In November, Luo Shaowei personally rushed to Xiangzhou to meet Zhu Quanzhong, and after a greeting, he found that Zhu Quanzhong was indeed very sick, not pretending to be sick and secretly plotting against his Weibo Liuzhou, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, although Zhu Quanzhong is really sick, it is not a matter for him to stay in Xiangzhou all the time, if one day Zhu Quanzhong is idle and bored and suddenly takes a fancy to Weibo Liuzhou and has the intention of annexation, it will not be good, so the best way is to send Zhu Quanzhong back to Bianzhou as soon as possible, or find a real big event to divert his attention.

Luo Shaowei immediately said to Zhu Quanzhong: "The king has been fighting in the east and west for 20 years, and he has shocked the world, and now although the great cause is not going well for the time being, the king's prestige has not been affected. Now Hedong Li Keyong, Huainan Yang Wu, Fengxiang Li Maozhen, Lu Long, Liu Rengong, etc., the reason why these feudal towns have repeatedly raised troops against the king is because now the Tang Dynasty still exists, and the Son of Heaven is still alive. It is better for the king to abolish the Son of Heaven and ascend the throne as emperor himself. In this way, all the feudal towns in the world have no excuse to crusade against the king, and naturally there will be no more troops! ”

Zhu Quanzhong fell ill this time, in fact, the reason is very simple, it is nothing more than the unfavorable war and his depressed mood.

Lying on the hospital bed these days, in addition to worrying about the war on all sides, there is another thing that has always been in his heart, and that is the matter of becoming the emperor on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.

Cao Cao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although he was scolded as a Han thief all his life, and was forced by the actual situation, it was impossible to return the rights to Emperor Han Xian, but he himself should actually have no idea of being the emperor.

But Zhu Quanzhong is different, deep down he has always had the idea of ascending the throne and becoming an emperor.

The reason why it was not implemented in the past was mainly because the time was not yet ripe, and there were still many feudal towns that opposed him in various places: Li Keyong, Li Maozhen, Yang Xingmi, etc., so he wanted to wait until these feudal towns were exterminated, or at least after these feudal towns were subdued, before becoming emperor.

This is undoubtedly a more rational idea, so he can still temporarily restrain his desire to be emperor. Hope.

However, with the successive defeats in the past year, the Huainan army was defeated one after another, and the power of Li Keyong, the king of Jin, was revived, and he himself was old and sick, and it was not clear how long he could live, in this case, the ambition of being the emperor could no longer be contained.

At this time, after listening to Luo Shaowei's straightforward persuasion, Zhu Quanzhong's heart suddenly moved, but on the bright side, he pretended to refuse: "Is King Ye preparing to trap me in injustice?" In the past year, he was deeply favored by the first emperor, so that he was able to clear the charge of being a thief and not disgrace his ancestors; Even the name of Lone was given by the first emperor. How can Lone do something to be sorry for the emperor now? This matter must not be mentioned again! ”

Luo Shaowei looked at his face, immediately knew his intentions, and immediately persuaded: "Although the first emperor and the king are gracious, they have no virtue for the people of the world, which makes the world chaotic and the people are miserable. The king of Weijia Hainai, in addition to the disobedient feudal towns in various places, and now the Central Plains has been pacified, and the people have been able to live in peace, these are the merits of the king, and they have nothing to do with the Son of Heaven. If the king is the emperor of the country, it is the will of heaven, and please don't shirk the king! ”

……

Although Zhu Quanzhong had already had the idea of usurping the throne and becoming emperor in his heart, the necessary face had to be taken into account.

Since Wang Mang won the throne from the Han Dynasty Chan Rang, first sealed the big country, added nine tin, and awarded the honor of "sword walking on the hall, praise and worship the nameless", and then accept the Zen concession, it has become the "standard process" of the usurpation of the ministers in later generations, Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Zhao are doing this, and later the founding emperor of the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties of the Southern Dynasty also received the etiquette of "nine tin".

And some ministers in the DPRK and China originally planned to do the same, but they did not expect to arouse Zhu Quanzhong's great dissatisfaction, so that many ministers fell to the ground.

Now that Zhu Quanzhong wants to ascend the throne, he naturally can't use the past process, otherwise he will be slapped in the face.

If you can't use the past process, you can only use the new process, but you can't always come forward in person when you ascend the throne and become emperor, someone must come and ask him to ascend the throne, and then he repeatedly refused, and finally ascended the throne at the request of everyone.

In this way, he can show that his victory is the will of the people, and everyone returns, not the son of heaven who was crowned by the grass kings themselves.

Although Zhu Quanzhong was anxious to become the emperor, this basic process could not be ignored.

Therefore, although he rejected Luo Shaowei's words of persuasion, he made it clear at the end: "You persuade Gu to ascend the throne and become emperor, but what if everyone in the world comes out to oppose it?" ”

Luo Shaowei suddenly understood that his words of persuasion had been listened to by Zhu Quanzhong, and as for the various refusals he said, it boiled down to one meaning: I don't want to be the emperor, but I want you to persuade me to be the emperor together!

