Chapter 214: On the Heroes
Although the scenery of Yueyang is beautiful and comfortable, Liu Bei and others did not stay for too long. In addition to accepting the new city, their purpose was actually to come with a playful attitude. After all, the three brothers have not been a good distance since the Battle of Chibi. Even though Guan Yu was in the public security, he was practicing the navy most of the time, while Liu Bei was in charge of government affairs, and there was actually not much time to get together.
It can be seen that Liu Bei was still very satisfied with the gains of this trip. The role of Yueyang City exceeded his expectations. Of course, from then on, the taxes in the fishing town and even the entire Changsha will be restored. Liu Bei has now begun to make every effort to prepare for entering Sichuan. Everything in Jingzhou is centered on this matter. Even if Liu Yi has other plans, he has to make way for this matter.
Zhang Fei left, just as he said, although Yueyang is good, it is not a place where a good man should stay. As for the standards for a good man, it was naturally determined by Zhang Fei, but Zhang Bao was kept. Liu Yi felt that his ideal seemed to be realized, because Guan Yu didn't know why, Guan Xing also left it, and he might really be a Three Kingdoms version of the kindergarten here.
"I heard that Guan Ping seems to have changed since he returned from your command." Sitting in the pavilion, Cui Zhouping looked at the chessboard, looked at Guan Xing, who was competing with Zhang Bao in the distance, and smiled at Liu Yi.
"I don't care about this." Liu Yi looked at him blankly after hearing this.
"You..." Cui Zhouping said helplessly: "Since you have no intention of career, why not be like me, be a free hermit. You and I are in love with the mountains and rivers, why bother with the right and wrong in this world? Then Guan Ping, Liu Feng, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, are considered to be your disciple, and they are half of your disciple."
"But I still have some ambitions to be displayed. Among the three great masters today, the emperor is the most suitable." Liu Yi smiled and shook his head.
"The world is like a tide and a water. It's a pity that a few people in the world have returned. This officialdom is not as free and easy as the world." Cui Zhouping sneered: "For the scholars in Jingzhou, Liu Feng and Guan Ping are not yet, but Huang Zhong and Wei Yan are different. Including Liu Sandao, who is still in Lingling, they are already regarded as your faction and will naturally be suppressed. If you cannot stand up at this time, they will be like rootless floating floating pads and can only fight each other. If you want to stand under Liu Bei's command, you also need their support. In this way, more and more people gather around you, and your status will become more and more stable."
"Not it." Although Liu Yi felt that someone was targeting him, Liu Bei was pretty good at him and attached great importance to him.
"Now Uncle Liu really attaches importance to you." Cui Zhouping played with the chess piece in his hand and looked at Liu Yi and smiled: "But I'm blunt, he is old. It's not clear whether the new master can value you like Liu Bei in a hundred years. Your connections are actually not bad. Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun are quite kind to you. Among the younger generation, Liu Feng and Guan Ping respect you, but you have never been good at making friends with these people. As well as Kong Ming and Shi Yuan, you can be friends."
"Then have you ever thought about it..." Liu Yi silently fell down a son and smiled bitterly: "Did rabbit cook?"
When Cui Zhouping heard this, he looked up at Liu Yi in surprise, groped in the chess piece in his hand and looked at the chessboard and said, "Since we talked about this topic, we might as well discuss the previous one. In fact, looking at the past and present, it is not uncommon to kill heroes, especially since Emperor Gaozu, did Bo Yuan ever think about why Emperor Gaozu wanted to kill heroes back then?"
Liu Yi thought about it and said that it was not just now, but it was like this for a thousand years to go to. There were really not many founding heroes who could have a good ending, but why did this happen? Liu Yi also thought of saying, "There is no way to seal it?"
Generally, founding heroes have a high status, and even dare to slap the table with the emperor. I don’t know if there are any of them before, but there will definitely be one in the future. And if these people accidentally make contributions, what else can they seal them?
"This is one of them." Cui Zhouping smiled and fell a son on the chessboard and said, "Take Emperor Gaozu as an example, in fact, each of the three masters in the early Han Dynasty is far superior to that of Gaozu. In other words, no one of these people rebelled, Gaozu may be able to suppress it!"
"People's hearts are unpredictable. Emperor Gaozu did not have the ability to identify whether those heroes had no second hearts or energy to identify them one by one. Moreover, if only seeking loyalty or virtue, there are a few people available, so use them first. After the world is unified, there is no need to care about who is loyal. Just see who has the ability to threaten the country, and then kill them. Anyway, the world has been settled, and the talents of these people may not be able to use their skills." Cui Zhouping's eyes were filled with wisdom with a little insight into the world's feelings.
Liu Yi silently fiddled with the chess pieces in the chess box, unable to refute.
It seems that this is true.
"Let's take a step back." Cui Zhouping fiddled with the chess piece and said, "When the world was determined, Emperor Gaozu was old. Even if these heroes were loyal to him, were they loyal to the new king? Can the young tigers shock the wolves?"
