"Lord, now Cao Cao is autocratic, and the people have no owner; The lord's benevolence and righteousness are written in the world, and he has raised Jing, Yi, Jiao Sanzhou and most of Yangzhou, so that he can respond to the Tianshun people, that is, the emperor's throne, so as to justifiably crusade against the national thieves. Without further ado, please choose auspiciousness! ”

Time went back to half a month ago, just the day after everything in Hanzhong was completely settled and Liu Bei rewarded the three armies, a group of civil and military forces led by Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng unexpectedly launched a persuasion to Liu Bei, the boss, to be called the emperor.

It is said that it is expected, that is, with the rapid expansion of the territory and the enhancement of strength, Liu Bei's current official position and title are already very embarrassing.

You must know that at present, Liu Bei, the big boss, is only the Pavilion Marquis of Yicheng, the lowest Pavilion Marquis among the marquis.

As for his official position, although Liu Zhang played the position of the Great Sima and the Lieutenant of the Division for him when he entered Shu before, for well-known reasons, how could Cao Cao, who held the Son of Heaven, agree to this seal and give such a prominent official position to Liu Bei, an opponent.

Therefore, in fact, Liu Bei's official position that was truly recognized by the world at this time was still only the former General Zuo appointed by Liu Xie.

But this position of General Zuo is not unique to Liu Bei. Ma Chao, who is his subordinate, also has the official position of General Zuo.

Therefore, in this case, it is natural that a group of civil and military officers hope that Liu Bei's official position and title will go further.

It's just that the persuasion of Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others wanted to do it in one step and directly push him to the throne, which caught him off guard.

You must know that the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still reigning, if he really becomes the emperor at this time, it is really not as good as Cao Cao, who he called 'Han thief'. It's really hard to say who the 'thief' will be at that time.

Therefore, without half a minute of hesitation, in the face of everyone's persuasion that this step was too big, Liu Bei refused even if he sternly refused.

"The words of the military advisor are bad! Although Bei is the clan of the Han Dynasty, he is also a courtier. If this is the case, wouldn't it be a traitor, and what is the difference between it and Yuan Shu and the like? ”

"Definitely! Fang fell apart today, heroes and heroes dominated one side, talented and virtuous people from all over the world, and those who sacrificed death and life to do things on it, all wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to establish fame. Now the lord avoids suspicion and righteousness, and is afraid of losing the hope of everyone, may the lord think about it! ”

"If the lord blindly pushes back, he is afraid that it will chill everyone's hearts......"

In the face of Liu Bei's stern refusal, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng and other civil and military forces did not give up, but moved out the reason why everyone followed only to make meritorious contributions.

You must know that in life, as long as the means are right, there is no shame in pursuing fame and fortune. What's more, what everyone is pursuing is the fame and fortune of the big man!

"Do you know what you mean? However, the wish of his life is to revive the Han Dynasty. If you want me to occupy a high position, you will not dare to obey it, and you can consult with you again. ”

Shaking his head, Liu Bei, who knew that this moment was by no means the opportunity to become the emperor, still firmly rejected everyone's persuasion.

It's just that he didn't completely block or veto this persuasion. After all, his current title and official position really don't match his current strength, if his official title as a boss can't go further, how can his subordinates be promoted?

"The Lord is born on righteousness, and since he is unwilling to take the title of honor, why don't you temporarily enter the throne?"

Just as Liu Bei's words fell, Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, and then they got off the donkey, taking a step back on behalf of everyone, and changed this persuasion from the throne to the throne.

As the saying goes, you have to stutter your meal, as a top-notch first-class strategist, how could Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others not know that this is not the time to become emperor?

The reason why Liu Bei was persuaded to be the emperor was just for this 'retreat' step, so as to make this 'throne' more reasonable.

"Alas, although you want to respect me as the king, but the Han Dynasty has a system, and you can't be canonized by the Son of Heaven, you are still a tyrant!"

Although everyone's persuasion changed from the throne to the throne, although the tone of refusal was not as firm as before, Liu Bei still shook his head.

"People with different surnames like Cao Cao can be kings, not to mention that the eldest brother is a relative of the Han family? According to my old Zhang's opinion, let alone being called the king, even if you are directly called the emperor, why not? ”

Don't look at the third master's calligraphy Danqing, but this temperament is very impatient. Seeing that his eldest brother, the emperor, refused to be the emperor, and refused to enter the throne, he couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Yide, shut up, don't say more!"

Seeing that the third master was so impatient and scolded him sharply, Liu Bei couldn't help but glare at him fiercely.

"What the lord said is also reasonable, but he is in a hurry to follow the power, and he should not be bound by common sense. The lord can enter the throne, and then send someone to Xu Du to show the Son of Heaven! “

Just kidding, the Son of Heaven is the humanoid seal in Cao Cao's hand, without Cao Cao's consent, even if Liu Xie intends to canonize Liu Bei as the king, how can this canonization edict be issued?

Therefore, after agreeing with Liu Bei's statement, Fa Zheng immediately proposed an 'old method' that the princes of the world used to. That is, do it first and then say, and then throw a watch seal to Xu Du to mean it, regardless of whether you agree or not.

"It's not a trivial matter to become a prince, so why rush it. At present, Yun Chang and Adou have recovered Nanyang, and Wancheng is quite close to Xudu, so it is better to go to the Son of Heaven first, and ask the Son of Heaven to canonize it. ”

Hearing Fa Zheng's proposal, Liu Bei, who was originally just saying that, was originally going to 'reluctantly' agree to it, but at this moment, he couldn't help but move, and suddenly thought of Liu Chan's previous rescue of Geng Ji, Wei Huang and others from Xu Du.

After all, it is okay to rescue hundreds of living people from Xudu, so why is it difficult to bring out a canonization edict of the Son of Heaven?

You must know that in the original history, the legal rationality of the succession was an eternal pimple in Liu Bei's heart. For this matter, he did not find a lot of historical evidence to support himself.

However, no is nothing, and it is useless to say more. So, now that he has such a 'legal' way to obtain the throne, why should he do such a thing of establishing himself as a king without legal basis?

As for whether the Son of Heaven will agree when the time comes, hehe, this matter still needs to be considered?

"Why bother, big brother? The Son of Heaven is nothing but a puppet in Cao Cao's hands......"

Seeing that his eldest brother had to obtain the canonization edict of a puppet emperor, the anxious third master still remembered the warning just now, but he stood up and shouted again.

"Winged bold! If you dare to talk nonsense about disrespect to the Son of Heaven, I ...... Thou shalt go out with me. ”

Seeing that the third master was saying more and more unscrupulous, Liu Bei hurriedly scolded him again before he finished speaking.

"Hehe, what the lord said is very true, but I am in a hurry. In this way, as the lord said, someone will give the watch seal to the son, and let him send it to Xu Du! ”

Hearing the sound and knowing the sound, hearing Liu Bei mention Liu Chan and Wancheng, who were 'closer to Xudu', Zhuge Liang instantly understood the intention of his boss, and immediately agreed with it.
