Today is the meeting of the great dynasty, and Liu Bei is the emperor. Under this occasion and status, Liu Bei's words represent a true promise.
Precisely because they knew this, all the ministers in the palace felt very surprised after hearing this sentence.
That's a great general.
The word "general" has an extraordinary meaning in the Han Dynasty, and this meaning stems from his transcendent power in the political system of the Han Dynasty.
Due to the surprise in his heart, the originally lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but have a thought in their minds - is Mi Yang worthy of this title?
This question was not answered in everyone's mind for a while.
The reason is very simple. Although the general has a transcendent status in the Han Dynasty, the position of general is not sacred.
In the four hundred years since the Han Dynasty, many people have served as generals.
Of course, there are those who deserve the title, but there are also many who hold this position due to the emperor's political considerations.
Even among that group of people, those who truly deserve the title have always been in the minority, which makes the title of general not sacred.
However, despite this, everyone could not help but carefully consider Mi Yang's appointment as general.
After all, the position of general has too much power, and the political significance it represents is also extraordinary.
After analyzing specific goals, many ministers have ideas in mind.
During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there was an unwritten unwritten rule for holding the position of general, that is, the person must be either a clan member of the Han Dynasty or a relative.
After more than 400 years of development, this unspoken rule has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Why did Huo Guang, who was so powerful back then, insist on marrying his daughter to Emperor Xiaoxuan? In fact, he just wanted to consolidate his status as a relative of Emperor Xiaoxuan.
Even Yuan Shao, who had disciples and former officials all over the world, caused a lot of criticism in the world after he became a general because he was not a relative of the Han Dynasty.
And Mi Yang's identity is in line with this unspoken rule.
Even though his aunt never gave birth to an heir for Liu Bei, his aunt was a posthumous queen. With this name, Mi Yang was a relative of a great man with a well-established background.
What's more, due to Mi Zhu's identity, the Mi family of Donghai has already successfully entered the ranks of the top aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty.
With such a family background, it would be no problem for Mi Yang to become a general of the Han Dynasty in name.
After meeting this unspoken rule, the ministers began to think about another criterion for becoming a general, which was whether they had made great contributions to the Han Dynasty.
In fact, this standard can only be said to be a supplement to the unspoken rules, because in the history of the Han Dynasty, there are not many relatives who became generals without meritorious service.
But Mi Yang's performance in the past was so impressive that the world couldn't help but have higher demands on him.
How can Liang Ji, He Jin and others be compared with Han Bailu?
When they thought carefully about whether Mi Yang met this standard, everyone couldn't help but think of Mi Yang's previous great contributions to the Han Dynasty.
I won’t mention the battles that Mi Yang participated in, let’s just talk about the two battles that he led before.
The public security forces defeated 100,000 Wu troops in one battle and defended half of the country for the Han Dynasty. This was a contribution to the whole country.
In the battle of Xicheng, he outsmarted Cao Ren, greatly demonstrated the majesty of the Han Dynasty, and cleared the obstacles of public opinion for Liu Bei to become emperor. This was the merit of his support.
A contribution to the whole country and a contribution to the establishment, the impact of these two achievements is very far-reaching. From this aspect, Mi Yang has sufficient achievements in terms of merit.
Or in other words, in terms of merit alone, even if the old general Guan Yu is resurrected, he may only be on par with Mi Yang, let alone others.
If Mi Yang is not qualified to become a general, who else among today's great men is qualified?
As for Mi Yang's age, it was not within the scope of the ministers' consideration at all.
The scholars of the Han Dynasty were not pedantic. In times of peace, seniority was paramount. In times of chaos, what matters most is that those who are able should occupy the places.
Moreover, in the four hundred years since the Han Dynasty, there have been many examples of young people suddenly rising to high positions due to merit.
Don’t forget who Liu Bei often compared Mi Yang to, and who he often compared himself to as an emperor.
After these thoughts emerged in their hearts, the surprise in everyone's hearts was slowly disappearing.
Fortunately, Liu Bei chose Mi Yang to become the new general of the Han Dynasty. If it had been anyone else, I am afraid that these ministers would have had to remonstrate with him.
Even if there is a basis for recognition in the heart, the ministers will only be surprised instead of strongly resisting.
But even though the surprise in their hearts gradually disappeared, there were still many ministers who did not agree with Liu Bei's decision.
They don't think Mi Yang is unworthy, they think it's not the right time for Mi Yang to become a general of the Han Dynasty.
It is true that Mi Yang's status and achievements have given him the capital to become a general, and the battle of Yangping Pass can be regarded as a rare victory, but again, everyone's expectations for Mi Yang are too high.
