The three countries are very nuclear

Zheng Xuan beat his son with a cane, but after all, he was old and had more energy than energy. Instead of catching up with Zheng Yi, who was running away with his head in his arms, he made himself out of breath.

"Nizi...Nizi..."

This scene was just like the scene when Cui Lie bought a lawsuit against Situ, and his son Cui Jun spoke sarcastically, causing his father Cui Lie to chase and beat him, Lin Chao couldn't help laughing.

"Teacher, calm down, don't get angry..."

Lin Chao came up to support old man Zheng, but his eyes were full of smiles.

At this time, he still couldn't see that he was being calculated by others.

It's probably not a certain person, but a certain group of people who are just calculating themselves.

At this moment, Zheng Yi, although he had already run out of the courtyard, Zheng Xuan was still relentless, pointing at the courtyard door and angrily said: "Hmph, how dare this rebellious son expect the old man to die of illness, he is really not a son of man, why did the old man give birth to a child?" Such a thing..."

Having said that, Zheng Xuan already suspected that his son was a spy sent by Cai Yong.

His guess is well-founded, after all, as early as the fifth year of Chuping, Zheng Yi worshiped Cai Yong as his teacher.

Lin Chao persuaded with a smile: "Teacher, Junior Brother Yien has always been filial, so there must be something wrong with this lie. I hope Teacher will forgive me."

"If you have difficulties, you can fabricate the illusion that the old man is critically ill? How filial is this!"

Zheng Xuanyu said indignantly, and then turned his eyes, and pointed the finger at Lin Chao: "Zichu, you too, it's in vain that you usually claim to be unparalleled in wisdom and calculation, but you are deceived by such inferior lies, you are really stupid!"

Lin Chao: ...

Old man Zheng, even if your son runs away, you can't take your anger out on me, right?

"Why, Zichu thought the old man was wrong?"

Seeing that Lin Chao didn't take it seriously, Zheng Xuan stared and said loudly.

Lin Chao resolutely confessed: "Yes, yes, the teacher taught you well, but the disciple is stupid."

"It's almost..."

Zheng Xuan glanced at the dusty Lin Chao, felt a little bit sorry for himself, a closed disciple whom he hadn't seen in seven years, and calmed down.

"Zichu, there are the clothes of that Nizi in the house, you go and change, and come as a teacher."

With that said, under Lin Chao's puzzled gaze, Zheng Xuan turned around and strode out of the yard.

Not long after, there was a noise of chickens flying and dogs jumping in Cai Yong's house nearby, accompanied by the quarrel between the two old men.

After Lin Chao changed his clothes and came out, he saw Zheng Xuan walking back with a jug of wine in his arms, followed by Cai Yong with a sad face.

"Cai Bojie, what are you doing with such a mournful face? You and Zichu have not seen each other for seven years. Today's reunion of master and apprentice is a great joy, and it should be accompanied by fine wine."

"But... this altar of fine wine is a fine wine that has been treasured for many years..."

"It's just a jug of wine. Why should a man care about a few things outside of him? I borrowed it today to make the best use of it."

Cai Yong: ...

Did you borrow it?

You are obviously robbing!

At that moment, Zheng Xuan went to the back kitchen to prepare some side dishes, and the master and apprentice and Cai Yong began to eat and drink in the hall.

After not seeing each other for seven years, Zheng Xuan asked about Lin Chao's recent situation and the degree of his study of knowledge over the years, and Lin Chao's answers were quite satisfactory.

Afterwards, Lin Chao also asked about the situation of the academy, and learned about the current level of students.

After the banquet, Cai Yong invited Lin Chao to his home as a guest, and Lin Chao met Cai Yan after seven years of absence.

Cai Yan is now 27 years old, but she is still not married.

With Cai Yong's identity and the reputation of beheading Dong Zhuo, there are very few people in this world who are qualified to marry her, and there are even fewer people in the Xuzhou Group.

But the people in Xuzhou who were qualified to marry her were already married, and it was impossible for Cai Yan to be a concubine, so her marriage was delayed.

Fortunately, Cai Yan is now a teacher in the academy, busy teaching students all day long, and has less thoughts on talking about marriage.

Teaching for many years strengthened Cai Yan's ladylike aura and added a sense of majesty, which Lin Chao admired greatly.

At the age of 27, this is the best time for a woman, and as a teacher, Cai Yan's noble aura instantly aroused Lin Chao's interest.

Although he wanted to chat a little more, but this little girl's fighting power was too amazing, and Lin Chao had been defeated by her several times, so he didn't dare to speak out to make fun of her.

Cai Yan, on the other hand, served Lin Chao with tea very graciously, and even played a song for him personally, in order to repay the kindness of donating the book back then.

After becoming a teacher in the academy, Cai Yan realized how precious the "Three Character Classic" that Lin Chao gave him back then was so precious.It was also because of this book that she gained a firm foothold in the academy as a girl.

