Xuzhou.

Pengcheng.

Government Hall.

Tao Qian dragged his tired body slowly up to the hall.

His deep sunken eyes swept over the crowd, and he said slowly:"Are they all here?"

Beside him, the pottery merchant said softly:"Well, they are all here."

"Ahem~~"

Tao Qian coughed twice, exhaled a long breath, and then calmed down:"Everyone, I, Tao Qian, am seventy-three this year, and my body is getting weaker and weaker. I am afraid that I will die soon."

"I have called you here today for only one thing!"

"Ahem! Ahem!"

There were two more violent coughs.

Tao Qian paused for a long time, barely managed to steady himself, and continued:"I hope you can all speak freely. Next, who should Xuzhou be handed over to ensure that the people are healthy and not disturbed by the flames of war!"

At this moment!

A person appeared in the palace.

Everyone looked at him and it was Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling.

Zhao Yu blurted out without thinking:"Do you still need to ask? Naturally, Tao Shang should succeed you. He is your eldest son. Besides, he has been with you for many years and the people of Xuzhou have great trust in him."

"I think! Zhao

Yu turned to look at the ministers in the palace:"Everyone will agree, right?""

Quiet!

Quiet!

The hall is deathly silent, there is no sound, you can hear a needle drop.

Zhao Yu's face is full of embarrassment in bold letters!

He didn't expect that the whole place was so cold.

Chen Gui didn't move!

Mi Zhu didn't move either!

As for The rest of the people will not move.

They are all headed by Chen Gui and Mi Zhu. If these two people don't express their stance, they will never express their stance.

Mi Zhu's eyes have been falling on Chen Gui.

At this moment.

Chen Gui does not express his stance. For Mi Zhu, it was equivalent to expressing his position.

He did not agree with Tao Shang's succession, whether it was because of Tao Shang's lack of ability or because of Han Yi.

In short!

He did not agree!

"you......"

Zhao Yu was so angry that he opened his mouth to curse.

But before he could speak, he was interrupted by a pottery merchant on the side:"Father!" The pottery merchant took a step forward, knelt in front of Tao Qian, and said very sincerely:"Father, you should know what my son is capable of. It's definitely not what Governor Zhao said, so don't force me."

Tao Qian frowned:"Shang'er!"

Zhao Yu was even more stunned:"Master, you......"

At this moment, Chen Gui took a step forward, bowed and cupped his hands and said:"My lord, Xuzhou is the heart of the Central Plains, a place of four wars. If there is no suitable person to inherit it, there will definitely be trouble!"

"I think so!"

"In the whole world, no one can guarantee the comfort of the people of Xuzhou except Yanzhou Mu Han Yi. If you really want to choose a leader for Xuzhou, you might as well consider Yanzhou Mu Han Yi!"

Chen Gui is indeed interested in Han Yi.

Hearing this, Mi Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Gui is the largest family in Xuzhou. Due to its long-term business operations, it is very prestigious in Xuzhou. The nobles and powerful people from all over Xuzhou have also received favors from the Chen family. , willing to obey his orders.

At that time, if Tao Qian had not made a promise to protect the interests of the Chen family in Xuzhou, he would not even be able to sit as the governor of Xuzhou.

Although the two were each other's servants.

But......

Tao Qian could do nothing to Chen Gui, and even had to look at his expression.

Now that Chen Gui has expressed his stance, Mi Zhu cannot lag behind.

He believes it!

How did you perform today?

It will definitely reach Han Yi's ears as soon as possible.

Mi Zhu will naturally accept this letter of submission.

"Lord!"

At that moment, Mi Zhu stepped out, bowed his hands and said:"I think that Xuzhou must have great wisdom and courage. Although the young master is equipped with both civil and military skills, there is still a gap between him and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Han Yi and others."

"Moreover, now that Cao Cao has coveted Xuzhou for a long time, you still need Han Yi's power to protect the people of Xuzhou, let alone the young master?"

"Instead of doing this, it is better to hand over Xuzhou directly to Han Yi! Mi

Zhu did not hide anything, and directly pulled out Han Yi and said loudly:"I think that this is the only way to truly protect the interests of the people of Xuzhou. I hope my lord will learn from it!""

As soon as he finished speaking,

Chen Gui turned around and glanced.

Mi Zhu stood up just in time and looked at each other.

Although there were no words, everyone knew it well.

At that moment, Xuzhou civil and military officials all stepped forward, cupped their fists and cupped their hands and said:

"I second the motion!"

"The minister also seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded the proposal!"

"......"

Zhao Yu glared and glanced at everyone with anger.

"you!"

"You actually......"

"it turns out......How dare......"

"The rebellious ministers and traitors are all rebellious ministers and traitors! Chen

Gui glanced at Zhao Yu and retorted coldly:"Do you want to sit back and watch the people of Xuzhou being slaughtered by Cao's thieves?" Doesn't this make him a traitor?"

"Zhao Yu!"

"Where do you put the people of Xuzhou?"

The civil and military officials immediately became excited and criticized with words and writings:

"The lord has said that he must choose a person who can protect the people of Xuzhou. You are putting the people of Xuzhou in danger!"

"Han Yi's reputation for benevolence and righteousness spreads far and wide, and is well-known throughout the country. Don't you want the people of Xuzhou to live like the people of Mount Tai, but you want them to suffer from the flames of war?"

"Zhao Yu, you are so cruel!"

"You are a distinguished scholar, but why do you not have the people of Xuzhou in your heart?"

"I am ashamed to be in the company of people like you!"

"......"

Zhao Yu was so angry that he squinted his eyes and opened his mouth to curse:"Why do you think Mr. Tao can't resist Cao's thieves? We in Xuzhou have a hundred thousand soldiers. As long as we unite sincerely, we can't stop Cao's thieves!""

"......"

Both sides chattered and cursed endlessly.

Tao Qian banged the table angrily and roared:"That's enough!"

His voice was loud, like thunder.

Suddenly!

The whole hall was solemn.

Quietly, only Tao Qian's angry eyes were left, scanning the palace!

"Although I, Tao Qian, am seventy-three, I am not dead yet! Tao

Qian shouted angrily, swept through the crowd, took a long breath, and tried to calm down:"You are all thinking about the people of Xuzhou. As for who should inherit Xuzhou, we can discuss it later.""

"today!"

"Let’s stop here!"

Tao Qian waved his hand, leaned on his crutches, and stood up slowly.

Tao Shang hurriedly stepped forward to help him and followed him to the inner house.

"Father, I'm sorry."

Tao Shang blurted out timidly.

What was shocking was that

Tao Qian was not angry. He seemed to have expected his son's reaction.

"father, you......"

The potter raised his head and looked at his father

"Son! Tao

Qian exhaled a breath:"Dad is old and may die soon. I have always wanted to properly arrange for you and your brother. Xuzhou is a hot potato and you can't defend it!""

"My father didn't know this.

At this point, Tao Qian paused and said softly:"This is the last thing my father can do for Xuzhou. My son, please spread the news that my father is seriously ill as soon as possible.""

"Father, you are......"

The potter frowned and expressed confusion.

"Want Xuzhou? Tao

Qian's eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent:"At least we have to fight. Whoever wins will belong to Xuzhou. This is the most fair!""
