Chapter Twenty-Seven: King Kang

Nine tin, is the Son of Heaven to the princes, ministers have nine kinds of utensils, including chariots and horses, clothes, clothing, Zhu Hu, Na Ma, Hu Ben hundred people, 鈇 Yue, bow and arrow and Ji Hu, is the highest courtesy of the expression, before Kang Peng lived in the Three Kingdoms era, only Wang Mang was given nine tin, after this era, there were Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Sima Zhao, Li Yuan and the founding emperor of the four dynasties of the Southern Dynasties and others have received nine tin, a good nine tin gift, but also become a complete usurpation synonym.

As soon as Hua Xin asked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to crown Kang Peng as King Kang, the military officials above were first stunned, and then exploded, and almost everyone had a thought in their hearts - Dong Zhuo finally wanted to usurp! I think so, but no one dares to publicly accuse Kang Peng of his disobedience, first, most of the court officials were promoted by Li Ru in the line of fire back then, Dong Zhuo was called the king, they naturally had to be promoted to knighthood, and the ministers loyal to the Han family did not dare to anger Dong Zhuo, and they all pointed the finger at Hua Xin, including Cai Yong and Fu Wan, who had been demoted to concubines, all gritted their teeth and scolded Hua Xin, although they did not dare to scold Hua Xin for being Kang Peng's ass or instructed by Kang Peng, but they put a hat on Hua Xin's head as a thief, a traitor and a traitor. I can't eat the flesh of Huaxin raw.

The most elderly Taifu Ma Ridan was even more angry and trembled all over, and his thin hand grabbed Hua Xin's collar and scolded: "Traitor, Gaozu swears to kill the white horse, and Liu must not be crowned king!" Taishi Dong is loyal to the saint, you dare to encourage Taishi to follow the example of the national thief Wang Mang, you, long live your sin! Ma Ridan also knew that Hua Xin was pulled up by Kang Peng, and this was actually scolded to Kang Peng, and advised Kang Peng not to learn from Wang Mang.

"Holy!" Suddenly there was a cry like a pig in the court, and the loyal Han Taishi Dong suddenly cried loudly, the voice was so ugly that the palace maids of the Han Xian Emperor were scared to the point of losing their faces, and the Dong Taishi, who was usually very good at pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade, did not have time to care about the feelings of the beautiful palace maids, plopped down and knelt down, twisted the fat bucket waist and knee to the front of the Han Xian Emperor, and cried with his forehead: "Long live Mingjian, the old minister is loyal to the country, and will never covet the wrong thoughts, the old minister only wants to rejuvenate my Han and revitalize the rivers and mountains for long live, I don't dare to think about any princely position! "The name of Dong Taishi's loyalty to the country is indeed not blown out, kowtowing and bleeding, crying to death, the words are sincere, it is really sad for those who hear it, and the listeners are crying, even those ministers who are loyal to the Han family almost all think that Hua Xin's recital was not instructed by Dong Boss - it is not.

"Hooray!" Kang Peng cried: "The minister has a heavy army in his hand, sitting on the five states, and it is normal for the minister to be misunderstood and want to be the king, but in order to avoid suspicion, the old minister begs Long Live to dismiss the old minister and reduce him to a concubine, in order to show the heart of the old minister." ”

"Old thing, if only I could remove you from office and cut you off!" Emperor Han Xian hated and scolded in his heart, and Emperor Han Xian, who grew up, knew in his heart that if he really issued an order to remove Dong Zhuo's officials, not to mention whether Dong Zhuo would obey the order, even if Dong Zhuo really obeyed the order, the military power of the Xiliang Army was still in Dong Zhuo's hands, and Dong Zhuojun's arrogant generals would not obey his dispatch.

"Taishi, don't be too sad, long live the wise candle, and you will never misunderstand Taishi." Kang Peng's performance moved a group of old ministers, Ma Ridan, Zhu Xi and Dong Cheng and other old ministers all came up to support and comfort Kang Peng, saying that they understood Kang Peng's loyalty, and Emperor Han Xian also pretended to comfort Kang Peng, but the loyal Dong Taishi still cried non-stop, and there was a tendency to crash into the Jinluan Palace without clearing up the grievances, and Dong Taishi's righteous son Wenhou Lu Fengxian wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but was stopped by Dong Zhuojun's military advisor Jia Xu with a stern gaze.

"Taishi's words are wrong!" When the court was making noise, Hua Xin, who had been silent, suddenly shouted, and attracted the attention of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, Hua Xin grabbed Kang Peng's side and shouted: "Master Dong, dare to ask you if you are loyal to contribute to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty?" ”

This time, even Kang Peng was confused, and replied incorrectly: "Of course, of course, the prime minister is loyal and loyal in order to serve the country, and he only wants to share worries and solve problems for the saints." ”

"Nonsense! In my opinion, you are not loyal to Banzai at all! Even more disloyal to the Han River! You are the real thief! Hua Xin didn't know if he had eaten the leopard's gall, and suddenly scolded Kang Peng, which made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military dumbfounded, Lu Bu jumped like thunder, if it wasn't for Pang De hugging him to death, I was afraid that he would have rushed up and tore Hua Xin to pieces.

