Chapter 341 Liu Bei proclaims himself emperor: I will take responsibility for the infamy! (Please give me a monthly ticket! Additional updates for [-] monthly tickets!)
"However, this is the rumor inside and outside Xudu, and up and down Luoyang."

After Han Emperor Liu Xie abdicated, he was no longer an insignificant figure to the Wei State.

Although he had been the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he no longer had the ability to raise his voice.

In addition, Liu Xie was so cooperative during the Zen position, which shows that he is a smart person, and at this time, smart people will not have other ideas.

Such an obedient puppet, with such a legendary Zen process, how could he, Cao Pi, kill him?

"What happened?"

His eyes were red and he stared at Wu Zhi.

"This is not the place to talk. Your Majesty, please move on."

Cao Pi turned to look at the two beauties who had just revealed themselves, and could only nod.

"stop!"

Accompanied by the maid, Cao Pi, neatly dressed, went to the quiet room inside the Tongque Terrace.

I originally came to Tongque Terrace to have fun, but I didn't expect that this happiness would not be found, and troubles came instead.

"It's the way it is."

Wu Zhazi carefully explained the cause and effect. After hearing this, Cao Pi immediately discovered something strange.

"Then Liu Fang is a retainer and staff member of General Jianwu Liu Ruo. He is from a clan of the Han Dynasty. How could he kill Duke Shanyang?"

Wu Zhi continued: "Hua Xin has already conducted some investigations in Xudu. A year ago, Liu Fang was still a mat weaver and shoe seller. It can be said that he lived in poverty. In just one year, Within a short period of time, he reached the position of staff of General Jianwu's Mansion, and his success is not unpleasant."

Cao Pi's eyes flickered and he asked, "What are the specialties of this person?"

Wu Zhidao: "According to what Liu Ruo said, this Liu Fang is very capable. Whatever he wants, Liu Fang can satisfy him. He is indeed a man with great powers."

Great powers?
"Humph!"

Cao Pi snorted coldly and said, "So, this person is the commander of Jianjunsi?"

In the past six months, Cao Pi has actually ordered to uncover the details of the military commanders in Xudu, Luoyang, and Yecheng.

However.
The results were very few.

Nowadays, Jian Junsi, who is in Xudu, is able to kill the Duke of Shanyang. Even Cao Pi has to be frightened by this kind of energy.

If they can kill Shan Yanggong this time, won't they be able to kill him next time?

"Jianwu General Liu Ruo, can he be involved?"

Wu Zhi shook his head and said: "The news from Xudu said that Liu Ruo didn't know about it and he was also deceived. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Liu Ruo had no motive to kill Shanyang Gong, nor did he become the Chief of Military Affairs. It is necessary to do it carefully, and His Majesty’s favor is already very solemn.”

Cao Pi nodded, but clenched his fists tightly.

"I was definitely not the one who killed Shanyang Gong, but if he died in Xudu, I was not the one who killed him. This basin of dirty water is going to be poured on me."

Even if it was not you, Cao Pi, who killed Duke Shan Yang.

In the territory of Wei State, on the outskirts of Xudu, Duke Shanyang could die, but he was assassinated in full view of the public. Even if he was not killed by you, it was because of your connivance with the assassin.

"How to deal with this matter?"

Cao Pi would definitely not be willing to take over this basin of dirty water.

Wu Zhi thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty should immediately issue an edict, saying that it was Duke Shanyang who was killed by the military commander between the prince and the prince of Hanzhong, so that Liu Bei could proclaim himself emperor! Once Liu Bei proclaims himself emperor, he will be firmly established. The crime of assassinating Duke Shan Yang!"

Why did Jian Jun Si do this to kill Shan Yang Gong?
One is to ruin Wei's reputation.

Second, Liu Bei is preparing to proclaim himself emperor.

Now that Cao Pi has become emperor, the Han Dynasty has been replaced.

So what is Liu Bei's King of Hanzhong?
The Han Dynasty no longer exists, so the King of Hanzhong who was conferred by the Han Dynasty will naturally no longer exist.

Just as Cao Cao became king, Liu Bei also wanted to become king.

Now that Cao Pi has proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Bei will naturally proclaim himself emperor as well.

