C55 One Should Not Hold Back in Trying to Recruit Talent

Noon, Ji County County, In the living room.

This place was where Liu He usually took a nap. It was spotlessly clean with a desk, bookcase and five round stools inside. The desk was filled with all kinds of files, the shelves were neatly filled with dozens of books, the majority of them were the Great Han Dynasty's Law Encyclopedia. Under the narrow window, a large brazier was burning brightly, bringing warmth to the small room.

Liu He was sitting behind his desk, frowning. He was staring at the teacup on the table in front of him, as if a few flowers had suddenly appeared on it.

Gongsun Xu was sitting on a round stool opposite Liu He, leisurely sipping his tea.

"You really want to do this?" After a long while, Liu He looked up at Gongsun Xu and asked bitterly.

Gongsun Xu paused for a moment and said coldly, "Brother and Son (Liu He), even if they didn't do what they did today, based on the beastly deeds they did, shouldn't they be heavily punished?"

"This …" Liu He smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer.

When Liu Ji, Wang Liang and the rest were brought to the county magistrate's office, they were already in a daze. Liu He asked a few questions, and they all confessed to the crime that Ku Le had announced. Liu He was furious to the point that he wanted to kill Liu Ji and the others on the spot. However, he had his own reasons. Not only could he not punish those scholars on the spot, but he also had to find a way to gain Gongsun Xu's understanding and try his best to save Liu Ji and the others' lives.

However, from Gongsun Xu's attitude, Liu He didn't have much hope for this. Of course, he didn't want to get entangled with Gongsun Xu at all for Liu Ji and the others.

"I know that my son and brother have their own difficulties!" Your father is a noble and pure person, this must have nothing to do with him! That being the case, "Gongsun Xu looked into Liu He's eyes and asked in a deep voice," Why can't I tell you the truth? You and I are fellow soldiers who have experienced life and death situations.

Liu He smiled bitterly again. After not seeing Gongsun Xu for ten months, his eloquence had increased, and his skin had become thicker and darker. Liu He laughed bitterly again, and after not seeing Gongsun Xu for ten months, his tongue had become stronger and his skin had become thicker and darker. Furthermore, my father and Gongsun Zan seem to be working together, but in reality, they are still sworn enemies, alright? You, Gongsun Zimin, can speak lies without batting an eyelid. You are indeed a formidable person!

"I have come to inquire about it because I respect my son, brother and senior. If I want to know more, I will have to put in a little bit of effort."

"Forget it." Liu He sighed. "Zheng Xuanzheng sent a message, I have to talk about the best I can."

"Zheng Xuanzheng?" Gongsun Xu thought about it and had no impression of him at all.

"It's the head of the Youzhou's government, Zheng Jin." Liu He saw through Gongsun Xu's doubt and explained it to him. Then he added, "Zheng Jin is the nephew of Master Kang Cheng. My father is on good terms with Kang Cheng, so I won't give this face."

"Duke Kang Cheng?" Gongsun Xu was confused.

Liu He rubbed his forehead and said softly, "The great scholar Zheng Xuan is a successful man."

"So it's him!" Gongsun Xu was suddenly enlightened. Even though he didn't know anything about the Confucian classics, but he had heard of the names of Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, and Zhao Qi. The person he was most familiar with was, of course, Cai Yong. This person had a well-known but ill-fated daughter, Cai Yan.

Gongsun Xu remembered that Cai Yan was kidnapped by the Huns during the chaos between Li Que and Guo Si, which only happened in the last two years. Since he had thought of Cai Yan by mistake, he might as well send someone to investigate and see if he could change the tragic fate of this talented girl who had been kidnapped by the Huns.

Liu He sighed, "Since Zi Minxiong knows Kang Cheng's name, I believe he can understand my difficulties now, right?"

"What is your esteemed self thinking about this matter?" Gongsun Xu probed. Although the morally noble Liu Yu's chances of pleading for leniency for those guys were slim, if Liu Yu really opened his mouth, there was no harm in giving him face. In any case, the reputation of Liu Ji and the rest were all rotten beyond belief.

"Sigh." Liu He gave a long sigh and said sadly, "My father became sick from working hard and passed out in the morning. He still hasn't woken up yet!"

"What?" Gongsun Xu was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Did you ever ask Godly Doctor Hua to come here for treatment?"

"He's been invited."

"What was the result?"

"I don't know either. Godly Doctor Hua just arrived at Zi Minxiong."

Gongsun Xu smiled apologetically as he stood up and cupped his hands, "In that case, I will take my leave first. I will put those guys in jail and deal with them after a few days."

