Chapter 155: Thunder
Zhang Song implored Liu Bei to be the emperor, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel pounding in his heart, the throne can be described as the ultimate power of dreams, and his current struggle is indeed to revive the Han family, but he has also dreamed of the supreme position countless times, and now that the Han Emperor is out of position, then his opportunity has come.
Pretending to be calm, Liu Bei coughed and said: "Zisong said and said there, the Han Emperor does not know the life and death, we should take the thief and welcome the emperor as the top priority at the moment, besides, what virtue do I have, I have no talent and no virtue, and the etiquette and law are not harmonious, it is not necessary!" ”
Zhang Songjin said: "Cao Pi has been proclaimed emperor, so who is the king of Hanzhong?" If you don't call the emperor Han, you will really be replaced by Cao Pi's so-called Wei, in what name will the king go to attack Wei?
The king does not call the emperor is equivalent to acquiescing to Cao Pi's throne, even if he plays the banner of rebelling against the Han Dynasty, the Han is there, the Han emperor has given up the throne, and the king's support for the old Han is equivalent to abdicating with the Son of Heaven as a minister, whose courtiers are the kings and me?
When the Han Dynasty is gone, how can there be a crusade against the traitors, who will respond to the king? Moreover, there have always been very few people in the world who are moral and righteous, otherwise how could the sages praise sacrificing their lives for righteousness.
More people are for the fame and fortune of the officials, they come to the king, the king's profit is gold and silver can be given, what to do with the official position, title, fame, after the promise is completed, where is the son of heaven? I am afraid, my lord, that will not stir people's hearts.
When the Han Emperor re-ascended the throne, it was too illusory, for the time being, the ministers were presumptuous, Cao Pi's forces were much better than ours, and the loyal ministers and righteous men were completely eliminated, and the great cause of revival could not be completed overnight. Ten years, twenty years are possible.
Not to mention who became the emperor of the Han Dynasty at that time, even the fighting spirit of the soldiers under the command of the king will be exhausted, and the Han Society will really completely disappear in the hearts of the people and collapse!
Only by giving what everyone can see can we tie people's hearts and gather strength. ”
Liu Bei nodded secretly, indeed, it is useless to blindly draw cakes to satisfy hunger, the news of the Han Emperor's Zen position spread throughout his sphere of influence, and there must be a lot of people who are eager to try.
Liu Bei opened his mouth and said: "Zisong, you think too highly of me Liu Bei, you and Kong Ming have the talent of Xiao He and Zhang Liang, I'm afraid Liu Bei doesn't have the life of Emperor Guangwu." The two capitals of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an and Luoyang, are not in my hands, and the two capitals are the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Judging from the bloodline, Liu Bei is not a relative of the current Han Emperor, and he is not even a side branch. There are so many children of the Liu family who are down-and-out of the Han Dynasty, and these two points alone will be true, which will damage the righteousness that I have always pursued. ”
Zhang Song was about to speak again, Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's worries, and opened his mouth to say: "Liang understands the king's concerns, although the two capitals of the Han are not in the hands of the king, but the rise of the Han is in Hanzhong, Gaozu swept the world with Bashu, and the king can't help but occupy Bashu, and according to Jingzhou and Guanlong, the power is far superior to Gaozu, Chang'an is in sight, and it is not difficult to take it."
As for the bloodline, the king, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, since the time of Emperor Wen, the bloodline of Gaozu has been inherited by the side branches, and the same is true of Emperor Guangwu.
It is not so much about inheriting the bloodline, but who can show the foundation of the Liu family, Gaozu was indomitable in his life, defeated and fought repeatedly, defeated Xiang Yu, and swept the world.
How similar is the king and Gaozu, and the king is a corporal who is virtuous and treats the people well, and everyone in the world is happy and convinced.
The king, Liang is willing to persuade Longxi to guard Xu Miao too much, and Jincheng to guard Su Ze, so that the two of them can serve the king as the lord of the world and inherit the Han Dynasty! ”
Zhang Song secretly admired Zhuge Liang and understood what Liu Bei thought, Xu Miao and Su Ze were officially appointed by the imperial court, just like Liu Bei was headed by Ma Chao when he became the king of Hanzhong, because although Liu Bei's Guan Zhang and others were cronies, their official positions were all granted by Liu Bei privately, and they were never officially appointed.
Nowadays, if Liu Bei wants to be the emperor, he first needs the support and recognition of the people of the world, and the reason why Cao Pi is the emperor is to inherit the Han Chan concession, even if Liu Bei does not admit it, it is legal orthodoxy for a large number of scholars in the Central Plains.
