Chapter 378 The Invisible Giant Hand that Drives History

When he came to Manlu Hall again, Liu Rengui felt much calmer.

From the shock of seeing the light curtain for the first time, to the shock of knowing that my name will be remembered in future generations, to the diligent study for the past three months, looking back, I feel like a dream.

But the real tactile feedback from the chair under his butt told him that these were not dreams.

It is now the fifth year of Zhenguan. At the latest in the second half of the year, he, Liu Rengui, will rush to serve in the Shandong Navy, and His Majesty will definitely have great expectations for him.

And now, the battle of Tuyuhun is about to begin. At a glance, the absence of Li Jing, Li Shiji and Su Dingfang is very obvious.

The two prime ministers, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, were usually very busy. At this time, they were sitting very close to each other, with their heads close to each other and whispering.

Wei Zheng kept his hands on the book without squinting, looking at the book in his hand slowly turning the pages, in a very leisurely and contented state.

The two painters surnamed Yan were already in place, but something seemed to have gone wrong. Yan Lide was whispering something to his younger brother, while Yan Liben nodded repeatedly with a bitter look on his face.

The fat Changsun Wuji was not absent either. He was writing and drawing in a notebook. Next to him was Hou Junji, who looked a little disappointed. He was staring blankly at the chair vacated by Li Jing.

On the side close to His Majesty's royal couch, His Majesty was holding a friendly conversation with someone. Next to him, Imperial Physician Sun Simiao was staring at this person, making him look a little embarrassed.

This person is also the only new person in this gathering at Ganlu Hall, and Liu Rengui also knows him, so he has moved to Chang'an by his name.

The people in Chang'an called the top scholar in this imperial examination Ma Zhou.

For Ma Zhou, this moment was truly terrifying.

Although he was born in a peasant family and had a reputation for being diligent and studious in the countryside, it should have been difficult for him to reach His Majesty's ears. Otherwise, he would not have spent all the effort to travel all the way to Chang'an and try his best to become the illiterate Lei Ze. Gong Changhe's guest.

But with the emperor's edict, the days of living under Lei Zegong's family were gone forever. He had nothing to do with him and was sent directly to the Imperial Academy.

Ma Zhou could choose to study Guozijian's Guozixue, Taixue, Four Schools, and Arithmetic, and even doctors from the Guozijian would personally teach him and answer his questions.

After receiving this favor from the emperor, his majesty ordered him to take the imperial examination and naturally he could not refuse.

Fortunately, Ma Zhou did not disappoint Li Shimin. He successfully broke through and ranked first in high school under the condition of anonymity.

Now that the emperor and his ministers met in private, Li Shimin couldn't wait to get close to this famous official who would leave his name to future generations.

After all, Li Shimin is now pushing for the imperial examination and obtaining a name, against all the opinions of others. In the end, Ma Zhou, a poor boy with no family background, went to high school. For Li Shimin, who had a long-term layout, it was no more than fighting against friendly forces on the battlefield. A wave of exquisite cooperation.

It suddenly became clear!

But these Ma Zhou didn't know it, so they only felt flattered.

"Oh, by the way." Li Shimin felt more and more happy when he remembered the incident, and ordered to Sun Simiao:

"After today's event, King Medicine will hand over a copy of my dietary taboos to King Bin."

Then he spoke to Ma Zhou in earnest words:

"King Bin, please remember to follow Sun Yaowang's medical advice."

Seeing that His Majesty was so solemn, Ma Zhou also quickly and solemnly agreed.

However, I can't help but feel a little strange. Even so, why is there such a sense of excitement in His Majesty's expression?

And...it's over? What's the matter with gathering here today?

Today was the time for rest, and the whole city of Chang'an looked lazy. Ma Zhou thought that the gathering here today was just for the emperor and his ministers to communicate with each other.

But now that all the prime ministers, assistants, princes and princes are here, what else can he, the champion, do?

However, Li Shimin chose to laugh at Ma Zhou's puzzled look.

Putting aside the new champion for the time being, Li Shimin turned to Liu Rengui and began to inquire carefully about the results of what he had learned in March.

Occasionally, there would be a chamberlain singing loudly outside the palace. Ma Zhou heard the chamberlain shouting "It's time" in a high-pitched voice, and immediately felt that the atmosphere in the palace was a little different.

The ministers and ministers who had been relaxed before raised their heads and looked at the blank wall, with a hint of expectation in their expressions.

What will be on that wall? However, His Majesty was not around at this time, and Ma Zhou had time to look carefully at the decorations in the Manna Hall.

The "Qin Women's Song" hanging in the middle is eye-catching, and its literary talent is commendable, but the content in it makes Ma Zhou feel breathless and a little suspicious. Who is this Wei Zhuang? Why has Ju Changan never heard of it?

After looking away, Ma Zhou's eyes were opened to the maps, drawings of bows and crossbows, and things annotated as artillery. He barely understood what he saw, so he became even more fascinated.

At this moment, the servant's singing voice came from outside the palace again:

"It's just a moment!"

