Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 612 Prosperity is over
It’s a pity that I failed to recruit Tian Feng and Ju Shou, but if there is time, these two people can’t figure it out, so they can continue to stay in the sky prison. How, only time will tell.

In fact, Chu Nan does not lack high-end talents now, Wen You has Chen Gong, Liu Ye, Guo Jia and the upcoming Jia Xu, as well as Xu Shu who has just improved in his official career.

There are Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Zhang Ying, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, these generals from the top to the first-rate, and there are countless second-rate generals.

But Chu Nan still felt that it was not enough. As the world is changing every day, the future enemies may not necessarily be princes. If there is a catastrophe for the human race, there will be no shortage of top and first-class talents. This is his respect for Tian Feng and Ju Shou. The reason for the general tolerance is also the reason for the tolerance for the Xun family in the first place.

The New Year is approaching, with the Central Plains under the governance of Chu Nan, the products are becoming more and more abundant, and the people's life is also visible to the naked eye. Although the New Year is also celebrated in the past, most of them are festivals for rich and noble families. For ordinary people, the most to eat Well done, and now at least in Xuchang City, you can feel some festive atmosphere.

There are people buying goods everywhere in the square market, and some new industries have naturally emerged as the times require.

Of course, not everyone can appreciate the festive atmosphere.

Imperial Palace, Dexin Palace.

"What on earth does he want to do!?" Liu Xie slammed the imperial edict that Chu Nan pushed back to the ground, and roared, "This is the second time, I have already promised him to be prime minister, what else does he want to do? Do you want me to abdicate?" ? Okay, I'm leaving now!"

After the first worship of Chu Nan as the prime minister was pushed back by Chu Nan, all the officials jointly petitioned, saying that now only the position of prime minister is worthy of Chu Nan's status, and Liu Xie did as well, but Chu Nan is just like the first time , declined the imperial court's reward, saying that he was not worthy of the position of prime minister because of his poor virtue.

"Your Majesty, maybe Lingjun really just doesn't want to sit in the position of prime minister." Yang Rang reminded carefully.

"Why don't you want to sit, he just wants more!" Liu Xie kicked over the table case, hundreds of officials jointly recommended it, and the emperor issued an edict twice. If Chu Nan really didn't want to do it, he should go to the court to explain it instead of hiding Not coming out at home will make other people embarrass him, the emperor, and make the world feel that he is unwilling.

Besides, everyone has been rewarded for their great achievements in pacifying the north, but Chu Nan is the only one. This edict of reward was not written by him, but by Chu Nan. How could he intentionally pull him down?This is obviously unreasonable.

Liu Xie can be sure that Chu Nan must want the position of prime minister. The reason for this reasoning is just to build momentum for himself, but even if he wants to build momentum, even if Liu Xie's coup fails, two invitations are enough Showing sincerity, but Chu Nan still reasoned, which made Liu Xie very upset, but helpless.

"Perhaps... it's because you don't feel sincere enough?" Yang Rang said in a low voice.

Liu Xie suddenly turned around and stared at Yang Rang.

Yang Rang quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, the servant is talking too much."

Liu Xie snorted coldly, sat down again, closed his eyes for a moment and said: "Notify the Ministry of Rites that there are Shaofu and Sikongfu, and I will issue an edict to worship Chu Nan as the prime minister again, and add the title of Marquis of Pengcheng, plus Jiuxi, Jianlu to the palace, and entry into the palace." No courtship, no praise! I want to see if he, Chu Nan, can hold on to such an honor!"

The so-called Jiajiuxi was originally a high-standard reward from the emperor to the princes, such as chariots and horses, clothing, Le County, Zhuhu, Nabi, Huben, axes, bows and arrows, and stews.

In addition, the sword shoes go to the palace, the imperial court does not tend, and the praise is not famous, which is the highest level of rewards for courtiers, but there are not many people who can receive these rewards in history. The earliest one was Zhou Gongdan, but not everyone has this qualification. To live up to this honor, the most famous person in modern times is Wang Mang.

As for the Marquis of Pengcheng, it belongs to the county marquis. After Liu Xiu Zhongxing, the Liehou was divided into three levels: county marquis, township marquis, and Ting marquis. Belonging to the county marquis, but the Pengcheng Marquis in southern Chu is enfeoffed by the county seat. Although he is still a county marquis, he is enfeoffed by the county government, which is faintly higher than other county marquises.

Whether Chu Nan can accept this honor and award depends on him. Anyway, I will give you what you want, and it is too much. It depends on whether people in the world recognize it or not.

Yang Rang didn't dare to say much. After bowing and bowing, he trotted away to deliver the imperial edict.

Now the Minister of Rites is still Kong Rong. After all, no matter what the reason is, Kong Rong really did not participate in the coup. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Chu Nan to continue to hand over the Ministry of Rites to Kong Rong.

But Kong Rong didn't want to participate in this recent incident, especially after Yang Biao sent the letter, he was even more sure that it was a plot by Chu Nan to intimidate the emperor.

However, Kong Rong, who is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, cannot continue to complain about such things as the emperor worshiping his prime minister.

But looking at the emperor's edict, Kong Rong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Your Majesty... How can Your Majesty promise him?" Kong Rong looked at the content of the edict, his face flushed with anger, even if Chu Nan had meritorious service, how old is he?What virtue deserves this honor?Kong Rong's first reaction was no.