"Long live the disloyalty of the prime minister? Not loyal to the Han River? Kang Peng almost thought that his ears had heard it wrong, and he thought that the record of Hua Xin in the history books was completely wrong, and everyone also pricked up their ears and waited for Hua Xin's next words.

"That's right, you're being unfaithful!" Hua Xin roared: "Since the Emperor Ling, the Han Dynasty has successively had yellow turban thieves to disrupt the world, He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants have usurped power, set up a pseudo young emperor, ignore the will of the Ling Emperor, hundreds of officials are tied, and the three dukes are helpless, only Dong Taishi, you alone can set things right, suppress the power of the eunuchs, abolish the pseudo young emperor and support the emperor, the people of the Han Dynasty will finally see the light of day, the princes are deceived by traitors, attack you, you alone set up a banner to capture the princes, you can let go but not kill, the breadth of the mind, rare in ancient and modern times!" Later, he returned all the power to the young master, although Zhou Gong Jiang Shang was not as good! After all, you have to be blessed by God with the divine seed, with the power of the three states to gradually eliminate the thieves, and continuously exterminate Liu Biao, Liu Yan and other national thieves who are entrenched in Yijing Erzhou, but when you are about to finish, you intend to indulge Cao Cao, Sun Quan and other national thieves, and raise thieves with self-respect, what are you not a national thief? ”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it, and the more Kang Peng listened, the more confused he became, what about this and that? Kang Peng muttered: "Self-respecting self-respecting thief? Where does this begin? ”

"No self-respect for thieves?" Hua Xin sneered: "In the past, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, Han Xin, the king of Qi, held great power, helped Han to win, helped Chu to win, and deserved to be crowned King of Qi, but Han Xin did not want to be the king, only asked for the pseudo-King of Qi, in a vain attempt to divide the world, Gaozu Shengming Candlelight, immediately crowned Han Xin as the king of Qi, and finally made Han Xin return to his heart, help Han to break Chu together, and create the Han family world!" Master Dong, how similar is your current situation to Han Xin, helping the Han to prosper the Han Dynasty, and helping the thief to fall apart in the world, but you refuse to accept the prince, do you want the Han to sink forever? What is not a national thief? ”

If Boss Dong does not accept the prince, he is betraying the Han Dynasty and trying to cede the land and stand on his own?

Among the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, there is no lack of Hongxue and Confucianism, and there is no shortage of people who are full of poetry and books, but Hua Xin said this truth, they have not thought about it, and they dare not think about it, but if you think about the meaning of Hua Xin's words, it is not unreasonable, including Kang Peng also listened in a daze, as if he was ambitious and wanted to call the king and usurp the rebellion, but for the sake of the Han Dynasty. Only Jia Xu first understood that Hua Xin was secretly changing the concept, and quietly changed the concept of the ministers calling the king in an attempt to usurp the throne, and replaced the concept of calling the king in order to revitalize the rivers and mountains for the Han family.

"Taishi, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, in order to set things right, only if you are the king of Kang, long live can you rest assured that you can clear out the thieves, and you can justifiably obey the Central Plains of the Prancing Horse." Hua Xin also cried loudly, knelt down towards Kang Peng, kowtowed, and said, "Please ask the Taishi to wronged himself and become the king!" ”

Kang Peng also understood the meaning of Hua Xin's words that reversed black and white at this moment, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but the surface work still had to be done, and he was still shaking his head and crying bitterly, without saying a word. At this time, Jia Xu suddenly stabbed Lu Bu and Pang De, and shouted, "Don't you respectfully ask the Taishi to take the throne and become the king, and want to be a thief of the country?" After that, Jia Xu also knelt down in front of Kang Peng, kowtowed and cried: "Taishi, for the long-term peace and stability of the Han Dynasty, please be the king." ”

Lu Bu was still wondering what Jia Xu meant by stabbing him, and Pang De choked and pulled out his sword and shouted at the hundred officials: "Are you still obsessed? If you want to collude with Cao Thief, Sun Thief and others, in a vain attempt to tear my Han apart, try the sword in my hand first! Frightened by Pang De, the officials in the Luoyang court who were promoted by Li Ru immediately knelt in front of Kang Peng, chanting His Royal Highness King Kang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose, as for those ministers who were still hesitating, Lu Bu, who understood it, snatched their Yugui, pinched lightly with his five fingers, Yugui immediately turned into powder, and those hesitating ministers also knelt down in front of Kang Peng honestly, begging Kang Peng to take the throne and go to the throne.

"Don't force your appearance, don't force your appearance." Kang Peng still cried - because Emperor Han Xian hadn't spoken yet. And Hua Xin saw what Kang Peng meant, got up and bowed down in front of Emperor Han Xian, and cried: "Long live, the Taishi refuses to take the throne and claim the throne, all because the Taishi is loyal to Long Live the Golden Mouth, but as soon as the Long Live Chrysostom opens, the Taishi will definitely obey the order, long live the Lord, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, please crown the Taishi as the king." ”

Emperor Han Xian's nose was almost out of breath, and he knew in his heart that as long as Dong Zhuo was crowned king today, Dong Zhuo would dare to force him to give up the throne tomorrow, but he was squeezed here by Hua Xin's words, he refused to give Dong Zhuo the title of king at the moment, and he became a faint monarch who only considered himself and ignored the Han Dynasty, and for a while, Emperor Han Xian didn't know what to say.