This means that the two forces must be equal.

You cannot say that you, an emperor, beat me, a king.

So I’m not inherently inferior to you?
This is something that the Liu Bei Group cannot accept.

But if you want to be emperor, Liu Xie is still alive. If you want to be emperor, it is inevitable that there will be some rumors.

Liu Bei is known for his loyalty and righteousness. If he proclaims himself emperor, won't he put himself into a situation of disloyalty and unrighteousness?

Only when Liu Xie dies can Liu Bei's proclaimed emperor be justified and no one can gossip.

The thief Cao usurped the Han Dynasty and murdered the Han Emperor. Now in order to continue the existence of the Han Dynasty and continue my 400-year-old Han Dynasty foundation, then I, Liu Bei, can only proclaim myself emperor.

Say this.
It's much smoother.

Wu Zhi naturally knew Liu Chan's thoughts, how could he make him get what he wanted?
"Not bad!"

Wu Zhi's flexible thoughts made Cao Pi's eyes light up.

"Besides issuing an edict, what else do I need to do?"

Wu Zhi pondered again, and after a moment, he said: "Your Majesty should reward the descendants of Shanyang Gong to stop Youyou's mouth."

Award.

Cao Pi nodded.

"What about other than that?"

Wu Zhi said again: "Seal the news. If anyone dares to discuss this matter, Your Majesty will send someone to kill him!"

If there is no discussion, there will naturally be no follow-up.

"At the same time, His Majesty sent people to arrest those Jianjunsi Xizuo and put all the blame on Jianjunsi Xizuo."

Cao Pi would put the blame on Jian Junsi Xizuo.

But
This military department is so meticulous that it can’t be caught!
"What good strategy does Ji Zhong have? Can he catch the military commander to make a detailed plan?"

Wu Zhi looked like he was sure of victory. He said with a smile: "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go! Taking this opportunity, Your Majesty can beat all those disobedient ministers into the army."

In a word.

As long as I kill enough people, am I afraid that I won't kill enough people?

Those who are disobedient are most likely to be Jian Junsi Xizao!

Take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents!
"It makes sense!"

Cao Pi had good political ability and immediately understood the underlying meaning of Wu Zhi's words.

Taking this opportunity, we might be able to clean the court.

After proclaiming himself emperor, Cao Pi would also take power.

If you don't firmly control the power of Wei, how can you compete with Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong?

Chengdu.

Prince's Mansion.

The lobby was now filled with ministers wearing official robes.

"Why doesn't His Highness come out? That Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and killed His Majesty. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, someone needs to take charge!"

Just like the ministers of Wei State wanted Cao Pi to be emperor.

The ministers of Liu Bei's group naturally wanted Liu Bei to become emperor.

Liu Bei has become emperor, so everyone can move their butts up.

"The king is recuperating and no one has been seen. His Highness is the one in charge of Han China now. How come His Highness can't be found?"

These officials looked anxious. If it weren't for the crown prince's personal guards standing by, they might have rushed into the backyard of the crown prince's residence and 'invited' Liu Chan out.

now.

The backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

The pavilion inside the bamboo forest.

There were seven people sitting around the stove under the pavilion.

There was a pot of wine boiling on the stove, and it was boiling. The aroma of wine was overflowing for a while.

Fazheng, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhuge Liang, Xu Jing, and Wu Yi are sitting around the stove with Liu Chan.

Although the weather in January doesn't snow much, the snow has melted and it is actually the coldest time of the year.

Liu Chan was wearing a white fur shawl, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked in good spirits.Although there was a lot of sex, Hua Tuo and several of his disciples were around to take care of the body, so there was no need to worry about health.

"It's extremely cold. Everyone, please have a bowl of hot wine."

One person poured a small bottle of wine, and Liu Chan drank a small bottle of hot wine with a smile on his face.

"Ah~ good wine!"

Crafted wine, when heated, is more refreshing than ordinary wine.

"Good wine!"

After Zhang Fei, a black-bearded man, drank a bottle of wine, two red clouds appeared on his dark face.

Everyone drank a glass of wine, but no one spoke.

It's like holding your breath to see who has the least patience.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Fei intentionally or unintentionally.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei had turned into a piece of meat at this moment, and he simply ignored the knife-like eyes of the people around him.

