Chapter 771 For this reason, he made a decision that went against his master
!
Standing on the road to the palace, an extremely terrifying guess suddenly appeared in Ma Rixi's mind.
A guess that he himself couldn't believe.
If……
Just an assumption.
Liu Bei's purpose from the very beginning was to destroy the Wenyue family...
Is this possible?
When this possibility first emerged, Ma Rixi followed his own sensibility and rationality and suppressed it.
He himself thought this was impossible.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Because no matter from which angle you look at it, this is incredible.
A guy who worked hard to get up from the bottom, a guy who had great luck and great talents. I don’t know what chance and coincidence allowed him to successfully join the ranks of the Yue family. Relying on this identity
, he changed his offensive and changed an era.
He is where he is today because of his status as the head of the Weyue family. Without his status as the head of the Weyue family, even if he was just as good at fighting and equally as amazing and talented, he would have to spend at least ten more years to lay the foundation.
May be on the fast track to seizing power.
If he said that he wanted to destroy the Wenyue family from the very beginning, then Ma Rixi would not believe anything he said.
Isn't this a contradiction?
But that's what he did.
He has really destroyed the Weyue family. Dozens of Weyue families, dozens of deep-rooted and powerful Weyue families, were destroyed by him alone.
By the way, even his own family will be destroyed by him.
He is such a cruel person.
According to the result-oriented theory, he became a member of the Wenyue family, and he destroyed the Wenyue family. He took action when the Wenyue family was in its weakest state in history.
The Wenyue family is finished, destroyed, and will never appear again from now on.
Liu Bei, what are your thoughts and what do you want to do?
Ma Rixi turned around with difficulty and carefully turned his gaze in the direction of the study.
The owner of that room, the owner of this country, what on earth is he thinking?
No one would answer Ma Rixi's doubts, not even Liu Bei.
Because this itself is a question that does not need to be answered at all.
After Liu Bei settled the matter with Ma Rixi, he sent Zhang Rang to personally go to Situ's Mansion to welcome Lu Zhi and talk to him in the palace.
After Ma Rixi is solved, as long as Lu Zhi is solved, the Weyue family can be officially declared extinct.
This ghost-like existence, this existence that will completely mature into a complete body in the future and super-evolve into a [family member], will be interrupted by him at this moment in the upgrade process, and then disappear.
Right, private schemes should disappear more thoroughly.
Private schemes are important obstacles that hinder human development. Eliminate them as cleanly as possible. This can be regarded as reducing the burden on yourself.
Too many private schemes will severely tie the legs of human beings, preventing them from reaching the stars and the sea, and preventing them from further transcending themselves.
Private schemes can only bring about involution and can never be surpassed.
No matter what happens in the future, now, Liu just wants to eliminate the highest form of smuggling - the Wenyue family.
For this reason, he made a decision that went against his master!
Teacher, give up on the Lu family.
When Lu Zhi arrived at the palace in a sedan chair, he was still in a trance.
Once upon a time, the relationship between this palace and him was not that close, but now, the relationship between this palace and him is only separated by one of his most proud disciples.
After Liu Bei became emperor, Lu Zhi, as a disciple, had nothing but honor. Liu Bei asked Lu Zhi if he wanted to find something to do. Lu Zhi said that he wanted to rest for a while, so Liu Bei let him rest.
After resting for several months, Lu Zhi was in a normal mood. After thinking about it, he didn't know what else he could do, so he felt that when Liu Bei started the operation to conquer the fields, he would go up to wave the flag and shout for other things, so he should stay less involved.
Better.
Liu Bei also seemed to know what Lu Zhi was thinking. In addition to arranging for his eldest son during the holidays, the crown prince Liu Shen personally sent some gifts and greetings to Lu Zhi, but did not disturb Lu Zhi and let Lu Zhi have a good rest.
But this time, Lu Zhi was a little surprised that Liu Bei would call him over.
For several months, Liu Bei was busy reorganizing the court and reforming the central and local governments. He took major actions one after another and soon transformed the Luoyang court into something that Lu Zhi did not recognize.
Lu Zhi even felt that Liu Bei was really changing the dynasty and doing something extraordinary.
And what happened to this sudden invitation?
After the sedan carriage entered the palace, Lu Zhi insisted on walking.
Zhang Rang, who greeted him, told Lu Zhi with a smile that Liu Bei had specifically asked Lu Zhi to be carried into the palace in a sedan chair without him having to walk. However, Lu Zhi was unwilling and got off the sedan chair and chose to walk.
"Under the feet of the Emperor, ministers should keep their feet firmly on the ground. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful. If I can do it today, can others do it tomorrow? Don't take it lightly!"