Su Ze was promoted to filial piety and Maocai, recruited by the imperial court, and successively served as the Taishou of Jiuquan County, and was transferred to Anding County and Wudu County Taishou, and the counties he served praised his prestige. Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu, saw Su Ze, admired him very much, and after defeating Zhang Lu, he pacified and pacified the tribes living in various Di tribes, opened up the Hexi Corridor, and transferred to Jincheng Taishou.
Xu Miao successively served as the prime minister in the court, the military adviser, the Fenggao county order, the Dongcao Yiling Shi, and Shang Shulang. Later, he served as the Taishou of Longxi County.
The two are very few people who have served the Son of Heaven in the court under Liu Bei's power, and whether they recognize Liu Bei or not is equivalent to showing the attitude of the scholars after the death of the Han Dynasty towards Liu Bei.
Liu Bei actually didn't have much hope in his heart, Xu Miao had said this matter before (Chapter 133), in retrospect, Liu Bei felt that Xu Miao would not support it, and at best, he would not express his position, and Su should be about the same.
Liu Bei pondered for a long time and said: "Kong Ming, don't talk about this, don't worry, this matter is not in a hurry." First send someone to Longyou to talk to Liu Ba, and ask him to tell Xu Miao and Su Ze to see how they react.
Tell Liu Ba and the county guards, Cao Pi is the emperor, the one who comes is not good, deal with it carefully. "Zhuge Liang, Zhang Song, give up their promises.
Liu Bei got up, turned around and pulled out the double-strand sword on the shelf and said, "Kong Ming, Ziqiao, we have more important things right now!" ”
Liu Beijian pointed to the northeast and said: "The bigger the trouble there is in Yun Chang, the better, it is best to win a few more battles, promote my majesty, strengthen people's courage, harassment and entanglement are no longer applicable."
Hanzhong is also going to send troops, minting a hundred coins to do it immediately, the sooner the better, this is the top priority, you two have a request just to mention.
In addition to Wei Yan to be on standby, there was also Zhao Zilong of Linjing County, who granted him the right to arbitrarily determine the opportunity, allowing him to mobilize his troops and horses and wait for the opportunity to send troops to attack.
But you have to send a prison army, so as not to gossip, well, just send Guan Xing, anyway, the Lord is Zilong! By the way, last time I said that Li Hui would be transferred back (mentioned in Chapter 148), slow down, let him help Zilong first, and see if he can come to a north-south attack. ”
Liu Bei spoke to himself, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Song glanced at each other, they were all surprised by Liu Bei's free and easy, and now the overall situation of the world has been decided, Liu Bei is the only powerful Liu clan, in the final analysis, Liu Bei is the only one who inherits the Han Dynasty.
The bloodline, the two capitals, and the hearts of the people can actually be ignored. In front of the throne, Liu Bei did not seem to be anxious, but focused on the present, and this calm and unhurried elegance made the two admire.
In fact, Liu Bei already knew that he had the fate of the throne (Chapter 1), since he could sit on it sooner or later, why rush for a while, but Liu Bei was strict-mouthed, and the three brothers had been tight-lipped for so many years.
Liu Bei returned the sword to the sheath and sat down, seeing the two staring at him, he couldn't help coughing and said, "Kong Ming, Ziqiao, what do you think!" ”
Zhang Song hurriedly said: "The ministers said by the king have all been recorded, go and do it immediately!" ”
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Okay, call Zhang Yu and Zhou Qun in, and take a hexagram to see the good luck and evil of the army!" Zhang Song clapped his hands, and the waiter invited the two of them when he heard it.
Zhang Yu and Zhou Qun gave a salute, and Liu Bei invited the two to sit down and said: "Zhang Sima (Sima in the rear of Yizhou), Zhou Xiaowei (Confucianism), Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty without a way, and the Great Han Dynasty will be broken.
The two of you are invited here to let the two of you take a hexagram and see how the Northern Expedition won or lost? ”
Zhang Yu and Zhou Qun heard that they were divination and deduction. Zhang Yu had a slight advantage, and first withdrew his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition will definitely be defeated this time, damaging the generals, and not an inch of land." I hope that the king will not take any action, in vain! ”
Liu Bei didn't like it when he heard it, and turned his head to look at Zhou Qun. Zhou Qun finished divination and said: "The minister's hexagram shows that the king's northern expedition can expand the soil and kill the enemy, and the soldiers are bloodless, and there is no loss!" ”
Liu Beiqi said: "This is strange, the two diviners are completely different. Let's see if it's a five-five open! Zhuge Liang and Zhang Song smiled.
