Chapter 428: Reconsidering the title of king

"My beloved concubine, come here~"

In the Nangong and Hehuan Hall, one could hear the sound of playing from a distance. Although he had come out of the cold palace in the past two years, the affairs of the court were basically handed over to the Prime Minister's Palace. Now he might not go to court once a month. Liu

Neng, the emperor, seems to have nothing else to do except playing with his concubines in the palace every day.

Xiao Huangmen walked quickly outside the palace, knelt at the door of the palace, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is waiting for the summons outside the palace gate!"

"Prime Minister?" Liu Neng trembled, looked back at the small yellow door outside the palace, frowned and said: "It's such a time, Prime Minister, what's the matter that we can't talk about tomorrow?"

"I don't know~" Xiao Huangmen shook his head.

Liu Neng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Please come quickly and go to Xuanshi Hall!"

Although it may not be a good thing for Chen Mo to come to see him, Liu Neng can't help but see him.

He didn't want to experience the cold palace anymore.

"Here~" Xiao Huangmen agreed, got up and left.

Liu Neng turned around and looked at the concubines around him. When he thought about meeting Chen Mo alone, he suddenly lost all interest. Ever since he came out of the cold palace, he would always feel an inexplicable sense of fear when he saw Chen Mo again. He didn't know where this fear came from.

Why? In short, I just want to avoid each other. It would be best not to see him.

Soon, Chen Mo came to the back of the Xuanshi Palace and asked Dian Wei to wait outside the palace, while he led Ji Ping into the palace with his personal guards.

"Your Majesty, sir!" Chen Mo first bowed respectfully to Liu Neng.

"Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite." Liu Neng quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to support him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Mo stood up slowly.

"Prime Minister, why is Doctor Ji doing this?" Liu Neng looked at Ji Ping beside Chen Mo, frowned and asked, where is this song coming from today?

"Return to Your Majesty!" Chen Mo said in a deep voice: "Today Ji Ping came to my house to offer medicine, but he was in Xiadu in the medicine, intending to murder me, but I found out on the spot."

"Bold!" Liu Neng slapped the table, glared at Ji Ping and said, "How dare you, the rebellious minister, plot to kill the prime minister?"

Ji Ping didn't say anything. He knew that it was useless to say anything now. If the emperor were on his side, he would definitely not be able to defeat Chen Mo, and his crime would be determined.

"Prime Minister." After scolding, Liu Neng looked at Chen Mo again and said doubtfully: "The Prime Minister has the final say in this matter, so why come to the palace late at night?"

"I asked him who was the envoy, but he said it was His Majesty, so I had to come." Chen Mo looked at Liu Neng and said seriously.

"Absurd!" Liu Neng's expression changed, he glared at Ji Ping and said, "Why are the traitors trying to sow discord between my king and his ministers!?"

Then he looked at Chen Mo. Liu Neng took a deep breath and bowed to Chen Mo: "Prime Minister, this matter has nothing to do with me. These days, I have never met with the courtiers. Ji Ping has not been in the palace for a long time."

, I have no chance to issue such an order, so I ask the Prime Minister to be careful and not to be instigated by traitors!"

"Of course I believe that your majesty will not harm me." Chen Mo bowed and said: "But your majesty, since I assisted your majesty in proclaiming the emperor, I have been working diligently for my great Han Dynasty. Countless soldiers have fought bloody battles in the south and north. It is not for me.

It is for Your Majesty and the great Han Dynasty, but for some reason, ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has always had small intentions to sow discord between the monarch and his ministers, or even more extreme, to murder the ministers. During the decisive battle with Cao Cao, someone had an affair with Cao Cao.

, Luoyang almost fell, Your Majesty was imprisoned, and I almost had my return route cut off and died in the battle in the Central Plains. Now that the world has finally been peaceful for a few years, someone is trying to murder me with such insidious means. Your Majesty, the country has not been fully restored.

