Chapter 537: Asking for a Reward
Zu Bi saw that Zhang Yuan's ministers were so rude and openly disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only cough a few times to hide his embarrassment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"His grandmother's, Liangxu Erzhou was led by our Duke Zhou to fight to the death, it was Duke Zhou's territory, why did the Son of Heaven reward Duke Zhou!" Li Dingguo couldn't get used to it and scolded.
Zu Bi's body was shocked, and anger suddenly burst out in his eyes, angry that Li Dingguo dared to be rude to the Son of Heaven, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only stare dryly.
"You go back and tell the Son of Heaven that he won't have to worry about the reward, and the Japanese Guild will go to discuss with him in person." Zhang Yuan waved his hand and motioned for him to get out.
Zu Bi had no choice but to retreat in a hurry and leave in a hurry.
As soon as Zu Bi left, Li Si stroked his beard and said with a faint smile: "The Son of Heaven took the lead in issuing an order, just to increase the fiefdom for Duke Zhou, obviously wanting to block Duke Zhou's mouth, afraid that Duke Zhou would force him to become king." ”
Touching the dragon also arched his hand and said: "With the current merits and prestige of the Duke of Zhou, only by entering the title of king can it be enough to order the military and people of the states to realize the great cause of unifying the world as soon as possible. ”
"Liu Xie, do you want to slam the door, I'm not so easy to fool......"
Zhang Yuan's eyes were murderous, and he smiled coldly, "When the army returns to Chang'an tomorrow, it is time to ask His Majesty the Son of Heaven for a king." ”
Chang'an, the apse of the imperial palace.
Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was discussing with the national abbot Fu Wan, and the queen Fu Shou was accompanying him.
The Imperial Forest Army of the entire palace is under Zhang Yuan's control, and every word and deed of the Son of Heaven is also under Zhang Yuan's ears and eyes.
"I didn't expect that this Zhang Yuan would be so strong, I still expected Yuan Shao to be able to fight with him, I didn't expect that the old thief would be destroyed by Zhang Yuan so quickly, it's a pity, it's a pity......" Liu Xie sighed again and again, and drank all the stuffy wine in the cup in one gulp.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much, although Zhang Yuan destroyed Yuan Shao, but it is far from reaching the point of covering the sky with one hand, now there is Cao Cao in the west, Liu Bei and Yuan Shang in the north, Han Sui Sun Ce in the south, and Liu Zhang in Shuzhong, surrounded by the heroes, Zhang Yuan still dare not persecute His Majesty too much, we still have time." Fu Wan relieved from the side.
Liu Xie was a little relieved and drank a few glasses in a row.
"Having said that, I can see that Zhang Yuan is extremely ambitious, and the Guozhang thinks that he can be satisfied with only giving Zhang Yuan the title of Erzhou Shiyi," Liu Xie was worried again.
"It should be possible...... Fu Wan replied not very confidently, "In the four hundred years of my Han Dynasty, in addition to the founding princes, there is also a foreign surname Guogong who has been given the fief of Sanzhou, such a great glory, that Zhang Yuan should also be content." ”
Liu Xie nodded slightly, and relaxed again.
After Fu took advantage of the situation and said: "As long as we can stabilize Zhang Yuan, so that the old minister has enough time to contact the ministers in the court, secretly gather forces, and when the time is ripe, Zhang Yuan can be killed in one fell swoop, and then his subordinates will have no leader, and they will inevitably return to Your Majesty, and then Your Majesty will be able to take the land of the two rivers at your fingertips. ”
Fu Wan sprinkled a grand blueprint for Liu Xie, and Liu Xie's spirit was full of energy, and his eyes were shining.
Just after Fu finished speaking, Zhang Yuan had captured the five states of Jiqing, Xu, Liangyu and Henan, as well as half of Yangzhou and half of Sizhou, as well as a small part of Liangzhou, it can be said that he has six states, and half of the world is in his hands.
As long as he can take over Zhang Yuan, the land of the six states, why can't he destroy the heroes and restore the Han family.
He Liu Xie is about to become the second king of Zhongxing after Emperor Guangwu, and he can be as famous as great ancestors such as Emperor Wu of Gozu.
Liu Xie's thoughts were flying, and he was so excited that he couldn't sit still, and his eyes gradually burned with the momentum that only a male lord had.
At this moment, Zu Bi hurriedly entered, with a bitter face, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister has failed His Majesty's trust, Zhang Yuan did not accept His Majesty's holy decree, and rudely drove the minister back, asking the minister to tell His Majesty, saying that he was going to enter the palace in person and came to discuss with His Majesty the reward given to him." ”
In the inner sanctum, there was a dead silence in an instant.
Liu Xie, who was originally full of ambition, suddenly changed in astonishment, and his whole body was paralyzed in shock.
Fu Wan, who was sitting on the side, was also stunned and stunned.
"Guozhang, Zhang Yuan is not satisfied with the reward I gave him, and he has to come to ask me for it in person, what should I do, what should I do......" Liu Xie panicked and asked Fu Wan tremblingly.
Fu Wan also fell into silence, with a bitter face, not knowing what to do.
The two of them were in this hall, meditating and pondering for a night, but there was still nothing to be done.
Before he knew it, it was already dawn, and Liu Xie was still pacing in the hall, with a very sad face.
When he was distressed, the eunuch outside the palace came to report, saying that Zhang Yuan had led the army to Chang'an and was entering the city through the north gate.
Liu Xie changed color again, and sat on the dragon couch in a panic.
"Your Majesty is the son of heaven of the great man, how can he be so flustered in trouble." Queen Fushou finally couldn't stand it, and persuaded with her eyebrows: "Zhang Yuan will definitely go straight to the palace, and there is no other way to get to this point, only to act at the opportunity and stabilize him first." ”
Liu Xie had no idea, and looked at Fu Wan again, Fu Wan shook his head and sighed, but he also looked helpless.
……
At this time, Zhang Yuan was going to sit on the horse, enter the city with his head in mind, Xu Xing on the wide royal road, enjoying both sides of the avenue, the sandwich road of Chang'an Shimin to worship and welcome Huan, with supreme power, went straight to the palace.
The Imperial Forest Army of the Imperial City was already in Zhang Yuan's hands, and without the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, he opened the palace gate by himself, no matter what a group of confidants and ministers were already at the palace gate.
Zhang Yuan praised Guan He for a few words, and then led 5,000 guards and armor soldiers to enter the palace with great momentum, and went to the Jinluan Hall to face the saint.
In the hall, Liu Xie, who heard the news, was already sitting on the throne, pretending to be calm, sitting upright, posing with the emperor's dragon, waiting for Zhang Yuan to come to pay respects.
Liu Xie looked quite majestic on the surface, and he had the momentum of a male lord all over his body, but the panic that flashed in his eyes from time to time betrayed his weak heart.
"Your Majesty is the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, and you must not show cowardice in front of Zhang Yuan." Queen Fu Shou, who was sitting next to her, reminded in a low voice.
Liu Xie took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and tried his best to pretend to be calm.
At this moment, outside the main hall, heavy footsteps shouted, and after a while, nearly a hundred ironclad warriors broke in, lined up on both wings of the main hall, with a solemn killing momentum.
Liu Xie's heart chuckled, his breathing immediately became short, and fear arose.
The sound of slow footsteps entered the hall from far and near, and after a while, a majestic young figure, like a proud green pine, entered the main hall with a sword.
It's Zhang Yuan.
