Lu Dynasty

Chapter 787
Auspiciousness is a mysterious halo that the rulers of the past dynasties added to themselves. If you talk about things like Ganoderma lucidum with a thousand years and Shouwu with thousands of years, you can find a lot in the Han Dynasty.After all, plants predate human beings. Who knew that Shouwu and Ganoderma lucidum appeared tens of thousands of years ago?Although the Han Dynasty is not as vast as the later generations, the degree of development is far less than that of the later generations.Unexpectedly, there are fierce beasts like tigers living on the mountain next to Luoyang.With tigers, ordinary people dare not enter, and some precious geniuses and land treasures can be preserved, otherwise they would have been picked away long ago.That's why some people in the world say: wherever there are geniuses and treasures, there must be guarded by beasts and birds of prey.But when it comes to dragons and phoenixes, the ancients were ignorant, and they regarded some giant pythons and mutated pheasants as strange beasts without knowing them. In fact, they were just genetic mutations.

As people go to later generations, people understand these things more and more, and some things that the ancients thought were strange gradually become normal, and dragons and phoenixes have become legends.If the yellow dragons and black dragons recorded in ancient books are real, they are just a kind of python.You know, since ancient times, how many species have died out because of human beings' unreasonable hunting and reclaiming wasteland.Perhaps dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns really existed in ancient times, but they are not what people can see today. Just like dinosaurs, modern people can only guess their appearance through their bones. Anyone who says he saw a dinosaur will probably be regarded as an idiot .Of course, there are also many people who can provide evidence such as photos, but all of them are vague or have only a shadow.Maybe it's the reason why modern technology can't reach it!However, the ministers who have never talked nonsense suddenly started to study auspiciousness, which is a bit puzzling.

"Prime Minister, there are auspicious signs in all five states of the world. I don't know why the Prime Minister thinks it is?" Liu Bian looked at me with a smile and said, "Please teach me the Prime Minister!"

"Damn it!" I cursed in my heart, "If others say these things to me, I'll be pissed off. What kind of auspiciousness, it's all the ruler's tricks to fool the people. If you want to fool the people, go fool the people. Take this Isn't it an idiot to plant something to fool me? You can't slap a horse's hoof when you flatter me. You know I don't like it and still do it. You don't mean to be against me, or you want to tear me down!" I was unhappy, but my mouth But I can't say that. Although I am the ruler of Luoyang, I have to take care of Liu Bian's face both in public and in private. I was tolerant, so I was a little displeased, but I still respectfully replied: "Auspiciousness descended from the sky, it is a sign to protect my great man's prosperity, I congratulate Your Majesty!"

"No!" Liu Bian froze me as soon as he opened his mouth, and he actually refuted my words.If I'm wrong, it's not a problem to refute, but it's puzzling that he also refuted what I said was a polite remark.Just when I was about to ask, Liu Bian said with a smile: "The auspiciousness descended from heaven is indeed a sign to protect the prosperity of the great man, but this auspiciousness does not come sooner or later, and it happens when the prime minister is better than Liaodong. It shows that auspiciousness is a sign that my big man has a loyal and good minister! I don’t need to say too much, everyone should know who this loyal and good minister is!”

It turned out that he was waiting for me here. Looking at Liu Bian, I understood a little.If you want to praise me, just say it straight, why do you do so many things, and promote feudal superstition!I cupped my hands and said: "Your Majesty has won the award, and I am terrified!" Since Liu Bian made a battle to praise me, I don't want to be too unkind, so naturally I have to be humble.

My modesty seems to have fallen into Liu Bian's trap. He said loudly: "Since ancient times, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and those who have done wrong must be punished. He is a wise king. The prime minister has worked hard and made great achievements. If I don't reward, how can I convince the public? Come! Proclaim the decree! "

I thought it was just a verbal commendation, but I didn't expect to announce the decree.You know, I am already the Duke of Qin and also the prime minister, so even if I want to reward, I can only reward some property!Reward me with my money, I looked at Liu Bian with black lines.However, although Liu Bian is a half-puppet, he is the emperor anyway, and he will give him some face if he wants to reward him.I saw a small yellow door holding an imperial decree in his hand and said: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty said: Prime Minister Lu Feng has been assisting the emperor since Dong Zhuo's rebellion. He worked hard and went to the battlefield in person to overcome the raging soldiers of Goguryeo with the majestic teacher of the emperor. It was decided in the first battle to restore the homeland of Liaodong. The eldest son, Lu Heng, is the prince's son! I respect you!"

After Liu Bian's will, I was stupid at that time!At the beginning, when I became the Duke, people all over the world looked at me.Historically, Cao Fenggong and Fengwang had huge resistance, and even his two most trusted advisers, Xun You and Xun Yu, died on it.But it seems very easy for me to become a duke and a king, even I don't know it.Looking at the proud Liu Bian, I hurriedly declined and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness, but Gaozu once said: You can't be a Marquis unless you have meritorious service, and you can't be a king unless you have the Liu family! Although I have made great achievements, Your Majesty treats me like a duke to the extreme , If I am a king, outsiders will think that I have the intention of usurping, wouldn't I have failed His Majesty's kindness? Therefore, I dare not accept the matter of King Qin!"

Liu Bian didn't expect me to accept it once. It was only after three decrees that I was made a duke before I reluctantly accepted it.Now that I am crowned king, I do not accept it, as early as he expected.Originally, Liu Bian wanted to directly issue three imperial edicts to me like Duke Feng did, but Guo Jia told him that it was useless and had to be put on hold for a while.And during this period, it is necessary to mobilize the eunuchs and assassins from all over the country to write books and go back and forth three times. If I refuse again, I will take the position on the grounds that I have chilled the hearts of all the officials in the world. Only in this way can I be crowned king smoothly!
Guo Jia and Jia Xu are the most respected people besides me in Luoyang. Everyone admires them, including me.As the saying goes: Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.If there are three Zhuge Liang, what is the concept?The talents of Guo Jia and Jia Xu are by no means inferior to Zhuge Liang, and the ministers of Luoyang are not much less than Zhuge Liang, even if they are close.Such a group of people plot against me, even if I am reborn as Sun Wu, Jiang Shang, and Zhang Liang, what can I do?More than a month passed, and under the strong coercion of Liu Bian and all civil and military officials, I had no choice but to be named the King of Qin and set up a government office to manage affairs.The matter of Liao Dongguan has not yet subsided, and the matter of becoming king has resumed.No one in the world thinks that I am called king, but that I forced Liu Bian to make me king.When the intelligence department handed me the news of the anger of the princes, I really wanted to shout out my innocence!
