Standing by the Kunming Pool, Lu Yi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the majestic Lecture Hall.

His uncle Lu Jun stood aside and arched him with his shoulders. "Are you tempted?"

Lu Yi turned his head and glanced at Lu Jun. "Why did uncle say that?"

Lu Jun laughed. "Although it is said that judging a person by its appearance is a lost cause, it is generally correct to infer the functions of the halls from the scale of the building. The Jiangwu Hall is independent of this and built on the former site of the Efang Palace. It will definitely be the head of the halls in the future."

He raised his hand, covered his lips, and coughed twice. "The Son of Heaven has the ambition to conquer the four directions. In the future, the Martial Arts Hall will be the main one that can be appointed as a Marquis and General. The Lu family of Wu County wants to go further, so entering the Martial Arts Hall is the best choice. I am not in good health, and Ah Ji and A Shang are weak. , the possibility of joining the army is not very high. Only you can take on this important task. Moreover, the emperor has always known people, and he has taken a fancy to you, which also shows that you have such potential."

Lu Yi thought for a while, then sighed softly. "Uncle said that, I can't bear it."

Lu Jun patted Lu Yi on the shoulder. "Work hard! For the Lu family, but also for yourself."

Lu Yi turned around and bowed to Lu Jun.

Lu Jun bowed and returned the gift.

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Go." Lu Jun said.

Lu Yi responded, turned around and walked towards the lecture hall.

The guards on duty in the hall had already seen Lu Jun and Lu Yi, and they were not surprised to see Lu Yi walking over.A guard stepped forward, took the famous assassin from Lu Yi, and nodded.

"You wait on the side. Yu Jijiu is very busy, it may take longer."

Lu Yi bowed his thanks, turned around and walked to the stone table beside him, and sat down quietly.

It is very high here, and the vision is excellent, and it can be seen far away.

But Lu Yi lowered his eyebrows and looked down, like an old monk in meditation, without looking out.

After a while, the guard who went in to report came out, walked up to Lu Yi, looked at Lu Yi in surprise, and bowed to salute.

"Please come with me."

Lu Yi got up, followed the guards into the door, turned around several corridors, and came to a spacious courtyard.A group of people are discussing together, the atmosphere is very lively, even a little noisy.

With the sharp ears of Lu Yi, he suddenly heard some of these voices were slightly shrill, like women.He followed the sound and saw several women, but they were all wearing the same crown and the same narrow-sleeved Hu gown, if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to tell them apart.

Yu Fan in the crowd saw Lu Yi and waved.

Everyone stopped discussing and looked at Lu Yi in unison, and one of the women blurted out.

"What a handsome young man."

Lu Yi was a little embarrassed, but the people beside him were not surprised and laughed.

"Bo Yan, come here." Yu Fan pulled Lu Yi to his side and pointed at everyone. "These are all the best craftsmen and students in my martial arts hall. Let me introduce you. This is not only Huang Jiangzuo's daughter, Zhuge Kongming's wife, but also a handsome girl, Huang Yueying. The martial arts hall is composed of She presided over the construction."

Lu Yi glanced at the young woman who was facing Yu Fan, and was very surprised.

He heard that the lecture hall was built by Huang Yueying, but he didn't expect Huang Yueying to be so young and also Zhuge Liang's wife.

Yu Fan introduced a few people to Lu Yi, and then talked about a device in front of him.

"Do you know what this is?"

Lu Yi looked at it carefully for a while, then shook his head. "It seems to be used for projectiles. I don't know exactly what it is."

"The trebuchet mentioned in the military book is also known as the cannon, but we have made improvements, and there are some differences from what you saw before..."

Looking at Yu Fan who was talking eloquently, Lu Yi felt an indescribable awkwardness.He had met Yu Fan before. At that time, Yu Fan was a knowledgeable and unrestrained madman.Yu Fan in front of him was full of words like weight, length, and distance. He was no different from a craftsman.

Is this the real learning that the emperor said?

"Do you think this is art, not Tao, and it's not worth mentioning?" Yu Fan said suddenly, with a knowing smile in his eyes.

The craftsmen and students on the side laughed, and one of the women stared intently at Lu Yi, her face flushed slightly.

Lu Yi was a little embarrassed, knowing that Yu Fan had seen through his thoughts.

"Let me put it another way now, maybe you can accept it better." Yu Fan said: "First of all, the trajectory of this trebuchet is in line with the Tao, and it is almost a perfect circle. You see, the heavy ones fall, and the light ones rise. Its power is in compliance with the law, its ratio is in line with the law, it receives low and releases high. Its fall is as heavy as a thousand pounds. Its hair is also as powerful as thunder..."

Lu Yi was dumbfounded.

It was beyond his expectation that there could be two completely different versions of the same thing.

"Boy, the way is not far away, but people are far away." After Yu Fan finished speaking, he patted Lu Yi on the shoulder. "If you feel that the Tao is only between the lips and tongue, on the bamboo slips, then you will never be able to touch the real Tao."

