Three days later, the state capital.

"Military advisor, this matchmaker made by Fa Xiaozhi, I was happy at the time and agreed to it, but I didn't have time to ask for the opinions of the military advisors, but I don't know if the two military advisors think this marriage is appropriate?"

Liu Bei smiled and asked the opinions of the two military advisors, in fact, as the leader of a group, he didn't do what he wanted, and many times, he couldn't help what kind of woman he married. Of course, you have to do whatever you want, the premise must be that the world is decided, otherwise, the consequence will be that the people who support you will fall apart.

"Lord, this marriage, Fa Xiaozhi is under the banner of winning over Yizhou scholars, but I don't know if the lord has thought about it, in fact, he is conceived by Dongzhou scholars."

Pang Tong very bluntly exposed Fa Zheng's intentions in front of Liu Bei, and his intention was of course to remind Liu Bei that if Liu Bei could refuse this marriage, of course it would be the best.

Liu Bei knew Pang Tong's surname, and he was used to it, so he sighed softly and said: "I don't know this, it's just that I took Sichuan this time, and the Dongzhou scholars have made great contributions." Now that Yizhou is new, if you want to gain a firm foothold, you can't do without the support of the Dongzhou scholars who have lived here for a long time, and it is not a way to win them over with the honor of in-laws. ”

Obviously, although Liu Bei is most dependent on Zhuge Liang and other Jingzhou scholars, he does not completely stand on the position of Jingzhou people to decide major matters, as the leader of a group, whether it is Jingzhou scholars, Yizhou scholars, or Dongzhou scholars, in fact, they are all tools he needs to use.

He is alone, because he is the only one who must consider the big picture from the standpoint of being alone.

Pang Tong and the others exchanged a look, and they all knew that Liu Bei was determined to agree to this marriage, so he did not plan to regret it again.

So, after Pang Tong finished singing his black face, Zhuge Liang appeared on the stage, shaking a feather fan and said: "The lord thinks for the overall situation, how can Liang and the others not know, in fact, we are very much in favor of the matter of the lord accepting the Wu family as a side room." Besides, there is only one wife by the lord's side, Mrs. Mi, and it is inevitable that there will be some inconsiderate service to the lord, and Liang heard that the Wu family is a virtuous lady, if he marries such a virtuous side room, he will also be able to share the housework for the lord, and the lord can also focus on the affairs of the world. ”

The focus of Zhuge Liang's words is actually on the four "side rooms" and "main rooms" that he has accented, and the implication is, of course, to remind Liu Bei that they only approve of Liu Bei's acceptance of the Wu family as the side room, but the status of Mrs. Mi's wife is unshakable, if not, they will not agree.

Liu Bei couldn't hear what Zhuge Liang meant, and immediately laughed and said, "I'm really relieved that the military advisors and others can be so considerate." It is said that the Mi family has followed me since Xuzhou, although they have been displaced several times, they are all hard-working, and they have given birth to a smart son like Atai, such a virtuous wife, it is really difficult to find in ancient and modern times, as for the side room of the Wu family, as long as she can have half of the virtue of the Mi family, I will be satisfied. ”

Liu Bei exaggerated the Mi family, obviously making a guarantee in front of Zhuge and others, to show such a good wife, it is too late for my love, how can I bear to take away her position in the main room.

Jingzhou's gang of people were satisfied, so Pang Tong, Fang Shao, Mi Zhu and others all expressed their support for Liu Bei's begging for a small matter, and this marriage should not only be done, but also done in a beautiful and decent manner.

Liu Bei saw that everyone was so considerate of him, and his mood was suddenly very happy, and Zhuge Liang took advantage of Liu Bei's happy momentum and said: "Lord, Liang thinks that now that Yizhou has been decided, another major event should be put on the agenda. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly asked: "I don't know what the big deal is, please talk about it?" ”

Zhuge Liang then said: "Now that the eldest prince is more than three years old, it is time for him to hire a gentleman, preach and teach, and open up wisdom." ”

Liu Bei was also stunned, and then smiled: "Adou is only three years old, and if he doesn't say it, he will find him a gentleman, will it be too early." ”

Zhuge Liang Zhengse said: "The lord's words are wrong, the sage Zeng Yun: 'At the beginning of people, the surname is benshan. The surnames are similar, but the Xi is far away. Gou does not teach, and his surname is moved. It is said that if a child's surname is good, if he does not give good habits, his surname will be moved, and he will preach and teach, just starting from a young age. Besides, the eldest prince is different from ordinary children, and the lord should pay more attention to it. ”

Zhuge Liang insisted on inviting Mr. Adou, Fang Shao knew what he meant, you must know that the ancients paid attention to respecting teachers, and it was a very important thing to invite teachers for their children, and for children, it also showed that the elders attached great importance to him.

In other words, Zhuge Liang wanted Liu Bei to ask for a teacher for the young Adou, in order to show Liu Bei's attention to Adou, so as to aggravate Adou's status, which is also a means to consolidate the status of Jingzhou scholars.

Of course, Liu Bei would not fail to understand Zhuge Liang's intentions, and he also understood that this was also a quid pro quo for the Jingzhou scholars to support him in marrying the Wu family. However, Adou is Liu Bei's first son when he is old, and Liu Bei has a strong fatherly love for him, since Zhuge Liang also proposed it, there is no reason for him as a father not to agree.

