I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 25
Gongsun Zan carried thorns on his back. Although most of the thorns had been pulled out, the thorns were not cleaned very well. Some small thorns still scratched his back, and small strands of blood soaked through his clothes. .

It was not yet summer yet, and the weather was still a bit chilly. The pain and cold made Gongsun Zan a little hard to bear.

But Gongsun Zan gritted his teeth and persisted. He took a deep breath and walked into the backyard of Liu's residence without hesitation.

Before arriving at the cowshed, Gongsun Zan bowed to the cowshed with a thorn on his back, and said loudly:
"Brother Liu Xian, Zan is unfair in dealing with things, he is not clear about the decision, and cannot promote talents for the court. I am really ashamed. I am here today, and I ask for my understanding! Please come out of the shed to meet each other!"

Gongsun Zan himself had an exceptionally loud voice, and his voice was high-pitched. Almost everyone inside and outside the courtyard could hear his words.

Outside the courtyard, Yu secretly sighed with emotion: With the voice of Gongsun County Lord, it is necessary to yell all the people in Liu's house before giving up.

Inside the cowshed, Liu Bei lay on his stomach through the gap in the door panel and looked out.

"Gongsun Zan, after all, is still an extraordinary person. This thorny man, apologizing outside the cowshed, and blatantly admitting his own faults, seems to wish everyone knew about it. If the matter were to spread, it would not be good for his reputation. There are pros and cons."

Liu Jian said slowly: "Perhaps, there are both advantages and disadvantages."

"However, it is not easy for him to do this for us in such a status. After all, he still regrets it in his heart."

"You mean? Forgive him?"

"What are you talking about not forgiving? If the imperial court can really order to go out of the fortress, this battle is not only related to his future, but also to you and me. Once it is done, the predicament you and I are currently in will be solved in one fell swoop. Maybe it will be even better than this." Senior Brother Gongsun is stronger."

Liu Bei nodded and said: "That's true, besides, the honor of a county has done this, if you still put on airs and spread the word, I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined."

"Haha, what brother said is true, then give him a step down."

……

Soon, the door of the cowshed was opened, and brothers Liu Jian and Liu Bei came out one by one.

Gongsun Zan looked up at Liu Jian, and what he saw was his confused expression, as if he didn't know what was going on in front of him.

Gongsun Zan sighed inwardly, his junior brother is really very human.

With such a big commotion outside, he was still so confused, as if he didn't know what was going on.

"Brother!"

An exclamation brought Gongsun Zan back from reverie to reality.

After just a while, Liu Jian rushed to Gongsun Zan's side, stretched out his hand and forcibly tore off the thorns on his back.

I don't know if Liu Jian meant it, but when he pulled the thorns for Gongsun Zan, blood was drawn on the palms of his hands.

But he didn't care about it, he didn't care about his palm at all, he just left all the thorns on the ground.

Afterwards, Liu Jian kicked those thorns away with all his strength, and said regretfully, "It's my fault for being humiliated and tortured like this!"

"Brother!"

Gongsun Zan hurried up, stretched out his hand to hold Liu Jian's hand, and watched carefully: "Does it hurt, brother?"

"It's not as good as my brother's case."

Gongsun Zan shook Liu Jian's hand heavily, and said bitterly: "I didn't understand it for a while, and I wronged my virtuous brother. It's too late to regret it! There is an old saying, 'I'd rather have a kind', but my brother can't see Mount Tai with a single leaf, and he only cares about scholars." You students, you have forgotten that there are also virtuous and virtuous people among the rich!"

Liu Jian smiled faintly, and silently responded.

"Ah! My dear brother, forgive me. I said something wrong for my brother. My dear brother and I are studying scriptures at Goushi Mountain. You and I are both scholars. Blame me, blame me, and talk nonsense!"

"Senior brother, don't blame yourself. You and my brothers are all heroes. If you feel unhappy occasionally, why should you worry about it? It's not your husband!"

After all, Liu Jian pointed at the thorns on the ground and said seriously, "It's like this, but there's no need for it!"

Outside the courtyard, the crowd watched Gongsun Zan and Liu Jian expressing their "brotherhood" in the courtyard, and they were filled with emotion.

Such scenes, although there are not a few in the Han Dynasty who rule the country with filial piety, most of them are rumors, and they have never seen the appearance. It is a great comfort for everyone present to see such a wonderful scene today.

There are already many people who secretly plan to record this matter on the bamboo slips after they go back, so as to pass it on to the world.

Old Liu Zhou burst into tears, and cried to Yu Ze and the others: "Did you see it, did you see it, this is brotherly respect! Brothers, disciples of great Confucianism, are you like ordinary people?"

Yu smiled lightly: "Yes, yes, I have seen it all, Mr. Liu, don't get excited, and hurt your body again."

Gongsun Zan said to Liu Jian, "Brother, I will drive the car for my brother later, and I invite you to go to the county office with me, so we can reminisce about old times!"

Liu Jian heard the words and said, "Why dare you bother your brother to hold the reins?"

Gongsun Zan smiled, then lowered his voice suddenly, and said in a voice that only Liu Jian could hear, "Don't think that what I did today was all contrived, but brother, I really feel that I can't live with you and Xuande. Brother once said that if you mean what you say, you will take the blame and personally drive you back. How can it be a joke to say what you say? Please don’t refuse, brother!"

What Gongsun Zan said was true and very sincere, and it could even be said that he took his heart out.

Liu Jian pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, since brother proposed it, then this matter is feasible, but let's agree, it's just this time, and it's not an example."

Gongsun Zan showed a happy expression.

……

Therefore, Gongsun Zan really followed the preface, and personally drove Liu Jian from Liu She to the county office, and the little quarrel between the brothers disappeared.

Liu Bei and Liu Zhou waited at home, but Liu Jian didn't come back at night, so they sent someone to ask, and Gongsun Zan's people replied that Liu Jian was staying at the county office tonight and had important matters to discuss with Gongsun Zan.

This made Liu Bei quite depressed. Liu Jian didn't return all night. For some reason, he felt very uncomfortable as if he had lost his backbone.

No wonder, for ten years, Liu Bei has been following Liu Jian every day. Even if they go to Goushi Mountain to study the scriptures, the two are inseparable. Feelings.

But the strange thing is that Liu Jian has always declined this request politely, not at all interested.

Everything else is easy to say, but this is definitely not acceptable.

……

After one night, Liu Jian still hadn't returned. Liu Zhou and the Hu family were not in a hurry, but Liu Bei was in a hurry. They sent people to ask several times, but the answer was that Liu Jian and Gongsun Zan had a very happy talk for days, and their plans were still undecided.

Liu Bei was very depressed, why is this kid still not at home?

However, Liu Bei was thinking that Liu Zhou and Hu Shi did not have the slightest anxiety. On the contrary, they all felt that their son was capable enough to talk with the county monarch for several days without returning.

In addition to being excited, Liu Zhou recruited Liu Bei to accompany him for a few drinks on the third night.

On the morning of the fourth day, Liu Jian still did not return, and Liu Bei felt depressed, so he went out to talk to Jian Yong and Zhang Fei.

He was very worried, what could be discussed for three days without any result?

Ah Jian must be in trouble!Hurry up to discuss with the two virtuous brothers.
