It's Wang Mang and Cao Cao. The former usurped the throne of the former Han Dynasty, and the latter's descendants stole the artifacts of the present Han Dynasty...
Emperor Liu Chan silently answered in his heart.
He didn't say it out loud because he knew what Zheng Pu meant: The prime minister should not be exposed to the criticism of the world.
Naturally, he was also displeased.
How could Zheng Pu compare traitors like Wang Mang and Cao Cao with the Prime Minister?
After engaging in no-major and small-scale decisions to promote government to the public, it cannot be concluded that the prime minister is the one who can defeat the end!
If the two of them had not always been friendly and knew that Zheng Pu also respected the prime minister, he could not help but be filled with anger and scolded him sharply, and even ordered Huben to arrest Zheng Pu for slander!
call.......
Let out a deep breath.
Emperor Liu Chan tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and said with a slightly agitated tone, "Zijin, be careful what you say! An Neng can say such words that taint the reputation of your prime minister!"
"It is a capital crime to speak without restraint! A capital crime!"
Hearing this, Zheng Pu quickly stood up and saluted and apologized, but he still argued with reason, "Your Majesty, although Pu made a mistake, he also knows that the Prime Minister's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth. However, the world is still a common man, and he will not die in his determination to rebel against Wei and destroy me as a great man.
There are endless rumors of ruining our great Han Dynasty in Jiangdong! Wang Mang and Cao Cao are treacherous and rebellious. If Your Majesty insists on granting the Prime Minister Jiuxi, I am afraid that the Prime Minister’s good reputation will be criticized by the world!”
The emperor was speechless for a moment.
It was not that he thought what Zheng Pu said was wrong, or that he was angry at being reprimanded by Yan Zhijian.
It was the first time he felt Zheng Pu's perverse temperament.
Previously, whether Zheng Pu was discussing with him or admonishing him, he always used joking remarks to make innuendoes.
Maybe it’s because of the reputation of the father-in-law?
With such thoughts, the anger in the emperor's heart suddenly melted away, and his expression softened, "I have already said that this is just a small talk, Zijin should not behave like a train to the court."
After a pause, he added, "I know what Zijin said, so just take a seat."
"Thank you Mr. Liu for not committing any crime."
When Zheng Pu thanked him and sat down on the Hu bed, the emperor sighed again, "A person who is as sincere as his father-in-law can't help but be ruined by words. This can be said to be an ancient heart!"
Zheng Pu was silent.
When he was young, Fang slowly replied, "Returning to Liu Jun, because of the Qing Dynasty Zang Fu, later generations often judge their predecessors based on their achievements without regard to their hearts, and judge others based on their own likes and dislikes. Moreover, there are many mediocre people in the world, and there are many cases where three people become tigers.
.”
Three people become tigers?
The emperor raised his eyebrows, as if he had some realization, he lowered his eyes and stroked his beard without saying a word.
Zheng Pu also realized this.
According to the temperament of the emperor, if you accept his advice, you have already made a final decision.
Now he is just thinking for himself, which shows that his intention to add nine tins to the prime minister has not changed.
To be precise, it was because of his honest nature that he felt that he could not give enough courtesy to the prime minister who would support the Han Dynasty, so he felt resentful.
Therefore, Zheng Pu hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "Mr. Liu, Pu secretly thought that because of the merits of the Prime Minister and the expression of Liu Jun's wishes, the honor is not limited to adding nine tins."
Um?
As soon as he said these words, the emperor suddenly raised his head, his eyes were burning, and his voice was urgent and urgent, "Zijin, please speak quickly!"
"promise."
Zheng Pu nodded and responded, "Mr. Liu, what I am referring to is the legacy of the former Han Dynasty's prosperous Gui, Jue Fenghou."
Marquis Fou is Xiao He, who is known as the "first marquis founding the country" in the former Han Dynasty.
The prosperous track mentioned by Zheng Pu refers to the fact that the emperors of the previous Han Dynasty never forgot Xiao He's contribution.
