"Where is the Tingwei?" Zhang Xiu nodded and asked expressionlessly.

"At." Gongsun Du bowed to his promise with a stern face, like an iron-faced king of hell. He had been in charge of punishment for many years, and had a sense of evil spirit on his body, which was almost everyone was afraid of.

He doesn't need to be interrogated anymore.

Tu Xiong himself couldn't stand it and he was called. He knew that it was okay to bluff people, but once he used to torture, he would definitely be called. Now that he had called himself, he might still survive.

"Please spare your life, please forgive me. The villain knows his crime, and the villain knows his crime." Tu Xiong's heart was almost broken, so he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Poor he just wants to make ten times the profit, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Didn't he just want to make some money? What's wrong with doing this?

Baba is wronged.

The civil and military officials in Deyang Palace were in an uproar. Is it really fake?!!!

Zhang Xiu's face changed and he shouted: "The villain of the foreign country dares to pretend to be an envoy? If you don't tear you into pieces, where is my great man's dignity?"

"Where is the tiger?"

"Grand Sima." A team of tigers walked in from outside the hall, wearing spears and armor, bowed to Zhang Xiu.

"Pull him down, cut off his limbs in the downtown area, then behead him, and his head hangs at the city gate for public display." Zhang Xiu was furious and ordered.

It's really outrageous. The fraud actually tricked him into the head.

"promise."

Hu Ben responded and then pulled out Tu Xiong, who was as limp as mud.

But the matter was not over. Li Tan, the Great Honglu, took off the crown on his head, leaned on the ground, bent down to the emperor Liu Xie and said, "I am guilty."

"Don't be crowned, go home to take care of your old age." Zhang Xiu said coldly over Liu Xie.

"promise."

Li Dan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was blind and attracted a foreign country. He treated him as an envoy and introduced him to the Deyang Palace to meet the emperor during the morning court.

This embarrassing person is really a big loss. Even if he was imprisoned, he would have nothing to say. Now he is just being exempted from office and going home, which is already lucky.

This matter ended here. The morning court ended, and Zhang Xiu's face was as deep as water and he left with great strides.

Zhang Xiu suppressed the world majesticly, and he was furious. The civil and military officials were also worried. They didn't dare to give up a single fart, and they left alone.

Li Ru, the chief of the Sili School, was relatively calm. He watched coldly and analyzed from another perspective, and made a decision in his mind.

After Li Ru left the morning court, he did not go back to the Sili School Guard's Office, but went to the Grand Sima Mansion. However, he did not look for Zhang Xiu, but Jia Xu.

Jia Xu is now considered half of the prime minister, with a high position and a powerful person, and no one can enter his door.

However, Li Rutianran has a close relationship with Liangzhou Group and is considered to be half of Zhang Xiu's confidant. Of course, he could see Jia Xu immediately if he wanted to see him.

After Jia Xu saw Li Ru, he realized that Li Ru seemed to be in trouble. He couldn't help but invite Li Ru to a room, and the two of them sat down alone. Jia Xu then looked up at Li Rudao opposite him: "Sir, have you something?"

Li Ru was still very cautious when facing a person like Jia Xu. After thinking about it for a while, he replied: "Duke Ming of the Grand Sima has now pacified Liangzhou (old Liangzhou), with great achievements, strong soldiers and strong horses, and people's hearts are what people want. This time, the ministers were rewarded by the ministers. Even the left-behind people, such as us, have great achievements. However, Da Sima himself did not. I thought he should persuade Da Sima to be promoted to be the title of [Public]."

Jia Xu's face moved, and then he took a serious look at Li Ru, which was interesting.

A smart person speaks clearly. Jia Xu knows what Li Ru really means. Li Ru also has this position.

Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's planner before, and he was responsible for poisoning King Hongnong Liu Bian. If Zhang Xiu fell, Li Ru would be the first to be affected.

The Han Dynasty continued to exist, which was no good for Li Ru. Zhang Xiu had a domineering ambition, which was not a secret in the court and the country.

Since that's the case, why not go further and help Sima Zhang, move the magic weapon of the country to the Zhang family, and change Liu to Zhang?

Of course, Jia Xu also had this idea, which was determined by his personality. He had nothing to be attached to the Han Dynasty. On the contrary, although Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong and others realized Zhang Xiu's ambitions and would support him, they did not dare to think about it at the moment.

The two of them hit it off.

But Jia Xu said calmly: "Sir, I'm drunk, there is no [public] in the Han Dynasty."

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and Emperor Gao had the world. He was granted the title of King of Different Clans. Later, 99% of Kings of Different Clans were destroyed by Emperor Gao. The emperor and the scholars and officials were not kings.

The King of Liu was the princes. They called themselves "the widow" and "the lonely king". They had land, but had no actual control.

Then there were the Marquis of Leju, who also had land, but had no actual control.

There is also Neihou, and they don’t even have a land.

There are many titles under Guanneihou, but they are not worth mentioning.

Between kings and marquis, there was no duke in the Han Dynasty.

"The fifth grade was started, and the [public] was called first, and then the country was established, and he gradually eroded the Han Dynasty." Li Ru had great support for Zhang Xiu. He opened his eyes and looked at Jia Xu with bright eyes.

