The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 632 Liu Bei's brother-in-law

Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.But Lin Chao's father died early, and now Lin Chao is in charge of the family.

Although the eldest brother is like a father, but Liu Bei sent his uncle, Lin Chao felt that he should invite an elder to preside over the matter.

Ever since, when Lin Chao welcomed Liu Yuanqi into the mansion, he sent someone to the academy to invite Zheng Xuan over.

The great Confucianism of the day personally officiated the marriage, so he couldn't find any faults.

Before Zheng Xuan arrived, Lin Chao chatted with Liu Yuanqi.

However, the two really had nothing in common. After chatting for a while, Liu Yuanqi also felt bored. In addition, Jian Yong was still beside him, and it seemed that he wanted to discuss political matters with Lin Chao. , you can go to work yourself, and you must not delay political affairs because of this old man."

Seeing that Liu Yuanqi was so sensible, Lin Chao smiled and shied away, leaving Uncle Fu as his companion, and then took Jian Yong to the study to discuss matters.

"Zichu, my lord has something to say, please preside over the matter of proclaiming the king in the above table."

Naturally, Jian Yong didn't need to be courteous to Lin Chao, and he went straight to the point when he came to the study.

"So, Duke Xuande agrees to become king!"

Hearing this, Lin Chao said happily.

Jian Yong recounted the conversation he had with Liu Bei yesterday, but at the end he reminded Lin Chaodao: "Zi Chu, although the lord didn't say it clearly, I can see that the matter of establishing a country and becoming a king must be done safely, and you must not give it to others. Leave a message."

Lin Chao said with a smile: "Xianhe don't worry, thanks to Xuande's trust, a certain person will naturally handle this matter safely."

Although Guo Jia planned the matter of becoming king, Lin Chao also made preparations.

If things want to be done beautifully, it must be shown that Liu Bei's claim to be king is what everyone expects.

How to get what everyone expects?
Not only all the officials in Xuzhou had to show up, but the gentry from all over the country had to applaud, and even the princes outside had to show their congratulations.

Naturally, no one in Xuzhou would object. As for the gentry, the Qingzhou gentry headed by Kong Rong also seconded the proposal. In addition, the Lin Dynasty also planned to ask the Xun family to lead the Yingchuan gentry to submit a proposal.

The most rare thing is the last point, how to get other princes to agree to this matter.

Although Xuzhou has not broken face with other princes now, everyone knows that there will be a battle with each other sooner or later, so how can they be willing to increase Liu Bei's momentum?
However, Lin Chao also has a solution for this.

After Jian Yong left, Lin Chao ordered Zhang He to invite three people over, namely Yang Xiu, Chen Lin, and Sun Qian.

Speaking of which, Sun Qian is also Zheng Xuan's disciple, but he is not the kind of direct disciple.

In the past, when Zheng Xuan gave lectures in his hometown, Sun Qian also went to listen to the lectures for a while, so he regarded himself as a student of Zheng Xuan, and was later recommended by Zheng Xuan to become an official in the state.

When Xuzhou was about to open a school, Zheng Xuanguang recruited friends and students, and Sun Qian was among them.However, he has always had ambitions for an official career, and Zheng Xuan did not leave him to teach in the academy, but recommended him to Cui Yan to be appointed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The three of them are now in the government affairs hall, and it is convenient to summon them, but they all arrived in just half an hour.

When the three of them stepped into the study, Lin Chao was lying down on the bank and writing something.

Seeing this, the three of them didn't dare to disturb them, so they stood by.

A moment later, Lin Chao finished writing and finished writing, and blew the ink on the paper by the way, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Three, let's take a look."

Hearing this, the three of them gathered together and carefully read what Lin Chao just wrote.

Leaving aside the content, the three of them frowned when they saw Lin Chao's handwriting, and almost gasped.

So ugly...so unique handwriting!
To be honest, Lin Chao is the only one who has the courage to ask others to watch the writing so ugly.

The three endured the discomfort and continued to watch, only to find that what Lin Chao wrote was exactly the Tangdi chapter in Xiaoya in the "Book of Songs".

Changdi's Hua, Ebuweiwei.All people today are better than brothers...

Tang Di is considered to be a relatively long poem in the Book of Songs. The whole poem depicts brotherhood, and even borrows many rhetorical techniques, which is very wonderful.

But the truth is not so simple.

As an ancient scripture, "The Book of Songs" can be regarded as a collection of small words and great meanings. Don't say that the chapters praising brotherhood have profound meanings, even those chapters describing the love between men and women are not so easy to understand.

In fact, a seemingly very literary "Book of Songs" is not only a beautiful poem, but also a diplomatic slang word in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period!

The three of them were all well-educated people, so they naturally knew the poem, but they didn't understand the meaning of Lin Chao, so they couldn't help showing doubts.

