Chapter 325: The Old Minister Sheds Tears (Fourth Update)
After night slowly fell, in the grand main hall of the Great General's Mansion, which was at least three times wider than the Youzhou Thorn Mansion, I saw that the dinner party had been prepared, and the ministers were chatting in piles, waiting for Yuan Xi's arrival.
As the hour slowly approached, a shout of respect suddenly rang out.
"Three adults, please!"
I only heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from behind me, and when the ministers looked back curiously, many people's faces immediately showed a trace of surprise, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Chen Lin, the three imprisoned old ministers, actually slowly appeared in front of them, and the former Jixian County, and now Yecheng Taishou Lu Yu is leading the way in front.
"Yuan Tu, Zhong Zhi, Kong Zhang, you are here" Tian Feng glanced at it, and immediately walked over with Xun Kan, Li Ru, and Han Yan, and said happily.
After the three of them smiled bitterly, they clasped their fists and said, "Thank you Xiangguo for rescuing"
Lu Yu had already told them that it was Tian Feng who suggested to the king and let them attend together, remembering that the status that was once equal to the top and bottom was now the difference between heaven and earth, and his heart could not help but be a little decadent, the winner is the king, the loser is the villain, the eldest prince and the third prince are completely defeated, which also means that no matter how hard they work in the future, it is impossible to surpass Tian Feng.
"What's polite to you, come, come, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Lianglu, the king's military advisor, and the right minister in the near future, the Privy Council of the Consulate General" Tian Feng pointed to Li Ru and introduced.
"Three adults, it's polite," Li Ru smiled and took the lead in giving a salute.
After the three of them returned the salute, they were a little surprised in their hearts, this is Yuan Xi's military advisor, the first adviser, it seems that he is the one who helped Yuan Xi ascend to the sky in one step.
"You should be familiar with this one, Zipei, the future Shang Shuling, in charge of internal affairs, the arm of the king!" Tian Feng pointed at Han Yan again.
"Three adults, long time no see," Han Yan smiled.
The three of them nodded bitterly, they were more familiar with Han Yan than any other, or did they let Yuan Shao leave it to the auxiliary ministers of Youzhou to stabilize Youzhou, but they didn't expect that this auxiliary minister would directly lift Yuan Xi to the throne and shatter their former illusions.
Looking at the three people who were still a little uncomfortable, Xun Kan opened his mouth and comforted: "Yuan Tu, Zhong Zhi, Kong Zhang, everything has passed, and now a new page has been turned in the north, and the king's banquet to you means that the king trusts you."
"Thank you, Lord Xun," the three of them said gratefully.
At this time, an attendant suddenly appeared on the high platform, and said loudly with a straight face: "All the ministers welcome you"
Hearing this, Tian Feng immediately said: "The king is coming, everyone stands in their respective positions"
"No!"
As Wenwu immediately divided into two factions, they stood up one by one, and Xin Ping and the three of them were a little embarrassed, they were naturally standing in front before, but now they really don't know where to stand.
"Three adults, come here" I saw Han Yan suddenly point to a clearing above him, Tian Feng, and Xun Kan and shouted.
Everyone was shocked, it seemed that the king was going to reactivate the three of them, Xin Ping and the three of them also shrank their pupils, and then excitement appeared in their hearts, and after gratitude, they all stood in front of Han Yan, Tian Feng turned his head and smiled.
However, there were also many people with displeasure on their faces, feeling that they were no longer qualified to stand in that position, but Han Yan and Tian Feng had no opinion, Liang Yuan, the right minister, Yuan Ping, Wen Chou, Yan Rou, Zhao Yun, these generals also smiled and nodded, they naturally did not dare to express their opinions at will, they could only calculate in their hearts in the future.
The imperial court is a big dye vat, and it is impossible to want everyone to be of one heart and one mind, which requires the control of the emperor.
With the sound of gentle footsteps, I saw the waiter shouting: "King, arrive"
"Meet the king," shouted the ministers.
Yuan Xi, who was wearing a gorgeous costume and a golden crown, took Liu Quan and slowly walked up to the high platform, looking at the throne that his father had once sat on, commanding the four continents, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan coveted, he walked over gently, stroked it, sat down slowly, looked at the full hall of civil and military affairs condescendingly, waved his hand slightly, and said: "No courtesy"
"King Xie" The ministers immediately stood up.
Looking at the Xin Ping, Feng Ji, and Chen Lin, who were standing behind Tian Feng and secretly watching him, Yuan Xi smiled and nodded, and the faces of the three suddenly showed a trace of excitement, at this moment they didn't want to have any plans to re-put the other two sons on the throne, Yuan Xi not only had Yuan Shao's suicide note, but also the Son of Heaven Mingzhao, the general guarded, and hundreds of thousands of troops on the side, and more importantly, he defeated Cao Cao and occupied the land of Sanzhou, Qingzhou is estimated to be recovered soon, and the time and place are favorable. The other two sons will not have a little chance, and they can only think about themselves and their families at this time.
"Today is a gathering with everyone, don't be too restrained, let's all sit," Yuan Xi said.
"King Xie" according to the position, after everyone sat down one by one, the wine and delicacies were immediately put up, and Liu Quan slowly put a glass of water in front of Yuan Xi, he had to serve filial piety for seven days, so he couldn't drink.
Looking at the ministers who were waiting for the words of the dinner party, Yuan Xi slowly stood up, raised his wine glass with a longing face, and said loudly:
"Zhuqing, Lone today twenty out of seven, ascending to the throne, commanding the four continents, under the command of millions of Li people, thousands of generals, can be described as the peak of a while, but all this is not the credit of Lone, it is the first king to overcome thorns and thorns, bloody battles, leading the division of a hundred battles, after countless hardships and dangers, let go of the creation, extinguish the Yellow Turban, ask Dong Zhuo, retreat Han Fu, destroy Gongsun, stabilize Wuhuan, deter Liaodong, its great achievements are admirable, the battle of Guandu, because of Xu Yu's betrayal, and let the first king hate it, but this does not affect the nobility of the first king, it is really because the first king created this brilliant foundation, Lone can fight the second war, Lone can defeat Cao Cao, Lone can capture Xudu, Lone! I miss the king."
Hearing this, many of the former general's courtiers suddenly lowered their heads, and Xin Ping, Feng Ji, and Chen Lin were full of tears, trying their best to suppress not crying, looking at the majestic figure on the high platform, they seemed to see Yuan Shao galloping across the four continents, looking up to the sky and smiling, full of pride, endless shame and sadness suddenly appeared in their hearts, since Yuan Shao unified the four continents, they seem to have forgotten the original intention of their youth, to assist the Ming Lord to calm the troubled times, but all fell into intrigue.
"The first king was kind to his ministers, and his son was affectionate" Yuan Xi continued to say here, he was already warm in his heart, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said: "Without the first king, there would be no loneliness today, and the loneliness must inherit the last wish of the previous king, recover the Central Plains, and rule the world."
"Regain the Central Plains and dominate the world" Hearing this, the ministers immediately shouted loudly.
Yuan Xi held a glass of water, looked at the night sky outside the main gate, and murmured: "Father, my son will definitely inherit your great cause and create an immortal country that belongs to my Yuan family, and my father bless the child."
"Dry," Yuan Xi said loudly.
"Ancestor King, be with the sky" A huge shout rang out, echoing in the night sky of the entire Great General's Mansion.
