The last three kingdoms

Chapter 248

"Those who replace the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye!"

In Qiao Zhou's mansion, Qiao Zhou, who was over sixty years old, stood among a group of civil servants, preaching in a hoarse voice, and his gray beard trembled up and down due to excitement.

This can't help but excite Qiao Zhou. Yizhou's local faction has been suppressed for a long time, and today they finally have a chance to stand up. Zhou Shu, Du Qiong, Du Wei, Zhou Qun, Peng Yang, and Yin Mo have all passed away. Qiao Zhou waited for this day.

Surrounding him were his sons Qiao Xi, Qiao Xian, Qiao Tong, Zhou Qun's son Zhou Ju, an admonishing doctor, Xu Jing's grandson Shangshu Xu You, Yin Mo's son Dr. Yin Zong, Shang Shulang Li Hu and other Yizhou natives. The powerful young faction listened attentively.

"What is Dangtu high? Wei Que also, Dangtu is high, and the sage takes his class as the ear." Qiao Zhou explained eloquently. Of course, these are not his original words. This is Qiao Zhou's teacher Du Qiong, a great scholar in Yizhou. what was said.

Dang Tu Gao in the Han Dynasty is a long-popular prophecy. According to legend, it was said by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Huainan, and he borrowed this prophecy. The "Tu De" of the "Huo De" in the Han Dynasty; he is also known as Shu, and the word is Gonglu, which corresponds to this prophecy.That's why Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor brazenly, but in the end he was extravagant and desperate, and he died within two years.

Cao Pi usurped the Han and established the Wei, so he naturally wanted to put this on his head, so the one who replaced the Han was Wei Ye.As for why it is Wei, Cao Wei did not come out to explain it, but Du Qiong from Yizhou gave it a detailed explanation: Wei, the name of the que!Outside the palace gates of the emperor and princes, and on both sides of the road, there is a pair of tall buildings called "que".Because they are tall, burly and majestic, they are also called "Wei" or "Wei Que".The two sides below Wei Que are the places where government orders are hung, so it is also called "Xiang Wei".Therefore, Wei Que or Xiang Wei became synonymous with the imperial court.For example, in the "Ranging the King" chapter of "Zhuangzi", it is said that those who live among the people but do not forget the court are "above the river and sea, and their hearts are under Wei Que".Wei Que or Xiang Wei, who are both right on the road and tall and burly, isn't it out-and-out "high on the road"?
At that time, Qiao Zhou went to ask for advice with an open mind. Du Qiong further said that the ancient government offices were never called Cao. Since the Han Dynasty, they have been renamed Cao. Isn't this God's will?
Qiao Zhou suddenly realized, and carried forward this theory, and even made a fuss about the names of Liu Bei and his son.He said that the first master should prepare the teaching tools, and the second master should avoid Zen, and the training tools should be given to others.The name of the first master was Bei, which means enough, and the name of the second master was Chan, which means abdication. Together, it means that the emperor is enough, and he will give up in this generation.

Not only that, but in the fifth year of Jingyao, a big tree in the palace was broken for no reason, and Qiao Zhou pasted a note on the big tree that read "The crowd is big, and the meeting is expected; if you teach it, how can you restore it?" , openly preaching the idea of ​​surrender.

The Yizhou Party has always been hostile to foreign forces. Liu Yan and Liu Zhang are the same, and so are the two emperors Liu Bei and Liu Chan. Zhou Shu and Du Qiong are their main representatives. Later, Qiao Zhou took over the flag from them and publicly publicized The theory of surrender, due to Qiao Zhou's status and prestige, no one seems to pursue his "reactionary remarks", so Qiao Zhou became more and more arrogant, and he seemed to be the leader who defeated Shu and surrendered Wei.

The so-called Dang Tu Gao, the so-called Cao Shicao, and the so-called preparedness and training are just public opinion methods concocted by them to confuse people's hearts. When Qiao Zhou said this, everyone who listened deeply thought that Of course.

Qiao Zhou continued: "This is God's will, and God's will must not be violated. Now Wei and Wu's troops are suppressing the border, and Wei's power is far above Wu. Wei can swallow Wu, but Wu cannot swallow Wei. What is placed in front of us Ji Han , Only when we descend to Wei, can we go up to protect the ancestral temple and go down to Anli Shu, otherwise, all jades and stones will be burned, and all lives will be burnt, all the crimes of our generation."

Zhou Ju got up and bowed: "It is the good fortune of the people of Yizhou that the teacher is concerned about the country and the people. We want to follow the teacher's lead and obey."

Qiao Xi, the eldest son of Qiao Zhou, is now engaged in official worship and persuasion, and he said with a little worry: "Although my father's action is righteous, he may be criticized by villains, thinking that he betrayed his master for glory. once."

Qiao Zhou Fuxu said happily: "As a father, but for the people of the country, personal honor and disgrace are nothing to worry about. Even if you surrender to Wei, as a father, you will never worship Wei Jue."

Li Hu bowed and said: "Doctor Qiao is a high-minded and honest man, he is really a role model for us."

Xu Youdao: "There may be different voices in the court. Some people must suggest moving the capital to Nanzhong and resist."

Qiao Zhou snorted coldly and said: "Whoever dares to say that the capital is moved to Nanzhong must be someone who harms the country and harms the people. In the barbaric land of Nanzhong, the smog and plague are rampant, and they are also people who have long opposed the Nanman. Since Marquis Wu , has repeatedly betrayed the court, and his heart is unpredictable. If he votes now, he will surely face catastrophe. What's more, the journey is difficult and dangerous, how can the people bear it? I believe that His Majesty will not accept such a waste of money and money. I will fight with reason and never let the people of Yizhou suffer."

Liu Chan has not gone to court for many days, but today he has to go to court, the army of Wei and Wu is imminent, even if Liu Chan wants to avoid it, he can't dodge it.

Last night, Liu Chan stayed up all night. The Shuhan Dynasty was facing such a huge crisis, and Liu Chan really couldn't sleep. It seems that he, the emperor, is really coming to an end.

Last night, Huang Hao talked with him for a long time, persuading him to surrender to Wu. Huang Hao is fickle and said that the current situation is extremely serious. If Liu Chan does not make up his mind to surrender soon, the whole of Chengdu will surely fall. By then, I am afraid that there is really no place to die.If you surrender, you can save Liu's ancestral temple and the lives of your whole family.

As for whether to surrender to Wei or to surrender to Wu, Huang Hao advised him to choose Wu. After all, Wu and Shu Han are long-term allies. , Lord Wu has agreed to make Liu Chan king, retain a county fief, and still be able to live a happy and carefree life.Wei is the enemy. The Han bandits have vowed to be incompatible since ancient times. If you surrender to Wei, you will definitely not be treated as well as surrender to Wu.

Liu Chan was restless, and after a night of panic, he went to the temple with bloodshot eyes at the fifth watch of the day.
