Previously narrowed and humbled, cautious. Now the territory is 100 miles, and the soldiers are strong and strong. Liu Bei wanted to meet the mysterious Xia Lao for a while.

Then he said to Su Bo: Come with me tomorrow to meet Xia Lao.

Su Bo nodded slightly: "Whew."

The white jade must be brought. There is also a thorn who can fly the eaves and walk the wall, and he has already tightly controlled the third uncle's blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop is located in the lower reaches of Qingxi in the southeast. Before the mouth of the White Lake, adjacent to the dock. This area is a place where Lou Sang workshops are concentrated. The water pressure and water pressure are on the left and right banks. Thanks to an extensive underground pipe network. The high-hardness pottery pipe forged by sprinkling copper and iron ore powder, after the workshop sewage is precipitated by the sedimentation tank, is discharged to the ditch, which will not pollute the Qingxi Baihu. At this time, the sewage was much cleaner than the chemical sewage of later generations. This is also the reason why Liu Bei does not want to build a paper workshop. Papermaking is also very polluting.

Xia Lao is the foreman. The craftsmen of the third uncle's blacksmith shop are all headed by him.

Liu Bei walked into the blacksmith shop and saw Xia Lao observing the fire in front of the furnace. How to judge the temperature of the flame with the naked eye is a secret that is not passed on by a good craftsman. Liu Bei doesn't need to know.

Su Bo was about to call, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

After a long time, when Xia Lao got up, Liu Bei stepped forward and saluted: Bei has seen Xia Lao.

Xia Lao also returned the gift: If the young prince wants to see the old man, just send someone to summon him. Why do you need to be there in person?

Liu Bei smiled: Xia Lao Gaoshi. Be prepared to come as a pro-person.

Xia Lao nodded and asked Liu Bei to speak in the back hall.

The blacksmith shop is built on the waterfront, and the backyard is the front hall. Liu Bei was a guest seat, and Xia Lao was in the east seat.

Aside from the idle people, Liu Bei asked: Dare to ask Xia Laogao's name?

Old Xia sighed: The old man is Xia Fu.

Xia Fu, the word Zizhi, is a native of Chen Liuyu County. Famous people in the world. Erudite and knowledgeable, not a powerful person, and hated by the wealthy family. The imperial court is not recruited, and he is in seclusion. It has a high reputation among scholars and doctors, and is one of the "Eight Looks".

When he was young, he was a scholar, and his words and deeds were straightforward. The Gao family and the Cai family in the same county are all rich, and the people of the county are afraid of them and serve them carefully. Only Xia Fu lived with Gao and Cai, but he never interacted with them, so he was hated by the two wealthy surnames. In the early years of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, he was recommended because of his outspokenness and should not be recruited. Although Xia Fu did not associate with the eunuchs, he was feared by the eunuchs because of his fame, and Fan Fan, Zhang Jian and others were falsely accused by the eunuchs, and the imperial court issued an edict to the state and county to be arrested as the party leader.

Xia Fu, Zhang Jian and others fled for their lives, and wherever they passed, everyone who came into contact with them was arrested and questioned. Implicated people are all over the world. Xia Fu sighed suddenly: "The sin was done by himself, it was in vain to burden a good person, one person escaped to death, and it affected ten thousand families, what are you doing alive!" So he cut off his beard, changed his appearance, and went to the mountains to hide his name, and became a servant of the smelter. Dealing with chimney and charcoal all day long, the appearance is disfigured, and after two or three years, no one can recognize it.

Brother Xia Jing, chased to Nieyang City by car. I couldn't recognize Xia Fu even after touching him. Hearing the sound of talking, he knew that the old man in front of him was Xia Fu. He bowed down to Xia Fu, but Xia Fu avoided it and did not talk to him. Xia Jing chased him to the house and slept with Xia Fu. That night, Xia Fu quietly woke up Xia Jing: "I was framed by the eunuch because I kept the right path and hated evil. Now I just want to save my life, why did my brother come to me with a silk! This is a disaster for me! "I will leave at dawn.

I don't want to come to my Lou Sang.

Liu Bei solemnly bowed again: Forgive Liu Bei for his clumsiness, he didn't know that it was Xia Gong!

Xia Fu replied: The old man is incognito, because he doesn't want to be recognized. How can you blame the young prince? I want to thank you, and it is also the grace of the old man Xie Shaojun to take him in. That day, I said goodbye to my brother without saying goodbye. It coincided with the Liu clan's people coming to Nanyang to recruit smelters. I applied and arrived at Lousang with all the craftsmen.

I see.

As one of the "Eight Gus", Liu Bei said bluntly: Xia Gong is a disciple of Momen?

Xia Fu nodded and said, "Yes." When the disaster of the party was born, I took the trouble of Lin Weishan (the name of the mountain) and worked as a smelting domestic servant. During this period, he became an inker.

It turned out that he joined Momen in Nanyang. Liu Bei's heart moved, could it be that Nanyang is where Momen is located.

Think about it. Du Shi, who invented the water drain, isn't it Nanyang Taishou. The great inventor Zhang Heng is also a native of Nanyang!

