Xun Yu, whose name is Wenruo, was born in the sixth year of Yanxi, two years younger than Liu Bei. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThis child has been famous in the county since he was a child, of course, it may have something to do with his family background. However, later he used his life's performance to prove the accuracy of the comment "Wang Zuozhicai".

It is no exaggeration to say that Xun Yu is the first hero of Lao Cao's unification of the north! The most important thing is that the group of people he later recommended to Cao Cao: Guo Jia, Xun You, Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan, etc., all of them are all great talents. Either a minister or a top strategist. It can be said that Xun Yu did this, so that Liu Bei in later history couldn't recruit a more powerful strategist at all, until Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong came out, but when did that happen? The two of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks were not born until the Guanghe period, and if they were to be useful, it would take twenty years to say it. Xun Yu's recommendation is equivalent to creating a talent fault for Liu Bei for more than 20 years. Thinking about Liu Bei's career in the first twenty years of history, it is simply a tragic history of running away. Vote for Sun Zhan, Vote for Yuan Shao, Vote for Tao Qian, Vote for Cao Cao, Vote for Liu Biao...... Fortunately, there are still two 10,000-strong enemies who will not give up, otherwise it would be better to die. I seem to be very tough in the history books, I am simply a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, Liu Bei thought secretly.

At this time, Xun Yu was still a teenager, and he should be a good hookup. Liu Bei began to use his brains, should he go to Yingchuan and stew the Xun family's uncle and nephew? (Note, Xun Yu is Xun Yu's nephew) went to Yingchuan for a period of time, and just went home for the New Year.

Just when Liu Bei was about to move, a letter came from his hometown. The letter was vague, only saying that he should return quickly. Liu Bei was shocked and didn't know what was going on at home. He hurriedly dragged Liu Ke, hurriedly said leave to Zheng Xuan, and then said a few words to Lu Min and others, and hurried all the way north.

Waiting for Liu Bei and Liu Ke to run back to Lousang unkempt, they found that everything was normal in Lousang, and nothing major had happened? Liu Bei returned home, but when he saw that his uncle and aunt were there, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, where is my mother!" ”

Without waiting for Liu Gong to answer, he rushed into his mother's room and shouted, "A-Niang! Auntie! ”

After a while, a weak voice came from the couch: "My son is back?" What are you shouting nonsense, such an adult, I don't know how to be stable at all. ”

Knowing that his mother was fine, Liu Bei couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his heart returned to his stomach. He hurriedly threw himself down in front of the couch and bowed his head: "A-Niang, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, what can I do. Your uncle was so reckless that he called you back without saying a word to me, ahem. ”

At this time, Liu Bei found that his mother's face was pale, there was a hot towel on her forehead, and she was weak when she spoke, which was obviously a sign of extreme weakness. couldn't help but worry: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Have you ever seen a doctor? ”

Mother Liu's eyes stayed on her son's face for a few seconds, and then she said with difficulty: "I'm fine, since my son is back, everything will be discussed with your uncle." As he spoke, he closed his eyes, and after a while, two lines of tears were blurred.

Liu Bei was confused, in his memory, except for the time when his father died, no matter how difficult the family was before, it was when he sold his wealth to treat his father's illness, and he never saw his mother shed a tear. Thinking about being able to force my mother to this, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter. I wanted to ask again, but when I saw that my mother was so weak, I put out my thoughts, bowed a few more times silently, and quietly exited the room to find Liu Gong.

Liu Bei found Liu Gong full of concern: "Third uncle, what's wrong with my mother?" What happened? ”

Liu Gong sighed: "When my brother was alive in the past, he helped you set up a family affair, and a while ago, my sister-in-law saw that you and the woman were almost at the age of marriage, so she asked someone to ask, but they regretted the marriage for no reason." The sister-in-law asked someone to ask why she didn't believe what she said, and they gossiped a lot, and the words were not very good. All of a sudden, I your mother. You also know your mother's personality, alas. I and the clan sent people to theorize, but your father had a verbal marriage contract with the family at that time, and there was no marriage certificate or employment, so he was helpless. Your mother is sick, and she can only summon you back urgently, you are not small, you make up your mind about this matter, and I will help you with the clan......" Liu Gong still has a layer of meaning, that is, his sister-in-law has always been in poor health, in case her sister-in-law can't hold it and doesn't call Liu Bei back, it won't be good if she can't see her last time.

Liu Bei was furious when he heard this, when he was studying with his teacher in the past, he also vaguely heard his mother say that he had a marriage contract, but he didn't ask in detail. Now that the other party has broken the contract for no reason, and he is still angry with his mother, it is simply unbearable. However, it is still necessary to understand the specific situation thoroughly before making a plan, and then make a decision.

It turned out that Liu Hong should be opened by the county and entered Zhuo County as an official. His father Liu Xiong was also a Qianshi official, and with the help of Liu Xiong's connections, he also mixed quite well. Not to mention the stability of the position, it is gradually valued by the boss Taishou. It can be described as a spring breeze and full of spirit. Although the income is no more than 100 stones, the hidden income of a member of the civil service class has not run away like various benefits. At that time, Liu Bei's family was not bad, Liu Xiong was gone, and Liu Hong even helped his younger brother Liu Gong become a family, otherwise, he would rely on Liu Gong, how to get together the dowry?