Everyone felt that Mi Yang could achieve better results. For example, after officially defeating a hundred thousand Wei troops and helping the Han Dynasty through its weakest stage, with such extraordinary achievements, he became the general of the Han Dynasty.
It is truly worthy of the title.
Who called him a white deer?
As a national treasure of the Han Dynasty, all ministers do not want Mi Yang to receive any criticism in the future.
During the period when Zhuge Liang was away from Chengdu, most of the ministers were led by Shangshu Ling Ma Liang. Ma Liang was also an outspoken person, and he expressed his thoughts in a tactful tone.
When Ma Liang expressed his thoughts, many ministers immediately agreed.
After listening to Ma Liang's concerns, Liu Bei was not angry. On the contrary, the smile on his face became even stronger.
As a political master, how could he not think of things that the ministers thought of?
Liu Bei quickly expressed his true thoughts in front of the ministers.
"I would like to appoint the champion lord as the general of the line. I wonder what your wishes are?"
Compared with what he said just now, Liu Bei's appointment was more specific, and it was this specific appointment that made Ma Liang and other ministers smile with satisfaction on their faces.

Action is the same as falsehood, it has a temporary meaning in this world.
Liu Bei immediately appointed Mi Yang as the general. His purpose was to allow Mi Yang to have the power of the general for a short time. Once the war is over, Mi Yang's position as the general will disappear immediately.
Since it was an expedient measure, and the Han officials were not the corrupt scholars of later generations, there was certainly no reason to feel that this appointment was inappropriate.
Of course, the ministers also knew that Liu Bei's appointment had other meanings - even though he was only a temporary general, Mi Yang could still use the power of the general during the war. This was Liu Bei's reward for Mi Yang's victory in Pingguan.
.
This is also Liu Bei's expectation and even temptation for Mi Yang.
The victory at Yangpingguan allowed Mi Yang to temporarily exercise the power of a general, but what if he actually won the war for the Han Dynasty that was related to the fate of the country?
That doesn't mean you can't delete the line in front of it.
Liu Bei's thoughts cannot be hidden from the ministers in the palace, but although the ministers are well aware of Liu Bei's thoughts, they also take it for granted.
If Mi Yang can really fulfill Liu Bei's expectations of him, then Mi Yang will have the three great heavenly powers. In that case, he will officially become the general of the Han Dynasty, so why not?
All the ministers couldn't help but admire Liu Bei's arrangement.
As all the ministers in the palace bowed to Liu Bei, it meant that Liu Bei's appointment was supported by all ministers.
But these hundreds of ministers did not know that Liu Bei had other reasons for this appointment.
Liu Bei wanted Mi Yang to temporarily take over the post of general, not only because of his love for Mi Yang, but because of the current situation, he had to give Mi Yang more power.
Although Liu Bei was far away in Chengdu, because of Mi Yang's magnanimity, he knew everything that happened in Liangzhou.
For example, Mi Yang asked Ma Chao and Zhang Fei to assist him.
To be honest, these two things were nominally beyond the scope of Mi Yang's authority. Ma Chao and Zhang Fei both had higher military positions than Mi Yang. What authority did Mi Yang have to ask Ma Chao and Zhang Fei to assist him?
But Liu Bei also knew that he had to obey authority when things were urgent, so he did not blame Mi Yang in his heart.
Only once can be counted as obedience, but what about the second time?
The Battle of Liangzhou was by no means just a war between the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei. Sun Quan might not be able to resist and get involved later.
Under this kind of worry, there must be a unified command between Liangzhou and Jingzhou. Otherwise, the national strength of the Han Dynasty is already weak. If all the strength is not gathered to fight against the enemy, is there any hope of winning the battle of Liangzhou?
In order to win this southern expedition, Cao Pi gave Cao Zhen great power, allowing Cao Zhen to mobilize countless resources.
And if you don't give Mi Yang the same power as Cao Zhen, Mi Yang will only fall into an increasingly changing situation in the long run.
This is Liu Bei's overall view as an emperor.
Only when one's name is upright can one's words be obeyed, and only by obeying one's words can orders be carried out. Whatever Cao Pi dared to do, Liu Bei naturally had the same pattern to do it.
If you want to completely command Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, you can only have the position of general.
Apart from this consideration, Liu Bei also knew that with the current strength of the Han army, if he wanted to defeat the Wei army, he could only attack the people's hearts.
The morale of the people not only refers to the morale of the military and the people, but also the morale of the generals.
Mi Yang was the commander-in-chief who resisted the Wei army, but Mi Yang alone could not resist it.
No matter how powerful a famous general is, he still needs the complete cooperation of his subordinates to unleash his full strength.
