Chapter Ninety-Eight: There is no jade seal for the country, can you be the Son of Heaven?
"Where did you hear this, is it true?"
Although he knows that Zhang He's personality is stable, he will not talk nonsense about nothing.
But Liu Xie still felt a little incredulous, how long had it been since the last battle of the Huai River.
Yuan Shu retreated to Shouchun, even if he let a pig go up to defend the city, he could hold out for more than half a year.
What's more, it was Zhang Xiu who was defending the city!
Zhang He replied conclusively: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, and the news has spread throughout Yecheng. It is said that Liu Bei went into Shouchun alone to persuade him to surrender, so that Zhang Xiu turned against him and offered the city, which captured the traitor Yuan Shu. And in a few days, Wen Hou will enter the city. ”
After Zhang He heard the news that went viral in the city, he also went to Yuan Shao's mansion to find acquaintances to inquire, and even knew how Shouchun was broken.
"No wonder." When Liu Xie heard this, he suddenly realized that the guard had surrendered.
If Lu Buzhen captured Shouchun in such a short period of time, it would be a bit outrageous.
"But...... Liu Bei actually dared to enter the city alone to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender. Could it be that he is really loyal to the Han? Doesn't that mean that he can also be my confidant who can entrust me with important tasks? ”
Due to the influence of later generations of scholars, Liu Xie has always been skeptical about Liu Bei's loyalty to the Han family; But now Liu Bei risked his life to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender, which shows that he is not a careerist who steals the country under the banner of the Han family.
"If there is any other good news, you must tell me as soon as possible!" Liu Xie explained to Zhang He, and he was in a very good mood.
Lu Bu will come to Yecheng with the heirloom jade seal, which means that he will definitely be able to meet Lu Bu.
Lu Bu is a person, the history books say that he is two-faced and three-stabbed, and he is a capricious villain.
But looking at Lu Bu's life, except for marrying Yuan Shu, he really hasn't done anything to be sorry for the Han family.
Compared to the other princes, he is simply a great loyal minister.
If you can make Lu Bu surrender to his heart......
Hiss......
Liu Xie didn't dare to think about it.
In addition to the surprise that Lu Bu is about to arrive in Yecheng, there is also the heirloom jade seal.
This is a shrine artifact that has been passed down since the time of Qin Shi Huang.
There is no jade seal of the country, even if he becomes the emperor, it is not right.
With the heirloom jade seal, the gold content of Liu Xie's identity as the Son of Heaven will be further enhanced, and he will no longer only rely on Yuan Shao to endorse him as before.
I hold the jade seal of the heirloom country, does this not mean that I am ordered by the heavens?
As for the Son of Heaven in Xu County, hehe, there is no jade seal for the country, you are a Son of Gouba!
……
At this time in Yecheng, the people in the streets and alleys were talking about Lu Busheng's capture of Yuan Shu.
"The puppet emperor is a puppet emperor after all, and the mandate of heaven is in my Han, how can this kind of usurper be shaken?"
"How can this kind of traitor be compared to the real Son of Heaven!"
"Wen Hou got the jade seal of the country, captured Yuan Shu, and immediately came to Yecheng to present it to the Son of Heaven, which is enough to prove that the Son of Heaven in Xu County is fake."
"That's right, if the Son of Heaven in Xu County is real, why didn't Wen Hou give him the heirloom jade seal?"
"Now that Yuan Shu has been captured, the next one to be captured is the fake son of heaven in Xu County!"
"Cao Cao is really a traitor, and he made people pretend to be the Son of Heaven."
"The rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants is happening right now, after Cao Thief is a eunuch, can he be a loyal minister?"
The remarks of the people of Yecheng, under the guidance of well-intentioned people, slowly captured Yuan Shu from Lu Bu and led them to Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven in Xu County.
Within a day, Cao Cao was hammered into a traitor, and the Son of Heaven in Xu County was also hammered into a fake.
The basis of all this stems from the fact that Lu Bu wants to come to Yecheng to meet the Son of Heaven and present the jade seal of the country and the puppet emperor.
Although he betrayed his master three times, in the eyes of ordinary people, he was the Wen Hou who was stabbed by Dong Zhuo and was personally named by the Son of Heaven, and he was an out-and-out loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
Now that he has captured Yuan Shu, his popularity and fame have increased greatly.
Therefore, he came to Yecheng to meet the Son of Heaven, which represents a kind of recognition.
The Son of Heaven who recognizes Yecheng is the real Son of Heaven!
