After Liu Jing and Liu Biao saw the ceremony, they exchanged a few words, then immediately turned to Song Zhong, raised their sleeves, clasped their fists and bowed, and said: "Disciple Liu Jing, I would like to pay my respects to you, sir."

Song Zhong was the former master who carried the Eight Sutras of Shuxiu Zhenger and worshiped him. Even if Song Zhong did not teach him for a day, the relationship between the two would not change.

"Zhongda doesn't need to be too polite. Seeing that Zhongda has achieved something now, I am very pleased as a teacher and encourage him." Song Zhong looked at Liu Jing with a very complicated mood.

Song Zhong is about forty years old, almost fifty, of medium height, with a long and thin face, sharp eyes, and a strong air of elegance all over his body. He is from Nanyang County, has many annotators, and is less famous than Zheng Xuan was still a great scholar of his generation.

Since Song Zhong held the position of the Five Classics (industry) of the Jingzhou Governor's Department and had the status of an official scholar, he did not recruit many disciples. The reason why Liu Jing was able to become his disciple was because of Lai Gong's blessing.

Song Zhong paid more attention to Liu Jing at first. Unfortunately, his predecessor did not like studying and indulged in fun all day long. After many investigations, Song Zhong finally gave up. Such a stubborn person who "cannot be carved from a rotten tree" would not have been able to survive if it were not for Lai Gong. Out of love, he had been kicked out of the door a long time ago. In order to be out of sight and out of mind, he ordered his disciple Pan Jun to teach him on his behalf. He never summoned him on weekdays and just treated him as his disciple.

However, it now seems that his eye for recognizing people is not as good as that of his disciple Pan Jun. Pan Jun seemed to have noticed Liu Jing's extraordinary qualities very early, so he was devoted to making friends with him. He even heard that he returned home and did not hesitate to sacrifice all his I lent him a volume of "Notes on the Book of Changes".

Song Zhong was furious about this. Who knows whether Liu Jing, who is naughty by nature, would leak his "Notes on Zhouyi" and ruin his life's hard work.

Liu Jing smiled and said, "I feel relieved to see that Sir is in good health." Then he met Lai Gong. In addition, there were two other people present.

Liu Biao introduced him: "Zhongda, I'm here to introduce you. This is Gu's farewell to Liu Shizong, and this is Gu's rule of Deng Zixiao."

Biejia, "The Han system and the governor are separate. Those who spread the word of the Zhou Dynasty to thousands of miles will be half of the governor." The status is the same as that of the county's meritorious officials. He can be said to be the most powerful official in the state governor's department.

Liu Shizong's name was Liu Xian, also known as Shizong. He was a native of Lingling County in the south of Jingnan. He was in his thirties and had a gentle appearance. He was erudite and had a strong memory, especially Huang Laoyan. He was very familiar with Han family allusions and had no reputation when it came to reputation. No less famous than Lai Gong, he is one of the few celebrities in Jingnan.

Compared with this person, Liu Jing from later generations was more familiar with his nephew Zhou Buyi. Zhou Buyi had extraordinary talents and had a friendly relationship with Cao Chong. The two were equally talented. Cao Cao once wanted to marry his daughter to him, but unexpectedly Zhou Buji refused. After Cao Chong's death, Cao Cao was jealous of Zhou Buji and sent an assassin to kill him despite Cao Pi's dissuasion.

In Zhizhong, "the Han system is in the middle, and he is in charge of all Cao's documents." He is the chief steward of the prefectural governor's department. If Biejia is equivalent to the meritorious officer of the county, then Zhizhong is equivalent to the chief clerk of the county. The two are one and the same. In Yi Nei, he can be called the governor and the right-hand man of Zhou Mu.

Deng Zixiao's name is Deng Xi, also known as Zixiao. It is said that he has some relationship with Liu Jing. He is a descendant of the Deng family in Nanyang, a younger brother of Deng You and an uncle of Deng Yuan.

He can be said to be the biggest contributor to Liu Jing's fame in Xiangyang. He obtained Liu Jing's copybook from Deng You and showed it to Handan Chun and Liang Hu, the great calligraphers who lived in Xiangyang. Because they were highly praised by them, Liu Jing Jing Dun became "famous all over the world overnight", and now scholars from both north and south of Xiangyang are proud to own his copybooks.

From this reception lineup, we can see how much Liu Biao valued him. Not to mention Song Zhong and Lai Gong, two people closely related to him, let alone Liu Xian, Zhizhong Deng Xi was in charge of the government affairs of a state. A big official was invited by Liu Biao to accompany him despite his busy schedule. There are probably only a handful of people in Jingzhou who can receive such treatment.

Liu Jing looked at ease. He bowed to Liu Xian and Deng Xi, and said, "I have met Liu Jun, Deng Jun." Don't worry, although Zhizhong is a big official in the state, he is the same as Liu Jing's princess register. , they are all just officials with a hundred stones, and there is no difference between them.

Liu Xian and Deng Xi looked at each other and smiled. Liu Xian was the first to speak: "Yesterday, as soon as Shi Shi entered the city, the general got the news. He was worried that Shi Shi would have to work hard from afar, so he didn't summon him. Early this morning, he asked us to put down our secular affairs and come here. Welcome everyone."

Deng Xi nodded and said: "That's right, Zhongda, I have been in the shogunate for several years, and I have never seen the general so eager." Deng Xi thought that Liu Jing was no better than outsiders, so he called him by his first name.

Liu Jing saluted Liu Biao again and said: "The general's treatment is so high, the subordinates feel quite ashamed."

Liu Biao stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Haha, others may not be worthy of it, but Zhongda definitely deserves it." After saying this, he couldn't help but pull Liu Jing into the room.

Liu Biao was sitting on the throne and couldn't wait to ask Liu Jingdao: "I heard that Zhongda is a man of great wisdom and has a good understanding of the general trend of the world. As early as when the emperor was still trapped in Chang'an, he expected that the emperor would return to Luoyang?"

Liu Jing said slowly: "The emperor is wise and wise, and has the quality of Zhou Cheng. However, in the past, when King Cheng was young, Duke Zhou was in front, Shi Yi was behind, Taigong was on the left, and Duke Zhao was on the right. When King Cheng was in charge of the government, four sages were there. He always thought about things carefully and never made mistakes. Unfortunately, the emperor fell into the hands of the Dong thief, and there was no sage like Zhou Gong to help him. Although the prince killed the Dong thief, he lost his integrity and eventually died in the Dong thief's remnant counterattack. , affecting the country.

All the generals in Liangzhou are mean-spirited, short-sighted, and have no far-sighted strategy. The emperor may be in trouble for a while, but he will eventually get out of trouble. This is not only expected by the officials, but also by the knowledgeable people in the world. It’s not a minority.”

Liu Biao shook his head and said: "Zhongda's words are too modest."

Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.

Liu Biao asked again: "Now that Cao Mengde has arrived in Luoyang and moved the capital to Xu County, what do you think of Zhongda?"

Liu Jinglue pondered and said: "Cao Mengde has established his capital in Xu County. It is bound to clear away threats from all sides. Nanyang is close to Yingchuan and will bear the brunt. The general must pay attention."

Liu Biao frowned secretly. This was what he was worried about. The two of them could be considered to be in the same camp because they had a common enemy, Yuan Shu. As news from Jiangdong continued to spread, Sun Ce had swept through several counties, and his rise was unstoppable. However, both sides had Revenge for killing his father, he really didn't want to face threats from two directions at the same time.
