But he said that when Liu Yin asked him why he wanted to discuss military strategy with Ma Su in order to find a way out of the Prime Minister's Palace, Zheng Pu couldn't help but sigh even though he was already prepared.
It’s not that I don’t want to answer.
Rather, he felt that he would encounter such problems one after another in the future.
The reason is still that he is a scholar from Yizhou.
In particular, he also had a father who was stubborn and did not serve as the first emperor, so he attracted much attention.
Nowadays, most Yizhou wealthy people adopt a very mild and negative attitude towards the resistance of the Shu Han regime, and are unwilling to "serve wholeheartedly and share weal and woe".
Liu Yin, for example, is the most striking example.
The Liu family in Chengdu is an aristocratic surname, and there are many educated people in the family, but now only Liu has become an official.
The other nephews, such as Liu Yin, who is over thirty years old, would rather wander around the mountains and hunt all day long than serve as officials.
One of the reasons is that these Yizhou wealthy families are not optimistic about the future of Shu Han.
The world is divided into three parts. After the Battle of Yiling, the Shu Han Dynasty declined! How easy is it to conquer the Central Plains with only one state?
In other words, it is nothing more than a dream!
They don't want to put their entire family's wealth, life and future on the Shu Han court, which has little hope!
Let one or two nephews in the family serve as officials to show to the court that they have no rebellious intentions and behave in a respectful manner, which is enough to preserve the wealth of the family!
Moreover, judging from the inheritance of the family for hundreds of years, they have no shortage of options.
For example, this is the case for the Lu family of Wu County in Soochow.
The previous head of the Lu family in Wu County was Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang. Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to besiege the city for two years. As a result, more than a hundred members of the Lu family were killed and more than half of them were injured. The two families were called blood feuds!
However, after Sun Ce took control of Jiangdong, the Lu family in Wu County remained unparalleled.
Lu Ji, the son of Lu Kang, became an official of Sun Quan, and Lu Xun, the daughter of his wife Sun Ce, now became the governor of Sun Wu!
In other words, as long as these Yizhou wealthy families have the heritage of farming and studying, no matter who takes control of Yizhou, they will have opportunities to rise again. There is no need to pay too much in the Shu Han court where there is no hope, so as not to damage the foundation of the family.
.
Another reason is that they have seen the essence clearly.
From the time when Liu Zhang and his son separatized Yizhou to when the First Lord established Shu, no matter who was in charge, in a time of great ambition and great strife, he would not be stingy in suppressing them who had a large amount of land and property.
If that's the case, why bother serving you wholeheartedly?
The Shifang Zheng family was also like this in the eyes of people at the time.
Obviously having an elder brother Zheng Yan with an excellent official reputation is enough to protect the family's wealth and family status, why does Zheng Pu still want to become an official?
Isn't it possible that we are not worried about the demise of the Shu Han regime in the future, and the Zheng family in Shifang will be classified as die loyal to the Shu Han, and will be deliberately suppressed by the new rulers, resulting in the decline of the family lintel?
In fact, Zheng Pu has already thought about this issue.
As the soul of later generations, he did not regain the loyalty of the Han Dynasty, because the struggle between Cao Wei, Shu Han and Sun Wu was a civil war between heroes from all walks of life, with no right or wrong.
Just like the "Unjust War in the Spring and Autumn Period".
Zheng Pu wanted to serve Shu Han only because of Zhuge Liang.
No matter how future generations think about Zhuge Liang's merits and demerits, let others comment. In his personal eyes, one thing is certain: Zhuge Liang has the backbone of a son of the Han family!
Once you are entrusted with a job, you will devote your whole life to it!
Know it’s impossible but do it!
Compared with the materialistic desires of later generations, how many people still have the integrity to sacrifice their lives?!
Isn't the most precious inheritance of China's five thousand years of civilization the backbone and spirit of the nation that stands firm in the sky?
I am lucky enough to follow such a sage and build the great backbone of China. Wouldn’t it be possible to smile even in death?
Why judge heroes by their success or failure?!
Naturally, this answer was given to him by Zheng Pu.
Regarding Liu Yin's doubts, it is necessary to re-examine the draft.
"Brother Xiuran, let me try to tell you what you mean by this question."
Zheng Pu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked at him solemnly, his eyes blazing, "It's three points today, and Yizhou is exhausted. Judging from the world's theory, I have inherited the Zheng family for many years. Since my brother has become an official, I should guard the family.
Karma is the top priority. Is this an explanation?"
Although Zheng Pu's words were a taboo to discuss the success or failure of the imperial court, Liu Yin did not avoid it.
Instead, he had a look of silence on his face, nodded heavily, and responded loudly, "Of course!"
Therefore, Zheng Pu also smiled and did not answer in a hurry.
Instead, he stood up, walked to the window curtain, raised his head with his hands behind his hands, and looked at the bright moon in the night. He did not forget to invite him, "Brother Xiuran, look at the stars."
"good!"
Liu Yin was a little confused about this, but he didn't refuse.
In response, he stood up and stood side by side, looking up at the stars quietly.
The midsummer night is especially sultry.
Looking straight at the rolling mountains and fields, as far as the eye can see, the bright moon bursts like mercury and fills the world.
Looking up, I saw the sparse stars, randomly scattered on the night sky, struggling to flicker and shine.
And Zheng Pu's ethereal voice, which seems to be mumbling to himself, is also like a dream.
"The bright moon and stars remain unchanged forever."
"However, among all living beings, through the ages, only a few have left their names in the world."
"Yizhou is exhausted today, so what?"
"Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, so what?"
"The sea is changing, and it is even more important for men of our generation to show their true qualities!"
"When you are born in troubled times, you should carry a three-foot green spear, drive out a hundred thousand soldiers, and achieve great deeds that will last forever!"
"An Neng looks forward and backward, but only acts as a farmer to get rich and has evil plans!"
"Brother Xiuran, although I am not talented, I don't want to be mediocre! I am determined to learn what I have learned, but I want to leave a name in history!"
Having said this, Zheng Pu turned his head and looked at Liu Yin, "If you succeed, you will be happy! If you fail, there will be no regrets!"
The words were impassioned and resounding.
Liu Yin was also stunned and speechless for a moment.
Before he asked Zheng Pu, he had thought about how Zheng Pu would answer and what reasons he would give.
However, the answer he thought to himself was completely different from the answer given by Zheng Pu!
Even the opposite!
He never thought that the seemingly frail and gentle young man in front of him would have such a passionate ambition!
The planners of ancient and modern times think of themselves first and others second.
Why is this Zheng family son so different from evil?
However, the many confusions in his heart did not hinder him, and his breathing gradually became heavier.
I feel a heat wave in my chest and abdomen, like a raging fire burning, and my desire is overflowing.
"When you are born in troubled times, you should carry a three-foot green spear, drive out a hundred thousand soldiers, and achieve great deeds that will last forever!"
"I just want to leave a name in history!"
This is also the future he has longed for since he was young!
It's a pity that as we grow older, our energy has been wasted away by worldly advantages and disadvantages!
It has become that I am willing to be mediocre and just want to live in poverty!
Time flies so fast, I have become a commoner, and I don’t even know it!
How sad!
Also hateful ears!
"Huh~~~~~~~~"
He exhaled a heavy breath.
Liu Yin turned sideways and looked at Zheng Pu. After slowly taking a few steps back, he suddenly bowed and bowed. His voice sounded like thunder, "Zijin's words are deafening and deafening! You can only hear it, and you realize that you have wasted years without knowing it! You should thank me."
