Li Zheng had not yet arrived at the meeting, and there was a buzz in the wide and bright hall.

A group of heroes of the times have their own circles, gathered together, and are talking in a low voice.

Cao Cao's face was relaxed and natural, and the desk in front of him was full of all kinds of melons and fruits, and the fragrance filled the tip of his nose. Cao Cao stretched out his hand and took a Yanyang Fruit and threw it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "It tastes good." ”

"It tastes good." Guo Jia raised the wine gourd, signaled, took a sip, and showed intoxication on his face: "This Liangzhou wine is better!" ”

"These things can't survive in other places, they can only survive under Li Chongxiao, and I don't know why." Xun Yu said.

"Later, when Li Chongxiao arrives, won't Wen Ruo know as soon as he asks?"

Cao Cao laughed.

Xun Yu shook his head.

"On the ninth day of the first month, you said, what will Li Chongxiao do with us today?" It was Tao Qian, who was nearby, who spoke. Tao Qian has never had any dealings with Li Zheng, and he is always afraid of death, but he is a little worried.

"It's all on this, are you still afraid of death?" Cao Cao glanced at Tao Qian, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He really wanted to kill Tao Qian, he used to have the idea of coveting Xuzhou, but now he only avenges his father Cao Song!

Tao Qian hurriedly avoided Cao Cao's gaze and didn't dare to look at him.

Next to Tao Qian, Liu Bei's three brothers were gathering together, not knowing what they were talking about. Behind Liu Bei is Gongsun Zhan. The fierce man was looking around, looking a little impatient.

As for Sun Ce, he was closing his eyes and recuperating. Although he couldn't see his eyes, the expression on his face showed that he couldn't calm down. After all, he is still a year old, and he is not as experienced as Cao Cao and others. It's also harder to put down.

Liu Xuan's face was calm. If you want to say that in this group of people, I am afraid he will be ranked first. When he was appointed to assassinate Yangzhou, he also had ambitions. But he was repeatedly defeated by Sun Ce, and finally the mountains and rivers were exhausted. People are also old, and when it comes to the current job, I really just want to live for the rest of my life. Tai Shi Ci was by his side, silent.

Liu Biao is similar to Liu Xuan, he doesn't say a word, closes his eyes and recuperates.

To say the most anxious. But it's Liu He. Liu He is Liu Yu's son, after Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan, Liu He, with the support of Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and others, fought against Gongsun Zhan, although he experienced a lot. But to tell the truth, among the princes, he is the worst in all aspects. And when he was young, he was connected to Li Zheng's denial of the continued existence of the Han Dynasty, so he must have no good impression of Liu, so he was apprehensive.

As for the two groups of people under Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, they were much more interested.

Yuan Shao died, and the twists and turns in it. Xu You, Fu Zhu and others were clearly tight, to be honest, although it was Li Zheng's promoter. But it's these people who do it. Of course, Yuan Shao himself knew that he committed suicide.

As soon as Yuan Shao died, in a sense, this group of people. is already Li Zheng's subordinate. So they weren't apprehensive.

As for the gang under Yuan Shu, it's pretty much the same.

Yuan Shu went against the grain. In that case, he even ascended the throne and became the emperor. It's just a joke in the world.

It's no wonder that everyone rebelled and left.

Without a master, these people are free bodies, they don't have many concerns, and the choice is easy and natural.

And like other civil and military forces, the former lord is still there, and now he is facing a choice. Either he works for Li Zheng, but with the original lord in front of him, he can't let go. Or go into hiding, but you don't want to put your talent to waste. So it's very tangled.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the hall shouted, and Li Zheng arrived.

Li Zheng was dressed in a dark red regular dress with dragon patterns, and the cuffs and placket were painted with gold edges. The white jade crown is tied in a bun, and the green jade hairpin is not used.

He has a majestic figure, a handsome face, and eyes like electricity.

Wearing a Chixiao sword on his waist, walking according to the sword, it is a dragon walking and tiger step, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Slowly stepping onto the main seat, Li Zheng turned around and imprinted everyone's faces in his eyes. But he bowed slightly, laughed, and said: "Everyone here, I, Li Chongxiao, have been famous for a long time, and I am fortunate to see you today!" ”

"I've seen General Lee!"

Whether it was Cao Cao or Liu Bei, or the military generals, they all stood up and bowed in unison.

Li Zheng waved his hand, sat down slowly, and said, "Don't be polite, please sit!" ”

"I have invited you here today first to meet you. All of you here are heroes of the times, or have led one side alone, and are the princes. or once led 100,000 troops, and was able to fight well, for the great general. Or he was in charge of government affairs, controlled the people of the workers, and was the assistant of the ruler. are all the best of the times, if you don't see them, wouldn't you be sorry? ”

"The second is to talk to you about the future."

Li Zheng looked at the Junjie of the times with different expressions below, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

At this time, I saw a middle-aged man with a strong and tall body and a face as hard as a knife and an axe standing up.

I saw this person hugging his fists, looking directly at Li Zheng, and said, "General Li, in Xia Gongsun Zhan!" I am a martial artist and have a rude behavior, and I ask General Li for your forgiveness. Here, a certain family asks only one question. ”

Li Zheng smiled: "Please speak." ”

Gongsun Chan said: "Just like my Gongsun Chan, and like him Cao Mengde." We were all princes of one side, what should General Li do with us? Will they be dragged out and slaughtered directly after meeting, or will they put me under house arrest for the rest of their lives? ”

Hearing this, Li Zheng smiled, waved his hand, and said, "General Gongsun, sit down first." ”

After speaking, he took the gaze of Cao Cao and the others into his eyes, and said with a smile: "I have chatted with Gongda and others, and I have also talked about this matter. Those who have always been like princes have hardly had a good end after defeat, either death or house arrest. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zheng saw that many people below were all discolored.