Chapter 745

When Lu Yi followed Yu Fan into the study, his head was still dizzy.

Half of it was because there were too many people and it was too noisy.Part of it was because the shock Yu Fan gave him was so intense that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Knowing that Lu Yi didn't have lunch yet, Yu Fan asked someone to bring some food and eat with Lu Yi.

He was busy all morning and forgot to eat.

After dinner, Yu Fan made a pot of tea, chatted with Lu Yi, and asked about Lu Yi's recent situation after arriving in Chang'an.Knowing how Lu Yi met the emperor, his eyes flashed.

"Do you know Zhuge Liang?"

"I know, it's the young loose rider next to the emperor."

Yu Fan shook his head. "This is something everyone knows, but you still know too little."

"Please also give pointers, sir."

"Zhuge Liang was originally from Langya. Because of his uncle Zhuge Xuan's old relationship with Liu Biao, he went to Xiangyang. His wife and mother are from the Cai family in Xiangyang, and they are Cai Mao's sister."

"I see." Lu Yi smiled slightly.

This kind of thing is too normal for a child of an aristocratic family like him.

Yu Fan shook his head again. "You wait for me to finish."

Lu Yi was a little embarrassed, and bowed to salute.

"Zhuge Liang's two older sisters are both married to the descendants of Xiangyang's aristocratic families. One is Pang Shanmin, the son of Lord Pang De, and the other is Kuai Qi, the concubine of Kuaiyue. It stands to reason that it is easy for Zhuge Liang to live in Xiangyang. But he I did not choose to live in Xiangyang, but settled in Longzhong, [-] miles outside Xiangyang City. Note that Longzhong is north of the Hanshui River and within the territory of Nanyang.”

Lu Yi's eyes lit up and he regained his energy.

Yu Fan showed a slight smile. "Isn't it interesting?"

"It's really interesting to give up the easy and follow the difficult, and keep a respectful distance."

"Later, Zhou Jiamou passed through Xiangyang and learned of this, so he brought him to Xingzai. The emperor admired him very much, but he was extremely strict and ordered him to practice with Tiger Ben and Sanqi every day."

"This is tempering his body and mind, and he has high hopes."

Yu Fan nodded. "Facts have also proved that this son is extremely talented and a rare genius. He has been favored by the emperor, and he will be a pillar in the future. Boyan, the emperor's vision is very high, and there are not many who can catch his favor. Zhuge Liang is a ready-made role model. He let you Coming to see me must be because I want to attract you. This is your opportunity, and it is also an opportunity for the Lu family of Wu County, so you should grasp it well."

"Does the master also suggest that I apply for the lecture hall?"

"The important affairs of the country are only sacrifices and soldiers. Although the Son of Heaven has the heart to speak widely, there are two things that he will not hesitate to do. One of them is military power. As long as the military power is in hand, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are only your majesty. Fate is obedience, no matter how fierce other people quarrel, it will not affect the overall situation."

Lu Yi was silent for a moment, then said again: "So, the Son of Heaven still wants to follow Qin's way and whip the world with force?"

Yu Fan stared at Lu Yi for a moment, then smiled.

"Why, do you think it's better for the states and counties to do their own thing?"

Lu Yi was speechless.

"Soldiers are dangerous weapons, and saints have to use them. Force is indispensable at any time, it just depends on how you use it. You can use force, or you can stop fighting for force. If you regard force as a scourge, you will change your face when you hear it. It's not the right way. Boyan, you are young, don't follow those pedantic teachers and talk nonsense."

"Here." Lu Yi was a little embarrassed, but he accepted the criticism sincerely.

Yu Fan took a sip of tea and said lightly: "The emperor built the martial arts hall not only to teach how to march and fight, but also to teach why to fight. Is it to fight to rule the world, protect the environment and the people, or is it for the extravagance of some people? Not hesitating to kill millions of people is the standard that distinguishes the division of tigers and wolves from the division of kings."

After Lu Yi listened, he suddenly felt his back go cold.He looked at Yu Fan in astonishment for a while.

"So, sir supports Dutian?"

Yu Fan lowered his eyelids. "Whether Dutian can realize the kingly way is still uncertain. But if someone raises troops to rebel in the name of opposing Dutian, I am in favor of sending troops to suppress the rebellion."

He put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyelids, and a cold light flashed in an instant.

"There is a way in the world, and the ritual and music conquests come from the emperor. The emperor holds heavy soldiers, not that he can't use them, but he doesn't use them lightly. If Xiaoxiao thinks that the court can be bullied, and dares to jump the beam, he will naturally be punished so that the people know where Zhengshuo is. The way of civil and military affairs is one piece and one piece. The reason why the big man has this difficulty is related to Guangwu's too lenient treatment of scholar-bureaucrats, and now Zhongxing should accept it."

Lu Yi was dumbfounded.

He never expected to hear such an argument from Yu Fan.

Did he forget that he is also a scholar-bureaucrat?

