Chapter 4: The first section of the separatist heroes

In February of the spring of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), in the spring of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Takatajin, a man with a medium figure, a long sword hanging on his waist, a hair like grass, and a miserable face walked down from an Izumo merchant ship, carefully walked past the cabin and stepped onto the shore. At that moment, the man closed his eyes, raised his face and took a deep breath of the wet air, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

In the cabin behind him, a man dressed in a businessman ran out, and called out in a stack of calls, "Mr. Shan, walk slowly."

Hearing this, the man turned around and faced the little businessman, and asked with bright eyes: "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?"

The merchant surnamed Chen sincerely handed over a letter and explained: "I talked with you all the way, thanking you that you will never abandon me, and made friends with me, a small businessman. Now that you want to go on the road alone to find friends, I will do my best for you. This is a letter, and you can go to Pingyuan County Government to exchange for road signs (identity signs). With the road signs, it will be convenient for you to walk in Qingzhou."

After saying that, the businessman surnamed Chen added proudly: "If you don't say anything else, we little businessmen in Qingzhou are still capable. We introduce a few people to find friends in Qingzhou, and the government will give you some face."

Mr. Shan bowed his hand slightly and thanked him, "That's it, thank you Brother Chen." Then he reached out to take the letter and put it in his arms.

The merchant surnamed Chen frowned slightly, looked at Mr. Shan's sword hanging on his waist, and sighed and said, "Mr. Shan, if you leave Pingyuan County, you'd better put away the sword on your waist. In the territory under Xuande Gong, except for Qingzhou Pingyuan County, Yanzhou Taishan County, and Xuzhou Langya County, the sword control is slightly relaxed, in other areas, only meritorious people and scholars can wear bows and arrows with them. If you don't have the identity of meritorious people and scholars, who carry swords and arrows with you, your crimes should be killed. When you travel to Qingzhou, you will not want to get into trouble, so you can sell your swords and swords on the plains. When your husband returns, you will buy swords and arrows in Pingyuan, Taishan and Langya counties. I believe that the quality of that sword must be better than that of yours."

Mr. Shan asked in surprise: "Brother Chen, thank you for your care. However, isn't Qingzhou still frequent wars? As far as I know, the Yellow Turban Army and the Qingzhou Army have fought no less than 10 battles every year. In such a frequent war, why are passers-by not allowed to bring swords and defend themselves?"

The merchant surnamed Chen laughed in silence: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Three Counties is a minor problem. Except for Pingyuan County, the other two Yellow Turbans are not in Qingzhou. Under the oppression of the Xuande Duke's army, the Yellow Turbans in these three counties dare not take a step beyond the county boundary. As for the frequent wars, is it that Xuande Duke using the Yellow Turban to train troops?

You think that Duke Xuande defeated the Xianbei (Wuheng, or Wuhuan) in western Liaoning, but he used four or five legions. Now, there are 10 legions (35,000 people) in Qingzhou, and there are still 16 legions in Izuyun City. These 26 legions are not able to resist. At present, the Yellow Turbans in the three places are now huddled in their territory and are in panic all day long. The reason why the lord does not plow the courtyard and sweep the cave is because there are many hungry people in the three places, and the lord is not ready to accept the hungry people. Therefore, as long as the Yellow Turbans in the three places do not cross the county boundary and occasionally grab some food to satisfy their hunger, it is just a small fuss and they will make trouble.

Because of this, although wars in Qingzhou are still frequent, it is safest for passers-by to walk along the border of Qingzhou. Walking along the main road in Qingzhou, there are inns resting every fifty miles. There are township heroes stationed in the fortress beside the inn. If there are police in the place and the township heroes gather together in all directions, how can thieves escape?”

Mr. Shan's eyes lit up and asked tentatively: "How can Qingzhou pay the financial resources by setting up a police officer in fifty miles? I heard that Qingzhou has the lightest taxes in the thirteen states in the world. Could it be that this is untrue?"

The merchant surnamed Chen shook his head slightly and explained: "Mr. Shan didn't know that these township brave men were on duty, and the government did not pay money and grain. The farmers in Qingzhou had no taxes, but the people had to serve labor and deduct taxes. This labor includes receiving military training and building cities and roads. Military training means bringing their own weapons and horses to the fortress, and there is no need to train for any matter. Therefore, Qingzhou has Tibetan soldiers everywhere, but the government spends very little."

