Listen quietly to the voice of the Lord.

The words came to an end.

The ministers on both sides of the steps looked a little solemn, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Only Zhuge Liang and Fazheng, who were wearing black court robes on their left and right, showed a certain amount of relief on their faces.

It seems that there is already a countermeasure in the chest!

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he raised his head and looked around. Looking at this scene, he obviously understood the mentality of the ministers.

So he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Kong Ming, Xiaozhi, I wonder if you and the others have any good plan to collude with Cao Cao's thieves and traitorous ministers to coerce the emperor and try to carve up the Han Dynasty?"

After hearing that the Lord took the initiative to inquire, the two of them could not neglect it.

Then, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng looked at each other, as if they were exchanging opinions between their eyes. Fazheng took the lead and responded:

"Your Majesty, since the great defeat of Cao's army in the Great Battle of Hanzhong last year, the morale of the army has been low and the morale of the army has been low."

"And you, my great king, have set up an altar in the land of Emperor Gaozu Longxing and proclaimed yourself king to rectify the world."

"I think the traitor Cao must have become so angry that he could no longer sit still, so he ordered a group of traitorous ministers close to him in the court to force the palace, hoping to gain greater power."

After saying that, his expression couldn't help but become more solemn as he spoke.

He then raised his head and looked at the master's face again. Seeing that his expression was as usual, with no change, he felt relieved and said boldly:

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and since you raised the army, you have held high the banner of revitalizing the Han Dynasty."

"Now we must strongly condemn the treacherous Cao family who wants to usurp power, so that the world will know that the Han Dynasty is not yet dead. Your Majesty, you have also established a foundation in Yizhou, and you are ready to make an expedition to the north at any time to revive the Han Dynasty."

The words came together a little, and there was a slight pause in the words. Then the tone gradually became a few points heavier, and he raised his hand and said:

"In addition, I also suggested that the king should issue a royal order and order Wei Yan, the commander of the garrison in Hanzhong, to prepare troops to prepare for the Northern Expedition."

"Furthermore, I once again sent an order to Huo Jun, the governor of the military capital, and ordered him to lead Zhao Tong's troops to assemble on the border of Liangzhou to serve as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition among our armies, so as to scare people's hearts."

"I would also like to take this opportunity to spread the word to all the states and counties in the world that the Han Dynasty is still as strong as ever. Anyone who dares to have evil intentions will be punished from afar!"

A series of words were spoken firmly.

After Liu Bei heard this, he thought about it carefully, and then he managed to squeeze out a kind smile from his old face.

He felt that this method of correcting the law was indeed feasible!

But when he turned his head and looked around, he saw that Zhuge Liang on the left side of the stairs was still holding a goose feather fan. Even after hearing Fazheng's plan, his expression did not change at all.

Suddenly, his curiosity surged.

"Kong Ming, what do you think of Xiaozhi's response this time?"

Liu Bei asked in a deep voice full of expectation.

The words just fell.

Zhuge Liang held the fan in both hands and walked out slowly with a calm expression. He bowed respectfully as if holding hands, and then directly got to the point, cupping his hands and saying:

"Your Majesty, please give me the countermeasures suggested by Fa Shangshu!"

"First condemn him with words to show the courtesy of our army!"

"Only by supplementing this with military operations in Hanzhong, Wudu and other places to act as a deterrent can the discussion among scholars and people in various states and counties be silenced."

After a while, the words fell.

Seeing that the most capable right-hand man under his command all held the same opinion.

Liu Bei, who was sitting upright in the upper table, took a slow breath to show that he was slightly relieved.

After saying that, Zhuge Liang seemed to ponder for a while, and then the expression on his face changed. Suddenly he looked serious, and he bowed and said:

"However, it is not very difficult to resolve the issue of the imperial ministers forcing the palace."

"Liang is actually a little worried about Cao Cao's subsequent movements."

As soon as he said this, everyone observed the changes in his expressions, and everyone had different expressions.

After pondering for a long time, a trace of suspicion appeared on Dong He's face on one side, and then he asked: "I wonder what the military advisor is worried about?"

