Accompanied by Huangmen, Liu Bei arrived in front of the East Palace Gate.
The emperor ordered him to work with the prince on official affairs. Liu Bei initially wondered whether the emperor could not trust him and wanted the prince to supervise his behavior. After all, the official affairs involved future talents, but
, after he took a brief look at the allocation of officials in Pandong Palace, his idea changed. The emperor wanted to sharpen the East Palace.
The Emperor is really partial to His Highness the Crown Prince. The officials of the East Palace are all the best in scientific achievements. Even if they are thrown into the temple, they can still achieve success. Now these people are all by the side of the Crown Prince. This can be regarded as a blessing to Liu Bei.
It's a good thing. After all, Liu Bei has been busy with official affairs in various places. However, overall, it is not going well, and it is better in the surrounding areas close to the temple.
With this group of people coming to help, I am afraid that the official affairs will go much smoother, but the prince will not share the merits. The political achievements that the ministers seek will have no effect on the prince, even on the officials under his command.
, long after they chose to come to the East Palace, everything had been decided, and they would not be promoted or reused in the near future.
Their fate is closely linked to the prince's. When the prince ascends the throne, they will rise to the throne. Perhaps the positions of the three public officials and nine ministers in the country will be taken by them.
As soon as Liu Bei arrived in front of the mansion, he saw a young man guarding the mansion. He knew this young man. His name was Cao Pi, and he was Cao Gong's second son. When he saw Liu Bei, the man hurriedly came over and greeted him.
He bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Meet Uncle Liu!" Liu Bei was stunned, and quickly helped him up and said, "Do you know me, Mr. Cao?"
"My uncle is my father's best friend. He often comes to my house and talks with me all night long. Of course I recognize him. My father also often tells me that when I see my uncle in the future, I should treat him as an elder and there must be no mistake...
." Cao Pi said with a smile.
"Hahaha..." Liu Bei laughed and said: "I haven't seen Meng De for a long time, and I miss you very much. Seeing you today is like meeting an old friend, and I am very happy..." he said
, took off the sword from his waist, handed it to Cao Pi's hand, and said: "You worship me as an elder, and I will treat you as a junior. Come on, take it!"
Cao Pi shook his head and said, "I dare not bear it."
"It's a gift from an elder. You can't refuse it. Just take it. Meng De is not in the temple. If anything happens to you in the future, come and find me!" Liu Bei said and put the sword in Cao Pi's hand. Cao Pi then thanked him.
, Liu Bei asked: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?" Cao Pi nodded and said: "You are in the palace. The Taifu came early in the morning to give lectures to everyone, and they are all listening..."
Liu Bei was stunned, Grand Tutor Yuan Shu? Isn't this guy seriously ill and lying on the bed unable to move? Why do you come here in person now to give lectures to everyone? Seeing Liu Bei's doubts, Cao Pi said with a smile: "
My uncle didn't know that Duke Yuan was seriously ill, so His Highness the Crown Prince invited a famous doctor named Hua Tuo. This man's wonderful rejuvenation skills cured Duke Yuan's illness!"
"Oh? Great kindness!" Liu Bei nodded and said, "Then please report it to me..."
Cao Pi nodded and asked Liu Bei to wait here for the time being. He quickly went in to report. Liu Bei just waited here for a moment and saw Liu Mastiff leading Cao Pi out. He walked to Liu Bei and bowed to Liu Bei. Liu Bei quickly bowed back.
, Liu Mastiff led Liu Bei into the East Palace, where Yuan Shu was sitting in the courtyard, giving lectures and solving doubts for everyone.
Yuan Shu sat in the middle, with his clothes open and high-spirited. He looked around and explained Gongyang Studies in a loud voice. This was not only explaining the classics, he also combined the current temple form with Gongyang Studies and explained them together.
Talking about the New Deal, he integrated the New Deal into Gongyang's Three Worlds Studies and said: "The so-called Shengping means the prosperity of the country. The prosperity of the country means the national treasury is full, the powerful are rich, the people have enough food, and the despicable people are not hungry.
kill?"
"In this life, for the national treasury to be sufficient... Only when the national treasury is full can we implement benevolent government and govern the world..."
"The second one is the powerful and powerful people from the big families. These people look unbearable and try to oppress the people, but this is not the case. All the wise and learned people in the world come from this place. Jia Wenhe and Xizhou vigorously support the powerful and powerful people. Why?
?Because of his great strength, he can cultivate the land, gather the people as farmers, and easily acquire tens of millions of land, but the people cannot..."
"The third one is the people of the world... What I am talking about is not the rich people, but actually the people who do not eat meat. Their wealth will be when the world is most prosperous. When the people are rich and their families have enough food, the world will be peaceful.
The population will be prosperous and political affairs can be carried out..."
"The New Dealers wanted to make the people rich, and they thought well, but they acted too hastily..."
When he said this, not to mention young people like Zhou Yu and Lu Su, even Liu Bei's eyes widened. He sat aside and listened carefully. After experiencing all kinds of battles, life and death, Yuan Shu learned from Gongyang.
His understanding and interpretation has simply reached a whole new level. Liu Bei doesn't know what He Zi's level is, but just relying on these theories that Yuan Shu has figured out, he will be honored as Yuan Zi in a hundred years!
Yuan Shu was still waving his hands, and said loudly and enthusiastically: "The powerful ones are so powerful. You can look around. Among the textiles and handicrafts, only the powerful ones can produce hundreds of thousands of silk weaving machines and provide a large number of foreign trade products. They can make the next generation
Son, unemployed people like rangers have errands to make a living. Of course, it is right to restrict the powerful to make the common people rich. However, we cannot completely eliminate the powerful, we only need to impose restrictions..."