With Mi Yang's prestige, it is not difficult for him to get his subordinates to serve him, but this is only the aspect of prestige. To truly inspire people, prestige alone is not enough, and sufficient rewards are also needed.
What do Mi Yang's subordinates want?
It's nothing more than climbing the dragon and clinging to the phoenix.
As Mi Yang's subordinates, as long as Mi Yang develops better, their fighting spirit will become more enthusiastic, and they will be even more desperate to devote themselves to the big man.
And Liu Bei believed that when his edict arrived in Liangzhou, anyone who was not stupid could see his expectations for Mi Yang.
As long as his expectations are known to the generals of Liangzhou, in order for Mi Yang to truly become a general, and for the desire in his heart, the generals of Liangzhou will definitely burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit.
The general has the power to open a mansion and manage affairs. Once Mi Yang is able to open a mansion, his subordinates will be the first to benefit.
When one person attains the Tao, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven!
In terms of understanding the human heart, who in the world today can compare with Liu Bei?
And those who know people's hearts must be good at controlling people's hearts for their own use.
All of the above are the thoughts of emperors and cannot be interpreted by outsiders.
After all the ministers had no objection to his appointment, Liu Bei dealt with several important political matters, and then he issued the order to withdraw from the court.
When the ministers exited the hall one after another, Liu Bei was not in a hurry to return to the palace. He turned to Liu Chan beside him and said:
"Adou, I'm going to meet someone with my father."
Liu Bei's words stunned Liu Chan.
Since he became the crown prince, Liu Bei has not called him by his nickname for a long time.
And Liu Bei also called himself his father in his words, which shows that Liu Bei is now talking to him completely as a father.
I think Liu Bei's attitude was probably due to the person he was about to meet.
But who is that person?
This will make Liu Bei have such a huge change in attitude.
Liu Chan was very curious.
...
There were not many Huben followers, so Liu Bei took Liu Chan to a courtyard not far from the palace.
Although this villa is located near the imperial palace, it must have been carefully selected by Liu Bei. The environment is very quiet and suitable for people to rest and relax.
It was just the constant patrolling of guards outside the courtyard that made Liu Chan realize that the identities of the people living in this courtyard were definitely not simple.
And when Liu Bei opened the door of the other courtyard and entered the other courtyard, a figure appeared in the courtyard, causing a look of great consternation on Liu Chan's face.
Even though the man was disheveled and looked very depressed, Liu Chan quickly recognized the man's identity.
That person turned out to be Liu Feng!
Although Liu Chan is not very qualified, he is not a fool.

What Liu Chan didn't understand was that his father Huang Bei had already deposed Liu Feng, so why did he bring him here to see him today?
Like Liu Chan, when Liu Feng saw Liu Bei's arrival, he also had a look of astonishment on his face.
He has been imprisoned in this villa for nearly three years.
In the past three years, Liu Bei had never wronged him in life, but he had never come to see him.
Why did he come today?
However, no matter how serious the doubts were in his heart, Liu Feng still subconsciously came to Liu Bei and bowed deeply to him out of courtesy between the monarch and his ministers and as father and son:
"My son..."
"The foolish people pay homage to Your Majesty."
When calling himself himself, Liu Feng suddenly found that it seemed inappropriate for him to call himself a minister or son in front of Liu Bei, so in the end he had no choice but to call himself a fool.
Hearing Liu Feng calling himself a fool in front of him, Liu Bei felt a sense of pain in his heart.
He always regarded Liu Feng as his son in his heart.
Liu Bei subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Liu Feng's head, just like Liu Feng did when he was a boy.
Just when his hand was about to touch Liu Feng's head, Liu Bei suddenly stopped.
Liu Bei's move was noticed by Liu Feng, and he saw that Liu Bei's hand was only a few feet away from his head. Even though Liu Feng knew that he wanted to avoid suspicion at this time, even if Liu Feng didn't know the purpose of Liu Bei's visit today, he still didn't know what he was doing.
Due to the instinct of a son, Liu Feng took the initiative to put his head under Liu Bei's palm.
Liu Bei had the feeling of licking a calf, so why did Liu Feng lose his admiration?
In Liu Feng's heart, Liu Bei has always been his most respected father.
Liu Feng's instinctive action out of family affection made Liu Bei feel even more unhappy, but as an emperor, he quickly put aside his personal feelings.
A cold question came from Liu Bei's mouth:
"The thief Cao wants to harm me now, what should you do!"
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Liu Feng became furious.
With disheveled hair, he raised his head like a ferocious beast, and at the same time, his eyes exuded a strong murderous intent:
