Obviously, Liu Bei's remarks were not expected by Zheng Tai and Jia Xi.
They think that they are older than Liu Bei, and Liu Bei has always treated them as elders, so they naturally think that their status is higher than Liu Bei's.
They believed that even though Liu Bei had a high position, he should be respectful to them in every sense.
This is consistent with Liu Bei's character all along.
They are the seniors, the elders, and Liu Bei is the junior, the junior. You cannot do such disrespectful things to them.
But this time, just now, Liu Bei said something that they considered "rebellious and unethical", which deeply stimulated their fragile self-esteem.
Zheng Tai and Jia Xi were used to enjoying the admiration and respect of everyone, but when they suddenly heard such rude words, they couldn't tolerate it and became furious.
"Liu!"
"Liu Bei!"
The two of them stamped their feet fiercely, then walked up to Liu Bei and stared at him.
As a result, before the two of them opened their mouths, Xu Chu and Dian Wei stepped forward and stared at the two of them, as if they were not allowed to take a step closer.
Although they did not speak, make any sound, and did not use force, two sturdy men stood in front of them and used their death gaze skills. Zheng Tai and Jia Xi felt guilty for a moment and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Zhong Kang, Wei, don't be so impatient and be polite. Zheng Gong and Jia Gong have high status."
Liu Bei stepped forward, asked Xu Chu and Dian Wei to take a few steps back, and said with a smile: "If you two have anything to say, just say it, I don't mind."
Zheng Tai and Jia Xi looked at each other, then nodded together and turned their attention to Liu Bei.
"What do you mean by saying this now? Do you want to be our enemy?"
"Are you going to do something ungrateful?"
"How can you actually say such arrogant words?!"
"Why didn't I see that you have such deep arrogance hidden in you before?"
…
…
…
The two of them pointed at Liu Bei and cursed angrily. Their words were not pleasant, but they did not use many words and their posture was not arrogant.
While they were scolding, they were also paying attention to the movements of Xu Chu and Dian Wei. There was no trace of the calmness they had at the beginning, but only incompetent rage and a hint of fear.
Obviously, they were worried that Dian Wei or Xu Chu would draw a sword against them.
In front of these two towering men, they had no chance of survival.
After Liu Bei finished scolding them, he walked up to the two men, looked down at the short two men, and sneered.
“It’s not me who is ungrateful, it’s you!”
Then his eyes suddenly widened and he said angrily: "How many benefits have you gained in vain through my hard work over the years? It is only because of my reputation that you can survive until now! It is me that the Jinwen School is afraid of! The eunuchs are afraid of me.
It’s me who is the only one! It’s me who Yuan Wei and He Jin are afraid of! It’s me who everyone in the world is afraid of!
If it weren't for me, how many people would be orphans and how many would be kings in this world today! It was I who led the army to fight in the north and south, and wiped out all the rebellious thieves! This stabilized the situation! Without me, you would all be the swords of others.
The devil below, the slave under the crotch!
Do you really think that the people of the world believe in the principles of the Ancient Literature School? Do you really think that the Modern Literature School was defeated by the principles of the Ancient Literature School? Do you really think that the ancient Literature School’s way of governing the country can save the crumbling Han Dynasty?
It’s me! It’s my force that people in the world believe in! The Modern Literature School was defeated by my army! The Ancient Literature School can’t save the Han Dynasty, and even if you tie them together, you can’t save the Han Dynasty! You can only make the Han Dynasty fall apart and barely survive.
Today, it’s me!”
He kicked the desk in front of him open, opened his hands, and pushed the stunned two people back. The two staggered back several steps.
Zheng Tai barely stood still, while Jia Xi fell directly to the ground.
"Liu Bei! You..."
"What are you?"
Liu Bei glared and sneered: "I've told lies a thousand times, but do I really take it seriously? Who do I really think I am? Do you believe it or not, if today's news is spread, tomorrow you will come to me if you want to kill someone.
There are so many people who want to flatter you that they can queue up from Luoyang City to Chang'an City!
Do you really think that you are indispensable people? I'm sorry, no! Without you, this big man's world will only be better, and I am the most important! Without me! You will all die! Recognize this before coming back
Discuss compensation with me! Want compensation from me? Do you deserve it?"
Zheng Tai and Jia Xi were so shocked by Liu Bei's sudden violent appearance that they couldn't say a word. They looked at Liu Bei as if they were meeting him for the first time, as if they didn't understand what was happening at the moment.
Their heads just shut down.
Seeing the useless looks on their faces, Liu Bei couldn't help but shake his head.
These people are really trash. They were just lucky enough to be reincarnated at the right time and ended up in a wealthy family. However, they are really trash without any responsibility or courage.
Putting such people in high positions will only make more and more capable people feel desperate and make the country collapse.
Therefore, Liu Bei, who had long seen through their cowardly and incompetent nature, really felt that there was no need to continue to be nice to them.
When this reform enters the deep water zone, the most important thing to do is to draw clear boundaries with certain people and let them know what they can and cannot do. If they still want to do it forcefully and still can't recognize the current situation...
Liu Bei's iron fist will come crashing down to help them calm down.
As for the excuses and means, they are all written openly in the Han Code - Liu Xingxing lived an upright life, but he wanted to be clear in his heart.
But Zheng Tai and Jia Xi are just enlarged versions of people who are asking for land and housing. They only have personal agendas in their eyes and hearts, and nothing else.
By chance, they became Liu Bei's companions and were taken along by Liu Bei. However, they did not expect that they regarded Liu Bei's powerful flying ability as their own. They even thought that Liu Bei could fly so high because of their
help.
Liu Bei did not deny that they did put in a lot of effort and helped him at certain times, but in essence, they were still insects, so-called private schemes.
Then we should let them fall from the sky to the ground, and let them realize how incompetent and useless they are.
Do you really think that the Zheng family in Kaifeng and the Jia family in Pinling can do whatever they want?
Perhaps they never cared about Liu Bei's regiment destroying the Yuan family.
But the fact is that the Yuan family, which has four generations and three nobles, and has disciples and former officials all over the world, has been completely eradicated by Liu Bei. So the Zheng family and the Jia family, who are far less powerful than the Yuan family, will only be easier to deal with.
