Chapter 33 Xuchang Night Talk

When Mi Zhu said so bluntly, Zhao Feng and Lu Su were immediately watched by everyone. Fortunately, both of them are used to being watched, and there is nothing to be uncomfortable with.

It's reasonable. Zhao Feng can't help but help Mi Zhu. But how to help, Zhao Feng knows that he is not as good as Lu Su in this aspect. In history, Sun Quan, who is suspicious, can be like a fish in water, and this little thing is not at hand.

Sure enough, Lu Su opened his mouth, but his opening was a little unexpected. Zizhong, Changwen, I understand what you mean. But do you know that you happened to ignore the most critical person? Lu Su said slowly.

"Who?" Mi Zhu asked inexplicably.

"Lord!" Lu Su's words are concise and authentic. Looking at the blank people in front of him, Lu Su said slowly, "Gentlemen, although the lord is not happy and angry, his heart is like a mirror. Now the Lord is in his prime, and the spring and autumn are in full bloom. If we urge him to establish an heir, I'm afraid it's not a wise move!" As soon as Lu Su said this, everyone looked thoughtful. Zhao Feng thought about it carefully and seemed to urge Liu Bei to make a decision now, which was indeed inappropriate and even taboo. After all, Liu Bei is only in his 40s and has a good body. There is no need to think about his children like this.

"Although Zijing's words make sense, I'm afraid that there will be many dreams at night!" Mi Zhu is worried. Lu Su smiled and said, "As the eldest son, the eldest son has been taught by Gongyou and his uncle. He has always been virtuous. Why worry about not being able to take the throne? As long as the eldest prince is virtuous, even if Pang Shiyuan turns the clouds upside down, what can he do?

"This is true!" After listening to Lu Su's words, Zhao Feng felt that it was best to subvert soldiers without fighting like this. If the whole Liu Bei Group now spends all its strength on infighting, but puts Cao's great enemy in the north, it will be a little upside down.

"In the opinion of the son, when should we talk to the lord so that the eldest son can inherit the throne?" Mi Zhu thought for a thought and then suggested. Lu Su stroked his goatee and continued to smile, "I think if eight years later, when the eldest son is weak, the master has not yet established an heir, we can take it for a reasonable line and admonish the master!"

"Eight years?" Not to mention Mi Zhu, the rest of the people were shocked. It's too long. Eight years later, the three young princes were only eight or nine years old, but the eldest son was an adult. At that time, who can compete with the eldest son? Or, before that time, the lord has already made the eldest son his heir!" Lu Su was a little surprised when he saw that everyone said quickly.

"That's the only way!" Zhao Feng sighed. When the two of them said this, the rest had to do so first. Everyone said some other gossip, and they dispersed. When Zhao Feng was about to leave, he was pulled by Mi Zhu on his sleeve robe.

"Zi Zhong, what's the matter?" Zhao Feng knew that Mi Zhu would not be aimless, so he asked quickly.

"General Zhao, Dog Jianwu, is 20 years old this year. This boy doesn't like reading, but he likes to dance with knives and guns. Zhu had no choice but to let him be a captain in the army. Today, I take the liberty to ask the general to take him into the river. If you have time, you can also mention the dog. Mi Zhu said with a smile.

Poor parents all over the world! Zhao Feng sighed. Mi Zhu is quite good to himself. He has not been in Xuzhou for so many years, but his winery and salt farm have always had their own shares. Although there were some elements of pulling in, he mentioned his son, just like Ma Yu and Zhuge Jun at the beginning, but he just did it smoothly and accepted it next time.

Mi Zhu's "forced palace" was strangled in the cradle by Lu Su. On the same day, Zhao Feng returned to his old house in Hanshou City and still seized the time to enjoy this rare holiday. But it seems that God doesn't give him a chance to enjoy this rare leisure. But such an opportunity is too extravagant for him. In a blink of an eye, the two-month vacation given to him by Liu Bei was almost over. Zhao Feng could only clean up, leave his wife and children for the time being, and then go to Xichuan to take office.

According to the usual practice, before leaving, Zhao Feng needed to report to Liu Bei. Now, after leaving Han Shou, he first passed Xu Chang to say goodbye to Liu Bei. After finishing his business, Liu Bei seemed to be quite interested. That night, he specially held a small banquet in his backyard to invite Zhao Feng to drink with him.

"Botao, now I sit in the land of Henan, half of the country. The restoration of the Han Dynasty is waiting. When you and I were in a small county on the plain, the official was just a county guard. How could I expect it to be today!" After three rounds of drinking, Liu Bei seemed to be emotionally mobilized, and he was a little happy.

"The Lord is wise, and he has such a foundation in just over ten years. It's really amazing!" Zhao Feng was half really praised and half flattered. He knew that if he hadn't been cautious over the years, Liu Bei would still be nestled in a small public security place, ready to fight against Cao with Sun Quan.

"I also know that over the years, if it hadn't been for your help, I'm afraid that Lv Bu would have taken Xuzhou and killed me. It's really difficult to create this foundation!" Liu Bei seemed to be nostalgic for Zhao Feng today and said to himself.

