Chapter 4 Section 1 Clever Layout

In the spring and February of the sixth year of Chuhei (189), a man of medium stature, with a long sword hanging from his waist, hair like grass, and an embarrassed face, walked down from an Izumo merchant ship, carefully walked all the way across the deck, and stepped ashore. At that moment, the man closed his eyes, tilted his face and took a deep breath of humid air, with a relaxed smile on his face.

In the cabin behind him, a man dressed as a businessman ran out and called out in a stack, "Mr. Shan, Mr. Shan, go slowly." ”

When the man heard this, he turned around and faced the little businessman, and asked with blazing eyes, "Brother Chen, what's the matter with you?" ”

The businessman surnamed Chen earnestly handed over a letter and explained: "My husband and I had a very pleasant conversation all the way, and thanks to him for not giving up, I became friends with me, a small businessman. Now that my husband is going to go on the road alone to find friends, I will do my best for him. Here is a letter that the gentleman can use to exchange for a road guide (identity tag) at the Pingyuan County Palace. With the guide, it is convenient for Mr. to walk in Qingzhou. ”

After speaking, the businessman surnamed Chen added quite proudly: "Not to mention anything else, in the territory of Qingzhou, we small businessmen still have some ability, introduce a few people to find friends in Qingzhou, and the government still gives some face." ”

Mr. Shan bowed his hand slightly, thanked him and said, "So, thank you Brother Chen." Then he reached out and took the letter and put it in his bosom.

The merchant surnamed Chen frowned slightly, looked at the sword hanging from Mr. Shan's waist, and sighed: "Mr. Shan, when you leave Pingyuan County, you'd better put away the sword on your waist." In the boundaries under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Xuande, except for Qingzhou Pingyuan County, Yanzhou Taishan County, and Xuzhou Langxi County, where sword control is slightly looser, in other boundaries, only meritorious people and scholars can wear bows and swords. If you do not have the status of a meritorious citizen or a scholar, and carry a sword and bow with you, your crime should be beheaded. Mr. traveled to Qingzhou, he would not want to get into trouble, so he would sell the sword in the plains, and when Mr. returned, he would buy the swords in the plains, Taishan, and Langxie counties, and I believe that the quality of the sword must be better than that of Mr. ”

Mr. Shan was surprised and asked, "Brother Chen, thank you for your care, but isn't there still frequent wars in Qingzhou?" As far as I know, every year in the three counties of Pingyuan, Taishan, and Langxi, the Yellow Turban Army and the Qingzhou Army fight no less than 10 battles. ”

The merchant surnamed Chen smiled dumbly: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Three Counties is also a small trouble." Except for Pingyuan County, the other two yellow scarves are not in Qingzhou. Under the oppression of the Xuande Gong army, the yellow turbans of these three counties did not dare to step out of the county boundary, as for the frequent wars, that was the Xuande Gong training with the yellow turbans?

You think, Xuande Gong defeated 100,000 cavalry of Liaoxi Xianbei (Wuheng, or Karasuma), but used four or five legions. Today, there are 10 legions (35,000 people) in Qingzhou, and there are still 16 legions in Izumo City, and these 26 legions are a fraction of what the Yellow Turban can resist. At present, the yellow turbans of the three places are now cowering in their own territory, and they can't live in fear. The reason why the lord did not plough the court and sweep the cave was because there were many hungry people in the three places, and the lord was not ready to accept the hungry people. Therefore, as long as the yellow scarves in the three places do not cross the county boundary and occasionally grab some food to satisfy their hunger, it is just a small fight, and they will make trouble.

Because of this, although there are still frequent wars in Qingzhou, passers-by walking on the border of Qingzhou are the safest. Walking along the road in Qingzhou, there is a post house every fifty miles to rest, the fort on the side of the post house is stationed in the township, if there is a police in one place, the four sides of the township Yong gather, how can the thieves escape? ”

Mr. Shan's eyes lit up, and he asked tentatively: "With such a police set up in fifty miles, how can Qingzhou's wealth be afforded." I heard that among the thirteen states in the world, Qingzhou has the lightest tax, but this is not true. ”