As soon as the voice of the merchant surnamed Chen fell, Mr. Shan suddenly interrupted: "I already know that Mr. Xuande is a talented man, but Brother Chen, if you are just a small businessman, how can you know Qingzhou well? I heard that Brother Chen calls Mr. Xuande twice as his lord. It seems that Mr. Shan is rude. His colleagues did not ask Brother Chen for his name for a few days. May I ask, Brother Chen is the talented man under Mr. Xuande?"

The businessman surnamed Chen replied with a wry smile: "Mr. Chen is just a small businessman. Brother Shan doesn't ask for his name or surname, so it's not rude."

As he said that, the man raised his chest and said proudly: "However, I am guarding Izumo Bailang City, the left general, Qingzhou Beihai Wei Guan Hai Guan Bingyuan; Izumo City Lord’s Foreign Affairs Chief Wang Zhi, and the city lord finance chief, one of the three great ministers of the lord, and Chen Yong, the commercial director of Luoyang Qingzhou. The city lord’s family wealth is managed by Chen, so Chen has absolute qualifications to call the city lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord the lord."

Mr. Shan Ju Yili and repeatedly said, "It's rude and rude. Shan didn't know that Brother Chen had such an identity and was neglected all the way."

Chen Yong helped Mr. Shan up, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Mr. Shan Fu is a talented man. We have heard Mr. Chen Changwen (Chen Qun) say that with my letter of introduction, Mr. Shan can decide to do it by himself. Mr. Chen Changwen is in Langya County. If Mr. Shan wants to visit Chen Changwen, he can go around the road and go around, and the lord is eager to see him.

In addition, the husband traveled far away and left his mother at home without anyone to take care of him. After hearing the news, the lord sent someone to Yingchuan to pick up his husband's house and come to live in peace. Don't worry, there is a lord in Qingzhou, and no one dares to harass the husband."

Shan Fu stood upright and asked slowly: "So, did you meet me at Guandu and ask me to take the boat together? Is it also based on a pre-arrangement?"

Chen Yong smiled faintly and replied: "Not only that, the people who robbed the court for Mr. Chen also made arrangements. If Mr. Chen Changwen had not arranged in advance, we would provide weapons and weapons and guide them all the way, how could Mr. escape the pursuit?"

Shan Fu's eyes shone brightly and stood on his sword. He asked unwillingly: "Although Xu and Chen Changwen were studying at Yingchuan Academy, they had no close friends. Chen Changwen began to follow Duke Xuande since he was a child. Now he has become a senior member of the country. He was successful in his youth and did not see him dating old friends with Yingchuan on weekdays. How can I remember my classmate whom I am not very familiar with today? Besides, Duke Xuande has a reputation for making plans before acting, so how could he take the risk of robbing prison for his classmates who were not familiar with his subordinates?"

Chen Yong didn't mind Mr. Shan's claim to transform from "Shan" to "Xu" and refuted with a silly smile: "Mr. Shan, my lord is a law-abiding person. Don't mention the saying of robbing prison again. If you have any questions, you might as well go to see my lord. I believe that the lord will give you an explanation."

Mr. List was silent for a long time, and suddenly untied his sword and handed it to Chen Yong: "Okay, I'll go and see your lord. Since Brother Chen's introduction letter, I'm walking in the Qingzhou area, and I can't use this sword anymore. I'll send it to Brother Chen as a souvenir to meet you and me."

Chen Yong respectfully took the sword and said gratefully: "Mr. Shan Fu gave me the sword to me, a little businessman. I am very grateful. Don't worry, I will definitely arrange my itinerary. The person who comes..."

Chen Yong summoned a young man and told him: "Young Master Liu, you should accompany your husband to Guangluo all the way, and you must not neglect it."

The young man repeatedly claimed that he was. Seeing that the young man who was obviously dressed as a scholar and was so respectful to Chen Yong, Shan Fu couldn't help but bow to Chen Yong and bid farewell to him.

