Wang Xu saw the dispute in the council hall completely, and in the face of the gazes cast by some people, he also felt that his attitude would determine the current situation.

Is it to take off your clothes and reprimand? Or do you want to push the boat down the river and be crowned king?

His heart is constantly swaying, not because he doesn't want to, but because he weighs the pros and cons.

It is a matter of time before the king is crowned, and as the territory under his control becomes more and more extensive, it is inevitable to further establish his authority.

Even the die-hard civil and military officers are even more anxious, because Wang Xu does not take the position, and everyone under his rule cannot take the position, especially the meritorious civil ministers, they are always those positions, and it is not meaningful for them to reward gold and silver beauties, and their needs are to be a celebrity.

In this era, the virtuous people can work hard and complain, and they can dedicate their own qi qi for the word loyalty, but they also have their own desires, that is, MG.

MG is the spiritual belief that supports most talents, and many people can do nothing, but they need this, because with MG, they feel that they are justified, and what they do is truly meaningful, and they can leave their mark in the present and future generations.

This has long been ingrained in their concepts, and even Wang Xu, who decided to implement centralized power, never dared to involve this part, just because he was too sensitive, if he couldn't really make a marquis and worship the general, it would be tantamount to cutting off everyone's spiritual beliefs and pursuits, and would completely lose everyone's support.

You can appoint an official position, but you can still set up a name, but if you divide the title, you can't say anything nonsense.

Wang Xu was named the Marquis of Taoyang by the Han Dynasty in his early years, and he was a county candidate. How to seal? Where is it sealed?

If even your own name is still a problem, wouldn't it be child's play to divide the seal between the waves? If you come out casually, you can also divide it up in a big way, and who else will respect the system and respect the system.

In doing so, it is no longer a matter of contention in the world, but an impact on the entire class order and the overall spiritual belief of this era, which is likely to lead to a large-scale revolt. Even the entire system suddenly collapsed. Since then, all strata have been in turmoil, and as the hegemon of one force, it is even more impossible to lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot and damage their own authority. To offend everyone.

Even if you have the intention to change the system. That also needs to be done gradually. Tong Guò's long accumulation and development have been established step by step, and he is now gradually changing from the military and political system to a centralized power. Subtly weakening the gate valve and prohibiting private soldiers is already the limit, and if MG is involved, it will cross the bottom line in everyone's hearts.

Therefore, the lord does not dare to move, but to divide the title of lord for the meritorious minister, then he must be in the first position, correct his own name and class status, so as to be accepted by the people of the world, let the civil and military officials accept, of course it is too early to call the emperor, the time is very immature, but the king has become a must.

But today's events were too sudden, and he hadn't even thought about it himself.

If you refuse, it will be difficult to explain to the die-hard civil and military personnel.

If you agree, I am afraid that many people who have the Han family in their hearts will resign and refrain from doing anything, and even raise some rebellions.

As the hall argued, Wang Xu was silent, and he quickly made a decision in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me!"

With his words, in an instant, the entire council hall fell silent, and even Liu Xiang, who was red-faced, held back his anger and turned to each other.

Wang Xu smiled and said gently: "Today's matter is indeed abrupt, but after thinking about it, the general feels that it is not unreasonable for the military advisor and others to mention yì, if it is not the right name, the general is temporarily in charge of the land of Jing, Yi, and Yongzhou, and it is indeed not good to say that the name is not right, and the things under the jurisdiction of the princes, the positions they appoint, are not in line with the etiquette and law, and they are true, and they can't make the people of the world think that they are rebels." Moreover, the princes are stable in the world, have made great achievements, and hold great power, if there is no famous lord, it is difficult to have majesty! ”

"Lord Shengming!"

Guo Jia and the others breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed to the ground one after another.

Liu Xiang was stunned, he looked at Wang Xu with a calm face, he couldn't speak for a long time, after a while, his face changed again and again, but in the end, he couldn't control it, and scolded: "Wang Xu, you traitor, you are actually a person who plots against you, your Wang family is a loyal and good person, and there is such a traitor as you, this disloyal, unrighteous, unkind and unfilial person, everyone in the world will be punished!" ”

"Bold Liu Xiang, dare to insult the lord!" Dian Wei rushed out from behind Wang Xu in an instant, glaring angrily.

"The Lord is angry!" Liu Ba was flustered, and hurriedly rushed out and knelt on the ground: "My father is old, and I am often confused recently. ”

"Nonsense, I'm in a clear state of mind, why am I confused!" Liu Xiang didn't care about his son at all, and suddenly waved his sleeves: "Wang Xu, although I, Liu Xiang, am not talented, but I know the word loyalty and righteousness, you are favored by the first emperor and are in a high position, but I didn't think that you were that shameless thief, how different from Dong Zhuo and others!" I just hate that I can't see your rebellious heart early and help you to abuse, and I hate that I can't cut off your head to atone for your sins! ”

"Liu Xiang, if you talk nonsense again, you will be beheaded by the knife!"

Dian Wei was the only person with a weapon in the hall, he didn't care so much, listening to his insult to Wang Xu, he immediately pulled out the saber at his waist, and glared angrily, like a copper bell.

