It¡¯s not just Liu Bei who is proud these days, Cao Cao is also in a good mood.
With Han Sui's death and Ma Chao fleeing, Liangzhou finally fell into Cao Cao's hands.
He now walks with wind, very much like a prime minister.
One day, when Cao Cao was about to reward meritorious ministers, Dong Zhao, the Marquis of Qianqiu Pavilion, stood up and said:
"We should explore the ancient system of establishing five levels of titles."
"It is a saint who builds the fifth-level title, and it is not something that a minister can enact. How can I afford it?" Cao Cao shook his head.
Dong Zhao had already prepared his words.
"Throughout the ages, no minister has assisted the king, and no one has achieved such achievements as you, Prime Minister today.
Even with your achievements, no one can stay in the position of a minister for a long time.
Now the Prime Minister feels ashamed that he still has shortcomings in his moral character and has not reached perfection. He is happy because he can keep his reputation and moral integrity and does not have greater responsibilities. His virtues surpass those of Yi Yin and Zhou Gong, and he has reached the level of perfection. Extreme.
Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so you should be clear-eyed and recognize your achievements. But His Majesty didn't do it. Why didn't the Prime Minister remind him? "
"What do you mean by this?" Cao Cao asked with shock.
"The Prime Minister only cares about rewarding meritorious ministers, who will reward you, Prime Minister? With the achievements of the Prime Minister, you are enough to be called the king." Dong Zhao said sonorously and forcefully.
Cao Hong on the side was stunned, could such an operation be possible?
Please take my knee off!
"This matter will be discussed later."
Although he said this, Cao Cao was already moved.
It¡¯s too early to call yourself emperor, but it¡¯s okay to call yourself king, right?
Now Cao Cao's title is Wei Gong, and he is only one step away from the throne.
At the court meeting the next day, all officials seemed to have agreed, and wrote letters one after another, requesting Emperor Xian to make Cao Cao king.
Everyone was overjoyed. Cao Cao didn't say it in his heart, but he was delighted. Just as he was about to say something modest, someone stood up and refused on his behalf.
"Absurd! According to the Han Dynasty clan decree, foreign surnames cannot be crowned kings. Dongyang Marquis is Dazongzheng, and no real Han clan clan member can be crowned king."
If it were Emperor Xian who made the remarks, everyone would take it for granted.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Unfortunately not.
The person who spoke out was Xun Yu, Cao Cao's chief steward.
Every time Cao Cao went on an expedition, he always asked Xun Yu to stay at the base camp. Everything was arranged properly without any mistakes.
But it¡¯s hard to believe that such a person would stand up and oppose it.
"The Prime Minister is of high moral character and high prestige, and he fights for the imperial court in the north and south? Why can't he be crowned king?"
The court became chaotic and fell into endless quarrels.
"Quiet!" Dong Zhao shouted.
When everyone calmed down, Dong Zhao continued:
"Is it up to you, Xun Wenruo, to decide whether the Prime Minister can be crowned king? Do you take His Majesty seriously?"
High!
Damn it, I didn¡¯t realize that Dong Zhao was so smart, he stood up at the critical moment and gave the opponents a huge slap in the face.
So, Xun Yu looked at the weak and pitiful Emperor Xian with expectant eyes, hoping that he would stand up and righteously refuse Cao Cao's title of king.
It¡¯s a pity that Xun Yu is doomed to fail.
"The prime minister's hard work has made great achievements, and being crowned king is nothing." Emperor Xian said indifferently.
Dong Zhao smiled slightly, "Very good, Emperor Xian has fulfilled his promise."
Xun Yu¡¯s face was ashen.
Cao Cao was also very proud that Dong Zhao saved his face.
"We will discuss the matter of being crowned king later."
Cao Cao humbly refused again. During the next ten days of court discussions, the ministers persisted and suggested that Cao Cao be crowned king.
Emperor Xian even directly issued an order to make Cao Cao King of Wei.
