All the great names in the world are arrogant and domineering.

In the past, Chen Fan's door was humiliated by the pavilion chief, and Chen Fan took the pavilion chief and killed him, and his eyes were lawless, but with his name, he was not punished.

Chen Fan is like this, and so is Li Guang, a flying general in the past.

In the Han Dynasty, there were many biases towards famous people.

"Chen Gong is the first senior, and he is the next generation, so he shouldn't have opened his mouth to talk about it. It's just that based on this move alone, I think that Chen Gong's matter is quite inappropriate, the pavilion chief is guilty, and he has his own national code. I wonder what Zheng Gong thinks? ”

In the back house of the Zheng family's house, Zheng Xuan and Liu Bei sat opposite each other across a wooden eucalyptus, and Sun Qian sat on the side boiling hot soup.

Zheng Xuan was dressed in plain clothes, and he was reading when Liu Bei and the others entered, so at this time he was still holding a bamboo slip in his hand that he had never put down.

Looking closely, Zheng Xuan's hands were still covered with heavy calluses.

If you don't know his name and meet him on the road, most people will think that this is a farmer who ploughs between the ridges all day long.

In the stove beside him, the water vapor brewed, whimpered and rose into the air.

Zheng Xuan shook his head, "Although what Fang Cai Xuande said also has the reason why Gong Chen's name is important in the world, it is mostly because Gong Chen is from a family. Besides, Chen Gong's temperament has always been like this, and it is enough to see his temperament if he didn't sweep a house in the past. ”

"Zheng Gong's words are reasonable." Liu Bei said with a smile, "Chen Gong's subsequent clarification of the world's affairs is enough to be respected by future generations." ”

"It's just one thing, and after all, you can't cover up your mistakes with great goodness."

Zheng Xuan, who was about to bow his head and take a sip of hot soup, raised his head and glanced at Liu Bei.

Although he is not in the official career, he is a famous Confucian in the world, and he can naturally hear the deep meaning of Liu Bei's words.

When he went to Luoyang to debate the scriptures before, although he already felt that Lu Zhi's disciple was not simple, he never thought that this person could come to this point in a short period of time.

"What is Xuande doing here?" Zheng Xuan looked at Liu Bei with a smile, "Could it be that you are here to warn me not to act like Gong Chen?" ”

"Naturally not, Zheng Gong has never been involved in political affairs, so he will definitely not do such a thing." Liu Bei smiled, "There are actually two things I want to ask Gong Zheng for help. ”

"Xuande can try to say it." Zheng Xuan took a sip of hot soup.

"Zheng Gong's protégés and disciples are all over Beihai, and these people have always been proud of Zheng Gong's protégés."

"Scholars, who are proud, sometimes inevitably do things that are contrary to the law. It's just that now Beibei is the minister of the North Sea, and in the eyes of Bei, there is only the law, and there is no selfishness. Zheng Gong and Lu Shisu are friends, so they don't hide it. ”

"The first thing I want to do is to ask Gong Zheng to restrain his disciples and stop doing illegal things, otherwise don't blame Beibei's subordinates for their selflessness at that time."

It wasn't until talking about political affairs at this time that Zheng Xuan was suddenly surprised.

The person in front of him was no longer the young man who needed to perform the gift of a disciple in Luoyang City, but the senior member of the court who ruled the Beihai side.

In the end, it is a world-famous Confucian, Zheng Xuan heard Liu Bei's straightforward words, not only was he not angry, but he smiled and said: "Xuande's words are reasonable, and the matter is said in front, it is better than the current words are harmonious, and he has a lot more trouble when he has a sunrise." ”

Liu Bei also smiled: "What Gong Zheng said is true. ”

"Xuande has a second thing? Let's talk about it together. ”

In fact, what was the second thing in Liu Bei's mouth, he already had some guesses in his heart.

Zheng Xuan has repeatedly been out of office, and what he is known for is nothing more than his scriptures and many protégés and disciples all over Beihai.

Liu Bei, a character like Liu Bei who couldn't even ask Lu Zhi to study on the Wushi Mountain in the past, naturally wouldn't come here today to learn his scriptures.

"Speaking of which, this second matter is also related to Zheng Gong's disciples." Liu Bei also took a sip of the hot soup in front of him, "Anyone who reads books thinks of embarking on a career as a scholar." ”

"It's just that Zheng Gong has been a disciple for many years, and although there are many people who know how to read, there are not many people who are suitable for politics, and it is extremely rare to be able to have one or two out of ten people." Liu Bei said with a smile.

Zheng Xuan nodded, how did he not know that the most important consideration in his career was not the quality of knowledge.

The great Confucians in the world are naturally among the best figures in terms of learning, but in the officialdom, most of them have repeatedly hit the wall.

"What Xuande said is not bad, this is indeed a science for officials, although the old man has some ability in governing the scriptures, but he is ashamed to be a teacher in this officialdom."

At this point in the words of the two, Sun Qian, who had always been calm on the side, changed his face slightly.

"Gong Zheng is too modest." Liu Bei smiled and glanced at Sun Qian beside him, "In case, Gongyou is a good person in governing the country." ”

Zheng Xuan also glanced at Sun Qian beside him, and laughed, "Since Xuande values Gongyou, then let him go with you." ”

"The old man has always known the ambition of Gongyou, and it is not his ambition to stay here and study the scriptures with me. The reason why he was not recommended to the imperial court before was just because the Tian family and other wealthy families controlled political affairs, and now I am very relieved to entrust him to Xuande. As for what will happen in the future, it only depends on his own ability. ”

"Master Zheng." Sun Qian stood up and bowed deeply.

"I have always known your ambitions, but now that the opportunity is rare, don't be such a little daughter." Zheng Xuan said with a smile.

