Teachers come from the same origin?

Liu Bei was surprised and delighted.

Lu Zhi is a disciple of Ma Rong of Fufeng County, Zheng Xuankou is called Fufeng Ma Shi, and he said that the teacher is of the same origin, so he must also be Ma Rong's disciple, and it was recommended by Lu Zhi to Ma Rong!

It's stable!

Liu Bei's apprehension when he came disappeared most of it in an instant.

Similarly, Zheng Xuan's eyes were different when he looked at Liu Bei.

Although Zheng Xuan is older than Lu Zhi, there is no order to learn, and the master is the teacher, Zheng Xuan was recommended by Lu Zhi to worship under Ma Rong, and calling Lu Zhi "Brother Zi" is a respect for Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi's conduct, Zheng Xuan is also very clear, mediocre people can't get into Lu Zhi's eyes.

Liu Bei can become a disciple of Lu Zhi, which means that Liu Bei's conduct is qualified in Lu Zhi's eyes.

"Master Lu offended Dong Zhuo and said that he was sick and returned to his hometown." Liu Bei did not lose his temper because of the relationship between Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan, and was still humble and polite.

Zheng Xuan stroked his beautiful hair, looked up to Liu Bei a few points, and took the school test: "Xuande is under the disciple of Zi Gan Brother, what kind of classics do you have?" ”

What is the classic?

This stumped Liu Bei.

Although he studied under Lu Zhi, Liu Bei was a scumbag who "didn't like to study".

But Zheng Xuan asked, and Liu Bei had to answer, so he could only stubbornly say: "Master Lu mentions, mainly reciting "Hanshu" and "Book of Rites", and reading "Liutao" and "Shangjunshu" in his spare time. But Liu Bei is dull, although he studied at Master Lu, he only knows a little about it, let alone studying the classics. ”

Zheng Xuanmu has the meaning of appreciation: "Reading the Book of Han can know the rise and fall of the previous dynasty, reading the Book of Rites can know the rules and regulations system, reading the "Liutao" can understand the art of marching and war, and reading the "Book of Shang Jun" can understand the wealth of the country and the strengthening of the army. ”

"Brother Zi has high hopes for Xuande!"

"Xunzi" advises learning: the soil becomes a mountain, the wind and rain prosper, the water becomes an abyss, the dragon is born, the good is virtuous, and the gods are self-satisfied, and the sacred heart is prepared."

"Therefore, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't even reach thousands of miles, you don't accumulate small streams, and you can't become rivers and seas."

"Qi Ji jumps, can't take ten steps, ten horses, and the merit is relentless."

"Perseverance, rotten wood does not break; Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved. ”

"The worm has no claws and teeth, and the muscles and bones are strong. The crab is six kneeling and two claws, and there is no one who can be sustained in the cave of the non-snake eel, and he is also restless. ”

"Brother Zi teaches the profession, the best at teaching according to aptitude, since Xuande is mentioned to read the "Book of Han", "Book of Rites", "Liutao" and "Book of Shangjun", then Xuande should not be arrogant, and use dullness as an excuse not to concentrate on reading and researching."

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment.

When he was studying under Lu Zhi, Liu Bei really didn't understand why Lu Zhi suggested that he read these four books.

As a scumbag who "doesn't like to read", Liu Bei saw that what others learned was different from what he learned, and subconsciously thought that it was because he had no talent for reading that chilled Lu Zhi's heart, and Lu Zhi acquiesced to Liu Bei's rottenness.

But now, Zheng Xuan clearly explained Lu Zhi's intention of Liu Bei to read these four books.

Like an initiation, what Liu Bei couldn't understand before, suddenly all of them were understood.

Knowing the rise and fall of the previous dynasties, the rules and regulations system, knowing the art of marching and war, and strengthening the army in the Ming Dynasty.

This is something that only the three princes and nine ministers who rank in the court, or the state pastor who guards the side of the shepherd, will study and consider.

