[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

Liu Fu took Wang Sheng's watch on governing Shu, read it at a glance, put it away, and asked Liu Jing, "Go and see if Jing Huan is in good health. If he is in good health, I will hold a banquet to welcome him tonight." " Liu Jing was lying at Liu Fu's feet reading "Warring States Policy", and said without raising his head when he heard the words: "Just send someone to go, I just saw Zhang Yi talking about the King of Qin." Liu Fu took the book and read it for a while. Eyes, then put it in the distance, raised his foot and kicked Liu Jing twice, and urged: "The whole article is Zhang Yi alone talking, what's there to see, go!" Naturally, anyone can do it, but Letting Liu Jing go would show Wang Cheng's closeness and reliance. Liu Jing was only 15 years old, so he couldn't think of this at the moment, but he was always quite obedient. Under Liu Fu's repeated urging, he answered "yes" in a muffled voice, and then So I went obediently.Seeing him go out, Liu Fu picked up the Warring States Policy that was on the ground again, and read the Theory of Strategists with relish.He is not fond of dogs and horses, and he doesn't like reading. After becoming emperor in his last life, he read some classics such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Shangshu" as an example, but he read them reluctantly.At this time, when I saw the Theory of the Warring States Policy, I always felt that it was somewhat similar to what Wang Sheng said when he said it. I had some inexplicable impressions for a while, and I read it without knowing it.

Suddenly, someone came to report that General Shi, Ying Sima and others asked to see him.Liu Fu pondered for a while, and he had a little idea of ​​what he meant, and met everyone in the front hall.Seeing these old ministers from the previous life again, Liu Fu also felt a lot of emotion. He glanced around and found that half of the dozen or so people who came were killed in the Shandong Rebellion in the previous life.These people followed him to raise troops and won the Central Plains through dozens of battles. They were very close. When Zhou Fahe Wu raised his troops, they were unwilling to betray, and half of them were captured and died.Everyone treated him like this, Liu Fu was very grateful, ordered everyone to sit down, and said softly: "I don't know what you are doing?"

The general, Shi Hetong, has the highest reputation among the crowd, so he bowed first and said: "Nowadays, the world is in a state of turmoil, and all the heroes are rising together. My lord, with his talents and talents, spans the land of three Qin and two rivers. The minister is famous for being upright and obedient, so why doesn’t the lord set up a banner and take the title of king to rule with righteousness? In this way, the heroes in the country will follow the wind, and the hearts of the people will be obedient, and then go east, and the great cause can be accomplished.”

Another scribe added: "What Chang Shi said is true. Now that the princes in Shandong are all kings, if the lord still avoids suspicion and keeps righteousness, I am afraid that the countries in Shandong will lighten me, and the people in Guanzhong will be chilled."

"That's right! Everyone in this tiny place wants to be king, but the lord is still a general. I think he should be king too!" another general responded.

Liu Fu listened to the audience one after another, fell silent, raised his hand to stroke his beard, touched his chin and realized that he hadn't grown a beard yet, coughed lightly, and put his hand on the table.He had been silently expanding westward before, and had no time to be king. Now that the heroes of Shandong are all kings, he is still a general, which is really inappropriate.However... Liu Fu frowned secretly. He remembered that the persuasion of the people in the previous life might not be as simple as being king.

Sure enough, Ying Sima Wei Da, who had been silent just now, got up and said: "My lord, I think that if you share the title of king with all the kingdoms in Shandong, it is better to be called emperor." As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent.

Wei Dalue paused, and then said: "Qinchuan has been the hometown of emperors since ancient times. King Wu Xing Zhou, Gao Zu Li Han, Emperor Wen Kai Sui, and Li Shi built Tang. Could it be that they all started in the land of Guanlong, sent troops out of the pass, and conquered the world. Hu Sheng The lord was born in response to the situation, and is in harmony with the gods. If the lord is the emperor today, it is appropriate to obey the heavens and obey the people! If you don’t set the orthodoxy early, and obey the obedience, if the princes disagree, they will use the name of the son of heaven Sending troops to fight against them will never fail. Besides, heroes from all over the world would like to make achievements in this world, and they will come together when they hear that the destiny is in the west. If so, why worry about major events not being achieved? Please make a decision, my lord."

As soon as these words were uttered, it was like throwing a stone into the water, causing waves to rise everywhere, and everyone was in an uproar.

"It...it's too early to be called emperor at this time!" He Tong frowned.

"The minister also thought that he could be called emperor, but no one in the Shandong kingdoms is called emperor now. Doesn't it prove that we are orthodox if we call emperor first?"

