Silence, silence in the hall again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, when Liu Zhang heard that Sun Quan was about to become king, he lost his mind a little. After a long time, Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Fengxiao, I won't be king!" ”
"Why?" Guo Jia frowned and said: "If Sun Quan and Cao Ying are kings, if you don't become kings, you will disappoint everyone!" ”
"Fengxiao, I have made up my mind, no need to say more!" Liu Zhang waved his hand and said, "You go down!" ”
"Yes, the subordinates are retired!" Glancing at Liu Zhang deeply, the corners of Guo Jia's mouth were raised high, and he secretly said in his heart: "Lord, although you don't want to be the king, this matter is not something you can decide." Sometimes, you have to listen to your subordinates, too! ”
"Alas..."After Guo Jia left, Liu Zhang sighed deeply, although he was a little puzzled that Guo Jia was so good at talking, he didn't think much about it. In his opinion, Guo Jia would never harm him. Unexpectedly, just because he didn't think much about it, he was calculated by Guo Jia!
Leaving the chamber, Guo Jia did not go back to deal with government affairs, he first found his old partner Jia Xu, and then called Xu Shu, and the three of them began to calculate Liu Zhang in the back room. After listening to Guo Jia's narration, Xu Shu was also a little unhappy, after all, he was a supporter of Liu Zhang, and the higher Liu Zhang's status, the higher his achievements. As the saying goes: a person attains the Tao and the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven. Only when Liu Zhang attains the Tao, Xu Shu and these chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven with them!
"No, how can the eldest brother not be king? I'm going to persuade him! Xu Shu thought that he had a good relationship with Liu Zhang, and after listening to Guo Jia's words, he was going to find Liu Zhang!
"No!" Jia Xu said: "Since the lord has made a decision, when will you see him change?" This is a matter of long-term consideration! ”
"Think long-term? What's the plan? Xu Shu frowned and said, "In today's situation, who can change the mind of the lord?" ”
"No one can change, but we can force the lord to comply!" Jia Xu's face was gloomy, as if he was talking about some evil plan, which made Xu Shu a little creepy!
"I said Wenhe, can you always talk without such an expression, why do you feel that you have become more and more insidious recently?" Scratching his head, Xu Shu was a little helpless, what kind of people are these, calculating that the lord is more gloomy than the other!
"This is my specialty, and my lord has taken a fancy to me!" Jia Xu was not ashamed, but proud, he pinched the beard on his chin and said: "Fengxiao, you contact the court officials, Yuan Zhi, you contact the state assassins, and I contact all the generals." When the news of Sun Quan's claim to be king spreads, let's write together to ask the lord to be king! ”
"No!" Guo Jia smiled: "Sun Quan is not enough, you have to wait for Cao Ying!" Only when Cao Ying is the king, can we persuade the lord to also be the king! ”
"What if Cao Ying is called king, and the lord refuses to be king?" Xu Shu frowned, he was not very proficient in the methods of forcing the palace, after all, he was a Confucian general who led troops to fight. What's more, he regards Liu Zhang as his eldest brother and benefactor, and will never do anything to be sorry for Liu Zhang!
"Then we'll resign en masse!" Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said; "I heard that all the ministers under my command are going to resign, and it would be strange if the lord no longer called the king!"
"Isn't it!" Xu Shu's eyes widened and said; "If you calculate the lord like this, are you not afraid that the lord will settle accounts afterwards?"
"I'm afraid! The lord is not a mediocre lord, even if he settles accounts afterwards, he is raised high and falls gently! "For Liu Zhang's surname, Jia Xu and Guo Jia understand it very thoroughly. I think that back then, they violated Liu Zhang's order and burned Guangzong's Yuan Shao's grain, but in the end, Liu Zhang didn't let them make up for their mistakes! This time, they just forced Liu Zhang to be the king, and they expected that Liu Zhang would not be too difficult!
"This..."Xu Shu was not stupid, he smiled and said;" Since both gentlemen say so, I will not have an opinion, and I will take the two gentlemen as the first to see! ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "In this case, we will act separately according to the plan, as long as Cao Ying becomes king, we will immediately persuade him!" ”
"Good!" Xu Shu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, persuading Liu Zhang to be the king is not a bad thing, even if it is persecution, it can only prove that Liu Zhang is high-spirited. Poor Liu Zhang didn't know that the three major strategists under his command had calculated him again!
Fifteen days later, the wounded soldiers in the Tiger Prison had almost healed, and the soldiers who could not return to the team also went to settle in various states under the arrangement of Guo Jia and Jia Xu. Liu Zhang's army has regained its former glory, but the number is much less! In Xuchang, the generals of Cao Jun have basically recovered from their injuries, but Cao Ying has left!
In Shouchun City, Cao Ying's purge has begun. As Cao Ying's cronies, Hua Xin's ruthlessness is no less than Cheng Yu. After receiving Cheng Yu's letter and knowing that Cao Ying wanted to be king, Hua Xin hyped up the matter. Before Cao Ying returned to Shouchun, this matter had already caused a storm in the city. Some loyal ministers of the Han family began to connect up and down again, but this time, Liu Xie did not make any moves!
