I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 163 Is it just a coincidence that such a kingship?

As a lobbyist, Lu Jia relied on his tongue to make ends meet.

It's just that he, like Su Qin, is lucky and has hit the dividend of the times.

Because he started to follow Liu Bang very early, Lu Jia made good friends with many middle and high-level generals. Although he didn't get in touch with the most top-level people, he knew quite a few of the top [-] generals in the Han army.

Standing up to speak out at this moment, he is naturally not acting out of emotion, in order to "strive for profit" for the familiar military faction.

Xiang Yu became king by fighting with a long halberd in his hand, which they couldn't match.

The children of the Liu clan were appointed kings by fate, and it was useless for them to be jealous.

As for Lu Wan, his relationship with Liu Bang is probably even better than the relationship between those Liu's children and Liu Bang.

Wu Rui, Ji Xin, and Ji Yu each have their own reputations accumulated in the fief, and Liu Bang needs to borrow them.

But Han Xin, as a great Han general, represents the upper limit of the military merit faction's rewards!

If he failed to become king, wouldn't it prove that no one in the military faction can be crowned king.

This is the reason why Lu Jia and Han Xin had nothing to do with each other, but jumped out to argue for Han Xin and stand up for Han Xin's interests.

What he was fighting for was not the "King of the Han Envelope", but the upper limit of rewards for the military faction.

Looking at Lu Jia who jumped out suddenly, Chen Luo observed a trace of displeasure in Liu Bang's eyes.

He looked at the indifferent Han Xin in front of him again, knowing that there would be some unpleasantness if no one else joined in to speak.

So Chen Luo took a step forward, and after bowing his hands and saluting, he tilted his head and asked, "Lu Sheng, what you said just now, are you questioning the unfairness of your majesty's award?
Your Majesty's favor is like rain and dew, which is equally distributed to all people in the world without any discrimination.

Your Majesty must keep your credit in mind. Now that General Han is not crowned king, could it be that His Majesty deliberately made things difficult for you? Wouldn’t it be General Han’s own idea? "

Having said that, Chen Luo secretly stretched out his feet and kicked Han Xin lightly.

"Yeah, yes." Han Xin came to his senses, nodded again and again, and continued following Chen Luo's words, "Jiang Ning's words are very true. It's my own idea not to be crowned king. General Zhou and General Fan know it."

Zhou Bo and Cao Shen were still hesitating, wondering whether they should continue to remain silent.

Fan Kuai didn't care that much.

Of course, it may be that I didn't think so much.

He directly expressed support: "What Jiang Ning and General Han said is correct. General Han had the idea of ​​becoming a king a few days ago, and he went to meet His Majesty with us, but it was difficult to seal him in the old place, so he gave up the reward of being king."

Zhou Bo and Cao Shen looked at each other helplessly, seeing that Fan Kui had almost explained the process, and if he pretended to be stupid, he would offend others.

So the two of them agreed: "There is indeed such a thing."

In this way, it was Lu Jia who was dumbfounded.

His statement was first dismissed by Chen Luo, and it no longer occupies the moral high ground.

Then Han Xin, Fan Kui, and Zhou Bo, the top military factions that they had no access to, came forward and agreed with the statement that "Han Xin himself does not want to be king", and even used facts to make his argument untenable.

What's more, Zhou Bo and Cao Shen showed a certain attitude when they came forward.

Originally, Lu Jia was speaking out for the middle and high-level military factions, but facing this situation, those people are also scalp numb and dare not speak out again.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Jia made a prompt decision.

He apologized and said: "Your Majesty, I just didn't see General Han being crowned king, and I was anxious for a moment, so I made such a disrespectful act. Please punish me severely!"

After saying this, Lu Jia bowed his hands to Chen Luo and Han Xin to apologize again.

As a lobbyist, debate is important, but it is even more important to have a clear understanding of the situation.

Now is not the time for debate.

If I continue to be stubborn, the situation will be expanded and escalated, and everyone will be red-faced and unable to get out of the game.

Then when he wins the debate, it is estimated that he will not be far away from the death of his head.

Therefore, he lowered his posture and resolutely confessed.

Seeing this, Liu Bang calmed down, waved his hands and said, "I don't blame Lu Shengyou for this matter. After all, those who don't know are not guilty. General Han wants to be sent back to his hometown. This is not easy to handle, so I didn't make General Han king."

Hearing what Liu Bang said, Lu Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief, retreated to his seat, bowed his head and said nothing.

Even if today's events are recorded, and people will hate him in the future, it is a big deal for me to be cautious in my words and deeds, and not give others excuses.

It's better than being unlucky at the ceremony right now.

From the start to the end of such a "farce", many people took the opportunity to figure out something.

The princes and kings conferred by the great Han Dynasty are regular.

For every prince with a different surname, there must be a prince of the Liu family.

Xiang Yu's Chu State was bordered by Liu Jiao's Jing State and Liu Fei's Qi State.

Wu Rui's Changsha Kingdom is also bordered by Liu Jiao's Jing Kingdom.

Ji Yu and Ji Xin's Wei and Han countries are on the side of Liu Xi's generation country.

Even Lu Wan, who is most trusted by Liu Bang, his country of Yan borders on the country of Qi.

And a more crucial point.

It is these five princes and kings with different surnames, and their fiefdoms do not have any borders with each other!
People who think about these conclusions feel inexplicably cold in their hearts.

Is it just a coincidence to be crowned king in this way?

Does Your Majesty, who is smiling pleasantly above us, really believe in us heroes without reservation?

If the answer is no, is being crowned king really the supreme glory, rather than the death knell of death?

In an instant, the eyes of many people looking at Han Xin changed.

What a great general, he seems to have no insight into the political situation on weekdays, but he is so wise and stupid!
It’s just that after thinking about it, they still couldn’t accept such earth-shaking changes in Han Xin. Even though they didn’t have much contact with Han Xin on weekdays and didn’t know much about it, when His Majesty held meetings other than military operations, his sleepy eyes would never be faked.

Therefore, Han Xinna's decision to refuse to crack the earth and seal the king was definitely guided by an expert.

So everyone's eyes drifted away for a while, and finally gradually converged, looking at the back of a person surnamed Chen.

That's right, it must be your plan!
Sensing countless eyes looking at him, Chen Luo blinked innocently, without any intention of explaining himself.

I have an alibi!
When Han Xin went to meet Liu Bang and refused to be crowned king, I was in Xianyang and Princess Le... I was on vacation in Xianyang.

After all, admitting that Han Xin's choice was instigated by himself, he would be resented by many middle-level "military meritorious factions", and those rough people are not so easy to talk to.

Now I don't say anything, but I'm honest.

After this period of time, those people will definitely investigate his whereabouts in the past few days in private. It is estimated that they will automatically eliminate their suspicion if they find out that they have gone to Xianyang.

As for Han Xin, forgive these military factions for not daring to blame him.

Chen Luo let go of the distracting thoughts in his heart, and saw Liu Bang pick up another volume of much thicker silk book.

Obviously, what is recorded on it is the list of great Han princes.
