Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 121 The Prime Minister
After traveling day and night, he finally returned to Xuchang. Xu Maogong led the crowd to welcome Li Song back to Tiance Mansion.

"Recently, have Dong Cheng and the others made any progress? When are you going to do it?" Li Song picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and was fair to Xu Mao.

Xu Maogong naturally understood what Li Song was referring to when he said hands, lightly shook the feather fan, and said with a slight smile.

"Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others often go back and forth to conspire! It's just Cao Cao and Liu Bei, one of them has no other activities except going back and forth between Tingwei and Cao's mansion, and the other is planting some vegetables or flowers in the backyard of his house and doing nothing. "

"Furthermore, Dong Cheng and the others plan to take action in the near future, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei have not made any movement. They are afraid that they will be alone, so they will not make any moves for the time being."

After Xu Maogong finished speaking, Li Song naturally understood that people like Cao Cao and Liu Bei had thought about all aspects of the situation, and even prepared the way out. Their wisdom is not comparable to that of Dong Cheng and Wang Zifu. of.

"Just keep watching! You don't need to do anything to Dong Cheng and others now. Dong Cheng and others are just small shrimps. Cao Cao and Liu Bei are the real big fish. Keep an eye on them and don't let them slip away." Li Song said.

"Promise!" Xu Maogong took the order.

"We have to find a way to help them, otherwise we don't know how long it will take. I don't have time to waste it." Li Song knocked on the table and said.

"My lord's southern expedition solved the threat to Xuchang from the south, and took down Wancheng without bloodshed. The contribution is indispensable, and it should be another one." Xu Mao said fairly.

"Oh!" Li Song looked at Xu Maogong with a smile, "I am now a general, what position can I reach?"

The two looked at each other and knew that the other party had understood what they meant. Xu Mao said fairly: "Prime Minister! The position of prime minister has been vacant for a long time. It's time to choose a capable person to be the prime minister to help the emperor, the prime minister and all the officials." .”

"Maogong, do you think I am suitable to be the prime minister?" Li Song laughed.

"My lord's words are wrong! I don't think it's suitable, but I can take up the post of prime minister with my lord's ability." Xu Mao said fairly.

"Tomorrow morning, I will be named as the son of heaven, and the lord will be appointed as the prime minister. I think the chariot general Dong Cheng, Yueqi school captain, Pian general Wang Zifu and others will be overjoyed!"

"Haha!" Li Song laughed, ecstatically fart, it would be good if he didn't fight me hard on the spot, and he was ecstatic.

Provoking them is the first step.

"By the way! Before that, we must get Jia Xu out of Xuchang. With him here, I'm afraid it will spoil my affairs!" Li Song said.

Jia Xu, a poisonous man, is not a person who has made a name for himself. If he is left in Xuchang, he might be troubled if he is stabbed in the back. As for Zhang Xiu, Li Song really doesn't pay much attention to him.

"My lord! Tomorrow, I can ask the emperor to send Jia Xu to Jizhou. Firstly, he can be dismissed, and secondly, he can warn Yuan Shao." Xu Maogong immediately offered advice.

"Okay!" Li Song said, got up and left, Xu Maogong looked at Li Song's leaving figure, shook his head, and went back to the house.

In the early morning of the next day, after all the officials paid homage to the emperor, Li Song went out and clasped his hands and said, "I am ordered to march into Wancheng without bloodshed, without costing a single soldier, to take down Wancheng, recover Nanyang County, and capture [-] enemies."

"Aiqing made such a great contribution! I am very happy." Liu Xie said.

"I don't dare to claim credit for everything I have done, upholding the majesty of the sky, serving the common people, helping the Han family!" Li Song said.

"Okay, Aiqing captured Shouchun in one fell swoop, defeated the traitor Yuan Shu, and this time put down the chaos in Wancheng and regained Nanyang County. Aiqing's contribution is indispensable. I will reward Aiqing heavily!" Liu Xie said.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I will invite you to confer the title of Great General as the Prime Minister of the court! The Prime Minister Enzhun praises you but goes to the palace with your sword." As soon as Liu Xie finished speaking, Liu Bowen, Xu Maogong, Pei Yuanqing and other Li Song's subordinates, Zhong Yao, Dong Zhao and other officials who were close to Li Song hurried out of the line and knelt down to worship.

