After Liu Bei and his entourage arrived in Luoyang, they were not immediately summoned by Emperor Ling of Han, and this time Liu Bei lived in Luoyang for nearly a month.

Entrusted people to enter the palace to inquire about the seal, but learned that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in the harem, so that all the women were sold, and they were even more stealing and fighting. Emperor Ling wore merchant clothes and drank and feasted for fun. and in the West Garden, he made a dog, and entered the virtuous crown with a ribbon. Driving four donkeys again, Emperor Ling bowed to his own bridles, galloped around, and the Beijing division followed suit, and the price of the donkey was the same as that of the horse. In the same month, Wang Meisheng was the prince Liu Xie, but the queen He was jealous and killed Wang Meiren, and Emperor Ling of Han ignored the government in sadness.

Liu Bei was helpless in this regard, but fortunately, Liu Bei still had many things to deal with during this trip, the first was to visit his master Lu Zhi with gifts, there was no doubt that Lu Zhi already knew what Liu Bei had done in the Western Regions, but he felt that this matter was not unavoidable.

It's just that the scholars were dissatisfied with the scholars because of the eunuch Zhang Rang speaking for Liu Bei at the previous court meeting, so they advised Liu Bei to be careful in this matter. Although he knew that Liu Bei's protector of the Western Regions was bought through money, he only knew that Liu Bei's target was the Ming and Qing dynasties, so although he didn't agree, he didn't look down on Liu Bei because of this.

Liu Bei talked with Lu Zhi for a long time, and informed Lu Zhi of all his actions in the Western Regions, except for the current troops, but Lu Zhi was surprised, but at this time, the world was not chaotic, so Lu Zhi had no other ideas.

After that, he went to visit Cai Yong at his father-in-law's house with a gift, and at the same time brought Cai Yan's family letter, and Liu Bei's surprise was that because Cai Yong was at home alone, he was quite lonely, so he accepted an apprentice, named Gu Yong, who was no stranger to this name Liu Bei, the power minister of the Sun Quan period of Wu Guo, and the able minister, for such a talent, Liu Bei did not intend to let go, although Gu Yong was only fifteen years old at this time.

When Gu Yong was young, he worshipped the famous scholar Cai Yong as his teacher and learned to play the piano and calligraphy. He is quick-witted, quiet and single-minded, and his art industry is progressing, and he is deeply loved by Cai Yong. Cai Yong gave it a name. Therefore, Gu Yong has the same name as his teacher Cai Yong ("Yong" has the same sound as Cai Yong's "Yong"). And because he was praised by the teacher, he took the word sigh.

Cai Yong got Cai Yan's family letter, but he hid in the study alone to touch his tears, and only Gu Yong and Liu Bei were left in the hall.

"Yuan sigh, what kind of books are you reading now?"

"Hui Du Hu Lord, has read to the "Analects - for the Government" chapter, Zi Zhang Xue Ganlu, Zi said: "Hear more doubts, be cautious about the rest, then you are few; See more and less, and be cautious about the rest, and regret it. Words are scarce, deeds are regretful, and Lu is in it. ””

"Oh, it's not slow, I don't know how Yuan Si understands this." Liu Bei continued to ask.

"Yongjue is the essence of righteousness, and Zizhang wants to learn how to seek an official position. Confucius said: "Listen more, put aside the doubts first, and say the rest with caution, so that you can make fewer mistakes; You should look at it more, put aside the doubts first, and do the rest carefully, so that you can reduce regrets. Speak less negligently, do things less regretfully, and the official position is here. ””

"Of course, the essence is for this, but does Yuan Si think that being an official is what he does?" Liu Bei asked the third.

"What else? If I have doubts, I will not do it, but it is good, and in the end, there is no fault. Gu Yong emphasized.

This is a good statement, but it is unwise to do it out of doubt; Doubt why not seek verification, if verification, how can you doubt again, after verification, then for the right way to be an official. ”

Gu Yong was thoughtful, and then suddenly realized. I thought Liu Bei made a gesture to express his gratitude.

