Sometimes he was laughing heartily, and sometimes he was calm and cold. Hu Banxian's weird demeanor in front of everyone was really unpleasant to see. However, Hu Banxian had a plan to depose Emperor Xian and help Liu Qi become emperor, which naturally made everyone sit up and listen.
Liu Qi smiled calmly and said: "Half Immortal, please stop showing off."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hu Banxian continued: "The generals can announce the news to Chang'an, announcing that the king of the Han clan in Xinye has been elected as the emperor, and worshiping him from all over the world, calling on the world's heroes to issue a message of conquest to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo will be
The kidnapped Emperor Xian was left penniless. Dong Zhuo, a self-willed warrior, would kill Emperor Xian in anger, and then raise his troops to attack Xinye. Dong Zhuo's soldiers, like Sun Jian, would surely become a dish on the king's plate. At that time, the king would
Emperor Xian is dead, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, so he can legitimately become the emperor."
"Good plan, good plan." The generals heard this and whispered to each other, with joy on their faces.
Jiang Wan frowned and asked, "What if Mr. Dong, the traitor, doesn't kill Emperor Xian?"
Yes, this is another problem. If Dong Zhuo does not kill Emperor Xian, Liu Qi will establish an unknown emperor. It is not easy to command the world with a gold slip of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty. When Jiang Wan asked, the generals stopped talking and became suspicious.
Hu Banxian stroked his beard, and to show that he was taking Jiang Wan's question seriously, he closed his eyes to rest, and pretended to raise his hands to count. After Shaoqing, he opened his eyes and said calmly: "It won't be more than a month, at the latest."
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Emperor Xian will die."
All the generals said in unison: "Why?"
Hu Banxian smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said: "The secret must not be leaked."
Chen Wen quickly smoothed things over: "Half-immortals are members of the immortal family. They have never miscalculated or exaggerated. My lord and General Wu have already met each other when we were in Longmen Town. Now the half-immortals suddenly came to the new land and realized the secret of heaven.
It’s not something we mortals can spy on, we can just follow the half-immortal’s plan.”
"I don't think Hu Banxian is making nonsense, but he is making sense, so everyone will follow Banxian's plan." During the discussion, Li Da, a local tycoon in Echeng, didn't say much. At this time, his words were very effective. He must have come from a local tycoon.
Li Da is also a well-informed person. If you believe what the fortune teller says, you may believe it, but if you don't believe it, you may not believe it. Especially in the face of the major issues of right and wrong that support Liu Qi to become emperor, you must firmly believe it. This is your stance.
The generals nodded one after another and basically agreed on the understanding. Jiang Wan thought for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, the half-immortal plan is feasible."
Jiang Wan called Liu Qi emperor, which shocked Hu Banxian. Liu Qi actually secretly proclaimed himself emperor in front of the generals. It was so well hidden... Hu Banxian didn't know that the soldiers called Liu Qi emperor, which was what happened just now.
Son.
Liu Qi was grateful that Hu Banxian arrived in time and solved the knots in the minds of the soldiers with his words. There was no need to hesitate. Since he was going to be emperor sooner or later, there was no need to be secretive. He could fight Dong Zhuo openly and win. He would succeed or fail.
!
But some words must be put on show to save face. Liu Qi sighed: "The situation forces us to rescue the weak Emperor Xian from the Dong thief. How can I, the young master, sit on the throne of the emperor? I have to accept it."
Shame on you."
Everyone advised: "Your Majesty, it's hard to go against God's will."
Liu Qi pretended to be embarrassed and said hypocritically: "Okay, just for the sake of the common people in the world, I will be the emperor for a while. Who told me that I come from a Han clan and live in troubled times. If I don't go to hell, who will?"
…
After the discussion was over, Liu Qi left Hu Banxian, Jiang Wan, and Chen Wen behind to discuss in detail how to announce the news of Liu Qi's proclaimed emperor and how to make Dong Zhuo angry without making the people resent Liu Qi. Many details needed to be carefully considered.
, Don't be careless at all, otherwise, the proclaimed emperor will be self-defeating and will make the world laugh at you and make everyone laugh.