"Wen Jugong." Sun Qian who had already packed up his luggage and came to say goodbye to Kong Rong said with a bitter smile: "In Gan's humble opinion, at this time, Chu Nan is in the limelight, so don't compete with it. Your Majesty issued an edict on this matter, and then It is a foregone conclusion, if the public resists forcefully, it will happen that Chu Nan's wish will be fulfilled, wouldn't he hand over his post of minister of the Ministry of Rites? It is better to keep a useful body and wait for the right time."

This is an imperial edict issued by the emperor. If Kong Rong dismissed it, it would be against the will of the emperor. The first person to be impacted was not Chu Nan, but the emperor.

And Chu Nan could use this to justifiably win Kong Rong's position as Minister of Rites.

After all, only Kong Rong, a righteous man left in the court, is willing to fight against Chu Nan and continue to stand on the side of the emperor. If Kong Rong is captured by Chu Nan, there will be no one in the court. Support the emperor, and the court will completely become the court of southern Chu instead of the emperor's court.

After hearing the words, Kong Rong was silent for a long time, sighed helplessly, looked at Sun Gan and said, "Gongyou is leaving now?"

"I've been lingering in Xuchang for many days, it's time to say goodbye." Sun Gan nodded.

"Gongyou told Xuande that although Chu Nan is powerful now, his actions are reckless and will not be tolerated by the world, and he will lose sooner or later. Xuande should not worry, just wait for the time to change." Kong Rong sighed.

"I will tell my lord what I have said." Sun Qian nodded, bowed to Kong Rong, and left.

Seeing the direction in which Sun Qian left, and looking at the edict in his hand, Kong Rong sighed helplessly and lost his mind.

Three days before the New Year's Eve, Liu Xie personally invited Chu Nan to go to court, recruiting civil and military officials from the Man Dynasty, and worshiping Chu Nan as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. The prime minister who had been deposed for a long time was reactivated. Chu Nan was 25 years old. He was an official prime minister. Although he was not the youngest prime minister in history, he must be the most powerful prime minister.

At the same time, Chu Nan worshiping the prime minister also represented the arrival of a new era. The six affairs were almost handled by the prime minister's office, and the relationship between the emperor and the courtiers was weakened again with the establishment of the prime minister's office.

"From today onwards, I should be called the Prime Minister." In the Chu Mansion, many guests came to congratulate him, and Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan at this time with some emotion.

At that time, it was only a merchant in Xiapi, who had no way to become an official. It was only after he was kidnapped by Lu Lingqi by accident that he officially entered the official career. It has been a few years since the merchants in Xiapi used to be, but now they are full of friends and power The government and the opposition ended the era of the gentry with their own efforts.

Whether it was Chu Nan who started this era, or whether this era chose Chu Nan, it's hard to say, but Chen Gong was very happy from the bottom of his heart seeing his disciple's achievements today.

"Actually, I don't like this kind of atmosphere." On the attic, Chu Nan held on to the railing, overlooking the guests passing by in the courtyard, including many famous people. Chu Nan smiled and said, "Even if we know each other all over the world, how many people do we know?"

Turning his head to look at Chen Gong, Chu Nan said with a smile: "Whether the teacher believes it or not, the disciple actually prefers the feeling when he was in Xiapi. Although he has nothing, at least he is striving for a goal every day. However, when the goal is achieved At that time, I discovered that the best time is actually the process rather than the result. If the disciple is born and has the glory of today, I am afraid that he will not be able to do so many shocking things in the eyes of others."

"It's time to cultivate your mind." Chen Gong nodded, looked at Chu Nan and said with a smile, "What are you going to do next?"

"The four directions are stable, the spring plowing is approaching, the disciples are preparing to leave for Luoyang, then Chang'an, Xiliang, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou. Now that the situation is prosperous, we should be more cautious. The future crisis will not appear clearly again. To be honest, this disciple is a bit swollen now, and needs to be vigilant all the time. People are always more willing to take the easier path, and this is the same with disciples. The higher you stand, the more things you can see, but it is difficult to see the whole picture. Looking at this moment, my eyes are full of prosperity. The world is showing us a friendly side, but I should know that it is only because I am the prime minister. If I am still a commoner, the scene I see will be another world .”

"It's best for Ziyan to understand." Chen Gong nodded in satisfaction. Many people can work hard and restrain their desires when they are in a low point, but they are more likely to get lost when they are in glory, because the world will show their ugliest and dirtiest side. It's not ridiculous to hide it, why not eat minced meat.

"When are you going to leave?" Chen Gong asked.

"Tomorrow." Chu Nan said.

"So anxious?" Chen Gong asked in surprise.

"Later, I was afraid that my heart would be lethargic, so I didn't want to leave. Anyway, most of the world has already been won, why make myself so tired, the people also live like that, why bother to change in such a hurry?" Chu Nan laughed.

"Alright, be careful, there will be more people coveting Ziyan's life in today's world." Chen Gong nodded, as his disciple, he sees things clearly.

"In this regard...the teacher has never seen me careless!" Chu Nan laughed.

Chen Gong also laughed.

The night is getting darker, the guests are gradually dispersing, and what is left is a mess of cups and plates. Only the servants of the Chu family are cleaning up the leftovers. The end of the prosperity is often the end of the story, because people don't want to see the leftovers...
