Chapter 65, all in one place
What's even more unexpected is that a few days ago, it was also rumored that Lu Bu asked Liu Xie to appoint another person to take over as the pastor of the state, and Chen Gong, who temporarily acted as the pastor of the state, came to Luoyang to continue to assist him.
Undoubtedly, if this is the case, then the pastor of the state sent by Liu Xie to take over the command of the state army at the same time, which means that the state army belongs to Liu Xie.
This was interpreted as LΓΌ Bu's further expression of loyalty to the Son of Heaven and the release of military power in order to truly consolidate the current position of the DPRK and China, but in the end, the young Son of Heaven did not agree, and praised LΓΌ Bu vigorously, saying that his loyalty was evident.
Of course, Liu Xie has his own considerations, after all, he hasn't even digested the 100,000 Xiliang troops now, let alone taking over Lu Bu's state army, if he doesn't need it at all as a formal leader, it will be even more troublesome, because when he thinks it's his own people, it's not easier to do bad things, at least until he feels that he can control the 100,000 Xiliang army, this is the basic condition, at least at present, he hasn't felt that he can do whatever he wants. It is of course best to increase one's own power in such a way.
Not to mention that this is also a signal to Lu Bu and to the outside world, it is naturally goodwill to Lu Bu, and to the outside world is to express his importance to Lu Bu, if Lu Bu does something in the future, he must also take into account the opinions of outsiders, especially in the imperial society, the kindness of the Son of Heaven is not so easy to get, which requires a considerable price.
Even so, for these old ministers who still have illusions about the Han family, they may not have thought about it so much. It's just that Lu Bu's behavior has made their perception and opinion of him change a lot, if it was just because of Liu Xie's attitude towards Lu Bu before, he reluctantly agreed that he was in the same camp as them, then now they really began to recognize and accept him.
Lu Bu actually didn't pay too much attention to this, after all, whether these people recognized him or not, it had no effect on him, and he didn't care at all, but today these people came over to make a good banquet unclear, which made Lu Bu's mood very bad.
If it weren't for Jia Xu's persuasion, Lu Bu would have said that he would not have blasted these people out directly.
"Congratulations, congratulations. Mrs. Lu was in the prime of life. I'm afraid there will be many more in the future. This is the first thing Zhu Jun said when he saw Lu Bu, but for this former Han "anti-pornography hero", Lu Bu has a good impression, especially when he and this Zhu Jun were at the banquet in Situ Mansion before, the other party had a good appetite for himself. We can also talk to each other. So he also smiled and responded a few times.
Zhu Jun's words are obviously saying that Lu Bu will have many sons in the future. Naturally, there will be this kind of opportunity for his son to hold a banquet on his 100th birthday, which also makes Lu Bu very happy, after all, he still has a headache for Gan and Jian Hua, who want to have a child after eating and pestering him in the past few days. These two women were originally gentle and well-behaved types, but when it came to this matter, they became even a little paranoid, but Lu Bu couldn't say that they weren't, and as a result, Diao Chan often had to run out to play a round for him, but thinking that after the little goblin helped him "get out of trouble" from Gan's side last night, it turned out to be for himself, Lu Bu was also a little helpless in his heart, why is it obvious that this backyard is harmonious, but it always makes people feel uneasy?
At this time, an unexpected group of people arrived, this is the eunuch of the young Son of Heaven's decree, shouting "The holy decree has arrived" When the shrill voice sounded outside the courtyard, the ministers who participated in the banquet were all drunk at this time, and some of the drunken ones were also drunk, and then under the leadership of Lu Bu, everyone hurriedly packed up, not daring to let the family wait for a long time, only covered up some of the smell of wine, and welcomed the holy envoy in.
However, despite this, the atmosphere in the courtyard still made the Holy Envoy frown when he approached, and when he saw Lu Bu, his face turned into a smile again.
He didn't dare to put up a fight in front of Lu Bu, this was not someone he could afford to offend, so he also said very kindly: "Captain Lu, this is the beginning of the decree?" β
Lu Bushi made a salute, and then led everyone to listen to the will together, looking very respectful, after all, the holy decree represents "I am here in person", even if he has other thoughts in his heart, some etiquette on the surface still has to be sufficient.
Seeing this, the holy envoy also nodded with satisfaction, and then opened the bamboo slip engraved with the holy decree in his hand, and preached: "Taiwei Lu Fengxian, who occupies the position of the third duke, is sincere and loyal, and has worked hard for my Han foundation and the affairs of the imperial court and army. Now that his eldest son is 100 days old, and he has been named righteous, I want to give him the word Zuohan to show his father's merits......"