Nanyang has many good works. In other words, Momen had already risen in the shadows of Nanyang.

When he looked up again, he saw Xia Fu staring at him. Liu Bei said: Dare to ask Xia Gong, is it just a coincidence that he came to Lou Sang?

Xia Fu nodded first, and then shook his head: This was indeed the case before. Now that he has seen the methods of the young monarch, he has other ideas. Tower cranes, ladders, boats, wheel boats. It is a master craftsman who is also amazed. And I don't know where the method created by the young prince and marquis came from?

Liu Bei replied: I saw the ancestors from the book, drawing inferences from one another, and using the past for the present.

Xia Fu nodded happily: Good for the past. The Mo family comes from hundreds of schools. After Mozi's death, the Mo family was divided into three branches, known as the 'Three Sects of the Mo Family'. There are the ink of Xiangli's, the ink of Deng Ling's, and the ink of Xiangfu's. After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the two Han Dynasty continued. The three factions of the Mo family gradually merged into two branches. One is clear and one is hidden. One lives in the court, and the other is scattered in the rivers and lakes. The wise man is called 'Shimo'. The hermit is obsessed with craftsmanship and is called 'craftsman ink'. For example, Zhang Heng and Du Shishi are all 'Shimo'. And we are all hidden sect 'craftsmen'. Whether it is the Ming Sect or the Hidden Sect, there are ink masters, ink debaters, and ink heroes.

Liu Bei understood: In this way, the Momen Hidden Sect is not in the court?

Xia Fu paused: That's right. We gathered in the feudal town of the young monarch and the marquis, not to be from the young prince, but to be obsessed with the craftsmanship of the machine.

Liu Bei nodded: So, very good.

Xia Fu asked again: Can the young prince take me in?

Liu Bei pointed to the sky and swore that if everything was as Xia Gong said, the disciples of the Yin Sect would be obsessed with craftsmanship. Do not scatter the ink theory (Mohist doctrine), do not fight for the world. Don't harbor suspicions, and do other wrongdoings. It is beneficial to the people and respects its neighbors. Liu Bei is thoughtful as a protector.

Xia Fu bowed solemnly and said: Young master.

Seeing that Su Bo, who had always called himself 'Young Owner', also changed his name to 'Young Master' at this time. Liu Bei realized that Su Bo was also an ink artist.

Liu Bei sighed and said with a smile: How hard it is for Su Bo to hide from me.

Su Bo worshipped again: Everyone knows the benevolence and righteousness of the young master. However, it is a matter of life and death, and it must be cautious and repeated. Please forgive me.

Liu Bei stayed down and helped him up.

This drove Xia Fu to the academy and recognized him in the secret room with his teacher and others.

I heard that it was the summer Fu of the Eight Looks, and the teachers and Confucians all burst into tears. I don't want to be a young man who used to be a scholar, but now his appearance is ruined and he can't bear to look at it directly.

Now the party is still unresolved.

This spring, the court held a ceremony to pray for rain (name: big goose).

In leap May, Cao Luan, the Taishou of Yongchang County, wrote: "The so-called party members, some of whom are old and virtuous, and some of whom are handsome and virtuous among scholars, should assist the royal family and participate in the major decisions of the imperial court under the influence of His Majesty." However, he was imprisoned for a long time, not allowed to be an official, and was even expelled to a muddy area, where he was humiliated. If you have committed the grave crime of rebellion and rebellion, and can still be pardoned by Your Majesty, what sin can you have in the party that you alone cannot be forgiven? This is the reason why disasters occur frequently in the world, floods and droughts one after another. Your Majesty should bestow grace in accordance with the will of Heaven. ”

After Emperor Ling finished reading the recital, he was furious. Immediately issued an edict, ordering Si Li and the Yizhou government to arrest Cao Luan, escort him to Luoyang, Kyoto, in a prisoner car, and torture him to death. He also ordered the state and county governments to re-investigate party members, students, disciples, old subordinates, fathers, sons, and brothers, and all those who were in office were dismissed from their posts and imprisoned, and they were not allowed to serve as officials again. The scourge of the party then expanded to include relatives within the five uniforms of the party members' families.

The second party has made a comeback. At this time, it was inconvenient for Xia Fu to announce his real name to the public.

So Liu Bei, under the witness of his mentor Daru and Su Bo and other hidden sect members, worshiped Xia Fu as his family order.

Family Order, a royal subordinate official of the Han Dynasty, was in charge of family affairs, and the vassal states also set up this position.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Xianbei": "The Hou of the Deer did not listen to it, so he abandoned it." The wife whispered to the family order to adopt Yan, whose name was Tan Shi Huai. "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Zhi, Dong Zhuo's Biography": "Zhuo moved to the country, sealed the Marquis of Yi, praised and worshipped the unknown, went to the palace with a sword, and named Zhuo's mother as Chiyang Jun, and placed a family order and Cheng. ”

That's what I'm talking about.

It is the same as Jiacheng, and he receives thousands of stones.
