For me, rather than spending my whole life editing books in the Hanlin Academy, I would rather follow Your Majesty at all times and serve him at his beck and call.
If necessary, I can even offer some advice to Your Majesty. Isn't that a pleasure?"
Huo Guang was slightly surprised. "So that's your plan. Then I, the general, would like to congratulate you. Your plan has been accomplished.
But, as a horse breeder, are you not afraid of death when you offer advice to His Majesty?"
Yu Qian said: "I am afraid, of course I am afraid, but everyone is mortal since ancient times.
As long as I feel that I have died a worthy death, that is all that matters."
Hearing the voice, Huo Guang just nodded, said nothing more, then jumped on his horse and chased in the direction the emperor left.
The generals behind him also followed closely.
Yu Qian was running behind.
On the way, Dong Zhuo said to Huo Guang, "Yu Qian is a good candidate, but unfortunately, he seems a bit stubborn.
He is a scholar and will definitely be a civil servant in the future. Civil servants are not like us military generals, who have tougher personalities and are more pleasing to Your Majesty.
Civil officials who are too rigid are easily broken! "
The latter agreed and said, "Since he has established a relationship with Prime Minister Cai, or is appreciated by Prime Minister Cai, then these troublesome matters can be left to Prime Minister Cai to solve."
As soon as the words fell, the two smiled at each other.
Most of the soldiers on this trip were riding horses.
Even the soldiers on foot have physical strength far beyond that of ordinary people.
Therefore, even when wearing heavy armor, they can run more persistently and faster than ordinary people.
This resulted in an extremely embarrassing situation.
Yu Qian was left far behind by everyone.
He wanted to run forward to catch up, but after running a few steps, he was out of breath and exhausted.
It was not until he could no longer see the soldiers that he began to feel a little panic in his heart.
This is the wild.
There are countless tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves.
How could he, a mere scholar, cope with this?
Just then, he suddenly saw a rider coming from a distance.
Yu Qian immediately waved his hands.
"I'm here to take you along on General Huo's orders!"
When the soldier came to her, he began to speak.
Hearing this, Yu Qian said, "Thank General Huo for me."
The soldier smiled and said, "But General Huo also said that before taking you away from here, he has a few questions to ask you."
Yu Qian sweated profusely and said, "Please speak."
The soldier nodded and said, "First question, General Huo asked me to ask you, are you a scholar?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be working as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy."
"Second question, among the hundreds of schools of thought, which one did you study?"
"I mainly study Confucianism, but I also have some knowledge of military science and legalism."
"My third question, General Huo, is, since you're a Confucian scholar, have you learned the Six Arts of a Gentleman?"
Hearing this, Yu Qian shook his head and said with a hint of shame, "I only read books, but have never delved into the six arts of a gentleman."
"General Huo said that seeing how weak you are physically, you must not have learned the Six Arts of a Gentleman. If you can't even learn the Six Arts of a Gentleman, how can you be considered a true Confucian scholar?
General Huo also said that since he didn't know the six arts of a gentleman, he should pick up the things left by his ancestors during his time at the border. Civil officials can also learn martial arts.
Hear what these soldiers said.
Yu Qian immediately understood.
Why did Huo Guang ask him to turn back and pick him up?
It turned out that Huo Guang wanted to test how he, as a civil official, viewed military generals.
Yu Qian had long heard about the fierce struggles between the civil and military factions in the court.
I didn't expect to meet you here.
Civil officials can practice martial arts.
This sentence clearly wants me to make a choice.
To be a pure civil official or a civil official who is close to military generals.
Thinking of this, Yu Qian suddenly realized that although Huo Guang was the leader of the four generals, he was, after all, a man of both civil and military talents!
Could it be that General Huo Guang was going to...
Make yourself the second Huo Guang?
