Why were the ministers so shocked by Zhuge Liang's title of prime minister by Liu Beijin?

This is because the difference between the prime minister and the prime minister may sound like only one word, but in fact they are two different things.

According to the official system of the Han Dynasty set by Taizu Liu Bang, the real head of the hundred officials is not the third duke, let alone the general, but the Xiangguo.

As for the prime minister, he was originally just Xiangguo's deputy.

Although the prime minister was in the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, he could also act for the king, but the prime minister was essentially only an assistant role.

In general, the power of the prime minister depends on the degree of trust of the emperor.

But Xiangguo is different.

Once someone becomes a minister, then it means that the government affairs of the Han Dynasty should have been handled by him - even the emperor can't get involved at will!

This can be seen from a famous historical event - Xiao Gui Cao Sui.

Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying, wanted to make some changes to government affairs, but was directly asked by Xiangguo Cao Shen with two rhetorical questions.

This is not that Cao Shen is disloyal, but that Cao Shen is using his power reasonably.

The total three princes and nine secretaries, governing the world's political affairs, courtesy of hundreds of bureaucrats, all the people avoid the way, said to be the country!

In fact, the existence of Xiangguo has already formed a check and balance effect on the imperial power.

Therefore, after Cao Shen's death, the kings of the Han dynasty in later generations no longer set up the post of prime minister, but changed to prime minister.

But whether in terms of status or power, Xiangguo and Prime Minister are not at the same level.

Knowing this, it was easy for the ministers to think of a scene that was likely to happen in the future.

Liu Bei is the founding monarch, he has great prestige, and Zhuge Liang is the prime minister or the prime minister, there is no difference to him at all.

But Liu Chan is not.

Originally, if Zhuge Liang was still the prime minister, then even if Zhuge Liang became Liu Chan's auxiliary minister, whenever Zhuge Liang wanted to deal with a major government affairs, he would have to ask Liu Chan's consent on the surface.

After Liu Chan officially issued the edict, that government affairs could be officially implemented.

But you don't need it.

In this way, after the crown prince Liu Chan succeeds to the throne in the future, I am afraid it is likely to be the second Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.

You can know this yourself, how could Your Majesty not know?

The most important thing is that the Yin Jian of Cao Thief's usurpation of the Han is not far away, but between believing in his own son and believing in Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei still resolutely chose the latter.

Liu Bei's trust in Zhuge Liang has indeed reached an unimaginable level.

What monarch has been able to do this throughout the ages?

Even Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei with a shocked expression, and his first reaction was to refuse.

It's a pity that before Zhuge Liang could speak, Liu Bei said softly:

"The words of the Son of Heaven are as heavy as nine tripods.

Does Kong Ming want me to lose my words in front of the world? ”

Liu Bei's words were filled with incomparable firmness.

And Liu Bei said so, how could Zhuge Liang refuse.

All Zhuge Liang could do was to bow deeply to Liu Bei.

Originally, the ministers thought that Liu Bei's reward for Zhuge Liang was heavy enough, but what Liu Bei did next made the ministers even more at a loss.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Manchu Dynasty ministers on the high platform had not yet reacted from the shock, Liu Bei turned to look at the crown prince Liu Chan behind him:

"Heir, come forward."

Although Liu Chan is not stupid, his mind is not alert, and he is not as good as the ministers who have been immersed in officialdom for many years.

Therefore, what the ministers have seen, as a party to the party, has not yet seen it.

In Liu Chan's opinion, what's wrong with giving Zhuge Liang a Xiangguo, all the fuss.

Liu Chan was not only not surprised, but he was also sincerely happy for Zhuge Liang.

Liu Chan, who looked delighted, hurriedly stepped forward from behind Liu Bei after hearing Liu Bei's words.

And because of the respect for Zhuge Liang in his heart, Liu Chan let his figure be slightly behind Zhuge Liang.

Liu Chan's joy was seen in Liu Bei's eyes, which made Liu Bei realize that his crown prince did not see the deep meaning of his title of Zhuge Liang as Xiangguo at the moment.

Well, it's normal for him to not see it.

But this child's pure heart and this point have never disappointed him.

That's enough, and he'll arrange the rest.

Looking at Liu Chan, who was alone, Liu Bei suddenly felt that he was still inadequate.

After thinking for a while, Liu Bei turned to look at the other prince behind him: "Feng'er, Yong'er, Li'er." ”

After calling the three princes at the exit, Liu Bei motioned with his eyes for them to behave like Liu Chan.

Liu Yong and Liu Li, the two princes, although they have both been crowned kings, they are not very old.

They didn't understand the intention of Liu Bei's move, and just obediently acted according to Liu Bei's orders.

It was Liu Feng, who seemed to vaguely sense that something unusual would happen in a while.

But for Liu Bei's orders, it is impossible for him to disobey.

So not long after, Liu Bei's four princes all stood behind Zhuge Liang with their backs to the ministers and faced Liu Bei.

After seeing that the four princes all stood up according to their instructions, Liu Bei temporarily handed over the Guan Yu spirit card in his hand to Zhang Fei beside him, and then he stepped forward and directly faced Zhuge Liang.

Although the ministers were in a state of shock, they still watched what was happening on the high platform.

Liu Bei's series of abnormal behaviors made them feel puzzled.

