Sun Quan has a reason why he must be called the emperor, and this reason cannot be refuted by Zhou Yu and others.

Moreover, everyone is a smart person, from Sun Quan's reasons, Zhou Yu and others have already heard Sun Quan's determination to be the emperor, and they know that at this time, no matter how bad they oppose it, it will cause Sun Quan's rebellious psychology.

Since there is an urgent need to be the emperor in politics, Zhou Yu also chose to retreat, after all, strategy is just a continuation of politics, and adjustments can be made.

Zhou Yu just asked Sun Quan a question - how to define the relationship between Cao Wei and Xishu after becoming emperor.

Once he is proclaimed emperor, there is no question of alliance or non-alliance, although Liu Bei is benevolent, it does not mean that he is weak, and he will not continue to maintain an alliance with Sun Quan, a "usurper".

As for Cao Wei, he has just "become self-reliant on behalf of the Han Dynasty", and he will definitely not tolerate Sun Quan's behavior of "self-reliance and proclamation as emperor", not to mention that Cao Wei still wants to take back the Qingxu and Runan regions as soon as possible.

How to find the most favorable foreign policy for Jiangdong in this complicated situation is very important to Jiangdong today.

In fact, Sun Quan didn't think about this problem, so he had to ask Zhang Zhao's advice.

Jiangdong really does not have the saying that "Zhang Zhao is not decided on internal affairs, and Zhou Yu is not decided on foreign affairs", and there is no such division of labor between Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, both of them are people who can make suggestions on internal and external affairs, and Zhang Zhao, as the chief steward of Jiangdong, still has a relatively heavy right to speak in government affairs.

Zhang Zhao thought about it and suggested that Sun Quan send envoys to both families at the same time after becoming emperor, and first test the reaction of the two families.

If the two families react very poorly, then don't talk about it, let Zhou Yu and Lu Xun do a good job in the defense of Huaihai and Qingxu, and let Zhu Ran, Sun Shao, Sun Huan and others do a good job in the defense of the Yangtze River, and just be prepared for the other party to come at any time.

But if one of the two reacts okay, then try to be vague about some things, and it is not impossible to give up some interests, and form an alliance with one of them, at least to stabilize the situation first.

Among the Cao and Liu families, Zhang Zhao is actually more inclined to form an alliance with Cao Wei.

It's not that Zhang Zhao's French strategist has committed the same mistake again, the main thing is that Zhang Zhao really thinks that the current Cao Wei is actually a better party to bully.

Don't look at the current Cao Wei's economy and the number of troops are the first in the Three Kingdoms, but Cao Pi is honest, don't say that Sun Quan looks down on him, even Zhang Zhao thinks that this person is not good.

Soon after succeeding to the throne, he fought such a big defeat in Yongliang, and when he returned to Yecheng, he still had the face to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty. In addition to being thick-skinned, this person's other skills are really far worse than Cao Cao's.

On the contrary, on the Xishu side, Liu Bei is still alive, Jingzhou Guan Yu is not easy to mess with, his command is even stronger, there are many strategists and generals, and he has just annexed Yongliang Erzhou, although he needs to rest and digest it for a while, but once Liu Bei finishes digesting Yongliang Erzhou, his strength will definitely have to be upgraded to a higher level.

The current comparison of strength has changed a lot from the beginning, don't you see that even Zhou Yu has not mentioned any Sun-Liu Alliance anymore.

Compared with Cao Pi, who is easy to bully, Liu Bei is the most terrible hero of this era, and once this hero is allowed to defeat Chang'an or Wancheng and also obtain the passage into the Central Plains, then Cao Pi and Sun Quan are not nominally allied, and they really have to unite to fight against Liu Bei.

From a long-term perspective, Zhang Zhao actually suggested that Sun Quan form an alliance with Cao Wei.

Zhou Yu did not raise any objections to this, and in Zhou Yu's opinion, Zhang Zhao's proposal was really not wrong.

Ten years ago, when he was in Baqiu, Zhou Yu said in secret discussions with Lu Su, who was still alive at the time, that once Jiangdong could send troops to Huainan and capture Qingxu, and Liu Bei could go out of Qinchuan and attack Chang'an, there would be no need for the alliance between the two sides.

And now that this time has come, Zhou Yu is not particularly insisting on this Sun-Liu alliance.

Now the situation has become more and more complicated, and the relationship between the two sides can no longer be bound by a paper covenant.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao's consideration was right, after all, in Zhou Yu's opinion, the treacherous and cunning Liu Bei is indeed much more difficult to deal with than the stupid Cao Pi.

As for what Cao Pi thinks. Let's talk about it then, anyway, the response plan is already there, and the actual situation depends on the improvisation.

After clearing the last obstacle, Sun Quan decided to become emperor, and reached an agreement in the small circle.

And after that, Sun Quan has to make some preparations.

It's not that I ordered today that I want to be the emperor, and I can board the dragon chair to be the emperor, and many things need to be prepared in advance.

For example, like Cao Pi and Liu Bei, both of them have made a lot of preparations, and even Cao Pi has prepared a year in advance in order to create a sign of "auspicious appearance".

No matter how anxious Sun Quan is, it's not good for him to say that he wants to be the emperor.

What kind of auspiciousness, what prophecy, what hundreds of officials invite to play the seal of the Jin Emperor's throne, all need to arrange people to do it, and the various etiquette systems required to call the emperor also need people to arrange people to prepare, which takes time.

In this way, after Cao Pi became emperor, Liu Bei and Sun Quan's preparations for becoming emperor were also in orderly preparation.

In the twenty-seventh year of Jian'an, it was also April of the second year of Cao Wei's Huang Chu.