Regarding the interaction between his daughter and Lin Chao, Cai Yong not only did not object, but watched it with a smile, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning.

It's a pity that this wonderful atmosphere didn't last long, and there was a burst of shouting outside the door.

"Zi Chu, Zi Chu!"

Even after seven years, Lin Chao recognized Liu Bei's voice for the first time, so he quickly got up and walked out.

After he came out, he saw a miniature version of Tarzan standing in the courtyard, grinning at Lin Chao, followed by a group of civil servants and generals.

When Lin Chao saw that Zheng Yi was also in the crowd, he instantly understood who was plotting against him.

Thinking about it, Zheng Yi, as the son of a great Confucian, could never have told Lin Chao that his father was dying without anyone instigating him behind the scenes.

Lin Chao sighed helplessly, then straightened his clothes, walked up to Liu Bei and solemnly clasped his hands and said, "See Your Majesty!"

This was the first time Lin Chao saluted Liu Bei after he became king.

But the impatient Liu Bei couldn't allow Lin Chao to give a complete salute, so he grabbed Lin Chao's hands on the spot, laughed and used his unique skill-swimming with his arms!
"Zi Chu, I haven't seen you for many years, but I miss you so much!"

Feeling the enthusiasm from Liu Bei, Lin Chao felt nothing in his heart, and said in his mouth: "So, the king used tricks to trick Chao back?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was taken aback, and when he was about to speak, Guo Jia who was beside him said first, "Zi Chu's words are inappropriate, the king loves talents eagerly, how can you say it's a lie?"

Lin Chao glanced at Guo Jia, and already had an affirmative answer in his heart.

The person who came up with such insidious schemes must be Guo Fengxiao without a doubt!
Along with Liu Bei, in addition to the cabinet members, there were also Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Xun You and others from the Military Aircraft Mansion.

But everyone, including Liu Bei, was dressed in ordinary clothes.

Lin Chao was keenly aware of this scene, and a little smile appeared in his eyes.

The way I cut myself before has already played some role now.

If he was still Chang Shi, these people who came here today should have been greeted in official uniforms when they first arrived, and they would not be as casual as welcoming friends.

In fact, when Guo Jia decided to trick Lin Chao back, Liu Bei planned to lead civil and military officials out of the city to greet him, but he was opposed by everyone.

The reason they gave was simple, Lin Chao had no official position now, and he had not returned from meritorious service, so he couldn't afford such a big ostentation.

In desperation, Liu Bei proposed that everyone come together in casual clothes, and everyone agreed.

So, there is the present scene.

In Yushan Academy, after everyone exchanged pleasantries, Liu Bei asked Xun Yu to produce an order.

After Liu Bei ascended to the throne of King Xiao, he has surpassed the scope of being a minister in terms of jurisprudence, and the orders he issued have also been upgraded from jun orders to decrees.

The imperial edict has been reserved for the emperor since ancient times.

Order, the king can do it.

In fact, in the early Han Dynasty, the power of the princes and kings was quite large, and all the fiefdoms could exercise self-government.

Then Gaozu was worried about the instability of the country, so he eradicated all the princes and kings, and made a covenant of white horses, no one would be king unless he was Liu, but after his death, the Seven Kings Rebellion still broke out.

After the turmoil was quelled, the imperial court dispatched a prime minister to take back all the powers of the princes and kings, allowing them to be rich and idle, referred to as the pig raising strategy.

Although this is a well-known fact, at the institutional level, today's princes and kings still enjoy the same paper rights as the princes and kings of the early Han Dynasty.

And Liu Bei, the Xiao king, naturally had no one to restrain him, so he really took the power of the princes and kings in the system, and he could appoint hundreds of officials in the fief to govern the people.

As for this decree, it was for Lin Chao to appoint a new official position—Xiao Guoxiang!

In the Han Dynasty, the parallel system of prefectures and states was implemented. The state minister was an official position with a rank of two thousand stones, and he was in charge of all matters large and small within the feudal state.Although it is at the same level as the county guard, it is half a rank higher than the county guard in terms of rank.

In short, the official position of prime minister is a position between Jiuqing and the county guard.

It's just that Liu Bei's appointment of Xiao Guoxiang in the Lin Dynasty is quite different from other Han Dynasty ministers in terms of power.

The political core of the Liu Bei Group that now occupies the land of the four states is the result headed by Xiao Wang Liu Bei, just like the previous Taiwei Mansion.

Be it the Inner Mansion, the Military Aircraft Mansion, or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they are all attached to the throne of King Xiao.

And Xiao Guoxiang is in charge of all the military affairs of Xiao Guo, which is equivalent to Liu Bei's spokesperson.

In the past, when Liu Bei was the captain of Zhongshan, Lin Chao was the supervisor of the army.

Later, Liu Bei served as Xuzhou Mu, and Lin Chao served as Xuzhou Governor.

