Shu Chen

Chapter 23
But he said, but when Liu Yin asked him why he wanted to discuss military plans with Ma Su and plan the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zheng Pu couldn't help but sigh even though he was already prepared.

Not wanting to answer.

Rather, he felt that such a problem would be encountered one after another in the future.

The reason is still that he is a scholar from Yizhou.

In particular, he also has an unswerving father who is not a former emperor, so he has attracted much attention.

Today, most of the Yizhou nobles take a very mild and passive attitude to resist the Shuhan regime, and are unwilling to "serve their lives wholeheartedly and share weal and woe".

Liu Yin, for example, is the most obvious example.

The Liu clan in Chengdu is the surname of an aristocratic family, and there are many scholars in the clan, but now Liu is the only one who holds office.

The rest of the sons and nephews, such as Liu Yin, are over thirty years old, but they would rather wander the mountains and hunt for pleasure all day long, rather than become officials.

One of the reasons is because these Yizhou nobles are not optimistic about the future of Shuhan.

One-third of the world, after the Battle of Yiling, the Shu Han was the most in decline!With the land of one state, it is easier said than done to conquer the Central Plains?

In other words, it is tantamount to a fool's dream!

They don't want to put their family's life and future on the hopeless Shuhan court!
Let one or two sons and nephews in the family go into office and show to the court that they have no retaliation and be respectful and obedient, which is enough to preserve the wealth of the family!
Moreover, in terms of the heritage of the family for hundreds of years, they have no shortage of ways to go.

For example, the Lu clan of Wu Jun in Soochow was like this.

The upper head of the Lu clan in Wu County was Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang.After being besieged and attacked by Yuan Shu's Sun Ce for two years, more than a hundred members of the Lu clan were killed or injured in the battle. The two can be called blood feuds!
However, after Sun Ce entered Jiangdong, the Lu clan in Wu County was still the same.

Lu Kang's son Lu Ji became an official to Sun Quan, and Lu Xun was the daughter of his wife Sun Ce, and now she has become the Grand Governor of Sun Wu!

That is to say, as long as these Yizhou nobles have the heritage of farming and reading their family, no matter who enters Yizhou, they will have the opportunity to rise again.There is no need to pay too much in the Shuhan court where there is no hope, so as not to damage the foundation of the family.

Another reason is that they see the essence clearly.

From Liu Zhang's father and son's separatist occupation of Yizhou to the First Sovereign Dingshu, no matter who is in power, in a world of great strife where ambition is rampant, they will not be stingy to suppress them who are sitting on a lot of land and assets.

If that's the case, why bother to serve wholeheartedly?

The Shifang Zheng family was also like this in the eyes of the people of the time.

Obviously he has an elder brother Zheng Yan with excellent official reputation, which is enough to protect the family's wealth and lintel. Why does Zheng Pu still go into office?
Don't you worry about the demise of the Shuhan regime in the future, the Zheng family of Shifang will be listed as a die-hard loyalist of Shuhan, and will be deliberately suppressed by the new rulers, resulting in the decline of the family lintel?

In fact, Zheng Pu has long thought about this issue.

As the soul of later generations, he did not have the loyalty to restore the Han family, because the battle between Cao Wei, Shu Han and Sun Wu was a civil war between heroes from all walks of life, and there was no right or wrong.

Just like the "Spring and Autumn War without Justice".

Zheng Pu wanted to serve Shu Han, but it was because of Zhuge Liang.

Regardless of whether later generations are right or wrong about Zhuge Liang's merits or demerits, whether he is Zang or not, let others comment.In his own eyes, one thing is certain: Zhuge Liang has the backbone of the Han family!
Once entrusted to the orphan, I will do my best for the rest of my life!
Knowing it can't be done!
Compared with the lust for materialism in later generations, how many people still have the integrity to sacrifice themselves? !
Isn't the most precious inheritance of China's 5000-year civilization the indomitable backbone and spirit of the nation?

I am fortunate to be with such a sage and build the backbone of China together. Wouldn't it be possible to smile at Jiuquan even in death!

Why judge heroes with success or failure? !
Naturally, this answer was given to him by Zheng Pu.

As for Liu Yin's doubts, he had to replay the draft.

"Brother Xiuran's question, let me try to explain it."

Zheng Pu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then he was solemn and his eyes were burning, "It's three points today, and Yizhou is exhausted. Based on the theory of the world, my Shifang Zheng family has been inherited for many years. Since my brother has left office, I will guard the home Karma comes first. Is this the solution?"

Although Zheng Pu's words were taboo to discuss the success or failure of the imperial court, Liu Yin did not avoid it.

Instead, his face was numb, he nodded heavily, and responded loudly, "Of course!"

Therefore, Zheng Pu also grinned and did not rush to answer.

Instead, he got up, moved to the window curtain, raised his head with his hands behind his back, and looked at the bright moon in the night, and he did not forget to invite him, "Brother Xiuran, let's look at this star."

"it is good!"

In this regard, Liu Yin was a little unclear, but he did not refuse.

Answering the sound, he got up and came, side by side with him, quietly looking up at the stars.

Midsummer nights are especially sultry.

Looking at the continuous mountains and fields, as far as the eye can see, the bright moon is like a burst of mercury and sprinkled all over the world.

Looking up, I saw the sparse and sparse stars were pinned to the night at random, struggling with flashes.

And Zheng Pu's ethereal voice, which seemed to be muttering to himself, was like a dream.

"Haoyuexingchen, forever unchanged."

"However, there are many living beings, and there are very few people who have left their names in the world throughout the ages."

"Yizhou is tired today, so what?"

"The big Han is on the decline today, so what?"

"The ocean is flowing, and it should show the true character of my generation's man!"

"When you are born in troubled times, you should raise a three-foot green front, drive [-] soldiers, and achieve great achievements in the world!"

"An Nengzhan looks forward and backward, and is only a farmer and wealthy man!"

"Brother Xiuran, even though I'm not talented, I don't want to be a mediocre generation! I am determined to learn what I have learned in my heart, but I want to be famous in history!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Pu turned his head sideways and looked at Liu Yin, "Success, of course, happy! Failure, no regrets!"

Some words were spoken in an impassioned and loud voice.

It also made Liu Yin stunned for a while.

Before he asked Zheng Pu, he had thought about how Zheng Pu would answer and why.

However, the answer he thought to himself was completely different from the one given by Zheng Pu!
Even, the opposite!

He never thought that this seemingly weak and gentle young man in front of him had such a passionate ambition in his chest!

The ancient and modern art planners seek themselves first, and then seek people.

Why is this Zheng family child different?
However, there was a lot of confusion in his heart, which did not hinder him, and his breath gradually became heavy.

I felt a heat wave in my chest and abdomen, like a raging fire burning, overflowing with desire.

"When you are born in troubled times, you should raise a three-foot green front, drive [-] soldiers, and achieve great achievements in the world!"

"But ask Qing Shi to be famous!"

This is also the future he longed for when he was young!
It's just a pity that as the teeth grow old, the strength of this body is also consumed by the worldly pros and cons!
It has become, willing to be mediocre, just seeking to live!
In a short time, I have become a layman, and I don't know it!

Sad!
You can also hate ears!
"Hu~~~~~~~~~"

He exhaled heavily.

Liu Yin turned sideways, looked at Zheng Pu, and after slowly taking a few steps back, he suddenly bowed and saluted, his voice was like thunder, "Zijin's words are deafening! I can't hear it, Fang Wu wasted years without knowing his ears! !"
