Xuande

Chapter 172
In the case of Sangong recording Shangshu's affairs, the Shangshuling automatically became Sangong's subordinate and obeyed orders, so it was difficult to have any autonomy.

When Lu Zhi was in charge of Shangshuling before, because Yang Ci intervened in the affairs of Shangshutai many times as Taiwei Lu Shangshushi, many things that the ancient literature school wanted to accomplish were not completed.

Of course, what Yang Ci wanted to accomplish was not accomplished because of the opposition of Yuan Wei and Lu Zhi.

The two sides launched a tug-of-war for power within Shangshutai, which is the pivot of the world.

But this time, with Lu Zhi's imminent resignation, there is no candidate for the new Shangshuling or Shangshupushe. Although the three princes can lead the development of Shangshutai's affairs, they still need some subordinates to help implement them if they want to get things done.

Therefore, the current situation can be regarded as Liu Bei replacing Lu Zhi's position and becoming a trumpet Lu Zhi to work inside Shangshutai.

To be honest, this is a result that no one expected.

Even in the official reward ceremony, Liu Bei was only awarded Tinghou and Shiyi because of his military achievements, and he was rewarded with gold, silver, silk and some land, and did not mention any new official position for him.

At that time, some people felt that something was wrong.

Liu Bei is Lu Zhi's disciple. Even if there is no special treatment, he can resume his job at Shangshutai, right?

What Liu Xuande could give, Yuan Benchu ​​couldn't, it's as simple as that.

Cao Song looked Liu Bei up and down, praised him again and again, and then agreed that this matter is on his shoulders. As long as Xu Xuan let go, he will immediately deliver the benefits.

He and his group of buddies want power, but they don’t want power. They want power, but they don’t have power. In the environment of the battle between ancient and modern Chinese, a group of wild talkers is really worth little, except for the name of the fourth generation and third father, the Yuan family, which is the most valuable. It was Zhang Miao's money.

Liu Bei shook his head and smiled: "I know the importance of fame, but I also know the truth that those who are right get more help than those who are wrong. To put it bluntly, there are three stakes for a fence, and three gangs for a good man. I can't do it if no one helps me." , what do you say?"

Originally, Changshuiying was the best choice, but unfortunately Cao Chi passed away last year, and Cao's power in the army is in a state of idleness, so he cannot directly help.

"It's not a big deal."

After eating, Cao Song got drunk, so Cao Cao sent Liu Bei off.

"Cao Song has a reputation for greed in the court. It is said that he is a good hand at making money. He is also quite harsh on us generals. I'm afraid it will not be so easy for Xuande to follow his path?"

Liu Bei understood what Cao Cao meant.

So Liu Bei first personally visited Cao Cao's father, Da Sinonong Cao Song.

Cao Song was very happy with Liu Bei's visit, received Liu Bei in person, thanked Liu Bei for helping Cao Cao's family, and said that no matter what Liu Bei had, he could tell him, as long as he could do it, he would help Liu Bei.

He met Xu Xuan, the current captain of the Tunqi school, during the previous battles, and the two had contacts, so he hoped to gain some benefits for the Tunqi camp through Cao Song's relationship, so that it would be convenient for him to stuff people into it.

Adhering to the idea that although the famous flowers have owners, I will loosen the soil, Liu Bei left Cao's mansion with a hint of joking.

Of course Xu Xuan was very interested in this, but at the same time he was a little surprised that Liu Bei was able to get through Cao's family.

Liu Bei patted Cao Cao's arm: "I will leave this matter to your father."

Liu Bei didn't seem worried, instead, he was active, jumping up and down, and began to seek jobs for his cronies and subordinates who followed him through life and death.

Liu Bei felt that Cao Song actually had a straightforward aura, which was obviously different from the scholars and officials he came into contact with.

snub him?
Does that guy care about me?
snort!
After comparing Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, Cao Cao's resentment towards Yuan Shao is not one or two points.

