Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 46

Chen Qun is still a freshman in the officialdom, but Chen Ji is an old man in the officialdom.

As early as when Zheng Ping went to serve as Liu Bei's magistrate, Chen Ji had doubts.

After all, with Zheng Ping's talent, instead of going the normal way to promote Xiaolian, Maocai, and then become an official, he committed himself to a small Gaotang Ling and was willing to be a small county magistrate.

It's impossible not to be puzzled.

And after Zheng Ping became the county magistrate of Gaotang County, a series of government orders also made Chen Ji more suspicious.

This is a sign of great things to come!

And today, at the work report meeting, Zheng Ping even used the past to satirize the present, insinuating that Chen Ji's corpse was a vegetarian meal, and then proposed to let Chen Ji pretend to be sick and Liu Bei to temporarily act as Ping Yuan's prime minister.

There is also the rather strong twelve strategy theory, all implying that Zheng Ping is secretly planning the general situation.

Zheng Xuan once misjudged that Zheng Ping had been traveling for four years, his spirit was restrained, his modesty was like a valley, and he had the demeanor of an ancient sage.

Kong Rong also saw Zheng Ping for the first time, and mistakenly thought that Zheng Ping was introverted and not as frivolous as he was when he was young.

But in fact, this is all an illusion on the surface.

From the beginning to the end, Zheng Ping never restrained himself.

It's just that the vigor has changed the performance situation.

In the past, the debate on talent and learning among scholars was a dispute of words.

But now it is the unity of knowledge and action, turning the debate of words into a battle of general trend.

From a sharp-edged chess watcher to a sharp-edged chess player.

Zang Feng restrained?

nonexistent!

Today is a troubled time, this is an era to show the edge.

Only strong enough can suppress all dissatisfaction!
Although those who are obedient can protect themselves wisely and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, they cannot fight for the trend.

Chen Ji's judgment made Chen Qun startled.

After all, it was due to a lack of experience and not having experienced many dangers. Today's Chen Qun is more modest and gentlemanly, lacking an accurate understanding of current affairs.

"Father, shall we just give up Pingyuan County to Liu Bei and leave nothing behind?" Chen Qun was a little unwilling.

After all, Chen Qun is also a hot-blooded age now.

Although the position of the county magistrate is part-time, Chen Qun also wants to continue to settle in this position.

Although reading has broken through thousands of volumes, if you can't practice it, you can't get true knowledge.

"Care?" Chen Ji shook his head and smiled: "Changwen, do you have a good strategy to deal with the Yellow Turbans? Can you use your wisdom to persuade the Yellow Turbans to surrender, or can you use your bravery to defeat the Yellow Turbans?"

"What you have learned is the art of being a minister. No one in the world can compare with you when it comes to the formulation of court laws, the selection of capable officials, and the balance between emperors and generals."

"However, when it comes to dealing with the Yellow Turbans and governing localities, your current experience is still too shallow."

"The skill of the public minister lies in the court, focusing on the balance of interests at the national level, rather than solving the problems of a single place like Pingyuan County."

"If you want to deal with the Yellow Turbans and govern the region, you still have to use local heroes like Liu Bei and Zheng Ping."

"As an official, you must be good at recognizing your own abilities, and you must not chase after the end!"

"Forcing a false name will only destroy one's own virtue, and the loss of fame will outweigh the gain!"

Chen Ji's teaching made Chen Qun's doubts clear as if they had cleared the clouds.

"What the father taught is that the child is dull." Chen Qun's eyes gradually cleared up.

Chen Ji thought for a while, and said: "Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, has an old relationship with the old man. This time, he pretended to be sick and went to Qiao County. Let's also pay a visit to Kong Ni."

"Kong Ni is a famous official in Yanzhou, and he can also help Liu Bei to become famous."

Chen Qun was a little surprised: "Father, Pingyuan County was handed over to Liu Bei, why do you want to make Liu Bei famous?"

Chen Ji laughed: "Changwen! Since the old man has given up Pingyuan County, he naturally hopes that Liu Bei can succeed. It is just a way to visit Kong Ni, and it is also a way to make Liu Bei famous."

