Since Liu Bei has come to vote. He must always be assigned an official position. And this position cannot be too low. Otherwise, it may chill the hearts of the world's scholars. Of course Liu Xin would not be so stupid to arrange a position of real power for him. But he couldn't give him a imaginary title that only paid for his salary and didn't have to work. The title of this literature is Liu Xin's contemplation. A position tailored specifically for Liu Bei.
Literature is engaged. As the name suggests. It is the official in charge of world literature affairs. Under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Etiquette. Liu Bei didn't read well since childhood. He is different from Cao Cao. It can be said that there is no achievement in literature. Let him be in charge of literature is to use the layman to manage the insider.
After all, Liu Bei had been a county lieutenant for several years. He also worked as a pastoralist in Xuzhou for a period of time. Coupled with his unfathomable city. If you let him manage other affairs. Maybe he will take the opportunity to make something happen. But literature is different. Since ancient times, there has been no number one. Wu Wu is second. There is no certain degree of true talents. It is difficult for those literati to admire. Moreover. Xiucai rebelled. Ten years will not be achieved. Even if Liu Bei can impress these literati. It is also impossible to set off from a big storm.
There is another point that allows Liu Xin to rest assured. Cai Yong, his old father-in-law's official book of ritual ministry, is a family. Enjoy a high reputation in the literary world. Covered by his old man. Liu Bei will never make his head. In fact, there is another point that Liu Xin didn't know. He "plagiarized" a few poems and the "Shadow Room Inscription". Has allowed him to gain a certain prestige among the literati. It is hard for Liu Bei to reckon with it anyway.
Liu Xin's "good intentions". Liu Bei naturally saw it clearly. but. Liu Bei was excited. And even claimed to be thankful. Declared that he must carry forward Dahan's literary career. It seems to be very satisfied with this appointment. Liu Xin was a little uncertain. But this is the end of the matter. He had to go.
A day later. Liu Xin once again brought Diao Chan and Lu Qiling to Qiao's house. Liu Xin personally handed over a letter of appointment to Qiaoyuan. He was appointed as Dahan's first civil supervisor. And Diao Chan brought many gifts to Qiao Liang and Qiao Wan sisters. And invited them to have time to play in Xiangyang. Lu Qiling also swept away the depression last time. Played with the bridge sisters. Although she is not as beautiful as the sisters. But a dance has opened everyone's eyes. Also figured out a return to the limelight.
Qiaoyuan was not as hypocritical as last time. Accepted the letter of appointment swiftly. These days. Qiao's shops have opened for business one after another. Qiaoyuan himself took to the street and went around a few times. Sure enough, the situation was quite different from when Yuan Shu had just occupied Lujiang.
then. After Yuan Shu occupied Lujiang. His soldiers looted the city. Even after a long time. These soldiers went to various shops in the city. I often eat for nothing. Don't pay a copper plate. However, Liu Xin's soldiers did not harass the people. In addition to normal patrols and duty. They spend most of their time in the barracks. Even if you go to the street to buy some items, you will pay according to the price. There has never been a looting thing.
on the other hand. In addition to the Qiao family, there are 100 acres of fertile land in the countryside. Most of the income depends on the shops in the city. If Liu Xin can manage to be clear and bright. It is also very good for the business of the bridge family. Therefore, he gladly assumed the role of supervisor.
The affairs here have been handled. Liu Xin can finally set off to return to Xiangyang. It was just getting bright. Everyone has gathered in front of the Prefect's Mansion. There are five carriages parked in front of the door. The front one is the special carriage.
This time. Lu Qiling did not pester Liu Xin again. Followed Diaochan and Yan Rui into the carriage. He also waved to Liu Xin. Looks very excited. It seems that Lujiang's impression of her is not very good. The little girl still prefers Xiangyang.
Liu Xin also waved. Turning around, he was about to walk towards his big white horse. Suddenly saw the little fat man Liu Bang running over. I also want to board Diaochan and their carriage.
Since being locked up for a day in confinement. Liu Bang is obviously much more honest. Of course. Even if he wants to be honest, there is no way. Liu Xin sent someone to confine him to a small courtyard. It's just a tiny bit of a big place around. He can't do anything.
Saw Liu Bang was going to lift the car curtain. Liu Xin's face sank. He shouted: "Stop. Who let you get in the car."
Liu Bang saw Lu Qiling get on the carriage. Just followed in the car. Hear Liu Xin's anger. Had to walk toward the second carriage angrily. While walking. While looking at Liu Xin with his eyes. I was puzzled.
Don't think Liu Bang is just a twelve-year-old boy. But he also sat in the position of Ju Chaohou for a full ten years. No other ability. The ability to have fun is first-rate. You can tell at a glance. Inside these five carriages. Every carriage. That is, the carriage in which Diao Chan and the others rode is the most luxurious.
Liu Bang now knows. That little girl is just Liu Xin's righteous daughter. But he is Liu Xin's "son". Still the "eldest son". Now that the little girl named Lu can get on the first carriage. Then he is more qualified to ride in that carriage. However, Liu Xin's rage was provoked. Liu Bang couldn't figure it out. Why does his "daddy" love the righteous daughter more.
