Chapter 149: Under the Sky (2) (6k)

Outside the Buddhist temple, the rain falling from the sky smashes on the roof ridge, slides down along the eaves corner, the bead curtain rolls, and the heavy rain pours.

From time to time, thunder suddenly flashed from the sky, breaking the layers of haze covered by dark clouds in the air.

In the dilapidated temple, the Buddha statue on the Sumeru seat, which has long been devoid of gold paint, bows its head, revealing its clay face.

When Chen He heard Liu Bei's words, he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Although He is dull, he also knows that the world is turbulent, and it is definitely not Li Shu's fault. It's just that things in the world, just as the Buddhists say, once you see the cause, you will have the effect."

"When I heard that Liu Junqi was around him, he should also know the suffering of the people in the border area. Jun counted into Luoyang, and the wealth of the families in the city that he saw was not less."

Liu Bei just nodded.

"Liu Jun has a great future, and it is understandable that he doesn't dare to say more. There is nothing to say about it."

Chen He stood up, "In a certain opinion, there are only two great evils for example. One is in the eunuchs, the eunuchs have repeatedly seized power and persecuted good ministers, and those who are clear retreat and those who are turbid advance, and there is no one available in the court. But it can be regarded as a big convenience for the family."

The second is to be strong in the family. Relying on power, fish and meat in the country, encroaching on land, greedy and vicious, there is no end to it."

"The two are persecuted, the upper and lower are invading, and ordinary Li Shu naturally has no way out."

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this, but he looked at this person carefully.

It is naturally common for scholars to regard eunuchs as the primary enemy, after all, there is a matter of party power in front of them.

But this person just mentioned the great harm in the world, and even mentioned the family Haoqiang, which is quite interesting.

Most of the people in the world come from wealthy families. Even if the rest of the people are not from wealthy families, they will have some collusion.

And this is also one of the reasons why the wealthy family is terrible.

Protégés are all over the world.

Otherwise, why would Yuan Benchu be able to suppress Cao Mengde in the future, and he couldn't raise his head

Cao Mengde was such a suspicious person, after defeating Yuan Shao, why did he destroy the letters he found to contact Yuan Shao

"Chen Jun said bluntly, today you and I are just meeting for the first time. Why are your words so sincere," Liu Bei said with a smile.

"It's not a matter of being outspoken, Liu Jun dares to fight to the death on the border, and he is naturally a rare figure." Chen Yoye said with a smile, "Liu Junhaojie is naturally different from others. The key point is that the strength of one person is weak, but the strength of many people is thick. It's always worth the gamble."

Liu Bei just smiled, but he didn't speak.

Now that he couldn't figure out this person's heels, he naturally wouldn't open his mouth at will.

Who knows if this person is tempting?

Chen He saw that he didn't speak, but he didn't force it, just looked at the fire in front of him, "It seems that Liu Jun doesn't want to say more, so forget it."

This person's words did not stop there, he glanced back at the clay Buddha body, "Liu Jun is a senior disciple of Master Lu, a protégé of Confucianism, and he wants to read a lot. It's just that I don't know what Liu Jun thinks of this Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism?"

Liu Bei also glanced back with his gaze, and saw that the clay Buddha statue had many cracks, and there was a huge vertical pattern on the Buddha's head that cracked from the center.

The original Buddha statue with a compassionate appearance now looks hideous at a glance. ….

It won't be long before the sun and the wind blow blow, and this Buddha statue will completely collapse.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Bei naturally doesn't believe in Buddhism, if the Buddha fruit has a spirit, then he is so down, why don't you save yourself first?"

Chen He laughed, "What Liu Jun said is reasonable, but it is secretly in line with what I want in my heart."

He pointed to the Buddha statue behind him, and his eyebrows soared, "The Buddha can't save the world, so why not the Tao? The Confucian books that Liu Jun read are not like this, not that the truth is wrong, but that everyone can talk about the truth, but it is just a matter of being false."

Liu Bei, who retracted his hands into his sleeves, was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at the person opposite, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't say what was strange.

"Have you ever seen a farmer walking barefoot in the fields in the summer? The sun is scorching, and the heat is steaming

, sweating, as if to work endlessly. Is there a woman who takes her children and carries food to eat? If a family works hard, what is the income of a year? Even if it is difficult to pay taxes, what is the mouth of the lake?"

"Liu Junke has ever seen the persecution of county officials, and several families still can't pay the money and food, so that the family of selling children and daughters is ruined?"