The businessman surnamed Chen shook his head slightly and explained: "Mr. Shan doesn't know that these villagers are on duty, and the government does not pay money and food. There is no tax on agriculture in Qingzhou, however, the people must serve labor to deduct taxes. This labor included military training, building cities, and building roads. And military training is to bring your own weapons and horses to the fort, and there is nothing to train and go to the police. Therefore, Qingzhou hides soldiers everywhere, but the government spends very little. ”

As soon as the businessman surnamed Chen's voice fell, Mr. Shan suddenly interjected and said, "Xuande Gong is a great talent, I already know, but, Brother Chen, if you are just a small businessman, how can you know Qingzhou well?" Just now, I heard Brother Chen call Xuande Gong the lord twice, it seems that Shan was rude, and his peers didn't ask Brother Chen's name for a few days. Excuse me, is Brother Chen the talented man under Xuande Gong? ”

The businessman surnamed Chen replied with a wry smile: "Chen, he is just a small businessman, and it is not rude for a single brother to ask for his name and surname." ”

As he spoke, this person puffed up his chest and said proudly: "However, I am with Izumo White Wolf Castle Guard, Zuo Feng General, Qingzhou Beihai Captain Guan Hai Guan Bingyuan; Wang Zhi, the head of foreign affairs of the Izumo Castle Lord's Office, and Chen Yong, the chief financial officer of the city lord and the commercial director of Luoyang Qingzhou, who is one of the three major ministers of the lord. The city lord's family wealth is taken care of by Chen, so Chen has absolute qualifications to call the city lord 'lord'. ”

Mr. Shan bowed and said repeatedly: "Rude and rude, Shan didn't know that Brother Chen had such an identity, and he was sluggish all the way." ”

Chen Yong picked up Mr. Shan, smiled secretly, and said, "Mr. Shan Fu is talented, we have heard Mr. Chen Changwen (Chen Qun) say that with my letter of introduction, Mr. Shan can decide what to do at his own discretion. Mr. Chen Changwen is located in Langxi County, and if Mr. Shan wants to visit Chen Changwen, he can go to Guanghuan by the way, and the lord is also eager to see Mr.

In addition, after hearing the letter, the lord has sent someone to Yingchuan to pick up the gentleman's family to live in Guangzhou. Sir, rest assured, there is a lord in Qingzhou, and no one dares to harass Mr. ”

Shan Fu stood up and asked slowly: "So, did you 'meet' me in Guandu and let me go on the boat to accompany me, also out of pre-arrangement?" ”

Chen Yong smiled faintly and replied: "Not only that, the person who robbed the Dharma field for Mr. is also from our arrangement, if there is no pre-arrangement by Mr. Chen Changwen, we will supply weapons and ordnance, and guide all the way, how can Mr. escape the pursuers?" ”

Shan Fu's eyes lit up, he stood by the sword, and asked unwillingly: "Although Xu and Chen Changwen are studying in Yingchuan Academy, they have no deep friendship. Chen Changwen has been following Xuande Gong since he was a child, and now he has become a big member, a young man, and he doesn't see him socialize with Yingchuan's old friends on weekdays, how can I remember my classmates who are not very familiar today. Besides, Xuande Gong has a reputation for planning and then acting, how could he risk robbing prison for his subordinates who are not familiar with him? ”

Chen Yong didn't mind Mr. Shan's self-proclaimed transformation from "Shan" to "Xu", and refuted with a smile: "Mr. Shan, my father-in-law is a law-abiding person, and the talk of robbing prison will never be mentioned again." If you have any doubts, you may wish to meet my father-in-law, and I believe that the lord's guild will give him an explanation. ”

The gentleman was silent for a long time, and suddenly unsheathed his sword and handed it to Chen Yong: "It's okay, I'll go and meet your father-in-law." Now that I have a letter of introduction from Brother Chen, I walked in Qingzhou, and I couldn't use this sword, so I gave it to Brother Chen as a commemoration of your acquaintance. ”

Chen Yong respectfully took the sword and said gratefully: "Mr. Deshan Fu gave me the sword to this small businessman, I am very grateful, Mr. rest assured, I will definitely arrange Mr.'s itinerary." Someone ...... coming."

Chen Yong summoned a young man and advised: "Liu Gongzi, you accompany Mr. all the way to Guanghuan, don't be lazy." ”

The boy even claimed to be. Seeing that this young man, who was obviously dressed as a scholar, was so respectful to Chen Yong, Shan Fu couldn't help but salute Chen Yong again and bow goodbye.

