Shouchun, July 195.
Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and other scholars under Yuan Shu gathered in the chamber.
"Yang Changshi, do you know what you want me to do?" Zhang Xun asked Yang Hong, who was favored by Yuan Shu.
Yang Hong just smile: "the meaning of the Lord, some can not guess out, you still wait."
A group of literati and martial arts had to wait in silence. Fortunately, Yuan Shu came out of the inner room soon, looking satisfied.
"Gentlemen After Yuan Shu took his seat, he said in a high spirit: "now that sun Lang is attacking Jiangdong, the territory of our army has expanded to the whole territory of Yangzhou, thus our army's strength has greatly increased."
Ji Ling stepped out of the line and said, "my Lord, do you want to send troops against Liu Bei again? At the end of the year, the general will be willing to take criminal and meritorious service and lead the army out of Runan to break Yingchuan and Chen state! "
Since he was defeated by Liu Bei and Xu Huang last time, Ji Ling is deeply ashamed. He always wants to attack Liu Bei again and wash away his shame.
Yuan Shu slightly waved his hand: "don't worry. Let's talk about it later. There's another big thing today."
Yuan Shu's eyes were bright, and he looked around at his men and women. He said in a loud voice, "gentlemen, in the past, the emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was only a pavilion long, with a history of 400 years, and his Qi was exhausted. The fourth generation and the third Duke of the yuan family are the people's expectations. We should comply with the will of heaven and become the emperor. I don't know what you think? "
As soon as Yuan Shu said this, his men and women were shocked.
Emperor?
In recent years, although the Han Dynasty suffered many wars and its momentum declined, even if the Yellow turban rebellion stirred up millions of yellow scarves, at most, it was known as a "great virtuous teacher", but it did not reach the stage of being emperor.
Since Wang Mang's political disorder, there have been many people who dare to be emperor in the world. For example, Yuyang Zhangju, who was killed by Gongsun Zan, and Kuaiji, who was killed by Sun Jian, are the so-called "Yangming emperor". However, they are all small and noisy games. However, it seems that Yuan Shu's posture is really serious.
Many civil and military ministers were still considering it, but Yan Xiang was the first to blurt out: "my Lord! This will bring destruction to itself
Yuan Shu heard Yan Xiang's voice against it, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Yan engaged in, why not?"
Yan Xiang looked dignified and said in a bitter voice: "King Wen of Zhou Dynasty had occupied two thirds of the land in the world at that time, and he still submitted to King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. Although the Lord's family was very important, he was afraid that he could not compare with King Wen? What's more, Liu Yuqing is in the imperial court now, occupying Guanzhong and looking at the Central Plains. Is the Lord sure to fight against Liu Yuqing? "
Damn it!
Yuan Shu stares at Yan Xiang fiercely. He doesn't mention anything else, but mentions Liu Ye, the thorn in Yuan Shu's eye. Yuan Shu has been defeated several times, while Liu Ye is growing stronger step by step. Yuan Shu has long seen him unhappy. How can he bear it?
"Yan engaged in!" Yuan Shu said in a sharp voice: "my yuan surname comes from Chen, and Chen is after Dashun! Why couldn't someone be the son of heaven after he was the king of ancient times
King Wu of Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop after the battle of Muye, so he held a grand sacrificial ceremony for the stability of the people. During the sacrificial ceremony, King Wu of Zhou, in order to win over the hearts of the people, granted gods to farmers after Jiao, Yellow Emperor to Zhu, Emperor Yao to Ji, Emperor Shun to Chen, and Dayu to Qi.
Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, fiefdoms could also be used as people's surnames. For example, Shangyang was born in the state of Wei, so it was also called Weiyang. Because the fiefdom was awarded by Emperor Xiaogong of Qin to be in Shangdi, it was also called Shangyang. Jiang Taigong is also known as LV Shang because he was born in Lvdi.
Because King Wu of Zhou granted the empress of Emperor Shun to Chen, the descendants of Shun also had the surname of Chen.
"Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao. I'm a highway, isn't it Yuan Shu's voice was stern and urgent: "if someone does not ascend the throne to be emperor, it is against the will of heaven!"
"Your Majesty is right." Yang Hong was very good at seeing the wind and steering. He immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is the destiny of heaven. We are lucky to assist the son of heaven. It is a blessing of life. Please ascend to the throne and be emperor."
Therefore, if yuan Rui and Emperor Xunzhi did not agree with him, they would not agree with him.
"Yes, my Lord is a popular hope. Please call him emperor."
"My Lord is rich enough to be the son of heaven."
"We are ready to assist your majesty."
Seeing that most of the civil and military personnel under his command were full of praise, Yuan Shu was content to say: "in this case, then someone will be lonely!"
"Lord!" Yan Xiang had to make the last effort: "if the Lord is emperor, all the heroes in the world will regard him as treason. When the time comes, Liu Ye will unite with the princes of the world to launch an attack. What should the Lord do?"
Yuan Shu frowned. Before he could speak, Yang Hong sneered.
"Joke!" Yang Hong exclaimed, "my Lord now holds the two prefectures of Yu and Yang, and his power is very strong. Because Cao Cao competed with Liu Ye for Xuzhou, Liu Ye did not appoint the governor of Xuzhou, but Cao Cao took charge of it."
Yang Hong turned to Yuan Shu and said, "please use the name list of the son of heaven to appoint Cao Cao as the governor of Xuzhou and Marquis Qiao. In this way, Cao Cao will be willing to accept it and join hands with our army to fight against Liu Ye."
Yuan Shu nodded: "well, although Cao achuan was a descendant of eunuch, he was also employed when he was alone. It's no good to make him a governor of Xuzhou."Cao Cao was born in Qiaoxian County of peiguo, so Yang Hong suggested that Cao Cao be named Qiao Hou. In the Han Dynasty, Marquis of the Han Dynasty were no more than the marquis in Guannei. The Marquis of Pavilion, township, county and Qiao belonged to the highest rank Marquis and county marquis.
Yang Hong also said: "in addition, in those days, Emperor Gaozu once said that the king who was not Liu's family should be attacked by the whole world. Since the Lord ascended the throne and became emperor, he naturally wanted to enfeoffment the people who were close to him. Yuan Benchu occupied Jizhou and crossed Youzhou, and the land of Hebei was very influential. So please give him the title of king of Zhao. "
Jizhou belonged to the state of Zhao in the Warring States period, so Yang Hong suggested that Yuan Shao be the king of Zhao.
Yuan Shu frowned, and it's OK to seal Cao Cao. But what can Yuan Shao, a common family son, have? Yuan Shu hated Yuan Shao more than Liu Ye.
Seeing Yuan Shu's frown, Yang Hong bowed down and said, "my Lord, the original Duke is in Hebei Province, and he can plan to merge states in the West. If you go south, you can contain the Central Plains. Please make the Duke Benchu king of Zhao for the sake of the general situation."
Yuan Shu waved his hand and said impatiently, "it's all. At least it's a family. As you said, it's good to make yuan Benchu king of Zhao, and let him restrain Liu Ye. "
Yang Hong was overjoyed that the two proposals put forward today had been implemented. After Yuan Shu became emperor, he would surely be awarded a great reward. The position of the three magistrates was not in sight.
Yan Xiang sighed: "if the Lord does this, let alone Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, even sun CE will betray him!"
After that, Yan Xiang flung his sleeve and left.
