Yu Zheng was a little cautious at first, because Liu Jing was no longer the childhood friend he was familiar with. However, although Liu Jing had changed tremendously, as if he was a different person, his friendship with him had not changed. He could not help but ask questions and show concern.
The preparation made Yu Zheng, who had been on the run for several months and suffered a lot, feel very warm in his heart.
Liu Jing held the pot to make tea, asked Yu Zheng to drive away the cold air, and said: "I went north to welcome my bride, and when I passed through Xiangyang, I planned to get together with everyone, but I learned that you had a conflict with a descendant of the Cai family, stabbed each other, and then fled..."
In his impression, Yu Zheng is not an impulsive and irritable reckless man. Although he is a knight-errant, his character is steady and heroic. He is the only one among them who can take action.
Yu Zhengwei said: "Originally it was just a trivial matter, but in recent years, the Cai family has become more powerful, and the children are arrogant and arrogant. I have repeatedly given in, but that dog still refuses to give up. It is really too much! I was furious.
Then he drew his sword and stabbed him..."
Liu Jing said: "When I was in Xiangyang, I asked someone to negotiate with Cai, but unfortunately Cai was very resentful and did not agree."
He didn't have the nerve to approach his teacher Song Zhong about this matter. Instead, he approached Lai Gong, who had a closer relationship with him. Unfortunately, neither Lai Gong nor himself were enough to make Cai let go of his hatred.
Yu Zheng was startled when he heard this, and then said worriedly: "The Cai family are mostly narrow-minded people. If Zhongda does this, it is very likely that the Cai family will hate him, and he will suffer an unreasonable disaster."
Liu Jingshi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If Cai makes you feel grudged, just feel grudged. Anyway, I won't go to Xiangyang again in the short term. What can Mr. Cai do to me?"
Yu Zheng was deeply moved when he heard this. Liu Jing was the only person in the world who dared to offend Cai for him. It was enough to have such a friend in his life.
Liu Jing said again: "By the way, Zixiang, why did you arrive in Changsha just now?"
"It's a long story," Yu Zhengxiang said: "The current governor of Nanjun is Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family. From Xiangyang to Jiangling, there are fortifications everywhere. I have been careful again and again, but I was still arrested near Dangyang.
The soldiers captured me. If I had not been lucky enough to find an opportunity to escape, my life would have been difficult to save. I hid in the countryside for two full months, and I did not dare to continue southward until the search was no longer strict."
It turned out that there were still such twists and turns. Liu Jing couldn't help but put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Zixiang, if you survive this catastrophe, you will definitely have good fortune in the future."
Yu Zheng said: "Zhongda, I have come to seek refuge with you. I don't ask for future blessings. A mouthful of food is enough."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed together.
After that, the two chatted for a while. It was just noon at this time, and Yu Zheng had been staying in the chief clerk's office. Liu Jing called Liu Liang and asked him to take Yu Zheng to the official residence to rest.
Liu Liang was recently brought in by him and is currently serving as Xiao Shi. Xiao Shi's position is very low, but he is Liu Jing's younger brother, and no one really dares to treat him as Xiao Shi.
After Yu Zheng left, Liu Jing concentrated on handling official affairs. When he was about to leave his post, Liu Jing took three days' leave and returned to the official residence. He and Yu Zheng each rode a horse back to Longqiu.
Back home, Liu Jing took Yu Zheng to pay homage to his stepmother and meet his wife. The two had been friends since they were young, and they met again after a long separation. They had endless things to talk about and continued talking until late at night. Liu Jing even ignored his wife Deng Yuan and met Yu Zheng.
Sleep with enough strength.
This was the case for two days in a row. On the third day, which was the last day of rest, Liu Jing asked Yu Zheng and said, "When Zixiang comes to me, I will naturally ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. However, Zixiang's ambition may not be limited to this."
Now, I wonder if you have any plans for the future? Whether it's joining the army, working as an official, or doing business, I can make arrangements for you."
As an official, it is easy to understand how to do business, but can you join the army? Yu Zheng knew that Liu Jing held the position of chief registrar of Changsha County and had great power, but he did not expect that his power was powerful enough to join the army.
When Yu Zheng heard from Liu Jing that he was currently in charge of a battalion of soldiers, he couldn't help but be shocked. Liu Jing was already the most powerful person in Changsha besides the prefect Zhang Xian.
Why does he have military power?
It seems that his ambition is not small!
Yu Zheng did not choose to enter the military camp because the other Sima camp had been established for more than half a year and there were still vacancies, so he did not want to start as a pawn.
He also gave up doing business. Even though doing business was just in name, he was actually leading a fleet. However, he was not a good person and did not want to drift on the water.
In the end, Yu Zheng chose to be an official, and Liu Jing gave him two choices, one was to join the market, and the other was to join the thief Cao. Yu Zheng chose the former without hesitation. He had not gotten along well with the thief Cao before, so he would definitely not like it.
I will go to the thieves, and the market is the place where Liu Jing rose to prominence. He has many old friends, so it is the most suitable place to go.
Although Yu Zheng was a foreigner, the market was not taken seriously by the county government. In the past, a desperado from Ma Zhou could become a soldier of the city. Liu Jing asked Yu Zheng to join the market with just a word.
After the arrangements for the expedition were completed, the first year of Jian'an was coming to an end, and the second year of Jian'an (197 AD) officially arrived.
Liu Jing's worries did not come to pass, and everything went as usual during the official meeting.
Last year, Liu Jing was ranked very high, but that was because everyone took his reputation into consideration and deliberately gave way to him.
Today, his status has become that of the Chief Registrar, and he stands in front of the imperial court, second only to the meritorious Cao Huanjie, with the facial features of Liu Pan and Li Yong, and in front of Li Yong, the governor of the central government.
After the bustling court meeting, Liu Jing immediately went back to his home with his brother Liu Pan and others to pay homage to their ancestors.
This time, Liu Jing brought his wife Deng Yuan with him to worship his ancestors. According to normal procedures, she should perform the "meeting ceremony in the temple" three months after the marriage.
The so-called "temple meeting ceremony" means that three months after the marriage, the man takes the bride to the ancestral temple to pay tribute to the ancestors, indicating that the woman has officially become a member of the family.
Liu Jing and Deng Yuan got married in early November, less than two months ago. However, Zhengdan is the day of the big sacrifice, so it is not necessary for Deng Yuan's temple meeting ceremony to be moved to Zhengdan.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Jing rested for a few days like last year, visited relatives and friends, received guests and friends, and did not return to the county government until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
As if the two sides had reached an agreement, Liu Biao's envoy also came to the county government that day.
At that time, Zhang Xianzheng was discussing the matter with Liu Jing, Huan Jie, and Liu Pan. When he received the report, he couldn't help but feel a "thump" in his heart.
For the first time, Liu Biao recruited Liu Jing to serve in the Jingzhou Prefectural History Department, and for the second time, he appointed Liu Jing as General Zhennan to serve as Zhonglang. The position of Zhonglang was already an official position worth six hundred shi.
What about the third time?
You don't need to think about it to know that it must be to recruit talented people. Could it be that Liu Biao is crazy?
Liu Jing is only nineteen years old this year. It is extremely rare in the world for him to promote filial piety and integrity before he reaches the age of qualifications. Does he dare to promote him as a talented person? Isn't he afraid that his subordinates will be dissatisfied?
Huan Jie and Liu Pan couldn't help but look at each other. Zhang Xian could guess that they were no exception. Liu Biao had really good intentions in order to poach Changsha!
Of all the people in the room, only Liu Jing remained calm.
