Liu Bei saw Zhao Qi's old tears, and his heart was deeply shocked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He has seen too many people scolding the court and the first emperor; I have also seen countless high-spirited scholars pointing out the country, and I can't wait to become an important minister of the Taiwan Cabinet and take charge of the government...... But this was the first time he had seen an old courtier, weeping in front of him for the future of the empire. This kind of impact made Liu Bei often think of it in the years to come.

Zhao Qi, who has experienced the prosperity of Yongyuan Zhilong, his mood is incomprehensible to Liu Bei and other "young people". In Zhao Qi's heart, the glory and majesty of the empire have always made him proud and proud. But who would have thought that sixty or seventy years later, the situation would be so critical? He was sad, disappointed, and even hated...... The literati are inherently sensual, not to mention that Zhao Qi is still an artist (painter), he received a cold reception from Yuan Shao before, and Zhao Qi had to endure it because of his royal life. But I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, you know, he is eighty-six years old this year, even Yuan Shao's father and his uncle saw Zhao Qi, and they had to call Brother Pi Qing obediently. Yuan Shao is good, although there is nothing rude on the surface, but the indifference of rejecting people thousands of miles away can be felt by a fool. When Zhao Qi arrived in Qingzhou, he saw that Liu Bei had governed Qingzhou in an orderly manner, and the people still remembered the imperial court, and their hearts were happy. As soon as he was courteous to Liu Bei, he suddenly felt the difference between Qingzhou and Jizhou. I thought of Qingzhou at this time, how similar it was to the prosperous weather he experienced when he was young...... As soon as this emotion was excited, the lovely old man burst into tears.

Fortunately, the old man has also been rolling in the political arena for decades, so he can naturally be free to retract and release. Liu Bei was embarrassed, so he saw that Zhao Qi quickly recovered his mood, and said with a smile: "It's old, it's a joke." ”

"The old man was ordered to leave Beijing this time, just to ask the princes to help. I don't know if Liu Yuanjun is willing to help? ”

Liu Bei said angrily: "It is natural to share worries for the king, how dare you disobey?" "Immediately called for Xun Yu and Jian Yong.

The long history and the main book are all here. Liu Bei said: "Wenruo, Xianhe, how much can the Qingzhou Mansion Treasury supply to Luoyang now?" ”

The two discussed, and Xun Yu said: "My lord, with the Qingzhou treasury, we can supply Luoyang with 5,000 stones, 1,000 horses of silk, and millions of money." If you want more, Qingzhou will not be able to operate. ”

Before Liu Bei could speak, Zhao Qi happily stroked his white beard next to him and said, "Enough, enough." "Compared to Yuan Shao's casually perfunctory 1,000 stone of grain, Qingzhou is simply too enough. Looking at Liu Bei again, Zhao Qi is even more pleasing to the eye. What a good guy. Powerful and faithful. In the world of this big man, it seems that it still has to rely on the clan. I heard rumors in the court before, saying that Liu Bei invited himself to lead troops to the west, because he wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven of Chang'an to stand on his own. It's just nonsense, it's nonsense. Liu Bei really has this heart, why did he give up the near and seek the farthest away, and ran all the way to Chang'an. Isn't there a son of heaven in Luoyang? It's not as troublesome as Chang'an...... When I went back, I had to talk to the Son of Heaven and let him not be deceived by the villain.

Zhao Qi was working on the draft, thinking about how to persuade the Son of Heaven after returning to Beijing. I saw Liu Bei open his mouth and said: "Duke Zhao, since Luoyang is ruined and the land is much withered, there is no way to support the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. Why don't I ask the Son of Heaven to welcome the imperial court to Qingzhou for a temporary stay? ”

Since the princes of the world are fighting against each other, then I might as well take the initiative to grasp the Son of Heaven and the court in my hands. Then serve the state to please the world. Anyway, if you don't do it yourself, someone will do it sooner or later. At that time, I will be passive. Look at how embarrassing it is to lay down Liaodong, and want to occupy it but the name is not justified. If the Son of Heaven is in Qingzhou, is there such a thing? At that time, Qingzhou and Liaodong will be the foundation, recuperate and recuperate, and accumulate money and grain. Then Liaodong and Qingzhou, the two armies came out together, and they were afraid that the princes of the world would not surrender? When the time comes, the world will be swept away, whether he will replace him, or be a powerful minister. You can calmly choose according to the situation. In history, it was Lao Cao who rescued the Son of Heaven who ran out of Chang'an, and then kidnapped the entire court. With the righteous name in his hands, he can take the initiative to beat people, but others can only be beaten passively. How cool is this! Now history is disturbed by itself, Chang'an and Luoyang, one west and one east, and the two emperors stand side by side. How things will play out in the future, only God knows. So Liu Bei knew that he had to hurry up and take the initiative. Otherwise, when the two fragrant dumplings will belong to someone else, he will only cry.

