Chapter 263, promotion

Yellow silk, red seals. Together, it is the holy decree of the Wei State.

"Ordered to, both longevity and eternal prosperity. ”

No matter how Sima Zhao looks at these eight words, he can't see enough. The jade seal of the country is the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and it is carved by one of the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period. The eight characters on the jade seal were the handwriting of the then Prime Minister Li Si. This is a testimony of the unification of the Qin State and symbolizes the orthodoxy of the imperial inheritance.

Han Gaozu Liu Bang entered the customs, Ziying offered the seal to surrender, it fell to the Han family Zheng and two hundred years later, Wang Mang usurped the Han self-reliance, so that people asked Wang Zhengjun to pass on the jade seal. Wang Zhengjun threw the jade seal on the pillar, so that it broke a corner, and then made up for it with gold. After the rebellion of green forests and red eyebrows, it fell into the hands of Liu Xiu. Later, Cao Pi became independent on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and the jade seal was passed from the hands of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to the current Emperor of Wei.

And now, it has left its mark on the edict in Sima Zhao's hands. This seal was more important than any previous will he had received. This also means that he is one step closer to the jade seal itself.

Jae Yu stroked his long beard and smiled at this man's joy. I can't empathize, but it's still understandable. What mortals seek in their lives is nothing more than three things, power, wealth, and sex. If you have power, you won't have to worry about having no money, and if you have money, you won't have to worry about having no color. And the highest power is the emperor who is high. The emperor can nominally own everything in the territory under his control, and in the land that can be touched by the sight, the emperor is a well-deserved honor.

It is very unpleasant for a powerful minister to come and salute the emperor. A person who manipulates a doll will not like to salute a doll, and that would make people feel ridiculous. So the first benefit that the ministers sought for themselves was not to enter the court, to go to the palace with a sword, and not to worship the king.

Sima Zhao naturally got these things for himself, so when he just received the edict, he didn't practice any etiquette. The eunuch who pronounced the decree did not dare to find fault with him, unless he didn't have a head. In the same way, when the general received the order, he was too pleased to tell him to go down to such a thing. The eunuch didn't dare to ask, and the longest way to live on an errand in the palace was not to ask, not to ask, and to wait honestly.

"Ahem. Zai Yu coughed twice, and bowed to Sima Zhao: "Congratulations to the general on his promotion to the throne, the king for ten thousand years!"

"Haha, the immortal master doesn't have to be polite. Even if he is crowned king, it is just a secular idle job, and it is not as elegant as an immortal. In the future, I hope that the immortal master will teach more. ”

Zai Yu didn't dare to say anything, and glanced at the eunuch who passed the decree with his eyes. Sima Zhao was stunned at first, and then understood.

said: "Huangmen has worked hard, you might as well go to the side room to rest and eat some snacks." ”

The eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for the king's reward, I am grateful!"

"Haha, go ahead, go to the porter when you go, and get some money!"

Sima Zhao was in a good mood, and everything was really as Zai Yu said, and it didn't take much effort to destroy Shu Han. Destroying the prestige of the country, he also successfully suppressed the voice of domestic opposition, took a step forward, and was named the king of Jin. This is similar to what Cao Cao did back then. The day of Dai Wei is not far away.

"Immortal Master, now that Shu Han has been destroyed, Liu Chan is on his way to Luoyang. Everything is going well, but I still have some uneasiness in my heart, and I hope that the immortal master will solve my doubts. ”

"Oh, why is the king upset?"

"Liu Chan is the bloodline of the Han family, and although Han Zuo is declining, there are still many clusters. And since Liu Bei, it has been decades since Shuzhong was divided, and I am afraid that it will resurge. ”

Zai Yu said with a smile: "The king doesn't need to be like this, I have been watching the weather recently, and the luck of the Han family is gone." Even if there are still twists and turns, it will not affect the overall situation. ”

"I hope that as the immortal master said, now Deng Ai is stationed in Chengdu, and Zhong Hui is guarding the Sword Pavilion, what does the immortal master think about the two of them?

