"What does the king want to do next?"

On the way back, Zhuge Liang, who had been by Xu Tian's side, asked.

He and Shen Du both saw the scene just now.

Of course.

They also understood what Xu Tian meant.

Whatever you do, you can't do what the enemy wants.

Since Sun Quan has designed everything, then in Xu Tian's words, only he can have the final say in all this.

Humiliating Zhang Zhao and reluctantly accepting what they sent was just the first step.

"Next, it's up to Wei Guo's reaction...."Xu Tian's voice came faintly from the carriage.

Zhuge Liang and Shen Du glanced at each other, and they both showed a smile of understanding...

...

After Xu Tian came, there was no other sound on the dock.

All of them, including the servants, held their breath.

The Chu army around is no longer watching!

Something that doesn't have suspense can't get the attention of others.

After placing all the supplies of the warship, Zhang Zhao left directly from the dock.

Since Xu Tian treats himself with such an attitude, it would be a bit humiliating for him to resign again.

But.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhao still took the servants of Jiangdong and bowed respectfully in the direction of Xiangyang.

At this scene, Chu Jun, who saw the surroundings, sighed.

They themselves didn't expect that their Chu State and their king had become so powerful.

The gentle river breeze came with a slight chill, blowing Zhang Zhao's gray hair, which looked particularly desolate.

During this period of time, Zhang Zhao seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

If it weren't for his firm mind, I'm afraid he would have collapsed long ago under such high pressure.

"Elder Zhang, are we really going back?"

One of the servants couldn't help it, came to the deck, and said with a respectful fist clench.

This time, for the sake of safety, the servants brought by Zhang Zhao were all people who had been cultivated by his Zhang Mansion for many years.

Therefore.

Even if these people are servants, they are still qualified to ask Zhang Zhao questions.

But.

Zhang Zhao obviously didn't want to speak, his body didn't move at all, and he still looked at the advancing river with indifference.

The servant sighed and slowly returned to the cabin.

He didn't want to provoke Zhang Zhao at such a time.

Otherwise, even if he is a servant who has served the other party for many years, he will inevitably have bad luck.

"May God bless, Koto get through this time...."

Zhang Zhao's muttering echoed above the river....

.....

After accepting all the supplies sent by Jiangdong and returning to Xiangyang, Xu Tian began to do what he had wanted to do for a long time.

Paper books have long spread in Xiangyang, and people seem to be accustomed to reading paper books.

After all.

Compared with the current bamboo, there is really no comparison.

Xu Tian has always wanted to break the monopoly of the scholars on official careers.

The key to this matter lies in the deep-rooted thoughts in people's hearts.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, people seem to have formed a habit of monopolizing the scholars.

It's like Shen Du.

He himself suffered from it, but he always had a fear of the scholars.

Xu Tian knew very well that if he wanted to do this, he couldn't be in a hurry.

What he needs is time to measure, as long as people accept books on a large scale, and many things are asked to do without him, there will naturally be changes.

Just like now, he put forward the requirement to pass the exam to enter the official career, and the obstacles are less than before, I don't know how much.

Although there are still many people who oppose it from the bottom of their hearts, Xu Tian knows that there will be fewer and fewer such people.

Over the years, Xiangyang University has cultivated a large number of students.

If you want to start your first expedition, you can start it at any time.

"King, are you really going to do this?" Zhuge Liang is obviously still resistant to such a thing.

Because of the education he received since childhood, he was not allowed to accept such an invitation.

It's just that now Xu Tian is his lord, and he can only give advice on the decisions he makes.

Zhuge Liang will disagree, Xu Tian has long understood this.

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Du didn't quite agree.

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Shen Du took over his words.

"Yes, my lord, this matter is not trivial, the slightest carelessness may cause civil strife!

At such a time, should we maintain absolute strength? ”

Shen Du originally thought that this matter had passed for so long, and Xu Tian might have given up such an idea.

Unexpectedly, at such a critical time, Xu Tian brought up this matter, and he naturally couldn't accept it for a while.

"If this is done, what you have endured before will never happen again!" Xu Tianda looked at Shen Du Dao meaningfully.

He wasn't blaming Shen Du, Xu Tian just wanted to know how Shen Du's character and what happened to him would oppose this matter.

"The minister is grateful to the king for always keeping in mind the minister's request, but after all, the minister is only an individual, if the minister rashly changes the established facts, which will cause civil strife.

Then, even if the minister dies, he will not be able to escape the blame! ”

In the end, Shen Du even knelt in front of Xu Tian.

"What are you doing, get up!"

Xu Tian never expected that Shen Du's reaction would be so big!

However, since Xu Tian has decided, he will not change because of their opposition.

It's just that.

He is not an arbitrary person.

"Let's talk about it later..."Xu Tian sighed secretly, and then sat aside.

Shen Du also knew that he might have angered Xu Tian this time.

But he had to do this, and he knew how powerful the warriors were.

If, because of Xu Tian himself, he changed all this, which caused a bigger problem, then he himself didn't know how to meet Xu Tian.

Obviously.

Shen Du has now completely attributed Xu Tian's motive for doing this to himself.

Zhuge Liang also frowned.

He didn't know if what he was doing was right, you must know that since he followed Xu Tian, the other party had never been a casual person.

What's more, if Xu Tian succeeds, it can indeed solve many problems that they can't solve yet.

But this matter is so big that no matter what I say, I don't know what to do.

For a long time after Xu Tian said that, neither of them was saying a word between them.

The atmosphere was inexplicably weird.

Zhuge Liang and the others didn't even know what Xu Tian wanted them to wait for.

Nearly half an hour later, footsteps rang out outside the room they were in.

After a while, Lu Tianba pushed the door and entered, standing respectfully in front of Xu Tian....