Does it even take a moment to sing? Before Ma Zhou's doubts could arise, he saw the blank wall change.

The beating light seemed to be slow but fast. Ma Zhou raised his finger and pointed. Before he could say "ah ah", the jumping light over there had already outlined a soft light curtain.

Ma Zhou's eyes widened, and at the same time, he saw the ministers in the palace turned around and put smiling eyes on his face.

This made Ma Zhou shut up immediately, because out of the corner of his eye, he saw His Majesty standing in front of the light curtain and writing with great interest, and he was obviously not surprised by this.

So Ma Zhou suppressed the vulgar words that rushed to his lips and replaced them with exclamations:

"Is this auspicious sign for our Tang Dynasty?"

So the prime ministers turned their heads back in boredom:

As expected of the number one scholar, such a quick reaction.

...

Also in Chang'an, the difference is that it is more dilapidated, far less prosperous than the Chang'an owned by Li Shimin.

As for the palace city of Han Chang'an, Liu Bei just left it there, but repaired a general's mansion as a place for office turnover, temporarily as the government office of Chang'an.

At this time, seeing a light curtain slowly unfolding in the air, Liu Bei and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, every time Liu Bei waited for the light curtain, he couldn't help but think wildly, fearing that this thing would disappear inexplicably just like it appeared inexplicably.

But before Liu Bei finished sighing, he couldn't help cheering in his heart:

What a fast knife!

No! Liu Bei covered his forehead and felt that it was a mistake to bring it here. It would be better to let it stay outside Chang'an to train Qiang and Hu well.

"Mengqi, stop!" These were the only four words Liu Bei could shout out.

Zhang Fei reacted faster than Liu Bei, and immediately kicked Ma Chao on the back, causing the ring-handled sword in his hand to fall to the ground.

Jian Yong, who was standing by, stood up and put away the ring-handled sword, and at the same time pressed the indignant Ma Chao to his seat by his shoulders.

To be honest, Ma Chao's lightning-fast knife against the light curtain just now also shocked Jian Yong.

Fortunately, the knife was as if it had no reaction as if it had been cut into the air, and the light curtain seemed to be unaware of it, and did not strike down with lightning on the spot.

While he was relieved, Jian Yong also lamented in his heart that this leader of Yongliang was really not a worry-free person.

Fortunately, this incident was just a small episode. Ma Chao saw the strange phenomenon and thought that someone was doing something wrong to Lord Xuande, so he got angry. In the end, Liu Bei could only blame him with a complicated expression.

In addition, Kong Ming and Pang Tong were still sitting, smiling.

It seemed that sparks were about to fly between Zhang Fei and Ma Chao.

In addition, Fa Zheng and Zhang Zhongjing were also present, and there was no one else.

After all, seriously speaking, they have not yet stopped fighting with the Sun-Cao coalition, and the battle in Guanzhong has taken a short break. Jingzhou has only successfully beaten Jiangdong while confronting Cao Cao.

After taking another look at Ma Chao to confirm that he was sitting obediently on his knees, Liu Bei was also thinking in his heart, should he learn from later generations to make more chairs? After all, kneeling is really tiring...

[Hi, hi, hi! Hello, audience, this is the illiterate Wen Mang who updates every week. Let's continue to talk about history today.

This week, while eating Xi'an's Shuipen mutton and Roujiamo, the UP host also briefly reviewed the previous videos. The previous video was a conclusion of the early Tang Dynasty.

Although the history of the Wu Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty is also very exciting and complicated, let's take a break today and look at the Han and Tang Dynasties from a different perspective.

Today, let's talk about something lighter, forget about the kings, generals, ministers and prime ministers for the time being, and talk about the giant hand that has been pushing history but is easily overlooked:

Climate environment. 】

Hearing the familiar voice of the younger generation again, Liu Bei felt a little bit of emotion for a moment. He wanted to show off to the younger generation as soon as possible. He successfully recovered Chang'an, successfully resisted Cao at Tongguan, and even successfully prevented the traitors from succeeding and the villains from succeeding.

These complicated feelings were melted on the small piece of paper in front of him. Liu Bei planned to imitate Kong Ming's previous actions and throw it in.

But soon the words floating on the light screen made his movements stiff.

〖Okay, okay, the dirty Tang stinky man is finally coming, right? I'm so happy!

Although, this word in Dream of Red Mansions was first used to refer to the Han and Tang clansmen having sex, and whether this word is self-deprecating is still debatable

Indeed, after all, since the Song Dynasty, the constraints on women have become more and more severe, and the atmosphere has become more conservative. From another perspective, the dirty Tang stinky man can be regarded as a kind of praise for the open atmosphere of men and women in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

But if we talk about the environment, it can also be regarded as the dirty Tang stinky man. After all, why did Tang Chang'an move to another place? Wasn't it because the groundwater in the old Chang'an was mixed with that?

Li Shimin: After several years of operation, has Zhuge Wuhou already destroyed Sun and Cao at home and established connections with the Western Regions?
