To say that the most famous thing in May of the 19th year of Jian'an is Li Sheng's fourth wedding and the results of Cao Cao and Li Sheng's announcement on the assassination of the prince:

On May 5, the 19th year of Jian'an, on this day when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, the CD Prefecture was a festive appearance of lights. Li Sheng www.biquge.info, who has been married three times, is going to have his fourth wedding on this day. Li Sheng's status is getting higher day by day, and his financial, material and personal resources are expanding day by day, and the luxury of this wedding is naturally more and more brilliant every time. However, when people talked about this wedding, the first thing they mentioned was not how luxurious the wedding was, but three things: in this wedding, the groom was Li Sheng, and the bride was three - Cao Cao's daughter Cao Hua, Liu Bei's daughter Liu Jue, and Han Emperor Liu Xie's daughter Liu Wen. Originally, it was very unusual for a groom to have three brides in the world, but the three brides all had prominent status, which surprised everyone. It's just that they can only be surprised, and there is no possibility of jealousy, firstly, the strength of the power of Li Sheng, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei makes those so-called jealous people have relatives, and secondly, the three brides at this wedding are too young, and they are completely young and unmatched, Cao Hua 14, Liu Jue 13, and Liu Cohen are only 12.

"It's all a political marriage!" Anyone with a little bit of brains can see the key at a glance. They all know the key to the complexity, and there seems to be no one in the world who can bear it except Li Sheng. Of course, there are inevitably some malicious words in this: "...... This Li Sheng is really unlucky, I really don't know how he spent his time in the cave room tonight? In the face of three green fruits, I'm afraid anyone will show their might. Saying this, the man laughed obscenely, although he said this and laughed, he only dared to secretly and lowly.

Indecent words and malicious jokes are only spread in a small area, after all, no one dares to disclose too much of this kind of secret thing. Most people don't know anything about it, and they are concerned about something else. Li Sheng changed the blue of the curtain used for the wedding ceremony to red, which was the second point that was fresh in their memory.

"It's a violation of etiquette." This was the first thing that came to the minds of those scholars, but it was already like this, the wedding had already begun, and it was too late for them to object. So they looked at it all with a critical eye, but they went to the wedding, and from the beginning to the end they had to admit that the red used in the wedding, although not as ceremonial, was indeed much more warm and festive than blue. "Well, it's good to use red!" Thinking that Li Sheng was the master here, they said half voluntarily and half against their will.

However, no matter how they felt after leaving, they will always remember the bright red and lively of Li Sheng's wedding. Their memory of this color is far above the other piece of gold, although they also recorded the congratulatory gift sent by Jiaozhou at Li Sheng's wedding, which is full of a thousand stones of golden sand.

What does gold represent in this day and age? It's not money, and it can't be traded directly, but it seems to be more popular than money. At the very least, money will depreciate, and gold seems unlikely to depreciate.

"A thousand stone of gold. That's probably enough to start a war. Li Sheng's wedding actually made this public, what does it mean? Since he has so much gold now, it may be possible to get more in the future. Although I don't know where he got this gold, it's a fact that it's part of his strength. His demonstration of this is undoubtedly a demonstration of the whole world. "Anyone who cares will think so, but they are also very clever enough to guess most of what Li Sheng wants to express - don't think that I am weak, in fact, I can start a war casually, because my finances are fully enough to support me to do so.

"This Li Sheng's methods are really clever." When the absurdity of the CD wedding reached Xuchang, Cao Cao smiled heartily and praised Li Sheng.

"Why?" As the largest prince in the world, Cao Cao's subordinates have all kinds of people, and naturally there is no shortage of interesting people.

He put the gold in front of everyone, and it looked like a cheesy outburst. But everyone seems to have forgotten what kind of person is who has been able to expand his power to such a point in a few years. Is it possible that he could have been so bold before he had the strength to protect it all? Li Shengjun's combat strength is not weak, which can be seen from the fact that his cavalry can compete with my tiger and leopard cavalry. I can only think of one thing about his performance, and that is to demonstrate that the whole world knows that he has enough money to support a long war. Yes, a long war. He can give up the places that are difficult to defend and save himself through the dangerous fortresses in Hanzhong and Shuzhong, and it will be useless for us to attack with a million troops with the danger of Sichuan and Han. Cao Cao thought for a moment and said. He immediately understood what Li Sheng meant.

