It is said that Luo Chu was looking for a wife for his brother in Xuzhou, and then planned to visit the Han family in Huaiyin first and then go directly to Yangzhou.
Liu Bei stationed himself in Jinan Kingdom for a short period of time, and then led his army to the south of Qingzhou.
His ultimate goal is the Lu family, and the Linzi Lu family is right next door to Jinan.
But his primary target is the Kingdom of Ying. There is also Taishan County between the two sides, which is a rare area in Qingzhou that is blocked by mountains.
Compared with the road to Linzi, the road to Yinghou Kingdom is a bit rough and difficult, but it must be done.
He was going to use his status as a clan member of the Liu family to obtain an investment from the Yinghou Kingdom. This was the legacy left by Emperor Gao to all descendants of the Liu family.
The later Han Dynasty was able to continue the Han Dynasty because it relied on the power of the British princes.
Now, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the princes along the way, he asked for the help of the Yinghou. As long as he was a capable person, the Yinghou would definitely lend a helping hand.
Apart from Wushuang Hou, this was the only great nobleman that he was sure would help him.
Not only because he was a member of the Han clan, but also because Marquis Wushuang had already written a letter for him.
Recalling Wushuang Hou, Liu Bei felt uncomfortable in his heart. After his defeat to Zhang Jiao, all the wealth he had finally accumulated was wiped out.
When they parted, it was Marquis Wushuang who gave him the most critical support, not to mention those valuable items. He also gave him the ticket to revive the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei knew very well that since Wushuang Hou gave him those letters, his status among the Liu family members had been ranked among the top in the world.
If he can get the support of the British princes, he can be ranked among the princes and kings in Luoyang.
Unless there are other Liu family members who receive support from the Xiao family and the Han family, they can compete with themselves for orthodoxy.
When they heard that Liu Bei had issued the order to go to the Kingdom of Ying, both Guan, Zhang and Zhao, as well as Jian Yong and Liu Yan, were shocked and delighted.
Guan Yu didn't even twist his beard. He opened his squinted eyes and asked, "Brother, do we really want to see Duke Zichuan?"
Liu Bei smiled and nodded, "Wu Shuanghou gave Brother Wei a letter, asking him to pay a visit if he comes to Kanto in the future."
"I can actually see a role model in the world!"
If we say who has the highest reputation among the Han Dynasty, it is definitely not Zhaogong Luo Zhang, the head of the Luo family, but Luo Chuan.
The weight of the Marquis of Ying was higher than that of Duke Zhao in the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty, just like in the hearts of the people of the Luo Kingdom, the status of the Marquis of Luo must be higher than that of the Emperor of Zhou.
The general feeling of the world towards the mysterious Zhaogong is fear and some respect, but for the Yinghou, they have pure respect.
Luo Chuan stood up to the Ling Emperor and spoke out for the scholars and common people in the world, which brought him to the pinnacle of fame and became the idol of the upright people in the world. Now that he has the opportunity to see him, he is naturally overjoyed.
.....
In the Yinghou Kingdom, Luo Chuan and Luo Qian couldn't help but smile while looking at the letter sent by Luo Chu. Luo Qi was a little speechless beside him. Luo Chuan looked at Luo Qi and said, "Qi'er, what do you think of the letter sent by A Chu? look?"
Luo Qi said helplessly: "Since Achu has agreed to this, he has no choice but to come to propose marriage. Where in the world can a younger brother promise to marry his older brother? When he comes back, he must be taught a lesson."
Luo Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard that her son had taken advantage of him and behaved well.
The letters sent back by Luo Chu contained portraits, and Luo's portraits were not just freehand portraits, but also realistic portraits.
The ancestor of King Su was known for his superb painting skills. In order to record those great people and deeds, the Luo family's children all had good painting skills. Especially after the advent of paper, their painting skills have made great progress.
Luo Chuan also laughed and said: "This noble daughter of the Mi family is really stunning in the country. At this time, Achu still remembers you as my brother. The love between brothers is as deep as the ocean."
Luo Qi didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth turned up, and he thought to himself: This brother's pain is not in vain. .net
The three of them were talking and laughing, preparing to send a pie
When people went to Xuzhou to go through the process of getting married, a female official suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. After bowing to pay homage, she said to Luo Qian: "Female Master, there is a letter from Master Kong."
Luo Qian knew that Luo Kong was in Luoyang City now, so she couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Third brother?"
She quickly took the letter, then her eyes dimmed and she said, "This is a letter written by the third brother before. It is a letter of recommendation."
Luo Chuan came over and Luo Qian opened the letter. After the two of them read it in a hurry, Luo Chuan muttered a few words softly, "Liu Bei and Liu Xuande must be extraordinary if they can be valued by the third brother.
