Everyone knows very well that Liu Bei's ability demonstrated by this operation is by no means a simple scholar-type official.
Among the ancient literary school where scholar-type officials gathered, Liu Bei seemed to be an outlier.
Lu Zhi didn't say anything, but he was somewhat worried.
Although there are many words of praise, they are not without criticism and criticism. Some old scholars within the ancient literature school think that it is not a good thing for Liu Bei and Yuan Shao to be too close. They feel that Liu Bei is young and cannot suppress his inner desires, and Lu Zhi needs more Take care of him.
Although there is no clear distinction between the ancient literature school and the modern literature school, there are indeed some serious sectarian differences within each other.
Their hostility to each other is far greater than most people, and they are actually not satisfied with the situation where you and I are each other.
Most of these hawkish forces within the ancient literature school have suffered profound discrimination and attacks. They hope that the ancient literature school can overturn the academic hegemony of the modern literature school. However, under the premise of the party's ban, their existence is suppressed.
But Lu Zhi couldn't just pretend that their voices didn't exist. The scourge of party imprisonment would eventually end, and no one knew how the situation would change by then.
So with some worries, Lu Zhi called Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei could restrain his words and deeds a little and not make himself too conspicuous.
He is already very famous, and if he continues to show off, he will not have good results.
In this regard, Liu Bei was just silent for a while.
"The disciples all know what the teacher is worried about, and they know it very clearly."
"Then why did you..."
"Because the disciple has no other choice."
Liu Bei looked at Lu Zhi and said: "My disciples believe that although extraordinary behavior will cause all kinds of criticism and disaster, people with lofty ideals and benevolence will still do it without feeling regret or worrying about what they are about to lose. Feeling sad about being famous!"
Lu Zhi frowned and looked at Liu Bei.
"Famous? Just for the sake of being famous?"
"Teacher, it's not easy for me to be able to get where I am today. Although I am a member of the Han clan, my family has already fallen into decline. In order to get to where I am today, I have spent thirteen years of hard work and carefulness. To this day.”
Liu Bei smiled, a little sad and helpless.
"Teacher may think that disciples' pursuit of fame and fortune is too utilitarian, but teacher, for some people, fame and fortune are born with them, and disciples are born with nothing. Children of Luoyang are born with things that children of Luoyang can reach out to." Disciples have to fight with their lives to get what they can get.
The children of Luoyang can live in seclusion and raise their family, because they have a family, disciples and old officials. Some people promote their reputation, and some people design and pave the way for them to go directly to the Luoyang court. But the disciples have nothing. If If you don’t seek fame and reputation, what can a disciple get?
Beihai Kong Wenju was four years old, and he became famous for letting pears. His disciples thought that if he were not a descendant of the Kong family and a descendant of the sage Kong, who would know? How could he be the only one who has done such trivial things? Why is it that he is widely known only if he gives up the pear? "
Lu Zhi was speechless.
Of course, what Liu Bei said was true, and Lu Zhi knew it very well, but he had never considered the impact that such a situation would have on Liu Bei, who had finally reached this point.
At this moment, Lu Zhi suddenly discovered that he had never truly understood his proud disciple, and had never truly understood his life journey from humble beginnings.
With inexplicable emotions, Lu Zhi slowly raised the wine bottle and drank a lot of wine in one go, which made him feel a little calmer.
After a while, Lu Zhi organized his words.
"Xuande, I know that you have a lot of confusion in your heart, but you can't let yourself become a slave of power, you know? Once you fall, you really can't get out."
"Teacher, disciple knows what to do."
Liu Bei smiled and raised his glass to Lu Zhi: "After all, for so many years, this is how the disciple has been walking. No matter when or where, the disciple will never forget that he and his mother carried a load from home to the county town to set up a stall. A poor boy who wears shoes."
Lu Zhi felt very complicated after hearing this.
He wanted to say something, but he felt that no matter what he said, he couldn't get to the point.
It seems that an insurmountable gap began to appear between him and Liu Bei at some point.
As a teacher, looking at his disciples, Lu Zhi felt such sadness and frustration for the first time.
In the past, political and academic setbacks could be resolved, but he didn't even know how to resolve this frustration.
He likes Liu Bei very much.
I like his talent, his intelligence and hard work, his bravery and tenacity, his indomitable momentum and firm belief.
But when the negative meaning of chasing fame and fortune was also tied to Liu Bei, he felt helpless as never before.
In Liu Bei's view, Lu Zhi's dissuasion was a kind of scholarship's luxury, a kind of luxury unique to scholars with good backgrounds. This kind of luxury allowed them to live at home without doing anything, and to continue to work hard. Increase your reputation.
But this margin does not belong to him.
He does not have the family background of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, nor the knowledge and fame of Lu Zhi. Even if he faces criticism and difficulties, he must move forward bravely, fight for power and gain, and climb up.
He cannot let himself be forgotten or disappear in the circle of public opinion. Only in this way can he try to use the remaining time to find an unimagined path. Whenever possible, he does not want to embark on the path of fighting for supremacy in troubled times.
reputation! reputation!
For this reason, when Liu Bei received the invitation letter from Yuan Shu, he saw an opportunity.
He did not hesitate to take the invitation letter to Yuan Shao's mansion to attend today's banquet, and took out the invitation letter on the spot.
"It's interesting to say that yesterday, Bei suddenly received an invitation from Yuan Gongguo, the younger brother of Yuan Gong, inviting him to his mansion. Bei remembered that there was a banquet hosted by Gong Yuan today and was unable to go, but he didn't know if it would be possible in this way. Will it make Yuan Gongli feel unhappy?"
When everyone present heard this, they suddenly became quiet.
When Yuan Shao, who was sitting at the top, heard this, his face suddenly turned cold and his heart was full of displeasure.
Good boy, have you come here to poach me?
Don't you know whose younger brother Liu Xuande is?
Do you dare to send greetings casually?
Do you take me seriously? !
If Liu Bei had arranged the Yuan Mansion banquet for him, Yuan Shao might not be so upset.
But after Liu Bei organized the Yuan Mansion banquet for him, he seemed to have become an indispensable core of the team in Yuan Shao's heart. Yuan Shao, who realized Liu Bei's strong organizational and planning abilities, could no longer accept Liu Bei being poached by others.
Especially this person is Yuan Shu, who has always been at odds with him.
