Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

In fact, the most important reason why Fu Wan recommended Liu Bei to return to Chang'an was that as the second imperial examination progressed, more and more people in the court chose to stand behind Lu Bu, including those scholars who used to be sworn in with Lu Bu. He chose to stand behind Lu Bu.

Everyone seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and scholars are not outside the scope of human beings. There are many scholars in the world, and there will inevitably be staunch warriors who stick to their own positions and sacrifice their lives for them.

But when the general situation became clear and the imperial examination was forcibly smoothed by Lu Bu, it became clear that in order for the future aristocratic family to maintain their own interests, the interest here was not that Lu Bu would guarantee their family wealth, but that after joining Lu Bu, they would still have the opportunity to pass The ability to enter the imperial examination and become an official may be lost, but the right to speak must be retained.

Even if it's a fair competition, aristocratic families don't actually have to worry about being replaced by a poor family. The two sides have different resources. Although it can't be said that the talent of a poor family is inferior, being in a wealthy family can have a stable environment and can spend money and connections to find them. Relatively speaking, famous teachers have a higher chance of becoming talented than those from humble families.

It's just that this position is not as stable as before. If you are not careful, you may be squeezed out by a poor family.

In short, the number of people standing on the side of the emperor is actually constantly decreasing. Even if Lu Bu does not have much intention to seize the throne, with the death of Cai Yong and the rapid loss of the imperial party, Fu Wanjue should still strengthen his efforts. .

The imperial party here is not a party, just like Cai Yong. He is closer to Lu Bu, but he always considers himself a Han official and always stands on the side of the emperor in orthodoxy. Although he has never opposed Lu Bu, his Attitude and influence have also been restricting Lu Bu.

Although Lu Bu never thought about taking down Liu Xie, Cai Yong's existence still gave these imperialists a sense of stability. Now that Cai Yong is gone, even if Lu Bu's attitude towards the emperor has not changed, the people in the court have not changed. The situation and the will of the people have gradually come to Lu Bu's side.

In order to strengthen the imperial power, the imperial party headed by Fu Wan hoped to bring Liu Bei in to strengthen the imperial party's power.

When Liu Bei returned to Chang'an, Lu Bu went to Beigong City but did not see him. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were naturally happy to know that Liu Bei had returned to Chang'an. The three brothers gathered together to chat.

"Brother, you are now considered to be the ninth minister, why are you unhappy?" Guan Yu came back from changing defenses that day. He saw Liu Bei in a daze in the courtyard and came over with some doubts.

"Years ago, the Ministry of Officials had already wanted to ask Brother Wei to return to Chang'an to take over as Jing Zhaoyin. They also asked Brother Wei about his intention, but I don't know why Brother Wei was asked to come back and take over Zongzheng?" Liu Bei felt a little confused. Did he offend Lu Bu? no?

Zong Zheng was nominally ranked among the Nine Qings and had a lofty status, but in fact, Zong Zheng was in charge of the clan and had basically no real power, otherwise Liu Zhang would not have committed suicide by eating, drinking and having fun all day long.

For this reason, Lu Bu personally went to Shuzhong to clarify the matter to Shuzhong officials, because he was afraid that Shuzhong would cause trouble because of Liu Zhang's death.

Now that he was recalled as Zongzheng, Liu Bei was a little baffled.

"I know about this." Zhang Fei heard this and said, "Lao Dian told me that it seemed that day in the main hall, the abbot had finished his memorial and hoped that my brother would come back to take over the position of Zongzheng."

Liu Bei frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't seem to have any grievances after following Fu Wan, right? What are you doing?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a guest coming in, bowing to Liu Bei and saying, "My lord, General Fu Wan of the auxiliary country sent someone to deliver the invitation."

Guan Yu reached out to take the invitation and handed it to Liu Bei, frowning and saying, "What does Fu Wan mean?"

After Liu Bei read the invitation, he shook his head and said, "I don't know about the circles under my eyes. I'll tell you later after I meet the person."

Two days later, Liu Bei brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Fu Wan's house for a banquet. Fu Wan only invited Liu Bei to the banquet and did not bring anyone else. When he saw Liu Bei, he quickly welcomed him in.

"Is Zongzheng still used to living in Chang'an these days?" Fu Wan looked at Liu Bei and asked with a smile.

"It's acceptable. I've heard about the name of the state leader for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't been able to visit you. Today, I asked the state leader to invite you. It's really a mistake." Liu Bei responded with a smile: "Thanks to the title of Zongzheng this time. The head of state."

"You don't have to be like this, Duke Xuande. With the reputation of Duke Xuande, he is well-deserved to be appointed Zongzheng." Fu Wan said with a smile.

"Huh!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly. Liu Bei could bear it, but he couldn't bear this hypocritical look.

Fu Wan looked at Zhang Fei in confusion and then at Liu Bei: "What does General Yide mean?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Fei ignored Liu Bei's obstruction and snorted coldly: "The imperial court has intended to transfer my brother to be Jing Zhaoyin. The document was issued a month ago, but for no reason I was recruited by you to do Zong Zheng!"

"Yide, don't be rude!" Liu Bei waved his hand, cupped his hands to Fu Wan and said, "Don't blame me, my father-in-law. My third brother has a somewhat upright temperament and doesn't know how to behave. I offended the king's father-in-law. I hope you'll forgive me."

Fu Wan was in a daze, looking at Zhang Fei speechless. After a long time, he said in a solemn voice: "Is this true?"

