Chapter 118 Liu Biao

When Liu Jing commented on Liu Biao, there was a hint of reproach in his words. Both Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were taken aback. You must know that this is the capital of Xiangyang, and it can be said that Liu Biao's eyes and ears are everywhere. How dare he say it, he is so bold There is no end.

Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Jing was a man of conceit, and there were few princes in the world who could catch his eyes. His uncle Zhuge Xuan also privately called his speech "innocent and wild", and he lacked awe of the superiors, but he did not expect him to come to Xiangyang and remain the same , I didn't know how to restrain myself, so I persuaded him: "Zhongda, Xiangyang is no better than Changsha, you should always be careful in your words and deeds, and be careful of misfortunes coming out of your mouth."

Liu Jing humbly admitted: "What Kong Ming said was very true, I was the one who made a mistake."

Zhuge Liang shook his head secretly, wondering if he really listened.

It was late afternoon when Liu Jing returned, and the three of them were sitting in the room, drinking tea and talking freely, and the sky gradually darkened before they knew it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Jing simply suggested that the two of them stay here for the night. Zhuge Liang readily agreed, but Pang Tong politely refused on the grounds that he still had something to do at home.

Liu Jing didn't care too much either. The two met for the first time today, and their relationship was far from close. It's not surprising that he would refuse.

After sending Pang Tong away, Liu Jing sent someone to deliver a message to Zhuge's house. Afterwards, the two returned to the house and continued to talk freely.

The sight in the house was dim, so I lit the candles, and I drank tea and snacks when I was hungry. The two hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and they had endless topics to talk about. The man had just rested and fell asleep on the same couch.

Liu Jing sat on the boat for more than 20 days in a row, and he was exhausted both mentally and physically. However, when the sun rose the next day, he still woke up on time, and it took less than two and a half hours.

Zhuge Liang was in a dream at this time, Liu Jing didn't disturb him, and stayed on the bed twitching his hands and feet.

When he came back from washing, he found that Zhuge Liang had already got up and dressed neatly.

Liu Jing asked: "Kong Ming, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Zhuge Liang replied with a smile: "Is there any reason in the world that the master gets up and the guest continues to sleep soundly."

Liu Jing said with a smile: "I am full of energy, no matter how late I go to bed, I will always get up early."

After Zhuge Liang finished washing, Liu Jing took him to eat breakfast. Zhuge Liang knew Liu Jing's habit of eating three meals a day, so he was not surprised.

Originally, Liu Jing had already planned today's itinerary in his heart, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Before he could go out, he was blocked by a state official who came on behalf of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and invited him to meet at the state department.

Liu Jing was a little surprised. He knew that he would be summoned by Liu Biao when he came to Xiangyang this time, but he didn't expect Liu Biao to be so "urgent". He couldn't wait to send someone to invite him early the next morning.

Liu Jing and Zhuge Liang left for a while, and agreed to visit Zhuge Xuan at his home tomorrow, and then got on the state official's ox cart and rushed to the state department.

Because of the far-reaching influence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, coupled with the spread of modern entertainment, Liu Biao’s popularity is not low. Many people know that he was a prince during the Three Kingdoms period. Liu Jing is quite familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms. General.

However, these two titles are far from enough to describe him. Three years ago, Liu Biao was firmly established in Jingzhou and sent envoys to the court of Chang'an to pay tribute.

"General of Zhennan, Jingzhou Mu, named Wuhou, allowed to set up a long history, a Sima, and a Zhonglang, and had the power to open up a mansion and summon his subordinates. "Uncle"; he also sent Zuo Zhonglang to give Zhu Dan a false festival, and supervise the military affairs of the three prefectures of Jiao, Yang, and Yi."

In addition to its own Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, and Yizhou are nominally under its jurisdiction, and these four states include the entire southern part of the Han Empire.

This is why Liu Biao refused to recognize Liu Zhang as the new Yizhou Shepherd after the death of Liu Yan, Yizhou Shepherd, and sent Liu He, the other driver, to lure Shu generals Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Gan Ning and others to rebel against Liu Zhang. Eligibility to join Yizhou.

Then this year, because of his meritorious service in repairing the Luoyang palace and subsidizing money and food, the emperor "thought that the Zhou family, the wing of Marquis Shen Bofu, was given the gift of riding a horse Xuanyan Chixi in a chariot."

The nine orders of the Shanggong, the obedience to Yanmian, and the old Chijia, so far, Liu Biao has already received the rank of the princes and kings of Jiuxi. , Sima, engaged in Zhonglang, Kaifu Bizhao, Yiru Sangong, the governor of the three prefectures of Jiao, Yang, and Yi, and the southeast of Jiyi."

Anyone should bow their heads in front of him, even if he is compared with the so-called "Uncle Emperor" of the Romance, it is far from enough.

In this regard, the clan of the Han Dynasty has an incomparable advantage. In the future, what Cao Cao tried so hard to want, the emperor gave Liu Biao easily.

It's a pity that Liu Biao finally failed the emperor and the Han Dynasty...

Liu Biao didn't know that Liu Jing had disrespect in his heart, so in order to show enough importance, he went out to greet Liu Jing himself at the moment before Liu Jing arrived.

As soon as Liu Biao moved, other people in the room couldn't continue to sit still, and they all followed Liu Biao out of the room, including Liu Jing's nominal teacher, Song Zhong and Lai Gong who were engaged in the Five Classics.

Although Liu Jing's face turned pale, he didn't panic. He stepped forward quickly and said calmly, "I pay respects to the general. The general is not only the governor of the state, but also an elder. Such kindness really makes the officials fearful. "

Liu Jing is seven feet seven inches tall, and he stands out among the crowd, but compared to Liu Biao, he is not enough. Liu Biao was more than eight feet tall when he was young. Eight feet, his appearance is gentle and strong, different from ordinary people, with a fluttering beard hanging on his chest, he has the demeanor of an elder.

Liu Biao was very satisfied when he saw Liu Jing's high crown and leather shoes, wearing a complimenting coat, and his demeanor and temperament. He said with a smile, "Zhongda is the crown of Jingnan scholars. How can we win the hearts of Jingnan scholars and people?"

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know who said the 'Crown of Jingnan Scholars', but I don't think it's happy to hear it, but it's rather harsh. There are so many talented people in Jingnan like crucian carp crossing the river? As far as I know, there is Duke Huan in Changsha, Pan Chengming in Wuling, and Liu Zichu in Lingling, all of them are talented people, no less than me."

"Zhongda, you are too modest." Liu Biao smiled kindly.

These three people are all outstanding in Jingnan, how can Liu Biao not know.Pan Jun and Pan Chengming are currently working in the prefectural department, and Duke Huan Yihuan is the younger brother of Changsha Gong Cao Huanjie. He and his brother became famous in Changsha when they were fifteen or sixteen years old. Unfortunately, both of his brothers served under Zhang Xian.

As for Liu Ba and Liu Zichu, his father, Liu Xiang, was the prefect of Jiangxia and General Dangkou, and was killed by the people of Nanyang. Liu Biao also disliked him very much. In the past few years, Liu Ba's reputation has become more and more popular. Liu Biao deeply regretted it and repeatedly confiscated it, but Liu Ba dismissed it and never paid attention to it.
