Bai Xiaowen's westward expedition successively pacified Hanzhong and Yizhou, destroyed Liu Bei's forces, and once again shocked the world.

Back in Yedu, the emperor led hundreds of officials out to welcome thirty miles to show glory.

The show has just begun.

Dong Zhao and Hua Xin jointly put their names on the table, and the Duke of Yan Guo had a great contribution to quelling the chaos, clarifying the four seas, and supporting the world; the imperial court should be promoted to the king, and nine tins should be added to show the difference between him and the ministers.

The so-called "nine tin (cì)" is actually nine "gifts", which are the nine kinds of ritual instruments that the ancient emperor rewarded the princes and ministers, representing the highest courtesy.

Nine kinds of tin include chariots and horses, crown clothes, musical instruments (music hanging), zhuhu, tiger ben, bows and arrows, axes and so on. Throughout the ancient history of China, the powerful ministers who had received Jiuxi basically established their own political power, which can be said to be synonymous with "usurpation".

However, Jiuxi in the Three Kingdoms era cannot be equated with usurpation, because it was from Wang Mang and Cao Cao that they gradually began to accept the courtesy of Jiuxi.

And in this Three Kingdoms Plane of the Spirit Realm, Bai Xiaowen is the first prince to receive Jiuxi after Wang Mang.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

It is inevitable that the government and the opposition will talk about it, but there is basically no opposition.

The reason is very simple, Bai Xiaowen has flattened most of the princes, and only Jiangdong is left.

There are many people who have begun to count, when will Bai Xiaowen really ascend the throne and become the emperor and replace the Han Dynasty.

Yedu, Da Sima Mansion.

In front of Bai Xiaowen, Dong Zhao and Hua Xin stood solemnly.

"Didn't Xun Yu raise any objections?" Bai Xiaowen was a little puzzled.

Dong Zhao said: "Xun Yu seems to be in poor health and has been lying in bed. After the ministers presented the Jin Feng Yan Wang Zhang, Guangluqing's mansion closed its doors and cut off contacts with outsiders. ”

Hua Xin pondered Bai Xiaowen's intentions and said: "My lord, Xun Yu has not contributed an inch to the imperial court since he voted for the lord; instead, he has repeatedly blocked the lord's entry into the throne and blocked the public's expectations with one person, so that the courtiers are all effective in imitating him! The lord should not leave this person behind, otherwise it will inevitably hinder the lord's plan." ”

Bai Xiaowen frowned and said, "How is Xun Yu's condition?"

Dong Zhao and Hua Xin glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads and didn't know. The two of them couldn't enter Xun Yu's mansion at all.

Bai Xiaowen sighed: "Hua Xin, you said that Xun Yu has not made an inch, which is inevitably biased. When recruiting Cao Cao's old ministry and stabilizing Henan, Xun Yu also made great efforts. He is blocking now, because he is stubborn and can't see the general trend clearly. If you want to win the world, how can you not tolerate a single meritorious minister? Dong Zhao can send an order to the medical officer to do his best to diagnose and treat Xun Yu, and not to neglect in the slightest. ”

Dong Zhao and Hua Xin said in unison: "The lord has a mind and is unparalleled in the world. ”

Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "The two of you can rest assured that you will not treat meritorious people poorly." ”

Hua Xin understood and said, "We will do our best to urge the imperial court to allow the king to play the chapter as soon as possible." ”

Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly.

Dong Zhao said with a smile: "The lord's virtue and meritorious deeds, how can a Yan Wangzun be summed up? The lord can resign but not accept it, and the imperial court will inevitably repeatedly add seals; such three resignations and three concessions can make the people of the world have nothing to say." ”

Bai Xiaowen nodded, showing a satisfied smile.

It can be seen that Dong Zhao is still comfortable with the palace party, and Hua Xin still has to cultivate again.

Bai Xiaowen then said: "Is the heart of Yedu stable?"

Dong Zhao didn't know what he meant, and replied: "Back to the lord, there is nothing abnormal in Yedu. ”

Bai Xiaowen said: "Gu Jia Feng Yan King, the Son of Heaven, there may be changes." After the order is passed, all the palace guards and eunuchs will be replaced, and the original eunuchs will expose each other, and I want to see who dares to welcome the Son of Heaven. ”

Dong Zhao was shocked: "Lord, I got some information. ”

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "People's hearts are made of flesh. How can those eunuchs get along with the emperor day and night without the slightest affection? Today's emperor is an unconscious lord, and it is common for him to entrap one or two eunuchs with kindness. ”

Dong Zhao thought that Bai Xiaowen had received some secret report, and he was even more shocked in his heart, so he bowed down to receive the order.

Bai Xiaowen didn't actually get any information, just in case. He could faintly feel the calm Yedu, the turbulent undercurrent lurking underneath.

In this investigation, the eunuchs exposed each other, but they really revealed several people, all of whom had been rewarded by the Son of Heaven and the Queen.

Bai Xiaowen personally interrogated the four eunuchs, and with his meticulous insight, he quickly judged that three of them were unlucky people who were bitten indiscriminately, and did not take refuge in the Son of Heaven;

"Mu Shun ......"

Bai Xiaowen smiled slightly, for this, he has also been famous for a long time.

In the romance, Mu Shun received a letter from Queen Fu and passed it to the national abbot Fu Wan, who wanted to plot against Cao Cao. However, after the defeat, Cao Cao killed more than 200 members of Mu Shun and Fu Quan's clan.

The advantage of foresight was reflected, Bai Xiaowen didn't need to torture Mu Shun at all, and after having basic suspicions, he directly ordered the Tiger Benjia to surround Mu Shun and Fu Wan's house and search it vigorously.

It doesn't matter if you can't find it, it's a big deal that Bai Xiaowen put wine on the table and was shocked. With his powerful position at this time, Fu Wan didn't dare to say anything at all.

After some searching, he found the correspondence box that Fu had exchanged on weekdays. In the mezzanine of the box, I got a secret letter written by Queen Fu to Fu Wan.

It turned out that when Queen Fu was discussing the title of King Yan by Bai Xiaowen, she felt that the Han Dynasty would end in the hands of Bai Xiaowen - Bai Xiaowen's usurpation of power was a little too fast, it was only a few months, and she was a prince and a king, which was simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.

(Sima Zhao: I'm sorry, I went to the wrong set...... ）

Of course, Bai Xiaowen's contribution is really great, and he has continuously pacified the princes in various places, and he also has the qualifications and capital to ask for the title.

But Queen Fu didn't want to sit still, so she wrote a letter, and Tonei Eun Mu Shun passed it to her father Fu Wan, imploring Fu Wan to plot to get rid of Bai Xiaowen.

Fu Wan's reply is that it is not appropriate to move lightly now, but Bai Xiaowen (Yuan Xi) is about to conquer Jiangnan, and Ye will be empty by then. If he had the opportunity, he would contact civil and military officials loyal to the emperor to set things right.

After Fu left a handwritten letter from Queen Fu, it was not that it was not secret, but the queen's handwritten letter, just like the edict of the year, was a token representing the imperial edict and could be used to order the minister.

For this kind of righteous name, the aborigines of the Three Kingdoms plane all attach great importance to it.

For example, Dong Cheng and others wrote their names on it as an oath; aren't they afraid that the edict will be searched?

It's not that I'm not afraid, but the imperial edict is of great significance.

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile after reading the letter: "After finishing this old boy, he can be regarded as slippery in his handling of things, and he will protect himself." It's a pity that this time, he was cheated by his daughter. I can't intimidate people without thundering. Let's borrow this old guy's head!"
