646 The Scientific Process of Usurpation (II)
After talking about Cao Pi's scientific operation, Liu Bei's scientific operation is also worth learning from.
Cao Pi replaced the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei, as the last warlord of the Han clan at that time, must carry the banner of the Han family to fight against Cao Pi, and he can't let it fall.
So being the emperor has become a realistic factor, something that has to be done.
But the emperor is not called the emperor by patting his head and melon seeds, Liu Bei does not have Liu Xie to give up the throne and create a throne out of thin air, is it reasonable? Is it legal? Does the world agree? Is it okay to get by on the face?
At that time, although Liu Bei had ruled Yizhou for several years, there were many people who opposed Liu Bei's claim to be emperor.
Claiming the emperor is a technical job, and you can't just pat your brain, so with the help of a group of capable people, Liu Bei made full preparations and began a vigorous preparation for becoming the emperor.
On the year name, in order to show that he inherited the legal system of the Han Dynasty, then naturally he can't turn his back on Huo De, the chapter word of Zhang Wu's year name, the five elements belong to fire, this martial arts is probably also a kind of praise for Liu Bei, right?
After all, Rong Ma has a lifetime......
And then there's the big killer, the prophecy.
Liu Xiu relied on his brain, luck and prophecy to fool the people of the world into becoming the emperor, and after becoming the emperor, he naturally became very enthusiastic about prophecy, so that it developed to the point that ministers who did not believe in prophecies had to be degraded.
So in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, prophecies always occupied a lofty position in the official face, and they could always stir up the world, stir people's hearts to panic, and people's minds to change.
For example, the most famous boring proverb "when Tu Gaoye, the representative of the Han Dynasty", was taken out of context, and actually became one of the bases for Yuan Shu and Cao Pi to be emperors.
If Liu Bei wants to be the emperor, he is also indispensable for the support of prophecies, and he needs to find a basis for him to be the emperor.
So Liu Bei assigned a group of scholars to lie on the ground and read ancient books, desperately looking for and searching......
Lu Xun said that there is no basis in the world, and when there is a need for careerists, there is naturally a basis.
So a group of old scholars worked hard and blinded their eyes, and finally found the sentence "Red Three Days Dechang, the Ninth Generations Will Prepare, and Become the Emperor" in the chapter of "Luo Shu Zhen Yaodu".
They gave an exclusive interpretation of this sentence, which means that a dynasty with fire virtue and luck must experience three prosperity, and after several generations, a person named Bei will become the emperor.
Of course, the final interpretation of this sentence is in the hands of the Shu Han official, and no private interpretation is accepted.
Private interpretation is illegal, and the head will be cut off.
Finally found the proof!
The old scholars burst into tears, and the Shu Han courtiers were overjoyed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, Liu Bei, who has been beaten all his life and fled to the west without a place to settle down, is the true son of heaven who is destined to inherit the throne of the Han family!
Therefore, the emperor lives up to the painstaking people, and the opportunity is always reserved for those who are prepared, Liu Bei finally found a proverb that meets his conditions.
Well, the prophecy is there, the legal basis is there, the conditions are there, and the auspiciousness is there...... I said yes, yes!
Everything is ready, and more than 800 officials have seen the opportunity to jointly sign a letter-
As a result, the Phoenix Nirvana, the Han Empire was reborn in the southwest border of the land of China.
Guo Peng has learned important lessons from these painstaking stories, and has also learned important lessons from the reckless behavior of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yanββ
The result is predestined for a long time, everyone knows it, so the key is not the result, but the process.
Although he is in place with his strength, he wants to usurp the throne and become the emperor, because after all, he is a rebel and a thief, so no matter what he says, he can't rob it too obviously, in that case, it looks too ugly and does not conform to his personality all along.
Being an emperor yourself is already something that many people agree with, but having said that, the process should also be gentle and in line with the core essence of Confucianism - benevolence.
It is necessary to whitewash this usurpation action full of conspiracy, calculation, despicable and shameless to refresh the lower limit, full of benevolence and morality, and there can be no bloodshed and disharmony.