Watching Shan Fu's back gradually disappear from view, Chen Yong turned around and returned to the cabin, took out a carrier pigeon, and wrote a few clumsy words on the paper with a pen: "Shan Fu has entered Qingzhou." ”

Immediately, the note was tied to the pigeon's feet, and the pigeon flapped its wings towards Guanghuan.

Shan Fu, it is the Xu Shu who recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei and left his name in history, he had an ambition when he was young: "The big husband is in the world, he can't make meritorious contributions, and he can't rot with the grass and trees." In history, when he was young, he was captured by mistake, and his accomplices made a big fuss and rescued him. Since then, he changed his purpose, studied in festivals, and met Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou.

However, history has changed slightly with our participation, Xu Shu was supposed to flee south to Nanyang County, but with our response, he began to flee north, and was picked up by Chen Yong from Guandu and entered Qingzhou.

Regarding the whereabouts of Xu Shu in history, he defected to Liu Bei when Liu Bei lived in Xinye. In 208, Cao Cao went south and broke Xinye, Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang were defeated by Cao Cao when they traveled to Changbanpo together, and Xu Shu's mother was also captured by Cao Cao. Xu Shu therefore said to Liu Bei: "The only thing I can do is Xinye County." Now that Shinno is gone, my heart is in turmoil. My mother is at Cao Cao's place, please let me go. After Liu Bei agreed, Xu Shu went to Cao Cao. During the Battle of Chibi, Xu Shu was sent to guard Chang'an in case of Xiliang Ma Teng. After the Battle of Chibi, Xu Shu played a good role as a strategist and was deeply loved by Cao Cao. After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, Xu Shuguan was among the three dukes, and he gave Sima Yi a lot of ideas during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.

At the same time, according to the "Lingshan Weizhi" during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Xu Shu lived in seclusion in the area of Hat Peak in Jiaonan, Qingdao in his later years. The hat peak in Jiaonan still has the remains of Xu Shu Temple. According to analysis, the popularity of Fangshi in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the birth of early chemicals such as fire yao made literati who did not understand chemical reactions feel wonderful, so the alchemy atmosphere was strong. At that time, celebrities Wang Lie, Ji Kang and others were all contaminated with the habit of taking pills. And Langya (Langxi) is the area with the highest concentration of alchemists, with a large number and strength. Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty and the leader of the Fangshi at the same time as Xu Fu, who was respected as an immortal by later generations, was the "Langya Fuxiang Pavilion People", Xu Shu was attracted by Langya's fame and many "immortals", and he also wanted to come here to cultivate into an immortal.

Xu Shu was brave and brave when he was young, and he belonged to a stunned young character, and later he only improved his IQ when he traveled to the Quartet, but he did not make great progress in character. His personality often oscillates between rigidity and impulsiveness, and lacks stability, so his behavior is full of contradictions, and the subsections are both righteous and remorseful, and none of them can be fulfilled by loyalty and filial piety.

However, for such a growth type of talent, in line with the attitude that even if you can't use it, you can't cheapen others, I still made a move. With the help of the fame of Langya County and the old relationship of Chen Qun, a classmate who sat in Langya, we cleverly set up a suspicious situation and attracted the desperate him to Qingzhou in advance. Now, it's harvest time.

Xu Shu worriedly rode on the road from the plain to Luoyin. Behind him, Liu Gongzi accompanied 10 township police officers to serve.

The road runs along Luoshui, another branch of the Yellow River that flows into the sea. In the past, the transitional reclamation of Pingyuan County made the water level of Luoshui too low for navigation. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population decreased, and the policy of returning farmland to plant grass and fruit trees in the plains made Luoshui also navigable. However, because Xu Shu was ready to see the people's situation all the way, he insisted on not taking a boat, and the group had to walk slowly along the main road.

Fruit trees are densely planted on both sides of the road, the beginning of spring was in December of the lunar calendar, and now, it is almost summer, the fruit trees are lush and green, and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere. Since Pingyuan County is mainly planted with fruit trees and flowers, the labor intensity is not large, so in the forest by the roadside, only a few women are busy pruning.

