Liu Bei snickered in his heart.

Strictly speaking, the Holy Lord did leave Beijing without permission this time.

According to the ritual system, the Holy Lord's patrol must be announced to the world one year in advance, so that local officials can prepare for it. The accompanying officials and ministers had to go to various places along the route in advance to wait for the escort...... But the current emperor is an empty shell, and the government and government have been taken over by the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are not many of him, not a lot of him, and there is no official business for him to deal with. Under the selfish actions of Lu Zhi and other officials, the emperor left the capital easily.

Cao Cao's power came from the imperial court, and without the existence of an emperor, the Prime Minister's Mansion was a joke. Therefore, Cao Cao was most worried that Liu Bei would take the opportunity to detain the emperor and set up another court. As soon as the emperor came out of Beijing, someone rushed to report to Cao Cao, and when he got the letter, he chased after him, and delayed a lot of time, and the emperor had successfully entered Mount Tai.

Under Liu Bei's governance for more than ten years, Qingzhou has become a big arsenal. Cao Cao, who had suffered a loss, did not allow his soldiers and horses to enter Mount Tai, so as not to cause Liu Bei's overreaction. Fortunately, Liu Bei's faith and righteousness were outstanding, and it was an agreement between Liu and Cao to support Cao Cao to grasp the central power, so Cao Cao had no choice but to start from here, send an envoy to question, and ask Liu Bei to keep his promise.

Knowing the reason, Liu Bei didn't mind Li Dian's offense, and said in a relaxed tone: "This matter is easy to solve, why should Brother Meng De panic - write a seal and pass it on to Taishan County, explaining that the saint went out of Beijing to violate the etiquette system and asked the emperor to return quickly, and Taishan County has this excuse, so he will naturally send His Majesty out of the country." ”

Li Dian's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "It's so simple?" ”

Liu Bei nodded affirmatively and said: "The emperor entered Mount Tai, although it was quite restrained, but it was still like locusts crossing the border along the way, and the palace people took the opportunity to blackmail, eat and take cards, and the people of Mount Tai were miserable, and there were a lot of complaints. According to the etiquette system, the emperor entered Mount Tai to watch the performance of the agricultural and animal husbandry festival, and the people of Li must kneel on the ground to greet them, and they can not look up. ”

Liu Bei chuckled lightly and said: "The reason why the celebration of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival is popular in Qingzhou is because it is a festival in which the people participate in a group and a festival for the people to celebrate the harvest. Through this festival, the people's sense of belonging, honor, and gratitude to their hometown and even their state have been cultivated. If His Majesty came to watch the ceremony as an ordinary person, the people of Li would express and convey the joy of the harvest to him, but he had to put up the emperor's shelf, ask the local officials to follow the etiquette system, hum, give the officials of Taishan County a reason, and they would immediately pack up for the emperor. ”

Li Dian showed a look of unbearability on his face, and asked: "What my lord means is that after Your Majesty has watched the ceremony, as long as Duke Xuande can guarantee that he will be released to His Majesty, it will be nothing to play in Taishan County for a few days." I can hear what Xuan Degong meant, he plans to send His Majesty back to the palace immediately. The emperor had gone to watch the ceremony, and let him go back without seeing anything, which was too harsh for a child. ”

"But if he sees everything, the people won't see anything", Liu Bei's expression was cold, he turned around and took out a seal from the pile of documents and threw it to Li Dian, and after he finished reading the seal with a puzzled expression, Liu Bei pointed to the seal in his hand and said: "Everyone has their own responsibilities that need to be fulfilled, as an emperor, every move is a major national event, I hope that through this lesson, the emperor can understand: when he enjoys supreme power, there is still an obligation that must be fulfilled." Take this seal back to Brother Cao Mengde, how to deal with it, let him watch it. ”

Li Dian frowned and flipped through the seal in his hand again. This is an impeachment seal of the Qingzhou Senate, impeached by the current Prime Minister Cao Mengde, and piggyback on Liu Bei.

In the seal, Cao Mengde was accused of not teaching the emperor strictly, making His Majesty ridiculous, leaving the palace without authorization, and playing around. At the same time, Liu Bei was impeached for not abiding by the way of courtiers, and when the emperor was touring the mountains and rivers, he did not persuade him, and tacitly acquiesced in the reception of local officials and accompanied His Majesty to play. The first sign on the seal is Guan Ning, and all the ministers in Qingzhou are jointly signed on the seal.

This impeachment stamp is not legally binding, and the Qingzhou Senate only passed this impeachment motion, publicly condemning Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Li Dian looked up at Liu Bei carefully, secretly calculating the date.

Judging from the time of signing on the seal, it should be a spontaneous action of the Qingzhou Senate - if it was instructed by Liu Bei, this seal would not have been transmitted to Lu'an in the south.

Li Dian didn't understand.

