Xuande

Chapter 26 My way, how should I go on?
Zhen Yan had actually been sizing Liu Bei up and down for a long time.

He estimated that Liu Bei was more than eight feet tall, with a majestic figure, a dignified appearance, extraordinary clothes, and extraordinary speech, so he knew that he was not the kind of poor Han clan who lived on the streets.

The four characters of the clan of the Han family have no reputation in today's big Han world. It is okay to scare ordinary people. For people with a bit of status and knowledge, it needs to be treated dialectically.

Unless the Liu family's children are close relatives of the current royal family, if they have a little ability, no one will know that they are Han family members until they become famous. It has never been heard that they became famous because they are Han family members.

Zhen Yan has seen many down-and-out family members of the Han family, hungry and full, clinging to the name of the Han family and not letting go, unwilling to do something that can survive, and still live in the glory of the ancestors .

It's just trash.

Of course, there are also some capable clansmen of the Han Dynasty, such as Liu Biao, who is known as one of the Eight Talents, is a well-known clan clan of the Han Dynasty and a celebrity in the world.

Although this Liu Bei has never been famous in the world, he should be a Han family member with some skills. Judging by his clothes, he has so many cavalry trilogy, and his combat effectiveness is still very strong. At least he is a powerful party, like a local snake. .

Not to mention that the other party has the grace to save lives, it is definitely not a bad thing to simply communicate with each other. Who knows when the other party will not be useful in the future?

The children of the Zhen family who have encountered great difficulties have a very deep understanding of this. They know that there are many friends and many ways. At critical moments, some of the many friends can help no matter what happens.

When making friends, you need to pay attention to your attitude. You must have a good attitude, and you must not offend anyone easily.

So Zhen Yan bowed again.

"Brother Xuande's words are very true. Serving the country is the foundation of our generation. Brother Xuande is Gao Yi, I am ashamed of myself..."

I was a little embarrassed to be blown up by him, so Liu Bei also started to blow him up, Zhen Yan continued to blow up, Liu Bei went back to blowing up, the two of you blow up each other, and after a business blowing each other, they finally got to the point.

Looking at Liu Bei's knights who were sweeping the battlefield to collect the loot, Zhen Yan was a little curious.

"Brother Xuande brought so many knights, where do you want to go?"

"Luo Yang."

"Oh? I'm going to Luoyang too."

Zhen Yan was a little surprised, and said, "Why not go with me?"

"Not as good as peers."

Liu Bei chuckled, so he made an appointment with Zhen Yan that everyone would go to Luoyang together.

On the way, Zhen Yan and Liu Bei continued to brag about each other's business, and finally knew each other that they were Xiaolian Lang who was promoted as Xiaolian this year, and they were going to Luoyang to participate in the re-examination of the government.

And Zhen Yan also learned that Liu Bei has a great teacher who is a great Confucianist in the country. This time he went to Luoyang to seek refuge with the teacher and strive to stay in Luoyang Central.

The key is that he is not some simple disciple, he is the direct disciple of that great Confucianist in China!

Good guy, it's just like Frog Seeds eating Mickey Mouse Corners and coming to Mickey Mouse Club House, it's wonderful!

The way Zhen Yan looked at Liu Bei changed immediately.

The Wuji Zhen family made their fortunes in the late Western Han Dynasty and the Xinmang period, especially in the Xinmang period, the Wuji Zhen family became very rich and became a top wealthy family. The four members of the family were all top officials, and people called it "Four Zhens".

Later, the Xinmang dynasty fell, and the Zhen family offended Wang Mang even before Wang Mang fell, and was purged by Wang Mang in a targeted manner.

After Liu Xiu returned to the Han Dynasty, he treated Zhen Han kindly for various reasons. The descendants of Zhen Han were able to inherit the family business. In the Zhongshan Kingdom, the two thousand stones have a certain status in the local area. of.

Having said that, the Wuji Zhen family is still a local local snake in Gaomen, Hebei, and Zhongshan Country, and there is still a bit of background.

The Zhen family has used Zhongshan's qualifications of filial piety and honesty to enter the officialdom for generations, and can also maintain the dignity of a county-level tycoon. Compared with the half-step county-level tycoon who has just risen in the Liu family, the Wuji Zhen family is still very popular The presence.

