Within two days, Ma Mao resigned from his position as Sima of the Prime Minister's Office and was assigned to be the city gate captain.
The subordinate officials of the Jin Palace in the Xiangguo Mansion are the officials closest to Qin Liang and can be described as confidants. As long as they leave the Liang Mansion, they can all take up important positions, it is just a matter of time. It is more convenient for those who have not yet changed to court officials.
Participate in the planning of the prime minister's government.
In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Liang found another document, which was the list compiled by Chen Qian. When Qin Liang was granted the title of King and Jiuxi, he had gone to the list of people who had persuaded him to join the list. He read the list carefully again before putting it away.
Leave the attic.
The key positions have been arranged, but Qin Liang is still a little nervous for no reason at this time.
When he walked out of the door, he would occasionally notice the simple buildings among the green leaves, and he would feel in a trance. That uneasy mood was an inexplicable feeling. Qin Liang believed that many people had reached this final step.
All powerful officials will have it!
Therefore, if it were not for the unexpected fermentation of public opinion, Qin Liang would still want to proceed more steadily. But the current situation makes him believe that things should be accelerated.
At this point, there is no way out, and retreat will lead to a dead end! And directly ascending to the big position is safer than being a powerful minister.
After all, when you are a powerful official, the opponents can at least find various excuses to carry out conspiracy, such as supporting the country and eradicating traitorous officials. But if Qin Liang becomes the emperor, then the opponents will be treason! There are almost no other methods left.
Raising troops and starting a civil war is one way to go, which is exactly what Liu Xiu and others did to overthrow the new dynasty.
Once you are proclaimed emperor and sit firmly for a period of time, the world will gradually get used to the new dynasty, and the entire system will also develop inertia. The same is true for Cao Wei.
At that time, there were still many old officials of the Han Dynasty who were attracted to the Han Dynasty, and even the Shu Han Dynasty was established in Yizhou. However, ten or twenty years after the founding of the country, the Northern Shang Dynasty had already identified with the Wei Dynasty.
Qin Liang restrained his inner emotions and tried his best to avoid the influence of negative worries or inflated mentality. As he walked, he thought about it calmly.
A sudden change of dynasty will indeed have an impact on many people's hearts, and may become an opportunity to call for resistance! However, anyone who takes risks with the three tribes must have clear demands and sufficient benefits; he must also have prestige and strength, and carry out the plan in advance
Deployment, otherwise it would be impossible to convince the public, let alone let people follow him to death. If there is such a powerful person, Qin Liang has not noticed it for so long? He thought about it carefully and found no such person!
Even Sima Yi, during the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Ming when the emperor held real power, could only do it first!
Nowadays, in Luoyang, only the three families that are really powerful are left in Yangzhou. Among them, the Wang family is still the largest force after Qin Liang. However, the Wang family and the Linghu family have taken the initiative to express their support for Qin Liang. Think about your father-in-law.
Wang Gongyuan, faced with a political opponent like Sima Yi who had core contradictions, was also willing to surrender. It is unlikely that he would want to oppose his son-in-law.
Moreover, the failure of a large force often shows signs very early and follows a gradual evolution process.
For example, there are people everywhere openly expressing their anger, and a group of people are crying there, and then people like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao stand up. Originally, everyone became warlords when they destroyed the Yellow Turbans. If we talk about justice together, we can mobilize people.
The people of Tong Daohe are doing great things together! The only one who can fight against the organization is another organization!

When Qin Liang walked to the southwest of the high platform, he suddenly saw Fei's figure next to the pavilion.
After Qin Liang entered the inner house, he dismissed and followed the maid. He had been thinking about his own business and didn't pay attention to the things around him. Fei was looking at the scenery, as if looking at the remaining peach blossoms, and didn't notice Qin Liang coming.
Both of them looked a little surprised. Fei raised her head and looked at Qin Liang, then hurriedly bowed her knees and said, "I pay my respects to the king."
Qin Liang returned the gift with his hand, turned to look at the petals on the ground and the withered peach blossoms on the branches, and said casually: "Although the peach blossoms have withered, the begonias will bloom again, and summer has the beauty of summer."
Sure enough, Fei Shi smiled immediately and said softly: "The king's words really make sense."
Qin Liang was not an optimistic person originally, but he could say optimistic words.
Looking at the teenage Fei Shi, the surprise and admiration in the watery eyes under the delicate and slightly thick eyebrows, Qin Liang was very impressed for a while. Fei Shi didn't need to say anything, her expression could make people feel it.
to her state of mind.
Thinking back to more than ten years ago, Qin Liang couldn't even handle Chaoyun. At that time, he was even younger and more handsome. He simply couldn't imagine that the eldest daughter of the Shuhan general would willingly become a concubine.
The letter written by Qin Liang and the appearance Fei saw of him may have been the direct reason for her attraction; but of course there was a premise: his status at the time, the general of the Wei State, swept the power of the Shu and Han Dynasties.
Etc. Women may not always weigh the pros and cons in this kind of matter, but they are indeed more likely to respect stronger people.
If you are the emperor, you will have an aura given by God. The emperor is the emperor, and disrespect can even be openly punished.
.Qin Liang couldn't help but let out a breath and secretly controlled the emotions in his heart.
He remembered what Empress Dowager Guo said, changing from the Empress Dowager back to the Queen, as if time was going back. Qin Liang himself, too? Now it seems that he has returned to life, and has regained the impulse and desire of his youth.
