This was just a slight anger, not directed at Zhang Fangbiao, but Zhang Fangbiao felt a chill in his heart and said hurriedly: "These two people really don't know the current affairs. As long as the lord gives an order, I will go and take the heads of these two people."
Ye Qing sneered, but waved his hands and said nothing. His boots made the wooden boards squeak as he led the people into the hall.
This is a newly opened main hall, located in the northwest of the imperial city. The halls are connected together. It is very deep and quiet. The paint on the pillars is not peeling off, it is just slightly old. The banquet has been prepared and distributed on both sides.
Ye Qing took Zhang Fangbiao away, stopped in front of the door, looked at the plaque, and said casually: "These two men are just seeking death on their own, but they cannot be punished without being taught."
Zhang Fangbiao felt even colder after hearing this. These two people were valued by the Lord, but they had this attitude at this time, and he was speechless for a moment.
Suddenly he had an epiphany. The reason he was frightened just now was not because Ye Qing really had the aura of a bastard, but because he was holding the power at this moment and could take over life and death with a single thought, so he was awe-inspiring and frightened.
While he was thinking about it, Ye Qing saw this situation from a little further away. A smile flashed in his eyes, but then he suppressed it. He strode up the stairs and when he arrived inside, he heard a song: "The King Ying has arrived."
At this time, the ministers who stayed in Luoyang, the original ministers of Ye Qing, and the new princes, as well as some new members of the aristocratic families, all kowtowed together and shouted: "Greetings to the thousand-year-old king..."
"Everyone, get up." Ye Qing smiled and raised his hand: "These days, we have been rectifying Luoyang, returning the people to their hometowns, and reorganizing and lowering the troops. We are all tired. I will entertain you all to relieve your fatigue - come here
People, have a banquet”
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
The newly-appointed eunuchs and maids were in a hurry, and the bells and bells rang together, and the dishes were brought into the palace to the sound of music. Seats were laid out. Ye Qing took the seat first, and all the officials sat down together. Then these eunuchs and maids quietly left.
At this time, the great hall fell silent, and all the officials sat upright, looking at the King Ying intently, waiting for his words.
"I have been under the imperial edict of being imprisoned alone for three days, but I have never been free." Ye Qing said lightly, as if talking to himself, but every word was clearly audible: "Seeing that the situation has stabilized, we have to rebuild again.
The imperial court, this is a first-class and important matter."
From the moment the banquet started, everyone couldn't help but suppress their smiles and straightened their backs to listen. There was no sound of coughing in the entire hall.
Everyone knew that these words Ye Qing said were not without intention - they were to declare his legitimacy and to rebuild this legitimacy.
"I was ordered to supervise the country, and I want to rebuild it. Some people advised me to change the rules, but I replied, and I haven't changed my father's ways for three years." Ye Qing looked at the people and said: "We should recommend experienced people who plan for the country.
Let me take charge of the three masters. My master, Lu Gong, seems to be able to take on one of them. What do you think?"
Everyone immediately understood Ye Qing's political meaning, secretly thinking about it, and admired him greatly.
During the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Officials were eliminated, with only a deliberation function and no actual rights. The Shangshutai became a decision-making body during the Eastern Han Dynasty, but its prestige was still there. With the big names of the old dynasty serving, authority could be quickly determined. These are really watertight.
Thinking of this, someone took a step forward and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Qu Huai is very appropriate. Lu Gong is your Majesty's mentor. He also served as the prefect of Jiujiang and Lujiang. He put down the barbarian rebellion and was reinstated as Minister. At this time, he is serving as the Third Duke.
Justified."
Ye Qing said with a smile: "Since the ministers said this, I feel relieved."
Having said this, he glanced around the hall and said: "Master Zi is a famous person in the world, and he was also my benefactor. In terms of love, he is not inferior to my master Lu Gong. Unfortunately, he is not in this hall. If you come,
How dare I not salute you even more, I should worship you as the Third Lord."
This was said mildly, but some people heard it with awe.
"But what monarchs and ministers talk about is integrity and integrity. Dong and his thieves killed the emperor. How could he be able to establish an emperor again? Originally, the overall situation was undecided. The purpose of serving the false emperor was to preserve the vitality of the court. But now, at this time and that time, he does not respect the orthodoxy. How can he
Can you say there is a big deal?"
