Chapter 645: Denunciating Chen Xu
After the Son of Heaven and the crown, the eyes of the whole world converged on Kasaka.
It was also during this period in history that the Son of Heaven completely broke with Cao Cao and became a real puppet.
Everyone wanted to see whether Chen Wenzhao was as loyal to the Han family as he said, or whether he had a disobedient heart, intending to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
The wind in the pass was surging, and martial law began to be imposed in the entire Pusaka City, and from time to time there were heavily armed armor soldiers shuttling through the road.
To everyone's surprise, a few days after the Son of Heaven and the crown, no major events happened in Pubancheng, and the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials did not mention the pro-government matter to Chen Xu.
However, Chen Xu looked at the pieces of information sent by Li Ru, but his face was extremely gloomy.
Li Ru was in charge of various hidden forces in Guanzhong, and naturally attached great importance to the highly respected ministers in the court.
According to the reports of the secret agents, the ministers of the DPRK and China were very active during this time, and many ministers were in tandem with each other and discussed in the palace for a long time, but they did not know the specific content of their discussions.
Rao is like this, and Chen Xu is also very easy to understand the purpose of their series.
After a few more days, Guanzhong was still calm and very strange, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just the calm before the storm.
In the middle of February of the sixth year of Jian'an, it was time for the Great Dynasty Meeting again, and Chen Xu and hundreds of officials went to the palace to discuss major matters with the Son of Heaven.
After everyone discussed some military affairs, a person suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, there were famines in the world during the Zhongping period, and it is understandable to promulgate a ban on alcohol. ”
However, now that the wind and rain are in Guanzhong, the general still did not repeal the prohibition of alcohol, but used the prohibition to loot the people's money. I foolishly thought that this matter was detrimental to the national body and extremely inappropriate, and asked His Majesty to lift the prohibition of alcohol. ”
When Chen Xu, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Tian Feng, Chen Qun and others heard this, they couldn't help but put their eyes on the person who spoke. This person is the great Confucian of the world, the nineteenth grandson of the sage Confucius, and his reputation is famous in the sea.
Kong Rong used to serve as the minister of the North Sea in Qingzhou, but later because Cao Cao attacked Qingzhou, Kong Rong was defeated and fled, and hid in Shandong.
In order to increase the influence of the imperial court, Chen Xu ordered to conquer the great Confucians of the world in various places, including Kong Rong. After Kong Rong got the document of the Son of Heaven, he came to Guanzhong without the slightest hesitation.
Kong Rong was first named a master craftsman by the Son of Heaven, and then promoted to Shaofu.
Whenever the court visits and summons the right person, Kong Rong often cites the decision, implying that the ministers and doctors are only in name, and the government is all controlled by Chen Xu, and the wolf's ambition is clearly revealed.
Although Chen Xu was quite dissatisfied with Kong Rong, because of his reputation, it was not easy to make it difficult for Kong Rong.
Moreover, there are not a few ministers in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China who have opinions on Chen Xu, if he has to deal with everyone, I am afraid that there will not be many ministers left in the DPRK and China.
Hearing Kong Rong's words, Chen Xu and the others were all in their hearts, knowing that the main drama was coming.
Kong Rong's superficial words seemed to accuse Chen Xu of forcibly promulgating a ban on alcohol and looting people's fat and ointment; In fact, this is a challenge for Kong Rong's prestige for Chen Xu.
Tian Feng, as one of the few strategists under Chen Xu, naturally would not be indifferent at this time.
He tidied up his clothes and stepped forward to bow slightly to Kong Rong to show his respect for Kong Rong, a contemporary Confucian.
"Shaofu's words are wrong, although the harvest has been slightly better in these years, but the army has been fighting year after year, but it will consume a lot of grain. If we do not take precautions and procure a ban on alcohol to save grain and grass, famine will surely arise again when the harvest is not good. ”
"The general had a heart for the people, a brilliant and long-term vision, and even if he was misunderstood by some people with shallow knowledge, he insisted on prohibiting alcohol. Such fearless feelings are really rare in the world. ”
Kong Rong heard Tian Feng's words with a gun and a stick, and his face immediately became very ugly.
Don't look at Tian Feng as an upright and rigid person, but he is very sharp when he speaks. When he praised Chen Xu and refuted Kong Rong, he also mocked Kong Rong for his short-sightedness and shallow knowledge.
Even if Tian Feng respected the sage Confucius and respected Kong Rong's fame, he did not hesitate to express his position in the cruel court battle.
Kong Rong is a great Confucian in the world, how could he be so easily stumped by Tian Feng?
He calmed down his mind, he snorted coldly, and said with a slight mockery: "The general has been fighting for many years, and he has been fighting with all his might, but he still has not been able to sweep away the princes of the world, but has wasted national strength. ”
"The general is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses for His Majesty, and he cannot pacify the princes and pacify the Quartet; It could not make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and even deprived the people of the right to drink. ”
"This kind of behavior loses the hope of the saints and the people of Li, how can such a vegetarian corpse be in charge of the great weapons of the country?"
"Your Majesty is now crowned, and his intelligence is abnormal, why don't the generals hand over the power in their hands, so as to respond to the hearts of the people in the world, and let Your Majesty revive the prestige of the Han family?"
Kong Rong's words made the faces of everyone in the hall change greatly, even the emperor in a high position.
Although the Son of Heaven has the heart to be in charge of military and political power, he never thought that he would denounce Chen Xu so sharply.
Although Chen Xu is a powerful minister, Chen Xu has contributed to the fact that the Han family has been able to maintain it to this day.
When Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, if it weren't for Chen Xu leading the army to fight, the princes of the world would definitely follow suit, and the Han family would have existed in name only at that time.
Although it is still the princes who rise together, everyone still respects the Han family in name, and no one dares to defy the disapproval of the world and claim to be the emperor in vain.
With the experience of Yuan Shu and Zhang Lu, he had to make the princes feel frightened. All of this is inseparable from Chen Xu, a powerful minister.
As Cao Cao said in history: If there is no loneliness in the world, I don't know how many people are kings and how many people are emperors.
This sentence is placed on Chen Xu, but it is also appropriate.
Therefore, even if the rest of the ministers heard Kong Rong's words, they felt that he was exaggerating.
In their hearts, there was also a little fear, afraid that Kong Rong's words would provoke Chen Xu to be angry, but it would not be beneficial to the Son of Heaven.
For a hero like Chen Xu, who rose in troubled times and killed from the sea of corpses and blood, it is not a wise thing to anger him.
"Haha, haha!"
Just when everyone was shocked and speechless, Chen Xu laughed out loud, but his eyes looked a little terrifying.
In fact, for the ministers of the DPRK and the Son of Heaven, Chen Xu is still very kind to them. Even if Kong Rong came to Pusaka and repeatedly made disrespectful remarks, Chen Xu just laughed it off.
But today, listening to Kong Rong's somewhat unreasonable words, Chen Xu was really angry in his heart.
The Son of Heaven was furious, ambushed millions of corpses, and bled and drifted.
Although Chen Xu is not the Son of Heaven, he is the most powerful prince in the world, what will happen if he is angry?
