Gamme advised him to focus on big things and not to worry about himself.

"Ganmei, you are always so sensible and think so much about me." said jokingly, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Xi Yu remembered the time they had spent together, and those happy days unfolded in his mind like beautiful pictures.

"For you, for our future, I will definitely work hard." Xi Yu said to himself silently.

At this moment, Xi Yu seems to be no longer a big prince, but like the husband of an ordinary family.

Xi Yu stayed here for half an hour before leaving.

The next day, Xi Yu summoned Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and other ministers together to discuss Zhuge Liang's proposal to claim the throne. The atmosphere in the conference room was tense, and everyone looked solemn.

Xi Yu looked at Zhuge Liang first and said, "Didn't you make a suggestion?" It's up to you to tell everyone. ”

Zhuge Liang cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, now our battle with Cao Pi is inevitable. In order to make our actions more justified and more powerful to call on the righteous people of the world to fight against Cao Pi, I think that the opera must be the king. ”

Jia Xu shook his head and interjected: "Kong Ming, although your idea is good, it is a little too idealistic. Our goal is to defeat Cao Pi and occupy the Central Plains, not to pursue an empty name. ”

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and retorted: "Lord Jia, a justifiable name can make our soldiers more inspiring and the people support us more. This is very helpful for our war. ”

Xi Yu looked at Jia Xu, then at Zhuge Liang, and said: "What the two of them said makes sense, but the emphasis is different. What do you think about this? ”

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the conference room. Some people support Zhuge Liang's view, believing that being king can improve morale; Some people agree with Jia Xu's opinion and feel that there is no need to worry about a name.

Gradually, supporters and opponents began to discuss, and the scene was like a market.

But Xi Yu was very happy, because these people did not figure out what they meant, but sincerely solved the problem.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I have a way to decide."

After that, Xi Yu asked everyone to vote to decide whether to be the king, and the principle of the minority obeying the majority.

Everyone looked at each other, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was okay to do so.

Xi Yu said: "Vote now, please raise your hand if you support the king." ”

Some of them slowly raised their hands, their eyes determined that being king was an inevitable choice in the current situation.

Xi Yu counted the number of people who raised their hands, looked at the ministers who did not raise their hands, and then said: "Now half of those who support the title of king and those who do not support the title of king are divided. ”

There was silence in the room.

Xi Yu didn't expect this to be the result.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Sun Quan walked into the conference room, he was originally looking for Xi Yu to discuss the matter of the Chamber of Commerce, but when he saw everyone's expressions, he realized that something important was going on.

"I'm sorry, Xigong, my subordinates will come back later."

When Sun Quan turned to leave, Xi Yu stopped him.

"Zhongmou, you've come just in time. We're debating whether to be crowned king or not, so let's vote for it. Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then asked what was going on.

Zhuge Liang said about the relevant situation, and now they all account for half, so his vote plays a crucial role.

Sun Quan smiled slightly and said, "Then I might as well be respectful." ”

Sun Quan walked up to Xi Yu and said, "I don't think it's a wise choice to be king now. We should concentrate on fighting Cao Pi instead of distracting our forces for the sake of a name. ”

His words caused some ministers who had supported the title of king to start rethinking. Sun Quan continued: "Our goal is to unify the world and let the people live a peaceful life. The title of a king doesn't change anything, it's our actions and decisions that matter. ”

Xi Yu nodded and said, "Zhongmou has a point. Then, let's put aside the issue of being the king for the time being, and focus on fighting Cao Pi first. ”

The atmosphere in the conference room has also become relaxed.

Xi Yu looked at everyone and said, "Since everyone has reached a consensus, then today's meeting is over." We each went back and prepared for the coming war. ”

In this way, everyone dispersed, and Sun Quan stayed behind to report to Xi Yu about the situation of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce.

After the meeting, Zhuge Liang waited outside, his face gloomy and his heart full of anger.

He believes that Xi Yu should not let everyone vote, but should make his own decisions. He felt that Xi Yu had thought about being the king in his heart, and everyone should do things according to his ideas.

After Sun Quan left, Zhuge Liang saw Xi Yu again. Xi Yu felt Zhuge Liang's dissatisfaction, but he still remained calm.

"Xigong, you really shouldn't let everyone vote, you just need to give an order and call the king directly, right?"

"Why are you so angry? What is there beforehand to sit down. ”

Zhuge Liang did it angrily.

Xi Yu told Zhuge Liang not to be angry, everyone did it sincerely, they didn't see the wind and rudder, but made a choice based on their own judgment.

"So it's a new vibe, don't you think that's a good thing?"

When Zhuge Liang heard Xi Yu say this, he also felt that there was some truth.

His face softened a little. He realized that he might be too eager to take everyone's thoughts into account.

"Xigong, it's that your subordinates are too abrupt and don't think about the problem well, I hope you can punish you."

