Chapter 62 Formal Reward
(Uh, what's going on, looks like there's one chapter missing from the update?) Embarrassment...... Then it's a leave of absence, Khan~)
The 100,000 army came to the court and attached it to the Son of Heaven's pro-army, which was the best and most powerful counterattack by Lu Bu against Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.
Facts have proved that no matter how beautiful what you say, it is useless, and you still need to rely on strength to speak.
Originally, Liu Xie had already half-given up on Lu Bu's appointment as a lieutenant, even if he finally withdrew the seal, it would be a slap in the face to himself, what could he do? You must know that what is opposed now is basically the power of most of the court, as well as the alliance of princes led by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in addition to Lu Bu - although Gongsun Zan and others did not speak, Liu Xie naturally classified them in this category, although at this time there was only one name left in the alliance of princes.
Although Liu Xie has felt relaxed from the bottom of his heart since Dong Zhuo's death, he will not feel that he has ascended to the sky in one step since then, from a puppet to a king with real authority, and can exercise the power of life and death to these ministers and princes, if he can't recognize this clearly, how many times would he have died when Dong Zhuo was still there.
It is precisely because he knows this that he knows better that he has nothing but the title of emperor and is now nothing in front of these princes, and he does not have much qualifications to be prestigious, in this regard, he is far inferior to Lu Bu, and he didn't see that at the last court meeting, even those ministers who originally let Fu Wan say that they had retreated, and then saw the attitude of Yuan Shao and others.
Although he used a scoundrel last time, he dragged this matter down like this. But obviously these princes have patience, even after so many days, they are still entangled, and there is no need to think that the rumor brought by Fu Wan is from the handwriting of one of them, although because of that rumor, Liu Xie's heart is still shaken, and there are many reasons for giving up the fight to help Lu Bu.
But from now on, these 100,000 troops are equivalent to mediocrity, which adds a bit of confidence to Liu Xie's heart.
These days, Liu Xie has finally realized the reality that no one under his hands can stiffen his waist, although there are still many old ministers above the court, but how can these people be of any use. Stormy and troubled times. Only by controlling the army can he have the power to kill and take away others, otherwise he will not even be able to save his own life.
With this 100,000 army, from the hard strength. Liu Xie no longer worried about the coercion of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. And they have to weigh what they want. A little emperor with no soldiers and no power in his hands is easy to fiddle with, with the army and a big help like Lu Bu, Liu Xie will no longer be able to let them pinch and rub the round.
Although there is still hesitation about the loyalty of these people - otherwise, since they have recognized that they are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven. Why didn't they end up letting them into the city, but only letting them camp outside the city, and then waiting for someone else to make arrangements? But Liu Xie was still in a good mood, especially after he said those words forcefully on the top of the city tower before, seeing the faces of Yuan Shao and the others, it was really emotional, the power of this thing was intoxicating.
Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, who were following Liu Xie, glanced at each other, and shook their heads at each other, their meaning was obvious, although they were a little worried about this, especially Lu Bu's move was very unexpected, but at the same time, it also made them even more vigilant, I believe that if the Son of Heaven can wake up from this excitement, he will definitely be able to think of this, but now it is undoubtedly very inappropriate for them to persuade him, that will only be counterproductive.
If you want to be a loyal minister, you also need some means.
Lu Bu's expression did not change from beginning to end, but after returning to the court, taking off his boots and then taking his own seats, he was the first to stand up and speak: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although it is not unreasonable for the ministers to worry, but His Majesty has now come to the court and politics, and with His Majesty's talent and intelligence and learning the way of the emperor since childhood, and with the assistance of many predecessors and old ministers, it will not be difficult to be familiar with the affairs of the court. ”
Cao Cao's heart moved, and he secretly said that this Lu Bu was difficult to deal with.
In such an advantageous situation, it is really a good means to not get carried away and still think about asking for rewards for their "enemies".
Of course, it is not in line with the image of the so-called reckless man who is mostly from the table, but at this time, if anyone still thinks that he is just a simple martial artist, then he will definitely die in the end It is ugly, and his calculation may not be as invincible as his force, but it is also not to be underestimated and has to be guarded against.
At this moment, as soon as Lu Bu's words came out, not to mention Cao Cao and the others, when the emperor and all the ministers saw this scene, they probably had to praise the great man for his big heart.
But more importantly, what position does he stand in to ask for a seal?
At this moment, I am afraid that in his capacity as the third prince and the prince, he asked the Son of Heaven to reward these princes and their respective armies, and the Son of Heaven naturally took advantage of the situation, but I also wanted to get it, with Lu Bu in front, the follow-up reward would not be good-looking, but at this time they had no way to refute, even if the Son of Heaven just let them change from a false name to a real name, from a famous person to a famous share, at this moment they can only obey.
Because Lu Bu has created a situation at this time, which is subtle, in fact, it is through the changes in the external environment and most of the people around him that affect one of the individuals, and then it circulates like this, and Lu Bu has unconsciously become a leader, whether it is the young son of heaven or the rest of the princes and ministers, they have to follow his rhythm, not to mention others at this time, it is Cao Cao himself, and he can't afford to resist too much in his heart for Lu Bu to be so self-assertive.
I have to say here that although they have each claimed to be a prince before, this state pastor, that Taishou, this general, and that marquis, but there are not many that have really been recognized by the imperial court, such as Yuan Shu's Yangzhou Mu, Sun Ce's Lujiang Taishou and Cao Cao's Xuzhou Mu, all of which are self-proclaimed.
However, when it was time to officially reward him, he also encountered a lot of troubles, for example, now Gongsun Zhan, one of the three heroes of Hebei, is a Youzhou pastor, but Liaodong is occupied by Gongsun Du, and the land of some counties in the west has been occupied by Yuan Shao, even Han Fu, who is his current ally, can only be regarded as returning part of the alliance as an alliance, so it is impossible for them to return these lands at this time, right?
What's more, Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou Mu is also self-proclaimed, and Dong Zhuo only named him a miscellaneous general in the name of the imperial court at that time, and the name of the state pastor can be described as nameless and unreal.
As for the other Jizhou Mu Han Fu, he only occupies part of the central and northern parts of Jizhou, and does not occupy the entire territory of Jizhou.
And the most difficult of the three males is Yuan Shao, Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou, and even the current Si Li, he occupies a part of the territory, which adds up to a large piece of territory, but what is good about sealing him?
Originally, when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government, he was given the title of general in the name of the imperial court, which was second only to the title of the three generals in the Han army, but now everyone knows that this is not as useful as a county guard, at least people have real power and prestige, and they are really good.
With Liu Xie's current prestige, it was not enough to redivide their territories, so they could only use the marquis, fiefdoms, and positions in the imperial court as reward requirements, and then decide on local appointments according to their respective requirements.
Although everyone knows that this is just a quest to get a name, even if you ask for it, you have to rely on yourself in the end to keep it. (To be continued......)