Liu Qi, Jiang Wan, Chen Wen and Hu Banxian sat down to discuss. When Hu Banxian learned that Chen Wen had the golden slips of the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, he was overjoyed. He even said that it would be done and that Emperor Xian would die soon. Then he said something like this
, Jiang Wan and Chen Wen left happily.
Regarding Hu Banxian, Liu Qi had a lot of emotions. There are many fortune tellers who can tell fortunes, but fortune tellers who can use calculations are very rare. It seems that Hu Banxian is a restless fortune teller, and Liu Qi got his wish.
When Jiang Wan and Chen Wen left, Liu Qi motioned to Hu Banxian to stay and said with a smile: "Thanks to the half-immortal's help, the world will be stable and unified from all directions. The half-immortal has accomplished a great feat."
Hu Banxian said with a sneer: "The emperor is laughing at me. My little skills are not worth mentioning in front of the emperor."
Liu Qi said again: "Half-immortal has been missing for many days, where can he make a fortune?"
Hu Banxian said: "The world is in chaos, wandering around rivers and lakes, wandering around without even having enough food and clothing. The emperor's reputation has spread far and wide, and the beautiful scenery of Xinye Taoyuan is spread all over the world. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and have no worries about food and drink. This is the paradise that all people in the world long for.
, I came here because I was very hungry. If it weren’t for the emperor’s financial support from Longmen Town, I would have died of starvation on the way.”
Liu Qi chuckled: "Even with the calculations of a half-immortal, I wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation. I am lacking a position here. I wonder if the half-immortal is willing to do it?" Since everyone has admitted that he is the emperor, of course he can't use the title.
It’s always me, so you have to call me me.
Hu Banxian's heart moved. The eldest son Liu Qi has always been generous. Now that he is serving at the emperor's side, it is a good thing that millions of people can't ask for. Thinking of this, Hu Banxian said with sincerity and fear: "Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty."
Liu Qi laughed loudly: "I haven't said what position it is, so how can I thank you for the gift?"
Hu Banxian was sullen and silent, waiting for Liu Qi to be appointed official.
Liu Qi paused for a moment and said: "Half Immortal, I will tell you the truth. Regarding the calligraphy test in Longmen Town and today's deposing of Emperor Xian, I believe that your character is not bad, and you are proficient in strategy. You are not corrupt, and you will never be ambiguous in the face of major events.
You should be reused just because you are so clever and clever, so how about you stay with me and lead the army for the time being?"
"Thank you Lord Long for your kindness." Hu Banxian was really unambiguous. When Liu Qi asked him to take the post of leading military advisor, he bowed down and bowed down. Military advisor is equivalent to the prime minister. This is a position for one person and more than ten thousand people. Don't you dare to be surprised and excited?
Not dedicated to the emperor?
Liu Qi appreciated Hu Banxian's sincerity, lack of hypocrisy, and courage, and said with a smile: "I love you for your life."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hu Banxian stood up and expressed his loyalty: "Although I am not talented, the Emperor's kindness is so great that it is difficult to repay it in a lifetime. How dare I not dedicate what I have learned in my life? I will help the Emperor benefit the world and bring happiness to all people."
"Okay, let Banxian go. I have told my second brother that confidential matters can be discussed with General Wen quickly." Liu Qi trusted Chen Wen, and Chen Wen also needed Hu Banxian's strategy, and the kind-hearted Jiang Wan was at a time when the world was uncertain.
It’s not suitable for participating in too many conspiracies yet.
"Yes." Hu Banxian left the meeting hall, which can also be said to be the "Imperial Palace" in a sense, with great joy. The eldest son Liu Qi is indeed the reincarnation of a dragon. He knows people well and appoints them with no doubts. He is really eclectic.
Talents, the chaotic days of the Eastern Han Dynasty will soon clear up.
Hu Banxian walked out of the meeting hall. Chen Wenzheng was walking leisurely outside the hall waiting for Hu Banxian. When he saw Hu Banxian coming, he shook hands warmly: "Master Banxian, let's go, let's have a drink."
"Okay, let's have a drink." Hu Banxian was very happy. After wandering for most of his life, he finally met the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. He and Chen Wen had to finalize the dethronement of Emperor Xian tonight. The Eastern Han Dynasty could not continue to be chaotic, and the war must end as soon as possible.
