Li Mengxi is definitely not someone who talks too much and thinks too high.

Even though the Yellow Turban is caused by scabies, there is nothing to worry about, but with the Yellow Turban incident, the situation in the Han Dynasty is still worrying.

Liu Bei became worried again, restless, got up and walked back and forth.

In the tent, Guan and Zhang were all confused when they saw Liu Bei acting like this.

"Brother, why are you sighing so much?" Guan Yu put down his Chunqiu hand and asked.

"Alas." Liu Bei sighed and frowned, "I'll go find Meng Xi."

Why, go to find Li Mengxi again.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were surprised.

Li Mengxi was outside the tent, observing the sky.

He put his hands behind his back and stood beside the tent. The light of the bonfire reflected Li Mengxi's shadow on the tent, making the shadow grow long.

When Liu Bei came, he saw that Li Mengxi was not asleep. He was standing outside the tent with his hands behind his hands and his head raised to gaze at the stars. For a moment, he had the aloof and aloof temperament of an outsider.

Liu Bei couldn't help but slow down for a moment.

Hearing the footsteps approaching, Li Mengxi originally thought they were passing soldiers patrolling the camp, but then he found the footsteps getting closer and closer.

Li Mengxi took a closer look and saw that it was Liu Bei who had come at night.

Li Mengxi was surprised.

"Mr. Xuande, why did you come to visit late at night?"

When Liu Bei came over, he looked at Li Mengxi and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Alas!" Liu Bei suddenly sighed, "It's a long night, Meng Xi, would you like to talk about it in the tent?"

"That's fine." Li Mengxi nodded.

——

In the Chinese army's tent, Zhang and Zhang saw their eldest brother hurried out. After a while, he brought back the Li Mengxi doll.

Guan Yu was curious about what was going on, and Zhang Fei, who had already fallen asleep and got up again, was also curious.

A few steps away, Liu Bei and Li Mengxi sat opposite each other.

Liu Bei seemed to have something to say but stopped talking.

Li Mengxi just waited without speaking first.

"Alas!" Liu Bei frowned, his face gloomy, and sighed again.

"Meng Xi, when it's late, you and I will discuss the matter of the Yellow Turban.

Meng Xi, what you said is that after the Yellow Turban incident, the imperial court must learn from the pain, punish the eunuchs, clarify the government orders, lighten the corvee tax, and bring prosperity to the people, and a prosperous age can be expected.

But come to think of it, if the imperial court really learned from the experience, why would the Yellow Turbans cause chaos today?

Before the Yellow Turbans emerged, popular rebellions had already arisen one after another in various places. If the imperial court really wanted to govern, why would the Yellow Turbans come about?

Meng Xi said that if the great Han Dynasty can prosper in peace and prosperous times can be expected, I am afraid that Meng Xi did not mean what he said."

"From what I can see, after the Yellow Turbans, our country, the Han Dynasty, is riddled with holes and hidden dangers. I fear that disaster is not far away. I think about it and I feel uneasy.

Meng Xi immediately followed the masters to study, and he must have a good strategy for governing the world. Today is the plan for the world, so I dare to ask Meng Xi for his advice!"

After saying this, Liu Bei looked serious, put his hands together, bowed to Li Mengxi, bowed to the end, and lowered his head to the level of the case.

Li Mengxi was surprised by Liu Bei's words and deeds.

I thought that Liu Bei was shallow and could not understand the world's situation, but I never thought that Liu Bei could predict that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty would still be in danger.

This was beyond Li Mengxi's expectation.

Li Mengxi was greatly moved when he saw Liu Bei still bowing to him and his attitude of humility.

“Mr.

Liu Bei stood up and looked at Li Mengxi with hope and thirst for knowledge.

"Alas." Li Mengxi sighed softly, "The art of governing a country, ha." Li Mengxi smiled mockingly to himself.

"I only know a little bit about the art of governing the country." Li Mengxi bowed his hand towards Liu Bei.