"If Liu Bei fails, I won't lose much. At most, I feel that the world is like chess, and the universe is unpredictable. In this chaotic torrent, heroes can only fall into the sand."

"But if Liu Bei succeeds, he will definitely remember the old man's fame. If there is any difficulty in the future, he can go to Qingzhou to seek asylum."

"It's better to show kindness than to have grudges against others. This is the way of life. Long articles must be remembered!"

As the saying goes, if there is an old man in a family, if there is a treasure.

Chen Ji is over 60 years old now, and he is also a famous official and a frequent visitor to the officialdom. Is there anything in this world that has not been seen before?
This kind of understanding of how to behave in the world is enough to show his broad-mindedness, and he does not fall into the virtue of a gentleman.

If he was narrow-minded, he might have been thinking about how to get rid of Liu Bei and Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping dared to use the past to satirize the present, and made such a bold request, in fact, it was inseparable from Chen Ji's famous virtue.

Those who are good at planning are often good at reading people's hearts.

If today's Prime Minister Ping Yuan was not Chen Ji but Tao Qian, Zheng Ping would never have adopted such an approach.

After all, even Xu Shao, who is best at knowing people, felt uneasy when he stayed in Xuzhou, and even said to his apprentice: Tao Gongzu admires fame outside, but is not true inside.Although treat me thickly, it is bound to be thin.It's better to go.

Although the governance ability is a bit weak, it is true that Chen Ji is capable, so Chen Ji will not be angry because of Zheng Ping's use of the past to satirize the present, nor will he be angry because Zheng Ping proposed to let Pingyuan County.

Being kind to others and having less resentment is also the way of Chen Ji's ancestors and grandchildren's health preservation.

You know, Chen Shi lived to be 83 years old, Chen Ji lived to be 70 years old, and Chen Qun lived to be more than [-] years old.

Chen Qun admired Chen Ji even more.

And outside the government office.

Liu Ziping's eyes were full of admiration: "Mr. Kang Cheng's son is still as sharp-edged as before. Are you really not afraid of offending Prime Minister Chen and being reprimanded and expelled?"

Zheng Ping chuckled lightly, and slapped his shoulder: "Chen Xiang is a gentleman, how can he be angry because of this? Judging people and judging things varies from person to person. Although I have a sharp edge, I will not show it to others at will."

Liu Ziping laughed loudly: "Xuande has schemed to help each other, and great things will surely happen in the future."

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "The affairs of the county need the help of Mr. Chang Shi."

Liu Ziping's son-in-law Deng Xu is the captain, and Liu Ziping is the long history.

County Chief Shi is also in charge of the army, but he is not directly responsible for commanding the soldiers and horses on weekdays, but is mainly responsible for the dispatch of soldiers and horses.

In other words, as long as Liu Ziping supports Liu Bei, the soldiers in Pingyuan County will support Liu Bei.

That is a regular army with three thousand armors!
Liu Ziping brushed his short beard with a smile on his face: "Xuande, there is no need to be so divided between you and me, just call me uncle."

"Last time when I met Lingtang, Lingtang entrusted me to be a matchmaker for you. I wonder if Xuande still has intentions?"

Seeing Liu Ziping mentioning the matter of matchmaking, Liu Bei felt a little embarrassed.

Liu Bei's luck has been bad these years, he traveled here and there, lost his wife on the road, and only his mother is still alive as relatives.

Although Liu Bei didn't want to marry another wife before establishing a career, Liu Bei's mother didn't think so.

After all, Liu Bei is now thirty and has not yet had a son.

Both Liu Bei's grandfather and father died young, how could Liu Bei's mother not worry?
In case Liu Bei has an accident, the heir will be cut off.

Just when Liu Bei was about to refuse, Zheng Ping laughed out loud and cupped his hands to congratulate him: "Double happiness is coming to the door today, and the next official congratulates the county lord. You will have a good relationship again!"

　I ask: Would it be better to change the title of the book to [Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei's Conspiracy for the Lord, Conspiracy for the World]?Awkward