"The king should not ask such questions, the world is greedy and insufficient. ”

Sima Zhao frowned and said, "Deng Ai has always been loyal and duty-oriented, and Zhong Hui is even more famous, so he won't have different intentions." ”

"Does the king know Huo Guang?"

"I know, why did the immortal master mention Huo Guanglai?"

"When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose Huo Guang as the minister of Tuogu, did he ever think that there would be a matter of abolishing the emperor? When Huo Guang was a servant, did he ever think that there would be a day when the emperor would be abolished? Those who can be consistent have not seen two or three. ”

"Yes, people, sometimes you can't give him too much power, and it is easy to breed greed. Immortal Master thinks, how should I deal with the two of them?"

"One word, etc. ”

"Wait?"

"Yes, Deng Ai is from a low background, and Zhong will be famous in the world. Now Deng Ai's official prestige is not under Zhong Hui, and he has arrived in Chengdu first. ”

Sima Zhao nodded and said: "What the immortal master said is extremely true, but some things must not be guarded against, I intend to let Jia Chong lead the army into the Slope Valley and garrison Lecheng, I am personally leading an army of 100,000 and stationed in Chang'an in case of accidents." ”

"The king's thoughts are far-reaching, and I can't do it. ”

"Haha, the immortal master is too humble!"

Sima Zhao laughed and walked out of the house, he still had a lot to do. has just been crowned king, and he has to accept the congratulations of the ministers. Although the fiefdom is not very concerned, it is also necessary to arrange for people to receive it. The most important thing is to sacrifice to the family temple and burn the congratulatory watch. Anyway, he didn't have much time to talk to the old guy.

Seeing him walk out the door with joy, Jae Yu smiled softly. Mortals, what a shallow animal. I always feel that I am proud, but in fact, I am just a speck of dust in this rolling wave. What about the emperor? A hundred years later, isn't he also a skeleton? Only the gods are the real beings who preside over the era.

The mountain road is difficult, especially in Shuzhong. How difficult it is to go through the Shu Road, probably many people go through it once, and they don't want to go on it a second time.

Liu Chan's mood today is as bad as ever. It's like a puddle of mud, you can't get out if you sink into it. As the king of the fallen country, the treatment he received was not too bad, at least compared to the monarch who was destroyed by Yingzheng, the Wei army did not kill him. On the way to Luoyang, he had a whole train fleet. In addition to the accompanying attendants, there are also the ministers in Shu.

Two generations of Rao Ende, after all, there are still many courtiers who are reluctant to give up their old feelings, and they willingly follow him, an incompetent king, to be humiliated in the enemy's Kyoto. This may also be a kind of righteousness, a kind of righteousness as a scholar and a courtier.

Huang Hao did not die, nor did he escape, he still followed Liu Chan, waiting for food and living. Deng Ai originally wanted to kill him, but he bought it off with money and saved his life. used to be greedy in his hands, but now he spit it out in one breath, Huang Hao regrets it very much.

When the Wei army went south, it was he who asked Luo Yan to give Liu Chan a divination, and there was no danger, it was just an ordinary change of guard. The battle ahead is dangerous, and it is also he who makes the Luoyan war stable and not a big problem.

Now that everything has been punctured, Luo Yan's woman has inexplicably disappeared, leaving him here to bear his anger. Fortunately, it was not he who persuaded Liu Chan to surrender, and after the country was broken, he still followed the old master. This made those civil officials lose a lot of anger, and they didn't take advantage of the night to secretly kill him.

"Huang Hao, the water bag is in your place? I'm thirsty. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, wait a minute, I'll go get it. ”

Drinking a sip of water into his stomach, Liu Chan felt a lot better, people, what can you not be wronged by your stomach. In a lifetime, the most I do is not three meals a day, eating and drinking. Looking at Huang Hao, who was still quite frightened, Liu Chan said: "Don't be afraid, it's nothing, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Huang Hao choked up a little when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, I... I'm sorry for your ......"

Liu Chan hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Don't say this, if those old ministers hear it, you won't have to suffer." ”

"Woo... Your Majesty... Drink... Drink water!"