Lu Zhi glared at Zhang Rang, and after finishing speaking, he walked forward on his own.
He was still somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Rang. Although he could not take action against this "remnant of the previous dynasty" because of Liu Bei, Lu Zhi felt that it was okay to reprimand him.
Zhang Rang had no choice but to follow quickly and lead the way for Lu Zhi.
These days, following Liu Bei, Zhang Rang has regained some of the feelings he had back then. Because he has successfully transitioned from the Liu Hong era to the Liu Bei era, he is still the chief eunuch beside Liu Bei. Many people treat Zhang Rang differently.
.
Even because Liu Bei was more powerful, some scholars and officials treated Zhang Rang very politely, even with a hint of fawning.
It's just that Zhang Rang didn't dare to accept their "meaning" because Liu Bei would be unhappy.
But this did not prevent him from feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.
Those who longed for his death have already died, and died miserably. The surviving tribesmen will also lose their past wealthy life and endure the miserable life he once endured. If they cannot bear it, those people will also
will die.
Their whole family will die.
But he is still alive despite being cursed.
I'm still fucking alive! Still alive!
And live better!
What Liu Bei said to him back then was true.
As long as you make the right choice, your life will become brighter.
But at this moment, he was brilliant.
However, when it was Lu Zhi's turn, Zhang Rang had to accept his willfulness.
The reason is very simple. Lu Zhi is Liu Bei's teacher. Even if Lu Zhi acts willfully in front of Liu Bei, Liu Bei will condone him. Therefore, as Liu Bei's "house slave", I must endure Lu Zhi's temper no matter what and must not offend him.
.
Otherwise, Lu Zhi would definitely not be punished.
Zhang Rang still knew this.
When they arrived at Liu Bei's study, Liu Bei had already prepared tea. When Lu Zhi came in, Liu Bei enthusiastically stepped forward and asked Lu Zhi to take a seat.
Lu Zhi was serious about it. He saluted Liu Bei and called out to your majesty. Liu Bei smiled and shook his head, took Lu Zhi's hand and pulled him to sit down.
"Above the palace, there are monarchs and ministers, but behind the scenes, they are still teachers and students. Teacher, please sit down."
Lu Zhi's heart warmed up, so he didn't say anything more and sat down following Liu Bei's wishes.
Liu Bei made a pot of tea with his own hands and poured tea for Lu Zhi in front of him.
"This tea is good tea produced in Sichuan. I asked my disciple to dry it in a special way, fry it in an iron pot, and then soak it in boiling water. Drinking the tea this way, I think it has a unique taste. Teacher, please try it
Try it, you can’t taste it anywhere else.”
"Water for tea?"
Lu Zhi looked at the clear cup of tea in front of him, took a sniff, and felt a refreshing fragrance penetrate his nose.
"It's extraordinary, but other people drink tea by decoction. Where did you learn how to drink tea?"
Lu Zhi picked up the teacup, put it in front of his nose and sniffed again, finally a smile appeared on his face.
Liu Bei also raised the tea cup and sniffed it gently.
"Occasionally, when I have free time, I like to read some random essays. I occasionally read about some ancient ways of drinking tea, and then I learned it. I made some improvements and got such an interesting way of drinking tea. But now, maybe
Only teachers and students drink tea like this."
Lu Zhi listened and took a small sip. He suddenly felt that the taste was special and the aroma was extraordinary. It was slightly bitter when he first tasted it, but it turned sweet afterward. He took another sip, and then another sip, and gradually realized the wonder.
"This is a bit interesting. It's rare that you have become an emperor and have free time to make these things for enjoyment."
Liu Bei smiled.
"The emperor is also a human being, and as a human being, he will be tired. Dealing with government affairs all day long, even the iron man can't bear it, let alone this mortal body? Naturally, he has to find some ways to relieve fatigue, and he can't spend too much money, so he looks for
This way.
When you feel tired, call for the piano player to play music and drink tea while reading some random essays. After about half an hour, the fatigue will gradually subside and you can continue to concentrate on official business. It does not cost money or time.
Good."
Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei, paused for a while, and finally sighed.
"If the late emperor could be as frugal as you, how could the great man be where he is today?"
When Lu Zhi said these words, Zhang Rang, who was waiting at the side, felt his heart skip a beat and quickly looked at Liu Bei's face, fearing that Liu Bei would become angry.
Lao Lu, can you say this?
If Liu Bei's parents said this, it would be more appropriate.
But you are just a teacher, not a parent. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to say this?
If Liu Bei is angry, what should he do?
