The lights in the study were dimly lit, but the supreme leader of the Shu Han political group and his heirs started a discussion about the general trend of the world!
"Xiaozhi once said that in the land of Hanzhong, we can overthrow the enemies and honor the royal family. In the middle, we can encroach on Yong and Liang, and expand the territory. In the lower part, we can hold on to key points, which is a long-term plan. Ji Xiu also said to me: Hanzhong is The throat of Yizhou has a chance of survival. If there is no Hanzhong, there will be no Shu. This is a disaster for the family. In today's affairs, men must fight and women must be lucky. Why send troops?"
Liu Bei took a breath and said: "That's why I sent a large army to Hanzhong to compete with Cao Mengde for this only chance! Fortunately, I won. Now Hanchuan is in my hands, half of Jingzhou is under control, and now there are The great ancestor established his legacy back then, and his career as a king may be accomplished!"
He looked at Liu Chan with burning eyes and asked: "If we win Hanzhong, we will be called the King of Hanzhong. But I am vain and ambitious. I am not a loyal minister of Han, but a traitor to the country?"
Liu Chan shook his head and said decisively: "Of course not!"
He bowed his hands in front of Liu Chan and said, "Father, doesn't the letter written by Li Chao explain why my father is king?"
The Emperor's Biao of the Han Dynasty is the Hanzhong Wang Quanjin Biao previously signed by Liu Chan. It was written by Li Chao, who is known as the "Three Dragons of the Li Family" in Guanghan County.
The problem to be solved in the table is what Liu Bei asked Liu Chan: given the rationality for Liu Bei to become king when he cannot be granted the title by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty!
"In the past, Yao was the most holy man in the Tang Dynasty, but four evil men were in his dynasty. Zhou became benevolent and virtuous, but the four kingdoms were in trouble. The high queen claimed control, but the Lus stole their orders... For a long time, your majesty was covered in dust and sorrow, and lived in a secluded and empty city. Humans and gods had no masters, and they were restrained. I want to kill the king, I am disgusted with the emperor, I want to steal the divine weapon."
Liu Chan read loudly, his eyes very firm.
In ancient China, when encountering such problems that could not be solved according to the rules within the system, they usually looked for evidence in a kind of recollection of the past kings.
Therefore, the article begins by tracing the historical precedents. During the time of Yao, four evil spirits were in the court; Outstanding figures such as (Zhu Xuhou) Liu Zhang and (Bolu Hou) Huo Guang came out, either exiled or captured, and finally turned the country from danger to safety.
Now, with Dong Zhuo first in trouble and then Cao Cao, the Han Dynasty encountered "unfortunate misfortunes"; especially Cao Cao, who "ruined the world and destroyed the people", "stopped the king's orders" and "wanted to steal the artifact", so , it is necessary to have figures like Shun, Zhou Gong, Liu Zhang, and Huo Guang to punish the rebels, stabilize the situation in danger, and revive the Han Dynasty.
And who is this person?
Of course it’s Liu Xuande!
"General Zuo led the Sili Xiaowei in Yu, Jing, and Yi prefectures to Mu Yicheng Tinghou Bei, and received the rank of imperial nobility.... Then he achieved great success, and the ministers retreated to correct their crimes. Although they died, they had no regrets."
Liu Chan had a photographic memory and almost recited the King of Hanzhong's Persuasion to Jin table in front of Liu Bei again.
In summary, the core meaning expressed in this essay is: the mission of defeating Cao and destroying the thieves has historically fallen on Liu Bei. In order for Liu Bei to better lead this cause, it is necessary to make Liu Bei king.
However, in view of the fact that the Han Emperor was held hostage in the hands of Cao Cao, in order to make Liu Bei's claim to the king legitimate, the story of the early Eastern Han Dynasty in which the five counties in Hexi jointly recommended Dou Rong to be the marshal was cited in the procedure.
This eloquent statement is actually a clear political statement, which not only solves the issue of the legitimacy of Liu Bei's claim to the throne, but also clarifies a clear political positioning for Liu Bei's career.
Liu Bei established himself as the heir to the careers of Liu Bang and Liu Xiu by claiming the title of King of Hanzhong and performing great Sima affairs.
