Chapter 387: Ambition Revealed


In the spotlight, the pottery merchant was officially named the king of Wei by the Duke of Liang, the capital of Yecheng, and the country name was Great Wei.

In Yecheng, the general who originally belonged to Yuan Shao has now become the Wei palace of the pottery merchant, and he issued the first royal edict in this palace, sealing his wife Hua Mulan as the queen of Wei, and his son Tao Ding as the prince of the king.

After the wife and children have been sealed, the potter will naturally be the next big vassal.

Xiang Yu was the former general, Lian was the left general, Huo Quzhi was the right general, and Le Yi was the rear general.

The rest of the generals such as Yingbu, Peng Yue, Li Guang, Yang Youji, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Xu Sheng, Zang Ba and other generals were all named generals by miscellaneous generals, and were named generals such as Si'an, Siping, Sizheng, and Sizhen.

Because Fan Xu had been following the pottery merchants for a long time, he was awarded the post of leading the army in the middle and directly commanding the pro-army troops.

As for Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiao He, Zhang Yi, Chen Deng and other strategists, they were also given corresponding civil positions, and the local Fan Sui and other state assassins were also crowned as the pavilion marquis.

In addition to these famous generals, the generals of the other three armies, as well as the civil officials who have made meritorious contributions inside and outside, are also rewarded according to their merits.

All the civil and military officers have their own rewards, and the soldiers under their command are also rewarded, and the potters have more amnesty to the states to celebrate.

All of a sudden, the Lianghe Prefectures fell into jubilation, and millions of scholars and people were immersed in the celebration of the potter's entry into the title of King of Wei.

Youzhou, Jicheng.

The potter was called the king, the world was shaken, and the news soon spread to this Youzhou office.

"The pottery thief dares to be the king, it is really a great rebellion, the heart of the chaotic minister and thief has been clear in the world, if I Liu Bei does not go south and sweep away this traitor, wouldn't it be worthy of the title of my Han emperor's uncle" Liu Bei threw the information in his hand on the case, and shouted angrily.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wen Chou, Zhang Liao and other generals on the left and right also angrily scolded the potters and thieves, and they all clamored to send troops south.

In an impassioned shouting of war, he was frustrated and said: "The lord is angry, the pottery thief is rebellious, the people and gods are angry, and he should be punished, but now he is newly in Jiqing Erzhou, and his arrogance is flourishing, with the strength of our army, it is okay to defend himself, and it is not wise to go south rashly, and please think twice." ” Fu Zhu is quite calm, and his attitude is diametrically opposed to that of the generals.

And Liu Bei, who was originally about to move and vainly wanted to fight, listened to this advice, and his anger quickly subsided.

Perhaps, he just said that he was very aware of the strength of the potter, and he had no intention of going south at all.

Liu Bei's emotions gradually calmed down, and he looked at Zhuge Liang, who was indifferently on the side, seeking his opinion.

Zhuge Liang, who had been silent, coughed lightly at this time, shook the feather fan and said: "The pottery thief must be destroyed, but as Gonghe said, the strength of the pottery thief is still very strong at this time. ” Zhuge Liang's words completely calmed Liu Bei down, and also suppressed the impassioned fighting spirit of the generals.

"Kong Ming's words are reasonable, and his words are reasonable," Liu Bei also nodded again and again.

All the generals closed their mouths and stopped fighting, but Zhang Fei couldn't swallow this breath and shouted: "Then according to Mr.

Kong Ming's intentions, let's just do nothing, and let that pottery thief be arrogant and king?"

"Who said we don't do anything" Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed a trace of weirdness, and he suddenly stood up, bowed deeply towards Liu Bei, and arched his hand: "Liang represents all the people in the world, please take the throne as the king, so that you can sit on an equal footing with the pottery thief, and call on me Youyan soldiers to fight to the death for the righteous cause of Kuangfu Han Dynasty." ” Carry is king As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Liu Bei's figure was also violently shocked, and a trace of surprise flashed in his sunken eyes, but he was forcibly suppressed by him in the blink of an eye.

"Mr.

Kong Ming laughed, Bei Yiyi only wants to help the Han family, if he also claims to be the king, wouldn't he be the same as the pottery thief, and he will also become a chaotic minister and thief."

Liu Bei was busy and excused himself.

"My lord's words are wrong."

Zhuge Liang flicked his feather fan and persuaded him: "The lord is a member of the Han Dynasty, the emperor's uncle appointed by the Son of Heaven, with royal blood, it is a matter of course to call the king, and who in the world dares to slander." ” "That's right, even the little thief with a different surname can be called the king, how can the eldest brother, the royal family of the Liu family, not be called the king."

Zhang Fei also echoed excitedly.

Liu Bei fell silent, his heart beat faster, his eyes changed uncertainly, and he was obviously deeply moved.

At this time, Zhuge Liang said again: "Only when the lord is called the king can he have enough authority to call on the people of Youzhou to follow the lord, so it is imperative to be called the king." ” Zhuge Liang's implication is that only when you Liu Bei is the king, can the civil and military officers under your command rise to the top, and they can also follow the promotion to the knighthood, and only with this interest can they follow you more loyally.

"However, the pottery thief is called the king, although it is to force the Son of Heaven to issue an edict, but in the end there is still the holy decree of the Son of Heaven.

What Liu Bei is worried about is still the name of righteousness.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said disapprerovingly: "This is also simple, when the lord was in Xudu, didn't he receive the edict of the Son of Heaven, this is something that everyone in the world knows."

The lord can then declare that the Son of Heaven has a decree in the edict to the lord that once the Han family is in danger, the lord can set himself up as the king, so as to call on the people of the world to fight the thief and help the Han family, so that the lord can be called the king if he is not justifiable. ” This remark made Liu Bei's eyes light up, and the remaining worries were swept away.

