Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 601 The Last Step to Die

If someone asked Liu Xie, what was the spirit of Yuan Shu's actions?
Perhaps Liu Xie would tell that person righteously that Yuan Shu is not the spirit of communism, nor the spirit of internationalism, nor is it the spirit of selflessness. This is the spirit of a fool that everyone in the world admires the most!
And what did the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao who caused all this pay?
It's just that a few people were placed in Shouchun to perform a big show, and then they pretended to cooperate outside the venue.

Of course, Comrade Liu Bei is very innocent, and he has paid a lot.It can be inferred that even if Yuan Shu is defeated, his benefit will be the smallest.But there is no way, this is the rule of troubled times.Even Liu Bei is lucky, after all, he still participated in this drama, otherwise, like Liu Biao and Sun Ce, he would not even have the qualifications to be used, so why would he want to be arrogant and innocent?
On April [-]st, which was April Fool's Day in the previous life, a grand enthronement ceremony was held in Jiujiang Shouchun's Sansou Palace.

The magnificent Sanssouci Palace has been newly decorated and is resplendent in the morning sun. The flags on the square in front of the palace are flying in the breeze, and rows of warriors standing in the aisle hold long guns, hold their chests and draw their stomachs, and stare silently at each other. Thousands of civil and military officials wear The grandest gowns are neatly arranged, with solemn expressions, standing with hands down.With the long cry of the chief of ceremonies, the melodious drum music immediately rang through the sky.

Wearing a pure gold flat sky crown, a bright yellow dragon robe, and thick-soled leather boots, Yuan Shu walked slowly towards the dragon chair under the guidance of the eunuch.Today's Yuan Shu's hair is unbelievably black and shiny, as if he had been oiled or dyed, and his sparse beards were neatly combed; , He even applied a thick layer of powder on his face, which looked flushed, but if there was a slight change in his facial expression, it would fall off like snow.

Especially the eunuch beside him also noticed that the soles of Yuan Shu's boots are three inches thick today, and it is very easy to sprain his feet when walking.However, in order to stand out from others and bring out the majesty of the emperor, Yuan Shu still tried his best to walk slowly step by step.At this moment, his eyebrows are full of solemnity, and his chin full of flesh shows unusual firmness.But no matter how wide he opened his eyes, trying to make his gaze more sharp, but those two small eyes, which were squeezed into slits by the fat, seemed to be unable to see any effect no matter how hard he tried.

However, these are small details, and Yuan Shu thinks there is no need to care about them.Who stipulated that the emperor should be handsome and handsome?This is to choose the emperor who is destined to bring happiness to the common people and the people. It is not a beauty pageant. What's the use of being as handsome as the emperor of the Han Dynasty?

Yuan Shu turned around and silently watched the crowd of civil and military officials under his feet. No one knew that he was thinking about these innocuous things at the moment.It was only after a long time that he took the edict from the eunuch and read it loudly.

After reading the edict, Yuan Shu paused for a while, seeing that the officials below seemed not so enthusiastic, and said loudly to the officials: "In the past, the Duke of Zhou acted as regent for King Cheng, and finally returned him to the throne. Now I am forced by the destiny , can't act according to my own will, the feeling in my heart at this moment is hard to describe!"

As he spoke, his tone had turned sad, as if countless past events came to his heart, and the sadness was uncontrollable for a moment, and hot tears burst out of his eyes.

The officials immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, and the shouts of "Long Live" swept across the entire Sanssouci Palace in an instant like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.However, there is still a hint of secret disdain mixed with these whistling sounds: what kind of pretense are you pretending, isn't it usurper, isn't it rebellion.A real man was born in troubled times, so he should make a big fuss, saying that Fu Han Anbang is not a dragon robe now?

Mother-in-law, why do you make it so complicated, you are as useless as a woman!
Still crying, what face do you have to cry!Tossing us for so long, isn't it just to practice the supremacy and hold power today?Oops, the makeup on my face is crying out, uglier than my servant's wife...

But the new Zhong family of the Dacheng Dynasty seemed to have guessed the thoughts of these civil servants and generals, and was destined to catch them by surprise.Just now I was crying bitterly, but suddenly I wiped away my tears, and announced again in a firm tone: "Today, there is a decree from the heavens, so that Benzhong's family will be enshrined in Zen Taishan. Cao thief is rebellious, Liu Bei is incompetent, it is I who made great achievements At that time, the edict of the Zhong family was passed down, and Liang Gang and Lei Bo were stationed in Xuzhou. There was no need to wait for Cao and Liu to fight each other, and immediately marched northward to clear away the obstacles to Feng Chan for the army, so that Dacheng's reputation would reach the heavens!"

