Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 186 Sansuke
"Your Majesty is here!" Just as Li Song got impatient and was about to get someone to rush him, a eunuch's unique voice came from outside the hall.

I saw Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, wearing a crown and a dragon robe, walking in from outside the hall. Civil and military officials rushed to pay respects, and Liu Xie came to kneel on the throne that belonged to him as the emperor.

Li Song sat on the spot, bowed his hands to Liu Xie casually, and shouted together with all the civil and military officials in the hall: "My lord, see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor!"

Liu Xie looked at the hall full of civil and military officials, stretched out his hand and said, "My dear friends! Free yourself from courtesy!"

The Chinese, military and military officials in the hall remained motionless, maintaining their original state, as if they had not heard Liu Xie's words, they were waiting for one person to speak, and this person was Li Song, the prime minister of the court.

Li Song was very satisfied with the attitude of the civil and military officials in the main hall, and said to Liu Xie, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the civil and military officials in the hall followed suit: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" They got up and sat down in their own seats.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xie was furious. As the son of heaven, the civil and military officials of the whole court actually wanted to look at the face of a courtier and ignore him as the lord of the world. But after thinking about it, he was just a puppet in the hands of the powerful minister Li Song. It is helpless.

Naturally, he is not interested in this court meeting, but he still needs to put on a show, step down from the process, and say to Manchu civil and military: "My love, do you have something to report? If there is nothing to report, then go back to the court!"

"Report to Your Majesty! Your Majesty, there is an announcement!" Li Song winked at the people below, and immediately an official came out to play.

"What's the matter with Ai Qing!" Liu Xie looked at the official and said without interest.

"Report to Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." The official immediately performed the performance that he had prepared in the hall, and then several officials came out, and the performances were all trivial matters.

After he performed the performance, Sima Fang of Jingzhao Yin came out and saluted Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Qi Zou! Minister, I have this Qi Zou!"

"Sima Aiqing, I don't know what you have to say?" Liu Xie asked Sima Fang after seeing that the person who came out was Sima Fanghou.

"Your Majesty! Now, the positions of Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng have been vacant for a long time! I think that a person with lofty ideals will be elected to take up the positions of Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng!" Sima Fang said.

"Okay!..." Liu Xie originally wanted to agree to Sima Fang's invitation to play, but after thinking about it, this matter would not be possible without Li Song's consent, so he couldn't help but feel discouraged, and turned to Li Song and said, "Prime Minister Li! What do you think?"

"Your Majesty! I think what Jing Zhaoyin said is reasonable!" Li Song smiled slightly, looked back at Sima Fang and said, "This Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng are one of the three assistants, and their positions are very important! I don’t know, does Jing Zhaoyin have a suitable candidate in mind?”

"Your Majesty! Prime Minister! I recommend General Tan Daoji to take up the position of You Fufeng, General Gao Shun of the Town Army can take on the important role, and I recommend him to take up the position of Zuo Fengyi!" Sima Fang said.

After listening to Sima Fang's words, Liu Xie was like a deflated ball, slumped on the throne. Could it be that even an upright and fair minister like Sima Fang joined forces with Li Song?Liu Xie thought to himself, the two people recommended by Sima Fang are both Li Song's men.

"Good! These two are worthy of this important task!" Li Song smiled slightly, "Jing Zhaoyin has contributed to the court's selection of talents! Why don't you ask Jing Zhaoyin Sima Fang to be the captain of the cavalry! Your Majesty! Very good!"

Li Song seemed to be asking Liu Xie, but he was just being polite!Liu Xiong's disagreement will not affect the final outcome.

"The prime minister is right!" Liu Xie said helplessly, "Pass the decree! I worship Jingzhaoyin Sima Fang as the captain of the cavalry! I worship Tan Daoji as You Fufeng, and Gao Shun as Zuo Fengyi!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Shun, Tan Daoji, and Sima Fang saluted and thanked you!

Sanfu originally refers to the three officials who governed Chang'an in the Western Han Dynasty, and later refers to the area under the jurisdiction of these three officials!As the mayors of the capital, they naturally want to stay in the capital and participate in government affairs like other officials on weekdays.

"Your Majesty! I still have something to announce!" Sima Fang said again.

"What else do you have to start with! Why don't you talk about it together!" Liu Xie was in a bad mood, and said with a bad face. He was angry that an upright and fair person like Sima Fang would take refuge in Li Song. Could it be that I, a big man, really I'm running out of breath!God is going to kill me, a big man!
"Your Majesty! The old minister is getting old! I'm afraid I can no longer serve His Majesty! I hereby resign from the post of Jing Zhao Yin to Your Majesty! I also ask Your Majesty for your permission!" Sima Fang saluted.

"Sure!" Before Liu Xie could speak, Li Song took the lead and said, "It's just that you step down from the position of Jing Zhaoyin. I don't know who can take on this important role! Why don't you recommend another suitable candidate."

Sima Fang's resignation and Li Song's attitude, in Liu Xie's view, Sima Fang was coerced by Li Song. Otherwise, with Sima Fang's upright and fair nature, how could he take refuge in traitors?At this time, Liu Xie suddenly realized that he wanted to stop Sima Fang from resigning. After all, there are too few officials like Sima Fang!

But after thinking about it, although I am the emperor, I am just a puppet in the hands of others. I can't decide my own affairs, so how can I have the ability to decide whether others will stay or stay.

"Report to Your Majesty! Prime Minister! Minister, there is already a suitable candidate to replace me as Jing Zhao Yin!" Sima Fang saluted respectfully.

"Oh! I don't know who it is, who can take over your position! Tell me, which hero can catch your Sima Fang's eyes!" Li Song smiled slightly. Li Song already knew who this person was, so Asking, it's just a show!
But in some people's eyes, it was Li Song who was coercing Sima Fang, and this person must be someone from Li Song's camp, definitely not someone other than these people.

"This person is Zhang Liao, General of Fujun, and so is Zhang Wenyuan!" Sima Fang said.

"Hmm! Not bad!" Li Song said not bad!Turning back to Liu Xie, he said, "Your Majesty! What do you think about this matter? Is it feasible?"

What do I think!Is it useful to speak out?In the end, it's not up to me to decide at all, you can say whatever you want, so why ask me if this is the case!Liu Xie's teeth itched with hatred in his heart, but he couldn't say that on his mouth, "I also think what Sima Fang Aiqing said is reasonable! This matter can only be decided by the Prime Minister!"

"Your Majesty speaks seriously! How dare I arbitrarily decide on the appointment and canonization of officials? This matter is still up to His Majesty! Appoint Zhang Liao as Jing Zhaoyin!" Li Song cupped his hands.

Although Liu Xie wanted to cut Li Song into pieces, he didn't have the strength, so he reluctantly issued an order: "Sima Aiqing! I will allow you to retire and return to your hometown! I miss you who have devoted yourself to the big man for many years, and you will be rewarded ten thousand taels !"

"Zhang Aiqing! I appointed you to take over Sima Aiqing's position and worship Zhang Liao as Jing Zhaoyin!"

"Minister! Receive the decree!" Sima Fang and Zhang Liao saluted.

"That's the end of today's court meeting! Retire!" Liu Xie suddenly got up and said to the civil and military officials!He left directly, Li Song was not dissatisfied seeing this, after all Liu Xie is still the emperor now.
