It is not surprising that the 28-year-old Liu Bei previously lacked sensitivity and vigilance against the central political struggle of the imperial court.

Who made him too young and never been a Beijing official for even a day.

This also led to the fact that Liu Bei's overall governance experience in his life was always less comprehensive than Cao Cao's in history. (But Liu Bei also has an advantage, that is, he is more down-to-earth, and he knows what the bottom needs after hardship)

As the saying goes, "you have to bow down to this matter", this kind of shortcoming can only be made up for by experiencing it yourself, and you can't expect the strategist to listen to it when you talk to you about the precautions. So even if Li Su persuades him, he can't do it for him.

To be a good founder of the country, rooted in the local grassroots, have endured hardships, and stood in the court to see the overall vision, these three points must not be neglected, and the more comprehensive the knowledge, the better.

Thankfully, it's not too late.

was continuously advised by Zhuge and Li Su; After being splashed with dirty water by Jiao He and warned by Zheng Tai, the quadruple baptism finally made Liu Bei correct his attitude and prepare for entering Beijing.

Don't ask for a long time to be a Beijing official, at least temporarily show that he has "no ambition and is dedicated to the country", so that the imperial court can investigate and investigate clearly, and wait for the time.

With Li Su's operation, I believe that I will be released from prison in a few months, oh, I will not return to the place.

Liu Bei never found that he had become so cherished every day he stayed in the local area, and wanted to do more things before Li Su replied to the letter, and arrange the local work properly.

……

On the third day after Li Su followed Zheng Tai, Liu Bei personally took Zhang Fei and rushed back to Buqi Mountain at the junction of Beihai County and Donglai County with a very diligent attitude.

Originally, Liu Bei was not so concerned about "recruiting talents from all over Donglai and Beihai", and he did not necessarily do it himself. After all, these Zheng Xuan disciples are not "great sages" like Zhuge Liang in later generations, and they are not worthy of being repeatedly asked to see each other.

But time was in a hurry, so I had to lower my figure.

What remains in the North Sea, none of which is its own, must be organized with the possibility of "transshipment" at any time.

Buqi Mountain is located in the north of Jiaozhou Bay, that is, the mountains in the northwest of Qingdao Laoshan in later generations. Liu Bei had already sent troops here to protect him before, and he also sent hundreds of stones of grain, vegetables, pulp, and cloth and 100 horses, which changed the fate of Zheng Xuan's disciples who were starving and scattered because they couldn't buy food because of the shortage of soldiers.

The place where Zheng Xuan taught was a bamboo fence compound in a valley, the house was simple, Liu Bei rode a horse to the gate of the courtyard, and found someone to pass it on: "General Duliao, Xiangping Township, and Liu Bei, the leader of Liaodong, came to meet Mr. ”

Zheng Xuan soon greeted him personally: "The idlers in the mountains and fields, General Meng is in vain, and he really doesn't dare to be it." The general leveled the thieves and saved the people, so that one side returned to peace, and the people here have been praising for a long time. ”

Zheng Xuan also knew that Liu Bei was a little taboo when he came to Qingzhou, so he called him "general" very respectfully, highlighting the identity of General Liao and downplaying the Taishou of Liaodong.

Liu Bei hurriedly and modestly: "Gong Zheng and Master Lu were both employed by Ma Rong, and they were also employed by Master Lu, how dare they be treated with this courtesy." Protecting the territory and the people and killing thieves for the country is the duty of the general, so why worry about it. ”

Zhang Fei also hurriedly gave up his hand behind his back, trying to put on a few sentences.

It can be said that the real "Three Visits to the Thatched House" in history, if Liu Bei had to bring a righteous brother with him, most of them would choose to take Zhang Fei and not Guan Yu. Who made Guan Yu's attitude towards Baume & Mercier far more impatient than Zhang Fei.

If anyone really sees Zhuge Liang sleeping and wants to burn the thatched house, then Guan Yu has to make this fire.

After Zheng Xuan was polite, he asked diligently: "I don't know why the general is here." ”

After all, Liu Bei was just a "one-stop", and he hadn't written a letter to inform him before, so Zheng Xuan still had to ask.

Liu Bei arched his hand: "I know that Zheng Gong is noble, and he has repeatedly resigned from the imperial court, and he does not dare to disturb him with his official position." However, scholars must eventually apply what they have learned and help the people through the world. How can a loyal and upright person with strong blood and strength be empty and old under Lin Quan?

Prepared to guard Liaodong, deeply felt that after the war, the people's livelihood withered, no one was good at soothing the people, so he came to Zheng Gongmen, asking for one or two high feet for the people. If there are those who are willing to go out, they should make proper arrangements, and since they were appointed as Liaodong Taishou this year, they can cite three filial piety and honesty, and only two of them have been used so far. The rest of the probation quota has not been exhausted. ”

Now it is still the Lingdi Dynasty, and the last train of the inspection system is still quite valuable.

Although Liu Bei has just become the Taishou of Liaodong, he also holds the quota of filial piety in his hands!

In particular, Youzhou is a "preferential province for college entrance examination admission", which is half of the population requirement of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and every 100,000 people can cite one filial piety. Liu Bei made some moves and said that after the pacification of Liaodong, there were 300,000 people (actually more than 200,000), so he was ready to raise three people.

The previous two places were actually used up by Lu Su and Tian Chou respectively. After all, those old subordinates who follow him always have to be treated preferentially in advance.

The Han Dynasty didn't say that officials who were already in office couldn't be filial piety, and Lu Su, a loyal and honest person, was only because he lost his parents as an orphan when he was a child, and later his grandmother also died, and no one could be filial piety. But Liu Bei felt that Lu Su's character was okay, so he tried his best to raise it.

