Jianning year, July

Because of the establishment of the Jianning Stone Scripture, it has formed a literary style that swept the world, Cai Yong, He Xiu, Zheng Xuan and other great Confucian prestige is in full swing, and the students have arrived in Luoyang, wanting to worship Cai Yong as a teacher and learn orthodox Confucianism recognized by the imperial court.

They went to He Xiu's mansion again, wanting to worship He Xiu for loss, He Xiu was too old and not suitable for accepting apprentices as a reason, but he did not agree, and the rest of the Confucians, because they were from a big family, were afraid that large-scale collection of apprentices would cause the jealousy of the Son of Heaven, so naturally they did not dare to accept it, but Zheng Xuan was the only one, and those who came did not refuse, just because Liangzhou lacked grassroots officials, and these scholars came too timely.

Countless scholars flocked to Liangzhou, and they were placed under Zheng Xuan's door, becoming the apprentices of the great Confucian Ma Rong, and Lu Zhi like this, Lu Zhi was also because of the lack of officials in Hezhou, so he started the idea of accepting apprentices, he himself was also a disciple of the Great Confucian Ma Rong, in the Youzhou area, the reputation was louder than Zheng Xuan, so it attracted a lot of scholars from Youzhou and the state to study.

Youzhou, Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Yi Ting, Lou Sangli

The young man was comfortably leaning against a huge mulberry tree, surrounded by more than a dozen teenagers, they were kneeling around, looking at the young man leaning on the mulberry tree with some admiration, he said: "You have to think of a way to enter Zhuo County, where there are many merchants and traders, and there is a lot of oil and water."

"Big brother, although there are many of us, but the rangers in Zhuoxian County are all n men, we haven't established a crown yet, and we can't beat them, what can we do?" A young man asked suspiciously.

"Hey, if we can all get swords, dozens of long swords, they wouldn't dare fight us, it's just a pity" The young man said with a frown, among the young men, he was not the oldest, but a little biased, but his appearance was a little strange, his hands were over his knees, his ears were slightly larger, and his face was handsome and resolute.

"Why don't you get some money from the vendors in Lou Sang, and then think of getting a sword and killing Zhuo County?"

A tiger-headed young man was at the forefront, and asked with some doubts, and when the young man heard this, he slapped him on the forehead and scolded: "Lou Sangli is his own father and fellow villagers, bastard, you still want to move your own family?" The boy immediately lowered his head.

Many teenagers were discussing, and suddenly a teenager shouted in the distance: "Big brother, the mother of the clan called you!" ”

The young man raised his head, glanced indifferently at the distance, spit out the straw in his mouth, and said to everyone: "I'll go back first, I'll find a way." Everyone got up, bowed, said goodbye to the young man, the young man walked leisurely towards home, his surname is Liu Mingbei, and there is no word, he is a member of the Han family, his grandfather Liu Xiong was once raised as filial piety, the official to the East County Fan Ling, but unfortunately his father Liu Hong died early, so that his family business declined.

He and his biological mother depend on each other, but this guy has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, his hometown, there are many mulberry trees, there is a mulberry tree on the southeast corner fence of his house is five zhang high, from a distance it looks like a car cover, people who come and go feel that this tree does not look like a mortal thing, think that this family will produce nobles, Liu Bei played under the tree with the children of the same clan when he was a child, pointed to the mulberry tree and said: "I will definitely take such a feather covered car in the future." ”

At that time, the elders of the same sect who heard this sentence were all surprised, and his uncle Liu Zijing warned him: "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise our family will be destroyed!" ”

As he grew up, he showed more abnormalities, unlike ordinary peasant boys, he liked to listen to music, liked fierce dogs and horses, and had been out since he was a child, and because of his strong personality, he was known to be courageous, and he was very close to his friends, so that he had a group of companions closely following him since he was a child, and in his teens, he had already impressed most of the local rangers and became the leader.

When he got home, his mother was making some things and preparing to sell them, Liu Bei frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Mother, didn't I give you a lot of money yesterday?" Why do you do all this? The woman looked at him with some disappointment in her eyes, and said, "You snatched the money from the Zhuoxian merchants?" ”

"What is robbery, we are responsible for protecting his safety from thieves, and the money is given by them!"

The woman looked a little sad, and she said, "I didn't teach you well, how can you, as a member of the Han family, do something to oppress the good?" Today, the Son of Heaven, who is of the same generation as you, is your brother, the Son of Heaven is benevolent and governs the world, I used to sell these and collect heavy taxes, but now they have been reduced a lot, and I will work hard in the future, and you and my mother and son will also be able to survive."

Liu Bei frowned and did not speak.

"Ah Lang, if you are like this, how will I face your father in the future!" The woman said sadly, Liu Bei was helpless, and persuaded: "Mother, Hugh is going to cry, I won't be a ranger in the future, don't do it, okay?" The woman knew in her heart that Liu Bei was just coaxing her, so she said helplessly: "Your uncle said that the great Confucian Lu Zhi intends to teach an apprentice, and he wants to send Deran to study, do you want to go with him?" ”

"Hezhou? It's too far away, I can't let you stay alone and go to a distant place to study on your own, it's not rude. Liu Bei said, and the woman persuaded again: "You are already the age of aspiring to study, there are people from the same clan here to take care of me, you don't have to worry, your uncle wants to support you, you don't have to worry about money, my mother will return the money to your uncle in the future."

Looking at his mother's somewhat gray hair, young Liu Bei sighed, forced his eyes, and thought for a long time before slowly lowering his head.

Seeing Liu Bei agree, the woman is indescribably happy, in fact, this matter, she has raised it many times, she doesn't want her child to mess around outside all day long, fight and kill with others, her child is different from ordinary people since childhood, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future, no matter what, let him receive the best education, so that he can become a talent, although Hezhou is far away, but as long as she can make her child a talent, she also admits it.

As for money, as long as I work harder, I should be able to repay my uncle's money.

Liu Bei chatted with his mother for a while, then made an excuse, went out of the house, he walked towards his uncle's courtyard, most of them are surnamed Liu, his uncle's home, not far from him, since his father's early death, the uncle of the same sect has always regarded him as his own child, and took care of him since he was a child, and the villagers also praised his uncle, and he slowly walked to the door of his uncle's house.

But he paused suddenly, for he heard a quarrel inside.

"Hezhou is so far away, if you want to let Deran go, forget it, why do you have to bring that shaft?"

"Do you know how much the journey will cost?"

"How much do you need to apprentice?"

"His uncle is Liu Zijing, not you, you are just his fellow clansman, why do you have to do this?"

"What do you know? His father has been kind to me since childhood, and I regard him as an elder brother, and his children are my children! ”

"He has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, our clan has this child, it is the blessing of our clan, you need to take care of these things!"

"What is the money, he has a child with me, Liu Zijing's family is poor, I don't support him, why don't you let him be a ranger all the time?"

Liu Bei stood at the door, quietly listening to the quarrel in the house, but did not speak, he stood like this for a long time, he bowed heavily to his uncle's house, and said in a low voice: "Uncle's kindness today is ready to be repaid with death!" ”
