As soon as the news of Liu Bei's claim to be king came out, the world was shaken. Cao Cao, who was in Xuchang, immediately issued a decree in the name of the imperial court to reprimand Liu Bei's actions, calling it an act of having no king and no father. He also called on all Hanchen in the Central Plains to send troops to attack Liu Bei. But in fact, at this time, no one in the world respects the dispatch of the imperial court anymore, and the Han Dynasty has reached the state of existence in name only.

Cao Cao reprimanded Liu Bei here, but he also moved his heart to be the king in private. The confidants Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Sima Yi and others arranged a scene of three persuasions and three resignations for Cao Cao, and finally Cao Cao agreed to the request of the ministers and the emperor to persuade him to be the king. In this way, he chose King Wei as his title among the King of Zhao and the King of Wei.

On the fifteenth day of the first month after Liu Bei became king, Cao Cao rushed to Xuchang with Emperor Han Xian, and after the sacrifice to the sky, Emperor Han Xian personally announced Cao Cao's throne. Since then, Cao Cao's forces have all been the territory of the Great Wei.

Sun Quan, who was in the south of the Yangtze River, saw Liu Bei and Cao Cao successively becoming kings, and he was not willing to be lonely. So he became king with the support of all the people. His king was chosen between the king of Wu and the king of Yue.

In just over a month since Liu Bei became king, the three kings of the Central Plains were tied together, and the three most powerful military groups of Qi, Wei, and Wu each claimed the king, and they occupied a total of 80% of the territory of the Central Plains.

Lu Bu, who was in Yanmen, actually moved his mind to be the king after learning that Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan were all kings. However, looking at the two cities under his command and the only Yanmen Mayi, he thought about it and gave up. However, Lu Bu, who was depressed, decided to personally lead his troops to the grassland to plunder, in the past, the Huns came to the state to plunder, but at this time the Huns had been greatly injured, and it was time for him Lu Bu to exert his might.

Liu Bei also learned the news of Cao Cao and Sun Quan's claim to be kings at this time, but Liu Bei was not very surprised. Because Han Fei had already analyzed it for him before, the next stage would enter the stalemate stage of the Three Kingdoms, and this stage would last for a long time, maybe five years or ten years.

However, as the first king of Liu Bei, he still got a lot of benefits, the most direct thing is that a large number of talents came to Qingzhou, which made Liu Bei's talents even more.

During this period, Han Fei came up with movable type printing, which was combined with the previous papermaking technology. All of a sudden, books are no longer the Maison's patent. The academic scope of Qingzhou has risen again. Just when all parts of the Central Plains were looking at it, Liu Bei's command revealed a more exciting news. That is, Liu Bei is going to hold the imperial examination in the autumn of this year.

Before this, the selection of talents was basically based on recommendation, for example, filial piety was the most commonly used way to select people in the Han Dynasty. Of course, during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, selling officials was also a method. But most of these methods have nothing to do with the poor, whether it is filial piety and selling officials, most of them are the patents of the family. It is really because of this that the poor students suffer from no way to be promoted, which has become a lot of big families, as well as the staff and retainers under the big officials.

At this time, the imperial examination system was born, and finally gave the poor students who studied hard in the cold window a way to advancement. Therefore, as soon as this news was issued, students from poor families all over the Central Plains rushed to celebrate each other. And everyone must go to the command of King Qi to take the imperial examination. Even in some distant places, there are already people who are ready to pack their bags and set off.

And Han Fei, who was the initiator of all this, didn't care much at all, he was anxiously waiting for the birth of another child of his own at the moment. It turned out that Cai Yan was going to produce again. As the eldest woman in the family, although this is not the first time to give birth, Han Fei is still extremely nervous. was afraid that something bad would happen, so he invited the divine doctor Hua Tuo to his house early.

"Master Sima, don't turn around anymore, can you sit down and have a cup of tea with the little old man?" Hua Tuo looked at Han Fei, who was anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, and said with a smile.

Han Fei stopped and looked at Hua Tuo, then sat on the stone bench and grabbed the teacup and poured it hard. As a result, I drank too quickly, choked on saliva and coughed. Hua Tuo shook his head again and again and said, "I said Master Sima, what is there to be nervous about you with me here." Besides, the midwives in the house are the most experienced, and there are as many as three people, and your wife will definitely be safe. ”

Maybe it was Hua Tuo's words that had an effect, and Han Fei's heart calmed down a little. At this moment, there was a miserable scream in the delivery room, and Han Fei's heart that had just been put down was lifted again. He rubbed himself to his feet and continued to pace. Hua Tuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, stopped talking, took a sip of the teacup, and simply closed his eyes and recuperated.

Time passed little by little, and Han Fei was almost about to break into the delivery room under all kinds of torment. Suddenly, a crisp baby cry sounded, and Han Fei sat down on the stone bench like a deflated ball. After a while, the midwife came to Han Fei with a baby in her arms and said, "Congratulations to Lord Sima, you are a daughter." Mother and daughter are safe! ”

"Daughter?! All right! Han Fei's eyes lit up and said, "Reward, big prize!" Then he took his daughter from the midwife's hand. The previous ones were all sons, and this time they finally have a daughter, and they all say that the daughter is the father's lover in the past life. Han Fei hugged his daughter and liked it more and more, and at this time, the little guy cried.

The nurse on the side hurried over to pick up the child, apparently the little one was hungry. Han Fei saw that the child was taken away, so he walked to the delivery room. Cai Yan regained some strength at this time, but he still lay on the bed with a pale face. Han Fei saw that his wife's face was ugly, so he hurriedly took a few steps and grabbed Cai Yan's hand and said, "Madame, you have worked hard for you." ”

Cai Yan smiled and said: "It is the duty of the concubine to be able to spread the branches and leaves for the husband, so why do you have to say that it is hard." It's just that this time I disappointed my husband, and it was a girl who was not angry. After speaking, his face couldn't help but darken.

Han Fei looked distressed and hurriedly said, "Madam, what are you talking about?" What a girl is, my favorite is a girl. If you give me another son, I'll have a headache!" ”

Cai Yan knew that Han Fei was comforting herself, but she was still very happy to hear Han Fei say this. The production just now consumed too much of her physical strength, and at this time, her mind was relieved and she fell asleep groggily. Han Fei helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, and then instructed the maid behind him to take good care of his wife, and then he turned and left the room.

At this time, the people in the house have begun to arrange under the command of Mihuan, and there will be a lot of guests to congratulate them later, and they need to be arranged in advance!
