As soon as Li Ru said it, the whole hall was shocked.

If Chen Xu is a child of the royal family, even if he is crowned king, it is not a big problem, but the point is that Chen Xu is not surnamed Liu, how can he be crowned king?

Throughout the history of the Han Dynasty, there are only a handful of kings with different surnames.

After Qin unified the world, he abolished the feudal system and established counties. It was not until the world was in turmoil that the nobles of the Six Kingdoms rebelled everywhere in the name of the peasant rebel army, and the feudal system was restored one after another.

When Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, eliminated Xiang Yu and unified the world, he was forced by the situation to divide many kings with different surnames. Rao is like this, compared with Zhou Shi, these kings with different surnames are also greatly reduced.

At that time, there were seven most important kings with different surnames, namely Han Xin, King of Chu, Peng Yue, King of Liang, Yingbu Wang, King Yingbu of Huainan, Zhang Er, King of Zhao, Zang Tu, King of Yan (Lu Xuan, King of Later Yan), Wu Rui, King of Changsha, and Wang Xin of Han.

Among the seven kings, Zhang Er died of illness, and his son Zhang Ao ascended the throne, and was later demoted to the Marquis of Xuanping for his crimes; Yan Wang Zang Tu rebelled and was pacified by Liu Bang's personal soldiers; Lu Xuan, the king of Houyan, was also forced to rebel, and finally died of old age in the Xiongnu.

Han Xin, the king of Chu, was demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin, and then executed by Empress Lu; Peng Yue, the king of Liang, was also first demoted, and then executed by Empress Lu.

Empress Lu first killed Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and then killed Peng Yue, the king of Liang, and chopped Peng Yue into meat sauce, boiled the meat sauce into porridge and packed it in a food box, and gave it to the princes respectively.

When Yingbu, the king of Huainan, saw that the kings were killed one after another, and received porridge cooked with Peng Yue's meat sauce, he was extremely frightened, and he was forced to rebel, and then died.

Liu Bang has two Han Xin, one is Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and the other is Han Wangxin.

Han Wangxin was defending against the Xiongnu in the north at that time, and was suspicious of the imperial court, and Han Wang was afraid of his confidence, so he surrendered to the Xiongnu, and was later killed by the Han army.

Among the seven kings, only Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, died well, and his feudal kingdom also died after five generations.

In addition, only Empress Lu divided several Lu clansmen into kings with different surnames, namely Lu Tai, King Lu of Liang, Lu Lu, King of Zhao, and Lu Tong, King of Yan.

Zhang Yan, the king of Lu, was named the king of Lu because his mother was the daughter of Empress Lu and he was the grandson of Zhang Er, the king of Zhao.

In addition, there are no other kings with different surnames in the Han Dynasty.

Since ancient times, the existence of kings with different surnames has been an outlier. They are either careerists in troubled times, or they are the founding heroes.

When a regime lasts for a long time, and suddenly there is a king with a different surname, it means that the emperor is in a weak position. Once a king with a different surname is crowned, it means that a dynasty will turn from prosperity to decay, or even be about to perish.

At least in the Eastern Han Dynasty until now, no one has been named a king with a different surname. Even Dong Zhuo, who was in power at the beginning, never moved the mind of becoming a king.

Zhang Lu said that the reason why the king was a great rebellion was because it was a very sensitive issue.

Therefore, when Li Ru asked the Son of Heaven to give Chen Xu the title of king, the courtiers in the entire hall all fell silent and held their breath.

Everyone forcibly suppressed the shock in their hearts, and they all focused on Chen Xu, they wanted to see if the matter of sealing the king was Chen Xu's own intention.

This is true not only of the ministers of the DPRK, but also of Guan Chinese Wu.

Wen Zhao frowned slightly, and secretly thought: "What's wrong with Wen You today, why did you bring up the matter of sealing the king?" ”

According to Chen Xu's thoughts, it is too early to be crowned king, even if Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and almost unified the north in history, he still only dared to be crowned a duke, but did not dare to be the king.

Now the number of princes in the world is far greater than that period, how dare Chen Xu risk the disapproval of the world at this time and claim to be the king in vain?

Feeling everyone's gaze, Chen Xu coughed lightly twice, and said to the soldier at the door: "Wenyou's madness is getting more and more serious, you dare to say such a big rebellion, you better take it down now." ”

Then Wen Zhao took two steps forward, bowed to the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, Wen You's madness is getting worse and worse, and he is talking nonsense, please don't blame him, Your Majesty." ”

When the soldiers heard Chen Xu's shout, they hurriedly entered the main hall and carried Li Ru out, but Li Ru still shouted: "I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy, the general has a high merit in the world, he deserves to be crowned king, he deserves to be crowned king!" ”

The Son of Heaven sent Li Ru out, and after listening to Chen Xu's words, his face looked better.

At least one thing can be certain, that is, the king was proposed by Li Ru himself, and Chen Xu didn't know at all. Otherwise, Chen Xu would not have this kind of expression and this kind of reaction.

While the Manchu Dynasty was angry with Li Ru, he also put down his hanging heart.

If Chen Xu really wants to risk the disapproval of the world to become the king, with his power in the court, even if the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are strongly opposed, I am afraid it will be useless.

If Chen Xu becomes king, the rest of the princes will inevitably follow suit, and the Han will really be saved.

However, some of the civil and military forces under Chen Xu showed disappointment in the eyes of many people. They are all loyal to Chen Xu, and naturally hope that Chen Xu's status can be improved.

In this way, their status will also rise with the tide.

But many people are also very sober, knowing that it is not yet time to be called the king, so they don't say anything.

Feeling that the tense atmosphere in the court had eased a little, Wen Zhao bowed to the Son of Heaven and said: "The minister is loyal to the Han Dynasty, although he has meager merits, but he never dares to be arrogant. ”

"Now that the princes disobey the king's orders, they support the army and cut the land to stand on their own, and the ministers are doing their best every day, lest they can't help the Han family, how dare they have other thoughts?"

Chen Xu's attitude was very sincere, and when the Son of Heaven and the officials heard this, their faces became more and more beautiful.

Yang Biao stepped forward and said: "The general is loyal and patriotic, how can Your Majesty not know?" And we all know that the general works hard for the government every day, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest. ”

"Now that His Majesty has reached adulthood, the Great General himself is completely able to relax. In time, after His Majesty becomes a generation of Ming monarchs and revitalizes the Han family, the general will not be able to go down in history. ”

Compared with Kong Rong's sharpness, Yang Biao spoke more tactfully and more sophisticated.

Chen Xu's face stiffened slightly when he heard this, and he thought with some annoyance in his heart: "Yang Biao, can't you see the situation clearly, do you have to tear your face?" ”

Thinking of this, although he still had a smile on his face, the eyes that looked at Yang Biao were slightly murderous.

The road of the powerful minister is also like walking against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and even more cruelly, if you don't advance, you will die.

If you want Chen Xu to hand over power to the Son of Heaven, this matter is absolutely impossible, and it is also an absolutely untouchable bottom line, whoever touches it will die.

Although he felt the murderous aura slightly revealed on Wen Zhao's body, Yang Biao still stared at Chen Xu calmly, with a calm and fearless look.

At this moment, another voice resounded in the hall: "Although the general is humble and unwilling to take credit, if the meritorious person is not rewarded, won't it make the soldiers of the three armies feel cold?" ”

"I foolishly thought that even if I couldn't be crowned king, I didn't think it was too much."