Liu Bei was the emperor in the south of Wudan Mountain in Chengdu, inherited the unification of the Han Dynasty, and announced the "two ancestors of Heiwu", that is, the inheritance of Liu Bang and Liu Xiu's throne, the year name "Zhangwu", changed to the first year of Zhangwu.

The Han Dynasty belongs to the fire virtue, and Liu Bei's year name "Zhang Wu" also belongs to the fire, which means that Liu Bei inherited the Han family, which means that the Han family is still there and has not perished.

After Liu Bei succeeded to the throne, he immediately announced the implementation of new official positions, replacing the "three princes and nine secretaries system" with the "three provinces and six ministries system", and set up the three provinces of Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province and Menxia Province, and at the same time set up six departments under Shangshu Province, namely the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites, to jointly take charge of the government.

Zhongshu Province is the decision-making body, and the Zhongshu Order has the function of assisting the emperor in making decisions, so Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang as the Zhongshu Order.

Shangshu Province is the executive agency, Shangshu Ling is the person responsible for the implementation of specific affairs, Liu Bei promoted the former Hanzhong Wang Shangshu Ling Fa Zheng to Shangshu Province Shangshu Ling, the prime minister of the six ministries.

Menxia Province is the deliberative body, and Menxia Province is a close minister of the emperor, helping the emperor to review the implementation of decisions, formulating national policies together with Zhongshu Province, and at the same time has the right to refute the edicts of Zhongshu Province and the emperor.

Liu Bei appointed Pang Tong as the provincial servant under his men.

In addition, Liu Bei also re-established the Imperial Historical Observatory, restored the duties of the Imperial Historical Doctor, and ordered the Imperial Historical Doctor to lead the Imperial Historical Inspector to supervise hundreds of officials, supervise the operation of state affairs, and be directly responsible to the emperor, which improved the rights of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Liu Bei appointed Yu Tuo, who had just arrived in Chengdu from Jingzhou, as Ji Han's first imperial historian.

Speaking of Yu Flip, in fact, his mood can be said to be up and down.

Sima Hui asked him to come to Chengdu, in fact, to compete with Xu Jing for the position of secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Although Yu Chuan is not very interested in the book of the Ministry of Rites, he has always been very unaccustomed to Xu Jing, and he came to Chengdu not for anything else, just to spray Xu Jing - you dare to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites? !

But Xu Jing is not a fool, what kind of reputation do you have, can everyone not know? !

I came to Chengdu at this juncture, and it was clear that the carriage and horse were coming for me Xu Jing. If you squirt this stinky mouth, what a loss of face?!

At this critical moment of fighting for the book of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jing didn't want to make extraneous branches.

Therefore, when Yu Fu arrived in Chengdu and had not officially visited Xu Jing, he heard the news that Xu Jing occasionally felt cold and was bedridden.

Xu Jing is also over 70 years old this year, and people of this age are also infected with wind and cold, so they are also great Confucians, and they must not spray a seventy-year-old man at this time.

Therefore, Yu Fu temporarily stayed in Chengdu, planning to wait for Xu Jing to recover from his illness before making plans.

But Xu Jing, an old fox, can let Yu Fu be idle in Chengdu like this? !

The old fox directly gave Liu Bei a letter of soothing, recommended Yu Flip to Liu Bei, and praised Yu Turn, saying that Yu Flip has a straightforward personality and dares to speak out, and is a rare upright person in the world, hoping that Liu Bei can appreciate Yu Turn's talent and reuse it.

At this time, Liu Bei was also considering whether to reset the imperial history platform and establish a perfect supervision system, after all, the official supervision system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "assassination system", had completely collapsed because of Liu Yan's request to "abolish history and establish pasture".

At this time, the history of assassination was more of a pronoun for the chief official of a state, and it no longer had the role of supervising local administration.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi proposed to Liu Bei at the same time to restore the imperial history system, and even Zhang Xi moved out the imperial history system in later generations, and put forward the concept of inspecting the imperial history, which made Liu Bei's eyes shine.

But if such a system is to be enforced, then the Imperial Historian, who oversees all the inspections of the Imperial History, is a very important position, and this position requires not only fame, but also a person of upright nature.

Liu Bei couldn't find a suitable candidate to be the imperial doctor, but Xu Jing started to play, saying that there was a person named Yu Turn, who was not only famous, but also upright by nature, and most importantly, he dared to spray anyone.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly sent someone to invite Yu Tuo, and talked to Yu Tuo several times.

Yu Flip this person, famous, Liu Bei has also heard of it, and the most heard is that Yu Flip sprayed whoever and whom. For Yu to dare to spray, this Liu Bei has no doubts at all.

But Liu Bei set up the position of Imperial Doctor, not simply to find a troll, this position is to help him supervise the implementation of the government by hundreds of officials, and at the same time supervise the character and style of hundreds of officials.

And after talking to Yu Xuan, Liu Bei found that this person not only can spray, but also has outstanding talents.

Originally, Zhang Xi only put forward a concept of the Yushitai system, but in the several discussions between Liu Bei and Yu Tuo, it gradually took shape.

Even Yu Fu also put forward his own ideas about the internal supervision of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and said that as the supervision of the hundred officials, the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Historian must also have the obligation to accept the supervision of the hundred officials, so as to ensure that the Imperial Historical Observatory is really performing its duties, not spraying for the sake of spraying.

Liu Bei appreciated this very much, and immediately made a decision to let Yu turn over the position of Imperial Doctor, which was half a level higher than the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Yu also wondered what I came to Chengdu for?!

Why did you become a doctor in a daze?!

But this post. Why are you still a little excited?!
