"What a Shunchang rebel." The Queen Mother's hands were shaking slightly and her face turned pale: "This man seemed to be loyal at first, but he is also a generation of Wang Mang. The Ai family is really blind..."
Wang Mang...
Ye Qing secretly smiled. At this time, he was the only one who knew that Cao Cao had been loyal before. The real change in history came about when the alliance against Dong became disloyal. Cao Cao failed to save Luoyang and secretly knew that the Han Dynasty was irreversible. However, at this time, Cao Cao had unfortunately died early, and what was left was just an empty shell.
That’s all.
How could the governor have any fear of the Han Dynasty?
Even Yu Fan from Jiangdong is flourishing and is reported to have infiltrated Changsha County in southern Jingnan. Only he has just gained a firm foothold in Yuzhou...
It’s not easy to start from scratch, but now in the penultimate round, we are on the same starting line.
In such a situation, where does the solution begin?
"Xuande, the Ai family has decided to order you to be the shepherd of Yuzhou." The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and sneered. She had carefully considered the princes around her. She really had no choice, or in other words, there was no better choice than the man in front of her.
Well, it is impossible to choose a foreign surname. No one who becomes powerful will respect her as the queen mother.
I can only consider it within my own clan, but who in the clan is more suitable than Liu Bei?
Moreover, when she was brought here, she had lost the opportunity to choose. The only thing left was to strive for good treatment. Thinking of this, she did not hesitate and ordered the princess: "You bring the package."
The innocent princess didn't say anything at this time, she pursed her lips and went over to get the package.
Reaching out to the package, the Queen Mother glanced at Ye Qing before reaching out and opening it.
When I opened it, everyone's eyes were fixed.
First there is a stack of blank edicts, and that's all. There are also six seals, all of which are made of jade tiger buttons, one and a half inches square and one inch high.
The most bizarre thing is that each of the six jade seals has traces of purple air. It appears faint at first, but in an instant it condenses and turns into purple smoke, and then turns into six dragons with inner ultraviolet red circling, making the air in the carriage feel heavy.
"Six seals of the Emperor?" Ye Qing's eyes were focused, showing a solemn look. The young emperor was young when he died, so the Queen Mother must have been in charge of the seals, so she brought them all.
The Queen Mother held the red purple jade seal, and saw the broken phoenix on top, slowly absorbing some of it and recovering somewhat. Ye Qing couldn't help but feel awe in his heart when he saw this.
At this time, the Queen Mother placed the six seals on the table and turned them over one by one to reveal the characters one by one.
The only difference between the Emperor's Six Seals lies in the inscriptions, which are:
The emperor's official seal - used for all appointments (princes, kings and officials);
The emperor's seal - given to princes and kings for their use
The Emperor's Seal - used whenever sending troops
The emperor's seal - used to recruit ministers
The emperor's seal - used to pay homage to foreign affairs
The Emperor's Seal - Serving the Ghosts and Gods of Heaven and Earth
That's it... A light flashed in Ye Qing's heart, as if he had some realization.
Emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to the production and use of precious seals. Historically, the number of imperial seals in each dynasty varied.
"Wanli Yehuobian": The emperor of Qin had six seals, which were followed by the Han Dynasty. There were eight treasures in the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty still followed its system. Nine were added by Huizong, and eleven were added by Nandu. There were seventeen seals at the beginning of this dynasty, and they were added by Shizong.
Seven, there are twenty-four people in total who have their palms on the Futai now.
There were twenty-four imperial seals of the Ming Dynasty, which was much larger than that of the previous dynasty.
But generally speaking, Ye Qing thinks there are only two types, three seals are enough.
The emperor is the system, which corresponds to the interior of the empire. In other words, he is the head of state. Therefore, the emperor's three seals correspond to the orders, princes, and soldiers.
The Son of Heaven is the Taoist system, which corresponds to the heaven and ghosts and gods - the execution of orders on behalf of heaven, the recruitment system, the vassal system, and the god-conferring system.
"The system and the orthodoxy are different. This is the same as the difference between the imperial court and the heaven. In fact, if we narrow it down to the limit, one is the emperor's seal, which represents the imperial court, and the other is the emperor's seal, which represents the divine authority. Together with the national jade seal
, the three seals are complete." Ye Qing understood instantly and closed his eyes and stopped looking at it carefully.
He applied to the Queen Mother several times for the pastoral care of Yuzhou. If Dong Zhuo had not blocked it, he would have got his wish. He was not surprised by the appointment, nor did he modestly decline. He just bowed and said: "I am willing to take on this important task."
The Queen Mother had actually been paying attention to Liu Bei... She probably had already figured out what she had brought with her when she escaped from the palace. No one came to take the Emperor's Six Seals by force. This was a statement.