Now that Liu Hong's career is thriving, some people have begun to make up their minds. At a banquet, someone proposed to marry Liu Hong and promise marriage. This person Liu Hong recognized, Gan Qi, the assistant in the county. Ganqi's family has a daughter, and his son Liu Bei is two years old, and he is willing to make Liu Bei his wife, and the two surnames will marry from then on, and the good relationship will be forever. Liu Hong thought about it, the status of the two families is about the same, and Gan Qi is a handsome guy, and his daughter's appearance is not much worse, and he will definitely not wronged his son Liu Bei in the future. So Liu Hong agreed. At that time, there were many colleagues present, and they came forward to congratulate them when they saw this, and said that when they got married, they must invite all the colleagues present. Maybe because there were many people present to witness, Liu Hong thought that this matter was ironclad, and he never thought that the Gan family would regret it, they are all scholars, if you regret it, can you afford to lose this person? Because my children are still young, I want to wait for the children to be older, and then change the marriage letter and get hired. So Liu Hong wanted to slow down.

Liu Hong also told his wife about this after he went home, but Liu Bei was still young at the time, so he must have no impression at all. With this relationship, since then, the two families have been moving around frequently during the New Year's holidays. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, a year later, Liu Hong fell into the water and was frightened, he couldn't afford to be seriously ill, and he lasted for more than half a year, and finally left for the west. And the Liu family is even more for Liu Hong, almost with four walls. Since then, the two families have broken off contact.

This time, it was also Liu Bei's mother, Mrs. Liu, who remembered that Liu Bei would be seventeen years old on New Year's Eve, and Gan's daughter would be fifteen years old on New Year's Eve. They are all about to start a family, so they asked someone to discuss whether to choose a date to do the children's marriage. It also saves adults from worrying.

As a result, the Gan family suddenly turned around and refused to admit it. It is said that this is a joke at the banquet that year, and it is not counted. If I ask again, I don't have anything to say, saying that I want to cling to the Gan family and the like. directly made Liu's mother angry. She really couldn't imagine how there could be such untrustworthy people in this world, how could she not count the countless colleagues of her deceased husband who were present to witness at that time? Repenting of marriage for no reason, people who don't know the truth must think that it is my son Liu Bei's bad character, how is this good? After Liu Hong died, she was already exhausted, and her health has not been very good, but now she fell ill all of a sudden under the anger of her heart.

Then Liu Gong was alarmed, and Liu Gong was furious when he knew the situation, so he asked his wife to take care of his sister-in-law at home and went to inquire by himself. It didn't take long for the results to come out, Gan Qi is now the order of a county, the official of a thousand stones. The identity is different, so naturally he can't look down on Liu Hong's dilapidated family. Where is Liu Gong willing to give up, at this time, the fear of officials has not reached the level of later generations, and he will not bow down when he sees him or he is so excited that he can't speak. There are not a few people who kill and curse officials. He led a group of Liu Jiaerlang to theorize, but he was not good at words, and he couldn't scold, so he led people to beat the slaves of the Gan family, and then came back in disgrace. As a result, the Gan family didn't know whether they were afraid of Liu Gong's ruthlessness or knew that they were wrong, and they didn't report it to the officials.

After coming back, I discussed with Liu Yuanqi, yes, let's call Liu Bei back, his aunt is sick in bed and doesn't say anything, he still has to come back and ask his idea about this matter. The two of them never thought in their hearts that this matter would be over.

Here is a simple talk about the marriage system in the Han Dynasty, first of all, it is necessary to be the right person. The parties to the marriage are almost similar in terms of political or economic status. The surname of a wealthy family in a certain area is married; Families that are also relatives marry each other; Families with similar official positions marry each other, and so on. For political status, such as the intermarriage between the Guo family and the Dou family, the daughter of the emperor is generally allowed to the princes, and the adult male surname of the imperial family generally marries the daughter of the court officials or princes. The husband of Princess Guantao is Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu, the husband of Princess Yang Nobunaga is Pingyang Marquis Cao Shou, the princess of Emperor Wu is the daughter of Guannei Marquis Li Kang, and the concubine of Qinghe Xiaowang Liu Qing is the granddaughter of Muping Marquis Gengshu.

And ordinary officials marry each other is even more common, the former general's mansion Sima Yang Chang married the daughter of Taishi Ling Sima Qian; There are countless examples in the history books of the later Dingwei captain Lu Xun marrying the daughter of the captured general Sun Ce.

The second is a marriage for political purposes. Wang Mang took his daughter as the queen, Cao Cao also took his daughter as the queen, Cao Cao also married his niece to Sun Ce's brother Sun Kuang, and married Sun Ce's brother Sun Ben's daughter and Zhang Xiu's daughter for his son, all for political purposes.

These things at the top seem too far away, but in fact, they are a reflection of the whole social atmosphere at this time. In the Han Dynasty, it was normal to dislike the poor and love the rich, and it was also normal for the family to be right. Zhu Maichen's family was poor, and his wife disliked it, so he divorced and remarried, which is clearly recorded in history. This kind of atmosphere became more and more serious from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the distinction between scholars and scholars became more and more severe. From the analysis of the data of the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu, it can be seen that there are more than 80 princes and large and small forces, of which the wealthy family accounts for 60 families, and only more than 20 people rise in Buyi. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the level of gate valves has gradually become stricter, so that in the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, the giant lords of the family have been dragged to the sky one by one, and even the royal family is not very eye-catching, and only intermarried with their own families. Cui, Lu, Zheng, Wang, Wei, Pei, Yang, Du and other big clans did this. Later, someone revised the clan chronicles and listed the Cui family as the first, which caused Li Shimin to be furious and furious, which is another story. It is not mentioned here.

Having said all this, in fact, although public opinion at this time did not widely support hierarchical marriage, hierarchical marriage was already a de facto existence. Therefore, Liu Bei was disliked without knowing it. But it's one thing to understand, it's another thing to happen to yourself. Liu Bei was about to be angry.