The third brother introduced Liu Bei here. Did he want Liu Bei to follow the path of Emperor Guangwu again? "
Luo Qian heard the words and said softly: "That is no longer possible. The strength of the five surname families is not as good as before, and the hearts of the families are gradually dispersed. It is impossible for all families to devote all their efforts to the great cause of prospering the Han Dynasty.
Can you really still prosper after losing your destiny for the second time?
But one can do two, but not three. Where in the world can there be a dynasty that can prosper in three ways? "
Luo Chuan and Luo Qi were silent when they heard this. They had both studied the history of Bangzhou.
We know how much we have paid for the thousand-year dynasty, and during the Zhou Dynasty, the Emperor of Zhou was the co-owner of the world, and each princely state was responsible for its negative karma.
But that was not the case in the Han Dynasty.
Don’t you see, the Emperor of Zhou has ruled the world for more than two hundred years, and then his power fell into the hands of the princes?
Don’t you see, the Qin Dynasty unified the world and collapsed in just ten years?
The Han Dynasty lasted for three hundred years and ruled over such a wide area. The king had such great power, far superior to the Xia and Shang dynasties!
What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
Luo Chuan recalled the generations of Yinghou frame by frame in his mind, and said with a heavy tone in his voice: "I always want to meet him. I am a Yinghou, a Liu family member who has made a difference." It would be really funny to kiss someone in person but not see them."
Hearing this, Luo Qian touched Luo Chuan's straight back and said, "Don't be discouraged. It all depends on human factors. Then wait for Liu Xuande to come and see what kind of person he is before making a decision.
He led a large army to station in Taishan County, and it would take some time before he could reach the country.
Now, we must first select the candidate for Azhi's wedding, as well as the betrothal gift. The Yinghou Kingdom is not too close to Xuzhou Donghai County, so we need to prepare early. After completing this matter early, there are other major things to do. "
Liu Bei led the army into Taishan County, which is considered the most serious area of Qingzhou banditry. He almost fought while walking. After arriving here, Liu Bei really felt what it meant to prepare food in a pot to welcome the king's division. Taishan County The remaining wealthy families welcomed Liu Bei quite a lot.
So Liu Bei stationed himself in Fenggao, the county seat of Taishan County, which was the most easily defended and difficult to attack area in Qingzhou.
After entering Jinan Kingdom, the main reason why he was unwilling to station in Jinan Kingdom was that there was a plain without mountains and rivers blocking it, and Taishan County was very suitable as a base.
Liu Bei planned to wait until he met the Yinghou and then declare himself as the governor of Taishan County.
As long as he occupied Taishan County, he could guard the junction of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, and then slowly move east to conquer the land of Qi State. With sufficient troops and food, he became a powerful prince.
This was what the counselor named Jia Xu said casually when he was chatting with Wushuang Hou, but Liu Bei always remembered it.
After the army was stationed, Zhao Yun and Jian Yong were left to look after the army, and Liu Bei took a group of people to visit Luochuan.
When the powerful nobles of Taishan County heard that Duke Xuande actually had a letter of visit from the Marquis of Ying, their eyes suddenly changed and became a little more enthusiastic.
One afternoon, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Yan knocked on the door of the Yinghou Mansion. The three of them were led into the Yinghou Mansion. When they walked into the hall, they saw a very elegant man with a face like a crown jade. The man sat in the main seat, and sitting together in the main seat was a Luo woman with a sacred mark carved between her eyebrows.
The four people walked in and bowed directly: "Liu Bei pays homage to the lord, and pays homage to the lady!"
Luo Chuan and Luo Qian bowed in return, then waved their hands and said, "Mr. Liu Fu, please take a seat."
When the Marquis of Ying called him Liu Bei, he knew that the result of his visit to the Marquis of Ying would not be bad.
In the current world, there is a theory of three kings, the so-called government king, envoy king, and prince. The meaning of the word Jun has always been quite extraordinary.
Needless to say, the term "junhou" can only be used by people like Luochuan who have been named county princes. Because only county princes can establish a country, it is perfectly normal to call him a king.
In the later Han Dynasty, the scope of use expanded, and it was also used by those Tinghou, and even expanded to the entire marquis.
An envoy is an envoy sent by the emperor. It usually refers to an official who has served as a governor or a state pastor. It refers to an official who has the power to reach a state.
Fu Jun is an honorific title for the prefect of the county and officials of the same level. Now Luochuan calls Liu Bei Fu Jun to recognize his status in Jinan Kingdom, and even recognize his status in Taishan County.
