From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 101 Then What Should I Be?
When Zhao Tai heard that the imperial court had sent an envoy from Zhao'an, he was silent for a while before reacting.

"You said that the imperial court issued an imperial edict to me?"

The news was told to him by You Kan, who was standing respectfully in front of him.

That surprised expression was no better than Zhao Tai's.

"Yes, Minggong, Master Qi has brought people to meet him, and hereby informs his subordinates to come down and ask for Minggong's opinion."

Chief Registrar, this was an official position in a county in the Han Dynasty. It was an important staff member who did many things and had considerable power.

Zhao Tai really wanted to give him a position like Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the six departments had a simple framework except the Ministry of Officials.

However, none of the ministries has a good leader. Except for Xia Houlan in the Ministry of Justice, Wang Cui is also in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who has no actual duties but no real power.

Everything else, everything else is on Qi Zhou's shoulders.

If you can't find more people who can do the job, give Qi Zhou a position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry or Minister, what else should you do?
It's better to let him be the chief bookkeeper and continue to wear multiple hats.

It's a lot of work for those who can, anyway, Zhao Tai has completely forgotten what Qi Zhou said when he was in charge, and he didn't say it, so he can't remember it.

Although Zhao Tai claimed to be a rebel and occupied a county and governed it himself, before the fall of the Han Dynasty, this territory essentially belonged to the Han Dynasty.

Unless Zhao Tai proclaimed himself king and emperor, he would do this if he was stupid.

It was reasonable and reasonable for the imperial court to come to order him, a rebel, and there was no reason to refuse.

Etiquette is still required, Zhao Tai is not a barbarian who only knows how to fight and kill.

Just treat it as a meeting with a diplomatic mission, and let the two countries engage in diplomacy.

Not wanting to suffer any loss after seeing him, he also wanted to see how the court would order him.

"See, why didn't you see me, bring them to the government office to meet me."

Go out to greet him?He didn't even think about Liu Hong's arrival, let alone a messenger.

"Here."

You Kan doesn't think about whether it's suitable or not, whether Zhao Tai's airs are too big or not, anyway, Zhao Tai does whatever he asks him to do, and never talks nonsense.

Generally, except for the secret decree, one has to be courteous enough to receive imperial decrees, at least it is the rule to receive decrees outside the door.

A man like Zhao Tai, who sits in the government office and lets the person who announces the decree come to him, can be said to be contemptuous of the imperial power and contempt of the court.

But so what, Zhao Tai didn't ask them to come.

Zhao'an?Zhao Tai didn't ask the imperial court for peace.

It would be great if he could ask his maid to prepare a banquet to entertain these court envoys. This is the greatest courtesy he can give.

Moreover, he guessed that the imperial court's coming to Zhao'an was the only solution. As he said, if he was crippled once, the imperial court would no longer be able to send troops to attack him except for unexpected circumstances.

"On such an important occasion, I don't have all kinds of talents to witness with me. It's like a polished commander."

Facing the empty government office hall with only the guards nearby, Zhao Tai couldn't help complaining.

He simply didn't make him wait long, Qi Zhou, Xia Houlan, and Zhou Ping entered the hall first, followed by the envoys from the imperial court.

There was a lot of pomp and circumstance, especially Xiao Huangmen, the middle-level eunuch of the imperial court who was walking in the front, looking around constantly.

The disgusted expression in his eyes seemed to be talking about the simplicity of this government office.

It is indeed simple and crude. Luoyang must be incomparable to the government offices in small places.

"Who is Zhao Tai, Zhao Ding'an? Our family has the imperial decree, why don't we come out of the house to welcome you?"

"This is contempt for the imperial court and contempt for the current emperor. Why don't you come out and plead guilty?"

Obviously Zhao Tai was sitting directly above, but he pretended not to see it, his face was extremely arrogant.

Zhao Tai didn't say anything, but Zhou Ping, who was standing at the bottom, put his thumb on the sword and made a clanging sound as he unsheathed the sword.

Looking at the other party expressionlessly, this silent attitude put great psychological pressure on the other party.

"Zhaowei, don't slip your hands, you might scare people."

"Ming Gong forgives the crime, the general has killed a lot of people recently, and it's a bit smooth."

Zhou Ping's serious and expressionless face made the envoys even more nervous.

Didn't Zhang Changshi say that Zhao Tai's heart is toward the big man?Why is this situation different?

"You come from Luoyang, and you are a man of etiquette. We are just rough guys, so please don't mind if you are rude."

"What's your name?"

Zhao Tai was talking about etiquette, but he didn't even move, let alone stand up.

"I don't mind, I don't mind. Our family name is Zhu Ming, and we belong to the small yellow gate in the palace."

Some people just don't know their own situation, and think that when they come to Zhao Tai, they are like Luoyang Palace, and everyone has to curry favor with him.

At best, Zhao Tai is a rebel, but at worst, he is a rebel.

When he came to the den of rebels, he still put on the same face as when he was in Luoyang. He really didn't know what his last name was.

Fortunately, he was also in the palace, so he reacted fairly quickly, and if he didn't react quickly, he would have disappeared in the palace.

"Oh, Zhuhuangmen, I heard there is an imperial decree? Read it and listen."

Zhao Tai's rebellion was not for Zhao'an, it was Song Jiang's doing.

Isn't it just to listen, do you want him to bow three times and kowtow nine times?
If you are satisfied, it doesn't mean you can't agree. Anyway, Zhao Tai won't cause trouble again for a period of time.

