"This time, the party members have been openly threatening Your Majesty! Unfortunately, I and others are old and want to do something for Your Majesty, but..." On the way out of the palace, Lu Zhi looked at the distance with a little desolate expression.

"Mr. Lu is getting stronger, how can he say that he is old?" Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "This emergence of this printing technique is an opportunity, but also a great risk for scholars. The court officials have solidified their thoughts and are unwilling to change, so they are so tough. Although this delays for a while, I am afraid that the scholars will join forces to put pressure soon, and then they will only become more cruel."

After looking around, Ye Zhao whispered to Lu Zhi: "And Zhao was worried that if His Majesty's body would be tortured by these scholars if he continued like this, he would be a real blow to me.

"Hmph!" A hint of anger flashed in Lu Zhi's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "If this is true, even if you are fighting for this life, you will also want to protect the great Han Dynasty for Your Majesty."

Ye Zhao just nodded when he heard this and did not respond. With the current situation, if Liu Hong is there, the Han Dynasty can continue. Once Liu Hong falls, neither Liu Bian nor Liu Xie will be able to withstand the burden of the Han Dynasty. This cannot be reversed by one or two people.

"Xu Ming, I have something to ask you." When I walked outside the palace gate, Lu Zhi did not get into the sedan chair, but continued to walk with Ye Zhao.

"Master Lu has something to say, but it doesn't matter." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"This matter has been lingering in my heart for several years, and today I still can't help but want to ask Xiu Ming." Lu Zhi looked at Ye Zhao, as if he was a little unspeakable.

"Why should Master Lu and I be so polite? Several years..." At the end of his speech, Ye Zhao suddenly moved his heart and looked at Lu Zhi and said, "Master Lu wants to ask Liu Bei?"

When Liu Bei was tired, Ye Zhao was almost wiped out. In anger, Ye Zhao wanted to punish Liu Bei for his crimes. Even if he didn't kill him, he would knock him to pieces.

Huangfu Song originally said that he would take care of Lu Zhi's face, but Ye Zhao knew that there was more or less that Huangfu Song wanted to hit him. Now that time has changed, Ye Zhao actually no longer wanted to worry about the original matter. If Lu Zhi had not mentioned it, this matter would have been forgotten by Ye Zhao long ago.

"Cultivate and intelligent." Lu Zhi nodded and said, "I have many disciples in my life. If I value it the most, one is Gongsun Zan, Yuyang. This son is strong and has a heroic spirit, and has military strategy. In terms of the world, he can also be listed as the first-class, but his temperament is a bit stubborn, and these two are Xuande."

"Liu Bei is a man with great ambition and talent. Zhao really doesn't know what kind of virtue he can get Lu Shi valued?" Ye Zhao looked at Lu Zhi. This was also a problem he had been unable to understand. Judging from Liu Bei's performance at that time, he was a little brave and a little cunning, but that's all. At least he was in command of troops and combat. Liu Bei was really not outstanding at that time.

"Xuande likes delicious food and gorgeous clothes. Sometimes, he is too... frivolous..." Lu Zhi didn't know how to evaluate the shortcomings of his disciple for a while. In fact, if these problems were placed on the children of aristocratic families, even Ye Zhao, there was no problem. The conditions in their family could completely allow them to have sufficient material conditions to pursue these things, but Liu Bei was different. His father died early and he made a living with his mother. Simply put, Liu Bei's family was completely ineligible to let him squander so much.

Ye Zhao looked at Lu Zhi without answering. He believed that if Liu Bei was just like this, it would be impossible for Lu Zhi to take it seriously.

"However, this son is tough by nature and unyielding. I have seen countless people throughout my life. However, his ambition is so strong that few people can do it. However, his background is too low and he always wants to interact with famous scholars, likes Chinese clothing and delicacies, and also hopes to be able to make friends with famous scholars. It's a pity..." Lu Zhi sighed and did not continue.

Ye Zhao suddenly understood Liu Bei. In this era when his family origins were almost a shattering future, Liu Bei was like those little people in comedy. In order to get himself on the stage and join the circle that he envied, he worked hard to package himself and pretend to be fat. It was not really luxurious, but just to avoid being despised and make himself more like the characters in that circle. It was just ability, and his origin was by no means a gorgeous costume or food could make up for it. So this was destined to be a tragedy.

Moreover, after seeing it many times, Liu Bei naturally realized the reality. In fact, by the time Ye Zhao met Liu Bei, Liu Bei had no longer had these problems. His clothes were not luxurious, but they were very neat. Unfortunately, his abilities were still not enough. Moreover, Liu Bei was still a little ambitious at that time. Ye Zhao made friends with kindness, but he was determined to climb Huangfu Song's thigh, which eventually led to Ye Zhao's disgust. Huangfu Song never looked at him from beginning to end.

"Mr. Lu should have known about the matter at that time. Because he underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, our army was almost wiped out. If it were not for the friendship between Mr. Lu, Zhao really wanted to deal with his military law!" Ye Zhao shook his head and looked at Lu Zhi and said, "I have not pursued this matter again since then. Mr. Lu mentioned this person today, but why did he do?"

"Cao Ming can tell what happened to Xuande after he left?" Lu Zhi looked at Ye Zhao and said.

