In the room, Liu Jing handed Cao Cao's handwritten letter to Jia Xu, "The military advisor first check it out, and then let's talk."

Jia Xu recognized Cao Cao's handwriting at a glance. He was immediately excited and sat upright. He opened the letter and looked carefully. His brows also frowned slightly, but when he saw that the third son Cao Zhi arrived, he seemed to think of something and couldn't help but laugh again.

Jia Xu returned the letter to Liu Jing and smiled and said, "This is Prime Minister Cao's usual style. The letter only talks about friendship. The main matter should be discussed by Cao Zhi. But I am a little surprised that Prime Minister Cao Cao actually asked Cao Zhi to go to Jingzhou."

"Is there anything special about this?" Liu Jing asked with a smile.

Jia Xu nodded, "If he sent a confidant adviser, there would be no problem at all, but this is the first time he sent his son as an envoy. Of course, maybe he wanted his son to hone his skills, but I think Prime Minister Cao seemed to want Cao Zhi to dominate the affairs of Jingzhou."

"He's going to dominate?"

Liu Jing couldn't help but sneer, "I think he is only twenty years old. Can he dominate the affairs of Jingzhou for his father? Be careful not to ruin big things."

"Don't worry, lord! Prime Minister Cao knew that he would not let his son have any bad things. I think he should have explained everything. Maybe next time there will be important officials to support him."

Liu Jing thought about it and suddenly understood, "What the military advisor means is that Cao Cao wants Cao Zhi to inherit his mantle?"

Jia Xu shook his head quickly, "There is nothing to do, it should be Cao Pi, but Prime Minister Cao may also consider letting Cao Zhi inherit it. As far as I know, he loves this third son very much, and often tells people that Cao Zhi looks the most like him. More importantly, some things Cao Pi has not handled well, which makes Prime Minister Cao very disgusted and affects his inheritance."

"What's the matter?"

"The most serious thing is that Cao Pi took advantage of the chaos to accept Zhen's family. Eight months later, Zhen's family gave birth to a son. Do you think this child is Yuan or Cao's family? Although Prime Minister Cao didn't say anything at that time, we all know that Cao Cheng was quite dissatisfied with his son's lust."

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, "Cao Cao is also a lustful person. If he is not upright, how could he blame his son for being in a wrong place?"

Although Jia Xu surrendered to Liu Jing and loyally assisted Liu Jing, deep down he always felt a little guilty towards Cao Cao. For example, he never called Cao Cao directly, but called Prime Minister Cao. This is why.

Jia Xu shook his head, "This actually has nothing to do with lust, but it has to do with the prolonged child. It would be fine if Zhen was unmarried, but she was Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law. Cao Pi married her without his father's consent and without the medical officer's examination. How could Prime Minister Cao not be angry?"

Liu Jing smiled and asked again, "What's the second?"

"There is also the death of Zhang Xiu. Cao Pi took advantage of his father's western expedition to force Zhang Xiu to death. Although I don't know what happened later, I know one thing very well. Cao Pi forced Zhang Xiu to death without his father's consent. This would inevitably make Prime Minister Cao angry and had a bad impact. More importantly, the revival of the Yuan family's remnants was also due to Cao Pi's improper handling, which affected the decisive battle of Chibi. It was precisely because of these things that Prime Minister Cao had the idea of ​​letting Cao Zhi inherit his mantle."

Liu Jing nodded, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about the serious matter! What does the military advisor think Cao Zhi is here?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "If I was not wrong, Prime Minister Cao wanted to negotiate with his lord!"

“What are you negotiating?”

"I probably want us to give up Guanzhong. Frankly speaking, our Guanzhong strategy made him unable to sleep on the pillow, but he was powerless to stop him, so I could only come and ask my lord not to go north again."

Liu Jing couldn't help but laugh, "Can such a thing be solved by asking for help?"

"That's why he sent his son to negotiate!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I think Prime Minister Cao will make a big concession. If the lord is interested, he can speak loudly. As long as he can do it, he will agree, and even the lord can ask for the title of king."

At this time, Liu Jing suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Does the military advisor know a eunuch named Mi? It is said that this person is Liu Xie's confidant eunuch."

