"Zhongguo?" After this term appeared in Liu Mang's mouth, the faces of the Yangzhou civil and military officials suddenly became very beautiful, and everyone thought about it.

Among them, there are those who are happy, such as when did our Lord Yang Hong come from? It was from Yang Hong's former master, that is, our Lord Shu King Liu Mang Tongshao's father-in-law, Yuan Shu Yuan Gonglu Tongshao's mouth. Yuan Shu always believed that the Yuan surname came from Chen, Chen was the descendant of Shun, who inherited fire with earth and was the second to the fortune. He also thought that the prophecy said: "Those who replace Han should be the best." This is about himself, so after Yuan Shu obtained the jade seal, he often had the ambition to be the emperor.

In the winter of 195 AD (the second year of Xingping), the rebel generals Li Jue and Guo Si pursued Emperor Xian of Han and all the officials in Caoyangjian area of ​​Hongnong County. They protected Emperor Xian and Yang Feng, who was in charge of Emperor Xian, were defeated by the rebels. Emperor Xian fled to the north of the Yellow River alone. Yuan Shu thought that the time had come, so he convened his subordinates to a meeting and said, "Now the Liu family has declined and the country is in full swing. The four generations of our Yuan family are important officials in the court, and the people are willing to submit to me. I want to uphold the will of heaven and follow the will of the people, and ascend to the throne and become emperor now. I wonder what you are thinking?" Everyone heard this, who

Don't dare to say anything else, only the chief clerk Yan Xiang said: "The Zhou people from the ancestor Hou Ji to King Wen, accumulated virtue and merit, and had two of them in the world, but they were still cautiously ministers of the Shang Dynasty. Although you have high officials and generous salaries for many generations, you may not be as prosperous as the Ji family. At present, although the Han Dynasty is weak, it seems that it cannot be compared with the cruel and unruly King Zhou of Shang 18 Tan Sangbi Shu heard Yan Xiang's words and said nothing, but he was right and wrong in his heart.

Not long after that, Zhang Feng, a native of Hanoi, divined him and said that he had the will of becoming an emperor. He used this as a reason. In 197 AD (the second year of Jian'an), he proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, established the Zhong family, established the ministers, and set up the sacred ministers, and sacred the north and south suburbs.

Since then, Zhongguo has appeared on this land of China.

But unfortunately, our Yuan Shutong Shoes are not lucky, and they can even be said to be very unlucky.

When he was emperor at that time, one of the first things was that although the prestige of the Han Dynasty was repeatedly hit, his reputation had not yet been reduced to an underestimated level, and everyone still followed the Han Dynasty. Even if there was a ghost in his heart, he still obeyed the Han Dynasty on the surface.

Secondly, there are too many enemies around our Yuan Shutong Shoes, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law Lu Bu are all there.

After Yuan Shu became emperor, he appointed the prefect of Jiujiang as the governor of Huainan. He appointed the ministers and ministers everywhere. He also built an altar for the emperor to worship the Emperor in the south and north of the city. In life, he was extravagant and debauchery and was squandered. There were hundreds of wives and concubines in the harem, all wearing beautiful clothes and exquisite food. However, the soldiers in his army were in a state of hunger and cold. Under his rule, the people in the Jianghuai area lived in a miserable state, and people were cut off from the crowd in many places, and even people were eating people during famine. At the same time, Yuan Shu's behavior of becoming the princes in the world despised him, and Yuan Shu became the enemy of everyone.

Soon, he was rebelled and attacked by Sun Ce, Lu Bu and Cao Cao. First, Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu in Jiangdong and relied on his own, expelled Yuan Yin, the prefect of Danyang appointed by Yuan Shu, and jointly led Yuan Shu's Guangling Prefect Wu Jing and General Sun Ben to abandon Yuan Shu and surrendered to Sun Ce after receiving Sun Ce's letter (both of them were Sun Ce's relatives), causing Yuan Shu to lose large areas of land such as Guangling and Jiangdong, and his power was defeated; secondly, Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shu and plundered in Huaibei; thirdly, when Yuan Shu invaded Chen County, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu and Yuan Shu fled to Huainan again.

Later, Yuan Shu encountered a severe drought and famine in the winter of 197 AD, and his strength was severely damaged. The tragedy of people being eaten up everywhere between the Jianghuai River. At that time, Pei's prime minister Shu Shao advised Yuan Shu to disperse grain to save hungry people. Yuan Shu was furious and was about to behead him. Zhong Ying: "I know I will die, so I will do it. I would rather die alone and save the people from suffering." Yuan Shu was moved, so he got off the horse and pulled him and said, "Zhong Ying, I want to enjoy the world's reputation, so I don't share the evil with me?", and then followed Zhong Ying's words. However, at this time, Yuan Shu's decline could no longer be reversed. Later, the incident of Chen Lan and Lei Bo rebelling and plundering food and grass to the mountain.

