After returning to Luoyang, Liu Xie summoned many civil and military ministers.
The ministers did not know that they had left, but some major events were particularly good.
Speaking of which, what he, the emperor, did was very cowardly, could he do something big?
On that night, Liu Xie had a dream, and he participated in a ceremony by Xi Yu in the dream.
It turned out that Xi Yu was going to call himself the king. Since he currently lives in Youzhou, he called himself the king of Youzhou.
Many people also participated in his ceremony.
Among them were Liu Bei, Meng Huo, Zhang Lu and others, and Cao Pi and Sima Yi actually went with gifts.
The scene was particularly lively, which made Liu Xie very fascinated.
After Xi Yu finished the ceremony, he led everyone to salute Liu Xie.
Liu Xie originally thought he was an outsider, but unexpectedly everyone discovered it.
He quickly woke up from his dream. Liu Xie felt that his dream was particularly real, as if he had encountered it.
When the morning court was on the next morning, he told the civil and military ministers this dream, and the ministers looked at each other.
No one expected that Liu Xie would tell his dream.
Liu Xie summoned civil and military ministers to discuss the matter of rewarding Xi Yu as king, and the ministers were discussing it.
Some people think that Xi Yu has outstanding achievements and deserves to be crowned with the king; some people worry that Xi Yu's ambition will inflate and that the title of the king will encourage his arrogance.
The views of the two factions collided violently in the court.
The ministers who supported the title of king made generous speeches, listing Xi Yu's outstanding military achievements and outstanding contributions, and believing that he is fully qualified to be king.
A minister said excitedly: "Xi Yu is both wise and brave, and has been famous many times, and deserves a higher reward."
Another minister agreed: "Yes, Xi Yu not only has outstanding military achievements, but also has good governance of the local area and allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Such talents deserve to be called king."
However, the ministers who opposed the title of king pointed out Xi Yu's ambitions, worried that he would take the opportunity to expand his power and pose a threat to the stability and security of the Han Dynasty.
An older minister said worriedly: "Although Xi Yu has made contributions, his ambitions cannot be ignored. After he was crowned as king, his power will be greater and he may take the opportunity to expand his power."
Another minister added: "We cannot only see the military achievements in front of us, but also consider the long-term national interests. General Xi Yu's ambition has caused some people's concerns, and we cannot take the risk of making him king."
The two sides argued endlessly in the court, each with their own opinions, and the scene was very fierce.
Liu Xie silently listened to the views of both sides on the throne and fell into deep thought.
Liu Xie was in a dilemma, and he understood that the views of both factions made sense. He decided to put aside the dispute for the time being and let the ministers go back and think again.
"Since that's the case, then this matter will be put aside."
Liu Xie had no choice but to say that, but he was very unhappy.
After the morning court, when he returned to the bedroom, Liu Xie was still depressed.
The little eunuch who accompanied him to Youzhou, however: "Your Majesty, why do you have to do this? In fact, you just need to do this by yourself. Then do it, no matter what others say?"
Liu Xie was stunned. Can you still do this?
"Your Majesty, don't forget that you are Your Majesty, you have nothing to say."
Liu Xie felt that what he said was a little reasonable. Although he was like a puppet, he was also an emperor.
Yes, he must take out his power this time and must not let these people mercy.
It would be fine if a hero like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao was merciless. What was going on?
"You said it well, thank you for your reminder. Now I will draw an imperial edict immediately."
Afterwards, Liu Xie immediately issued an imperial edict, named Xi Yu the King of Youzhou, and then asked the little eunuch to report the news quickly.
On the second day, Liu Xie told him about this matter, and the opposing ministers looked at each other.
It turned out that Liu Xie had already made a decision to make a one-man show.
Since that's the case, why do you still need to discuss it?
So some ministers began to dissuade him with great sincerity: "Your Majesty, it's a bit inappropriate to do this. You should think carefully."
"What else am I thinking about? I have issued an imperial edict."
The minister sighed.
Since that's the case, nothing you say is useless.
Moreover, today, many people see that Liu Xiehe is a little different in normal times, and he seems to be particularly majestic.
The little eunuch took the imperial edict and hurried to set off.
On the way, he guarded the imperial edict, fearing that something would happen.
He naturally understood that the world was about to be a joke sooner or later, and Liu Xie was probably the last emperor of the Han family.
Thinking of this, he felt very sad.
So when he was in the inn, he felt very sad while eating.
The waiter also felt inexplicably and didn't know what was going on with him.
On the other hand, Xi Yu entered a crazy state of training.
He had no idea that Liu Xie valued him so much and actually made him king.
Because I also held a crazy meeting and everyone disagreed, the matter was slowly put on hold.
A few days later, the little eunuch came to Youzhou City Gate. This time the soldiers dared not refuse to let go because he came with the imperial edict.
The little eunuch entered the Western Prefecture.
Xi Yu and his elder brother Xi Zhicai were playing chess, and the two were particularly quiet at this moment.
