Chapter 7 Three Books? (Edited)

"Now let's add the clip about the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

Zhen De made a decision and called Liu, Guan and Zhang over.

He took out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from the warehouse, handed it to Liu Bei, and said, "I see you don't seem to understand the Romance of the Three Kingdoms very well. How about this, you read this book first."

"This is--"

Liu Bei looked at the large gold-plated characters on the cover in disbelief. His expression did not change much, but his hands could not help shaking violently. According to their previous performance, there was a 90% chance that Zhen De asked them to act out his later deeds.

And "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should be the sequel to the script.

This thick book may very well tell the life stories of these three brothers.

Kindness without saying thanks!
Liu Bei looked at Zhen De with more respect. He found a table nearby and sat down like the other extras.

It has only been a few hours since he came here, but his horizons have been truly opened. In the Han Dynasty, there are no such tables and chairs. No matter whether they are scholars or common people, they all kneel on the ground. The only difference is that scholars can use silk as pillows, while common people probably have nothing but a handful of dirt under their knees.

So, this is also a good thing.

Liu Bei temporarily memorized the shape of the object. His most urgent task was to study Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came over one after the other.

Liu Bei became more and more fascinated as he read. In the beginning, he could chat while reading from time to time, but towards the end he was deeply immersed in it, as if he had returned to the late Han Dynasty, which was full of the gray background of war.

"Liu Guan and Zhang take their positions"

"It's time to whip the Inspector!"

Someone ran over and shouted.

"coming!"

Liu Bei put down the book, and Guan and Zhang followed closely behind him.

"You idiot! The Anxi County Magistrate was made by a knife and a gun! How can he be dismissed because of a few words from a dog official like you!!!"

Liu Bei Liu Xuande, who was in his twenties, had a hot heart. The indifferent expression on his face in the past had disappeared, replaced by a furious expression. He was like an angry lion, and the whip he wielded was like a lion's sharp claws.

Wearing official uniforms and crowns, the extras playing the roles of the Duyou were already trembling with fear, and kept shouting for mercy.

Guan and Zhang held Liu Bei's arms tightly and said to him loudly:
"Brother, calm down, calm down!"

"Brother, even if you kill a Duyou, it won't help! Besides, this is fake!"

Zhen De shouted, "Stop it!"

Liu Bei suddenly came to his senses, and the anger that had rushed to his head flowed down and disappeared without a trace. He closed his eyes and opened them again. There was no trace of "idiot" in his eyes. The person in front of him was clearly an actor who was about to cry.

He looked at Guan Zhang who was holding his shoulders again, lowered his head dejectedly, and his tone gradually softened.

"I'm fine, let me go, second brother and third brother."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other. It was indeed a good thing, the elder brother in normal state.

So the two of them followed Liu Bei's wishes and let go.

The actor who played Duyou was thankful that Liu Bei was so scary when he got angry that he thought the raised whip was really going to whip him, but fortunately he was saved.

The Duyou actor was just about to slip away and catch his breath somewhere else, but his legs became so weak that he fell uncontrollably as soon as he took a step.

Fortunately, Liu Bei was a street fighter before he changed his job, so quick eyes and quick hands were his basic skills. He held the actor steadily, with a guilty look on his face.

"I was not prepared just now. I was too excited about acting and lost my temper. Please forgive me, sir. I apologize for any offense I caused."

The man waved his hands and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. You acted very well, but I'm just too timid." Liu Bei talked to the actor for a long time. Although she was only in her twenties, the characteristics of a Han socialite had already emerged. They talked about everything from family to career, and finally dispelled the haze lingering in the actor's heart.

"Director, I'm really sorry." Liu Bei walked to Zhen De with a guilty look on his face.

Zhen De waved his hand, "I've already said it, it's okay, just be careful next time, you just need to try to get the person involved's forgiveness, don't worry, even if compensation is required, we will be responsible, after all, you are an actor under our command."

Besides, you are Emperor Zhaolie, Liu Bei Liu Xuande.

Zhen De added in his heart that he originally wanted to pretend to be ignorant while knowing the truth. After all, Liu Bei became an actor under his little-known director. If he told others about this, no one would believe it. He would be called a moron in minutes.

And what about Liu Bei in history, did he do well?

Zhaolie Zhaolie
To show one's virtue and hard work is called Zhao, to be respectful and beautiful is called Zhao, to be wise and knowledgeable is called Zhao
To have meritorious service to the people is called Lie, to uphold virtue and abide by the profession is called Lie, and to have great merit is called Lie.
Looking back on Liu Bei's life, he started his army at the age of 47 or , and spent more than years moving from Hebei to Hubei. He lived in other people's homes seven times, suffered eight major defeats, four of which even resulted in his wife and children becoming prisoners of the enemy. At the age of , he had still accomplished nothing and did not even have a stable place to settle down.

If it were someone else, they would probably either give up on themselves or throw the jar into chaos.

If they were seeking stability, they would not have gone this far and would have directly taken root in Xudu. Why would they care about the emperor's imperial edict? It's not like Cao Cao didn't have any so-called Han royal relatives under his command. What's the point of missing a Liu Xuande like you?

However, Liu Bei chose the most difficult path. This shows his amazing perseverance and ambition.

It's true that you never give up.

What is even more admirable is that even if the road ahead is difficult, one must stick to one's original intention.

"Records of Heroes" records that when Liu Bei was betrayed by Lu Bu and his food and grass were cut off, he would rather eat the dead bodies in his own army than rob the civilians.

You should know that even Lu Bu, who also had no record of massacring cities, had robbed civilians.

There was also the roar of "putting people first" when carrying the people across the river.

How can we not admire such a person?

If it is true, if Liu Bei could still go back.

I hope there will be more people like this in troubled times, I hope the tragedy of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings will not happen again, and I hope the flag of Ji Han can be raised in Chang'an.

"Old Liu."

Zhen De suddenly spoke up.

Liu Bei suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Director Zhen Dezhen, as if there was something extra in his eyes.

"Do you know the source of cholera?"

"The source?" Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, "Is it the eunuchs?"

Zhen De shook his head.

"Is it because the local government is too powerful to be eliminated? Is it because the imperial court has lost control?"

Zhen De did not answer Liu Bei. He raised his hand and pointed at the group of extras playing the Yellow Turbans. Even though the makeup team had tried their best to portray the faces of poor people, he believed that there was still a big gap between them and the real history.

"This was all Emperor Guangwu's compromise with the aristocratic families at the beginning of the country. After more than a hundred years of development of the aristocratic families, the rich have fields stretching across the country, while the poor have no place to stand. The common people have long been squeezed to the limit. The Han Dynasty has really reached the countdown to its demise."

"This..." Liu Bei lowered his head, and the words on his lips eventually turned into a sigh, and he didn't say much.

But he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Zhen De smiled and handed Liu Bei three books.
