Chapter 102: The Mandate of Heaven is in Yuan
After glancing at Yuan Shao and everyone in the hall, Liu Xie warned himself that he couldn't float yet.
The last Yuan Shu who received the mandate of heaven will be cut down later.
After calming down a little, Liu Xie pondered for a while, then hugged the jade seal and cried directly.
"Woo woo, I am an unworthy descendant, I lost the jade seal handed down by my ancestors, and I haven't brought it back until now!"
"I'm sorry for the twenty-third generation of the Han Dynasty! I'm sorry for my ancestors! I'm ashamed! ”
Liu Xie didn't have the slightest emperor's demeanor, and sat on the dragon chair in front of everyone and cried.
The cry is sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who hear it.
Everyone in the hall, who was still Hanchen at this time, couldn't help but be touched when they saw that the dignified son of heaven had fallen to such a point and was so sad that their hearts couldn't help but be touched.
Liu Bei, who was standing behind Yuan Shao, was even more empathetic, and couldn't help but cover his sleeves and cry.
The eyes covered by the sleeves looked at Yuan Shao, full of murderous intent.
Of the people present, only Yuan Shao and Fu Zhu were not touched.
They glanced at each other, and they both saw the complicated look in each other's eyes.
If you act like this, you won't smash it, right?
How can there be a Son of Heaven who weeps loudly in front of his courtiers?
After crying for a while, Liu Xie knew from everyone's expressions that the effect of crying this time was excellent.
So the jade seal was put back into the wooden box and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou captured Yuan Shu and found the jade seal of the country, which is an immortal achievement!" I will reward you with all my might! ”
Here it comes!
Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was extremely hot.
The last time he killed Dong Zhuo, he was named Marquis Wen, which is already the ultimate of the title, and one step further, that is the duke.
But in the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there has only been one duke - Wang Mang's Duke An Han.
No matter how big Lu Bu's heart was, he didn't dare to covet the duke.
Therefore, the reward in his heart is not in the knighthood, but in the official position.
He took a fancy to Yuan Shao's position as a general!
Although his heart was already extremely longing, Lu Bu did not ask for credit for himself at the first time.
Before coming to Yecheng, Chen Gong repeatedly explained that he couldn't take the credit alone.
Be sure to ask Your Majesty for credit for your allies and subordinates.
Otherwise, no one wants to continue to follow him.
"Your Majesty, the generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under the command of the ministers, and Liu Bei's sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have also made great contributions in several battles against Yuan Shu."
When the army besieged Shouchun, Liu Bei risked his life and entered the city alone to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender. The ministers were able to take Shouchun without blood, and captured Yuan Shu alive. ”
Yuan Shao, who thought he was very familiar with Lu Bu, heard this, and his eyes were about to pop out.
Is this still the Lu Bu he knows?
Is this still the arrogant and arrogant Lu Fengxian who had no one in his eyes when he entered the city?
Zhang Fei, who was following Liu Bei, smiled happily at Lu Bu.
He swore that he would never call Lu Bu a slave with the third surname in the future.
On the dragon chair, Liu Xie said: "Meritorious ministers, I will definitely not forget, and Wen Hou can present the merit book to me later." But for now, we still have to talk about Wen Hou's merits...... Great General. ”
Hearing the three words of the general, Lu Bu subconsciously thought that the Son of Heaven was going to make him a general, and he almost said thank you.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao stood up at the first time.
"The minister is here." Yuan Shao took a step forward and bowed slightly.
Seeing this, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Such a straw bale, also worthy of the position of a general?
It must have been him who coerced the Son of Heaven to seal it!
How to reward, what to reward. These are not things that Liu Xie can decide. He acted according to the plan and asked Yuan Shao directly: "General, in your opinion, how should I reward Wen Hou?" ”
When the words fell, Liu Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, and the fists in his sleeves were clenched.
Zhang Fei behind him, if he hadn't been caught by Guan Yu's eyes, he would have almost rushed to Yuan Shao's face.
Lu Bu also clenched his steel teeth, and there was monstrous anger in his eyes.
secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, it's the same as Xuande said, Yuan Shao is clamping down on the Son of Heaven!" The Son of Heaven even has to ask his opinion on how to reward him, he is really a traitor and a thief! ”
Yuan Shao didn't know the dark tide surging on Lu Bu and Liu Bei's side, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that with the merit of Wen Hou, he should be awarded the hussar general and crowned the county duke." ”
How to reward Yuan Shao, he had already discussed it with Fu Zhi and others.
A few days ago, I also told Liu Xie in advance.
Now he just said it in his tone, he wanted to settle a favor on Lu Bu's side.
The duke and the hussar general, Yuan Shao did not believe that there were still people in the world who were not satisfied with such a reward.
Just as Liu Xie was about to respond to Yuan Shao, Tian Feng suddenly jumped out.
"Your Majesty, General, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a case of canonization of dukes! The minister thought that it was inappropriate to be crowned a duke. ”
Since the fall of the Qin Dynasty and the reform of the title system, the highest title that the surname Liu can get is only a county marquis.
The title of duke has only been obtained by Wang Mang in the past four hundred years.
He, the Duke of An Han, is the same as Cao Cao's Duke of Wei in history, on the surface, he was canonized by the Son of Heaven, but in fact he was self-proclaimed.
"This old horseman is messing with my good deeds again!"
Yuan Shao glared at Tian Feng, extremely annoyed.
How could he and Fu Yu not know that the county marquis was the highest title that could be canonized?
But Lu Bu was originally a county marquis, and he had no title in the title.
Therefore, it is only possible to make an exception in the title of knighthood and make an example of the official position.
Otherwise, with Lu Bu's merits, how could a hussar general be able to send it, and the general would have to give it to him!
The general with real power, and the duke who only takes food and has no real power, in this troubled world, he knows how to choose with his ass.
Yuan Shao was angry in his heart, but there was still no trace on his face, and he said expressionlessly: "Wen Hou punished Dong Zhuo, cut down Yuan Shu, and covered the contemporary, why can't you make an exception to seal the public?" ”
"But......" Tian Feng wanted to continue to persuade again, but Yuan Shao interrupted him first.
"Whether to add the title of Duke Wen is not something that our courtiers can decide, so it is better to leave it to Your Majesty."
Yuan Shao knew very well that if he continued to persevere, Tian Feng would definitely not give up, so he simply threw the problem directly to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie, who had already received Yuan Shao's instructions, of course had to follow his wishes.
He nodded pretending and said, "Hmm...... I think the general has a point. Wen Hou was so meritorious that he became a hussar general and a county duke. As for the fiefdom of the euppy...... Still in Wen County. ”
Tian Feng was speechless for a moment, sighed, and said no more.
Yuan Shao looked at Lu Bu with a friendly smile, wanting to see what kind of grateful expression he would have.
However, Lu Bu's reaction was not what he expected at all.
"How...... So calm? ”
Knowing that he was made a hussar general and crowned Duke Wen, Lu Bu did not show an excited expression, but calmed down a little abnormally.
He saluted the Son of Heaven and said sullenly: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward." ”
The tone was not happy, and even faintly lost.
Since Emperor Wu, Huo Qubing has been awarded the title of hussar general.
Later generations of generals will all forge ahead with this goal.
But the hussar general is under the general, just like Huo Qubing and Wei Qing back then.
The more Lu Bu thought about it, the more depressed he became.
What a duke is not a duke, he doesn't care. He only cared that he was pressed by Yuan Shao.
The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, how could he live under Yuan Shao?
Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the palace, Liu Bei hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the traitor Yuan Shu has now been escorted outside the palace. ”
Liu Xie cast a kind look at Liu Bei and said, "Then bring it in." ”
Not long after, Zhang He took two guards and escorted Yuan Shu, who was tied up with five flowers, into the palace.
"Don't kneel down when you see Your Majesty!" Lu Bu, who couldn't get angry in his heart, turned his head and scolded Yuan Shu who was standing in the hall.
Yuan Shu was unmoved, even if he had fallen to this point, he still had his own pride.
"I am the Son of Heaven who sacrificed to the heavens and ascended the throne! Although he is now a prisoner, he also has the dignity of the Son of Heaven, how can he kneel to the puppet emperor? ”
"Presumptuous!" Lu Bu was furious and kicked Yuan Shu's leg.
A crisp voice came, and Yuan Shu's legs were directly kicked off and he had to kneel.
Lu Bu was still not satisfied, grabbed his head, and said fiercely: "Open your dog's eyes wide, this one sitting in front of you is the real Son of Heaven!" You are the puppet emperor who has transgressed. ”
Yuan Shu was forced to look up at Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon chair.
Originally, his face was still full of disdain, but when he saw Liu Xie's appearance clearly, his eyes widened suddenly.
"Impossible, how is this possible!"
"How can the Son of Heaven really be in Yecheng!"
The Son of Heaven sensed Cao Cao's disobedience and fled all the way to Yecheng.
Yuan Shao's nonsense to the outside world, Yuan Shu didn't believe a word before.
But now that the facts are in front of him, who is it not Liu Xie who is sitting on the throne?
"I'm not here, do I want to go to Xu County to become a puppet of the Cao thief?" Liu Xie looked down at Yuan Shu and said coldly: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the world is favored by the emperor. As a child of the Yuan family, he arrogantly claimed the title of emperor, which is simply inferior to a pig and a dog! Do you know that because of your great rebellion, you almost ruined the Yuan family's century-old reputation? ”
"If it weren't for the general's loyalty to the Han family, just by what you did, the Yuan family would be infamous for eternity!"
"Nope! It's absolutely impossible! Yuan Shu's face turned pale, and he wanted to find some traces of the fake Son of Heaven from Liu Xie, but he couldn't find it at all.
The Son of Heaven in front of him, and what he saw a few years ago, is simply the same as growing up.
Anyone who looks at it knows that this is the Son of Heaven when he grows up.
He stared at Yuan Shao deadly: "Yuan Benchu, why is the Son of Heaven here?" ”
Yuan Shao's face was flat, and he said what he had been promoted countless times.
"The Son of Heaven was in trouble, and he was blessed by Heaven and fled to Yecheng."
At this moment, Yuan Shao felt a burst of pride in his heart.
He, the Son of Heaven, looks exactly the same as the Son of Heaven in Xu County, and no one can notice anything unusual.
The destiny of heaven is in Yuan, not in Cao, if it weren't for God to protect him Yuan Benchu, how could he meet such a young man who looks the same as the Son of Heaven?
