"The king actually refused! Won't he ascend the throne?"
"It's not that the king doesn't ascend the throne, I think it's because your head is not working well!"
"Three words and three advices! That's it!"
After leaving the palace, hundreds of officials surrounded Liu Bowen, who was in charge.
Refuse to Li Xiang. Liu Bowen was well prepared. Seeing that some of the officials were impatient, he said: "My lord, if you refuse, we can persuade you to come in again. You go back and wait for the news. Not long ago, I and my colleagues will issue another call. At that time, we will Let’s persuade the king to ascend the throne together!”
"Here!" After hearing this, all the officials felt relieved and went back to work. The war has just ended. This is the busiest time for all officials, and everyone is too busy to stop.
There was nothing I could do, this time was different from before, when forcing Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to grant nine gifts was just a subtle temptation. But this time, they blatantly forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate, which was equivalent to directly breaking up with Emperor Xian of Han.
Either you don’t do this kind of thing, or if you do, you must get it right and do it successfully. Once it is completed, all of them will have the merit of supporting it and the merit of following the dragon. If it can't be done, it will become a joke.
Liu Bowen then said to Changsun Sheng and Wei Xiaokuan: "Two generals, the palace guards are under the control of the two generals. The affairs in the palace need to be taken care of by the two generals. We can communicate with each other to ensure that everything is done during the king's ascension to the throne." smoothly."
Changsun Sheng and Wei Xiaokuan, one of them is Li Xiang's old father-in-law, and the other is Li Xiang's early counselor. Although these two people have not been active on the battlefield in recent years, they still shoulder the important task of guarding the palace. The two of them looked at the Han Emperor, which showed the trust in the two of them!
Liu Bowen specially asked these two people, just in case. After all, dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious. Now, what they are forcing is Emperor Xian of Han's bottom line. Who knows if this kid will suddenly become so passionate that he becomes irrational?
Wei Xiaokuan's elegant and resolute face showed some flushing. After many years, the lord has finally reached this point. Wei Xiaokuan is more excited than others. Hearing this, he clasped his fists and said, "Chief officials, please rest assured that the guards in the palace will protect your majesty!"
Although Liu Bowen didn't say it clearly just now, Wei Xiaokuan understood the deep meaning of Liu Bowen's words at a glance and knew that Liu Bowen wanted them to keep an eye on the little emperor to prevent any problems at the last moment. The closer we get to the end, the more stable we have to be.
After leaving the palace, Liu Bowen summoned several major civil servants in Luoyang City for a meeting.
Liu Bowen first said: "We have also considered the king's rejection. Three days later, we will once again join forces with hundreds of officials to enter the palace to persuade him to enter. What do you think?"
Fang Xuanling, Jia Xu, Han Fei, and Guo Jia all agreed. After accepting these three words, people in the world will know the modesty of King Jin, which is a good thing for the reputation of an emperor.
Jia Xu thought about it for a while and said: "My king is brave and wise, and all the people sincerely respect him, which has never been seen in the past. Only the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times can compare with the reputation of my king. We are just a simple court meeting to persuade people to come, and I am afraid we are not worthy of it. The prestige of my king in the hearts of the people."
Jia Xu was originally the kind of person who didn't care about things, but this time Liu Bowen couldn't wait to fix this incident just after the war. Jia Xu was not willing to lag behind at this time.
Anyone with a bit of political acumen would probably be reluctant to do this kind of thing. Once done, the benefits will be great. And if you don't do anything and don't ask, wouldn't it make Li Xiang unhappy if Li Xiang noticed it?
Therefore, Jia Xu, who has always tried his best to downplay his existence and be as transparent as possible, has become a vanguard this time.
The military advisors began to think after hearing this.
Jia Xu stroked his gray beard, his eyes full of smiles, and said: "It is inevitable for my king to ascend the throne. With my king's wisdom, Wu Zhi will definitely be able to restore the prestige of the Han Wu period, and Wenzhi will definitely be able to restore the Wen Jing period. of prosperity. No!"
Jia Xu stood up and said: "It must be more powerful than the Hanwu and Wenjing periods. In the future, my king's glory will definitely be left in the history books. But at that time, just recording our simple persuasion to advance would be detrimental to my king's wisdom. "
Jia Xu spoke so passionately that Liu Bowen secretly winked at him, saying to himself that Jia Xu, an old fox, was so excited this time and took the initiative to take the credit.
Guo Jia couldn't help but ask: "Wenhe, since you have brought it up, do you already have an idea?"
Jia Xu stood still, and after stroking his beard, he said in a hurry: "We can report it to the national preceptor and the prime minister, and contact the governors of each state, so that they can call on the people's representatives from each state to come to Luoyang to submit a petition from the people. Let’s persuade them to come in together!”
Wang Meng and Guan Zhong, the two chief civil servants, were the only ones qualified to contact the governors of various states and ask the governors of various ethnic groups to support them in doing these things.
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
Guo Jiaxin said that he was indeed an old fox, and the method he came up with was unique.
Fang Xuanling said: "Yes, that's it. All the people come to the court and urge people to come together. This has never happened in ancient times. Only such a large-scale persuasion can show the sage of our king!"
Han Fei also nodded and said: "Yes, the people came here with sincerity. Your Majesty will definitely obey the destiny and public opinion and successfully ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"
"More than that, it's best to secretly inform the governors of each state. With the petition of all the people and the support of the governors of each state, the lord will surely ascend to the throne smoothly!" Liu Bowen said with confidence.
Li Xiang did not agree this time, except that eating in such a hurry would make it look ugly. Another more critical reason is that the military has not come forward and expressed its position.
Although Li Xiang does not have enough confidence in his generals, there is absolutely no room for carelessness in this kind of thing. Only when all the generals in the military stood up and took a stand could they finally feel relieved.
However, the governors of various states are now far away in various places. In such a short period of time, Liu Bowen has no time to contact them.
In addition, the wars in various places have just ended, and the various governors are busy at this time. It will take some time until the governors of each state come to Beijing one after another and stand up completely to bring this matter to a final conclusion.
What's more, today is just a small wish, and Liu Bowen does not need to bring the military in so quickly.
But after this first time, officials from all over the Jin army will definitely receive this signal, and they should be more serious next time!