"Yes." Sun Qian sat down again.

"In the future, if there is anything wrong with Gongyou, Xuande doesn't need to look at my face, he will be punished." Zheng Xuan said with a smile.

Liu Bei shook his head with a smile, naturally understood the meaning of Zheng Xuan's words, it seemed that he really valued Sun Qian.

"Even if Gong Zheng doesn't say anything, Gongyou will take me away." Liu Bei said with a smile, "It's just that what I'm asking for here is not just one public blessing. With so many disciples under Gong Zheng, wouldn't it be a pity if they couldn't all be used by the world. ”

His words were unexpected by Zheng Xuan, and Zheng Xuan glanced at him in surprise.

There has always been a fixed number of official positions in the public gate, and one person enters and one person leaves, which is also one of the reasons why officialdom often has to boil up qualifications.

There are at least thousands of his disciples, and now this Liu Bei dares to say that he wants to appoint all of them, and he can't help but be surprised.

"Although the old man rarely practices in the public gate, he knows a little bit about the things in it, what Xuande is saying now is not to play the old man?" Zheng Xuan said with a smile, "Even if you Liu Xuande really have such grand ambitions, I'm afraid that this position in Beihai Country can't accommodate so many people, right?" ”

"How dare you make fun of Zheng Gong? What Zheng Gong said is true, the DPRK and China of the Beihai Kingdom really can't accommodate so many scholars. Liu Bei smiled, "It's just that who said that scholars must enter the court?" ”

"Decades of hard study, is it just to embark on a career without success?" Liu Bei smiled, "I don't think it's right." ”

"When a scholar reads, he should read for the people of the world, not for his own family." Liu Bei said in a deep voice, "If it is beneficial to the world, if you don't care about your life, how can you just love your career!" ”

"The eldest husband should study for the world!"

Zheng Xuan put down the soup bowl in his hand and stopped Liu Bei, who still wanted to give an impassioned speech.

He smiled and said, "Don't say these benevolent and righteous words, when I said this, you didn't know where to go in the dirt." ”

"These so-called great benevolence and righteousness are true of what the scholars say, but they are not said for the readers." Zheng Xuanzhi's words hit the nail on the head, "There is a sentence that can be regarded as a little sincere." ”

"If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world." Zheng Xuan smiled, "If you can't even take care of yourself, what are you talking about to help the current situation?" To die with one body, in the name of righteousness? Such a person, of course, should be there, but there are not many. ”

Liu Bei touched his nose, but he forgot that Zheng Xuan in front of him was an old man who had seen the world, and this person was different from Lu Zhi and had never been a leader.

"What Zheng Gong said is reasonable, but in fact, he wants to organize people in the country to teach Mengtong to read and write." Liu Bei said with a smile.

Zheng Xuan, who originally wanted to raise his hand to pick up the bamboo slips on the side, heard that his hand was moving, but he stopped, raised his eyes and looked at Liu Bei, "Do you know that this matter is not easy?" ”

Liu Bei sat down and said with a smile: "I know." ”

"If you want to teach young children to enlighten in the country, there are many difficulties, one of which is that most books are now in the hands of families, and the so-called poetry and book heirloom is not a simple word. In the past, the Yuan family gradually rose up with the ability of the Jing family. Zheng Xuan straightened his body, "If you want to do this in the country, I'm afraid that you will offend those big families." ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "What Gong Zheng said is some advanced knowledge, and those country boys can learn at most one-tenth of this. The purpose of preparing this school is not to make all of them scholars, but to hope that they can read and count. ”

There is another point that he has not and cannot talk to Zheng Xuan.

Chaos is coming, the world is changing, and the most powerful person in the world will no longer be a family, but a person with a knife in his hand.

"Even if you don't care about the family, there are still two Xuande that you still need to think about." Zheng Xuan was silent for a moment before he spoke, "First, although there are many disciples under my sect, they will listen to me more. But most of them are from poor backgrounds, and even if they don't enter the official career, they always have to support their families. ”

In the past, when Zheng Xuan's family was teaching, he had personally plowed the fields because of poverty, and since he had already suffered from this, he naturally did not want his protégé to be the same.

"There is another thing, now the young people in the township rarely read, although there is a monopoly on books, but the people in the country are poor, and the young people in the family have to help the family with agricultural affairs when they grow up, which is also one of the reasons why they rarely read and write. Zheng Xuan asked.

Zheng Xuan is a person who has lived in the countryside for a long time, and he asked about the two difficulties of this matter.

"What Zheng Gong said is very true, and these preparations are naturally also considered." Liu Bei said with a smile, "First, for those scholars who are willing to go to the township to teach, their monthly money and grain will be provided by the country, and it is only a lot more. ”

"First, it is to allow more scholars to participate in it, and secondly, it is also to let those teenagers who have not yet studied know that teaching and educating people is also a good errand, so that they have more hope in reading."

"As for the teenagers who go to study in the village school, the national middle school will take care of their daily meals. If a person performs well in the school, the country will also reward him with money and food as an incentive. ”

"In this arrangement, I am afraid that a lot of money in the country will be used." Zheng Xuan asked.

Supporting the affairs of a country is naturally not small.

"What is given today is for his day. It's worth it all the time. Liu Bei said with a smile.

Zheng Xuan heard his words and was silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Although this matter is a rare good thing, it can be planted today, but I am afraid that the harvest will be in another day." And this matter is not a day, and if there is a slight change, it will be abandoned halfway. ”

"Xuande did this, what is the one who asks for it?"

Liu Bei smiled: "What will happen in the end, you always have to give it a try." ”

"Today's spark is incredible, and it can't be said that he will become a prairie fire in the future."
