"This time the party members are already openly threatening Your Majesty! It's a pity that the old man and the others are old and have the heart to do something for His Majesty, but they ...... "Walking on the way out of the palace, Lu Zhi looked into the distance with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Master Lu should be strong and strong, how can he say that he is old." Ye Zhao shook his head and said: "The appearance of this printing technique this time, for the scholars, is an opportunity, but it is also a big risk, the courtiers are solidified in their thinking, and they are unwilling to change, so they will be so tough, although this time it has dragged on for a while, but I am afraid that soon the scholars will join forces to exert pressure, and it will only be more ferocious at that time." ”

Looking left and right, Ye Zhao whispered to Lu Zhi: "And Zhao is worried about His Majesty's body, I'm afraid that if it continues like this, it will be tormented by these scholars, and then it will be a real blow to my big man." ”

"Humph!" A flash of anger flashed in Lu Zhi's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "If this is the case, it is not necessary to fight for this old life, and also to protect this great Han country for Your Majesty." ”

Ye Zhao just nodded when he heard this, and did not answer, with the current situation, if Liu Hong is here, the Han can continue, once Liu Hong falls, whether it is Liu Wei or Liu Xie, it is difficult to bear the burden of the Han Dynasty, which is not something that one or two people can reverse.

"Xiu Ming, I have something I want to ask you." Walking outside the palace gate, Lu Zhi did not sit in a sedan chair, but continued to follow Ye Zhao on foot.

"Master Lu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"This matter has been pondered in my heart for several years, and today I still can't help but want to ask Xiu Ming." Lu Zhi looked at Ye Zhao, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Why should Master Lu and I be so polite? A few years ......" In the end, Ye Zhao's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Lu Zhi and said, "Master Lu wants to ask Liu Bei?" ”

At the beginning, Ye Zhao, who was tired of Liu Bei, was almost wiped out, and in anger, Ye Zhao wanted to cure Liu Bei's crime at that time, even if he didn't kill him, he would be knocked into the dust.

Huang Fu Song originally said that he wanted to take care of Lu Zhi's face, but Ye Zhao knew that among them, there was more or less Huang Fu Song who wanted to beat himself, and now the times have changed, and Ye Zhao actually didn't want to care about the original matter, if it wasn't for Lu Zhi to mention it, I am afraid that this matter would have been forgotten by Ye Zhao long ago.

"Xiu Ming is smart." Lu Zhi nodded and said: "The old man has a lot of disciples in his life, if you say that the most important one, one is that Yuyang Gongsun Zhan, this son has a strong temperament, a heroic spirit, and a strategy in the art of war. ”

"Liu Bei is a person, he is very talented and sparse, Zhaoshi doesn't know how he can be valued by Master Lu?" Ye Zhao looked at Lu Zhi, this is also a question he has always been unable to figure out, judging from Liu Bei's performance at that time, there were some bravery, and there were also some city governments, but that's all, at least the battle of the army, Liu Bei at that time really had nothing to show off.

"Xuande is a person who likes food and good clothes, and sometimes, he is too ...... Frivolous ...... "Lu Zhi didn't know how to evaluate the shortcomings of his disciple for a while, in fact, these problems, if they are put on the children of the family, even if they are from a background like Ye Zhao, there is no problem, the conditions in their family can completely allow them to have sufficient material conditions to pursue these things, but Liu Bei is different, his father died early, and his mother weaves mats and sells shoes for a living, in short, Liu Bei's family is completely unqualified to let him squander it so much.

Ye Zhao looked at Lu Zhi and did not answer, he believed that if Liu Bei was just like this, it would be impossible for Lu Zhi to value him.

"However, this son is tenacious and unyielding, the old man has read countless people in his life, but his ambition is strong, few people can match, but his background is too low, he always wants to associate with celebrities, likes fancy clothes and food, and also hopes to be able to make friends with celebrities, but it's a pity that he ......" Lu Zhi sighed and didn't continue.

Ye Zhao suddenly understood Liu Bei a little, in this era when his background was almost ruined, Liu Bei was like the little people in those comedies, in order to be able to put himself on the stage, in order to enter the circle that he envied, he worked hard to package himself, and slapped his swollen face and became fat, not really luxurious, just to be able not to be despised by others, and to make himself more like a character in that circle, but his ability and background are by no means something that can be made up for by fancy clothes and food, so it is destined to be a tragedy.

And after Liu Bei saw a lot, he naturally recognized the reality, in fact, when Ye Zhao saw Liu Bei, Liu Bei had no such problems, his clothes were not luxurious, but they were very neat, but unfortunately, his ability was still not enough, and Liu Bei at that time was still a little ambitious, Ye Zhao was kind to make friends, but he was bent on climbing Huang Fu Song's thigh, which eventually led to Ye Zhao's disgust, and Huang Fu Song never looked at it from beginning to end.

"At that time, Lu Shi should know something, because he lightly advanced the enemy, causing our army to be almost wiped out, if it weren't for Lu Shi's feelings, Zhao Zhen wanted to deal with it by military law at that time!" Ye Zhao shook his head, looked at Lu Zhi and said, "I haven't pursued this matter since then, Lu Shi mentioned this person today, but why?" ”

"Xiu Ming, do you know what happened to Xuande after he left?" Lu Zhi looked at Ye Zhaodao.