As the "heart and soul" of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's title of king was in line with the system of the previous kings. Your surname is Cao Cao, which violates what Emperor Gaozu said: No one without the Liu family can be called king, and it clearly denies the legitimacy of Cao Cao's title of King of Wei.
"Everyone in the world has heard this statement. Who dares to say that my father is not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty? Then Cao Cao is not a traitor to the country?"
Liu Bei sighed and said: "The expression is a family statement. Besides, this expression is not known to everyone in the world. There are always people who have never seen it."
Liu Chan thought Liu Bei was worried about something!
It turned out that it was Uncle Liu Huang's good reputation that restricted him.
Under the care of feathers, if anyone is unaware of this act of becoming king, it will indeed hurt Liu Xuande's reputation.
"Father, don't disturb me. Chang Yu is proficient in the art of prophecy and can make him publicize this matter more. I also have a ranger caravan under my son, which can also promote the reputation of my father. This title of King of Hanzhong is by no means disobedient, but for support." Han Dynasty, my father did not hesitate to make people in the world confused, but did it deliberately!"
After hearing Liu Chan's words, Liu Bei nodded slightly.
But after a while, his brows wrinkled again, occupational disease came, and tears gathered in his eyes.
But when he thought that it was his son who was talking to him now, Liu Bei became serious and sighed slightly.
"Actually, I'm afraid that Jiangdong's reaction after becoming king is not what we want to see. Whether the Sun-Liu Alliance can still succeed is still unknown."
Since Liu Bei is already the king, how should he straighten out his relationship with Jiangdong Sun Quan Group?
Now Sun Quan is not even a marquis. Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, was awarded the title of Marquis of Wucheng for his military merits. After Sun Ce surrendered to the Han court, Cao Cao asked the Han court to allow Sun Ce to inherit the title of Marquis of Wucheng, which was later renamed Wu Marquis. After Sun Ce died in the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan succeeded his brother. Cao Cao asked the Han court to grant Sun Quan the title of general against the captives and the prefect of Kuaiji, but the title of marquis was not given to him.
In the 13th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan broke with Cao Cao, and his relationship with Xuchang was actually severed. Naturally, Sun Quan's attack on the nobility would not be mentioned again.
Sun Quan is not even a marquis, but Liu Bei has been promoted to a king.
This means that Liu Bei either unilaterally placed Sun Quan in a subordinate position, or completely abandoned his alliance with Sun Quan.
Otherwise, for such an event that will seriously change the nature of the alliance, there should have been necessary political communication in advance. However, Liu Bei's invitation form to be the King of Hanzhong to Emperor Xian of Han did not list Sun Quan on the recommendation list. He could have omitted Liu Zhang. But what should not be missed is Sun Quan.
This is a question of political stance, and also a question of whether the Sun-Liu Alliance can survive.
This is what Liu Bei wants to understand and solve the most when he summons Liu Chan tonight.
"Hahaha~"
Liu Chan raised his head and laughed twice.
"Why is my son laughing?"
"I laughed at that..."
Liu Chan coughed and said, "I laugh at what bothered my father. It turns out to be such a trivial matter."
Liu Bei said sternly: "Cao Cao occupies the Central Plains. The Central Plains is fertile and densely populated. There are thirteen states in the world. Cao Cao gets nine of them, Sun Quan gets two and a half, and I wait for one and a half. The alliance between Sun and Liu is four to nine. If the Sun-Liu alliance fails, wouldn't it be Yizhou plus half of Jingzhou to fight against Cao Cao's Jiuzhou?"
He sighed and said: "There are more than a million people under my rule, how can I be the opponent of millions of people in Mengde?"
Cao Cao pulled out an army of 100,000 people, and even if he finished the search, although his muscles and bones were broken, he would not die in a single battle.
If he, Liu Bei, pulls out an army of 100,000, not to mention whether he can pull it out, even if he pulls it out, if he loses in one battle, the foundation he has built throughout his life will be in vain.
Without Jiangdong's help, how could he be Meng De's opponent?
Liu Chan did not directly answer Liu Bei's question, but instead asked: "Who is Sun Quan? Does your father know?"
