Chapter [331] Preparing To Become Emperor
The matter of unifying the world is the most difficult at the beginning. There is a lot of waste to be done, and it is necessary to build a foundation from scratch.
In the mid-term, Lu Bu was basically able to do it with ease, even if the other princes joined forces repeatedly, it was difficult to shake Lu Bu's foundation.
But now that it has reached the later stage, it has become easier and easier.
At this moment, Lu Bu is already extremely powerful, while the other princes are becoming weaker and weaker.
Just like before, when Lu didn't step out at all, Liu Bei just dropped-Xuzhou ran away.
The reason is nothing more than that the gap in strength is too large, such as Zhuge can't use his personal ability to smooth the gap between countries.
With Liu Bei fleeing, only Cao Cao's family is left in the world at this moment. Even if the troops brought by Liu Bei are counted, the total of the two is only 60,000.
Just at the end of the autumn harvest, when the state of Qin has the most food and grass, it can take advantage of the situation to send troops to Hulao Pass, surround Cao Cao with a large army, and end the state of separatism in one fell swoop, thus completing the great cause of unification.
Although the world has not yet been unified, Lu cannot win the world. It has become a certainty that the Qin Dynasty will replace the Han Dynasty, and it is also the consensus of the whole world.
Even Cao Cao and Liu Bei themselves didn't think they had any chance of winning, and couldn't see a shred of hope. They just didn't want to be reconciled to the years of hard work, and they continued to persevere.
"Your Majesty, Cao and Liu will definitely stick to Xu County if there is no accident." Jia Xu said.
"Well, both of them are heroes in this life, the probability of surrender is basically negligible." Lu Bu nodded in agreement.
Lu Bu didn't think about the surrender of Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Neither of them seemed like someone who would surrender. Besides, if they wanted to surrender, they would have surrendered a long time ago. Why delay it until now.
Since he did not choose to surrender early, he must have made up his mind to fight to the end.
"The mantis arm is nothing more than a chariot, pulling all Daqin's troops to the city of Xu County. Cao and Liu can be besieged without attacking." Zhang Song interjected.
"Indeed, the outcome of the battle doesn't need to be considered, it depends on how long Cao Liu can hold on." Lu Bu said casually.
In the battle of unification, Lu Bu must come to the front line in person.
With Lu Bu in charge in person, coupled with the absolute advantages in military strength and food, there will certainly not be a comeback. Although the war has not yet begun, it is already a sure win.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to think about the unification." Jia Xu reminded suddenly.
"What?" Lu Bu didn't realize it for a while.
"Naturally proclaiming himself emperor."
Lu Bu was stunned when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Indeed, tell the court to start preparations, start preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and directly ascend the throne in Xianyang after Gu triumphantly returns."
When things come to an end, there is nothing to avoid. It is a matter of course to ascend the throne after unification.
Is it possible to return the government to Liu Xie if he is not enthroned? No one can do such a thing without brain damage.
"Of order." The two immediately agreed.
"How has the prince performed this year?" Lu Bu asked immediately.
Lu Shao has been in charge of supervising the affairs of the state since he went away for a year. Although he didn't understand anything, Lu Bu just let his son get in touch with government affairs and gradually became familiar with these things.
"The prince is intelligent and has successors. This is the blessing of the great king and the great Qin." Jia Xu said immediately.
Lu Bu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Before coming to the government affairs hall, Cai Yan had already started giving morning lessons to the children.
Except for Lu Wangyou who was still in his infancy, the remaining five children had to learn from Cai Yan.
With Cai Yan in charge of education, Lu Bu can rest assured, after all, even Lu Bu was handed over by Cai Yan, and Cai Yan's teaching ability is absolutely reliable.
"Okay, thank you gentlemen, let's start processing the official documents." Lu Bu said, looking at the huge amount of government affairs in front of him.
Jia Xu and Zhang Song had nothing to do. After the three of them made a clear division of labor, the government affairs hall immediately became quiet, with only the sound of flipping over the bamboo slips and the sound of writing with a brush.
Lu Bu turned the speed of his brain to the limit, activated both his photographic memory and dual-purpose at the same time, holding a brush in his left and right hands, and began to frantically review these official documents.
Time passed by, and Lu Bu was like an old monk in meditation, sitting in front of the desk and mechanically handling various things.
I don't know how long it has passed, Lu Bu stretched out his hand to grab an empty space, and couldn't help but look back, only to find that the original pile of official documents had all disappeared.
There was a sound from "Gululu"'s belly, and Lu Bu was overwhelmed by a flood of hunger.
At the same time, Lu Bu also felt stiff all over and his wrists were sore, which is very rare for Lu Bu.
Lu Bu immediately realized that he must have been here for many days, otherwise his body would not be so uncomfortable, let alone feel hungry.