"The son of a rich family, dressed in fine clothes and fine food, galloping on the road, it is not enough to play every day, and he regards ordinary Li Shu as a plaything."

"In the family of the powerful, no one cares about killing people, at most it is just a big thing turned into a small thing, a small matter, a name change, and a surname change, and when he ends his sentence, he is a "good man" again, and the law is useless. But once the poor Li Shu is unbearable and humiliated, it is a great crime to rob the family and destroy the clan."

"If the Law Is Just, How Can It Be Used in Two Places?"

Speaking of the place of rise, he stood up, raised one hand high, pointed to the clay statue behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Buddha and Taoist ancestors, Confucian saints, which one is not sitting high in the clouds! In the sky! But when have you raised your eyes to see the believers in this world? These so-called sages are still unreliable, do they have to rely on those big families who oppress the good all day long, and are eager to knock Li Shu out of the bone and marrow, and the famous ministers can't succeed?"

He tapped his hand lightly on his chest and said in a deep voice, "Since no one cares about it when you are sunk in the dirt, it is better to ask for others than for yourself."

At this time, there was thunder and lightning outside the temple from the sky, and it was as bright as day for a while, and then there was a muffled thunder rolling like the roar of the earth.

It seems to be reprimanding the people in the temple for their rebellion.

Chen He was awe-inspiring, excited, and full of spirit.

The big black man beside him looked at this person with admiration at this time, and Guan Yu beside Liu Bei also showed some indignation on his face.

The more humble the person, the more he feels the words of this person.

Don't say it's Guan Yu, even Liu Bei, who was used to hearing a lot of brainwashing remarks in his previous life, was intimidated by this person's words for a while.

He had to admit one thing, just about fanning people's hearts, but he was afraid that this person might not be under him.

Liu Bei shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Chen Jun's words are reasonable, and what people want, naturally they should not rely on others."

Chen He's eyes lit up when he heard his words, and he thought he had found a like-minded person.

"It's just that there are a lot of biases in Chen Jun's words, whether it is among the big families or eunuchs, there may not be no good people, so it cannot be generalized. What Chen Jun said was too extreme." Liu Bei said with a smile. ….

Chen He didn't say much after listening to Liu Bei's words, but just smiled, "I originally thought that Liu Jun would be the same as what I saw, but now it seems that I am self-inflicted."

After that, several people stopped talking, listening to the rain outside the temple rising and falling, and listening to the firewood burning in the temple in the flames, making a crackling sound.

Liu Bei leaned on the Sumeru seat under the Buddha statue and fell asleep.

The flames in the temple rose and fell with the cold wind blowing from outside the temple, sometimes bright, sometimes dim.

In his sleep, he seemed to have entered a long, deep dream.

In the dream, I heard the roars and shouts of countless people.

He seemed to be standing in the air, looking down, groups of men wearing yellow scarves converged into torrents, from south to north, angry roars, unwilling roars, swept the world.

Countless Yellow Turban troops rushed under his feet, the sky was high and far away, as small as ants.

And the man who stood at the top, dressed in a yellow robe and holding a nine-section scepter, was also looking up at him.

The face is not clear, but the demeanor is familiar.

The man's lips quirmed, as if he were smiling with him and saying something.

"Liu Jun, it's better to ask for others than for yourself."

At this time, above the head, the sky is yellow, and it is uncertain.

Liu Bei sat up suddenly, his body was covered with cold sweat.

Last night he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong, and then he suddenly remembered something.

Although the Yellow Turban incident was flourishing during the Guanghe period, it is said that Zhang Jiao had been arrested and imprisoned before. It's just that because he didn't have a climate at that time, Emperor Ling didn't pay attention to it, and in the end, he just let this person go hastily

It's over.

He looked left and right in the temple, but at this time, the two were already missing from the temple.

He walked out of the temple and saw Guan Yu standing in the open space in front of the temple, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, looking quite fascinated.

"Yun Chang, have you ever seen Chen Jun and the others?" Liu Bei restrained his thoughts and said calmly.

"The two of them left early in the morning, and he said that two younger brothers were waiting, and there was no delay. Chen Jun asked me to give this book to my brother, and left a very strange sentence." Guan Yu handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei put the bamboo slip into his hand, and saw that there were only three words at the beginning of it.

Taiping Sutra.

He grudgingly clenched the bamboo slip in his hand and said with a smile, "What words did Chen Jun leave behind?"

"Chen Jun said that the sky is yellow, what will happen in the future, please wait and see." Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei's face was a little wrong, although he didn't know why, he still said truthfully.

