"Uncle." Liu Cong suddenly knelt in front of Cai Mao and said "uncle", which made Cai Mao a little surprised. Because of Mrs. Cai, Liu Cong really should call him uncle. But that was before, when Liu Cong was still young, and Cai Mao had never been there before.
I never thought about being Liu Cong's uncle.
"Uncle, I am really helpless about what happened in Jiangling." Cai Hao came to his senses and hurriedly helped Liu Cong up and said, "Those two bastards committed their own sins and deserved to die. Young master, you don't have to be like this."
Kuai Yue did not turn a blind eye to Liu Cong like before, but also supported him and said: "Young Master, now is not the time to talk about this. Go and see the Lord first."
"Yes, yes, second brother, let's go see father first." Liu Xiu and others also said.
Surrounded by everyone, Liu Cong went straight into the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion. In the backyard, Liu Cong came in and saw Mrs. Cai talking to Liu Biao.
"Father, mother, my son is back." Liu Cong knelt down to the two of them and said.
"Ah! Cong'er is back?" Mrs. Cai exclaimed and turned to look at Liu Cong, full of joy and a little bit of grievance.
"Mother, the child is unfilial." Liu Cong looked at Mrs. Cai and felt really guilty. He knelt in front of Mrs. Cai and cried bitterly.
Mrs. Cai patted his back: "That's it, that's it. It's all over. Come and see your father."
"Father." Liu Cong looked at Liu Biao on the bed, turned around and shouted to Xu Feng: "Go and invite Mr. Zhang."
"No." After a while, Xu Feng led Zhang Zhongjing inside.
"Father, this is Jingnan's miracle doctor, Zhang Zhongjing. I asked him to come and treat my father." Liu Cong knelt in front of Liu Biao and said.
"I have heard of Zhang Ji's name for a long time." Liu Biao nodded with a smile, signaling to Zhang Zhongjing.
Liu Cong stood up and moved away to make way for Zhang Zhongjing. Zhang Zhongjing took Liu Biao's pulse at random, then asked about Liu Biao's condition, took off Liu Biao's clothes, felt them, and started acupuncture.
"Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?" Liu Cong waited for Zhang Zhongjing to finish the operation, then hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Zhang Zhongjing glanced around, and Liu Biao said: "Everyone go out, Cong'er stays."
After everyone left the house, Zhang Zhongjing said to Liu and his son: "Liu Jingzhou is old and his energy and blood have declined. Coupled with the anger and anger this time, he only has half a year left at most." Zhang Zhongjing didn't care at all about Liu and his son.
The only identity in his eyes is the patient.
Liu Biao smiled bitterly. It was exactly as he felt. The end was coming. Liu Cong looked at Zhang Zhongjing eagerly and asked, "Mr. Zhang, is there no way out?"
Zhang Zhongjing thought for a while and said: "There is a way to nourish Liu Jingzhou's qi and blood with tonics, but such tonics are probably not easy to find. In addition, Liu Jingzhou must not be stimulated anymore, and he must try to maintain his mood.
gentle."
Liu Biao said at this time: "Mr. Zhang, you go ahead and I'll talk to Cong'er."
"I'll take my leave."
After Zhang Zhongjing left, Liu expressed his intention and asked Liu Cong to sit down, "Where is your elder brother?"
"I asked him to go back home and think about his past behind closed doors." Liu Cong said as he knelt down beside Liu Biao's bed.
"After I die, let him enjoy his wealth and honor."
"No." Faced with Liu Biao's only request, Liu Cong agreed.
"Have Jingnan's troops been brought back?"
"In Jiangling, Pang Shiyuan and Huang Zhong integrated training."
"You have done a good job. I feel relieved to leave Jingzhou to you. I must treat your mother well."
"My child knows." Liu Cong couldn't help but choke when he heard Liu Biao's instructions, which seemed to be about the funeral arrangements.
"In a few days, I'll find an auspicious day and crown you." Liu Biao added, crowning. In ancient times, people were considered adults only after they were crowned.
Without waiting for Liu Cong to reply, Liu Biao continued: "You can take over the affairs of Jingzhou now and let me spend more time with your mother. After you are crowned and given the title, I will go to the emperor and ask you to be the general of Zhennan.
Jingzhou Mu."
"Father..." Liu Cong was about to say something, but Liu Biao raised his hand and interrupted, "You are doing better than me. I feel relieved to leave it to you. No need to say more."