Liu Bei later planned to declare himself the prefect of Taishan County, and having the support of Marquis Ying greatly increased his confidence.
After sitting down, Liu Bei directly clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I have taken the liberty of visiting you. Please forgive me and your wife. The situation in the world is really fierce and this has to be done."
Luo Chuan asked the maid to pour tea for Liu Bei and the four of them, and then said, "I can roughly guess the purpose of Mr. Liu's visit. This will be a bumpy road."
It was indeed a bumpy road. Liu Bei faced not only attacks from other princes, but also attacks from within the Liu princes. Even the royal family was the one who wanted to attack Liu Bei the most.
Because of what happened to Emperor Guangwu back then, the royal family didn't want to do it again. If Liu Bei wanted to develop on his own, that would actually be nothing.
For example, Liu Biao, who was sent to Jingzhou, and Liu Yan, who left Luoyang after presenting his strategy. These two Han clan clansmen have higher status than Liu Bei. There are countless clansmen in the world who have higher status than Liu Bei. .
But Liu Bei's most taboo thing is trying to contact the five surnamed families. This is a violation of the royal family!
Even if the family with the fifth surname did not support Liu Bei, the royal family would regard Liu Bei as a clan official who tried to seize power from the royal family, so Luo Chuan said that Liu Bei had chosen a bumpy road.
When Liu Bei heard this, he looked solemn and said, "You can just call Bei Xuande the prince.
Bei has been determined to revive the Han Dynasty since the time of King Qin, and has been determined to revive the Han Dynasty since Emperor Ling lost his destiny. As for the difficulties and dangers involved, they are all what should be endured.
Nowadays, the power of the royal family has been greatly damaged, and it has even been trapped in Luoyang. Now that the situation in Luoyang is unclear, they have to take risks. If they develop as soon as possible, they will have the strength to resist future changes.
If you miss the opportunity to prosper the Han Dynasty because you are worried about those unnecessary words, it will be too late by the time you regret it. "
Liu Bei's thinking was very clear. Luo Chuan nodded slightly. This is indeed the truth. When the royal family cannot cheer up, it is necessary to ask the clan members to exert their efforts. This is what Emperor Guangwu did back then.
There is indeed nothing wrong with Liu Bei learning from Emperor Guangwu now. The only pity is that the five surnamed families no longer have the strength they once had.
"The Marquis of Ying is a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households that was ennobled by Emperor Gao when the Han Dynasty was founded. It has been accompanied by the ups and downs of the Han Dynasty for three hundred years.
Emperor Gao said at that time that even if the river becomes thinner than a belt, even if Mount Tai is like a pebble, our country and wealth will not change. Emperor Xiaoxuan said that we will be hereditary and prosperous forever. Emperor Guangwu said that the noble princes of Jinling would be superior to the princes and kings.
Three hundred years later, all the people of the Yinghou Kingdom deeply felt the promise of the three emperors.
Since you, Xuande, have such a great wish, how can I not help you?
This is the kindness accumulated by your ancestors. Now it has been repaid to you. Go ahead and do it. Qingzhou will be your place of prosperity.
Go to Jimo, Linzi, see Lu, and get Lu's help, and you will become the master of Qingzhou.
Isn’t this the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty? "
Luo Chuan's generous words made the eyes of the three Liu Bei brothers instantly wet. Ordinary people may not be able to feel such emotions, but Liu Bei and Guan Zhang are both good-natured and loyal people.
The one who fell for Luo Chuan's tricks the most, Liu Bei even bowed directly
He bowed and said, "The Yinghou's great kindness will be unforgettable. My ancestors were virtuous and protected their descendants. If I can prosper the Han Dynasty one day, how dare I treat you disrespectfully?"
Luo Qian was observing everyone in the room, mainly observing Liu Bei. The Yinghou State gave Liu Bei certain resource support, but she also had to observe carefully what kind of person Liu Bei was, mainly regarding his personality and talents.
She wanted to choose a good lord or alliance leader for her son Luo Qi. Prince Yinghou had too few choices. He could only choose from these Han clan members or the Luoyang emperor.
The Liu Bei in front of him was already at the level of a prefect, so he naturally entered the inspection scope of the Yinghou Kingdom.
Liu Bei's ability to achieve great things has something to do with his decisive character. After the failure of King Qin, Liu Bei was able to decisively enter Qingzhou, and despite the huge pressure within the clan, went to visit Yinghou Luochuan. This was his relationship with the Han clan clan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. One of the reasons why he stands out is that at a time when the royal family is in decline, Liu Bei's hard-working clan members have become the pillars that continue to support people's hearts. Because of this, the history of the Han Dynasty did not end abruptly. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
