Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Main text Chapter 67 Not because of pride, but because of self-confidence

...

Before the meal, Chen Xi looked at Lu Su curiously. From his eyesight, he could see that Mi Zhu was making frequent gestures to Lu Su, but Lu Su neither expressed the intention of refusing, nor expressed the intention of joining. What is this? The situation, is this guy here to visit and travel?

Chen Xi didn't know what to say, and Lu Su himself was a little dazed. Although he didn't have much experience, but the style of the powerful patriarch for many years, it is natural to see that Liu Bei's actions are not pretentious. Compared with Hu Lai's Yuan Shu, Liu Bei obviously meets his selection criteria.

In addition, Mi Zhu has already taken effect, and leaving himself in this unembarrassing situation, it was a good choice to follow Mi Zhu's instructions and defect here. In Lu Su's view, the great rule of the world has nothing to do with the monarch's personal virtue. As long as the public morality is passable and dare to employ people, there will naturally be talents to complete the governance of the world. It is not in line with Lu Su's idea to do everything by himself.

After all, Duke Huan of Qi once asked Guan Zhong honestly, "Xiangguo, you said that I like beautiful women, horse racing, and hunting. I can't walk when I see treasures. This will not affect my becoming the overlord." Chen Xi reckoned Qi When Duke Huan said this, his voice became lower and lower as he said it, and he became more and more confident. When he finally said it, he felt that it was a bit too much.

But Guan Zhong's answer was interesting, he glanced at Duke Huan of Qi and said, "It doesn't matter." When Chen Xi saw this section in the book, he thought, Guan Zhong probably didn't bother to answer, these are nothing serious.

Duke Huan of Qi was overjoyed and asked again, "Then what affects me being the boss?"

Guan Zhong answered solemnly this time, and said solemnly, "If you don't know the wise men, if you know the wise men you don't appoint them, when you appoint them you don't trust them, and when you trust them, you let other villains join you. These things will affect the king's hegemony."

After hearing this, Duke Huan of Qi handed over the position of Prime Minister to Guan Zhong and asked him to manage the country, and he really became the overlord himself.

Lu Su also believed in Guan Zhong's theory. The world cannot be governed by the king alone. What the king should do is to select and appoint talents. Well, Guan Zhong didn't say that Duke Huan of Qi was greedy for money and cheating. What later generations have to say.

Ever since Lu Su saw Chen Xi, who was under the age of twenty, who was ordered by Liu Bei to govern Taishan County, he was immediately satisfied with Liu Bei's meritocracy. Isn't this a model of a monarch in his mind? So what if the age is less than double ten, as long as the monarch is capable, he should be included in the selection ranks.

As for the monarch's personal virtue, Lu Su didn't have too many requirements, be it generosity, benevolence, or greed for money, as long as the country is a meritocracy, at most it will be a headache for his subordinates. At most, it's just a headache, and it won't cause a certain Ming's wonderful disappearance.

It is precisely because of these concepts that after seeing Chen Xi and Liu Bei's deeds, Lu Su has actually recognized Liu Bei, but he is still entangled in his previous thinking. He said that he will visit Taishan County more, and he will fully understand it. After Liu Bei's personality, he can decide whether to join, but if he joins directly now, Lu Su always feels a little too hasty.

"Zichuan, Zijing will be entertained by you. I think the two of you must have a lot to say. If Zizhong doesn't give up, just stay here tonight, Zhongkang." Liu Bei said with a smile. The next gesture finally figured out the meaning, so he made this unnatural treatment.

"Thank you, Lord Xuande." Chen Xi smiled slightly. He really wanted to know how Lu Su, a famous minister of the Three Kingdoms, would evaluate his actions in Mount Tai, whether it was good or bad, and what mistakes or omissions there were.

After leaving Liu Bei's gate, Lu Su finally came to his senses, turned his head to look at Chen Xi and cupped his hands, "Chen Juncheng is really favored by Mr. Xuande..."

The moment he opened his mouth, Lu Su finally realized that something was wrong. Ever since he met Liu Bei and Chen Xi, he had never seen Chen Xi call Liu Bei his lord, and when he greeted him, Chen Xi only took a half-step backward instead of following Liu Bei. He smiled wryly, why didn't he think of such a simple method, and sure enough, the simplest method will always be forgotten.

"You and I are about the same age, so it's better to call them superficial characters." As he said that, Chen Xi took off the hair crown from his head, showing enough sincerity to Lu Su.

Lu Su was taken aback. He understood that he was going to the Banquet of the Crown. It was an unrestrained and equal way of communication, but you were too bold and careless when you did this on the main road. The people in front of him are all gangsters, but they didn't say anything, they just took off their hair crowns silently, "Excuse me for being disrespectful, has Zi Chuan always been so eclectic?"

"It's just that my head is itchy." Chen Xi scratched it twice, and pressed the hair crown on his head casually.

"Hahaha, Zi Chuan is really a wonderful person." Now Lu Su is not as tactful as before, seeing that Chen Xi doesn't care, he laughed.

"Come on, go to my house for tea, and tell me about Mount Tai." Chen Xi said with a smile on his face, tossing his long hair.

"Okay, I also have a lot to ask you, Chen Zichuan!" Lu Su said arrogantly without restraint.

"Then let's make gestures and see if you, Dongcheng Lu Zijing, can refute me, Taishan Chen Zichuan!" Chen Xi laughed.

Chen Xi and Lu Su sat down separately, and soon Chen Lan brought the food, and Fan Jian stayed with her for a while before leaving, closing the door behind her.

"When I saw you, Lu Zijing, I thought you would ask me some questions, so let's come and see. It's a pity that there is no good supper, so let's make do with it." Chen Xi gave Lu Su a glass of fermented glutinous rice, "wine There’s nothing there, drink some of this, it’s quite sweet recently.”

"Is Zi Chuan so sure that I will have questions for you?" Lu Su asked with a smile, "I'm not afraid that my words will be flattery."

"I also accept flattery. How can I say that this is all my merit? Is it possible that I have accepted a little flattery when I ruled the warehouse, and I will teach etiquette soon?" Chen Xi scolded with a smile, "I, Chen Zichuan, work, okay Appreciation will be accepted naturally, and people will not criticize mistakes and correct them."

"As for why you said that you are sure that you must have questions to ask, it is very simple. A wise man in the world who crosses Mount Tai without thinking is definitely not a wise man. I, Chen Zichuan, do not underestimate the world, but I am confident that what I have done before is enough to inspire all passing by. The wisdom of the wise men here." Chen Xi looked arrogant, "Those who can see the problem must be the wise men in the world, those who can feel the problem but don't know where the problem is must be the backbone of the country, as for the people who look at the flowers on horseback, they are just mediocre ministers!"
