"How did Mr. Sun speak? Now that the king is powerful in the world, our army is enough to defeat any enemy, how can it come to your mouth, it seems that our country has reached the verge of destruction? ”

"That is, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Didn't you see that some time ago, even the king of Jin, Li Cunmiao, could only obediently withdraw his troops after receiving the king's letter? ”

"There is also the Khitan Yelu Abaoji, who has not been in the prison for two or three years, which is obviously shocked by the prestige of the king!"

"The king is now at his peak, but the situation has become critical in your mouth, Mr. Sun, what are your intentions?"

……

Hearing Sun He's advice, those who were originally echoing and flattering Liu Shouguang immediately laughed, and did their best to belittle Sun He.

It's no wonder that there are not many people in Yan Kingdom who dare to tell the truth today, and this Sun He is one of them.

In the past, they believed that they were Liu Shouguang's cronies, and they did a lot of illegal things, but Sun He often said bad things about them in front of Liu Shouguang, and also persuaded Liu Shouguang to kill all of them villains in order to correct the dynasty.

The relationship between the two parties has long been very tense, and now that they have the opportunity, these cronies will naturally not let go of the opportunity to slander.

Liu Shouguang was originally extremely dissatisfied with Sun He's words, and was even more annoyed after listening to the slanderous rumors of his cronies.

Fortunately, he was not completely confused, and he knew that Sun He was for his good, so he barely held back the anger in his heart, and said unhappily: "Now is not the time to be the emperor, so you say, when is the time to be the emperor?" ”

Sun He took a deep breath, bowed down to Liu Shouguang, and replied solemnly: "If the king can appease the people, rest with the people, train the army, accumulate grain and grass, and practice virtue, the forces of the Quartet will naturally submit to the king, and then the time will be ripe for the king to become the emperor!" ”

Liu Shouguang said angrily: "Are you a fool to be alone? If the cultivation of virtue can make the Quartet surrender, then what is the use of the army? Such pedantic words are really disgusting! ”

He was already a little fed up with Sun He, but the government affairs of the Yan Wangfu usually needed people like Sun He to deal with it, so he was more tolerant, but this did not mean that his tolerance was unlimited, at least at this time he was almost at the limit of tolerance.

Seeing that Sun He's face was resolute, he was about to continue to speak, and immediately reprimanded: "Don't retreat yet!" ”

Sun He's heart was cold, knowing that all his loyalty was in vain, and if he continued to admonish, he was afraid that he would really lose his head.

On the side, Feng Dao also whispered: "Mr. Sun, this is not the time to hold on, let's retreat first!" The king still only has the idea of becoming an emperor, and it will take time to implement it, so we can slowly figure out a way! ”

Sun He could only shake his head and sigh when he heard this, and retreated with a dejected face.

"Mr. Sun has worked hard, but he has fallen into such a situation, and with his character, he will definitely speak out again in the future, and he is afraid that his life will really be lost when the time comes! But when the time comes, how do I choose? ”

After Sun He retreated, although Feng Dao was still listening to Liu Shouguang and the others continue to discuss, his mind was no longer here.

Strictly speaking, the current Yan King Liu Shouguang's strength is indeed much stronger than him in history.

The historical Yan State, at the end of the Liu Rengong era, was attacked by Zhu Wen many times.

You must know that Zhu Wen at that time was the most powerful period, and there was no force in the world that could compare with it.

Under the attack of the Liang army, Liu Rengong was defeated again and again, and tens of thousands of soldiers were lost.

In the end, in desperation, Liu Rengong mobilized the people of Youzhou as soldiers, and tattooed the faces of the recruited soldiers to prevent them from escaping.

Through this method, Liu Rengong temporarily recruited an army of 100,000 people, which temporarily withstood the attack of the Liang army, but it was beyond his strength to repel the Liang army.

So in this case, Liu Rengong had no choice but to ask his enemy Li Keyong for help.

Li Keyong was reluctant to send troops to rescue, but Li Cunqiao persuaded him with the truth that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, and finally Li Keyong sent troops to capture Luzhou, which led to the later Battle of Luzhou.

However, because of a series of blows by the Huainan Army, the current Liang State has no time to use troops against Liu Rengong, which leads to the fact that the strength of the Yan State is stronger than in history, and Liu Shouguang's ambition is naturally greater.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since everyone thinks that the time is ripe to become emperor, then do you think that Lone should choose which day to hold the enthronement ceremony?"

"King, this matter of being called an emperor, the minister thinks that the sooner the better."

"King, it's July now, and the minister thinks it's good to put the time in the next month, and the specific time can be decided by asking the master of Baiyunguan to divinate first!"

When Feng Dao woke up from his thoughts, what he heard was that Liu Shouguang and the others were discussing the specific time of becoming the emperor.

"Now start discussing the specific time of becoming emperor? This is too anxious, right? ”

He was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said euphemistically: "King, although that Sun He is talking nonsense and is a little ignorant of current affairs, his words cannot be completely ignored. Now that all forces are eyeing each other, even if the king wants to be the emperor, he must first test the attitude of these people! ”

Although Feng Dao is also a very capable person, his personality is much more sleek than Sun He, so he naturally knows that forcibly admonishing at this time will only lose his head.

So in desperation, he could only find a way to delay the time first.

When Liu Shouguang and the others heard this, they all felt that it made sense.

"Yes, if you are the emperor, you really have to take into account the reactions of others; And if Lone is the emperor, but no feudal town comes to surrender, this emperor is not interesting. Liu Shouguang's eyes lit up and he whispered to himself.

At this time, Yuan Xingqin stood up and said: "The king, in the opinion of a minister, it is too direct to directly ask other feudal towns about becoming emperor. ”

"So the minister thinks that it is better to send someone to Ding, Zhen Erzhou first, so that Wang Rong, the king of Zhao, and Wang Chuzhi, the king of Beiping, will respect the king as his father, if they agree, it will naturally be much easier for the king to be called the emperor in the future, and it will not be too sudden."

Liu Shouguang said happily: "What General Yuan said is extremely true, it is indeed best to have the name of Shangfu before becoming emperor!" ”

The other cronies also nodded in agreement.

Under the bewitchment of his cronies, Liu Shouguang quickly decided to send envoys to Dingzhou and Zhenzhou, asking Wang Rong and Wang Chuzhi to respect him as "Shang's father".

In the city of Jinyang.

"Bastard! This Liu Shouguang is so bold and daring to ask King Zhao to respect him as his father, what is he Liu Shouguang, and he dares to do such a delusion? ”

After Wang Rong and the others got Liu Shouguang's letter, they were naturally shocked, and hurriedly sent someone to tell Li Cunxuan the news.

Although Wang Rong's strength is not very good, he is the same generation as Li Keyong in terms of seniority, so when Li Cunqiao meets with Wang Rong, he often calls him "uncle" and is extremely polite to him.

Now Liu Shouguang actually wants Wang Rong to respect him as "Shang's father", so if he counts him, isn't Li Cunmiao a generation lowered?

Annoyed and angry, Li Cunxuan even gathered the generals and prepared to discuss sending troops to attack Liu Shouguang.

"The king is angry, in the opinion of the minister, this should not be the time to crusade against Liu Shouguang. Although Liu Shouguang has no way, the strength of Yan is relatively strong, and even if our army can win a rash battle with him, I am afraid that there will be a lot of losses! Zhang Chengye first stood up and persuaded.

Li Cunmiao's face sank when he heard this, but he didn't say anything about sending troops, but frowned and asked: "Zhang Jianjun, do you think this is not the time to crusade against Liu Shouguang, so when is the time to crusade against him?" Will it have to wait until he becomes emperor? ”

What he didn't expect was that Zhang Chengye nodded directly and said: "Yes, it is precisely when Liu Shouguang becomes emperor that he will crusade against him!" ”

Li Cunqiao was thoughtful.

At this time, Li Siyuan spoke: "King, this Liu Shouguang has done all kinds of evil in Youzhou, and it is not enough to calm the anger of the people if he does not destroy his entire family. ”

"Therefore, the minister thinks that the king should not only not crusade against him at this time, but should continue to encourage him to do evil, and when his viciousness reaches the extreme, it will be easy to crusade against him again!"

Li Cunzhang said with a smile: "The minister agrees with the two of them, Liu Shouguang's ambition to be the emperor is obvious, so the king might as well pretend to respect him as his father at this time, so that he will be even more arrogant and complacent." After he becomes emperor, the king will send troops to fight, and it will be a lot easier at that time! ”

Li Cunmiao also figured out the truth at this time, and immediately laughed and said: "Yes, what you said is indeed this truth. In this case, then Lone will let him be proud for the time being, as long as he can be completely eliminated, what can he do if he is honored as a father? ”

Soon, in the name of the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, Li Cunmiao united with the Yiwu Jiedu envoy Wang Chuzhi, the Chengde Jiedu envoy Wang Rong, the Zhaoyi Jiedu envoy Li Sizhao, the Zhenwu Jiedu envoy Zhou Dewei, and the Tiande Jiedu envoy Song Yao, and the six major feudal towns came forward together to honor Liu Shouguang as Shangshuling and Shang's father.

These Jiedu envoys and Liu Shouguang, the king of Yan, are now nominally respecting the Tang Dynasty as orthodox, so they have so many feudal towns to come forward together, if the Tang Dynasty still exists, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty emperor can really order Liu Shouguang to be honored as the father.

So after the news reached Youzhou, Liu Shouguang was overjoyed, thinking that the six major feudal towns were afraid of him, so he obediently respected himself as his father according to his own requirements.

Liu Shouguang, who was full of joy, did not doubt that he had him, and immediately ordered many subordinate officials of the Yan Wangfu to begin to prepare for the canonization ceremony of Shang's father and Shang Shuling.

Soon, Wang Tong, the envoy of the Pavilion Gate, and Shi Yanqun, the envoy of the Chongzheng Yuan, and others dedicated the ceremony of canonizing the Taiwei in the Tang Dynasty to Liu Shouguang.

Although the title of Shangfu is respected, it is not much different from that of Taiwei, so it is appropriate to canonize Shangfu with the ceremony of canonizing Taiwei.

After Liu Shouguang saw it, he asked: "I have seen this ceremony alone, and there is no problem in other places, but why is there no matter of worshipping the heavens in the southern suburbs and changing the year name?" ”

"Great King, although Father Shang is respected, he is also a vassal of the Son of Heaven, how can he do the things of worshipping the heavens in the southern suburbs and changing the name of the era?"

"Presumptuous!" Liu Shouguang was furious, threw the book on the ground and said: "Lone's territory is two thousand miles, and there are 300,000 people with armor, even if Lone is directly the Son of Heaven, who in the world can control me?" ”

Seeing that Wang Tong and the others were pale and did not answer immediately, he immediately became even more annoyed, and immediately ordered all these people to be imprisoned.

He also ordered the others to prepare for the enthronement of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, Liu Shouguang's mind has been completely occupied by the emperor, so why is he willing to wait longer?

So this time, whether it was a straightforward admonition like Sun He, or a roundabout admonition like Feng Dao, they were all reprimanded by Liu Shouguang.

He said that the emperor's determination had been decided, and no one could persuade him.

……

In the city of Luoyang, the envoy of Heyang Festival and the king of Wei, Zhang Quanyi, was in the house.

"Father, that old thief is too deceitful, the child is going to kill him, if there is any disaster afterwards, the child is willing to bear it himself, and ask his father for permission!" The person who spoke was Zhang Quanyi's eldest son Zhang Jizuo.

As for the old thief in his mouth, it is none other than the current Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang.

Some time ago, Zhu Wen planned to send troops to attack Wang Rong, but he fell seriously ill halfway through and could only return in vain.

After returning to Luoyang to finally recover from his illness, the time was already July, the weather was hot, Zhu Wen was fat and fat, and he couldn't withstand the heat, and he happened to hear that Zhang Quanyi's house was full of trees, relatively shady, and a good place to escape the heat, so Zhu Wen lived in Zhang Quanyi's house.

The Son of Heaven is lucky, this should have been the honor of the Zhang family, and Zhang Quanyi's family was also very excited at the beginning.

Who knows that the older Zhu Wen is, the more lustful he is.

After living in Zhang's house for a period of time, he was fortunate to have all the daughters of the Zhang family, that is, Zhang Quanyi's wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, etc.

Although Zhang Quanyi used to be a hero, but now that he is old, he has no momentum, and he only thinks about self-preservation, so he endures these things.

But his eldest son Zhang Jizuo is young and vigorous after all, how can he tolerate this?

What's more, the women who were fortunate by Zhu Wen included his mother and wife, which was a great shame for him.

So he immediately found his guards and asked them to secretly prepare swords, bows, crossbows, etc., preparing to launch a mutiny and kill Zhu Wen.

It's a pity that Zhang Quanyi is old after all, although he is also extremely angry in his heart, he is determined to tolerate it to the end.

Hearing his son's murderous words, Zhang Quanyi also had anger flashing in his heart, but his face was not obvious at all.

"Not to mention that now our Zhang Mansion is full of His Majesty's guards, and the guards are extremely strict, and ordinary people can't enter at all, let alone kill him."

"Even if you have a chance to kill him, but what about after you kill him?" Zhang Quanyi said coldly.

"The child just said, what consequences are the children willing to bear alone, and they will never implicate the Zhang family!" Zhang Jizuo said solemnly.

"Alone? Won't it implicate my Zhang family? Hehe, responsible, courageous! Sure enough, it's a man! But whether this is implicated or not, is it up to you to decide? Zhang Quanyi sneered.