"In that case, then we need to be skillful ...... making fun, and the same thing cannot be repeated several times, which can be annoying, so even if they want to express the same meaning, they have different words to express it.

"Is there anything else we need to worry about? Solve Liu Bei first, and then look at the situation on both sides of Sun Quan and Li Sheng, and try to choose a target on both sides to deal with, once the four forces in the world are knocked out by us, then the one under him can not be said to be a threat. Cao Cao wasn't too worried about this, he smiled very confidently.

Li Sheng's wedding is over here. Even the strongest Cao Cao gave him such a definition, so Liu Bei and Sun Quan, who were already eager to feel the urgency of the war, would not have any opinion on this. At this moment, there are still many places where they need to rely on Li Sheng, and they don't want to offend Li Sheng in these small things. As for the general public, they have a new focus because they saw the investigation reports on the assassination of the prince released by Cao Cao and Li Sheng soon after Li Sheng's amazing wedding.

It has to be said that the intelligence department managed by Cao Cao's subordinate Jia Xu is still very effective, although most of the evidence that can be checked, such as the corpses of those people, those people's clothes, etc., was sent to Li Sheng's side by Liu Zhao, but Cao Cao's intelligence agency still relied on their strong investigation ability to come to the same conclusion as Li Sheng - the assassination of the prince was committed by Jiangdong.

"This Sun Quan can be regarded as powerful. Such a terrifying force developed at a time when none of us knew it. Although the strength of this force is not very good at the moment, it seems that it is only a matter of inexperience, and once time passes, the strength of this team will become more and more threatening. Jia Xu quickly reported the situation to Cao Cao and attached such comments.

"Zhongmou Xiao'er has found a good opportunity. I think they must have known about our tiger and leopard rides. Hehe, he originally thought that if he succeeded, he would have planned to rely on us. Cao Cao sneered, "Does he think I won't be able to find out like this?" ”

"It can be found out, but now neither Li Sheng nor we will publish the real facts according to this. This may be regarded as a major crime of Sun Quan, and this crime may be more useful in holding it in his hands than in publicizing it. Jia Xu smiled faintly and suggested to Cao Cao: "Although what we are announcing at the moment is to carry out an Eastern Crusade, targeting Liu Bei and Sun Quan, but in terms of the actual situation, it seems that it is much better to target Liu Bei only than to target Liu Bei and Sun Quan at the same time. And if this evidence of the crime is temporarily hidden, we can use him to threaten Sun Quan and make him not help Liu Bei, or we can use it as the responsibility of crusading against Sun Quan in the future, and speak out to the world. In short, for the time being, it is better not to go into too much detail about this culpability. ”

"Hmm...... Just vague? Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu.

"Hmm!" Jia Xu nodded heavily.

"So be it." Cao Cao nodded in approval: "Let Chen Lin write, his writing is very good." Saying that, Cao Cao laughed, and looked at the southwest sky leisurely: "We are vague here, I don't know what Li Sheng's decision is?" ”

"Maybe he's thinking about how to put this on our heads." Jia Xu said with a little malice, "Judging from the grand wedding he held, his heart is not on our side, and he seems to want to maintain a balance of power and get the most benefit from the duel between us and the southeast." I suggest that the lord's battle against Liu Bei should be done as soon as possible, if it is delayed for a long time, I am only afraid that the one in the west will be restless. Well, for now, it's a pity that the lord married the third lady. ”

"Yes...... No one knew about it at the time. Cao Cao sighed, "Now I only hope that Hua'er can live well over there." Although he is a hegemon, Cao Cao still has the most ordinary feelings for his children as a father.

Cao Cao's report was quickly completed by Chen Lin. This is a very gorgeous article, which very well reflects the talent of Chen Lin, a great talent-it is indeed not easy to write a thousand articles about something that has no content at all, not to mention that this article is also extremely smooth.