"I dare to tell Mr. Xuande that I didn't say what I said before, and there were many hidden things. It was not intentional to deceive each other. It's just because my two brothers were in the chaos of the army. Fortunately, Mr. Xuande took him in. My two brothers were lucky enough to survive."

Survive.

Both of us live on the breath of Duke Xuande, and we dare not speak out loud in the extreme remarks. This is an act of wisdom to protect ourselves, for fear of offending Duke Xuande and causing disaster."

"Now I see that Mr. Xuande has a great spirit and cares about the country and the people. He is a true gentleman, and he is definitely not a sinner because of his words.

It doesn’t matter, just say something boldly!”

Li Mengxi said something passionate and slapped the case with his hand. "What if I say that the Han Dynasty will perish? What does Mr. Xuande think?"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was shocked.

Li Mengxi immediately heard an unhappy snort behind him.

Liu Bei looked at Li Mengxi blankly for a moment. "Oh, Meng Xi, it's okay to speak out!"

Liu Bei looked complicated.

"Okay." Li Mengxi nodded.

"I asked, does Mr. Xuande know why there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion?" Li Mengxi raised his head, looked directly at Liu Bei, and looked at each other.

"Alas! The Yellow Turban Rebellion is just because the current emperor favors traitorous eunuchs and ignores government affairs. Government orders are not popular, so the people's livelihood is in decline, and the Yellow Turban disaster has arisen!" Liu Bei slapped the table with his hands and sighed. Liu Bei was extremely worried about the Han Dynasty.

I can't help but feel sad.

"This is one of them." Li Mengxi said slowly.

"I think that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is just a symptom of the current emperor favoring traitors and making government orders ineffective."

"Oh?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up. He straightened his body and bowed his hands, "I would like to hear the details."

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion had three causes."

"First, it lies in the land. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, but if there is something to eat, they will not starve to death, and the people will not rebel and behead people.

The Han Dynasty has been a country for nearly 400 years, and the world has been peaceful for a long time. Compared with the early Han Dynasty, the household registration has doubled ten times, the population is getting larger and larger, the total amount of land has not increased much, and the per capita land is naturally getting less and less. Coupled with the clever plundering of the landowners,

Land annexation has been serious, and the limited land is no longer enough to feed many people.

If the weather is favorable, the people can barely survive.

However, there have been years of famine, no crops harvested from the fields, and the people have no way to survive. At this time, if the government works hard to provide disaster relief, the disaster years may be able to survive; if the government goes against the grain and increases taxes, exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes, the people have no way to survive, and the government forces the people to rebel.

How can the people not rebel? Therefore, the fault of the Yellow Turban Rebellion lies not with the people but with the government..."

"snort!"

Before Li Mengxi could finish his words, a cold snort sounded like thunder. Li Mengxi was so frightened by this sudden cold snort that he almost jumped up.

"Several years of severe drought are not the fault of the government! The imperial court has its own countermeasures. Just wait for relief from the imperial court. Why does rebellion make the situation worse? It is clearly a rebellion, but what is an uprising? Where is the justice? The Yellow Turban Army are all thieves.

Bones, be killed!"

Li Mengxi turned around and saw Zhang Fei blowing his beard and staring, looking filled with indignation.

Sure enough, saying that the Han Dynasty is about to perish and that the imperial government is not good will offend Guan and Zhang, who are sincerely devoted to the Han Dynasty.

Li Mengxi had already expected this.

He turned his back and saluted Zhang Fei.

"Third General." Li Mengxi said with a slight smile.

"Does the general think that the Yellow Turban Army should not rebel but wait for government relief?" Li Mengxi asked Zhang Fei.

"That's how it should be!" Zhang Fei replied without hesitation.

"Then if the government does not provide relief, what will the people do?" Li Mengxi asked again.

"How did you know that there was no relief from the government?" Zhang Fei stood up and asked.

"If the government had provided relief, why would the Yellow Turbans arise?" Li Mengxi shook his head, "Do the three generals think that the people should not rebel but just wait to starve to death?"

Zhang Feiniu stared at the boss, his chest heaved, and he gasped for breath, "...even...it's a great truth, but you can't be a rebel!"
