"My father doesn't have a good relationship with the French military advisor. Wouldn't it be too rude to invite him rashly? After all, Yizhou is thousands of miles away from Jiaozhou." Lan Yuan asked puzzledly.
"Fathers have their own clever plans." Lan Tian smiled slightly.
Fazheng was still in Hanzhong at this time, preparing for Liu Bei to be crowned king. Lantian needed to send someone to Hanzhong again, and the most suitable person was Song Chen, who had just returned.
The Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce is positioned as a security intelligence department. In order to cover up people's eyes and facilitate operations, it needs to build multiple intelligence points in the city. Darkrooms, prisons, etc. also need to be built at the same time, so the construction time is longer than ordinary buildings.
Song Chen happened to take advantage of the window before taking office to make another trip, and Hua Tuo was ready to take a short vacation in Guangzhou when his special numbness dissipated.
The father and son returned home and had a hasty lunch. They were supposed to take a lunch break in the hot summer weather, but Lantian went out to inspect the cultural district in the morning and had a lot of official business to deal with.
While the state officials did not come, Lan Tian asked Lan Yuan to bring paper, ink, pen and inkstone. He wanted to write two letters for Song Chen to take to Hanzhong.
The first letter was a recommendation letter. Song Chen asked Liu Bei to reward Gao Shun and Xu Shuang. They were Zhonglang generals appointed by Lantian as Jiaozhou Mu. Only the two positions of the trapped army were promoted first, and then Song Chen, who was born in the trapped army, was rewarded. Things will fall into place.
The second letter was written to Zhang Fei. Lan Tian asked him to come to Guangzhou City to take a look around, eat special delicacies, and teach Lan Yuan how to use the halberd on the grounds that he had suffered while in Wudu.
When Lan Yuan was helping Lan Tian research ink, he accidentally discovered his name and glanced at the content of the letter. Lan Tian wanted to train Lan Yuan step by step, so he didn't hide it in front of him.
"Father, the third general and Zhong Ling get along better. Why do you want him to guide me? Isn't my mother a good teacher?" Lan Yuan asked curiously.
Lan Tian looked at his son and replied meaningfully: "This is the reason my father prepared for Yide. If nothing happens, my brother-in-law will ask him to guard Wudu. It takes two or three months to travel from Wudu to Jiaozhou. There must be something reliable." Reason, right? General Guan is usually coaching Zhong Ling, wouldn’t it make sense for him to coach you?"
"Well... But the second brother and General Guan are son-in-law... How can General Yide and I be the same?" Lan Yuan and Liu Wan were engaged to have a baby engagement, and they would get married when they reached adulthood, so he and Liu Wan Zhang Fei can only have an aunt-nephew relationship, not as close as Guan Yu and Lan Ji.
After listening to this, Lan Tian laughed and said: "If you don't have a son-in-law, you can't teach martial arts? Your mother's halberd technique comes from your eldest father. Yide has fought with him the most times among heroes in the world. Besides, there is no reason to teach martial arts. Uncle Yang, you must always remember the word flexibility."
"Uh..." Lan Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You probably want to invite the French military adviser to Jiaozhou, so you use the three generals to cover it, right?"
Lan Tian nodded happily, "You can teach children, this is called 'Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, with the intention of Pei Gong.'"
"Wonderful." Lan Yuan seemed to understand.
The days were long in summer, and it was still early for Lan Tian to finish handling the backlog of government affairs, so he asked Lan Yuan to find Song Chen and give instructions about going to Hanzhong again.
Song Chen kept the two letters close to his body and asked curiously: "Sir, on the pretext of adding a legal subject in "Shu Ke", he wanted to invite the French military advisor to Guangzhou Academy to answer questions, but why did he ask me to invite the Zhuge military advisor? The third general recommended the French military advisor later. If General Zuo really sends Zhuge military advisor, wouldn't it go against your original intention?"
"My lord will not refuse my request, but he will soon establish the country and become the king of Hanzhong. There are many things that he must rely on Kong Ming to handle. If you and Yide propose different candidates, the lord will definitely settle for the next best thing and send Fa Xiaozhi and Yide is coming to Jiaozhou, it doesn’t matter if he really sends Kong Ming, you just do as I say..."
