Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 341 Yes, I just want to be emperor
Yuan Huan looked at Yuan Shu who had put on the dragon robe, and could only respond bravely: "My lord, I don't know, but when I checked the items before, I didn't see this yellow package!"

After hearing Yuan Huan's response, Yuan Shu smiled even more happily: "In this way, this dragon robe is a gift from God. It seems that God thinks that Liu's country is over and wants me, Yuan Shu, to accept this world!"

Yuan Huan was so shocked that he was sweating profusely when he saw his lord's proud look.

He had always known that his lord was disloyal, but he never expected that he would express his feelings so frankly.

"My lord, do you want to..." Before Yuan Huan finished speaking, Yuan Shu spoke first.

"That's right, I just want to be the emperor!" Yuan Shu said with a proud face: "I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, and all the noble families in the world, must have my Yuan family as the head. In what way am I, Yuan Shu, inferior to that kid Liu Bian?"

"Besides, the emperor takes turns to sit here. This year, the master of the world should also change when I come to my house."

Having said this, Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Huan: "Yao Qing, what do you think of this?"

Yuan Huan listened to Yuan Shu's words and asked with sweating profusely: "My lord, have Master Yan and Yang Changshi expressed their stance on this matter?"

"One of them opposes and the other supports, that's why I want to ask your opinion!" Yuan Shu said, then put away his smile and sat on the chair.

"After you go to Luoyang for a tour, how about I compare it with Cao Mengde?"

Looking at Yuan Shu's appearance, Yuan Huan knew that his lord must proclaim himself emperor, but it would be sooner or later.

So Yuan Huan cupped his hands and said directly: "My lord, although Cao Mengde claims to own the land of five states, he is still far inferior to my lord!"

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard this.

"It seems that destiny is mine!"

……

After seeing these rewards, other princes from all walks of life also understood that this was the intention of the emperor and the Cao family.

I have rewarded you with the things. Now as long as you obey, I will not do anything to you for the time being.

As for the future, let's talk about it later.

While the various princes were busy with their own thoughts, Cao Ang, who was far away in Luoyang, was also beginning to figure out whether he should take action against Yuan Shu next.

"Counting the days, Yuan Huan should have returned to Yangzhou. In this case, Yuan Shu should have got the dragon robe I made specially for him!"

In the original history, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor only after receiving the imperial seal.

After all, he was ordered by heaven, and no man could refuse these eight characters: longevity and longevity.

But now, since the jade seal is with Cao Ang, it is naturally impossible for him to give it away just to win over Yuan Shu.

After all, this is the national jade seal. If you lose it, then stop playing with it and just wipe it on your neck.

Fortunately, Yuan Shu's disobedience had already reached its peak.

Coupled with the dragon robe descending from the sky, it was almost time for him to proclaim himself emperor.

At that time, let Tao Qian of Xuzhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou send troops, and other princes will support them with food, grass and baggage, severely weakening their power.

Thinking of this, Cao Ang decided to let Yuan Shu wear the dragon robe for a while longer.

Now let’s start with the layout of Liangzhou.

……

Soon, a piece of news came out from Luoyang.

Liu Xie, king of Chenliu, was captured by Xiliang rebels and became a hostage.

Now, the Xiliang rebels are still shameless and try to continue to support Liu Xie as the false emperor.

In order to prevent Huanggang from losing control, Liu Bian would not recognize Liu Xie's status as emperor.

The Xiliang rebels were ordered to send people to send King Chenliu back to Luoyang. Except for a few bandit leaders, no one else would be punished.

As soon as this news came out, princes from all walks of life responded one after another.After all, in the current situation, even a fool can see that Liu Bian and the Cao family are wearing the same pants.

Nowadays, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, as long as they hold positions of real power, belong to the Cao Group.

As for the ministers from other aristocratic families, they can only deal with some trivial chores.

Fortunately, people from these aristocratic families do not compete for this.

You don’t have to work and you can still get paid, so why not?

So now the whole court is very united.

No prince can challenge the majesty of the royal family if taken alone.

The princes from all walks of life were also well aware of this matter, so they all actively responded to the royal family's call.

It's just that it's unrealistic to ask them to send troops or something.

So, Cao Ang asked someone to issue another order.

"You don't have to send troops, but now Luoyang has spent a lot of money to rebuild, so the treasury is empty now, and the princes who don't send troops will have to pay, one hundred catties of gold."

Cao Ang is opening his mouth like a lion. Among the current princes, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao are the only ones who can give out a hundred catties of gold.

Even Yuan Shu might not be able to come up with the hundred kilograms of gold.

Cao Ang also knew that it was impossible to get them to give out the one hundred kilograms of gold, but the order was given, and they had to give them as much as they could.

As for how much to give, it all depends on the individual princes.

If you give too little, you won’t be able to handle it; if you give too much, you’ll feel pain.

……

Princes from all walks of life sent envoys to Luoyang with gold.

During this period, they all complained about Cao Ang.

You gave us a bunch of useless things in exchange for a bunch of gold. Isn't this what a profiteer does?

And it’s the kind of forced buying and selling!
Yuan Shao sent someone to deliver fifty catties of gold, Tao Qian forty catties, Liu Biao forty catties, and the one with the most was Liu Yan of Yizhou, who actually sent eighty catties of gold!

However, what surprised Cao Ang the most was that Gongsun Zan actually sent someone to deliver sixty kilograms of gold.

You know, Gongsun Zan was suppressed by Yuan Shao and his life was not easy.

Sending so much gold now is a good sign to Cao Ang, which is self-evident.

Liu Yan sent so much gold, firstly, because Yizhou was rich and there was indeed money in Bashu, and secondly, Liu Zhang went back with the envoys sent by Liu Yan.

As for Yuan Shu, this guy is about to become emperor, so naturally he will not pay attention to Cao Ang and the royal family.

These were all within Cao Ang's expectations.

Yuan Shu is just a grasshopper after autumn, he can't jump around for a few days.

At the same time, Xiliang.

Li Jue and Guo Si were sitting on both sides of a hall.

And sitting at the main seat in the hall was Liu Xie.

Liu Xie looked at Li Jue and Guo Si and said helplessly: "Two generals, I think you all know the news from Luoyang."

"I am now King Chenliu, not an emperor, so it is useless for the two generals to keep me here. Why don't you send someone to send me back to Luoyang."

"When the time comes, I will definitely come forward to save both of you. How about that?"