Lu Zhi's expectation for Liu Bei is not to let Liu Bei study the classics like ordinary Confucian scholars, but to let Liu Bei learn how to be a minister!

But it's a pity that Liu Bei didn't understand it before, and he also read these four books with a little understanding, so that he was only able to be a Gao Tang Ling when he was thirty.

Or because the world is chaotic, Chen Ji has no one to use, and the tall man in the short man is the Gao Tang Ling, this has to be put in the past, let alone the Gao Tang Ling, Liu Bei can be a pavilion chief.

"Does my teacher have such high hopes for me?" Liu Bei was both surprised and remorseful.

I was surprised by Lu Zhi's high hopes, and I regretted that he was rotten when he was studying.

But soon, Liu Bei straightened out his mind again.

Although he woke up relatively late, as said in "The Analects of Liren", "When you hear the Tao, you can die at night." It's not too late to start learning seriously.

What made Liu Bei even more confident was that Zheng Xuan was persuading him to learn!

uses the "Xunzi" persuasion chapter to persuade learning, which means that Zheng Xuan has already regarded Liu Bei as a younger generation to teach.

Liu Bei got up and bowed for a long time: "Foolish nephew Liu Bei, thank Uncle Xie for mentioning something!" In the future, I will devote myself to reading and researching, and live up to the high expectations of Master Lu and my uncle. ”

Although he is not good at reading, Liu Bei is clever and good at making friends.

Taking the opportunity of Zheng Xuan's persuasion, Liu Bei was humbly known as a fellow junior, and directly narrowed the relationship with Zheng Xuan.

The teacher is of the same origin, Liu Bei calls himself a foolish nephew and calls an uncle, which cannot be regarded as flattery.

And Wang Xuan on the side was already dumbfounded.

said that the examination school was good, how did it become the same sect and recognize the sect?

In the blink of an eye, Liu Bei will become Zheng Xuan's nephew?

Zheng Xuan laughed, and the more he looked at Liu Bei, the more satisfied he became.

"Xuande came to look for the old man this time, but is there anything else?" Zheng Xuan asked knowingly.

With the relationship with Zheng Xuan's uncle and nephew, Liu Bei didn't hide it anymore, and said frankly: "Uncle Shi, the foolish nephew came this time, there are two things. ”

"The first thing is to ask Zheng Ping, the second son of my uncle, to take the post of county magistrate in Gaotang County, and listen to his teachings sooner or later."

"The second thing is Chen Xiang of Pingyuan County, who asked his nephew to send a letter to his uncle, hoping that his uncle can recommend some wise men to Pingyuan County."

Zheng Xuan was slightly surprised: "Chen Ji and Chen Yuanfang, one of the three gentlemen of Yingchuan, the old man has already intended to pay a visit!" ”

Liu Bei respectfully handed Chen Ji's letter to Zheng Xuan.

After glancing at it, Zheng Xuan pondered for a moment: "Sun Qian, a native of Beihai County, has the talent of the state and county, and is also the old man's doorman, and now he is idle at home. If Chen Xiang is interested, he can be recruited to take up the position, and the rest has to be asked by the old man. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed.

Although there is only one Sun Gan, this Sun Qian can be directly recruited.

You can't be too greedy, and the talents of this state and county are not casual.

After a pause, Zheng Xuan said again: "The old man heard that you have an agreement with Xianmou, if you become a Gao Tang Order, you can come to visit again." ”

"The conspiracy has always been very assertive, and the old man can't make promises for the conspiracy."

"Xuande, you have to inquire about this matter in person."

Liu Bei sighed secretly, and then bowed again: "When I first served as Gao Tang Ling, there were still complicated affairs in the county, and I couldn't come out for too long. Please ask Uncle Shi to borrow pen and ink temporarily, and leave a letter for the foolish nephew, and ask Uncle Shi to transfer it to Mr. Xianmou! ”