Just when Liu Bang wanted to climb into the second carriage. I heard Liu Xin's roar again: "Who asked you to ride in a car. Ride by yourself."
Except for the special carriage that Diao Chan and the others rode in. There are four carriages left. One of Guan Yu's family members Cao Hui and Du Xiuniang. One of Zhang Liao’s family members Mi Zhen and Gan Mei. The remaining two carriages were prepared by Liu Xin for Jushou and Mi Zhu. Although Jushou and Mi Zhu can also ride horses. But this time it was a long march. In order to take care of these two scribes. Liu Xin arranged a carriage for each of them.
Liu Xin never considered preparing a carriage for Liu Bang from beginning to end. He has realized the question of who will be his future heir. For the time being, a better solution could not be found. He can only behave fiercely towards Liu Bang as much as possible. The emperor has no family affairs. The State Reserve has a relationship with the country. It is related to the future of the country. He has a fierce attitude towards Liu Bang. It will definitely have a more or less impact on the civil and military.
I heard Liu Xin let him ride a horse. Liu Bang said with a bitter face, "Go back to father. Children can't ride horses."
"Can't ride a horse." Liu Xin smiled suddenly. Raised the whip in his hand and said. "Man. How can he not ride a horse? I can ride and ride. I don't know how to ride and ride. Come here. Bring a horse. Let him learn now."
Liu Xin's smile this time came from the heart. Because of Liu Bang's cowardly performance at Lujiang Chengtou. Many civil and military men, including Jushou, Zhang Fei, etc., disdain him very much. It's just because of Liu Xin's face. I didn't ridicule him in public. Now I learned that Liu Bang could not even ride a horse. I am afraid that his image in Wenwu's mind will drop a little bitterly. Because these cronies, civil and military all know. Don't talk about Liu Yu and Ma Fan. Even the young Liu Pi, Bian Zhang, and Cai Yi are able to ride a horse. As long as Liu Bang is looked down upon by these civil and military men. In the future, if Liu Xin doesn't want to pass his position to him. The resistance will definitely be less.
A maroon horse was brought over. Liu Bang tremblingly walked closer. After trying several times, I couldn't climb up. Suddenly a person came out from the crowd. Flew onto the horse. He took Liu Bang's hand again. Drag Liu Bang up. Let him sit in front of him. Then he arched his hand towards Liu Xin. Said: "Enlighten the lord. The subordinates are willing to escort the eldest son all the way back to Xiangyang. And they guarantee that the eldest son can learn to ride a horse within half a month. Please allow the lord's permission.
Liu Bang saw that his plight was solved. Look up and take a closer look. Can't help but surprise: "My uncle. It turned out to be you."
That day Liu Bei quietly got Liu Bang down the city. Because he was busy escaping. Liu Bang's impression of Liu Bei is not too deep. So I didn't recognize him at first glance. But Liu Bei's looks are too characteristic. Shoulder ears. Drop your hands over your knees. It's almost like a gibbon. So Liu Bang remembered him immediately. Can't help but be overjoyed.
When Liu Bei walked out of the crowd. Liu Xin noticed him. But Liu Xin did not stop drinking. But to see what Liu Bei wants to do. I heard that Liu Bei was going to escort Liu Bang back to Xiangyang. Also teach Liu Bang riding skills. A thought suddenly flashed in Liu Xin's mind. Is Liu Bei's conspiracy related to Liu Bang
Liu Xin buried her doubts deeply in her heart. There was a slight smile on his face. Nodded and said, "That's good. Then there is Mr. Lao Xuande."
At this time. The family members of Zhang Liao and Guan Yu also came out. One after another boarded the carriage. These four beautiful women have something to do with Liu Bei. Gan Mei is his concubine. Du Xiuniang is his lover. Mi Zhen is the woman he wants to marry. Cao Hui is the woman who wants to marry him. Now these four women each have their own destination. But he became solitary.
Liu Bei watched these four women get on the carriage one after another. Especially when I saw Du Xiuniang. He suddenly understood something. The reason why Guan Yu broke with him. I'm afraid there is a great relationship with this woman. Liu Bei both regrets and hates. But in the eyes of others. But his face was calm. It seemed that these women had nothing to do with him at all.
Liu Xin looked at Liu Bei coldly. The more calm he appeared. The more it made Liu Xin feel suspicious. but. Liu Xin is not worried. Now Liu Bei has neither soldiers. There is no right. Not even the necessary funds. Could it be that just by controlling a Liu Bang, you can set off a big wave. The whip in Liu Xin's hand pointed towards Xiangyang. He whispered: "Go."
The whole team was escorted by five hundred flying tiger guards. Slowly left Lujiang City. Although there are not many guards. Liu Xin was not worried about any danger. Accompanied by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, eight fierce generals who will participate in the advanced training class. There is also Xu Chu who is loyal and loyal. Anyone who doesn't open his eyes dared to stroke his tiger's whiskers.
Liu Xin still inherited his usual style. Do not disturb the local government. Do not harass the local people. Eat dry food at noon. Sleep in a tent at night.
Just when camping that night. Jushou found an opportunity to come to Liu Xin. Cautiously asked: "Excuse me, the lord. How do I arrange for the son of Liu Bang."
Liu Xin said without hesitation: "Let him be a Chang Lehou."