"Uncertain." Liu Yi nodded, but understood that no matter whether he could or not, these are uncertain factors.
Therefore, the profession of emperor is usually the most insecure and suspicious profession.
Liu Yi suddenly said curiously: "Do Kong Ming understand this principle when you talk about it?"
"Of course I understand." Cui Zhouping leaned against the chair, closed his eyes and smiled: "But sometimes, if you learn a lot, if you don't have to use it, wouldn't it be a waste of life?"
"What about you?" Liu Yi said curiously. It's hard to say which one is stronger, which is better, and Zhuge Liang is naturally great in terms of reputation, but Cui Zhouping gave him a more thorough view of things. In other words, he is willing to explain things thoroughly to himself, but his talent and knowledge are enough to be among the top talents in the world. Why are he willing to be a hermit like this?
"Me?" Cui Zhouping sighed, "I just want the world to be decided early. Nowadays, no matter which side I join, I cannot control the situation in the world, and I cannot eliminate the war as soon as possible. Why bother to worry?"
"What if you want to become an official?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.
"Simple, if your lord can defend Jingzhou while occupying Yizhou and maintain an alliance with Jiangdong, the new lord will succeed to the throne, it will be the day I will become an official." Cui Zhouping smiled.
The new master is naturally Liu Chan, which means that Cui Zhouping never thought of going with Liu Bei anyway.
Liu Yi said in surprise: "Why is this?"
"It's simple. The new lord succeeds to the throne. Even if no one has a second heart, he will want to form his own power. When I become an official again, I will definitely be valued. After all, I am a child of the Cui family. If I become a county magistrate like now, how can I bear it?" Cui Zhouping said naturally: "And the killing aura of the new lord is not as heavy as the founding king."
嘿,我还是好好当我的匠作中郎将吧!
Liu Yi thought speechlessly that although he had considered the future, he did not consider it so far. It seems that he should also hug the calves of A Dou, who was less than three years old?
"Don't lose your normal mind. In fact, when you were the most famous, you were in Wolonggang. Although you had no reputation at that time, you could not be humble or arrogant." Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Yi, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and smiled: "You are now...the calculation is too heavy."
"That's natural, I have to be self-reliant!" Liu Yi was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and smiled, "This is probably the first time I beat you?"
"What?" Cui Zhouping was stunned when he heard this, looked down at the chessboard, and his face gradually became speechless: "Are you planning to plot against me?"
I was taken into the state of a life mentor by Liu Yi unknowingly, talking about life insights and life philosophy, which was really good, but Liu Yi seemed to have been thinking about the chessboard. In addition, Liu Yi has been abused so many times, and his chess skills have grown. Now Cui Zhouping is no longer as easy as he wants to beat Liu Yi. Now he is induced to be distracted by Liu Yi again, so he is naturally taken advantage of the situation and Liu Yi takes advantage of it.
"The chess battle is the heart battle, I didn't cheat." Liu Yi smiled happily: "Don't be so serious about gains and losses."
"You..." Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Yi with a funny look and said, "Forget it, it's too late today, let's go tomorrow."
"Is the county very idle?" Liu Yi said curiously.
"How many things can there be?" Cui Zhouping said: "In addition, the matter of cooking a rabbit dead and a dog... Actually, you may not need to consider it. As you said, you must have the ability to rebel."
Liu Yi: “…”
Look down on me?
"Hahahaha~" The discomfort of losing the game disappeared in an instant, and Cui Zhouping walked out with a laugh.
“先生,崔先生笑什么?”两个熊孩子凑到刘毅身边,好奇的问道.
"Who knows?" Liu Yi shook his head: "Today's homework is finished?"
"It's done, sir, please check it out." Guan Xing raised his chest and said loudly.
"Bo has finished it too." Zhang Bao said unwillingly.
Liu Yi stood up, looked at the books copied by the two of them, and then checked some more. Seeing that they were both well-written, he nodded and said, "Let's come here today, go home each one. Remember, don't leave the guard's gaze, otherwise..."
"Don't worry, sir!" The two naughty children agreed, turned around and ran away happily. Liu Yi rubbed his temples. I don't know how long this peaceful day could last. Judging from Liu Bei's previous words, he wanted to bring himself into Sichuan this time. However, Liu Yi was more concerned about the issue of Jingzhou. Anyway, according to history, in addition to losing a Pang Tong, Liu Bei had almost no big obstacle to occupying Yizhou. Instead, Jingzhou needs to pay attention.
"Husband, what are you thinking about?" Lu Lingqi appeared behind Liu Yi at some point, put on a cloak, and asked with a smile.
"The future." Liu Yi touched Lu Lingqi's hand. Cui Zhouping's words still had some impact on him. At least he should try to gather his own power and connections. Under Liu Bei's command, his connections are indeed not bad.
"The future?" Lu Lingqi said in confusion.
"Will we have a son or daughter in the next child?" Liu Yi smiled.