It is said that Liu Bei was regarded as a god-like existence in Qingzhou, but this seal reprimanded Liu Bei by name, not only saying that he connived at the emperor's frolic and disturbing the people, but also accused Liu Bei himself of treating war as a game, enjoying it all year round, and neglecting the management of the civil affairs of the four prefectures of Qinghai, Hebei, and Youzhou.

"Such laziness has never been heard of." The seal concludes.

Could it be that something happened in Qingzhou? Could it be that Liu Bei lost control of Qingzhou? Li Dian held the seal as if he had obtained a treasure, and so many important ministers signed against Liu Bei's seal, Cao Gong must have been happy to see it.

Facing Li Dian's puzzled and happy gaze, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of Liu Bei's mouth, and said, "Look, this is what I said about my duty." As soon as this matter is over, I must also go back to Qingzhou immediately to be questioned. Tell Brother Meng De that as soon as his seal arrives, His Majesty will be sent out of the country as a gift. However, the seal I submitted the day before yesterday recommending Chen Deng to take over as the pastor of Xuzhou asked him to approve it quickly. ”

Li Dian cautiously probed: "When Xuande Gong returns to Qingzhou, do you need our army to escort him?" ”

Liu Bei looked up to the sky and laughed and said, "You don't understand, maybe Brother Cao understands." Thank you for your trouble, you can go back first. ”

Li Dian retreated in panic, and behind the tent, Lu Su flashed out and asked: "Lord, why don't you explain it to him clearly, what if Cao Mengde reads the impeachment seals of the elders and thinks that the lord's foundation is unstable and comes to attack the lord?" ”

Liu Bei walked back to the table, flipped through the documents in his hand, and replied: "Cao Cao is suspicious, I calmly show him this seal, he will think that this is a bait, and he will definitely take out this matter to discuss with the ministers, and after he understands the cause and effect of this matter clearly, he will have a deeper understanding of the system of Qingzhou - the superior has the responsibility of the superior, Cao Cao himself and Cao Yingzhu will have a deeper understanding of how the love of the people came from after this incident." ”

It is not terrible for the government to do something wrong, but what is terrible is that after doing something wrong, it does everything possible to cover up the truth, and the education of the "inner saint and outer king" of the people makes everyone accustomed to the fact that the leader must be perfect and flawless, and the subordinates only have a submissive share to them. Qingzhou's seal will definitely subvert the inherent thinking of Cao Ying's generals and make them realize that only honesty can win the trust of the people. The government does not have to cover up its mistakes, only when it is honest with the people, can the government have credibility among the people; In addition, only when heroes return to the world, flesh and blood, will the people rush to follow suit.

They may not understand this truth at first, but as long as the seeds are planted, let them slowly grasp it, and then ......

"The more perfect the moral model is, the more it will confuse the people, and the more the world will feel that it is practical to say one thing and do another, and the example will have no meaning to follow." Liu Bei shook a seal and said meaningfully: "Buddhism is a good faith, but there is always the power to turn magic into decay in our culture. Cultivation lies in cultivating the mind, not in cultivating the body, and if the mind is not good, it is useless to chant any scriptures in the mouth. ”

Lu Su took the seal handed by Liu Bei, glanced at it hastily, and asked: "This seal was sent by the Governor of Moling (militia command) ten days ago, and the lord has not replied to it. Now Cao Cao has expressed his position, and the overall situation of Xuzhou has been decided. What is the plan of the Lord for the matter of Pope Yin Dong summoning the people to prepare for the conquest of Zhenrong? ”

Liu Bei's face sank like water: "I dictated, you wrote to the Great Pope Yin Dong, and said: Zhao Yu is not my sectarian, and now he is an official in Xuzhou, in what capacity did you come forward to launch a crusade against the sect?" Conflicts between parishioners and parishioners should not be started by you and me. It is ordered that, on the day of the arrival of this letter, the armed forces shall be disarmed immediately, and it shall not be allowed to cross the thunder pond for a single step. ”

Lu Su was full of trepidation, trembling and trembling to write this harshly worded letter to the Great Pope, and after stamping Liu Bei's seal, he quickly sent people to Moling.

After Lu Su packed up his pen and ink, Liu Bei got up and left his seat, paced a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "The current three major events, the inheritance of Xuzhou; the problem of attacking Yuan Shu; The matter of the Moling Sect has been resolved. Zijing, do you think we should speed up the pace and capture Shouchun? ”

Lu Su walked to Liu Bei's desk, picked up the letters on the table, and replied: "The officials from all over Jiujiang County have taken office, and Shouchun has become an isolated city. The city wall of Shouchun was nothing more than an earthen rampart (it was not until the Ming Dynasty that the Xi'an city wall was changed to brick, and then the custom of brick city walls arose throughout the country. This kind of earthen ramparts, we mobilize catapults to concentrate a little bombardment, and it is not a problem to break the city. But what I'm worried about is that Shouchun City has been besieged for many days, what if there is a plague in the city? ”

