Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

Outside the city of Xiangyang, several carriages, escorted by a group of soldiers, were heading towards Sima Hui's Zhuangzi.

In one of the very grand carriages, Liu Jue was sitting in it, and today he went to see Sima Hui because today was Sima Hui's birthday.

Liu Jue still respects this Jingzhou celebrity very much, and among Sima Hui's friends, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, are all very famous people.

This time, Liu Jue went with him, of course, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, both of whom were also guided by Sima Hui, and they can be regarded as a teacher-student relationship.

Outside Sima Hui's Zhuangzi, there were several house slaves standing to welcome guests, and when they saw this large group of soldiers and horses, as well as a few carriages behind, their faces were full of caution.

The house slaves glanced at each other, and one of them stubbornly stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask which distinguished guest it is?"

"Liu Jue!"

In the carriage, Liu Jue's voice came out, and then he stepped out of the carriage and stood in front of the house slaves, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong behind also got out of the carriage.

Liu Jue has been in a high position all the year round, and the momentum exuded from his body is enough to make ordinary people bow down, and the house slaves took a step back, their faces full of shock.

It is impossible for the house slaves not to have heard the name of Liu Jue, the current Jingzhou Mu and Zhennan generals, attacked Cheng Wuhou, and is a figure who dominates the party, they never thought that today's birthday of their master, the lord of Jingzhou actually came in person.

"General, please come in!"

The house slave hurriedly greeted Liu Jue, saw Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong behind him, turned his head to his companion and said, "Go and report to the master, just say that General Zhennan, Mr. Shiyuan, and Mr. Kong Ming have arrived." "

Another house slave nodded hurriedly and hurried into the Zhuangzi.

Liu Jue ordered the guards to stay outside, and he took a few personal guards, united with Zhuge Liang and Pang, followed the house slaves into Zhuangzi, and went straight to the outside of the hall.

As soon as he walked to the gate, Sima Hui greeted him and said to Liu Jue: "I don't know if the general is coming, I missed the welcome, forgive my sins!"

Liu Jue smiled slightly and said, "Mr. is too polite, I am uninvited today, and it is me who should be forgiven." "

Sima Hui smiled and said, "The general is too polite. "

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in the back also stepped forward to bow and said, "I've seen Mr. Shuijing." "

Sima Hui nodded and said, "General, Shi Yuan, and Kong Ming, please sit inside." "

So under the leadership of Sima Hui, the three of them walked into the hall together, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and others had already arrived, and they were getting together to chat, in addition to Pang Degong's son Pang Shanmin.

Sima Hui is a hermit, even if it is his birthday, he only invites three or five friends, everyone has a small gathering, and he will not make a big deal like others.

Today's arrival of Liu Jue is already a very surprise.

When Liu Jue saw Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, he didn't wait for the two to salute, and said with the courtesy of a junior: "I've seen Mr. Pang, Mr. Huang." "

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also stepped forward to meet the two celebrities.

Everyone is a relative, Huang Chengyan is Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, Pang Shanmin is Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law, Pang Tong is Pang Degong's nephew, and Huang Chengyan is Liu Jue's brother-in-law.

Huang Chengyan grinned and said, "It turns out that the distinguished guest has arrived, Decao, even General Zhennan came to congratulate you on your birthday, your face is quite big!"

Sima Hui said with a smile: "The arrival of General Zhennan was also unexpected by me, otherwise I would definitely have to go out to greet him." "

After everyone greeted each other, Liu Jue asked his entourage to take out a wooden box, and said to Sima Hui with a smile: "Mr. Shuijing is a hermit, and Mr. will definitely not like ordinary yellow and white things." The younger generation thought about it, and there was only a few books to give. "

There is a saying called 'poetry and book heirloom', not to mention the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, giving books is not only shabby, but a very valuable gift, especially for hermits like Sima Hui.

"Books?"

All the eyes of everyone fell on the wooden box in Liu Jue's hand, and they all showed a look of surprise, how many books can such a small wooden box hold?

I'm afraid I can't fit a single Analect.

"Thank you for the generous gift from the general!" Sima Hui also showed doubts, but this was Liu Jue's gift, and he had to accept it whether it was good or bad.

Although Sima Hui is a hermit, he is very tactful in his life, and he never speaks ill of others.

"Sir, you might as well open it and take a look. Liu Jue said with a smile.

Opening a gift in front of a guest is an impolite act, but since Liu Jue has said it, Sima Hui's heart is also moving, is there something else in this wooden box?

Sima Hui immediately opened the wooden box and saw the contents of the box, Rao was well-informed, and he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.

"This ......"

Sima Hui picked up the contents of the box, and Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong cast their eyes one after another, and saw that it was a booklet bound with paper and the Analects written on the cover.

"What is this?" Pang Degong was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

Huang Chengyan was more direct, and got up directly and came over.

Sima Hui opened the Analects and saw that his expression gradually became solemn, and as he opened the pages one by one, the solemnity had turned into shock.

Huang Chengyan was no better, as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly took out a copy of Spring and Autumn from the box and flipped through it.

If the use of paper instead of bamboo slips and binding them into books surprised the two, then the fonts on the books were neat and neat, and the handwriting of the same character was exactly the same, which made them feel shocked.

When Pang Degong saw the expressions of the two, he couldn't hold it back, and he also got up and came over, and when he saw the paper books in the hands of the two, he looked incredulous.

Pang Shanmin was curious, and he also came over, and then his expression changed, just like Pang Degong.

Soon the four of them each had a book in their hands, and they stood there and flipped through it, their faces were shocked or shocked, as if everyone was fighting with swords and guns, but you suddenly had an airplane cannon, and the shock could not be described in words.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were smiling, without the slightest surprise, because before this, they had all had this expression.

After a while, Sima Hui and the four of them finished reading the book in their hands, but they did not sober up because of this, but were still immersed in shock.

Liu Jue smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Shuijing, I don't know about my gift, are you still satisfied?"

Sima Hui stroked the book and said in shock: "This gift is too heavy! Dare to ask the general, how much does this book cost, and why is the handwriting on it almost identical?"

Liu Jue smiled faintly: "The cost of this paper book is less than half a gold, and the handwriting on it is carved into small seals, and then typeset in order, and finally printed on paper." A skilled craftsman can make a book in less than an hour, and the paper of this book is specially treated to prevent insect damage. "

"The cost is less than half a gold, and you can make a copy in an hour!" Huang Chengyan looked a little out of shape, his tone increased a few points, and the father and son of Pang Degong on the side were also not much better.