Zhang Yu said: "Your Majesty, the hexagram of the minister has never been ......!" ”
Liu Bei raised his hand to stop and said: "There are two Laos, in fact, this king has made up his mind to go on a northern expedition and fight this battle, no matter whether he wins or loses." The king believes in your hexagrams, but sometimes fighting is not necessarily just about winning or losing. ”
With a move in his mind, a cold sweat broke out on Liu Bei's forehead and said: "Sima Zhang, what I said just now hurt the general, you can take another hexagram and look at my second brother's good luck." ”
When Zhang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "No, this hexagram ......!" ”
Zhang Yu occupied it three times in a row, and Zhou Qunxin said: "Zhang Yu divides the hexagram quickly and in one go, what's wrong!" ”
Zhang Yu stopped and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, the hexagram does not show the good fortune of the prince and the prince, and there is no vitality, only the dead will be this kind of hexagram!" ”
Liu Bei patted the case and said: "What do you mean, my second brother is alive and well, why did he die!" ”
Zhang Yu was unmoved and said: "The hexagram shows like this, I can only tell the truth!" ”
Liu Bei shouted angrily: "Someone, someone!" ”
Zhou Qun hurriedly said: "The king is slow, Rong Chen asked." ”
Zhang Yu has always been very famous, and he is the same clan as Zhang Song, and Zhuge Liang hurriedly followed to intercede.
Liu Bei said fiercely: "Ask!" ”
Zhou Qun said: "Zhang Sima, the hexagram says that where can the good fortune of the prince appear!" ”
Zhang Yu looked at Zhou Qun and said, "Guan Yu reached the limit a year ago, and he can't die well!" ”
Liu Bei was about to have a seizure, but Zhou Qun didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly said, "Is it completely a dead hexagram?" ”
Zhang Yu said: "Xiangshu does have the aura of Aoki, but people are not plants and trees, they have their own vitality, and the aura of plants and trees is useless to people, and it is still a complete dead hexagram!" ”
Zhou Qun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the fortune of the prince and the marquis is extraordinary, and Zhang Sima can't get the essentials, so he says wildly!" ”
Liu Bei thought to himself: "The second brother has been dead for a year, thanks to what you said!" ”
Zhang Yu was naturally resistant, and said unmoved: "A dead man is a dead man, what can't you see a hexagram, you don't believe that you won't try divination yourself, unless it is against the sky, Guan Yu is ......." ”
After a pause, Zhang Yu asked Liu Bei: "Have the three brothers of the king been guided by an immortal or a hermit!" ”
When Liu Bei was asked, his heart instantly became weak, but Liu Bei's joy and anger were invisible, and he couldn't see it outside, and said in his mouth: "My three brothers fight all day long, do you think that immortals will meet us people with blood on their hands?" ”
When Zhang Yu heard this, he unconsciously muttered: "That's it, when I go home, I choose a place to build a platform, observe the heavenly phenomena, calculate the five elements, and deduce the Fuxi gossip, I must figure out what the truth is!" ”
Liu Bei thought to himself: You better go to prison and stay, don't calculate my brother's bottom line.
Liu Bei shouted: "You curse my second brother, come here, put this guy in prison, strictly guard it, and pull it out!" ”
His subordinates went out to Changyu, and Changyu shouted: "Liu Bei, my hexagram is right, I don't accept it!" ”
Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Your family is guarding Jingzhou, it's a dead man, if you still don't accept it, quickly let him shut up and drag it away!" ”
Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of one thing in his heart, there was a peach orchard in Langzhong where Zhang Fei was stationed, and he had inadvertently seen a table in it, with tributes, he didn't care about it before, but now it seems that something is wrong.
Zhang Yu was dragged away, the three of them didn't dare to say anything, Liu Bei's three brothers can be described as a combination of honor and disgrace, and scolding Guan Yu is equivalent to scolding Liu Bei.
Liu Bei said slowly: "Don't worry, King Changyu doesn't plan to kill him, an ignorant madman, trying to peep into the sky." Shut him down is actually about his mouth that doesn't know what to say. Brilliant and intellectual, it's just a stupid pig. ”
With a sigh, Liu Bei said: "Captain Zhou, you and Zhang Yu are on good terms, teach him more how to do things!" ”
Zhou Qun was so smart that he naturally knew that Liu Bei also meant to warn him, and responded: "Don't worry, the king, I will teach Zhang Yu, and the warlock must not go against the sky!" ”
Liu Bei thought that if he didn't have a chance to meet, he was afraid that his second brother would go first, and he would not die well, but the second brother was a general, and if he did not die well, he would either be killed or killed by an arrow, thinking about the cold sweat behind him.
Liu Bei stretched out his hand, took out the cloth and wrote: Don't fight forcibly, when you go, you go, return safely, and do what my brother wants. Big brother Liu Bei. After writing it, he called a messenger and gave it to Guan Yu.
