Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 535
Even when he returned to the mansion, Liu Mastiff was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and he would occasionally fall into deep thought. Previously, his own efforts could not compare to a word from the emperor. He spent so long, but In just a few days, there were nearly ten talented warriors. Among these people, some were able to lead troops to fight, some were able to govern state affairs, some were able to make suggestions, and some were all-powerful.

Many of the officials in the East Palace were all studying in Taixue, and some of them lived in Luoyang and held other official positions. After receiving the emperor's edict, these people came to visit Liu Mastiff. They sat together in the side courtyard of the Yuan Mansion and hosted a banquet in person. The atmosphere was very good, because everyone present, such as Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Cao Pi, Sun Quan, Lu Yu, Xun Ji, etc., had a good relationship with Liu Mastiff. close.

However, what worried Liu Mastiff was the rest of Pang Tong, Fazheng, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Man Chong.
These people have never met Liu Mastiff, and it has nothing to do with them. Of course, it is not difficult to convince them as an official of the crown prince. However, to turn them into confidantes like other officials, Liu Mastiff needs to figure out a way Among them, Pang Tong knew a little about it. This person was admitted to the Taixue at a young age, but he was always self-willed, did not make friends with others, and was extremely proud.

Quite like the demeanor of the old Prince Situ. Later, he won the double championships in Confucianism and Agriculture, but he was ashamed of this matter. He felt that failing to win the four championships was the greatest shame in his life. He refused to accept the official position and returned to Taizhou. He continued to study in school, then went out to study, visited famous people from all over the world, and held debates. He was definitely not happy when he obtained the most famous method in law and mathematics.

Although Fazheng is not as arrogant as Pang Tong, and he is also quiet on weekdays, his talent and learning are not inferior to Pang Tong's scientific achievements in that year. , Liu Mastiff can only know the temperament of this person after getting in touch with him. As for Zhou Yu and Lu Su, one is a school lieutenant in the north and the other is a county magistrate in Xiliang.

Knowing them through the heavenly scriptures, Liu Mastiff dared not underestimate their talents. These two people must also be his confidantes.

Needless to say, the last Man Chong, this man is extremely staunch and cruel, and people often complain about him, he never cares about other people's identities or other things, as long as he violates Han law, he will be severely punished, Hua Xiong has never I can't forget him, and I want to take revenge in my heart, but I dare not go to him.

It was Man Chong who came to meet Liu Mastiff first.

That is, at that banquet, Man Chong came to the side yard to look for Liu Mastiff. The servants knew his reputation and did not dare to stop him, so they brought him to the side yard and told Liu Mastiff. All the people came to pay their respects, seeing this person, Liu Mastiff was the first to salute, but this person took a step back, not daring to accept it, and after that, he paid his respects to Liu Mastiff.

"Manjun ruled Luoyang and punished Xiaoxiao severely. Such a great achievement, I should worship him."

"Don't dare, I dare not accept it," Man Chong said, turned his head, looked into the distance, and said, "Your Highness, are you having a drink together?"

"Well, this is me"

"Your Highness!" Man Chong said righteously: "Drinking together is forbidden under the law of the Han Dynasty. If it is an imperial banquet, you should invite Xiao Huangmen to come and record everything. It is illegal to gather and drink in private like this. As the prince of the Han Dynasty, Your Highness, How is it possible to act like this?"

Liu Mastiff was dumbfounded, and quickly said: "My mistake, I must pay attention to it in the future."

"And you, Mr. Zhuge, as a young master, you should supervise the prince. Why don't you care about such things?" Man Chong stared at Zhuge Liang who was in the distance, and Zhuge Liang was speechless, obviously he was a young master. He is just a crown prince, why does he feel that he is a head lower than him? He looked at the Han Lu madman in front of him, thought for a moment, and said: "I will definitely not dare in the future."

Liu Mastiff hastily asked people to take away the drinks from the banquet, and called Huangmen, Man Chong was willing to sit down.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere became a little cold, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Liu Mastiff looked at Zhuge Liang who was on the side. Zhuge Liang coughed and said, "Your lords, it all depends on the trust of the emperor. We are officials of the East Palace. In the future, we should support and assist each other, get together more, and help the prince together."

"Han law, officials are not allowed to make friends with party members!" Man Chong said coldly.

"Then let's talk about Cui Gong's prose, this Cui Gong's prose is really well written!"

After chatting for a while, Man Chong got up and said: "Since the officials of the East Palace have been established, Your Highness shouldn't stay in the Taifu's courtyard all day. When you go back to the East Palace, there is also you, Sun Zhongmou, you will come to the East Palace today." Mao, I will cut off your salary in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty!"

Sun Quan's face turned red, he stood up angrily, and argued, "The officials of the Eastern Palace have never been gathered together, and none of the minor officials under my command have been matched."

