The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 645 List and Doubt

In the fourth year of Chuping, the sixteenth day of the first month.

Liu Bei officially married Lin's daughter.

The process of getting married is actually not much trouble, the distance between the bride's house and the groom's house is only a wall, and the process of sending off the marriage is also extremely simple.

If you want to use two words to describe it, it is a banquet!
In order to show off, Liu Bei also took out the last [-]% of the family property in the internal treasury, and threatened to set up a three-day banquet, just to let everyone eat and drink well.

May I ask, who can resist the temptation to eat a banquet?
With Liu Bei's order, all the officials in Xuzhou said that the lord is grand, the lord is 666, the lord has eight children...

Even Tian Feng, who always had a dark face, had a rare wave of flattery at this time, which made Liu Bei feel a little elated.

Don't look at the Minister of the Household Department who is in charge of the finances of the entire Liu Bei Group, but after all, he is only a small official with a rank of six hundred stones, and his salary is pitifully small.Tian Feng refused to be greedy for ink, so his life was naturally hard.

So after learning that Liu Bei was going to set up a banquet for three days, Tian Feng immediately flattered and sent him over, but immediately brought the whole family to have dinner together.

As long as he doesn't pay money from the treasury, Tian Feng has always been very keen on eating and drinking, and he didn't forget to pack some before leaving.

It was rare for Liu Bei to be generous, but on the first day he found that the consumption far exceeded his budget, and he suddenly felt a pain in the flesh.

But the rhetoric has been released, so naturally it can't be taken back, so Liu Bei had to reluctantly set up a three-day banquet, completely spending all his family money.

In the early morning of the fourth day, he ran to Lin Chao's house to grab a meal under the pretext of returning home.

At this time, the news that Sanliu and Kong Rong led the Qingzhou gentry to the table finally spread to Xuzhou.

Everyone in the inner palace thought that the time had come, and it was time to promote Liu Bei Jianguo as king.

But right now there is still one issue that needs to be discussed, that is who should lead this memorandum.

If everything before was just a foreshadowing, now it is just the finishing touch.

In the future, Liu Bei will become king, and this performance will also prevail.

After all, it is a major event that will be famous in history, so we have to be cautious.

In the government affairs hall, Xun Chen was the first to speak: "Someone thinks that Zichu is the head of my civil and military affairs in Xuzhou, and he should take the lead in presenting the show."

Xun Yu smiled wryly and said, "If that's the case, Zichu's current official status can hardly be worthy of the name."

Lin Chao's current situation fits the four characters of status, humbleness and authority.In addition to the title of Marquis of Anxi, only the official position of Shi Qianshi, the chief of Taiwei Fu, was left.

Don't say that compared with important ministers, even a captain who is more than two thousand stones is much bigger than his official Lin.

In such a ranking, Lin Chao is afraid that he will be ranked outside the fifty. Not to mention whether Lin Chao himself can accept it, those recommended by him will not agree, let alone dare to rank ahead of him.

But if they are not sorted by official positions, and they are not in accordance with the etiquette, they will definitely make people laugh at them all over the world.

Since then, it has become a dilemma.

Jushou thought for a moment, got up and said: "For the present plan, the only way is to ask the Lord to give Zichu a promotion."

"It's not impossible, but I have to ask Zichu about this matter."

Cui Yan laughed.

While everyone was talking, Lin Chao walked in, just in time to hear the conversation between Ju Shou and Cui Yan, and couldn't help saying: "No, there is no need for a promotion."

Tian Feng was puzzled and said: "If you don't get promoted, how can you be ranked first?"

Lin Chao asked back: "Who said that XX will be ranked first?"

"That kid thought, who should be in the first place?"

Xun Yu asked.

"Naturally, he is the teacher of Duke Xuande, the governor of Yanzhou today, Duke Lu Zigan."

Hearing this, everyone remembered the existence of Lu Zhi.

No matter how great a minister Lin Chao is, it is impossible for him to rank ahead of Lu Zhi in the performance.

Xun Chen asked, "What about the second one?"

"Cai Bozhe used to be the third prince, and now he is the academy's sacrificial wine, so he should be ranked second."

"the third?"

"Kong Wenju is a well-known scholar in the country and the leader of the Qingzhou gentry. He was the first to invite Xuande to be king before, and it is reasonable to be ranked third."

"Fourth?"

Everyone thought, now it's your turn, Lin Zichu.

"Guan Yunchang is the head of my generals in Xuzhou, and should be ranked fourth."

Hearing this sentence, everyone immediately had an opinion.

It is understandable that Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, and Kong Rong are in the front row, but how can he, Guan Yu, be in front of you!
Xun Yu smiled wryly and said, "Zi Chu, this is a big matter, and now is not the time to be humble. If you don't stand in front, how will we deal with ourselves?"

"Naturally, I know the seriousness, and this matter is definitely not deliberate humility." Lin Chao said with a smile, "Let's put it bluntly, regarding the matter of Xuande's proclaiming king, I don't intend to show it at all."

"Why?"

Everyone is puzzled.