"General Dian's anger is gone!" Liu Ba was anxious, and hurriedly grabbed his father and walked out: "Father, you are confused, come home with me!" ”

"Get out of here!" Liu Xiang suddenly shook off his son's pull, pushed him over, and scolded: "You rebel, why are you greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"Father!" Liu Ba burst into tears. "You're confused, just go back!"

", I don't have a son like you!" Liu Xiang scolded, then looked at Wang Xu again, and suddenly said: "The strong attacks have not stopped at the struggle for power, but you, a traitor, are like that Yuan Shu, and today you are claiming to be the king, isn't he trying to become the emperor in the future?" The wolf's ambition is obvious, and he wants to deceive the world! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Guo Jia and others, and angrily reprimanded: "There are also thieves such as you, who don't want to serve the country, conspire to rebel, split the country, and ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for their sins. ”

At this time, Liu Xiang burst into tears and his face was full of pain.

"Liu Xiang should be punished!"

The generals rose up angrily, intending to take it down.

"Wait!" Wang Xu hurriedly waved his hand to stop it.

At this time, Liu Ba also quickly got up from the ground, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Lord, I still hope to see the relationship between my father and his subordinates for many years, and forgive my father's disrespectful sin!" ”

Xu Shengfu, who was not far away, knelt on the ground, of course he was one of the supporters, but he never expected that it was his father-in-law who was the first to stir up trouble, his face was already ugly, and he opened his mouth to say something at this moment, but in the end he gave up and sighed helplessly.

Yizhi, Xiang Lang and others wanted to save Liu Xiang's life, but they knew that it was too late, and they didn't know what to say, so they sighed secretly.

"Hahaha......" Liu Xiang laughed sadly and angrily, tears slid down his cheeks: "What a pity for the death of the eldest husband, today is the way of rebellion, my Liu family eats Hanlu, incapable of eradicating the traitor, but has served the rebel for many years, ashamed of His Majesty, ashamed of the Han, if you want to kill, you will kill!" ”

"Alas!" Wang Xu let out a long sigh, his eyes drifted away, and when he saw Liu Xiang so loyal, his heart was also very touched.

Back then, he was also shaken and wanted to save the Han, but when Emperor Han Ling was like that, he only tried for half a month and gave up, it was really not saved, and now the Han is even more in name only, he has no reason, and it is impossible to save it.

"Someone!"

"In!"

The guards on duty outside the hall instantly walked into several people.

Everyone in the chamber was silent, some sighed, some were helpless, and some sighed!

Liu Ba's face was pale, tears stained his clothes, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and pleaded: "Please be gracious!" May the Lord be gracious! May the Lord be gracious! ”

Many people couldn't bear it, but no one dared to plead, just because Liu Xiang said it too much just now!

Wang Xu glanced at Liu Ba, but ignored it, and waved his hand at the two guards: "Duke Liu is old and delirious, so you will send him home to recuperate!" ”

"No!" The soldiers didn't ask too much and resolutely responded to the order.

Liu Xiang's spirit was extremely stimulated at the moment, and his blood surged on the spot, scolding: "Dog thief Wang Xu, why do you need to be hypocritical, I will die here, in order to show this will!" ”

As he spoke, he slammed into a stone pillar and struck his head against it.

"Father!" Liu Ba was horrified, but the rescue was not urgent.

"Gong Liu!" Yi nationality, Xiang Lang, Liu Yi and many others exclaimed.

When everyone thought that he was going to die, something strange happened, Liu Xiang had not yet hit the pillar, and suddenly fell to the ground with a "poof".

The crowd was amazed.

But there are also many people who can see it very clearly, Wang Xu is sitting at the top, and he can see it all.

The pillar that Liu Xiang ran to was in the corner of the back, and it happened to be the direction in which Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others were sitting, and when he reacted violently, Pang Tong suddenly stretched out his foot and tripped him, so that not only did he not hit the pillar, but fell on his head.

"You son, why did you trip me!" Liu Xiang fell to the ground and cursed.

"Gong Liu!" Pang Tong smiled and arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency should go home and recuperate!" ”

"Father!" Liu Ba hurriedly stepped forward: "Is my father hurt?" ”

"Rebel, you don't have to worry about it!" Liu Xiang pushed it away abruptly, not wanting to look at him.

Liu Xiang's martial arts are very good among the scribes, although he is not young now, but if he falls this time, there should not be much of a problem, if he was not mentally stimulated just now, he was bent on death, and his reaction was slow, I am afraid that Pang Tong would not be able to trip him.

Wang Xu saw that he was full of anger, so he didn't ask more, and then instructed the guards: "Wait until you send Duke Liu back to the house, don't let him be hurt again!" ”

"No!"

Liu Xiang fell firmly, after all, he was a little inflexible, and several elite guards quickly carried him away.

Liu Ba didn't dare to follow, and hurriedly turned around and thanked: "Thank you for the grace of the lord not to kill!" ”

"You sit back first!" Wang Xu nodded, and didn't want to say more.

At this time, the hall was quiet again, Guo Jia's eyes swept over everyone, took over the words in time, and said again: "Lord, take the throne as the king, and when you have a name, this should have been decided by Your Majesty, but at present, Cao Cao is in control of the court, and I am afraid of acting indiscriminately.
