In front of Yang Ciling, Liu Bei lit a few sticks of incense to Yang Ci and saluted.

Then Yang Biao and Yang Xiu's father and son returned the gift to Liu Bei in accordance with the rules.

"I didn't expect that a person as busy as General Liu would have time to come to Huayin to worship his father, and the Yang family felt very honored."

"Hehehe, it's not so busy, passing by, thinking of the old people, thinking of the past, and thinking of the separation of yin and yang now, I am embarrassed, so I came to worship."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Originally, Bei thought that Yang Gong's family would not welcome Bei, so I was ready to eat behind closed doors, but I didn't expect Yang Gong to be so elegant and elegant." ”

Yang Biao's face did not change.

"You are a hussar general, and after returning to Luoyang, you have to open a mansion, your status is respected, the entire Han Dynasty, and how many doors can be closed to you? Yang didn't dare. ”

"Most people don't do that, but there are people who do."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "For example, if the first Taiwei Wen Lie Gong learned that Bei came to visit, he would definitely close the door, after all, Bei once contradicted Wen Lie Gong, now think about it, at the beginning, he was young and vigorous, and his exit was indecent, which was a little inappropriate." ”

Yang Xiu pursed his lips.

Yang Biao took a deep breath.

"Are you here just to worship your father?"

"Mostly."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "In addition, isn't the situation in Luoyang City more tense? Preparing to go here, the responsibility is heavy, a little confused, I want to ask Yang Gong for some advice, I don't know if Yang Gong is willing to give advice? ”

"I can't talk about teaching."

Yang Biao took a deep breath and said slowly: "General Liu is now also the master of the dignified and upright Valve Reading Famous Family, you and I are equal in status, and the position is far above me, what can I teach?" General Liu is really good at laughing. ”

"Where, Yang Gong is an elder, and asking the elders for advice is still a very important thing for Bei."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "In the past, confined to the dispute between the present and ancient texts, I had the intention to get close to Yang Gong, but I couldn't do anything, this point, I think the teacher is also deeply touched, obviously they were very good friends before, but because of the school dispute, they have to watch their former friends become strangers, and even become enemies."

Every time I think about this, the teacher will feel heartache, so why not feel heartache? When Bei Chu arrived in Luoyang, Yang Gong also praised Bei, Bei has never forgotten Yang Gong's kindness, every time I think of it, I will feel that the world is impermanent......"

Yang Biao closed his eyes and had nothing to say about Liu Bei's appearance and shamelessness.

"If this is said to be the general's teacher, I will still believe that the general's teacher is sincere and reliable, I am willing to believe it, but the general himself said, I don't believe it very much, in my eyes, the general himself is not so sincere and reliable, don't blame the general, I don't speak well, but it's all the truth."

Liu Bei put away his smile.

"It seems that Yang Gong has a deep misunderstanding of Bei, and Bei has never been a despicable villain."

"Of course, the general is not a despicable villain, but I have no misunderstanding, it is all personal experience, my Yang clan and the modern literary school have fallen step by step to the present, how can there be misunderstandings?"

Yang Biao opened his eyes and looked at Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "The general is eloquent and strategic, and his wisdom is superb, no matter what the literary school does, it can't succeed, by the way, I also heard that after Huangfu Song's death, his family was copied, and the Huangfu family was overturned, and several generations of family business were wiped out, but is there such a thing?" ”

"That's the order of the Son of Heaven."

Liu Bei's face did not change: "I just follow the orders of the Son of Heaven." ”

Yang Biao smiled.

"But I also heard that the Son of Heaven ordered the execution of Huangfu Song after meeting with the general, but is there such a thing?"

"That is also the will of the Son of Heaven himself, just tell the truth, tell the Son of Heaven the mistakes made by the Emperor Fu, every sentence is true, there is no lie, where can you control the will of the Son of Heaven?"

Liu Bei's face still didn't change.

Facing the airtight Liu Bei, Yang Biao was very helpless.

"Huangfu Song is dead, why should the general rush to kill them all? Isn't it okay to keep people in one way? ”

"The Huangfu family interfered with the Son of Heaven to obtain salt profits, and he did his own sin, so he couldn't live."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "The salt profit is huge, Yang Gong should also know very well, if it weren't for the third prince of the Yang family, there are many protégés and old officials, Yang Gong thinks that Hongnong County will not have Liangzhou fine salt sold so far?" Yang Gong doesn't know what this means? In the current situation, does Yang Gong feel that you still have room to complain about the Huangfu clan? ”

Yang Biao's face moved slightly.