Seeing Shan Fu's back gradually disappearing from his sight, Chen Yong turned around and returned to the cabin, took out a carrier pigeon, picked up a pen and wrote a few clumsy words on the paper: "Shan Fu has entered Qingzhou."

Soon, the note was tied to the feet of the pigeon, and the pigeon flew around in a wide range of wings.

Shan Fu was the one Xu Shu who recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei and was famous for historic history. When he was young, he made ambition: "A real man cannot make achievements and achieve success, and he will almost be corrupt with the plants and trees." In history, when he was young, he avenged people, but was captured accidentally, and his accomplices made a big fuss in the court, saving him. From then on, he changed his purpose, studied hard, and met Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou.

However, history has brought about our participation and has undergone a slight change. Xu Shu should have fled south to Nanyang County. With our support, he began to flee north. From Guandu, Chen Yong was taken on a boat and entered Qingzhou.

The whereabouts of Xu Shu in history are confusing. He joined Liu Bei when he was living in Xinye. In 208, Cao Cao went south and defeated Xinye. Xu Shu was defeated by Cao Cao when he was traveling to Changbanpo with Zhuge Liang. Xu Shu's mother was also captured by Cao Cao. Xu Shu said to Liu Bei, "The only thing I can do to show my talents is the small county in Xinye. Now Xinye is gone, and my heart is in chaos. My mother is at Cao Cao's place. Please let me go." After Liu Bei agreed, Xu Shu went to Cao Cao to surrender. During the Battle of Red Cliff, Xu Shu was sent to guard Chang'an to prevent Ma Teng in Xiliang. After the Battle of Red Cliff, Xu Shu played a good role as a counselor and was deeply loved by Cao Cao. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Xu Shu was appointed as one of the three dukes, and he had many ideas for Sima Yi during Zhuge Liang's northern expedition.

At the same time, according to the "Lingshan Weizhi" during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Xu Shu lived in seclusion in the area of ​​Maozi Peak in Jiaonan, Qingdao after a while in his later years. The remains of Xushu Temple in Jiaonan are still there. According to analysis, the popularity of alchemists in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the birth of early chemicals such as Huyao made literati who did not understand chemical reactions feel wonderful, so the elixir was strong. The celebrities at that time Wang Lie, Ji Kang and others were all infected with the habit of taking elixirs. Langya (Langye) was the area where alchemists were the most concentrated, with a large number and strength. Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty and the leader of the alchemist who was respected as a god by his descendants, An Qisheng, who was respected as a god by his descendants, was the "people from Fuxiangting in Langya". Xu Shu was attracted by the fame of Langya and many "gods", and he also wanted to practice and become an immortal here.

When Xu Shu was young, he was brave and a hero. He was a young man. Later, he only improved his IQ when he was studying in all directions, but did not make any progress in character. His character often fluctuated between being constrained and impulsive, and lacked stability. Therefore, his behavior was full of contradictions, and he was both insignificant and inconsistent, and he was both indifferent to the minority and inconsistency. He was loyal, filial, and righteousness.

However, for such a growth type of talent, even if I can't use it myself, I can't afford to others. With the help of the fame of Langya County and the old love of Chen Qun, a classmate who is in charge of Langya, we cleverly set up a problem and attracted him, who was desperate, to Qingzhou in advance. Now, it's time to gain.

Xu Shu was worriedly riding a horse on the road from the plain to Luoyin. Behind him, Mr. Liu accompanied him with 10 township policemen.

This road was built along Luoshui, which is another branch from the Yellow River to the sea. In the past, the transitional reclamation of Pingyuan County made the Luoshui water level too low and not suitable for navigation. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population decreased, and the plain implemented the policy of planting grass and fruit trees to retreat, Luoshui began to sail. However, since Xu Shu was preparing to see the people's conditions all the way, he insisted not to take a boat, and the group had to walk slowly along the main road.

Fruit trees are densely planted on both sides of the road. The beginning of spring was in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. Now it is almost summer. The fruit trees are lush and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere. Since the plains are mainly planting fruit trees, flowers and plants, and the labor intensity is not high, there are only a few women in the forest on the side of the road.

