Five hundred and ninetieth chapters turbulent current situation
After giving instructions to Mi Heng, the pottery merchant turned to look at the crowd and said: "Everyone, since ancient times, the birth of emperors and the arrival of saints and sages have followed rules. They cannot be established casually or in a hurry.
These things must have a basis, steps, and certain rules. I wonder if you can understand what I mean?"
The potter's words were heard by everyone, and many people didn't quite understand it for a while.
It is true, after all, this is the first time for everyone to support the emperor, and many of them have never even seen the face of the previous emperor.
This is unprofessional.
Zhao Yu stood up and said, "What the Master just said is too profound. I wonder if I can explain it clearly?"
Tao Shang smiled and shook his head, and then said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, please explain to everyone present what I meant just now."
Sima Yi stood up from the class and said: "Teacher's intention is to be a talented person. If you want to achieve great things, you must have the intention of God and the orthodoxy that can be recognized by all the people in the world. Only then can you be recognized by all the people step by step."
"for example?"
Sima Yi said word for word: "For example, the edict left by the late emperor, and another example, the newly established emperor, with different appearances, such as purple air coming from the east, a real dragon appearing in the sky, white cranes gathering together, etc."
The potter clapped his hands and said, "That's so right."
Everyone suddenly realized that Tao Shang's two moves were to suppress Fu Wan and to build momentum for Xiao Liu Xi.
As expected, he played slow and fast, with thoughtful ideas.
The potter looked around at the crowd, and finally looked at his two apprentices.
"Kong Ming, Zhongda, and Guo Jia are not here. I will leave the false edict and rumors about the late emperor's appointment of Liu Xi as crown prince to you. Don't let me down."
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
Mi Zhu hurriedly stood up and said: "Master, please don't talk nonsense. How can it be a false edict? It's a true edict! It's absolutely a true edict!"
After saying that, Mi Zhu turned to look at the Xuzhou civil and military officials and said, "Do you think so?"
All the civil and military officials in Xuzhou nodded quickly.
The Tutor is too arrogant. Even if everyone knows that it is a lie, they must at least be subtle. Although they are all his own people, it is not a glorious thing after all. You can confess whatever you say.
"True edict! Absolutely true edict! We are doing it according to the wishes of the late emperor."
"I heard that during his lifetime, the late emperor loved his eldest son Xi the most. After handling state affairs and going to court on weekdays, he would rush back to the palace to entertain his children."
"That's right, we are entrusted by God to hand over the authority of the country to the prince on behalf of His Majesty."
"If the late emperor knew that we were so loyal to him and taking care of future generations, he would be able to rest in peace."
The potter looked back and forth at everyone in confusion, and sighed: "Listen to what you mean, when the late emperor wrote the edict, you seemed to be watching from the side. If the late emperor knew that you were all so filial, he would definitely be happy to follow Jiuquan.
He will pop out from below and give you a gift."
Everyone bowed down together: "I dare not disturb the late Emperor."
After a while, after everyone stood up, Cao Bao suddenly stood up and said to Tao Shang: "Master, there is one more thing that Master needs to be careful about."
The pottery merchant looked at Cao Bao curiously and said, "Which thing?"
"After Fu Wan established the emperor, he sent people to the princes and granted them various titles. If those princes accept the order, they will fall to Fu Wan's side. This should not be guarded against."
The pottery merchant nodded upon hearing this.
"General Cao's words are very kind, but according to Tao's analysis, all the princes are not idle people. The current situation is complicated and everyone is waiting and watching. After this move is completed, it may not be able to achieve any great results.
"
Cao Bao said: "Although Taifu thinks so, he is not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case, it is better to be careful."
Lu Su stepped out of the class and said, "I think I have a bluffing plan that can solve this problem."
"Zijing tries to say something."
Lu Su said seriously: "Master, you can wait until you Heng has denounced Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, and supported Prince Xi to succeed to the throne. In the name of crusading against the traitors, you can claim to crusade Fu Wan and other rebels, and set a time for the crusade.
When the princes of the world heard about the expedition with an army that will overwhelm the country, they will definitely wait and see. Fu Wan and others will also be in panic all day long. This matter may be solved."
Cao Bao frowned when he heard this and said: "Lu Zijing, your words are so childish. How can we agree on a time for sending out troops for a conquest? On the one hand, accidents are easy to happen during this period and we are unprepared. On the other hand, doesn't it leave time for Fu Wan and the others to do their thing?
Prepare."
When Lu Su heard this, he smiled and said nothing.
Tao Shang explained for Lu Su: "Our current enemy is still Yuan Shao. We cannot use troops against Jingzhou. Zijing's words are just a bluff. We lied about the time of sending troops. Firstly, we can make the princes adopt a wait-and-see attitude. Secondly,
This will frighten Fu Wan and others, and they will definitely train their troops to protect themselves, guard the city, and not dare to invade the territory easily."
After hearing this, Cao Bao muttered: "Isn't this a lie..."
The pottery merchant rolled his eyes when he heard this, and secretly thought, "Don't you make enough noise on weekdays?"
Chen Deng stood up from the side and said, "There is a third benefit to this matter."
The potter turned to look at him: "What's the benefit?"
"Let's take a look at the current power layout in Jingzhou."
The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows and said, "Yuanlong, please be more careful."
Chen Deng advised Tao Shang: "After I arrived in Jingzhou, I obtained the support of Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others through Liu Bei and made Liu Qiong the emperor. However, he was a foreign guest after all, and in Jingzhou, he was not really capable of taking charge."
The person with real power is actually Liu Biao, while Liu Bei belongs to the outsiders and the Jingzhou clan, and Liu Zhang is the foreign aid."
The pottery merchant nodded and said, "Keep talking."
"Liu Qiong became the emperor, defeated the three princes, and became the prime minister. On the surface, he was the head of the puppet dynasty, but in fact, he was not. Most of the power and strength were still in the hands of Liu Biao, but the powerful clans in Jingzhou also
It is a big variable. And after Fu Wan became the prime minister, he would not succumb to others, and Liu Biao did the same. Sooner or later there will be a conflict between the two, so we can take advantage of this incident to take a look at the current situation.
Who has the final say in the puppet dynasty? And what will Liu Bei, caught between the two, choose in the end!"
The pottery merchant suddenly realized: "It seems that we really don't have to worry. There are many things that need to be taken step by step and looked at one by one. Although the power of the puppet dynasty seems to be large on the surface, after all, it is the temporary power of all parties.
It’s been pieced together, and it’s really hard to say what’s going on in their bones right now.”
…
Jingzhou, Jiangling.
Liu Bei has been very depressed these past two days.
After Fu Wan, Liu Biao, and fellow clan member Liu Zhang established the emperor in Xiangyang, they began to build a palace for the new dynasty as the foundation of the country.
The original intention of building a palace for the new emperor is good, but if personal feelings or lust are mixed in, this good thing will be changed.
Liu Bei was responsible for the construction of the governor's palace.
Logically speaking, this matter was actually a good job. When the pottery merchant built a palace for Liu Xie in Fan County, how much profit he made from it... Anyway, only the pottery merchant himself knows.
But when it came to Liu Bei, it became a chore.
The main reason was that Fu Wan and Liu Biao had differences of opinion.
One wanted to build a palace in Xiangyang, and the other suggested setting the capital in Jiangling, Nanjun.
Liu Bei was really sad to be caught in the middle.
