【First Sight】

"Get up, breakfast is ready, on the table!" When Wang saw that Liu Bei was up, he gave Liu Bei a bowl of porridge.

"You're so early, I'll wash my face first!" Liu Bei tied up his clothes and walked towards the pool.

The weather has gradually turned cooler, walking on the road, from time to time a gust of wind blows, the whole person suddenly has a coolness, and the body can't help but tremble.

Liu Bei squatted on the edge of the pool and sprinkled water on his face: "Wow~ Good ice!" ”

He hurriedly wiped the water off his face with a cloth, got up and walked back.

"Xuande, get up!" The people in the village said when they saw Liu Bei.

"Ah, it's up, it's getting cold!"

"yes, I've got an extra piece of clothing today, and I'll take it off when it's hot!"

"It's good, now go to the field? I've had breakfast! ”

"Not yet, the house is still burning, first go to the mountains to chop some firewood and come back, there is no firewood at home!"

"Oh, okay, I'll go back to have breakfast and I'll be at the market later!" Liu Bei pushed open the door of the courtyard and trotted into the house: "It's cold outside!" ”

"Go to the market today, put on more clothes, and drink the porridge on the table while it's hot!" Wang walked into the room and took out a piece of clothing for Liu Bei and put it next to the straw sandals.

"I'm fine, I'm in good health! I haven't seen any strong winds and waves in Songshan back then, and this cold is nothing! Liu Bei drank porridge and took a suerkraut.

"You have to bring it anyway, I won't send it to you when it's cold!" Wang picked up a bowl of porridge and said.

"By the way, I may have to come back later tonight, I have to visit the county order to see what news is out there recently!" Liu Bei put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Eat well, I'll go first!" ”

"What else can happen outside, it's not the same as before!" Wang added: "Bring the clothes!" ”

"I know, I know, I didn't take it with me!" Liu Bei put on his clothes, picked up straw sandals and said, "You don't understand what is going on outside, I'm leaving!" ”

"Be careful on the road!"

"Got it, you can continue eating!"

Maybe for most people, the future life may be just like this, after spring, summer, autumn and winter, get up in the morning to eat breakfast, then go to the market to sell straw mats, sleep in the market, do not come back until the evening, come back after dinner, then then knit straw sandals, and then start the next day's life, a lifetime, ordinary, although comfortable but also mediocre.

But for Liu Bei, his ambition is far from this, he began to go out to study at the age of fifteen, went south and north, followed the teacher to fight the powerful landlords, quelled the Southern Barbarian rebellion, and then went to Luoyang, has experienced the political struggle of the central government, has seen countless high-ranking officials and magnates, up to the emperor, down to the county guard, which has not seen, which of the young people in the same village has their own experience, if they have only lived a life of weaving mats and selling shoes in Zhuo County all their lives, will not waste their own efforts.

At this time, he was still sitting in the bazaar, watching people come and go, after the vicissitudes of time, he wanted to break through himself, and now the only person who can help him is Gongsun Zhan, who is close in front of him.

I was going to wait for the stall to close in the evening, but when the weather cooled down, no one came to buy straw sandals, and he was idle at this time, so he left the stall and went to the county government to find Gongsun Zhan.

"Lord Liu is here, please inside!" Now the people in the county government have recognized Liu Bei, and they are still the same, they are called Lord Liu every time, although Liu Bei is indeed a little unaccustomed to it at first, but he is screaming, and he doesn't care about it, and sometimes he even thinks it's quite pleasant.

"Ah, I'm here to find the prefectural commander!" Liu Bei walked in the door and asked, "Where is the county commander?" ”

"Back to Lord Liu, Lord County Commander is now in the study!" The doorman said, "Do you need me to show the way?" ”

"Oh, no, I know the way, you're busy with yours!" Liu Bei, the county capital, is familiar with the road, and he has been here so many times, and now he remembers clearly where there is a flower and a stone.