Later, Liu Bei was promoted to Taiwei, and Lin Chao served as the governor of Taiwei's mansion.

Now that Liu Bei has ascended to the throne of Xiao Wang, Lin Chao has returned from seclusion, and has suddenly transformed into the prime minister of Xiao Guo.

Everything is the same as before, and Liu Bei has truly achieved that he will never lose.

Lin Chao stood up, took the order with both hands, and solemnly said:
"Sir, obey!"

After a burst of hilarity, the repertoire of the Xuzhou Group began again - the banquet.

Liu Bei wasn't too picky, so he immediately ordered the chef of the Xuegong to give him and others a banquet, and he ate it at Cai Yong's house.

At a critical moment in the banquet, Lin Chao suddenly walked up to Guo Jia with a wine bottle, and said with a smile, "Brother Feng Xiao, we haven't seen each other for many years, I would like to offer you a drink."

Hearing Lin Chao speak in such a solemn tone, Guo Jia immediately became a little vigilant, and after carefully drinking the wine in the glass, he began to explain: "Zi Chu, it's not that someone is plotting against you, it's just... now I, the officials of Xuzhou, It’s already people’s minds moving, and everyone is eager to make meritorious deeds. Coupled with the matter of Yuan Gonggong’s arrogance and claiming the king, this person followed the trend and hoped that Brother Zichu would forgive him.”

The more polite Lin Chao was, the sooner Guo Jia would admit his cowardice.

"Hehe, why did Brother Feng Xiao make such a statement? It's just a trivial matter. I will definitely not blame my brother because of this matter. Come, let's have another drink to show the brotherhood between you and me!"

"Ah... how dare you disobey!"

Although surprised at Lin Chao's sudden generosity, Guo Jia didn't think much about it, and drank it down again.

The next moment, there was a sudden change!
When Guo Jia was drinking with his head up, he saw a fist getting bigger and bigger in his eyes.

boom!
Taking advantage of Guo Jia's unpreparedness, Lin Chao made a sneak attack decisively and gave Guo Jia a panda eye.

Dog, let you plot against me!
Shit you!

……

In the 11th year of Chuping, the first ten days of March.

Three days after Lin Chao returned, a large-scale meeting was held in the Government Affairs Hall.

This time, in addition to everyone from the Inner Palace, everyone from the Military Aircraft Mansion was also invited, as well as everyone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In short, all key departments in Xuzhou were present.

And the content of this meeting is also very simple. It is nothing more than going south to deal with Yuan Shu first, or going north to conquer aliens first.

In this regard, the opinions of the officials in Xuzhou were divided into two factions.

The first faction believes that Yuan Shu should be dealt with first when going south, this is the bottom line.

After all, Xuzhou's legal orthodoxy cannot be questioned. Once Yuan Shu is allowed to become king, the court's prestige will plummet. The same is true of Xiao Wang Liu Bei, who is one with the rise and fall of the court.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself king rashly, and all the princes in the world will be watching. If Xuzhou does not respond, other princes will inevitably follow suit, and it will be difficult to handle.

The so-called bottom line is something that cannot be taken a step back. Once you take a step back, you will take countless steps back.

Therefore, Xun Yu, who was the order of the inner government, expressed his views from the very beginning.

"Your Majesty, I think that Yuan Shu has usurped the title of king, and we must not condone and raise traitors. We should use thunderous means to kill him, so that we can show our majesty Tianwei!"

Xun Yu, who has always been gentle and elegant, took the lead in expressing his intention to conquer, which surprised everyone.

Immediately afterwards, Xun Chen came out more and more, and said, "Your Majesty, I think the government order is justified. Yuan's treason is no different from rebellion. Since he is a traitor, he must immediately send troops to punish him, otherwise he will encourage rebellion." The arrogance of a thief."

"Yes, this trend cannot last!" Kong Rong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also got up and said, "Everyone needs to know that Dong Bandit, who made troubles in the world and arbitrarily abolished the establishment, did not dare to establish a country and become king. Yuan Bandit's harm this time, Worse than Thief Dong, how can we condone traitors!"

After the three big brothers finished their speeches, all the people who supported the crusade against Yuan Shu stood up, clasped their hands together and said:

"My minister agrees!"

After listening to the opinions of these people, Liu Bei, who was sitting high on the throne, looked at Lin Chao subconsciously.

As an orthodox clan, he certainly supported the crusade against Yuan Shu.

But he also knew about Lin Chao's layout over the years, so he wanted to seek Lin Chao's opinion.

Seeing Liu Bei's gaze projected over, Lin Chao remained silent and did not express anything.

It's just that from the very beginning when he entered the government affairs hall, Lin Chao was holding a booklet in his hand, and he was still watching it intently.

As the Prime Minister of a country, Lin Chao would naturally not express his opinion easily, but some people couldn't wait any longer.

Guo Jia stood up with a panda eye, and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."
