Because he was in a good mood, when he took Liu Bei to visit Yang Biao and discuss some things with him one day, Lu Zhi made fun of Liu Bei about this matter.

"You've known each other for a few years, but you've never told your teacher that you're good at five-character poems and seven-character poems, and you can write such magnificent verses, Xuande, you surprise the good students for the teacher, do you know how many people have begged to accept apprentices for the teacher recently?"

Lu Zhi saw that Liu Bei liked it more and more, and felt that the surprise and face brought to him by this disciple were getting bigger and bigger.

Now many people praise Liu Bei when they see Lu Zhi, and even praise Lu Zhi for his good teaching, and by the way, ask Lu Zhi if he has any ideas for further apprenticeship.

Lu Zhi just laughed at this, waved his hand again and again, and said that he would devote himself to handling government affairs, serving the country, and no longer accepting apprentices.

Liu Bei is a closed disciple, and there is no next one.

There is no one in the family who has children who have not yet learned from the teacher.

Liu Bei also heard about this and thought it was funny.

"Teachers teach, students learn, but also self-reflection, self-improvement, as much as possible to learn as much as possible, teachers, students are with the idea of being better than the blue to follow the teacher to learn."

Lu Zhi turned his head to look at Liu Bei, then looked up to the sky and laughed, patted Liu Bei's shoulder again and again, and nodded to praise Liu Bei's ambition.

When he arrived at the door of Yang Biao's house, Lu Zhi personally called the door and opened the door, but the doorman who guarded the door said that Yang Biao was not at home.

Lu Zhi felt strange.

"Obviously, I made an appointment with Wen Xian, why is he not here?"

"This ...... The villain doesn't know ...... either."

Lu Zhi suddenly felt very depressed.

This time, he felt that the weather was good, so he deliberately did not take the car, but still came over, and was thinking about begging for saliva to drink, but Yang Biao was not at home.

So he could only look at Liu Bei helplessly.

"If this Yang Wenxian doesn't have a valid reason, I'm afraid he will owe a good meal."

Liu Bei could only smile, and Lu Zhi embarked on the way home, and before leaving, he accidentally looked back and saw an apricot flower in Yang Biao's mansion sticking out of the courtyard wall, blooming gorgeously.

Liu Bei's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an interesting idea.

He whispered a few words to Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, he laughed out loud, and praised Liu Bei for his talent.

So within a few days, a song "Visiting Yang Wen Xian Didn't Meet] spread in Luoyang City.

The poem said, "I should pity the moss of the tooth prints, the people of Zhumen have not been returned for a long time, the spring garden cannot be closed, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall].

Liu Bei made some changes to this poem, and directly changed his name to visit Yang Wenxian.

The first two sentences don't matter, but the last two sentences are so interesting, not only turning the invisible spring into tangible things, but even a little playful, which is talked about.

There is no controversy that such a vivid and interesting and even playful poem must be the work of Liu Xuande.

The hearts of the people who were hurt by the boring and boring clumsy poems finally got the nourishment of Liu Xuande's masterpieces, and they suddenly felt wonderful, like drinking Du Kang, and praised them repeatedly, and soon spread this poem throughout Luoyang.

When Yang Biao heard this poem in the official office, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten an important matter, and immediately felt very guilty, and hurried to see Lu Zhi, apologized to him, and said that he would invite him to his home again as a guest to apologize.

Lu Zhi laughed and agreed.

Of course, this time I also had to bring Liu Bei, and the two of them attended together to go to Yang Biao's appointment.

This time, Yang Biao was not only at home, but also went out to wait in person.

Seeing Liu Bei, Yang Biao smiled and said: "Xuande's poem, so that the whole Luoyang people know that I have neglected Zigan, maybe even with future generations will know, Xuande, you are really talented." ”

Yang Biao said this with a smile, without the slightest sense of blame.

So Liu Bei smiled and said: "Yang Gong is going to go down in history, prepare an occasional footnote, add color a little, and future generations will look at Yang Gong again, and they must find it interesting." ”

"Hahaha!"

Yang Biao laughed, seeing that Liu Bei was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, he welcomed Lu Zhi and Liu Bei into the mansion, and there were many good wine, good food, singing and dancing maids, showing the demeanor of the third prince Hongnong Yang.

