After Zhao Xu agreed, Liu Bei asked people to immediately copy Zhao Xu's "Iron and Blood Loyalty", and Zhao Xu invited Liu Bei and others to sit down in the hall.

"Haha! Lord, everyone, I will get straight to the point, why do you have time to come to me today? Could it be that there is war again? Zhao Xu smiled: "Well, now at this hour, it seems that it is time to eat lunch, my lord, you will not make an appointment to come to my place to eat, right?" ”

"Hahaha! Boxiong, you are now a general in the army, and you are still so poor, you! Liu Bei said with a smile. In Liu Bei's heart, he has long regarded Zhao Xu as his fourth brother, although he did not bow to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but his dealings with Zhao Xu on weekdays are no less than Guan and Zhang, so the relationship between Zhao Xu and Liu Bei is also very good.

"Hahaha! This is called 'unscrupulous means are not heroes, and they are true heroes who do not change their original intentions!' Zhao Xu didn't care about Liu Bei's jokes, and laughed.

"Poof!" Zhao Xue, who was holding stewed chicken outside the door and was about to send it to Zhao Xu, saw Liu Bei and the others inside, and hesitated for a while whether to go in, and suddenly heard Zhao Xu praise himself like this, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Fei listened to the sound and left, and when he saw that it was Zhao Xue, he immediately shouted: "Yo! Brother and sister, you are here, why don't you come in? Hurry up, don't be stunned, come in and sit! When Zhang Fei said this, he was mainly anti-guest, as if Zhao Xue was a guest, and everyone was speechless for a while.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others have always admired Zhao Xue's heroes among women, women do not let their eyebrows be bearded, and they do not look at Zhao Xue with ordinary concepts of dignity and inferiority, and they do not think that Zhao Xue is inferior to themselves because she is a woman. Then Zhang Fei led Zhao Xue in, and as soon as Zhao Xue came in, he sent the stewed chicken soup to the table next to Zhao Xu, and then greeted Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others one by one.

After the visit, Zhao Xue was about to go out, this is also the habit of the husband as the wife now, the woman is not allowed to serve the table when the man in the family invites him to dinner, and in front of Liu Bei, Zhao Xu is not easy to stop. At this time, Liu Bei shouted: "Brother and sister are both wise and brave, not ordinary women, not to mention that we are discussing the affairs of the world, my brother and sister may be able to come up with ideas, but we don't have to go out." ”

Seeing Liu Bei's mouthful of a "younger brother and sister", he obviously regarded Zhao Xu as a younger brother, and he also did not treat Zhao Xue with ordinary concepts, which made Zhao Xu also moved.

The lord let go, and Zhao Xue was inconvenient to refuse, and was about to move a chair to sit next to Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu hurriedly got up and moved the chair to his side, led Zhao Xue to sit down, and then turned his head to the maid on the side and ordered: "You go to the kitchen to bring refreshments here." ”

"Yes. The slave and the maid obeyed. The handmaidens left immediately, and here, only Zhao Xu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and others remained.

"My lord, what is the matter with the sudden arrival today? Why did you come here in person? Zhao Xu saw that there were no idlers at the scene, so he asked Liu Bei.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and the others, and said, "It's not that I have something to do this time, but that several military advisors have something to say, and they have to come to you." ”

Zhao Xu looked at it, not only Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, and Fa Zheng, but also Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Zhi also had different expressions, and suddenly thought of the northern Zhuyi just now, and secretly thought: Could it be that Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei to ask for a reward or something...... The person was here, and Zhao Xu didn't speculate much for a while, and asked directly: "Military advisor, if you have something to say, just say it!" You don't have to hide it. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "This time we are here, it's not something else, let's say so!" Boxiong, do you think that if we pacify the north, what should the Son of Heaven do? ”

Zhao Xu was taken aback, and sure enough, this was the case. looked at Liu Bei and said, "Pacifying the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan tribes is the great achievement of the country, and you have to be crowned the king and worship the general!" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face changed, and he shouted: "Don't be rude, Kong Ming and Yun Chang, you called me today, do you want me to be the king?" ”

Liu Bei was right, after coming back, Zhao Xu didn't think about it so much for a while, he just wanted to take a good rest. And Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Guan Yu and others couldn't sit still, and they all thought that if they made such a great contribution, they must be crowned kings. went to persuade Liu Bei together, but Liu Bei repeatedly shirked and couldn't persuade him for a while. Among the civil and military ministers, only Zhao Xu did not come, Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others all secretly thought: Zhao Xu is both civil and military, and he has the greatest credit, plus Zhao Xu, maybe he can persuade the lord. After a few people discussed, they found an excuse to pull Liu Bei to Zhao Xu's mansion.

