Chapter 468: Liu Qi is also helpless
After Liu Qi finished speaking, the hall immediately quieted down, and then he heard Zhuge Jin, the squire of the military department, say slowly: "Lord Qiqi, it is now a harsh winter in October, the river is frozen, the river is impassable, and it is very unfavorable to send troops, and Cao Pi has just been called the emperor, and the Wei State is united, and it will inevitably be fortified along the river, and only tens of thousands of crossbowmen will be needed at that time, and our army will have no chance to take advantage of it. ”
At this time, Zhuge Jin's friend, Shangshu Yu of the Ministry of Rites, also bowed down and said: "What Ziyu said is very reasonable, and I hope that the king will think twice, and the minister will second." ”
Immediately, I saw the book of Cheng Kan Ze in the imperial history: "Don't worry, don't worry, although Cao Pi usurped the Han, but this person will not live for ten years, only ten years later, when the situation in Wei is in chaos, the lord can take advantage of the situation to send troops to destroy Wei in one fell swoop and wipe out the rebellion." ”
"Oh? I don't know why Kan Zhongcheng said this? The left servant of Shangshu on the side shot Wang Cang was very puzzled by this, and hurriedly asked.
But Kan Ze said: "Pi, not ten, not ten, not ten will become Pi, this is the number of this person's life." ”
Kan Ze's words were amazing, and the civil and military officials were all shocked when they heard his words, but they also had to admire, but at the same time, they also hoped in their hearts that Kan Ze's words would become a prophecy, and Cao Pi really wouldn't live for ten years.
After a while, I heard Liu Qi say in a deep voice: "Although what Kan Zhongcheng said makes sense, how can this king wait another ten years?" Don't say it's ten years, even if it's three years, you can't wait, and now Cao Pi's thief usurped my Han Dynasty, resulting in the destruction of the 400-year foundation. ”
After finishing speaking, Liu Qi looked at Jia Xu again and asked slowly, "Jia Xiangguo." What do you think should be done about this? ”
But he heard Jia Xu arch his hand and said: "What the king said is right, since the king is a relative of the Han family, how can he tolerate the national thief Cao Pi rampaging Hebei, usurping my Han dynasty, and causing the loss of our country's capital?" The minister thought that we should indeed send troops to attack Cao Pi. This is a matter of great righteousness, and it must be done. However, since the country is mentioned, there is now a matter related to the country that the king needs to solve immediately, this matter is more important than the crusade against the national thief Cao Pi, and the king needs to think twice. ”
"Oh? I wonder why it's so important? Liu Qi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly looked at Jia Xu in surprise.
I saw Jia Xu say slowly: "The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, although the Han Emperor was abolished, but the national Zuo must continue, and the Han Dynasty still needs to continue." Now looking at the kings of the Han family, those who have the strength and prestige to become the lord of the Han Dynasty are none other than the king, and the king lives in the land of Longxing in Luoyang, and it is the heavens that hang down, and the king must obey, otherwise, once the time is delayed. The old minister is afraid that the Han family will be forgotten, once this is the case. If the people's hearts will be scattered, it will be difficult to get rid of the national thief Cao Pi. In the past, Emperor Gaozu slashed the snake uprising, and it took several years to obtain the foundation of the Han family, and then through the Guangwu Emperor Zhongxing. In order to continue the Han family, now the Han family is facing calamity, fortunately there is the spirit of the king Lai's ancestors, the blessing of the community, and the king's wisdom and martial arts. In order to get today's situation, the old minister asked the king to read the difficult business of the Han family, turn the tide and help the building to fall. ”
"This, how can this be? Now that the emperor has been deposed by Hanshuo, we should still respect the Son of Heaven and crusade against the unsubordinate, how can we ascend the throne and claim the emperor without authorization, in this way, isn't it no different from Cao Pi? Liu Qi looked panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand to reject Jia Xu's suggestion: "This is absolutely impossible, no need to discuss it again." ”
After that, Liu Qi directly shifted the topic to the issue of sending troops to crusade against Cao Pi, and ordered Wei Yan, the governor of the Eastern Army, Huang Zhong, the governor of the northwest, and Zhou Yu, the captain of Sili, to each command the army under their command, and launched a general attack on Cao Pi from the three directions of Jinan, Hedong, and Daijun, no matter how much the price was paid, they must also break through Hebei and capture the Han thief Cao Pi.
As for Cao Pi's proposal to abolish Liu Qi and the king of Chu and change it to Chongde Hou, abolish the identity of Taiwei and Jingzhou Mu and change it to Jingzhou Thorn History, Liu Qi and all the civil and military forces under his command naturally ignored it completely.
And Wei Yan, Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong all hesitated after receiving the order, not because they did not obey Liu Qi's order, but because they felt that the order given by Liu Qi today was really strange, even they knew that if they attacked Cao Wei at this time, there was no chance of winning at all, and it was said that with Liu Qi's shrewdness, it was impossible not to know, and it was precisely because Liu Qi knew that they had to consider how to carry out this order.
It didn't take long for them to receive a letter from Xiangguo Jia Xu, and at this time it finally dawned on them, and Zhou Yu vaguely guessed something in advance, and now seeing Jia Xu say this, he has more confidence in his heart.
As a result, Huang Zhong's army was blocked by Zhang He at Yanmen, Zhou Yu's army was blocked by Guo Huai at Shangdang, and Wei Yan's army did not even cross the Yellow River.
The three generals had no choice but to go to the table one after another and plead guilty to Liu Qi.
When the letters of plea were passed to Liu Qi's desk, the seals of the civil ministers and military generals piled up on his desk were already piled up, and except for the plea form on which these three people were on, the others had exactly the same content, that is, to persuade Liu Qi.