"Your Majesty!" His Highness Yan Xiang suddenly turned dark as if struck by lightning.

Just before Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor today, he found Yuan Huan who was staying behind closed doors to discuss the matter.He actually learned that Yuan Huan had already prepared a three-foot sword and planned to commit suicide when Yuan Shu was defeated.And when Yan Xiang asked about the military, Yuan Huan still said helplessly: "If the matter in Xuzhou is not deceitful, the lord of my clan will send troops to attack Xuzhou when Cao and Liu are fighting, and maybe the puppet dynasty can be postponed." It will take a while. But if Yuan Shu is so rejoicing in his meritorious deeds and resorts to swordsmanship, I'm afraid... Alas!"

Yan Xiang himself has also planned that it is indeed the most sensible choice at present to reap the benefits of the fisherman when the army is waiting for Cao Liu to fight.But now...Yuan Huan had predicted everything damn well again!
At this time, Yuan Jun absolutely couldn't take the initiative to attack. Once he fell into the quagmire of the Xuzhou war, the princes of the world, especially the Han Dynasty soldiers who reacted to the pressure, would completely plunge the Dacheng Dynasty into a place of eternal doom!
But at this time, can I raise objections on the first day of Yuan Shu's accession to the throne, when he issued the first edict?

Do you think your life is too long?

"What does Yan Situ want to play?" But Yuan Shu didn't seem to intend to let Yan Xiang go, he swayed his sleeves and sat down on the dragon chair.Although he still didn't feel as comfortable as his own bed, he still maintained his dignity and asked in an air of Tianjia's peace and kindness.

Facing Yuan Shu's hypocritical eyes, Yan Xiang, who had already been promoted to Situ, seemed to see that day again, when Yuan Shu looked at His Highness's ministers like a wolf like a knife.His mind was terrified, and he responded with quick wit: "Although your Majesty has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he still misses the old dynasty. After all, Xuzhou is still under the jurisdiction of the old dynasty's prefect. Why don't you issue an edict and write it down to Liu Bei?" The matter of Fengchan Taishan can also let Liu Bei know what His Majesty is thinking, and maybe get some help, wouldn't it be better to fight Cao thief together like this?"

God pity, this is the last reminder from heaven to Yuan Shu.But helplessly, these words were also a countermeasure that Yan Xiang thought of in a hurry, and it was inevitable that there would be many mistakes and omissions.After all, Yuan Shu sent Lei Bo and Liang Gang to fight Xuzhou before, so why would he be nostalgic for the old Han Dynasty.What's more, even if Yuan Shu got insane, it is impossible for Liu Bei to join forces with Yuan Shu.

However, Yuan Shu seemed to be in a good mood, thinking that Yan Xiang was trying to make himself clear about his own strategy, so he couldn't help but smiled and replied: "Situ doesn't know, Ben Zhong's family really misses the old dynasty, but the orphans of the old dynasty don't know Destiny! Benzhong's family delivered the edict of the circulation of the five elements and the change of dynasties to Chang'an, but the yellow-mouthed child threw it under the stone steps of the front hall and let the old people of the Han Dynasty trample on it. In this way, the Benzhong family had no choice but to do their best. What's more, Liu Bei is no more than Mu'er, a state in the old dynasty, so what's the point?"

Yuan Shu may have scruples about Liu Xie, Yuan Shao and even Cao Cao, but he has always ignored Liu Bei.In particular, the two big victories between Lei Bo and Liang Gang made Yuan Shu look down on Liu Bei to the dust.Therefore, today he wants to tell his civil and military officials: Well, in the Han Dynasty, when we need it, we still have to give some face; As for Liu Bei, Liu Biao and Liu Yan who are not in the same rank, they will be bullied by us!

The establishment of a new dynasty does not mean that when the strong meet, the strong will be strong, and the brain will be hot and desperate.Entrepreneurship is difficult, so naturally you have to proceed step by step. After all, the strategy can accumulate small things into big things, and accumulate armpit into big things... Sigh, you don’t understand these things when I tell you. You all understand the Tianjia’s mentality.
Yuan Shu touched the smooth armrest of the dragon chair. At this moment, he already felt the beauty of this chair.He raised his head slightly, looked at Yan Xiang retreating with a lonely expression on his face, and then looked at the humility of all the people who bowed their heads and bowed their heads as ministers, an indescribable desire for power spontaneously arose.

At this time, he had already begun to look forward to it, and he seemed to see his army advancing triumphantly, defeating the two mobs of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and stopped at the foot of the majestic Mount Tai.As for myself, at that time, I had been enshrined in Zen and offered sacrifices, and I used the most pious ancient rituals to thank God's wisdom eyes...

That was, what a beautiful moment.
