Chapter 87: Liu Bei's Chance
All along, Cao Cao has been active under Liu Wei and has become a great loyal minister. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe was the biggest general in Shu Han and was almost in charge of the military power of Shu Han. But in fact, there is such an existence as a prison in the army.
On the one hand, he did not directly interfere with military power, but on the other hand, he constantly propagated the idea of loyalty to the emperor, and at the same time opened a night school for officers, trained middle and lower-level officers, and even served as the principal himself.
and with Zhang Heng's Heavenly Master Dao, he constantly propagated the patriotic spirit of loyalty to the monarch and deified himself at the grassroots level. Such a dual impetus from the top down and from the bottom up enabled Liu Wei to control the military and political affairs of Shu Han.
The only thing that makes Liu Wei depressed is that the problems of Bashu and Wu Yue are the same, and the lack of population is the biggest problem.
In this era, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou and Yangzhou are all wild and uninhabited lands. Among them, there are many Wuyue mountain people, which can somewhat alleviate the problem of insufficient population; Yizhou is not good, there are mountains everywhere, the mountain roads are difficult to walk, there are no people in themselves, those barbarians are really not convinced by Wang Hua's life, and I don't know how long it will take to educate.
Liu Wei had no choice but to look to Jingzhou, where many displaced people fled after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which not only promoted the local economy, but also promoted social development. The key is that the population is surplus, and if you can migrate some to Bashu, you can solve a lot of problems.
Just in order not to stimulate Wang Rui's nerves, many actions were not performed. At present, only an agreement has been reached with Wang Rui, and part of the army has entered Jingzhou to assist them in garrisoning the frontier.
As for Cao Cao, this hero, who originally achieved Cao Wei's hegemony in history, has now become a loyal minister of Xinghan. is like Zhuge Liang, conscientious and dedicated.
This era is different from the original history, and the current situation is still the situation of the separation of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. However, it was separated from Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Liu Bei, and became a tripartite confrontation between Liu Wei, Liu Xie and Li Yu.
At this level, it is no longer a struggle between several princes, but a struggle between the vassals represented by the family, the imperial power represented by Liu Bian, and Li Yu, who crosses the three parties. Unfortunately, in this situation, Li Yu's disadvantages are clear.
As for speculation, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Jian are the three people who have ascended to the position step by step, and in today's general situation, they are naturally buried. Cao Cao became a loyal minister, Liu Bei became a petty officer under Gongsun Zhan, and Sun Jian was still his Changsha Taishou.
Talent is talent, no matter where it is, it will not be willing to be mediocre. Where everyone doesn't know, they are actually quietly working hard for their future.
"Luoyang, I didn't expect to come back here after going around in a circle......" Liu Bei looked at the towering city wall with mixed feelings.
Last time he came, he was a victor and came to report with glory. As a result, he went around in a circle, not to mention losing the official position of the county order, and finally took refuge in Gongsun Zan and reluctantly became a petty officer. Now that I have come here as a messenger, I don't know what kind of opportunities will come. But if you think about it carefully, in Luoyang, a place where gate valves gather, what is he a small officer?
Temporarily lived in an inn under the jurisdiction of Da Honglu, which was originally dedicated to entertaining foreign guests, but probably in order to show the importance of Gongsun Zhan's envoy, it was arranged for him to live in, in the final analysis, it was for Gongsun Zhan's face.
"Sure enough, the big husband has no power in his hands!" After Liu Bei got off the house, he carefully recalled the high-minded expressions of those officials, as well as the social-style smiles, and had mixed feelings in his heart.
He is just a petty officer, and even now, he belongs to the kind of existence that is too much and too little.
"Perhaps, it's time for me to pay a visit to the teacher!" Liu Bei thought about it, and while it was still dark, he bought some gifts and went to visit Lu Zhi. Although Lu Zhi doesn't care about things now, his reputation is still there, as long as he is willing to help, he can solve some problems.
When I got to the door, I was about to hand over the post, but I didn't want a convoy to arrive here. In terms of scale, Liu Bei could see at a glance that this should be the car of the Son of Heaven!
After a short time, naturally a guard informed the porter that His Majesty had arrived, and the porter immediately sent someone to inform Lu Zhi and opened the door at the same time. Generally speaking, guests and even people inside enter and exit through a small door, but His Majesty personally drove to such a major event, so it was natural to open the main gate.
This thing has four or five hundred pounds in one fan, and a person may not be able to push it, so it really won't be opened under normal circumstances.
"Minister Lu Zhi, see Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi naturally came out to greet him in person, and naturally saw Liu Bei who was embarrassed on the side. It's just that he really can't take care of him at this stage, after all, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is here, and there can be no rudeness.
"Aiqing is exempt! By the way, this seems to be a guest who came to visit, right? Liu Xie slowly got out of the carriage with the support of his attendants, and also noticed Liu Bei on the side, and even noticed Lu Zhi's subtle expression, so he asked.
"This is Liu Bei, an unworthy disciple of Lu......" Lu Zhi saw Liu Xie asking, so he briefly introduced, and even gave Liu Bei a look, signaling him to explain his intentions.
"Minister Liu Bei, I've seen Your Majesty! This generation of classmate Gongsun Zan came to Luoyang to discuss the matter of surrender! Liu Bei arched his hand and said, naturally concealing his affairs under Gongsun Zhan, and only said that he came here as a classmate.