After understanding Zhu Quanzhong's intentions, Luo Shaowei no longer advised, took his leave and left.

Soon after, Luo Shaowei made a message to the Son of Heaven in Weizhou, asking the Son of Heaven to cede to Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Liang, in order to conform to the hearts of the people.

After Luo Shaowei made a speech to the Son of Heaven, all the officials in the court came to their senses at the same time and wrote to the Son of Heaven, asking the Son of Heaven to concede.

Today's Tang Dynasty Emperor is not yet an adult, just a puppet set up by Zhu Quanzhong, and he has no power at all.

However, at this time, apart from obediently obeying Zhu Quanzhong's arrangement in order to save his life, there was not much else he could do.

In early December, Zhu Quanzhong's condition improved, and he immediately set off for the south and returned to Bianzhou.

Soon, the Son of Heaven sent Xue Yiju, the imperial historian, to Bianzhou to inquire about Zhu Quanzhong's condition and offer condolences.

When Xue Yiju met Zhu Quanzhong in person, he took the initiative to ask for a courtier to meet the monarch, and offered the specific plan of the Chan Dynasty.

Xue Yiju's actions really won Zhu Quanzhong's favor, and his proposal for the Chan Dynasty also won Zhu Quanzhong's approval.

When Xue Yiju returned to Luoyang to resume his life, he showed the Son of Heaven that Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Liang, had the intention of receiving Zen. The Son of Heaven immediately issued an edict and scheduled to officially hold the Zen Concession Ceremony in the first month of next year.

After the news broke, the feudal towns in various regions shook and began to agree on their own choices for this momentous change.

Needless to say, Wei Bo's plan to make Luo Shaowei go without saying that this Zen concession was originally initiated by him, and now his goal has been achieved, Zhu Quanzhong's attention was attracted by the major event of ascending the throne and becoming emperor, and he had no idea of seizing Wei Bo for the time being.

"The Tang Dynasty has been established for more than 280 years, and it has long been decayed, and no one in the feudal towns still takes the Son of Heaven seriously. So whether this Datang will continue to exist or end here, and what does it have to do with loneliness? As long as I can continue to be my Weibo Festival envoy! ”

Also holding the same idea as Luo Shaowei are the Chengde Jiedu Wang Rong and the Yiwu Jiedu Wang Zhizhi.

In fact, whether it is Wei Bo, or Chengde, Yiwu, these three feudal towns are all feudal towns that fell out with the Tang Dynasty court more than a hundred years ago, they nominally belong to the Tang Dynasty, but they have long been on their own.

Therefore, they naturally do not have the slightest loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and they have no ambition to dominate the world, as long as their interests are not harmed, it has nothing to do with them as to who will be the Son of Heaven.

After Luo Shaowei took the lead in persuading, Wang Rong and Wang Chuzhi also followed up and wrote to persuade them.

In addition, Ma Yin, the envoy of Wu'an Jiedu in Hunan, and Qinghai Jiedu, who was in Lingnan, also sent a letter to the imperial court to persuade the Son of Heaven to make Chan Rang after learning that various places began to persuade Zhu Quanzhong to ascend the throne.

However, except for these relatively weak feudal towns, the other powerful feudal towns condemned Zhu Quanzhong's usurpation.

However, apart from condemnation, there was no specific action, which seemed to acquiesce to Zhu Quanzhong's usurpation.

In the city of Guangling.

At this time, Huainan's affairs were still going on as usual, and there was no change in the slightest because Zhu Quanzhong was about to usurp the throne.

For Yang Wu, Zhu Quanzhong's usurpation of the throne is actually not a bad thing, but a good thing.

After all, if the Tang Dynasty did not die, he would not be able to build a country and be respected as a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and many things would also be constrained and could not be implemented.

Therefore, Zhu Quanzhong's usurpation should be a good thing for him, and perhaps other feudal towns such as Li Keyong, Wang Jian and others also thought so, so they all acquiesced to Zhu Quanzhong's usurpation.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty should have perished when Huangchao rebelled decades ago, but many feudal towns sent troops together for the sake of common interests, which extinguished Huangchao's rebel army.

At that time, the power of the various feudal towns was relatively balanced, and there were no particularly strong forces, so the major feudal towns needed a co-lord to act as a buffer between the feudal towns.

But now, feudal towns such as Li Keyong and Yang Wu are strong enough, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty court is now lost, and it can no longer play its due role, but will affect their interests, so they will acquiesce to Zhu Quanzhong's behavior.

Of course, don't look at these feudal towns are now secretly acquiescing to Zhu Quanzhong's usurpation, and when he destroys the Tang Dynasty in the future and ascends to the emperor's throne, the major feudal towns will definitely use this as a reason to deal with him, and now they are just using him first.

"Since Zhu Quanzhong is still ready to usurp the throne and stand on his own feet as he did in history, then the plan I made for Jiangxi before can now be implemented!"

Yang Wu had already prepared a big plan in his heart to deal with many feudal towns in the south, but it had to be implemented with a suitable opportunity, and Zhu Quanzhong's usurpation provided him with this opportunity.