Who stipulated that if you promise now, you can't rebel?It couldn't be easier to find a reason.

There was nothing Zhu could do about such an incompetent person. He knew the purpose of his visit and what kind of person he was in front of.

How could he dare to offend a ruthless person who wiped out a hundred thousand troops.

If Zhang Rang hadn't told him to try Zhao Tai's attitude in his previous behavior, he wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant even if he had ten guts.

"Okay, read it now, Zhao... General Zhao can just sit down."

He didn't know how to address Zhao Tai, he couldn't call him the owner of the village, so Zhao Tai had to look like the owner of the village.

"Cough cough."

Zhu cleared his throat, and when he opened the imperial decree, his expression became solemn, not daring to show any disrespect to the imperial power.

"On January [-], the second year of Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong issued an edict."

"There is chaos in Changshan County, and there are righteous men and villagers to overcome it. The leader of the rebel army, Zhao Tai, has made outstanding contributions to protect the environment and the people. He is actually the pillar of wisdom and courage, loyalty to the monarch and the country."

"The special Jin Dynasty granted him the title of Bi[-] Shi, captured Zhonglang General, and commanded the military affairs of Changshan, Zhongshan, Daijun, and the three counties. I admire this."

"General, take the order."

Zhu's expressions switched seamlessly. One second he was solemn and solemn, and the next second he had a flattering expression.

I can't wait to put the imperial edict directly into Zhao Tai's hands.

Zhonglang General, Huangfu Song is just this official position. His position is only slightly lower than Jiuqing, and he is a veritable high-ranking official.

Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, he was a worthy figure.

"That's it?"

In fact, this Zhao'an is very sincere, the soldiers of the three counties are all under his control, but if he only manages the military, it is not easy for him to want soldiers?
What he wants is territory, the kind that the military and government can seize.

Perhaps in Qi Zhou's eyes, this is very good. After all, the inner plot of being an orthodox official is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

But Zhao Tai knew what he wanted. With his current strength, a lieutenant general with the authority to manage the military affairs of three counties was simply not enough.

This sentence confused everyone including Zhu.

"What does General Zhao mean?"

"What do you mean? I will not accept this imperial edict. Please send it back."

Zhao Tai's words startled Zhu, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"General Zhao can't do it. The imperial decree is read out but no one picks it up. The young one will be dead when he goes back. It must not be done."

The imperial court gave him an errand and asked him to read the imperial decree Zhao'an, but the imperial decree failed and he took the imperial decree back. He didn't know what happened to Zhao Tai.

But the angry Liu Hong would definitely kill him regardless of anything.

From his birth until now, he has never heard of anyone who would not accept the imperial decree, and he did not expect that he would catch up now.

"Afraid of death? Let me ask you, what do people outside call me?"

Zhao Tai leaned forward and asked Zhu a question that had nothing to do with the imperial edict.

"The Black Mountain Bandit...No, no, no, the Black Mountain King."

"Then what should you call me?"

"King of Montenegro."

"Then what should I be?"

Zhu looked at Zhao Tai with fearful eyes, his body was shaking like chaff, and he was speechless.

"Black Mountain... the king."

"Then why do you think the court should seal me?"

Zhu didn't dare to answer this time. He didn't dare to say this even if it meant death.

Zhao Tai looked at the personal guard, and the sound of the steel sword being unsheathed made Zhu wet his pants in fright.

"Look, I scared you again. Does the Zhuhuang Clan think I want to become king?"

"Wrong, I, Zhao Taizhong, are loyal to the country, how could I do such a thing."

"Go back and tell me today that I, Zhao Tai, are willing to be ordered to An. The land of the three counties remains the same, but I have the right to establish a government and establish teeth, and I have to consider what orders I have before deciding whether to obey."

Kaifu Jianya means that he has the right to appoint and remove officials under his rule, and can form his own yamen, which is more powerful than the state pastor who was later captured by the military and government.

As for adjusting orders and considering them according to circumstances, isn't that just listening to the instructions but not the announcements? It's just to put it mildly.

He didn't want to be used as a gunman by the Empress Zhao'an, he wanted the rights, the official position, and the territory.

But to let him do things, there is no door.

Hearing that Zhao Tai didn't want to be crowned king, Zhu Cai felt much better.

But after reacting, it's not that he didn't accept the order.

Zhao Tai didn't give Zhu time to react, anyway, love would not give it.

"Come here, send these angels off for me. Be polite and put away your knives. How unbecoming is this?"

These people come here in a good manner, but when they go out, they are all in a daze, and they don't even know how to get out of the government office.

But after being blown by the cold wind, Zhu woke up with a face full of fear.

It's nothing to be sent out, the key is what should he say when he goes back?
Said that Zhao Tai didn't think he was powerful enough, so he didn't like the position of General Zhonglang?

No matter how you think about it, you can't live a good life. If it is serious, you will be hacked to death, and no matter how light it is, you will have to be skinned.

"Look for Changshi Zhang. If I am blamed, Changshi Zhang will also be implicated."

"And this matter was sponsored and proposed by Changshi Zhang. He must have a way."

He didn't care whether his pants were wet or not, he got into the carriage in three steps and two steps, and ran straight to Luoyang.

After the imperial envoys left, only Zhao Tai and Qi Zhou were left in the mansion.

But the way these subordinates looked at Zhao Tai was filled with disbelief and something strange.

　Brothers, let Lao Donkey, ah no, let Lao Tuo take a vacation today to figure out the development of the plot. I wrote it too quickly and my brain is a little confused. There is no need to wait for the third part, let me figure it out.
