Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

While Li Xiang was smiling awkwardly, he couldn't help but secretly curse his own father for being such an unworthy father who even hid the truth from his own son.

Li Xi said that she was still immature and that he was not a three-year-old child but was already over ten years old, yet he did not leak any information.

Immediately, Li Xiang couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being stupid. During this period of time, his mother had been eating and drinking well every day, without any sign of worry.

I thought that my mother, who usually never cared about affairs outside the house, didn't know the seriousness of the matter, but I was afraid that she had already known the truth.

When Li Xiang thought of this, he felt resentful and aggrieved. His thoughts changed rapidly and he answered with a stiff smile.

"Xiang'er took it upon himself to ask the Crown Prince to contact the General of the Cavalry and the General of the Chariot Cavalry to advise them to kill the treacherous villains. I beg the King of Han to forgive me for my crime."

"Not guilty, not guilty."

Liu Bei responded with a smile, not doubting what the ten-year-old Li Xiang said, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"But haven't we said it privately several times? Xiang'er, just call me uncle. There's no need to be so formal."

Li Xiang, whose head was still buzzing, agreed.

"Yes, uncle."

Soon after, Liu Bei stayed for a long time, explaining that the previous conflicts with Li Ji were all due to other plans, and told Li Xiang that he did not need to worry. Then he arranged for someone to send A Dou back to the Prince of Han's Palace, so as not to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for too long and attract attention, and then he left through the side door.

After seeing Liu Bei and A Dou off, Li Ji, who looked calm, reached out and patted Li Xiang on the shoulder and said.

"You must be sweating so much that your underwear must be soaked. Xiang'er, go back and take a shower and change your clothes first."

Li Xiang opened his mouth and had many things to ask Li Ji, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that it seemed unnecessary.

"Yes, father."

Li Xiang bowed and prepared to leave, then go back to have a good sleep.

"Xiang'er..."

Suddenly, Li Ji's voice made Li Xiang, who had just taken a few steps, stop.

"This matter will be settled tomorrow, and then I will lead the troops to go to war. Once I leave, I will not return to Shouchun until the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are unified."

Li Xiang's expression changed. He was not only sad about Li Ji's upcoming departure, but also noticed a change in attitude.

That was an attitude that implicitly began to treat Li Xiang as an adult.

"I wish my father a safe and triumphant return soon."

"Ah."

Li Ji understood what Li Xiang meant, which was that safety was the most important thing, but both of them felt awkward in some aspects and were unwilling to speak out directly.

"From now on, I will entrust most of the household affairs to you. It is also time for you to go to Rende Academy with Adou to study and learn more about governing a country and being a human being."

"Yes."

"There is one more thing. The Women's Training Academy will be established soon. Xi'er will also study there. Please keep an eye on her."

Li Ji slowly told Li Xiang the story, but he was a little confused. However, he nodded to show that he understood.

Cai Yong once wrote a book called "Female Training" for educating girls. The content of the book is not like the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, which teaches the three obediences and four virtues. Cai Yong's "Female Training" actually teaches that women should dress properly, pay attention to their appearance, and cultivate their character and morality like their clothes, so as to follow the right path.

It was for this reason that Li Ji proposed to set the tone by establishing an academy in the name of female training, so as to prevent the Han Dynasty from being led into the deep pit of "women's virtue lies in their lack of talent" by some people with ulterior motives in the future.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the status of women was already extremely high.

Not only did Qin law stipulate that "if a husband keeps a boar as a loan, there is no crime in killing him," but the widow of Ba, Qing, was so wealthy in business that she was even treated with courtesy by the First Emperor.

In the Han Dynasty, not only did Empress Lü set a precedent for women to hold power, but Zhuo Wenjun's freedom in pursuing marriage was not criticized by the world, and talented women emerged in large numbers.

So Li Ji took the initiative to push forward this matter. Naturally there was resistance, but it was minimal.

In particular, Cai Yong, who wrote "Nu Xun", was quite supportive of this matter and easily set the tone.

However, after talking so much, Li Ji suddenly realized that it was too early to tell Li Xiang some things, so he simply waved his hand and motioned Li Xiang to leave.

Li Xiang looked at Li Ji with his hands behind his back, bowed, and then turned and left.

Li Ji also stayed in the mansion to enjoy his last peaceful moments. In the evening, after issuing an order to seal off the Prime Minister's Mansion and not allowing anyone to enter or leave, he simply showed up in the mansion openly and had dinner with Zhao Ji and his two children.

However, just across the wall from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the situation outside was even more tense.

At dusk, Liu Bei, who had always refused to meet with the outside world, sent someone to tell all the civil and military officials to convene a court meeting the next morning.

This news undoubtedly pushed the tense atmosphere in the city to the limit. Everyone's mind was confused and worried, and everyone was making preparations.

This night was a sleepless night for many people.

The same was true for Jiang Gan. He almost stayed up all night. With bloodshot eyes, he put on his official robe and rushed to the government office early.

As we got closer to the government office, we met more and more officials and generals on the road. Everyone had a worried look on their faces, and the air seemed to be filled with solemnity.

When Jiang Gan rushed to the government office, he found that a large number of civil and military officials were already standing there, but the atmosphere was solemn and no one spoke.

This made Jiang Gan even more nervous. Knowing that a storm was about to come, he couldn't help but want to watch the show, and even felt a little complacent.

Jiang Gan thought to himself, if he had not managed to persuade Li Ji to leave Shouchun, what happened today would not have happened.
Although he could not hide his guilt and regret towards the prime minister, Jiang Gan could not help but feel excited when he thought of the high position and generous salary that the King of Wei had prepared for him after this matter was settled.

When the Han Dynasty falls apart again and the King of Wei unifies the world and ascends the throne as emperor, he will surely have a place among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers.

While Jiang Gan was secretly imagining, the time for the court meeting had arrived and all the civil and military officials had taken their positions.

Liu Bei came out wearing a crimson gauze court gown with black edges, a purple cap, a royal sword and a royal crown.

But before the standing civil and military officials could bow and salute, Li Ji, who appeared behind Liu Bei, shocked them all. Many of them almost blurted out "Prime Minister".

Jiang Gan, who was at the back of the group of civil and military officials, was even more confused and subconsciously thought he was seeing things.

Liu Bei, who walked to the throne, did not sit down. Instead, he brought Li Ji to the front of the civil and military officials. After looking around, he suddenly drew his sword and said.

"Today, I have called you all here for only one reason, and that is..."

"Send troops to the north today!"

This sound was like thunder exploding in the heads of the civil and military officials, and then their blood surged uncontrollably. (End of this chapter)
