Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 91 Lu Bu's Spring

Although Liu Xie smiled, it was actually a bit difficult.After all, the pretentiousness just now seemed to be beautiful, but in essence it was more like a child playing tricks, exposing his trump card to the courtiers.

However, he had to do that.Moreover, it was deliberately chosen at a time when others had no warning.

Because, only in this way, can he unexpectedly stop the atmosphere in the court that makes him unable to express his ambition.These scholar-bureaucrats all think too highly of themselves.Even, they didn't even realize how Dong Zhuo died, and they accepted this fait accompli with all their heart, and began to share the fruit swaggeringly.

Huang Wan's unintentional words were actually the manifestation of these people's inner thoughts.They don't judge heroes by credit, but only show their existence by character.Even, they ignored Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and wanted to start a mode of rhetoric that would never stop and never solve problems in the Han Dynasty.

Wang Yun also belongs to this type of person, strictly speaking, he is more hateful than this kind of person.On the surface, he used retreat as an advance, and praised Liu Xie, but he was just paving the way for his own plans.He knew what Lu Buna and the others did last night, and that he broke into Heiwu privately and disregarded the king's order, but he deliberately ignored the misinterpretation with his spring and autumn rhetoric.Although Liu Xie didn't know what Wang Yun wanted, this was by no means an act of loyalty and respect.

Therefore, Liu Xie had to play his trump card when these people were complacent and unprepared, and scolded or even humiliated these ministers, so that they could see clearly who was the protagonist in the court.In order to establish and consolidate their own prestige, completely cut off the wishful thinking of those pedantic and arrogant courtiers and dispel their so-called hypocrisy of celebrities and nobles, and treat themselves with at least an equal attitude.

After such actions, the outcome naturally achieved what Liu Xie expected.But the price was not small. After Liu Xie played this hole card, he exposed himself to the opposite of these scholar-bureaucrats, forcing him to use his own imperial power to fight against these scholar-bureaucrats who shared the power.Such a style of famous swords and real guns is undoubtedly the lowest and most passive level among the emperor's arts.

But having said that, it is not easy to do this.After all, Liu Xie's age and the era he lived in did not allow him to be as swaying as a real emperor in power, advancing and retreating freely.The imperial courts of all dynasties in China, before entering the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the autocratic monarchy had not yet reached the peak of such abnormalities.At this time, Liu Xie was only the emperor in name, and he still needed to "follow God's will" to do anything - at least, it was the "God's will" approved by these courtiers.

"Situ, since General Lu has meritorious service, I don't want to say more, but I don't know how Situ wants to reward General Lu?" challenge.

However, the scene that stunned Liu Xie the most appeared.After Wang Yun heard Liu Xie's questioning, the expression on his face was beyond words to describe, but after several changes, he actually had the determination to assassinate Qin, and said: "Your Majesty, General Lu has worked so hard, it is already extraordinary. Rewards can show the imperial court's grace. If you follow the old minister's opinion, you can advance Lu Bu to the title of General Fenwu, Jiajie, Third Division of Yitong, and Marquis of Jiawen, and participate in the government with the three princes and ministers!"

With a 'wow' sound, the whole court was completely exploded.Those Han officials no longer had a trace of dignity to speak of, and they all started to discuss inexplicably angrily.The sarcastic and provocative words did not care about Wang Yun's ears at all, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation.Even Huang Wan, the school lieutenant of Sili who conspired with Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo, opened his mouth wide, surprised that Wang Yun would give such a high reward to Lu Bu, who "killed his father".

At this time, Liu Xie was also laughed angrily by Wang Yun. He looked at the shocked Lv Bu in the corner of the hall, and he clearly saw that Lv Bu himself was stunned by the sudden honor.However, after the absurd and funny feeling in his heart, he was followed by uncontrollable embarrassment - because the reward Wang Yun proposed to Lu Bu was too high!
First of all, General Fenwu—As mentioned earlier, the generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty had great power and prominent status, so the court not only did not easily grant generals with heavy titles, but also generals with miscellaneous titles.But Wang Yun just gave Lu Bu the title of "Fenwu" and promoted him to the rank of general, one head higher than all the current Zhonglang generals in the court.

Secondly, the false festival—the talisman festival bestowed on behalf of the emperor. After that, Lu Bu had the power to supervise the entire army, and he had the power to kill those who violated the military law first and then act later.

