Chapter 175 Liu Qis journey to becoming a celebrity(1/2)

Liu Biao was obviously a little drunk today.

When he walked out of the toilet, his steps became more and more light, and he even started to walk in a zigzag route.

But even after drinking like this, Liu Biao still smoothed his clothes and pants neatly without any wrinkles after coming out of the toilet.

He swayed his hands and dipped water in the wooden bucket next to the toilet, tidied his hair and beard, turned around and asked Liu Qi: "How do you look as a father? Are your hair, crown and clothes messy?"

Liu Qi really admired Liu Biao's noble and self-disciplined spirit.

What have you been drinking to make you look beautiful?

Liu Qi looked at him carefully for a while and then said: "My father's appearance is very majestic. Even a young man in his twenties cannot compare to my father's handsomeness...one ten thousandth."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Liu confessed his love to Liu Qi and scolded him, but the smile on the corner of his mouth betrayed the true emotions in his heart at this moment.

This old man still cares a lot about his appearance. When he hears others say that he is handsome, he feels extremely happy.

That expression was clearly one of pleasure and excitement.

The father and son were not in a hurry to return to the banquet. Liu Biao took Liu Qi and sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard, and began to talk.

"My son, at the age of Cai Zhonglang and my father, I have long passed the prime of life. What we have learned in our lives has also been passed down. Seeing how much suffering we have in the past, this is the deepest wish in my heart. My son, you

Do you know why?"

Liu Qi lowered his head and thought carefully.

Irving Yalom, a professor at Stanford University, once said that as time goes by, those who are about to die or will eventually die generally have three ways to overcome their fear of death. One of them is to leave a legacy in the world.

Below can represent something that has existed.

Liu Qi then said to Liu Biao: "My father is equal to Mr. Yuanjie, and Cai Zhonglang is also a famous figure in the world. For you, the deepest wish left in your heart... should be to leave a masterpiece for the world.

Will future generations admire and praise you?"

Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction and said: "I don't think my son can think of this level at such a young age. It's amazing! When I was young, I was not as mature as you... Alas, I actually asked Song Zhongzi to write the "Five Classics Chapters"

, why don’t you want to leave some classic collections for future generations, so that future generations can pass them on from generation to generation and record your father’s merits?”

Liu Qi drew inferences from one instance and said: "Then Cai Zhonglang asked his daughter to engage in five industries in our Jingzhou. It seems that he also wanted to borrow the power of our Jingzhou to compile some kind of classic, so that a hundred years later, he would be relieved of his regrets, right?"

Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction and said: "My son, you are right... A few days ago, my father had a detailed discussion with Cai Zhaoji and learned that among the more than 20,000 classics she brought this time, there was Cai Bozhe,

A copy of the "Han Ji" supplemented by Lu Ziqian, Ma Rixi, Yang Wenxian and others in Dongguan. Now that Dong Zhuo has moved the capital, the Xiliang army is like a tiger and a wolf. It is still unclear whether the original "Han Ji" in Lan Taizhong can be completely moved to Chang'an.

It can be seen that... maybe the copy of "Han Ji" in Jingzhou is the most complete record of Han history in the world."

Liu Qi realized something and said: "I remember that the Han Ji written by Cai Zhonglang, Lu Shangshu and others only recorded the time when the late emperor was in power... Does he want Cai Zhaoji to continue to record "Dongguan Han Ji" in Jingzhou?"

"Yes, Dongguan's ten supplementary records of Han Dynasty are the proud work of Cai Bojie and others in his life. It can be said that he has spent all his efforts. Considering his personality, he naturally wants to continue writing Han Dynasty to pass it on to future generations.

One that will leave its name in history.”

Liu Qi asked: "Does father plan to agree to Cai Zhaoji?"

Liu Biao smiled and said: "Of course I have to agree to her! This is a great thing, but I will not serve as Cai Bojie's foil for nothing. Since this Han Dynasty will be continued in Jingzhou, it cannot be called Dongguan Han from now on."

Remember...it needs to be called..."

"It needs to be called Xiangyang Xuegong Hanji, or Jingzhou Guanxue Hanji, right?" Liu Qi smiled: "Father, by continuing to write Hanji, I want to share a world-class literary reputation with Cai Zhonglang?"

"What do you mean, I divided his literary names?" Liu Biao's face became slightly gloomy, and he was a little unhappy: "The Han Dynasty in the future was not written by Cai Bojie, but by our Liu family.

Without our Liu family, it is still open to question whether his set of Han diaries could be handed down to the world in the future... You can tell yourself whether this is true!"

Liu Qi did not expect that Liu Biao would have such a bandit side.

Alas, I thought he was really a clean slate... I've been misjudged for so many years.

"Yes, it was the child who was talking nonsense." Liu Qi hurriedly apologized with a smile.

Liu Biao continued to argue: "Besides, I already have a good reputation among scholars, and my reputation is already obvious. Now I have to send someone to write the "Five Classics Chapters and Verses". Is it necessary to have the honor of his surname Cai? This reputation

, but I planned it for you!"

"Planning for me?" Liu Qi couldn't help but be startled when he heard this: "What do I want this reputation for?"