"I don't know." Ye Zhao shook his head. No matter at that time or now, Liu Bei could only be considered a small shrimp in front of Ye Zhao. No matter how high Liu Bei achieved in history, now Liu Bei, Ye Zhao really lacked the mood of watching him directly, let alone pay attention to him.

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, based on his merits, I wanted him to take the position of a county magistrate. Although he was not high, he had an identity. However, when the merits were recorded at that time, because the battle in Xi'e was not only useless, but he had a mistake. He only thought about my face and had not been punished, but sent him back to his original home and would not be rewarded."

Ye Zhao nodded. He didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. With Liu Bei's mistake at that time, this ending was already considered very good.

"The general ordered Wuqiu Yi to recruit soldiers from Danyang two years ago. Xuande joined. He fought with the thieves in Xia Pi and was appointed as the Xiami Cheng. Not long after, for some reason, he resigned from office and refused to serve as the commander of the government. Later, I represented him as the Gaotang Weiwei, and later became the Gaotang Order for his contribution to the Jin Dynasty. However, soon after, Gaotang was defeated by the thieves, so the official position was naturally lost."

Ye Zhao looked at Lu Zhi speechlessly. In just a few years, Liu Bei's life has been really ups and downs, but it seems that it has nothing to do with him, right?

"Mr. Lu has something to say, why not say it bluntly. If he can do it, Zhao will not refuse." Ye Zhao sighed and looked at Lu Zhi. He probably knew what Lu Zhi wanted to do. He just came for Liu Bei's request for official positions. Now, there is only Ye Zhao in the imperial party who holds real power. He cannot ask He Jin because of Liu Bei.

"Now that Xuande has gone to Bo Gui's tent, it is limited to the previous city breaking, and it is difficult to obtain official titles. So I came to ask for my husband with a letter." Lu Zhi looked at Ye Zhao and smiled bitterly.

"Youzhou?" Ye Zhao's heart moved when he heard this. Now Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, has gradually settled in the position of governor, but Gongsun Zan's reputation has become stronger and stronger. He has been in Youzhou and is very clear that the people in Youzhou are strong. Liu Yu's policy of gentleness is not very generous in Youzhou. But in terms of governance, Liu Yu is obviously stronger than Gongsun Zan, but in terms of military strength, Gongsun Zan is obviously stronger and more popular. If it is not Gongsun Zan who commands Youzhou in the future but Liu Yu or Liu Bei, I wonder if Yuan Shao can still sweep the four states and become the overlord of the north?

"Since Master Lu spoke, Zhao will help him again. I will recommend him to the Shangshutai tomorrow. Liu Youzhou has just arrived in Youzhou and is surrounded by military generals. When I saw that his three brothers were brave, I recommended Liu Bei as the commander, Zhang Fei assisted him, and Guan Yu was quite arrogant. I want to recommend him as Sima of another unit under Gongsun Bogui. I wonder what Lu's intentions are?"

Ye Zhao has always wanted to separate the three brothers, but there was no chance. In addition, Ye Zhao has been busy with disputes between the court in recent years and has no time to care about the other side. Now that Lu Zhi has taken the initiative to talk about Xiang, he just took this opportunity to separate Guan Yu and Liu Bei. With this kind of kindness, he will have some friendship with Guan Yu in the future. As long as the time is ripe, he may not be able to fight for Guan Yu.

"If Xiuming said this, I will feel relieved." Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and thanked Ye Zhao.

"Mr. Lu doesn't have to do this. Zhao has no relatives in the court over the years. If it weren't for the help of Lu, how could he be today?" Ye Zhao sighed. With Lu Zhi's personality, being able to look down on his face and seek each other, which also shows his importance to Liu Bei.

"Wu Ming can achieve today's achievements, all depends on Xiu Ming's own achievements. What's the use of me?" Lu Zhi shook his head and waved his hand and smiled: "If there is a chance in the future, Xuande can enter the capital, I should ask him to apologize to Xiu Ming in person."

"Lu Shisheng is so serious." Ye Zhao smiled and shook his head. What the old man said might be sincere. He also believed that with Liu Bei's character, if he could enter Beijing, even if Lu Zhi said it, he would come to apologize in person. However, Ye Zhao did not think that Liu Bei had the opportunity to enter Beijing. If possible, he hoped to give Liu Bei to Youzhou, and he might have achieved success. However, Youzhou is a barren land, which has already limited Liu Bei's future. It is not that the earlier he rises, the faster he will develop, the earlier he rises, and sometimes the faster he will die.

After deciding on Liu Bei's affairs, Lu Zhi did not leave, but discussed the current situation with Ye Zhao and headed towards Cai Yong's mansion.

Now the scholars are already in a hurry to jump over the wall. He Jin is still used as a gun by the scholars. Ye Zhao is too lazy to go on demand for He Jin again. However, the imperial party is in decline and urgently needs people like Cai Yong, who are highly respected, to come out and hold up a flag to fight against the scholars.

Although Ye Zhao was famous and trusted by the emperor, the weight was still too light in the scholars. If Cai Yong could be brought out and Lu Zhi could be combined with him, he could have won the pure currents such as Ma Rizhao to the imperial party to balance the current situation in the court.
