It was a bit regretful that Tian Feng and Ju Shou were not able to surrender. However, if they had time, these two people could not figure it out, so they should continue to stay in the prison. Chu Nan asked his family to be taken to Xuchang, and they could visit them at any time. As for
How effective it will be, we can only wait for time to verify.
Chu Nan actually does not lack high-end talents now. Wen has Chen Gong, Liu Ye, Guo Jia, the upcoming Jia Xu, and Xu Shu, who has just made progress in his career.
There are Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Yu Jin and other generals from top to first-rate, and there are countless second-rate generals.
But Chu Nan still feels that it is not enough. Now that the world is changing every day, the future enemies may not necessarily be princes. If the human race really encounters a catastrophe, top and first-class talents will not be enough. This is his response to Tian Feng and Ju Shou.
The reason why he was so tolerant was also the reason why he was tolerant to the Xun family in the first place.
The New Year is approaching. With the Central Plains under the governance of Chu Nan, the products are becoming more and more abundant, and the life of the people has also improved visibly. Although the New Year has passed in the past, it was mostly a festival for the wealthy. For ordinary people, eating the most
It's a good meal, and now at least in Xuchang City, we can feel some festive atmosphere.
Above the market, people were everywhere buying goods, and some new industries naturally emerged as a result.
Of course, not everyone can appreciate this festive atmosphere.
Royal Palace, Dexin Hall.
"What on earth does he want to do!?" Liu Xie slammed the edict Chu Nan pushed back to the ground and roared: "This is the second time. I have already agreed to make him the prime minister. What else does he want to do? Do you want me to abdicate?
?Okay, I will retreat now!"
After he worshiped Chu Nan as prime minister for the first time and was pushed back by Chu Nan, hundreds of officials jointly petitioned, saying that now only the position of prime minister was worthy of Chu Nan's status. Liu Xie also obeyed, but Chu Nan felt like it was the first time.
, declined the reward from the imperial court, saying that he was not worthy of the position of prime minister due to his poor moral character.
"Your Majesty, maybe your Majesty really just doesn't want to sit in this position of prime minister." Yang Rang reminded him carefully.
"Why don't you want to sit down? He just wants more!" Liu Xie kicked over the table, and hundreds of officials jointly recommended him. The emperor issued two edicts. If Chu Nan really didn't want to do it, he should go to court to explain it instead of hiding.
If he doesn't come out from home, others will make things difficult for him as the emperor, and the world will think that he doesn't want to.
Besides, everyone was rewarded for their great achievements in pacifying the north, but Chu Nan was not. This reward edict was not written by him, but by Chu Nan. How could he deliberately pull him down? This is obviously unreasonable.
Liu Xie can be sure that Chu Nan definitely wants the position of prime minister. The reason for this reasoning is just to build momentum for himself. But even if he wants to build momentum, even if Liu Xie's coup fails, two invitations are enough.
Showing sincerity, Chu Nan still relied on evidence, which made Liu Xie very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Perhaps... you feel that you are not sincere enough?" Yang Rang whispered.
Liu Xie suddenly turned around and stared at Yang Rang.
Yang Rang quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much."
Liu Xie snorted coldly, sat down again, closed his eyes for a moment and then said: "Inform the Ministry of Rites that there is also a Shaofu and Sikong Mansion. I will issue an edict to worship Chu Nan as prime minister again, grant the title of Marquis of Pengcheng, add nine tins, and go to the hall with swords and shoes. Enter
If you don't follow the trend, you won't be praised! I want to see if Chu Nan can accept such an honor!"
The so-called Jiuxi is originally a high-level reward given by the emperor to the princes, including chariots and horses, clothing, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nabi, tigers and swords, axes and axes, missing bows, and bad horses.
In addition, going to the palace with swords and shoes, entering the court without being followed, and being praised without fame are the highest-level rewards for ministers. However, not many people in history can receive these rewards. The earliest one is Zhou Gongdan, but not everyone is qualified to receive them.
To hold this honor, the most famous person in modern times is Wang Mang.
As for the Marquis of Pengcheng, they belong to the County Marquis. After Liu Xiu's resurgence, the Marquises were divided into three levels: County Marquis, Township Marquis and Ting Marquis. Among them, the County Marquis was the most respected. At present, Lu Bu's Pingtao Marquis and Chen Gong's Pinghou were both
Although he was a county prince, the Pengcheng Hou of southern Chu took the county seat as his fiefdom. Although he was still a county prince, he took the county seat as his fiefdom, which was implicitly one level higher than other county princes.
Whether Chu Nan can accept this honor and reward depends on him. Anyway, I gave you what you asked for, and I gave it in excess. It depends on whether the people in the world will recognize it or not.
Yang Rang did not dare to say anything. After bowing, he trotted away to deliver the edict.
Now the Minister of Rites is still Kong Rong. After all, no matter what the reason was, Kong Rong really did not participate in the coup. Otherwise, Chu Nan would not be able to continue to hand over the Ministry of Rites to Kong Rong.
But Kong Rong didn't want to get involved in this recent incident, especially after Yang Biao sent the letter, and he was even more sure that this was Chu Nan's conspiracy to intimidate the emperor.
But for the emperor to pay homage to the prime minister, it was naturally impossible for Kong Rong, as the Minister of Rites, to continue to complain about illness.
