After Chen Xu finished reprimanding Li Ru, he said to him: "Although you are wrong, it is estimated that the servant did it first, and he also committed suicide." Therefore, my punishment for you is half a year's imprisonment, are you convinced? ”

Li Ru naturally didn't have any opinions on this painless punishment, he hurriedly said: "The lord is wise, and Confucianism is willing to accept the guilt." ”

Li Ru had no opinion, but the Manchu ministers were full of righteous indignation. They shouted one after another: "Do you want to protect Li Ru?" ”

Chen Xu didn't pay any attention to the anger of the Manchu minister. He glanced at everyone coldly, and said to those armor soldiers: "If there is anyone in the hall who dares to move, just let me out!" ”

The heavily armed soldiers of the state immediately responded.

"You're so daring! Daring! ”

Some people didn't believe that Chen Xu dared to act so unscrupulously, and they pointed at Chen Xu and roared loudly.

For these people, Chen Xu didn't pay attention to them at all, but just glanced at those soldiers who merged with the state. Those soldiers understood, and directly stepped forward to put all the roaring officials out.

"Let go of me! Let me go! ”

The officials who were taken away all shouted loudly, but the soldiers of the state turned a deaf ear to their shouts.

After the soldiers of the state and all these people left, the entire hall fell silent again. Baiguan looked at Chen Xu's eyes, with fear and anger.

Even Emperor Liu Xie was a little pale. He didn't know if the persecution of hundreds of officials would directly turn Chen Xu into people like Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan.

Glancing at everyone, Chen Xu once again put his eyes on Fan Chou and said, "Since General Fan has confessed, I don't know what kind of punishment he wants to accept?" ”

Chen Xu's painless punishment of Li Ru also made Fan Chou overjoyed. But after hearing Chen Xu's words, Fan Chou was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.

He didn't know what Chen Xu meant.

Fan Chou didn't understand what Chen Xu meant, but Jia Xu on the side was watching the fire. He came to Fan Chou, and played with his own ribbon as if no one was around.

Fan Chou thought for a moment, and immediately realized, he hurriedly said: "A certain person committed a heinous crime in the past, and he feels deeply guilty, and he is willing to resign from all official positions and titles, and listen to His Majesty Hou's fate. ”

Although he said that he wanted to listen to Hou Tianzi's fate, his eyes were firmly fixed on Chen Xu.

was hinted at by Jia Xu, and Fan Chou understood what he should do. His current official position is the right general, the marquis of Wannian, and the title is even above Chen Xu.

It is impossible for any prince to tolerate his subordinates holding more official positions than their own. Chen Xu asked just now, just to give Fan Chou a chance to choose.

If Fan Chou can resign from all official positions, then Chen Xu will sincerely accept him. On the contrary, if Fan Chou can't let go of his current title, even if Chen Xu can save his life today, he will not reuse him in the future.

Fan Chou is not a stupid person, he can also afford to put it down. Therefore, after getting Jia Xu's hint, he did not hesitate to resign.

Chen Xu's face showed a bright smile. He saluted Liu Xie and said, "Although General Fan has committed many crimes in the past, he has a meritorious role in saving the driver this time. ”

"According to General Fan's merits, even if he can't undo all his sins, he can still save his life. Now that General Fan has been cut off all his official positions and titles as punishment, I wonder if His Majesty is satisfied? ”

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, he knew that Chen Xu was determined to take Fan Chou for his own use. In this case, what can Liu Xie, who has no real power in his hands?

He swallowed his saliva and said with a forced smile: "Since Aiqing spoke, how could I not allow it?" ”

At this time, not only Emperor Liu Xie, but even the hundred officials in the hall were silent. Chen Xu's attitude has made it clear that he wants to defend Li Ru and Fan Chou.

If it is said that at the beginning, the hundred officials still dared to contradict Chen Xu in public. So now, after they tried it, these people knew that Chen Xu was a wolf, a jackal no less than Dong Zhuo.

These officials have been able to survive until now, and they are naturally good at protecting themselves. At the beginning, they still held that Chen Xu might be loyal to the Han family, so they dared to speak out.

But now, Chen Xu has told everyone with his actions: he, Chen Xu, is not a weak and bullying person who is stupid and loyal to the Han family.

Then, in the face of Chen Xu, who has the backing of the state army, these people naturally dare not provoke Chen Xu anymore.

Looking at the performance of the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, Chen Xu secretly thought in his heart: "I didn't want to tear my face with the hundred officials so quickly, and the embarrassment of the hundred officials was too much." If I am too weak, these people will gain an inch. ”

"Looking at it today, this Manchu Dynasty minister is just a person who bullies the soft and fears the hard."

There are not a few people who have the same mind as Chen Xu. Jia Xu and Li Ru have dealt with a lot of officials, so they have already understood the temperament of these people.

As for Tian Feng, while worried, he was a little disappointed with the performance of the hundred officials.

"Is this the Manchu Dynasty minister who symbolizes the Han Dynasty?"

Tian Feng, who has not been sharpened, is still an idealist. Perhaps, according to his character, even if he has experienced the deeds of hundreds of officials, he will retain the persistence and unyielding in his heart.