I could understand the meaning, but I was always a little afraid. Until I saw Ye Qing in person, I just looked away and looked away. I felt a chill in my heart, an indescribable emotion, and a bit of relief.
"The emperor's six seals are all here, and he can still be so calm. This person's character is really terrible, but for the Han Dynasty, I did not choose the wrong person..."
"Moreover, judging from this attitude, I still have some value."
The Queen Mother thought like this, and took out another seal from her arms. It was exactly the same as the Emperor's Six Seals. It had a white jade tiger button, but turned over it was the "Queen's Seal"...
Like the Six Seals of the Emperor, this is something that has been passed down from generation to generation and is not exclusive to a certain queen. This one was passed down from Empress Lu back then.
Ye Qing glanced at it and felt a little confused - this was originally in the hands of the new queen, the "Tang Fei". This woman was not killed, but was guarding the mausoleum for the young emperor. In any case, the queen's seal was carried by the queen mother.
These are very strange things. I guess the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very bad...
The Queen Mother could not guess what Ye Qing was thinking, so she just touched the Queen's Seal with a dazed look in her eyes.
The Queen Mother said to herself at this time: "Which one should the Ai family use to issue an edict?"
"Everything is decided by the Queen Mother, I can't speak nonsense." Ye Qing said calmly.
The Queen Mother stared at Ye Qing for a long time, made up her mind, spread out the blank edict and started writing it.
She was familiar with this matter, so she issued a new decree and appointed Yuzhou Shepherd in front of Ye Qing.
He glanced at the Chixiao sword on Ye Qing's waist, thought about it seriously, added another sentence, and stamped it with the emperor's seal.
As soon as the seal fell, Ye Qing was in a trance.
Originally, Yuzhou's rolling torrent of luck was controlled by his family, but it always felt a little exaggerated. At this time, a dragon roar passed by, and the entire Yuzhou's luck gradually became unified and returned to him.
At almost the same time, a torrent of luck came from Jingzhou in the south, which was only half the size of Yuzhou.
"This is……"
The Queen Mother turned the decree over several cases and saw that the Queen of Yuzhou was followed closely by the Mu of Jingzhou...
Lian Ling Erzhou Mu
"Liu Shijun, how are you?" The Queen Mother even changed her title.
Ye Qing immediately bowed and said, "I thank the Queen Mother for your kindness."
"Thank you, Emperor." The Queen Mother did not avoid this bow, but she still reminded her because this decree was the Young Emperor's last edict.
Ye Qing then looked northwest and bowed again. This was to pay homage to the late young emperor.
After thanking him, there was another trace of dragon energy lingering around... Ye Qing realized clearly that this was recognized by Liu's Dragon Veins, what a subtle reaction...
The Queen Mother sighed slightly: "The Ai family wanted to pay homage to General Envoy Jun again..."
"Queen Mother, no." Ye Qing quickly declined and said frankly: "At this time, Yuzhou is under the control of my ministers. It is justifiable to accept this order. No one dares to disobey."
"There is no one in Jingzhou in the south. I have been ordered to send a general to occupy it."
"And a general cannot be awarded unless he has great merits. How can I accept it in vain if I haven't wiped out the rebels?"
Taking over two states has already made the world red-eyed. If we take over a general, won't it mean that we are besieged on all sides?
Even if you don't consider this, the general's position is ominous.
The general is the highest military position below the emperor, ranking higher than the three princes. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has been held by relatives. Liang Ji was killed by Emperor Huan, Dou Wu committed suicide after being defeated, and He Jin just died. After that, Cao Cao used the emperor to order
The princes were first generals, and later gave up the general position to Yuan Shao...
Luoyang has not completely fallen, and the Eastern Han Dynasty royal family is still using the son Dong Zhuo found from nowhere as a facade. The dragon's spirit has not disappeared, the resentment of the people has not been dissipated, and the merits and demerits of the two hundred years have not been determined. At this time, ascending to the position of general is just to stand in the way of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
disaster?
Ye Qing had some understanding of luck and felt that he was not such an idiot.
After all, it is not a good thing to rise too quickly. Not only will you not get luck, but you will also have to fill it with luck, especially now that there is only an empty sign in the Han Dynasty.
He could immediately gain a small amount of Jingzhou's luck, not only because the Han Dynasty still had some legitimacy now, but also because of its influence on the infiltration of Jingbei in the past two years.
The Jingzhou shepherd was specifically chosen for appointment. The Queen Mother was smart enough to realize this penetration. She was sad that she was just a woman, unable to truly control the system, and had no reliable power - husband, brother, son, no one was reliable, so her life was at risk.