"My great man has also lasted for more than 400 years, and perhaps it is time to be replaced by his dynasty. But after being a high ancestor, you can't sit back and watch the decline of the Han Dynasty like others. Since the chaos of the yellow scarf, I have run around with Yun Chang and Yide. Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, "Although it was extremely difficult, I didn't regret it. In order to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and to reproduce the glory of Emperor Wu, even if Liu Bei was smashed to pieces, he would not hesitate to do so. Up to now, I have finally come to an end. I am all in the land of Henan, ruling thousands of miles of fertile fields, with more than thousands of people and more than half a million troops. There are also two brothers of Yunchang and Yide, who help you with Yuanzhi, Kongming, Shiyuan, Gongyou, Botao and Zijing. Even if Cao Qian is as strong as a ghost and god, I also have the courage and pride to fight with him. I'm not afraid of Bo Tao's jokes. I'm afraid the last glimmer of hope will fall on me. If I am defeated, there will be no second person who can compete with Cao Wei. At that time, I'm afraid that Cao Hen will do the usurpation of Wang Mang again.

"Lord!" Zhao Feng didn't know why Liu Bei sighed so suddenly. When he was about to open his mouth, he was waved by Liu Bei to stop, and he could only listen quietly.

"Botao, how many years have you and I known each other?" Liu Bei took a sip of wine and moistened his throat and asked leisurely.

"It's been 16 years!" Zhao Feng thought for a little.

"Sixteen years is not short. In addition to Yun Chang, Yide and Xianhe, you have known me for a long time. Since Botao, although our brothers still have setbacks, they are already better than what they used to have. Bo Tao, you are talented and knowledgeable. As a talent like you, I'm afraid that no one in the world can match except a few people. However," Liu Bei said that he paused here, as if he was thinking about how to phrase it. After a pause, he said, "I'm self-preparing to know people, but I haven't really understood you so far!"

"Lord, what do you mean by this?" As soon as Zhao Feng heard Liu Bei's words, he couldn't help but feel a little sudden. Liu Bei waved his hand to him not to be nervous, and then said slowly, "When Bo Tao and I met, we were not as young as the weak crown. For more than ten years, although I don't know you well, I also know that you are lazy and don't like to read poems and books. But your martial arts are not bad. You don't know where this literary talent, strategy and even the ability to govern the government come from. Tuntian, imperial examination, even the terrible plague, in your opinion, is just a disease of svalence. This is not something that has never been thought of before. Every time I think about this place, I wonder if there are really people in the world who know it. Otherwise, at your age, how can you have this full experience?

After Liu Bei finished his words, the two of them were relatively silent for a long time. After a long time, Zhao Feng said, "At the beginning, I was young and frivolous, and I didn't avoid suspicion, but it was a little too eye-catching."

"I think I know countless people in my life, but I can't see through you alone. In terms of indifference to fame and fortune, you don't let Kong Ming; in terms of bravery in battle, you are not inferior to the world's famous generals; in terms of people's wisdom, you are better than me. For people like you, I really don't know how to check and balance, how to drive, and how to control it!" Liu Bei sighed with emotion.

"Why didn't the lord kill me with a knife, a hundred?" Zhao Feng didn't seem to care about the swaying figures outside the door. Instead, he was discussing his life and death in an almost joking tone.

"Preparing is not Gaozu. He kills meritorious ministers for no reason, and he doesn't want to do it!" Liu Bei sighed. After a pause, Liu Bei said again, "Although Bei can't see through you, you can still be sure whether you have a backlash." The tone this time is quite certain.

"Oh? How did the unknown lord see it? Zhao Feng asked curiously.

"You know people's knowledge, no less than me. If you want to be independent, you have already used the talents of the world for your own use! Why do you need to put forward the system of imperial examination? Liu Bei said something funny.

"Is that so?" Zhao Feng was a little caught off guard by Liu Bei's conclusion. Perhaps this is the so-called unintentional arrangement of Liu Chengyin. Zhao Feng didn't expect his inadvertent behavior, but he added a piece of trust to himself in Liu Bei.

"It doesn't matter, the world is changing. If you can't see through it, you can't see through it!" Liu Bei seemed to figure something out. He picked up the glass and took another sip.

"Lord, I promise you. Tomorrow, the whole family will return to seclusion, and from now on, how about the world? Zhao Feng suddenly said. Liu Bei was surprised when he heard the words. He looked back at Zhao Feng with a serious look and knew that he was not joking.

"Botao, why do you do this!" Liu Bei sighed. He said. After pattting him on the shoulder, Liu Bei finally said, "Even if you want to go back to seclusion, you have to help me clean up Cao Mengde." Seeing Zhao Feng's silence, Liu Bei said again, "I, Liu Bei, asked myself that I was not a person who killed recklessly. Why are you so afraid of Bo Tao?"

"Well, if the lord does not think that Feng's wisdom is mediocre, Feng will work for the lord for a few more years!" Zhao Feng saw that Liu Bei said this, so he could only agree first. The two of them never mentioned anything about the right talent. They continued to drink until late at night when Zhao Feng left, but Liu Bei was already drunk.

"Alas!" Looking at Zhao Feng's back, Liu Bei, who had just been drunk, was completely drunk. He opened his eyes and sighed unknowingly. After Zhao Feng walked out of the door, a cool breeze blew, and he felt that his back was in a cold sweat, and even his robe was soaked.

"Grandma, it's more tiring than fighting a war. I really can't help it. The officialdom is sinister. It seems that I really have to plan for the future!" Zhao Feng muttered, his voice was very soft, but no one heard it.