For example, after Xiao He's descendants inherited the title, many of them were removed from the title due to childlessness or incompetence. However, empress Gao, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, Emperor Wu, Emperor Xuan, and Emperor Cheng all issued edicts to find someone else to restore Xiao He to the title of Marquis of Feng;
After the former Han Dynasty was usurped and destroyed by Wang Mang, there was no longer a Marquis of Fou in the world.
In other words, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He truly fulfilled the words of the Gao Emperor Liu Bang's White Horse Alliance: "The country will last forever and benefit the Miao descendants." Similarly, Zheng Pu persuaded the emperor to follow the story of the former Han Dynasty,
Let the prime minister's special merits and graces be honored to future generations and share the same fate with the country.
"The prosperity of the former Han Dynasty is like the story of Xiao He~~"
This time, Emperor Liu Chan murmured to himself with a very moved expression.
When Zheng Pu saw this, he took the opportunity to add, "Liu Jun, if you follow Xiao He's story, you can complete the story of the late emperor and the prime minister, and it will be the current trend!"
"Hey, what do you mean by this?"
As expected, the emperor urged him again.
Zheng Pu did not hesitate and said loudly, "The late emperor had the style of a great ancestor. The whole country entrusted the prime minister with his whole country. Since the prime minister was appointed, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly and is determined. This is not a good story about a monarch and his ministers. It is a prosperous track in this world! Moreover, Liu Jun was ordered by the late emperor.
Serving the Prime Minister as a father, and never losing his mind, he deserves the praise of Sheng Gui!"
"What Zijin said is wrong! It's wrong!"
After hearing this, although the emperor smiled happily, he waved his hands again and again, "Shenggui's praise is worthy of the late emperor and his prime minister. How could I be so virtuous and capable that I dare to follow Jiweixie!" He finally let go and stopped forcing it.
The idea of adding Jiuxi is, "As Zijin said, in order not to cause more disturbance to Xiangfu and to prevent young people from criticizing Xiangfu's good reputation, it is okay not to add Jiuxi."
"I cannot agree with Mr. Liu's words."
But unexpectedly, Zheng Pu grinned and retorted, "Nine tins cannot be added, and one tin cannot be disobedient? The late emperor ordered Liu Jun to serve the prime minister as his father, which is the king and his minister! When Liu Jun enters the prime minister's house, he returns to his own home, why not
Give it as 'Zhuhu'?"
"Great kindness!"
The emperor laughed when he heard this, stroked his back and said, "Zijin knows me! Hahaha~~~"
The matter has been settled, and the emperor is free to embrace it.
He stopped talking about the affairs of the court and instead talked with Zheng Pu about the long separation and the trivial matters of the upcoming northern tour.
After a while, their banquet was interrupted by a report.
"Your Majesty."
I saw Wang Hua, a close minister who was waiting respectfully in the distance, already within ten steps, bowing and asking for instructions, "Just now, Governor Zhao sent someone to ask for instructions, saying that Fu Qian and Wei Rong both shot ten times on foot and shot on horseback."
Among the nine, there is no distinction between them. So I ask Your Majesty to make a decision: Should Your Majesty add a reward? Or let them compare with each other at a hundred paces?"
"That's what it means to be a tiger in a general's door!"
Hearing this, the emperor high-fived him and praised him, his expression not surprising at all.
Because among the more than thirty meritorious disciples attending this meeting, Fu Qian and Wei Rong were the eldest.
Moreover, both of them had killed enemies on the battlefield in Longyou or Liangzhou, and had already mastered beheading skills. Naturally, they were more skilled in bow and horse than the meritorious disciples who stayed in the capital.
After praising him, the emperor did not immediately signal to Wang Hua. Instead, he turned to Zheng Pu and said with a smile, "Zijin was called 'Wei's Great Trouble' by Ni Wei, which shocked the enemy. Now it coincides with the meeting. It's not as good as this."
How about giving me a sword as a reward, and serving my country bravely and bravely as a strong man?"
"inappropriate."
Zheng Pu refused without thinking, "This is Liu Jun's business, and I have brought all the gifts from Jiangdong! I have no money left, please don't do anything to me, Mr. Liu!"
"Haha~~"
Unable to help it, the emperor couldn't help laughing, and turned around and told Wang Huadao, "I still have a short halberd in this camp, go and get it as a reward."