This article, published on May 14, 19th year of Jian'an, was soon sent to the case of CD Li Sheng on the 20th as a notice. Looking at this gorgeous but empty article, full of "as if it were ...... Like what...... But if " and other words, Li Sheng smiled slightly, and ordered someone to find Zhuge Liang, who was busy, and handed him this thing: "Kong Ming, you can take a look at this article first." This Chen Lin is very powerful, and he can actually write such an article. Now that Cao Cao's investigation has come out, it's time to watch our performances. ”

"Hehe......" Kong Ming indifferently took this from Li Sheng's hand, looked at it carefully, and then chuckled: "People are great talents, how can they get to this point without some ability." However, people all over the world will undoubtedly be disappointed when they see this survey. They all wanted to know what the final result would be, but unfortunately Cao Cao couldn't give it to them. Come to think of it, at the moment they are all focused on us, waiting for us to announce the situation. Saying that, Zhuge Liang raised his head and looked at Li Sheng: "What does the lord want to do in the end?" ”

"How? What else can be done? I have the same opinion as Cao Cao on this matter. Li Sheng said very calmly: "This time, whether it is Cao Cao or me, I am afraid that we are going to disappoint them." The fact that Sun Quan is the mastermind behind this matter cannot be announced at the moment. For Cao Cao, perhaps it was to grasp it in his hand as a handle; For us, the alliance in Jiangnan must be maintained, and we cannot turn against Sun Quan until we are fully prepared for war and can attack Cao Cao and sweep the world. ”

"So...... My briefing, like Cao Cao's, should also be written vaguely, with room for other statements? Zhuge Liang blinked his eyes clearly, but he had fully understood Li Sheng's thoughts: "Who does the lord plan to let write this?" Kong Ming asked. This is a big problem, there are a lot of talents in Li Sheng's army at the moment, but it seems that there is no one who can compete with Cao Cao's Chen Lin in writing. If you can't compete with Chen Lin in writing, then the notice issued by Li Sheng, which has the same meaning as Chen Lin's book, is likely to be reduced to a move that will be laughed at by the world. This is undoubtedly also a matter of face.

"Kong Ming, do you have any good candidates in mind?" Li Shengba asked pitifully with his eyes full of innocent feelings, he paused slightly, and said to Zhuge Liang half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Why don't you write this article?" I think with Kong Ming's writing, you should be able to beat Chen Lin. ”

"Me?" Zhuge Liang was surprised, but he waved his hand and shook his head again and again: "It's better not to." Although I would also like to try my hand at dealing with such a big man, there are so many things going on at the moment, and I don't have that much experience to pay attention to. This article, I think the lord should write it before someone else. Kong Ming said with a sigh.

"Busy?" Li Sheng seemed surprised: "I remember that I only asked Kong Ming to be responsible for the drafting overview and strategic deployment of the territorial bill." It's important, but it doesn't seem to be that busy. Writing this essay is just a small thing, and it shouldn't take up much of your time. ”

"Where......" Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Lord, you are not responsible, so naturally I don't know about this matter." I'd love to split one into two people right now. It's just too much. Only when there was no one around, Kong Ming would pour his bitter water to Li Sheng like a little brother.

"Too much, too much?" Li Sheng became more and more surprised, "Wouldn't it?" What you did was what I was responsible for. I didn't feel how busy I was. Li Sheng said this, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and asked Kong Ming: "You won't do everything yourself, right?" ”

"Well, this one!" Kong Ming, who was pointed out by Li Sheng as the key to the matter, suddenly felt a little weak-hearted and involuntarily touched his nose: "The matter that the main bus has taken place is very important, and I am not very relieved to hand him over to others." ”

"Don't worry about ......?" Li Sheng's eyes widened, "You and several gentlemen are all people I have elected, what are you worried about?" I trust them as much as I trust you. So......" Li Sheng's hand rested heavily on Kong Ming's shoulder, "So, you can completely leave a lot of things to them to do." There's nothing to worry about. Kong Ming, I know you are for my good. But it's so tiring that I don't want to. I'm looking forward to you doing it for decades like me. Even if the world is unified, there are still a lot of things, and I don't want you to be exhausted now. ”

"Lord...... No, Brother Sheng, I'll remember that. Kong Ming was moved by Li Sheng's concern and prayers, his eyes were already hazy, he held back not to let the tears fall, but his head nodded heavily.

"Alright." Li Sheng's hand left Kong Ming's shoulder, but his face was close to Kong Ming because of this: "For the matter of this announcement, who else but you can do it?" ”

"It's better to let Xu Jing write it." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and replied.