However, Liu Bei has a great Confucian teacher who is also his personal disciple, so the meaning is different.

Zhen Yan is also very clear that in this era, the Zhen family is only a local family. Looking at the rich and powerful families in the world, the Zhen family is almost meaningless, and they can't even squeeze into Luoyang.

The real wealthy families these days are families that need Confucian classics to settle down. Not counting, at most a third-rate gentry.

At any rate, Liu Bei followed the great Confucian Lu Zhi to study "Zuoshi Chunqiu". Relying on Lu Zhi's relationship, as a disciple of the great Confucianism, Lu Zhi's successor, it is not difficult to stay in the central government. In the future, relying on the political resources controlled by Lu Zhi to promote It is not difficult for Liu Bei to go to the next level.

Once relying on the promotion of Lu Zhi and others to successfully stay in the central government, Liu Bei's Han family clan status will be able to play a role, and it will not be difficult to make a fortune in the future.

And Zhen Yan has no wealth, relying on what he learned from a teacher who is not too famous, and carrying a surname with historical problems, how easy is it to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang?

The biggest possibility is that after serving as a Lang Guan, he returns to Zhongshan Kingdom to inherit the ancestral business, continue the family business in Zhongshan Kingdom, continue the two thousand stones for generations, and become the leader of Zhongshan Kingdom.

It's safe to do so, but...

First of all, he has more than one son in the family, but there is only one position of Erqianshi.

What's more, young people have seen the size of the world and the prosperity of the metropolis, and they always want to venture out instead of staying in their hometown and guarding their ancestral business.

He is unwilling.

At this moment, Liu Bei appeared.

He immediately felt that he needed to deepen his relationship with Liu Bei, what if it would come in handy in the future?

So Zhen Yan took advantage of the current situation and went south to Luoyang with Liu Bei. On the way, he took on the food and drink expenses of Liu Bei's motorcade in the name of repaying his kindness, showing his arrogance as a big dog.

Although the Zhen family has lost its glory in the past, the family fortune accumulated after years of dormancy in the local area is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

He entertained Liu Bei and others with delicious food and drink, and fish was indispensable every day. When the ingredients he brought were used up, he went to the surrounding towns to buy them, and then let the cooks in the motorcade cook them.

Although it was just a simple operation such as steaming, cooking and roasting, Liu Bei's face was full of red light, and Han Ning's cheeks were also puffed up by the food.

When he finally arrived in Luoyang, Liu Bei felt that he couldn't eat any more, and it would be a problem to get on a horse after eating.

"It's just that the road is uneven. Ziya spent a lot of time entertaining food and drink all the way. I am very grateful. If you have free time later, I should ask Ziya to talk about it to express my gratitude."

"How can you repay the grace of saving life by eating and drinking? Besides, money is just something outside of the body. Apart from money, there is nothing else that can be repaid to Xuande."

Zhen Yan said with a smile: "When I have free time later, I will continue to thank Xuande, otherwise I will feel really sorry."

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing, and didn't know what to say, so he could only tell each other where they lived in Luoyang City, and agreed to meet again after the retest by the government.

He has thought about it, this Wuji Zhen's family background is far superior to his own, if he really has anything worthy of his treatment, it is probably that he has Lu Zhi as a teacher.

Good teacher, good teacher.

You have brought me so many things.

If I make a fortune in the future, how should I thank you?

Before Liu Bei's eyes, the outline of the ancient Luoyang giant city was first seen, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the decline of the empire could be seen at a glance.

In this fertile land where all things thrive, corrupt officials and criminals from all walks of life work intensively here, constantly widening the track, breaking through the bottom line of being a person, and constantly pushing the human creature into a deeper abyss slide.

Even so, the centipede is dead but not stiff, and Luoyang is still a world-class giant city with a population far beyond anyone's imagination. It can be called the number one prefect in the world.

How should I go on my way?
With boundless imagination, at the last moment when the city gate was closed, Liu Bei's convoy entered Luoyang City smoothly and merged into the torrent of power of this era.
