Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 12 Zheng Xuan Encourages Learning, Preaching and Teaching Karma to Solve Puzzles

Learn from the same source?

Liu Bei was surprised and delighted.

Lu Zhi is a disciple of Ma Rong in Fufeng County. Zheng Xuankou called Fufeng Mashi, and said that the master came from the same source, so he must also be Ma Rong's disciple, and it was Lu Zhi who recommended him to Ma Rong!

Now it's stable!

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

Similarly, Zheng Xuan looked at Liu Bei differently.

Although Zheng Xuan is older than Lu Zhi, he has no priority in learning, and those who are masters are teachers. Zheng Xuan was recommended by Lu Zhi to join Ma Rong's school. Calling Lu Zhi "Brother Zigan" is a respect for Lu Zhi.

Zheng Xuan is also very clear about Lu Zhi's conduct. A mediocre person cannot catch Lu Zhi's eyes.

Liu Bei's ability to become Lu Zhi's disciple means that Liu Bei's character is qualified in Lu Zhi's eyes.

"Master Lu offended Dong Zhuo and returned home because of his illness." Liu Bei did not lose his composure because of the relationship between Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan, and remained humble and respectful.

Zheng Xuan stroked his beautiful beard, looked up to Liu Bei again, and asked the school: "Xuande is under brother Zigan's family, what classics can he rule?"

What classic?

This stumped Liu Bei.

Although he studied under Lu Zhi's family, Liu Bei was a scumbag who "didn't like studying very much".

But Zheng Xuan asked, and Liu Bei had to answer, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Master Lu made a point, mainly reading "Han Shu" and "Book of Rites", and reading "Six Secret Teachings" and "Shang Jun Shu" in his spare time But Liu Bei is dull, even though he studied under Master Lu, he only knows a little about it, let alone studying the classics."

Zheng Xuanmu expressed his appreciation: "Reading "Hanshu" can tell the rise and fall of the previous dynasty; reading "Book of Rites" can understand the rules and regulations; reading "Six Secret Teachings" can understand the art of marching; reading "Book of Shang Jun" can reveal the prosperity of the country and the strength of the army. "

"Brother Zigan has high hopes for Xuande!"

""Xunzi" has a saying in exhorting learning: Accumulate soil to form mountains, wind and rain rise, accumulate water to form abyss, flood dragons grow, accumulate goodness to become virtue, and gods are self-satisfied, and the holy heart is prepared."

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

"When a Qiji leaps, he can't take ten steps, but if a rough horse rides ten times, he will never let go of his merits."

"If you persevere, you will not break the dead wood; if you persevere, you will carve gold and stone."

"Earthworms do not have the sharpness of claws and teeth, but strong bones and muscles. They eat mud on the top and drink the springs on the bottom. Crabs have six knees and two claws. They are not snakes and eels.

"Brother Zigan is the best at teaching students according to their aptitude. Since Xuande is reminded to read the "Book of Han", "Book of Rites", "Six Secret Teachings" and "Book of Shang Jun", then Xuande should not underestimate himself and use stupidity as an excuse not to devote himself to it. Read and study."

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment.

When he was studying under Lu Zhi's school, Liu Bei really didn't understand why Lu Zhi suggested to read these four books by himself.

As a scumbag who "doesn't like reading very much", Liu Bei saw that other people's studies were different from his own, and subconsciously thought that he had no talent for reading, which made Lu Zhi feel cold. Lu Zhi even acquiesced in Liu Bei's failure .

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

Like enlightenment, what Liu Bei couldn't figure out before suddenly figured it all out.

Know the rise and fall of the previous dynasty, understand the rules and regulations, understand the art of marching and military, and understand the prosperity of the country and the strength of the army.

This is something that only the three princes and nine ministers in the imperial court, or the prefect of the prefecture who is on the side of Mushou, will study and consider.

Lu Zhi's expectation for Liu Bei is not to let Liu Bei study 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 read these four books with only a half-knowledge, so that he was worthy of being a Gaotang Ling when he was thirty.

Or because of the chaos in the world, Chen Ji had no one to use, and the tall one became the Gaotangling among the short ones. This should be put in the past, not to mention the Gaotangling, Liu Bei would be a good pavilion chief.

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

The surprise is Lu Zhi's high hopes, but the regret is that he failed when he was studying.

But soon, Liu Bei regained his composure.

Although I woke up relatively late, as it said in "The Analects of Confucius Liren", "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening." It is not too late to start studying seriously now.

What made Liu Bei more confident was that Zheng Xuan was persuading him to learn!
Using "Xunzi" to encourage learning means that Zheng Xuan has already regarded Liu Bei as a younger generation to teach.

Liu Bei got up and bowed to him: "My stupid nephew, Liu Bei, thank you for your advice! From now on, I will devote myself to reading and researching, so as to live up to the expectations of Master Lu and my uncle."

Although he can't read well, Liu Bei is quick-witted and good at making friends.

Taking advantage of Zheng Xuan's persuasion opportunity, Liu Bei directly shortened the relationship with Zheng Xuan by humbly calling him a junior in the same school.

Teachers come from the same source, and Liu Bei's self-proclaimed foolish nephew calling him uncle is not flattering.

On the other hand, Wang Xiu was already stunned.

How did the agreed-upon school examination turn into a fellow-sect affirmation?

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

Also dumbfounded was Zhang Fei who was ordered not to speak by Liu Bei.

This has come full circle, and the sages requested by my elder brother all come from the same source?

Zhang Fei felt itchy in his heart, and he couldn't vomit, but he was afraid of Liu Bei's scolding, so he could only drink the wine one mouthful at a time.

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

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

Now that he has a relationship with Zheng Xuan's uncle and nephew, Liu Bei no longer hides it, and said frankly: "Uncle, my nephew is here for two things."

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

"The second one is Prime Minister Chen from Pingyuan County. He asked my nephew Yu to send a letter to my uncle, hoping that my uncle can recommend some wise men to serve in Pingyuan County."

Zheng Xuan was slightly surprised: "Chen Ji, Chen Yuanfang, one of the three lords of Yingchuan, I have long wanted to pay a visit!"

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

After glancing at it, Zheng Xuan thought for a moment: "Sun Qian, a native of Beihai County, has the talent of the state and county, and is also the disciple of the old man. Now he is at home. If Chen Xiang is interested, he can be recruited to work, and the rest will have to be done. Let the old man inquire."

Liu Bei was overjoyed.

Although there is only one grandson, this grandson can be recruited directly.

One should not be too greedy, and the talents of this state and county are not found casually.

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

"Xianmou has always been very assertive in his actions. This old man cannot promise for Xianmou."

"You have to ask Xuande yourself about this matter."

Liu Bei sighed secretly, and bowed again: "I was appointed as Gaotang magistrate for the first time, and I still have complicated affairs in the county, so I can't be out for too long. Please borrow my pen and ink for a while, and my stupid nephew left a letter, please pass it on to Xianmou gentlemen!"

　Thanks to all the readers for their support, this is the first time I have received a test post.

　　Although the author has written a lot about the Three Kingdoms, the starting point is the first signing.

　　It's a bit of a stretch, but I'll try.