"Oh," Xu Shu sighed deeply and was about to meet Liu Bei. This person is the most controversial person in the Central Plains. He has mixed praise and criticism. Overall, he has six major evils, that is:

Brutality: When merchants and people enter Qingzhou, they do not walk along the main roads, and do not accept checks and taxes. They will be killed. Not only that, they also killed and killed prisoners and drove them to build cities and roads. This resulted in many casualties and injuries in Qingzhou. Every road and every castle was made of blood and tears.

Greedy: Eat never get tired of essence and stew without being beautiful. I often ask the people to study the cooking methods of food, and organize cooking competitions during the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Festival to taste the level of chefs and the advantages and disadvantages of delicious food. I organize people to plant spices and fruit trees everywhere. Spices are used as condiments, and the endless fruit trees are brewed into fine wine. This leads to the influx of restaurants in Qingzhou, which also affects the decay of Luoyang, the capital. Everyone is proud to eat canned food (canned food) in Qingzhou and drink fine wine.

Greedy profit: After the Battle of Fei Ru, soldiers were organized to peel horses on the battlefield, make military uniforms (leather armor and leather jackets) for sale, and horse meat was made into smoked sausages for sale. What's more, they supported veterans to organize public auctions of spoils, which led to the army's plunder. Every victory of the battle, all the property of the defeated soldiers would be seized, stripped naked of the clothes of the defeated soldiers, and then handed the prisoners to the veterans to build cities and roads. The soldiers collected the daily labor gains of the prisoners, and felt at ease. As a result, Qingzhou officials would have to care about profits in every action, despise the laws of the court, and would not do anything without profit.

Arrogant: Taking advantage of the status of the Izumo vassal state, Izumo vassal state, and the title of Izumo was greatly granted to the title of Izumo in Qingzhou, which led to the officials of Qingzhou being proud of having the title of the vassal state and ignoring the embarrassment of the court. In the spring of the third year of Zhongping, Zhang He, the general of the Izumo vassal state, sent troops to the Sanhan, and in the autumn of the fifth year of Zhongping, he quelled the rebellion of the Sanhan. Because it was his own vassal state, the emperor was overjoyed and immediately appointed officials to the Sanhan to ask the Sanhan to pay taxes. As a result, these officials who bought them out of money were expelled by the Sanhan. The emperor said this.

He was furious and asked Izumo's vassal state to send troops to attack. As a result, Izumo Castle pushed this matter to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei replied: Izumo's vassal state, in accordance with the purpose of alliance and mutual assistance, suppressed the rebellion of the three Koreans, but there was no obligation to control the three Koreans, nor did it have the obligation to set up officials in the three Koreans (for the emperor). The emperor had no choice but to do anything about this behavior of despising the court's laws. Of course, the emperor did not refund the money paid by these officials to buy officials, which led to the officials chasing debts and forcing the emperor...

Love sex: Not only do you love women, but you also publicly promote that your subordinates love women. You even say: The country and the country take the family first. How can you love your family if you don’t love your own women? How can you be patriotic if you don’t love your family? It’s just that you can raise your love for women to a theoretical level. But it is said that one day he inspected the Qingzhou Bianjia Office and saw a person who worked all night. He was furious and said: "Don’t care about your family, how can you expect you to care for the people of Qingzhou?" Since then, there is no need to dismiss this official - love for women to such a level, which is unprecedented.

Curious: I like things that are strange and lewd skills. Whenever I hear someone inventing something new, I will be inspired by the mansion. If I get something, I will be happy to encourage me. For craftsmen who can make strange and lewd skills, the etiquette is more than scholars. What's more, I also organize people to produce strange and lewd skills to make these things pollute the Han court.

However, in addition to these six evils, this complex person has five great good things. This is:

Trustworthy: I promised that the people of Qingzhou would not pay taxes for several years, and would rather auction their own property than collect taxes from the people. Fortunately, there are many industries here, and the things in the house are treasures, and many people buy them every year. After this action, everyone in the world knew that Qingzhou was the name of the other way of trust. Even if Liu Xuande's words were not put on paper, it would be a guarantee.

Hanzhi: As the court exploited more and more, counties and counties in various places tried their best to conceal land and taxes. This person did not conceal the land and reported it truthfully to the court and added taxes. This was unanimously praised by the emperor and the bosses in the court.