"I don't know." Ye Zhao shook his head, no matter then or now, Liu Bei can only be regarded as a small shrimp in front of Ye Zhao, no matter how high Liu Bei's achievements are in history, but now Liu Bei, Ye Zhao really doesn't even have the mood to look at it, let alone pay attention to it.

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly: "Originally, according to the merits, I wanted him to seek the position of county lieutenant, although it was not high, but it could be regarded as having an identity, but when the meritorious records were recorded, because of the battle of Naxi'e, not only was it useless, but it was done, but it was just remembered that the old man's face was not punished, but he was sent back to his hometown and not rewarded." ”

Ye Zhao nodded, he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, with the mistakes Liu Bei made at that time, this kind of ending was already very good.

"The year before last, the general ordered Wu Qiu Yi to recruit troops in Danyang, Xuande had joined, and won the battle with the thieves when he was in Xiapi, and was appointed as the next secret Cheng, and soon after somehow, he resigned and did not do it, and then the old man was shown as Gao Tang Lieutenant, and then he was promoted to Gao Tang Ling because of his merits, and then Gao Tang was broken by thieves soon after, and this official position was naturally lost."

Ye Zhao looked at Lu Zhi speechlessly, in just a few years, Liu Bei's life has really been ups and downs, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, right?

"Master Lu has a word, you might as well say it bluntly, if you can do it, you will not shirk." Ye Zhao sighed, looked at Lu Zhi, and probably knew what Lu Zhi wanted to do, it was nothing more than to ask for Liu Bei's office, and now among the imperial party, Ye Zhao is the only one who holds real power, and he can't ask for He Jin because of Liu Bei.

"Now Xuande has gone to Bo Jue's account, but he is limited to the previous destruction of the city, and it is difficult to obtain an official title, so he asks the old man by letter." Lu Zhi looked at Ye Zhao and said with a wry smile.

"Youzhou?" Ye Zhao's heart moved when he heard this, now Youzhou Mu Liu Yu has gradually sat firmly in the position of state pastor, but Gongsun Zhan's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, he has been in Youzhou, and he knows very well that the people of Youzhou are fierce, Liu Yu's set of Huairou policies are not very open in Youzhou, but if it is about governance, Liu Yu is obviously stronger than Gongsun Zhan, but if it is about military strength, Gongsun Chan is obviously stronger and more popular, if it is not Gongsun Chan who will rule Youzhou in the future but Liu Yu or Liu Bei, I don't know if Yuan Shao can still sweep the land of Sizhou and become the overlord of the north?

"Since Lu Shi spoke, then Zhao will help him again, tomorrow I will recommend him to Shang Shutai, Liu Youzhou is now just coming to Youzhou, there is a shortage of generals around him, I see that his three brothers are brave, so I recommend that Liu Bei as the captain, Zhang Fei assisted him, and that Guan Yu is quite generous, I want to recommend him as Gongsun Bo Jue's other Sima, I don't know what Lu Shi wants?"

Ye Zhao has actually always wanted to separate the three brothers, but he has no chance, and Ye Zhao has been busy with disputes between the DPRK and China in the past few years, and he can't take care of that side, now that Lu Zhi took the initiative to come over to say something, he just took this opportunity to separate Guan Yu and Liu Bei, and with this kindness, he will also have some friendship with Guan Yu in the future, as long as the time is ripe, he may not be able to win Guan Yu over.

"With Xiuming's words, the old man is relieved." When Lu Zhi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Ye Zhao.

"Master Lu doesn't have to be like this, Zhao has no relatives in the court these years, if it weren't for Master Lu's help, how could he be today?" Ye Zhao sighed, with Lu Zhi's character, he can pull down his face to ask for him, which can also show the importance of Liu Bei.

"Xiu Ming can have today, it all depends on Xiu Ming's own merits, what is the use of the old man?" Lu Zhi shook his head and waved his hand and said with a smile: "If he has the opportunity in the future, Xuande can enter Beijing, and the old man should ask him to personally apologize to Xiuming." ”

"Master Lu is serious." Ye Zhao smiled and shook his head, what the old man said may be sincere, he also believes that with Liu Bei's character, if he can enter Beijing, even if he doesn't need Lu Zhi to say, he will come to make amends in person, but Ye Zhao doesn't think that Liu Bei has a chance to enter Beijing, if possible, he hopes to be able to give Liu Bei to Youzhou, maybe he can do something, but Youzhou is a barren land, which has already limited Liu Bei's future, not the earlier he rises, the faster he will develop, the sooner he rises, and sometimes the faster he perishes.

After deciding Liu Bei's affairs, Lu Zhi did not leave, but discussed the situation with Ye Zhao all the way and went to Cai Yong's mansion.

Now the scholars are already in a bit of a hurry to jump over the wall, He Jin is not clear, and he is still being used as a gun by the scholars, Ye Zhao is too lazy to order He Jin now, but the imperial party is a little declining, and it is urgent for a respected person like Cai Yong to come out and support the scene and erect a banner to confront the scholars.

Although Ye Zhao is famous and trusted by the Son of Heaven, but as far as Shilin is concerned, the weight is still too light, if Cai Yong can be moved out, plus Lu Zhi, it is completely possible to win Ma Riyan and these clear streams to the side of the imperial party and balance the current situation in the DPRK and China.

After all, the Ten Standing Servants are a little unacceptable, and once Liu Hong is dead, the Ten Standing Servants are not qualified to compete with the scholars or He Jin at all.