"Sun Quan is intelligent and good at assigning tasks. He provides government services and consults on everything. He educates guests and travelers, and loves the virtuous and the wise. Rewards do not choose hatred, and punishments must add guilt. All ministers are grateful and virtuous, but loyalty and Righteousness. Wear millions of armors, and have mountains of grain and silk. The rice fields are fertile, and the people never go hungry. The so-called Golden City and Tangchi are a country that is strong and wealthy."
Liu Bei spoke highly of Sun Quan, and Liu Chan smiled and said: "Then such a talented person is willing to lie at the feet of his father and be used by his father?"
"this..."
When Liu Chan asked this question, Liu Bei thought about it again and again and was speechless.
"Sun Quan humbled himself and endured humiliation, followed his talents and relied on strategies. He was like Gou Jian, and he was a great hero. Therefore, he was able to dominate the rivers and rivers and achieve great success. How can such outstanding people be groveling?"
Liu Chan stood up and said: "Previously, Cao Cao defeated the Jiangdong soldiers at Ruxukou, and Sun Quan expressed his surrender. However, when Cao Cao fell into Hanzhong and started another military campaign, he was a capricious person. He said he would surrender to his father. How can you believe it?"
After listening to Liu Chan's words, Liu Bei also thought deeply.
"According to what my son said, you want to abandon the alliance and ignore it?"
Liu Chan shook his head.
"Either we abandon the alliance and ignore it, or we want an alliance. Will Sun Quan be willing? Is Jiangdong willing?"
Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong and claimed to be the King of Hanzhong. Now Yunei is so powerful that he has the power to swallow up the world and dominate all directions. How can Sun Quan'an not be afraid?
"Sun Quan and his father swore an alliance originally to fight against Cao Cao. Now that his father is so powerful and not inferior to Cao Cao, why does Jiangdong still want to ally with his father? His father sent Meng Da to plan the three eastern counties on purpose. Xiangfan, if Xiangfan goes down, Xudu will be in danger. Then the sea will be shaken. Wouldn't Sun Quan be frightened?"
"Sun Quan naturally understands the principle of lips dying and teeth cold. The rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the bird is gone. How can Sun Zhongmou not know about it? What my father said about the alliance between Sun Liu and Sun Liu is just what he thinks. What Sun Quan thinks, what Jiangdong thinks, what my father thinks. Do you know? Do you pay attention to it? "
After listening to what Liu Chan said, Liu Bei became even more silent.
"It seems that it's my wife's fault!"
Being open-minded and accepting advice is one of Liu Bei's characteristics.
Liu Bei sighed and said: "If this is the case, when planning Xiangfan, we should beware of Jiangdong."
Zhi acridine~
Just at this moment, Mrs. Wu pushed open the door and entered. The maids behind her were holding a plate of food and brought it into the study.
"It doesn't matter, it's rare for you and me, father and son, to share a meal together. Let's try your mother's cooking tonight."
Mrs. Wu's face showed pear dimples, she chuckled and said: "Chan'er, let's see if this Four Gentlemen Soup is to your taste."
Liu Chan took a sip, and the smell of Chinese medicine hit his nostrils. But after taking two more sips, the taste turned out to be pretty good, with a slight sweetness between his lips and teeth.
“This soup is good.”
Mrs. Wu smiled with satisfaction and said: "This Four Gentlemen Decoction is made from the traditional Chinese medicines of Atractylodes, Poria, Ginseng and Zhigancao. It can replenish qi and strengthen the spleen. It can strengthen the qi of the spleen and stomach, nourish qi and blood, and rejuvenate the movement and transformation." It is often used, so it has become the basic prescription for replenishing qi. I heard that Chan'er has experienced things between men and women. You are still young, so you can't indulge in it. This Four Gentlemen Decoction can replenish your foundation."
Good guy!
Make a tonic soup as soon as you arrive.
Looking at Liu Bei across from him drinking the Four Gentlemen Soup, it seems that it is not easy for him to feed Mrs. Wu as he is getting older.
Now Mrs. Wu is at her most ferocious age. When she meets Liu Bei, a middle-aged and elderly man, it's no wonder that the big-eared thief can handle it!
After drinking a bowl of Four Gentlemen Soup, Liu Bei's face turned red. He patted the fat on his belly and said with a satisfied look on his face: "Good soup, bring me another bowl!"
