Chapter 18 Get Hujiazhuang
"After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, due to the huge impact, the imperial court will of course send troops to suppress it, and people of insight from all over the country will also respond. Although we are not many in number, we can fully respond to the call of the imperial court and participate. Fighting to the death with millions of yellow turban thieves is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and of course we will not do this. But as long as you take a stand, and then seize the opportunity to make a contribution, the court will be rewarded. The most crucial issue now is to find a way to get to know the people who have the right to speak in the court by participating in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and ask him to give us credit after our military exploits, so that our merits will not be buried. If it is ideal, it is not impossible to take a county because of military exploits. Liu Yuandao.
At the beginning, Liu Bei's military exploits were not small, but he only got an official position as a plain county commander, just because no one spoke in the court. Liu Yuan didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, he imagined several ways to make friends with the real power figures in the DPRK, such as the simplest one, to rescue Dong Zhuo instead of Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei rescued Dong Zhuo, he was not treated by Dong Zhuo and was closed. But Liu Yuan thinks that Dong Zhuo, as a hero, still loves talents very much, which can be seen from his generous treatment of Lu Bu.
High-ranking officials, Houlu, and Red Rabbit Ma Dong Zhuo sent it without blinking an eye, and even Diao Chan, Dong Zhuo wanted to give up in pain. If it weren't for her outstanding ability to sow discord, Dong Zhuo would have followed Li Ru's advice and gave her to Lu Bu. Therefore, Liu Yuan believes that as long as he shows the talent recognized by Dong Zhuo, he will be reused by Dong Zhuo.
As a modern person, Liu Yuan would not think that Dong Zhuo was heinous. Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and even Yuan Shao are all heroes who took advantage of the chaos, and there is no essential difference. Moral character is not necessarily higher or lower.
It's just that Dong Zhuo took the lead and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which was unstoppable for a while. But behind the brilliance, there are also many crises. He has become a thorn in everyone's side, and everyone is eager to replace him.
As a result, many people united to conspire against him with various conspiracies and schemes. Dong Zhuo was walking on thin ice for a while, and if he didn't handle a matter well, he would never recover. So even if there is no beauty plan, there will be other open and secret battles, and it is difficult to say whether Dong Zhuo can survive smoothly.
In the final analysis, it is because Dong Zhuo's strength is not enough to control the situation in the country. In fact, at that time, all the people did not have the strength to control the whole country, and whoever stood up would be attacked by everyone.
Liu Yuan's goal is to be the emperor, and for him, no matter who he is temporarily attached to, it is the same.
It is said that Lu Bu is a slave with three surnames, so what about Liu Bei? Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, which one has not been attached to him? Lu Bu, Sun Quan, or Liu Zhang, which one he hasn't befriended?
But how did Liu Bei do it? abandoned Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, bullied Sun Quan, and suppressed Liu Zhang, and wanted to occupy Liu Biao's Jingzhou without success, and was expelled by the Cai family.
Ignoring the kindness of Lu Bu to shoot the halberd, he slandered Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu; His subordinates killed Yuan Shao's best generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but they fled; borrowed Jingzhou, which was from his daughter-in-law's family, and used strong words, shirked and delayed and did not pay it back; took the initiative to assist Liu Zhang in defending, but the dove occupied the magpie's nest and swallowed the entire Xichuan. Such a character, it's not too much to give him a "treacherous" evaluation, right?
Liu Yuan is not a hero, he will not do treacherous things. However, he is temporarily attached to others, and he has no psychological burden.
After listening to Liu Yuan's explanation, the experienced old man Hu was also a little undecided. "Cheng'er, what do you think?" He had to ask for Hu Cheng's opinion.
"I still have a lot of trust in Guoqiang. If the Yellow Turban Rebellion did break out as scheduled, it would be an extraordinary sign of his ability to predict. Extraordinary people do extraordinary things, I believe that Guoqiang can lead Hujiazhuang to glory. Didn't my father say a long time ago that he hoped that Hujiazhuang would be one step closer in our generation. Now that Guoqiang has joined us, I believe that my father's wish will soon come true. "Hu Chengdao.
"I also believe in Guoqiang's ability, but it is undeniable that his method is still very risky. And you are my eldest son, and the inheritance of the family was originally intended to be handed over to you, are you really willing to give it up? Old Man Hu continued to ask.