So, Liu Bei said very happily: "The military advisor is reasonable, then ask Adou for a gentleman, but I don't know if the military advisor has a suitable candidate." ”

Liu Bei knew that this matter was raised by Zhuge Liang, and as for the candidate for this teacher, it must be decided by Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang turned his gaze to Fang Shao and said with a smile: "I thought that Adou's enlightenment Mr. was none other than Zhongzheng. ”

Although Zhuge Liang had not discussed this matter with him before, Zhuge Liang's proposal at this time did not surprise Fang Shao, firstly, it was also rumored that Mrs. Mi had the intention of hiring him as Teacher Adou, and secondly, as Zhuge Liang's most trusted disciple, it was reasonable to recommend him to be the important position of Teacher Adou.

However, this errand seemed glorious, but Fang Shao was actually reluctant to take on this tricky errand.

If you casually train Adou and let him inherit the ability and surname in history, then how is this teacher of his own. And if he is carefully adjusted, in the future, if Adou's surname changes, if he inherits Liu Bei's position again, then there is a potential variable for the Jingzhou scholars to continue to dominate the ruling power of Liu Bei's group.

Moreover, although Adou is the eldest son, he was born to Mrs. Gan, and he is only the eldest son, if it were not for Liu Bei's two sons who were young, according to Liu Bei's vision, and then according to the order of "Liyan, Lichang, and Lixian", Liu Bei is very likely not to make Adou the prince.

Now Mrs. Mi has given birth to Liu Tai, and Mrs. Mi is the main room, if the status of her wife has not changed, then Liu Tai will be Liu Bei's eldest son, theoretically speaking, it should be to make Liu Tai the heir, and his own eldest son's teacher, but also Mrs. Mi's trusted person, so caught in the middle, no matter who he helps, is not a person inside and out!

It was also thanks to Fang Shao's fast brain that he had figured out all the benefits and disadvantages in a hurry, so without waiting for Liu Bei to speak, he immediately said humbly: "Shao has only studied with Kong Ming for a few years, and he is still talented and shallow, how can he dare to be the teacher of the eldest son, I am afraid that it is the wrong child, this important task, Shao Wan does not dare to be it." ”

Liu Bei couldn't figure out whether Fang Shao was polite or really didn't want to be polite, so he didn't express his opinion first, and only set his eyes on Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang said: "In fact, the master of enlightenment does not need to learn the talent of the rich five cars, with your ability, I believe that you can win or lose, and you have a deep fate with the eldest prince, so it is more convenient to teach." When the eldest prince is older, he will invite a famous teacher with high morality and talent for him. ”

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang only planned to let him be Adou's kindergarten teacher, and the time would not be too long, Fang Shao was relieved now, so he said humbly: "Since this is the case, then Shao can only be respectful and obedient, if the lord trusts, Shao Zi should do his best to teach the eldest prince." ”

Zhuge Liang set Fang Shao, and Fang Shao no longer refused, of course Liu Bei had no reason to object, and Mrs. Mi had blown a lot of pillow wind for Fang Shao before, so Liu Bei happily responded to this matter.

Three days later, Liu Bei officially worshiped Fang Shao as a teacher.

The ancients respected the teacher, and the big thing of apprenticeship should not be taken lightly, Liu Bei also burned incense and bathed that day, all the etiquette was complete, and at the end he called the naïve Adou to kneel in front of Fang Shao obediently, and respectfully kowtowed three heads, and tossed for a long time before the apprenticeship was completed.

After the ceremony, Fang Shao officially gave Adou the first lesson, this is the first time Fang Shao has been a teacher for others, although it is with an impure purpose, but as Liu Bei's son's teacher, Fang Shao still has to pay attention to it, so for three days in a row, Fang Shao stayed at home to prepare for class, and it was considered to create a set of teaching materials in time.

The young Adou sat upright on his knees, holding the book that Fang Shao had placed in front of his desk in his small hand, and suddenly found that it was a little different from what his mother had taught him before, so he asked in a low voice: "Sir, don't I study the Analects?" ”

Fang Shao was not like other teachers, he had to show a strict teacher, he always had a kind smile on his face, and said: "The Analects is still too early for the eldest prince, from today onwards, the teacher will start with the "Three Character Classic". ”

As soon as he heard the name of "Three Character Classic", Adou was at a loss.

This "Three Character Classic", some people say that it was produced in the late Song Dynasty, and some people say that it came from the hands of the Ming people, anyway, it is not the Han Dynasty. Of course, Fang Shao himself couldn't memorize the "Three Character Classic", and besides, there were some contents in it that involved the things of the future generations, so Fang Shao racked his brains to reluctantly put together a set of incomplete "Three Character Classics", but this is enough, teach a few sentences today, teach a few sentences tomorrow, and it is enough to grind until he is gloriously laid off.

"The eldest son, follow the teacher to read, 'At the beginning of a person, the surname is benshan'."

"The ...... of Man At the beginning, the surname ...... Surname...... The surname is Benshan. Sir, what does this 'surname' mean? ”
