Chapter 429: Yuan Shu Becomes Emperor
Although the Han Dynasty was nominally divided into civil and military generals, it was very arbitrary, and many of the history of the Taishou Assassin were born as military generals, even if the literati were born in the history of the Taishou Assassin was also in charge of the army, and the military and government were not divided at all. After the reorganization of the army, Liu Ze fine-tuned the Taishou ministers of the counties and states of Xuzhou, Zhao Feng remained as the minister of Xiapi, Lu Yu remained as the Taishou of Guangling, Mi Fang was reappointed as the minister of Langya, and the position of Peng Chengxiang was held by Chen Jiao, the eye of the new branch, Zhang Fei naturally no longer did the Taishou of the East China Sea, and Chen Deng's Taishou of the East China Sea was Lu Bufeng's innumerable, Liu Ze appointed the new champion Guoyuan as the Taishou of the East China Sea, and the minister of Peiguo was appointed by Wang Jinglai, the eye of the new list.
Liu Ze's reuse of the top three in the new science has made countless students envious, it is a position of 2,000 stones, even if it is the filial piety of the court, if it is the turn of the court to sit on the 2,000 stones, then I don't know if it is the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, but from Liu Zeke's list of the list of flowers, it only took a few days of hard work, and it has been sitting in this position, it is too unbelievable, almost all the students are secretly gearing up, eager to try, and they are already looking forward to another big competition in two years.
In fact, the reason why Liu Ze dared to boldly use the three of Guoyuan Wang Jing and Chen Jiao was not because they won the top three in the exam this time, but more importantly, Liu Ze knew very well where their abilities were, so he would hand over the position of the county and country to them.
There is another important factor, Liu Ze is about to expand his territory, and a stable Xuzhou will be his base for conquering the world. It's time to put some burden on them. Guo Yuan and Wang Jing are Zheng Xuan's high feet, and Chen Jiao is a famous person in Guangling, if these talents are not used well, it will really be a tyrannical thing.

A rare heavy snowfall covered the land of Xuhuai.
In the heavy snow, Xiapi City is still majestic and upright, and the momentum is magnificent.
Although Xiapi City, which is a little higher than Luoyang City, was criticized in the early stage of construction, what was overstepping, what was more courteous, but Liu Ze didn't care about that set at all, what if it was higher than Luoyang City, is there still zΓ i in Luoyang City now? Xiapi City is located in the plain. There is no danger to be kept. Only by relying on the fortified city can we be invincible, not to mention that Xiapi is close to Surabaya, if the enemy will attack Surabaya in the future. How can you stand it without a high wall?
The walls are nothing more than a defensive tool. In the age of cold weapons. It is the most effective way to protect the inhabitants and troops of the city from harm, and the higher and thicker the walls, the higher the natural security. What etiquette and morality do you have to do with half a dime? Liu Ze disagreed with these opinions, and went his own way, and the walls of Xiapi City were rising inch by foot, and finally reached the height required by Liu Ze.
Luoyang City has long been in ruins, the world has long been a pot of porridge, who will have leisure to take care of Liu Ze's affairs, those defenders shouted for a while, and they all shut their mouths, after all, they also live in Xuzhou City, and the tall city wall can still bring them a sense of security.
On the New Year's Day of the second year of Jian'an, Liu Ze officially announced in Xiapi that he would move the Xuzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion to Xiapi City!
"Ruixue is a good year, and it seems that this year is also a good year." Liu Ze stood on the city tower and looked into the southwest direction of Shouchun, but the heavy snow blocked his vision.
At the same time, Yuan Shu in Shouchun was also amazed by this heavy snowfall, such a big snow as Huainan is estimated to be a rare wonder in a hundred years, in Yuan Shu's view, this is a harbinger, a good omen.
"Those who represent the Han should be high."
This is a proverb that has been passed down for a long time, and now that the Han Dynasty is about to run out, it seems that it is the right time to respond to this proverb. Yuan Shu secretly speculated that his own name, the sorcerer is the road in the city, and the word is the highway, isn't it just in line with this "when Tu Gao"? Han is the fire virtue, the surname Yuan is from the surname Chen, Chen is the Shun after the earth, the earth instead of the fire, the time to be lucky. Providence, providence! Yuan Shu was ecstatic in his heart, thinking that Sun Ce had pledged the heirloom jade seal here in order to borrow soldiers, Yuan Shu couldn't hold it anymore, and was ready to ascend the throne as emperor in accordance with the will of heaven.
After Sun Jian entered Luoyang, he accidentally found the jade seal of the country in the dry well of the palace, and took it as his own, and turned against Yuan Shao, angrily withdrew from the alliance against Dong and returned to his hometown in Jiangdong. Yuan Shao then sent Liu Biao to ambush Sun Jian on the way, Sun Jian died in battle, but his subordinates suffered casualties. Later, Sun Jiansi wanted revenge and led his troops to attack Jingzhou, but he was ambushed by Huang Zu in Daxian Mountain and was killed by random arrows. Sun Ce was seventeen years old, and he had no choice but to defect to Yuan Shu, destroying the city and destroying the village, and having many meritorious achievements, but he was not tolerated by Yuan Shu. Later, Sun Ce took the heirloom jade seal that he exchanged for his father's life as collateral, borrowed 3,000 men and horses from Yuan Shu, and crossed the river to fight with Liu Miao for territory.