"General, have you ever thought about why all the princes in Shandong are only called kings, and no one is called emperor?"

"Ah, if everyone can't do it, I can't do it too?"

Liu Fu sat at the head, watched the crowd quarreling, but didn't stop, just fiddled with the inkstone on the table.People in the previous life also had this opinion. At that time, he was young and energetic, and he had a good reputation. When he heard people talk about the various benefits of being emperor, he couldn't help being moved. In the end, despite the dissuasion of most people, he thought that "dare to be the first in the world." ", finally at the age of 23, Jian Zuo proclaimed himself emperor.It is different now, he has been the emperor for ten years, he has already tasted the taste of authority, and there is no need to rush for a while.As the saying goes, if you beat the first bird with a stick, the various troubles brought about by being the first to become emperor still impressed him so far. Now hearing them talk about becoming emperor, Liu Fu is not very enthusiastic.

In the final analysis, Guanshan Wanli is taken with a long sword, what's the use of a false name?Liu Fu secretly thought about it, but everyone kept arguing, and Liu Fu didn't interrupt. Since he lost all of Shandong, the court has not been so lively for a long time.

During the quarrel, just as Liu Jing came back from Wang Sheng, Liu Fu beckoned him to come closer.Liu Jing whispered a few words in his elder brother's ear, Liu Fu nodded, and said to Liu Jing, "Just now everyone was discussing whether to let the elder brother be the king or the emperor. There is no conclusion for a while. Good morning?"

Liu Jing was taken aback by the question, scratched his hair, and then excitedly said: "Brother, of course he is proclaiming himself emperor. Being emperor is so majestic! There are enough kings in the Kanto region, and it would be meaningless to add one more."

Liu Fu laughed loudly when he heard the words, and stopped for a while. If it was in the last life, these words would have really entered his heart.Liu Jing was terrified by his laughter, and asked in confusion: "Brother, did I say something wrong, is it so funny?" Everyone's argument was also interrupted by this laughter, and they all turned to look at Liu Fu, to see how Liu Fu made a decision .

Liu Fu got up and said: "There is no rush, let's discuss it later. Wang Jinghuan ruled Shuxin, and I will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight. You all should appreciate it."

General Zhu Chengweng said in a low voice, "My lord, you have to open a jar of good wine dug out from the palace of Chang'an today, right?"

"Haha, good!" Liu Fu smiled and pointed at the tower-like man, "There is nothing else tonight, just drink as much as you want. But General Zhu, don't accidentally get drunk here, we can't lift you up !"

Everyone laughed, and Zhu Cheng, who was teased, gave a heavy "hi" and laughed too.

The discussion of proclaiming king and emperor was temporarily put on hold, and Liu Fu ordered his servants to hold a banquet in his courtyard.The mansion where he temporarily lived was not big, but the number of soldiers under his command was much smaller than in the future, so it could be accommodated.When Liu Fu raised his army, most of his subordinates were from poor backgrounds, they had a street spirit, they didn't care much about etiquette, and they never paid much attention to it, so the banquet was already chaotic before it officially started.The crowd in twos and threes persuaded each other to drink, shouted loudly, sang songs, and what's more, they dropped their hats into the soup.Such a scene was quite unfamiliar to Liu Fu. After he proclaimed himself emperor in his last life, the ruler was the ruler and the minister was the minister. He held the divine weapon in his hand, and his power was growing day by day.Liu Fu looked at the state of the crowd, nostalgic and helpless, looked around, and suddenly found that the host of the banquet hadn't come yet.

Wang Sheng would never do this for no reason. Liu Fu's eyelids twitched and he sent someone to ask. Seeing that there was no news after the man left, he had no choice but to wait for Wang Sheng, picked up the wine bottle from the table, and said to everyone: "I Since the rise of the army, I have taken Jingyang, descended to Gaoling, broken Xianyang, and entered Chang'an. Thanks to your efforts, I am truly grateful for the land I have today. Today is a banquet, please drink hard, come! Everyone drink this cup with me !"

"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone toasted together, but before the cup reached their mouths, they suddenly heard a cry from the door: "Father! My brother was killed by Wang Sheng!" Everyone was shocked, and turned their heads to look, and saw a young man barging in. In the courtyard, he rushed to Zhu Cheng, threw himself at his feet, and howled.