So when Liu Bei said this, Cao Cao almost rolled his eyes.

Cao Cao immediately said: "Don't worry, Xuande, I won't make things difficult for you."

So Liu Bei didn't go around in circles and expressed his thoughts.

Then don't blame him for Cao Mengde turning to follow Liu Xuande closely.

At first, sorry, I probably succeeded in prying this corner up.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I must be one of Xuande's helpers. If Xuande needs anything, I will definitely do my best wherever I can!"

He wanted to find a job in Luoyang City for his subordinates who fought with him.

So after returning to Luoyang this time, the riding camp became his first choice.

"Don't worry, Xuande."

Or should he be transferred to the military?
At that time, Emperor Liu Hong didn't say anything.

"Speaking of which, did you know about our affairs at the beginning?"

After receiving Cao Song's promise, Liu Bei was determined and prepared to leave, but Cao Song refused and insisted on taking Liu Bei to have a meal, and greeted Liu Bei with good wine and good food.

What I want is your boy's words!

"Where is the matter, after all, I am begging for help."

But Cao Song is different here.

"No, not even my family members know about it, and I haven't talked to anyone about it."

That's right, Yuan Shao couldn't give what Cao Cao wanted, and even if he could, he didn't want to give it. Yuan Shao never thought about Cao Cao's ability to change his identity from the very beginning.

Speaking of which, as time went by, Yuan Shao became less and less useful to Liu Bei.

He almost said to Liu Beiming that if you have anything to do, please come and ask me.

Afterwards, Liu Bei personally visited Xu Xuan, had a drink with him, and told him what he needed and what he could give him in return.

Scholars and officials are mostly exquisite minds. As long as they are not close relatives or close friends, their speeches must be twisted and twisted, citing scriptures and classics, and they refuse to explain the words thoroughly anyway. They insist on guessing by the interlocutor. Guess to death.

Hearing this, Xu Xuan stared at Liu Bei for a while, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm not afraid that he's greedy, but I'm afraid that he's not greedy. Only those who are greedy can discuss it, but those who are not greedy can't, isn't it?"

"I've said it all, so it's fine for others to talk about it, why should it be like this between you and me?"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Xuande, he was born in a famous family at the beginning, what has he never seen before? How could he care about this kind of thing? Besides, neither I nor you are his former disciples of the Yuan family, and he still can't reach out. For that long, we don't need to worry about such things."

And the most interesting thing is that Yuan Shao has not yet successfully shifted from the line of the struggle between the party and the prison to the line of the struggle between modern and ancient Chinese, and he has not yet adapted to the situation of the new era.

Liu Bei nodded.

Liu Bei shook his head and said with a smile, "I just wondered if I knew about this at the beginning, would I think we were ignoring him?"

"Father is too happy, don't blame Xuande."

Yuan Shao?

Facing a brand new political test, Yuan Shao is obviously a disqualified player.

"That's interesting."

Before parting, Liu Bei suddenly remembered something.

Xu Xuan, the school lieutenant of Beijun Tunqiying, admired Liu Bei's behavior in previous battles, liked his fairness and justice, and had contacts with him.

Of course, Liu Bei assured that Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun were among the Cypriots. In addition, only his two most trusted subordinates, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, would be stuffed in together by him.

The Cao family with strong financial resources is one of the big dogs in his eyes, and it is impossible not to squeeze the wool.

But it is impossible to expect Liu Bei to let the Cao family go like this.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Speak up, we will definitely do this. I am afraid that if you don't speak up, we don't know how to repay your kindness. At that time, my father was happy for this matter for a long time, and all the years of resentment have been ignored. I'm very happy."

It seems that Cao Cao's dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao is not small, and it has a long history.

"Xuande is young, but he knows a lot of things. He is worthy of being a disciple of Confucianism. He has a bright future."

"I am over-flattered."

Liu Bei also laughed.

The deal is considered done.