Yuan Shu has this thought, and his subordinates are naturally indispensable to touch their hearts and slap horses, and Zhang Jiong, who is engaged in Hanoi, took the opportunity to make a divination for him, saying that Yuan Shu has the fate of the Ninety-Five, and he should say that Yuan Shu is full of joy in the present dynasty. Lord Bo Yanxiang advised: "Back then, the Zhou people accumulated virtue and merit from their ancestor Houji to King Wen, and they occupied two of the world, but they were still cautious and cautious as courtiers of Yin Shang. Although the Ming Duke has been a high-ranking official for many years, I am afraid that it is not as prosperous as the Ji family; At present, although the Han family is in decline, it seems that it cannot be compared with the brutal and unscrupulous King Yin! β
But Yuan Shu didn't listen to Yan Xiang's persuasion at all, and regardless of everyone's opposition, he insisted on going his own way and decided to claim the title of emperor.
In February of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu ascended the throne and became the emperor in the newly built palace in Shouchun, with the country name "Chen", claiming to be the emperor of the Zhongjia family, and changing the year name to the first year of Zhongye. Changed Jiujiang Taishou to Huainan Yin, placed the ministers widely, worshiped the north and south in the suburbs, named his wife Feng as the queen, named his son Yuan Yao as the prince, and his daughter as the princess, and made the folk pageant beautiful and young women enter the harem, and they were extravagant.
Yuan Shu's country name for Chen is not taken casually, anyone who wants to be the emperor, have to go back to the source, the Yuan family in the late Han Dynasty was a glorious time, the fourth three dukes, from Yuan Shu's grandfather's grandfather's generation, in the court to sit the seat of the third duke, Runan Yuan's lintel is prominent, protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials all over the world. But no matter whether you are the fourth and third dukes, or the tenth and third dukes, you are a courtier after all, and now if you want to take a step forward, that is, to usurp the throne, if you want to be justified, you have to find some high-sounding reasons. The surname Yuan comes from the surname Chen, and the surname Chen is from the Da Shun, and the earth bears the fire, which is in accordance with the will of heaven, so Yuan Shu named the country as Chen.
After Yuan Shu became the emperor, the hundred officials were sealed, Yang Hong was Situ, Zhang Jiong was Sikong, Zhang Xun was the captain, Ji Ling was the general of the chariot cavalry, Qiao Rui was the captain of the Si Li, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Chen Ji, Han Siam, Yang Feng were all generals, Li Feng and Liang Gangle were all Jiuqing, and Yan Xiang was also named Guanglu Doctor by Yuan Shu. All of a sudden, in Shouchun City, the streets were full of green ribbons, filthy officials, and Mu Guan. Some people even joked that if a brick fell from the upper floor of Shouchun City, it could hit several two thousand stones.
Although the official knighthood was also rewarded, but it was just a name, Yuan Shu was arrogant and lascivious, and spendthrift, and the two counties of Huainan had already been looted by him. These "Three Princes and Nine Qings" who were forced to tighten their belts are much more sober than Yuan Shu's mind, although the world is in chaos, you Yuan Shu is the emperor of the Han family, and the emperor of the Han family can't do anything to you, but the arrow shoots the first bird, and the princes from all walks of life may not be able to let you, the emperor, sit on the throne in peace.
Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, Sun Ce of Jiangdong sent someone to hand over the letter of renunciation, cut him off with him, and expelled Yuan Yin, the Danyang Taishou appointed by Yuan Shu, from Jiangdong. Although Sun Ce had already been self-reliant before, and he did not obey Yuan Shu's orders at all, he was still nominally a subordinate of Yuan Shu, and his official position was still Yuan Shufeng's Lieutenant Chong, and he was a general of Kou. This time, Yuan Shu was called the emperor, so he issued an edict to Sun Ce, sealing him as the history of Yangzhou Assassin, the general of the chariot and cavalry, and conferring the title of captain. Unexpectedly, Sun Ce simply turned his face and refused to accept Yuan Shu's appointment, completely drawing a line with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was so angry that he was like thunder, and scolded Sun Ce for his lack of trust.
The Han court headed by Cao Cao naturally could not sit idly by, Cao Cao was determined to go south to personally conquer Yuan Shu, Xun Yu admonished: "Fang is now Yuan Shao in the north, Zhang Xiu is Wan, Guanzhong Li Dao, Guo Yan is eyeing the tiger, if the lord is to conquer Huainan, it will inevitably be empty, I am afraid that the enemy will take advantage of it." β
Cao Cao said: "This duke pretends to take Kuang Fu Han as his own responsibility, now Yuan Shu is in chaos, arrogance is called the emperor, great rebellion, if I don't ask for it, won't it make the world laugh, how can this prince order the princes of the world?" β
Xun Yu smiled and said: "Yuan Shu is just a dry bone in the mound, why be afraid?" If you want to destroy him, it's just a gesture, now there is Liu Ze in Xuzhou, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, but the Yuan technique can be broken, why should the lord go out in person. β
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "In the former, I gave Liu Ze an edict under the pretense of the Son of Heaven and asked him to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, but although Liu Ze was edicted, he never moved his troops, and my father was helpless." β
Xun Yu smiled and said: "At this time and that time, when the lord ordered Liu Ze to go on the expedition, Yuan Shu did not claim the emperor, but now Yuan Shu is rebellious and rebellious, and he is already the public enemy of the world, Liu Ze claims to be a relative of the Han family, if he no longer acts against the rebellion, I am afraid that he will be the one who makes the world laugh." The lord wants to Xuzhou for a long time, this time Liu Ze and Yuan Shu two tigers are fighting, if the two are defeated, the lord can get Xuzhou and Huainan at his fingertips, why not? β
Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he issued an edict to Liu Ze in the name of the Son of Heaven, asking him to be a rebellious general and to conquer Yuan Shu. (To be continued......)