Guan Yu said: "Today, the son is weak, and the people have no owner. The lord's benevolence and righteousness are written in the world, not to mention that there are now four states, and the north is stable, so you can respond to the heavens and people, ask for the throne, and the name is right, so as to determine the world. Without further ado, I asked the eldest brother to choose an auspicious day to take the throne. ”

Liu Bei was shocked: "Yun Chang's words are bad. Although he is a brother of the Han clan, he is a courtier, and if he does this without authorization, he is anti-Han. ”

Zhao Xue understood as soon as she heard it, and also persuaded Liu Bei: "Although Zhao Xue is a woman, she also knows that what General Guan said is reasonable. Now that it is falling apart, heroes are rising, and the princes are dominating one side, and I don't know how many people have ill intentions; What's more, talented and virtuous people from all over the world, all of whom sacrifice death and life to do things on them, all want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to establish fame. Now the lord avoids suspicion and observes righteousness, and I am afraid that he will lose the hope of the people. Please also ask the lord to think about it. ”

Zhao Xue's head is the Tao, and every sentence is reasonable, which startled Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Guan Yu and others, and secretly admired Zhao Xue in his heart, both civil and military, and outstanding talent. I also secretly envy Zhao Xu for having such a good wife, thinking about it like this, Zhao Xu's actions just now are also reasonable, originally everyone was still strict with Zhao Xu's wife, but now it seems that there is no reason not to love such a good wife.

Liu Bei was also taken aback, listening to what Zhao Xue said, there was nothing unreasonable. Secretly pondered for a while, and said slowly: "If I want to seal the throne without authorization, I will not dare." We'll discuss the long-term strategy later. ”

At this time, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhiqi knelt down and persuaded: "If the lord (elder brother) only pushes back like this, the hearts of the people will be relieved." ”

Zhao Xu also persuaded: "The lord is based on righteousness, and if he refuses to claim the throne, he is also reasonable." It's just that the lord now has the land of Qing, Hebei, You, and four states, and even the Xiongnu are only in Luanti Qiangqu, Xianbei is single in Putou, and the lord has the heart to make the lord the king, if the lord does not ask for merit to be the king, the people will be disappointed, and at that time, the people's hearts and the army will be scattered, and the lord will not be able to do it. ”

As soon as Zhao Xu said this, he was poking Liu Bei's heart, Liu Bei's expression changed greatly, Zhuge Liang and others were also secretly happy, and sure enough, it was not wrong to come to Zhao Xu to persuade Liu Bei. Everyone was silent for a while, and Liu Bei had to answer, and after a long time, Liu Bei said from his mouth: "What you said is also very reasonable, but you just want to respect me as the king, and you can't have the edict of the Son of Heaven, it's arrogant, isn't this even more rude?" ”

Zhang Fei shouted: "If everyone with a different surname wants to be the emperor today, not to mention that my brother is a sect of the Han Dynasty?" Don't say that to be a king is to be called an emperor, why not? ”

Liu Bei changed color and shouted: "You don't say much." ”

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said: "The lord should change from the power, now the matter of the king first, it just so happens that now Luan Tiqiangqu and Putou have not yet met the Son of Heaven, and we will go to Chang'an together in a few days, and it will not be too late to play the Son of Heaven when the time comes." ”

"As Boxiong (husband) said, please also ask the lord (brother) to make a decision." The crowd shouted in unison. It's already like this, and he can't help but be unwilling, Liu Bei can't refuse, so he has to agree.

Zhuge Liang said happily: "Since the lord is willing, it is the best." ”

Everyone also congratulated Liu Bei, Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Alas! You guys, it seems to be colluding. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked dazed, laughed, and even Zhao Xue covered her mouth and laughed. When Liu Bei saw it, he couldn't help laughing, this is natural, Liu Bei has the world in his heart, he is the king, and he was forced by his subordinates, which is enough to show that his subordinates respect him, how can he be unhappy.

"By the way, my lord, I have a big matter to ask for, and I ask my lord for approval." Zhao Xu suddenly remembered one thing, a great man in later generations once said: 'A hundred years of planning, education-oriented. 'Now in troubled times, the world is divided, and the inspection system is still held. Many of those who became officials had opened up relationships, or had filial piety in the township. Although it is said that he is an official with filial piety, there are still many filial sons from poor families who have been covered up, so that they have struggled on the line of life and death all their lives.

