Chapter 866 Wang Xuan: I admit that I am a Taoist priest!
(I admit that with a tremor of my hand, I added an extra chapter. I didn’t even expect it. It turned out to be Schrödinger’s extra chapter!)
The level of trust between the two was extremely high, no worse than between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Liu Bei didn't have much thought when he asked, he was just curious about what Wang Xuan wanted.
"National Master!" Wang Xuan was not polite and said it bluntly.
"What the hell?" Liu Bei subconsciously picked his ears. He suspected that he had heard wrongly. He had heard of wanting to be made a marquis, and of being like a prime minister, but this was the first time he heard that he wanted to be a 'national preceptor'.
of.
Also, what is a national teacher?
The earliest national advisor in history only appeared during the Northern Qi Dynasty more than two hundred years later. Now of course Liu Bei doesn't know what a state advisor is.
Speaking of national preceptors, there is another interesting phenomenon. The first national preceptor in history was Fa Chang from the Northern Qi Dynasty. Since then, national preceptors have appeared in all dynasties. For example, Yang Junsong, the national preceptor in the Tang Dynasty, is a typical Taoist
A Christian and a master of Feng Shui.
Generally speaking, in the dynasties ruled by the Han people, half of the state advisors came from Taoism and the other half came from Buddhism. However, in the period ruled by ethnic minorities, all the state advisors came from Buddhism.
It means, you taste it, you taste it carefully...
The one exception was that Qiu Chuji was granted the title of Imperial Master by the Yuan Dynasty, but Qiu Chuji did not have any activities in the court of the Yuan Dynasty.
"Guoshi? Are you my master of the Han Dynasty?" Liu Bei looked at Wang Xuan and asked with confusion.
"No." Wang Xuan quickly waved his hand, "No matter what I do, I don't dare to say that I want to be the master of a country. That would be too shameless!"
When Wang Xuan said this, Liu Bei looked at Wang Xuan very strangely, and the meaning in his eyes was very obvious, "You are very shameless, don't you know?"
"What a look!" Wang Xuan rolled his eyes, put down his legs, and with a rare serious look on his face, he sat upright and looked at Liu Bei, "Ahem, Mr. Xuande, now I have to admit that, in fact, I am a Taoist priest!
"
Liu Bei stared at Wang Xuan with a look on his face as if he was going to tease me again.
Looking up and down again, Liu Bei sighed, "I really can't see anything about Zai Zhi that looks like a Taoist priest. Besides, you'd better stop acting so formal. It looks a bit awkward, or maybe
Let’s grant him the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, that’s more practical.”
Wang Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth, snorted coldly, and unleashed all his aura that had controlled the Ming Dynasty for decades. The aura that controlled the fate of more than a billion people, prospered a country with a word, destroyed a country with a word, and devoured the world with anger.
Liu Bei, who suddenly faced Wang Xuan for the first time, was instantly out of breath.
Although Liu Bei is also the leader of a party, after all, his control range is only a few million people. In Wang Xuan's eyes, he is just the leader of a small vassal state. Faced with Wang Xuan in this state, he is naturally overwhelmed.
He was pinned down and it was very difficult to breathe.
After losing his momentum, Wang Xuan sat back on the chair again, looking at Liu Bei who had cold sweat on his face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "How about it, it's not that I don't want to be too formal, but that I am formal, no one in this world
Who can bear it? As for being granted the title of marquis or prime minister, forget it, I don’t care about rights or anything like that."
"This, this, this..." Liu Bei took a deep breath and looked at Wang Xuan in surprise. He really couldn't understand where Wang Xuan's aura came from!
Although they had seen what the emperor looked like, they thought that even the Ling Emperor could not have given him such a great sense of oppression. This was not in line with common sense at all. It was like he could not understand how Wang Xuan was so murderous.
It's the same as how it came about.
How many people do you need to kill to accumulate so much murderous aura!
Looking at Wang Xuan, Liu Bei opened his mouth but did not ask. Since Wang Xuan didn't want to say anything, he probably asked in vain.
Regarding Wang Xuan's disdain for becoming a prince or prime minister, he also agreed that his achievements today were all thanks to Wang Xuan. If Wang Xuan had any intention, he would never be where he is now.
One day, after all, not only did he not understand the systems that Wang Xuan had set up, but no one else under his command did, and had never seen them.
"Okay, the national master will be the national master!" Liu Bei nodded and agreed to Wang Xuan's request.
The national preceptor is different from others and is closely related to the fate of a country. This is what Wang Xuan wants. For example, he can be granted the title of a prince or a prime minister. Now Wang Xuan is too lazy to take care of these political affairs, let alone that kind of official position.
After the communication was completed, the matter was settled.
At the regular court meeting half a month later, Wang Xuan mentioned the matter of Liu Bei being crowned king in public, and immediately all the civil and military officials asked Liu Bei to be crowned king.
Of course, Liu Bei had to refuse. Although everyone knew that since Wang Xuan proposed it, he must have discussed it with Liu Bei. However, in public places, the process of three requests and three concessions must be followed. This has nothing to do with hypocrisy.
After that, he asked Liu Bei twice for the title of king. Only then did Liu Bei reluctantly agree.
As for the title, it was also decided, King of Han, which means inheriting the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.
The king-conferring ceremony must not be shabby. At the same time, it must be announced to the world. Regardless of whether others acknowledge it or not, this reputation must be spread. However, if Wang Xuan wants to come, it will be fine if others do not agree. Cao Cao will definitely send someone to congratulate him.
It's not because of the good relationship. Liu Bei opened the door to claim the throne, and Cao Cao could naturally follow. With the momentum of the two families, it was enough to recognize each other's status. Other princes did not exist.
The rest is a problem for the big and small families in the country, and they will definitely come to congratulate you.
Last time, Wang Xuan's remarks about killing all the aristocratic families in the territory had spread throughout the three states of Hebei, even under Cao Cao's rule. Not to mention how many scolds and curses he received, it did make many people's hearts
Give birth to fear.
There is the example of Qingzhou. These people have to admit that even without the help of the aristocratic family, they can still develop the rule. In this way, the value of the aristocratic family will lose most of it. Without this amulet, many aristocratic families will feel
Extremely unsafe.
As for whether Wang Xuan will really do this, and whether Liu Bei will agree in the future, no one knows, but if they are asked to pin their family's hopes for the rise and fall of their families on the thoughts of these two people, these wealthy families will definitely not agree.
of.
So insecure!
However, if they were asked to just give up the foundation that their family had built up in Hebei for hundreds of years, they would be reluctant to do so. This would no longer be as simple as cutting off people and making money, this would clearly mean killing them all.
It is definitely not possible to just sit back and wait for death. The family has never lost the initiative.
Therefore, during this period of time, undercurrents were surging throughout the three states of Hebei, including the aristocratic families in other states and counties in the world, who were also secretly communicating with the aristocratic families in Hebei, planning something.
This time Liu Bei is going to proclaim himself king, and the corresponding actions will not be small. It can be expected that there will be a lot of turmoil and a lot of fighting.