"Tuk tuk tuk~" Liu Bei knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in~" Gongsun Chan heard a knock on the door.

"Brother Bogui, I'm here to see you!" Liu Bei walked into the study and saw Gongsun Zan writing on the bookcase.

"Oh, Xuande is here, sit down, I'm reading some official documents in the county, how can I have time to walk around today!" Gongsun Chan got up and said, "Come on, watch the tea!" ”

"Business has been getting harder and harder lately, and I don't have much business today, so I thought I'd come to see you!" Liu Bei sat down.

"Your straw sandals, someone buys them in the summer, but when the weather gets cold, no one will come to buy them!" Gongsun Chan pointed to the bookcase and said: "I just looked at the official document there, the harvest reported by the local government is not as good as a year, and my head is about to explode!" Gongsun Chan shook his head again and again.

"You must know the reason for this!" Liu Bei picked up the teacup that had just been brewed and said: "When the teacher was in Lujiang County, for the sake of the people, he immediately killed the powerful landlord Wang San, this harvest is not good, in the final analysis, the peasants' enthusiasm for labor is not high, and the reason for the low is that there is no land of their own, and it is all occupied by the landlord!" ”

"I also know this, but this powerful landlord is not easy to do, since the teacher killed Wang San, the whole world knows that the teacher is selfless and selfless, and he is the public enemy of the powerful landlord, I am in power in Zhuo County, and life is not easy, I am a student of Lu Zhi, they naturally regard me as their public enemy, they are united, the power is huge, the county wants to take them, don't even think about it!" Gongsun Chan shook his hand and said.

"Hey~ I ask you, do you want to continue to live a life of weaving mats and selling shoes in the future? Don't want to find a place to use, display your talents, and create a world of your own? Gongsun Chan asked.

"Alas~ It is difficult to find a place to use this world, and now the eunuchs are in charge, and the dark room is deceiving, resulting in turmoil in the court, mourning all over the wilderness, the world is full of smoke and miasma, and there is no daylight. The traitors and villains are better than the other, and the loyal ministers are worse than the other, and I can only lament the empty ambition to serve the country, but I can't do what I can for the people. Liu Bei said helplessly.

Gongsun Zhan saw that Liu Bei almost deducted the most ugly words on the eunuchs, and knew that his hatred for the eunuchs was not only the hatred of killing his father, but also the hatred of being oppressed, and of course, he also vented his troubles about having no way to serve the country. Thinking of this, Gongsun Chan asked, "Xuande, if you are asked to govern the world, how will you govern it." ”

Liu Bei pondered: "I will rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, appease the people, and let them recuperate; Accept the wise men of the world with benevolence and righteousness, and let their intelligence rule the world; Influence the emperor with benevolence and righteousness, so that he will have the world in his heart and the people first. Only by doing the way of benevolence and righteousness can we regain the hearts of the people in the world, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, so that many unstable factors of the Han Dynasty can be eliminated, and social development will be back on track. ”

Gongsun Zhan originally wanted to look at Liu Bei's governance philosophy through this question, so as to appoint him. However, listening to what he said at this time, I felt that although the junior brother in front of me was young, his thinking was so pedantic, so he broke off this thought. In this troubled era, how is it feasible to govern with benevolence and righteousness, it must be feasible to govern by force. However, since he was not appointed, there was no need to attack him, and he said at this time: "Xuande's words are really insightful. ”

"Report, Lord County Order, there is a person named Zou Jing outside the door who asks to see him, saying that he is your old friend." At this time, a doorman ran over and said.

When Gongsun Chan heard this, he immediately said, "Hurry up, please." ”

Gongsun Zhan stood up, and Liu Bei also stood up.