Respect for teachers: Lu Zhi and Guan Ning have his name as his teacher. Every June fifteenth, he would respectfully offer "respect for teachers" to both of them. Lu Zhi was in the capital and could not come in person, so he sent people to send gifts every year. Guan You'an taught at the Qingzhou Noble Academy. On this day, he would put down his work and walk under Guan You'an's door. Guan You'an talked with his descendants in the hall, and he followed Guan You'an's instructions alone in the hall and put shoes for his juniors. This kind of respect for teachers really made some contemporary great scholars proud.

High-education: This is related to love and talent. Every time I heard that a great sage in the countryside would come, I would talk to him with carriages and horses. After each conversation, I would use my own carriages and horses to carry the wise men to the countryside to learn, and ask him to teach the villagers. I will make Qingzhou's concubines have no wise men. Learning hundreds of schools of art and selling them with the imperial family is the desire of every scholar. Liu Bei's point has won him a lot of praise in the scholar class. If there are boys who don't go to school in every county and township, I will personally recruit the township officials to ask why. The rewards given to his wise men and chairs are very generous. The salary is even higher than that of the county magistrate.

Protecting the people: Every year around the Agriculture and Animal Festival, he would meet with fellow villagers from all over the country and listen to the fellow villagers telling about the rural affairs. He would never eat the sufferings of the people. He would always hear that the people in Qingzhou were bullied elsewhere and were furious. A few years ago, he even sent troops to the territory of Zangba of Xuzhou to capture the thieves who plundered Qingzhou merchants.

However, even these five great virtues are worth pondering. Pay attention to education. The textbooks used in the Qingzhou Academy were compiled by him and Guan You'an. The whole article is full of a new method of breaking sentences called punctuation marks, but due to the inconsistency of the Han system.

Don't hide the land, but this person always fails to pay the land tax truthfully for various reasons, and always likes to pay most of the taxes in kind. Fortunately, the Qingzhou Goods Master loved it very much, so he was allowed to do so. However, a small number of agricultural taxes always pay for the people themselves - selling horses this year, selling carts next year, and selling his vases the year after year. The hidden meaning of this action is: In the long run, the people of Qingzhou thanked Liu Xuande, the Qingzhou driver who reimbursed their taxes every year. The majesty of the great Han Dynasty was lost here.

As for protecting the people, under his system, all those taught were loyal to Qingzhou and their Qingzhou people. His attitude of fighting for the people was the result of the Han Dynasty's decree in Qingzhou, if no one would pay attention to the seal of Qingzhou people's seals.

What this person does must be put under normal circumstances of the imperial authority of the court and was killed by the court, which would have made him do the matter of paying taxes for the people at his own expense. This is already a crime of bribing people's hearts and treacherous. The people are forced to die and fooled, and they are responsible for what local officials do, and sympathize with the people, which is a great crime.

However, now, the Han Dynasty is shaking, and disasters are constantly occurring in all directions. In the past few years, several major disasters have been: in April of the second year of Zhongping, Gengxu, Sili rained and hail, hail as big as chickens, and damaged crops. The grain harvest was poor;

In July of the second year of Zhongping, Sanfu borers were damaged and the grain harvest was poor;

In December of the fourth year of Zhongping, it was dark, rain, great thunder and hail;

In the fifth year of Zhongping, seven counties and states emerged in the seven rivers. These seven counties refer to the seven counties "Shanyang, Liang state, Pei state, Pengcheng, Xiapi, Donghai, and Langya".

On June 1, the fifth year of Zhongping, a strong wind blew trees (hurricanes), which hurt crops and poor grain harvest.