"What? His Majesty the Emperor actually personally gave words to a child who had just swaddled his clothes, and he was too fond of this Lu Fengxian. β
"That's right, first he became the third prince, and now he even attaches so much importance to a child who was born only three months old, it seems that this Lu Fengxian is really lucky!"
With the reading of the holy decree, everyone below from the initial surprise to the discussion, of course, they all deliberately lowered their voices, after all, if the eunuch and the holy envoy who announced the decree were dissatisfied at this time, it was okay for them to be guilty of defrauding the king, and they were not like Lu Bu would be jealous of the holy envoy.
At this time, Lu Bu had a smile on his face, without the slightest surprise or surprise, and he didn't know if he had known it a long time ago or had expected it a long time ago.
Although Lu Yi is still young now, if you want to have a table word, you have to wait until after the adult coronation ceremony, but compared to this kind of Son of Heaven's words, you don't need to think about it so much, in such an imperial society, it is a supreme glory to be able to get the emperor's name and word, although the Han family is now declining, but the princes are together, the monarch is weak and the ministers are strong, but the sign of the Son of Heaven giving the name and the word is still very easy to use, and it will be of great help to Lu Yi to enter the house in the future.
This is indeed Liu Xie's love for Lu Bu, but in the end, in his heart, Lu Bu can only sigh, because today's timing is really a bit unfortunate.
In fact, the reason why I was absent-minded in the backyard before, and I felt that a happy day of a banquet was disturbed by the influence of these courtiers is indeed one of the reasons, but the more important reason is today's plan-
When the holy envoy left, the banquet gradually entered the climax, and Lu Bu was also going to speak to everyone, no one thought that his first action on the stage was to smash the cup as a number, and then a group of strong soldiers rushed to surround the courtyard.
"Don't be surprised!" Lu Bu's face was still smiling, "I don't have any malicious intent, I just want to ask the ministers to temporarily grieve in the cold house tonight, and when they meet tomorrow, they will naturally let you leave." β
"What is Taiwei Lu doing?" It was Zhu Jun, who had always had a good relationship with Lu Bu in the middle, and his face became ugly at this time.
Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Naturally, I do what I should do, the Son of Heaven is young, maybe some decisions should be made by someone to help him, and this Yang day should also be changed." β
Although the words are still a little vague, the meaning is very clear, so the ministers who are considered royalists below are naturally angry.
"Lu Fengxian, you ......" Huang Wan heard this, coupled with this sudden change, he was so angry that he couldn't even say the next words.
"Something?" Lu Bu was condescending, looking at this important minister who had made a lot of trouble for him in the courtiers at the beginning, he was very disdainful, and then he looked around at the courtiers around him, including Zhu Jun, wherever his eyes swept, these people unnaturally looked away and even their faces, because they really couldn't face the heavy pressure he brought, even if they hated him at this time.
Lu Bu laughed, but he smiled coldly, and he said, "What you did before, do you really think that you have forgotten so-and-so?" A certain Lu Fengxian is indeed from a humble background, so a certain temperament is straightforward and fast, and he must be better, who does not let a certain be better, whether it was or is now, a certain will never let him have a good time, whether it was once or now! β
These courtiers now knew that Lu Bu's humility and even low-key appearance in the past few months, as well as his previous offer of 100,000 Xiliang troops and his offer to change the state pastor, were just a disguise he made to the world, or what he did was just to create the illusion that the tiger would succumb to prepare for his true intentions, or to paralyze the crowd and make them relax their vigilance.
Could it be that for the time being, a tiger hiding in the grass can be compared to a sick cat? Of course not, the tiger hides in the grass, not to change to herbivorous, but for the next swift hunting action, in order to paralyze the vigilance of the prey, and it can be killed by a sudden attack under its unpreparedness.
But at this time, even if they realized this, it was too late.
Everyone knows that Lu Bu's real purpose and goal will not be them, so who it is is obvious, at this time these ministers also began to worry about it, but it is a pity that they are unable to protect themselves when they cross the river, they were completely deceived by Lu Bu before this, and they didn't even bring their entourage, so they walked into the venue of this banquet with confidence, and put themselves in front of Lu Bu completely unguarded, not to let him slaughter?
Looking at the swords and guns in the hands of Lu Bu's subordinates around them, and the sharp blades that flashed with cold light, these people were all panicked, not only for their own fate, but also for the fate of this ill-fated empire.
Could it be that the Han family is about to fall into the general darkness of Dong Zhuo's period again? (To be continued......)