Emperor Liu Xie, Cheqi General Dong Cheng, Yueqi Xiaowei, Pianjun Wang Zifu and others were furious in their hearts!But he could only force his face to smile, and he couldn't show any complaints.

"My loves are right! With Li Aiqing's merits, she deserves to be the prime minister of the imperial court and such an honor." Liu Xieqiang said with a smile, "Listen to the order!"

"I canonized the great general Li Song as the prime minister of the imperial court, and added [-] lands with a population of [-] households. From then on, the upper court allowed the prime minister to praise and worship without name, and walk on the sword."

"My minister Li Song kowtows to thank God!" Li Song cupped his hands.

"Come here and give me a seat!" Liu Xie shouted, the eunuch hurriedly brought a chair, Liu Xie made a gesture of invitation to Li Song, "Prime Minister Li, please take a seat!"

Li Song went directly to the chair and sat down. Seeing this, Liu Xie and others gritted their teeth in hatred. Li Song cupped his hands to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty! I have something to say!"

"Aiqing! I don't know what's going on?" Liu Xie said with hatred in his heart, but forced a smile on his face.

"I heard that Yuan Shao is about to defeat Gongsun Zan and recover Youzhou for the imperial court. I want Jia Xu to go to Jizhou as an envoy of the emperor as a reward." Li Song said.

"No! Jia Xu is a rare talent. It is overkill to go to Jizhou as an envoy. Besides, he has no official position in the imperial court. How can he represent the imperial court as an envoy? Why not send someone else." Dong Cheng said.

Jia Xu's ability, when he was still in Chang'an, he had experienced Jia Xu's strength. If Jia Xu was there, their plan to eradicate Li Song would increase their chances of success by a few percent. Don't underestimate the chance. At critical moments, unexpected effects can be achieved.

"What's the matter? You just need to give him an official position. After all, Yuan Shao is a vassal, and he is from the Yuan family of Runan, the fourth generation and the third lord. How can sending ordinary people to show that the court attaches great importance to him!" Li Songdao.

"What's more, Jia Xu is the best choice in terms of talent, learning, and strategy. It is perfect for him to go to Jizhou as an envoy."

"Why didn't the prime minister send Liu Ji, the minister of the imperial court, to Jizhou? Liu Ji is very comparable in terms of knowledge and strategy. What's more, Liu Ji is still the minister of the imperial court. Therefore, it would be better for him to go as an envoy." Yi Lang Wu Shuo came out and said.

"Shang Shuling has a lot of official business to do! It is not suitable to go to Jizhou, so I can send Jia Xu there! What's more, I have already ordered Jia Xu to go first, and now I just wait for the emperor to make an order." Li Song looked at Dong Cheng and others. People, chuckled lightly.

"Your Majesty! In order for Your Majesty to not have to work so hard, I have prepared an imperial edict for Your Majesty. Your Majesty only needs to stamp the jade seal on it. I will send someone to hurry and hand it over to Jia Xu." Li Song said, from his sleeve He took out a pair of yellow silk, handed it to Liu Xie, and smiled at Liu Xie.

Traitor!How dare you do that!Liu Xie, Dong Cheng and others roared in their hearts, but Liu Xie had to reach out and take the yellow silk handed over by Li Song, put it on the case, took out the jade seal, covered a blank part of the yellow silk, and exchanged it to Li Song.

"Come on! Send the emperor's edict quickly! Hurry up and catch up with Jia Xu who is going to Jizhou, and hand over the edict to him." After taking the edict, Li Song hurriedly sent someone to chase Jia Xu.

After the early dynasty ended, Liu Xie secretly summoned Dong Cheng and others to the side hall to reminisce about the old days. Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji, Wu Shuo, and Wu Zilan went to the side hall to pay homage to Emperor Liu Xie.
