Chapter 388 Lu Xuan is king and dominates the south!
Lu Xuan received the news of Yang Biao's arrival at the General's Mansion and came to the gate to greet him personally. Yang Biao held a talisman and summoned Lu Xuan on behalf of the emperor to confer Lu Xuan the title of King of Wu, ruling over the four states of Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou.
After Yang Biao read out the edict and Lu Xuan accepted it, Yang Biao pointed to the carriage behind him and introduced: "King Wu, the woman Tang Ji whom His Majesty has granted marriage to is in the carriage."
The attendant lifted up the carriage door curtain.
Tang Ji got out of the carriage.
She is twenty years old, wearing a plain robe, light makeup, and a large cloak to keep out the cold.
Tang Ji had an oval face and delicate eyebrows, which gave people a very soft feeling. But between her eyebrows, there seemed to be a touch of sadness that could not be resolved. Tang Ji became Liu Bian's concubine in her teens. After Liu Bian's death, she
When she returned to her hometown, her father wanted her to remarry several times.
However, Tang Ji refused.
This time, Tang Ji was granted a marriage to Lu Xuan by the court and became Lu Xuan's concubine. Tang Ji could not refuse and had no choice but to come south.
Tang Ji bowed and said, "I'm here to pay my respects to the King of Wu."
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw Tang Ji. This woman gave people a different feeling, as if she was born with deep sorrow, and I felt pity for the weak Liu Fufeng, as if she was a sick beauty.
Lu Xuan nodded and did not say much to Tang Ji. He looked at Yang Biao and said, "When Mr. Yang arrives in Shu County, why not stay and witness me offering sacrifices to heaven and proclaiming myself king on December 12th?"
Yang Biao solemnly said: "I understand the King of Wu's good intentions. The King of Wu will officially offer sacrifices and proclaim himself king. I congratulate you. However, I have to rush back to resume my life, so I won't stay. I hope the King of Wu will prosper forever."
He was still a big man at heart.
Therefore, he didn't want to see Lu Xuan become king.
Lu Xuan did not force it, but he still persuaded Yang Biao to stay for dinner. Yang Biao did not refuse this arrangement. Lu Xuan asked Tang Ji to live in a separate courtyard in the house, and then called Yang Xiu to take care of Yang Biao.
.
After the banquet was over, Lu Xuan sent Yang Biao away, then returned to the hall and invited the civil servants and military generals to the hall.
This time, civil servants such as Jia Xu, Lu Su, Gu Yong, Xu Shu, Chen Deng, Zhang Zhao, and Kuai Yue, as well as military generals such as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Guan Yu, Xu Chu, and all officials in Shu County were all present.
Lu Xuan glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice: "Today, I have good news for you. The imperial court arranged for Yang Biao to be an envoy to Shu County to deliver the decree and confer me the title of King of Wu."
boom!!
The hall exploded instantly.
Everyone's face looked ecstatic and extremely excited. Many people knew about the preparations for Lu Xuan to become king, but from beginning to end, Lu Xuan did not give a clear notice that he would become king, nor did he really announce it to the outside world.
As a result, news and discussions have been rampant, and now there is finally a clear result.
It's not about making yourself king.
It was the imperial court who conferred the title of King of Wu.
At this moment, everyone realized that there was something different. Lu Xuan's throne was granted by the imperial court. Such a king of Wu had different gold content and was more legal than Yuan Shao's Pheasant King Jin.
Zhang Zhao was so excited that he stood up first, clasped his hands together, and bowed: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zhao, pays homage to your Majesty."
"Meet the King."
Gu Yong then stood up and saluted.
"Meet the King."
Jia Xu, Chen Deng, Kuai Yue, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and other civil servants and military generals all stood up and saluted. Everyone was extremely excited, happy for Lu Xuan and happy for themselves.
Lu Xuan became king and established himself in the south, and since then he has truly sealed the territory and split the land.
Those who follow Lu Xuan have a bright future.
Lu Xuan looked at the excited officials below, with a faint smile on his face, and waved his hands: "Gentlemen, please sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone bowed and sat down again.
Lu Xuan's expression was very calm, and he said in a deep voice: "The imperial court has issued an edict to confer me the title of King of Wu. Next, we need to further arrange the affairs of the ancestral temple, and formally sacrifice and proclaim the king to the world on December 12th. This matter
, Li Cao is responsible for making proper arrangements."
