had the idea of ​​self-defilement.

It can be said that Liu Bei's teaching is not clear, how can Liu Feng not understand it?

And he also knew that the reason why Liu Bei wanted to praise Mi Yang was that he wanted him to learn from Mi Yang, to understand Zang Feng.

But because of the resentment in his heart, Liu Feng subconsciously replied indignantly:

"The general is at most a relative, but I am a child of the royal family, I..."

Indignantly, Liu Feng expressed his thoughts.

But before Liu Feng finished speaking, he met Liu Bei's sharp gaze.

Liu Bei's sharp gaze directly frightened Liu Feng.

"Who said he will be just a cousin in the future?"

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Liu Feng's face showed surprise.

He saw the firmness in Liu Bei's sharp eyes.

This made his heart feel like a stormy sea.

A guess emerged in Liu Feng's mind.

After shocking Liu Feng with his eyes, Liu Bei shook his head in disappointment.

He didn't blame Liu Feng for spreading rumors secretly, but he didn't like Liu Feng's repeated admonitions.

It seems that in the future, Zisheng can only look at him more.

After withdrawing his gaze from looking at Liu Feng, Liu Bei looked at the surrounding mountains and forests again.

The search this time was not in vain, and he quickly discovered the figure of a prey in a bush not far away.

Seeing this, Liu Bei took the bow and set the arrow without thinking, and a sharp arrow shot out shortly afterwards.

As the king of horses, Liu Bei is naturally good at archery.

The sharp arrow he shot hit the prey smoothly.

At this time, a knight not far behind immediately got off his horse and went into the grass to take out the prey Liu Bei had shot.

But when the prey was brought to Liu Bei's body, a look of disappointment appeared on Liu Bei's face.

It turned out to be just a pheasant rabbit.

Why is a pheasant rabbit making such a loud noise?

Liu Bei was about to continue searching for prey in disappointment, but at this time Ma Liang also came to Liu Bei from a distance with Mi Yang's secret music.

After seeing Ma Liang's appearance, Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

When he and Ma Liang crossed each other, he couldn't wait to take Mi Yang's secret performance from Ma Liang's hand and read it.

After reading the contents of the secret performance, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing out loud.

coming!

The opportunity he waited for finally came!

Liu Bei's loud laughter startled a forest of birds, but at this time Liu Bei had no intention of hunting them.

What kind of skill is hunting pheasants, rabbits and birds? Next, he is going to hunt Cao Wei, the eagle!

Thinking of this, Liu Bei quickly turned back towards Yangping Pass with his bow and horse.

Due to the speed, Liu Feng and Ma Liang were a little behind in pursuit.

Driven by the cold wind, the big red leather jacket behind Liu Bei fluttered in the wind, very much like the Han army flag that will appear in the land of Longyou, and also symbolized Liu Bei's joyful mood at this moment.

Years of long-cherished wish, many years of long-cherished wish!