"Yuan sigh, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and prepare to be the protector of the Western Regions, if he consciously learns something in the future, he can come to the Western Regions to experience, if there is a chance, Bei will recommend you to enter the court as an official." Liu Bei smiled slightly, and then said.

When Gu Yong heard this, he didn't understand anything, and then nodded yes.

After that, Cai Yong returned to the living room as usual, chatted with Liu Bei for a long time, and told Liu Bei well before letting Liu Bei leave. Of course, Liu Bei did not forget to invite Cai Yong to go to the Western Regions to have a look.

In the next few days, Liu Bei visited a kind of scholar one by one with gifts, and after this communication, the attitude of the scholars towards Liu Bei has changed a lot, but there are still some scholars who are more hostile to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei does not care about it.

Because Liu Bei was bored waiting at home, he dragged Zhang again to ask them to report to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, saying that he Liu Bei had a birthday gift to bring to the Imperial Prince's Association, hoping to meet the saint as soon as possible and offer gifts.

At this point, Emperor Ling of Han remembered that Liu Bei had been waiting for Luoyang for nearly a month, so he ordered Zhang Rang to summon Liu Bei.

Three days later, Liu Bei bathed and changed his clothes, waited outside the palace in official clothes, and went to the court to discuss matters with Chen Gong.

……………………………………………

Because Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has not been in the court for a long time, the court has twists and turns, discussions are flying, and various forces are attacking the nature, but Liu Bei has been frowning when he sees this, and he is very displeased with this official eunuch.

In the end, after nearly two hours of discussion, someone reported to Emperor Han Ling, and Emperor Han Ling seemed to wake up from a dream after sleeping for two hours.

"Huh?"

"Your Majesty, the matter of Wusun's envoy suing the Western Regions to protect Liu Bei has been resolved so far."

"Oh, now Liu Bei is already in the palace, you wait and ask." But he remembered that Zhang Rang said that Liu Bei had another gift to give, and at the same time, Zhang Ran also presented this year's New Year's tribute to Liu Bei, so Emperor Han Ling didn't plan to pursue Liu Bei too much.

When the officials saw Emperor Han Ling's answer, their momentum was half as if they were half, and no one even stood up to speak for a while.

But things are never so simple, the momentum is weak, it doesn't mean that no one speaks, a moment later, someone stood up and questioned Liu Bei, saying that the Western Regions is the territory of the Han Dynasty for a long time, why Liu Bei wants to use troops in the territory, before Liu Bei answered, someone asked Liu Bei, why don't you ask the saint for the use of soldiers,...... And so on and so forth.

Simply this question was authentic in the previous super meeting, so Feng Yu told Liu Bei one by one, but this time Liu Bei answered them one by one. In the end, for not asking Emperor Han Ling, Zhang Rang directly took out Liu Bei's letter of seal. Even Emperor Han Ling was puzzled when he saw this, feeling that he had never seen such a twist and turn in his impression, but Emperor Han Ling didn't want to blame Liu Bei in the first place, so he acquiesced.

A thing that seemed quite sinister ended hastily in the end, which made Liu Bei quite helpless.

After that, Liu Bei went to see Emperor Ling of Han alone, and presented the two horses that had been prepared long ago to Emperor Ling of Han's two sons, Liu Wei and Liu Xie.

Got two rare sweat and blood horses, Emperor Han Ling was also quite happy, and then taught Liu Wei, who was only six years old, to open his mouth and shout Liu Bei's imperial uncle, which was a joy for Liu Bei, although Emperor Han Ling recognized the identity of Liu Bei's royal family, but it was far less important than this imperial uncle.

Later, after Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died of illness and Liu Wei and Liu Xie ascended the throne, Liu Bei occupied the nominal righteousness, and more importantly, when Liu Wei and Liu Xie both died, Liu Bei had the opportunity to inherit the era name of the Han Dynasty as a royal family.

In this way, he can also give an explanation to many of his civil ministers and military generals, because when Liu Bei recruited them, he always said that he wanted to be a strong Han, and similarly, as long as there is a name for the Han, it will be much easier to recruit talents in the later stage.
