When Jia Xu planned to intercept and kill hundreds of officials, Ma Rixi was actually on the list to be killed. However, Ma Rixi had a strong sense of crisis, so he had prepared a substitute who looked very similar to him.
.
On the day when the officials were intercepted and killed, Ma Rixi saw that the situation was not going well, so he quickly exchanged identities with his double. As a result, the double was killed on his behalf, while the real Ma Rixi escaped.
After that, Ma Rixi had returned to Luoyang. If he were to kill him again, Liu Xie would definitely be suspicious, so Jia Xu did not continue to target Ma Rixi.
As the only veteran who returned to Luoyang alive, Ma Rixi was said to be a mature man.
What Ma Rixi just said seemed reasonable and well-founded, but it also completely blocked Qin Hao's path to becoming king.
He first said that the ancestral system should not be broken except when the country is subjugated. So, doesn’t Qin Hao becoming king mean that the country will be subjugated and the dynasty will be changed?
In addition, Ma Rixi ostensibly handed over the choice to Qin Hao, saying that Qin Hao did not necessarily want to be crowned king, but in fact he did not give Qin Hao much room for choice. He only wanted to reward him with food.
Offset Qin Hao's contribution.
You know, Qin Hao's current food estate has reached one million dan, and it makes no sense for Qin Hao to continue to increase his food estate.
After Qin Hao heard what Ma Rixi said, he naturally understood the meaning behind his words. This old guy wanted to force himself to refuse the title of king in person.
Ma Rixi did not have any grudges with Qin Hao. On the contrary, not long after Qin Wen became an official, he spoke to Qin Wen, who was helping people in the court and was a low-key person. Therefore, Qin Wen had a very good personal relationship with Ma Rixi, and he really cared about the Qin family.
Very kind.
Not only did Ma Rixi have no objection to Qin Hao, but he also believed that Qin Hao was the last savior of the Han Dynasty. The reason why he was determined to oppose Qin Hao becoming king was because he understood that Qin Hao would have no title after becoming king.
At that time, whether Qin Hao is willing or not, his subordinates will force him to replace the Han Dynasty and restore the dynasty in order to become a minister of Conglong.
Therefore, in Ma Rixi's view, whether it is for the Han Dynasty or for Qin Hao, preventing Qin Hao from becoming king is a step that all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty must not retreat from.
Qin Hao was not interested in Ma Rixi's idea. He actually had the idea of becoming king. After all, he was about to marry Emperor Ming and then recruit 100,000 Ming troops in Jizhou.
But there is a huge difference between marrying Emperor Ming as a duke and marrying Emperor Ming as a prince.
Although the duke is equal to the king, he is still a minister, and although the king is under the emperor, he is still the king.
The two are not the same.
In addition, after marrying the Ming Dynasty and marrying Emperor Ming, the placement of Emperor Ming is also a big problem.
After all, Emperor Ming was an emperor. He couldn't be a concubine after marrying Qin Hao, right?
Giving Emperor Ming the position of head wife was the basis for the recruitment of the Jizhou Ming Army. This was not possible at all, and the Jizhou Ming Army would not be able to sincerely surrender to Qin Hao.
However, Qin Hao already had a wife, and she was also a princess of the Han Dynasty. Under the circumstances that Liu Mu had not lost his moral character, Qin Hao would definitely be criticized if he abandoned his wife who was a loser.
This is almost an unsolvable problem, and the only way Qin Hao can solve it is to become king. After all, 'the law does not add respect to the king'.
The rites are not given to the common people; the punishments are not given to the officials; the law is not given to the respected ones;
This is the unspoken rule of the bureaucracy;
The Venerable, that is, the Emperor, is the maker of all laws, so the laws that are made cannot naturally apply to him.
The problem Qin Hao is facing now is difficult to say and simple to say, and becoming king is undoubtedly the easiest way.
Only by proclaiming himself king could Qin Hao solve this unsolvable problem. At the same time, he would give both Liu Mu and Emperor Ming the title of his wife, so he must proclaim himself king before marrying Emperor Ming.
Qin Hao, who was well aware of this, made some preparations in order to become king. He successively transferred Xun Yu and Fu Wan away from Luoyang. However, he did not expect that without these two people, there would still be two people, Kong Rong and Ma Rixi.
Big resistance.
Kong Rong was actually fine. Neither his ability nor his character were enough to threaten Qin Hao. However, Ma Rixi was different. His words just now had blocked Qin Hao's path to becoming king. Although
There will definitely be opportunities in the future, but this time is obviously not the right time to discuss the matter of becoming king.
"What Taiwei Ma said is right. I have no intention of becoming king. The matter of becoming king should not be discussed. I will not agree to it."
Qin Hao said firmly, but he was secretly worried about Ma Rixi and was ready to think of a way to prevent him from hindering him.
Hearing what Qin Hao said so firmly, although all the ministers in the court felt unwilling to do so, they could only stop there. After all, being crowned king is not a trivial matter. There are three things to do. This is only the second time, and there will definitely be a third time.
This time.
Qin Hao refused to be crowned king, but Liu Xie looked regretful. Kong Rong and Ma Rixi both breathed a sigh of relief. As for Liu Bei, he kept his head down and didn't know what he was thinking.
There was a strange look in Qin Hao's eyes, and he ordered the system: "Detect Liu Bei's fifth dimension."
[Okay, Liu Bei’s peak five dimensions: commander 88, force 85, intelligence 89, politics 95, charm 98;
The current five dimensions of Liu Bei are: Commander 90, Force 92, Intelligence 92, Politics 97, Charisma 99;]
It has to be said that the duel with Zhu Yuanzhang undoubtedly stimulated Liu Bei's great potential, and his five-dimensional performance increased by a total of 14 points compared to his peak period.
Liu Bei ignores that he is a man who cherishes his life very much, but Qin Hao Penguin heard that Liu Bei not only personally fought as a general, but also killed Zhu Yuanzhang's general Tang Bi. This shows how far Zhu Yuanzhang pushed Liu Bei.
Now Liu Bei's five dimensions have all exceeded 90, and he is already a figure that cannot be ignored, but even so, he was easily defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and was driven out of Xuzhou like a dog.
When Liu Bei came under Qin Hao's command, he was even more cautious, fearing that he would arouse Qin Hao's fear and lose his life.
Regarding Liu Bei, the only thing Qin Hao cared about was to use him to win victory. After all, if he wanted to fully exert the effect of the "Five Tigers Breaking the Ultimate", the five tiger generals must gather together.
At present, among the five tiger generals, Guan Yu has become the God of War, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Fei are all top generals, and Ma Chao has gradually grown up.
The five tiger generals who had not yet grown up at the time only dispatched the four tigers, and they were not at all timid against Xiang Yu, who was number one in the world.
Now the Five Tigers have become more powerful. If the Five Tigers go out together and are alone, I am afraid that no one in the world can be their opponent, not even Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba.
Of course, Qin Hao also knows how difficult it is to conquer Guan and Zhang, so he is also prepared to fail. It is best to do it naturally. If not, he can only destroy the "Five Tigers". After all, getting the Five Tigers is just for him.