Liu Bei held his cheeks and pondered: "There is a lot of rain in the south, and the rammed earth walls are not firm, and the city of Shouchun City is easy to break, and it is difficult to enter the city." Perhaps, we should go as planned, wait a little longer, and wait until the outbreak of the epidemic decreases in the winter, and then we will enter the city? ”

Liu Bei said, shook his head helplessly, and said: "The Shouchun war is not over, and the Senate is so harsh, if I don't go back quickly, I'm afraid Qingzhou will make a noise." Alas, it's a matter of both ends. ”

There was a commotion outside the door, and Dian Wei broke in in a hurry, and reported: "Chen Zhi came to Shouchun to report urgently, Yuan Shu abandoned the city and left, leading his family to flee to Yicheng, and Zhou Yu is leading the army to pursue. However, Yuan Shu's forward was thirty miles away from Yicheng, and he turned around to break through to the north, and General Zhou sent a message, hoping that the lord would cooperate in the attack. ”

The two people in the hall were very calm, as if they had expected it. Liu Bei raised his eyebrows lightly and motioned for Dian Wei to beckon Chen to come in. Lu Su then asked, "What is the situation in Shouchun City?" ”

Chen Zhi saluted and replied: "The epidemic in the city has broken out, and it has become a ghost, and our army does not dare to enter the city." General Zhou, in accordance with the previous orders of the lord, blocked the four gates, but some of the people have already taken advantage of the chaos to leave the city, and our army is searching everywhere. ”

"Sure enough", Liu Bei said hatefully: "There must be a lot of people dead in the city, why is Yuan Shu alone not dead." ”

Chen replied: "It is said that when the epidemic first started, Yuan Shu held a prayer ceremony to borrow life from the people in the city, and each person borrowed a year of life. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and if he really succeeds in borrowing life, Yuan Shu should have a lifespan of 100,000 years. Later, when the epidemic broke out, the people in the city said that Yuan Shu made trouble when he sacrificed to the sky, not borrowing a year from others, but borrowing all the lives of others, so a large number of residents in the city died. ”

Lu Su shook his head, and Liu Bei sneered at his face: "The longevity of the father, on the one hand, depends on the grace of the father, and on the other hand, it also depends on one's own health level - can Yuan Shu live for 100,000 years?" Pass my order, be sure to kill Yuan Shu, I want to see if the 100,000-year-old Yuan Shu will die. ”

Lu Su suggested on the side: "Let the military doctors enter the city quickly to prevent the spread of the epidemic." In addition, it is necessary to isolate those infected people who have wandered to the townships, and it is necessary to urgently issue orders that all townships and counties should closely control the water sources, and that the bodies found must be burned immediately, and then buried in the depths after burning, and all those who come into contact with the corpses must be isolated. ”

Since the discovery of typhoid bacilli in Qingzhou, Qingzhou officials' understanding of the disease has taken a big step, and many people of insight have realized that the large-scale outbreak of plague has nothing to do with people's morality, but is closely related to people's hygiene habits. At the same time, there is also an understanding of the source of infection. After several years of publicity, the people of the southern counties also vaguely know some knowledge about the disease.

The fear of death is innate, after the destruction of Shouchun City, the army outside the city did not dare to enter the city, and the people living in the city thought that they were healthy, and tried every possible way to escape from hell, and these epidemics spread to the villages, and people in this place must be terrified.

"Typhoid fever is not a very serious epidemic", Liu Bei comforted the anxious Lu Su: "Tell the people of Sixiang that as long as they insist on drinking boiled water and develop the hygienic habit of washing their hands, they will not be infected." Even if you get sick, as long as you isolate and seek medical attention quickly, it's nothing. Tell people everywhere that we already have the appropriate treatment and don't panic. ”

Typhoid fever is transmitted through water sources, and it cannot be infected when entering and leaving Shouchun City, in order to suppress panic, Liu Bei ordered: "Order Shouchun to garrison, the previous order is invalid, immediately dredge the city gate, and I will enter the city to appease the people." ”

In Jiujiang County, Yuan Shu's remnants were defeated and blocked the Qingzhou cavalry round after round of pursuit, and reluctantly fled to the bank of the Huai River. Of course, if not, the Qingzhou soldiers were afraid of contagious diseases, and ten Yuan Shu were also killed.

Yuan Shu, who was breathing a little, was thirsty, and ordered his subordinates to fill water for him, and when his subordinates scooped a helmet full of river water with an iron helmet and presented it to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu took a sip, then spit it out to the ground, and asked angrily: "Why not honey?" ”

The subordinate replied, "There is no honey, only blood." ”

Yuan Shu was angry when he heard this, vomited blood again and again, and swallowed his last breath that night.

After Yuan Shu's death, his subordinates fell apart, and they divided Yuan Shu's property and scattered. There are also people who support Yuan Shu's eldest son, Yuan Yao, to ascend the throne. However, less than an hour after Yuan Yao ascended the throne, his head was cut off by the group of "loyal" courtiers who supported him as a gift to Liu Bei.