"Zi Minxiong, hold on!" Liu He called out to Gongsun Xu, stood up and walked a few steps back from the desk, then said with a serious expression: "Please tell Marquis Jin that my father is old and weak, and can no longer hold the post of Youzhou's Patriarch. Please rest assured, Marquis Jin and Zi Minxiong, that my father will abide by the three year agreement and will absolutely not play any tricks that will cause him to lose face! "

If Liu Yu did not toil day and night, the citizens of Youzhou would surely be greatly shocked. Too bad. Neither he nor his father, Gongsun Zan, had the ability to take on a bunch of bad things from Liu Yu.

"How can we do that!?" Your esteemed lord is highly respected, who else is capable of being the Youzhou's Mu but him? I hope that your son and brother can advise your esteemed self otherwise, the people of Youzhou cannot leave your esteemed self! " Gongsun Xu quickly came back to his senses and begged Liu He sincerely.

"Hehe." Liu He sneered, shook his head and said, "Zi Minxiong, my father has fully understood what happened at the execution ground that day!"

"Cough!" Even though Gongsun Xu had a thick skin and a dark heart, he was almost choked to death by his own saliva. He had successfully coaxed Liu Yu to work so hard for his father and son, and was complacent for such a long time, but unexpectedly, Liu Yu was able to see through him. Now, Gongsun Xu wanted to continue fooling him in front of his son, but was mercilessly exposed.

"Haha!" Liu He couldn't help laughing and teasing him when he saw the awkward look on his face. "I thought Zi Minxiong wouldn't blush at all!"

"Ha, ha, ha." Gongsun Xu didn't know what to say other than giggling.

Liu He didn't seem to mind as he changed the topic. "I heard that Zi Minxiong has mastered a method to produce books quickly?"

Gongsun Xu was slightly surprised: "How did he and his brother know?"

Liu He didn't answer and continued, "After the appearance of Cai Hou's paper, the books are cheaper and lighter, but it's impossible to copy a book in a few days. It's still very difficult for poor citizens to learn how to read and write. If Zi Minxiong could really produce books quickly, he would definitely garner the gratitude and admiration of all the scholars in the world! "

Liu He paused for a second and looked at Gongsun Xu. He continued, "Zi Minxiong is big and treats his men and civilians well, but Zi Minxiong must not underestimate the power of a scholar. Otherwise, even if there were to be a change in the future, Zi Minxiong will only be the second Chen Sheng."

Gongsun Xu was extremely shocked. Liu He was a member of the royal family, and was also the son of the patriarch Liu Yu, who was loyal to the Han Dynasty. Liu He's words made sense. Chen Sheng's loss was mainly because he didn't have the support of the scholars or the tyrants of the six nations' families. However, Gongsun Xu had a different path to walk, so he wasn't too worried about the support of the aristocratic families.

"Why are you telling this to me?" After pondering for a moment, Gongsun Xu decided to ask directly.

"My father and I have very different views." Liu He sighed, and explained in the first sentence, "My father values the people, and worked so hard to let the people live a good life. His goal is to make the people loyal to the government, and do his best to keep this crumbling Great Han Dynasty alive! I also want to let the people live a good life, but I also want to expand my ambition, as for who is sitting in that seat, it doesn't matter! That Liu Xie, I wish I could eat it alive! "

Gongsun Xu was silent for a moment and then asked: "Your son and brother are relatives in the Royal Family, and your father is the most respected family member. Why would your son and brother have such thoughts?"

"This is a long story." Liu He shook his head and sighed, before revealing a piece of secret.

Two years ago, Li Que, Guo Si, killed his way into Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie, escaped under the protection of Dong Cheng (the father of Liu Xie's imperial concubine, Dong Clan). In order to prevent Li Que from establishing a new ruler in the Chang'an City, he ordered all his clansmen to flee with him. In order to escape quickly, Liu Tie ordered Yu Lin Wei to abandon the clan relatives and flee with Liu Xie and his imperial concubines. They were captured by Li Que before they could escape far, Liu Xie was then placed under house arrest in the palace, and as for those who were abandoned by them, they had a miserable ending, the men were all beheaded, regardless of age or age, they were all humiliated and died on the spot. Liu He's ex-wife and her beloved son died on the spot.

'The Liu family has a tradition of abandoning their loved ones and running away. When Liu Bang was being hunted down by Xiang Yu, he actually pushed his own children out of the carriage three times in order to make the carriage run faster. If it wasn't for Xia Hou's help, how would there be Emperor Han Huidi and Grand Princess Lu Yuan afterwards? ' Gongsun Xu muttered to himself as he listened. This paragraph about Liu Bang's black history was very widely spread.

"When my father heard the news, he was also furious. However, his loyalty to the Emperor was deeply rooted, and although he was angry, he did not have the slightest bit of resentment. Instead, he repeatedly warned them not to resent the Imperial Family! How could I forget such a deep hatred? Li Que, Guo Si, and Liu Xie deserve to die! " Liu He's tone was indignant, and tears rolled down his cheeks as he said the last two lines.

