"See the lord!" Knowing that Zhuge Liang and the three of them were coming, Liu Zhang would not slack off, he appeased the women, and then came to the conference hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Three gentlemen, excuse me! Have a seat! Sitting on the main seat, Liu Zhang waved his hand to let the three of them sit down, and then asked straight to the point: "The three gentlemen are here, what is the matter?" ”

"Lord Qi, news has come from Liangzhou, the Qiang people and the Rongdi tribes have been pacified, and Han Sui has been crowned!" Guo Jia took out a piece of information and handed it to Liu Zhang, with a smile on his face. Now that Liangzhou has been flattened, Liu Zhang's rule can be described as solid, as long as it develops for a few more years, it is easy to sweep the world.

"Good!" Although he failed to capture Han Sui alive, he was able to kill him, which was considered a success, and Liu Zhang did not want to be demanding. However, if it is just such a piece of news, it would be a bit of a fuss to let the three major masterminds under his command act together. Therefore, Liu Zhang did not speak, and only waited for the three of them to continue to report.

"Lord, now that you have mastered the six states, but your official position is still a hussar general and a champion marquis, it is really a little inconsistent with your identity, we would like to ask you to improve your official position! You must know that Cao Ying has already proclaimed himself prime minister, Sun Ce inherited Sun Jian's title, and Sun Quan is also known as Marquis Wu, how can your status be lower than them? As the saying goes: if the name is not right, it is not good. The lord is a relative of the Han family, and he should erect the banner of Kuang Fu Han family! "Zhuge Liang was loyal to orthodoxy all his life, which was both his advantage and his failure. However, his defeat is based on Liu Bei's weakness, and Liu Zhang may not let him fail!

"Bonghyo, what do you say?" Regarding Zhuge Liang's opinion, Liu Zhang didn't care very much. In troubled times, strength is important, and everything else is illusory. In the past, a master once said the nine-character policy: build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slow down the king. With these nine words, he has achieved several emperors, and Liu Zhang doesn't care about his reputation, so he doesn't care about his official position. However, since Zhuge Liang mentioned it, he didn't mind being promoted!

"What Kong Ming said is very true, and we think so too!" Guo Jia and Jia Xu bowed together, who didn't want their lord to achieve great things. Liu Zhang's champion Hou's hat on his head and the purple clothes on his body should have been changed a long time ago!

"Since you all agree, you will be promoted!" Liu Zhang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, for me, the official position is just a trivial matter, you can look at it!" ”

"This can't be done, the official position we have proposed requires the cooperation of the lord!" Jia Xu said with a smile: "Of course, if the lord doesn't want to cooperate, it's okay, it's just easy to be infamy!" ”

"What do you mean? You don't want me to be a man! Looking at the strange expressions on the faces of the three people, Liu Zhang's heart was a little clear. Historically, after the formation of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Ying immediately proclaimed himself Duke of Wei. It's not that he's more ambitious, but he wants to see the minds of everyone under his command. However, his mind saw that Cao Ying also paid a huge price for this, and Xun Yu separated from him!

"There is no wiser than the lord!" Guo Jia said with a smile on his face: "With the current power of the lord, plus the identity of the Han family, it is not a problem to be the king!" However, in order to take care of everyone's mood, it is recommended that the lord first call the prince, and then the king! ”

"As for the issue of being the emperor, let's talk about it when Liu Xie is caught!" Without waiting for Guo Jia to finish speaking, Jia Xu smiled and said: "When Liu Xie is caught, let him give the Zen position to the lord, and then the lord can give him a dedication after he dies!" ”

"Uh..." Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that Liu Xieshi was called Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but it turned out to be a ghost made by Jia Lao Fox. However, this dedication is also quite in line with Liu Xie's identity.

"My lord, what is your opinion?" Seeing Liu Zhang stunned, Guo Jia knew that he was distracted again, and immediately called him back.

"Fengxiao, you and Jia Xu check to see which people under my command oppose the title of public and who are in favor. If my cronies don't approve of it, then slow it down so as not to break their hearts! Liu Zhang sighed, after all, he was not Cao Ying, and he couldn't ruthlessly kill his cronies who had followed him for more than ten years!

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Don't worry, the lord has already communicated with some important ministers, and they all agreed, so we came to ask the lord!" As for those generals, they all look forward to the lord and the horse, don't say that you are only calling the prince now, even if you are called the king and the emperor, no one will object! ”

"That's great!" Liu Zhang nodded and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Actually, it's very simple, we will find someone to ask the lord to call the lord, and after the lord refuses, then collectively go to the table to persuade you to call the lord, and you will refuse again! In the end, Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang and I will take the lead, kneel and ask the lord to be the duke, and you will agree! Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders and said he was helpless. In fact, it is a very simple thing, but I have to make three requests and three resignations, for fear of being criticized. But who can't see the Tao in it?

"It's really easy!" Liu Zhang smiled: "Just do what you want, when will it start?" ”

"Isn't the lord preparing to send troops to Yanzhou?" Guo Jia said with a smile: "After three days, you arrange a grand court meeting and convene everyone to discuss the dispatch of troops." At the court meeting, I will order people to make suggestions. The lord can leave angrily, and we will invite you again! ”

"Good!" Liu Zhang ordered: "Pass the order, and after three days, convene everyone for a grand court meeting to discuss the dispatch of troops!" ”

"Yes!" Guo Jia and the three of them glanced at each other, Zhuge Liang seemed the most excited, after all, Liu Zhang's reputation was correct, and he would not have the feeling of betraying the big man!