Only by rescuing the princes and heroes from militancy, allowing the people to resume farming, and restoring industry and trade can the country prosper.
Currently, the biggest obstacles standing in front of Liu Qi in claiming the throne are the existence of Emperor Xian and Dong Zhuo's control of the court. By solving these two problems, Liu Qi can legitimately ascend the throne.
In the meeting hall just now, Hu Banxian said some very cryptic words, but maybe Liu Qi could understand some of them, but he could not say them clearly; there were some words that the emperor could not say clearly, but as the future prime minister, Hu Banxian had to do them. This is what Liu Qi said.
The art of recognizing people and the way of employing them.
In Chen Wen's hotel, a jar of wine was placed in front of Chen Wen and Hu Banxian, and they had a drink together. While the wine was in full swing, the two talked very speculatively.
Chen Wen chuckled: "Master Half-Immortal, you said that Emperor Xian will die soon, and you also said very accurately that he would not survive the seventh day of the seventh month. There must be some secret that must not be leaked. There must be a conspiracy, and it is inconvenient to say it in front of everyone."
Hu Banxian drank a cup and said with a smile: "What can be hidden from the Emperor and General Wen? Otherwise, the Emperor would not have specifically asked me to discuss it secretly with General Wen."
Chen Wen gave Hu Banxian a spoonful of wine, and with a solemn expression he said bluntly: "Master Banxian, what do you need me to do?"
"Okay." Hu Banxian picked up the wine cup and raised his glass to drink with Chen Wen. Then he looked around to confirm that it was safe. He leaned close to Chen Wen's ear and whispered: "General Wen, I saw in Chang'an that Zeng was with you in Longmen Town.
We are together with General E, who serves in Dong Zhuo's Imperial Guard and is in charge of five hundred Imperial Guards."
"General E?" Chen Wen was surprised and said: "You mean the eldest son, oh, no, the emperor's personal guard, brother E Huan who once traveled with Jiangling?"
Hu Banxian said: "Exactly."
"This is good news. It is true that after leaving Longmen Town, the emperor gave four personal bronze-armored guards, General Xu E, to go north to find the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. It was said that he was going to Chang'an. Unexpectedly, in one year's time, General E Huan
They all became officials and joined Dong Zhuo's Imperial Guard."
"Hey, I thought it was an arrow planted by the emperor beside Dong Zhuo. This is really God's will." Hu Banxian smiled coldly again and said: "General Wen, without further delay, we can send someone to Chang'an to steal the blank in secret.
The imperial edict was to issue a false edict to give way to the eldest son in the name of Emperor Xian, and then secretly replaced the imperial guards under E Huan with elites from Xinye. After Dong Zhuo killed Emperor Xian, he immediately supported the eldest son as emperor, and made E Huan Chang'an rebel.
, great things will be accomplished, and the world will be settled."
Chen Wendao said: "Issuing a fake edict, Hu Banxian, Hu Banxian, the fake one will always be fake. If the secret is revealed, it will not only make the world laugh at you, but it will not be done well, or you will shoot yourself in the foot?"
Hu Banxian smiled secretly: "General Wen, Emperor Xian's son is dead. Who can find someone to ask for authenticity? The process is not important. What is important is that the eldest son must ascend the throne as soon as possible and put an end to the chaotic situation in the world as soon as possible. The people can no longer afford to bother.
These are half-dead days, and the land of China can no longer withstand the scorching flames of war everywhere."
Chen Wen thought for a while and said with determination: "The half-immortal's words are reasonable, and this is the only way. According to you, if Dong Zhuo doesn't kill Emperor Xian, we will have to kill Emperor Xian for Dong Zhuo and pretend to bring disaster on Dong Zhuo.
An incident?"
Hu Banxian nodded and said: "General Wen is smart. There is nothing he cannot do to sacrifice a useless Emperor Xian in exchange for eternal peace in the world. The emperor has already said, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
"Hahaha, heroes see the same thing." Chen Wen and Hu Banxian held hands tightly and drank a jar of wine without realizing it. Thinking that the eldest son would ascend the throne soon, Chen Wen and Hu Banxian were so drunk that their chests were agitated.
