Chapter 658 Discussion on proclaiming himself emperor ([-])

"Brother Zhou, please don't look so happy. My lord has always been loyal to the emperor. Now seeing the emperor's death, he feels sad in his heart. If he sees brother Zhou like this, he will definitely be unhappy." Seeing Zhou Liang's expression, Deng Zhan said quickly and seriously.

"The final general understands, the final general understands that the emperor Daxing is also very kind and intelligent, but he has been held hostage by the national thieves. Sighing, but a country cannot be without a king for a day, no matter how high-quality the Emperor Daxing is, no matter how popular he is, he has already passed away, so, the next one should be King Qin to follow the will of heaven and the people and inherit the throne of emperor, right?"

It has to be said that Zhou Liang learned the official language really well, but when he saw Deng Zhan immediately said in a deep voice, ""The important matters of the country are not for us to discuss. Brother Zhou, please be careful. This matter requires the cooperation of the military and the government." Those bigwigs discussed that if it was the governor of Zhou, he would naturally have the right to speak, and we were of low status, so we must not talk nonsense.

"Understood, understood." Zhou Liang said something embarrassingly, and immediately led the crowd back to look for Zhou Yu.

After finding Zhou Yu, after some research, I found out that Zhou Yu's army had failed to pursue Cao Pi. In the end, Zhou Yu fished up the remains of the big ship where Emperor Han died, gathered the corpses in the ship, and decided to order Gan Ning. Temporarily preside over the daily affairs of the navy, and personally help the spirit to go to Chang'an. On the one hand, he will return the bones of the emperor and concubines, and on the other hand, he must make amends to Liu He.

After Zhou Yu returned to Chang'an, he unexpectedly discovered that many generals in the army also found various reasons to come to Chang'an. He remembered Zhou Liang's words about persuading King Qin to succeed to the throne, and thought for a while. Immediately, he understood the intentions of those soldiers, and as if enlightened, he murmured: "This day, it is indeed time to change."

Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Yu returned, there was an invitation to the banquet jointly initiated by Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Zhong Yao and others.

Zhou Yu knew what would happen at the banquet, but this was exactly what he expected, so naturally he readily agreed.

In the evening, Zhou Yu came to the venue and was surprised to find that almost all the giants from the military and political parties were here. Civil servants such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun, Zhong Yao, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Liu Ye, Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, and military attachés For example, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Wei Yan, Qu Yi, Xu Huang, Lu Xun, etc. It can be said that there is a gathering of heroes, and the best talents in the empire are gathered together.

After drinking for three rounds, Shangshu ordered Xun Yu to speak first: "Everyone should know that a few days ago, the rebel Cao Pi, in the process of holding the emperor hostage, murdered the emperor frantically and set fire to him in order to seize the jade seal and obtain the supreme position. The emperor's boat was burned. Fortunately, Zhan Fei, a righteous man around Cao Pi, went to rescue him. However, the emperor was seriously injured at that time, and there was no possibility of survival. The emperor knew that he was about to die, so he entrusted the Jade Seal Zhanyi Shi, and dictated the last edict, ordering him to transfer the jade seal to the King of Qin, and pass on the throne of the Son of Heaven to the King of Qin. I am very satisfied, how dare I overstep the position of emperor? He also said that he would look for other heirs of Emperor Xiaoling and make him the emperor. If he did so, he would be afraid that people with no morals and talents would steal the throne. In this way, How can the world return to stability? I invite you here today to discuss with you, at this moment, what should we do?"

After saying this, I saw a person shouting first: "What are you discussing? Besides King Qin, who else is qualified to be the Son of Heaven? In my opinion, everyone should go to see King Qin together and ask King Qin to become emperor. If he refuses , I’ll kneel and die there.”

Zhou Yu didn't need to look up to know that the person who said this must be Zhang Fei. After hearing this, he also nodded slightly, because although this method is a bit rogue, it cannot be said that it is ineffective. King Qin relies on these people to conquer the world , if these people all go to intercede, King Qin will have to agree.

Of course, Zhou Yu is not a political imbecile, and he also understands that it is really difficult to agree with Liu He's personality only by these "persuasion" words, and other auxiliary means are necessary.

At this time Xu Chu, Dian Wei and other generals immediately echoed Zhang Fei's words, expressing their willingness to lead all the soldiers of the pro-barracks to "persuade them to enter" outside the palace.

However, Xun Yu and the others changed their complexions, and said quickly: "Don't worry, although the lord looks easy to talk, but he has a firm and resolute temperament. If he really does this, I'm afraid he can really be ruthless and refuse. If we want to succeed To persuade us to come forward, we must not only rely on us, but also rely on the will of Heaven and the will of the people. Only when all these are achieved will the lord agree."

"It's easy to handle public opinion. We governors and governors can mobilize the people to submit petitions, but how can we control Tian's heart?" Xu Huang looked confused when he heard this and asked the group of learned people.

I saw Xun You smiled and said, "The so-called Tianxin is actually the will of the people, but it is expressed in a different form. When Chen Sheng raised his troops, he shouted that the princes and generals should be kind? But there are still such things as fish-bellied pills and bonfires and foxes." From then on, the soldiers believed that Chen Sheng had a destiny, and set off a war against Tyranny."

When Xun You said this, many scholars suddenly realized and understood, but the generals were still a little confused. Zhang Fei approached Guan Yu and asked in a low voice, "Second Brother, what did he say about Danshu and Huming?"

So Guan Yu explained to Zhang Fei in a low voice: "The so-called fish-bellied pills and bonfire foxes are the ghosts of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. In the belly of the fish caught by others. The soldiers bought the fish for cooking and got books in the belly of the fish. They felt very strange. They also ordered Wu Guang to go to a nearby temple and light a bonfire in the middle of the night, imitating the voice of a fox and shouting " Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng'..."

Only then did Zhang Fei suddenly realize: "It turns out that this is what happened. The brains of scholars are really different, and they can think of these things."

"Hey, third brother, haven't you never read? You knew how to write calligraphy and draw beauties before you were over 30 years old, but these years you have become more and more superstitious about force. I'm afraid you have forgotten those things?" Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei. With a glance, he said with a faint smile.

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "How can those things be more enjoyable than going to the battlefield to kill the enemy? If you have that time, you might as well enjoy a jar of five grains and fine wine."

"Hmph, you also want to taste wine? It's no different from a cow chewing peonies." Guan Yu gave Zhang Fei a sideways look, didn't say much, just thought silently.

He knew that if he really spoke, even if Zhang Fei had always admired him, he would probably have a fight with him. For this big guy, he is not sure that he can win now.
