Because of the establishment of the Jianning Stone Classics, a literary style swept the world. The reputation of great Confucian scholars such as Cai Yong, He Xiu, and Zheng Xuan was at its peak. Students arrived in Luoyang one after another, wanting to worship Cai Yong as their teacher, and their studies were recognized by the court.
As for the orthodox Confucianism, Cai Yong did not agree to the requests of these scholars because he served in Taiyuan College. Moreover, the number of people in Taiyuan College was full and the scholars could not enter.
They went to He Xiu's mansion again and wanted to worship He Xiu, but He Xiu refused because he was too old and not suitable to accept any more disciples. The other great scholars, because they were from aristocratic families, were afraid of a large scale.
Accepting disciples would arouse the emperor's fear, so he naturally did not dare to accept them. Zheng Xuan was the only one who refused to accept anyone who came. Liangzhou happened to be short of grassroots officials, so these scholars came just in time.
Countless scholars flocked to Liangzhou and became disciples of Zheng Xuan, and became disciples of the great Confucian Ma Rong. Similar to this, there was Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi also wanted to accept disciples because of the lack of officials in Hezhou.
I think he himself was also a disciple of the great Confucian Ma Rong, and his reputation in the Youbin area was even greater than that of Zheng Xuan, so he attracted many scholars from Youzhou and Bingzhou to study there.
Youzhou, Zhuojun, Zhuoxian, Yiting, Lousangli
The young man rested his back comfortably against a huge mulberry tree, surrounded by a dozen teenagers. They all knelt and sat around. They looked at the young man leaning against the mulberry tree with some admiration. He said, "I have to think of something."
The best way is to break into Zhuoxian County, where there are many merchants and merchants, and there is plenty of oil and water..."
"Brother, although there are many of us, the Zhuoxian rangers are all adult men. We haven't even been crowned yet, and we can't defeat them. What can we do?" A young man asked doubtfully.
"Hey, if we could all get swords and dozens of long swords, they wouldn't dare to fight with us. It's just a pity..." The young man said with a frown. Among this group of teenagers, his age
He is not the biggest, but rather on the smaller side, but he has a strange appearance, with his hands above his knees, his ears slightly larger, and his face is handsome and resolute.
"How about we first get some money from the vendors in Lousangli, and then find a way to get a sword and fight into Zhuoxian County?"
A young man with a tiger head was at the front and asked with some confusion. When the young man heard this, he hit him on the forehead and cursed: "Lou Sangli is all our fellow villagers. You bastard, you still want to touch your own family."
?", the young man immediately lowered his head.
Many young people were discussing, and suddenly a young man shouted from a distance: "Brother, the clan mother is calling you!!"
The young man raised his head, glanced indifferently into the distance, spit out the straw in his mouth, and said to everyone: "I'm going back first, I will think of a way." Everyone stood up, bowed, and said goodbye.
Young man, the young man walked home leisurely. His surname was Liu Mingbei, and he still had no characters. He was a clan member of the Han Dynasty. His grandfather Liu Xiong was once promoted as Xiaolian, and he was appointed as Fanling of Dongjun. Unfortunately, his father Liu Hong
His early death caused the decline of his family business.
He and his biological mother depended on each other, but he was different from ordinary people since he was a child. There were many mulberry trees in his hometown. There was a mulberry tree on the fence in the southeast corner of his house, which was more than five feet high. From a distance, it looked like a car hood.
People thought that this tree did not look like a mortal thing, and thought that this family must have a noble person. When Liu Bei was a child, he and his children were playing under the tree. They pointed at the mulberry tree and said, "I will definitely ride in a carriage with a feather cover like this in the future."
"
The elders of the same clan were all shocked when they heard this sentence, and his uncle Liu Zijing warned him: "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise our family will be exterminated!"
As he grew up, he showed more abnormalities. Different from ordinary farm boys, he liked listening to music and fierce dogs and horses. He had been fooling around outside since he was a child. Because of his strong personality and courage, he also He is very close to his friends, so he has a group of companions who have followed him closely since he was a child. When he was a teenager, he had impressed most of the local rangers and became their leader.
When he got home, his mother was making some things and preparing to sell them. Liu Bei frowned and said with some displeasure: "Mom, didn't I give you a lot of money yesterday? Why do you still have to do this?" , the woman looked at him, a little disappointed in her eyes, and said: "Did you snatch that money from the merchants in Zhuo County?"
"What is robbery? We are responsible for protecting his safety from thieves. The money was donated by them!"
"Alang..." The woman looked a little sad and said, "I didn't teach you well. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, how could you do something that oppresses good people? Today's Holy Emperor is your generation. , it is your clan brother, the Holy Emperor, who implements benevolent government and governs the world. I used to sell these and charge heavy taxes, but now they have been reduced a lot. I will work hard in the future, and you and I, mother and son, will be able to live... .”
Liu Bei frowned and said nothing.
"Alang, if you are like this, how will I face your father in the future!" The woman said sadly, and Liu Bei had no choice but to persuade: "Mom, please stop crying, I will not be a ranger in the future. Don't do it, okay?" The woman knew in her heart that Liu Bei was just coaxing her, so she said helplessly: "Your uncle said that the great scholar Lu Zhi intends to teach disciples, and he wants to send Deran to study with him. Do you want to follow him? Go together?"
"Hezhou? It's too far away. I can't let you stay alone and study in a distant place. This is not in line with etiquette." Liu Bei said, and the woman advised her again: "You are already of an age to aspire to study. There are people from the same clan here." People take care of me, so you don’t have to worry. My uncle will help you study, and you don’t have to worry about money. My mother will return the money to your uncle in the future..."
Looking at his mother's gray hair, young Liu Bei sighed, closed his eyes, and thought for a long time before slowly lowering his head.
Seeing Liu Bei agree, the woman was indescribably happy. In fact, she had mentioned this matter many times. She did not want her children to hang around outside all day and fight with others. Her children were different from childhood. Ordinary people will definitely achieve great things in the future. No matter what, they must receive the best education so that they can become talents. Although Hezhou is far away, as long as they can make their children become talents, she will accept it.
As for money, as long as I work harder, I should be able to repay my uncle's money.
Liu Bei chatted with his mother for a while, then made an excuse and left the house. He walked towards his uncle's courtyard. Most of the people here had the same clan surname Liu. His uncle's home was not far away from him. Since his father died young, , his uncle from the same clan has always regarded him as his own child and has taken care of him since he was a child. The villagers also praised his uncle very much, and he slowly walked to the door of his uncle's house.
But he suddenly paused because he heard the quarrel inside.
"Hezhou is so far away. You just want Deran to go there. Why do you need to bring that Shuzi with you?"
"Do you know how much the journey will cost?"
"How much does it cost to become a disciple?"
"His uncle is Liu Zijing, not you. You are just his fellow clansman. Why are you doing this?"
"As a woman, what do you know? His father has been close to me since childhood. I regard him as my brother, and his children are my children!"
"He has been different from ordinary people since he was a child. Having this child in our clan is a blessing to our clan. You need to take care of these things!"
"Money is nothing. He is just like me having a son. Liu Zijing's family is poor. If I don't support him, will I just let him be a wanderer?"
Liu Bei stood at the door, quietly listening to the quarrel in the house, but did not speak. He stood like this for a long time, and then he bowed heavily to his uncle's house and whispered: "Uncle, I will definitely repay you with death for your kindness today." !”
