Chapter 119 Internal worries

After seeing the ceremony, Liu Jing and Liu Biao exchanged greetings, then immediately turned to Song Zhong, raised their sleeves, clasped fists and bowed, and said, "Disciple Liu Jing, pay my respects to you, sir."

Song Zhong is the teacher who carried the ceremony of Shuxiu and worshiped the eight scriptures in his predecessor. Even if Song Zhong didn't teach him for a day, it would not change the relationship between the two of them.

"Zhongda doesn't need to be too polite. Seeing that Zhongda has achieved something now, I am very pleased as a teacher, so I encourage you." Song Zhong looked at Liu Jing with a very complicated mood.

Song Zhongnian was about forty years old, nearly fifty years old, of medium stature, with a long and thin face, bright eyes, and a strong sense of elegance pervaded his whole body.He is a native of Nanyang County. He has a lot of annotations and his reputation is inferior to that of Zheng Xuan, but he is still a great Confucian of his generation.

Since Song Zhong was in charge of the Five Classics (profession) of the Jingzhou Governor's Department, he had the status of an official school, so he did not recruit many disciples. The reason why Liu Jing was able to worship under him was thanks to Lai Gong.

For Liu Jing, Song Zhong paid more attention to Liu Jing at first, but unfortunately his predecessor did not like to study and was addicted to playing all day long. After many investigations, Song Zhong finally gave up. Feelings, he had been expelled from the door wall long ago.In order to keep out of sight and out of mind, he asked his disciple Pan Jun to teach him on his behalf, and he never summoned him on weekdays, so he just pretended not to be his disciple.

But now it seems that his vision of knowing people is not as good as his disciple Pan Jun. Pan Jun seems to have seen Liu Jing's extraordinaryness very early, so he fell in love with Liu Jing and made friends with him. I lent him the volume "Zhouyi Zhu".

Song Zhong was furious because of this, who knows if Liu Jing, who is stubborn by nature, will leak his "Zhouyi Zhu" and destroy his life's hard work.

Liu Jing said with a smile: "Seeing that the master is in good health, I feel relieved." Then he greeted Lai Gong, besides that, there were two other people present.

Liu Biao introduced him: "Zhongda, I'm here to introduce you. This is the lonely don't drive Liu Shizong. This is the lonely Deng Zixiao in governance."

Don't drive, "the system of the Han Dynasty is different from the history of the governor. Those who have spread and spread thousands of miles in Zhou Dynasty will be half of the governors." The status is the same as that of the county's meritorious officials.

Liu Shizong's name is Liu Xian, and his style name is Shizong. He is from Lingling County in the south of Jing. He is in his thirties and has a gentle appearance. No less than Lai Gong, he is one of the few celebrities in Jingnan.

Compared with this person, Liu Jing from later generations is more familiar with his nephew Zhou Buyi. Zhou Buyi has extraordinary talents and has a friendly relationship with Cao Chong. The two talents are comparable. Cao Cao once wanted to marry his daughter to him, but unexpectedly But Zhou Buyi refused.After Cao Chong's death, Cao Cao was jealous of Zhou Buyi, and despite Cao Pi's dissuasion, he sent an assassin to kill him.

In Zhizhong, "the Han system is in the middle, and the masters are Cao documents." He is the chief steward of the State Governor's Department. Yi Nei can be called the right-hand man of the governor and state shepherd.

Deng Zixiao's name is Deng Xi, and his style name is Zixiao. Speaking of which, he has some relationship with Liu Jing. He is a descendant of the Deng family in Nanyang, a younger brother of Deng You's clan, and an uncle of Deng Yuan's clan.

Liu Jing was able to become famous in Xiangyang. He can be said to be the greatest hero. He got Liu Jing's copybook from Deng You and showed it to the great calligraphers Handan Chun and Liang Hu who lived in Xiangyang. Jing suddenly "became famous all over the world overnight", and now all scholars in the north and south of Xiangyang are proud of owning his copybooks.

From this reception lineup, it can be seen how much Liu Biao attaches great importance to him. Not to mention Song Zhong and Lai Gong who are closely related to him, let alone Liu Xian and Zhizhong Deng Xi are in charge of a state's government affairs The big official, even in his busy schedule, was invited by Liu Biao to accompany him. There are only a handful of people in Jingzhou who can receive this kind of treatment.

Liu Jing looked calm, saluted Liu Xian and Deng Xi, and said in his mouth: "I have seen Liu Jun and Deng Jun." , are just hundred stone officials, there is no difference between upper and lower.

Liu Xian and Deng Xi looked at each other and smiled. Liu Xian was the first to say: "Yesterday, just as I entered the city, the general got the news. He didn't summon me because he was worried that I would have to travel far and hard. This morning, I was asked to put aside my mundane duties and come here. Welcome to your step."

Deng Xi nodded and said: "That's right, Zhong Da, I have been in the shogunate for several years, and I have never seen a general so urgent." Deng Xi thought that he was no different from Liu Jing, so he called him directly.

Liu Jing saluted Liu Biao again, and said, "The general's treatment is so high, the officials feel quite ashamed."

Liu Biao stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Haha, others may not be able to do it, but Zhongda definitely deserves it." Having said that, he dragged Liu Jing into the room involuntarily.

Liu Biao was sitting on the throne, so he couldn't wait to ask Liu Jing, "Gu heard that Zhong Da is a superhuman man with a great understanding of the general situation of the world. As early as when the emperor was still guarding Chang'an, he expected that the emperor would return to Luoyang?"

Liu Jing said slowly: "The son of heaven is wise and wise, and he has the qualities of Zhou Cheng. However, in the past when King Cheng was young, Duke Zhou was in front, Duke Shi Yi was behind, Duke Tai was on the left, and Duke Zhao was on the right. King Cheng was in charge of the government, and the four sages were there It is a pity that the emperor fell into the hands of Dong thief, and there was no sage assistant like Duke Zhou. Although the prince killed Dong thief, he lost his integrity and died in the counterattack of Dong thief's remnants , involving the country.

The generals in Liangzhou are all contemptuous, short-sighted, and have no long-term strategy. The emperor may suffer for a while, but he will eventually get out of trouble.This point is not only expected by the officials, but there are not a few people with insight in the world who can predict it. "

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "Zhongda's words are too modest."

Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.

Liu Biao asked again: "Now that Cao Mengde welcomes him to Luoyang and moves his capital to Xu County, what do you think of Zhongda?"

Liu Jinglue pondered for a while and said: "Cao Mengde established Xu County as his capital, and it is bound to wipe out the threats around him. Nanyang is close to Yingchuan, and bears the brunt of it. The general must be on the lookout."

Liu Biao frowned secretly. This was exactly what he was worried about. The two could be regarded as the same camp because they had a common enemy, Yuan Shu.As the news from Jiangdong continued to spread, Sun Ce had already swept through several counties, and his rise was unstoppable. Both sides had revenge for killing his father. He really didn't want to face threats from two directions at the same time.

Therefore, he needed to unify Jingzhou as soon as possible and eradicate internal troubles, so he stopped going around in circles and said clearly: ""Zuo Zhuan" says: 'Since he is not a saint, there must be internal troubles in the outer peace. Shen, the state government's decree does not apply to Jiangnan, how can Zhongda teach me?"
