Chapter 807 Mi Shi becomes king and Chou Guos theory comes out
Shocked emotions surged in Qiao Zhou's chest for a long time.
If others mentioned such a "joke" to him, Qiao Zhou would probably laugh and scold and dismiss it.
But now the person who told him this "joke" was Dong Zhang.
The Dong family has always been strict in their family style, and it is impossible for Dong Zhang to come back to Chang'an from Jingzhou thousands of miles away to deceive him.
therefore...
Qiao Zhou's breathing became more and more rapid. After a long time, Qiao Zhou finally summoned up the courage to hold back a sentence:
"After this battle, Da Sima can break the earth and become the king."
When Liu Bei was still alive, Mi Yang's title had already reached the peak of being unentitleable, so Liu Bei specially came up with the special title of "General Tiance".
Liu Bei once made it very clear that General Tiance was above the ordinary princes and kings, and his status was somewhere between that of the prince.
The reason why Liu Bei set the status of General Tiance so high, apart from the fact that he really regarded Mi Yang as his own son, was also to use this move to dispel some of Liu Chan's concerns after he succeeded to the throne.
Not rewarding meritorious service is not a Han tradition.
Especially for Mi Yang, who was the commander-in-chief of the Han army, if Mi Yang was not rewarded for his meritorious service, how would the generals who followed him in battle be rewarded?
In order that Liu Chan would not reward Mi Yang without reward in the future, Liu Bei specially gave Mi Yang the title of "Tiancei General".
Even considering Mi Yang's previous meritorious service, this kind of title can be called excessive promotion.
Since he has been over-promoted, if Mi Yang performs meritorious service later, Liu Chan will have reason not to reward Mi Yang greatly.
It can be said that Liu Bei worked hard, and anyone who knows a little bit about politics can understand his intentions.
But Liu Bei probably wouldn't have thought that just one year after his death, Mi Yang was about to start a war to destroy the country...
For ordinary achievements, with the title of Admiral Tiance, it doesn't matter if Liu Chan doesn't reward Mi Yang.
But once Mi Yang succeeds this time, it will be a battle to destroy the country!
On a larger scale, it can be called a battle for unification!
With such a great contribution, can Admiral Tiance's honor be held back?
I think it's still a bit thin.
In order to block Youyou's mouth, and to show off the righteousness of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chan could only give Mi Yang a new round of rewards.
And Mi Yang is already a general of Tiance, and with the new reward, only Wang Jue may be able to win over the people of the world.
In the past, Qiao Zhou would not have thought of this if he had taken the oath of the white horse.
But after Guan Yu was posthumously awarded the title of King, some of the restrictions were broken long ago.
In recent days, courtiers from both the government and the public have complained, thinking of re-establishing the title system of this dynasty.
"Imitate the story of King Xiang to demonstrate worldly loyalty and honor in name, but do not enjoy the power of food and military power."
With this kind of argument, it is not inconceivable that a living prince king with a different surname appears.
For a time, Qiao Zhou thought a lot.
Dong Zhang didn't expect that Qiao Zhou would suddenly say this, even though Dong Zhang thought Qiao Zhou's words made sense.
But on the surface, Dong Zhang didn't want to speak too fully:
"Da Sima has not yet achieved success, and Yun Nan's words are like water without roots. It should not be leaked out too early."
Dong Zhang warned Qiao Zhou.
Warnings are warnings, but Dong Zhang was very satisfied with Qiao Zhou's reaction.
Although Qiao Zhou is young, his character has always been calm.
Coming from a wealthy family, his knowledge is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people.
But even with this background, after Qiao Zhou suddenly heard that Mi Yang was going to destroy the country, he still couldn't control the excitement in his heart and made a mistake and said, "Mi will be the king."
This shows how much impact such news had on Qiao Zhou.
And if Qiao Zhou is like this, how will other young talents from other aristocratic families fare better?
Having made a judgment in his mind, Dong Zhang also did not want to beat around the bush in front of Qiao Zhou.
"Da Sima sent me back to Chang'an this time. On the one hand, he wanted me to send back a report. On the other hand, Da Sima wanted me to discover some young talents in Chang'an.
What a feat of war to destroy a country?
Great Sima is willing to share this kind of feat with all the talented people in Chang'an!"
After Dong Zhang finished speaking Mi Yang's second intention, Qiao Zhou, who heard the elegant meaning, stood up from his seat in a hurry.
"Is what Mr. Dong said true?!"
Because he was so excited, Qiao Zhou's voice became sharp and high-pitched when he said this.
The more excited Qiao Zhou was, the more satisfied Dong Zhang was.
Dong Zhang smiled and replied:
"Give me ten courages, how can you dare to falsely pass on Grand Sima Jun's orders?"
After seeing Dong Zhang's confirmation, Qiao Zhou's eyes lit up and he kept pacing back and forth in front of Dong Zhang impatiently.
At this moment, Qiao Zhou threw all the traditions of the famous family and etiquette out of the sky.
You must know that Chai Sang is almost in Mi Yang's pocket right now, and the main force of the Wu army is still trapped by Jing Nan and will not be able to come back for a while.
Under such circumstances, even a pig could see that Mi Yang's idea of leading an army to capture Jianye was very likely to succeed.
The Han people have a strong desire to make meritorious deeds since childhood.
What's more, what Qiao Zhou has in front of him now is not ordinary merit.
This is a war to destroy the country!
If Mi Yang can succeed, the horse under his crotch may be recorded in the history books that always cherish words like gold. Qiao Zhou feels that no matter how bad he is, he can't be inferior to a horse!
After pacing back and forth countless times, Qiao Zhou turned around and half-knelt in front of Dong Zhang. Subconsciously, Qiao Zhou wanted to say something to recommend himself.
Qiao Zhou has always wanted to restore Menlin, and now an excellent opportunity is placed in front of him. It is impossible for Qiao Zhou not to be tempted.
But before he even said the words of self-recommendation, Qiao Zhou had a concern in his heart.
As the saying goes, love comes from the heart, Dong Zhang saw from the change in Qiao Zhou's face that he had concerns, and he also knew what Qiao Zhou's concerns were.
"Although you are a guilty minister, the Prime Minister has always enforced the law fairly. You have accepted the punishment, and now you are pardoned.
Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of people in the Han family who have served the country after committing crimes, so you don’t have to worry."
Dong Zhang's words dispelled Qiao Zhou's first concern.
As for the second level, Dong Zhang thinks it is a benefit.
"You have been familiar with history books since you were a child, and you should know the story of Taizu and Yongchi.
You and Da Sima had some conflicts when you were young, and many ministers know about this.
Because of this, if you are the first to respond to the Great Sima, the Great Sima will not embarrass you, but will reuse you to show his openness to all rivers.
You should believe that Da Sima has such a big heart."
After listening to Dong Zhang's analysis, Qiao Zhoufan suddenly came to his senses.
At this moment, there was no hesitation in his mind.
Qiao Zhou bowed to Dong Zhang and said:
"Thank you Dong Gong for your enlightenment.
Mr. Dong, please rest assured that since Da Sima is determined to assemble heroes, Zhou will definitely do his best to help him."
Qiao Zhou was a smart man after all.
From Dong Zhang's words, he understood why Dong Zhang came to look for him in the first place.
And Qiao Zhou himself also wanted to be a useful person.
It just so happened that he had recently conceived an article called "On the Enemy of the Country."
Let him use this article to clear all obstacles in public opinion for Da Sima!