In addition, Liangzhou rebelled and the court fought endlessly. In the fourth year of Zhongping, Han Sui killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, becoming the supreme commander of the rebel army. At this time, Han Sui had more than 100,000 troops, and the prefect of Longxi Li Xiangru rebelled and returned to Han Sui. Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, led the troops of six counties to attack Han Sui. Geng Bi favored the villain and appointed the governor of Zhong Cheng Qiu to be greedy and profitable, and was dissatisfied with people. In April, Liangzhou rebelled and responded to Han Sui and killed Geng Bi and Cheng Qiu. Geng Bi's Sima Ma Teng saw that his master died, so he rebelled and joined forces with Han Sui, elected the kingdom of famous scholars as the main force, and continued to attack the east.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, the rebels in Liangzhou surrounded Chen Cang, so the court appointed Huangfu Song as the left general and Dong Zhuo as the former general, each leading 20,000 reinforcements. The kingdom surrounded Chen Cang from the winter solstice and spring for more than 80 days, and the rebels retreated from the siege. Dong Zhuo believed that the enemy should not pursue the enemy. Huangfu refused to listen and attacked him alone, and defeated the rebels in a row. Han Suo then abolished the kingdom and found Yan Zhong, Hanyang to supervise all the troops. Yan Zhong died of illness immediately. So the generals of the Liangzhou army began to fight for power and profit and fight against each other, and the rebels in Liangzhou also declined. However, the imperial court's rule over Liangzhou was also lost.

At the same time, in the second year of Zhongping, Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, separating Yizhou; Zhang Lu, Hanzhong, occupied Hanzhong; remnants of the Yellow Turban Remnants of Jizhou caused rebellion; Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu of Youzhou restrained each other; bandits in Huainan area of ​​Yuzhou were rampant; Yangzhou was in chaos; Liaodong was separatist and did not govern; Jingzhou was in chaos; the three states of the world were war everywhere. The court lost money and grain supply from various places, and the finances and grain supply were suddenly tight.

Under such circumstances, Qingzhou, which had frequent wars, had heavy troops, but voluntarily paid taxes in full, which made the court feel like it was just living. With the mediation of the big bosses in the court, as long as Qingzhou paid money, grain and taxes on time, even if Qingzhou occasionally offends, the court was powerless and had to endure it.

Liu Bei's actions made the scholars all over the world have a contradictory mentality. On the one hand, no one doubted Liu Bei's force. It should be a good thing to obtain such powerful force guarantees in troubled times, but on the other hand, Qingzhou is the place where wars are most frequent. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingxu are no less than one million, and battles of various scales occur every day. Although Qingzhou's public security is very good, the scholars still hesitate to enter Qingzhou to serve in an official position.

The most important thing is that Liu Bei's identity is not awkward or embarrassing. As the governor of Qingzhou, he is not aware of the status. Not only that, Liu Bei is also very picky about the scholar's knowledge. No matter how good the poems are, it is useless. He also has to be good at calculations. All officials in office have to undergo an assessment, which makes the scholar who value his own identity hesitate - if he fails the exam, the scholar's reputation will be completely ruined.

Through these successive measures, scholars from all over the world both envied the treatment of scholars in Qingzhou, and hesitated repeatedly about becoming an official in Qingzhou. Now, the person Xu Shu was going to meet is such a person. Why did he take action to save himself a person with a reputation and a family background?

Xu Shu was full of questions and was pondering immediately.

On the roadside, a crisp bell rang out of the castle hidden by the forest. Then, a group of children walked out of the castle with wooden sticks. Without the noise of most boys, these children were led by a slightly taller child, shouting the slogan "one, two, one", lined up neatly and walked along the main road.

"Thank you——" the children's childish voices attracted Xu Shu's attention. At the command of the team leader's children, the boys saluted and walked past Xu Shu.

Following the children's gaze, Xu Shu was shocked to find that the target of the children's military salute was the accompanying Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu immediately straightened his body, happily replied to the military salute, muttering: "Good, in another ten years, we will be another group of good soldiers."

Xu Shushun asked: "Young Master Liu, who are these children?"

While returning the gift, Mr. Liu replied: "The Boy Scouts from Luoyin Township."

Xu Shu fell into deep thought. The title of Gongzi was given priority in the Han Dynasty. Only the children of one party's family were called Gongzi by his subordinates. Judging from this title, Gongzi Liu was probably an adopted son of Duke Xuande. Duke Xuande sent his adopted son to escort him, which could be said to have given him enough face. It seems that he was preparing to recruit him as an official. However, Chen Yong repeatedly called himself "Mr. Shan". It seems that his identity as a fugitive also made Duke Xuande worry. In this case, what position would he arrange for himself?
