"The matter of Yizhou is Lao Kongming." Liu Bei arched his hand.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly returned the salute, "This is a matter within the subordinate's responsibility, and the lord does not need to do this." ”

Liu Bei has always been polite to the officials under his command, but in the eyes of the officials under his rule, this kind of behavior can make them feel more satisfied, the courtesy of the monarch is not something that ordinary people can enjoy, and Liu Bei has relied on this method over the years to subdue a lot of civil and military generals.

Zhuge Liang is such a shrewd person, naturally he will not debunk Liu Bei's tricks, and Liu Bei attaches great importance to him, and now his influence in Yizhou is second only to Liu Bei.

"Lord, now the saint is unknown, indulged in wine all day long, ignoring the government, why don't you persuade each other, when the world is in turmoil, the courtier Si Mingjun also." Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Bei nodded, but his heart moved, especially the last sentence, which touched Liu Bei a lot, the courtier Si Mingjun, if he became the emperor, he would definitely be Mingjun, so as to order the people of Yizhou to become the emperor, Liu Bei did not expect it, but to become the emperor, he needed nominal support, and now Liu Qi is still here, and Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son.

As if he saw Liu Bei's inner thoughts, Zhuge Liang said in a low voice: "Now the lord sent soldiers and horses to seize the land of Bajun and threaten Hanzhong, no one can compare with his prestige, with the merit of the lord, it is enough to be called the king, Gaozu White Horse swears, and a different surname cannot be called the king, but the lord is a relative of the Han family, and it is reasonable to call the king, so that the lord is similar to Sun Quan and Lu Bu in terms of status." ”

Liu Bei was silent for a long time and said: "Kong Ming, if you are the king, will it cause turmoil in Yizhou?" ”

"Not only will this not be the case, but it can also make Yizhou more stable, and the officials of Yizhou are taking refuge in the lord." Zhuge Liang said.

"I'll leave this matter to Kong Ming." Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a fine light, calling the king, for the Han family, it is still a huge glory, and after being called the king, it means that he has greater power, just Zhuge Liang's words are a vague reminder, Zhuge Liang will not be able to hear it, but Liu Qi's current behavior is really not what a qualified emperor should have, if it continues to develop according to the current situation, Liu Qi's influence in Yizhou will become weaker and weaker, and the influence of the Han family will decrease.

Under the influence of Liu Zhang, the family in Yizhou is still in awe of the Han family, how would they feel if they saw Liu Qi like this all day long.

The next day, Zhuge Liang was in the court, united with a number of ministers, and listed Liu Bei as the king of Hanzhong, mentioning Liu Bei's various achievements.

The rest of the officials remained silent after hearing these remarks, calling the king, in their opinion, maybe it is a specific manifestation of Liu Bei's desire to go further, but now the saint is unknown, too much trust in Liu Bei, even if they advise, it will not have too good an effect, but will cause Liu Bei's suspicion, Liu Bei is the master of Yizhou, if they offend Liu Qi to curry favor with Liu Bei, they may be able to survive, and the other way around is dangerous.

Liu Qi was simply thoughtful, thought for a moment and said: "General Liu has been fighting in the east and west for many years, and he has worked hard and made meritorious contributions, so he should be like this, pass on my will, and crown Liu Bei as the king of Hanzhong." ”

"Holy Wisdom." The civil and military generals in the court said one after another, how many people in their hearts think that Liu Qi is a wise person is another matter, and Liu Bei did not participate in this court meeting in order to avoid suspicion.

After having the holy decree, Liu Bei directly shirked it, Liu Qi was a little stunned, and after receiving Zhuge Liang's secret reminder, Liu Qi was suddenly surprised.

After three successive shirks, Liu Bei agreed and became the third king among the current princes.

Sun Quan and Cao Cao's response, Lu Bu is still relatively satisfied, he also knows that this year has been inappropriate to move troops, so he has the idea of going to the land to inspect the army, and at the same time has the idea of taking a look at the situation of the land, after the reinforcement of Jiameng Pass, Liu Bei did not dare to attack easily, and Lu Bu has returned to Chang'an, if the army of Yizhou dares to make other moves, it will not be a dead end.

"I didn't expect Liu Bei Xiao'er to be such a hypocritical person, and now he has become the king of Hanzhong, Hanzhong is the king's land, but Liu Bei wants to send officials to govern Hanzhong." Lu Budao.

After hearing this, the civil and military generals in the field laughed, Liu Bei occupied such a dangerous place in Yizhou, which is indeed a huge disaster, and the army of Chang'an wants to enter Yizhou, what must be done is to pass the sword pavilion plank road, as long as this way, the distance of the attack can be the shortest, otherwise if you attack Yizhou from other directions, you will not only have to pay more time, but also attack more checkpoints and cities.

"Lord, the Yizhou army has invaded the city, and Liu Bei is extremely hypocritical, I am afraid that at this time there is the idea of becoming the emperor." An official said.

Lu Bu didn't say anything, but secretly raised his vigilance, judging from the news from Yizhou, if Liu Bei seized the throne from Liu Qi's hands, no one would object, mainly because Liu Qi's actions in Yizhou were too excessive, indulging in wine all day long, ignoring state affairs, and handing it over to Liu Bei to deal with.

After discussing some current affairs, everyone left Chang'an Mansion, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others stayed, Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong, which can indeed greatly enhance Liu Bei's influence among the princes, but Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, no one will find any fault, what a few people want to know most is whether Liu Bei will ascend the throne in Yizhou and claim the emperor, if so, Liu Bei's previous hypocritical face will be completely torn off.

Looking at Liu Bei's past actions, it can be seen that Liu Bei is a person with great ambitions, no matter how many setbacks and difficulties he endured, he still rose up to fight, and only then did he have the current Yizhou, this kind of character is extremely terrifying.

"Wenhe, let's talk about it." Lu Bu set his eyes on Jia Xudao.

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "Now although Liu Qi is the lord of Yizhou, but ignoring the government, Yizhou officials are dissatisfied with Liu Qi, Jingzhou's family and Yizhou's family, there are many people secretly talking about supporting Liu Bei to become the emperor." ”

Lu Budao: "I didn't expect that the mat seller and weaver back then have become the king of Hanzhong, and they want to become the emperor, which is really powerful." ”

"Lord, Liu Bei only has a small place in Yizhou, as long as the lord gives an order, my old man will enter Yizhou and capture Liu Beisheng alive to Chang'an." Dian Wei shouted.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "General Dian is brave, but there are many fierce generals in Shu, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and others, all of whom have the courage of ten thousand people, and the road in Shuzhong is difficult, and it is so difficult to attack Liu Bei." ”
