As the saying goes, it is rare for a person to live for seventy years, and Liu Bei fought all his life and suffered a lot of war injuries.

In the past 30 years, Liu Bei has been even more worried about his strength, and his energy has long been overdrawn, and now he is only fifty-four years old, and he has given birth to a full head of silver hair, and at the age of seventy, Liu Bei does not dare to have extravagant hopes.

And Cao Cao, who was in the Central Plains and was in charge of most of the prefectures and counties in the world, Liu Bei knew that the hegemony of reviving the Han Dynasty could not be completed in his lifetime.

It is even possible that when he leaves this world, Liu Chan may still be just a teenager.

As for Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, although they are miracle doctors, there are few diseases in the world that can solve their diseases, but they are powerless when it comes to the diseases of birth, old age, sickness and death.

What's more, they are not young anymore, Hua Tuo is nine in sixty this year, and Zhang Zhongjing is also four in sixty, Liu Bei knows that they may still be ahead of him.

Thinking of these, Liu Bei attaches great importance to the cultivation of future generations, which is the most important thing.

If Liu Chan is a mediocre person, Liu Bei will tutor him in his studies and help him become a talent, if Liu Chan is a smart person, Liu Bei will take him to get started in advance, establish prestige, and learn the way to govern the country.

lest he succeed to the throne at a young age in the future, lack of talent and virtue, and his rights will be hollowed out by others.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "You are tired from a day of traveling, go down and rest, I will go to assess your studies early tomorrow morning, you go back and prepare!" ”

"No!" Only then did Liu Chan get up and retreat.

Back in the backyard room, Liu Chan began to review his homework.

Liu Bei's assessment of his studies is related to whether he can follow Liu Bei to learn governance, and whether he can counsel military and political affairs in the future.

Even if Liu Chan was quite confident in himself, he didn't dare to be careless about it, and he studied until the evening before resting.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Bei came to Liu Chan's room.

Liu Bei did it in front of the case, and Liu Chan stood under the desk.

There are nearly dozens of major books on the table.

Liu Bei pointed to the books on the table and asked Liu Chan, "Are these books all you have studied in the past two years?" ”

Liu Chan arched his hand and said: "These are all studied by children, all of them are commonly used scripture books and military books, in addition, there are some miscellaneous studies that are out of the way, and children can't use them if they want to, so they don't take them." ”

Liu Bei looked at the books on the table, read it, nodded and said: "Emperor Gaozu once said: In the midst of the strategy, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as the ovary." Town the country, care for the people, give food without endless food, I am not as good as Xiao He. Even an army of millions, the battle will be won, the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin. These three people are all outstanding people, I can use them, so I take the world.

The same is true for the father, strategizing, governing the country is not as good as Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, and not as good as Yun Chang in terms of leading the army, but the father can lead these people, relying on being able to use people, and will use people.

For princes, they need to have self-knowledge, know people, and make good use of people! In this way, the Dragon Imperial Palace! ”

Seeing Liu Bei dictating the emperor's mental technique, Liu Chan remembered it in his heart, and said solemnly: "The child remembers it in his heart!" ”

Liu Bei continued: "The Warring States period has many favors, is rich in five cars, and is very knowledgeable, and these books have been replaced with bamboo slips, and there are no less than a dozen cars. You have learned so many books on scripture and military at such a young age, that when your father was as old as you, he did not read more than one hundred and one of your books.

If you can apply what you have learned, you will be able to use them for a lifetime, and you only need to dabble in them a little. Those who are knowledgeable among the ancient emperors are often mediocre kings! What you need to learn is the way to recognize people, employ people, manage government, govern the country, and check and balance. ”

"No!"

"The military advisor said in the letter, it was you who dissuaded him from appointing Shiren, and later Shiren colluded with Jiangdong, and you also discovered his conspiracy, and Lin Xiao, who can be taken by you for your own use, shows that you can know people and use people, which is very good, but you must continue to be diligent and not arrogant!"

Liu Chan said solemnly: "The child doesn't dare to relax for a moment!" ”

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, now my father will take the exam for your studies!" ”

Liu Bei said, then took out a book on the table and began to assess Liu Chan.

Liu Chan has already memorized these books, Liu Bei took out one casually, selected passages for Liu Chan to recite, Liu Chan also memorized it backwards, and the interpretation of the scriptures was also reasonable, and some of them were novel and unique, so that Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.

After sampling more than a dozen books in a row, Liu Chan answered them all fluently, without the slightest mistake.

Putting down the last book, Liu Bei was extremely satisfied, and said: "Okay, I really learned everything, and even the art of war is like a fluent answer, not bad, not bad!" ”

Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can the child follow his father to learn governance?" ”

"It's not enough, there's one last test, you come with me!" Liu Bei shook his head and walked out of the hall with Liu Chan.

Walking through several corridors, Liu Bei took Liu Chan to his study.

The servant at the door arched his hand and said, "Lord, several gentlemen have been waiting outside the hall for a long time, do you want them to come in?" ”

Liu Bei nodded: "Pass them in!" ”

After that, Liu Bei pulled Liu Chan into the room and asked Liu Chan to sit down beside him.

After a while, several people came to the study.

Everyone arched their hands and said: "I've seen the lord and the son!" ”

"You don't have to be polite, please take a seat!" Liu Bei nodded and raised his hand to let everyone sit down.

Liu Chan got up and saluted, and then sat down again.

There were nine people in total.

There are Zhuge Liang, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong on Jingzhou's side.

There are six people on the Yizhou side, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Li Yan, Dong He, and Liu Ba.

However, from the root cause, among these people, only Zhang Song and Huang Quan really belong to Yizhou.

Fa Zheng is a native of Guanzhong, while Li Yan, Dong He, and Liu Ba are all from Jingzhou, they went to Yizhou when the world was in chaos, they are not native to Yizhou, and belong to the Dongzhou faction.

Before Liu Bei entered Sichuan, there were many displaced people in Yizhou who poured into Yizhou, such as Guanzhong and Nanyang, which bordered Yizhou, when the world was in turmoil, the people fled into Yizhou in order to avoid trouble, Liu Zhang's father and son, they selected the strong among these people, and formed the Dongzhou soldiers, among which talented people also became officials in Yizhou, and these people were Dongzhou faction.

Now Yizhou is divided into these three factions, Jingxiang faction, Dongzhou faction, and Yizhou faction.

The Jingzhou faction was headed by Liu Bei, the leader and ruler of Yizhou.

The Yizhou faction is dominated by Zhang Song and Huang Quan, who are native to Yizhou.

The Dongzhou faction was dominated by Fa Zheng, Li Yan, Dong He and others.

Liu Bei saw everyone sitting down, and said to everyone: "Summoning you here is to discuss important matters!" ”

Everyone arched their hands and said, "Please make it clear to the lord!" ”

Liu Bei muttered: "Now that I am in charge of Yizhou, I need to plan a major political strategy, since ancient times, governing the country, inseparable from the word law, you think, I am in Yizhou to implement moral government, the law is relaxed, or reformulate the law, apply strict law?" ”
