At this moment, there were only two people left in the room, Liu Biao and Liu Qi, Liu Biao leaned on the couch, held Liu Qi's hand tightly, and said seriously: "Qi'er, my father is already old, from now on, Jingzhou will be handed over to you." The Cai party has been basically cleared, as for those remnant parties, many of them tend to be inflammatory, and they have all been officials under my subordinates for many years, if there are no major mistakes, if you can spare their lives, spare their lives. ”

"Father, isn't there a saying that is very good, it is called cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. If we don't take this opportunity to uproot all the Cai clan's henchmen, maybe it won't be long before they will resurrect, and then they are likely to become a scourge for our Jingzhou again. Liu Qi made up his mind this time, because he knew that Cai Mao not only wanted to kill himself, but also his father, which was really a heinous crime, and even a thousand cuts were not enough to calm Liu Qi's hatred.

Moreover, over the years, Liu Qi has been persecuted by the Cai family, and this time he finally turned over as a serf and sang, how could he easily let go of this opportunity. He also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to establish his prestige in Jingzhou, so that those who had laughed at him and looked down on him would fight in front of his majesty.

After listening to Liu Qi's answer, Liu Biao did not continue, but sighed lightly and said to Liu Qi: "It's not that I won't let you kill these people, but after killing these people, there will definitely be a lot of vacancies in the officialdom of Jingzhou, and there are not many people under you, what can you use to fill these vacancies?" And if you kill too much, it's not necessarily a good thing. ”

Liu Qi said: "Although the father is relieved, the child has found a solution to the vacancy in the official position. After killing those Cai henchmen. There are enough people to ensure that there are enough people to replace. If there are not enough talents, the children will not touch them. ”

"That's good. In addition, my father will recommend you a few people, they are all talented people in Jingzhou, and they will be of great help to you in the future. Liu Biao said.

Liu Qi said: "Father, please speak, the child listens." ”

Liu Biao said: "The two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue have always been talents that their fathers rely on more, and they are also the big families in Jingzhou. You must reuse these two people, and you must not abandon them because they have had a relationship with Cai Mao. ”

"The child remembers." Liu Qi nodded and said.

Liu Biao continued: "In addition, Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan, is a descendant of the Han family with me, and he also has the blood of the Liu family in his body, so you should call him uncle in terms of seniority." Moreover, under Liu Bei's account, there were fierce generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong, as well as Yi Yuan, Jiang Wan and others to assist. Jing Nan can rest assured that he will be under his jurisdiction. However, there should be no harm to others. Peace of mind is indispensable. After all, Liu Bei is not my own brother, and you can't trust him too much. Cai Mao's incident gave his father a great inspiration, and also made his father no longer dare to trust others easily. So, you too, don't trust anyone easily. In addition, Liu Bei is quite capable militarily, the Jingzhou Navy has become a thing of the past, we must re-establish the Jingzhou Navy Army, and at the same time, strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Mabu Army. You can form the water army yourself, as for the Ma Bu army, you can transfer Liu Bei to Xiangyang, let Liu Bei be the deputy governor, responsible for training the Ma Bu army, Liu Bei's subordinates are all elite soldiers, and they have also fought with Zhang Yan's army, once Zhang Yan's army goes south, Liu Bei may lead the army to resist. ”

After listening to Liu Biao's words, Liu Qi nodded heavily, and then said, "Father, the child knows the truth." ”

After the end, Liu Biao said what he was most worried about, and said to Liu Qi: "There is another thing that is very important, you must keep it in mind." ”

"Father, please." Liu Qi said.

"Your younger brother Liu Cong, although he has the same father as you, and his mother is still Cai, but Cai's has already received the punishment he deserves, and your younger brother Liu Cong is still very young, and he doesn't know many things at all. My father wants you to be kind to your brother in the future, and he will be your only relative in this world except me. When Liu Biao said this, he held Liu Qi's hand very tightly, for fear that after a hundred years, there would be something like novice fratricide.

Liu Qi knew Liu Biao's worries, so he said: "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely not do anything fratricidal, and the child will definitely treat Liu Cong as his own brother." ”

"In this case, the father will be relieved." After Liu Biao heard Liu Qi's words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Cong is only five years old now, he is still a child, and he does not pose any threat to Liu Qi at all, and it is also a sure thing that Liu Qi will inherit Liu Biao's position. It's just that because the Cai party was in the way, Liu Cong would pose a threat to Liu Qi before, but now that the Cai party has basically collapsed, Liu Cong's threat will naturally disappear.