Yang Xiu had a closer relationship with Lin Chao, so he cupped his hands first and asked, "Changshi, this is the Tangdi chapter of the Book of Songs. The officials are dull and don't understand the deep meaning of Changshi."

Lin Chao waved his hand with a smile, and said, "You three, do you know that Duke Xuande is about to establish a country and become king?"

Hearing this, the three of them were immediately shocked.

Although the fact that Kong Rongbiao invited Liu Bei to become king is known all over the world, it is very meaningful to say it from Lin Chao himself.

Before the three of them could react, Lin Chao continued: "It is said that those who attain the Dao will be helped more than those who have lost the Dao. Although I, Xuzhou, has a strong army, I can't go against the sky. To become a king, you have to worry about people's opinions. .Now the hearts of the people are in my Xuzhou, the hearts of the gentry are also in my Xuzhou, and the rest is the hearts of the princes."

Yang Xiu was the most witty and quick-witted, and immediately said: "The meaning of the long history is that the three of us want to take this poem to the princes to wave the flag for the lord's proclaiming the king?"

"good."

Lin Chao affirmed Yang Xiu's statement, and then asked with a smile: "Does De Zu know which princes I want you to send as an envoy?"

In today's world, if counting the sheriffs of the separatist side, there are dozens of princes, large and small, and naturally they cannot all send envoys.

Yang Xiu deserves to be the most beautiful boy of the Hongnong Yang family. After thinking for a while, he looked at Tangdi on the table, suddenly enlightened, and smiled at Lin Chao: "I think that Chang Shi is going to let me wait for you to come out." Make Liu Junlang of Yizhou, Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou, and Liu Boan of Youzhou."

Now Lin Chao was really surprised, and couldn't help giving Yang Xiu a high look.

Originally, he thought that Yang Xiu was just a little clever, but now it seems that in history, Yang Xiu's intelligence could be feared by Cao Cao, so he was worried about leaving future troubles for Cao Pi, and his death was indeed unjust.

Seeing that Sun Qian and Chen Lin were still confused, Lin Chao smiled and said, "What do you mean by Dezu's words?"

Yang Xiu understood Lin Chao's meaning, and immediately explained with a smile: "Nowadays, there are not many princes in the world who are qualified to fight against me in Xuzhou. But now the Lord Jianguo is the king, and if he wants to gain support from the princes, he can only Can lobby Sanliu. Although Yuzhou Yuan Gonglu has formed an alliance with Xuzhou, but he is ambitious, and sooner or later there will be a battle with the lord. In addition, the long history is written in the Tangdi chapter, so the officials boldly guessed that it is Sanliu. "

After listening to Yang Xiu's explanation, Sun Qian and Chen Lin couldn't help being greatly shocked, but they nodded again and again.

That's right, what Tang Di said was about brotherhood.And there are only Sanliu who can be called brothers with the lord.

Hearing this, Lin Chao admired Yang Xiu even more, and said with a smile: "Since Dezu knows my meaning, can he possibly understand the mystery in this poem?"

Today's Yang Xiu, when he was young and proud, saw that Lin Chao wanted to take the school exam, so he happily replied: "What's so difficult about this! Tangdi, who was endowed by the long history, was seen by the officials, and the mystery lies in three sentence.

One, all people today are like brothers.

Two, the brothers fight against the wall and control their affairs from the outside.

Three, the chaos is peaceful, peaceful and peaceful.Although there are brothers, why not friends?

Chang Shi, I don't know what the official said is right. "

"Hahaha... Dezu is talented and intelligent, and he will be a pillar of Xuzhou in the future!"

Lin Chao laughed loudly.

Yang Xiu, who was praised, also had a look of complacency on his face.

With Lin Chao's character, he would naturally not suppress Yang Xiu's fear because he was too smart, but would be happy from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, it is under the premise that Yang Xiu has completely integrated into the Xuzhou circle.

Sun Qian and Chen Lin were not stupid people either. After hearing Yang Xiu point out these three sentences, they immediately understood what Lin Chao meant.

The first sentence is to tell Sanliu that everyone is a relative of the Han family, they can be called brothers, and they should watch out and help each other.

Of course, Liu Yan might curse when he saw this sentence.

In the past, Luoyang City was going to intercept and kill someone, but now he still has the face to talk about brotherhood, what a shame!

The second sentence is to tell Sanliu that no matter how unhappy everyone is, it is also a family matter between brothers. Don't let outsiders see the joke.

As for who this outsider is, Yuan Shu from Yuzhou expressed his embarrassment.

If the first two sentences meant wooing, then the third sentence was a blatant threat.

Brother is in trouble, you let me know, and I, Xuzhou, will naturally help you settle it.

But if you think brothers are not as good as outsiders, then don't blame me for dealing with you in the same way as outsiders.

In a word, if you are willing to obediently support Liu Bei to become king, the benefits will be great.

If you refuse to support it, then get ready for the coffin!
When I, Xuzhou, recover, I will be the first to clean you up.