It must be felt that this is a scene that only appears under the virtue of the ancient sages.
The emperor is a holy monarch, not a traitor, and the ministers are not anti-ministers, but conform to the will of heaven, so that everyone can get by on face, so it is logical to agree.
To put it simply, it is necessary to do what and what to set up, both of which are indispensable.
Guo someone, the strongest person in the world, is destined to become the emperor and replace the Han family, this is the will of God, not the will of people, so it is also the will of God to open a new era, not a rebellion, there is nothing illegal, everything is the will of God.
Guo someone is ordered by God!
So everyone has an honor.
Happy everybody, happy everybody.
In this way, it is easy to accept.
Face, face, face!
In the face of established facts, face is the most important!
This is what Guo Peng needs to do most at the moment.
After feeling this fiery emotion, Guo also understood everything, he knew what he should do most now, and he also knew how to operate this matter.
So that night, Guo called Cheng Yu over and secretly handed over three tasks to Cheng Yu.
First, find a minor doll from among the descendants of Liu Kai, the king of Hejian, and bring it to Yecheng, so that he can become the new emperor.
Second, from all the books that can be searched more than a hundred years ago, we can find evidence that Guo is the emperor destined by God - the sentence Tu Gaoye, who is a representative of the Han Dynasty, can be used.
It is necessary to find a well-known weft scholar to give an exclusive explanation, and hold the right to interpret in your hands, and you can't give others the opportunity to interpret blindly.
Third, think about a name for Guo that is in line with the era that is applicable after the Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
The first one can be made public, anyway, it is a black-box operation, and the decision on who to choose as the emperor is in the hands of Guo Peng.
The second and third need to carefully find someone to do it, work secretly, don't shoot guns, Cheng Yu must be very careful, can't leak the news.
Cheng Yu immediately said very excitedly that he knew everything, and he would do all of Guo Peng's requests, all quietly, and there would never be any omission.
At the same time, Cheng Yu also expressed all his excitement.
"When the lord informed his subordinates of these intentions, it was still a matter of five years in Zhongping, in a flash, more than ten years have passed, more than ten years, it is like a dream, to this day, the subordinates often have a sense of unreality, I can't believe that at the beginning, the lord was just a middle school general in the north, but now, the lord is already a dragon and phoenix among people."
Cheng Yu wiped his tears and his voice choked.
Guo Peng couldn't help but shed tears.
Thinking of the past, he held the hand of Cheng Yu, the only one who knew some of the dark emotions in his heart, and said with a smile: "The bitterness is coming, in the past ten years, I have worked hard, Zhongde has also worked hard, along the way, I will never give up, hard work, Zhongde's hard work, I see it in my eyes, in this life, Guo Zifeng will live up to Cheng Zhongde." β
"Lord!"
Cheng Yu burst into tears in an instant, crying bitterly, as if he wanted to pour out the pressure accumulated over the years.
When people grow up, there are not many places where they can shed tears, unlike when they were young, they cried whenever they wanted, and when they were stressed, they cried immediately, and when they cried, the pressure was gone, and the mood was good.
But when you grow up, you can't cry when you want to, and there is almost no place to cry, and the accumulated pressure can only accumulate slowly, until a certain string suddenly breaks at a certain moment, and then some abrupt tears rain down.
So adults are not as happy as children.
Guo still remembers the last time he cried sincerely, or after knowing the news of Lu Zhi's death, in a blink of an eye, many years have passed, and I don't know when the next sincere crying will be.
For people of his status, shedding tears is a necessary survival performance skill, and he will flow when he says it, but if he uses this skill too much, the pressure will be greater.
So even Guo occasionally wants to find a place to cry hard and scold his despicable and shameless self.
I just don't have that time.
Cry a little here, and hurry up to plan the next scene, hurry up and finish Hanchen's role, he has to play the emperor's role, be the emperor, and do more things.
He was thirty-four years old, and he didn't have much time left.
Race against the clock and seize every second.