Liu Bei ate and drank, very pleasant, and ate all the things unconsciously, Yang Biao saw it, laughed, and asked Liu Bei to serve a piece of food, Liu Bei was unceremonious, and ate it all again.

"Xuande has a good appetite!"

Yang Biao thinks that the food in his house tastes excellent, and the guests agree with it and are overjoyed.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Biao asked people to remove the empty dinner plates, serve sweet drinks and fruits, and turn the singing and dancing of the meal into the elegant music of eating, and talked about the things in the court.

"Cao Jie is sick, I heard that the illness is quite serious, and he hasn't come to Shangshutai for several days."

Lu Zhi took a sip of the drink, shook his head and said: "The Son of Heaven actually took the eunuch as the Shang Shu Order, and we didn't expect it earlier, if it wasn't for the country, who would want to live under the eunuch?" ”

"Shangshutai is not a formal official office, the emperor can do what he wants, but his position is important and his power is very heavy, what can we do?"

Yang Biao sighed, shook his head and said: "I can only say that my generation is incompetent, I can't help the Son of Heaven, and I can only let the eunuchs do it, I can't help it, alas, it's ......."

Lu Zhi also felt very helpless for a while, and sighed again and again.

Liu Bei buried his head in eating fruit and did not interject in the conversation of the bigwigs.

This kind of thing is of course very unfavorable for scholars.

Not to mention the Eastern Han Dynasty after the implementation of the party, the scholars were in a very disadvantageous situation, and the situation of the eunuchs was becoming more and more serious.

Because of this political situation, the previous attempts of the eunuchs to provoke the dispute between modern and ancient literature were unsuccessful, and both the modern and ancient literary schools were able to carry it clearly in the face of the deterrence of the complete imperial power without sufficient interests.

Judging from the current situation, the eunuchs are powerful, and the emperor Liu Hong trusted the eunuchs, and opened the Hongdu Gate School, cultivated the literati power of the royalist eunuchs, and served as county guards, county commanders and other officials abroad, and competed for power and profit with scholars and officials.

At the beginning, Hongdu Gate School was just an institution set up by Liu Hong to satisfy his own literary and artistic style, but it was controlled by the eunuchs in the later development, and now it has become a way for the eunuchs to cultivate their own henchmen.

And under the promotion of the eunuchs, Emperor Liu Hong also made a [Hongdu Gate Selection] from time to time, and selected people who were satisfactory to the eunuchs from the Hongdu Gate to serve as officials, which affected the monopoly of administrative positions and administrative power by scholars to a considerable extent.

Now the power of the scholars has indeed been seriously compressed by the emperor, and the biggest and final advantage that the scholars can grasp is the cultural advantage and the public opinion advantage, which is also the most unsolvable dead end, and it is the part that Liu Hong cannot shake.

If you have the right to interpret Confucian scholarship, the scholars will be invincible, and the emperor can only suppress them, but cannot completely tame them.

Liu Hong has a reputation for mediocrity, but in Liu Bei's opinion, if these things are Liu Hong's own wishes, then he is definitely not mediocre, but the Eastern Han Dynasty has accumulated a lot of hardships, and the accumulated drawbacks are too serious, and he has no skills to return to heaven.

However, based on the analysis of the current situation, Liu Bei is more inclined to Liu Hong is really just a mascot and model raised by the eunuchs, and a series of methods to suppress scholars, including the second party disaster, are not his original intention.

At that time, he was only thirteen years old, and he had not yet received a complete education in imperial studies, and it was not long before he became an emperor, if he could see through the crisis of imperial power so quickly and choose to unite with eunuchs to fight against his relatives, it would be really a genius.

Ying Zheng was not so awesome when he was thirteen years old.

And some of the things he did later for pleasure also fully showed that he did not have any superb political skills at all, and it was more like being pushed forward.

Of course, Liu Hong did not have that ability, and the two scholars here who could represent the modern literary school and the ancient literary school to a certain extent obviously did not change their lives to bring a new consciousness to the Han Dynasty.

Loyalty, loyalty to what?

Is it Liu Hong, or the Han Dynasty, or his identity as a scholar, or a glorious and wealthy life.

Liu Bei didn't know.