"Yan Yun, go and lobby." Ye Qing called his name: "If Master Zi can lead all the officials who went to Chang'an back to the capital, he will have meritorious service and he will be worshiped as the third prince."
Some people in the palace looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No one in the court knew that Wang Situ was stubborn and that this job was thankless. I was afraid that it would be in vain if Wang Ling, my nephew, went there.
But King Ying's words have been finalized. If he doesn't come again, it will be a big loss and it will appear to be rebellion.
When the time comes, he can be killed, punished, and forgiven all in one thought.
Moreover, Ye Qing's business was fair and aboveboard, and no one had anything to say, let alone being mean or ungrateful. Wang Ling realized this immediately, his face turned bitter, but he still stood up and bowed in response: "I honor your orders."
I won’t go into details below, but leave a position for the Three Officials for these people to pursue. As for the official position with real power, it is impossible to leave it to these people, and it must only be given to one’s own confidants.
This is not only a reward for merit, but also a political necessity. The kind of person who surrenders his vital points for the sake of reputation, whether he is a monarch or a minister, can only be said to be a sophomore in middle school.
Ye Qing waved his hand at this time: "I'm done talking, let's start the banquet."
Suddenly the music started, and after everyone thanked them, they gradually relaxed.
At this time, looking from the stage, the hall was full of civil and military officials. People from the princes and aristocratic families had come to join him one after another, bringing with them a large number of talents.
After three rounds of drinking, many people on the ground surrendered. At this time, their eyes flashed and they secretly communicated with each other.
"Hearing that Yu Fan was in trouble after his defeat, Ye Qing ordered Huang Zhong to immediately go south to capture Jingnan while he was fleeing to Jiangdong... He also ordered Jiang Chen to capture Bingzhou. This man possessed Zhang Liao and was from a wealthy Bingzhou family with many in-laws.
, In the past, we could only recruit some veterans, but when the storm swept through, we raised our arms and surrendered, and the descendants gathered in large numbers, which finally proved to be convenient... It’s time to prepare for a rainy day."
"Ye Qing wrote a personal letter to Liu Yan in Yizhou, saying that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was defeated and the sloping valley road has been opened. He is willing to hunt with Liu Yizhou in the Chang'an Forest Park... Tsk, tsk, you know how to hunt, are you hunting deer or the world?"
"And Zhang Fei went to retrieve Youzhou, and brought the Queen Mother an edict to persuade Liu Yu, the relatively cowardly shepherd of Youzhou, to surrender... This is not enough to occupy the general situation, but also to integrate the power of the Liu clan."
All kinds of information about the use of troops were semi-public. At this time, they quickly spread among the crowd, showing Ye Qing's powerful power.
And limited to the mortal perspective, not everyone can see the extent of the invasion of the Outer Territory in the lower earth, let alone the war between the Outer Territory and the Yin Soldier Group.
These people on the ground almost regarded Ye Qing as the emperor of the lower earth at this time, and they calculated in their hearts - even two of the three great Yangshen immortals were killed. Seeing that the unification of the lower earth was imminent, who else could the position of the earthly prince belong to?
The governor who fled, or Yu Fan who fled?
It will only be Ye Qing
The clearer this idea became, the people on earth couldn't help but become anxious.
When the banquet was over, people on the ground approached Ji Caizhu, who had just joined Luoyang to take charge of affairs. Everyone knew that he was responsible for the Ye family's foreign affairs. At this time, they all asked: "My family is willing to form an alliance with Ye Gong on the ground."
"My home is in Nancang County. I am willing to turn my back on the dark and turn to the light."
"My home is in Qiyang City, I would like to respond..."
Seeing that the conditions of these guys are becoming more and more shameless, some families are getting anxious. One impetuous young man yelled: "My family is willing to be a vassal of Yinghou"
As soon as this sound fell, the whole hall was silent. Everyone looked back in surprise and saw that the imperial court had not yet granted Ye Qing a title...