Liu Qi was not a cruel and murderous person, not to mention that Liu Cong was his younger brother, although he was not born to the same mother, but he also had Liu Biao's blood in his body, so Liu Qi naturally would not attack him.

Subsequently, Liu Qi and Liu Biao chatted for a while, and Liu Biao let Liu Qi leave the room.

After Liu Qi came out of Liu Biao's room, he saw Sima Yi waiting aside, so he said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, you come with me to the study, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Sima Yi sighed, didn't say anything, didn't ask anything. Because he knew that if Liu Qi had any undecided ideas, he would definitely look for him. This time, it's no exception.

The two of them came to Liu Qi's study one after another, this study is still where Liu Qi studied when he was a child, and this mansion is also where he often plays. But since Liu Biao married Cai, everything has changed, Cai has become the main mother in this mansion, and Cai often looks at Liu Qi unpleasantly, and after Liu Cong was born, this feeling was even stronger. Even Cai's wants to drive Liu Qi out of the mansion wholeheartedly, no matter where Liu Qi is in the mansion, Cai's eyeliner is always indispensable around him, so it is conceivable whether Liu Qi's life is happy or not.

Later, after Liu Biao held a crown ceremony for Liu Qi, Liu Qi was completely driven out of this house by the Cai family, and from now on, Liu Qi can only meet Liu Biao almost once a year, and the time of each meeting is extremely short. All this left a shadow on Liu Qi's heart, and also left an indelible scar, and completely stimulated Liu Qi's hatred for Cai's family.

Fortunately, Liu Qi finally survived, and now he has returned to this mansion and become the owner here, and for a long time in the future, he will stay here and give orders to officials at all levels in Jingzhou.

When they came to the study, Liu Qi and Sima Yi sat separately, the two of them faced each other, and Liu Qi did not look like he was tall when he was outside, but looked extremely approachable. For Liu Qi, Sima Yi is not only his teacher, but also his friend, and a good brother who talks about everything.

Liu Qi's ass just sat down, without any greetings, and asked directly to the point: "Zhongda, what do you think of Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan, is quite talented, and his subordinates are more Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong, the three fierce generals, in addition, there are also Yi, Jiang Wan, Ma Liang and other talents to give advice and advice. It's just ......"

"Just what?" Liu Qi hurriedly asked.

Sima Yi was extremely smart, and as soon as Liu Qi asked him how Liu Bei was, he could immediately surmise what Liu Biao had said to Liu Qi in Liu Biao's room. Now that Zhang Xiu has surrendered, Cai Mao and others are dead, and Jingzhou has no useful generals, then Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan, has naturally become the preferred target. But in Sima Yi's opinion, Liu Bei is not a person who can be controlled, and he does not recommend Liu Bei. So, he said to Liu Qi: "It's just that Liu Bei is not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, if he is reused, it is very likely that he will become the second Cai Mao." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Qi suddenly looked frightened and hurriedly asked.

"Liu Bei's governor of Jingnan was appointed by the lord, although the lord gave him the power to be the governor of the four counties of Jingnan, but this does not mean that Liu Bei can recruit talents without authorization, as far as I know, Liu Bei's three members of the tent, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's sworn brothers, and they will naturally follow Liu Bei with all their hearts, but the other fierce general Huang Zhong is not Liu Bei's old department, but the subordinates of Liu Pan, the cousin of the eldest prince, Liu Pan was ordered to conquer Changsha Taishou Zhang Xian's rebellion, and as a result, he died on the battlefield, Jingnan needs a commander, Only then did the lord appoint Liu Bei to replace Liu Pan's position and lead the army to quell Zhang Xian's rebellion. In this way, Huang Zhong was subordinate to Liu Bei's subordinates. But after Liu Bei put down the rebellion, instead of letting Huang Zhong return to Jiangling, he forcibly left Huang Zhong in Changsha for his own use. In addition, Liu Bei also recruited a group of young talents, such as Ma Liang, Jiang Wan and others. In addition, Liu Bei even has an inextricable connection with Sun Quan in Jiangdong, which shows that Liu Bei has ill intentions. Sima Yi said.

After Liu Qi heard this, he frowned and asked, "If Liu Bei really has a connection with Sun Quan of Jiangdong, then he must not be able to reuse a person with evil intentions like him." It's just that now Jingzhou lacks talents and has relatively weak military strength, if Liu Bei is not used, who else can be worthy of the big responsibility? ”

Sima Yi smiled and said, "The eldest prince doesn't have to worry about this, I have already selected talents for the eldest prince, as long as the eldest prince agrees, then there is basically no problem." ”

"Oh? Who are they? Liu Qi hurriedly asked. (To be continued......)