Liu Fu frowned, turned around and put the wine glass back on the table, everyone was shocked, Zhu Cheng stared at him, shook the wine glass, held the shoulder of the visitor with both hands and shouted: "What's going on? Tell me what's going on. Clear!" The young man cried, "Today when I came back from hunting with my brother, my brother's horse bumped into someone. It was not a big deal, but I didn't want to be bumped into by Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng said that my brother had committed a capital crime, so he was arrested. We Brother refused to accept, then Wang Cheng actually... ordered the guards to beat my brother to death!"

Everyone took a breath, Zhu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "What is my son's crime, even death! Wang Sheng, I will kill you!"

"General Rong Rong." Before the words fell, another sound came out.I saw Wang Sheng striding forward, passing Zhu Cheng and his son, walking all the way to the main head without looking sideways, pausing for a while, and bowing to Liu Fu: "The general, Zhu Ziye, the son of Zhu Cheng, rode his horse in the downtown today. Injuring someone, causing death, should be executed according to the law. The minister wanted to tie him up for questioning, but unexpectedly he drew his sword and wounded two guards. I know that I was wrong, and I am willing to deal with it, but Zhu Ziye deserves to die according to the law, and he was killed in vain."

Zhu Cheng said angrily: "Wang Sheng! Which law stipulates that you can't ride horses in the city? I see people ride horses every day, why kill my son alone!"

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Wang Sheng said slowly: "Since I entered Chang'an, the general has suffered from long-term wars in the Guanzhong. The common people are powerful and do not know the law. The general does not think that the minister is not talented. He ordered the minister to revise the law to correct his behavior. The minister adopts the new law. Showing the wells and fields in the Chang'an city, the new law has been implemented for two years, and the general is not aware of it?"

Zhu Cheng sneered, and before he could speak, Wang Sheng said to Liu Fu, "I went to Sichuan to inspect the matter after the legislation was made, but I didn't know that the Chang'an decree was not good enough. As a result, I have betrayed the trust of the general. I am deeply ashamed. If the punishment is not severe, the government will not be virtuous. If this person is not killed today, the law will not be trusted by the people. In ancient times, the merchants moved trees to establish trust, and the ministers are just following them today. I will let the people know my new law, and then they can be governed.”

Zhu Cheng knew he was wrong, so he just glared at him, his eyes were like a torch, and he almost wanted to hurt others violently.Liu Fu knew that his temper was as fierce as fire, and he was afraid that something bad would happen, so he pressed his sword and walked up to Wang Sheng, covered him with his body, and said to Wang Sheng with his palms: "The law can't be done. No worries from now on."

Wang Sheng said: "It's lucky that I don't see the responsibility, why dare to take it?"

Liu Fu smiled slightly, untied the sword at his waist, and said to Wang Sheng, "Since I started my army, this sword has always been with me. Now I give it to you. You hold this sword, but do what you want, and don't ask other questions." He raised the sword again. He said to everyone: "From now on, anyone who sees this sword will be like seeing Liu Fu." Everyone replied: "Yes." Liu Fu raised the sword to Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng knelt down to accept it, and raised the long sword with both hands Looking over his head, he said in a deep voice: "I hold this sword, and everything must be done according to the law. If there is any deviation, I will use the axe!" Liu Fu raised his hand and gave it to Wang Sheng, holding the sword on his chest, and stood up.

Liu Fu turned around and looked at the young man next to Zhu Cheng, and asked, "Is this the second son of General Pian?"

Zhu Cheng was still quite unconvinced, but Liu Fu had finished his words, so he couldn't say anything about Wang Sheng, and nodded angrily upon hearing the words.Liu Fu said with a smile: "I think this son is young and talented. He looks very brave. He looks like his father. I remember that there is one less general in the army. You can take office tomorrow."

The tears on the young man's face were still wet, although he still felt sad, he was still surprised and happy when he heard the words, and subconsciously went to see his father.The anger on Zhu Cheng's face faded slightly, he gritted his teeth for a while, and then he sighed heavily, and shouted at him: "What are you doing in a daze, and you haven't thanked the general?" The young man hurriedly thanked: "The last general Zhu Ziwei thanked the general !"

Liu Fu chuckled, raised his hand and said, "Bring another jar of fine wine from Chang'an, and I will not return to you tonight without getting drunk!" But he never mentioned the matter of cleaning up the dust for Wang Sheng.Wang Cheng sat down calmly, with the horizontal sword on his lap, and drank with everyone, his expression as usual.

Everyone also sat down separately, and no one dared to do it again.Everyone sat in their seats until the banquet was over, during which no one left the table for a moment, only then did the spirit of joy and debauchery be swept away.Liu Fu smiled and persuaded everyone to drink, but he sighed inwardly.

He wanted to be presumptuous for a while, but someone came to stand up for him.