Three days later, according to Liu Zhang's order, all the people in important positions in Chang'an's official residence arrived. When the prayer was finished, the people took their seats. Liu Zhang smiled: "Everyone, it has been more than a month since I came back from Yizhou. Although he welcomed two concubines, he couldn't extricate himself from falling into Gentle Township, don't you say? ”

"What the lord said is very true!" Everyone immediately laughed when they heard this, and no one wanted their father-in-law to be a drunkard, otherwise it would be too unworthy.

Liu Zhang stretched out his hands and pressed them down, and when everyone's laughter stopped, he said with a straight face: "Therefore, I invite you here today to discuss whether to send troops to Cao Ying, or Jiangdong!" Although everyone knows that I have two concubines, one from the Sun family and one from the Cao family, please remember that no matter where my wife and concubine come from, you are only responsible for our interests! ”

"My subordinates understand!" Everyone bowed their hands together, indicating that they understood what Liu Zhang meant.

Suddenly, a man in a crimson official uniform stood up and said, "My lord, if the so-called name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not be done." You sent troops to attack those rebels, it can be said that you are in response to the heavens, but if you want to attack Cao Ying and Sun Quan, what name do you take? If you want to fight, where do you put the prestige of the Han? Where did the Emperor of the Han Dynasty go? ”

Hearing this man's words, everyone was like ducks pinched by the throat, stunned, still very surprised, and couldn't help but distance themselves from the official. Although some people already knew that someone had asked Liu Zhang to be called a public official, they didn't expect this person's words to be so sharp. Everyone was a little worried, for fear that Liu Zhang would get angry!

"What this adult said is wrong, Cao Ying's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a thief. The Sun family has been stealing Jiangdong for many years, and I am a member of the Han family, how can I ignore it? Although Liu Zhang didn't expect this matter to be so intense, he had already prepared for it. Looking at this official again, he doesn't know him at all, let alone get angry with a cannon fodder.

"The lord is ridiculous!" The official said again: "Although Cao Ying's name is Han Xiang, he is actually a Han thief, and the Sun family stole Jiangdong." But you are only a champion and a hussar general, and they are above you in both official positions and positions, so what qualifications do you have to crusade against them? ”

"Oh?" Liu Zhang frowned and asked, "I'm not qualified, who is qualified?" ”

"General, Duke Qin!" The official's eyebrows fluttered and he spat out two positions, making everyone confused.

You must know that since He Jin's death, the general is Yuan Shao, and now Yuan Shao, it is estimated that even the corpse has turned to ashes! As for the Duke of Qin, in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, few people have ever been called Gong. In the current imperial court, there are no generals or Qin Dukes at all! However, none of the people in the council chamber are fools, and combined with the gossip some time ago, many people have come to their senses.

"What the hell do you mean?" Even if Liu Zhang understood, he couldn't say it, his face sank and said: "In the imperial court, there is no one who has these two positions at all, do you want to ask Tianlei to kill Cao Ying and Sun Quan?" ”

"Of course not!" The official said: "The lord has set six states, leveled foreign clans, and the great merit is due to the community, and the merit should be rewarded!" But you are still a mere champion now, and your fiefdom is only 2,000 households, doesn't it make the world feel cold? In the next opinion, the lord should obey the heavens and take up the post of general and Qin Gong, in order to please the world and help the Han family! ”

"Please take up the post of general and Duke of Qin, conquer the rebellion of the world, and support the Han family!" Hearing the song and knowing the meaning of the strings, everyone immediately understood the official's intentions and knelt on the ground in unison. After all, Liu Zhang has been promoted, and they can also rise to the top!

"Nonsense!" Liu Zhang slapped the case and said angrily: "Do you want to trap me in injustice? ”

Zhang Fei fell to his knees and shouted: "Big brother, you are a member of the Han family, let alone being the Duke of Qin, what can you do if you are the King of Qin?" Now half of the country is in your hands, if you are willing, you will be the emperor, and the people of the world will not have objections! I ask my eldest brother to be the emperor! ”

"Yide, I said that I connived at you too much, and you can say this kind of thing?" Liu Zhang overturned the desk in front of him, kicked Zhang Fei to the ground, turned around and walked out of the hall, leaving everyone looking at each other.

"Yide, are you alright?" Zhao Yun and the others hurriedly helped Zhang Fei up, but found that he was still smirking.

"It's fine!" Zhang Fei came back to his senses and asked, "Brothers, do you want the eldest brother to go further?" ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" Zhao Yun and the others are Liu Zhang's hardcore, today Guo Jia is going to send someone to propose the matter of being called a public, who of them doesn't know, but they didn't expect Zhang Fei to make such a fierce fuss, and even called Yanjing out!

"In that case, please come with me to knock on the eldest brother..."Zhang Fei's face was straight, and he actually tried to persuade him, but he found that no one wanted to be with him, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