As a result, the history is strikingly similar, and a scene like the one in Luoyang when the ministers of the Wei State persuaded Cao Pi to advance.
First of all, the waiters of the Ministry of Rites, Hua Xin, Song Zhen, the waiter of the Criminal Department, Fa Zheng, and the left and right scattered riders often served Gu Yong, Peng Yi, Kan Ze, Xue Zong and others wrote: "The ministers heard the "River Map", "Luo Shu", the Five Classics, the Weft, Confucius selected, and the test should be from afar. The case "Luo Shu Zhen Yaodu" said: '...... In the past 22 years, the number of qi is like a flag, from the west to the east, and the sky is traveling, and the "map" and "book" say: "There will be a son of heaven out of his side". Plus is the year is too white, glowing, and filling in the stars often chase each other from the stars. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the five-star star sought ...... When there is a holy lord from this state, it will be prosperous. When the Han Emperor still existed, the group did not take any omissions. The glow of the sun is confused and chasing the stars of the year, and it is seen in the stomach; The Pleiades Tiangang, the "Sutra" says: 'When the emperor is in the star, all evils will perish'...... The minister heard that the holy king was born and the heavens did not violate, and the day after tomorrow was worshiped by the heavens, so he was born at the right time and was in harmony with God. May the king obey the people in heaven, and soon be the flood industry, and ...... in Ninghai"
After that, Chen Lin, Bu Qi, Shangshu Fanqin of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Zhang Zhao and Fu Xun of the Ministry of Officials, Hua Xin and Song Zhen of the Ministry of Rites, Han Ji and Liu Xian of the Ministry of Works, Liu Ba, Liao Li of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and others wrote to Liu Qi and were rejected.
However, these people are not tired of this regard, and some people continue to write books, speaking earnestly, hoping that Liu Qi can be the king.
These people either went to the book alone, or several people, or more than a dozen people went to the book, and all of a sudden the crowd was excited, and all the people petitioned.
At this time, Zhang Lu, the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao of Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province and the third generation of Zhang Tianshi, came to visit with hundreds of scrolls of talismans, saying that auspicious rui is frequent, the heavens are hanging down, the Han Dynasty is prosperous, and the twenty-eight nights are in the world again, helping the true dragon Tianzi. I hope that the king of Chu can respond to the sky and quickly take the throne.
In dealing with the defeat of Wei Yan, Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong, Xiang Guo Jia Xu, Shang Shu Ling Pei Qian, Shang Shu left and right servants shot Wang Cang and Pang Tong, Taishi Cheng Bingyuan and others agreed that the reason for the defeat was because Liu Qi did not respond to the heavens and led the heavens to surrender their crimes.
"Cao Pi usurped, annihilated the Han family, stole artifacts, robbed Zhongliang, and was ruthless. People and ghosts are angry and poisonous, and they think about Liu. There is no son of heaven today, the sea is panicked, and the admiration is slight. There are more than 1,800 people who write before and after the group, and they are called Fu Rui, and they are known as Ming Zheng. Huanglong saw Wuyang Chishui, and went on nine days. "Filial Piety and Aid to God" said: "Virtue to the Yuanquan is the yellow dragon sees, the dragon, the image of the king." "Yi" Qianjiu 5 "Flying Dragon in the Sky", the king ascended to the throne when the dragon ascended. Xiangyang men Zhang Jia and Wang Xiu presented jade seals, the seals dived into Han water, lying in the deep springs, the light of the candles was shining, and the light was full of light. The husband of the Han, the ancestor of the country of the world is also the name of the world, and the king attacked the trajectory of the first emperor, and also flourished in the Xianghan Dynasty. Today, the jade seal of the divine light seer, the seal out of Xiangyang, the end of the Han River, the king of the Ming Dynasty inherited its inordinate class, and granted the king the position of the Son of Heaven. ”
"And who is Cao Pi? After the Han thief, the age is not as long as the king, the body is not as expensive as the king, the talent is not as high as the king, the temperament is not as broad as the king, it seems that these people still dare to steal the artifact, the throne of the great treasure, the monkey and the crown, even so, the king's hundreds of thousands of troops can not be defeated, the king as a member of the Han family, the descendants of the ancestors, how can the king bend under the thief, the king is in the right position, is my Han orthodoxy, sweep away such thieves, so that my Han recreate the situation of Zhongxing. If the king hesitates any longer, lest all the ministers of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty hate Jiuquan, it will be difficult to see the Han family flourishing...... The ministers asked the king to respond to the people, establish etiquette, choose the order, and the honorable name ......"
Seeing these seals, especially the one played by Jia Xu and others, Liu Qi couldn't help but hesitate, although he didn't believe much in these things like Xiangrui, but he knew that the ministers and the people believed that if he really lost trust in the ministers and the people because of his momentary hesitation, then the loss of his reputation would be really great.
Liu Qi knew that in such a situation, if he did not "conform to the will of heaven and the people", he was afraid that it would lead to a greater disaster, and under such an offensive by the ministers, even if Liu Qi did not think that he would become the emperor so soon, now he had to consider the influence among the ministers.
So Liu Qi discussed with the ministers, wanting to be the regent, and respected the Han Emperor Liu Xie as the emperor, but unexpectedly met with the opposition of Jia Xu and others, because Liu Qi's name of regent was used by Wang Mang when he usurped the Han Dynasty, which was very unlucky, not to mention that the subjects of the world have been waiting for it, "like the hope of the great drought", hoping that Liu Qi can take over the Han Dynasty and take the throne.
Liu Qi knew that if he refused again, it would be hypocritical, so he had to reluctantly agree, only then did he realize that it was like the feeling of Houmen being as deep as the sea, even with his own high position, there were times when he was helpless. (To be continued......)
