Chapter 388: Ginger is still old and spicy

In the end, Cao Cao recognized Liu Bei as King Hanzhong in the name of the emperor and sent an envoy to send congratulatory gifts. Although at this time, he might not be able to alienate the alliance between Sun and Liu, at least he left a way for Cao Pi. Now the two families are intimate, but no one can tell what the future is going on. Maybe one day when it is necessary, the two sides will be able to unite.

Liu Bei also had the same thoughts and received Chen Qun who came to congratulate him. Chen Qun had a good relationship with Liu Bei. He was appointed as a leader in Yuzhou by Liu Bei in his early years. At that time, Liu Bei was planning to take Chen Qun as his confidant adviser to see him.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei's feet were unstable, so in the end the two were destined to be together.

Now that it has been almost twenty years since we continued, we can naturally feel sad when we meet old friends.

"Long article, the last time you and I met, I remember it was the third year of Jian'an?" Liu Bei pulled Chen Qun's acceptance, and the trick of the imperial court to be king was placed on the table, just pulling Chen Qun.

When Tao Qian was critically ill and was delayed by Xuzhou, Chen Qun advised Liu Bei to slow down on Xuzhou. Otherwise, if Liu Bei and Yuan Shu started a war, the rear would be empty and might be taken advantage of.

But at that time, Liu Bei was too eager for a piece of his own territory and did not follow Chen Qun's advice. What happened later was as Chen Qun expected, and it was useless to get a bamboo basket.

After that, Chen Qun was in Lu Bu's army. Later, Cao Cao captured Xuzhou and conquered Chen Qun. Since then, the relationship between the two of them has ended, but Liu Bei was often guilty of Chen Qun.

"It was the fourth year of Jian'an." Chen Qun nodded with a smile. In the fourth year of Jian'an, his father passed away, and Chen Qun resigned from his post to mourn his father. Since then, Liu Bei and Chen Qun have basically never met again.

"I didn't want to see it in a flash. It's almost twenty years." Liu Bei sighed and said, "Long article, I will introduce you to you. This is Zhuge Liang, Mr. Zhuge Kongming. Kong Ming has made great contributions to this day. This is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, who has the talent of conquering the world."

"I have heard of the name of the dragon and phoenix chicks for a long time." Chen Qun nodded to the two and said, "I saw it today and it turned out to be extraordinary."

Liu Yi always felt that when Chen Qun said this, he didn't go to see Pang Tong. Don't ask him why he knew it, a man's intuition.

Chen Qun's eyes were looking at Liu Yi. After the two of them collided in the air for a moment, they each staggered each other. Chen Qun smiled and said, "This must be the rumored Jingnan magic craftsman Liu Yi and Liu Boyuan."

Jingnan Divine Craftsman? Why do you feel that this title is a bit low?

"I dare not be a craftsman." Liu Yi shook his head and replied in a formulaic manner. Chen Qun obviously did not have the intention of in-depth exchanges with Liu Yi. If Liu Yi had not been famous now, it might have been an insult to the same seat with him. In this year, no matter how good you are, you still have to see birth. If you are not born well, even if you are powerful in the world, you will still be looked down upon by such people.

...

"Chen Qun, is it very famous?" Liu Yi was very surprised. Liu Bei, who is always familiar with the world, did not see that there was an awkward atmosphere in today's dinner?

He wanted to leave the table several times, but Liu Bei stopped him, which made Liu Yi very uncomfortable.

"It's true that he is famous. His grandfather Chen Shi, his father Chen Ji, and his uncle Chen Chen are all famous." Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile.

"It's not just that!" Pang Tong laughed and said, "Chen Changwen is rare and famous. After the Chen family in Yingchuan, all those who come and go are famous. Today, Bo Yuan can have a seat with him, so it should be honored."

"I haven't eaten well, I'm going to eat some more. Are you going with me?" Liu Yi shook his head. In that awkward atmosphere, it was possible that everyone else was in no mood to eat except Chen Qun and Liu Bei.

"No, I'm discussing the relocation with Xiaozhi in recent days." Zhuge Liang shook his head. He was indeed quite busy recently.

"Where are you?" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong.

"Go together." Pang Tong nodded. When he was not fighting, he was still relatively idle, at least not as busy as Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang was not fighting, he was very busy when he was fighting, especially in recent years, the Liu Bei Group has been expanding. Zhuge Liang wanted to maintain stability in the rear, so that was really busy.

Of course, this is also because of the reason why Liu Bei has many idle people. Recently, Zhuge Liang is improving the official system to address this issue. How effective is it? Let’s talk about it.

"When will we leave?" The two of them found a inn, sat opposite each other, ordered some dishes, and chatted while drinking.

Liu Yi had not finished many fortifications in Nanyang next time. Guan Yu had already set off to Nanyang first, and Liu Yi was about to leave.