In 199 AD, Yuan Shu, who was desperate, gave the emperor to Yuan Shao and wanted to join Yuan Tan, who was the governor of Qingzhou at the time of Yuan Shao's eldest son. As a result, he was intercepted by Liu Bei, who was sent by Cao Cao, and Zhu Lingjun, who was blocked by the way. Yuan Shu couldn't pass. He retreated to Shouchun and wanted to go to the mountain to join his former troops Lei Bo, but Chen Lan refused for Lei Bo and others. He kept it for three days. The soldiers had no food, so he retreated to Jiangting. At that time, there were only 30 hu of wheat chops in the army. It was in June, and Yuan Shu wanted to get honey to quench his thirst, but there was no honey. After sighing for a long time, he said, "Is Yuan Shu so much?" In the end, he vomited blood and died.

But now it's different.

The reputation of the Han Dynasty is now completely over. No one knows that the little emperor Liu Xie over there has been completely reduced to Cao Cao's puppet, and it can be said that he has no power to kill.

Cao Cao even killed Concubine Dong, who was pregnant with the little emperor. One of the consequences of this was that the prestige of the Han Dynasty had fallen to the bottom.

Anyone who is enemies with Cao Cao will not recognize the status of this little emperor.

Even in Xudu, everyone was looking at Cao Cao over there, rather than the little emperor Liu Xie. It was better to say that it was Wei than the Han Dynasty.

There is also the enemy. Although Cao Cao has now become the overlord of the north, occupying Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Zhili, and has several states.

But our Shu King Liu Mang is not bad at all. Yangzhou, Jiangdong, Xuzhou, Jiaozhou, Yuzhou, and a small part of Jingzhou are considered the overlords of the Central Plains.

The other Liu Bei children's shoes are still working hard in Jingzhou to plan other people's territory. Sun Ce has already surrendered Liu Mang. As for Lord Lu Bu, he is just a good match with Liu Mang!

Under such a good situation, if you become emperor, there is really nothing to say.

So Yang Hong and others' eyes lit up. If Liu Mang became emperor and his country was named Zhongguo, he would inherit Yuan Shu's will. Other generals from Yangzhou also looked at Liu Mang with flickering eyes.

Once Liu Mang became emperor, they would all follow the Dragon Minister. Such contributions would inevitably make them more prosperous. Isn’t it necessary to have as many official titles as possible?

Each of the eyes is glowing.

"Lord is wise!" Yang Hong and others knelt down and spoke to Liu Mang over there.

"I'm wise?" Liu Mang was also stunned. What's he wise again?

Some people are happy and some people frowned. For example, our Lord Tian Feng frowned, and he seemed to disagree with Liu Mang's intention to be emperor. Of course, our Lord Tian Feng is not loyal to the Han Dynasty. It can even be said that the prestige of the Han Dynasty has declined repeatedly and is also the credit of our Lord Tian Feng.

He encouraged Liu Yu to become emperor, and then even asked Yuan Shao to welcome the Emperor of Han. He was preparing to do the same thing as Cao Cao, and was preparing to use the emperor to command the princes. Who took the little emperor Liu Xie seriously? They followed the principle of whoever had the big fist and who would be the king. It’s a pity that Yuan Shao was disobedient.

"Lord, this is absolutely impossible?" Tian Feng spoke to Liu Mang over there.

"Yeah?" Liu Mang became confused. Why should he not be able to do so?

"Mr. Tian Feng, my lord inherits the will of the old lord. Is there any peace? My Zhong Kingdom will reappear in heaven and earth. This is the will of heaven. Yuan's surname comes from Chen. Chen was the descendant of Shun, who inherited fire with earth. After the fortune was met, my lord, as the son-in-law of the Yuan family, should also inherit the will of the Yuan family. After Yao and Shun, he would be called Emperor Zhong Kingdom's peace!" Yang Hong generally said that he was a good old man, and he smiled with everyone, but this time, our Mr. Yang Hong did not give in.

"According to the emperor? Inheriting Yuan Shu's will?" Liu Mang became more and more confused. What were these two people talking about.

Tian Feng shook his head, "Mr. Yang Hong said this. Although the Yuan family was the three ministers of the four generations, there is no way to find out whether it was Yao and Shun. What if it could be considered the Zhong Kingdom? Besides, although the world is big, it has not reached the point of changing dynasties. The national industry of the Han Dynasty is still passed down. Why do you need another country? If the Yuan family really did this, I am afraid that the world would have become Zhong Kingdom long ago!"

