Xuande

Chapter 72 Chicken Soup Master Liu Bei
After closing the door, Liu Bei quickly walked a few steps away from Lu Zhi's office, then lowered his head, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.

Teacher, don't be too keen, don't be so keenly aware of my true purpose.

I really regard you as my mentor, and I really admire you very much.

So, don't be so sharp, don't see me so clearly, okay?

I know that when I made that decision and expressed my opinion to Liu Hong, I didn't take the lives of other people into my heart.

As long as I am detached, as long as I am reused because of my status as a Han family clan, I don't care whether other people will be settled by the emperor and eunuchs.

For example, Chen Dan.

And Guo Hong.

or...

That 26-year-old passionate youth, Cao Cao.

At that time, I only had myself in my heart and no one else, there is no doubt about it, otherwise I would not be able to do such a thing.

Liu Bei raised his head, looked at the gray sky, and his heart was also clouded.

It's time for a heavy rain.

But there is only one heavy rain, how can this dirty world be washed away?
The news that Liu Bei was promoted by the emperor himself was quickly spread.

This matter and the elements of Liu Bei's being a clan member of the Han Dynasty were spread in the Luoyang scholar circle, and the scholar circle reached an important consensus.

Because of his courage against eunuchs and his special status as a Han family member, Liu Bei, a hard-core macho, was favored by Emperor Liu Hong.

In the years to come, he will get the holy family they dream of.

For such news, Cao Cao was very happy and envious. He regarded Liu Bei as a real good friend, and even his spiritual mentor in a certain sense. He also admired Liu Bei's heroic behavior, so he was really happy.

He deliberately ran to Shangshutai to find Liu Bei and congratulate him on his promotion.

"Now the outside world generally thinks that you will become Yilang like me in a short time. Once you become Yilang, your future will be limitless."

"That's not necessarily the case. There are so many Yilangs, but so few high-ranking officials? If you can be promoted by being a Yilang, why is Meng De still in the same place?"

Liu Bei blinked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly.

"Well, Liu Xuande, I came to congratulate you, but you made fun of me. I don't agree. If you don't invite me to have a good drink, this matter will never end, and I will hate you."

"How can anyone remember to hate others and say it on the spot?"

Liu Bei laughed and said, "No problem. Although I am poor, I can still afford a meal."

"It's a word."

Cao Cao happily clapped his hands with Liu Bei and made an agreement. Afterwards, he showed a little lonely emotion.

"Seeing Xuande's promotion, I am really envious. To be honest, I also have two purposes for participating in the operation this time. One is to gain fame and wash away the shame of being born in a family of eunuchs. The other is to go further. Lang's position was promoted, and he got a position where he could do things.

Although Yilang is noble, he has nothing to do, unless the emperor appoints him. On weekdays, I tried my best to submit a letter to His Majesty the emperor, hoping to get rid of the current problems and revitalize the man, but I never got a reply, so that I suspected that I was It's not that I'm not suitable to continue this position. "

Liu Bei sighed a bit when he looked at the hot-blooded young Cao Cao.

This passionate young man who once only wanted to be the general of the Han Dynasty conquered the west, probably experienced betrayal and disillusionment before gradually transforming into the hero who took the emperor to command the princes, right?
However, how different is his so-called betrayal from the struggle he experienced?
So much so that now I can look at Cao Cao who is still hot-blooded without any psychological burden, and say some "caring" words to him.

"The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Mengde, a little depression is not worth your constant emotion. Accumulate, settle, stabilize your heart, then one day you will get what you deserve. .”

Cao Cao didn't doubt that Liu Bei poured him this bowl of thick chicken soup for the soul, drank it in big mouthfuls, and absorbed the power of precipitation and accumulation from it.

Let it settle down.

Go ahead and accumulate.

When you have accumulated enough and accumulated enough, you will find that... the despicable pioneers have already occupied everything, and then took out some insignificant ones, marked the price, and are renting out.

Do you want it?
Take money if you want.

Just give the money and it's yours.

When it comes to filling chicken soup, Liu Bei doesn't think he is any worse than those old foxes in their [-]s and [-]s. If necessary, he can even mass-produce thick soup treasures. The chicken soup is rich and delicious, and anyone who drinks it will say it is good.

Anyway, chicken soup for the soul has been going on for 5000 years in China, and it has never lost its market.

Because someone is always young.

In fact, Guo Hong, who was more than 20 years older than Liu Bei, did not see through Liu Bei's actions.

Knowing that Liu Bei was promoted, he just lamented Liu Bei's bravery and good luck, as well as his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei's status is also low, and it is easy to be promoted. Sir?

The Sangong Jiuqing was a radish and a hole, and Liu Hongheng asked him for money in the middle. It is really too difficult to be the Sangong Jiuqing.

After thinking about it, Guo Hong felt that he might have to wait for a while, and waited for the expected return from Chen Dan, Yuan Shao and others.

He didn't know that at this moment, Yuan Shao was fine and was enjoying the changes brought about by his rising reputation, but Chen Dan still couldn't completely dispel the doubts in his heart.

Did Liu Bei's actions really stand on the standpoint of a scholar?

If Liu Bei's father-in-law is included in that request, then his explanation is indeed flawless.

But what about the vague sense of strangeness in Chen Dan's heart?
Having been in the officialdom for so many years, Chen Dan felt that his intuition was quite accurate. For example, he knew that the emperor behind the eunuch would not let it go, and would find an opportunity to make things difficult for him in the future and force him to abdicate.

It doesn't matter, the position of the three princes who cannot be recorded as a minister is not worth a pity. On the contrary, the political prestige of bringing down the other two three princes and defeating the eunuch is enough for him and his family to enjoy endlessly.

The big deal is to sacrifice yourself, pave the way for future generations, and pave the way for the family.

It's a good deal.

However, if Liu Bei hadn't taken the lead, he should have proposed the proposal to compensate the 26 county guards.

That's right, Chen Dan also thought of Liu Bei's proposal, and planned to enter the palace quietly after this incident, and then tell Liu Hong about it.

It's up to him to propose, it's up to him to get the greatest benefit, and it's up to him to escape the emperor's trial, as for the other young people...

Young people, you should experience more and feel the dangers of society, shouldn't you?

But the result of this matter was different from what he had imagined.

Liu Bei was there first.

It was still in front of him.

He put forward the exact same proposal so openly that Chen Dan once wondered whether Liu Bei had the ability to read minds and read people's hearts.

Otherwise how could he make the same suggestion as himself?

Chen Dan was naturally skeptical, but limited by Liu Bei's age and political experience, Chen Dan really couldn't combine a scheming conspirator with Liu Bei's majestic personality.

Very inconsistent.

How could an academically excellent debater and a romantic poet have such deep political plans?
This unscientific.

After thinking about it, he didn't have any other direct evidence, so he could only suppress this doubt in his heart, and began to pave the way for his family and plan his own way out, in order to avoid the eunuchs' future settlement as much as possible.

At least, you can't lose your life, right?