"I take orders"
Xu Shu stood up and answered.
After he followed Lu Xuan, he had been working in Licao, responsible for education and many things in the Five Classics Hall. Xu Shu didn't think anything of it. He was used to such a life, after all, he needed someone in the rear.
Now, he is of great use.
Lu Xuan nodded and further said: "The second thing is that I call you queen. Although the official positions of officials in various places will not change, there must be rewards. Whether they are civil servants or military generals, they will be rewarded based on their merits.
"
"When it comes to commendations and rewards for military generals, we will discuss them with the soldiers."
"Those who serve in the army only focus on fighting and making princes and generals. This is their only expectation. Nothing can go wrong and arrangements must be made properly. When I officially become the king, I will reward them one by one. In addition, ordinary people in the local area
Officials and ordinary soldiers in the army should also be commended."
It was a big deal for Lu Xuan to be crowned king.
After Lu Xuan benefited himself, he must also bless the world and make the people below him have hope and benefit.
This is the key of keys.
"I accept my order."
Zhang Zhao answered again.
Not only him, but everyone was excited, especially the representatives of the generals in the army, such as Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and others. Although they could not worship the prime minister, Lu Xuan became the king, and many people could be granted the title of marquis.
Even the most common Tinghou is different. As for the township and county princes, they are a bit far away, but having a title is different.
A title is a symbol of status.
Lu Xuan said again: "Third, I am about to become the king, and the four southern states will be merged into the Kingdom of Wu. In this case, each Cao Cao will be officially renamed. They will no longer be called Cao, but will be called Bu, Li Bu and Hu Bu.
The Ministry of War and six other departments.”
"I accept my order."
Zhang Zhao, Xu Shu, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and other officials from various ministries responded in unison.
Everyone looked excited.
The ministries have not changed much from what they did before, but in fact, the power is different.
Lu Xuan nodded and said again: "Gu Yong is responsible for establishing the Yushitai and officially serves as the Yusheng doctor."
"I accept my order."
Gu Yong answered again.
His expression was calm and unchanged. What he was doing was that of Yushitai, except that he was also responsible for intelligence.
Lu Xuan's eyes turned, fell on Chen Deng, and said: "Chen Deng established the Embroidered Clothes Guard and served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Clothes Guards, responsible for supervising all officials of the Wu Kingdom."
"I accept your order!"
Chen Deng's eyes were bright and he answered loudly.
He glanced at all the officials. Many of them had complicated expressions as he looked around. Chen Deng's embroidered clothes guards were modified from the embroidered clothes messengers of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Even the famous brocade clothes guards in later generations were actually embroidered clothes messengers.
Based on the above, with slight changes.
Essentially, it's the same truth.
However, Chen Deng is like a mad dog, very powerful. Now that Chen Deng is in power, there is nothing the officials can do.
Lu Xuan made no adjustments to Lu Su, Jia Xu and others. These people were military advisers and there was no need for the time being. He arranged various matters one by one, dismissed everyone, and let the people below make arrangements.
Lu Xuan finished arranging things and went to the backyard. After seeing Tang Ji, he smiled and said: "You are married now and can live a peaceful life without any burdens. If there is anything you don't understand or need,
Just go to the princess directly."
The princess must be Da Qiao.
This is not controversial.
Tang Ji nodded, bowed and said, "I will remember your Majesty's instructions."
Lu Xuan didn't stay longer and left directly, which surprised Tang Ji. She heard that Lu Xuan was lustful, but Lu Xuan came to make arrangements, glanced at her, didn't say anything, and didn't make any further moves.
Left directly.
Lu Xuan returned to the study and got busy again.
There are too many things that Lu Xuan needs to arrange for the ceremony to be held on December 12th. Although Lu Xuan is assisted by people like Zhuge Jin, Yang Xiu, Kan Ze and Lu Xun, many things need to be reported and all need to be arranged by Lu Xuan.
Decisive and naturally busy.
As time passed day by day, countless people learned about the news that the imperial court had decreed Lu Xuan to be the King of Wu, and the public opinion grew bigger and bigger.
Shu County is already in a state of excitement.
In a blink of an eye, the day of December 12th arrived.
