When Liu Chan woke up again, it was already early the next morning, and the sky was already bright.

Li Wan on the pillow was gone.

Liu Chan sat up from the bed, and suddenly saw a hole in the center of the messy sheets on the bed, which looked like it should have been cut by scissors.

Liu Chan knew that it was cut by Li Wan, and the cut sheets were to be taken to Mrs. Gan. so that she could check Li Wan's teaching results last night, and at the same time prove that Li Wan is innocent.

Suddenly, Liu Chan heard footsteps outside the door, and saw Li Wan walking up with a basin one by one, followed by two maids.

Liu Chan frowned and said, "You don't have to do these things in the future." ”

Li Wan listened to Liu Chan's words, her heart was full of sweetness, and she said with a smile: "Shizi, Madam has restored the status of my family as a commoner, from now on, I will take care of Shizi's daily life, if you don't let me do this, do you still want me to go home." ”

Li Wan's original identity was Shengkou, that is, a slave, but now that she has a relationship with Liu Chan, Mrs. Gan has restored Li Wan's status as a commoner.

Originally, according to Liu Chan's idea, he naturally wanted to take Li Wan as a concubine.

However, Li Wan's status is too low, and Mrs. Gan also took this into consideration, so she made her own decisions and let Li Wan take care of Liu Chan's daily life, and if she became pregnant in the future, she could take her as a concubine.

Since Mrs. Gan had already arranged it like this, Liu Chan couldn't interfere more.

Liu Chan explained: "Of course I didn't mean that, since my mother has arranged it like this, I can't say much as a son." But don't worry, when you become pregnant, I will take you as a concubine. ”

"Hmm!" Li Wan nodded with a smile, put the basin on the shelf and said, "Shizi, get up and wash up." ”

More than 20 days passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Liu Chan married Sun Shangxiang.

In the past 20 days, Li Wan has come to teach Liu Chan every five days, and Liu Chan, an apprentice, is better than the blue, and every time he kills Li Wan, the master, he loses his armor.

And on Sun Shangxiang's side, someone actually taught her during this time.

Of course, it was not actual combat training like Liu Chan and Li Wan, but Mrs. Wu also sent some experienced women to teach Sun Shangxiang theoretical knowledge.

No matter how domineering Sun Shangxiang said when he was in Xiakou, but the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, three obedience and four virtues has been deeply rooted. On the night of the cave room, he still obediently called Liu Lichan his husband, and Liu Chan officially took Sun Shangxiang down.

In the next two months, Liu Chan married Guan Feng and Shui Luoyi one after another.

Since Liu Chan has already married three this year, Zhang Fei's daughter Zhang Xingcai and Wu Xun, the daughter of the Wu family, need to wait until next year to marry.

However, due to Liu Chan's young age, Mrs. Gan and Liu Bei were afraid that Liu Chan would empty his body for beauty, but they separated Liu Chan from the daughters, and only allowed them to accompany Liu Chan once every few days.

Fast forward to December 220 A.D.

In the past few months, Hua Xin and other ministers have twice persecuted Liu Xiechan, the son of the Han Dynasty, to be located in Cao Pi.

After three requests and three resignations, Cao Pi finally agreed for the third time and agreed to accept Liu Xie's Zen position.

In the months from Cao Cao's death and Cao Pi's succession to the throne of Wei to his official acceptance of the Chan throne.

Cao Pi accepted Chen Qun's suggestion and set up the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, winning the support of the Xia Shi clan, and at the same time successively quelling rebellions in various places.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Cao Pi officially ascended the throne as emperor on December 10, 220 AD, changed the name of the country to Wei, and set the capital Luoyang, and Liu Xie, the original son of the Han Dynasty, was named the Duke of Shanyang.

After Cao Pi established the Wei state, he monopolized power and restricted the rights of eunuchs and relatives.

Decrees such as "those whose eunuchs are officials are not allowed to pass the decrees", "the ministers are not allowed to serve the empress dowager, and the descendants of the family are not allowed to serve as auxiliary politicians, and they are not allowed to accept the lords of the soil", etc., to ensure that the Wei State has never caused a political crisis due to the interference of eunuchs and foreign relatives.

At the same time, Cao Pi also stripped the power of the vassal king, and the fiefdom of the vassal king of Wei was often changed, and he had no governing power and military power, and his actions were strictly monitored, and he was like a prison sentence.

Cao Cao's last words, ordered Cao Pi not to harm his brothers, but also to reuse Cao Zhang, although Cao Pi did not harm Cao Zhang, but cut Cao Zhang's military power, sent to the fief to be closely monitored.