Lantian didn't tell the whole story here. After Xu Shu solved the fertility problem, Zhuge Liang still had no heirs, so asking Hua Tuo to nurse him back could be considered a good deed.
"I will do what you asked me to do, but I didn't expect that the rumors you asked me to spread in Xudu would be so closely related to General Zuo's promotion to the nobility. Your master's ability to strategize is really unparalleled in the world." Song Chen sighed with his fists clasped.
Lan Tian suddenly frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "Forget those rumors from now on, and let all your followers rot in their stomachs. I don't want to hear any rumors in the future."
"Don't worry, sir." Song Chen solemnly clasped his fists. The most valuable thing about their excellent work is that they can keep secrets.
Song Chen rested in Guangzhou for two days and was about to hit the road when Hua Tuo prepared Ma Fei San.
Before leaving, a messenger came to the Prefectural Mufu to see Lan Tian. It turned out that they were sent by Zhuge Liang to obtain the favor of persuading Jin Biao. Persuading Jin Biao was a key step for Liu Bei to become a noble and king. Lan Tian's status was lofty, and his memorial to persuade Jin Biao was very important.
Liu Bei's accession to the throne was slightly different from that in history. Lan Tian first asked Song Chen to spread rumors in Xudu, build public opinion through the incident of Cao Cao becoming king, and use the emperor's mouth to express his dissatisfaction with Cao Cao's becoming king, saying that Liu's descendants are capable All can be called Duke and King; secondly, Wei Huang and others were used to correct the edict issued by King Guan Yuqin, and Xu Shu was asked to prepare an additional edict for the kingship; finally, Zhuge Liang was asked to verify the authenticity of the edict, and finally the king of Hanzhong gained legal legitimacy.
Legal rationality is particularly important in feudal society. If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, it will be difficult to achieve things.
Lan Tian wrote a memorial in front of the envoy to persuade Song Chen to return to Hanzhong with the envoy.
Zhuge Liang was proficient in astronomy and astrology, and had already scheduled the July Gengzi ceremony for Liu Bei in advance, so he sent dozens of envoys to Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yizhou. After all, the time left for preparation was not very sufficient.
After Song Chen and the envoy boarded the ship, they changed the oar sailors into three teams and rushed to Hanzhong day and night to recover.
At the end of June, Song Chen disembarked from the ship in Zitong and parted ways with the envoy. He handed Ma Fei San to Huo Jun's family.
Although they had not seen each other for only ten months, Huo Jun's originally burly body had lost a lot of weight, and it seemed that he was particularly suffering from the disease. Song Chen thought that if Ma Fei San was effective, he would persuade his family to send Huo Jun to him when he returned. He was brought back to Jiaozhou for face-to-face diagnosis and treatment by Hua Tuo.
Song Chen then changed horses and rushed to Nanzheng. In early July, he handed Lantian's letter to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei respectively.
At this time, Liu Feng and Meng Da had conquered the three eastern counties, and all parts of Hanzhong were filled with joy at Liu Bei's advancement.
In the autumn of July of the 24th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei, accompanied by his ministers, climbed onto the altar set up in Mianyang. The surrounding flags and guards of honor were solemn and solemn, and the three armies lined up neatly under the stage.
Zhuge Liang first read the emperor's edict in front of everyone, and then took out one hundred and two names including Ma Chao, Xu Jing, Pang Xi, Sheyuan, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lan Tian, Lai Gong, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Fazheng, Huang Zhong, etc. The twelve people's advice was read in the table.
After saying this, Liu Bei went to Xu Du and invited the emperor to thank him. Then he put on the crown and became the king of Hanzhong. He led Yizhou Mu and Da Sima, and his seat was in Chengdu.
After the ceremony was completed, Liu Bei returned to Nanzheng, where he held a banquet for all the ministers and awarded hundreds of officials.
Xu Jing was granted the title of Taifu, Zhuge Liang was appointed Prime Minister, Fa Zheng was appointed Shangshu Ling, Pang Tong was appointed Dali, Xu Shu was appointed Imperial Censor, and Lai Gong was appointed Taichang...