In addition, the three divisions of Yitong—the "three divisions" refer to the "three princes" such as Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong.Lu Bu is just a warrior, so he can't be a Sangong.But Wang Yun actually came up with a workaround, it doesn’t matter if he can’t be, he can be ‘Yitong Sansi’, that is, the official position, power, office organization and subordinate officials are all the same as Sangong, according to Liu Xie’s previous life, it’s called enjoying the Sangong rank treatment.

Finally, the Marquis of Wen——Before Cao Cao violated the rule and became the Duke of Wei, the Marquis was the highest title an official could confer.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were three levels of Marquis: County Marquis, Township Marquis, and Ting Marquis, among which County Marquis was the highest, Township Marquis was second, and Ting Marquis was the lowest.What level of Marquis is Marquis Wen?It is the county marquis, that is, the highest rank among the highest titles, which is much higher than Guan Yu's later "Han Shouting Marquis".

In addition, Liu Xie also knew that this "Marquis of Wen" was originally the title that Dong Zhuo planned to confer on Wang Yun, but now Wang Yun actually gave it to Lu Bu.

These four rewards can be said to be unmatched. In history, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun gave him such a high reward, and even gave him his title of Marquis Wen.But now, Lu Bu didn't kill Dong Zhuo at all, and before Wang Yun said this, he had gone through a psychological struggle and was obviously helpless, it was by no means as simple as that.

Of course, Liu Xie would not be angry if it was only Wang Yun who gave Lu Bu such a ridiculously high standard of reward.What really made Liu Xie angry was that Wang Yun completely pushed Liu Xie to the opposite side of Lu Bu!After all, he, Situ Wangyun, put forward such a suggestion, no matter how much the officials objected in the end, he still had to be vetoed by Liu Xie in the end.In this way, Lu Bu will no longer have the possibility of being loyal to the Han family, and will only stand on his side with Wang Yun!
Such actions can be described as sinister and vicious.At this moment, Liu Xie suddenly had an uncontrollable murderous aura, and he hated Wang Yun deeply!

But just when this murderous intent was brewing, Liu Xie glanced at Wang Yun with great difficulty.It was this look that made the murderous aura in Liu Xie's heart freeze immediately, only turning into an indescribable astonishment.Because at this moment, many loyal ministers of Shangqing had jumped out and almost scolded Wang Yun bloody.However, Wang Yun was just like a man made of iron, standing blankly above the court hall, his eyes full of sorrowful and hesitant expectations, his silver beard and hair seemed to be pale and haggard amidst the vicious words from the crowd.

At this moment, Liu Xie suddenly saw from Wang Yun a kind of tragic and heroic feeling that he would rather bear the eternal infamy than bear the eternal infamy.

Such a strange feeling made Liu Xie struggle to suppress the anger in his heart, not daring to make rash judgments based on his own likes and dislikes.He suddenly looked around the entire imperial court, sincerely hoping to find someone who could share his worries and doubts with him, so that he could get rid of the many obstacles in the court hall and see the real scene behind the scenes clearly.

However, as before, he got nothing at all.

At this moment, the court has returned to the kind of noise that he least wants to see, where there are only arguments and refutations, but they can never solve the problem.At this moment, all he can do is one very sad choice.

But just when he was about to announce that the matter was put on hold for another day, Zhong Yao, the servant of the Huangmen outside the main hall, suddenly entered the hall and said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, General Huangfu and General Zhu have returned under orders and ask to see you."

According to the Han system, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun, as Zhonglang generals, are qualified to be counselors at court meetings.However, the identities of these two people are a bit embarrassing. Although the two of them clearly called out last night that they are Han Zhonglang generals, the problem is that Huangfu Song's Zhong Lang general is Cai Yong's official position, and the golden seal is actually Liu Xie. As for Zhu Jun, he was even more embarrassing. Although he was conscripted into the court by Dong Zhuo, he raised an insurgent army in Zhongmu. In name, at this time, he was actually a white man. .Therefore, the two of them needed Zhong Yao, the master of the reception room, to come to report and ask for instructions.

However, this is only a formality.The prestige of these two people was enough to make the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty put down their criticism of Wang Yun and waited for Liu Xie's reply.

And Liu Xie looked at Zhong Yao's frowning face, and already had a premonition: it's not a good time for these two people to come back now...
