Just as Liu Bei thought, there was no result from this banquet except long sighs.
Neither Lu Zhi nor Yang Biao had the means or courage to solve the problem. Faced with some fighting trends within the eunuch group, they were unable to control them.
They are not revolutionaries, and they cannot even be reformers. Even if they can stick to their true intentions and be themselves in the trend of the times, it does not make any sense.
So Liu Bei saw through the incompetence and helplessness of the scholars on this day, and had no expectations for them.
And he also began to think about his future path after this banquet.
No matter Yang Biao or Lu Zhi, they were famous and capable, but they did not have the courage and action to reverse the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The two representative figures who stood at the top of the scholars in the late Han Dynasty were nothing more than this, and then the elites of the late Han Dynasty were nothing more than this.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was probably at its end. None of the so-called heroes could end the troubled times. This product of compromise, which was not for reform but to maintain the old order, may have also come to an end due to constant internal friction.
As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, what can Liu Xuande do?
What is his ultimate goal?
At this moment, Liu Bei began to think seriously about this issue.
In addition, he continued to be his own little expert in debating scriptures and a great poet in Han Dynasty, running back and forth between the three points of Shangshu table, debating meetings and family, constantly improving his ability to do things and running errands, and constantly improving himself. The ability to debate scriptures and write poems.
As a result, Liu Bei's reputation grew. Although he was only twenty years old, his reputation was no less than that of some veteran Confucian scholars.
Because of such fame, he can meet his fans when he works at Shangshutai, and when he goes to other government offices for work reasons, he can also meet his fans.
These fans provided him with great convenience in official affairs. No matter whether there was anyone waiting or not, the things he had to do were always ranked first and completed as quickly as possible, so he could always get the official title They praised him for his quick work and hard work.
Because of this, he is an absolute core figure in his circle of friends.
After Liu Bei came to Luoyang, he got to know many people through his own social connections and Lu Zhi's support.
Relying on Lu Zhi's introduction, he met the second and third generations of Lu Zhi's circle of friends in Luoyang, and entered the core layer of this circle of scholars.
Ma Rixi's son Ma Yong, Han Shuo's son Han Jue, etc. all became friends with him and appreciated his literary talents and his knowledge in Confucian classics.
Entering this circle of exchanges among the children of high-ranking scholars, and being a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei had already planned an official career for the next ten or twenty years. As a former mat weaver and shoe seller, he had nothing to do with it. Doubt is excellent and successful.
So Liu Bei was very happy.
He temporarily forgot all his sorrows and the ups and downs he had seen along the way. He just wanted to feel the sunset of the Eastern Han Dynasty in this short period of time.
Until he had to stand up and face everything.
Right now, Lu Zhi is still protecting him, so apart from normal social interactions and work, Liu Bei spends all his time with Han Ning and Han Xiaodie.
Speaking of which, after Liu Bei became famous, Lu Zhi's friends all regretted and regretted that he was married.
As Liu Bei's reputation grew, his romantic poetic style was not only praised and sought after by scholars, but also appreciated by the women in Luoyang City.
Especially those young girls who were waiting for marriage, after reading the poems written by Liu Bei, they had many unrealistic fantasies about him. When Han Ning and Han Xiaodie found out about this, they felt nervous, so they looked at Liu Bei. Just look at it more strictly.
As long as Liu Bei is fine and as long as he is at home, Han Ning and Han Xiaodie will never leave each other.
Night is their home court. Every time they have the opportunity, they must make Liu Bei so tired that he can't lift his head before letting him go. This is called enhancing the relationship between husband and wife.
Of course Liu Bei knew why, so he stroked their smooth faces to comfort them.
"You don't have to be like this. I'm already a man with a family. Which of the daughters who are waiting for marriage in Luoyang City is not from a high-ranking family? Who would lower themselves to be my concubine? Am I the king? Or should I say that? Am I the emperor? Can I let them be my concubines?"
Han Ning and Han Xiaodie thought it made sense.
No matter how much they admired Liu Bei's talents, the daughters of those wealthy families would not lower themselves to become his concubines. Even if they wanted to, their families would not agree.
So the two of them were willing to spare Liu Bei.
But they are still dissatisfied.
"My husband is so talented, why don't you write a poem for the two of us to express your feelings?"
Han Ning hugged Liu Bei, puffed out her cheeks, and looked at him with a dissatisfied look, as if she had grown up eating cute things.
Han Xiaodie also nodded vigorously next to Liu Bei - relying on Liu Bei's favor, this little girl at least already felt a little cute and cute in the bed curtains. She no longer felt shy and cautious at first, and had a slight sense of alienation. He has become extremely clingy and will crawl into Liu Bei's arms whenever he has a free moment. He is so cute.
So Liu Bei burst into laughter.
Of course there are ancient poems about love and love, but they are basically about lovesickness, except Wushan is not a cloud, life and death, and so on.
Our life is so happy, we are together every chance we get, and we can’t cut it with a chainsaw, so why do we miss each other so much? How to say goodbye between life and death?
If he really wanted to be original, the shameless Mr. Liu didn't have that ability, so he could only survive by plagiarizing poems from Tang and Song Dynasties. How could he write love poems for Han Ning and Han Xiaodie?
So Liu Bei hugged the two beauties in his arms and kissed each of them.
"Now that we are like this, do we still need me to write poems to express my affection for you? Between you two, who doesn't know how much I like you?"
As soon as these words came out, Han Ning and Han Xiaodie froze half of their bodies, and suddenly softened, and they no longer had the little emotions they had just now.
Indeed, Liu Bei treated them very well.
Even if Han Xiaodie is not pregnant yet and is not even considered a concubine, Liu Bei still loves her very much, not to mention Han Ning as his head wife.
This family of three is quite stable now and will remain stable for a long time to come.
In terms of life and work, Liu Bei has achieved a good balance. He makes full use of the twelve hours a day, including work, friends, teachers, and family. He can be called a time management master in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
And just when Liu Bei was indulged in this comfortable daily life, the arrival of an uninvited guest disrupted all his plans.
One day in mid-April of the fourth year of Guanghe, Liu Bei returned home from get off work at Shangshutai after five days of work as usual.
Because tomorrow is a holiday, he is going to spend some time with Han Ning and Han Xiaodie at home. In the past few days, the court had to deal with the Jiaozhi rebellion, so time management masters like Liu Bei were forced to work overtime. He didn't get along with Han Ning and Han Xiaodie for days.
After finally getting to the holiday, not only the women couldn't bear it, but Liu Bei himself couldn't bear it either.
As a result, before I could do anything when I got home, the concierge suddenly came to report that a guest had come to visit and brought a greeting card.
guest?
Liu Bei looked at the sky and found that it was almost sunset. It would be the curfew time soon. What does it mean to come to visit at this time?
Liu Bei took the invitation and looked at it casually.
Then his pupils shrank and his breathing became stagnant.
There are six characters written clearly on the greeting card: "Cao Cao and Meng De of Pei Kingdom".