Although this policy learned the lessons of the rebellion of the Han Dynasty's vassal states, it left hidden dangers, resulting in the weakness of the clan relatives and their inability to prevent foreign ministers from seizing power in the future.

When Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Rebellion, because the clan was too weak, although the clan had the intention to restore the Cao family, it was powerless.

It is worth mentioning that the Sima family later learned the lessons of the Cao family, and after Sima Yan became emperor, he wantonly divided the feuds and gave considerable rights to the clan, which eventually led to the rebellion of the eight kings, so that the Central Plains was in civil strife, and Zhuhu entered China.

Then there was the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, who was in a yellow robe, afraid that future generations would follow suit, so he weakened the rights of the generals, so that the status of the two Song Dynasty warriors was low, and they had been oppressed by foreign clans for hundreds of years.

It is good to learn a lesson, but if you overdo it and overdo it, it will lead to greater disasters.

By mid-January 221 AD, the news of Cao Pi's proclamation as emperor reached Yizhou.

Chengdu Palace.

Liu Bei sat in the first place, and Liu Chan sat beside him.

On the left below, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Fa Zheng, Huang Quan, Li Yan, Liu Ba, Dong He and other ministers stood in front and back.

On the right stood generals such as Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, and Lin Xiao.

Zhuge Liang came out with his hand and said with a sad face: "Lord, Cao Pi forced the world to take the throne on December 10 last year, established the Wei State, and set the capital Luoyang. ”

Liu Xie naturally did not die, he was named the Duke of Shanyang by Cao Pi, Cao Pi has ordered people to tell the world, Liu Xie is now a doctor in Feng, treating diseases and saving people, and his life is much more comfortable than being an emperor.

But if Liu Bei wants to ascend to the throne as emperor, Liu Xie must "die".

Liu Bei has always taken benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of his life, crusading against Cao Cao, and has always been in the name of bloody clothes. Even if Liu Xie is no longer the emperor, Liu Bei is a loyal minister, and Liu Xie, the emperor Liu Bei, must be recognized, so Liu Xie's existence has become the biggest obstacle to Liu Bei's ascension to the throne.

It was definitely impossible to kill Liu Xie, so Zhuge Liang sent someone to spread the news of Liu Xie's murder, Liu Xie was "dead", and Liu Bei could ascend to the throne logically.

Some people say that why don't you want to take Liu Xie to Chengdu and continue to use Liu Xie? Either let Liu Xiechan give in once, so it is more justifiable.

It's impossible.

First, today's Liu Xie has no role at all, and the period when Liu Xie used the most was the period of warlord melee, and in the twenty years from 190 to 210, Liu Xie's role was very great.

After 210, the power of the Three Kingdoms gradually took shape, and Liu Xie's role was minimal.

Second, bringing Liu Xie to Chengdu not only has no effect, but has great constraints.

Now that Liu Bei's foundation has been completed, all he needs is to take the last step and take Liu Xie over, but it restricts Liu Bei.

Because in the hearts of the people of the world, Liu Bei is a loyal minister, if Liu Xie arrives in Chengdu, can't he return to Liu Xie? If he doesn't return to power, he will be no different from Cao Cao.

And now that the Three Kingdoms have been formed, the people of the world no longer know the Han Dynasty, and Cao Pi is even more emperor, at this time, no one will listen to Liu Xie.

As for Liu Bei's founding of the country, there is no need for Liu Xie to ask.

Because Liu Xie is already in the Zen position, from a legal point of view, Liu Xie is no longer the emperor.

It's like when Dong Zhuo abolished Liu Wei and established Liu Xie, Liu Xie's throne was established by the powerful minister Dong Zhuoli, why would those loyal ministers of the Han family still recognize Liu Xie's throne? Because Liu Xie's throne is reasonable and legitimate, and it was obtained through proper procedures.

It's like a married couple, you can do anything, even if a man is strong, it is at most a domestic violence, if you are divorced, it is a crime.

If you are divorced, you are not husband and wife, and in the same way, after going through the formal formalities of Zen throne, you are no longer the emperor. If Liu Bei takes Liu Xie to Yizhou and asks Liu Xiexan to give it up once, then the legitimacy is not as good as establishing a country by himself.

At present, Liu Bei doesn't need Liu Xie at all, Liu Xie is here, but it has become his constraint, so after the news of Cao Pi's proclamation as emperor came out, Zhuge Liang sent people to spread the news of Liu Xie's murder, so that Liu Bei could naturally ascend to the throne.
