Chapter 382: The Age of Kingdoms

Inside and outside the Ye Palace, except for a few people who silently dripped blood in their hearts, they were immersed in jubilation. The establishment of a new dynasty is full of new atmosphere. The change of identity from Hanchen to Zhao Chen, Yuan Shao's courtiers are very adaptable, and they have become officials and knights, without the slightest dissonance.

The palace drank and feasted, and the ministers were in harmony with each other, and they were happy.

In the midst of the peace, Yuan Shang glanced at the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi who returned to the capital. As soon as Yuan Shao ascended the throne, such a major event, the two of them who had been out of Zhenqing and secluded for many years returned to Ye very quickly. Yuan Shang knew that this was to fight for the crown prince, and it was Yuan Xi, who had always been honest and low-key, but he was afraid that he also had this thought.

Yuan Shao called the emperor to change the yuan, and all the sons were crowned kings. Yuan Tan was the king of Linzi, Yuan Xi was the king of Guangyang, and Yuan Shang was the king of Anping. There were rumors that Yuan Shao originally intended to make Yuan Shang the crown prince, but he was dissuaded by Guo Tu, Xu You, Xun Chen and others, so he gave up and changed the title to Anping.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, Yuan Shang has jealousy towards Xu You and others in his heart. The establishment of the Zhao State was based on the Yuan clan in the past, supplemented by the power of the Central Plains and Hebei families. And Xu You, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and other scholars from the Central Plains were united by nature, even if there were internal discord, but in the face of the power of the Hebei family, it was always external.

Yuan Shao's ruling base was Hebei, and for the judges, Fengji and others, those from the Central Plains Yanyu such as Xu Yu and Guo Tu, these outsiders were completely here to seize their interests and dilute their power.

Under Yuan Shaochen, the antagonism between the forces of the Central Plains and Hebei Shi clans has in fact been reflected for a long time, but it has been suppressed by Yuan Shao before. But with the establishment of the Zhao State, this contradiction has gradually become acute, and with the establishment of the Zhao Empire, it has become more intense. The most direct embodiment should be the battle for the storage position within Yuan Zhao in the future.

The trial and others supported Yuan Shang, and Guo Tu and others did not hesitate to support Yuan Tan, especially with Guo Tu's attitude being the most distinct, the banner of "establishing a successor and standing up" is marketable everywhere.

With a hundred turns of thought, he gestured to the two of them and toasted from afar. Yuan Xi was "flattered" and hurriedly raised his glass in response, while Yuan Tan touched his mustache, glanced at Yuan Shang with a serious face, and drank it all. After that, he turned his head to talk to Guo Tu and Xin Ping, and sometimes glanced at Yuan Shang, as if he was demonstrating to him.

In the hall, there is also a place for Yuan Shu, but it is a little out of place, and others do not dare to get too close to this Yuan sister-in-law who has a "criminal record".

"Uncle Huang!" Yuan Shang approached gracefully and saluted Yuan Shu: "Shang, a cup to Uncle Huang!" ”

Yuan Shao claimed that the emperor founded the country, and Yuan Shu surrendered to his feet, and Yuan Shao showed his "generosity" to this brother who had fought with himself for the dominance of the Yuan family for decades. was knighted as the king of Runan, and even intended to appoint him as Zongzheng, and even did not care about the "reverse move" of someone before Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu glanced at Yuan Shang, saw the kindness on his face, and smiled faintly: "Xianfu, please!" ”

Yuan Shu naturally understood Yuan Shang's thoughts, no matter how down-and-out he Yuan Shu was, he still had influence in the Yuan clan, and Yuan Shang was here to win himself over. quietly glanced at Yuan Shao, who was high up and full of interest, and saw his third son, and had a kind of mentality of watching a play.

......

Yuan Shao finally took the last step of usurping the Han Dynasty and once again set off a wave in the world. However, over the years, there have been successive emperors and kings, and this time the reaction was not drastic. Yuan Shao's Hebei territory is slightly unstable, but they are all a small number of people who think of the Han family, and the small turmoil can be destroyed by Yuan Zhao's backhand. At the beginning of the empire, local officials could expect to make contributions to curry favor with the Emperor of Zhao.

