Chapter 161 The big man is in chaos or not, Li Chen has the final say
The effect of this title of one king and a group of kings is different. If you only sign Cao Cao as King of Wei, then it is not impossible. Because if you only sign Cao Cao as King of Wei, then Cao Cao will become the target of public criticism. The other princes will think, if Cao Cao has been granted the title of King, what should we do?
The situation at that time will inevitably be that other princes in the world will unite their troops and fight against one another. Let’s first solve Cao Cao, the King of Wei.
However, if there are countless great princes in the world who are granted kings, then this will be different. This is to make the Han Dynasty full of kings. Not to mention many, if two generations continue, then the people of the world will only know that there are King Wei, King Wu, King Qin, and King Shu. Then no one will remember the Emperor of Han at that time.
Moreover, once the king's imperial edict is continued, they will not accept it. Once the imperial edict arrives, it is a difficult problem for these princes to accept it. If they accept it themselves and then the rest of the people do not accept it, then they will become the target of public criticism. But if others accept it all and they do not accept it, then wouldn't they be inferior to others in vain?
So, Jia Xu's plan is really an unparalleled poisonous plan. 10% of this plan can be said to be the last straw that overwhelmed the camel in the Han Dynasty.
Liu Xie didn't want to be named this king from the bottom of his heart, but Li Chen had already explained that if he was named this king, he would still be the emperor, but if he didn't, he would go to the underworld tonight.
"Your Majesty, this king cannot be granted. I am not afraid of death." Fu Shou looked at Liu Xie, bit his lip, and shook his head.
Liu Xiexin said, you are not afraid of death, but I am afraid.
This is because people have to bow their heads under the roof. Although Liu Xie is the emperor, he now wants no soldiers and no generals, so he can only be threatened by Li Chen. At this moment, Liu Xie has already regretted it. Alas, he has planned something Luoyang well.
Seeing Liu Xie hesitating, Li Chen winked at Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin noticed Li Chen's expression and nodded immediately.
Then, Cheng Yaojin held two big axes and strode forward. Cheng Yaojin had just chopped and killed many people outside, and the pair of big axes were still stained with blood.
Cheng Yaojin is very good at it. He cares if Fu Shou is a queen. In the eyes of Cheng Yaojin, the lawless devil, the identity of the queen is simply inferior to that of a fart.
"I tell you, man speaks, where can you women speak? If you are talking nonsense, I will chop your upper body into meat paste."
"If you ask me why I only chop my upper body and not my lower body, then I will tell you. It's useless to ask for my upper body, so I only chop my upper body. I will leave this lower body, and I may even be able to keep it while it's hot." Cheng Yaojin slapped Fu Shou's white and tender face with the blood-stained axe, and said fiercely.
"Xu Chu, you are a bastard. I am the queen, so how can you not be rude?" Fu Shou shouted angrily.
"Inside the house, what's the house? I'm outside while it's hot, in front of all the soldiers." Cheng Yaojin said in a muffled voice.
"General Xu Chu, don't be angry, don't be angry."
"I recognize this imperial edict, and I recognize it." Liu Xie said hurriedly.
As soon as Liu Xie finished speaking, he stood up shakingly and took out a jade seal from the wooden box beside the bed.
Li Chen stared at Liu Xie's jade seal. Compared with his own, the jade seal was almost exactly the same. The only difference is that Liu Xie's jade seal is made of jade, and his own missing one corner is filled with gold.
As we all know, when Wang Mang usurped the throne, the jade seal was broken by the empress dowager at that time. Therefore, it can be seen that his own jade seal was real. Liu Xie's jade seal was fake at first glance. However, although the jade seal was fake, the emperor was real. Although the real emperor used a fake jade seal, the imperial edict was recognized by the world.
Liu Xie brought the jade seal and looked at the imperial edict swept to the ground by Fu Shou. He was stunned for a while and found that no one helped him pick it up. In desperation, he had to bend down to pick it up by himself.
Liu Xie put all the imperial edicts on the jade seal with the eight big words "Accepted by heaven, and will live forever."
Liu Xie felt very distressed, but Liu Xie didn't say it. Not long after, Liu Xie pressed all the imperial edicts on the table on the jade seal.
"Young Master Cao Pi, are you satisfied?" Liu Xie looked at Li Chen, with a slight sense of powerlessness in his tone.
Li Chen nodded and signaled Pei Yuanqing to put away the imperial edict. Then he said to Liu Xie: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye."
After saying that, Li Chen and his men walked out of the tent with great strides.
As soon as the group walked out of the tent, they heard Fu Shou's crying and Liu Xie's roaring from the tent.
"Cao Cao, the traitor, Cao Pi, the traitor, the Cao family, the traitor."
At the same time, outside Hulao Pass, in the Cao army camp.
In the central army tent, Cao Cao woke up from his dream with a sweat on his head. He sat on the bed with a blank look on his face. He felt indescribable in his heart, and it felt like something was on his back.
After leaving Liu Xie's tent, Li Chen returned to his military tent and found the imperial edict that appointed Cao Cao as King of Wei from a bunch of imperial edicts, and then threw the imperial edict into the fire.
The imperial edicts were made of silk, with red sandalwood on both sides. When thrown into the fire, the silk edict would instantly turn into ashes.
Li Chen put the imperial edict to confer Cao Cao as King of Wei first and was the first to let Liu Xie see it. The purpose was to confirm his identity as Cao Pi. After all, it was nothing wrong with Cao Pi making Liu Xie the first to confer his father.
But this imperial edict is definitely not allowed. If this imperial edict is given to Cao Cao, then wouldn't it be revealed?
The imperial edict of the conferred Cao Cao was not sent, but the imperial edict of the other people was sent. Later, Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xiehui, fell into Cao Cao's hands. Even if there was no imperial edict of the king, Cao Cao could have Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, wrote one for him.
For Liu Xie, the matter of becoming a king, is just like giving the little girl a chastity. It’s gone for the first time, and it doesn’t matter how many times he has been there.
"Send some soldiers to pretend to be guards around His Majesty and send all these imperial edicts out."
"Remember, you must say that it was King Wei Cao of the King of Wei who invited the title for the kings." Li Chen reminded Cheng Yaojin.
"I understand, Your Highness, King Qin." Cheng Yaojin agreed.
"Get out, don't bother me here." Li Chen cursed with a smile.
Cheng Yaojin took the tray filled with the imperial edict from Pei Yuanqing, walked out of the camp happily, and began to instruct his subordinates to go to various places to announce the imperial edicts. These imperial edicts can be said to have broken the last fig leaf of the Han Dynasty.