Liu Xie also heard it, thinking that Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan had a good relationship, and even became good friends, so he asked him to come over as a messenger, and immediately attached great importance to this Liu Bei.
The key is that during this time, he often asked Lu Zhi for scriptures, so Lu Zhi was also half of his master. In this way, Liu Bei can naturally be regarded as half of his classmates. I haven't seen it before, but since it's a senior brother, it should naturally be close.
"Then let's come in together, everyone is their own people, why wait outside?" Originally, according to the rules, he must have finished the visit first, and then let Liu Bei in. But Liu Xie sold a face to Lu Zhi, so he asked Liu Bei to come in with him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi and Liu Bei thanked each other. The difference is that Liu Bei found out at that time that this may be an opportunity for him to soar; But Lu Zhi probably knew why Liu Bei came to him, and seeing that Liu Xie was interested in him, he immediately understood that the problem seemed to be half solved.
As for whether Liu Bei can capture Liu Xie's heart and get his attention, it depends on his ability. If you can't do that, then you don't plan to continue to help him. Many times, unscrupulous disciples are often a self-humble statement, but if it really comes to that point, this Liu Bei is really an unscrupulous disciple who can't support the wall in the mud.
The two sides sat down, and it was already evening, but Lu Zhi didn't think that Liu Xie would come over before he had eaten. On the contrary, Liu Bei didn't know if he had eaten it...... Fortunately, the latter didn't show anything, so everyone just served some tea and snacks, and these snacks were mainly to take care of Liu Bei, who hadn't eaten.
It's just that Liu Bei cares more about his career than his stomach, so he secretly tightened his belt to try not to make a fool of himself. At most, when Liu Xie was too attentive to the lecture, he secretly stuffed a piece of dim sum to cushion his stomach.
"Speaking of which, Xuande is a member of the Han family?" About half an hour later, Liu Xie noticed Liu Bei on the side. It is also a loss to Lu Zhi, who seemed to have inadvertently clicked it just now.
"No, after King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty...... It's a pity that after more than 30 years, I have not been able to make a contribution! When Liu Bei said this, he suddenly burst into tears, quite sad.
"Xuande once served as a lieutenant under Liu Yan and expelled the Youzhou Yellow Turban. After that, he came to Jizhou, and cooperated with the ministers to finally break the main force of the Yellow Turban. After that, he was awarded the Anxi County Order! Lu Zhi also talked a little about his exploits.
"And now, why?" Liu Xie is a little younger, so he can't hear that Lu Zhi is recommending Liu Bei. It's just that Liu Bei, as the county commander of Anxi, is now the envoy of Gongsun Zhan, and I am curious.
"I was conscientious and conscientious in my office, but I came to supervise the post and asked for a certain defection to the eunuch party. Bei, as an official of the Han Dynasty and a clan member of the Han family, how could he bow his head to the eunuch party, so he hung up the seal and left...... Liu Bei said awe-inspiringly.
In recent years, countless people have gone with their seals, most of them are disappointed in reality, or they feel confused about the future. Of course, it's more like being angry with the court, anyway, I'll be able to come back after a while, and I'm talented and don't worry about unemployment at all.
Such as Cai Yong, Yuan Peng, etc., who have been dismissed again and again, but they were immediately reactivated, there are not a few. In the final analysis, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, where talent was scarce, those in power had no choice at all.
This hanging seal is gone, and over time, it is like the cheating staff of the Ming Dynasty, which is used to brush up on fame.
However, when it comes to eunuchs, especially Liu Bei's righteous and awe-inspiring behavior, it is indeed a little kid who has deceived Liu Xie. He didn't understand so many political issues, otherwise he wouldn't have been fooled into being a constitutional emperor in name only.
For Liu Bei, he has a great impression of him at this moment. Not to mention that everyone is a classmate, but the Han clan is a family, and Liu Bei's character is also very admired by him.
"Now Xuande doesn't have an official body?" Liu Xie naturally asked.
"Now Bei is still white...... Liu Bei directly concealed the fact that he was under Gongsun Zhan.
"That's good, there is just a vacancy under the command of Zhijinwu, Xuande is talented, why don't you be a deputy under this Zhijinwu, and if you have a chance in the future, I will arrange it separately!" Liu Xie thought for a while and said.
The so-called deputy position is also selling face to Lu Zhi, and the key is to hold the position of Jinwu, which is almost dispensable now. But no matter what, he is a Beijing official, and he doesn't have to be a local county magistrate to say it, even if it's a deputy position!
In fact, the little kid is now more or less beginning to understand some problems, in the end, he feels that there are too few cronies around him who can be used, and he wants to cultivate some of them. But compared to outsiders, it is obvious that his own people are better, whether Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, he has to go back to check, even if there is not always a way, as long as he really has this talent.
Support him, and even be able to install him in the Congress, so that he, the emperor, can have more or less a say. If it doesn't work, it will be purely to sell face to Lu Zhi, and Liu Bei will retire in the deputy position!
For Liu Bei, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to go from Youzhou to the capital as an official, and he is naturally grateful.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Bei simply handed over Gongsun Zhan's opinion to the imperial court, and then completely bid farewell to Gongsun Zhan and began to serve in the Zhijin Wu.
Then this spring breeze, Liu Bei finally stepped onto the stage of history, and he was no longer a soy sauce party. (To be continued.) )