"Xu Jing? Which old man has no skills? Li Sheng was surprised: "He doesn't know anything." The writing may not be very good, let him write this, is it okay? Li Sheng doubts this.

"What does the lord think of Xu Jing's writing?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

"It can only be regarded as upper-middle. It's about the same as me, but it's far worse than you. Li Sheng thought about it and answered very realistically.

"Xu Jing's writing can only be regarded as middle and upper, but the lord has forgotten what Xu Jing's greatest ability is!" Zhuge Liang smiled, and sold a pass very mysteriously.

"What is it?" Li Sheng asked.

"Fame...... Xu Jing has a high reputation. Although in our opinion, this is just a name. Zhuge Liang chuckled and opened the riddle.

"What do you mean?" Li Sheng was puzzled.

"Fame is also a kind of strength. Although it seems meaningless to us, it is not at all the case to outsiders. Xu Jing's reputation, for those who don't know him, this reputation is a kind of strength. This is the case with the so-called famous. Zhuge Liang explained with a smile: "With a strong reputation and passable writing, such persuasiveness is not under Chen Lin's article." This is sufficient for the vagueness we need at the moment. ”

"Is that so? The authority of fame? Li Sheng groaned slightly, then quickly nodded and agreed: "Since that's the case, let him write this." He was the final word.

When a person with a writing pen writes an essay, in the case of quick thinking and a surge of good words, this action is obviously very fast. Xu Jing seems to have been held back for a long time, and in an environment where everyone in Li Shengjun is pragmatic, it is really difficult for him to be a person who likes to talk empty and have a false reputation. Everyone knows that he actually has no ability, so no one will leave things to him. Reading books, reading books all day long, this is his boring life for half a year. He is obviously a person who is not willing to be lonely, but he is also a very patient person, and in addition to further enduring such a aggrieved situation, he is secretly accumulating his own ability. When Li Sheng asked him to write this article, he wrote so many articles almost in a flash, a full 3,000 essays, but three times that of Chen Lin, and in Li Sheng's own opinion, Xu Jing's article has excellent rhetoric, and in terms of writing, it is on par with Chen Lin, but the sophistication of it is above Chen Lin - I think this is Xu Jing's super level of performance.

For such a good result, Li Sheng is naturally extremely happy. He happily patted Xu Jing's shoulder, and said to this gray-haired, well-spirited old man, "Wenxiu Baodao is not old." It seems that I have to put more burden on you Wenxiu. I want to compile all the ancient books I can collect, from ancient times to today, into a book, but there is still a lack of a main writer. Li Sheng looked at Xu Jing, and the thoughts in his head turned slightly, but he thought of a job that made Xu Jing very satisfied.

"I know that there are many books from ancient times to the present, and the personal opinions are also different, and the people who read the books have different understandings of the book, and they also have different opinions on how the book breaks sentences, so I have a few opinions on these differences. 1. While listing the remnants, we should supplement them as much as possible according to the original meaning of the text. That is, the residual text and the supplementary text should be listed at the same time; 2. List the different views of each school and faction completely, and do not delete or modify them because of your own personal preferences. It's okay to have more opinions, but the more you justify it, the clearer it becomes; Third, for the different parts of the broken sentences, and at the same time list the different interpretations of the meaning under different broken sentences, which is the most in line with the author's original intention, we don't need to explain, we just need to give people to see for themselves; Fourth, for all the articles that are organized, use such punctuation marks for sentence breaking, which is not only to be done in this book, but for all things in the future, all the articles written by everyone in my territory need to be punctuated for sentence breaking; Fifth, I hope that the commentaries on ancient texts in the text must be explained in the vernacular, plainly, and understandably by most people. 6. For the statements of various schools, we should list as much as possible the history of this school and the background of the times in which they lived, which is very useful for readers to understand this school. Li Sheng thought about it and listed six points in a fluttering manner, but Xu Jing was a little dumbfounded.

"Lord...... Lord...... It would be nice to be able to do that. But I am afraid that the project is too big, and it will not be completed in a few years. Xu Jing said dumbfounded.

"If it doesn't work for three years, it's five years, if it doesn't work for five years, it's ten years, if it doesn't work for another twenty years, it's okay for fifty years...... I will resolutely complete this matter, how much money it will cost, how many people it will take, you can tell me directly. Li Sheng's heavy words showed his firm determination. Although he initially asked Xu Jing to do this matter may have been a temporary idea, after he said so many opinions, he himself felt that this matter was very necessary.

