Yuan Shu's usurpation of the throne was illegal, but Guo Peng's acquisition of these was justified.

In addition to not having the title of emperor, in his fiefdom, he is equal to the emperor.

It feels really sour.

The two couldn't help but pick up the lemon.

No one had done it before, and they hadn't thought about it, but now they suddenly saw that someone was going to taste the sweetness, and they couldn't help but blush.

"He can make such a great contribution, comparable to the merit of saving the driver, without rewarding, does this Han court still have prestige?"

Jia Xu pretended to sigh helplessly, quietly paying attention to Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji's expressions.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to remember something.

"Saving the driver?"

Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji looked at each other.

They suddenly realized that they had also made a contribution to the rescue.

When Jia Xu saw this, he was overjoyed, but immediately stopped them.

"Guo Zifeng can, we can't, some things just think about it, don't really do it."

As soon as Jia Xu said it, the two suddenly realized that what they were thinking was seen through by Jia Xu, and showed a wry smile.

"After all, we have also made a contribution to defending the Han family."

"Isn't it our credit to rescue Your Majesty from Li Guo and protect the Han family?"

Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji forcibly argued.

"But Guo Zifeng holds the land of the Central Plains of Hebei, with 200,000 armor, and with such power and merit to build a state, it will only make people feel justified, and of course, no other princes dare to oppose him, but we are different, we don't have such a strong force to deter the Liu clan in the south."

Jia Xu said solemnly, and then said as if joking: "Unless everyone doesn't care about anything, and builds a feudal state together, so that the world changes greatly, and everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, then there is really nothing to say." ”

Jia Xu's words seemed to be joking, but they fell into the ears of Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji, but they had a different meaning.

However, the two of them also agreed with Jia Xu's opinion, and when Guo Peng really killed Yuan Shu and brought his head to Hongnong for a reward, at that time, they would give him the agreed title.

But in private, Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan each had their own ideas.

When no one does that, of course, no one will have bad thoughts, but once someone tastes the sweetness, the situation is different.

Yuan Shu usurped and became the emperor, Guo Peng relied on this merit to become the monarch of a country, and he saw the emperor in his hands, but he couldn't get such an honor.

You can become the monarch of a country!

Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan stayed in their respective mansions, and their thoughts turned a thousand times.

They think about it a lot, and when they go to bed at night, they think over and over again, but they just can't sleep.

How do you get rid of this feeling? What can be done to soothe this mood?

The two thought in unison.

The next day, Duan Xuan asked someone to go to the library of the Hongnong County Imperial Palace to find the relevant records of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for him to see.

At about the same time, Zhang Ji sent someone to find a scholar who had studied the past history to tell him about a series of historical changes after the Zhou royal family divided the kingdoms.

Jia Xu was secretly happy when he learned about it, and then secretly told Yan Rou the news.

"So, Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan are tempted?"

"That's natural, smart people will control their desires, and stupid people's desires have no upper limit, in the past they just didn't know, they felt that they were already a great minister, there was nothing to want, and naturally they didn't dare to usurp the throne and become emperor, so they didn't pursue anything.

But now things have suddenly changed, the general wants to be a feudal state to establish a state, following the old practice of the Zhou royal family, and become the monarch of a country, Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji will naturally be moved, because although they can't be emperors, but the feudal state and the establishment of a state as a monarch is not a transgression.

Isn't it the best choice to satisfy their desires without usurping the throne and becoming a traitor to be crusaded by the crowd of the world? They just didn't know before, but now that they do, I guess in the short term, they must make a move. ”

Yan Rou looked Jia Xu up and down.

"The general has a good eye for people, and he didn't misunderstand you, Wen Hegong, if this matter is successful, you will be the first meritorious, and I will be your subordinate, and you will definitely be rewarded by the general."

Jia Xu smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Where is the reward for those who play tricks on power? I just ask the general to keep me safe and my descendants rich, and Jia doesn't dare to ask for anything else. ”

"Isn't it the greatest credit to bring chaos to the world, to make the world fall apart from now on, to make everyone forced to accept such a reality, and to hasten the collapse of the world? What the general needs is a chaotic world, not a complete world, if you accomplish this, Wen Hegong, you must be the first merit. ”

Yan Rou said with a smile: "Don't worry, the general will do everything he promised you, and whatever you want, you can also mention it to the general, although your merits cannot be made public, but the general will remember it in his heart, and he will definitely not treat the heroes badly." ”

"Thank you, General."

Jia Xu bowed.

Jia Xu knows that from today on, he Jia Wenhe will become a big thief who messes up the world, a sinner who single-handedly controls the disintegration of the Han family.

This is not Jia Wenhe's original wish, but what Jia Wenhe has to do, will anyone think so and believe it?

I'm afraid there won't be anyone, because there will be very few people who know about it.

Guo Peng will definitely not make this kind of thing public, what he has done will be buried, and no one will know, as long as he operates well enough, he will be able to spend his life in peace.

In fact, Jia Wenhe didn't have a choice.

So Jia Wenhe had to do it.

With his help, Duan Xuan quickly found the relevant "literature", and Zhang Ji also found scholars who understood this area.

"I see."

Duan Xuan took the bamboo slips and read them one by one, word by word, to see how the monarchs of the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period lived, how they managed the government, and how they did these things with a Zhou Tianzi on their heads, and became the de facto emperor.

"In this way, the monarchs of the vassal states are actually equivalent to the emperors in their own countries, and they don't have to do anything to Zhou Tianzi except for paying tribute?"

Zhang Ji asked the scholar this, and the scholar gave him a clear answer.

"Zong Zhou moved eastward, and then Zheng Guojun defeated Zhou Tianzi's army, Zhou Tianzi's prestige was lost, and the vassal states were naturally not so obedient, Zhou Tianzi had no real power, and the vassal states did their own thing, and the monarchs of each country were actually the emperors of all countries."

Scholars give such a clear answer.

So a person who didn't read much and a person who basically didn't read had a general understanding of that period of history, and had a level of political ecology that Jia Xu hoped they would understand.

Then, the day after Guo Peng's convoy of prisoners sent the heads of the betrayers of the Yuan family led by Yuan Shu to Hongnong along with a series of loot, Zhang Ji found Jia Xu.
