Thus, Ding Huai puffed out his chest and said to Zuo Ci,"Master, I want to learn martial arts, medical skills, the art of war, and the art of the emperor. Please teach me.”
Zuo Ci secretly nodded in his heart. He thought that it was just as he had guessed. This kid was indeed ambitious and worthy of teaching. These four skills were four of the five most essential skills in the 'Heavenly Book of Dunjia' that he had completed. The other skill was Qimen Dunjia, which Zuo Ci called the 'Five Unique Skills of Dunji'. Hence, he said to Ding Huai,"In that case, I will do my best to teach you these four skills. From tomorrow onwards, I will teach you martial arts and medicine. Two years later, I will teach you the art of war and the art of the emperor. However, you must not tell anyone about the art of the emperor that I have taught you. Otherwise, you will definitely be killed.”
Of course, Ding Huai understood what Zuo Ci meant. When he thought about how his master had actually considered everything for him, he felt very grateful and quickly nodded in agreement.
To put it bluntly, the art of the Emperor was about how to be the Emperor, how to control the ministers, and how to govern the country. This was the Emperor's unique ability. Ding Huai was only a commoner now, so how could he have the qualifications to learn the Emperor's arts? Once word got out, he would definitely be labeled as a rebel. If it was light, he would be beheaded, and if it was severe, he would be punished with nine families.
The next day, at the training grounds of the Provincial Governor's Estate.
Ding Yuan was originally a military general, but after he became a big official, he turned to literature. However, he never put aside his martial arts, so he specially opened a martial arts field in the Provincial Governor's Estate.
Zuo Ci said to Ding Huai," From today onwards, I will begin to teach you martial arts. Among the commonly used weapons, there are knives, spears, halberds, spears, axes, hammers, and so on. Huai 'er, which one do you want to learn?"”Ever since he became a teacher, Zuo Ci had addressed Ding Huai as Huai 'er, just like Ding Huai's parents.
Ding Huai couldn't help but think of the martial arts used by many fierce generals during the Three Kingdoms Era. It seemed that there were only these four kinds of weapons, mainly knives and spears.
The famous swordsmen were Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang, Gan Ning, Xu Chu, Pang De, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Sun Jian, Zhou Tai, Hua Xiong, and Wei Yan. The famous generals who used spears were Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun, Sun Ce, and Zhang Xiu. There were fewer famous generals who used spears, such as Zhang Fei, Wen Chou, and Cheng Pu. Although there weren't many who used halberds, there were the strongest in the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu, and the second strongest, Dian Wei, as well as Taishi Ci and Ji Ling. There was also Yan Ming, who wasn't very strong. There were even fewer people who used axes. It seemed like only Xu Huang and Pan Feng used axes. There were even fewer war-wielding generals. Wu Anguo of the North Sea seemed to be the only one among the Three Kingdoms.
Of course, other than these weapons, there were also other weapons. For example, Gongsun Zan used a lance, Huang Gai used an iron whip, and Liu Bei used two swords. Perhaps it was because he yearned for the martial arts of the number one general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu, Ding Huai finally chose the halberd after some consideration. He said to Zuo Ci,"Master, I want to learn the halberd technique."”
Zuo Ci nodded and said," Among the sabers, spears, halberds, spears, axes, and hammers, the halberds and hammers are the most difficult to learn. However, once you master them, their power is the greatest. Huai 'er, since you have chosen to learn the halberd technique, you will need to work hard and not give up halfway.”
Ding Huai repeatedly agreed and then asked,"Master, if I can master it, how would I compare to my sworn brother Lu Bu?”
Zuo Ci sighed slightly." Although I have never seen Lu Bu fight, just from his aura alone, I can conclude that there is almost no one in the world who can surpass him." Even if I teach you everything, Huai 'er, you're definitely not his match.”
After hearing Zuo Ci's words, Ding Huai thought to himself that Lu Bu was indeed impressive. Even though he had learned from Zuo Ci, he still could not defeat him in the end. He could not help but feel a little disappointed.