"Go ahead and call your mother and the others in."
"promise!"
Late at night, Liu Cong leaned on Fan's body, enjoying Fan's massage while thinking about how to find a medicine to replenish Liu Biao's qi and blood.
For Liu Biao to be able to live longer, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for him. At least Liu Biao is here, and he can slowly mediate with the family. If Liu Biao dies, he can only suppress it with a knife in one hand and a carrot in the other.
Already.
As a result, Jingzhou's internal integration will also take time, and he will have no energy to expand externally.
The rectification of various uniforms is secondary. The main thing is that so many talents are needed.
Among the scholars in Jingzhou, who is not related to whom? Who is not closely related to the aristocratic family? They are either the children of the aristocratic family, or the scholars supported by the aristocratic family.
Or, they are fellow disciples like Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Cui Zhouping, Xu Shu and others. Even more distant, they are also friends like Ma Liang and Jiang Wan.
Damn it. Thinking about Liu Biao's physical condition, why did you think of these questions again?
After thinking for a long time and still having no clue, Liu Cong felt a little annoyed, shook his head and got up and said: "Go to bed!"
"I dress like my husband." Mrs. Fan hurriedly stood up to serve.
The next day, Liu Biao held on to his sick body and summoned the civil and military officials of Jingzhou.
"Everyone, I have called you here today. I have two things to say." Liu Biao sat on the main seat and tried to straighten his body.
"First, starting today, my son Liu Cong will officially take over Jingxiang!"
Cai Hao and Kuai Yue looked at each other, neither of them expected that such a situation would occur.
Before Liu Biao opened his mouth, there were already whispers below. No one could have imagined that Liu Biao would delegate power to his son like this. Such a thing had never happened before.
The only supreme emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's father, Liu Taigong. That was just because he was Liu Bang's father and did not have actual power.
Then there was King Wuling of Zhao, who claimed to be the master's father, and made his son Zhao Zhang the acting king, and Zhao He the king of Zhao. In the end, he was also betrayed by Duke Shaqiu, and he himself starved to death.
Since then, which generation of emperors and princes has not been succeeded by the son after the death of the father? No one has handed over the big stick of power to his son while he was still alive.
When the crowd's voices gradually subsided, Liu Biao said again: "Secondly, choose an auspicious day to crown my Cong'er! For this matter, De Gao (Han Song), you go and choose a good day."
"No." Before Han Song could accept Liu Biao's sudden handover of power, he was assigned another task by Liu Biao.
"It has been seventeen years since I rode into Jingzhou alone in the first year of Chuping (AD 190). I have been in charge of Jingxiang for seventeen years. Externally, I have made no achievements and even lost Wancheng."
In Wancheng, Liu Biao accepted Zhang Xiu to garrison in Wancheng in order to resist the Cao family. Now Wancheng is Cao Cao's territory, and even Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao.
"Lord!" Everyone came out and knelt down.
Liu Biao waved his hand, "In the fifth year of Jian'an, during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan and Cao clashed. This was a great opportunity to go north to defeat Cao and rescue the emperor. However, the four counties in Jingnan rebelled, and I could not go south to quell the rebellion."
"People say that I, Liu Jingsheng, am the leader of the city, but it is actually forced by the situation. No matter what, the people in Jingxiang, where I, Liu Biao, are in charge, are considered wealthy, and there are no major wars."
"I also encouraged education and founded schools. I, the talented scholar of Jingxiang, am also famous all over the world! I am in charge of Jingxiang, and thanks to your help, I, Liu Jingsheng, am able to dominate the south."
"From now on, I hope you will help my son Liu Cong with your heart. I would like to thank you again." After saying this, Liu Biao, with the support of Mrs. Cai beside him, bowed deeply to everyone.
"Lord!" Some people in the hall were already crying.
Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone in 190. During his time in charge of Jingxiang, he established schools and cultivated rituals and music. It is true that he did not make much achievements, but for the people, the best life was without war.
When dealing with aristocratic families, Liu Biao also focused on compromise and treated them with tolerance and courtesy. Although this was related to the reason for his superiority, it was true.
Jingxiang civil and military officials really couldn't bear to part with such a lord.
Liu Biao nodded with a smile, looked at Liu Cong who was stunned and said, "Cong'er, starting from today, Jingzhou is yours!"
