Chapter 198
Chapter 198
"...The name spreads endlessly. I envy and admire him, but now he follows Yao's classics, and Zen is located in King Yan."
The content of the imperial edict was not lengthy, but it made Liu Xie extremely tormented to hear it, and felt like his days were like years.
After reading the book, the dust has settled, and he heaves a sigh of relief, sadly accepting the reality that his ancestor's foundation has changed owners and his glory is no longer.
All the officials under the altar didn't give him another look, they shouted long live to Lv Bu, bowed deeply in admiration, and followed the etiquette.
Lu Bu accepted the worship of all the officials indifferently, stepped down from the high altar without any haste, and formally ascended the throne that symbolized the supreme power, surrounded by the front and back.
It's just that the new emperor didn't let the officials take a breather at all, and issued three decrees in a row.
The first way, amnesty for the world, the name of the country is Yan, and the name of the year is changed to Chongguang.
The second way is to make Lu Liang the crown prince.
The third way is to make Yanqing King of Qi.
Of course, Lu Bu did not treat the other veterans who followed him loyally and made great contributions over the years, and they all rewarded them according to the records on the screen.
It's just that they add more officials and ranks, and it's impossible for Yan Qing to become a king of different surnames from the position of Da Honglu in one leap.
However, Lu Bu's great favor for Yan Qing was only the beginning.Bestowing the king's title is one item, and then promoting him to the position of prime minister, this time is not only enviable, but also extremely eye-catching.
No matter how glamorous the title of prince is, when Lu Bu "forgot" to entrust the land to Yan Qing, it was only a superficial honor.
But how important is the position of the prime minister? In this way, wouldn't the real power and the prince be given to one person?
If Yan Qing relied on this partiality to wantonly cause disasters, and even had a different heart, it would definitely bring infinite disasters to the common people in the world!
The people who were also under Lu Bu's command and worked with Yan Qing had no objection to this, and they all believed that Yan Qing deserved the credit for his qualifications.
But the officials in the court who were reluctant to speak because the soldiers and horses in the world were all in Lu Bu's hands couldn't hold back any longer, and they went up one after another, begging this reckless new emperor to take back his life.
In their eyes, of these three wills, only the second can be seen.
Regarding the selection of the crown prince, Lu Bu fully absorbed the lessons of Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and even Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. The only son of the emperor clarified the status of heir.
However, no matter whether it is to establish Yanqing's Biaozi as the year name, or to make him the only king with a different surname, or to make him the prime minister, these honors and favors alone are enough to show the holy family.
If they were given at the same time, it would be too much.
However, Lu Bu was determined to do this and would not give an inch.
They tried hard to persuade: "Yan Qing was just a villager in Changban at the beginning. Because of his luck, he followed the wise monarch, got rich rewards, enjoyed the wealth and honor in the world, and entered the extreme position of courtiers. How can he covet more? Too much Giving will only bring disaster!"
Lv Bu smiled indifferently, and said: "Your words are wrong! You thought it was impossible, but if there was no light that day, I would still be a fierce and lowly swordsman, doing nothing all day long, only knowing about dancing and grabbing sticks. "
"Chongguang and I walked hand in hand, weathering the wind and rain for more than ten years. During the period, we were accompanied by adversity, and shared weal and woe. We have traveled thousands of miles for cloth many times, and we have been in dangerous places! How can we take it lightly if we pay like this and recreate our kindness?"
"He is very wise, good at planning, and has high integrity, but he is humble in nature, recommends talents, knows how to use them well, promotes imperial examinations, and educates the people. But he only credits others, rarely thinks of himself, likes to be kind to others, and makes friends with sages ... In this way, Fang will welcome a gentleman to the court, and he will be loved by all people, and he will occupy a high position without attracting envy."
"Your gentlemen only saw that I bestowed gold, silver, treasures, brocades and silks on him, but they didn't see that he had no possessions, no wealth in his family, and all his belongings had been donated to care for orphans, build roads, and build bright bookstores for students. Sewing imperial winter robes for the soldiers? Even the salary that you receive, I am afraid Chongguang also has a share!"
