At this time, Chen Deng would silently slow down his eating speed, in order not to hurt his father's strong self-esteem, but his father was so smart, how could he not notice Chen Deng's actions?

Everyone maintained their previous habits in such a tacit understanding, but because of this, Chen Deng suddenly realized that his father was really old, so old that he had to change the habits that he had maintained for nearly 30 years, and became an old man who needed to accommodate his son, who was used to being beaten and scolded on weekdays, in order to maintain his dignity.

I don't know if Chen Qicha didn't notice the complicated changes in his son's heart at this time, he just smiled and said to Chen Deng: "If you want to say that this Liu Bei is really a dragon among people, it's a pity that his background is too low, just like a dragon trapped in the shallows, he has no ability, but it is difficult to show it." ”

Chen Qi sighed with emotion in his heart, for this Liu Bei, he had a sense of heroic pity, because what happened to him was similar to what happened when he started from scratch?

It's just that his luck is better, the world at that time was not as chaotic as it is now, so he was able to develop slowly and achieve his current achievements.

Chen Qi said: "In today's era, if a person from a humble background wants to get ahead and gain identity and status, it is easy to say that it is easy to say, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult to go to the sky. ”

"The reason why I say that is because troubled times are both an obstacle and an opportunity, like talented generals, if it is not for troubled times, it will be difficult to play to their strengths, but if it is a person who lacks this talent, it is too difficult to make a career."

"And that Liu Bei seems to realize this, he knows what he is lacking, and he can also seize the opportunity to find a way to make up for what he lacks."

When Chen Qi said this, he deliberately stopped and sold a pass.

Sure enough, after listening to his father Chen Jue's introduction, Chen Deng also had a strong interest in this person named Liu Bei, and seeing that his father did not continue, he couldn't wait to ask: "What is that method?" ”

Chen Qi smiled, looked at Chen Deng and asked, "Yuanlong, if you are Liu Bei and want to make a career in this troubled world, what should you do?" ”

It turned out that Chen Jue wanted to test his son, he was such a person, thinking about how to improve his son's intelligence all the time, which was really good

It's painstaking.

After hearing this, Chen Deng thought about it seriously, and while touching his chin, he said to himself: "The way of heaven is like a bow and a bow!" The higher ones suppress it, the lower ones lift it, the surplus loses it, the insufficient ones are with it, and the way of heaven loses more than enough to make up for the shortcomings. Humanity is not, the damage is insufficient, and the sacrifice is more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world? There is only one who is the Taoist. ”

These words of Chen Deng are from "Lao Tzu", which means: The way of heaven is like an arrow shot on a bow, if the string position is high, it should be lowered, and if the string position is low, it will be raised.

When there is more, it must be detracted, and when it is insufficient, it must be made up. The way of heaven is more than detracted, and it is used to make up for the shortage. But this is not the case with the way of man, which always detracts from what is insufficient, and uses what is in surplus.

Who can use the surplus to make up for the lack of the world, only those who can observe the way of the heavens and the way of the heavens can do it.

Chen Deng said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized: "I understand, since there are deficiencies in my ability, I should use the strength of others to make up for it, this is the method that 'people with Taoism' should use!" ”

After hearing this, Chen Qi touched his beard and smiled with satisfaction, obviously, he was very satisfied with this son's answer.

At this time, Chen Deng suddenly thought of one thing, and asked his father: "Then father, since this Liu Bei understands the principle of 'borrowing momentum', whose 'potential' did he use?" ”

Chen Qi touched his beard and smiled: "Hehe, of course it's his brother!" ”

Chen Deng asked, "Brother? So, their brother is very talented, isn't he? ”

Chen Qi smiled and shook his head.

Chen Deng was puzzled and asked, "Isn't it?" So his brother is very powerful, right? ”

Chen Qi shook his head again.

At this time, Chen Deng was even more confused, and said to himself: "This is not, that is not either, so what kind of momentum is Liu Bei borrowing?" ”

Chen Qi stroked his beard and explained: "Yuanlong, you have been following me all the time, you lack the opportunity to go out to practice, you know very little about the outside world, and you don't know that there are other ways to establish deep ties between people in addition to blood relations." ”

Chen Deng asked curiously

"The child doesn't know, please ask your father for advice!" ”

Chen Qi touched his beard and said: "This Liu Bei, from a humble background, although he has the blood of the Han family, how can his family decline, and he can only make a living by weaving mats and selling shoes, but even so, he still has not forgotten his identity, and is determined to become a person who saves the country, it seems that fate is also destined for this person to succeed, so that he got acquainted with two heroes with excellent martial arts, and worshipped them as brothers of the opposite sex, and Liu Bei borrowed the momentum, which is the ability of these two brothers of the opposite sex!" ”

Chen Qi continued: "When the Yellow Turban Army was in turmoil, Liu Bei and his two brothers emerged and made contributions, but unfortunately because of their low status, they were not reused by the imperial court and have been buried in a small county town. ”

After hearing his father Chen Jue's explanation, Chen Deng couldn't help but be amazed, not only because he learned about a buried hero like Liu Bei, but also because he was surprised by the information his father had collected, he even knew a person who was still unknown so clearly, in such a comparison, he was really dwarfed, and even such an important matter had been missed, what else to talk about revitalizing the Chen family?

However, Chen Qi didn't blame Chen Deng, and didn't care about his misjudgment this time, and continued to say to his son Chen Deng: "Although this Liu Bei is still unwilling, he doesn't have that ability, but just lacks a stage to show him his ability. ”

Chen Deng's heart jumped, and he suddenly realized something, and he asked loudly: "Father, do you want to ......?"

Chen Qi put his finger to his mouth and motioned for Chen Deng not to make a sound.

Chen Deng reacted immediately and took his words back.

Chen Qi closed his eyes, nodded slowly, and admitted his son's thoughts.

Chen Deng's heart was beating, he didn't expect his father to make such a big move.

He has always thought that his strategy is similar to that of his father, but in fact, whether it is a long-term vision or a plan for the interests of the family, it is far better than him.

He finally understood why his father Chen Qi inquired about Liu Bei's situation so clearly.