In the hall now, the atmosphere is a little awkward. The hundred officials were intimidated by Chen Xu's toughness, and they didn't dare to say anything to stimulate him again. Because they know that if they make it difficult at this time, I am afraid that they will really tear their faces completely.

Now they are silent, and they still have at least the last fig leaf on their bodies. They still have a little fantasy in their hearts, hoping that Chen Xu will not follow the old path of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan.

After all, Chen Xu, who captured Guanzhong, his power is even far greater than that of Dong Zhuo at the beginning. As for Li Dao and Guo Yan, they are not as good as Chen Xu.

Moreover, Chen Xu started from the end of the micro, and he has many generals under his command, which is not comparable to Dong Zhuo and others. If Chen Xu really had a heart of disobedience, the Manchu Dynasty would not even dare to imagine what the Han would become.

Under such a strange atmosphere, a voice suddenly sounded: "General Zhengbei first killed the Xianbei Khan, then broke the Xianbei royal court, and then defeated the Xianbei 100,000 iron horsemen. Such a merit, even if it is compared to the hussar general Huo Quai, it is not too much. ”

Now, the general of Zhengbei is even more tireless, leading the army to cut off Li Dao and Guo Yan, save the Son of Heaven, and find the hundred officials. For such a great achievement, please also ask Your Majesty to reward it, so as not to chill the heroes. ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: "Is it finally here?" ”

Ever since Zhang Xiu took him to the Bingzhou Army, Liu Xie knew that Chen Xu would ask him for an official position sooner or later.

He had this worry when he met Chen Xu for the first time. It's just that Chen Xu didn't ask for an official position at the beginning, which once made Liu Xie have a good impression of Chen Xu.

It's just that Liu Xie didn't expect that Chen Xu would seek official positions on such occasions.

Liu Xie looked around at the hundreds of officials in the hall and found that they were all resentful, but none of them dared to speak out at this time.

Li Ru's words not only shocked the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, but also made Chen Xu feel a little abrupt. He set his eyes on Tian Feng, only to see Tian Feng nodding slightly.

After Li Ru spoke, he set his eyes on Chen Xu. After Chen Xu received Tian Feng's affirmative reply, he also nodded.

Seeing this, the generals of the state said in unison: "Please also ask Your Majesty to reward you!" ”

Liu Xie was persecuted by everyone, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he said to Chen Xu: "I don't know what kind of official position the general wants?" ”

Chen Xu didn't speak, but Li Ru stepped forward, handed a piece of paper to Liu Xie, and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to reward according to the document." ”

Although what happened between this banquet was somewhat unexpected by Chen Xu. However, the strategists in the Bingzhou Group had already formulated the official position that Chen Xu wanted to ask for.

Liu Xie was about to take the paperwork, when suddenly Li Ru retracted his hand and said, "The Eastern Capital has been abandoned for a long time and cannot be repaired; It is also difficult to transfer grain. Chang'an has experienced repeated wars, and the people are not one out of ten, and they cannot accommodate the holy car. ”

"Puban is the main road of Qin and Jin, choking the Pujin Pass, where the Yellow River, Fenshui and Lanshui meet, it is the center of Guanzhong and the former capital of Emperor Shun."

"If you transport money and grain from Bingzhou, you can go directly to this place through Fenshui. In this way, money, food, and goods are enough to spare. The minister dared to ask His Majesty to set the capital here to calm the hearts of the people. ”

Taiwei Yang Biao said: "Pusaka is dilapidated, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accommodate the holy car. ”

Chen Xu said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Taiwei, I have an army of 300,000, and I can build a strong city within ten days." At that time, Kasaka will definitely not insult His Majesty's identity. ”

When Yang Biao heard this, he stopped talking, and the rest of the officials were also silent.

Although Chen Xu politely refused to return the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, he was opposed by hundreds of officials. However, at this time, when Chen Xu said such threatening words, all the officials bowed their heads and were silent, not daring to say more.

At first, they dared to speak out against it, but they didn't test Chen Xu's mind. But now, Chen Xu's toughness is known to everyone, and they naturally don't dare to say anything more.

Although Liu Xie was worried in his heart, he still said quietly: "Everything is according to what Aiqing said!" ”

The Son of Heaven took the document handed over by Li Ru, and according to what was written above, he named Chen Xu as the lieutenant of Si Li, the right general, and the fake Jieyue, and recorded the Shangshu.

Then, Chen Xu asked people to build palaces and palaces, set up temples and shrines, and the yamen of the provincial Taiwan Division, repaired the treasury of the city and Guofu, and requisitioned and transferred state officials and troops began to enter Guanzhong, and issued edicts to appease the princes of the Quartet.

Subsequently, Chen Xu took the position of general. Feng Chen Gong is the Shangshu Order, Jia Xu is the military advisor, Cheng Yu is the Puban Order, Li Ru is the Sima Sacrifice Wine, Changyu is the Sikong Cang Cao Peng, and Sima Lang is the general of the Diannong Zhonglang, urging the money and grain.

Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Lu Bu, Fan Chou, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Zhang Yang, Zhang Xiu, Wang Yan, and Chen Hu were all generals; The rest of the soldiers have their own officials. Since then, the power of the DPRK and China has been attributed to Chen Xu; The important affairs of the imperial court, first to Chen Xu, and then to play the Son of Heaven.