"Alas", Xu Shu sighed deeply, and was about to go to see Liu Bei, this person is the most controversial person in the Central Plains, with mixed reputations and mixed reviews. Generally speaking, he has six evils, and that is:

Brutality: Merchants and ordinary people who enter Qingzhou, do not walk along the main road, do not accept the inspection and tax collection of the card, and will be killed. Not only that, but he also killed and wounded prisoners, drove them to build cities and build roads. As a result, the captives were killed and wounded, and the land of Qingzhou, every road and every castle was made of blood and tears.

Gluttony: Don't get tired of eating, stew is not too beautiful. He often asks the people to study the practice of food, and also organizes cooking competitions during the agricultural and animal husbandry festival to determine the level of the chef and the quality of the deliciousness. Organize people everywhere to plant spices and fruit trees. Spices are used as condiments, and endless fruit trees are used to make fine wine. As a result, there are many restaurants in Qingzhou, which by the way affects the erosion of the atmosphere of Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, and everyone is proud of eating canned food (canned food) in Qingzhou and drinking Qingzhou wine.

Greed: After the Battle of Fatru, soldiers were organized to pick horse skins on the battlefield and sell them into military uniforms (leather armor and leather clothing), and also made horse meat into smoked sausages for sale. What's more, supporting the veterans to organize public auctions of the spoils of war led to the army's plundering nature, and every time the battle was won, all the property of the defeated soldiers would be seized, the clothes of the defeated soldiers would be stripped of their clothes, and then the prisoners would be handed over to the veterans' organizations for the construction of cities and roads. The soldiers, on the other hand, received the prisoners' labor every day, and they were at ease. As a result, Qingzhou officials must take profits into account for every action, despise the laws of the imperial court, and do not do anything unprofitable.

Arrogance: Taking advantage of the status of Izumo's vassal state, he sealed the title of Izumo in Qingzhou, causing the Qingzhou officials to be proud of having the title of vassal country, and ignored the embarrassment of the imperial court. In the spring of the third year of Chuhei, Zhang He, the general of the Izumo vassal country, sent troops to Sanhan, and in the autumn of the fifth year of Zhongping, the rebellion of Sanhan was quelled. Because it was Samhan, who was pacified by his own vassal state, the saint was overjoyed and immediately appointed officials to Samhan to demand that Samhan pay taxes. As a result, these paid officials were expelled by Samhan. The Holy Lords were furious and demanded that the Izumo vassal kingdom send troops to fight against it. As a result, Izumo Castle blamed Liu Bei on the matter, and Liu Bei replied: Izumo's vassal state has put down the rebellion for Sanhan in the spirit of alliance and mutual assistance, but it has no obligation to control Sanhan, nor is it obligated to set up officials in Sanhan (for Shengshang). The saint was helpless about this act of flouting the laws of the imperial court, and of course, the saint did not return the money paid by these officials to buy officials. led officials to collect debts and persecute the Holy ......

Love sex: not only love women, but also openly proclaim that all subordinates love women. It even said: the country is the country, and the family is the first. How can a woman who doesn't love herself love her family? If you don't love your family, how can you love your country? It's just a matter of raising the love for women to a theoretical level, but it is said that one day he inspected the Qingzhou Driving Office and saw a person who worked all night, so he was furious and said: "Don't care about your family, how can you expect you to take care of the people of Qingzhou?" Since then, it is not necessary to depose this official - the love of women has reached such a point that it is unprecedented.

Curiosity: Something that likes strange tricks, whenever he hears that someone has invented something new, he will invite the house to demonstrate it for him. If there is something to be gained, it will be glad to be encouraged. For craftsmen who can make things with strange and obscene skills, they are more polite than scholars. What's more, they also organized people to produce a large number of things with strange and obscene skills, so that these things polluted the Han court.

However, this complex person, in addition to these six evils, also has five great good. Here it is:

Trustworthy: Promise the people of Qingzhou not to pay taxes for a few years, and would rather auction their own property than tax the people. Fortunately, this person has a lot of property, and the things at home are all treasures, and many people buy them every year. After this move, the whole world knows the name of Qingzhou Don't Drive Xinyi, and Liu Xuande's words, even if they don't fall on paper, are a guarantee.

