The reason why the sixth year of stability is also called the first year of Guangzheng is, of course, because His Majesty the Son of Heaven issued an edict to change the yuan. You must know that the era name of "stability" was chosen by Han Sui, who is now a traitor by the Son of Heaven Liu along with Zhang Qiang. Since the Son of Heaven has worked hard to escape from Han Sui's control, of course, he must change the name of the past era, which can be regarded as a clear line with the past.

Well, Liu Wei, the son of heaven who fled to the small town of Yuanling, has no other rights, and the qualifications to change the yuan are genuine.

In November, the city is full of cars. Of course, most of the chariots and horses came from foreign princes. So many carriages and horses mean one thing, and that is:

The envoys of the great princes of the world gathered here to discuss the matter of alliance against arrogance.

Because Zhang Qi's performance in the past year was too strong, he successively annexed and destroyed the two major princes of Qingzhou Yuan Tan and Xuzhou Lu Bu, and the rest of the princes could not help but feel a sense of crisis in their hearts. Therefore, in addition to Gongsun Du, who lived in Liaodong in the northeast, and Han Sui, who was declared a rebel of the Han Dynasty, the powerful princes of the other prefectures and counties sent their henchmen to carry out diplomatic activities in Yuanling in the name of meeting the Son of Heaven to deal with the threat from the north.

Among the princes, Sun Jian and Ma Teng, as half of the landlords, of course had to personally receive envoys from all parties in Yuanling. However, as the mediator of the major princes, it was Yang Biao, who had recently served as the Taifu and Shang Shuling.

This is because there are many contradictions between the princes, and there are two families, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu. And Ma Teng, as a major member of the Liangzhou rebels, did not have a good relationship with other princes. It was only under the mediation of Yang Biao, a respected court minister, that the originally opposing princes had the patience to sit together and negotiate.

Counting the princes from all walks of life, Yanzhou Cao Cao sent the mastermind Xun Yu, and Yuan Shu sent Changshi Yang Hong. Liu Biao of Jingzhou sent the strategist Kuai Yue, Jiangdong Liu Bei sent his henchman Jian Yong, and Yizhou Liu Zhang sent the debater Zhang Song. Even Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie, who was far away in Jiaozhou, also sent his brothers to join in the fun.

Of course, all the princes were jealous of insolence, after all, due to different geographical locations, they felt different threats. Among the envoys of the various princes who participated in the deliberations. Directly bordering on insolence are Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei. However, the most enthusiastic about the formation of the "anti-Zhang Alliance" were Cao Cao and Sun Jian.

Liu Bei of Jiangdong relied on the naval army in his hands and the geographical advantages of the river, and he was not very worried about the arrogance of not knowing the water war to go south to Jiangdong. And Yuan Shu's behavior is even more incomprehensible, the envoy Yang Hong he sent actually proposed that the Son of Heaven should give Yuan Shu a higher title and appoint Yuan Shu as the king of Huainan, so that Yuan Shu can justifiably beg for humility and attack the hearts of the people under the rule of arrogance.

Yuan Shu's requirements. It's infuriating. You must know that "not the Liu family is not the king" was specially proposed by the founding emperor Gao in the "White Horse Alliance". According to the information from the north, even the most rebellious and arrogant man of the Han Dynasty vetoed the proposal of his subordinates to directly claim the king, and only dared to call himself a duke. At this moment, Yuan Shu blatantly wants to be the king, is he going to usurp the rhythm of rebellion?

However, after the initial outrage. Many of them were in a state of flux. Coming to this point, in the eyes of people of insight. Dahan can actually be regarded as finished. This was felt by the princes and envoys attending the meeting.

Look, the young emperor who lives in a makeshift simple palace has only dozens of attendants and palace maids around him, and no more than a hundred guards directly under his hands. And those important ministers of the imperial court who have not been in office for a long time are due to the lack of supply from the imperial court. There is not even a decent seal ribbon, so it can only be replaced by a wooden seal ribbon temporarily, which is obviously a post-apocalyptic scene.

Although the decline of the Han Dynasty made many scholars who grew up under the rule of the Han family feel sour, after all, it began with the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The decadence and decline of the Han Dynasty has been transitioning for more than ten years. This period of time has allowed them to slowly accept the sad reality.

Moreover, Yuan Shu is obviously not a person who needs the approval of the Son of Heaven to dare to be king. When the news of the arrogant proclamation had not yet officially reached the ears of the princes of the world, Yuan Shu had already taken a step forward and played the banner of "King of Huainan" in Shouchun. The envoy Yang Hong he sent was just to officially announce this astonishing news to the major princes.

What's more, in Yuan Shu's territory, many of Yuan Shu's subordinates openly discussed a proverb once mentioned by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, which is the so-called "those who represent the Han should be Tu Gaoye".

Regarding this proverb that has been circulated for more than a hundred years, Yuan Shu's confidant Yang Hong privately preached it to the envoys of other princes in Wanling City:

——The Han Dynasty is a fire virtue, and since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has been decayed. Since the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty has declined, it should be Tude who replaces the fire, and Yang Hong's main surname is Yuan, and Yuan has soil, so he is the representative of Tude. This is one of them.

——Yang Hong's lord's name is Shu, the meaning of "Shu" is the road in the city, and he is also a highway, so the proverbial "when Tu Gao" naturally refers to Yuan Shu. This is the second one.