Their hearts were also very quiet. Heat was emitted from the Boshan stove next to them, and there was a pot of flowers in front of the window, which looked so beautiful.
Suddenly, a soldier broke the silence because it was a little eunuch who came to read the imperial edict.
Xi Yu was shocked. What imperial edict did His Majesty the Emperor give him?
Seeing that it was the last time the little eunuch said a few polite words, then quickly knelt down with Xi Zhi.
The content of the imperial edict actually made Xi Yu become king, which surprised Xi Yu.
"My father-in-law is a little inappropriate, what can I do?"
"Xi Zhi, oh, no, you should be called King Youzhou. You are polite. Your Majesty values ​​you so much, and you have outstanding abilities in yourself."
Xi Yu was secretly happy and was a little polite.
"That's all your Majesty is loving. In fact, I still have many shortcomings."
He finally thanked him and took the imperial edict.
Then, he asked the little eunuch to broadband.
The little eunuch said that he had to go back to work, so Xi Yu pulled his arm.
"I don't think you haven't lived here at this time. You'll stay here tonight."
The little eunuch thought to himself that the emperor did not tell him that he had to leave immediately. Since that is the case, then stay.
Anyway, he is always happy to be with Xi Yu.
Xi Zhicai immediately bowed to Xi Yu.
"Congratulations to my brother."
"Brother, what are you doing? Why should we be so polite among our brothers?"
He immediately supported the other person's arm.
"Brother is mainly so happy, which shows that Your Majesty values ​​you very much."
Xi Zhicai’s analysis is very reasonable. It can be said that now His Majesty supports Xi Yu in doing what he wants to do.
Because Liu Xie also knew that his momentum had been exhausted and he needed a new star now, the key is that Liu Bei had promised his constitutional monarchy and would not put himself to death.
But if it were Cao Pi, it would be different. Cao Pi would definitely deal with himself, at least not good to him.
Xi Yu held a meeting in the mansion, and he read the content of the imperial edict to everyone with a serious expression. Xi Yu's voice echoed in the hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"This time it's not a question of whether I am willing to be king or not, but the emperor insists on appointing me as king." Xi Yu's words caused an uproar and everyone began to whisper.
Some people showed joy and thought this was the glory that Xi Yu deserved.
These news soon spread throughout Youzhou.
People were talking about the streets and alleys, expressing their views on the fact that Xi Yu was king. Some people believe that Xi Yu was a great military achievement and deserved to be king.
In the teahouse in Youzhou, people had a heated discussion about Xi Yu's claim to be king.
An old man took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Xi Yu has made a lot of contributions to our Youzhou. If he becomes king, he will definitely make our Youzhou more prosperous." People around him nodded in agreement.
The emperor's decision was considered very wise.
After Cao Pi learned that Xi Yu was named king by the emperor, his anger gushed out like a volcano.
His face turned red in an instant, and blue veins swelled up on his forehead, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to condense all his dissatisfaction and anger into this punch.
His eyes were filled with anger, as if he wanted to burn everything in front of him to ashes.
He slapped the table hard, making a dull sound, shaking the items on the table tremble slightly. He kept swearing, his voice loud and excited, full of anger and dissatisfaction.
Cao Pi's body trembled with anger, and his breath became rapid and heavy, as if every breath was filled with endless anger.
"Liu Xie, you hateful child, I must kill you."
When Xi Yu became the king, he was one level higher than himself. He wanted to be king in the past, but he had not had time. Unexpectedly, Liu Xie's enthronement became legal this time.
Meng Yulei was still treated to by good wine. On that day, Cao Pi came to his room.
Meng Yulei was hugging two beauties, and the room was filled with laughter and joy.
Cao Pi pushed the door open and angry appeared on his face.
Meng Yulei quickly restrained his expression.
"Duke Cao, although this is the territory you provide, isn't it a bit rude for you to rush straight ahead?"
The two women were so scared that they ran out, fearing that Cao Pi would blame them, but fortunately they were not criticized by Cao Pi.
When Cao Pi learned that Xi Yu was named king, he was very angry. He became suspicious of Meng Yulei, believing that he was a false reputation and had no real ability.
Cao Pi cursed angrily: "Meng Yulei, you useless person! I am so blind. I actually believe that you have the ability to crack Xi Yu's birth date! Now that he has been named king, you are still immersed in the gentle country of women and do not want to make progress!"
The key is not only to be king, but more importantly, Liu Di actually supports Xinyu to attack him.
He has regarded himself as a thorn in his side. If he wins, he will definitely torture Liu Xie to death.
Meng Yulei felt no guilt in his heart when facing Cao Pi's anger.
He explained: "Mr. Cao, you misunderstood me. I am not a person who has gained fame and has never been unwilling to make progress. It takes time and energy to crack the birth date and horoscope, and I have been working hard to study it."
Cao Pi interrupted his explanation angrily.
"Time? How much time do you need? Don't forget that you have promised it, up to ten days!"