Before this, he was Dong Zhuo's planner. He tried his best to plan for Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's death, he belonged to Zhang Xiu, and he was considered to be a minister of the two dynasties.

During this period, Li Ru felt the biggest difference that he felt was that Dong Zhuo was acting randomly, while Zhang Xiu was quite well-organized. He appointed generals and was all elite.

Now when he watches the government and the people who hold heavy power, they are Zhang Xiu's party members. The Han ministers have been marginalized and the political soil has been formed.

Only flowers and fruits remain.

As long as Zhang Xiu can keep winning, he can call on the wind and rain in politics and gradually erode the Han Dynasty. He first called him [Public] and then founded the country.

After pacifying Yizhou, you can establish the country with the credit of [Pingyizhou].

The so-called opening of the fifth grade is the path Cao Cao took. The wise people have similar views. Li Ru did not know history, but used his own talents to pave the way for Zhang Xiu.

During the Zhou Dynasty, the titles were divided into five levels. There were dukes, marquis, bons, zis, and men. The Chu State of Zhou Dynasty, whose titles were originally viscounts, called [Chu Zi].

These fifth-class titles were actually inherited from China. Later people thought that the translation was convenient, so they copied these fifth-class titles and translated European and American titles.

First, he established the fifth grade and was called Duke. Then he imitated the Zhou Dynasty and established the [Duke]. Li Ru even thought about Zhang Xiu's fiefdom, and was called [Duke of Qin]. Later, he established the country, established the ancestral temple, the country, established hundreds of officials, and eroded the Han Dynasty.

There is no need to say anything in front of the wise man. Both of them are smart people, with the same position, and are wearing the same pair of pants. Jia Xu did not say anything falsely, but said sincerely: "Sir, what are you going to do?"

"We cannot let the Grand Sima tell you about this matter. We will first connect with our ministers and submit a letter to the emperor, and let the emperor issue an edict to enthrone the Grand Sima."

Li Ru let out a breath and showed joy between his eyebrows. Just as Jia Xu agreed, Jia Xu was a heavyweight compared to him.

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, there is someone I highly recommend."

"Who?" Li Ru asked with a look of his face and bowed.

"Chief Cai Mao." Jia Xu smiled slightly on his face, and said, "Although this person looks inconspicuous, he is actually a powerful person. His sister is very favored and belongs to the Sima confidant. Everyone will give him some shame. He is also good at running around and can contact him in the center."

"I understand." Li Ru nodded and wrote down the matter. Then, the two of them left the room together without much nonsense.

Cai Mao is the chief clerk, and his office is in the Grand Sima Mansion. Li Ru didn't have to go anywhere else, so he went to find Cai Mao directly.

Li Ru would definitely see Jia Xu if he wanted to see him, let alone Cai Mao. Cai Mao was originally dealing with documents, and the chief clerk did this. When he heard that Li Ru came, Cai Mao was surprised at first, and then did not dare to neglect him. Li Ru seemed inconspicuous, but in fact he was a person who held huge power, equivalent to the governor of Sili.

"Li Changshi's arrival is so bright." Although it is not very suitable, this place is Zhang Xiu's mansion after all, Cai Mao hurriedly and said politely. Then, he invited Li Ru in and sat down.

Li Ru didn't say nonsense, and said his words to Jia Xu. Considering that Cai Mao was not smart enough, he explained the operational problems.

After hearing this, Cai Mao was of course like a thunderbolt. He was very naughty and didn't dare to think so far, nor did he dare to think about Zhang Xiu's future.

But then Cai Mao's blood was boiling. If Zhang Xiu really had such a day in the future, he would be a founding hero.

He gave his sister to Zhang Xiu as his concubine, and everyone in the world laughed at him. Once Zhang Xiu founded and became emperor, he would be a royal relative.

My sister is Zhang Xiu’s concubine, who dares to laugh at him?

Moreover, although Cai Mao was not intelligent, he still had a little vision. Zhang Xiu was in charge of Luoyang and opened up the West. He had the former Qin Kingdom, where he could attack and retreat to defend.

The overlord's cause has actually been formed.

With Zhang Xiu Mingluo, Cai Mao did not believe that Zhang Xiu would fail.

"Okay. I'll contact you in the middle. Please ask all the ministers to write to the emperor and enthrone the Grand Sima as Duke of Qin." Cai Mao nodded heavily and said without thinking.

"Okay." Li Ru also showed joy and nodded. Then Li Ru left. After that, Cai Mao was not alone in contacting each other, and Li Ru and Jia Xu also made efforts.

After all, the two of them are very influential in the Liangzhou order. They learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and contact the government and the country.

Li Ru was actually testing Zhang Xiu for this matter. Zhang Xiu would definitely know about the three of them who had such a large-scale contact and connection.

Someone will definitely report to Zhang Xiu.

If Zhang Xiu disagrees, he will stop it. If Zhang Xiu agrees, he will definitely be happy to see it.

Zhang Xiu was indifferent to the matter that made Li Ru, Jia Xu and Cai Mao secretly happy.

That is, it's a default?

This is easy to deal with. Hurry up and call him Duke, Sima Zhang.
