Chapter 393: Entering Xuzhou
As Chen Xi guessed, after Tao Qian and Liu Bei arrived at the mansion, they took Liu Bei to the table, sat on the same level as themselves, and then hesitated for a moment to order Chen Deng to summon the Xuzhou family.
"Xuande, what do you think of this Xuzhou?" Tao Qian gave Liu Bei a glass of wine, and then said with a smile.
"Xuzhou is worthy of being a rich land in the world, which is not comparable to ordinary states and counties." Liu Bei said matter-of-factly, "However, they are all plains, and they cannot be defended for a long time unless there is a strong army and good generals." ”
"Xuande now sees things finally no longer only look at one side, my Xuzhou is still not as rich as Mount Tai prosperous, I think when Xuande entered Mount Tai, Mount Tai was poor, no one wants people, no food, only three years Mount Tai has surpassed Nanyang to become the richest state and county in the world." A touch of remembrance flashed in Tao Qian's eyes, things are not people!
At the beginning, Liu Bei was just a small deflated when he was in the Tiger Prison, although he had the name of the clan, but he didn't even have a paperwork, and now Liu Bei is already a prince with hundreds of thousands of elites, a population of five million, and a famous prince in the Central Plains, and he Tao Gongzu is already in the waning mountains.
"This is thanks to Zichuan's ability." Liu Bei laughed and said, "If there is no Zichuan, I Liu Xuande will not be able to be so smooth sailing." Saying that, Liu Bei picked up his wine glass and toasted Chen Xi with a glass of wine.
"If there is no Xuande Gong, I Chen Zichuan may not be able to show what I have learned." Chen Xi said calmly, and then said to himself in a voice that he could hear, "Only Xuande Gong would indulge me like this." ”
Tao Qian looked at this scene and sighed slightly, the harmony between monarchs and ministers is the fundamental factor for the maintenance of a foundation.
Chen Deng took the people from the big and small families in Xuzhou to the seat with an expressionless face, and it was obvious that many of them were a little cowering when they saw Liu Bei and Tao Qian. However, no one pointed out this qiē at this time.
After the big and small families gave Tao Qian and Liu Bei a salute, Tao Qian did not blame those family heads in person, but just calmly drank and feasted with Liu Bei. Soon the singing and dancing banquet ended, and Tao Qian ordered someone to bring the Xuzhou seal ribbon to Liu Bei.
Soon Sun Gan followed his teacher Kang Chenggong and walked up behind Zhao Yu, who was holding the seal of Xuzhou Prefecture, and saw this scene Jia Xu and Li You looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, this uncle is here, even if Tao Qian dies on the spot, no one can splash dirty water, Sun Gan is not visible. But when it comes to doing things, it's really watertight.
Tao Qian was also stunned when he saw Kang Chenggong appear, and then a smile appeared on his face. "Kang Chenggong actually came here in person, I feel very honored, can you be a witness for me and Xuande, and there will be gossip in the future." Then he ordered someone to take the couch. Personally placed on your own right side. Let Zheng Xuan sit down.
[It seems that Kang Chenggong has a good impression of Xuande Gong, it should be said that in the late Han Dynasty, everyone who passed on to the world with the name of education and classlessness had a very good impression of Xuande Gong, after all, one of Xuande Gong's vows is to open the wisdom of the people and complete the supreme ideal that countless ancestors have not completed since the Shang and Zhou dynasties. 】
Chen Xi chuckled lightly in his heart, and sure enough, after telling Zheng Xuan about the opening of the people's wisdom, Sun Qian would be able to pry out Zheng Xuan, who had closed the door in history and studied scriptures, from Xuzhou. Guan Ning, Wang Lie and his entourage can also start. With these people, there will definitely be no loss in morality. 】
"I'm here to be a witness, and I also want to see what kind of person Liu Xuande is who vows to open up the wisdom of the people of the world." Zheng Xuan's words were not polite, but there was an obvious bias.
