Chapter 751: The Proposal to Claim the Emperor
"Yes!"
As soon as Liu Zheng's words came out, many people began to get excited.
These people, why do they follow Liu Zheng, it's not just to seal their wives and sons, and to worship the prime minister.
Now that Liu Zheng is finally going to be the emperor, and their wish can finally come true, how can they not be excited.
The most excited is the people of the bandit faction, because they were born in a poor family, if they are not able to join the military camp in this life, take advantage of the troubled times, make meritorious achievements, and want to rely on birth, rise to prominence, and go to the court, it is almost impossible.
"Actually, let everyone come over today, just to listen to everyone's opinions, everyone is willing to be the emperor and become a legitimate court official, then we will be called the emperor, if everyone is not willing to be the emperor, then this matter, we will slow down."
Among the people present, they immediately began to talk about it.
Liu disputed the wine glass, walking back and forth here, drinking wine while listening to what these generals and strategists were saying.
"Great, the lord is finally going to be the emperor, and we have finally come to the end, we can finally have an official position and title!"
"Called the emperor, called the emperor, I support the emperor, the last time we fought with the soldiers and horses of those imperial courts, they were some kind of generals and captains at every turn, when they asked me, I said that I was a Qu commander, and they were laughed at!"
"The lord is called the emperor, then aren't we all generals, the three princes and the nine kings, of course we support it, we not only want to be the emperor, but also to beat the lord of the world down!"
"Emperor? Is it too early to be called emperor now, what if as soon as we become emperor, we will be attacked by those people in the imperial court who gather troops again? ”
"I don't think it's time to be called the emperor, if we call the emperor again, then what should this country be called?"
……
These people at the bottom were talking nonsense, and after Liu Zheng walked around, he had roughly understood the thoughts of these people.
Most of them agree to be emperors.
Of course, some people agree, and there will always be people who oppose it, and there are still a small number of people who are not in favor of being called emperor, nor are they in favor of being called emperor, but they are not very in favor of being called emperor at this time.
Liu Zheng did not take advantage of the battle with the imperial court last year, but also lost Xuzhou and Qingzhou, which was obviously weaker than the imperial court, so if Liu Zheng became emperor at this time, it was inevitable that he would go to war with the imperial court again.
Those people were worried that Liu Zheng and the imperial court would go to war again and would not be able to retreat in the hands of the imperial court.
The power that has been built up with great difficulty will fall apart, but it is necessary to accumulate strength, and when there is absolute strength to compete with the imperial court, then become emperor.
However, Liu Zheng just felt that this would not work, if he waited until he had absolute strength, he would miss the opportunity.
Those generals, basically no one objected, just a few strategists present, silent.
Xu You, Yuan Zhou, Chen Deng, and Guo Jia didn't speak, but just looked at these people around them with a flat face.
Those people, Liu Zheng naturally doesn't need to ask their opinions, what Liu Zheng needs is the opinions of the four people in front of him.
"Four gentlemen, what do you think about the matter of becoming emperor?"
Liu Zheng asked questions at the four of them.
Not surprisingly, none of the four objected.
And they all gave their reasons.
"Lord, I think it is very necessary to be called emperor, in fact, I told you before, it is necessary for us to be emperor, in today's world, the court and Yuan Shao, both of them, have an emperor in hand, we fight with them, not even an emperor, or as a prince to fight against them, the identity is a head shorter, so I think it is necessary to be called emperor."
Xu You spoke first and said a word to Liu Zheng.
When he said this, there was actually another meaning.
Xu You was also born in a poor family, he is not a child of a big family, the reason why he struggles like this, the reason is just to get ahead, when he and Jizhou Assassin Shi set up a new emperor, he knew that Xu You was a person who longed for a high position.
It's just that Wang Fen is not a person who has achieved great things, so Xu You has rejoined Liu Zheng's command, and now Liu Zheng is going to be the emperor, as a veteran figure under Liu Zheng, how about Xu You, he can also mix into the position of the third duke.
Therefore, Xu Yu desperately hoped that Liu Zheng would become the emperor, so that he, a strategist, would also rise with the tide.
Compared with Xu You's straightforwardness, Yuan Zhou is more subtle.
"Lord, it's not impossible to be called emperor, after all, in this way, it is very convenient for us to rule Jiaozhou and Yangzhou and other places, these places, in our hands, have been operating for so many years, and there is very little sense of belonging to the imperial court.
Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, in the early years, had no sense of belonging to the imperial court, and now they have been occupied by Liu Zheng for so many years, basically infiltrated by Liu Zheng's strength very seriously, plus most of them are officials promoted by Liu Zheng, so Liu Zheng is the emperor, these two places, will definitely cheer, and things such as the imperial examination held by Liu Zheng can also be carried out in these places more conveniently.
Liu Zheng heard Yuan Zhou's words and nodded.
Compared with the emperor's physical improvement of Yuan Zhou, Yuan Zhou didn't care so much, an official position could no longer impress Yuan Zhou, he is now Liu Zheng's most trusted commander of the Jinyi Guard, although this official position is only an official position founded by Liu Zheng himself, which is different from the official position of the Han Dynasty.
But Yuan Zhou didn't want to be a civil servant like the Three Princes and Nine Princes at all, but he liked the position of the commander of Jinyiwei, which could show his supreme status and particularity.
Liu Zheng looked at Chen Deng again.
Chen Deng is one of the others, and he joined Liu Zheng's side relatively late, and he has not had much contact with Liu Zheng, and he is not even as much as Guo Jia.
However, Chen Deng also put forward his own views.
"Lord, in fact, I also agree with the emperor, as Mr. Yuan Zhou said, the emperor can increase the sense of belonging, now many big families are actually only forced to succumb to the lord because of the lord's strength, and the support for the lord is not great, but once the lord is the emperor and promises to give these families some official positions and titles, it will inevitably make many families that were still in swing before into the camp of the lord."
Compared with others, Chen Deng values the support of the big family more, and Liu Zheng is the emperor, so he can win over many previous families, give them benefits, and let them support Liu Zheng.
For example, the Chen Deng Chen family in Xuzhou and the Mi family in Mi Fang, they can all follow Liu Zheng with all their hearts.
