50。 Negotiated as 'Emperor'
Prime Minister's Chamber...
An hour after Zhang Xiu ordered a group of civil and military officers to come, they all rushed over.
The civil and military ministers under his command all gathered together, and in the hall, there was a silence, silently looking at Zhang Xiu sitting in the hall.
"Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, and at the same time, he sent a letter inviting me to be emperor... You can say whatever you think. Zhang Xiu looked at everyone and said.
Everyone also heard about Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, and they also heard that Yuan Shu canonized the princes...
But I really didn't expect that when I came to Zhang Xiu, I invited Zhang Xiu to be the emperor together???
Should I say it or not, Yuan Shu is a batch of witty people!
Once Zhang Xiu agreed, then he didn't need to worry about this big enemy.
And Yuan Shao's eyes are now focused on Hebei, as for the princes of the Central Plains and the princes of Jingzhou, who can compete with them?
Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Lu Bu in Xuzhou, Sun Ce in Jiangdong or Cao Cao in Yanzhou?
Combined, the strength of their troops was barely able to defeat Yuan Shu.
But if it is alone, the soldiers and horses are not as good as Yuan Shu's.
Now the Han court is in Chang'an, Zhang Xiu is already the world's first minister, now there are people outside the court usurping the Han throne, decoration at this time can be in the name of the Han Emperor, issued a letter to ask for thieves, summon the princes of the world, suppress the rebellion and help the Han.
But even if Zhang Xiu issued a text, I am afraid that few princes in the world are willing to help.
At this time, who is still loyal to Hanting?
No one is faithful.
Therefore, Zhang Xiu needed to travel a long way to conquer Yuan Shu.
Let's not talk about how to deal with the grain and grass dispatched by his army, just a little bit, what if the rest of the princes do it at this time?
Therefore, Yuan Shu's step is not bad!
"The prime minister now sits on Yong, Liang, and the three continents, with a million, and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, even if he is called the emperor, what does it matter." Li Dao was the first to come out and speak.
Although Li Dao has no real power now.
To put it bluntly, it is the original team.
At this time, he stood up, and the Xiliang faction responded one after another.
They followed Zhang Xiu, what did they work for him?
Don't you just want to be the minister of the dragon?
And as Li Dao and others stood up, Gao Shun, Xue Li, Liu Qi, and Xu Huang also came out one after another and responded at the same time.
Zhang Xiu did not listen to the opinions of these people.
Eventually... They are all rough people who only know how to fight, and it is wrong to listen to them...
Zhang Xiu still wanted to see the opinions of a few scribes.
Seeing Zhang Xiuwang coming, Li Ru was the first to step forward and salute, and then said, "Dare to ask what the prime minister thinks?" ”
"To tell the truth, the emperor is a name, and I can ask Liu Xiechan to let him at any time. There is no hurry, but if you send troops at this time, you will not get any benefits, and you may end up in danger. Other than that... If this is the time, what should the princes of that side attack... Of course, if you have any good suggestions, you can also say them. Zhang Xiu said.
"After 400 years of the Han Dynasty, it has reached the end of its life, and the contributions made by the prime minister in the land of Yongliang over the years have won the hearts of the people, and it is not indispensable to be called the emperor.... It's just that once he becomes emperor, it is likely that the prime minister will face the situation of the princes coming to attack... Victory, the prime minister reigns in the world, defeat, the prime minister..."Li Ru did not continue.
But the meaning is self-explanatory.
After seeing Li Ru finish speaking, Guo Jia took a step forward and continued: "Regardless of whether he is the emperor or not, Jia will do what he has learned all his life to help." ”
For Guo Jia, it was Zhang Xiu who gave him the greatest respect and opportunity.
Hanting has never been worth his attention.
Therefore, whether Zhang Xiu is the emperor or not, he doesn't care.
Maybe this time is indeed not the best time to be the emperor, but it is still the same sentence, if this battle is to be fought, it is to help Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others expand their territory.
In the end, not to mention the cost of money and food, there will be a loss of soldiers and horses. But the actual thing, you can't get anything at all.
Now that the people in Guanzhong and Xiliang are aspiring, what does it matter if Zhang Xiu with armor is called the emperor?
Even if the princes want to crusade, they will choose Yuan Shu.
No one will choose the domineering Zhang Xiu to fight.
After Jia Xu saw that both of them had finished putting forward their opinions, he continued: "In the past, after the Zhou Dynasty, Ji accumulated virtues and merits, as for King Wen, there are two out of three parts of the world, and he still serves Yin. If the lord wants to be the emperor, he may be hindered from conquering the world in the future, although the Han family is small, there are still many people who want Han, once Liu Xie is deposed, Liu Biao of Jingzhou or Liu Zhang of Yizhou, there must be someone who can be supported as the emperor. Because they are all authentic Han families..."
"Then Wenhe, if I don't become the emperor, what do you think I should do now?" Zhang Xiu asked.
"This..."
Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since Yuan Shu has openly usurped his position, the world will look sideways, people and gods will be angry, and there will be little help for the unjust, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce and others will definitely not send troops to help him, otherwise it will be rebellion, as for Lu Bu, he still has a Chen Palace by his side, and he will definitely not allow Lu Bu to make a move against the lord at this time." Moreover, once the lord sends troops to suppress rebellion, it is to hold high the imperial banner and act for the heavens, if the princes of the towns do not obey the edict, it is a rebellion, and after that.... We can use this as an excuse to hit whoever we want. ”
Zhang Xiu pondered for a while, and then said: "Li Ru said that if he is the emperor, maybe the princes will unite to attack, win the king's landing, and defeat Wujiang Xiang Yu. But even if you don't claim to be the emperor, victory and defeat are the same. Wen He said that the emperor will lose the hearts of the people in other continents, but if we go to fight Yuan Shu, we will consume a lot if we don't get anything. That being the case... I feel that there is nothing to think about, calling the emperor is my only choice, as for saying that the princes outside the Guanwai will unite to attack.... Hehe, then let them come, it's just a fight! ”
"Ling Emperor Liu Hong is extravagant, and Liu Xie is young, which will cause the Han family to become a pot of porridge. Treating foreign races, today's Han Dynasty no longer has the prestige of the original Han Wu period.... The foundation of the Han family has long been broken, and now the people who are loyal to the Han family are just talking. Even if there is any rebellion, the essence will inevitably suppress them one by one! ”
"I don't need to do any tricks to persuade Zhang Xiu, in a month, it will be my enthronement ceremony, and in addition... Sent a message to Yuan Shu, saying that the prime minister promised him, let him prepare enough 'gifts' to send to Chang'an, if he didn't see his congratulatory gifts after ascending the throne, he would be killed! ”
Zhang Xiu's words fell, and everyone was stunned.
However, the generals just feel domineering!
And Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Guo Jia did not have any objections.
Who becomes the emperor does not matter at all to the common people. Those who care about these are some families.
But now the family under Zhang Xiu's rule, what room for resistance?
They're just getting by...
As for the family outside the Kansai?
If they are not happy, they will not be happy, even if they are not emperors, they may not be willing to be loyal.
After all, I don't know how many years the recruitment order has been issued, but how many real talents are there?
In troubled times, it still depends on fists!