Zou Jing is the current captain of the school, when he and Gongsun Chan together to crusade against the Hu people, the two of them are young and vigorous, meritorious service, both pursued the Hu people, but Zou Jing fell into the Hu people's tricks, strayed into the enemy's encirclement, Gongsun Chan learned of this, he immediately led the crowd to come to the rescue, the two of them attacked inside and out, broke the Hu people, and thus relieved Zou Jing's danger. Although it was dark, they still refused to give up, and ordered the soldiers to light torches and continue to chase by the light of the fire, which caused the Hu people to be frightened, and the two also formed a friendship of life and death.

At this time, I saw Zou Jing walk in, and before Liu Bei could take a closer look, he heard him suddenly shout loudly: "Brother Bo Guixian, I haven't seen you for so long, the foolish brother really wants to kill you!" Haha......" Liu Bei couldn't help but shudder when he heard this voice, and Liu Bei complained in his heart that this person was really, he was so close and spoke so loudly. Then I heard him say: "Now that you are the lord of a county, you can also be regarded as a 'feudal official', how are you doing recently?" ”

"Brother Zou tortures me, what kind of feudal official, is the parent official of a county, how dare I think about it. It's been like this recently, oh, by the way, let me introduce you, this is my fellow disciple Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, from Zhuo County. After Gongsun Chan finished speaking, he motioned to the next person to make a cup of tea.

"Oh, it turns out that this is also Lu Zhi's disciple, disrespectful and disrespectful." Zou Jing said with a smile.

"Where, Brother Zou's name is also admired by me for a long time." Liu Bei saw Gongsun Zan call him Brother Zou, so he also called him together, but he had been in Luoyang before, and he had only been back for a few years, where would he know who this Zou Jing was, but polite words still had to be said.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they sat down, and Gongsun Chan said, "Brother Zou, I don't know what happened to me this time?" "This person is like this, he has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, especially if they have officials in each other, even more so, seeing Zou Jing's sudden arrival today, there must be something important, they are all from military backgrounds, and they are straight to the point.

Zou Jing looked at Liu Bei at this time, and then at Gongsun Zhan, and stopped talking, Gongsun Zhan saw this, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Zou said that it doesn't matter, Xuande is my brother, I have known each other for many years, I know the roots, and we are all my own people." ”

Zou Jing saw that Gongsun Zhan said this, so he had no scruples, and said: "When I came to Zhuo County today, I didn't see the big characters 'Jiazi' on the wall of your county government. ”

Gongsun Chan was confused at this time, and said suspiciously: "What Jiazi, I didn't see the words Jiazi on the wall." ”

Zou Jing saw that Gongsun Zhan didn't know, so he got straight to the point: "Let's put it this way, today the county guard received news that the word 'Jiazi' was written on the walls of many county governments, so the county guard reported the matter to the assassin history, and learned that almost every county has this kind of thing." Then Liaoxi Taishou Liu Ji found out the matter, he caught a person who wrote, and after severe torture, he finally learned that this was the Taiping Dao Zhang Jiao instructed to do it. ”

"What does Jiazi mean?" Gongsun Chan asked.

"Liu Junshou learned from that mouth that there has been a slogan in Taiping Dao, 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious', from which he learned that they may have to do something on the day of Jiazi, but I don't know whether it is good or bad, but I always feel uneasy in my heart. Now the question is, what does 'the sky' mean, and what does the 'yellow sky' mean? ”

Liu Bei listened to Zou Jing's words, and couldn't help but feel a chill behind his back, he always felt that this was a conspiracy planned by Zhang Jiao, and it was a big conspiracy, he forced himself to calm down, and said carefully: "Could it be that 'Cangtian' refers to my Han Heavenly Dynasty, and 'Huangtian' refers to Taiping Dao." ”

"If you want to say that 'Cangtian' refers to the Great Han, it is understandable, so why does 'Huangtian' only refer to Taiping Dao?"