This kind of thing is estimated to be done by people like Liu Bei who don't care about "maximizing interests". Because lifting Lu Su is definitely not the most cost-effective, and after lifting it, there is no need to promote the number of rank stones, it is better to lift a white body to four hundred stones.

But who asked Liu Bei to talk about righteousness and true temperament, he felt that Lu Su had to be praised if he could, and if he lost a few stones, he would lose a few stones.

At that time, Lu Su was very embarrassed, and he was grateful to Liu Bei, and he was almost loyal to his father.

Tian Chou relied on Liu Bei's inspection to sit firmly on the county magistrate of Gaojuli with 400 stones, and he had nothing to say about his loyalty.

However, filial piety is not so attractive to the children of really top famous families - they have several channels to get filial piety, and they don't need to rely on such disgraceful means as "immigration", even if they stay in their hometown, they can be filial.

So as soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, he saw Cui Yan, the number one Wang clan under Zheng Xuan, with a cold face, and only the other people from a humble background were slightly moved.

Zheng Xuan observed the reactions of his disciples, and said with an indifferent smile: "I once recommended my disciple Sun Gan as a Beihai County official, and later accumulated merit for Xiami County.

The general is also a grace and fate to me, and all my disciples have become disciples, as long as they are willing to go out, I will never stop them. ”

Now it has been twenty days since Sun Gan was injured, but with such a serious injury, even if he is so serious that he can get out of bed and walk around, it is still inconvenient to travel hundreds of miles on the road.

Before coming this time, Sun Gan himself wanted to volunteer to help Liu Bei lead the way, but Liu Bei insisted on not letting him come and asked him to continue to recuperate. Zheng Xuan deliberately made this point clear, and he was also helping Liu Bei speak.

Some of the other disciples didn't know the news that Sun Qian was rescued by Liu Bei, but listening to the teacher's relay, they deepened their gratitude to Liu Bei.

"Sir, I am willing to serve General Liu, I don't know what Mr. thinks I am learning...... Can you get out of the mountain? A student named Guoyuan first asked Zheng Xuan earnestly.

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "Fu Min, your knowledge of scripture and righteousness has long been enough." As long as you have a good heart and are willing to work hard, you still have to learn by doing. ”

"I am also willing to work with my junior and younger brothers to practice practical learning." Another student, Xi Wei, also made a statement.

Subsequently, Cheng Bing and several other less famous disciples also agreed.

Those who are unwilling to follow Liu Bei are mainly Cui Yan and Zhang Yi and others.

Cui Yan is unwilling to immigrate to become an official in the future and wants to return to Jizhou.

Zhang Yi had other plans, and also told Liu Bei that he wanted to go directly to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, because he felt that Liu Yu was the most benevolent lord in the world, and Liu Bei had killed too much.

Of course, Liu Bei will not stop this kind of thought, no one will openly dig into the corner of his old leader. Liu Yu is so good to him, others want to vote for Liu Yu, of course Liu Bei is generous to pay for the journey.

He didn't know that in the original history, although this Zhang Yi did not make any achievements, his integrity was also commendable. He became Liu Yu's last driver before his death, and from this point of view, he can be regarded as Li Su's successor.

In the end, when Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yi also refused to surrender on the basis of reason, and was killed by Gongsun Zhan.

From this point of view, Zhang Yi is at least loyal.

After a whole day of maneuvering around Zheng Xuan's place, Liu Bei finally returned with a full load, and returned to Xiami with Guo Yuan, Xi Xian, Cheng Bing and a dozen other scholars, and asked Sun Qian to settle these talents first, familiarize himself with the situation, and wait for Liu Bei's own future to be clear after a while, and then talk about specific appointments.

……

The words are divided into two ends.

While Liu Bei was desperately searching for talents in Mount Tai and Beihai to prepare for the evacuation, Li Su followed Zheng Tai and almost rushed to Luoyang, about to report on behalf of Liu Bei and clarify the imperial court's misunderstanding of Liu Bei's "unauthorized cross-border troops".

The work of explaining the misunderstanding was also smooth, because when Li Su arrived, the seal of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu arrived two days earlier than him. The emperor, the ten permanent attendants, and the great general He Jin all knew the news.

As soon as Li Su explained a little, everyone believed that "this is just a misunderstanding caused by the poor communication between Qingzhou Thorn Shi and Youzhou Mu".

But eliminating misunderstandings is eliminating misunderstandings, there are some things, as long as the court is upset, it will definitely think about how to mobilize to increase the safety factor.

At the same time, as long as someone reminds He Jin, He Jin will definitely want to test "If Liu Bei is transferred, what kind of mentality will Liu Bei himself have, and will he complain because he was tossed for two or three months when he was just a Liaodong Taishou".

The center of the imperial court plays tricks on the magistrates, which is a phenomenon that can never disappear, and can only be adapted.

Li Su had just arrived in Beijing for two days, and he always felt that this wave of treacherous undercurrents was a bit abnormal, and he didn't grasp enough of the situation, so he couldn't help but secretly ask Zheng Tai, who came with him, what happened in the court and who was targeting Liu Bei.

But Zheng Tai's identity was inconvenient to say directly, and he didn't want to say it, so he pointed out a way for Li Su and asked him to ask Lu Zhi.

Zheng Tai also said that before Li Su went to Beijing to report on behalf of Liu Bei, Lu Zhi had already said a few good words for Liu Bei, which was regarded as guaranteeing Liu Bei's loyalty. If you want to help Liu Bei, let's find Lu Zhi.

Li Su had no choice but to visit Lu Zhi.