Lin Chao spread his hands and smiled, "Because a certain person is planning to resign and return to his hometown, how can a person who has no official titles submit a petition?"

This news was much more shocking than the ranking in the above table, and everyone was in an uproar for a while.

Tian Feng frowned and said, "Lin Zichu, this joke is not funny."

"So it's not a joke." Lin Chao said with a smile, "Everyone just continue to sort, don't worry about the position of X. By the way, Jia Wenhe's position will also be removed."

Xun Chen was puzzled and said, "Zichu, what happened to force you to resign and return home!"

"Didn't I tell you before?"

Hearing this, everyone just remembered that at the beginning of dealing with the aristocratic family, Lin Chao had mentioned the matter of resigning from office.

At that time, I thought it was Lin Chao's evasion, and I didn't want to bring up the old matter again after a few months, and it seemed that Lin Zichu seemed to be playing for real.

Xun Yu shook his head and sighed, "Zi Chu, let alone your plans, if you resign, my lord will not allow it."

"It's human-made, so-and-so has already prepared it, and you will know in a few days. So-and-so is here, just to let you know."

Lin Chao smiled, then turned and left, leaving everyone in the inner palace with strange expressions.

……

Jia Xu's massacre in Yanzhou caused a backlash after all.Not only the aristocratic family, but even some people also opposed it, which caused a series of turmoil.

A butcher's knife can be called a sharp thing, but after all, there is something sharper than it in this world, and that is the human heart!
Xuzhou's new policy is only aimed at the future interests of the aristocratic family, and does not intend to kill them immediately.

At least the Lin Dynasty did not cut off the wealth, contacts, and a large amount of land in their hands accumulated over tens of hundreds of years, and the aristocratic families did not have the motivation to fight desperately.

Everything was fine at first, but after Jia Xu's disturbance, people in Yanzhou were panicked and everyone felt insecure.

Instead of waiting for death to come to him, it is better to fight to the death, the outcome is still unknown.

Jia Wenhe, if you don't want us to live, then don't think about it yourself!
So in less than half a month, Jia Xu was repeatedly assassinated by the Yanzhou gentry.

If Zhang Liao hadn't been there to protect him, Jia Xu would have died long ago based on Lin Chao's skill alone.

Faced with this sudden wave of assassinations, Jia Xu didn't panic, instead, he should eat, drink, and cut off every head.

But then, the family's second round of revenge also followed.

Seeing that the assassination could not be successful, the family's second round of revenge was much more elaborate, and it could be regarded as a truly unsolvable conspiracy.

First of all, the big and small families in Yanzhou jointly released the news that the order of Shuntian Mansion, Jia Xu, disregarded human life, poisoned innocent people, and his actions were heinous, and his crimes were beyond description...

In this statement, Jia Xu was completely demonized, and it can be said that Dong Zhuo is alive.

After all, Liu Bei is not the only prince in this world. Seeing that Liu Bei's rule in Yanzhou was unstable, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao took the opportunity to demonize Lin Chao and Liu Bei when they spread rumors.

As for why Lin Chao?

He, Jia Xu, used your Lin Zichu's seal and ribbon to carry out the murder. Whether it was your order or not, you cannot absolve yourself of the blame.

Fueled by Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, Yanzhou, which had just surrendered and had not yet undergone in-depth governance, suddenly became turbulent.

If it is said that Liu Bei's dominance in Yanzhou barely reached about 70 before, now it is less than 50.

After doing all this, the Yanzhou family lurked for a while, guessing that when the news was about to reach Liu Bei's ears, they united again and gave Liu Bei a memorial.

In the letter, the aristocratic family first flattered Liu Bei, praising him for his divine prowess, sage and martial arts, his harmony with nature and people, and he can be regarded as a wise master that has not been seen for hundreds of years...

But after the flattery was over, he changed his writing and talked about what Jia Xu had done in Yanzhou in recent days.

In the end, they said that if the Taiwei did not recall Jia Xu, a mad dog, and allowed him to act mischievously in Yanzhou, they feared that Yanzhou would not be owned by the Taiwei in the future.

After reading the letter, Liu Bei's first reaction was anger.

How dare this group of dogs threaten someone!

What a great talent Jia Wenhe is, and how he could do such ignorant and short-sighted actions, it must be an excuse for these people to take the opportunity to oppose the New Deal.

What Zichu said is true, these gentry families are indeed the biggest scourge in the world today!

Send troops, send troops, hack them to death!

Just when Liu Bei was preparing for all actions, Guo Jia came to meet him in a hurry, holding a secret report from the school affairs office in his hand.

After reading the content, Liu Bei was puzzled.

"Jia Wen and him...why did this happen?"

This secret report recorded in detail what Jia Xu had done in Yanzhou these days, and also truthfully explained the current situation in Yanzhou, which is why Liu Bei was so surprised.

Guo Jia smiled wryly and shook his head, "My lord, Jia can't figure this out either."

Liu Bei thought for a moment, and then asked again: "Feng Xiao, do you think it is the communication aspect of the school office..."