When Zuo Ci saw Ding Huai's expression, he was afraid that it would dampen his enthusiasm and affect his progress in martial arts in the future. He quickly advised,"Huai 'er, you don't have to worry. Although you can't beat Lu Bu, you won't lose to him for at least five hundred rounds. At that time, I'm afraid that there are only two or three people in the world who are better than you in martial arts.”
Ding Huai was overjoyed. Five hundred rounds. Among the generals of the three countries, there were probably only three or four people who could last five hundred rounds against Lu Bu. With such martial arts, wouldn't they be able to dominate the three countries? There was no need for him to want to surpass Lu Bu. Moreover, if he could recruit a group of fierce generals in the future, there was no need for him to do it himself.
When he thought of this, Ding Huai could not help but feel relieved. He no longer had any other thoughts and began to focus on learning all kinds of skills from Zuo Ci.
Ding Huai's aptitude was already quite high, and with the addition of two thousand years of knowledge, Ding Huai's learning was unusually easy. This greatly surprised Zuo Ci. He felt that it was not a pity for him to give up several years of cultivation time. Instead, he was often happy to have such an outstanding successor.
When Ding Huai was learning martial arts, medical skills, the art of war, and the art of the emperor from Zuo Ci, he could not forget the many beautiful women who had been immortalized in the Three Kingdoms Era, especially those who had a tragic fate. Ding Huai was determined to do his best to change their fate and give them a good home.
Although his body was only ten years old, Ding Huai's mentality was far from what a ten-year-old could compare to.
With this thought in mind, Ding Huai decided that the first person he would save was the mother of Emperor Xian of Han, Beauty Wang.
Beauty Wang's original name was Wang Mian. She was from the State of Zhao. Her grandfather, Wang Bao, was a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Wang Mian entered the palace in 180 AD, when she was only 16 years old.
In the 12th month of the year when Wang Mian entered the palace, the Han Ling Emperor was pressured by the eunuchs and made the noble He the Empress. However, Empress He was arrogant and domineering, and was naturally jealous. This caused Empress He to be not favored by the Ling Emperor.
In contrast to Empress He, Beauty Wang's appearance brought a fresh breeze to the life of Emperor Han Ling's harem. Her gorgeous appearance, beautiful virtue, and the elegance of a lady from a noble family, especially her talented and elegant aura, were incomparable to other concubines. Writing Fu and painting made their lives full of poetry and painting.
All of this made Empress He hate Beauty Wang even more.
When Empress He was conferred the title, Beauty Wang had just gotten pregnant. Worried that her position would be threatened, Empress He stepped up her persecutions of Beauty Wang.
Beauty Wang was worried that Empress He's jealousy would bring misfortune to her and the child in her belly, so she tried to abort the fetus, but she did not succeed.
In March 181, Beauty Wang really gave birth to a prince. He was the later Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie.
Liu Xie's birth brought more panic to Empress He, so she poisoned Beauty Wang without any scruples.
Although Empress He's actions were extremely confidential, the Spirit Monarch quickly found out the murderer. In his anger, he decided to abolish Empress He. However, because of the pleas of many eunuchs, he did not dare to punish Empress He in the end.
However, facing Prince Liu Xie, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty often missed the considerate Beauty Wang. He recalled the scene of the two of them singing poems in the past. He wrote "Zhui De Fu" and "Ling Yi Song" to recall the virtues and good manners of Beauty Wang. His feelings were lingering and he was like crying.
Before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, he entrusted the wish of establishing Liu Xie to Jian Shuo, who was in power. It was a confession to his beloved Beauty Wang.
Although Madam He had kept the empress's phoenix crown, it could be seen from Emperor Han Ling's longing for Beauty Wang that Empress He had lost the heart of Emperor Han Ling forever.
Counting her age, Wang Mian should be fourteen years old this year, four years older than Ding Huai. If this age difference was in modern society, it might be difficult for many people to accept it. However, in ancient times, it was very normal for a wife to be older than her husband. There was also the phenomenon of "having a big wife and a small husband".
However, how could he get what he wanted? Ding Huai racked his brain. He didn't even know where Wang Mian was, so Ding Huai really couldn't think of any good ideas. After much thought, Ding Huai finally came up with a brilliant idea, but he still needed his father's help.
