Chen Wei reported at the door.
Lu Bu beckoned Guo Jia to come over, told him about the excuse, and asked, "Feng Xiao, what's your opinion on this matter?"
After listening to it, Guo Jia pondered for a moment before replying: "My lord, this King Hongnong clearly has evil intentions in his mind, and he's planning for Yanzhou."
Lu Bu nodded, he also knew this, the problem was how to deal with it.
"Master, this matter is actually not that difficult." Guo Jia smiled.
After getting along for so many years, Lu Bu has full trust in his son-in-law, so he hurriedly asked, "What is Fengxiao's trick, tell me quickly."
"Don't the rebels want to drive out the barbarians? My lord, you can use the name of the emperor to issue an edict to let Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and other princes from all walks of life, go to Bingzhou to serve, and allow them to go to Bingzhou immediately with their official positions. , but they are not allowed to lead troops past the Yanzhou defense line." Guo Jia said slowly, with a meaningful smile on his face.
Wonderful!
After hearing this suggestion, Lu Bu slapped his hands suddenly and burst out laughing.
A few days later, the imperial court's letter of appointment was issued to Dongyang City.
The content of the edict is roughly that at this time of national calamity, regardless of Lu Bu, Cao Cao and others, we are all Han Chinese and should jointly resist foreign barbarians.In view of the strong patriotism of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, the imperial court temporarily excused them from the crime of rebellion, and immediately went to Bingzhou to take up their posts. If the barbarians can be expelled, the past mistakes can be redeemed and the past will not be blamed.
Looking at the issued edict, Liu Bian, who was quite proud before, couldn't laugh anymore, and even tore the edict into two halves on the spot, with an extremely gloomy expression.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to make Lu Bu ride a tiger, but who would have thought that Lu Bu would actually lead an army against him.
Fortunately, the eyes of the world are all looking at them.
What's the difference between not allowing soldiers and horses to cross the border, and throwing oneself into a trap to die?
The imperial edict actually said nicely, what about adding officials to ranks and making meritorious deeds to atone for their sins is just for the common people to listen to, and none of the people present here are fools, anyone who believes in the words above will be out of their minds.
When everyone was silent, Liu Bei suddenly opened his eyes with his eyes closed, and he stood up, bowed his hands to Liu Bian and everyone present, and said solemnly: "Everyone, I have something to say, I don't know what to say. Improper speaking."
Liu Bian looked at Liu Bei, nodded slightly, and motioned to him but said it was okay.
"The Son of Heaven is managed by Lu Bu. Whether this edict is the Son of Heaven's intention or Lu Bu's is still unknown. However, today's Son of Heaven was established by Dong Zhuo, while the last edict of the former Emperor was succeeded by the Emperor. Therefore, Hong Kong The king of agriculture is orthodox."
Speaking of this, Liu Bei paused, became extremely solemn and serious, and gave a big gift to Liu Bian, then took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Therefore, Bei hereby boldly proposes that King Hongnong be enthroned, and that Orthodox Han Dynasty!"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was almost speechless in shock.
But after thinking about it, what Liu Bei said was actually not unreasonable.
Back then, the late emperor's edict was announced by General He Jin in front of all the officials, and the prince Liu Bian ascended the throne. Later, due to Dong Zhuo's cruelty, he deposed the emperor.Thinking about it carefully, Liu Bian was not at fault during his reign. Now that Liu Bian, who is the King of Hongnong, still exists in the world, the throne should naturally be returned to him.
Hearing this, Liu Bian's complexion changed, and he reprimanded Liu Bei with righteous words: "Uncle Emperor, how can you make such rebellious and immoral remarks and trap me in injustice?"
"Your Highness, this world should belong to you! Today's world is just a puppet supported by Dong Bandit in the past. Only you are the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty established by the late emperor, and only you are the hope of the people!"
Liu Bei reversed his low-key attitude in the past, and his voice was passionate and eloquent.
Anyway, everyone is now a grasshopper on the same rope. Instead of being subject to the edict of the emperor who is far away in Guanzhong, it is better to embrace Liu Bian as the emperor.
And in this way, they can still make a contribution from the dragon. If they win in the future, everyone present here will be the hero of the founding of the country, and everything is easy to do.
Even if it is written in the history books in the future, it will be written that they overthrew the tyranny of the Chang'an court and rebuilt the Han Dynasty with new glory.
If they lose, anyway, they have already been classified as traitors by the court. Is there a worse ending than this?
From the moment they joined the crusade against Lu Bu's army, it was destined to be a big gamble.
The bet is the wealth, life and future prospects.
Isn't the reason why Lu Bu has been so unscrupulous these years is in the name of the court?
After figuring this out, everyone in the hall immediately stood up and begged.
"King Hongnong, please ascend the throne and rule with righteousness!"
"King Hongnong please ascend the throne!"
Liu Bian waved his hands again and again, but still refused, saying that he did not want to harm me.
"Your Highness, the Han Dynasty is now in turmoil. As the orthodox blood of the Han Dynasty, how can you see that the country is run by outsiders! If you don't agree today, you will be killed in this hall!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Bei slammed into the hall pillar.
"Big brother!"
Seeing this, the two brothers Guan and Zhang cried out anxiously and hurriedly stopped them.
The two of them were also taken aback. It had been a long time since their eldest brother was so excited.
"Nowadays Lu Bu buys people's hearts everywhere, just because he is afraid of our forces. Once Lu Bu shows his real jackal face, he will become the second Dong Zhuo, and the people of the world will suffer!"
Liu Bei, who was held by the two brothers, couldn't break free, covering his face and crying.
Everyone at the scene was very moved when they saw it, and praised Liu Beizhai for his benevolence, he is a rare benevolent gentleman in the world.
At this time, Cao Cao also stood up and asked Liu Bian to ascend the throne.
Although he was somewhat reluctant in his heart, this was indeed a solution to the current situation.As for whether they will be ministers of the dragon or rebellious thieves in the future, it all depends on their ability.
Under the repeated requests of everyone, Liu Bian reluctantly agreed after declining again.
then.
Two months later, Liu Bian, wearing a crown on his head and an imperial robe of black color on the outside, climbed up to the built palace and proclaimed himself emperor in Dongyang City.
Yuan Shao was the General and the Taiwei, Yuan Shu was the General of Chariots, Cao Cao was Sikong, Liu Bei was Situ, Gongsun Zan was the General of the Guard, and the rest of the supporters were also appointed as officials.
At the same time, Liu Bian issued an appeal to the world, declaring that he is the heir apparent established by the late emperor, and the emperor Liu Xie in Chang'an was just a puppet managed by Dong Zhuo back then, and now he is being coerced by Lu Bu, so he does not have the appearance of an emperor at all. , so he restored the throne here, and formalized the Han Dynasty.
As soon as this proclamation came out, the world was in an uproar.
Huainan, Shouchun.
Yuan Shu's face was gloomy as he sent off the envoy of Xuanzhao.
A guy who didn't know if it was true or not was actually pushed to the throne like this.
What's even more exasperating is that his rank is actually under that guy Yuan Shao!
He refused to accept it, nor was he willing to accept it.
Why!