"Father, why don't you take some risks if you want to do something big? As martial artists, why are we so cowardly? And Sanniang is also our Hujiazhuang people, she has had a manly style since she was a child, and her martial arts are far better than mine, so it is also appropriate to hand over Hujiazhuang to her. Although Guoqiang has known us for a short time, his morality and conduct are absolutely trustworthy. With the couple in charge, I am absolutely relieved that Hujiazhuang is in charge. The father can rest assured that the child's mind is not so narrow-minded, and his vision is not so short-sighted. To put it mildly, the owner of Hujiazhuang doesn't pay attention to it, and I want to see the outside world. But children also know that their abilities are mediocre, so I hope that Guoqiang will take us to the outside world. Hu Cheng's words are very sincere.
"Good! I didn't expect my son to have such a heart! Guoqiang, from today onwards, Hujiazhuang will be handed over to you. Old man Hu said.
Finally won Hujiazhuang, Liu Yuan was excited in his heart, and his face was peaceful. "Thank you Hu Lao and Hu Cheng for your trust, I will definitely live up to my mission. However, in my vision, the scale of Hujiazhuang will get bigger and bigger. The big and small affairs in Hujiazhuang should still be in charge of Hu Lao and Brother Hu. I will do my best to improve Hujiazhuang's strength and competitiveness. ”
"Besides, I have one more thing to report. In fact, I am the same generation as today's saint after Liu Dang, the king of Le Chengjing. Seeing the current situation of the Han Dynasty, I am worried. We must make every effort to support the Han family to comfort the souls of our ancestors in the sky. Liu Yuan finally threw out the identity of the imperial prince for the first time.
Although the background of the imperial family could not bring him any material help, if it could really be recognized by the Han Dynasty, the reputation it invisibly brought to Liu Yuan was immeasurable.
Liu Bei in history called himself the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty after King Jing of Zhongshan. However, there is no Western Han Dynasty in the game world, so Liu Bei cannot be after King Jing of Zhongshan. As for which prince's descendant he will become, Liu Yuan doesn't know.
He checked the information through the system before and established his identity: after Liu Dang, the king of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order of genealogy, it happens to be the same generation as the reigning Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and is the uncle of the future Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
No matter which prince you Liu Bei is, you don't dare to claim to be the uncle of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, you can only be the uncle of Emperor Han Xian at most. In this way, I don't suffer in terms of seniority. Liu Yuan thought.
"You're from the royal family?" Old Man Hu looked at Liu Yuandao thoughtfully. Hu Cheng's eyes widened as well.
"How dare you talk nonsense about such a big thing." Liu Yuandao, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat. The skin is indeed thick to a certain level.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and bowed to Liu Yuan: "The people of the mountains and wilderness, they don't know etiquette, they don't know that the emperor is coming, forgive their sins." After speaking, he didn't raise his head, but stretched out his hand to grab Hu Cheng and motioned for him to salute. Hu Cheng didn't understand what was going on, so he knelt down and saluted in a daze.
If someone else saluted like this, Liu Yuan would have accepted it, after all, he was to be accepted as his subordinate. However, Old Man Hu is his future father-in-law, and this gift is not acceptable under any circumstances.
Liu Yuan hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Elder Hu, you are my future father-in-law, how dare I accept such a big gift from you." Brother Hu, get up, what are you doing here? I, the royal family, is far away, and the saint doesn't necessarily know about it, but according to the family tree, I do. Liu Yuan said as he went up to help the two.
The two stood up, and the old man still said: "No matter what, the imperial family is the imperial family, and it is appropriate to salute." ”
Everyone knows that feudal society is very polite. For example, when a daughter becomes a princess, her father must salute when she sees her. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with Old Man Hu and Hu Cheng saluting Liu Yuan. But the premise is that Liu Yuan is indeed the royal family.
Liu Yuan was very grateful to his father-in-law at this time. Salute yourself directly! What a big mind it takes! Looking at the old man's expression and actions, he knew that he didn't believe his words very much, but he guessed his thoughts and simply sat down to confirm his words.
It's so self-conscious. At this time, Liu Yuan felt the warmth of family affection for the first time in this world.
Of course, Liu Yuan never used the identity of the imperial prince as a bargaining chip. When he proposed, he never mentioned this matter. It was not until this time that the two sides trusted each other that Liu Yuan spoke out for the first time. His purpose is actually to tell everyone that he is the royal family, so that everyone can unify their words in the future.
Regarding Liu Yuan's pretending to be the royal family, both sides tacitly agreed and did not say anything.
