For this wedding, Liu Bei is very satisfied.

If you insist on picking out a little dissatisfaction from the satisfaction, I am afraid that it is the fact that Lu Zhi did not come back to attend his wedding.

In fact, Lu Zhi originally planned to go back to Zhuo County to attend Liu Bei's wedding, and by the way, to relieve the pain of homesickness after being away from home for many years.

After all these years of fatigue in the southern and northern wars, he also wanted to take a good rest, spend a period of time in his hometown, and relax.

As a result, Emperor Liu Hong seemed to have something urgent to Lu Zhi to do, so he didn't give this leave to Lu Zhi, and he had to keep Lu Zhi by his side to help him, and Lu Zhi failed to go home.

Lu Zhi regretted this.

But there was no way, he could only entrust his family to send the wedding gift prepared for Liu Bei, and wish Liu Bei a happy marriage.

It's certain that the newlyweds are happy, but it's a pity that the teacher didn't come to support the scene.

But it's a pity to be able to marry a beautiful woman like Han Ning, and it also comes with a high-quality giveaway Han Xiaodie, Liu Bei is happy.

On the occasion of the newlywed Yan'er, he didn't care about anything, took Han Ning and Han Xiaodie to play around, barbecued, and went out to barbecue with the daughters of Gongsun Zhan's family.

In addition, since he is married, Liu Bei will not treat his younger brothers who have followed him for a long time.

He spent some time talking about family affairs to his younger brothers, and with his status in Zhuo County and Zhuo County and his future prospects, he successfully helped Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ji Jian and Jian Yong to talk about family affairs.

Cheng Dazhi has just joined the group, and he has already had a wife, and his children have reached the age of being able to join a dynamic social group, so there is no need for Liu Bei to worry.

Guan Yu and the other four were quite happy about this.

They also got married more than a month after Liu Bei got married, and then they also began to follow Liu Bei's old path.

They also began to get tired of being with their respective wives until they ran out of ammunition and food, and sometimes Liu Bei invited them over to eat and drink, but they couldn't shirk it, showing the essence of forgetfulness.

In this regard, Liu Bei is happy to see it.

It won't take long after the newlywed to be officially promoted to filial piety, and he will go to Luoyang to undergo the re-examination of the public government within the year.

If nothing goes wrong, by the end of the third year of Guanghe, Liu Bei will become a glorious official of the Han Dynasty and embark on a completely different life.

In this regard, Liu Bei's father-in-law, Han Rong, still has something to tell him.

One day before the start of the political work of promoting filial piety, Han Rong called Liu Bei and his wife to the county guard's mansion, and took Liu Bei to have a meal and drank a little wine under the pretext that their young couple had returned to the door, and then pulled Liu Bei to talk for a while in the backyard of the county guard's mansion after the meal.

"After raising filial piety for you this time, if you go to Luoyang, you will inevitably pass the re-examination of the government to become a Langguan Guanzheng, and then ...... Have you ever considered whether to enter the central court in Luoyang as an official, or go to the local government as an official? ”

Liu Bei followed behind Han Rong and thought for a while.

"If you can stay in Luoyang, you should put Luoyang first."

"Oh? Why? Luoyang, that is the princess everywhere, the slightest carelessness will block the path of others, thus becoming a thorn in the side of others, this day is definitely not easy, why not choose a place? It doesn't matter if it's a county or a county, you can get a little freedom. ”

Han Rong looked at Liu Bei with a smile, as if he was very interested in his answer.

Liu Bei smiled back.

"Having said that, Luoyang is in the world, outstanding people, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, what you can see and learn, is something that you can't see or learn in the place anyway, Bei is young and has little qualifications, and it is the time when you need to learn something from your predecessors in Luoyang officialdom."

Han Rong took a few more steps forward.