Jia Xu showed a hint of contempt on his face, "Just just a traitor of breaking his sleeves, what do you mean by mentioning him?"

"He is here too. In fact, he has been here at the beginning of the year. Last time he was supervising the sacrificial ceremony and passing on the oral message from Liu Xie for me. This time he was sent by Liu Xie to enthrone me."

Jia Xu was extremely experienced and immediately understood what Liu Jing meant, "My lord is this person, is this poisonous snake that Cao Cao placed next to Liu Xie?"

Liu Jing nodded, "It would be strange if it wasn't."

Jia Xu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before slowly saying to Liu Jing: "Since that's the case, it's better to see this eunuch Mi first and then Cao Zhi again."

In the afternoon, the eunuch Mi Ying read the imperial edict to Liu Jing in the prefecture yard, and appointed Liu Jing as Duke of Chu, and was appointed General of Cavalry. At the same time, Liu Jing's wife Tao was appointed Lady of Jing State, and his second wife Sun was appointed Lady of Wu State, and Liu Jing's eldest son Liu Zhi was appointed Marquis of Ting, and was appointed Captain of Zhenwu.

As expected, Liu Jing did not mention Yizhou or Hanzhong in the decree. Liu Jing sneered in his heart and kowtowed to thank him. The eunuch Mi gave the imperial edict to Liu Jing, and then said to Liu Jing in a low voice: "I have a few confidential words, and I want to tell the governor of the state."

Liu Jing knew that he wanted to tell Liu Xie's words, but when he thought of Jia Xu's evaluation of him, he felt disgusted. He held back his displeasure and said, "Please give me a cup of tea in my official room." Mi Eunuch happily entered the official room with Liu Jing. He sat down and looked at Liu Jing affectionately, which made Liu Jing's back numb, and said to several personal soldiers: "You retreat first!"

The personal soldiers retreated, Liu Jing took a sip of tea and said coldly: "Dear Father-in-law, just say anything confidential!"

"When the old slave left, the emperor asked me to tell the governor of the state, 'Since you have occupied Jingshu, why don't you promote the royal army to enter the Central Plains and save the Han country? Do you have any other intentions?'"

The voice of Eunuch Mi was very sharp. He imitated Liu Xie's voice, with a gloomy aura, and his tone was full of resentment, just like a resentful woman from the deep palace who had been widowed for many years, who had been resentful from her bones.

Liu Jing lowered his face and said nothing. His heart was full of disdain. He could imagine that when Liu Xie said this, his eyes were filled with jealousy and dissatisfaction with him. A person who had been suppressed for a long time must be distorted. Such a person could not convince him by normal means.

After a while, Liu Jing said lightly: "Eunuch Mi, let's make a deal!"

The eunuch Mi suddenly had a flattering smile on his face, "Prince of the State, please say, the old slave is willing to make a deal with the State,"

Liu Jing suddenly stared at him coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if it was penetrated into a person's heart. Eunuch Mi was so scared that his heart trembled, and his two trembling trembled. Only Liu Jing's cold voice heard in his ears, "How should I reply to the emperor, tell me, as a condition, I can pretend not to know that you have an affair with Cao Cao..."

Liu Jing pulled out his sword, pressed it against his neck, and whispered: "

If you dare to attack me twice, I will let you die!”

Eunuch Mi was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. His crotch became wet and even his urine was incontinent. Liu Jing didn't want to look at him again, so he put his sword in his order and said, "Come!"

Several personal soldiers walked in quickly, and Liu Jing pointed at the eunuch Mi, "Eunuch Mi is sick, so take him to the VIP hotel to rest!"

When the eunuch Mi went to the prefecture to announce the imperial edict, Cao Zhi did not follow him. On the one hand, he also hated this eunuch who was neither male nor female. On the other hand, his arrogance in his bones also made him not want to meet Liu Jing so soon.

In the room, Cao Zhi was drinking and playing the piano, singing and singing. At this time, a strange sound appeared in his piano and stopped suddenly. Cao Zhi asked coldly: "What's the matter?"