At this time, Liu Bei told Zou Jing and Gongsun Zan about his personal experience: "I have also come into contact with some Taiping Dao people before, their appearance is that their heads are wrapped in yellow scarves, and in the Book of Changes, the head is yang, and yang is the sky, and the yellow sky may have come from this." ”

After listening to Liu Bei's explanation, Gongsun Zhan and Zou Jing looked at each other, but it didn't take long for Zou Jing to suddenly stand up and run towards the door: "Fuck, Bogui, I'll go to the county guard now, the Taiping Road of the dog day, they are going to rebel." ”

[Learn the truth]

"Master, I'm back!" Steward Li ran around this trip to exhaust him, first from Julu to Zhongshan, and then back and forth between Zhongshan and Zhuojun, along the way the carriage was bumpy and shaky, but his old bones were miserable.

"Oh, Lao Li, you're back!" Su Shuang got up and helped Steward Li to sit down, sat down opposite him and said, "How are things going?" ”

"The matter is done, according to the report, Liu Bei is now married to a local woman!" Li Lao took a sip of hot water and said, "But he didn't accept all the money, I brought it all back!" ”

"Not a single point?" Su Shuang asked in surprise.

"Not a single point!" Li Lao put down the teacup and rubbed his eyes: "Have you ever thought about how to reply to the young lady!" ”

"How else can I reply, Liu Bei's kid has a new love, and he is married!" Su Shuangbai glanced at Steward Li: "Is it difficult to explain all our affairs?" ”

"No, sir, I didn't mean that, I'm worried that Miss won't be able to accept it for a while, but will do stupid things!" Steward Li said with his head drooping.

"What's so stupid about this, Xue'er is not a child anymore, she will always know the character of men, men like the new and hate the old, like three wives and four concubines, she knows that after a long time, he will forget Liu Bei!" Su Shuang touched his beard at this time, and stood up with a smile: "This matter has worked hard for you, Old Li!" ”

"It's a slave's job to share worries for the master, so it's hard to talk about!" Li Lao also stood up, slowly walked to the master's side and said: "Master, I have come all the way, everywhere I go, there are homeless people, in groups, they have yellow scarves tied on their heads, I remember that these are all people who came to buy our horses, at least they are all in a group, horses can pull goods, and they can also fight!" ”

"You are talking nonsense, you mean they are going to rebel?" Su pointed at Li Lao and said.

"Then why did they buy so many horses at once!" Li Lao spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's all some farmers, why do you want these horses!" ”

"Lao Li, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense, we are businessmen, not bureaucrats, this rebellion is not a rebellion, it has nothing to do with us, this is up to me, don't tell others!" Su Shuang stared at Steward Li and said.

"Yes, the old slave knows!" Lao Li nodded and said.

"Master, the meal has arrived, and the meals have been arranged!" Then a servant came and said.

"Okay, got it, let's call Miss!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Lao Li, you just came back today, let's have dinner together!" Su Shuang put his arm on Steward Li's shoulders and walked out of the door together.

"That's not good, sir!" Steward Li said after him.

"If I call you together, you will eat together, what's wrong!"

"Yes, sir!"

"To be honest, what you did was a little unkind, since Liu Bei's kid is so knowledgeable, you should keep all this money there, whether he wants it or not, throw it at his house, he took the initiative to quit so much, pitiful, but made me a sinner, don't you say?"

"He doesn't want it himself, we can't force him to ask for it, everyone has their own ambitions, not everyone likes gold and silver money, master, you are also for the good of Miss, don't think about it!"

"Yes, yes!" At this time, seeing Su Xue coming from the other direction, Su Shuang saw it and said, "Xue'er, it's time to eat,"

"Yes, good!" Su Xue saw that Steward Li was also there, and said, "Uncle Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, what have you been busy with lately?" ”

"Recently, ......" Steward Li glanced at Su Shuang and said, "Recently, I have been in the field, and I am still doing the same work!" ”

"Oh, that's it, let's eat together, it's crowded and lively!" Su Xue walked into the restaurant and sat down: "Daddy, I'm going to go far away!" ”

"Where are you going?" Su Shuang hurriedly said: "Recently, there are people everywhere outside, and it is too dangerous for you to go out with a girl!" ”

"I'll go to Zhuo County, if you don't feel at ease, you can call a few more people to go with you!" Su Xue picked up the chopsticks and ate them, with an unusually firm attitude.

