Chapter 203: One More Title
Day 2.
Deyang Hall.
Liu Zhan came to the Deyang Hall as promised, and greeted the officials who had been waiting in the hall one by one, and he was very humble.
After some politeness, Liu Zhan slowly walked up the royal steps, looked at the hundred officials of His Royal Highness, and said loudly: "Thanks to all of you, the king will be temporarily regent, but the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the most important task today is to find the young emperor." Do you have any objections? ”
"We will obey the orders of the King of Yingchuan."
His Royal Highness's officials responded in unison.
When everyone's words fell, Yuan Feng took a step across, walked out of the train, bowed his hand, and said, "Play the King of Yingchuan, the old man has something to play." ”
"Speak."
Liu Zhan waved his hand at Yuan Fengyi and said.
"As the saying goes, if the name is not right, it is not good, the princes and kings are just titles, not official positions, and the lower officials propose that the king of Yingchuan be the prime minister and take charge of the government."
Yuan Feng bowed again.
As soon as his words fell, Yuan Kui also came out and responded: "The lower official implores the king of Yingchuan to be the prime minister." ”
"We respectfully invite King Yingchuan to serve as Prime Minister."
All the people in the temple bowed their hands.
"Yes. If you have a point, I will be the prime minister for once. Liu Qian thought for a moment and nodded in response.
After speaking, Liu Zhan smiled slightly, and laughed at himself in his heart: I accidentally became the prime minister again, the prime minister, the imperial uncle, and the princes and kings...... It's a bit of a lot, it's growing too fast...... Will it be malnourished?
As soon as Liu Zhan's words fell, a congratulatory voice came to mind......
At this time, Yuan Feng cleared his throat, raised his hand to signal, and said loudly: "Where is the commander?" ”
"The lower official is here."
A middle-aged man stepped out.
"Take the photograph."
"Yes!" The middle-aged man quickly retreated to the outside of the hall......
"Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation today is very unfavorable to our court. Specifically, it is mainly manifested in the following three aspects:
First, various prefectures and counties have recruited troops one after another, and there is a great tendency to support troops and gain self-respect. According to reliable sources, these people who secretly recruit troops are inextricably linked to you.
The second is my Han officials, most of whom are vegetarians, and there are mediocre officials from various states and counties in the distance, and there are ...... in the near Among all of you here, there are such people.
The third is that the barbarians have caused trouble to our Han frontier, constantly encroaching on the territory of our Han Dynasty, and killing our Han people, but there are no good generals to guard the frontier, which is really sad......
Do you think this is true? ”
As soon as Liu Zhan's voice fell, His Highness resounded with a buzzing discussion......
"This ...... What does the prime minister mean by that? It's not going to take us under the knife, is it? ”
"Lord Yuan, I heard that the two sons of your family have appointed themselves as the guards of a county, but is there such a thing?"
"What the prime minister said is all right, it's time to punish these people with thunder, holding the court's money, but harboring evil intentions......"
……
Among the people present, the most uncomfortable were Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, and the two of them could hear the discussion beside them clearly, and many people were talking about Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Yuan Feng's face was pale, and he glanced at Liu Zhan who was leisurely in the palace, and regretted it a little in his heart, but the wood was already in the boat, and it was a little late to say anything now, Liu Zhan had been promoted as the prime minister, and before the young emperor did not return, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, this was valid, and no one could change it......
"Third brother, what should I do? The prime minister is not going to cross the river and tear down the bridge, I really didn't expect him to be such a person......"
Yuan Kui leaned into Yuan Feng's ear and whispered.
"Take a step, look at a step, maybe the prime minister is just talking like this, not to really embarrass us."
Yuan Feng comforted Yuan Kui, and at the same time comforted himself.
"Well, what the third brother said is right, if you want to punish the people that the prime minister said, he will have no one to use, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?"
Yuan Kui nodded and agreed.
Everyone's words all fell on Liu Zhan's ears, Liu Zhan chuckled, and didn't take it to heart, the reason why he came forward was nothing more than that he didn't want to see the world in chaos and the people being implicated.
Just when everyone was talking, the middle-aged man came back, holding a wooden box in his hand, walked quickly to the bottom of the royal steps, and bowed: "Please take charge of the prime minister." ”
Xun You, who was standing at the bottom of the royal steps, stepped forward quickly, took the wooden box with both hands, and sent it to Liu Zhan's hands.
Liu Zhan opened the wooden box and glanced at it, and handed it to Xun Yu casually.
To be honest, Liu Zhan doesn't care about the so-called Xiangyin, just one copper seal, it doesn't mean anything, at any time, strength comes first, Xiangyin is just a form......
"Ladies and gentlemen, be silent and listen to the Prime Minister." Xun You took the wooden box, solemnly placed it on the desk on the side, raised his hand, and said loudly.
The words fell, and the people of His Highness suddenly fell silent.
Liu Zhan coughed lightly and said, "From now on, Xun Yu will be the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion." You continue to do your own thing, and all the pieces will be sent to Tingyuxuan and handed over to Xun Changshi.
