Xuzhou, Xiapi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

State Pastoral Office.

Backyard.

Tao Qian was lying on the bed dying, his eyes were dark and dark, and his eyes were even more dim.

Since Tao Qian became seriously ill, the whole of Xuzhou has fallen into a tense situation.

Tao Qian is here, and Xuzhou is stable.

If Tao Qian dies, Xuzhou will definitely be in chaos.

Tao Qian was also worried about the situation in Xuzhou, and always breathed a sigh of relief.

On this day, Tao Qian suddenly felt much better. He actually got up and eaten, and seemed quite energetic. Tao Qian himself knows his own situation, and in the current situation, he is already terminally ill and knows that there is no cure.

Therefore, it is important to make arrangements in advance.

"Someone!"

Tao Qian gave the order.

An attendant walked in and bowed.

Tao Qian instructed: "Please invite Chen Qi, Chen Deng, Zhenrong, Cao Bao, and Wang Lang to come to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion to discuss matters." ”

"No!"

The attendant received the order, turned around, and went down.

Half an hour later, Chen Qi, Chen Deng, Di Rong, Cao Bao and Wang Lang all came to the room.

"I've seen the lord!"

Everyone saluted, with a solemn expression. Everyone knows Tao Qian's physical condition, and when they see Tao Qian's state getting better, especially his radiant appearance, they have a bad premonition in their hearts.

Tao Qian waved his hand and said, "Sit!" ”

When everyone heard this, they sat down.

"Ahem! Cough! ”

Tao Qian coughed lightly twice and said, "The old man invited you here to discuss the affairs of Xuzhou. The old man is already terminally ill, so please come and discuss the matter of the heir of Xuzhou. ”

Chen Deng said: "The lord has recovered a lot today, and he will definitely recover." ”

Chen Qi said: "The lord is good at recuperating and recuperating, and he will definitely recover." ”

Zhen Rong said: "The humble duty has been **** to worship the Buddha and pray for the blessings of adults." I believe that under the blessing of the Buddha, adults will be able to turn the crisis into safety. ”

Cao Bao and Wang Lang also agreed.

Tao Qian shook his head and said: "My family knows about my own family affairs, and the old man is old, so he knows that it is impossible to get through it anymore." ”

The expressions on everyone's faces were extremely solemn.

Tao Qian continued: "So, let's all talk about the heir. ”

One by one, they heard the words, but they didn't speak.

The matter involving the heir of Xuzhou is to some extent a public matter, but to a certain extent it is also a private matter. In such a situation, the person who said it was just in line with Tao Qian's intentions, and if it didn't conform to Tao Qian's intentions, it would be easy to be purged, so they were all extremely cautious.

Tao Qian said: "Han Yu, you come on." Don't be sloppy, just say it. ”

After hearing this, Chen Qi stroked his gray beard under his chin and said, "My lord, if you really want to choose, I think the eldest son is more suitable for potters." Since ancient times, it has been established. Shang Gongzi is not only a son-in-law, but also the eldest son. Therefore, Lao Yu believes that it is most appropriate for Shang Gongzi to inherit Xuzhou. ”

Tao Qian nodded, but did not express an opinion, just looked at Chen Deng.

Immediately, Chen Deng said: "The lord, the humble position also agrees with the Shang son's inheritance of Xuzhou, after all, he is the identity of the eldest son." ”

Zhen Rong suddenly said: "My lord, I think it should be the second son, Tao Ying, is more appropriate." ”

At this time, Zhen Rong spoke.

The candidates proposed by Zhen Rong are very different from Chen Qi and Chen Deng. Among the two sons, Zhen Rong and Tao Ying are closer, and Tao Ying is more simple and easy to control.

Tao Qian said: "What is your reason? ”

Zhen Rong replied: "Back to the lord, now is the world of great disputes, and the prince of Shang is not interested in martial arts. On the contrary, Ying Gongzi was more interested in Wu Luo. If the son of Shang succeeds to the throne, then I am afraid it will be difficult to hold Xuzhou. Ying Gongzi is proficient in martial arts and knows how to march and fight, so it is easier to hold Xuzhou. ”

After Tao Qian heard this, his brows furrowed.

When there is a disagreement among the people, it means that there is a fight.

Tao Qian said: "What about the rest of the people, what do you think?" ”

Cao Bao replied: "My lord, I also propose that a merchant son take over. ”

Wang Lang echoed: "Xiaguan also supports Shang Gongzi. ”

In addition to Zhen Rong, everyone else supported Tao Ying.

After Tao Qian listened to everyone's opinions, he quickly made a decision in his heart. He has reached the point of dying, and he knows that he cannot be indecisive, so the current situation cannot tolerate the slightest delay.

Tao Qian said in a deep voice: "Since many people support Shang'er, then set up Shang'er as the new Xuzhou Thorn History." Chen Jue, you will draw up the edict, and the official will affix the seal. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Qi nodded in response.

Zhen Rong said: "Lord, this ......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Tao Qian directly interrupted: "Zhenrong, as the lord, you don't have to be able to march and fight, and you don't have to be able to command Ruoding. Just because you don't fight on the battlefield doesn't mean you're not a good ruler. ”

"Being a master, being able to be good as a stream, pro-virtuous ministers, and far villains, this is very good."

"As for marching and arranging, fighting on the battlefield, that's the general's business."

"As for sorting out internal affairs and governing national affairs, that's a matter for civil servants."

Tao Qian said: "As long as you go all out to assist Shang'er, he can be as good as a stream, then Xuzhou is still the Xuzhou of the past, and there will be no changes." ”

After hearing this, Zhenrong's heart cooled.

Obviously, Tao Qian is iron-hearted.

At this time, it is definitely impossible to persuade Tao Qian.

Zhen Rong said: "The lord is wise, and he understands his humble duties!" ”

Tao Qian waved his hand and said, "Let's all go down and call the potters in." ”

"Yes!"

When the people heard this, they withdrew their hands.

After a short while, the potter walked in and knelt beside Tao Qian. He cried and cried, and there were still tears on his face, and said, "Daddy, you will definitely get better." If you leave, what will your son and second brother do? ”

Although Tao Qian is a hero, he is the hero who occupies one side.

It's a pity that Tao Qian's two sons, the eldest son Tao Shang and the second son Tao Ying, are both mediocre in ability.

If you were born in a prosperous era, you don't have to worry about food and clothing.

But now it is a troubled time, but it still occupies Xuzhou, which is a problem.

Tao Qian stared at the potter, looked at the potter's crying appearance, and said in a deep voice: "Shang'er, I can't support my father for long. If you go for your father, you inherit Xuzhou, can you protect the safety of your second brother? ”

Tao Shang said: "What did Daddy say?" As long as my father is here, my second brother and I are safe. ”

Tao Qian said: "The old man's body, the old man knows. The old man asked you, once you take charge of Xuzhou, can you tolerate Ying'er? ”

He stared at the potter, his eyes sharper than ever.

At this moment, Tao Qian seemed to be full of murderous aura, which made Tao Shang shudder.

"Yes!"

The potter raised his eyebrows, knowing that Tao Qian had already decided.

At this time, there is no need to hesitate.

Tao Qian nodded and said, "Okay, my father believes in you." ”

Tao Shang said: "Father recuperates well, and he will definitely recover." ”

Tao Qian waved his hand, his words became a little hurried, and he waved his hand and said, "The old man's time is running out." Next, don't speak, listen to the old man. Remember, be sure to remember.

The potter nodded heavily, looking like he was listening.