Cao Cao refused three times and finally reluctantly accepted.
"Congratulations to the King of Wei!"
"Haha, everyone is happy!"
Cao Cao was really happy and a little carried away.
Gradually, the news spread that Cao Cao was granted the title of King of Wei.
When Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked.
"Damn it, Cao Mengde is so ambitious that he wants to be the king."
"Cao Cao has been holding the emperor hostage to control the princes for many years, and it has become a habit. Now, no one in the world can suppress him except Dongyang Hou." Fa Zhengdao.
"Humph, ?Dongyang Hou is not the only clan member of the family! Liu Bei said dissatisfied.
"What is my lord planning to do?"
Liu Bei won Yizhou and was at the height of his power, and he did not want to be outdone by Cao Cao.
"Xiaozhi, what do you think of me?"
How about what?
Fazheng was stunned, and it took him a while to react.
Is it possible that Liu Bei will become king?
"Lord"
"Okay, no need to say more, I understand what you mean." Liu Bei said.
I said nothing.
Fazheng is very aggrieved.
So, under Liu Bei¡¯s secret instructions. One hundred and twenty people, including Ma Chao and Xu Jing, jointly submitted a petition to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, requesting that Liu Bei be made king.
The reason is that Cao Cao "devours the world from outside and destroys many officials at home. The court is in danger of having a weak wall, but it has not been built to protect against insults, which can be heart-breaking." Therefore, "the ministers and others still maintain their honours, appoint the King of Hanzhong, and worship the Grand Sima."
In the future, after Cao Cao is eliminated, "their achievements have been accomplished, and the ministers will retreat and correct their crimes (the imperial edict was granted to them), and they will die without regret."
Just like that, Liu Bei became king, and he was the king of Hanzhong.
As for why Ma Chao is the leader, it is because he has the highest status in the Liu Bei Group.
Ma Chao was once a member of the imperial court who officially conferred the title of marquis and general. The prince he was granted was the "Dutinghou", and the general he worshiped was the "partial general".
As for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and their ilk, they had little status in the court.
Liu Bei felt embarrassed, so he wrote to Emperor Xian.
"When the officials see the pressure, they force the ministers to act righteously"
In other words, Your Majesty, I don¡¯t really want to be the king, but everyone is forcing me to do so. If I don¡¯t do this, I am unethical.
Cao Cao is already the king. If I resist him as a Yizhou shepherd, wouldn¡¯t I be committing the following crime?
So, I must be the king.
Liu Bei¡¯s memorial was directly burned by Cao Cao. What the hell.
If it weren¡¯t for the possibility of joining forces with Liu Bei to fight Dongyang Marquis in the future, Cao Cao might have issued an edict to reprimand him.
Cao Cao had just made him the King of Wei, and Liu Bei made himself the King of Hanzhong. His joy was suddenly gone!
Didn¡¯t you lower the throne?
However, there is still a difference between the thrones of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. According to historical records, Cao Cao was granted the title of king by a serious emperor. And Liu Bei can only call himself.
What does self-proclaiming mean?
It is the same as the prince named Song Jian who was destroyed by Xiahou Yuan. He also became the king in Xiliang.
The most depressing person is not Cao Cao, but Zhang Lu.
This guy was shot while he was lying down.
"What does Liu Xuande mean by this?! Do you really think that I dare not destroy him?"
The reason why Zhang Lu was angry was because Hanzhong was his territory.
Liu Bei calls himself the King of Hanzhong. What does it mean? Are you determined to win Hanzhong?
Zhang Lu felt that he had been ignored, what a shame and humiliation!
"Liu Xuande, from now on we will fight to the death!"
Faced with Zhang Lu¡¯s shouting from a distance, Liu Bei didn¡¯t care at all, because he had already set his sights on the land in Hanzhong.
"Zhang Lu is looking for death. Now I can destroy him with just a flip of my hand." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
