Xuande

Chapter 780
Jian Yong is a man of culture.

At least in the small group back then, he was a cultural person second only to Liu Bei. He was born in a low-level gentry family and had read a few books. He was not a simple player of reading and writing.

So he was also the earliest clerk, diplomat, and logistics officer in the group, Liu Bei's early right-hand man, and once looked like a standard civil servant.

But because of the shortage of manpower, Jian Yong was also forced to participate in many passionate interactions with the big guys, mingling with the elders in his hometown.

Although his personal force is not good, and his individual combat effectiveness is not strong, but in terms of character, he has gradually acquired some color of burning books and burying scholars.

And because of his lack of personal force, in order to complete the tasks assigned by Liu Bei, he had to use more tactics to win. In the later period, Jian Yong gradually evolved from a cowardly bastard from a third-rate gentry to a sinister and cunning gentle scum, a typical representative of a kind-hearted black man .

He has seen Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others in their early bear appearances, knows what kind of goods they were originally, and has seen them beaten into pigs' heads, three pigs' heads and four heads, so even if they are now five people and six people, a big Jian Yong didn't have the same awe as the others for the general's style.

When other people see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei leading such a great general who has made many contributions, they are respectful and fearful. Even the important staff officers around Liu Bei, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, they see Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc. People are also respectful.

But Jian Yong is different. When Jian Yong recruits these people to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, that's just one word, hate.

"Who said I'm the one who lies on the bed the most? Guan Changsheng, don't spit blood!"

Jian Yong got angry, pointed at Guan Yu and cursed: "When you fought with Chen Dazui in the west of the city, you insisted on taking the lead, but what happened? Chen Dazui lay down with a stick! It took five days to recover! It was I who went to find you a doctor! You forgot but I didn’t forget!"

"That's different!"

Guan Yu, who was mentioned about the embarrassing incident, broke his guard, pointed at Jian Yong and said angrily: "That bastard has no rules! Just before the battle, he threw dirt on my face! I was attacked by him before I knew it! That's because he is despicable and shameless!" If you have the ability, let me fight him in a dignified manner! I must smash his head!"

"He even smashed his head, and put it down with a handful of dirt. Don't you understand that soldiers are not tired of deceit? It's their ability to put you down!"

Jian Yong laughed loudly and said, "I was the one who led a sneak attack to kill that bastard. That bastard, when he killed him, was still having trouble with a woman, so I hacked him to death on the bed. Really, I Is it revenge for you?"

Guan Yu blew his beard and stared angrily, and punched the table with his fist, unable to speak, but in the blink of an eye he saw Zhang Fei snickering there, and Guan Yu couldn't hold back immediately.

"Yide, what are you laughing at?"

"No, I didn't...puchi...hahahahahaha!"

Zhang Fei stopped pretending, and started laughing while holding his stomach. Guan Yu couldn't hold back the laughter.

"Yide, don't blame me. When you fought with Wang Niujiao, you rushed to the front and were beaten to the ground. How many people did I rush to rescue you, but..."

"Brother Zhong!"

Zhang Fei's complexion immediately changed and he immediately stopped Guan Yu: "Your younger brother is ignorant! Brother Zhong! Don't talk about that matter! Shameless!!"

"Say it! Say it! What's the matter?"

Jian Yong didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he kept pushing Guan Yu, and Liu Bei was also a little interested in this matter.

"Yun Chang, tell me."

"Brother!"

Zhang Fei broke his defense, looked at Liu Bei as if begging, then at Qianzhao, then at Guan Yu, and shot distress rays everywhere, but it was useless.

Everyone is not a good person, they all like to expose the shortcomings of others, and rely on the pain of others in exchange for their own happiness, how can such a thing be tolerated?

"Who told you to start first? Yide, don't blame me."

Guan Yu grinned, and said coldly: "Yide was beaten so badly that he couldn't even control the reincarnation of the five grains. His pants were covered inside and out. I saw him covered in dirt and dirt. I didn't know what it was. I thought He was injured, and when he stretched out his hand, it made me sick..."

Guan Yu seemed to recall some unbearable past, with a disgusted look on his face.

"what!!!!!!"

Zhang Fei covered his head and cried out in pain.

Jian Yong suddenly burst out laughing.

