Chapter 324 Liu Bei: Wants to be emperor! (One hundred monthly tickets add more updates!)

"Go and send out invitations. Three days later, there will be a banquet for all the ministers at the Prince's Mansion!"

The pattern should be enlarged and cautious, which is not Liu Chan's style.

And
Liu Chan wanted his future ministers to understand his lord's behavior, governance program, and even his temperament, and he had to reveal some of it to these ministers.

The king governs his ministers, = the monarch needs to know the talents and character of his ministers, and the ministers serve the emperor, and the ministers also need to know the monarch's preferences and aspirations.

To put it bluntly, when a new leader takes office, his ministers must know what his goal is. Only those ministers can move towards this goal.

As well as what the new leader values ​​​​and what the negative scale is, these ministers need to know.

It's like a briefing.

At the big banquet three days later, Liu Chan wanted to give them some fresh air.

Fei Yi and Dong Yun looked at each other. Before they came forward to talk, Zhang Bao came forward.

"Your Highness, are they the 46 people who invited these guests, or are there others?"

Liu Chan chuckled and said, "All those with high moral standards and high official ranks and military positions are invited to come over."

Those with high moral character and high prestige, plus those with high official titles and military positions.

Then I'm afraid all the officials of the Hanzhong Prince's Palace have been invited.

Zhang Bao thought about it for a while and asked: "Do I need to inform the king in advance about this matter before making any plans?"

After all, inviting so many people is still an important person. Even if Liu Bei trusts him again, he still has to inform him to show respect, right?

Liu Chan nodded.

"Let the left guard of the Prince's Palace lead us to inform our father. How about that?"

Zhang Bao nodded immediately.

"The last general takes orders!"

Turning his head, Liu Chan looked at Dong Yun.

"Prince Zhan Shi, regarding the invitation and the specific list of invitations, please draw up a list and I will go through it first."

Dong Yun immediately took the order.

"promise!"

After giving these instructions, Liu Chan turned to look at Fei Yi and said, "I heard that there have been many lawbreakers inside and outside Chengdu in recent months?"

Fei Yi nodded slightly.

"Most of them were instigated by Yizhou powerful people, and the unscrupulous immigrants from Nanzhong took the opportunity to cause trouble. Your Majesty has given the Chengdu Order full authority to handle this matter."

The immigration issue has been the most difficult thing to deal with since ancient times.

Chengdu is underpopulated, and tens of thousands of barbarians from South China were moved here at once. It will take time for the foreign races to assimilate.

"Suppression only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. We will solve this matter when Princess Zhu Rong arrives in Chengdu."

Liu Chan already had an idea in mind on how to appease these immigrants.

"We can start preparations for the recruitment of students in Jiangwu Hall now. An announcement will be made and the selection of students for Jiangwu Hall will begin in one month."

When talented scholars arrived in Chengdu, Liu Chan naturally wanted to give them a chance to stand out.

Furthermore, there is never too much talent.

"promise!"

Fei Yi took the order immediately.

Hanzhong Palace.

Liu Bei and Fa Zheng sat opposite each other.

A pot of hot wine had been finished by the two of them.

Liu Bei moved his sore thighs and changed into a comfortable sitting position.

"I wonder if Xiaozhi thinks that the false king Cao Pi will usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor?"

Usurping the throne and proclaiming himself emperor?

This is a sensitive topic.

"From my perspective, I'm afraid it won't be possible in a short time, right?"

Fazheng straightened his body unconsciously.

What Liu Bei is asking now is when Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, but that's not what he really meant.

The drunkard's intention is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers.This is something that neither the king nor his ministers can explain clearly between the mountains and rivers.

Everyone understands what the other person means, but there are some things that are fine as long as they are not said, but will change once they are.

"Why?"

Liu Bei frowned slightly.

"If Cao Pi's previous southern expedition could suppress Zang Ba, pacify the land of Xuzhou, and then push back Sun Quan from the east of the Yangtze River, and the land of Runan was not lost, maybe this year can be done. However, the mess in Xuzhou has not been solved, the reputation has been ruined, and Hefei has also been lost. , even the rats from Jiangdong are no match, and the large county of Runan is occupied by His Highness. Such an incompetent monarch cannot even stabilize the country, how can he dare to do anything rebellious?"

usurper.

This will be condemned by the world.

He can't even stabilize the basic situation of Wei State, so he wants to usurp the Han Dynasty?

Be careful if you take too big a step and pull your balls.

"I believe that the false king Cao Pi has to stabilize the domestic situation and achieve success in foreign wars before he commits any rebellion."

"Takanao is wrong."

Liu Bei placed his hand on the brazier in front of him.

"Cough cough."

He covered his mouth and coughed twice, his face turning from rosy to pale.

"Is your Majesty in the wrong?"

Fazheng was stunned, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face.

When he thought back to what he had just said, the logic was very clear and the truth was tenable.

"Not only is it wrong, it's terribly wrong."

Liu Bei showed a proud smile on his face.

"I estimate that within this year, the false king Cao Pi will commit rebellion."

This year?

Fazheng frowned and asked, "How can you see it?"

"Xiao Zhi is one of the most powerful counselors in the world, and his resourcefulness is unparalleled. However, where you stand is from the perspective of a counselor, and where you are looking is from the perspective of a monarch."

Advisor, monarch?
Liu Bei continued with great satisfaction:
"From the perspective of an adviser, the puppet Wei is unstable at home and has been repeatedly defeated abroad. How can it commit rebellion? Isn't this asking for death? However, from the perspective of the monarch, it is precisely because of domestic instability that it is precisely because of After repeated defeats in foreign countries, the false king Cao Pi wanted to usurp and treason to appease his subordinates."

Normally, Fazheng would answer his questions, but now he was helping Fazheng answer his questions. This feeling was really good.

"Your Highness means"

Fazheng also reacted.

"If Cao Pi proclaims himself emperor, his officials will be able to ascend to heaven, and their interests will be tied together, which will stabilize the originally turbulent Wei State as quickly as possible."

Liu Bei nodded heavily.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

As he spoke, Liu Bei put his sore and swollen feet on the fire pot to roast, and said slowly: "Furthermore, the ninth-level official law implemented by Cao Pi has transferred the power of governing the country from the emperor to the hands of the nobles. Well, even the selection of officials was controlled by the nobles. Even as an emperor, he had to make concessions to the nobles at every turn.

Why don't the gentry and ministers of the Wei State praise him for being such a "giving" lord?Not fully supporting his rule? "

Fazheng nodded.

"In this case, your Majesty understands."

Fa Zheng did not say what he understood.

But Liu Bei smiled softly, looked at Fazheng and nodded.

Both of them are talented people and have worked together for so many years, so everything goes without saying.

If you want to become emperor, you have to go through the process and prepare in advance.

These ones
But it all takes time!

Now Fazheng understood that he was waiting for the news of Cao Pi's usurpation from Wei.

After getting this news, the follow-up operations will begin immediately!

Fa Zheng knew it in his heart.

The three prosperous Han Dynasties were not those of the Han Emperor in Xu Du.

But the big man of my lord!
