Hearing Liu Bei say this, Jian Yong snapped his fingers, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help smacking his tongue.

"Unless there is a rebellion, it will be difficult for Cao Mengde to die."

"That's right, so he was just transferred from the northern lieutenant of Luoyang to the commander of Dunqiu County, and continued to be an official, earning a wave of fame in vain, even if Jian Shuo hates him to the point that he can't do it, it's useless, two fists are hard to beat four hands, with his little yellow door wants the eldest son of the Cao family to die, it's impossible."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he fell behind, pondered for a while, and then spoke: "And I always suspect that this matter should be promoted by the Cao family behind the scenes, otherwise why should he, a person from a eunuch family, have trouble getting along with eunuchs?" Isn't this the pain of relatives and enemies? ”

Jian Yong also followed suit, thought about it, and felt that Liu Bei made sense to say this.

"Eunuchs have always been regarded as turbidity by scholars, not to mention scholars, we and other small people also hate eunuchs, Cao's eunuch family is from a family, there is no reason to attack eunuchs?"

"That's why I don't think that's right."

Liu Bei fell again, and said in a low voice: "When this incident happened, I once thought that Cao Mengde was the light of the Han Dynasty and would bring new hope to the Han Dynasty, but at that time, there were many rich children on the Wushi Mountain who were talking about it, and I listened to some of it and felt that the water was very deep. ”

When Jian Yong heard Liu Bei say this, he was immediately happy.

"How do you always say these funny words? The water is deep...... Haha, interesting, funny, hahahahaha. ”

Looking at Jian Yong's unbearable appearance, Liu Bei shook his head helplessly.

"Don't laugh, listen to me."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, you can say it."

Jian Yong was sitting precariously, and he fell behind to suppress Liu Bei's counteroffensive, waiting for Liu Bei's talk.

This thing is actually simple and simple, and if it is complicated, it is really complicated.

If it is really as some rumors say, then this matter is really only the Cao family can do, and other families really may not be able to learn it.

Liu Bei continued the offensive while falling into a piece, and slowly spoke.

"At that time, on the Wushi Mountain, I heard an acquaintance say that when Xiaohuan was in power, the eunuchs and the scholars were seriously opposed, attacking each other, and there were not many eunuchs who could maintain friendship with the scholars at that time, this Cao Teng is one person, it is said that he served many emperors and never framed anyone, so even if it is a eunuch, his reputation in the scholar group is not bad."

Jian Yong was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"It's not easy to be a eunuch to do this, how can an ordinary eunuch do this?"

Liu Bei nodded.

"Yes, so Cao Teng is not simple, the inheritance he left to the Cao family is very rich, enough for them to be used so far, I heard that Cao Mengde and Yuan Shao, the son of the Yuan family, have dealings, if it weren't for this relationship, I feel that Cao Cao would not be able to reach Yuan Shao's relationship anyway."

Jian Yong thought about it, kept nodding, and by the way, he skillfully defused Liu Bei's offensive, and then turned the offensive and threatened Liu Bei's lair.

"What you say is reasonable, the top scholar family of the Yuan clan in Runan, the third prince of the fourth world, calls himself the surname of the world, but the Cao family can travel with him after being a eunuch, how do you think it is unreasonable."

Liu Bei looked at the chessboard and hesitated for a while, and then struggled again.

"I think the Cao family must have a plan, and that time Cao Cao beat the stick, it was more like a sign that the third generation of the Cao family completely turned against the eunuchs, and they wanted to whitewash their origins."

Jian Yong was like listening to a wonderful show, with a look of surprise on his face, and he dropped a son to beat the water dog.

"So tortuous? Is this an effort by three generations to work together to help the family get out of the turbidity and into the clear stream? One door, three generations, working together, this ...... Is it really possible? ”

Liu Bei smiled and continued to struggle.

"Then I don't know, how can this kind of thing be known to outsiders? Maybe this is really just an accident, it's really just Cao Cao's momentary righteous indignation, young and enthusiastic, and he wants to do something that shakes the world, right? ”

Jian Yong blinked, and continued to attack with an expressionless face.

"Do you want to say that Cao Mengde really has a pure heart, rather than the family manipulating his actions behind his back?"

"Right? You don't believe it either, do you? Of course I don't believe it, but you can't say that there is no such possibility, in the end, I haven't seen Cao Mengde with my own eyes, his family is also a big family for me, I can't step on the threshold of his family. ”

Liu Bei fell and smiled indifferently: "Of course, this is not important to me, whether the Cao family wants to wash the white, or Cao Cao's personal behavior, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that they let me understand one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Even if it is a high-ranking official of the dynasty, if the background is not good, it also requires the full cooperation and careful planning of three generations to solve the problem of birth, the Han Dynasty has come to this day, it is no longer the era when Buyi Cheng was quite a dynasty, a person who has adventures may be able to be a high-ranking official, but he will definitely not get the attention of those high-ranking families.

The existence of the Han Dynasty has long been artificially divided into three, six, nine and so on, each class is determined by the family, origin and bloodline, innate, this is the key to determining whether a person can become a high-ranking official, the others are not important at all, the background is not good, even if you are talented, it is difficult to turn over.