But what surprised Zhang Rang was that Liu Bei didn't seem to feel anything, and instead nodded in agreement.
"What the teacher said is true. If the late emperor had been a little more frugal and not so lavish in luxury, the great man would not be where he is today, and even the late emperor might not have died young."
Lu Zhi was filled with emotion and nodded repeatedly.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. Looking at Liu Bei, there was a trace of panic on his face.
",I……"
"Teacher, this time my disciple invites the teacher to taste tea. In fact, it is not just for tea tasting."
Liu Bei looked at Lu Zhi with a smile: "Disciple, I really have a very important matter that I hope to get support from my teacher."
Liu Bei didn't seem to care about what Lu Zhi just said. Lu Zhi felt relieved and asked, "What's the matter?"
"About Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period."
Liu Bei said slowly: "Some people came up before and talked about "Jia De Tong Yi" and said that many clans no longer exist. How to write the relevant chapters of "Jia De Tong Yi" to gain the recognition of the world has become a problem.
.
This incident made the disciple quite unhappy. The disciple believed that the family members had done their own evil and deserved to be destroyed now. However, the family classics they had mastered would bring trouble to the compilation of "Jade Tongyi". The disciple thought that
This is very angry.
So after much deliberation, the disciple decided to take the lead, and asked the Liu family of Zhuo County to take the lead in giving up the inheritance of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals", giving up the qualifications of the family, and no longer passing on Confucian classics, and returning this inheritance to the imperial court.
Organization to teach students all over the world."
When Lu Zhi heard this, he was shocked and looked at Liu Bei with disbelief.
",You...are you serious?"
"Of course, this disciple has never taken the inheritance of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals" too seriously."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Of course, when I received the inheritance, the disciple was still very happy, even ecstatic."
Lu Zhi lowered his head and was silent for a long time, his thoughts spinning in his mind.
When he raised his head again, he asked Liu Bei a question.
"Ma Gong, have you convinced me yet?"
"yes."
Liu Bei did not hide it, but nodded and said openly: "Ma Gong has agreed to return his share of inheritance to the court. Those who are disciples at home, now only yours, teacher, are left.
, you won’t stop me, right?”
Like Ma Rixi, Lu Zhi also didn't like questions with predetermined answers. Compared to Ma Rixi, he was definitely more daring to say no in front of Liu Bei.
However, compared to agreeing or not agreeing, he had more important issues he wanted to figure out.
"For you, what does the status of the Wenyue family and the inheritance of the Zuo family mean?"
Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei very seriously, hoping to get an accurate answer from Liu Bei.
He needs to figure out why Liu Bei is so free and easy about his hard-won existence. If he never cared, then was it for today that he worked so hard to get all this?
He thought about today more than ten years ago?
Even if he killed Lu Zhi, he wouldn't believe it.
As for Lu Zhi's question and request, Liu Bei also thought about it seriously, and then gave Lu Zhi an accurate answer.
"The status of the Wenyue family and the inheritance of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period were an unexpected surprise to the disciples at first. When they first obtained it, the disciples did not expect to get the inheritance. Before Zheng Gong came forward to help, the disciples thought that they could consolidate Lu
His status as a disciple is enough.
What the disciple never expected was that Duke Zheng was actually willing to help the disciple obtain the inheritance rights of the Zuo family's Spring and Autumn Period, pushing the disciple's clan to a high position in the family. This was an unexpected gain and was not considered by the disciple, but since he got it
, the disciple is also willing to take it.
It can be said that this identity and position played a decisive role in the disciple's rapid rise to power and rapid development. Without this identity, the disciple would probably have to spend another ten years to lay a solid foundation and fight against the insects in the world.
But with this identity, this time is saved. Therefore, I am very grateful to be able to get this identity. But to say that this identity is everything is not necessarily true. Without the disciple's own efforts, the disciple cannot survive even if this identity is given.
stand up."
"So in your opinion, this identity is a help to your success, but not everything?"
"Yes, definitely not all."
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Without this identity, the disciple can still dominate the world, but it will take ten more years. This identity is so important. The disciple can reach this point today, and this identity is probably more than half
of credit."
"But even so, don't you care about this identity?"
Lu Zhi wondered: "Do you know what this status means? Even if you become the emperor now, this status is more secure than the emperor. If you manage it properly, the future of the Liu family in Zhuo County will not be limited to one day.
Son of Heaven.
In fact, many people can see this truth, but not many people will actually say it. Many families have inherited it since the time of Zong Zhou. Emperors and generals have been constantly changing, and their bodies and families have been wiped out. However, these families have been passed down to this day.