"Oh...... Since the lord has decided so, then I have no choice but to sell my old bones. Everything will be done according to the Lord's word. Xu Jing agreed in one breath, but said again: "Since this anthology is so vast, then please take a resounding name from the lord, and it will be famous all over the world." ”

"Well, this thing is to think about carefully......" Li Sheng pondered slightly, and then said: "Since this book is a classic that covers all the literati in ancient and modern times, let's make it 'Tianwen Lu'!" In this way, it can be clearly pointed out that the meaning of this anthology. We just record, we don't need to comment. ”

"Heaven and earth? That's accurate. When Xu Jing heard this, he became more and more excited, his whole body was trembling, and he suggested to Li Sheng: "If the lord allows, please let me find the right person to edit this anthology." ”

"Yes. I have always dealt with people with authority. Since you are the chief officer in charge of this matter, then you will arrange the people under you. Li Sheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord!" Xu Jing bowed down, but after going out, he left like a child. His clear and rhythmic footsteps quickly reached Li Sheng's ears.

"Old and young...... Old and young, ......" Li Sheng muttered this word, but his eyes fell on the article Xu Jing left for him.

"Am I playing with Cao Cao?" He smiled faintly and beckoned his relatives to follow: "Go and paste this article and publish it all over the world." Li Sheng commanded. He already uses movable type for his articles – a technology that has only recently been invented and put into practical use on CDs last month.

On May 27, the 19th year of Jian'an, Li Sheng's circular was also issued in the world. Those who were concerned about this matter were originally eager to look at Li Sheng's report, intending to get the final result of this matter from it. But in the face of this gorgeous announcement that is not inferior to Chen Lin's article, they studied it carefully for a long time, but they were extremely depressed and came to a conclusion, that is, this day's announcement did not say who the murderer of the prince was. Although the style of this report is completely different from Chen Lin's, there are no vague words and phrases in it, but it is very clear that the results of Li Sheng's investigation, but it is very clear, but it makes people more and more confused. According to the article, it seems that Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are all possible, because there are doubts placed on them, and this doubt is still the same as everyone.

"This ...... It's simply ...... "no result, there are too many clues, although you can see clearly, but it is more and more difficult to distinguish, and among the many false targets, no one can be frustrated to distinguish the truth."

Under the frustration of most people in the world, May of the nineteenth year of Jian'an passed, and then in June, the world was calm. Throughout June, July, and August, these three days of the year that gradually heat up, all the princes of the world seemed to be stunned by the scorching sun in the sky, and they all lost their voices. On the face of it, nothing happened in the past three months. But in reality, in private, all the princes were thinking about one thing: preparing for war.

Yizhou: The Western Expeditionary Army of Hanzhong has quietly driven to the Qiang land, and is very secretly heading to a Qiang territory. The conquest of the Qiang was about to begin, and Li Sheng sent Ma Chao to Yinping, where he was preparing for the second stage of the formation of the Western Expeditionary Army; As for the south, all the adaptation work of the southern expeditionary army led by Huang Zhong had already been completed, and since there was no so-called rebellion to persecute them, Li Sheng had the intention of letting them march to the south again in September.

Jingzhou: Grain and grass supplies are being assembled in Jingnan, and a large number of cargo ships are loading and unloading at the Jiangling port, constantly putting the things needed for the war into the treasury of Jiangling. In Jingbei, Zhang Fei, who was appointed as the Taishou of Nanyang, accepted the supplies sent by Jiangling on the one hand, and on the other hand, he reorganized the preparations for the attack on Luoyang Chang'an at any time.

Huainan: Liu Bei divided his legion into three parts: the Runan Legion, the Nanyang Legion, and the Shouchun Legion. Among them, the Nanyang Legion and the Runan Legion both put on a murderous attack look, while the Shouchun Legion seemed to be only used for defense. Liu Bei handed over his rear to his most trusted brother Guan Yu to be in charge.

Jiangdong: Sun Quan, who suffered heavy losses from the navy, does not want to take revenge all the time, and the reconstruction plan of the Jiangdong navy has been going on for a long time.

Everything is waiting for September.
