Chapter 516: Scheming of all parties
Liu Yong hesitated, whether to accept or not accept the title of the king of Chu is really a headache.
All his subordinates naturally hope that he will come next, then everyone's official positions will naturally be promoted, which is something they desperately hope for, but for Liu Yong, it is indeed a double-edged sword, which can make him have an absolute prestige identity, and many things will no longer be obstacles, but at the same time, it will also completely become a thorn in the eyes of the princes of the world, a thorn in the flesh, not only Cao Cao, Ma Teng, and Han Sui will be targeted, but even the brother-in-law Sun Quan will secretly and without hesitation.
Although he knew that what Fa Zheng said was right, there were indeed pros and cons, but whether the pros outweighed the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweighed the pros, Liu Yong had to think and weigh for himself.
On the second day, Liu Yong summoned the yellow gate again in the main hall.
The yellow gate became more and more respectful, in the face of Liu Yong, who was now like a rainbow, he didn't dare to be careless at all, if he couldn't let Liu Yong accept the canonization of the prince, when he returned to Yecheng, it would be the time when his head fell to the ground.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor has high hopes for you, he always hopes that you can defeat Cao Cao as soon as possible, dominate the world, and save him from fire and water, and I hope that His Royal Highness can understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, this prince is also the only help he can do for you!"
If Liu Yong doesn't accept it, it means that he doesn't want to save the Han Emperor, and it is a big crime of disloyalty and injustice.
Liu Yong sneered in his heart, Cao Cao was really good at calculating, so he had no way out. Liu Yong looked at Pang Tong, Tian Feng and Fa Zheng.
Pang Tong immediately came out and said: "My lord, the emperor is deeply under the control of Cao Cao, as courtiers, we should share the emperor's worries, even if we are criticized by some people who don't know the truth, it is also the duty of courtiers!" ”
After Pang Tong finished speaking, he deliberately turned his head to look at Tian Feng, although Tian Feng's official position was not high, he was highly respected by Liu Yong, so his words were also very weighty.
"Lord, Feng thinks that what Shi Yuan said is not unreasonable, even if the lord is criticized, he should share the emperor's worries, which can also show your loyalty!"
Fa Zheng also came out and said: "The lord, what Mr. Shiyuan and Mr. Yuanhao said is very true, the lord cannot resist the will!" ”
Liu Yong looked at everyone seriously: "I don't know what you think?" ”
Since the three most credible people around Liu Yong have already agreed to be the king, and those who can mix in the officialdom are all human spirits, where did the others still not understand what Liu Yong meant, and immediately bowed down collectively and said: "I hope the lord will share the emperor's worries!" ”
Liu Yong sighed and said: "Since you all think that Yong should be like this, then Yong will be cheeky and accept this reward!" ”
Liu Yong turned around and knelt down in the direction of Yecheng and said: "Minister Liu Yong is grateful, long live my emperor!" ”
"Long live my emperor, long live! His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a thousand years old! "Everyone immediately bowed down and bowed.
When Huangmen saw that Liu Yong had received the holy decree, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" Now that the matter has been done, the old slave will leave and go back to the emperor to return to his life! ”
Liu Yong nodded: "Filial piety, you send your father-in-law!" ”
"No!" Fa Zheng sent the yellow gate out, and only Liu Yong's Chinese martial arts were left in the lobby!
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Everyone knelt down to Liu Yong excitedly again.
Liu Yong waved his hand and said, "Everyone! ”
The news that Liu Yong was crowned king swept the world like a hurricane in an instant, and at the same time got several pieces of news: Jiangdong Sun Ce was named Marquis of Wu, Xiliang Ma Teng was named Marquis of Qin, and Han Sui was named Marquis of Liang.
Guanzhong Yongzhou, government office.
Two sturdy men were sitting and drinking across from each other, and these two were Ma Teng and Han Sui, the leaders of the two most powerful warlord forces in Xiliang.
Ma Teng drank a glass of wine and said, "Brother Xian, what's the matter with this holy decree that suddenly named you and me as marquis?" What kind of medicine is in Cao Cao's gourd? ”
Han Sui on the other side suddenly smiled and said, "Big brother, my subordinate Cheng Gongying said today that Cao Cao's move is a show of goodwill and sincerity to us!" ”
Ma Teng was puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
"Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes for a long time, destroy Lu Bu, kill Yuan Shu, slaughter Xuzhou, and level Yuan Shao, which can be described as sharp, and suppressed the other princes in the world openly and secretly, and now he is being chased and beaten by Liu Yong one after another, and even the nest has been lost just now, what he wants to unite with others to deal with Liu Yong, if he doesn't win it over, who else wants to? Big brother, you just need to take this title, we don't always want this to be canonized by the emperor Lao'er, but now it can be regarded as having it! ”
Han Sui looked extremely happy today, holding a big horn wine glass, and kept drinking, already a little drunk.
Ma Teng has a wish in his heart, and he doesn't have much loss to himself, as for whether to fight Cao Cao or Liu Yong, the difference is not very big, as long as Xiliang Tie is riding in his hands, he has nothing to fear. After thinking about it slightly, Ma Teng basically agreed with Han Sui's words, and the wine glasses of the two of them collided heavily......
Jiangdong, Moling City.
Since Zhou Yu conquered Hefei, Sun Quan completely moved the governance office here, Zhou Yu was stationed in Hefei, and Zhou Tai led the naval army to garrison the mouth of the water, as if he was going north at any time. Now he has also been canonized by a holy decree that provokes the most primitive ambition in his heart.
Sun Quan did not hide the joy in his heart and asked the group of civil and military forces in front of him, "What does the Lord Lord think of this?" ”
Danyang Bei drove Sun Shao to be the first to come out and said: "Congratulations to the lord, with this marquis canonized by the imperial court, the reputation of the lord will be even greater than before, and he will also gain more support from the people of Jiangdong, and the foundation will be more stable." ”
"Zibu, what do you two think?" Sun Quan looked at his two most powerful ministers.
Zhang Zhao said: "This edict should be accepted! Of course, there are two sides to things, this edict can make the prestige of the lord higher, and it will also make Jingzhou take care of it, and the lord should prepare early! ”
Zhang Hong also nodded and said: "Cao Cao's intention is obvious, he hopes to fight against Liu Yong in Jingzhou together, and the minister feels that he should be ready to join Cao to fight Liu at this time!" ”
Zhang Hong's words shocked everyone, and just when everyone was whispering, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded: "Zhang Gong's words are very agreeable!" Liu Yong will inevitably become a big disaster in the world, and he must not be allowed to become strong, otherwise my Jiangdong will inevitably redirect the mistakes of Liu Zhang in Xichuan! It must be restricted, and only when the forces of all parties are balanced, can our Jiangdong wait for the opportunity to move and seek growth! ”
"Gongjin?!" Sun Quan was overjoyed, "It's just the right time for Gongjin to come back, Quan also thinks like this, Liu Yong can't be strong, when Cao fights against Liu, otherwise there will be no day of revenge in Jiangdong!" ”
In the end, Sun Quan gritted his teeth, his eyes were awe-inspiring, obviously the losses he had suffered at Liu Yong's hands before made him angry.