In the breath-holding contest, Xu Jing lost in the end.

As the person with the highest reputation in Liu Bei's group, Xu Jing had wanted to persuade him to join for a long time.

He licked his white beard under his chin and said: "Your Highness, Cao Cao usurped the throne and His Majesty was assassinated. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the country cannot be without an owner for a day. The 400-year-old foundation of my great Han Dynasty cannot be interrupted like this." , please also ask His Highness to make it clear in front of the king that he will ascend to the throne as soon as possible."

When Xu Jing spoke, Wu Yi also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is popular among the people in the world and has made unparalleled contributions. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, only your Majesty can revive the Han Dynasty and return it to the old capital!"

Zhang Fei groaned and said, "Cao Pi's son can sit on this emperor's throne, but my brother can't?"

Zhuge Liang also said: "Nowadays, in the Nine Provinces, people with lofty ideals are eagerly waiting for the king to ascend the throne to save the people from the fire and water. Please give your highness a clear warning."

Liu Chan drank wine and watched their performance.

"Since you want your father to ascend the throne, why come to the Prince's Mansion? You should go to the Royal Palace instead."

Fazheng smiled softly and said: "Of course we can go, but it would be better if His Highness is with us."

The power of following the dragon is the power of persuading people to advance.

For this kind of achievement, should Liu Chan be given the first credit?

"That's it, I'll wait for someone to persuade you to come in and let your father understand what we mean first."

Do you understand?
Liu Chan understands it too well.

In fact, Liu Bei summoned him yesterday.

What they were talking about was the enthronement.

then
Fa Zheng is right next to him.

Now this guy is pretending not to know anything.

Preparations for this enthronement began last year.

Liu Bei's heart is known to everyone on the road.

There are many reasons why Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, the main ones are as follows:
First, age is not forgiving, and Liu Bei is already in his sixties.The sympathetic rival Cao Cao has been buried in the 72 Qimen Tomb Escape Formation. If he doesn't proclaim himself emperor at this moment, he will have no chance of proclaiming himself emperor.

Second, Cao Pi usurped and killed the Han Dynasty, annihilating the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was gone.There is no emperor today, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty is gone.

The Han Dynasty has perished, and it can only inherit the work of the two ancestors of the Han Dynasty (Liu Bang and Liu Xiu) and build the Han Dynasty three times.

Thirdly, becoming emperor brings infamy. Instead of letting his son bear the infamy, it would be better for him to take over it while he is still alive.

Fourth, it is also a political necessity. If the King of Wei proclaims himself emperor, then he, the King of Hanzhong, must proclaim himself emperor. This is required for the equality of power.

but
It is necessary to be proclaimed emperor, but it cannot be said that proclaiming emperor is the same as proclaiming emperor.

Even Cao Pi had to make three concessions, and Liu Bei naturally had to have a corresponding ceremony.

"This is very good!"

Zhuge Liang immediately stood up and said: "We will jointly sign the petition first. If your Majesty does not agree, we will talk about other things."

This other.

Of course it has a lot of meaning.

After everyone gathered their names, they decided to sign first and then went to the lobby of the Prince's Mansion to ask the other officials to sign their names to persuade them to enter.

Taifu Xu Jing, Anhan General Mi Zhu, Military Advisor General Zhuge Liang, Taichang Lai Gong, Guang Luxun Huang Zhu, and Shaofu Wang Mou.
A group of ministers first put forward a form of persuasion.

There is no doubt that this persuasion was rejected by Liu Bei on the same day.

Although no, no one was punished.

Now, everyone knew what Liu Bei was thinking.

Four words: Increase your efforts!

Ever since, those who were interested immediately started to create auspiciousness.

Within half a month, people from all over the country reported the appearance of auspicious yellow phoenix energy, colorful clouds and red phoenixes. They also said that the jade seal of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was found in the Han River.

The auspicious auspiciousness of the emperor often appears in the southwest direction.

The implication is simple: Your Majesty, please proclaim yourself emperor. This is God’s will!

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many horoscope classics derived from "He Tu" and "Luo Shu", all of which were about divination and prediction, about 48 kinds.