Straightforward: In the imperial court, the exploitation is getting worse, and the counties and counties in various places try their best to conceal the land and taxes, and this person is the only one who does not hide the land and property, and automatically declares the truth to the court and adds taxes. This point has been unanimously praised by the emperor and the bigwigs in the court.

Respect for the teacher: Lu Zhiguan Ning has the name of his teacher, and every year on June 15, he will respectfully present the "Respect for the Teacher Goose" to the two. Lu Zhi was in Beijing and could not be there in person, so he sent people to give gifts every year. Guan You'an teaches in the Qingzhou Noble Academy, and on this day, he will put down his work and walk under Guan You'an. Guan Youan talked with the junior children in the hall, and he listened to Guan Youan's assignment alone in the hall and laid shoes for the juniors. This kind of behavior of respecting teachers really makes some contemporary Confucians proud.

Re-education: This point is associated with love, every time I hear about the great sages of the countryside, I will come to the car and talk with him. After each conversation, he used his own chariot and horse to carry the sage to the village and asked him to teach the villagers. So that Qingzhou Xiangno is left behind. Learning a hundred arts and selling them to the emperor's family is the desire of every scholar, and Liu Bei has won a lot of praise for him in the scholar class. If there are children in each county or township who do not go to school, they must personally recruit the township officials to ask the reason. For the sages and chairs under him, he was paid very richly. The salary is even the same as that of the county guard.

Protecting the people: Every year before and after the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival, he will meet with the villagers from all over the country, listen to the villagers talk about the township government, and every time he hears about the suffering of the people, he can't swallow it. Every time I heard that the people of Qingzhou were being bullied elsewhere, I was furious. A few years ago, he even sent troops to the territory of Zangba, Xuzhou, to arrest thieves who plundered merchants in Qingzhou.

However, even these five virtues are worth scrutinizing. Pay attention to education, the textbooks used in the Qingzhou School Museum were formulated by him and Guan You'an, and the whole text is full of a new method of sentence breaking called punctuation, but it is not compatible with the Han system.

Don't hide the property, but this person always pays the land tax truthfully for various reasons, and always likes to pay most of the taxes in kind. Fortunately, Qingzhou Cargo Saint loves it very much, and it is up to him. And a small part of the agricultural tax, this person always pays for the people himself - selling horses this year, cars next year, and vases for his family the year after. And the implicit meaning of this move is: In the long run, the people of Qingzhou are grateful to Liu Xuande, who is the Qingzhou driver who pays taxes for them every year. The prestige of the Han Dynasty is lost here.

As for the protectors, under his system, all the people who were taught were loyal to Qingzhou and loyal to their Qingzhou people. And his attitude of not hesitating war for the people led to the fact that in Qingzhou, the decree of the Han Dynasty was ignored if it was not stamped with the seal of Qingzhou.

What this person did would have been beheaded by the court long ago if he had to be left under the normal authority of the imperial court, which would have made him pay taxes for the people out of his own pocket. This is already the crime of bribing people's hearts and minds to rebel, and the people are forced to die, they are fooled, and it is a great crime to care about the affairs of local officials and sympathize with the people.

However, now, the Han Dynasty is crumbling, and the disasters and disasters in all directions are continuous, and in the past few years alone, there have been a number of major disasters: in April of the second year of Zhongping, Sili rain and hail, hail as big as chickens, hurt the crops. grain failures;

In July of the second year of Zhongping, the three auxiliary borers were infested, and the grain harvest failed;

In December of the fourth year of Zhongping, rain, thunder and lightning, hail;

In the fifth year of Zhongping, the seven waters of the county and the country came out. These seven counties are talking about the seven counties of "Shanyang, Liangguo, Peiguo, Pengcheng, Xiapi, Donghai, and Langxi".

In June of the fifth year of Zhongping, Bingyin, strong winds uprooted trees (hurricanes). Wounded crops. Grain harvests failed.