Hua Xin saw that Emperor Han Xian didn't speak for a long time, so he suddenly straightened up, and said with a pale face: "Since Long Live doesn't care about the country and the society and refuses to be the Taishi, then the minister is offended." As soon as the words fell, Hua Xin suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Emperor Han Xian's collar, quickly took out a dagger from his arms and put it on Emperor Han Xian's neck, and shouted: "Long live, offended, long live and refuse to crown Taishi as the king, and the minister should die!" ”

Death advice, usually the emperor refused to accept the minister's opinion, the minister threatened suicide, forcing the emperor to seriously consider his proposal, but Hua Xin's death advice is very distinctive, shouting death advice, but the knife is on the neck of Emperor Han Xian. "Stop!" "What are you doing?" "Let go of the Holy One!" In the exclamations of Kang Peng and the civil and military officials, Lu Bu and Pang De rushed forward left and right, and beat the Imperial Forest Army who rushed to rescue Emperor Han Xian all over the ground, Dong Chong, the brother of Dong Boss, was originally the head of the Imperial Forest Army of Luoyang Palace, and with a wave of his hand, a group of Dong Zhuojun armed with knives and guns rushed to the main hall and immediately disarmed the Imperial Forest Army, including even Dong Erye's Second Master Army, one by one vividly showing off their might in the palace and making threats.

"Stop!" Kang Peng cried and said: "You are forcing the prime minister to be disloyal and unjust, you all stop the prime minister ......." "Boss Dong's order, which is usually like a holy decree to Dong Zhuojun, suddenly lost its effect at this moment, and Dong Zhuojun's soldiers were as if they were deaf, just forcing the Royal Forest Army away, and they didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.

"Hooray, if you don't give the order again, the minister will die in front of you." Hua Xin deserved to be Kang Peng's confidant at first sight, saying that he died in front of Emperor Han Xian, but the dagger in his hand pressed down a few points on Emperor Han Xian's neck, and a trace of blood quietly flowed down Emperor Han Xian's white and chubby neck.

"Aiqing, don't be impulsive, I'll make an order." Emperor Han Xian was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he said in a loud voice: "Taishi fought for me in the south and north of the Han River, worked hard, and became King Kang, which is well deserved, and I hope that Taishi will not be impulsive." ”

"No, no." The loyal Taishi Dong cried like a girl who had just been lost by **, and shook his head again and again: "Long live, the old minister doesn't dare to be it, the old minister is willing to disarm and return to the field, and he is not willing to do that disloyal and unrighteous thing." ”

"Aiqing, the Taishi refuses to accept the throne, what can I do?" Emperor Han Xian said helplessly to Hua Xin. "Your Majesty, please again." Hua Xin shouted, Emperor Han Xian's heart dripped, and persuaded Kang Peng to take the throne of King Kang, but Kang Peng still cried, and finally Hua Xin shouted: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, you need a great gift, if Your Majesty really makes Taishi the king, you can follow the ancients!" ”

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to leave the table and lead the ministers to kowtow to Kang Peng, and implore Kang Peng to take the throne as the prince and take charge of the affairs of the world. The loyal Dong Taishi was forced to be helpless, so he choked up and reluctantly accepted the throne of King Kang, and was scheduled to hold a ceremony in Chang'an after January, officially enthroned as king.

After Kang Peng's claim to be the king was decided, Dong Zhuojun was all smiling, knowing that his opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune was coming again, Lu Bu smirked even more, and secretly peeked into the position of King Kang's son. And Dong Taishi, it shouldn't be His Royal Highness King Kang who didn't wait for the official enthronement, immediately issued the first edict, and crowned Yuan Shao, the Duke of Qingzhou, as the first-class Rongguo Gong, and the great Sima, the prime minister of the world, Kang Peng knew very well that Yuan Shao loved the vain temper, and did not give him the sweet comfort of high-ranking officials and lords, he would definitely not approve of himself being the king, and he would change his neutral attitude towards Dong Zhuojun to hostile, only by temporarily stabilizing Yuan Shao and trying to provoke a decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Kang Peng would not have to worry.

That night, Kang Peng feasted in the military camp, and ninety percent of the officials of the imperial court went to Kang Peng's sycophancy, only Emperor Han Xian hid back in the deep palace and cried, knowing that the end was not far away, but Emperor Han Xian was unwilling to be restrained, took the white silk, bit his finger and wrote the famous edict, and quietly summoned Dong Cheng and asked him to carry it out of the palace......

At the same time, a white pigeon flew out of an ordinary house in Luoyang City, and unlike usual, this carrier pigeon did not fly to Chang'an, but to Qingzhou......
