Chapter four hundred and fiftieth chapters
Three days later, Liu Hao returned to the Qin army's camp after taking care of Zixu's funeral.
Liu Hao actually felt a little sad in his heart. In this world, losers only have one chance to die.
He could understand Zixu's thoughts, but Zixu did block his way. All he could do was help him take care of his funeral.
However, although Zixu has committed suicide, he still has a group of clan members. Liu Hao promised Zixu that he would not attack his clan members.
But this doesn't mean that Liu Hao really doesn't take any precautions.
The city defense of Jinyang has been handed over to the military police. At the same time, the government affairs have also been handed over to Huang Hao. At the same time, the handling of the Zixu clan has also been handed over to Huang Hao.
Zixu's immediate family members will follow Liu Hao back to Xia Yang.
Now there is only one thing left before Liu Hao. That is to return the teacher to the court.
He has left the court for a long time, and now he feels it is time to go back and deal with Yuan Chen's problem.
Although in Liu Hao's plan, he did not necessarily need to become the emperor, he also understood one thing.
That means he doesn't want to, but it doesn't mean that the people under him don't want him to become emperor.
It may sound a bit convoluted, but to put it simply, the generals under him are also human beings and have their own desires.
After learning martial arts, he was sold to the emperor's family.
Now among the civil servants and generals of Qin, which one does not want to go further?
But now that they have reached the ultimate level of Qin's ministers, there is no room for them to go higher.
If Liu Hao does not proclaim himself emperor, there will be no way for them to be promoted.
A very simple truth, for example, Liu Hao is only the king of Qin. He can give titles to those below him, such as Dashangzao and the like. It is impossible to seal borders and split the land for them, and it is impossible to give them barons.
Viscount, earl and other titles.
It’s not that he didn’t have these titles, it’s that Liu Hao was not qualified to receive them.
For example, according to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the baron with the lowest rank of the fifth rank can break the soil and establish a country, which is often called a prince.
What Liu Hao can give now are only some nominal titles and cannot be called princes.
Although Liu Hao did not intend to implement the enfeoffment system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he felt that the title system could be retained. After all, it also represented a kind of honor.
Therefore, even if Liu Hao does not insist on becoming emperor, for the sake of the people under his command, he feels that he should put this issue on the agenda.
After waiting for a few more days, Liu Hao directly took the Iron Eagle Warriors and headed towards Xia Yang.
He left Bai Qi, Mu Bi and others behind with a large army, but he himself needed to rush back to Xia Yang as soon as possible.
When Liu Hao saw the Xiayang City Wall, it was already half a month later.
"Welcome Your Majesty!" Liu Zheng and hundreds of officials stood at the city gate and saluted Liu Hao.
Liu Hao sat on the horse, nodded to everyone, and then led people directly into Xia Yang City.
The Iron Eagle warriors behind him all had frosty faces.
This is not to say that the Iron Eagle warriors regard these people as enemies, but that as Liu Hao's personal soldiers, they need to pay attention to the movements around them at all times, even if they are under Xia Yang City now.
Naturally, Liu Zheng and others also know that Liu Hao is now unparalleled in reputation? He is no longer the young man he used to be.
Now Liu Hao is the king of Qin and the most powerful person in the entire Zhou Dynasty. They think Liu Hao's attitude at this time is normal.
Soon? Liu Hao came to the palace.
Yuan Chen already knew that Liu Hao was returning to the city today? So he had already been waiting for Liu Hao in the main hall.
Liu Hao came to the palace, bowed to Yuan Chen, and then said to Yuan Chen, "Your Majesty, I have led our Qin army to wipe out the rebellion!"
"Now, there are no more rebels in our territory of Great Zhou!"
"Good! I'm so lucky, my dear." Yuan Chen looked at Liu Hao and shouted "good" loudly.
In the court hall, some ministers began to sing praises to Liu Hao, while Liu Hao stood there quietly, bowing his hands to everyone out of politeness.
"It's a great blessing that I, my dear, have gone to conquer Buchen. It's getting late today, so please, dear, please stay and have a meal with me." Yuan Chen looked at Liu Hao being surrounded by people, but his nature was not very good.
He knew that Liu Hao did not want to deal with these Zhou Chen now, and he also had something to discuss with Liu Hao, so he came to Liu Hao's rescue.
When Liu Hao heard Yuan Chen's words, he immediately understood that Yuan Chen had something to say to him.
Coincidentally, he also wrote a message and wanted to tell Yuan Chen, so he obediently made a promise to Yuan Chen.
Everyone present was not a fool. They knew that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to entertain Liu Hao alone. So everyone returned to their seats.
Yuan Chen glanced at everyone in the hall, nodded, and then said, "Since you have nothing to do, please leave."
"Here!" Everyone quickly accepted the order and then exited the hall.
After Yuan Chen watched everyone leave, he walked down the steps and came to Liu Hao's side.
"Prince Qin, please accompany me for a walk in the garden."
"Here!" Liu Hao hugged Yuan Chen and said.
Soon, Liu Hao and Yuan Chen came to a pavilion.
A bit of cool wind blew by, taking away the hot summer sun.
Liu Hao and Yuan Chen were sitting in the pavilion drinking.
"King Qin, you have worked hard in this battle." Yuan Chen raised his wine glass and said to Liu Hao.
"Your Majesty's words are serious." Liu Hao said quickly.
"Okay, King Qin, why are you being polite to me now? I remember you were not like this before." Yuan Chen said with a smile.
"I was a little frivolous before. I am here to show off to Your Majesty." Liu Hao put down his wine glass and said to Yuan Chen.
"Okay, this doesn't have to be like this between us." Yuan Chen waved his hand.
"It's you who salutes me now. I don't know if it will be my turn to salute you in some time."
"Your Majesty must not do this." Liu Hao said.
"My family still doesn't know about my family's affairs?" Yuan Chen shook his head.
"How did you think about what I told you last time?" Yuan Chen asked.
When Liu Hao heard Yuan Chen's words, he immediately knew that he was talking about abdication.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of proclaiming myself emperor." Liu Hao said to Yuan Chen.
"Okay, today we are just chatting between friends regardless of our status." Yuan Chen said with a smile.
"You said you don't want to be emperor, but have you considered the situation of the people below you, or me?"
"If you don't proclaim yourself emperor, how will you reward the ministers and generals below you?"
"One more thing, if you don't proclaim yourself emperor and accept the abdication, how will the generals of Qin view this matter? Will they think that I am unwilling to abdicate?"
"To put it bluntly, if the people under your command would directly give you a yellow robe, or they could raise an army to force me to abdicate."
"How should you deal with yourself? Should you continue to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, or should you deal with your humiliated ministers?"
"I also know your dream. If you want peace in the world, then don't let Da Zhou bleed. Da Zhou has already lost too much strength."