Could it be that His Majesty wants the four princes to thank Xiangguo Zhuge Liang for his dedication to the Han Dynasty over the years?

It can only be said that what the ministers think is still too simple.

"Prime Minister of the Prime Minister.

And the four of you, some of you are adults, and some of you are about to die.

You are the princes of the Han Dynasty, and you all have to serve the foundation of your ancestors.

I hope that when you work with Xiangguo in the future, you will be like a father to Xiangguo.

Remember! Remember! ”

As soon as Liu Bei's words came out, the audience was restless on the high platform.

Except for Mi Yang, no one who heard Liu Bei's words could not feel incredulous.

Liu Bei actually wanted Liu Chan's four princes to treat Zhuge Liang as a father in the future!

This?

Even considering the occasion, the noisy noise did not sound, but among the Hanchens, they had already begun to look at each other, looking left and right.

Xu Ci is about to crush his back molars!

They really didn't expect that Liu Bei would let the four princes of the Han Dynasty in public regard Zhuge Liang as their second father.

In the history of China, it is not uncommon for an emperor to call a minister "father".

For example, King Wu of Zhou.

Judging from this story, it is nothing to have several princes call a minister "father".

But the current scene can never be compared with the case of King Wu of Zhou.

Because King Wu of Zhou called Jiang Ziya "middle father", the main reason was that he respected Jiang Ziya's character and talent, which was an emotional spontaneous behavior.

But at present, Liu Bei is a king and a father, and he asks the four princes to call Zhuge Liang "middle father" in the way of instructions.

What is the scene today?

Tens of thousands of people have attracted attention, and it is bound to go down in history, coupled with Liu Bei's special identity, it can be said that Liu Bei's instructions are no different from a formal edict.

Under the influence of this edict, the four princes called Zhuge Liang "Middle Father", not only in terms of personal emotion, but also subject to the etiquette laws of the world.

As long as the four princes are Liu Bei's descendants one day, they all treat Zhuge Liang as a real father.

Otherwise, the etiquette of the world, the first one will not spare them.

It can be said that when Liu Bei's words came out, Liu Chan's four princes and Zhuge Liang had become a father-son relationship that was not easy for eternity.

How can such a fact not be jaw-dropping?

Especially among the four princes, Liu Chan is also included, and that is the next emperor of the Han Dynasty!

Among the four princes, Liu Chan is as unaware of the difference as always, and Liu Yong and Liu Li don't know much about the relationship between China and China, and will only obediently listen to Liu Bei's words and act.

Without much hesitation, the three princes of Liu Chan bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang in front of them in the eyes of the ministers:

"Father!"

As soon as the three princes said this, they announced the conclusion of a special relationship between them and Zhuge Liang.

But there is still a prince who has not moved, and that prince is Liu Feng, who has long been disliked by Zhuge Liang and has a rigid temperament.

Does Liu Feng want to recognize Zhuge Liang as his father?

That's definitely not wanting, and because of this, he hesitated under Liu Bei's gaze.

But after seeing his hesitation, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly sharpened.

seemed to be aware of Liu Bei's gaze, in order not to make Liu Bei angry, and not to hurt Liu Bei's prestige in front of the world, even if he was unwilling in his heart, Liu Feng finally bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang:

"Father!"

These two words can be said to be the most unwilling two words that Liu Feng has ever called in his life.

But he doesn't want to return to him, and today he will no longer be able to disobey Zhuge Liang.

Seeing that Liu Feng didn't do something stupid after all, Liu Bei relieved himself.

What Liu Feng didn't know was that Liu Bei's move was essentially protecting him.

The relationship between father and son has always been mutual.

I have to say that what Liu Bei did today was too sudden, and he didn't discuss it with anyone.

Because it was too sudden, after Liu Chan's four princes called Zhuge Liang "Father", Zhuge Liang was able to react.

You can't blame Zhuge Liang for being slow to react, which courtier won't have a short loss of consciousness in his position today?

Besides, even if he doesn't lose his mind, as a courtier, he can't change anything.

Liu Bei is clearly saying today that he wants to use his power as an emperor to pave the way for the future of the Han Dynasty.

Looking at the four princes who called themselves "Xiang Father", and then at Liu Bei who was full of anticipation on his face, when the fire shadow flickered, Zhuge Liang remembered what Liu Bei said to him when he was in Longzhong:

"Mr. went out of the mountain with Bei this time, and there was nothing in the whole body, and there was no generous gift.

But there is a sincerity in the preparation.

After today, we will never doubt you, and you will never fail you! ”

Thinking of these words, Zhuge Liang's face was already covered with tears.

For decades, Liu Bei has never lived up to the promises he made that day.

If you are lucky enough to have such a lord in life, what more can you ask for?

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and then hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Chan's four princes up in front of the ministers.

After completing this move, Zhuge Liang turned to look at Liu Bei.

Unlike Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was smiling at this moment, and he was smiling happily.

Looking at the lord in front of him, who had known him for decades, Zhuge Liang raised his hands above his head and bowed to Liu Bei and said:

"This life is not negative, and the next life will restore the monarch and minister!"

Liu Bei thought that Zhuge Liang would thank him, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to say this sentence with a feeling.

And this sentence is not Liu Bei's desire?

Liu Bei's eyes were also moist.

He stepped forward to help Zhuge Liang up, and then patted Zhuge Liang's hand and said:

"Exactly what you want!"
