Chapter 5 Sooner or later
In front of the civil and military officials, the Son of Heaven must show due prestige, and even more so, he must show enough mystery, otherwise, there will be a danger of being despised by the civil and military officials.
Once the Son of Heaven is despised by his subordinates, it means that he will accept the direct challenge of his ministers.
The profession of emperor must always maintain a cautious attitude of walking on thin ice, and they cannot make mistakes because they cannot afford to lose.
Once they fail, they have only one end, and that is to be doomed.
Although the fifteen-year-old Liu Wei had already gone through many hardships, he did not know what to do to be a good emperor, and since he ascended the throne, he had never had the experience of being in power.
From the Empress Dowager He who was in charge of the Linzhao Dynasty, to Dong Zhuo, who was later abolished, their existence almost completely emptied the imperial power.
The young Liu Bian, since the day he ascended the throne, has become a marionette in the hands of others.
When Liu Biao showed his frivolous behavior in public, An Lushan and Shi Siming's expressions looked very unnatural, and this scene happened to be seen by Liu Bian, but Liu Bian, who had nothing to do, did not take this matter to heart, he actually took all the mistakes on himself, which was very unprofessional.
Because no matter when and where, the Son of Heaven will not be wrong, and even if he is wrong, he cannot admit it.
Liu Wei got up slowly, walked down from the imperial steps, paced in front of An Lushan, personally picked him up, and looked at the tall An Lushan, Liu Bian's heart instantly ignited a sense of pride.
Liu Wei stood on tiptoe with a smile, pinched An Lushan's shoulder hard, and said, "I have to love Qing, like a tiger with wings." ”
Zhuge Yan saw that An Lushan was only smirking there, but he didn't have the slightest intention of squatting down, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord An, you are presumptuous, a minister, how can you let Your Majesty accommodate you?" ”
When An Lushan heard this, he hurriedly said with sincere fear: "The minister was overjoyed for a while, and it was inevitable that he would get a little carried away, and please take care of Your Majesty, don't be like the minister." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Liu Wei waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "There are many capable people with arrogance, and it is rare to see someone as simple and cute as An Aiqing. ”
"Won Your Majesty's love, the minister is overjoyed, and I am willing to be a guard dog by Your Majesty's side to repay Your Majesty's kindness." An Lushan said, bowed to the ground again, and made a big salute to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei was very happy when he saw An Lushan's posture very low, so he waved his hand and immediately rewarded An Lushan with the post of Central General.
Seeing this, An Lushan immediately kowtowed to Liu Wei again and again to thank him.
After arranging An Lushan's position, Liu Wei moved his eyes to Shi Siming, who had always been silent, and after frowning and pondering for a while, Liu Wei decided to be a good person to the end, so he canonized Shi Siming as the secretary of the military department in public.
Liu Wei had no experience in being an emperor, and now he was carried away by the all-round attributes of the two, Zhuge Yan couldn't stop it, and now that the raw rice had been cooked into cooked rice, Zhuge Yan had no choice but to swallow the words that had come to his mouth back into his stomach.
After sending An Lushan and Shi Siming away, Liu Wei looked sideways at Zhuge Yan, who was frequently glancing at him just now, and said, "They have already left, if you have anything to say in your heart, just say it." ”
Liu Wei had already extracted enough information and intelligence from Liu Keming's mouth before, and he knew that the young eunuch in front of him, who was five years older than him, was one of the closest people to him in the current world.
When Zhuge Yan heard this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Qi Qi master, the central general and the secretary of the military department are both in charge of the army, such a position, if you are not a confidant, you can't let it go, and the master should treat it carefully." ”
Liu Wei glanced at Zhuge Yan silently, and said: "Let the capable person occupy his position and make the best use of his talents, which can have the miraculous effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, what is wrong with doing this?" Is it necessary to put mediocre people in such powerful positions, so that their corpses can be vegetarian? ”
"This..."
Zhuge Yan obviously felt some dissatisfaction from Liu Bian's words, so he had to pinch his nose and bow to Liu Bian, and said: "The slave is dull and thoughtless, and almost missed the master's major event, please punish the master heavily." ”
Liu Wei looked like he was pointing at the country, and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, and you need to pay more attention to things in the future, listen and watch more, and learn by heart." ”
"Yes."
The next day, the morning pilgrimage.
Xuanzheng Palace.
Ignoring the opposition of the ministers, Liu Wei asked Zhuge Yan to read out the appointment edict of An Lushan and Shi Siming in public, and then waved his sleeves, leaving the ministers who were still in the palace to persuade him, and turned around and left the Xuanzheng Palace.
It wasn't until today that Liu Wei experienced what it was like to be an emperor.
This feeling of having everything under control made Liu Wei suddenly feel fluttering.
However, the fly in the ointment was that the opposition of the ministers made Liu Wei feel very unhappy.
"The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, the road must be taken step by step, everything is difficult at the beginning, take your time." Liu Wei actually comforted himself silently.
In the following days, Liu Wei began a happy and willful career as an emperor.
And his henchmen An Lushan and Shi Siming also took the initiative to invite An Folds every few days, and their words were so flattering that Zhuge Yan felt sour when he saw it.
Time flies like flowing water, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
2nd year of God Blessed, December 16th.
Liu Wei deserted again, and he said that he was sick and did not go to the early court.
Zhuge Yan looked at Liu Wei who was holding his chin in contemplation in front of the imperial case with a sad face, and said, "Master, you haven't been to the morning court for seven days, it seems a little inappropriate to go on like this." ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he didn't pick up Zhuge Yan's stubble at all, but asked another thing: "When was the last time An Lushan and Shi Siming asked me for an excerpt?" ”
Zhuge Yan sighed helplessly and said, "They haven't given their master a farewell for half a month." ”
"Oh."
Liu Wei nodded and said, "I think it should be because I am busy with official business and have no time to take a break." ”
Just as Liu Wei's voice fell, Zhuge Yan had not yet spoken back, but he heard a sudden shout of killing outside the palace.
At this time, several small yellow men stumbled into the Palace of Heart Cultivation and said to Liu Wei, who was sitting behind the imperial case: "Your Majesty, it's not good, An Lushan and Shi Siming have rebelled. ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he stood up suddenly, and subconsciously blurted out: "Impossible, absolutely impossible." ”
Rao is shouting of killing has come to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Liu Wei is still deceiving himself: "I treat the two of them like a mountain, how can they rebel?" ”
As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, he saw An Lushan and Shi Siming, who were wearing armor, walking in from outside the door with steps that they did not recognize their six relatives.
Seeing this, Liu Wei asked in a trembling voice in disbelief, "What is today's move?" ”
Shi Siming, who has always been silent but not shocking, heard this, and immediately blurted out: "In order to be the emperor." ”
As soon as Shi Siming's words fell, a middle-aged scribe wearing Wenshan next to him immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "No, no, no, Zhuge Yan and others are messing with politics, and I am here to eradicate the traitors." ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he looked sideways at Zhuge Yan, who was standing on the side of the imperial case, never saying a word, but regarded death as home, and sighed: "I hate that I didn't listen to my companion's words earlier, so that I fell into today's situation." ”
At this time, An Lushan, who had not spoken for a long time, said coldly: "Please Your Majesty immediately tie your hands, and don't do any more useless struggles." ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he reluctantly glanced at the dragon chair behind him, and then smashed his right hand into a fist on the royal case, and said, "As the Son of Heaven, how can I fall into the hands of traitors?" Today is just death, don't say more. ”
With that, he sighed, took the sword from the weapon rack behind him, and then drew his sword in public and killed himself in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