Even with the facts in front of his eyes, Liu Bei did not believe that Jia Xu would be so unwise.

"No, it's absolutely impossible!" Guo Jia said solemnly, "My lord, Jia dares to guarantee with his life that the information transmitted by the school office is absolutely true!"

The school office is in charge of intelligence, if there is a problem in this area, then Liu Bei will become blind and deaf.

Liu Bei hurriedly comforted him: "This matter is too strange, so someone asked this question. There is absolutely no doubt that Feng Xiao's imperial order is not strict. Feng Xiao doesn't need to be excited."

"My lord, Jia understands what you mean."

Liu Bei waved his hand, motioning for Guo Jia to sit down and talk, and then said: "But this matter is... I would like to ask someone from Fengxiao to discuss it in detail."

Now Guo Jia was stumped.

He asked himself that his wisdom was unparalleled, but he had never seen through Jia Xu, so it was difficult to comment on this matter for a while.

After thinking hard for a while, Guo Jiacai said carefully: "My lord, Jia Wenhe is by no means a short-sighted person. There must be a reason for this killing. And... this time Jia Wenhe rushed to Yanzhou to preside over the New Deal, which is exactly Zichu's intention He was able to mobilize Zhang Wenyuan's [-] troops because he brought Zichu's personal seal."

"According to the meaning of filial piety... Jia Wenhe's behavior is all from Zichu's instruction?"

Liu Bei said, but shook his head again and said, "No, no...Although Zichu sometimes misbehaves, he is always kind, even if he is unwilling to kill the enemy too much, he will never act like this."

"The lord is wise, and Jia also thinks so. But this matter is really puzzling, why don't the lord call Zichu to ask what happened."

After Liu Bei thought for a while, he finally rejected Guo Jia's proposal, and said, "When the Inner Palace was established in the past, Zichu once said that the power of the monarchy should not be taken lightly, and this is true. Although the matter in Yanzhou is strange now, but After all, the Metropolitan Procuratorate should be in charge, so it’s not good for someone to act beyond his authority.”

As a monarch, Liu Bei can naturally decide all matters in Xuzhou with one word, but that doesn't mean he can act as he pleases.

On the contrary, the more power one possesses, the more cautious one must use it.

Even if Jia Xu started killing in Yanzhou, even if he is to be held accountable, he must be impeached and investigated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and finally convicted and held accountable by the Ministry of Punishment, instead of Liu Bei himself as the vanguard to intervene.

This unspoken rule of performing their duties seems to have affected Liu Bei's power, but it is also the safest way to govern.

If you, Liu Bei, have to do everything yourself, why do you need many administrative agencies?
How can your subordinates work for you if you entrust them with heavy responsibilities without giving them sufficient power and trust?
Guo Jia naturally understood Liu Bei's concerns, so he said with a smile: "For such a big matter, the Inner Palace and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely get news in the past two days. My lord, let's wait for them to play. But today is fine, Jia plans to go to Zichu I'm going to eat at the house, is my lord willing to go with me?"

"Hahaha, okay, let's go together."

Guo Jia is worthy of being a little clever ghost, and he solved the matter perfectly in a few words.

The two were just about to set off when Xun Yu and Cui Yan came hand in hand, begging to see Liu Bei.

Seeing that the two of them were in a hurry like Guo Jia before, and they were still holding some memorials in their hands, Liu Bei knew the purpose of the two.

Now there will be two more people going to Lin Chao's house to grab a meal.

……

Lin House.

Lin Chaozheng took Xun Cai for a walk in the courtyard.

Since she became pregnant, Xun Cai changed from the mistress of the Lin family to the giant panda of the Lin family.

Not to mention being cautious everywhere, even daily travel requires at least two maidservants to support her, and there are several doctors who carry medicine boxes behind her at any time.

Lin Chao thought that such a battle was over, so he asked Uncle Fu to cut some, leaving only two maidservants to serve him.

After all, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji are in Tan County, so they can respond to anything at any time.

But Lin Chao's request was not halfway through, but he was severely opposed by Uncle Fu:
"Madam's womb is our noble son of the Lin family. Naturally, we must take care of it carefully. Sir, you are busy with military and state affairs all day long, and this matter is the responsibility of this old slave. If something happens due to negligence, this old slave will die. .

That's why what Lang Jun said just now, this old slave absolutely disagrees! "

Hearing this, Lin Chao couldn't help being taken aback.

After traveling through so many years, this is the first time that Uncle Fu contradicted himself face to face...

Seeing that Uncle Fu was so determined, Lin Chao couldn't say anything more.

But being so pampered and pampered is very detrimental to childbirth. Lin Chao still has this medical knowledge, so he takes time to take a walk with Xun Cai every day.

The two were walking when Zhang Yun came in to report: "Supervisor, General Gao has arrived."

"Understood, you take Yiyi to the study to wait, and I will be there in a while."

"As ordered!"

Zhang He came out with his fists clasped.

Lin Chao said to Xun Cai with a smile: "Nv Xun, you should do some activities on your own, there are some important things to deal with."