Liu Bei nodded and took the bamboo slip in his hand into his arms.

He turned his eyes to look north, hesitated for a moment, and finally settled down and said with a smile, "Yun Chang, it seems that you and I still want to send one to Chen Jun."

As for how to catch up? It would be best if it could nip things in the bud.

It's just that even if he has a peerless shadow in his hand, even if he and Guan Yu chase for several days, he still hasn't caught up with Chen You, that is, Zhang Jiao, who is acting under a pseudonym.

Seeing that it was mostly fruitless to search for any more, Liu Bei was no longer reluctant, and took Guan Yu to turn around and return west, heading towards the Wushi Mountain.

It's just that before the boundary of the division, it looks like he is about to enter the place of the division. ….

Liu Bei turned around and looked back, and then fell on the horse's back and laughed.

He suddenly figured something out, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

What if he killed Zhang Jiao? After Zhang Jiao died, there will be countless "Zhang Jiao" in the future.

The blue sky is fixed, and there are countless "yellow skies".

The source of all things is still in that one word.

The world is turbulent, who is the culprit?

…………

On the Wushi Mountain, hearing the news of his return, many people on the mountain flocked to the small courtyard where Liu Bei lived.

The people who came were all students from the mountain, and Liu Beizi didn't want to deliberately drive them away, but he smiled and asked them to visit one by one in the future.

Some people were still a little reluctant, but under Guan Yu's gaze on the side, they didn't dare to say anything.

Now that he has returned from Saibei, Liu Bei didn't feel anything, but these people did notice that Guan Yu's murderous aura was heavier.

It wasn't until these people were sent away that Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in the courtyard with peace of mind.

Everyone was there at this time.

In fact, it has only been separated for a few months, but if you think about it carefully, it is like a world away.

"This trip to the north has been hard work, but now it can be regarded as bitter and sweet. Your Liu Xuande's name is not only in Youzhou now, but even in Luoyang." Jian Yong said with a smile, "In Luoyang City, who listens to your name Liu Xuande now, not to mention that he is a heroic man who fights bravely and humblely."

Liu Bei smiled and shook his head, "It's not hard work, but it's a little regrettable, it's that I haven't returned to my hometown with more border boys."

"You have done a good job, but you need not be blamed for being so demanding." Jian Yong said with a smile.

Liu Cheng sat aside, wanting to speak and stopping.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Ah Quan, when I returned to my hometown this time, my uncle praised you, saying that you are not bad at school now, and asked me to tell you to guard against arrogance and rashness and work hard."

The expression on Liu's entire face eased a little.

At this time, he handed over the letter he brought from Youzhou to Liu Quan, and then asked casually, "The days I went north this time are actually not long, can there be a big event in Luoyang City?"

Originally, he just asked casually, not wanting Jian Yong to ponder for a moment, but he smiled bitterly, "Although the days you have been gone for a short time are not long, there are indeed a few major events in Luoyang City."

"One is that now Your Majesty has set up a new Hong

In the past, the scholars who were placed in the Hongdu Gate School were all granted official positions, although there was a difference in size, but it caused a big storm in the court."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Your Majesty has done this, and those ministers of the DPRK and China will naturally not agree."

Nowadays, most of the official positions in the court and the central government are divided between the ministers of the family and the eunuchs, and the official positions in the hands of the eunuchs are mostly occupied by the wealthy families who make money, except for their own relatives, and the number is actually not much. In addition, the name is not justified, and it is unusual, and it cannot be the norm.

But if this so-called Hongdu Sect becomes a regular practice, it is equivalent to digging out a piece of meat from the hands of the ministers of the family in the court.

It was not easy for them to snatch these from the previous emperors, and they had the momentum of several dynasties to plan for now.

How can you be willing to return it so easily now....

"Naturally, I can't say yes." Jian Yong also said with a smile, "Therefore, now that the wind is surging above the court, officials at all levels are cautious, and if one of them is not sure, they will sink in this storm."

"Others don't care, I'm a little worried about Master Lu." Liu Bei said suddenly.

Lu Zhi is rigid, if he is involved, he is afraid that it will be difficult to be lucky.

"Master Lu hasn't spoken yet." Jian Yong naturally understood what he meant, "It's just that with Master Lu's temperament, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will have to speak."

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

In the wine house in the east of Luoyang City, everyone has been waiting for a long time. ….

Liu Bei looked at the past at a glance, but they were all acquaintances from the past.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan.