The only people who can pay attention to these are the meat eaters, ordinary people, who are still rebuilding their homes and preparing for spring ploughing. The trauma caused by the war last year was too heavy, and the government sent someone to announce that the empire had changed, and the Son of Heaven had changed. But what do they have to do with it, continue to pay taxes and serve in forced labor, that's it.

Wuhuan, Goguryeo, and Gongsun Du of Liaodong all sent envoys to congratulate, and it was inevitable that Cao Cao and Liu Biao reacted "fiercely", but they were all painless denunciations.

What is more interesting is that Yuan Shaodaihan, Liu Fan of Yizhou, and Liu Biao of Jingxiang all claimed to be orthodox in the Han Dynasty, and they shouted at each other for a long time. However, Shu Han and Chu Han are indeed the only two bloodline forces surnamed Liu in China.

Outside Suiyang City, Cao Cao set up an altar, led the Wei State to be civil and military, and worshiped the Han. Cao Cao's mood looked very low, and in a blink of an eye, the "big man" was gone, although it had been expected, but for Cao Cao, the impact on his heart was still not small.

Kneeling on the ground and worshipping north, Cao Cao was like a mourner, and he burst into tears.

"Shizi, the lord is so easy to hurt his body, please advise!" The ministers tried hard to persuade him, Xu Chu looked at Cao Ang, who was kneeling beside him, and said in a low voice.

Dian Wei's face was as cold and hard as iron, and the pestle was there, as long as it did not endanger Cao Cao's safety, he would not move.

After Cao Cao returned to the capital, he used Cao Ang's merit to suppress Liu Heng and made him his son. There is almost no objection to this, and in any way, he is the only candidate for the heir of the current Wei State.

"Father, the matter has come to this, please mourn and take care of your health! The country still needs you to help, and the world still needs you to save! Cao Ang walked to Cao Cao on his knees, opened his mouth several times, and only said this sentence.

The words of consolation were almost as consolating as Cao Ang spoke, and Cao Cao reacted.

sighed heavily: "Four hundred years of Han rivers and mountains, it's over, the ministers are incompetent!" ”

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Xiahou Dun, the general of the Chinese army, approached Cao Cao and said in a deep voice: "Now Liu Yuan, Yuan Shao, and Liu Fan are all emperors, Liu Biao is the king, and Sun Ce is the duke." And the king is only a marquis, and this name does not live up to the truth. Please ascend the throne and become the emperor to resist the kingdoms! ”

"Shut up!" Cao Cao immediately scolded viciously: "The lonely generation is Han Zhongliang, how can he do such a disobedient thing like Yuan Shao!" ”

The rest of the Wei ministers on the side originally wanted to persuade them when they heard Xiahou Dun's words, but when they saw Cao Cao's reaction, they were all slightly stunned. However, this has a heart, and it can't stop everyone's continuous persuasion.

Cao Cao brushed his sleeves away.

Looking at Cao Cao's back, Xun Yu's eyes flashed with extremely complicated colors, he is a great Han Zhongliang, there is no doubt about it. But now, the king is dead, the country is gone, and he is Hanchen? Is it Wei Chen?

"The matter of carrying is imperative?" Cheng Yu stood beside Xun Yu and asked in a low voice, "Wen Ruo, do you know what the king means?" ”

"Since we know the general trend, we are ministers, so why worry!" Xun Yu said lightly.

Not long after, in Suiyang, with the support of the ministers, Cao Cao was called the King of Wei and continued to use the name of Jianning. After all, he did not take the last step and became emperor.

The Central Plains was the king of Wei, and Sun Ce of Yangzhou also took advantage of the situation to ascend to the throne of Wu.

Hu Xia, Yuan Zhao, Cao Wei, Shu Han, Chu Han, Sun Wu, and established Huaxia, which belonged to the era of the kingdoms, was completely announced.
