State Shepherd's Mansion, in the hall.

Zhang Zhao and Xu Shu were still waiting, with serious expressions on their faces.

Zhang Zhao said solemnly: "Xu Shangshu, the appearance of the white deer in Shu County is a great event in Yangzhou. In my opinion, this matter must be widely publicized so that people all over the world know about the benevolent government of the lord. In addition, the appearance of auspiciousness also proves

My lord has a destiny. In my opinion, you can go further south and become king."

Xu Shu frowned slightly.

The south is king.

This thing is obviously inappropriate, at least now, absolutely inappropriate.

He smiled slightly and said: "It is up to the lord to decide on auspicious matters."

He made no statement.

Although Xu Shu was younger and had a lower position than Zhang Zhao, he was more cautious. When it came to auspiciousness, even trying to persuade him to advance was too hasty and rash.

Xu Shu glanced at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao's recent behavior was a bit abnormal, not like Zhang Zhao's behavior. He thought of the rumors he had heard that Zhang Zhao had a close relationship with the wealthy families in Yangzhou.

Perhaps this is due to the interests of Yangzhou's wealthy families.

Once Lu Xuan adopts Zhang Zhao's auspiciousness, it means that the person who contributes the auspiciousness will benefit, and the wealthy people in Yangzhou will naturally benefit.

After Xu Shu thought it through in his mind, he made up his mind to draw a clear line with Zhang Zhao and not to get involved.

This is not a good thing.

When Zhang Zhao saw Xu Shu not answering, he frowned and said nothing more. He stroked his beard under his chin and said: "After waiting for such a long time, why don't you receive me, my lord? There is no one in the house."

, Master, what are you doing today?"

Xu Shu glanced at Zhang Zhao again but said nothing.

Zhang Zhao's words were a bit off.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps. Lu Xun entered the hall and saluted: "Zhang Shangshu, Xu Shangshu, please follow me."

Zhang Zhao and Xu Shu got up and went to the study.

When they saw Lu Xuan, they both saluted.

Lu Xuan's face was calm and unfazed, and he asked: "Zibu, Yuanzhi, you guys come together, what's the matter?"

Xu Shu respectfully reported: "My lord, Zhu Wen, the magistrate of Shu County, found a white deer in Shu County and reported the matter to Cao Li. I told Zhang Shangshu, who proposed to ask my lord to make a decision."

"

Zhang Zhao took the words and said: "My lord, the white deer appears in Shu County. This is auspiciousness given by God, and it is also God's praise to my lord. It is God's recognition of my lord. From this point of view, my lord..."

"Wait a minute!"

Lu Xuan interrupted directly.

He looked at Zhang Zhao in front of him and said directly: "As for the auspiciousness, let's wait until the other people arrive."

Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment, feeling hesitant for a moment.

He just said Xiangrui, and Lu Xuan said that he would wait until the others arrived to tell him. Could it be that Lu Xuan already knew?

Zhang Zhao was unsure of Lu Xuan's attitude for a moment.

It stands to reason that auspicious signs like the white deer are attractive to anyone. Especially Lu Xuan, who is young and wants to make great achievements, and the auspicious signs are the evidence of great achievements.

Zhang Zhao felt something was wrong.

However, Zhang Zhao represents the interests of the powerful families in Yangzhou, and he has reached a consensus with the Cao family, Peng family, Chen family and other large families. On the one hand, he needs to use auspiciousness to enhance his own influence. On the other hand, he also needs to use auspiciousness to enhance his own influence.

Auspicious, unite more people from big families.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps, and everyone including Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Yan Xiang, Mi Fang and others entered together.

Zhang Zhao saw that everyone had arrived, and Zhou Yu was also here as a military representative. His hand stroking his beard tightened slightly, and he immediately regained his composure.

Many people present were from wealthy families in Yangzhou.

No one may object to his starting point. What's more, Lu Xuan has gone a step further, which is also beneficial to many people.

After everyone saluted, everyone sat down individually, with a somewhat confused expression on their faces. Normally everyone performs their duties, and it is rare to gather like this. Even for several foreign expeditions, not all of them were present.

.

This time, everyone came, which shows the importance of the matter.

Lu Xuan said directly: "Zhang Zhao, tell me what you discovered."