The two walked slowly away from the pavilion. Fei suddenly whispered: "I feel that what I did is not right. I get up so late every morning. It seems that I shouldn't be like this. But I feel good, as if it is a matter of course. Maybe it is.
Because both the Queen and Mrs. Wang are like this?"
Qin Liang responded: "I didn't do anything harmful to nature. What's wrong? Don't think so much."
Fei raised her head and glanced at Qin Liang, her eyes a little blurry, then she lowered her eyes to the ground and said softly "Alas".
Soon they approached the west courtyard, and Qin Liang said: "Let's go into the courtyard together and have dinner together later. You don't have to go back to your residence."
Fei looked a little shy and said softly: "I will go back and change my clothes first. Come over for dinner in the evening."
Qin Liang nodded and said, "That's fine." The two of them bowed and said goodbye first, agreeing to meet in the evening.
After entering the courtyard, Lingjun walked forward and met Xuanji in the corridor. Xuanji was also here and followed her out. Qin Liang had long been accustomed to Lingjun's meticulous etiquette. After greeting him with greetings, he went to the attic hall on the north side.
Waiting for dinner here.
The two of them went to take out a jar of unsealed wine, and wanted to pour a cup of wine for Qin Liang to drink first. Xuan Ji quickly took out the wine jar and pulled out the cork wrapped in cloth. She had to be more impatient in her work.
Your Majesty, as usual, calmly knelt down and placed the wine cup on the table.
The preparations made by Qin Liang, Jia Chong and others have been completed
He had already told Lingjun and Xuanji that no matter what secrets he had, he would almost never hide it from them. Qin Liang watched them doing trivial matters and mentioned: "In a few days, I will go to inspect the embankment of the river. Your Majesty will follow
I’ll go with you.”
Lingjun nodded and said "hmm" and glanced sideways at Xuan Ji.
Xuan Ji's voice said: "It's almost April, and I'm not going for a spring outing. I'm just at home. Otherwise, why don't you bring Mrs. Sheep and Mrs. Fei with you? They all have the same identity. If Zhong Ming wants to bring him with him,
There are several women, I’m afraid it’s not convenient.”
As soon as she spoke, Qin Liang couldn't help but pay attention to the voice itself. Xuanji's voice was gentle and her words were really nice. What she said was somewhat reasonable. After all, Yang Huiyu and Fei's status was the same as Xuanji's, but
This is not the point.
Qin Liang then said: "I am still different from others. It's just that this time I have something serious to do and I have to come back that day. The time has been spent on the dusty road. I didn't want to bring a female family with me. But it suddenly occurred to me that it might be more convenient for you to accompany me.
good."
Xuanji quickly resealed the wine jar, walked over and knelt down next to Qin Liang, her eyes flicked across Qin Liang's face, and said softly: "Zhong Ming, just settle down and do great things."
Seeing Xuan Ji's concerned look, Qin Liang pretended to be calm and said: "This time is different from before. Everything that needs to be done has been completed. The situation is like this and the general trend is the general trend. It is just a process. Don't worry, sir."
Lingjun's single-lidded eyes were very bright, with some complicated emotions: "When I first met Zhongming in Huainan, my father said some good things to you, and I knew that my father wanted to marry me to you. Then
I never thought that in ten years I would be able to reach
Today’s step.”
Hearing what Ling Jun said, Qin Liang also remembered a lot of past events, and felt as if he was in another world.
...On the day of the inspection of the river embankment, people only knew about the itinerary, as if it was Qin Liang's impromptu decision. He was accompanied by several subordinate officials, as well as the school official Ling Yinci, the subordinate governor of Qida, and Jian Pei led the cavalry as escort. Qin Liang
Traveling in a carriage with your Majesty, the simplicity of the ceremony is not eye-catching.
Before leaving, Qin Liang asked people to go to the lakeside next to the high platform, picked some irises, and found some light-colored wild flowers and grass leaves as decorations, and wrapped a large bouquet of flowers in white paper. At that time, he could only find irises and crabapples.
It's even more unsuitable for someone with a glamorous reputation, and I'm too lazy to care about that much.
The more times like this, the more Qin Liang has to do small things. When people see that he still has a leisurely mind, they will think that the king has a plan in mind, is calm and leisurely, and confidence is still very important.
So after a group of people left the city through Jianchun Gate, they first walked northeast along the main road. When the group reached an intersection, Qin Liang left the carriage where it was. Lingjun, who was wearing a curtain hat, also abandoned the carriage and rode on horseback. The small group walked north on a small road.
Mountain.
Yinci led the way, and everyone finally found a dilapidated mountain village. After several years, this place has hardly changed, and it is probably still the same as before, with only some dilapidated mud walls and thatched cottages.
However, Qin Liang and others did not enter the village this time, and went to the back mountain on their own. Yinci looked around for a while, pointed to an earthen grave covered with grass and said, "Your Majesty, this should be here."
Qin Liang did not use any etiquette, and did not light any incense. He just placed the prepared bouquet in front of the grave. The person buried in the soil was a bride who was murdered by the school official Yin Mo. Qin Liang killed Yin Mo.
, personally avenged the deceased, but he never came here again. If he hadn't done this, he might not have been so easy to talk to when he met Lu Ning and others in the Qinling Mountains. Today he is going to the north of Mang Mountain,
I just happened to take a walk a little further to have a look.
People are often like this. When they want to go somewhere, they always want to have a definite destination and something planned, otherwise they won’t want to go.
