Chapter 499: Persuasion to become emperor

As the saying goes, a gentleman can be bullied. Although Gongsun Chan is not a gentleman, he has a straightforward temperament and values face, so it is not too easy to deal with. What Mi Zhu said just now is that if Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others, who are well versed in the way of thick blackness, are changed, I am afraid that it will be a performance for the blind man. If it was Cao Cao, it was estimated that he would eat all the candy wrappers and shoot back the cannonballs sent by Mi Zhu. And if it is Liu Bei, it is estimated that the other party will pull Mi Zhu to cry while turning around, and Mi Zhu's performance is estimated to be similar to the current Gongsun Zhan, after all, when it comes to the word "benevolence and righteousness", no one can say anything about Liu Bei.

Mi Zhu's carefully prepared and sincere words directly fooled Gongsun Zhan and his civil and military forces, at least on the surface, even Tian Yu did not refute this. After all, Yuan Shu's calculation of Gongsun Chan is true, but the recognition and help are also true, and Gongsun Zhan's achievements in guarding the frontier for so many years are worthy of Yuan Shu's recognition. Nine falsehoods and one truth, although it is not completely convincing, but it can still be fooled under Mi Zhu's eloquence.

"Lord, the matter of Yuan Shu should be put aside for the time being, although Yuan Shu has a naval army, but the grassland still has to rely on cavalry to speak. When we defeat Yuan Shao and unify Hebei, it will only be a matter of fingers to recover Liaodong. Does the lord really plan to send troops now? Tian Yu asked.

"Now that the food and grass are ready, and the armor is sufficient, when will we wait if we don't send troops? I've waited too long for this day! Gongsun Zhan said excitedly, after Mi Zhu's persuasion just now, his willingness to send troops has been strengthened.

Seeing this, Tian Yu no longer persuaded him, but Guan Jing, as if he had made up some kind of determination after hesitating left and right, stood up and said: "The lord wants to wave his army to the south, and there is a plan to greatly improve morale to help the lord eliminate Yuan Shao." ”

"Oh? What's the plan? Gongsun Chan said with interest.

"Scale! Emperor! Guan Jing's eyes were solemn, and he said word by word.

"What?" Everyone in the hall was shocked. The calm people led by Tian Yu quickly stood up and reprimanded angrily as soon as Guan Jing's voice fell: "Hugh is talking nonsense! Where have you put your lordship? This is clearly an attempt to trap the lord in a disloyal and unkind place! ”

"Think twice! It is a great crime to call the emperor, and I am afraid that all the princes of the world will rise up and attack him! ”

"My lord! Don't listen to Guan Jing's words and cause a big disaster! ”

And the Gongsun clan represented by Gongsun Xu, as well as the generals, were quite approving, and said:

"Father, Guan Jing's words are not unreasonable, and calling the emperor is enough to inspire the hearts of the army and the people."

"The achievements of the Northern Expedition of the Lord are ancient and modern, and there is a jade seal of the country, so he should have been called the emperor a long time ago!"

The two sides soon argued with each other, but Guan Jing, who was in charge of all this, stood still and remained silent.

Gongsun Zhan, who was located above, heard Guan Jing's words, and his heart was on fire. He fought on the frontier, and he had already seen through the corruption and incompetence of the Han Dynasty, and after winning the jade seal in the first battle, he had the heart to replace him. Now Guan Jing's old matter is brought up again, which instantly ignites his desire. But looking at the scene of civil and military disputes below, especially Tian Yu's solemn gaze that had been staring at him, he hesitated again in his heart, and turned to look at Guan Jing, who was in the middle of the whirlpool like an outsider.

"Shiqi, why did you say that?"

As soon as Gongsun Chan spoke, everyone in the hall was silent, and all their eyes were focused on Guan Jing.