The nervous voice of the museum chief came from the yard, "Mr. Cao, the governor of my family is here."

"Oh! I get it."

Cao Zhi agreed casually, and he tuned it again, but Liu Jing's laughter came from the yard, "Young Master Zhi wants to be Boya, but unfortunately I am not Ziqi."

Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment. He got up and walked to the window. He saw Liu Jing wearing a lilac linen robe and a flat scarf on his head. He looked at him with a smile with his hands behind his back. Cao Zhi's face was a little hot. Although he was a noble person, he also knew the courtesy of hospitality. He did not expect that Liu Jing would surrender to the nobles and come to visit him in person. This moved him and greatly satisfied his vanity.

He quickly bowed and said, "Zi Jian is rude, please come in and sit down!"

He hurriedly put away the piano and wine cup, tidy up his clothes, and went forward to open the door. Liu Jing walked in with a smile, "Come on uninvited, please forgive me, Mr. Zhi!"

"I am rude, please sit down!"

Liu Jing was not polite and sat down facing east, and Cao Zhi also sat down. At this time, the Guancheng presented two cups of tea, Liu Jing nodded, "Get back!"

He took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it to Cao Zhi, "This is my reply to Ling Zun. I hope the young master will convey it to me."

"Sure! Sure!"

Cao Zhi put away the letter and bowed his head and said with a smile: "First congratulations to the governor of the state for being the Duke of Chu and the General of the Cavalry. This is second only to the general and has a position of three dukes, which shows the emperor's importance to the governor of the state."

Liu Jing shook his head, "It's a pity that there is nothing I want here. I want the governor of Yizhou, and Ling Zun didn't give it to me."

Cao Zhi didn't expect Liu Jing to be so frank, and he suddenly got into the topic. After all, he lacked experience and didn't know how to go around the circle to test Liu Jing's bottom line, and he didn't know that he could ask for a price all over the place and then slowly pay back the money with Liu Jing.

He pondered for a moment and said, "My father said that if the provincial governor wants to serve as the governor of Yizhou, it is OK if he wants to be the king. As long as the provincial governor agrees to something, the provincial governor will make a request for official title."

"What the hell is it?" Liu Jing asked pretending to be puzzled.

Cao Zhi hesitated. He didn't know if he should say it like that, but Liu Jing smiled and said, "If Mr. Zhi feels embarrassed, then I won't ask. I may set off to Yizhou tomorrow or the next day, so I'll say goodbye to Mr. Zhi!"

Liu Jing bowed his hand with his fists and was about to get up, Cao Zhi hurriedly said, "Please sit down and listen to me."

Liu Jing looked at him with a smile, "Please say, Mr. Liu Jing listen with stern!"

Cao Zhi sighed and said, "Can the governor of the state know the nine tins, one is chariot and horse, two is clothes, three is musical instrument, four is red house, five is Nabi, six is ​​a hundred tigers and bens, seven is axes and halberds, eight is bows and arrows, nine is hulu, the most noble, if the governor of the state agrees to this matter, his father can even ask for an order to add nine tins to the governor of the state!"

Liu Jing laughed, "Even the order of the emperor dared not talk about adding Jiuxi. Liu Jing's official position is low, so how dare he have such a sense of usurpation? Jiuxi will be exempted, and he will be exempted from being a king. The governor of Yizhou can consider it. Please tell me!"

"Okay! Then I'll just say it."

Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "My father hopes that the provincial governor will not go north to Guanzhong for five years, and all the conditions for the provincial governor can be raised."

Liu Jing was really disappointed. Even a talented and stubborn person like Cao Cao actually put forward such unrealistic conditions. What other conditions can he have to agree to him? Jiuxi, the king's title, or the emperor's position. The question is.

．

．

Could you agree?

Liu Jing was silent for a moment and said in a sarcastic tone: "Since any conditions can be raised, I will propose the conditions. Please tell Ling Zun that if he is willing to retire and return home, I am willing to take over as prime minister and share the hard work of the world for him. How about? Will Ling Zun consider it?"

Cao Zhi was stunned. He didn't know how to answer. He was angry and panicked in his heart, and his face was flushed.