Xi Yu continued: "The most important thing for us now is to unite and fight Cao Pi together. The title of a king doesn't change anything, it's our actions and decisions that matter. You don't have to say that, I know you're thinking about me too."

"Okay, drama master, if there is nothing else, then the subordinate will retire."

Xi Yu nodded, and then let Zhuge Liang retreat.

That night, Xi Zhicai, the housekeeper and Qin Feng came to Youzhou.

Because Qin Feng was a secret guard, many people didn't know him, so the soldiers guarding the door didn't let him in at all, and as for Xi Zhicai and the housekeeper, they didn't know him.

Only then did the housekeeper understand that there was such a system here.

Qin Feng was not angry, because this was a rule made by Xi Yu, and he naturally couldn't object to it.

So, he let the two of them stay in the inn, and he went to tell Xi Yu that if he entered the city gate, of course it would be easy.

At dusk, the dark guard Qin Feng appeared beside Xi Yu.

As soon as he saw Qin Feng, Xi Yu felt very happy.

Qin Feng said in a low voice: "Xi Gong, Xi Zhicai and the housekeeper have arrived, but they can't enter easily. ”

When Xi Yu heard this, he was excited in his heart, he didn't expect that his brother was really here.

Xi Yu's eyes flashed with determination, and he decided to go to see his brother in person. He turned to Qin Feng and said, "Tell me where they are now, I'm going to see them." ”

Qin Feng nodded and quickly told Xi Yu the specific location.

Xi Yu rode his bicycle and left quietly.

He soon came to the inn, probably with a clear heart, and Xi Zhicai was already waiting at the door of the inn.

Xi Yu saw his brother's figure from a distance, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Because this encounter was different from any previous encounter.

He quickly rushed towards Xi Zhicai.

The two hugged each other tightly, feeling the joy of reunion after a long absence.

They didn't say anything, because at this moment there is really silence better than sound.

After a while, Xi Zhicai said: "Let's rest for a while at the first inn, come in and drink saliva." ”

So, Xi Yu walked in.

Xi Yu told his brother about his situation in Youzhou and the current predicament.

Xi Zhicai listened quietly, and he expressed his appreciation for Xi Yu's efforts and dedication. He said: "I am here to support you. We face difficulties together and protect Youzhou together. ”

Xi Yu and Xi Zhicai began to discuss a plan to deal with Cao Pi. During the discussion, Xi Yu felt the wisdom and courage of his brother. He knew that with the support of Xi Zhicai, they would definitely be able to overcome the difficulties.

"I've become a traitor now". Xi Zhicai sighed.

"Brother, I think you should be a sensible person, otherwise you wouldn't have come here."

Of course, Xi Yu understands how much effort it takes for his brother to make this decision.

And Xi Zhicai also told that fortunately there is a secret passage at home, otherwise he would not have been able to come over so smoothly.

Time passed quickly, and night fell.

"Brother, come back with me."

Xi Zhicai nodded, went to another room and called the housekeeper over, and then introduced to Xi Yu, the center's housekeeper's surname was Wang.

Steward Wang also immediately saluted Xi Yu.

After returning home, Xi Yu settled down with Xi Zhicai, and then took him to the restaurant outside to eat, and the brothers must celebrate it today.

That night, the brothers said a lot of intimate things.

Xi Zhicai drank too much, and then told the story of the two when they were young.

Xi Yu was also very drunk, but this time the boss knew them.

So I went to the theater in time to report the news and asked a few soldiers to take them away.

The next day, the two had no idea how they had come back.

Later, Xi Yu learned that it was the boss who informed the soldiers to bring him back.

But he didn't feel particularly embarrassed yesterday, because it was a natural reaction after seeing his brother.

On the other side, under the escort of the two generals Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun and the soldiers, Liu Xie finally returned to the palace in Chang'an.

After a long journey, everyone looked a little tired.

Liu Xie looked at the late sky, and said to everyone with concern: "Soldiers, everyone has worked hard today. It's getting late, so stay in Chang'an, have a good night's rest, and then hurry tomorrow. ”

Everyone should say yes in unison.

Liu Xie and the little eunuch returned to the palace, and before returning to the palace, they had already chartered a large inn for everyone to live in.

Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu decided to take this opportunity to go out for a walk and feel the prosperity of Chang'an.

After all, they rarely come once.

The two shuttled through the bustling crowd, chatting while enjoying the night view of the street. Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh: "Chang'an is really prosperous, much more lively than the place where we were stationed before. ”

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement: "Yes, but the prosperity here also makes me feel a little uneasy." The more prosperous the place, the easier it is to hide dirt and dirt. And this prosperity is only superficial, how can it compare to the territory managed by the theater office"?

Just then, there was a sudden noise. The two followed the sound and saw a group of people beating up a hawker.

