Lu Dynasty

Chapter 321 Yuan Shu Proclaims Emperor
Yuan Shu led [-] elites to chase after Sun Ce's [-] remnants, but he ran away.Yuan Shu was very suffocated, he returned to his mansion, he was not happy to see anything, so he picked up the teacups and ornaments in the hall and started smashing them.None of the servants dared to persuade Yuan Shu when they saw Yuan Shu getting angry. Even Yuan Shu's wife, Feng Shi, cowered and hid in the room, fearing that if she was not careful, she would make Yuan Shu angry again.

Yuan Shu was smashing and smashing in the hall, when he suddenly saw the Chuan Guo Yuxi box on the table, he immediately snatched the box in his hands, and just about to smash it on the ground, a flash of light flashed in Yuan Shu's mind.Yuan Shu looked at the box of the Chuanguo Jade Seal in Chen Fang's hand and thought, "Everyone knows that the Chuanguo Jade Seal was carved by He's Bi, and they all know that it is priceless.But those who have really played with it, except for the emperors of the past dynasties and the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, other people have at most seen it from a distance.This box was indeed originally Chen Fang's Chuan Guo Yuxi, could it be that the Chuan Guo Yuxi had been lost long ago, and the one used by Emperor Ling was also fake?
When Yuan Shu thought about it this way, he felt that it was reasonable for Sun Ce to say that he did not have Yuxi.He opened the box and took out the Chuanguo jade seal and played with it carefully. Yuan Shu found that the material of this fake jade seal was still good, and it was not something that people like Sun Ce could get.The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this jade seal might have been imitated by Emperor Ling or earlier emperors, because only they could imitate it so similarly.Moreover, the Han Dynasty had been in turmoil many times. Who can be sure that the jade seal in the hands of the Twelve Emperors of the previous dynasty is real?There will never be a minister who goes to the emperor and asks him: "Your Majesty, I want to see if your imperial jade seal is real!" If there is such a minister, his name should be immortalized long ago.The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the happier he was. He slapped the table and made the most stupid and idiotic decision in his life, proclaiming himself emperor!

Now that he decided to proclaim himself emperor, Yuan Shu naturally had to make preparations, at least his own generals and advisers had to agree.So he summoned all the generals and counselors under his command to discuss the matter of proclaiming emperor.When everyone came together, Yuan Shu asked: "Everyone, I have enough food and supplies for Huainan soldiers. What do you think about our future development?"

Everyone under Yuan Shu's command was dumbfounded by Yuan Shu's question. Yuan Huan is Yuan Shu's brother. He stood up and asked, "I don't know what the master said. What does my Huainan soldiers have to do with the future development? Please also ask the master express!"

"I didn't understand what I said!" Yuan Shu said with a smile: "In the past, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was just a pavilion chief in Surabaya. With this status, he has won the world for [-] years. Now the world is in chaos, it should be the fate of the Han Dynasty. The time has come. I, the fourth generation and third son of the Yuan family, are expected by all the people. I should obey the destiny, obey the will of the people, and become the Ninth Five-Year Honorable. What do you think?"

Yuan Shu's words caused the people under his command to be divided into two factions, some were in favor and some were against.Master Yan Xiang stood up and said, "My lord, you can't! In the past, the Zhou Dynasty accumulated merits from Houji until King Wen of Zhou owned two-thirds of the land in the world, but King Wen of Zhou was still loyal as a subject of Yin and Shang. My lord Although the family is noble, it is not as prosperous as the Zhou Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty has declined, it has not been as violent as Shang Zhou. Therefore, if the Lord wants to be emperor, it is absolutely impossible!"

"My surname Yuan comes from Chendi, and Chendi is the fiefdom of the descendants of Shun. Emperor Shun belongs to earth, and the Han Dynasty belongs to fire. Replacing fire with earth is just a way to respond to people! A long time ago, there was a prophecy saying: Han people, Dang Tu Gaoye. My name is Gonglu, which is exactly in response to this prophecy. Now I hold the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in my hand. If I don’t ascend the throne as emperor, it will be an act against the destiny. I have made up my mind, who dares to say more , I’ll kill whoever it is!” After Yuan Shu said that, who would dare to say more among those counselors?As for generals, they didn't see any danger in proclaiming themselves emperor, and they even hoped for Yuan Shu to proclaim themselves emperor.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yuan Shu assumed that everyone agreed that he was proclaiming himself emperor.He laughed and said, "Since everyone has no objection, let's choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne, and the country name is Zhongshi!" Yuan Shu's Si Tianjian chose a so-called auspicious day for Yuan Shu to become emperor.After Yuan Shu ascended the throne, he set up officials from Taiwan and other provinces, rode on dragon and phoenix chariots, and sacrificed to the northern and southern suburbs.

The news of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor reached me, and I was drinking tea, playing the piano, and discussing dancing with Cai Yan, Gao Rui, and Zhang Ning.I saw Guo Jia hurried in and said, "Yuan Shu is proclaimed the emperor!" At that time, a sip of tea came out of my mouth. Fortunately, Cai Yan and the others were far away because they were dancing just now. How embarrassing it is on them.

I looked at Guo Jia and said, "Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor when he proclaimed himself emperor. Why are you so nervous, Guo Jia? To lose your composure like this is out of character for you!"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "My lord, did you expect Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor? But the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo in his hand is a fake, so how dare he proclaim himself emperor? He is not afraid that the princes of the world will seek him out?"

"That's what the ignorant are fearless!" I said with a smile, "But that's okay, if there are more of these idiots, it will shake the majesty of the Han Dynasty, and it will be more convenient for us to do things in the future!"

Guo Jia shook his head with a smile and said, "My lord, you are really realistic! Forget it, I won't bother you and the mistresses, and I will report if I have something to do!" Guo Jia left after speaking.

Cao received the news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, but he was very angry. He managed to get Liu Xie to Xuchang, and paid so much capital, but the Han Dynasty in the damned Yuan Shu lost all majesty.In a rage, Cao summoned the civil and military forces under his command, intending to send troops to attack Yuan Shu.

Xun Yu looked very satisfied with the resentful Cao. He smiled and said, "My lord, there is no need to be like this. Why don't we ask your majesty to issue an edict and let other princes go to attack Yuan Shu. It's like Lu Feng in Chang'an and Liu Bei in Xuzhou. If they raise troops Go and attack Yuan Shu, we will take the opportunity to attack them!"

Cao Yi clapped his hands and laughed and said, "That's very good! Just do as Wen Ruo said!" After finishing speaking, Cao ordered the accounts to be disbanded and his generals to prepare to send troops, and he and Xun Yu went to Liu Xie to ask for an order to attack Yuan Shu. edict.

As soon as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu beat Liu Yao away, they received the news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor.Zhou Yu laughed and said to Sun Ce: "Brother, you are really lucky. This Yuan Shu wanted to die by himself, and we can sit firmly in Jiangdong in the future!" His words were never in doubt.

I, Cao, and Sun Ce are not the only three princes in the world, but the only ones who expressed dissatisfaction and protest against Yuan Shu's proclaiming the emperor were Liu Yan, Liu Biao and a few other clan members of the Han family. Unfortunately, although they were dissatisfied and protested, there was nothing For substantive actions, more princes are watching and waiting.