Zhao Qi listened, twisting his beard and pondering. That's right, why didn't the old man think of it? The Son of Heaven is trapped in Luoyang, and no one cares. Luoyang was so troubled by the puppet of Dong Thief that it was not completed, and the officials and wealthy families were either killed or abducted to Chang'an. The only fish that slipped through the net also escaped without a trace. The people have come back a little bit this time, but they all rely on these people to plant some fields, and they can't make ends meet. The most important thing is that the whole world knows that Luoyang is broken, so the caravans that used to be endless have all disappeared. The market of Luoyang is also deserted. This most prosperous place in the world has long lost the style of previous years...... Staying in Luoyang is also a nest, so it is better to come directly to Qingzhou. This place is well governed by Liu Bei, and it is peaceful. What's more important is that Liu Bei is a member of the Han clan and is loyal to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. Let Liu Bei and Qingzhou support the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, this is really a wonderful idea. Of course, Zhao Qi is a serious person, and it is impossible to agree to such an important matter. Then he said: "This matter is very good, but the old man is in his life, and he will go to Yan, Xu, Jing, and Yang in the near future." It is better for Liu Zhijun to write a good book and report it to Luoyang. When the Son of Heaven summoned his ministers to discuss, the old man should support him. ”

Liu Bei wasn't going to say anything more. Anyway, he should work hard, and he doesn't know if he can achieve the result he wants. The Son of Heaven in Luoyang should not have much of an opinion on him. However, judging from the news from Luoyang, the Queen Mother seemed to be a little unhappy with him. It shouldn't be. His own generals rescued the Queen Mother and the Emperor from the secret passage in the past, and saved them from Dong Zhuo's poisonous hands, not to mention this rescue for the time being. Why did the queen mother take the emperor to Yuan Shao as soon as she arrived at the sour date? Leave your own Han family clan and the minister who saved the car behind? Is it because he is afraid of the high merit and the master?

Liu Bei would never have imagined it. The reason why Empress Dowager He didn't like him. It's just that when he played it right several times, Liu Bei looked at the eyes of the Empress Dowager He, and his appreciation and heat were far more than awe and obedience. Empress Dowager He was ashamed and angry in her heart, only the first emperor in the world could look at her like this, and the boy dared to do this? So Empress Dowager He felt that Liu Bei was obedient on the surface, but in fact he was rebellious in his heart, not a pure minister. So he abandoned Liu Bei and went to Yuan Shao's camp.

If Liu Bei could know the inner thoughts of Empress Dowager He, he would definitely cry out for injustice. Empress Dowager He was originally outstanding, and then she was the queen in the deep palace, her mother was the world, pampered, not only well-maintained, but also had a sense of nobility in her gestures. He happened to be in his early thirties. Like this kind of beautiful and mature royal sister that is rare in later generations, how can Liu Bei have a reason to take a few more looks? Besides, his soul is different at this time, naturally he will not see the queen or the queen mother to be more docile and respectful, when he went to the court and saw the first emperor, his eyes never dodged, and he also looked directly at the past.

A few days later, Zhao Qi drove out of Qingzhou, and Liu Bei led the civil and military forces out of the suburbs of the city to send them off.

It's summer. The rainy season is coming. It rained heavily for more than ten days in a row. Liu Bei looked at the gloomy sky, and he didn't know when it would be clear. Look at the damp room. After three days of heavy rain, Liu Bei summoned his ministers and asked them to send orders everywhere to keep an order, so that they could pay attention to the flood disaster that could occur at any time. And there were many men in the city to patrol the city. Of course, the urban drainage system of this era still made Liu Bei a little amazed. I used to hear that the ancient drainage system was very advanced, but now I have finally seen it. Linzi City has been raining heavily for more than ten days, and except for a few low-lying areas in the city, the streets are clean. All the rainwater drained out of the city in an orderly manner, and flowed into other rivers along with the moat. The only thing Liu Bei has to worry about is the houses in the city. Brick and wood houses and even mud houses, which have fallen into disrepair for a long time, naturally cannot withstand the erosion of this torrential rain. Then there are the rivers in Qingzhou. After he came to Qingzhou, he didn't have time to inspect the rivers. The rain kept falling, and the river was swelling, but there was no place to burst the embankment. Fortunately, there was no bad news from the messengers who had been sold. And because of the good organization in the city, although the houses collapsed in several places, no one was injured. The owner of the house was transferred early.

I sat in the yazhong for a while, and saw that nothing happened. Liu Bei threw a book to Xun Yu, which was a recital of Huang Zhong as the Taishou of Liaodong to the imperial court. After all, Qingzhou has supported so many supplies in Luoyang, and if you change to Liaodong Taishou, you should have no opinion on the Son of Heaven. As for Youzhou, Liu Boan wants to oppose it, but he is afraid that he is powerless. He has repeatedly said that he will send someone to Liaodong to receive it, but he will not go himself, who is to blame? It's time to summon Yun Chang back. Liu Bei had this thought in his heart, but he smiled at Xun Yu and the others: "Wen Ruo, there is nothing to do left and right, just disperse." I'm back in the backyard. ”

Back in the backyard, looking at his mother, Jiuniang, Ke'er, and two sons and two daughters, Liu Bei felt warm in his heart. The two daughters were chattering, and when they saw Liu Bei, they ran over with cheers: "Father! Father! ”

Liu Bei took one by one, walked up to Lu Xun and Mayake, looked at the two sons in their arms, smiled happily, stretched out his index finger and played with the two dolls' faces, and said with a smile: "Good son, call Father!" Liu Jin and Liu Chen, two little dolls, looked at Liu Bei with black and shiny eyes, and they didn't know what they were humming. The little hands were also scribbling meaninglessly in the air.

Mrs. Liu, who was smiling next to her, scolded with a smile: "How can a doll who is only six or seven months old call you Father?" You know, you have to be more than a year old before you call your father. Now that her son is out, her daughter-in-law is filial, and she has two grandchildren and two granddaughters, Mrs. Liu's heart is gone, and when she talks about her deceased husband Liu Hong, she can also be calm and no longer grief.

It didn't take long for two pieces of news to arrive. Yuan Shao took advantage of the rain to attack the poisonous lair, fought for several days, and finally died in the poisonous battle, and the rest of the people descended and scattered. Yuan Shu took advantage of Yangzhou's assassination history Chen Wen was critically ill and brazenly invaded Yangzhou, and Chen Wen died of terror. Yuan Shu effortlessly occupied the entire territory of Yangzhou and led Yangzhou as a pastor.