"When the matter here is decided, if the lord decides to move here, Nanzheng should at least build a royal palace." Liu Yi said casually. The king's dignity should always be there. Now that Liu Bei has become king, he can no longer live in a place like the governor's mansion. At least he has to change the brand. He also needs to determine what Liu Bei means, and then set off again. He can think about what to do next on the way.

"I heard that Cao Wei is also drafting a new law." Pang Tong took a sip of wine and looked at Liu Yi and said, "What do Bo Yuan thinks?"

"At this time, everyone is looking for change. It is difficult to tell who is stronger and weak at this time. This requires time to verify it. No matter how much you and I say, it has no practical significance." Liu Yi shook his head. No system is imagined out of thin air. It has to be combined with reality. If it is suitable, it is useless. If it is not suitable, it will be useless no matter how good it looks.

Zhuge Liang used the method of governing the country according to law, but the labor cost is high. The most important thing is the supervision aspect. No matter how perfect it is, as long as it is carried out by people, there will definitely be loopholes.

"Boyuan is not worried about Kong Ming?" Pang Tong said, looking at Liu Yi outside.

"Kong Ming pursues perfection too much, but in this life, whether it is family or country, where does it come from? It's just that he finds a balance point through constant weighing and weighing." Liu Yi smiled with a wine bowl and said, "Tell Kong Ming about this, sometimes I am really worried that he will be exhausted."

He is obviously a politician, but he has the stubborn personality of an artist. Pursuing perfection in everything is not a good thing for a politician.

"Then why don't you say it yourself?" Pang Tong glanced at Liu Yi.

"I can't tell him." Liu Yi said helplessly. He could beat Pang Tong in words, but he couldn't beat Zhuge Liang. He was worried that he would be convinced by Zhuge Liang, but the so-called "one thing is defeated by another thing. Although Pang Tong often suffers with Liu Yi in words, Pang Tong rarely loses when he really debates with Zhuge Liang.

"It's OK, but next time you come back, you have to bring me some good wine." Pang Tong took a sip of wine and smacked his lips. There is a special winery in Tiangongfang, but it doesn't produce much, and it is mostly used to give away people. It is rarely sold to the public. Even as a friend, Pang Tong rarely tastes it.

...

Liu Bei was really good to Chen Qun. Liu Yi has seen it these two days. Although he is a Wei official, he may have wanted to make up for his past mistakes, and perhaps he has some other thoughts in it. Liu Bei has been with Chen Qun almost every day these days.

In this regard, Liu Yi can only say that people's hearts are actually quite cheap. He knows it is impossible, but he just wants to try it. Back then, Boss Cao wanted to subdue Guan Er Ge, and took it and compensated a lot of generals. Sun Quan wanted to win over Zhao Yun, but now Liu Bei wants to win over Chen Qun again. Is this a circle?

These things have little to do with him. In the next few days, Liu Yi was waiting for Chen Qun to leave. Some words could not be revealed to Chen Qun after all.

In the end, Chen Qun left in Liu Bei's kind hospitality. To put it bluntly, he came this time just to summon him. After staying for so long, he was prone to suspicion. Liu Yi could see Liu Bei's thoughts, and Chen Qun could naturally see them, but it was not easy to make it clear.

Following Liu Bei, he sent Chen Qun out of the city. Looking at Liu Bei who was reluctant to leave, Liu Yi finally couldn't help but speak: "Lord, you're not a person all the way!"

Chen Qun's philosophy is far from Liu Bei today. Chen Qun highly praised the status of scholars, while Liu Bei is actually similar to Cao Cao in many aspects, but only talent is to take charge. With this alone, the system proposed by Chen Qun cannot find a market for Liu Bei.

"I know!" Liu Bei nodded and smiled.

"Uh..." Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei in surprise, and the style became a little different.

"I know that Changwen must have some plans when he comes to Hanzhong this time." Liu Bei looked at Chen Qun's direction of leaving and smiled: "If it weren't for this, how could he be able to bind him?"

"Lord is very good, I admire you." Liu Yi bowed to Liu Bei. Sure enough, Jiang is still so hot. Cao Cao sent Chen Qun here this time, obviously for Cao Cao's purpose. As a result, Chen Qun was pulled by Liu Bei and had been talking about his heart for so long. Now Liu Yi has begun to sympathize with Chen Qun.

"I am also considering what Kong Ming said these days. Since it is the destiny of heaven, then we will move to this place. This time, don't build a large-scale construction." Liu Bei said in the end, not helplessly, not that he didn't want to, but that although he had expanded rapidly in recent years, Xiangyang, descended, and there was also the road from Hanzhong to Nanyang. Liu Bei found that he had no money recently, so he could only save some money and wait until he delayed for two years before considering it.
