After Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Rang was stunned, and then there was a sneer on his face.

"What you said can be regarded as a heart-wrenching word, our Han country selects talents and appoints, and it still depends on the background, and the world also cares more about the origin, and does not care about other things.

According to what you mean, do you mean that the Great Han Kingdom has a sign of national destruction? Liu Xuande, you are a member of the Han family, and if you say such a thing to the foundation of the Han family, you are not afraid, I am afraid. ”

"I'm not the only one who thinks like this, everyone thinks this way in their hearts, and only I dare to say it."

Liu Bei shook his head: "Because of this, as a member of the Han family, I will work so hard and do my best to prevent the ancestral foundation from being trampled by a group of insects, otherwise, Lao Zhang, do you dare to say that the Han Dynasty has no worries about overturning?" ”

Zhang Rang lowered his head and didn't say anything, but he always felt as if he was being scolded by Liu Bei.

Is it a delusion?

After Liu Bei left the palace, he did not go to Lu Zhi immediately, but went to Zheng Xuan's mansion to meet Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan's protégé knew Liu Bei, and when he saw Liu Bei coming, he was startled.

"Prince? How did you get here? Aren't you in Liangzhou? ”

"I'm back to report on my work, is Zheng Gong here?"

"Yes, I'm ...... I'm going to pass it on! ”

"No, I'll go myself."

Liu Bei entered Zheng Xuan's mansion as he spoke, and the door did not dare to slack off, so he rushed in at an accelerated pace to inform Liu Bei of his arrival.

Zheng Xuan was asking his family to pack up their belongings and prepare to leave Luoyang, when he heard that Liu Bei was coming, he was surprised.

I heard Lu Zhi say that Liu Bei was going to come back to report on his work, and he planned to stay and wait to see, and see Liu Bei again, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to come back so quickly, and his process of resignation and resignation has not yet been completed.

So after seeing Liu Bei, Zheng Xuan smiled and quipped.

"I also planned to wait for Xuande a little and see you again, but I didn't expect Xuande to come back so soon without me waiting."

"Gong Zheng, do you really want to leave?"

Liu Bei didn't joke with him and got straight to the point.

Zheng Xuan also restrained his smile.

"Well, really going to go."

"You don't care about the ancient literature school?"

"I didn't need to worry about it, they just needed me to sit here and sit, and the difference between me and me wasn't as big as I thought."

Zheng Xuan smiled faintly: "So, Xuande, you better let me go back to retire and continue to sit here, I think, I shouldn't have a few years to live, go back to my hometown to live in seclusion, I can live a few more years." ”

"Zheng Gong ......"

Liu Bei sighed and said with a wry smile: "If you want to leave, no one will stop you, I just ...... Just hope you can have a better life. ”

"When people are old, they miss their hometown, and it is the best thing to be able to return to their hometown."

Zheng Xuan smiled and patted Liu Bei's arm: "Xuande, you are a person who can do great things, but I hope that in the future, when I hear about the great things you have done in my hometown, I will feel sincere joy, not hatred." ”

Liu Bei was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Bei will try to do things that don't make Zheng Gong feel hated."

"Very good."

Zheng Xuan smiled: "Go find Zi to do it, your teacher should have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Yui."

Liu Bei said goodbye to Zheng Xuan, ending the last meeting between the two in Luoyang City.

Liu Bei didn't know when the next time he would meet Zheng Xuan, and Zheng Xuan didn't know when the next time he would meet Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei came to Lu Zhi's mansion, it was already afternoon, and it was almost dusk, Lu Zhi was standing at the gate of the mansion waiting for Liu Bei.

"Xuande !!"

"Teacher!"

Liu Bei dismounted from afar, stepped forward on foot, and stood in front of Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi also stepped forward and held Liu Bei's arms tightly with both hands.

"Thin, dark, and bearded, it's completely different from the past, Xuande, you have suffered a lot in Liangzhou, right?"

"As a Liangzhou pastor, you should suffer whatever hardships you have."

Liu Bei smiled: "It's a teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I look a little older, haven't you had a good rest recently?" ”

"There's a lot to do, there's so much to do."

Lu Zhi smiled and said: "Come on, come on, I have prepared a banquet, you come back from Liangzhou, you are tired of traveling, you should have a good meal." ”

"That's a must!"

Liu Bei followed Lu Zhi into the house with a smile, and then it was a meal of nonsense.

It should be said or not, although the salt used in Lu Zhi's house is not as good as the salt in Liangzhou, the fineness of the food, the type of food and the cook's understanding of cooking skills are incomparable to those in Liangzhou.

In the end, Luoyang is the most economically prosperous area, the more prosperous the economy, the more pay attention to eating, Liangzhou's original ecological green and healthy diet compared to the fine diet in Luoyang City, not a star and a half.

Liu Bei's main food in Liangzhou is cakes and mutton, and occasionally he can eat some dog meat or horse meat, mainly meat, vegetables and fruits, but very little.

The land is mainly used to grow food, vegetables and fruits are rare in Liangzhou, more expensive than meat, ordinary people can't eat at all, vitamins and the like are difficult to supplement, so severe malnutrition will greatly affect people's life expectancy.

However, for people of Liu Bei's level, as long as he wants, even if he is hungry outside, in the year of the catastrophe, he can also eat a meal of Yellow River carp baked noodles in Liangzhou.

It's just that he wants to advocate frugality and take the lead in reducing the government's food expenditure, so he eats very little vegetables and fruits, mainly cakes and meat.

At first, it was okay, and the food was very refreshing, but then I gradually got tired of eating, and I missed the relatively fine and varied diet of Luoyang more and more.

After the meal, when they took a walk together to eat, the master and apprentice began to talk about business.

"You know everything about Zheng Gong leaving, right?"

"Well, before coming here, I rushed to see Zheng Gong, Zheng Gong was very calm, he didn't have too many worries, and he left after saying go."

"Gong Zheng, how free and easy."

Lu Zhi sighed: "On the contrary, it seems that we care too much about fame and fortune, so that we don't even want the dignity of scholars. ”

"Zheng Gongzhi is not here, asking Zheng Gong to stay is nothing more than increasing Zheng Gong's suffering."

Liu Bei said slowly: "You are now ranked as the third duke, you can afford this responsibility no matter what, and it is even more expected, the departure of Zheng Gong will not have a big impact on the school." ”

Lu Zhi nodded silently.

"It started because of my generation, not because of Zheng Gong, Zheng Gong has been in Luoyang for several years, it's time......"

Saying this, Lu Zhi stopped, turned his head to look at Liu Bei, and smiled slightly.

"Since the teacher is already on the front line, his best disciple naturally has no reason to hide at the end, Xuande, promise to inherit the "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period" with you, and I will be with you."

Liu Bei stood in place and looked at Lu Zhi for a long time.

"The disciples will do their best to maximize the value of this inheritance."

Lu Zhi took a deep breath.

"Xuande, are you going to open an apprenticeship in Liangzhou?"

"Yes."

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Liangzhou and the Luoyang court have been separated for a long time, but Liangzhou is of great significance to the Han Dynasty, otherwise Emperor Xiaowu and Huo Hussar would not have done their best to compete with the Xiongnu for this place, Liangzhou cannot be lost, and the prejudice of the Luoyang court against Liangzhou is not a matter of one day or two."

The disciple thought hard for a long time, if Liangzhou really did not leave the Han Dynasty, only the disciple opened a museum in Liangzhou to teach apprentices, with the "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period" inheritance to give Liangzhou people the road to heaven, with the disciple to build a bridge between Liangzhou and the Luoyang court, this is the only and best way. ”
