With the arrival of winter, the new year is also coming.

The vassal kings, including Liu Bei, naturally also received invitations from Liu Tao to be proclaimed emperor, inviting them to attend the ceremony. This is the first time that Liu Tao has publicly stated: Lao Tzu is going to be the emperor!

Everyone called the king, they were all secretive, and when they came to Liu Tao, they didn't call the king anymore, they directly called the emperor, and they also sent invitations to invite the kings of the world to come over to participate in the ceremony, which was a bit arrogant.

It was only in the face of the invitation he sent that after internal discussions, the vassal kings still chose to send envoys to participate. The main plan is to take the opportunity to spy on Liu Tao's intelligence.

"The King of Shu sent Zou Jing over, and the King of Chu sent Kuai Yue over; King Han sent Luo Jun over; The King of Wei sent Liu Ye over; King Xu sent Mi Zhu over; The king of Qi sent Wu Anguo over; King Zhao sent Xu Yu over; King Yan sent Liu Bei over. Guo Jia briefly reported the list, and finally added, "King Wu sent Xu Gong over......"

"King Wu? When was there one more King Wu? Liu Tao was a little surprised.

"It is Liu Dai's younger brother Liu Xuan, who originally went to Jianghuai, and was later jointly elected by Wu County Taishou Shengxian, Huiji Taishou Wang Lang, Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin, and Lujiang County Taishou Lu Kang, and called King Wu in Wu County." Guo Jia replied.

Liu Xuan? It's that Sun Ce's experience bag! I didn't expect that this guy would not be a Yangzhou pastor, and he could be elected to be the king!

"Speaking of which, what is the attitude of the Taishou of Jiujiang and Yuzhang counties?" Liu Tao had to ask.

"Yuzhang guards Zhuge Xuan, which is recommended by Liu Biao, that is to say, Yuzhang County currently belongs to the power of the King of Chu." Guo Jia thought about it and replied, the king of Chu had Yuzhang County as a springboard to attack Danyang and other places, but it was only a matter of time.

After a pause, he continued: "As for Liu Miao, the Taishou of Jiujiang County, he is still neutral at present. ”

"Neutrality, in this case, can he remain neutral? By the way, isn't he also a member of the Han family? Liu Tao teased a little, and then asked.

"Indeed, Liu Miao is the fifth grandson of Liu Jing, the evil filial piety king of Lang, and he is also a relative of the Han family. So whether it is King Han, King Xu or King Wu, they are all fighting for him, and there is no excesses at present. Because of this, Liu Miao did not dare to make an easy decision on who to throw himself to, under the encirclement of the three forces. Guo Jia nodded.

This Liu Miao is actually not easy...... Forget it, don't bury others (Liu Miao: 〒▽〒).

The people sent by the vassal kings this time have something to do with him to some extent. However, the vassal kings themselves did not mean to come in person, so it can be seen that they are still a little wary of themselves.

"There are still two things now...... Liu Tao stretched out two fingers, "How is Sun Kuang's situation?" Also, how are the preparations for the imperial examination?! ”

Some time ago, I simply went to see Sun Kuang, who was seven or eight years old, and it was not easy to come over as a hostage. And because of the relationship between water and soil, the body was a little weak at first. It took a while for the two brothers to recuperate, and then they were relieved.

"My body is fine, and I exercise and read every day according to the requirements of the lord." Guo Jia replied.

Many people don't quite understand why Liu Tao asked Sun Jian for Sun Yi. Just as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu guessed, many people doubted whether Sun Yi had the talent to cultivate immortals.

I can't say, Sun Jian was so suspicious, so he kept Sun Yi and sent Sun Kuang over instead.

"Well, as long as the daily tasks are completed, then don't limit him for the rest of the time, the necessary freedom still has to be given. I didn't expect him to be a hostage, but if he could succeed in his studies in the future, pass the imperial examination, and shine in the local area. Liu Tao said indifferently.

Sun Yi's words can still be arranged to serve in the army, but it is estimated that he will not be able to guard the place, after all, he was killed by his subordinates in history. If His Majesty can't do it, what else can he do to defend one side?

As for Sun Kuang's words, I don't know what will happen, first of all, I have to get rid of the problem of his early death.

Sun Yi has no talent for cultivating immortals, and Liu Tao's magic tower can be passed on directly to his own children. I just thought that Sun Ce and Sun Quan couldn't get it, so I wanted you to be Sun Yi, right? When the Sun family fights on the battlefield for themselves, isn't it cool?

Yes, this is his selfishness, which is purely due to playfulness, and has no other meaning. What others guess, that's someone else's business, make Sun Yi the heir of the immortal law or something, it's up to them......

As for the follow-up, whether Sun Jian will be set on fire by the princes is none of his business.

"Find him a few friends appropriately, you can't stay alone, it's easy to ......be withdrawn," Liu Tao thought for a while and added.

In fact, there are people who are about the same age, such as Huang Zhong's Huang Xu, Lu Wen of Lu Bu's family, and Guan Ping of Guan Yu's family. There are more, but Liu Tao can't remember them all.

Among them, Guan Ping, who crusaded against Hedong earlier, didn't Guan Yu divide his troops? At that time, he took the opportunity to go back to his hometown, which was regarded as a return to his hometown, and he also picked up his wife by the way, as well as Guan Ping, the eldest son of him and his wife.

Liu Tao originally thought that Guan Ping in this world was still Guan Yu's righteous son, but it seems that this is according to the official history, and he is directly the eldest son of this one.

I look more than ten years old, and the age of the few little children is also quite old, but because of the problem of the family environment, the personality is not very public. Originally, he was going to follow Guan Yu to Sizhou, but Guan Yu left him in Jinyang.

said that the learning atmosphere here is good, and there are strong people like Huang Zhong who can help teach him. In fact, Liu Tao knew in his heart that this was to keep a proton, and he said that he was a brother, and he gave himself this thing......

"This, can only give them a chance to get in touch, as for whether they can play together, it depends on them." Guo Jia reminded.

"Of course, it's free to make friends!" Liu Tao smiled, "By the way, your kid is also three years old this year?" ”

Guo Jia got married three years ago, perhaps because of the thin relationship between the family, and it is normal to get married and have children early. Seventeen years old is actually not too early, some children the year before last are now three years old. After all, it is the same age as Liu Tao's own two little children.

"It is true that the Lord is worried." Guo Jia smiled.

Chen Gong next to him was a little sour, he was from a poor family, and he had just considered getting married, and the kid next to him was only twenty years old this year, and the children in the family were all three years old.

"If you have time to bring it over, maybe you can play with Liu Cong." Liu Tao said with a smile, adults have a circle of adults, and children must always have a circle of children, and often the children of these core courtiers will also be the core team of his heir.

"Thanks to the lord's affordability, Jiahui arranged it." Guo Jia said with a smile, it is a very honorable thing for a courtier to be able to enter the circle of Liu Tao's direct heir.

Liu Tao is also happy, Ji Mu was diagnosed a few days ago, Cai Yan, Ren Hongchang, and even Zhen Jiang are pregnant. Around July and August next year, three more children will be born. It's just that Zhen Jiang is only seventeen this year, and she is pregnant at this time, which makes people a little worried!

"Okay, how is the situation in the imperial examination?" Of course, Liu Tao has not forgotten what really matters.
