Chapter 201 The New Emperor
"Proclaimed emperor!?" Luoyang, the General's Mansion, when Chen Mo learned that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor, he was a little confused as to what Yuan Shu was thinking.
Yuan Shaoxiong is in Hebei, Cao Cao is in the Central Plains, and Chen Mo is in Guanzhong. The three families are all princes occupying the three states. No one dares to think of becoming emperor. Even Chen Mo and Cao Cao have not even changed their official positions. Now they are
What was Yuan Shu thinking, who had only beaten Lujiang and Jiujiang counties?
"My lord, if Yuan Shu becomes emperor, Cao Cao and Sun Ce will not sit idly by. Although we are beyond our reach, we should be condemned in terms of momentum. Yuan Shu will be destroyed this time, but the situation in Jianghuai will change. Lujiang and Jiujiang counties will be destroyed by Cao Cao.
, the Sun family will divide it up." Xun You bowed and said.
Chen Mo nodded: "Order Ni Heng to write a document condemning Yuan Shu's act of transgression, and order Wu Yi to lead his army to retreat to Xingyang, so that Cao Cao can annihilate Yuan Shu with peace of mind."
In this matter, he and Cao Cao had the same interests, and even the interests of the princes in the world were the same. As members of the Han Dynasty, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang only dared to claim the throne. Yuan Shao, Chen Mo, and Cao Cao, who dominated the three states, only had their own interests.
To support the establishment of an emperor, you, Yuan Shu, now have so little wealth and dare to climb over us. Are you crazy to want to be the emperor?
On the side, Yang Xiu saluted Chen Mo and said: "My lord, although our army cannot take care of the Jianghuai area, it may be better if the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang are obtained by Sun Ce. In this way, Sun Ce's power will inevitably be controlled by these two counties."
He was restrained and had no time to take care of Jing Xiang."
"It's not easy for him to take Jing Xiang." Chen Mo heard this and shook his head with a smile: "This matter is something that Cao Cao should worry about. It's not my turn to worry about it for him."
The Jingxiang gentry may be unwilling to expand outward, but when others come in, they are extremely united. I have not seen Lu Bu defeat Liu Biao several times, but when he tried to set foot in Jingxiang, he returned without success several times. Sun Ce wanted to take Jingxiang
Likewise, the only thing that worries Chen Mo is Liu Biao's age. If Liu Biao dies, chaos will inevitably break out in Jingzhou, and there will definitely be an opportunity to take advantage of it.
But Chen Mo just felt that Liu Biao was old and his time was running out. Chen Mo couldn't tell when he would die. He just had this worry, but at least he didn't need to worry too much for now.
"Lord, do you want to report this to Your Majesty?" Xun You bowed to Chen Mo and asked.
"It is a matter of concern to the Emperor. We should definitely inform His Majesty." Chen Mo nodded, looked at the time, put down the file in his hand and said, "Well, it happens to be time for the morning court. Let's go to court together and inform His Majesty of the matter."
Although the emperor was a puppet, he couldn't really ignore anything. At that moment, Chen Mo took Xun You, Xu Shu, Li Ru, and Yang Xiu to the court. When they came to the palace, they saw Yang Biao, Zhong Yao, Zhao Wen and others.
Already waiting outside the palace.
"Why don't you, gentlemen, enter the palace?" Chen Mo led everyone forward, and after meeting the three princes, he looked at the ministers and smiled.
"Your Majesty has not summoned you yet." Zhao Wen shook his head.
"Then wait." Chen Mo smiled and chatted with San Gong. There have been a lot of things lately. Although the dirty water in the name of regicide has been poured on Chen Mo from Cao Cao, under Chen Mo's rule, Cao Cao's regicide was basically all
Things that people recognize.
"Does Marquis Changling know about Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor?" Yang Biao cupped his hands and asked.
"I heard about it." Chen Mo nodded: "I am going to court today to discuss this matter with His Majesty."
"Oh? Are we going to send troops again?" Yang Biao asked.
"I'm afraid it won't be possible to send troops. If we want to attack Yuan Shu, we must go under Cao Cao's rule. I'm afraid Cao Cao won't allow it." Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Then what are Marquis Changling's plans?" Zhao Wen asked curiously.
"I ordered Zhongmu's troops to retreat to Xingyang, so that Cao Cao can attack Yuan Shu with peace of mind. It seems that this is all we can do now." Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Hey, the highway is also from a famous family, why are you so confused?" Yang Biao sighed, the Yuan family and the Yang family are family friends, and they are also close to each other by marriage. Now Yuan Shu's behavior is considered perverse, and it is his own fault to attract the princes to attack him.
"Maybe I can't see the future." Chen Mo nodded, he could understand Yuan Shu's choice.
Among these princes, in terms of origin, Yuan Shu is the most respected. After the war against Dong, the number one prince in the world at that time was not Yuan Shao but Yuan Shu. Nanyang, Runan, Huainan, Jiangdong, and Yuzhou were all Yuan Shu's territories.
Most of the Central Plains and Jiangdong belong to him.
But today, Yuan Shao, Chen Mo, and Cao Cao have all caught up and surpassed him. The Central Plains are divided into three parts, but he can only survive between Jiangdong and the Central Plains. Even Sun Ce, who was his own account in the past, has now surpassed him after he became independent.