Anyway, people in the world only know that he Liu Bei has an edict, and as for what the content is, it is not up to him to decide.

Most of the people in the world are just the same people, as long as they create some public opinion, they will believe it to be true, and who will doubt it.

Liu Bei thought about it, and gradually smiled, the corners of his mouth quietly rose, and a trace of smugness appeared.

At this time, Zhuge Liang glanced at Guan Yu and others, and all the civil and military men understood, and knelt down in front of the steps, imploring Liu Bei to be the king, crying and howling one by one, putting on a posture that if Liu Bei was not king, they would kneel to death.

Liu Bei pretended to hesitate again and again, refused again and again, and finally couldn't resist the persuasion of everyone, so he had to sigh and say with a bitter face: "That's it, how can I endure the cold heart of your fist, for the great cause of supporting the Han family, for the survival of the people of the world, and in order to destroy the pottery thief and traitor, I will respond to your request." ” Guan Yu and others were all overjoyed.

"The lord has such a responsibility, which is really a blessing for my great man."

Zhuge Liang even bowed his body and bowed deeply.

Saying that the king's determination had been made, Zhuge Liang, under the instruction of Liu Bei, launched a public opinion offensive in Youzhou.

So in Youzhou, rumors spread for a while, and the rumors that Liu Bei was edicted and established himself as the king soon spread throughout the state.

Immediately afterwards, the magistrate of Zhuo County, Liu Bei's hometown, repeatedly appeared on the table, claiming that the sky above Liu Bei's former residence was auspicious, and it was the manifestation of heaven that made Liu Biao king.

Soon, the local officials in Youzhou understood Shangfeng's intentions and went to the table one after another to persuade Liu Bei to become king.

The officials are still like this, and those ordinary people who lack the ability to think, under the overwhelming public opinion propaganda of the government, naturally follow the belief that Liu Bei should be the king.

Liu Bei pretended to be embarrassed, and rejected the ministers' statements twice, and it was not until the third time that he reluctantly accepted it.

At the end of the autumn of that year, Liu Bei proclaimed himself the king of Yan, changed Jixian County to Jijing, and the country name was Dayan.

In Chang'an City, rumors are spreading, and the people in the streets and alleys are talking about the amazing news from the East.

More than a month ago, the news that the pottery merchant was called the king had already shocked them, and recently the news that Liu Bei of Youzhou was called the king of Yan shocked them again.

"It's just the little thief Li Wang of the potter, this big-eared thief dared to show his ambition and openly claim the king, I knew this was the case, when I was in the Central Plains, I should have got rid of him as soon as possible."

Cao Cao threw the silk book information on the case, with a look of hatred.

The ministers on the left and right, busy with the potters and Liu Bei, scolded them together, and expressed their indignation.

"The pottery thief and Liu Bei have successively become kings, and their prestige will definitely rise, but the influence of the Son of Heaven has been greatly reduced.

Guo Jia's tone said resolutely.

"Feng Xiao means" Cao Cao's eyes revealed a trace of essence.

Guo Jiaqing coughed a few times, slowly stood up, and said with a straight face: "Jia, please invite the lord to also be crowned as the king, only in this way can he order Guan Longzhishi, he will enter the Central Plains in the east of the day, and sweep away the traitors." ” King As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked shocked.

Cao Cao was also shocked, raised his head suddenly, glared at Guo Jia with reproachful eyes, and blurted out words of reprimand.

The words of rebuke came to his lips, but he could not say it at the last moment.

Once upon a time, when the Central Plains was still in the hands of Cao Cao, and when the Son of Heaven was still in the hands of Cao Cao, it was not that no one persuaded Cao Cao to call the king and emperor and replace him, but Cao Cao sternly refused.

If Guo Jia dared to make such a "big rebellion" back then, and in front of so many people, Cao Cao would definitely reprimand him on the spot and scold him for being bloody.

Now, Cao Cao restrained himself.

It is nothing more than a drastic change in the situation, and this is no longer the case.

Cao Cao remained silent.

Seeing this, Guo Jia glanced at Cao Ang.

Cao Ang understood, immediately went out of class, and arched his hand: "Back then, my father coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if he was called the king, I was afraid that he would give people a handle, but today's son is held hostage by the traitor of the potter, what else does my father have to scruple about." ” Cao Cao's body was shocked, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and his expression began to change on his scorched face.

"What the eldest prince said is extremely true, the pottery merchant and Liu Bei are both kings, the prestige of the Son of Heaven has disappeared, if the lord is not called the king, how can he order the military and people of Guanlong."

Dong Zhao also bowed his hand and said.

The eldest prince, Guo Jia and Dong Zhao have stood up to persuade them, how can the rest of the civil and military forces be indifferent, and they immediately stood up one after another to persuade Cao Cao to be the king.

Under the persuasion of the ministers, Cao Cao's heart was completely moved, but he had scruples, and sighed with a wry smile: "I understand your intentions, but when I owned the Central Plains, I was still afraid of insufficient strength and did not dare to be the king.

He was concerned about his own strength.

Tao Shang is the first prince in the world, Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, these two people say that the king has some capital, Cao Cao obviously does not have much advantage in this regard.

Guo Jia immediately said: "It is precisely because of the lack of strength of the lord that he wants to be the king, so as to enhance the reputation of the lord, so that he can call on Guan Long's army to submit to the lord and resist the pottery thief." ” Guo Jia's implication is naturally to say that Cao Cao is king, and to put it bluntly, he will be able to confer official titles on his subordinates, so that those civil ministers and military generals who follow him can see the hope of following him Cao Cao.

Left and right, civil and military, echoed Guo Jia's words and persuaded again. isjgy:
