I have heard that rebels rise and virtuous people live.
In the past, when Zhu Lu was in chaos, Ping Bo rose up; when he was reckless and usurped the dynasty, Dou Rong was worried.
Because his loyal ministers are not loyal, the country is in trouble
…
After Lu Bu claimed to be loyal and good, he came from a good family and did not know the righteousness. Once he became powerful, he acted like a villain. His son-in-law Chu Nan was a humble merchant...
Xuchang, Imperial Palace.
Kong Rong read out Yuan Shao's campaign against Yuan Shao in a mellow tone. The more the old man read it, the more excited he became, and his face turned red. Chu Nan looked at this man and even wondered if he was going to scream after finishing reading it, so he shouted and wrote
Good?
Above the court, Lu Bu's eyes gradually turned cold and stern.
This statement is indeed poorly written. If a scholar scolds someone, you may not be able to hear the other person scolding you if you don't have any literary background.
Although Lu Bu was lacking in strategy and politics, he still had some ink in his belly. In the essay, he was scolded from his birth to three generations of his ancestors, which was not enough. He also criticized Lu Bu's killing of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo in the past.
.
Originally, due to Chu Nan's public opinion cleansing, this matter had gradually been forgotten by the world, and Lu Bu's reputation began to change to that of the White Lotus God of War, and he was deeply loved by the people.
Now Yuan Shao is writing an essay, digging out all these old accounts. Eight generations of ancestors have been scolding each other. There is not a single curse word in the whole article, but every word has left scars on people.
Coupled with the slightly mocking looks from many courtiers, even though Lu Bu was now cultivating his moral integrity and focusing on his cultivation without caring about external things, he didn't feel his anger rising at this moment.
Of course, Chu Nan, who had also been greeted by his eight generations of ancestors, was not necessarily in a good mood. It was just that he was used to being shameless and had a strong immunity to the abuse and denunciation of others. Although he was angry, he was still
I could hold it back and even began to think and analyze the content of this edict.
His humanistic skills in writing imperial edicts are undoubtedly excellent. An article that curses eight generations of ancestors has the feeling of being written as a famous article.
Therefore, if you care about your reputation after your death, it is best not to offend scholars, especially such powerful scholars. They may not have great abilities, but they must have the ability to make you infamous for thousands of years.
In addition to the good writing style, there is another point. This article is mainly based on Lu Bu. In other words, Yuan Shao's recognized opponent is Lu Bu and not Chu Nan.
However, although Lu Bu gave up power to Chu Nan and voluntarily withdrew from the center of power, although it was not stated clearly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was already an established fact.
There is no way this kind of propaganda that has spread all over the world has such a big loophole. In other words, it is intentional.
In addition to disgusting myself, it also means to provoke.
After finishing reading an essay, Kong Rong wanted to express his opinion, but was interrupted by Chu Nan.
"Mr. Wen Ju, that's it. If you don't know, I thought this memorial was written by Wen Ju Gong." Chu Nan interrupted Kong Rong's preparation to express his thoughts after reading. The elbows of the Minister of Rites must be facing outward.
Click him to confirm.
"This man's literary talents are rare in ancient and modern times. I am ashamed to say he is inferior to him." Kong Rong smiled slightly and looked at Chu Nan.
"So, I have always doubted whether the Kong family is really the queen of Confucius." Chu Nan shook his head helplessly: "How many people are inferior to Wen Ju Gong now? If I were Wen Ju Gong, I would have killed the ground with my head.
Rather than flattering others here, I don’t know what your lord thinks, but from what I hear, there is always a feeling that a sage is nothing more than this."
After saying that, he no longer stared at Kong Rong, who was about to be angry to death again. He saluted Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao has evil intentions in doing this. I hope your Majesty will tell you clearly."
Liu Xie nodded silently. He has gone through ups and downs all the way to where he is today. He is used to fighting in the officialdom. He is no longer the childish emperor he was. He knows very well that whether in the hands of Chu Nan or Yuan Shao, he is just a puppet.
.
He hates Chu Nan for no reason. He doesn't know when he started. Whenever he sees Chu Nan, he feels repulsion and... fear from the bottom of his heart, as if the other person is his nemesis.
At this time, facing Chu Nan's inquiry, he just nodded and said: "Although I am young, I also know that the general's actions are against loyalty."
"In that case, I ask the imperial court to take back all the titles given to the Yuan family!" Chu Nan bowed and said: "From now on, the imperial court will never hire any children of the Yuan family!"
He was talking about the Yuan family, not Yuan Shao, which included many children of the Yuan family who were not in Jizhou. If there was no great chaos in the world, and if the court's words were still effective, if this edict was issued, even if it was impossible to really abolish the Yuan family,
It can also force the Yuan family to rebel.
Even now, directly cutting off all the official positions of the Yuan family is a complete break with Yuan Shao, and they will fight to the death.
Of course, this is a fight to the death.
"No!" Before Liu Xie could speak, Kong Rong came out with a calm face and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, even though they were rude at first, the Yuan family served as the imperial court and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. They have worked hard for the imperial court for several generations.
, assisting in government affairs, how can one's official career be cut off due to one's own selfish interests?"
"Mr. Wenju, do you know what you are talking about?" Chu Nan looked at Kong Rong in disbelief: "Do you know why this message came from?"
"The article has made it very clear that Duke Yuan attacked Marquis Wen and Lingjun of Chu, but not His Majesty," Kong Rong said with a sneer.
"Then guess, if your Duke Yuan breaks into Xuchang one day, how will he treat His Majesty?" Chu Nan looked at him and said.
"I will return the government to your majesty, the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, and I will not be like a mediocre person." Kong Rong turned around and saluted Liu Xie.
"That makes sense." Chu Nan clapped his hands, looked at Liu Xie, and said with a slight salute: "In that case, why don't you send Your Majesty and the Manchu ministers to Jizhou to put an end to the war?"
"No!" Before Kong Rong could say anything, Zhao Wen had already come out and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao is treasonous and immoral, and he deserves to be punished. I ask your Majesty to issue an edict to all the princes in the world to punish this thief, and to remove all his official titles. Yuan Shao
The children of our family will never be hired!"
Chu Nan nodded, looked at Kong Rong and said with a smile: "It seems that among all the princes, not all are mediocre people who deceive the world and steal their reputation."
"Situ..." Kong Rong looked at Zhao Wen in shock.
Zhao Wen ignored him. He knew very well that Chu Nan was becoming less and less dependent on the emperor. If he wanted to send him away, he might really be able to throw the emperor away. But if Yuan Shao wins the emperor, it is really possible that he can directly replace the emperor.
If Yuan Shao succeeded the Han Dynasty, what should people like them do? Should they oppose it or support it?
Those who oppose it will probably not end well, but if they support it, they and other Han ministers may be nailed to the pillar of shame.
It's okay to argue with Chu Nan, but in this matter, even if they want Yuan Shao to come over, they can't surrender on their own initiative. Instead, after Yuan Shao captures Xuchang and forces the emperor to give up his throne, if they have no choice but to surrender, what's the point?
It was Yuan Shao who took the blame, not them. Once this process changed, the meaning also changed.
To put it another way, if you go over eagerly and someone else invites you, they are two different treatments.
We can't let Kong Rong, an old troll, just make Chu Nan angry and pack them up with the emperor and send them to Yecheng.
As for the officials and titles of the Yuan family, if Yuan Shao wins this battle, will he still need to worry about these?
Of course, if Yuan Shao loses, this will have a great impact on Yuan Shao, but if Yuan Shao loses, the impact will be great no matter what.
"What Chu Qing said is quite reasonable. Yuan Benchu committed rebellion and plotted rebellion. He was an unforgivable person. Therefore, according to Chu Qing's words, Yuan Shao was deprived of the title of General Yuan Shao and Yehou, and all the children of the Yuan family were dismissed.
Officials and nobles will never be hired." Liu Xie nodded and immediately issued an edict.
Yuan Shao's behavior can be regarded as rebellion.
"I wonder who is willing to write an imperial edict and spread it to the world?" Liu Xie looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Like Yuan Shao's appeal against thieves, this edict against Yuan Shao was also spread throughout the world, and it asked all the princes in the world to attack Yuan Shao. From a legal perspective, Liu Xie's edict from the emperor was naturally more appealing.
However, when the officials heard this, they were dumbfounded. Although Yuan Shao's writing skills were good, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, among other things, there were only a handful of good writers.
But you have to write it in a painless way, which will weaken your own momentum. After all, people will almost point their fingers at you and scold you.
But if the scolding is too harsh, then as the person who wrote the edict, if Yuan Shao wins afterwards, he will definitely settle the score, and among all the princes present, who is not close to the Yuan family and has some anecdotes about this kind of article?
, naturally it is difficult to write.
It's best not to respond and just call.
But Chu Nan obviously doesn't want to suffer a loss like this. If the emperor has such a good resource and doesn't use it, it will be useless after it expires. It has not been officially launched yet. Let's make Yuan Shao sick first and see if he can be angry to death.
"Since there is no one in the court, your majesty might as well wait for a day, and I will teach my clerks to write an edict." Chu Nan saluted Liu Xie: "But your majesty, the problems in the court should be cleaned up.
After all, all the princes in the dynasty are very famous people, but they can't even draft an imperial edict. What's the use of keeping it? After this battle, I will discuss with your majesty about the liquidation, and I will definitely clear it up.
What an evil atmosphere in the court!"
At the end of his speech, he turned his attention to Kong Rong.
"What are you looking at me for?" Kong Rong was dissatisfied with Chu Nan's rude look and snorted coldly.
"There is no successor to the sage!" Chu Nan shook his head and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, since the position of General Yuan Shao has been removed, I think that in the world, apart from Marquis Wen, there is no one who can hold this position.
If there is no one else, I would like to ask Your Majesty to promote Marquis Wen to the post of General!"
This time, the officials rarely refuted. Lu Bu seemed to be well-deserved for the position of general, whether based on merit or ability. It had nothing to do with Chu Nan. As long as that guy is reasonable, he will be reasonable, but
Lu Bu is not in a good mood right now? He wants to kill someone in public, who can stop him?
So all the ministers acquiesced in this matter.
Lu Bu was sulking. It wasn't until Liu Xie made him a general that he came to his senses. He looked at Chu Nan doubtfully and asked, "Is he... now a general?"