I'm afraid Yuan Shu's temperament cannot accept the gap.
"I don't think Marquis Changling will excuse him." Yang Biao said in surprise when he heard this.
"It's not an excuse. If you deserve a fight, you have to fight. Let's just discuss the matter." Chen Mo was waiting for the emperor to come to court and talking about the current situation with everyone. He didn't feel bored, but until the sun was up, the officials were already a little impatient.
But the emperor was still missing.
"Yang Ping, go see why His Majesty hasn't come to court yet. Remember, don't be rude." Chen Mo frowned, found Yang Ping among the ministers, and asked Yang Ping to go see what the emperor was doing.
"Here!" Yang Ping agreed quickly and trotted towards Nangong with a few eunuchs.
Everyone waited for a while, and Yang Ping trotted back and saluted Chen Mo: "My Lord, Your Majesty said that he is ill and will not go to court today. Please come back temporarily."
Yang Biao frowned when he heard this: "Your Majesty is really ill?"
Not only Yang Biao was unhappy, but other ministers were also unhappy. They had been waiting all morning, and then they disappeared?
"This..." Yang Ping hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "I have not seen your majesty, but the eunuch next to your majesty came to deliver a message!"
The ministers looked at Chen Mo. This was a bit outrageous. Even if he was really ill, he should have sent someone to tell everyone.
"Go and ask the imperial doctor to come over. If you have nothing important to do, we will go together to see your majesty." Chen Mo gave the order, then looked at the ministers and said: "Your majesty has just succeeded to the throne and has been living in the market in the past. Maybe it is not the rule of the court.
Very understanding."
The ministers immediately nodded in agreement, and then a group of people followed Chen Mo towards Nangong.
As soon as they arrived at Nangong, they saw two eunuchs coming forward to stop him: "Marquis Changling, gentlemen, Your Majesty is ill and it is inconvenient to receive you!"
"Just in time, I came here with the imperial doctor's order to diagnose and treat His Majesty's body." Chen Mo walked straight forward. The two eunuchs did not dare to stop him, so they could only trot into the palace to deliver the order.
Chen Mo and other ministers came to the outside of the palace, but before going in, they saw a group of palace maids flaunting their flowers, nakedly dressed, and laughing. Surrounded by a group of palace maidens, Liu Neng covered his face with a silk scarf.
He was having fun with a group of palace ladies.
Chen Mo's face didn't look good. Not only him, but a group of ministers also showed displeasure when they saw this. Even if he was a puppet, he should at least save some face for the Han family.
"How dignified are you!?" Zhao Wen couldn't help but snorted angrily.
The eunuch finally squeezed in through a group of warm and fragrant soft jade, and shouted to Liu Neng: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Changling and the three princes and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have come to visit your Majesty."
"Didn't I tell you that I'm sick and can't see you?" Liu Neng said, tearing off the silk scarf from his eyes impatiently.
Yaizhen's destiny is 18, his luck is 85
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and said with a slight salute: "Your Majesty, please put state affairs first."
His voice was clear and high-pitched, and for a moment, it suppressed the voices of all the warblers and swallows in the entire palace.
"It's Chen Aiqing, please tell me earlier." Liu Neng seemed to have just seen Chen Mo and his group, with a smile on his face, he trotted over, took Chen Mo's hand cordially and said: "If I had known that it was Aiqing coming here, I would have
If you are really sick, you have to see if you are your beloved."
"I don't dare." Chen Mo bowed and said, "It's just that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and it was related to the state. I had no choice but to disturb His Majesty's pleasure. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"Yuan Shu, I know, there are four generations and three princes. Nowadays, there are people who call themselves kings and emperors everywhere. There are not many more of him. Considering his family background, it is not too much." Liu Neng took Chen Mo's hand and said.
"This is an act of arrogance. Although everyone in the world is now claiming kings and emperors, they are all members of the Han clan, and Yuan Shu is not worthy of it!" Chen Mo bowed.
"What's the point of being worthy or not? The world is like this now. It's just a name. What's the point?" Liu Neng waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "If Aiqing also wants a king or something, I'm sure.
"
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!" Chen Mo said with a salute, "I dare not overstep my bounds."
"Boring, boring." Liu Neng waved his hand and said, "Ai Qing can take matters into his own hands, and all the gentlemen will obey your orders. No matter what Chen Qing decides, Chen Qing's decision is my decision. All gentlemen only
It just needs to be implemented well.”
"His Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, it just so happens that all the princes are here today, so I will hold a banquet in Zhuolong Garden. Speaking of which, I don't know the names of the princes yet, but this is..." Liu Neng looked at Yang Biao beside Chen Mo.
"Veteran Yang Biao, now holds the position of Taiwei." Yang Biao bowed.
"Lieutenant, speaking of it, Taiwei should be above Chen Qing, but why does it feel like Chen Qing is the one who calls the shots here?" Liu Neng asked curiously.
"It's not that I make the decision, it's just that you, the ministers, see that I am young and don't argue with me." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Chen Mo smiled and said: "Moreover, I am responsible for foreign campaigns. Now that Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, this matter was brought up by me. So,
It is up to me to report."
"That's it." Liu Neng nodded and said, "Let's go, let's have a banquet, just in time for me to get close to the king and his ministers."