Zhao Yun immediately rushed up and stopped the group of people: "Stop!" What are you doing? ”

One of the leaders arrogantly said, "Who are you?" Dare to meddle with our business? This peddler won't pay protection money, and we're teaching him a lesson! ”

Zhao Yun said angrily: "You scoundrels, you actually oppress the defenseless people, is there any royal law?" ”

The man smiled disdainfully: "Wang Fa? Here, we are the king! As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for his men to come up with him.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu also drew his sword and stood side by side with Zhao Yun.

Both of them are battle-hardened generals, so it is natural to deal with these little gangsters. After a while, the group was beaten to the ground and fled in confusion.

The hawker was grateful, and thanked him again and again: "Two heroes, thank you for saving me." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be more than lucky today. ”

Zhao Yun shook his head: "No thanks, Lu Jian is uneven and draws a knife to help, this is what we should do." ”

The two of them walked around for a while and then went back.

"I'll just say it, the prosperity on the surface is easy to hide dirt."

"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense, but even if it is a territory managed by Xizhi, there is no guarantee that everyone will be able to abide by the law."

On the second day, Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu hit the road.

They were going to return to Youzhou with all the soldiers.

The Darktail Tiger came to Luoyang, constantly searching for news about Sima Yi.

He wrote a letter to Xi Yu, saying that he was now following the news.

On this day, Xi Yu led the two new ladies to meet Xi Zhicai, especially Song Meijiao, didn't she always want to see this uncle?

The two of them hurriedly saluted Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai saw that the two women were so beautiful, and he sighed in his heart that his younger brother was really a blessing.

"Two younger brothers and sisters, get up quickly, I hope you can be my brother's virtuous help."

"Don't worry, uncle, even if you don't tell us, we will do it."

On the other side, Luoyang.

In Sima Yi's room, Sima Yi was sitting in a precarious position and said to Sima Yi: "Dad, I found a warlock, he can deal with Xi Yu." ”

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh?" What the hell is going on? ”

Sima Yi explained the warlock's situation in detail. It turned out that this warlock was proficient in the art of yin and yang and the five elements, and was able to deduce a person's fate and fortune by observing the celestial phenomena and the eight characters of a person's birth.

After pondering for a moment, Sima Yi nodded and said, "Okay, then let's use this warlock together to deal with Xi Yu." ”

The two began to discuss specific plans.

So, Sima Shi hurriedly let the warlock come in, and the warlock looked very beautiful and saluted Sima Yi respectfully.

Sima Yi asked him some questions, and then planned to take him to Cao Pi.

The next day, Sima Yi and his son led the warlock to Cao Pi and explained the plan and the plan.

"As long as you master Xi Yu's birthday, you can deal with him."

A glimmer of light flashed in Cao Pi's eyes, and he nodded slightly in approval.

and praised Sima Yi for raising a good son. Sima Shi lowered his head, indicating that this was what he should do.

"But how can we grasp his birth date?" Cao Pi hurriedly asked.

"Cao Gong doesn't have to worry, there is naturally a special way to do it."

But as for how this method is, the warlock will never say.

"What's your name?"

"Back to Cao Gong, I will call Meng Yulei below."

"If you can really succeed, if you have any conditions, as long as you can meet them, you will definitely meet them."

Cao Pi touched the beard on his chin and said slowly.

"But if you don't have any skills, don't blame Ben Hou for being polite, and he will divide your five horses into corpses when the time comes."

Meng Yulei smiled slightly after hearing this, he seemed to be particularly confident, saying that he would also succeed.

"Cao Gong, don't worry, it only takes a maximum of ten days, and I will be able to succeed."

Meng Yulei analyzed, so don't start any war within ten days, if Xi Yu really wants to start a war, they must find a way to drag it out.

"Well, I believe this should not be a difficult matter." Sima Yi said immediately.

Cao Pi nodded, and then let Meng Yulei stay by his side, and entertained him with good wine and drink.

"Zhongda, you father and son are also meritorious, what reward is there, you can say."

"Back to Cao Gong, this is what we should do, so we can't ask for additional rewards." Sima Shi bowed respectfully.

Cao Pi said that he would never forget them.

If there is any reward in the future, I will definitely think about them, and after that, the father and son will go back.

When he returned home, Sima Yi always felt that things were going too well, and he suspected that there might be a conspiracy hidden in it. Sima Shi comforted him and said, "Dad, don't be suspicious, there is no problem at all." ”

"Then tell your father how you met this Meng Yulei."

As the father and son spoke, they entered the study.

"It's all introduced by some business partners." As soon as he sat down, Sima Shi said.

Although I haven't been doing business lately, I'm drinking with a few partners at noon today.

Someone had inadvertently talked about the Warlock, so he paid extra attention. So he asked his friend to meet the warlock.

In this way, he knew Meng Yulei.

Meng Yulei is very capable, but he is particularly short of money, so it is natural to call him.

Sima Yi kept frowning.

"Dad, don't worry, nothing will happen. This thing has really been done, and our father and son will go down in history." Sima Shi had a smile on his face. (End of chapter)
