Liu Bei stood up and said, "Bokai Gong, how about I be the elder of the fourth brother?"
When Cai Yong saw Liu Bei, he suddenly realized, yes, Liu Bei can do it.
His identity and status are appropriate, and there is nothing wrong with him being an elder.
Cai Yong nodded: "Xuande is very good as an elder in the early days of Zichu. However, we still need a matchmaker."
In this era, the role of matchmaker is very important. As the saying goes, there is no marriage without a matchmaker.
Chen Yuan knew only a few people, so after much deliberation, Liu Bei pulled Lu Zhi out to be the matchmaker.
With Lu Zhi as matchmaker and Liu Bei as the elder, the marriage is settled.
But now is not the time to get married. The wedding date can only be announced later.
Three days later, the emperor was anxious to suppress many of the heroes of the Yellow Turbans and went to court to be granted titles.
Chen Yuan is still not qualified to go, but when Liu Bei comes back, he will know the result.
It's basically the same as history, the only difference is Liu Bei and Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi should have been imprisoned in the original history. After Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, he went up to petition for merit for Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi was reinstated as minister.
But now because of Chen Yuan's interference, Lu Zhi directly led Jizhou Mu.
To be honest, Chen Yuan was happy to see Lu Zhi take over as the shepherd of Jizhou, and he hoped that Lu Zhi could stay in the position longer.
Because Lu Zhi is much stronger than Han Fu, he can suppress Yuan Shao hard, don't let this guy get up too fast.
With Lu Zhi here, it would be wishful thinking for Yuan Shao to get Jizhou as he did in history.
Then there is Liu Bei. Liu Bei will never be sent to a small Anxi county captain like in history.
Liu Bei was promoted to General of Zhennan, led as pastor of Jingzhou, and was granted the title of Marquis of Tingting in Lucheng.
After hearing the news, Chen Yuan finally felt at ease.
It's not easy. After working hard for so long, I finally have a stable territory.
Although this territory is far from stable.
At this time, one of the biggest problems in Jingzhou is that of powerful and handsome people.
In history, Liu Biaodan rode into Jingzhou, and it was only thanks to the powerful clans of Jingzhou that he was able to pacify these heroes.
Although the results are extraordinary, there are consequences.
That is, Liu Biao had to rely on Jingzhou's wealthy families and gave up a lot of benefits.
Rather than saying that Jingzhou belongs to Liu Biao, it is better to say that it belongs to Liu Biao and the wealthy family.
Chen Yuan did not intend to let Liu Bei rely on these wealthy families to pacify the powerful commanders.
There is no way to do this, because Liu Bei has troops.
Although Liu Bei's Polu camp was born as a volunteer army, after several large and small battles, it can now be regarded as a qualified regular army.
Of course, the number of people is a bit small, but new recruits can definitely be recruited.
Now they can also be called Jingzhou Army.
Liu Bei became the shepherd of Jingzhou and officially became one of the state herdsmen in the world. He suddenly had more entertainment and other things.
Chen Yuan was also very busy. He was busy preparing how to pacify Jingzhou and how to bring over the people from Youzhou. He also had to pick up some people from Zang Ba, the Taishan army, because he could not support so many people.
Fortunately, Gu Yong and some Tai students who were willing to go to Jingzhou came to help, which greatly alleviated Chen Yuan's troubles.
In addition, there is another very important job, that is, someone needs to be on the front line to collect news about Jingzhou.
This task belongs to none other than Jian Yong.
So, on that day, Jian Yong took the lead and set off with a group of people.
Liu Bei was socializing in Luoyang, and Chen Yuan was not interested in the others. The only time he was invited by Yuan Shao was this time.
Because Yuan Shao is hosting this banquet, Cao Cao will definitely be there.
Cao Cao was also in Luoyang at this time, and he would stay in Luoyang for a long time.
Because Cao Cao will soon be appointed as one of the eight captains of Xiyuan.
Therefore, Chen Yuan accompanied Liu Bei to the banquet.
The banquet held by Yuan Shao was in Yuan Mansion. This banquet was held in the name of Yuan Huai, so many people came.
Nothing bad happened at first, but after three rounds of drinking, some people started acting like monsters.
The reason is very simple. Even if Liu Bei's status is different, people like the Yuan family still look down on him.
So, under the signal from Yuan Shao's eyes, a man stood up.
This person is none other than Chen Lin.
Chen Lin has received instructions from Yuan Shao to embarrass Liu Bei.
There are two reasons: he dislikes Liu Bei, and it is not in the interests of the Yuan family for Liu Bei to serve as pastor of Jingzhou.
Now I want to embarrass Liu Bei and damage Liu Bei's prestige.
The method is not difficult. Although Liu Bei studied with Lu Zhi, his knowledge was not deep, so Chen Lin prepared to use this to embarrass Liu Bei.
Chen Lin came to Liu Bei with a wine glass and said: "Your Majesty Liu, I am Chen Lin. I have heard for a long time that your Majesty is a disciple of Duke Qiang, with profound knowledge and extraordinary literary talent. Today, all the princes are gathered together. I wonder if your Majesty will have any good works to come out?"
Liu Bei's smiling face suddenly froze.
After hearing Chen Lin's words, Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with unpredictable light.
Chen Lin?
Yuan Shao's lackey.
It seems that the Yuan family has begun to target the eldest brother.
Yes, after all, it is definitely not in the interests of the Yuan family for the eldest brother to serve as the pastor of Jingzhou.
According to the Yuan family's plan, it would be best if all state pastors were appointed by members of the Yuan family.
For example, Han Fu, Wang Wen and so on.
In the hall, when everyone heard Chen Lin's words, different thoughts flashed through their hearts.
The members of the Yuan family were all watching the show, but some other people were not familiar with Liu Bei, so naturally they had no idea of standing up for Liu Bei.
For a moment, there was an eerie silence in the hall.
This is Liu Bei's current situation.
There are too few helping hands among the powerful and the imperial court, almost none.
Only Lu Zhi and Kong Rong had very few people who could help him.
However, these two people are not here today.
Chen Yuan naturally couldn't watch Liu Bei make a fool of himself, so he directly stepped forward to resolve Liu Bei's embarrassing situation.
He stood up and smiled lightly: "What's so difficult about such a trivial matter? Why bother my elder brother to take action? How about letting me, Chen Yuan and Chen Zichu, give it a try?"
Chen Lin seemed to have just seen Chen Yuan at this moment, and her eyes were on Chen Yuan.
Chen Lin's eyes were sophisticated: "Who do you think you are?"
"Chen Yuan and Chen Zichu."
"Where are you from?"
"Youzhou Zhuojun."
Chen Lin heard a trace of sarcasm in her eyes: "Are you worthy of the surname Chen?"
???
Do I deserve the surname Chen?
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he felt infinite anger in his heart.
What a Chen Lin, what a Yuan family.
Very good, I will remember you.
However, Chen Yuan did not lose his composure.
She glanced at Chen Lin coldly: "With such a great reputation, the Guangling Chen family will only produce such immoral and rude people. If so, then the Guangling Chen family will not be far away from defeat."
Chen Lin's expression suddenly changed when she heard this.
In this era, cursing other people's families for their decline is even more humiliating for individuals.
It's just that Chen Lin was rude first and no one else could say anything.
Chen Lin wanted to get angry, but thinking of his identity, he suppressed his anger: "Liu Shijun's subordinates are only those who can only betray and talk. Even if they can't admit it, no one will laugh at Shijun. After all, Shijun is diligent in martial arts."
It’s not a little bit, but a lot of quality and a little writing.”