"Cao Cao's strategy is like sharing food. He distributes more food to the people and gives the powerful's share. However, in my opinion, it is better to give more food so that everyone can eat, and the people will naturally
I can eat more..."
When Yuan Shu finished speaking, he took a cup from the side and took a sip of tea. Liu Bei walked up to Yuan Shu and bowed to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu quickly returned his greetings.
"Gong Yuan is a great talent!! Gong Yuan is a great virtue!!" Liu Bei said.
Yuan Shu smiled, shook his head, and said somewhat arrogantly: "Mr. Liu praised me too much. I just made some mixed talk and haven't sorted it out..." Liu Bei shook his head and said: "I heard that Mr. Yuan gave lectures, which is better than mine.
After studying hard for ten years, I just listened so fascinated that I have many questions. I wonder if I can ask you?" Yuan Shu nodded, and the two started chatting. Yuan Shu thought that Liu Bei was just flattering casually, but he did not expect that he asked a lot of questions.
Issues that I have never paid attention to.
If we continue to increase the number of talented people among the common people, how to prevent these talented people from the common people from eventually becoming local tycoons?
Yuan Shu also became serious about many questions, and the two discussed them for a long time.
Everyone listened attentively. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were both deep in thought. It turned out that they had been studying hard in Taixue, but they didn't pay much attention to these rumored great scholars, especially people like Zheng Xuan and Zhao Qi.
Such pure Confucian scholars do not think that the so-called classics can be of any use. However, now, they suddenly discovered that perhaps the classics are not useless after all.
In any era, the most outstanding idea is needed to lead everyone forward. This kind of idea may be seen by later generations as extremely stupid and extremely unreasonable, but the role he played at that time cannot be denied.
, which cannot be ignored.
The more Yuan Shu and Liu Bei chatted, the more surprised he became. He couldn't help but ask: "Who did Xuande study under? When did he start studying Confucian classics?" Liu Bei said with a smile: "My master is really Situ Gong...
"
"The disciple of Manan County?!" Yuan Shu exclaimed.
Ma Rong was a great Confucian comparable to He Xiu. If He Xiu hadn't personally taught two generations of emperors, Ma Rong's reputation might have been even higher than that of He Xiu. His disciples are all shining brightly in the world today.
After the great scholar Yuan Shu heard about Liu Bei's inheritance, he put away some of his arrogance and chatted with Liu Bei calmly and happily.
"Oops!" Liu Bei exclaimed, and then said: "I had such a good time chatting with Mr. Yuan that I almost forgot something important..."
He looked at Liu Mastiff below and said quickly: "Your Highness, I came to you in accordance with the emperor's order. The emperor has ordered the officials of the East Palace to work with me to handle official affairs!"
He had just finished speaking, and Zhou Yu was overjoyed. These days, he was always depressed. He always felt that he was restricted here and had no room for development. He was older than the others and was more eager to make contributions. Most of the others were also
They were all like this. They looked at Liu Mastiff, who smiled and said, "I am willing to obey Mr. Liu's instructions."
Liu Bei repeatedly said that he did not dare, but Yuan Shu grabbed his hand and said, "Don't refuse. These guys look good, but in fact, they have never done anything big. They have cured one or two people."
County, I just killed a few enemies, look at the most handsome boy, his name is Zhou Yu, he has been depressed these past few days... he just wants to find something to do!"
When Yuan Shu said this, Zhou Yu felt a little embarrassed and at a loss.
"Hey, after a few battles, I can no longer control my temper. I have been fighting for decades, and thousands of thieves have died under my sword! Even so, I am not as good as you. I just happened to be a general.
He took it with him to show him how dangerous governance is!" Yuan Shu said.
Liu Bei didn't know what to say and coughed, but Zhou Yu's face turned red and he was a little embarrassed. Since he arrived at the East Palace, he has never looked down on his colleagues around him. These people who are more than ten years younger than him, under his
He seemed extremely immature. What's more, he himself had been fighting abroad for a long time, so he didn't think much of these people who stayed in the temple all day long and pointed fingers.
Yuan Shu looked at his face, laughed loudly, jumped down from the high platform, directly pulled out the sword from Lu Su's waist, and threw it towards Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu quickly stretched out his hand and caught the long sword.
Yuan Shu pulled out Sun Quan's sword and stepped forward. Liu Mastiff quickly stopped him and said: "Master, your body is not yet..."
"Step aside!"
Yuan Shu pushed Liu Mastiff away and rushed in front of Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu said: "I don't want to be with the elder..."
"Noisy!" Yuan Shu shouted, and slashed with his sword. In everyone's surprised eyes, the long sword hit Zhou Yu's hilt, and the long sword in Zhou Yu's hand was knocked to the ground. Yuan Shu said disdainfully: "
How do you fight when you can’t even hold a sword??”
Zhou Yu's face turned red even more. He pulled out the long sword from his waist and took the lead in attacking Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu turned sideways and easily dodged his chop. The sword hit Zhou Yu's hand horizontally. Zhou Yu felt pain but did not let go of the sword. Yuan Shu started a strong attack. He kept approaching Zhou Yu quickly, and Zhou Yu kept retreating. Then, the long swords in their hands struck each other. Under Yuan Shu's sword, Zhou Yu had almost no strength to fight back, and his clothes were constantly being cut off by Yuan Shu.
Until finally, the long sword in Yuan Shu's hand was pressed against Zhou Yu's neck.
Zhou Yu looked at Yuan Shu in front of him blankly, speechless.
Yuan Shu grinned.
"Boy, would you like to learn swordsmanship from me?"
"What kind of swordsmanship...?"
"Ordinary sword skills can defeat ten people, but they are not strong enough to defeat hundreds of people. However, I have sword skills that can defeat thousands or ten thousand people. Are you willing to learn it?"