"Why is it that Ye Bang is so talented that not only Ying Hou but also Ying Wang can do it... No, now he is Ying Wang." When the young man saw that he had made a mistake, he did not change his words. He said cunningly.
The pun is used, implying that Ye will be ranked second in the list and can go further in the future.
This is a ploy...many people on earth know Ye Bangyan's dark history and slander him. Can you please do something new? It's like this every time.
At this time Ji Caizhu smiled and clapped his hands: "Please come in and talk in detail."
After hearing this, the young man immediately went in happily. He didn't know that he was facing a three-inch thick contract, but several people woke up and shouted: "I am willing to surrender."
"I am willing to be the pioneer for the king"
Some independent magicians shouted: "I would like to join General Fudi's magician group."
The atmosphere at the scene was as intense as fire. Some of the princes of the prefecture's noble families looked ugly when they saw it... It was impossible for these wealthy families to be so shameless. Besides, it's okay to be shameless, as long as there are benefits - the Ye family is far from having this strength, and they also give
I can't afford this benefit.
It's just that now, most of the elite small families in Yingzhou who have not yet fallen are working here. Although these small families are inconspicuous, when they are gathered together, they are a powerful force that can influence Yingzhou.
With them joining, not to mention the world below, even the ownership of Yingzhou in the above world will have no suspense - as soon as the title of Marquis of Ying is given, he will immediately become the number one person in Yingzhou
Only then did a few people realize why Ye Qing put so much energy into the soil, and even tried to be friendly with the natives to gain an advantage. Everything was decided for one round...
Ji Caizhu's face turned red at this moment, and he glanced at everyone one after another with a slightly dazed yet joyful gaze. He sighed in his heart: "My lord is really unfathomable."
He naturally understands that a man's knees are the same as a woman's integrity. If something happens to someone the first time, it will happen a second time. This is something everyone knows.
Don't look at Xiatu's surrender statement, which is just words without substance. Most of them have the idea of exchanging a big tree to reap benefits. Without this special situation and interest environment, the actual return to the ground will be greatly reduced...
But if Ye Qing really gets the title of Marquis, will these guys persist for as long as they did this time?
Most likely it softened immediately?
The so-called heroes of Yingzhou, I'm afraid they all dispersed in the rain and wind before they started fighting.
Not mentioning Ji Caizhu's thoughts, Ye Qing waved to the reporter in a side hall: "Wait outside for now."
He stood up again and walked slowly under the window, looking into the distance. After a long time, he said to someone: "You are the governor's envoy - is this the governor's request?"
"Yes, the Governor has said that now that Mr. Ye has gained momentum, the Governor is also focused on fighting against the outside world, so he will not suffer the same fate and take advantage of outsiders."
"As long as Mr. Ye ascends the throne in Xiatu and makes Cao Cao king and the two states become autonomous, the Governor-General will assist Mr. Ye and quickly unify Xiatu."
After hearing this, Ye Qing's eyes sparkled.
As expected of an old official, he is courageous in many places, but when it comes to politics he is very accurate and ruthless.
Fighting against the Outer Territory is a big deal, but it is not a matter of one person. You, Ye Qing, take advantage of the situation and eat meat, and I drink soup as a matter of course. If you are not even willing to do this, then what is your intention of monopolizing the earth, Ye Qing?
What does the court think?
What do all the county officials in Yingzhou think?
Whether to secede from Yingzhou or integrate into our circle of Yingzhou’s powerful people can be decided in one word.
After wandering for a few steps, Ye Qing had made up his mind and said coldly: "When people on earth are appointed to officials in counties, counties or even the central government, I will welcome them with open arms and share our destiny together."
"You can even make a king, but if you tell the governor to crack the earth, don't even think about it."
When Ye Qing said this, he had an indescribable expression: "I, Ye Qing, have risen and become white. Everything I gain is earned by myself. The benefits that I will never gain in the war will be handed over at the negotiation table."
It's not that he is determined to have his own way, but Ye Qing clearly knows that in troubled times, the most valuable thing is the original circle and rules.
Anyone who surrenders to the old forces in troubled times is clearing the way for the new king.
"If you don't accept it, come and fight." Thinking of this, Ye Qing smiled coldly and said.