Otherwise, Hongdu Gate School has cultivated so many Taishou, Thorn History, and Servants, but I don't see how many people really pursue Hongdu Gate Learning, and they all sharpen their heads to raise Maocai and filial piety, for what? Isn't it just for face and status? Those who learned from Hongdumen, no matter how high their official position was, were despised, but those who were born on the path of filial piety and honesty were not. ”

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Jian Yong was silent, and he didn't even fall into the chess pieces.

After a while, Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei.

"Xuande is right, this is the case in the world, if you are from an ordinary background, it is difficult to turn over, if you are born in a big family, even if you are a person who does not learn and has no skills, you can be a high-ranking official."

"Xianhe, have you accepted your fate?"

Jian Yong didn't look directly into Liu Bei's eyes, but just nodded silently.

"If you admit it, what if you don't admit it? I'm an incompetent son who was expelled from my family, how can I not accept my fate? It's also fortunate that I met you Liu Xuande before, otherwise I really don't know how to make a living, and if I don't get it, I will follow those homeless people all the way south, I don't know if I was killed by strongmen and tigers in that ravine, and there is no place to bury me, right? ”

"You admit it, I don't."

Liu Bei grinned: "Although I haven't been in Luoyang for a long time, I still learned something. ”

"What?"

Jian Yong pinched the sunspot in his hand and looked at Liu Bei in a daze.

"Power can change a lot of things."

Liu Bei pinched the white son in his hand and looked at Jian Yong: "Even if it is the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke, under the power, you have to survive, Xianhe, do you know that the Yuan family also has a branch of the palace as a eunuch." ”

"And this?"

Jian Yong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "This is a big scandal, where did you know about it?" ”

"A lot of people know it, it's kind of an open secret."

Liu Bei smiled: "Although the Yuan family deliberately avoided this matter, the reason why they were able to avoid the thunderous wrath of Emperor Xiaohuan back then was that they paid a lot of price, learned a lot of things, and their bodies became soft.

Under the party's control, there are not many scholars who can still be leisurely, why did the Yuan family become the strongest among them? It's nothing more than paying some unexpected price, and having said that, it's not something that anyone can pay.

Even if you are willing to pay, you may not be able to withstand the backlash, the Yuan family has a big business, and the protégés are all over the world, if you really stink the Yuan family, how many officials in the Han Dynasty will suffer? They were all in the same spirit, and of course they couldn't allow Yuan's reputation to stink. ”

Jian Yong was silent for a while, gradually came back to his senses, and landed another piece on the chessboard.

"I never thought that the family of the fourth and third princes would also suffer this humiliation."

"The more noble the status, the heavier the price to pay if you want to achieve your goals."

Liu Bei saw hope, dropped a piece on the chessboard, and turned the situation around: "And in order to maintain their noble status, they are often more willing to compromise than fight to the end, which is another truth I learned in Luoyang City." ”

Jian Yong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that the situation on the chessboard had changed a lot.

He hesitated for a long time before he slowly fell down.

"The Yuan family is the surname of the world, and you still need to pay such a heavy price, so Xuande, if you don't accept your fate, how much price do you plan to pay to go against the sky?"

Liu Bei seized the opportunity and attacked fiercely.

"Life."

Jian Yong was stunned.

The sunspot in his hand couldn't fall for a long time.

"Life?"

"I don't have anything else but one life."

Liu Bei smiled coldly: "Those people have a lot to do with their careers, and they don't dare to fight for their lives, but I, but I am a person who dares to fight for my life, my family has been poor since I was a child, and I can get today's family business, which is to fight for my life!" Xianhe, you are all in your eyes, and you have also fought with me. ”

Thinking of the past many years ago, Jian Yong sighed deeply and left a son.

"That being said, weren't we beaten on the head and bleeding at the beginning? If you want to fight for your life, it's easier said than done. ”

Liu Bei quickly fell behind.

"The Han Dynasty is a dynasty established by breaking down the family, Gaozu can even take off the hat of Confucianism and step on the ground and stomp on it a few times, who gave them the courage to dare to be high because they read a few books? I learned the knowledge and skills, not to benefit the world, but to fish and meat in the country!

They talk to themselves about monopolizing learning, their own learning is learning, and other people's learning is not learning, they are extremely domineering, and they are bastards. ”

When Jian Yong heard this, he looked at Liu Bei with a cold face, and was slightly surprised.

But he quickly calmed down, sighed, and fell again.

"Xuande, you told me back then that your ambition was to live a prosperous life one day, and now that you have achieved your ambition, do you have any other ambitions? Or are you going to go with the flow? Be an official, high up? ”

"If I had been going with the flow, I wouldn't have said that to you."

Liu Bei calmed down and said slowly: "Xianhe, look at it, the world is about to undergo drastic changes, when I was a teenager, I just wanted to live a rich life and be able to eat barbecue, but after so many years, I have more ambitions to achieve." ”

"What is it?"

"You'll know."

Liu Bei hooked the corners of his mouth, and the last son fell, killing the chess game.

"Even if my opponent is the sky above my head, I will win the sky and half a child!"
