Chapter 417: The People's Hearts Are Aligned

As soon as he walked out of the county guard mansion and went to the restaurant, all the people he met first saluted Mo Shuyan and honored him as a county guard, and then he saluted Liu Bei and called him Lord Taishou.

The first few people didn't cause any feelings, and when they arrived at the door of the restaurant, the shopkeeper was like this again, and the irritable Zhang Fei suddenly couldn't help but roar: "In your eyes, whether it is too important to guard the Lord or the county to guard the Lord is important, will you not divide the priority?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Bei scolded with an ugly face, and Yu Guang secretly looked at Mo Shuyan, and sure enough, he saw that Mo Shuyan's expression was also a little wrong.

Of course, Mo Shuyan didn't care about Zhang Fei's reprimand, but sighed that the master of high merit really didn't work in any dynasty, even if the boss saw it thoroughly, these subordinates couldn't tolerate it, there would always be contradictions, what Mo Shuyan cared about, but how Liu Bei would solve this problem.

"How can I talk nonsense? This gentleman has only been here for more than a month, and in the eyes of the people of Xiapi County, the eldest brother is no longer as important as him, and after some time, I am afraid that he will be out of the control of the eldest brother, is this worth it? Zhang Fei's swarthy face was still angry, and he accused loudly.

"Third brother, don't say a few words, don't make the eldest brother angry." Guan Yu persuaded.

"When I'm angry, I also want to say that under the rule of the eldest brother, no one else is allowed to establish new forces." Zhang Fei shouted angrily in desperation.

"That's enough."

"Big brother!"

"I've said enough!"

Liu Bei's face was already extremely ugly, taking advantage of this gap, there was already a circle of people around, and his gaze at Zhang Fei was also a little unkind, after all, the plague had just passed, Mo Shuyan didn't know how many people's lives had been saved, and at this time, someone came to accuse Mo Shuyan, so naturally he couldn't get the support of these people.

Slowing down slightly, Liu Bei calmed down a little, only then did he look around, and finally his eyes stayed on Mo Shuyan's face for a few moments, seeing that Mo Shuyan did not show anger, his heart settled down a little, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. saved the people of Liming in dire straits, and it is understandable to get the respect and support of the people, if Mr. can really lead the Han family to recover in the future, even if I am allowed to give up the position of Xuzhou Taishou, what is the big deal?" ”

"Third brother, you have been blinded by the so-called power, and you don't know at all that only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world, and I am very disappointed in you."

Hearing this, the anger on Zhang Fei's face suddenly turned into a look of guilt, and he looked at Liu Bei heavily, but he didn't know what to say.

Then, Liu Bei turned around, looked at Mo Shuyan, and said solemnly: "I am unhappy with Mr. today, and I hope that Mr. will not go to his heart, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will set up a banquet to welcome him, and now I am in no mood, Xuande will leave for the time being." ”

After stacking this sentence, Liu Bei didn't look at Zhang Fei, so he left straight away, his face was still a little ugly, and he invited Mo Shuyan to use the second meal, but he was messed up by Zhang Fei like this, and left a bad impression on the people, but Liu Bei was in a bad mood.

"I blame you, why don't you catch up and explain to the eldest brother."

Guan Yu frowned and pulled Zhang Fei over and followed Liu Bei.

Here, only Mo Shuyan and Zhuge Liang remained, as well as many people.

Looking at Liu Bei's departing figure, Mo Shuyan also had a result in his heart, no matter how well Liu Bei said it, but more or less, Zhang Fei's meaning was still recognized by Liu Bei, who wouldn't hope that under the rule of the county, there would be people with a higher reputation than the master, which is not conducive to managing the territory.

And behind Liu Bei's remarks, there must be some concerns about Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's views, both of them have great respect for Mo Shuyan, once they fall out, it is very likely that these two will leave with Mo Shuyan, then Liu Bei's loss will be much greater.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable it was, Mo Shuyan suddenly made a decision in his heart, looked at the people and said: "Uncle Liu Huang cares about the world and works for the well-being of the people, which is really for everyone, and I just want to protect the small family, and I hope that everyone can contribute to the Han family, strive for no war as soon as possible, and can enjoy the peaceful and prosperous world and get rid of everyone." ”

"The meaning of the county guard, I will understand."

"I'll see."

.....

The shouting sound spread quickly like an echo, Mo Shuyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "The big guys are all scattered, don't delay things." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people were immediately busy again, and they no longer had the intention of disturbing Mo Shuyan.

Immediately, Mo Shuyan turned around, invited Zhuge Liang, and said as he walked into the restaurant: "I have invited you to dinner." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Zhuge Liang said without resistance.

Mo Shuyan, who wanted to sit in the lobby, was invited to the private room by the shopkeeper.

Sitting on the opposite side, Mo Shuyan ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine, and it didn't take long for them to be served, this special treatment made Mo Shuyan a little uncomfortable, compared to this, Mo Shuyan preferred others to treat him as a common person much better.

Zhuge Liang took the initiative to pick up the wine jug, first poured Mo Shuyan full of wine, and then poured himself wine.

"Mr. Kong Mingjing, a cup."

After speaking, Zhuge Liang raised his wine glass to Mo Shuyan, drank it all, Mo Shuyan immediately smiled and drank the wine in the cup, and then Zhuge Liang toasted Mo Shuyan's second and third cups, and Mo Shuyan did not refuse.

After three rounds of drinking, Mo Shuyan said softly: "Have you drunk enough wine, just say whatever you want." ”

"Then I'll be blunt."

Since it was seen by Mo Shuyan, Zhuge Liang immediately stopped hesitating, and asked in a deep voice: "Sir, I want to ask, the people's hearts are the same, will it really be brought disaster by the subordinates?" ”

"In two situations, the first is that the people are aspiring, when you become a person who concentrates power, one person is below ten thousand people, and the monarch cannot easily deal with you, so that the people's will will be desired by you, which is conducive to the promulgation and implementation of internal affairs."

After a pause, Mo Shuyan's eyes condensed slightly, and then said: "The second way, let the people's hearts be oriented to the monarch, if you can't guarantee your own safety, then you must let the things that win the people's hearts be implemented by the monarch, and you must not be contaminated with half of the people's hearts, so that you can protect yourself." ”

"What kind of gentleman does that belong to?"

"The second type."

As soon as these words came out, the private room suddenly fell into silence, and then Zhuge Liang asked, "What does Mr. plan to do next?" ”

"Resign and go into hiding, don't ask about political affairs."

Mo Shuyan did not hide his decision.

"Kong Ming is willing to leave with Mr." Zhuge Liang said without hesitation.

"No."

Mo Shuyan directly refused, and said in a deep voice: "You haven't shown your talent yet, how can you be dusty?" ”

Zhuge Liang is a smart person after all, Mo Shuyan has already refused, and he is not easy to force, so he asked: "Then which one should I choose?" ”

"The things of the people's hearts, act when they see the opportunity, and if they can't enter, they will retreat."

"I see."

"Drink."

"Okay, I'll give you another drink."