But looking at the emperor's edict, Kong Rong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Your Majesty...how can your Majesty agree to him?" Kong Rong looked at the contents of the edict, his face flushed with anger. Even if Chu Nan had merit, how old was he? What virtues deserved this honor? Kong Rong's first reaction was that he should not
.
"Mr. Wen Ju." Sun Qian, who had already packed up and came to say goodbye to Kong Rong, smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "In my humble opinion, Chu Nan is in the spotlight at this time, so it is better not to compete with him. Your Majesty has issued an edict on this matter."
This is a foregone conclusion. If the Duke resists and fulfills Chu Nan's wish, wouldn't he give up the post of Minister of Rites? It is better to keep it useful and wait for the right time."
This was an edict issued by the emperor. If Kong Rong rejected it, it would be against the emperor's will. The first person to be affected was not Chu Nan, but the emperor.
And Chu Nanzheng could use this to legitimately win Kong Rong's position as Minister of Rites.
After all, Kong Rong is the only righteous man left in the court who is willing to fight against Chu Nan and continue to stand on the side of the emperor. If Kong Rong is captured by Chu Nan, there will be no one left in the court.
Support the emperor, and the court will completely become Chunan's court instead of the emperor's court.
After Kong Rong was silent for a long time after hearing this, he sighed helplessly, looked at Sun Qian and said, "Gongyou is leaving now?"
"I've been wandering around Xuchang for many days, and it's time to say goodbye." Sun Qian nodded.
"Gongyou told Xuande that although Chu Nan is now powerful, his actions are headstrong and will not be tolerated by the world. Sooner or later he will be defeated. Xuande should not be anxious and just wait for the changes." Kong Rong sighed.
"I have decided to inform my lord of this." Sun Qian nodded, bowed to Kong Rong, and left.
Looking at the direction Sun Qian left and the edict in his hand, Kong Rong sighed helplessly, feeling a little lost.
Three days before the end of the year, Liu Xie personally invited Chu Nan to go to court, recruit the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and worship Chu Nan as the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. This time, Chu Nan did not refuse, but in the presence of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Chu Nan thanked Liu Xie for the reward. So far,
The prime minister who had been deposed for a long time was once again appointed. Chu Nan was twenty-five years old and became the prime minister. Although he was not the youngest prime minister in history, he was definitely the most powerful prime minister.
At the same time, Chu Nan's visit to the prime minister also represented the arrival of a new era. The affairs of the six ministries were almost all handled by the prime minister's office. The relationship between the emperor and the courtiers was also weakened again with the establishment of the prime minister's office.
"From today on, it's time to call me Prime Minister." There were many guests in the Chu Mansion who came to congratulate him. Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan with some emotion.
At that time, he was just a merchant in Xiapi and had no way to become an official. However, he was abducted by Lu Lingqi by accident and officially entered the official career. It has been a few years. In the past, the merchants of Xiapi are now full of guests and powerful.
The ruling and opposition parties single-handedly ended the gentry era.
It's hard to say whether Chu Nan started this era or whether this era chose Chu Nan, but seeing his disciple's current achievements, Chen Gong was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Actually, I don't like this kind of atmosphere." On the attic, Chu Nan held his hand on the railing and looked down at the guests coming and going in the courtyard, including many celebrities. Chu Nan smiled and said, "Even if we know each other all over the world, how many people do we know well?"
Turning to look at Chen Gong, Chu Nan smiled and said: "Whether the teacher believes it or not, the disciple actually prefers the feeling when he was in Xiapi. Although he had nothing, he was at least working hard for a goal every day. However, when the goal is achieved,
At that time, I discovered that the best time is actually the process rather than the result. If the disciple had been born with the glory he has today, I am afraid he would not be able to do many of the things that others think are shocking."
"It's time to cultivate your mind." Chen Gong nodded, looked at Chu Nan and smiled: "What are you going to do next?"
"Stability in all directions, spring plowing is approaching, disciples are preparing to leave for Luoyang, then Chang'an, Xiliang, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou. Now that the situation is strong, we should be more cautious. Future crises will not appear clearly again.
To be honest, the disciple is a little arrogant now and needs to be alert all the time. People are always more willing to take an easier path. The same is true for the disciple. The higher you stand, the more things you can see, but it is difficult to get a full picture.
Looking at it now, everything in the world is prosperous. Everything in the world is friendly to us. But I should know that this is just because I am the prime minister. If I were still a commoner, the scene I would see would be a different world.
.”
"It's best if Ziyan understands." Chen Gong nodded with satisfaction. Many people can work hard and restrain their desires when they are in the trough, but when they are in glory, they are more likely to get lost, because the world will treat their ugliest and dirty side.
Hiding, why not eat minced meat is actually not ridiculous.
"When are you planning to leave?" Chen Gong asked.
"Tomorrow." Chu Nan said.
"So anxious?" Chen Gong asked in surprise.
"If it's later, I won't want to leave for fear of becoming lazy. Anyway, most of the world has been won, so why let yourself be so tired? People originally lived like that, so why bother to change in such a hurry?" Chu Nan said with a smile.
"Okay, be careful. There will be more people coveting Ziyan's life in the world now." Chen Gong nodded. As a disciple, he sees things clearly.
"Teacher, have you ever seen me careless in this regard?" Chu Nan smiled.
Chen Gong also laughed.
As the night gets darker, the guests gradually disperse, leaving only the dishes and cups in a mess. Only the servants of the Chu family are cleaning up the leftovers of the banquet. The end of the prosperity is often the end of the story, because people don't want to see what is left...