"No wonder General Liu has been able to come all the way to the present day with such a background and age, everyone says that General Liu is a famous man in the world, but General Liu is also sincere in treating the Son of Heaven!"

"We are all ministers of the Son of Heaven, loyal to the monarch and the country, is there anything wrong? Is it the right thing to do to deceive the king, seek fame, and secretly profit for yourself? ”

Liu Bei looked at Yang Biao with a strange expression: "Could it be that taking everything from the country is what you have for yourself, eating the people and fattening, is this the right behavior?" Yang Gong, making profits for the country or profiting for himself, which is the right choice? ”

Yang Biao almost couldn't control his emotions.

But in front of Daddy's spiritual position, he still controlled his emotions.

"General Liu said everything in a high-sounding manner, but he has risen step by step, and now he is even about to return to Luoyang to open the mansion to govern affairs, what he does and what he says seems to be slightly different, right?"

"Profit-seeking for the country and profit-seeking for oneself are not the same thing."

Liu Bei smiled and shook his head and said: "Making profits for the country does not mean that you can't make profits for yourself, do things for the country, pay hard work and efforts, and then receive rewards and benefits, is there anything wrong with this?"

Farmers can get income from farming, craftsmen can get income from work, soldiers can get income when they join the army and fight, why can't our generation get income while making profits for the country?

It's just that some people put their own interests above making profits for the country, and they don't even make profits for the country, they just make profits for themselves, and then beat those who make profits for the country and at the same time for their own interests into traitors, so that it can be convenient for them to continue to make profits for themselves, am I right, Yang Gong? ”

In the face of Liu Bei's aggressiveness, Yang Biao once again felt the power of the debaters in Luoyang City back then.

After so many years, Liu Bei's words are still so sharp and ruthless, as if he wants to dissect his opponent entirely, prove that his opponents are all black-hearted thieves, and prove that he is the only conscience.

Yang Biao struggled to control his emotions.

"After a long time, General Liu is still as sharp as he was back then!"

"I'm older, I'm a lot more restrained, back then, I was a pair of nines."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Think about the past, and then look at the present, I feel that I am really old, and people are no longer as sharp as they used to be, where can I say that I am sharp?" The future belongs to young people, yes, to young people like your son. ”

Yang Biao really wanted to laugh.

Really, he really wanted to laugh.

Listening to the twenty-eight-year-old Liu Bei saying to him, a forty-nine-year-old man, that he was old and something like that, if it weren't for the fact that this was his father's mourning hall, Yang Biao really wanted to laugh out loud, and then try to tear Liu Bei's mouth so that he couldn't say these angry words again.

It's a pity that this is Daddy's mourning hall, and then, he didn't have the ability to tear Liu Bei's mouth.

"General Liu is really modest, and his modesty makes me sigh as an old man, no wonder, my Yang family has been defeated!"

Yang Biao's face was calm, but the fire in his heart had already burned Liu Bei into charcoal.

Liu Bei smiled.

"Yang's defeat, in my opinion, is not traceless, no competition, no pressure, no pressure, no motivation, no motivation, how can you achieve the world's talents? Today's literary school is made by competition and pressure, and it is also destroyed by the absence of competition and pressure. ”

Yang Biao was not stupid, and he heard the meaning of Liu Bei's words.

"General Liu's words are not to be heard, who is desperately trying to earn a family business not for inheritance? Who is not desperately working to seal his wife and children, so that the family can carry forward? If you can't let future generations benefit from desperately trying to get ahead, who will do such a thing? ”

"So, the Yang family lost, the literary school lost, you will lose very inevitably, even if you don't have me to help the trouble, you will lose sooner or later, virtue is not worthy, that's it."

Liu Bei smiled: "There will always be people who are not satisfied, there will always be people who are not willing to suffer all their lives, and dare to say that they can replace him, is there only one Xiang Yu?" ”

Yang Biao was slightly stunned, and only reacted after a while.

"That's interesting, it doesn't just seem like you're talking about the modern literary school, right?"

"The same is true of the school of ancient literature."

Liu Bei nodded and said: "If there is no competition, no pressure, no motivation, the ancient literature school is the next modern literature school, exactly the same, there will be no change, it will eventually go to destruction, and then be replaced by a group of people with more combat effectiveness." ”

"How dare you say it."

Yang Biao pouted and said, "If these words are known by those people in the ancient literature school, I am afraid that they will be angry." ”