"Learning something? Xuande, sometimes, latecomers are the nightmare of the forerunners, aren't you afraid of becoming a thorn in the side of others? ”

"Yibei's background and family background are not enough to be a thorn in the side of the minister's high-ranking officials, but they are just small people."

"Xuande, why do you need to be lighthearted?"

Han Rong sighed, reached out and patted Liu Bei's shoulder, and said, "Although you don't have a high-profile background, you have a teacher who is a great Confucian in the sea, and what your teacher can bring to you is far beyond your imagination.

If I had such a teacher back then, why would I have wasted most of my life and was only a 2,000-stone border county guard? If you decide to stay in Luoyang, your teacher can recommend and operate for you.

At that time, you will either enter the Shangshutai, be a squire, order the history, accumulate qualifications and finally become a shangshu, or enter the Yushitai to become a servant of the imperial history, accumulate some years, and you can also become a high-ranking official of the Yushitai, if you have good merits during the period.

At that time, your teacher will operate for you, basically you will follow his steps, what position he achieves, he will definitely promote you to the later position, and in the end, if you are appreciated by the emperor, you may become a servant. ”

It's not a big deal to do an ordinary position in Luoyang, it's normal, but it's not easy to get out of the way.

But it's a different story in the middle of the waiting.

The servants of the two Han Dynasty were different from those of the Qin Dynasty, they could serve the emperor around, enter and leave the court, listen to the government, and gradually become a noble position of cronies, although the official rank is not high, but the power is very heavy.

As we all know, what official position is close to the emperor with real power, and what official position is the official position of cronies and nobles, regardless of whether this position has become a fixed position in the imperial court.

The emperors of all dynasties like to use the tricks of low position and power to create some positions and powers that do not exist, with low status but great power, so as to promote certain people as their own power tentacles to defend the imperial power and suppress the relative power.

The struggle between imperial power and relative power runs through the entire history of Chinese dynasties, and the two have lost and lost in the long river of history, and the general trend is still towards the trend of increasing imperial power and weakening relative power.

It's like Shangshutai was originally just the emperor's secretarial department, and it was still not a big deal at the beginning of its establishment, but today, it has become the decision-making department of the central court.

The central power of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty has essentially been transferred to Shangshutai, and the three dukes have become a model with no actual power, and the servant, which was originally just an errand job, has now become a position of pro-noble, which can only be assumed by the stars of tomorrow.

Later, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, Shizhong even had the power of the prime minister for a time.

In the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, being able to add officials to the central court is equivalent to a famous celebrity around the emperor.

That's why Han Rong was so obedient to Lu Zhi's suggestion and traded the important political resources in his hands with Liu Bei.

Not only because of the background of the ancient literature school, but also because he thinks that Lu Zhi has the potential to become a high-ranking official of the Three Princes and Nine Ministers in the future, and feels that Lu Zhi has a bright future, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a good relationship with him.

As an official of the local system, he can certainly become a thorn in the future, but it will be very difficult to go up to the central government to hold the authority of the world.

I think at the beginning, why didn't he stay in the central system because his relationship was not strong enough?

Therefore, he hopes to catch Lu Zhi's express train through Liu Bei's relationship, and seek to enter the central government for redevelopment and rejuvenate his career in the future.

At that time, with Lu Zhi as his arm, he stepped into the high position of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors, and truly became a member of the core ruling group of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei knew this very well, he knew Han Rong's true purpose.

But he felt that if Han Rong counted on Lu Zhi, he might not be able to succeed.

It's better to count on him Liu.

So Liu Bei behaved modestly.

"The distance between the servants is too far away, and if you can get a position after serving as a Lang official in Luoyang, Bei is already satisfied, and you don't dare to ask for too much."

But Han Rong didn't think so.

"You came from a broken clan and have been weaving mats and selling shoes with your mother since you were a child, if you don't dare to ask too much, how can you become my son-in-law? If you don't dare to ask too much, how can you follow Lu Gong to quell the rebellion, and save Lu Gong at all costs? ”