The words fell.

The other ministers all focused their attention unanimously.

Liu Bei, who was at the head, also looked expectantly.

They all waited quietly to see what he was worried about.

Looking around, eagerly anticipating everyone's expressions, Zhuge Liang did not play riddles, but Wei Wei thought for a moment before replying directly:

"In Yiliang's opinion, Cao's current actions may be preparations for usurping the throne."

"Just because he returned from defeat in the Hanzhong battle, not only the morale of the officers and soldiers in the army was greatly reduced, but also the prestige that Cao Cao himself had accumulated from fighting in all directions over the years was probably affected."

"So much so that now we have to authorize the ministers of the dynasties to force the palace to confer illustrious and high-ranking positions."

"Aspiring to be king has to be temporarily put aside to wait for the opportunity."

A series of words fell down.

After hearing this, everyone in the palace had some guesses.

Each of them pondered for a long time,

Meanwhile, Liu Ba, who was also a minister, seemed to have understood the deep meaning hidden in these words.

With a calm face, he stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Ba's foolish opinion may be what the military advisor said, or it may be that Cao Cao has long been determined to be king."

"It was only because of the great defeat in Hanzhong that his prestige was damaged, so he hid and kept silent. He retreated and used the method of forcing the palace to win the honor of entering the court without being followed, being praised and worshiped without fame, and going to the palace with swords and shoes."

"If he regains his power in the future, I am afraid that becoming king will be put back on the agenda."

Words fell down one by one.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang nodded solemnly.

"What Zichu said is true, and this is exactly what Liang was worried about."

Following Zhuge Liang's words.

Each of the ministers was convinced.

However, Liu Ba's words touched Liu Bei's heart greatly, and his face turned slightly, with a somewhat unkind look on his face.

Even after the Battle of Chibi, Liu Ba was unable to go to Xudu to receive his orders due to road blockage.

But he did not want to surrender to him, so he fled to the border of Jiaozhou.

Later, I moved to this place in Yizhou, thinking that I had gotten rid of him and could sit back and relax.

But he didn't expect that Liu Bei would lead an army to pacify all the counties.

In desperation, Liu Ba had no choice but to surrender and was relied on as an important minister. Together with other ministers, he formulated the Shu Ke to plan various measures to govern the Shu land.

Liu Bei and the Cao family are now life-and-death enemies.

Everyone in the army called him a Han thief.

But although Liu Ba had taken refuge with him, he still had reservations in his words.

But then I thought about it, and I remembered that since he joined me, he has always been conscientious and efficient in his work, and he has not been slacking off.

Thinking of this, the slight discomfort in my heart gradually dissipated.

However, Huang Quan on one side could not raise any questions, and said slightly confused: "Since the Cao thieves were defeated miserably in Hanchuan, how could they do something that affects the fate of the court at this juncture?"

This statement just fell into place.

Fazheng couldn't help but smile, stroking his short beard and gently responded: "Actually, this matter is not that difficult to guess the thief Cao's intentions."

"He must be in charge of the government affairs, and he has taken up the position of prime minister and is in charge of the country's government affairs."

"Now that the king has taken the lead in proclaiming himself king, and legitimately holding high the banner that the Han and the traitors are in conflict and the king's industry is not in harmony, it will definitely make him feel frightened and uneasy."

"Thinking that you are on the same side as our army, or that you don't want to fall to the king's side, you have the idea of ​​​​transgression."

As the ministers analyzed each word.

The general situation was also thoroughly analyzed.

Liu Bei, who was above him, was also in a good mood at the moment, with a smile on his face.

Listen to what the ministers say.

This act of proclaiming himself king actually gave him an upper hand in the political confrontation with Cao Cao.

Thinking back to when my power was low.

He had no choice but to be constantly defeated by it, running away hastily like a bereaved dog.

But now, regardless of the military aspect, or other aspects, it is no less powerful than the Cao family.

On the contrary, it can compete with it.

Feeling the pain of the first half of my life.