In addition, Liangzhou rebelled, and the imperial court fought endlessly. In the fourth year of Zhongping, Han Sui killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and became the supreme commander of the rebel army. At this time, Han Sui had more than 100,000 troops, and Li Xiangru, the Taishou of Longxi, rebelled against Han Sui. Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng contempt led the soldiers of the six counties to fight against Han Sui. In April, Liangzhou rebelled, responded to Han Sui, and killed Geng Cong and Cheng Qiu. Seeing that his master was dead, the contemptuous Sima Ma Teng rebelled, joined forces with Han Sui, elected the kingdom of famous scholars as the main one, and continued to attack the east.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, the Liangzhou rebels besieged Chencang, so the imperial court worshiped Huangfu Song as the left general, Dong Zhuo as the former general, each with 20,000 reinforcements, and the kingdom encircled Chencang from winter to spring for more than 80 days, the rebels were tired and withdrew, Dong Zhuo thought that the theory should not be pursued, the emperor did not listen, attacked alone, and broke the rebels in a big battle. Han Sui then abolished the kingdom, and found Hanyang Yan Zhong to supervise the tribes, Yan Zhong immediately fell ill and died, so the generals of the Liangzhou army began to compete with each other for power and profit, and the rebels in Liangzhou also went into decline. However, the imperial court's rule over Liangzhou was also lost.

At the same time, in the second year of Zhongping, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang seized Yizhou; Hanzhong, Zhang Lu, according to Hanzhong; The remnants of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou are in turmoil; Youzhou Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu contain each other; bandits are rampant in the Huainan area of Yuzhou; Yangzhou mountains are in turmoil; Liaodong is not divided; Jingzhou's wealthy clan rebelled; The three states of the world are full of war. The imperial court lost the supply of money and grain from all over the country, plus the previously lost counties of Liaoxi. Finances and food supplies were suddenly tight.

In this case, Qingzhou, which has frequent wars, has a heavy army, but consciously and voluntarily pays taxes in full, which makes the imperial court feel comfortable. Under the mediation of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China, as long as Qingzhou paid the money and grain taxes on time, even if Qingzhou occasionally offended, the court was powerless, so it had to endure it.

On the one hand, no one doubts Liu Bei's force, and it should be a good thing to be able to obtain such a strong force guarantee in troubled times, but on the other hand, Qingzhou is the place where the war is most frequent, and there are no less than one million remnants of the yellow scarves in Qingxu's activities, and battles of various scales occur every day. Although the public security in Qingzhou is very good, the scholars are still hesitant to enter Qingzhou.

The most important thing is that Liu Bei's identity is not embarrassing or embarrassing, as the ruler of Qingzhou, but he is a different identity, not only that, Liu Bei is also very picky about the scholar's knowledge, no matter how good the poetry is, it is useless, and he must be able to learn, all officials who take office must be assessed, which makes the self-respecting scholar hesitate - if he fails the exam, the reputation of the scholar will be completely ruined.

Under this series of measures, scholars from all over the country not only envied the treatment of Qingzhou scholars, but also hesitated to go out of Qingzhou. Now, Xu Shu is going to see such a person, why did he take action to save himself from such a person with an infamous reputation and a poor family background?

Xu Shu's mind was full of questions, and he pondered on his horse.

On the side of the road, in the castle under the shade of trees, a crisp bell rang, and then a group of children carried wooden sticks out of the castle. This group of children did not have the noise of most children, and under the leadership of a slightly taller child, they shouted the slogan "one-two-one", lined up neatly, and walked along the main road.

"To-salute", the childish voice of the children attracted Xu Shu's attention, and under the order of the team leader's children, the children walked past Xu Shu with a military salute.

Following the children's gaze, Xu Shu was stunned to find that the object of the children's military salute turned out to be Liu Gongzi, who accompanied him. I saw Liu Gongzi straighten up on the horse, happily replied to the military salute, and muttered: "Good job, in another ten years, it will be a group of good soldiers." ”

Xu Shu asked casually: "Liu Gongzi, who are these children?" ”

Liu Gongzi replied while saluting: "The boy scouts of Luoyin Township." ”

Xu Shu fell into contemplation, the title of Gongzi was particular in the Han Dynasty, and only the children of the family of a party were called Gongzi by his subordinates. According to this title, Liu Gongzi is likely to be a nominal son of Xuande Gong, who sent his own righteous son to escort him, which can be said to have given him enough face, and it seems that he is preparing to recruit himself as an official. However, Chen Yong repeatedly called himself "Mr. Shan", and it seems that his identity as a fugitive also made Xuan Degong scruples, in this case, what position would he arrange for himself?