In addition, the other person who was extra also made Liu Bei look twice.

It's an acquaintance, too.

This person is the brother of He Guiren, who is getting closer and closer to Yuan Shao today, He Jin and He Suigao, who Jian Yong mentioned yesterday.

"It's too late, but it's made you wait for a long time." Liu Bei said with a smile.

Yuan Shao saw that Liu Bei had arrived, and he also smiled and said, "After waiting for Xuande for a long time, Xuande can quickly sit down, and he will definitely punish himself for a few cups later."

Liu Bei and Yuan Shu sat down.

On the left is Cao Cao, and on the right is Gongsun Zhan.

They are all acquaintances, so naturally they don't need those polite words.

Halfway through the wine, Liu Bei got up and toasted with everyone one by one.

Yuan Shao was the first to come with a cup, and said with a smile: "Xuande has made great achievements in Saibei this time, and his reputation is shocked in Luoyang. In the future, it will definitely be reused by the imperial court, and Shao is here, first for Xuan Dehe."

After drinking all the wine in the cup, Liu Bei said with a smile: "The original intention of the preparation is for the Han family, not for fame. It's not what you want to get for fame, but thank you for your words."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they knew it.

What kind of characters they are, both sides have plans in their hearts.

"Xuande is now making great contributions, which really makes Cao extremely envious." Cao Cao held the wine and smiled, "I don't know when I will be like Xuande."

"Mengde praised it." Liu Bei smiled, "Meng De is just one chance away. With Mengde's ability, sooner or later there will be a day when his wish will be fulfilled."

Cao Cao smiled, but he was speechless, and after drinking, he stepped aside.

Liu Bei frowned slightly, although Cao Cao pretended to be free and easy, there was still some tiredness and sadness that could not be concealed between his eyebrows.

In this Luoyang City, who else can make him Cao Mengde unable to deal with it

It's just that the next toaster made him dispel the doubts in his heart.

The person who came was He Jin.

He Jin drank all the wine in his hand and said with a smile: "The farewell of that day seems to be just yesterday, but Xuande has already made a great contribution. How can you not make people feel envious."

"Sui Gao's words are exaggerated, and in the future, Sui Gao will definitely be able to raise his wings and fly high, and he will get what he wants." Liu Bei smiled, a little pun.

He had already discovered that He Jin was a little different from the past.

When I talked to him, I felt a little more unfamiliar and guarded.

No wonder Jia Xu deliberately reminded him to beware of this matter.

He Jin just exchanged a few polite words with him and then retreated to his seat.

Yuan Shu was as arrogant as ever, and boasted about his own military strategy with Liu Bei.

If he had been on the battle formation in Saibei that day, none of those Xianbei people would have been able to return to the Khan Court alive.

Liu Bei casually echoed two sentences and perfunctory him.

Naturally, he would not take Yuan Shu's words to heart. If he Yuan Highway really had such a military talent, how could he let Cao Cao flee like a dog in the future, and finally fell to begging for a bowl of honey and couldn't get it

The last one to come forward to toast was Gongsun Zhan, the friendship between the two was extraordinary, Gongsun Chan stepped forward and did not say those polite words, but punched Liu Bei in the chest.

He took Liu Bei back a few steps before he smiled and said, "Why don't you call me with such a big thing as going to the battlefield, could it be that you Liu Xuande looks down on Gongsun Boju?" Or do you think that Gongsun Chan can only share wealth and prosperity, not weal and woe?"

Liu Bei smiled, "Naturally not. It's just a little humble, how do you need to work your grandson Boju. I'm enough for myself, otherwise I wouldn't be too much to look up to those humble people."

Gongsun Chan laughed and drank the wine in his glass, "Xuande will definitely inform me if there is something in the future. There is no one on the side, but there is still a lot of courage."

Liu Bei also punched Gongsun Zhan in the chest and said with a smile, "This is natural."

What is the progress of this banquet today?

Cao Cao is with him, so naturally he can't be happy.

Cao Cao and He Jin sat on Yuan Shao's left and right, and it was hard not to let him wonder if this was Yuan Shao's deliberate behavior.

Cao Cao's brother-in-law is Song Qi, the brother of Empress Song, and now Emperor Ling and Empress Song are not on good terms, and they are favored by He Guiren.

Even if Cao Cao and He Jin met like enemies, they were not much different.

He glanced at Yuan Shao again, but he still underestimated him Yuan Benchu.

I suddenly remembered that sentence again.

The world is turbulent, who is the sinner?

Fall to the first