Today's Xuzhou, after the Three States War, has become an empty shell, naturally unable to start a war again.

But that's not the case in the eyes of outsiders.

Even the leader of the aristocratic family, Yuan Benchu, who was sitting in the land of two states, died under Liu Bei's hands, and it was not a matter of minutes to clean them up.

Besides, if Liu Bei really wants to become king, they can't stop them. Instead of running into bad luck, it's better to be a favor, anyway, there is no loss for them to express their support.

Seeing that the three of them had roughly understood the situation, Lin Chao said with a smile: "This matter depends on the three of you. If you come back with success, it will be a great achievement."

"As ordered!"

The three of them clasped their hands in unison.

After the three left, Lin Chao walked out of the study, only to find that Zheng Xuan had already arrived at home.

Reasonably speaking, Zheng Xuan didn't want to come at first, but considering that Lin Chao's parents had long since passed away, he had no choice but to come because of his duties as the only elder.

When Liu Yuanqi faced Zheng Xuan, the current school sect, his momentum was naturally a little weaker, but fortunately Zheng Xuan had no airs, so the two began to discuss the details of engagement and marriage.

After Lin Chao came out, he saw that Zheng Xuan had arrived, greeted the two of them, and went out to the north of the city.

I couldn't see Liu Bei yesterday, even if I can't see him today, I still have to settle down the matter of Zhong Yao first.

Calculating the time, today is already the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year's Day will be in a few days.

These last few days will be very busy.

Besides, Zhong Yao, after returning to the posthouse last night, he managed to lose sleep at night.

Everything he saw and heard in Tan County yesterday gave him a sense of novelty, which fascinated him, and he couldn't help but look forward to the days when he will work in Xuzhou.

It's a pity that I didn't see Liu Taiwei who is famous for his benevolence yesterday, but looking at the peaceful scene in Tan County, tens of thousands of refugees were resettled inside and outside the city, presumably it was all thanks to Liu Taiwei's enlightenment.

Zhong Yao even thought that if all the politicians were as benevolent as Liu Bei, how could there be troubled times in this world!

Lying on the bed tossing and turning unable to fall asleep, Zhong Yao got up at midnight, dressed neatly, and sat quietly in the hall waiting for Lin Chao's arrival.

But after waiting, it was three poles high in the sun, but Lin Chao still didn't come.

Lin Changshi assisted the Taiwei in governing several states, and he must have been delayed by something.

Zhong Yao comforted himself in his heart, and continued to wait optimistically.

Then it was noon...

It wasn't until almost noon that Lin Chao arrived late.

In the end, the emperor paid off. When Zhong Yao saw Lin Chao coming to the door, he hurriedly got up to greet him and said, "I have seen Chang Shi."

"Yuan Chang doesn't need to be too polite. A certain person has some important matters at hand, but it took some time."

Zhong Yao hurriedly smiled and said: "No problem, no problem, Chang Shi has a great responsibility, so naturally he should focus on government affairs."

As soon as the words fell, there was a cooing sound in Lin Chao's stomach...

Lin Chao was suddenly a little embarrassed, since he was busy in the morning until now, he didn't have time to eat.

Just when Lin Chao was about to say something to relieve the embarrassment, the same voice came from Zhong Yao's belly.

From the third watch to the present, he has not even eaten a drop of rice.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but they also subtly resolved the embarrassment just now.

Lin Chao stretched out his hand, swam with his arms again, and said with a smile: "Yuan Chang, let's go, I'll take you there for dinner."

What do you mean by rubbing rice?
It was the first time for Zhong Yao to hear this kind of statement, and he couldn't help being a little curious, but he was dragged by Lin Chao to the Taiwei's mansion.

Liu Bei was at home today, but when he heard Dian Wei say that Lin Chao was asking for an audience outside the door, he was very surprised.

Uncle Yuan Qi went to the Lin Mansion to propose a marriage earlier this morning, Zichu was supposed to accompany him at this time, why did he come at this time?
While puzzled in his heart, Liu Bei felt a little embarrassed.

After all, after today, Lin Chao is not only his minister, but also his uncle.

Thinking about it, Liu Bei said, "Jun Ming, please come in...forget it, so-and-so will go in person."

Lin Chao and Zhong Yao waited at the door for a while, and saw Liu Bei coming out wearing a cloak, with a smile on his face that he had never seen before.

Lin Chao didn't find it strange, but Zhong Yao was shocked.

Such long arms, such big ears...

Liu Taiwei was indeed born with visions and extraordinary talents!

I saw the talented Liu Taiwei, came up and grabbed Lin Changshi's arm, forced to play with his arms, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, be polite..."

Lin Chao: ...

Zhong Yao: ...

Liu Daer, why are you so fat?

Forgot to take your medicine today?

When the two were speechless, Liu Bei smiled and whispered to Lin Chao: "Zi Chu, let you take advantage of this time today, and don't think about it in the future."