Now there are very few poor children who have become famous for their culture and talent, and even Zhuge Liang can be called the "second generation of officials". Most of them are like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, with a second-rate level of education, relying on their own martial arts strength. Although Guan Yu likes to read the Spring and Autumn Period and some military books, he still has fewer of them. Lu Meng has become a general with both civil and military skills because of his hard work, and if Guan Yu reads more history books and realizes the fate of underestimating his opponent, his personality should also be somewhat restrained.

"What's the matter, Boxiong, you just say it, as long as it's not out of the ordinary, you will definitely allow it." Liu Bei said boldly.

"Good! Since this is the case, then I will say that I have the intention to build schools in the two prefectures of Qingdao, Hebei, Hebei and Youzhou, lower the admission standards, and reduce or exempt tuition fees, so that all the children of the poor families in my four states can learn knowledge. In addition, the Xiongnu and Xianbei people can also be allowed to come to the school to study, the establishment of the ethnic school, my Chinese culture, broad and profound, will also make them yearn for, one can increase the number of national talents, the other can also enhance the Xianbei, Xiongnu and other ethnic groups to understand our Han culture, enhance the harmony between the ethnic groups, enhance the centripetal force. In addition, the establishment of a martial arts hall, although the generals of our army are strong, but the number is still too small, so that the generals in the army can look for people with good qualifications as disciples in the martial arts hall to teach their martial arts, so that our army will have successors, and there will be no talent gap. I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”

For a country to develop and a nation to progress, excellent education is essential. Although at the beginning of man, nature is good; But I still believe that good and evil coexist in people's bodies, and the so-called "one thought becomes a demon, and one thought becomes a Buddha". Without proper education or guidance, people can easily become bad. As for the martial arts hall, in order to prevent the situation of no generals in the later period of the Shu Han Dynasty, it is also the best choice for each general to accept apprentices.

Cao Cao paid more attention to talent training than Liu Bei, so it accounted for one-half of the world at that time, and there were far more Wenchen fierce generals than Shu and Wu, not like Shu Han and Eastern Wu, only relying on a few generals and a few strategists to support the situation, not to mention Dongwu, since the death of a generation of generals left by Sun Ce, in addition to Lu Xun is still a little capable, there is no person to take a shot. Shu Han is also miserable, since Wei Yan's death, the entire Shu State has not even had a general who can stand alone, and there is a shortage of talents so much that Liao Hua is more than seventy years old and acts as a pioneer.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "The construction of a school and the establishment of military management are indeed feats for the country and the people. It's just that, according to Boxiong, this kind of scale will have a big impact on the treasury of our four states, and we have to think about it in the long run. ”

Listening to what Liu Bei said, Zhao Xu also fell into deep thought, yes! Although Qingzhou is now rich in the world, it is still a bit difficult to establish a school and martial arts hall of such a scale with the current economy.

Fa Zheng is in charge of the treasury, so he naturally knows his own economic background, so he saw that Fa Zheng made a slight calculation and said: "What Boxiong said, although the scale is grand, it is not necessarily impossible, with our current treasury funds, it is not a problem to set up a school, but it is a little difficult to add the same number of martial arts halls." ”

"Haha, if that's the case, don't worry about the martial arts hall filial piety, anyway, there is a lot of open space, and it is not impossible to set up the martial arts hall next to the military camp or in the military camp." Seeing that Fa Zheng was worried about this matter, Zhuge Liang laughed.

Guan Yu also wanted to have the heart of accepting apprentices, and he also wanted to let the heroes of the world know that his Guan family's sword skills were powerful, and he heard that it was not a problem to set up a martial arts hall to accept apprentices, and said happily: "If this is the case, it is very good, set it up next to the military camp, let those juniors suffer a little, this is the cultivation of successors." ”

Liu Bei was pleasantly surprised: "If it can solve the problem, it is excellent, and going to school is also one of my childhood wishes!" You don't have to worry about the martial arts hall, it's just that this academy is ...... Kong Ming, filial piety, Wenhe, there are many things in the school, and everything is a problem with the source of the teacher, can you solve it? Although Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, he is also from a poor family, and it is also one of his wishes to let the majority of poor children in the world enter the school to study.

"For the people of the world, we are duty-bound!" The three of them said in unison.

"That is, it can be solved! Then Zhao Xu will ask the three of them! (To be continued)! ~！