"You girl, why are you so worry-free, why do you say you are going to Zhuo County!" Su Shuang's head was big at this time.

"I'll go to see Liu Bei and them, how are they doing, Songshan farewell, it's been five years now!" Su Xue put down the dishes and chopsticks at this time: "I know, my father doesn't agree with my daughter being with Liu Bei, I just went to see him this time, nothing else!" ”

"Xue'er, why are you so troubled, everyone is married now, you go now will only bring instability to his life, if you still want to be good for him, don't go!" Su Shuang said embarrassedly at this time.

"What did you say?" Su Xue looked at her father with a puzzled expression: "Married?" ”

Su Shuang didn't say anything, just nodded.

"No way, this can't be, you must be lying to me!" Su Xue looked at Steward Li at this time, and Steward Li nodded helplessly: "What happened a few days ago, Liu Bei is indeed married, Miss!" ”

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier~" Su Xue was expressionless at this time, but tears fell involuntarily, how many nights, how many days of memories, the past is vivid, since she left Songshan, she has been waiting, waiting for Liu Bei, who picked dates with her; waiting for Liu Bei, who was washing clothes with him; Waiting for Liu Bei, who was cutting bamboo chips with him, he hoped that Liu Bei could come to him after completing his studies, she had infinite hopes for Liu Bei, but Liu Bei never came, Su Xue didn't know why, for countless days and nights, she kept asking herself, does Liu Bei still love herself? But she firmly believes in the feelings between each other, she believes that Liu Bei will eventually come, but now, she didn't expect to wait for the news that he is married.

She held on to the table, slowly stood up, and walked out of the restaurant, she suddenly felt that everything in this world was so ruthless, so cold.

"Miss!" Lilac saw that the young lady was stumbling and weak when she walked outside the door, so she hurriedly ran over.

At this time, Su Shuang and Steward Li also cautiously followed behind Su Xue: "Xue'er, are you okay?" ”

Su Xue helped Lilac and said, "I'm fine, I want to go back and rest, I'm tired!" ”

"Well, then...... Lilac, help Miss go back, let Miss have a good rest, got it? ”

"Yes, sir!" Lilac held Su Xue in her arms and walked slowly step by step.

"Miss, what's going on?" Lilac asked at this point.

"Liu Bei, he's married!" Su Xue couldn't stand anymore, squatted down, and then sat down on the ground.

"This ...... There is really no good thing for a man, Miss, Liu Bei is ruthless and unrighteous, you can't cry your body because of him, it's not worth it! Lilac helped the young lady up and said: "I think Miss you have paid so much for Liu Bei, you have paid for him in Songshan, and you have paid for her at home, what about him Liu Bei, instead of being kind to Miss, he also came to hurt Miss!" ”

At this time, Su Xue sobbed and said, "He should also have unspeakable secrets!" ”

"Miss, in this world, I have really never met such a kind and benevolent person as you, Liu Bei did something sorry for you without saying a word, and you are still helping him speak now!" Ding Xiang crossed her eyebrows and scolded Liu Bei angrily.

"Anyway, I have to go and see for myself, if he is happy, he will have a wish of mine!"

"Ah, miss, you still want to see that bad guy!"

"Go see him one last time!" Su Xue stopped, sat in the corridor, and said, "You go and pack my luggage, I'll leave today!" ”

"I'll go too!"

"Don't go, it's not good for you to go, you better stay at home and pretend you don't know anything!"

"But ......"

"Don't say it, go clean up!" Su Xue took out a handkerchief, handed it to Lilac and said, "Wash the handkerchief, soak it and bring it to me!" ”

Lilac knew that Su Xue was going to wash her face, so she took the handkerchief and said, "Yes, Miss!" ”