It's not that Liu Xie doesn't want to move, but Cao Jie doesn't let him move. As Cao Ying's daughter, Cao Jie knows that her father is powerful, and she doesn't want her father to get along with her husband! However, Liu Xie's obedience is not entirely due to Cao Jie's credit, as well as Empress Fu's surname, he doesn't want Cao Ying to find an excuse to kill. Of course, part of the reason for this is that he was disappointed in those Han family loyalists!
After returning to Shouchun, the people who opposed Cao Ying's claim to be king have already died a large number of votes, including Cui Yan in prison! But even if Cao Ying wants to be king, he can't say it directly, and he still needs to be recommended by the ministers. Under the efforts of Hua Xin and Cheng Yu, a large number of Cao's courtiers jumped out, and a letter of enclosure almost drowned Liu Xie!
Under the pressure of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and also for his own life, Liu Xie had to pick up the Zhu pen and write a holy decree to crown Cao Ying as the king of Wei, but Cao Ying resigned. It's not the first time Liu Xie has done this kind of thing, he understands what Cao Ying meant, he wants him to seal it three times in a row! As a result, two more holy decrees arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Cao Ying reluctantly thanked him for the difficult decree, even if everyone knew that he was acting!
Since Cao Ying was crowned King of Wei, Sun Quan naturally could not be left behind. Cao Ying also needs to join forces with him to deal with Liu Zhang. Sealing one is also sealed, sealing two is still sealed, and the helpless Liu Xie wrote a holy decree to Sun Quan and named him King Wu! Sun Quan is not as hypocritical as Cao Ying, whether there is a holy decree or not, he is still the king. Since Liu Xie gave it, he is not welcome!
After getting the holy decree of the king, Sun Quan and Cao Ying were ready to claim the throne on the same day, and at the same time issued sanctions against Liu Zhang! Although in terms of official positions, the two are not qualified to sanction Liu Zhang, but now that the two have been crowned kings, they are a head above Liu Zhang in the title, so they are naturally qualified to give orders to Liu Zhang. This is also one of the reasons why Guo Jia wants to persuade Liu Zhang to be the king! If you can't stop it, you can't dwarf people!
Hearing that Cao Ying was also king, Liu Zhang was really angry, even though he knew that Cao Ying would be king one day! However, even if Liu Zhang is angry again, he will not have time to care, because his trouble is coming! After Cao Ying became the queen, he commanded the assassins of the six states, the officials of various ministries, and even the generals of the whole army to write to him and ask him to be the king!
In order to quell the kingship incident, Liu Zhang returned to Chang'an and convened everyone for a large court meeting. At the court meeting, he carried all the persuasions into the hall, and pointed to them and asked, "Can anyone tell me what is going on?" ”
Tian Feng Shi Ran arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiqi, Cao Ying and Sun Quan, the two clowns who jumped off the beam, have become kings, and announced that the world is ready to sanction you, how can you not lower them." Therefore, the civil and military officials and the whole army ask you to be king! ”
"What Tian Gong said is very true!" Tian Feng's words made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military applaud, but made Liu Zhang angry for a while!
"Yuan Hao, although my surname is Liu, and the title of king is not against the system of the imperial court, but in this case, what is the difference between being crowned king and ignoring the imperial court?" Liu Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, in fact, it was a trivial matter for him to be crowned king, but he didn't want to get a bad name because of this matter!
"The lord's words are wrong, where is the court now? Or, aren't we the court? As one of the most qualified strategists under Liu Zhang, he stood up as a leader. That thin body, but it makes everyone feel incomparably majestic!
Seeing that those who came forward were all important figures under his command, Liu Zhang touched his nose and said, "Zhicai, that's not what you said!" If the people of the world have opinions about me because I am king, why bother? ”
"Gong Qin's words are wrong!" An old man strode into the council hall, and he bowed to Liu Zhang; "The old man has seen Qin Gong!"
"Hole... Uncle Kong?! Liu Zhang immediately stood up and returned the salute, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”
"When I heard that Cao Ying and Sun Quan were kings, the old man was full of indignation and anger, so much so that he sighed all night and couldn't sleep at night! I suddenly heard that everyone asked you to be king, and I hereby persuade you! Kong Rong's face was full of anger, but he said his intention straight to the point.
"This..."Liu Zhang couldn't grasp Kong Rong's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Does my uncle want to persuade me to be king, or persuade me not to be king?" ”
"Of course, it's king!" Kong Rong Zhengse said: "Duke Qin is an authentic Han clan relative, and he has great merit, and he is the king of the king!" ”
"Alas..."Liu Zhang sighed: "Uncle Kong, I have never thought about being the king, so why should you force each other?" ”
"Qin Gong listens to me, it's never too late to decide!" Kong Rong said with a smile: "Some time ago, Duke Qin should have heard about Cao Ying's calculation with Fu Wan. At that time, in the palace, His Majesty once said. Cao thief is powerful, if one day, he encounters an accident, please ascend the throne as the emperor! ”
"What?" Liu Zhang frowned; "Liu Association said such a thing? I really don't believe it! ”
"Gong Qin, I heard this with my own ears, could I be lying?" Kong Rong was a little displeased, as a great Confucian, he really hadn't told a lie!
"Big brother, since King Chen Liuwang said so, why do you refuse? King Chen Liuwang has been trapped for a long time, I think you will directly become the emperor and dominate the world! Zhang Fei's loud voice sounded again, but everyone's eyes lit up, and Kong Rong seemed to feel that it made sense. In the hall, there was a sudden silence!
