When Liu Bei and a group of henchmen were discussing in the mansion, Yang Biao's mansion kept being visited. Both sides are worried. The imperial court represented by Yang Biao, since he came to Qingzhou, found that everything here in Qingzhou was almost completely different from other places. And they were also excluded from the Qingzhou system and couldn't get involved at all. This is not a good sign. No matter what the future of the Han will be, there is no place for them in this world.

In Yang Biao's mansion, Zhou Zhong, Shi Sun Rui, Zhang Xi, Deng Quan, Zhu Zhan and other ministers were all present. These people here are either among the three princes or among the nine kings. All of them have noble status. Now he is worried.

They have no enmity with Liu Bei, and before they came to Qingzhou, they even admired and admired Liu Bei very much. But after coming to Qingzhou, these people are incompatible with the Qingzhou system. Basically, I can't intervene in everything, I can't speak. To put it mildly, even recommending individuals is very difficult. What kind of imperial examination is being held here in Qingzhou, isn't this nonsense?

Liu Bei let go of his actions in Qingzhou, but it made the ministers of the court very uncomfortable. They have been up and down for decades, and they represent the interests of countless people behind them. Liu Bei is now a general and a scholar, and he has the final say on all major events in the world, but he doesn't have to be so "domineering", right?

At this time, the three princes and nine ministers were not honorary titles like later generations, but they were real consuls. Because the three dukes of the Eastern Han Dynasty often recorded the same Shangshu affairs. For example, Yang Biao and Zhang Xi, as Taiwei and Sikong, recorded Shangshu at the same time. It is true that Liu Bei is the leader of political affairs, but they also have the right to speak. In today's court discussion, they didn't get a single shortage on their side, so they naturally didn't like it in their hearts.

The two positions of Youzhou Thorn Shi and Liaodong Taishou, they do have opportunities, but Yang Biao and others, although they are selfish, still pay more attention to the overall situation. They felt that Youzhou and Liaodong were both on the border, and after being tossed by Dong Zhuo and the generals of Liangzhou, they really couldn't come up with people with experience in the borderlands. These two places may enter a state of war at any time, what if they use non-human beings and miss Liu Bei's major event? The three princes and nine kings can be competent, but they can't be let go, there is no reason not to say, even if they are willing to go, Liu Bei will not be willing.

There was a vacancy in Xuzhou, and they wanted to fight, but Liu Bei refused. In Liu Bei's opinion, since you are afraid of the cold and bitter in the border area, you should not worry about Xuzhou. In fact, this is still not mentally prepared on both sides. When the imperial court and Qingzhou's unique system meet, there will inevitably be a fierce collision, and then they will slowly integrate. Of course, this can be a lengthy process.

Liu Bei's side, after being silent for a while, it was Xun Yu who took the lead in speaking: "The lord, the princes of the court, are all loyal and upright, and their morals are respectful. Now disputes have arisen, and suspicions have not arisen. The lord is as good as visiting Yang Gong, if he can borrow the power of the princes, Qingzhou is very fortunate, and the lord is very lucky! Xun Yu's voice was clear and powerful, penetrating Liu Bei's heart.

After Liu Bei listened, he was silent. But there was a thunderstorm in my heart. The imperial court came to Qingzhou, in addition to giving them super high treatment, did he still care? In my subconscious, did I already feel that the ministers of the court and the Son of Heaven were useless, after all, it was in their hands that the world became like this. Listening is clear, and partiality is dark. Why did you forget it? Where did the humble and gentle self who was able to Zhengmen Lixue go?

Over the years, he has made a decision in Qingzhou, and he has made a decision, and he dare not obey it. makes himself unconsciously proud and domineering. When the imperial court came to Qingzhou, did he subconsciously feel that the imperial court was here to divide power, so he unconsciously resisted and was prejudiced against them deep in his heart?

It is normal for gentlemen to be harmonious and different, and to have different political opinions, but have you "made peace" with them? Not necessarily. I believe that I and the ministers have something in common, that is, we both want to end this troubled world as soon as possible. Since the common ground is basic, I believe that small differences can be resolved slowly. The Qingzhou system that he represents can completely seek common ground while reserving differences with the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei suddenly understood thoroughly, and when he looked at Xun Yu again, he found that Xun Yu's bright eyes also seemed to have an expectant emotion in them. Liu Bei understood this, laughed, and said: "Wen Ruo, I will follow your words, and I will visit Taiwei Yang at night." ”

Yang Biao, born in Hongnong Yang, his great-grandfather Yang Zhen, grandfather Yang Bing, and father Yang Ci all served as Taiwei, and the family has studied and passed on "Ouyang Shangshu" for generations. Hongnong Yang and Runan Yuan are both world-famous families. When he arrived at Yang Biao, in September of the sixth year of Zhongping, the doctor of Taizhong visited Sikong, and in December of the same year, he was transferred to Situ; After being dismissed, in September of the third year of Chuping, he was worshiped as Sikong and recorded Shangshushi; In the first year of Xingping, he turned to Taiwei and recorded Shangshu.

After counting his career, Yang Biao also served as Shaofu, Taifu, Guangluxun, Weiwei, Dahonglu, Taichang and other positions, and he almost did the three princes and nine kings by himself. has the ability, conduct, background, and qualifications, such a "four haves" veteran of the Han Empire is naturally qualified to break his wrist with Liu Bei.

In Yang Biao's mansion, the ministers were gossiping, and they didn't discuss a result. After all, everyone's demands are different. Many people want to let Yang Biao come out, and Yang Biao's heart is as clear as a mirror. Now it is the trend of the times, and the imperial court is in Qingzhou, except for the name. Governance, popular support, financial power, and military, none of these things have an advantage, how can they compete with Liu Bei?

At today's court meeting, Liu Bei's attitude was very tough later, which was a very bad signal. At present, what he has to do is not to compete with Liu Bei for power and profit, but to make Liu Bei realize as soon as possible that the imperial court will not be his obstacle, at least not his biggest obstacle. The imperial court will only be his help Liu Bei. Only in this way will the courtiers not be excluded and marginalized in Qingzhou, and then disappear from the political arena in obscurity.

Liu Bei became famous as a young man, relying on cultural governance and martial arts, and laid a huge foundation in this troubled era, which is the age of high spirit and forge ahead. If he annoys him several times and makes him feel that the ministers of the court are an obstacle and a burden on his way forward, the Son of Heaven will naturally be fine, and then it will not be a matter of changing a few ministers?

It's a pity that those who can see this either pretend not to know, or pretend to be deaf and dumb. Yang Biao knew their mentality, they were betting that Liu Bei would not tear his face with them. Yang Biao and Lu Zhi became in-laws, and Lu Min was his son-in-law. What kind of person is Liu Bei, how can Yang Biao not know?

Liu Bei is gentle and elegant on the surface, but if he really starts, it will be thunderous. really annoyed Liu Bei, and it was not impossible for him to send everyone to see the first emperor together. So the ministers can gamble, but Yang Biao doesn't dare.

Yang Biao had a few perfunctory words with the ministers during the banquet, and everyone saw that Yang Biao was excited, looked at each other, and then dispersed as birds and beasts.

The sky is gradually turning dark, and the city of Qingzhou is already brightly lit. Yang Biao sighed, and when he saw that it was time for dinner, he ordered someone to prepare a meal. Suddenly, a doorman came to report that the general Liu Bei had come to visit.

Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, and then ordered: "Quickly wait for me to change my clothes, and open the middle door to greet the general." ”