"The Ministry of Personnel does have documents, but Bei is a Han official, and the imperial court also has its own considerations. No matter where he goes, he is working for the imperial court, and there is no difference." Seeing Fu Wan's appearance, Liu Bei comforted him with a smile.

"Hey, the difference is huge!" said one side with a mouth full of laughter.

"Yide!" Liu Bei's tone became more serious. He glared at Zhang Fei, knelt down and said, "I think the father-in-law came here out of good intentions, not because he wants to harm me."

Fu Wan smiled wryly and nodded: "Since Duke Bojie left, there have been more and more calls to the center to appeal to the Taiwei, and some people even openly want to ask His Majesty to give in!"

When Liu Bei heard this, his expression also darkened. Naturally, he could not allow this to happen. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also frowned slightly and did not say anything. This matter is not a small matter.

"There are fewer and fewer people who are willing to stand by Your Majesty. On the contrary, there are more and more people who support Lieutenant Lu. So..." Fu Wan looked at Liu Bei and said, "It is I who ruined Mr. Xuande's future. Passed."

"I have already explained before that it is not the fault of the emperor." Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Bijiu is in Feng Yi. He doesn't know the situation in the capital, but he doesn't know what the captain means?"

Fu Wan hesitated for a moment and did not answer directly: "In this current situation, what does Taiwei mean? What does Xuande Gong think it means?"

"What do you mean by this?" Liu Bei frowned.

"If everyone wants him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and wants His Majesty to abdicate, do you think Xuande will refuse?" Fu Wan sighed.

Liu Bei did not answer, but his brows gradually tightened.

"Many things are just like this. I also think about your majesty, so I invited Duke Xuande back to Chang'an. This department is responsible for the promotion, promotion, rewards and punishment of officials. Most of the personnel transfers are reported to the Taiwei Mansion instead of the imperial court. I really don't know about this. I'm offended. I hope Duke Xuande will forgive me!" Fu Wan sighed.

"I don't dare." Liu Bei quickly supported Fu Wan, who stood up and wanted to bow down and apologize. He sighed and said, "Bei is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Although the Taiwei and Bei had the kindness to meet each other, if it really comes to the end of the relationship between the Taiwei and Bei, On the day of your Majesty's confrontation, I am willing to cut off my arm in repayment for the Taiwei's kindness in knowing me, but I will also defend my Han Dynasty ancestral temple to the death. This ancestral position is exactly what I want."

After hearing this, Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Guan and Zhang.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei just stood behind Liu Bei, but their position was already clear. They did admire Lu Bu, but if Lu Bu really wanted to bully the emperor and usurp the throne, they would still have to fight him even if they couldn't beat him.

These two people are truly loyal people!

Although the two did not speak, some things did not need to be said at all. Liu Bei was really lucky to have these two people helping him.

Liu Bei's attitude was probably confirmed, and he didn't go into details after Fu. Today was a banquet for Liu Bei, so the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Liu Bei also asked some questions about Chang'an. Overall, the banquet was a great pleasure for both the guests and the host.

"Brother, is what the father-in-law said true?" After the banquet, on the way home, Zhang Fei finally couldn't help but ask, if Liu Bei really wanted to rebel against Lu Bu, they would naturally side with Liu Bei, but things Zhang Fei didn't believe it if it was really what Fu Wan said. After all, he had been listening to Lu Bu during this period and had a pretty good impression of Lu Bu.

Whether in the military or among the people, they never stopped praising Lu Bu. After hearing this for a long time, he naturally had a greater sense of trust in Lu Bu. On the contrary, Zhang Fei always felt a little wretched after finishing this person.

"Half true and half false." Liu Bei rubbed his temples helplessly. By the time he was halfway through drinking, he had already figured it out. After Fu came back to him, he did have the intention of strengthening the imperial party, but he also had the intention of letting himself take the lead. , Fu Wan did not dare to confront Lu Bu head-on, so he wanted to find Liu Bei to come and stand on the front line against Lu Bu.

But who is Liu Bei? After all, he has been a prince. Fu Wan's performances are not superb for Liu Bei, but the problems Fu Wan raised are not without purpose.

With Lu Bu's current prestige in Guanzhong, it would be easy to get the throne. Judging from Lu Bu's attitude, it seems that he really has no intention of arrogance. But when things have reached the point where they are today, more and more people are coming behind Lu Bu and pushing him. If you want to stop moving forward, you must have enough strength to resist these people and stop Lu Bu's progress.

From this point of view, there is no harm in forming an alliance with the other party. The imperial court really needs a new force to suppress the power behind Lu Bu, and dare to stand up and suppress the other party's power.

Although Fu Wan may have been used as a spearman, someone must be the spearman for this gun. Now that he has been found, he can do it himself.

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, looked at Liu Bei and said, "What are you going to do, brother?"

"No matter what, as a member of the Han clan, I have to do some things." Liu Bei said solemnly.

"Yu is willing to accompany my brother to do anything, even if the heaven and the earth are overturned, he will die without a burial place and no regrets!" Guan Yu said solemnly.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Brother, I am the same!"

Liu Bei looked at the two brothers, smiled and nodded: "Good brothers."

"Then what to do next?" Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei and asked.

"Since the imperial power is weak, then strengthen the imperial power. I will recommend Gongtai to serve as an official!" Liu Bei thought for a while and said. The problem now is that there are too many people supporting Lu Bu. The top priority is to strengthen the power of the emperor to balance it...