"Sir... aren't you afraid of harming yourself?"

Yu Fan smiled proudly. "Bo Yan, self-restraint and rites, the world is benevolence. If you can promote the kingly way, those few acres of land are worthless. Is it a gentleman's behavior to focus on self-interest and forget righteousness? In your heart, the so-called kingly way is not as good as it is." How many acres of land is that worth?"

Lu Yi was speechless.

He regretted it a little.It is obviously inappropriate to discuss such a topic with someone like Yu Fan.

He is a real madman and cannot be judged by common sense.

The emperor hit it off with him, perhaps because they were essentially the same kind of people, brilliant and stubborn.For the sake of the goal, at all costs, even if it is self-sacrifice, sacrificing oneself.

This kind of person is respectable, but also terrible.

-

Luoyang.

Han Sui put down the residence newspaper he had just received, smacked his lips, and looked helpless.

Han Yin just walked in, and seeing Han Sui's toothache, he quickly asked, "Ah Weng, are you angry again?"

Han Sui nodded. "It is indeed a bit angry, Jia Wenhe has become a captain."

Startled, Han Yin hurriedly took the residence newspaper, read it quickly, and his face became very ugly.He threw down the mansion newspaper and shouted: "What does the imperial court mean by this? Did it go back on its word? Obviously..."

Before he finished speaking, Han Sui jumped up and raised his hand to get a big slap in the face.

There was a "snap", loud and crisp.

Han Yin was stunned and stared at Han Sui. "Aon, you..."

"Presumptuous, you can criticize the court?" Han Sui stared at him and raised his hand again.Han Yin hurriedly took a step back, staying away from Han Sui.Han Sui pointed and drank. "Zhuzi, if you want to live a more stable life, you have to control your mouth. Otherwise, I don't need to issue an imperial edict, and I will destroy you first, lest you bring disaster to the whole family."

Han Yin was speechless.He seriously suspected that Han Sui was taking advantage of the problem, and he was obviously uncomfortable, but he took it out on him.

Han Sui walked back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stopped in front of Han Yin.

Han Yin was startled, turned around and wanted to run.

"Stop, take a look at your worthless appearance." Han Sui shouted: "Go and clean it up. Follow me tomorrow on a patrol, and go to various riverbanks to have a look. If someone is perfunctory, or takes the opportunity to be greedy, or bully Common people, I must kill a few people to stand up."

Han Yin was surprised. "Ah Weng, if you are angry, just hit me a few times and kill me..."

"You know shit." Han Sui snorted. "Those bastards have always only killed the good and pretended to be meritorious. When will they be able to protect the country and the people? They won't take it seriously if they don't kill a few people. When troubles happen, not only will the court's intentions be disappointed, but Lao Tzu's face will also be shattered." nice."

He smacked his lips again. "Yang Wenxian suddenly exempted himself. Jia Wenhe's appointment as Taiwei is naturally a mistake in the army. If I don't deal with it myself, do I have to wait for the imperial court to issue an edict and tell the truth?"

Chapter 746 Positive Response

Han Yin turned around to make arrangements, and Han Sui sat alone in the tent.

Yang Biao's sudden resignation from Taiwei and Jia Xu's succession made him very puzzled.

He knows how eager those veteran officials are to obtain military power from the emperor.He knew better how much Kanto people despised Xiliang people.

Ma Teng succeeded Deng Quan as Guang Luxun, and it can also be said that Ma Yunlu entered the palace.After all, although Guang Luxun is closer to the emperor, he is still among the nine ministers, which is considered mediocre.It will never be so simple for Jia Xu to be appointed as Taiwei directly from the attendant.

As the saying goes, if you want to advance, you must retreat first, and if you want to take, give first.The emperor suddenly treated Liangzhou people so favorably, probably to deal with a certain Liangzhou person as a foreshadowing.

It was previously reported that Xia Yu's in-laws occupied the mulberry field, and Situ Zhang Shi Duji and Da Si Nong Liu Ba had an argument in front of the emperor. The emperor ordered Xia Yu to be transferred back from northern Xinjiang to confront him face-to-face, but it has something to do with this matter.

But Han Sui still felt unsafe.

Xia Yu was Guo Si's old department, so it was dealt with as soon as it was dealt with, it was not worth the emperor's mobilization of teachers.

After much deliberation, my suspicion is the biggest.

He is located in Luoyang, and has more than 5 cavalry under his command. Although he has repeated orders and repeated orders not to disturb the people, it is inevitable that a few bastards will be disobedient.He had to protect his subordinates for many years and punish him lightly, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and it will be a matter of time before the news reaches the ears of the emperor.

If the emperor wants to take over his military power, it is entirely possible to appease the Liangzhou people in advance.

Instead of waiting for the emperor to let go, it's better to let the emperor know that he just made an unintentional mistake, not because he was unwilling to do it, and did it deliberately.

Han Sui made up his mind, and his mood calmed down a lot.