"How many days have passed?" Lu Bu's voice was hoarse when he first spoke.
"Your Majesty, five days have passed." Jia Xu said weakly.
"Didn't the two gentlemen go back to rest?" Lu Bu couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty is still working hard on official documents, how dare I go back to rest without authorization." Zhang Song said with a wry smile: "The two ministers have been here all the time. When they are tired, they lie down on the table to take a rest. The queen has sent people to deliver meals many times. "
"It's been hard work, both gentlemen, go home and rest quickly." Lu Bu was also quite embarrassed.
Jia Xu and Zhang Song are not young anymore, and they work with them for five days and five nights. Even if they eat and sleep in the middle, it is not comfortable to work like this continuously. Not everyone can have the abnormal energy of Lu Bu.
"Come here, send a carriage to take the two gentlemen back to your residence." Lu Bu directed the order outside, and said: "The two gentlemen go back and have a good rest, rest for three to five days and then come back to work. "Take a good rest and recuperate your body."
The work intensity in these five days was very high, and Lu Bu had finished handling the government affairs accumulated for a year. The two of them must have worked hard, or they would not be able to keep up with Lu Bu's speed.
"Your Majesty, leave." The two slowly got up and left with the support of the palace servants.
Before leaving, Lu Bu gave the two people a pulse to ensure that they would not die suddenly when they returned home, and then let them go home.
These are all his subordinates, and he must pay attention to physical problems.
Walking in the palace, Lu Bu quickly inhaled a lot of fresh air, and his mental state quickly recovered, including the great relief of the hunger in his abdomen.
0...asking for flowers...
As soon as he returned to the harem, Yan Shiyu greeted him with complaints, "I'm back, do you feel unwell?" showing deep concern.
"It's okay, Mrs. Lao is concerned." Lu Bu felt warm in his heart.
"You can't waste sleep and food like this when dealing with state affairs. If you don't come back to rest today, I'm going to drag you by force." Yan said, taking the coat from Lu Bu.
Before Lu Bu could sit down, a group of palace servants brought out meals, all of which were meat, and it was obvious that the Yan family had prepared them in advance.
Lu Bu was also very hungry. He grabbed the meat and started to feast on it. He swept away the food delivered like a storm, and his stomach was like a bottomless pit, as if it would never be filled.
"Do you want to eat some more?" Yan was still worried that Lu Bu would not be full.
"Come on, just eat this much first, there's no need to be too full." Lu Bu waved his hand and refused, and asked instead: "How is Xiang'er? Is she still adapting to the environment at home?"
After disappearing for five days in a row, Sun Shangxiang was extremely obsessed with herself again, and Lu Bu was a little worried about her state.
"No problem, that girl also loves to play. She hangs out with Chan'er, Zhen'er, Mi'er, and Lingqi every day, and even leaves the child to my concubine to take care of her." Yan said with some headaches .
The fun-loving team at home is getting bigger and bigger. After a few years, Cai Yan and Diao Chan's daughter will grow up slowly, and the team will be even bigger by then.
"That's fine, there aren't many people in the palace, so don't make it dead." Lu Bu said indifferently.
Lu Bu's family lived in the huge harem, as well as some of the serving maids, and the number of them was very small.
Hearing that Sun Shangxiang has adapted to the life here [Chuanbu] is completely relieved.
"Do you want to take a break? Husband hasn't closed his eyes for five days." Yan persuaded.
"Yeah." Lu Bu got up as he spoke, and walked into the room with Yan Shi in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Yan was a little embarrassed, mainly because it was still daytime.
Even though being hugged by Lu Bu made Yan's body soften, she still said duplicity: "I still have to look after the children.
"I haven't made out with my wife for more than a year, today is absurd." Lu Bu went to the bedroom without any explanation.
Night fell.
When it was time for dinner, all the girls and children were waiting at the dining table, but Lu Bu and Yan Shi were not seen.
After waiting for a while, Yan finally arrived late.
Seeing Yan's ruddy complexion and spring-like eyebrows, the girls all laughed lowly.
Yan Shi pretended to be calm, and said: "My husband has gone to rest, so he won't eat with us anymore, let's eat by ourselves."
After dinner, the children all went back to rest, and then Yan said: "Zhen'er, my husband asked you to go to bed.
"...Yeah." Mi Zhen agreed in a low voice with a blushing face.
The rest of the girls laughed and booed, and Zhen Mi laughed the loudest.
"Xiao Mi'er, don't laugh at her. My husband even told you to go and observe it. You won't be able to run away tonight." Yan couldn't help laughing.
Zhen Mi, who was proud of herself, immediately collapsed when she heard the words, Mi Zhen seemed to have the upper hand again, and dragged Zhen Mi to the bedroom with her. .