"Kang Chenggong smiled, I, Liu Xuande, also want to see that kind of world, since the first saint went forward and worked hard for it, now I Liu Xuande can see a glimmer of hope, why don't you go all out?" Liu Beilang smiled and saluted Zheng Xuan.
In the Han Dynasty, there was no distinction between civil and military affairs, and the six arts of a gentleman were indispensable, and Zheng Xuanben was the one who collected it, so he naturally had some understanding of the knowledge of physiognomy, looking at Liu Bei's generous face, he smiled, "I heard that Xuande Gong has a academy, and there is still no dean, can you let the old man recommend himself." ”
"Kang Cheng is willing to come, and I will sweep the couch to greet him." Liu Bei was overjoyed, and then said extremely solemnly, he now lacks a real Confucian-level figure to sit in Taishan Academy.
"Good, good, good!" Zheng Xuan nodded, then looked at Tao Qian.
Tao Qian picked up the seal ribbon of Xuzhou Mu and gently stroked it twice, "Xuande, I hope you become Xuzhou Mu." ”
"Tao Gong ......" Although Liu Bei had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw Tao Qian so directly handing over the seal ribbon representing the power of Xuzhou, and was slightly at a loss.
"Xuande, don't shirk, I, Tao Qian, am beyond my strength, I want to find a successor who can inherit my ideals before I die, and Xuande's attack on Yuan Highway did make me a little dissatisfied, so I have less contact with Xuande, and even look away when choosing a successor." Tao Qian said without hesitation, should it be said that people are about to die, and their words are good?
"Xuande is terrified......" Liu Bei said with a wry smile, what should be said about Yuan Shu's attack on Liu Biao, even if there was no Cao Cao's plan, Liu Bei would not let Yuan Shu achieve his goal lightly.
"Cao Mengde's wolf ambition, although he has good deeds, but he can't suppress his tyrannical side, but this person has a firm heart, I don't know if this matter can be improved later, but unfortunately, I really thought he was the most suitable candidate." Tao Qian shook his head, picked up the seal ribbon that represented the power of Xuzhou Prefecture, and forced it to Liu Bei, at this time, there was nothing taboo to say, and Liu Bei would not care about this.
"Take it, whether it is said that the virtuous live in it, or the capable people live in it, or the Han family has all the rivers and mountains of the Han family, you Liu Xuande are the most suitable candidates, don't shirk, take care of my two sons for me, take care of the people of Xuzhou, don't let them suffer such a disaster again, as for my ideals, don't mention it." Tao Qianlang said with a smile, when he was about to die, the only ones he couldn't let go of were his two sons, as for the like-minded successors......
"Prepare, will live up to the trust of Tao Gong!" Liu Bei hesitated slightly, but still took the letter of Xuzhou Muyin, as Tao Qian said, whether it is Bide, Bicai, Bi Neng, or even Bi blood, he is the most suitable, stretched out his hand to take the letter and said solemnly, "Tao family, I Liu Bei is sheltering one day at a time!" ”
"With Xuande's words, I will be relieved, before this I have sent the recommended documents to Chang'an, presumably Xuande will be able to get the appointment letter of His Majesty Xià soon." Liu Bei didn't say anything for generations, Tao Qian also knew that there was no need, and who could guarantee what would happen to Liu Bei a hundred years later.
On the other side, Zheng Xuan was doing the work of a historian, recording this matter completely on the scroll, and then writing his name, if anyone in the future uses this matter to trouble Liu Bei, Zheng Xuan can use the documents guaranteed by his own name, and it will be difficult for anyone to find Liu Bei's trouble in the future.
"Congratulations to Xuande Gong!" Chen Xi stood up with a smile, and then the entire mansion was full of congratulatory voices, and it was obvious that there were many family heads who were relieved a lot, and Tao Qian's high pressure was too terrifying for them. (To be continued......)