"Don't forget tomorrow, otherwise, I will definitely play the emperor and abolish your official position!" Man Chong said coldly, bid farewell to Liu Mastiff, and left the courtyard. Liu Mastiff sighed and wiped the pimple on his forehead. Sweating, looking at the crowd, Sun Quan was very wronged, but helpless, Zhuge Liang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Zhongmou, it's okay, although Manjun is harsh, but... him."

Zhuge Liang thought for a long time before saying: "He is fair and upright."

Yuan Shang asked with some uncertainty: "Kong Ming, is this person going to be in charge of all the criminals in the East Palace in the future?"

"Um"

Immediately, Yuan Shang's eyes were blank, his face was pale, and he slumped on his seat.

About a month later, Lu Su arrived here, came to meet the emperor, and then Liu Mastiff.

Standing in front of the door, he knocked on the door of Yuan's mansion. As soon as he knocked the door, the servant immediately came to open the door. After learning his identity, he hurried back to report. Lu Su was waiting outside the door, when he saw someone in the distance He ran over in a hurry, without even putting on his shoes, he hurried up to Lu Su, held her hand, and asked, "But Mr. Lu in person?"

Lu Su nodded blankly.

"Good, great good, Mastiff has heard about Lu Jun's sage for a long time, and I am so happy to see him today. Lu Jun and I should be like the story between Taizu and Liuhou. You are good for me!!" Liu Mastiff Said excitedly.

Lu Su couldn't speak, he just said a few words that he didn't dare, and then he was led by the prince into the study, where he talked all night.

At first, Lu Su only heard about the reputation of the prince's virtuousness. Everyone said that the prince has the legacy of the temple of benevolence, and he is extremely humble. Miao Yifeng, in addition, this His Highness is a knowledgeable and talented prince, and I talked to him about everything, and he answered fluently, some of the words coincided with my own!

On the next day, Liu Mastiff introduced him to the crowd. At first, they were a little disapproving of Lu Su, and they didn't know how a county magistrate in Liangzhou could become a subordinate official of the prince. Cao Pi once said with some contempt: "So what about being the best in scientific research? Zhongmou and I also won the best in law and agriculture this year. Among the people here, who doesn't have the best strength? How can he rank with us?"

Yuan Shang smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

However, when they really got to know this person and talked with this person, they just put away the contempt in their hearts. Zhuge Liang chatted with this person about the New Deal, Zhuge Liang opposed it, and this person supported it. Only then did everyone understand that this man is a great talent, but he just refused to reveal it. Although Zhuge Liang disagreed with his political views, he also valued his talent and respected him.

Soon after, Zhou Yu, Fazheng, and Pang Tong also arrived one after another.

Pang Tong and Fazheng came together. Contrary to what Liu Mastiff thought, Pang Tong did not disagree with Fazheng. The two seemed to have some friendship. Well, both of them are generally arrogant, but Fazheng hides his arrogance in his heart, while Pang Tong directly expresses it in his behavior.

For Pang Tong's almost rude behavior, Liu Mastiff was not angry at all. He is a very humble and gentle person. After talking with them for a long time, he introduced them to everyone. Everyone has a good sense of Fazheng. But Pang Tong was different. He sat there with his head raised high, as if he didn't pay attention to everyone present, which caused many people to be angry.

Of course, Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, and Sima Yi didn't care too much.

When the last Zhou Yu arrives, all the prince's officials will be complete.

Liu Mastiff and everyone returned to the East Palace, and the small temple of the East Palace was established. Everyone came to pay their respects to the last person, Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was not enthusiastic towards Liu Mastiff, and he was not enthusiastic towards the rest of the people. He was different from others. After he became an official, he stayed in Dongyi and Wa Island, fighting everywhere, eliminating bandits and suppressing water bandits, and gained a lot of money. Merit, let him come to serve as the prince's official, but he feels a little uncomfortable. Here, he seems to be a bit out of place with the other officials.

These years of wars have made him mature a lot. What's more, he is already older, and there is really no way to talk with these children in his eyes. Fortunately, Liu Mastiff respects him enough, and even more so. When they met, they held his hand and shouted that the champion was coming, so he didn't play the emperor and asked to return to the barracks.

Now that the officials of the East Palace gathered, everything started to work.

On this day, the emperor called Si Nong Liu Bei.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Bei met the emperor in the Hall of Houde. The emperor smiled and helped him up, chatted with him for a long time, and then said: "Xuande, you have been handling official affairs these days. Being alone makes you tired."

"Don't dare, Your Majesty is so kind, I dare not let you down!"

"Xuande, I feel that with so many things, you can't handle it all by yourself. Well, you and the crown prince will run the official school together. It will make you less tired. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!"

"Hahaha, Xuande doesn't need to be too polite. Most of the people under the prince's command are young and don't know political affairs. Xuande has to watch over them for me. I can't let them make mistakes. I will teach them again. In the future, they will definitely become great! An important minister in the court like Xuande." The emperor stroked his beard and said with a light smile.

"Please!"

Liu Bei took the order.