Gongsun Xu advised: "Brother and son, please don't be sad! Li Que Guo Si reversed, defeated within days! That Dong Cheng is too talented, he will die a violent death sooner or later! "

"Even if they are all dead, my revenge is still incomplete!" Liu He gritted his teeth as his face twitched ferociously, "Only if Liu Xie dies will I be able to face my wife in the underworld!"

Gongsun Xu sighed, "Brother and son, Liu Xie is the Son of Heaven after all. Unless I can sweep the world, I can't help him no matter what!"

Liu He wiped his eyes. Suddenly, he brushed his sleeves and bowed. "I am willing to win over the hearts of the scholars for Zi Minxiong. I just want a promise from Zi Minxiong!"

"Brother and son need not be so courteous!" Gongsun Xu quickly went over to help Liu He up as he said solemnly, "I hereby swear that I will definitely fulfill my wish!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Ignoring Gongsun Xu's persuasion, Liu He kneeled down and saluted.

"What are Zi and brother planning to do?" Gongsun Xu asked with a smile as he helped Liu He up again.

"Liu Ji and the rest are still useful. May you allow me to do whatever I want with them."

"Alright!" "What else is there?"

"After my father requests Youzhou to submit, this subordinate will recommend someone to you. I hope Master can persuade Marquis Jin to agree to this matter."

"Who?"

"The Shanyang Person, Wang Zhong Xuan, is from a distinguished family. His great-grandfather, Wang Gong, was once Grand Commandant. His grandfather, Wang Chang, was also a disciple of Sikong. The reputation of the Wang Family is well-known. In the past, Wang Zhongxuan was given a room full of books by the great scholar Cai Yong, and he even boasted that he was a peerless genius. In an instant, his name spread throughout the world. "Wang Zhongxuan is currently disappointed by Liu Biao. If the lord can get his help, then the world's scholars will definitely come one after another!"

Wang Chao was later called the leader of the Jianan Seven, and was also known as' Cao Wang 'along with Cao Zhi. There were many poems and poems.

"I'm afraid it's just a one-sided show!" Gongsun Xu shook his head and said, "I will not hide it from you and your brother now. Even if I succeed in chasing the deer in the future, I will not be the only one who dares to practice the Confucianism."

"My lord, you are wrong!" Liu He shook his head and explained, "My lord might not know, ever since the great chaos, many knowledgeable people have been reflecting on the veracity of the 'Solitary Sword Technique', so the ones who came to seek refuge are not necessarily the disciples of the Confucian School. It is said that Master is going to build a medical academy in the Youzhou, is that true? "

"That's exactly what happened."

"Since you wish to restore hundreds of families to their former glory, why don't you build a school of law, Mo, and Zongheng as well as other schools of thought at the same time to recruit different kinds of talents? Furthermore, from what I know, Wang Zhongxuan knows all the different families, and seems to be biased towards the Mo family. "

"Hmm?" Gongsun Xu was surprised for a moment, and then joyously said, "Zi is very kind! I didn't think of that! That's right, since I want to restore the Hundred Clashes, how can I build just a medical academy? Of course he had to go through a major special cultivation! As long as you are truly capable, no matter which school you're teaching, I will accept it! If you want talent, then you have to 'take them for granted'! "

Liu He sighed, "Master is wise and wise, this subordinate is very pleased!"

Gongsun Xu smiled and asked, "Since Zi He has put forward this idea, is it possible for you to be involved in this matter?"

"Thank you for the lord's trust, this subordinate truly wishes for it!" Liu He bowed and expressed his gratitude with great excitement. If all the universities were built by themselves, then in the future, they would all have the feeling of burning incense. This was a huge human relationship!

"The address will be in Youzhou City. I will have someone deliver 50,000 slots to you first, if not enough, we can dial later."

"My lord, rest assured, your subordinate will not disappoint you!" "However, the lord wants to move the barracks to Tianjin and pay the soldiers. I wonder if there's enough money and food?"

"Haha, Zi He only needs to be assured and do what he needs to do. There is no need to worry about money and food. I have my own opinions."

"Since that's the case, your subordinate shall immediately send the cultivation book to Wang Chao. Your highness, please wait quietly for the good news!"

"Good!" Son He, if your father wants to return to your hometown, Tan City, I can agree to that! I won't go visit your father. If you need any medicinal ingredients or anything else, just open your mouth. "

"Thank you for your concern, my lord." Liu He thanked him and said, "Master, you don't have to worry about such a small matter. I will discuss it with my father."

Gongsun Xu nodded, turned around and walked out of the living room.

Liu He walked to the door and watched Gongsun Xu disappear. After closing the door, he turned around and sat down. He murmured something under the beam above his head and remained motionless for a long time.