Meng Yulei replied calmly: "Mr. Cao, I can understand your anger. But please believe me, I will definitely find a way to crack Xi Yu's birth date and horoscope. I lie drunk in a woman's arms to relax my body and mind so as to better respond to challenges. I have never given up cracking Xi Yu's birth date and horoscope. This is my mission, and I will do my best."
"Besides, aren't these women still sent by you?" He smiled sly.
Cao Pi couldn't say this at this moment.
He did promise to give the other party good wine, food and beauty. He could raise the conditions for the other party.
Cao Pi looked at Meng Yulei's firm eyes and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He realized his incompetence and took a deep breath.
After all, the news that Xi Yu was named king made him in a mess.
"Okay, Meng Yulei, I will trust you again. If you can't crack Xi Yu's birth date and horoscope as soon as possible, we will face greater difficulties."
Meng Yulei nodded, "I understand, Mr. Cao. I will work harder and live up to your trust."
Cao Pi sighed and then left. Looking at his back, Meng Yulei gave him a look of contempt.
In Sima Yi's home, candlelight shone, reflecting the figure of Sima Yi and his eldest son Sima Shi playing chess. The black and white on the chessboard are clearly distinguished, just like the world of power and conspiracy in their hearts.
Sima Yi gently fell down a son and said slowly: "Xi Yu was named king. This game of chess is really exquisite."
His voice was low and magnetic, as if telling a thrilling chess game.
Sima Shi frowned slightly and stared at the chessboard.
"Father, do you think the emperor's move is intentional or unintentional?"
Sima Yi smiled.
"Every step the emperor takes has his profound meaning. Xi Yu's title of king may be his chess move, but this chess move also put him in risk. If he is not careful, he will lose all the game."
A trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Although the emperor has some talent, he is not so wise. The main reason is that he really trusts Xi Yu too much.
Sima Yi sighed and said, "Maybe the emperor has decided that Xi Yu will seize the world, and Cao Pi is doomed to fail."
Sima Shi did not speak, he seemed to understand what his father said was right.
After a while, Sima Yi muttered again.
"I hope Meng Yulei can be worthy of our trust and get things done for us quickly."
Next, the two of them were only concerned about playing chess and no longer talked about anything.
The secret guard Tianhu has been in Luoyang for several days. On this day, he accidentally learned that there was a secret intelligence organization called Longhumen.
He decided to go to the Dragon and Tiger Sect to take a look.
The mystery of this organization lies in its membership, its mode of action and its intelligence.
The members of the organization are highly confidential, and they lurk in every corner with various disguised identities.
Tianhu is standing at the entrance of the cave of Longhumen.
He heard that this place was hidden in a remote cave and was very difficult to find, and each member was wearing a mask, which was mysterious.
When he stepped into the cave, he was immediately surrounded by a group of masked people.
One of the masked men asked in a stern tone: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Tianhu took a deep breath and replied calmly: "I come and do business with you and hope to get some important information."
Another masked man walked up and began to search Tianhu. Tianhu was a little dissatisfied, but he still cooperated with their inspection.
"You don't carry any dangerous items, come in," said the masked man.
After Tianhu was taken in, he was questioned in detail, how did he know that there was this organization here, who heard from him, etc.
Tianhu also answered one by one. Since we want to cooperate with them, we must show sincerity.
After hearing his answer, several people felt that he was not lying.
The masked people exchanged their eyes, and one of them said, "Okay, you can come with me. I will take you to see our leader."
Tianhu followed the man through the narrow cave passage and finally came to a spacious cave. A man wearing a golden mask sat in the middle of the cave, probably the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Sect.
"What's wrong with you?" The leader's voice was low and powerful.
Tianhu said his purpose, just to ask them to investigate Sima Yi.
Several people were shocked because Sima Yi was an important figure.
Although they were wearing masks, Tianhu could feel the tension in their hearts.
Tianhu then deliberately used the method of provoking.
"What? Don't you dare to accept it? I thought you were so powerful, but it seemed that I was just a fame. I'll look for someone else to see it. I don't believe that I can't spend money."
Tianhu had a trick of trying to get, so he wanted to leave immediately.
This moment angered the leader.
"Who said we dare not take it? Come back."
Tianhu knew that the other party would definitely call him back.
"But this person is very special recently, so the price is higher."
"Of course there is no problem with this. Even if you don't say it, I can't treat you badly."
Finally, the other party quoted a price.
Tianhu felt it was acceptable, so he paid the money.
"Very good, very refreshing." The leader said.
Next, Tianhu made a request.
It is to ask about the important women or women with blood relationships in Sima Yi's voice, and then offer them to Cao Pi to make conflicts with Cao Pi.
They are only responsible for investigation, and the later work will be completed by Tianhu.
At this moment, the leader was silent and looked at Tianhu.
Tianhu asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel that this matter is particularly difficult?"
"I'm just curious about what you are"?
"I have learned some of your rules before, so you can't ask about customers casually, right?"
The leader immediately laughed.
"Yes, it's because I'm too abrupt. Come and make tea quickly."
Chapter completed!
