At that time, Emperor Taizu was not very willing to fight with Shu, after all, he fought for many years, and his internal friction was not ordinarily large, and he really wanted to fight, not to mention that both were defeated, but also injured the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicted eight hundred, therefore, seeing that Shu took the initiative to submit, and the other party mentioned several conditions for submission were for the sake of the people of Shu, Emperor Taizu was grateful for the righteousness of the monarch of Shu, and named him the king of Shu, hereditary replacement, but no longer had military power, but the other treatment of the vassal king remained unchanged.

But this is a different thing from Lu You, right? He was the king of Shu back then, because Guishun Dazhou rewarded him with the title of King of Shu, and he didn't have military power, but he just raised him with silver for nothing.

And who is Lu You? After he is the Duke of Zhenguo, he is from a family of military generals, and it is his unshirkable responsibility to fight on the battlefield, it is a responsibility, and it is already an additional grace to give him the title of Pingyan Marquis before, is this not enough?

Crowned king, if Lu You is crowned king, what about the four dukes?

Could it be that their credit back then was small? Who hasn't accompanied Emperor Taizu to fight in the south and north for decades, who hasn't opened up the territory, who hasn't died in life, if Lu You is crowned king, how should the emperor compensate them?

"Your Majesty, no, the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished."

"When and where did the Great Zhou Law mention that it is not possible to crown a king with a different surname?" Someone retorted.

"Your Majesty, there is no precedent for a king with a different surname."

"The King of Shu is not a precedent? Furthermore, it is not a precedent to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and it is not a precedent to take the Jurchens to expand their territory? Someone else retorted.

"That being said, which of our ancestors who followed Emperor Taizu did not help to expand the territory, but which of us was crowned king?"

。。。。。。

The quarrels in the main hall came and went, even Li Ji and others joined the quarrel, but there were a few people who still remained calm and silent, one was Li Cong, who had the most right to speak, he sat on the Jinluan Hall and looked at the faces of all the beings in the audience without saying a word, and the other was the party Lu You, Lu You was a little confused, didn't seem to react, his mind was blank, and he lost the ability to think, to be exact, his mind would be full of Yan Yan, all of which were fragments when he married Yan Yan.

Lu Duan was also a silent member, he didn't expect Wang Shixiu to propose to Lu You as the king, what he would think about was whether this was Wang Shixiu's idea or the emperor's instructions, and whether he should agree or oppose.

The remaining few people who remained silent had nothing to do with this matter, but they didn't want to open their mouths to offend people, whether it was Lu You or Lu You's opponents, none of them wanted to offend, and they couldn't afford to offend.

After a short period of stunned, Lu You's mind gradually sobered up, and seeing that the hall was already in chaos, he stood up, but before he could speak, Li Cong stretched out his hand and signaled, and then said: "Pingyanhou, don't be impatient, how about listening to Xu Xiangyi first?" ”

As soon as the emperor spoke, the hall suddenly became quiet, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Xu Liangxing.

Xu Liangxing saw that he was named, so he had to stand up, "Emperor Qiqi, the minister thinks that this matter still has to be considered, after all, since the founding of Emperor Taizu, there has never been a precedent for a meritorious person with a different surname to be crowned a king, and the situation of King Shu is relatively special and should not be used as a reference." ”

Xu Liangxing focused on the words "heroes with different surnames", just to remind everyone that the king of Shu was crowned king because he was the king of Shu, not a citizen of the Great Zhou, and Lu You are two different things!

Seeing Xu Liangxing's opposition, Li Cong set his eyes on Wen Wenshan, and the eyes of the ministers also fell on Wen Wenshan with the emperor.

Because they all know that the crux of the problem now falls on Wen Wenshan, if two of the three prime ministers oppose it, plus the opposition of other important ministers in the court, this proposal will basically be nullified.

Wen Wenshan obviously knew this, so he ignored everyone's gaze, stood up without squinting, first held the wat in both hands and saluted Li Cong, and then looked up at Li Cong and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are special exceptions to everything, and the Marquis of Ping Yan has not only made great contributions to the Jiangshan Society of the Great Zhou over the years, but also created gunpowder, artillery, muskets and other war instruments for my Great Zhou to promote the prestige of our army and the country. ”

Because Wen Wenshan's words were loud and clear, and his attitude was very different from his previous golden mean, therefore, as soon as the words fell, there was a buzzing sound in the hall again, and the officials present couldn't help but weigh Wang Shixiu's proposal again, or rather, to weigh Lu You's value and weight.

"Father Qi, son-in-law seconded the words of Wang Xiang and Wen Xiang, the sixteen states of Yanyun plus the six states of Nanjing Dao of Liao, and the prestige of my Great Zhou now, who can compare with these four princes and twelve marquis?" Li Sui stood up and said loudly.

He had followed Lu You to fight for three years, and he had witnessed how many times Lu You, a weak scholar who was powerless, was born and died in person, and how many times he turned danger into danger, is this kind of twenty-two states that used his life to win still not worth a throne?

Not to mention, Da Zhou can become a powerful country in all directions, which is absolutely inseparable from Lu You.

As soon as Li Sui stood up, Li Zhi and Li Sui also stood up one after another, and then the crown prince Li Ji also stood beside the three of them, "Father Qi, and his sons also seconded the words of Wang Xiang and Wen Xiang." ”

Li Ji didn't say anything superfluous.

Seeing that the three princes and the crown prince all came out to second, several civil officials who were close to Lu You in the past also began to second, first the Ministry of Works, then the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, and then several squires and imperial history.

The military generals are still the first to stand up, "Emperor Qi, don't avoid suspicion, the minister thinks that Pingyan Marquis is indeed worthy of this throne, and the minister has a proposal, Mo Ruo will change Pingyan Marquis to Pingyan King, I don't know what the emperor wants?" ”

"Father Qi, Yongping Hou's proposal is good, King Pingyan, first there was Pingyan Hou, and now there is Pingyan King, I hope that there will be more Ping's Marquis or Ping's King in the near future, it depends on who has this ability." Li Ji echoed.

"Emperor Qi, the ministers seconded the words of the prince, the opportunities are equal to us generals, and I have eaten with my own ability, and I have not given everyone a chance, and it is not that I have no chance in the future, if you want to be a marquis and a prince, you can show your own skills." Yan Peng stood up.

"Your Majesty, colleagues, please allow me to say a few words as a father, the dog has been unable to speak since he was a child, and even his temperament is very withdrawn, and he is often sick, for this reason, the minister once gave up on him, and left the child to fend for himself. Lu Duan talked about Lu You's growth history, also talked about his marriage with Yan Yan, and finally talked about his original intention to go to the battlefield and his performance on the battlefield.