Zhang Zhao stood up, bowed and saluted Lu Xuan, and said, "Everyone, what we are going to talk about today is Zhu Wen, the magistrate of Shu County, who reported that a white deer was found in Shu County."

"I think the appearance of the white deer is a reminder to the lord. The lord is now only the head of a state, and is obviously unworthy of his virtue. Therefore, I humbly request the lord to take another step forward and become king in the south."

Wow!!

Everyone in the study room was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao would suggest that Lu Xuan become king. This sudden suggestion shocked everyone present.

Lu Xuan did not respond to Zhang Zhao's statement. He looked at the others and asked: "Can you tell us your opinions about Xiangrui?"

"My lord, I despise my position and object."

Lu Su spoke directly.

He stood up, with a serious face, and said loudly: "My lord, Zhang Zhao's persuasion is not to help my lord. He is bewitching my lord, and he is harming my lord. Dong Zhuo is so tyrannical that he directly deposed the emperor without even proclaiming himself king."

"Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third prince, which monopolized the north. Even Yuan Shao had the ambition to establish another emperor. However, Yuan Shao never proclaimed himself king or emperor."

"Why did Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao not choose to be kings? It's because there was no precedent for kings with different surnames in the Han Dynasty."

"Back then, Emperor Gaozu established the White Horse Alliance, and no one other than the Liu family could be king."

"If my lord becomes king, it will break the previous agreement, and the eyes of the world will gather on my lord. At that time, Liu Biao from Jingzhou in the west will no longer coexist peacefully with my lord, and will definitely draw a clear line with him.

"

"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will both be hostile to the lord."

"Even within the lord, there will be divisions, and they will further attack the lord. In addition, in the newly established Five Classics Museum, all the famous Confucian scholars in it will express their stance because of the lord's position. Maybe many people will leave directly."

Lu Su stared at Zhang Zhao with an unprecedented coldness in his eyes, and said loudly: "Zhang Zhao's bewildering remarks are not helping the lord, but harming the lord. Please kill Zhang Zhao to set the record straight."

The atmosphere in the study room was tense instantly.

When Lu Xuan saw this scene, he laughed in his heart. Zhang Zhao raised the auspiciousness, and he wanted to use this to see the attitude of his subordinates.

Lu Su is very good.

Still awake.

Lu Su's consideration is the key.

As a wise man, would Zhang Zhao fail to consider these trade-offs and issues?

Won't!

Zhang Zhao must have seen clearly.

It's just that behind Zhang Zhao, a group of powerful families have gathered. So Zhang Zhao has the fetters of interests, so he must consider the interests of this group of people. So Zhang Zhaoming knew there was a problem, and he also said some words to persuade him to join.

.

Of course, Zhang Zhao may also bet that Lu Xuan is strong and it will be different after he becomes the queen.

Lu Xuan's heart was like a mirror, and he had more ideas in his mind. He took this opportunity to beat and deal with Zhang Zhao, and at the same time rectify the thoughts of his subordinates.

Unify thoughts.

Clean up the interior.

When we are not fighting external battles, this is an opportunity to lay a solid foundation and stabilize our internal affairs.

Lu Xuan did not express his position on Lu Su's words, nor did he deal with Zhang Zhao. He asked again: "Everyone else, tell me, what do you think?"

Zhou Yu stood up, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, I am humbled by my position and oppose it. Zhang Zhao's persuasion is simply ridiculous. If my lord wants to become the king, he must first completely control Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and then seize more places, step by step with solid strength."

Be king."

"I have never heard of such a principle as relying on auspiciousness to become a king and humble one."

"I believe that when my lord's strength can crush Cao Cao and even easily wipe out Yuan Shao, then I will consider becoming king, or even consider more. If I think about becoming king now, it will be a fool's errand to win the crown."

Zhou Yu bowed and said, "My lord, please think twice."

"My lord, even though I hold such a humble position, I am opposed to being king."

Pang Tong also stood up and said: "Zhu Wen, the magistrate of Shu County, does not think about governing the place, but relies on flattery to get the attention of the lord. Such a flattering villain should be killed. Please kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and completely stop doing this."

A flattering person."

Lu Xuan saw this and became more and more satisfied. Lu Su, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong all opposed it without exception.

These are his core people.