The hard work paid off, and everyone found some evidence from these classics that God predicted that Liu Bei would become emperor.

The most convincing one is "Luoshu Zhen Yaodu": "On the third day of the Red Day, virtue will be prosperous, and the nine generations will be prepared, and they will become the emperor."

That is to say, a dynasty with fire virtue and luck must experience three times of prosperity. After several generations, a person named "Bei" will become the emperor. "

With this east wind, Yilang Yangquan Hou Liu Bao, Qingyi Hou Xiangju, partial generals Zhang Yi, Huang Quan, Da Sima Yin Chun, Yizhou Biejia engaged in Zhao Chu, Zhizhong engaged in Yang Hong, engaged in sacrificial wine He Zong, Yi Cao Du Qiong, who was engaged in the study, Zhang Shuang, Yin Mo, Qiao Zhou, who were engaged in encouraging students to learn, etc. all came forward to say:

"I heard that the River Map, the Book of Luo, and the prophecies and wefts of the Five Classics were selected by Confucius, and they should be verified from afar. Zhen Yao of the Book of Luo, who is here to record, said: 'Red will be prosperous for three days, and nine generations will prepare for it, and it will become the emperor's realm.' May the king be obedient to heaven and obey the people, and may the cause be prosperous and peaceful within the sea."

Now that the auspicious auspiciousness and legal principles have been established, Your Majesty, please proclaim yourself emperor and ascend the throne!

However.
Liu Bei still refused.

Not once.

Not twice.

As a result, more than a hundred ministers came forward to persuade him to advance.

There were no twists and turns, and Liu Bei refused again.

But these three refusals did not deter these officials who tried to persuade him to come forward.

February 26, the [-]th year of Jian'an.

Fazheng, Zhuge Liang, and Ma Chao, together with more than 800 officials, jointly submitted a letter to persuade them to join, and more than 800 people came to the palace together.

The letter said: "Cao Pi usurped and killed, annihilated the Han Dynasty, stole artifacts, robbed loyal people, and was ruthless and cruel. People and ghosts are angry and poisonous, and they miss the Liu family.

There is no emperor in the world today, and the sea is filled with panic and confusion.More than [-] people wrote letters to the group, saying that they described Fu Rui, diagrams, and prophecies.Huanglong saw Chishui in Wuyang and left in nine days
King Fu Wei came from Emperor Xiaojing's Zhongshan King Jing, and his family has been born for hundreds of generations. He only descended to Zuo.

Examine the spiritual pictures and enlighten the prophecies and latitudes. They are the manifestations of the gods and their names are clear.It is appropriate to assume the throne of the emperor, to compile the second ancestor, and to succeed Zhaomu, and the world is very lucky. "

This time, Liu Bei did not refuse.

In April of the 26th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei, the emperor, was located south of Wudan in Chengdu.

The text says:
"On Bingwu in April of the 26th year of Jian'an, the emperor prepared to use Xuan Mu to tell the emperor, heaven, god, queen and earth gods: Han has the world, and it has no boundaries.
Cao Zi Pi, carrying out his evil rebellion, stole the artifact and said, "The destiny of heaven must not be ignored, the ancestral inheritance cannot be replaced for a long time, and the world cannot be left without its owner."
Afraid of the fate of the day, and fearing that the Han Dynasty generals will be buried in the ground, I would like to choose the first day to go to the altar with Bailiao and receive the emperor's seal and ribbon.Repair the burnt body and report it to the gods, but the gods will live in the Han family and live forever in the world! "

In the summer and April of the first year of Zhangwu, there was a general amnesty and the year was changed.

Zhuge Liang was appointed Prime Minister and Xu Jing was appointed Situ.Set up hundreds of officials, set up ancestral temples, and offer sacrifices to the emperor and below.

Liu Bei, the King of Hanzhong, at this moment, became Liu Bei, the Emperor of Han.

From a man who weaved mats and sold shoes to becoming the monarch of a country, Liu Bei's story is indeed inspiring.

Liu Bei, who became the emperor, was not satisfied with his ambitions.

He has only one thought in his mind now:
While he is still alive, take all the infamy on yourself.

The important task of this Sanxing man is me!
give it to you.

Prince!