……
Yuan Shao's official residence.
Yuan Shao, who learned about the tone of the people in Yecheng, couldn't help laughing.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Yuan Shao happily said three good words in a row.
"Who can question me now? Who can question that Yecheng's Son of Heaven is fake? ”
Fu Zhu also smiled, "Lord, with the news that Lu Bu entered Yecheng to meet the Son of Heaven and presented the jade seal of the country and the puppet emperor, everyone in the world will think that the Son of Heaven in Cao Cao's hands is a fake. ”
Yuan Shao nodded again and again, and the wrinkles on his smiling face deepened.
"This Lu Fengxian! What a great favor for me! ”
"Cao Apu, Cao Apu, how can you say that the Son of Heaven in Yecheng is fake?"
"Hahahaha——!"
Yuan Shao hadn't been so happy for a long time, and he only felt that all the depression and unhappiness that had accumulated in his heart during this period of time were spit out, and his heart was very happy!
Yecheng, the fake son of heaven, has the approval of his fourth and third dukes, Yuan Benchu, the approval of Liu Bei, the clan of the Han family, and the approval of Lu Bu, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and the capture of the puppet emperor, plus the jade seal of the country that was ordered by the sky.
Even if it's fake, it can be real!
Yuan Shao couldn't help but start imagining what Cao Cao, the emperor of Xu County, and the courtiers would have when they heard the news.
Of course, the most important thing is that from then on he issued an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven, and some princes did not dare to refuse anymore.
Before, it was possible to prevaricate on the grounds that Yecheng and Xu County each had a son of heaven, and I didn't know which one was the true son of heaven.
It's different now.
The jade seal of the country is sealed, and that is the holy decree!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was in a good mood and said to him: "Gonghe, I really thanked you for bringing the Son of Heaven back. You are in this situation! ”
If there were no frustration and self-determination, there would be no current situation.
With the passage of time, Yuan Shao has become more and more aware of the many benefits of having the Son of Heaven in his hands.
Especially this son of heaven can be at his mercy and manipulated at will.
Frustrated: "Don't dare to take credit." If there is no prestige of the lord, the people of the world will definitely be deceived by the thief. The lord is really the pillar of the Han Dynasty. ”
Yuan Shao was even happier when he heard this, and patted his shoulder heavily.
sighed in his heart: "If Tian Feng can be half frustrated, he will not be angry every time, and my heart will be bored." ”
Yuan Shao didn't know that Tian Feng was absolutely central to him, but he just didn't like Tian Feng.
In contrast, the strategy is equally outstanding, and the frustration that is worldly and pleasing is even more favored by him.
"Gonghe, why did you say that Lu Bu came to Yecheng in person, and what purpose did he have?"
Lu Bu's arrival surprised Yuan Shao at the same time, but he also had doubts.
This guy doesn't want to fight for Yangzhou's territory, what is he doing in Yecheng?
Even if you offer the jade seal of the country, there is no need to come in person.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Lord, Lu Bu doesn't have much ambition, but he is fame and fortune. He came to Yecheng in person, probably to ask the Son of Heaven for merit and reward. The lord might as well sell his personal favor and ask the Son of Heaven for him. ”
Today's Lu Bu is completely worth wooing.
Everyone is loyal to the Emperor of Yecheng, that is, allies on the same front.
"What the public says is very true." Yuan Shao nodded in agreement with Fu Zhi's analysis, "Bu Zhi is brave, unparalleled in the world." If I can win him over, he can become a sharp blade for me to crusade against all the princes in the future! ”
"Gong and Ling immediately went back to write a recital, and asked the Son of Heaven to make him a hussar general and a marquis of the capital!"
The hussar general, the same position as the third duke, is lower than the general.
And the townsman is a few levels higher than Lu Bu's original Wenhou.
At present, the title of the Marquis of the Great Han Dynasty is the highest, the county marquis is the highest, the township marquis is second, the township marquis is second, the Duting marquis is again, and the pavilion marquis is the last.
As for Wen Hou, what kind of miscellaneous Hou is that, he can't be on the table at all.
Yuan Shao not only wanted the Son of Heaven to crown Yuan Shao as a hussar general, but also to crown him as the marquis of the capital. Such an official position and title can be described as full of sincerity.
You must know that Guan Yu in history is only the last pavilion marquis.
Fu Zhu nodded, and asked again: "After Yuan Shu is escorted, what does the lord plan to do with him?" ”
Yuan Shu is not only a thief who usurped the emperor, but also a half-brother with Yuan Shao.