"According to what Lord Tian Feng said, my lord should obey what Emperor Liu Xie said, "reduce the title and wait for death. You and I are both Han thieves. Are you sitting and waiting for death?" Yang Hong also faced with Tian Feng over there.

"Sit and wait for death? How is it possible? My words are not to let my master sit and wait for death. The Han Emperor Liu Xie did not distinguish between right and wrong, and was unclear about his right and wrong. He used my loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty as a traitor. This is because he had eyes but no beads. He was in Xudu, but in fact he was a puppet of Cao Cao. This was to lose face of the Han Dynasty. He was originally the King of Chenliu, but later because Dong Zhuo was in chaos, he took the position of Emperor. It was not just the legacy of the late emperor. We and the Emperor of Han, who need to follow this Han Dynasty? Since the Emperor of Han has no virtue, then those with virtue will be there. My Lord is originally a relative of the Han Dynasty, and the King of Shu, and the Emperor of Han has no virtue. Then he should abdicate and give way to the wise. My Lord is here. My minister Tian Feng has seen His Majesty the Emperor of Han! Long live my emperor." Tian Feng knelt down and shouted at Liu Mang over there.

It turned out that Tian Feng did not object to Liu Mang's proclaiming emperor, but asked Liu Mang to be the Emperor of Han directly, but did not inherit the will of Zhongguo, because no matter how he said that Zhongguo was also a small court that was defeated and had the identity of a rebel.

Yang Hong looked at Tian Feng over there and showed a look of guilt on his face. It was because he was not considerate and was only considerate of the will of the first lord, but he didn't know that Zhongguo had been branded as the rebels.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Han, long live my emperor!" Yang Hong also knelt down and expressed his apology to Tian Feng's words over there.

"We pay homage to Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and others also knelt down and spoke to Liu Mang.

"This, this, this?" Liu Mang was completely stunned now.

What is this situation? Who told you that I was going to be emperor? Liu Mang was speechless. He mentioned the meaning of Zhongguo, just to tell everyone that this rank and other things are harmless. Because of Liu Mang, Yangzhou can transform from the former deserted area to the current prosperity and prosperity.

So the people here think of not Emperor Han, but King Liu Mang of Shu. They even regarded themselves as people from Yangzhou, rather than people from the Han Dynasty in Xudu.

Most people know that there is a Shu King Liu Mang but don’t know that there is a Han Emperor Liu Xie.

But Liu Mang did not explain clearly. As soon as he proposed Zhongguo, the civil and military officials in Yangzhou there were misunderstood.

Zhongguo? Isn’t that the title of Yuan Shutongsha’s self-reliance? Your lord tells us that Zhongguo is telling us that you are ready to become independent? If Liu Mang didn’t have this condition, maybe the group of Yangzhou civil and military officials over there would not be such concerns, but Yangzhou has both the right time, place and people.

First, Liu Mang's identity was a relative of the Han Dynasty, which could be a condition for becoming emperor.

Secondly, Liu Mang is now the overlord of the Central Plains, with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and Yangzhou is developing vigorously. Shouchun Industrial Zone, all new armor and weapons are on the battlefield, and there is also the cannon that serves as a shock.

Third, that is what these Yangzhou officials think. Liu Mang is just a Shu king, and he can only open a palace. If he becomes an emperor, his official position will be very different. These titles will all come out.

Suddenly, the civil and military officials in Yangzhou "understand" the meaning of the lord.

"No, no, how can I be called emperor?" Liu Mang explained there, being the emperor? Just kidding? If he became the emperor, could Liu Mang still go out for fun? A set of rules would make him a headache. Although Liu Mang is the lord of Yangzhou now, he also knows that all his foundation is obtained from his cheap father-in-law Lu Bu. If his cheap father-in-law is unhappy, he will do this?

Now that Liu Mang is the King of Shu, Lu Bu doesn't care. If Liu Mang becomes the Emperor of Han, Lu Bu can still care.

The Tian family is ruthless, and this emperor's position is how many people will appear after death.

So Liu Mang refused there.

But the more Liu Mang refused, the more others were proud of Liu Mang as the emperor, because in everyone's opinion, this was a kind of modesty.

If you accept the position of the emperor directly, it means you have ambitions. If you refuse again and again, it means you have no choice but to sit on the throne of the emperor for the sake of the people of the world.

To be simple, it is shame.

"I really don't want to be this emperor!" Liu Mang was about to cry.

"Your Majesty, if you are unwilling to inherit the throne for the sake of the people of the world, you must hang yourself here!" Tian Feng made a secret move.

"If Your Majesty refuses, I will hang myself here!" They all fell to their knees one by one.

"This, this, this!" Liu Mang was stunned. He was trying to kill him! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