The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and kept silent for a while.
They really didn't know that Yan Qing was such a breeze with two sleeves and a high moral integrity.
Ever since Lu Bu found out that Yan Qing had dissipated all the family wealth and used it all for public trips, he tried his best to pretend not to know it and not to publicize it. It was not until this critical moment that he suddenly threw out his trump card and knocked them all into a daze.
Seeing their expressions of shame, Lu Bu chose to pursue the victory without hesitation, and said sonorously: "If there is no light, let alone you are still in dire straits, the country is also in danger, and the people in the world are not as good as dogs! His immortal achievements and illustrious meritorious deeds, not to mention the mere title of King of Qi and Prime Minister, even if I want half of my dragon chair to be given to him and share the country with him, he is well-deserved!"
It's a pity that Yan Qing was unable to hear about Lu Bu's earth-shattering remarks and his arrogant demeanor of fighting against the Confucians in time.
What the world doesn't know is that Yan Qing is actually the one who feels the most headache from Lu Bu's self-assessed generous reward.
To be able to see Lu Bu ascend to the throne with his own eyes in his lifetime, he thinks that his long-cherished wish has been fulfilled.The power is also full-fledged, and there are a lot of talents under his command. There are as many virtuous ministers and fierce generals as there are crucian carp crossing the river, and there is no shortage of his assistance.
Thinking about it carefully, history has changed beyond recognition, and it is impossible for the three kingdoms to stand together, and it is no longer possible for him to continue to take the lead by relying on his understanding of history.
Excluding this, the other thing he is good at is not that he can't find enough people to replace him, maybe the efficiency will be lower, but in any case, he doesn't have to do everything himself, and the situation can be guaranteed to be stable.
It is a good time for Ji Liu to retire bravely, retire early and enjoy the blessings, while raising fish and walking birds at home, while accompanying Lu Bu, who is working hard as the emperor, to make jokes, while waiting for Lu Xun to give birth to his grandson for him to play with.
As a result, Yan Qing didn't have time to act at all, and Lu Bu wished to hold what he thought was the best in front of him, which naturally ruined his fantasy of retiring for the rest of his life—let alone fading out, under such kindness Now, Yan Qing has been pushed to the forefront of the storm.
This intention of "great achievements do not shake the master, and the monarch and ministers have no suspicion" is certainly moving, but Yan Qing feels more like crying without tears.
He never dreamed that Lu Bu would not return home these days and nights, and he just waited for him with such a big move.Knowing that he would object, he deliberately refused to discuss with him, playing tricks first and then playing, which shocked everyone in the morning court, including him who was unprepared, and made the courtiers dumbfounded with fright.
What's more troublesome is that because of Lu Bu's stubbornness, this quickly developed into a formal confrontation between the newly appointed emperor and the old courtiers. Now, when Lu Bu makes other political remarks in the future, he will faintly fall into the passive.
With this in mind, Yan Qing couldn't refuse hastily, lest she fall into Lu Bu's prestige.
Of course, as the source of this controversy, it is not convenient for him to participate in it. In order to avoid the limelight, he simply sued for illness, did not go to the morning court for ten and a half months, and sneaked away in the mansion until the matter came to a conclusion.
What Yan Qing didn't know was that he kept quiet, but it didn't mean that the civil officials headed by Guo Jia and the group of military generals headed by Zhao Yun would honestly stand by and watch.
They didn't even wait for Lu Bu to give a signal, and they went into battle one after another. They were active one by one, and soon the opposition was defeated and quickly defeated.
When Lu Bu won the victory, he immediately declared Yan Qing into the palace.
After Yan Qing listened to the high-spirited Lu Bu's general account, he repeated the last sentence in disbelief: "I will also live in the palace in the future?"
Lu Bu nodded, and said as a matter of course: "After all, Bu can't go out of the palace without incident, and live in Chongguang's mansion again, which is not in accordance with the etiquette."
Yan Qing was suddenly speechless.