, someone is already thinking about the life of the hero, which is really chilling!"

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true!" Liu Neng laughed sarcastically, not knowing how to answer.

"Your Majesty, all the officials of the court are asking for an audience outside the palace gate." Xiao Huangmen hurriedly ran in and bowed.

"All the officials are here?" Liu Neng was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. The presence of the courtiers could at least ease the atmosphere. Otherwise, being pressed down by Chen Mo so aggressively would have made him feel like he couldn't breathe.

It feels, feels like, Chen Mo is more like an emperor than himself.

"Prime Minister, do you want all the officials to come to the palace?" Liu Neng did not respond immediately, but looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Of course." Chen Mo nodded.

"Xuan Baiguan has entered the palace." Liu Neng then looked at Xiao Huangmen and said.

"Here!" Xiao Huangmen exited the palace, and the shrill voice of Xiao Huangmen could be heard coming from outside the palace: "Xuan Baiguan has entered the palace~"

Soon, Yang Biao, Sima Fang, and Zhong Yao led Jiu Qing and other officials in. They all saluted Liu Neng: "See your Majesty."

"This is not a court, and you don't need to be polite." Liu Neng waved his hand, then looked at Ji Ping who was kneeling on the ground, told what happened just now, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know who is behind this.

Envoy, Ji Ping is just an imperial doctor, so he cannot suddenly want to assassinate the Prime Minister. Dear Sirs, the Prime Minister is very hardworking and meritorious to our dynasty. The reason why the world can have the peace it is today is because of the Prime Minister's sword.

Yes, I don’t know who instructed this matter, but it’s really over. Don’t say that the Prime Minister is not ready to give up on this matter. Even if the Prime Minister is generous, I will investigate to the end and cannot let the Prime Minister feel cold. What do you think?”

Before the war between Chen Mo and Cao Cao, I am afraid that many people would jump out to refute it at this moment, but now, no more, after repeated failures, veterans in the court are constantly being eliminated, Chen Mo's power is constantly strengthening, plus Liu Neng once

After this inaction, the only remaining ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty no longer dared to openly oppose Chen Mo.

Besides, this matter itself is Chen Mo's fault. Many people don't understand, who will assassinate Chen Mo at this time?

"Your Majesty!" Sima Yi stood up and saluted Liu Neng: "I thought that the person behind this must be investigated, but this matter is really chilling. Even if the person behind the scenes is found out this time, what about next time?

I think that just finding out the person behind the scenes is not enough to appease the Prime Minister!"

"Who are you?" Liu Neng frowned. As the Prime Minister, Sima Yi was not eligible to sit in the court during the morning dynasty except when he returned to the dynasty and was granted the title. The last time they met was more than two years ago. Liu Neng had already

I forgot who this person was and just stared at Sima Yi. Could it be possible to ask him to abdicate the throne to Chen Mo?

"Your Majesty, Sima Yi, Tian is the Prime Minister." Sima Yi said with a smile.

"It turns out he is a subordinate of the Prime Minister." Liu Neng was a little discouraged. He couldn't afford to offend the people in the Prime Minister's residence. He nodded and said, "I wonder how Sima Qing thinks he should be comforted?"

"Back to Your Majesty." Sima Yi bowed and said: "The reason why people continue to attack and annihilate the Prime Minister is because some people are jealous of the Prime Minister's position and achievements. Now the Prime Minister not only has to guard against Sun Quan in Jiangdong and Liu Bei in Jingzhou, but also deals with national affairs and people's livelihood.

I have no time to pay attention to these villains, and let these people think that the Prime Minister is easy to bully. I think that for the current plan, your Majesty can only move the capital and leave the Prime Minister alone in Luoyang, so that he can concentrate on frightening the princes!"

"Move the capital?" Liu Neng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't know what others thought, but as far as he was concerned, moving the capital might not be a bad thing for him. At least he didn't have to live so cautiously under Chen Mo's suppression, or even leave.

Chen Mo's gaze might be able to do something else.

"Yes, move the capital!" Sima Yi nodded and said, "Only in this way can the Prime Minister devote all his efforts to coordinating the overall situation and dedicate himself to your majesty and to the resurgence of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Neng nodded. If he could take this opportunity to break away from Chen Mo's control, it might not be a bad thing. He looked at the ministers and said, "I wonder what you all, dear friends, think?"

This time, no one objected among the officials, including Sima Fang, Yang Biao and other loyal officials of the Han Dynasty.

"Since none of you have objections, I will follow your plan and move the capital to another day." Liu Neng stood up and prepared to leave the court.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet." Sima Yi said loudly.

"What else can I say?" Liu Neng frowned.

"If Your Majesty leaves, although the Prime Minister is in charge of the internal affairs of the states and counties, he is not above the military power. His Majesty's move of the capital will definitely be to Chang'an. However, if there is an emergency military situation in the Central Plains, the Prime Minister will have to report to the court.

Asking for instructions to mobilize troops, this has been coming and going in recent months. Your Majesty should know that troops need to be mobilized quickly. If this is the case, I am afraid it will delay the battle." Sima Yi said with a smile.

Now you need to ask me for instructions when fighting? How can you feel this inexplicable honor? Liu Neng smiled, and his smile was a bit sarcastic. He knew that Chen Mo couldn't just ask him to move out of Luoyang this time. What follows next, I'm afraid,

was the key point, but Liu Neng didn't want to hear this point, let alone accept it, so he didn't answer, and just looked at Sima Yi quietly.

Liu Neng did not speak, but Sima Yi had nothing to be embarrassed about and continued directly: "I think that the position of prime minister is not enough to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the world. Therefore, I should make the prime minister king. Jingzhou has the King of Chu, and the land of Shu has the King of Shu.

, there is even a false emperor in Jiangdong, and the prime minister can only uphold justice and not be suppressed by the three princes only by conferring the title of king."

Become king?

Liu Neng frowned. Chen Mo had mentioned this matter when he returned to the court, but was dismissed. This time... Liu Neng looked at the courtiers. Sima Fang had no hope for him. This was Sima Yi's father. Now

Liu Neng didn't expect Sima Fang to say a fair word when his son came out to undermine him.

But Yang Biao and Zhong Yao disappointed Liu Neng. This time, they did not stand up. Not only them, but Jiu Qing behind them also remained silent.

It turns out that in the past two years, the court has been cleaned again by Chen Mo?

Liu Neng suddenly felt a little out of breath. He knew very well what it meant to be crowned king. If Chen Mo was crowned king, even if he, the emperor, was out of Chen Mo's control and moved his capital to Chang'an, nothing in Luoyang would have to go through again.

He, the emperor, approved that although the imperial court was still there, it was basically in name only. The real imperial court was still in Luoyang, but it had just been renamed the Royal Palace.

"What do you think, dear friends?" Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Neng became a little desperate and looked at the courtiers.

"I believe that this matter is too big to be rushed and needs to be discussed carefully." In the end, it was Sima Fang, the person least favored by Liu Neng, who stood up and bowed.

"What do you think, Prime Minister?" Liu Neng looked at Chen Mo.

"It's really not urgent." Chen Mo nodded, then pointed at Ji Ping and said: "I came here today just to seek justice, so let's investigate the matter first."

"Okay, I will leave this matter to the Tingwei to investigate. It is necessary to find out the matter and give justice to the Prime Minister." Liu Neng seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, take your orders!" Man Chong stood up and bowed.

Liu Neng waved his hands feebly and said, "I'm tired. If there's nothing else important, you can go back on your own."

"Best farewell to Your Majesty!" Chen Mo bowed down.

"Best farewell to Your Majesty!" All the ministers followed and bowed.

His Majesty?

Haha~