If there is no guarantee, now you have to rely on yourself.
Seeing Ye Qing's firm gaze, the Queen Mother thought for a moment, put down the jade seal in her hand, and slowly pushed the table in front of Ye Qing. She hugged her daughter tightly and looked deeply at Ye Qing: "You are from the Han clan, and the Ai family is unfortunate.
I am an orphan, an orphan, and a widower, and I will all rely on you from now on."
Qianqian tasted the taste and looked at her husband. Seeing him pondering for a moment, he pushed the jade seal back and said, "From now on, the Queen Mother will decide everything big or small, just like today."
Seeing his firm expression, the Queen Mother felt relieved and felt a cold sweat on her back.
"The Ai family is tired, and Liu Shijun is with you in military and political affairs, so please come down," the Queen Mother said at last.
Ye Qing responded: "Yes"
After that, he bowed again and walked out slowly.
The soldiers were all standing nearby. When they saw Ye Qing coming out, they stepped forward to follow him.
Ye Qing raised his face and looked up at the gray sky. There was the sun behind the dark clouds. Ye Qing walked steadily for a long time before sighing.
With this imperial edict, the red dragon was further transformed into a dragon-like shape.
It is not yet time to become king, but preparations can be made for the general administration.
The orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty was destroyed by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian. It may not have much authority over the heroes, but it still has great influence on the local people. In just two years, the governors and magistrates of the two states would never dare to resist.
The current situation in Jingzhou is complicated. Ye Qing has a secret hand in the north of Jingzhou, but the south of Jingzhou is involved in the game between the Yu clan and Sun Jian's forces, and it is difficult to resolve at the moment.
Yuzhou will be united soon.
Western Henan is the base camp. During the past two years, the idea of "supporting the Han Dynasty and calming the troubled times" was cultivated. When the Queen Mother arrived, she was instantly impregnable...
You may be more solid to welcome the emperor, but what is solid is not yourself.
As soon as the Queen Mother arrived in Yuzhou, the local people who had taken refuge with Cao Cao some time ago were an exception. The county guards and county magistrates did not dare to refuse the Queen Mother Luan - when there was a large army behind the Queen Mother.
"After two years of patience, the time has come to turn from defense to attack against Cao Cao." Ye Qing was thinking this way. He had never made a large-scale counterattack on Yanzhou because he was concerned about maintaining the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. Now that he has righteousness in hand, he is invincible.
Qianqian looked at Ye Qing and wanted to say something several times, but fell silent again.
Ye Qing looked back with some feeling and asked: "Qianqian?"
"Ah...nothing, I just thought, the Queen Mother, on her side...well, won't she send a document asking for Dong's payment?"
Ye Qing didn't believe this and was a little amused. He just smiled and said, "Are you talking about the Jade Seal? Only the Six Seals of the Emperor can only be justified in the hands of the Emperor, or the Queen Mother."
"No one can doubt the Queen Mother's use of this seal, even if it is a pretense, but if I take it away, I will immediately become a traitor and traitor. Although the governor has no intention of being loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he has been in the border for more than ten years, he will immediately seize this official call."
The siege may be to demand Liu Jiaowen."
"And the Queen Mother knows that we can't rush at this time. She will only consolidate the two states... at least one and a half states. Northern Jing and southwestern Henan are connected to the Jianghan Plain. By integrating them, we can stabilize eastern Henan and attack Dong Zhuo without any worries."
Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a little embarrassed, and became serious: "Oh, is it in time?
"This time is coming soon, half a month, at most half a month... Just when we send troops to rescue Tao Qian of Xuzhou, we will send Dong Xiwen to see whether Cao Cao will withdraw his troops or not."
Ye Qing spoke through the message and smiled secretly: "Hasn't the Governor been colluding with Dong Zhuo to create a dilemma for me? Now that I have righteousness in hand, I will in turn build momentum and force him to either go with us to challenge Dong, or be taken advantage of by the heroes.
With or without withdrawing the troops, it will look ugly, there are traps waiting, and the fake Cao's face will be exposed in one fell swoop, which will disappoint the crowds of heaven and the people - the way to gather the crowd will no longer be possible.
In the final analysis, victory or defeat depends on strength. There are only 3,000 people on the ground now. How does it compare with the 60 million Han people?
The people on earth were still a minority among the three kingdoms. Before creating the destiny, they had to take advantage of the situation. Dong Zhuo killed the young emperor and the governor assassinated Emperor Xian. This indeed created a situation where the Han Dynasty was in decline.
After successfully rescuing the Queen Mother, this situation was broken and the road was opened. The next step was to rely on strength to fight.