Indeed, according to Lu Bu's logic, it is better to make him a king with a different surname first, change from a foreign minister to a half-royal family, and then forcefully move him into the palace, compared to asking the emperor to find a reason to live outside all day long. 'reasonable' some.
At this moment, Yan Qing realized that there is actually a huge difference between the two people's thinking.
When he was still feeling sad about "he will have to live in two places with Lu Bu from now on", and he couldn't help but cherish every time he slept together in the same bed as the last time, but Lu Bu never thought about it from the beginning to the end. The possibility of them not living together was resolved very actively and diligently.
Yan Qing reviewed himself a bit before asking: "May I ask how Your Majesty persuaded them?"
Lu Bu was proud: "It's a long story, if Chong Guang wants to know, Rong Bu will tell you slowly."
It turned out that in order to appease the worries of those pedantic veterans who were worrying about the sky, Lu Bu proposed logically that Yan Qing would not be allowed to enfeoff Yangzhou, but that he should stay in the palace far away from the residence of the harem and concubines on the grounds of the position of prime minister and prince. In this place, a new palace was built, making Yanqing the first king with a different surname to live in the palace for a long time.
This decree sounds absurd and unimaginable, but Lu Bu cunningly used the "window opening theory" to forcefully turn a difficult problem into a sub-question.
First use the two imperial edicts to seal the king of different surnames and the prime minister to confuse the officials, and after making a strong statement, first flaunt Yan Qing with words, and then immediately put forward the terrifying intention of "dividing the world equally" to let them understand that the situation is actually okay. get worse.
Compared with Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, when he entrusted his old brothers to be princes and kings, he kept saying that he wanted to share the great victory of "the world" with them, but then he turned his face ruthlessly and killed them all in order to centralize power. Lu Bu was serious about implementing this idea.
The new dynasty has just been established, if it really follows Lu Bu's nonsense, the huge territory will have to be split into two parts before it is unified?
As soon as they heard this, they immediately protested, twittering, and they were almost arguing.
Lu Bu knew very well that if he proposed to let Yan Qing, a foreign minister, live in the palace for a long time from the beginning, they would definitely oppose them righteously.
So they cleverly disturbed their thoughts first, made them feel confused, and then quickly threw out the most unlikely point to be accepted. When the crowd became excited, they took a small step back and pretended to make a compromise.
Since they were afraid of Yan Qing's power and fear of evil intentions, they might as well let Lu Bu softly detain him in the palace and put him under the watchful eye. In this way, Yan Qing would not be able to go to the fief at all, and he would not be able to pose a threat.
Yan Qing quickly figured this out, and was shocked by Lu Bu's scheming and scheming.
Then I looked at Long Dun, who was wearing a pattern of nine dragons, but looked stupid, and stared at him patronizingly. When Lu Bu was having a good time, he was irritated by the huge contrast. numb.
However, Yan Qing soon discovered that there was something even more frightening to him, which was still waiting for him.
Lu Bu, who obviously hadn't passed the excitement, didn't know the myriad of emotions under Yan Qing's calm expression, suddenly got up, pulled out a new set of robes from the drawer as if by magic, and said with great interest: "Chongguang Can you try on this dress and have a good look at it?"
"Where did it come from?"
A not-so-good premonition suddenly appeared in Yan Qing's heart, and she wisely refused to agree to this petty and pitiful request, took the robe, and unfolded it suddenly.
This was clearly a dress that perfectly complied with the emperor's regulations. Although it was not as expensive as the mian gown worn by Lu Bu today due to material limitations, it was still golden, gorgeous, exquisite, gorgeous and noble.
When you touch it, you can feel a little difference, but just looking at the style, it is undoubtedly exactly the same as the one worn by Lu Bu.
Yan Qing's face darkened.
The biggest problem was that this robe was obviously sewn according to his own stature.
It must have been planned by Lu Bu for a long time. After seeing his appearance in the crown suit, he privately ordered the embroidery girl to rush to make it overnight, just to satisfy that ulterior and dirty wish.
