Chapter 10: The Sword of the Son of Heaven
At this time, Wang Li had already entered the main hall with the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand, and the ministers returned to both sides of the hall to give way, and when they reached the front of the steps, Wang Li stopped moving forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the sword of the Son of Heaven is here!" ”
Liu Rong walked down the steps and snatched the sword of the Son of Heaven, pulled it out, only to hear the sound of the sword echoing, only to see the sword light flickering. Then he closed the sword and raised his head and said sharply, "This sword is the sword of the first emperor, follow the first emperor and fight on the battlefield, it is called the sword of the Son of Heaven." Now I give it to the prime minister, and if the prime minister holds this sword in the future, it will not be my relatives to obey the edict! If the prime minister uses this sword in exchange, even if I am close to him, he will not be edicted! ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, and he knelt down. exclaimed, "Your Majesty this, this, this," and then kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare!" ”
The rest of the ministers are even more incredible. You must know that the holy decree is the highest decree in the world today, and a disobedience to the decree is like a mountain, pressing on a person, no matter whether this person is a prince or nobleman or a powerful minister, whether he is loyal or traitorous, it is enough to crush him.
Now the emperor has given the Son of Heaven sword, it can be said that the Shu State is full of people, except for the emperor, no one can restrain Zhuge Liang, and there is a chance that even if the emperor is in person, he can not obey the order, try to ask since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the Han dynasty has lasted for more than 400 years, and no emperor has done this. Looking at the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for nearly 600 years, no king dared to do so.
If the previous move to seal Zhao Yun was just a surprise to the ministers, then this move was to shake the Manchu Dynasty.
Shang Shu ordered Li Yan to say, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this move is inappropriate, there is a way for the king to be a minister, how can there be a reason not to be called by a courtier?" ”
"Your Majesty, what Li Shangshu said is good, the minister reconsiders!"
Liu Rong remembered that person, his name was Fa Miao.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
For a time, many courtiers asked the emperor to see the posture and vowed to ask the emperor to take back his fate. Even some of the generals who supported Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition were the same.
Zhuge Liang also said, "The minister also feels inappropriate, the minister is ordered by the first emperor to assist His Majesty, Your Majesty is the king, if the minister receives the sword of the Son of Heaven, won't it mess up the monarch and the minister?" Please take back your order! ”
"Please take back your order!" With Zhuge Liang taking the lead, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all bowed to the ground and asked for their lives.
Liu Rong laughed and said, "Since ancient times, how many kings have been suspicious of their courtiers, and it is clear that the courtiers have no rebellious heart, but they are so suspicious that they force the courtiers to rebel!" If the king can give more trust to his courtiers, will these courtiers in history be opposed? I am now granting the Prime Minister the Sword of the Son of Heaven to let you understand that I am also aiming for the Northern Expedition, and the situation of the battlefield is changing rapidly, which is far from being able to understand by me sitting thousands of miles away. This sword of the Son of Heaven also reassures the generals that they will not delay the military plane because of my will. And the courtiers are also frightened all the time, afraid that one day they will be persecuted by the king. ”
Liu Rong looked around and said, "I tell you that I am not afraid of high merit, and I don't believe that you Aiqing are the kind of people who rely on merit to bully the lord and destroy the king. Therefore, the general of mine only wants to fight bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy and expand the territory. I am a civil servant, and I have also made meritorious deeds in governing every piece of land that the generals have conquered. With both civil and military skills, why worry about big things! At that time, the meritorious ones will be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister, and the wife and shadow will be crowned, and I will join hands with you to see China! The prestige of the Qing Dynasty will be left in history for future generations to admire! ”
"This ......"
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all trapped in a beautiful vision. Although Shu Han is a country, but actually in a corner, if one day, can reach the prestige of the Han Dynasty, then it is called mighty and domineering......
"What is a king, what is a minister? I dare to ask you, can Shu Han be a country without you? No! Today's prime minister is a genius through the ages, wielding the Northern Expedition, which is expected to boost the prestige of my Shu Han, can't I trust the prime minister once? ”
After speaking, Liu Rong threw out the sword of the Son of Heaven and asked, "Father, do you dare to take the sword?" ”
"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed and said, "Thinking that my Zhuge Kongming had the first emperor to know, I felt that this life was enough, who would have expected that Your Majesty still trusted your subordinates so much, Your Majesty's words are touching." Your Majesty treats the ministers like this, and the ministers are in tears! ”
As he spoke, he raised his hands and said, "The minister takes the sword!" ”
"Good!" Liu Rong slowly put the sword of the Son of Heaven into Zhuge Liang's hand and said, "I am willing to work with the prime minister to create a career together, and leave a good story of harmony between monarchs and ministers in the world!" ”
Zhuge Liang raised the sword of the Son of Heaven and kowtowed, "Your Majesty is a true saint, this courage alone is rare in history, even if it is Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, Han Gaozu Liu Bang, and Han Wu Emperor Liu Che are all incomparable to my emperor!" Chen Liang swears by my Zhuge clan, and he will do his best in this life to be loyal to His Majesty and strive for the recovery of His Majesty's Han Dynasty. ”
Since Zhuge Liang, someone immediately met the Tao, "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers will serve Your Majesty!" ”
In the end, there was only one voice left, and all the ministers shouted in unison, "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers will position Your Majesty to serve!" ”
Liu Rong was overjoyed, this equivalent sound of life is more fascinating than the mechanical sound of the mountain. Suddenly, I felt that this change was worth it, and I felt that I was much luckier than other traversers.
And with Zhuge Liang's oath today, no matter how high his merit is and how great his potential is in the future, he will not be able to replace himself in his lifetime. As for the others, Liu Rong can guarantee that they can't fight Zhuge Liang together, so don't worry! Besides, he is a person who has crossed over, and he can't fight Zhuge Liang, if he can't even fight others, then it's better to die, and he will be reborn in vain.
The shouting stopped, and a courtier came out and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! His Majesty's words were like an initiation, which made people suddenly open. It's just that the minister doesn't know something, I don't know if I can show it? ”
Liu Rong looked at it, this person was not among Zhuge Liang's soldiers, so he couldn't recognize this person.
asked, "What doubts does Aiqing have?" ”
The man asked, "Your Majesty's words today are vastly different from before, and the ministers know the temperament of people, although they are not unswerving until death, but they are by no means changeable in a short period of time!" Also, the minister believes that the minister's doubts are all your doubts, and please show your majesty! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, the ministers and others are in doubt, please show your Majesty! Zhuge Liang said. Compared with others, the doubts in his heart are the best, you must know that he has experienced three things, which can fully reflect that the emperor has changed.
"Your sister, it's really better to keep a low profile! Is this suspicious? The ancients were not foolish! Liu Rong's eyes rolled, and he secretly said in his heart, "However, I don't believe you can guess that I came from time in time." ”