Liu Biao said with a smile: "Don't you always want to be like your father and become a well-known scholar in the world? Now the time has come... If you can continue to write Dongguan Hanji, oh no! It is Jingzhou Hanji,

Just by doing this, at your age, you are enough to become famous among the talented scholars in various states, and to be the literary leader of a distinguished generation of nobles. This merit of literary and political achievements is truly incredible!"

Liu Qi smiled helplessly: "Father, I have no intention of becoming a celebrity."

When Liu Qi first entered Taixue, he really wanted to be a celebrity and be famous among the gentry. After all, these days, those who are advertised as famous among the gentry are still very popular.

When Cao Cao was young, he relied on Qiao Xuan, "The world is about to be in chaos, and it can't be saved except by the talents of the world. The one who can bring peace to peace is in your hands." He Yong said: "The Han Dynasty is about to perish, and the one who can bring peace to the world must be the one who brings peace to the world."

This person!", Xu Shao's sentence: "Jun is a traitor in peace and a hero in troubled times." These three comments by three famous figures dominated the political arena of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

This shows that in this era, being able to be advertised by celebrities, or becoming celebrities after being advertised to each other, will bring huge political benefits.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But as he learned more about the world, Liu Qi's desire to become a celebrity began to fade away.

He felt that the era when Confucian classics families monopolized political resources had hindered the civilization of this era from moving forward one step further.

Through filial piety and honesty, the scholars monopolized all the ways to enter the officialdom. Their mutual admiration created a well-defined family society, and they used this chariot-wheel-like employment method to maintain the social operation of this huge country.

However, this mode of operation has already shown its shortcomings and has left this society riddled with holes.

Liu Qi feels that this system should have completed its historical mission.

Objectively speaking, Liu Qi does not think that the inspection system is bad. On the contrary, the inspection system in the Han Dynasty has made an advanced reform for the employment mechanism of subsequent dynasties in China. At least it has elected filial piety and incorruptibility in each county, and the social political power has been changed.

Ports are open to all parts of the country.

Even in economically and culturally backward areas, there are still people who can promote filial piety and integrity to the capital. At least people from all regions have the opportunity to enter the central government. Compared with previous dynasties, this is already a huge improvement.

When the Chaju system was established in the early Han Dynasty, its original intention was not to shape today's situation. However, as time went by and human social institutions gradually improved, various higher-level contradictions emerged, making the Chaju system outdated.

Reform is needed.

There is no system in this world that will always be reasonable. Only a system that is continuously improved with the development of society is the most reasonable.

There was something wrong with the system of the Han Dynasty... When the Tang Dynasty was established, it was natural to change a system that suited the social and national conditions at that time. In the Song Dynasty, it was changed to another system. The same was true in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

Liu Qi will not deny that the inspection system played a necessary historical responsibility at a certain period in history...but now, he personally believes that it is time for this system to be eliminated.

Someone has to step up and do it.



When Liu Biao saw that Liu Qi actually rejected his proposal, he suddenly sobered up.

He stood up suddenly, stared at Liu Qi closely, and said, "Boy, what do you mean by what you just said? What is the road of Wuxin County Wang? What path do you want to take?"

Liu Qi woke up immediately after hearing this.

Although he feels that some things must be eliminated in line with history, he must not reveal his thoughts at the moment.

We must not let anyone know, including Liu Biao.

Otherwise, even if he died eight hundred times, it wouldn't be enough.

"What my child means is that the current situation is uncertain. Jingnan has not yet settled down. Yuan Shu is occupying Nanyang County in the north. At this juncture, how can my child write a book? If he wants to be a famous person, he should share his father's worries.

It’s critical.”

When Liu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

My son is filial.

"Idiot, what's so difficult about such a trivial matter? My father asked me to compile the "Five Classics Chapters", do I still have to compile it myself every day? It wasn't Song Zhongzi and others who took care of it for my father. Now there is Cai Zhaoji in Jingzhou

, just let her continue to write the history of Han Dynasty for your master, what's the difficulty?"

Liu Qi smiled helplessly and said: "But I am already the governor of Nanyang County in name, so how can I interfere in the affairs of Xiangyang Academy?"

Liu Biao laughed again.

That smile was quite enigmatic.

"When did I say that Cai Zhaoji should be engaged in the five industries of Xiangyang Academy? I want to build academies in various places in Jingzhou... there are too many! Could it be that I would really leave a little girl like him in Xiangyang Academy and Song Dynasty?

Zhongzi, Mr. Guangming and others are together? Haha, even if I want to, I'm afraid those two gentlemen will not agree if they keep their identities!"

Liu Qi looked at Liu Biao blankly.

Even though dad is drunk, his mind is still spinning really fast.

You said that if you could use your enthusiasm in the academy to use it more in military strategy... wouldn't there be nothing wrong with Cao Cao and the others in the future?



In the banquet hall.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone in the hall was a little drunk.

Everyone drank and drank, respected each other, raised their wine glasses high, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm.

But there is a long table next to the food table, and the atmosphere between the two people sitting behind it is so chilling...

Cai Mao looked at Cai Xun beside him coldly, his face gloomy.