Hearing these almost blatant rebellious remarks, Rao is princes and envoys were all well cultivated, and they were also taken aback. Among them, such as Xun Yu, Jian Yong and others, directly turned their faces with Yang Hong on the spot, making the party break up unhappily.

For Yuan Shu's rebellious behavior, the major princes naturally would not be happy. However, under the premise that the insolence of the north was growing more and more, the southern princes had to unite against the enemy. If there is another internal strife among the princes themselves at this time, and they launch a crusade against the powerful Yuan Shu, they are afraid of the arrogance in the north, and they will laugh when they sleep!

Moreover, if they want to crusade against Yuan Shu, several princes must use the main army. However, once someone dares to do this, who knows if the arrogance will take advantage of the situation to go south?

Considering the above fears, all the princes adopted a cold treatment method for Yuan Shu's move to become king. When discussing the important task of forming an alliance, the other princes tacitly avoided Yang Hong, which could be regarded as a lesson to Yuan Shu and express their dissatisfaction with Yuan Shu's claim to be king.

However, since the bold and reckless Yuan Shu opened this bad head, the rest of the princes will inevitably be a little impatient in their hearts.

- Yuan Shu did it, I can't do it?

The princes with such thoughts suddenly found that all the envoys had a tacit understanding to talk about it: In order to fight against the arrogance of the Northern Rebellion, should the imperial court promote the titles of those princes who are loyal to the imperial court?

Just as the son of heaven Liu Xie was angry with his chest when he was asked by the envoys of the princes, and then a news that had been circulating for a long time finally officially entered the Yuanling:

- Insolence established himself as the Duke of Zhao in Julu City, established the Duke of Zhao, and brought most of the north under his rule.

According to Lu Bu, who was released to the whole country by Zhang Mad , he was jointly elected by more than 40 important civil and military officials such as Lu Bu, Cheng Yu, Zang Ba, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Dong Zhao, and Guo Yi, and reluctantly assumed the title of "Duke of Zhao" for the sake of the stable life of the people of the world, and established the huge territory of "Duke Zhao".

After ascending to the throne of Zhao Gong, Zhang Qi immediately announced the opening of the Zhao Gong Shogunate to govern the world. The official order of the government is Guo Yi, and there are two people, Du Feng and Su Gu. As for the six Shangshulang, Cheng Yu is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Dong Zhao is the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Chen Jian [Master Chen] is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Bu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, Cui Yan is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Shen Fu is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

For the above appointments, the discerning people in the world can see the general reason.

Guo Yi, Du Feng, and Zheng Gu are all arrogant henchmen, and they all have good feats in hand, among which Guo Yi was born in a family of eunuchs, Du Feng is a representative of the Han family, and Zheng Gu is the old man of the Yellow Turban Army back then. The three of them shared the most important authority of the prime minister, which could be regarded as balancing the status of the different factions under the arrogant man.

Cheng Yu is a figure of the first generation of arrogant teachers, and he has contributed a lot in the process of his insolent rise and has made great contributions. With such qualifications and status, no one can question the "Heavenly Official" official department Shangshu with the highest official rank in the Zhao Gong shogunate and whose authority is second only to the three major members of Shangshutai.

Dong Zhao, the head of the household department, had served as the assassin of Yizhou for many years, and assisted Zhang Qi to obtain half of Jizhou, and his own political skills were also very good. Therefore, Zhang Qiang asked Dong Zhao to take the position of the most complicated household department, which also valued him very much.

put Lu Bu in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, firstly, this official position is high enough to conform to Lu Bu's status; The second is that Zhang Bu doesn't trust Lu Bu too much and doesn't want to give him direct military power. And Lu Bu's martial arts are world-renowned, and he serves as the secretary of the military department, and few generals can disagree.

As for Cui Yan, he was originally a famous man in Hebei and fled to Qingzhou with Yuan Tan. When Yuan Tan eliminated Tian Feng's forces, Cui Yan, as the backbone of Tian Feng's party, was also dismissed by Yuan Tan on the spot. Then Zhang Madness conquered Qingzhou, and Cui Yan didn't have time to flee, so he was controlled by Zhang Mad's army.

Because Cui Yan had been dismissed by Yuan Tan before being controlled by the Zhang Madman, there was no such thing as betraying the lord and seeking glory. Without the burden of identity, and seeing that Zhang Yan's future is promising, out of consideration for the future of the Cui family, Cui Yan accepted Zhang Yan's appointment as the local county magistrate. Subsequently, Cui Yan even asked Zhang Yan to let the Cui clan who moved from Tobu City move back to their hometown, which was regarded as a hostage, in order to show his obedience to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan was satisfied with Cui Yan's actions, and decided to erect Cui Yan as a banner to appease the hearts of the powerful families under his rule. In this way, Cui Yan was promoted from a county commander to a member of the six ministries of the DPRK and Central Committee in half a year.

The last Shen Fu, this person has always been infamous under the hands of insolence. However, this person is also an old man who followed him when he first started the army, and he has the ability to manage money. For a long time, the logistics of the Zhang Crazy Army relied on Shen Fu's dispatch and control.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Fu had a stronger ability and not bad qualifications, Dong Zhao, he would have almost become the head of the household department. (To be continued......)