He wiped off the soup stains on his beard with his cuffs, looked at Liu Chan with a smile on his face, and said, "Although you are only twelve years old, you have already experienced many things. Do you have a girl you like?"
"Of course there is a girl I like."
As an old father, I always feel a little excited when I see my piglet starting to eat cabbage.
"Which girl do you like? I'll hire you!"
Seeing that Liu Chan was coy and silent, Liu Bei showed an expression that everyone understood.
"When I was your age, I was also shy, but Madam Zhang? Miss Peilan is a virtuous, gentle and quiet person with a beautiful heart. If anyone marries her, she will have harmony in the backyard and good fortune for her children and grandchildren."
Seeing Liu Chan's silence, Liu Bei frowned.
In fact, when it came to choosing Liu Chan's wife, the first thing he looked at was Zhang Fei's eldest daughter.
For this reason, after the two of them got a little older, they kept creating opportunities for the two of them to get along.
how...
It doesn’t work now?
Fortunately, he still has options.
The color on Liu Bei's face did not change, and he said again: "But Madam Guan? Although Madam Guan is trained in military affairs, she is a student of Yueying. She has good martial arts, and she is even more beautiful and intelligent. If you can marry her, there will be evil in the future. Even if you are on your side, she can block it for you."
The previous ones are all fine, she must be good at martial arts, and Liu Chan can't refute her beauty, but this girl has nothing to do with intelligence, right?
Seeing his Qilin'er rolling his eyes, Liu Bei's brows were already furrowed.
Madam Zhang doesn’t like it, and Madam Guan doesn’t like it either?
So who do you like?
"Is it possible that even Chengdu Fendai can't stand His Highness's eyes?"
Is Fendai in Chengdu so unscrupulous?
Liu Bei suddenly thought of Li Yan's report to him not long ago, and his brows furrowed into a frown.
"Could it be that Nanzhong barbarian girl, Princess Zhu Rong? Although she is stunning, she is just a good-looking woman. She cannot be a wife and can only be a concubine."
Liu Chan is now the crown prince of Hanzhong, and his marriage can no longer be decided by him.
Who to marry, who to sleep with, these are all political tasks!
Yuancong faction, Jingzhou faction, Yizhou faction.
These are all things to be careful about.
Liu Chan knew that Liu Bei had misunderstood him.
"Father, it's not that I don't like Lan Niang, Feng'er and Princess Zhurong, but... I like them all!"
Only children make choices, Liu Chan wants them all!
All...
like it all? !
Liu Bei's frown suddenly relaxed, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
He glanced at Liu Chan faintly and thought to himself: When I was young, I was not as carefree as him. I thought he was shy!
"Since we are both in love with each other, what's the harm in marrying them both?"
Mrs. Wu walked behind Liu Bei and gently rubbed Liu Bei's shoulders.
"Like Chan'er, who wants to be a great king or even a saint in the future, how can there be only one person in the harem?"
Liu Bei also nodded when he heard this.
Anyway, Zhang Peilan and Guan Yinping, Liu Chan will definitely marry one. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are his sworn brothers, and they are representatives of the Yuancong sect. Marrying their daughter means that the Yuancong sect will be the leader of the Yuancong sect a hundred years after him. During Liu Chan's reign, he was also a confidant.
Marrying one is marriage, and marrying two is also marriage!
Anyway, the one who is most difficult to talk to has already cooked rice. I wonder what Yunchang can say.
Besides, my son is such a hero. Being his son-in-law makes him smile secretly!
Liu Bei immediately said: "Since you all like it, then choose an auspicious day and I will marry you!"
Although he knew that his marriage was a political task, his cheap father could agree to marry two people at once. This was something Liu Chan did not expect.
If two are okay, what about three?
Liu Chan couldn't help but push further.
"Father, Princess Zhurong of Nanzhong..."
Liu Bei glared at Liu Chan angrily and climbed up using the pole, right?
"Then marry two first."
Liu Chan smiled and drank the newly poured Four Gentlemen Soup in one gulp.
To replenish qi and blood, I, Liu Bei, drink two bowls, and naturally he, Liu Chan, cannot lag behind.
