Chapter 433
On May 15, the third year of Jian'an, the Han Dynasty, Pei Qing suddenly ordered a court meeting. In a short while, the civil and military officials arrived, and even the young emperor was "invited" to the front hall.
At this moment, Wei Wei, Pei Qian's second brother Pei Jun, read the book in public, and saw that the book said: "Emperor Xiaoling had long abandoned his subjects; the Shao Emperor inherited his successors, and the country hoped. Dong Zhuo was a traitor who was a traitor, and King Chenliu said that the king could be appointed as the emperor, but he did not want to revive the Han Dynasty. Instead, he was tyrannical and impermanent, debauchery and negligent, and had a great throne. The three principles and laws of heaven and earth are not inferior? Now there are the children of Shao Emperor, although they are young, their sages are great and virtuous, and their rules are solemn; they cultivate themselves and serve their mothers, and they should not be evil; they should inherit the great cause and rule for all generations. I will abolish the emperor as King Chenliu, respect the people as the emperor, and the emperor's biological mother is the empress dowager, and respond to the heaven and the people to comfort the hope of living beings."
Then Pei Qing found a witness and made all the words and deeds of the little emperor public. For a moment, the people were indignant and the officials were upset. Some of them had heard of these things, and some had not heard of them. But now even the eldest princess is here. They believe that Pei Qing will not arrange the little emperor, and the eldest princess has no reason to frame her own brother.
So Henan Yin Pei Yuanshao ordered people to pull the little emperor off the throne. The little emperor was still shouting: "What are you doing? I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, are you going to rebel?"
But Pei Yuanshao said coldly: "You are no longer the emperor, but you are still King Chenliu. Please pay attention to your words and deeds in the future. If you commit such a taboo again, even Duke Jin will not be able to save you."
Then Pei Yuanshao ordered people to take away the deposed little emperor, the current King Chenliu. Although he had changed to King Chenliu, he could not let him become a country immediately. In fact, Pei Qing was not afraid of people with ulterior motives using him to make trouble, but he was unwilling to let him harm his life anymore. He let him stay in Luoyang honestly, and in the future, a man and half a woman inherit his title, Pei Qing even gave Liu Ning an explanation.
After abolishing the little emperor, the year name naturally changed. After discussing with everyone, Pei Qing decided to change the reign of Xianxi the next year.
At this time, the new young emperor Liu Min was already waiting, but at this time Liu Min was only about eight years old, so there was no way to deal with government affairs. Although Tang Ji was respected as the queen mother and she knew how to advance and retreat. She knew that their mother and son were just puppets now, or just a transition. This was equivalent to the young infant in the late Western Han Dynasty. Sooner or later, her fate would be nothing more than abdication, but Tang Ji didn't care. Her son was originally just a layman with unknown identity, but now he was made the emperor, which was far beyond expectations. In fact, Tang Ji knew very well that as long as her son abdicated after abdication in the future, she felt that she would come to the bottom of the sky and be able to explain to her husband.
Therefore, when Tang Ji was appointed as the emperor when she got her son, she solemnly warned her family that she must not have any unreasonable thoughts, otherwise He Jin and his sister, Dong Cheng and his daughter were all learned from the past.
Tang Bohu had some inconsistencies at the beginning, but later after listening to Tang Ji's words, he suddenly became awake. In today's era, if you want to gain a foothold, it is not to say how close you are to the current day, but how close you are to Pei Qing. Specifically, how to be loyal to Pei Qing?
Tang Ji's father and brothers also had the same idea. They were all named marquis now, but this was not because of the new emperor Liu Min, but before Liu Min was made the emperor, Pei Qing had already arranged it for them. Although it was announced after Liu Min became emperor, they all knew the inside story and understood the strength and weakness. With Tang Ji's warning, the first thing these Tang family members who were named marquis were not to worship the emperor, but to thank Pei Qing.
At the same time, the Tang family, led by Tang Bohu, collectively petitioned the Empress Dowager. Because today's son was the nephew of Liu Ning, who should be named the eldest princess of Shanyang, the identity of the eldest princess was no longer suitable. Therefore, it is recommended that the title of the eldest princess of Shanyang. Duke Jin led his army to pacify the states in the world, which was almost equivalent to creating another great man. Such great achievements should be named the king.
Pei Qing flatly refused such a suggestion. He had no such idea. If he accepted it, those who did not know the truth would think that this was Pei Qing's plan.
However, the Tang clan members were reluctant to give in and launched a petition from all civil and military officials, hoping to persuade Pei Qing to agree.
Everyone sincerely hopes that Pei Qing can accept it. Most of the civil and military officials are Pei Qing's people. Those who have a loyalty of more than 90 are the car-mounted traffic, and those who have a loyalty of more than 200 account for a large part. Even the Tang clan members have several people whose loyalty is more than 90. Even Tang Bohu's loyalty has risen to 200 now, because he finally fully understands the ups and downs and knows that instead of having an illusory dream of a royal relative, it is better to follow Pei Qing.
Pei Qing refused at first, but after seven petitions, Pei Qing could only agree in the end, because he knew that if he did not agree, it would be possible that a large number of people with a loyalty of less than 100 would lose their loyalty to him. Everyone would be very busy. Of course, he would rely on those with a loyalty of 100 or 200 to be his hard-core loyal ministers, but he also needed those with a loyalty of 90 or above, because these people would be potentially hard-core loyal ministers in the future and were the ideal objects for Pei Qing to award the famous general gene.
When Pei Qing finally agreed, everyone couldn't help but cheer. The next day, the edict was sent. Pei Qing was granted the title of King of Jin and allowed him to set up the six ministers. So Pei Qing appointed Hu Zhao as the Shangshu Ling of Jin, Zhang Chao, Xie An, Lu Su, as the Shizhong, Deng Zhi, Wang Can, Ma Ai as the Minister of the Huangmen, and Xun You as the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Later, he appointed Shangshu and other officials, founded the founding of the country, and established his team. Although the positions of these people were much lower than the corresponding official positions of the court, they represented Pei Qing's favor.
When the news of Pei Qing's deposed and appointed the emperor and became king came out, Liu Bei and Sun Ce were both furious. They scolded Pei Qing for not fulfilling the etiquette of ministers. After arbitrarily abolishing the emperor, they respected King Chenliu Xie as Zhengshuo. After three petitions from civil and military generals under their command, they had to agree to their request and proclaim themselves as kings, Liu Bei as King Changsha and Sun Ce as King Wu. The two kings formally formed an alliance under the help of Zhou Yu and Sun Qian, proclaiming that they would lead their troops to attack Pei Qing.
At the same time, Gongsun Kang in Liaodong publicly established himself as the King of Yan, and formed an alliance with the surrounding Wuhuan and the three Han tribes in order to protect themselves. Then Sun Ce took the initiative to lead people to contact Gongsun Kang from the sea, forming an alliance with each other, hoping to fight Pei Qing together.