At this time, the Prime Minister would like to state that in view of the current situation of the imperial court, there is no so-called level of all additional officials; This minister only looks at the political achievements, does not recognize others, if you want to be promoted, then make achievements in your own position, whether the corpse is vegetarian or not, this minister will not be held accountable, from today on, if there is another person who takes the court's money and does not do anything, then it is not meaningful, you can only ask you to let the virtuous.
In addition, it is necessary to find the young emperor as soon as possible to reassure the people. This matter will be handed over to Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui. ”
After listening to Liu Zhan's words, everyone bowed their hands and said, "We will obey the Prime Minister's orders. Those weak-hearted officials breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
The most excited were Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, seeing that Liu Zhan didn't care about the past suspicions, the two looked at each other and smiled, and bowed deeply to Liu Zhan: "The lower officials must do their best to find the emperor as soon as possible." ”
"Hmm." Liu Zhan nodded, looked at the officials below, and found that there was no famous person, none of the princes who appeared in the history of the Three Kingdoms appeared in the palace, that is to say, the group of people in front of him also played soy sauce and left nothing in history.
"Historian?" Liu Zhan glanced at the few historians who were struggling to write books below.
"The lower official is here." The three historians stood up at the same time and bowed their hands.
"Is it truthful?"
"Please rest assured, what we remember is absolutely not false."
A leading historian replied.
"Good. Go ahead. Liu Zhan waved his hand at the historian, looked at His Royal Highness's people, and continued, "Where is the Luoyang Order?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man walked sideways and bowed: "Luoyang ordered Sima Fang to meet the prime minister." ”
Sima Fang?
Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Sima Fang a few more times, and found that this person was calm and respectful, and there was an unpredictable feeling...... This is the person of the Sima family who stole the fruits of the Three Kingdoms, and he is really not a mediocre person.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Zhan continued: "Lord Sima, in this special period, we must focus on strictly investigating suspicious people, the emperor is gone, many people can't sit still, and they have sent spies to investigate the situation in the DPRK and China. ”
"The subordinate officer takes the order."
Sima Fang bowed, returned to the train, and stood there motionless, no one could see what he was thinking, whether he was happy or worried......
……
It's night.
Chenliujun.
In Cao Cao's study, Cao Cao is playing chess with Cheng Yu. Cao Cao looked leisurely, dropped a son, and said with a smile: "Zhongde, Luoyang is estimated to be in a mess now." ”
"Huh...... General, it's still a little early to make a conclusion, there is King Yingchuan, maybe something unexpected will happen to the general. ”
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and slowly dropped a chess piece.
"Oh? He's just a hairy kid, what can he do? He is here with us, so don't worry about big things. After a while, when the old guys in the court had nothing to do, they sent that one back to the palace with great fanfare, in that case, wouldn't they be able to sit back and enjoy it? Hehe......"
Cao Cao smiled, not quite believing Cheng Yu's words.
"Otherwise, Liu Zhan is different from others, incredible things can always happen to him, although he is young, Yu can't see through him, he is always hazy and can't see clearly."
Cheng Yu's expression was solemn and serious.
"Hmm......" Cao Cao's heart tightened, thinking of Liu Zhan's deeds, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "It seems that Liu Zhan is the biggest variable, Zhongde, how do you say Liu Zhan will deal with the current situation." ”
"It's hard to make a conclusion, there should be news in a few days." Cheng Yin frowned and said.
As soon as Cheng Yin's words fell, a waw sound sounded outside the door.
"Come in." Cao Cao didn't raise his head, and said outside.
"Squeak-"
The door opened from the outside, and a man in black came to Cao Cao, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand and said: "General Qiyu, yesterday, Liu Zhan, the king of Yingchuan, agreed to preside over the government. ”
"Huh?" Cao Cao stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief, "How can he ...... He's rejected them all seven times, is this one more missing? ”
"This ...... The subordinates don't know. The man in black bowed his head and whispered.
"Go down and get your reward, I'm not asking you." Cao Cao waved his hand at the man in black, his face full of gloom.
"General Xie!"
The black man bowed his hand and retreated outside the house.
"General, don't worry, the regent of King Yingchuan is not necessarily a bad thing."
Cheng Yu pondered for a moment, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and said.
"How?"
Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu with a puzzled face. As Cao Cao's first strategist, Cheng Yu has an extremely important position in his heart, although Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, but he has no doubt about what Cheng Yu said, without him, every time Cheng Yu offers a strategy, Cao Cao makes a lot of money, and it is precisely because of Cheng Yu that Cao Cao's strength continues to increase.
"Huh...... General, there is no owner in the palace, and the king of Yingchuan, as a prince, is in charge of the government privately, and he will leave a bad name for him. ”
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said.
"What if he is not evil? As far as someone knows, Liu Zhan is not that kind of person. ”
"General, don't worry, no matter what King Yingchuan does, he won't have a good reputation, or rather, sooner or later, someone will make a big fuss about this."
"Haha...... I see, if there is a Zhongde, why worry about a big thing? ”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed, as if he saw Liu Zhan's infamous appearance on his head.