Liu Bei also restrained his urge to laugh with strong willpower.

"No, why don't I remember that happening?"

Guan Yu laughed.

"He felt ashamed of himself, so he secretly grabbed a pair of other people's pants and changed them on. After returning, he sneaked to the river to take a bath, and came back very late."

Liu Bei couldn't hold back anymore, he laughed for a while, and then reached out and patted Zhang Fei's shoulder beside him.

"Good guy, it's a good thing we're on the upper reaches of the river, hahahaha... Yide, it's okay, we won't laugh at you when it's all over."

"But brother, you are obviously laughing..."

"Nonsense, I'm comforting you, why do you think I'm laughing at you?"

"Brother, do you think I will believe you?"

Liu Bei couldn't hold back anymore, he lowered his head and laughed so that his whole body trembled.

Zhang Fei once again covered his face in grief and anger, looking up to the sky and screaming.

After a burst of laughter, a gust of cold wind blew through, which refreshed the minds of several people a little bit.

The past goes with the wind, what happened almost 20 years ago was quite dangerous at the time, but now it seems that it was just a child playing house at the Youzhou level, which is really not a big deal for the real Shura battlefield.

So many years have passed in a flash, and everyone has changed from a hot-blooded boy in his teens to a mature male in Luoyang in his 30s, and everyone can't go back.

Of course, there is no need to go back.

Several people were silent for a while.

Later, Liu Bei picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and reopened the topic.

"It's all over, it's all over, whether it's funny or dangerous, it's all over, we are no longer the bastards of Zhuo County, I am the emperor, and you are my ministers, generals, who are behind us It is no longer just a few hundred people in that area, but the entire big man, tens of millions of people.

Becoming emperor at this moment is not what I expected, and you are not prepared for it, but the matter has come to this point, and none of us can avoid that responsibility. Although this responsibility is very heavy, we must shoulder it. If we can't carry it, the big man will be finished.

But I have to say, after gaining power, I don't want you to be domineering. I don't want you to do things that bully the weak in order to show your power. Rules to protect the weak from bullying.

If he uses his power to bully the weak after gaining power, then he is not a real man, but depraved like a eunuch, with strange yin and yang. Such a person is not my brother, and he will definitely not end well. "

Saying this, Liu Bei put down the wine glass in his hand and sighed deeply.

"Zijing, Xianhe, Yunchang, Yide, you have been with me the longest, and are also the most important subordinates I value the most. You are like brothers in my heart. My feelings for you are the same as those of other people. It is different, and because of this, I cannot tolerate the mistakes you make even more.

When others make mistakes, I will punish them according to the law. This is a very simple matter, but when you make mistakes, you offend not only the law, but also my feelings for you. Therefore, your mistakes are especially unacceptable to me. , do you understand? "

Liu Bei said this without looking at anyone, and his tone was very gentle, as if there was nothing special about it.

But when these words fell into the ears of the other four people, there was an inexplicable smell.

Liu Bei is not a tyrannical person, not a bloodthirsty person, they can be sure of this.

But Liu Bei is also a person who never shows mercy to the enemy's subordinates, which is also certain.

So they who have followed Liu Bei for so long understand that Liu Bei's warnings to them must be listened to, and they must not be ignored, and they must not think that past friendship can determine everything.

So all four of them knew what to do in the days ahead.

The next day, the morning before the New Year's Eve, Liu Bei called all his core team into his study.

Seriously.

Han Rong, Cao Cao and other cronies in the imperial court represented by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong, all of them gathered around Liu Bei once again, and listened to Liu Bei's assignment of the next tasks.

"Although it will be the New Year's Eve soon, there are still some things I want to tell you in advance. Just because I am the emperor doesn't mean everything is going well. There are still many people who are not convinced by me, and many people are staring at me. , always ready to resist.

My next big goal is two, one is to shift the national policy of the Han Dynasty from internal to external, and the other is to complete the comprehensive land survey, conduct a census of the national land, and then determine the taxation, and recover the tax that the court should have received.

I know that your families have more or less land, and I will formulate some standards, how much land needs to pay how much tax, generally speaking, the more land, the higher the tax, this matter is inevitable It must be done, I need your promise, and you must support me. "