Finding that he had become the center of everyone's attention, Guan Jing enjoyed this feeling very much in his heart, and said in an impassioned tone on his face: "This is the best time for the lord to be the emperor, there is a hundred benefits and no harm, and the lord should do it." ”

"First of all, it is the immortal work of the Lord to determine the alien race, and who in the world does not subdue it? Now that the Han is terminally ill and in name only, even the election of the Son of Heaven is like a child's play, and now it is still in the hands of eunuchs such as Cao Cao, and the Han is no longer enough. And the lord holds the jade seal of the country, which is a gift from God, and it is the will of heaven that the lord wants to be the emperor. If the lord is called the emperor, he will definitely be subdued by the people and expected by the people, and then he will go south with the power of the Son of Heaven, destroy Yuan Shao and unify the north in one fell swoop, and when the lord is the true dragon son of heaven who is the trend of the times and the hearts of the people! ”

"Secondly, at this time, the world is in turmoil, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Gongsun Du are all attacking each other, and the lord is absolutely unstoppable as the emperor, and the so-called group attack will not appear, and the lord only needs to defeat Yuan Shao, which is naturally the destiny of heaven, and no one can stop it. The lord claims that the emperor is beneficial and harmless, and he should be decisive in doing so! ”

Guan Jing's words were impassioned, and Gongsun Zhan, who said bluntly, was full of joy, and he couldn't wait to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

"My lord! Although the Han Dynasty is dead, but the people's hearts are still there, there are still countless loyal ministers in the world, the lord will be regarded as a mortal enemy by these people, even if the world is in turmoil now, and the princes are unable to crusade against the lord, but once the situation in the Central Plains is stabilized, then the princes of the world will attack the lord, what should the lord do? Besides, there are many righteous men under the command of our army just now, and I am afraid that the lord will arouse the resentment of these people! Tian Yu said angrily and bluntly.

"My lord! Nothing the state has to worry about. He had already torn his face, and Guan Jing now directly confronted Tian Yu and said: "All the princes in the world have the heart to be the emperor, but no one dares to come forward. As long as there are other princes who are called emperors, I am afraid that the princes of the world will not be busy attacking the lord, but will be busy following the trend and competing for the emperor. ”

Guan Jing's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have long wanted to be emperors, but they have been suffering from not having a good time and are unwilling to take risks for this false name. And Gongsun Du is not to mention, this product already claims to be the king of Liaodong, and everyone knows the heart of the emperor. Gongsun Chan was called emperor at this time, and the risk was extremely small.

"As for the righteous men under their command, they all admired the bravery of the lord and admired the exploits of the lord's Northern Expedition, so how could they complain about this vain Han family? Once the lord is proclaimed emperor and is rewarded lavishly, the soldiers under his command will not only have no complaints, but will have a skyrocketing morale and become more loyal to the lord. ”

"Good!" As soon as Guan Jing's voice fell, Gongsun Zhan shouted: "What Shiqi said is very true, if there is a great chaos today, and the pattern is just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, what will the Son of Heaven do to him who has become the plaything of the princes and has a vain name?" A certain immortal achievement for the people, and holding the jade seal of the country, is the destiny of heaven and the direction of all the people, and it is natural for the emperor to be called! ”

"Lord!" Tian Yu said sadly.

"The country makes you don't need to say much, God has let someone be the emperor, and if you don't do it again, isn't it against God? I am afraid that it will be abandoned by God in the future, a certain is the choice of God, and a certain is the Son of Heaven who ends this troubled world! Gongsun Zhan's head was raised, and his face was crazy, and his eyes were blazing.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Guan Jing knelt directly on the ground and bowed.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Gongsun Yue and the others also knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Meet Your Majesty!" The rest of the scribes and advisors also knelt down after a moment of hesitation when they saw a large number of colleagues kneeling down and Gongsun Zhan, who was full of momentum and madness in the hall. Suddenly, in the entire hall, except for Gongsun Zhan, only Tian Yu was left standing in place, looking at Gongsun Chan stubbornly, without saying a word.