"But," Li Zheng laughed, "why did those victors do this?" They are afraid! But I'm not afraid! ”

Li Zheng was full of momentum and laughed: "Don't say that you are in my hands now, even if there is no beast disaster, so what?" I can also conquer you one by one, and convince you to take them all! ”

"Not only will I not kill you, I will not put you under house arrest, I will reuse you!"

As he spoke, Li Zheng pointed at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Cao Mengde is known for his great ambition and extraordinary ability, why don't I use it?" Gongsun Bogui and Sun Bofu can fight well, why don't I use it? Not only to use. Also reuse! I'm not afraid of you messing around, I have my means. ”

"Of course," a cold light flashed in Li Zheng's eyes: "If someone really wants to mess around, don't blame me Li Chongxiao for being ruthless!" ”

As he spoke, he ignored the different expressions of the nearly 200 people present. Li Zheng looked high-spirited and said: "I, Li Chongxiao, am going to create a huge empire that has never been seen before or since, the more talents, the better, I am not afraid of ambitious people, but I am afraid that all my subordinates are a bunch of mediocre talents!" So I tell all of you in this room, yafter. I'm going to use it. ”

"But."

Saying that, Li Zheng smiled slightly: "My Origin Empire has its own rules and laws, and everything is done according to the rules." I will not give you any official position because of how famous you are. A qiē just look at merit! When the merit arrives, I will let you do it. The merit was not reached. I'm sorry, even if you are famous all over the world, you can do what you want. ”

"I have a military division under my command, so you all have to choose. Whether it is a person who chooses government affairs and civil affairs or military affairs, all of them must start from the grassroots level. ”

"Before I was appointed, I still need to go to Lingzhou Tai College for further study to gain an in-depth understanding of my governing and military policies. Appointments can only be made after passing the examination. ”

"Now, what do you think?"

After speaking. Li Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled.

Xun Yu stood up at this time, made a gesture, and said: "General Li is as open-minded as the sea, Xun Wenruo admires!" However, there is a question below, and I would like to ask General Li to answer it. ”

"Please."

Li Zheng looked at this great power. A smile on his face.

"Dare to ask General Li, the Han royal family. What is General Lee going to do? Xun Yu asked.

"The Han royal family hahaha" Li Zheng smiled: "Where is the Han royal family now?" The Han Dynasty is a thing of the past, and the royal family is not royal. Four hundred years ago, the royal family was the Win clan. Where are you now? ”

Hearing this, Xun Yu frowned, and Liu Bei frowned.

"Are you worried about Liu Xie's safety?" Li Zheng said again: "You can rest assured. I can tolerate even all the former princes here, let alone a mere Liu Xie. When I captured Guanzhong, I asked Liu Xie to choose. At that time, he chose to continue to be a puppet emperor, and now he has no choice, so I fulfilled my original promise to give him a piece of land and let him be self-sufficient. ”

"The general is massive."

Xun Yu sat down.

"So, what questions do you have?" Li Zheng looked around and said lightly: "I came to see you today to answer your questions." If you have any questions, you can ask them directly, and I know everything. ”

"General Li, under Sun Ce." Sun Ce stood up: "I want to know, can the beast disaster be extinguished?" ”

"Yes!" Li Zheng laughed loudly and said categorically: "Now that I have gathered the strength of the whole country and have your help, why worry about the injustice of the beasts?" ”

Sun Ce nodded and sat down.

"General Lee." Liu Bei got up and bowed his hand: "Under Liu Bei, since I arrived in Liangzhou, I know a lot about all aspects, but I just think that General Li is too harsh on the family?" ”

"Oh?"

Li Zheng looked at Liu Bei carefully, and when he saw his deep eyes, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly: "You shouldn't worry about it." It seems that you, Liu Xuande, are not from a prestigious family. ”

Liu Bei slightly avoided Li Zheng's knife-sharp gaze, and said with a smile: "I just feel harsh," he said, and sat down.

Tao Qian got up, bowed slightly, and said in a loud voice: "General Li, the old man is willing to retire to the countryside and live for the rest of his life, please allow it." ”

"It's the same down there." Liu Miao also stood up and saluted.

Liu Biao also stood up: "I heard that Brother Junlang lives in Baishui City, please make arrangements for the general as well." ”

Li Zheng bowed slightly: "I respect your choice." ”

"General Xie."

The three of them saluted, and their faces were relaxed.

This time we met, it didn't take much time. The princes, civil and military, all got the answer given by Li Zheng, and they may not be satisfied, but they also have their own choices.

After all, Liu Biao, Tao Qian, and Liu Miao chose because they were old and had no ambitions. After all, there are a few people who choose like this. The vast majority of people don't want to be buried, even if they succumb to Li Zheng, it's better than putting their talents into the water.

Next, after participating in the founding ceremony of the ninth day of the ninth month of September, they will enter the academy for further study, and then be assessed and appointed, and once again embark on a political career to serve Li Zheng. (To be continued)
