Chapter 1376 I, Xun Yu, oppose the title of king
Chapter 1374: I, Xun Yu, oppose the title of king
Even though Guo Jia seemed relaxed on the surface and looked like he didn't take Fan Zeng seriously, in fact he valued Fan Zeng very much.
After all, Fan Zeng was a wise man who had already become famous during the Zhang Jiao period, and Guo Jia and Fan Zeng were old acquaintances and knew each other well, so it was naturally impossible for them to despise Fan Zeng.
Guo Jia's guess was absolutely correct. As soon as he cut off the black claw that was stretched out, Fan Zeng immediately felt something was wrong. He didn't expect Guo Jia's reaction to be so violent. Naturally, he also realized that the things hidden in the Ming court were deeper than he expected. It's probably bigger.
Things began to move in a direction that Fan Zeng had never thought of, and began to become more weird and mysterious. As a counselor, Fan Zeng instinctively wanted to figure it all out.
Fan Zeng began to continue digging and investigating along the previously interrupted train of thought. However, the previous layout had been cleaned up by Guo Jia at one time. He had no choice but to rearrange the layout. However, in this way, little results were achieved in a short period of time, and the investigation naturally also fell into a stalemate.
The contest between Guo Jia and Fan Zeng was silent and no one noticed. No one knew that such a confrontation between counselors took place under the stable Ming court.
At the same time, as the influence of the "Qin-Yuan Jinyang Treaty" continued to expand, the Luoyang court had major differences regarding Qin Hao's reward.
After killing hundreds of officials and putting the blame on Li Shimin, the surviving officials returned to Luo and returned to the court smoothly. The official positions of these people were all granted by the late emperor, and the Luoyang court established by Qin Hao was orthodox to the Han Dynasty, so Luoyang The imperial court had to recognize the legitimacy of their official positions.
Although Jia Xu eliminated 90% of the old officials who were loyal to the Han Dynasty at one time, there were always a small number of fish that slipped through the net and some other officials who were not in the team returning eastward.
In order to clear himself of the crime of being raped, Li Shimin packed up all the officials who were unwilling to return to Luoyang except Yang Biao's family and sent them back to Qin Hao at once, and sent elite soldiers to **** them all the way.
Although Li Shimin's actions were ineffective and could not completely clear his name, it at least reversed a lot of reputation and muddied the waters of the blaming incident again. Making things even more confusing.
Of course, Jia Xu handled this matter flawlessly, so the mainstream public opinion in the world still believes that it was Li Shimin who intercepted and killed the officials, and all subsequent actions were just whitewashing.
Although the total number of these people sent back by Li Shimin was not large, there were still one or two hundred people. Among them were many loyal officials of the Han Dynasty. This also gave Liu Xie more supporters and a little more power in the court. say.
This time, these Han Dynasty veterans had major differences with Qin Hao's subordinates on the issue of Qin Hao's rewards.
The Qin officials headed by Jia Xu and Han Fei believed that the Duke of Qin had made such great contributions this time, and he could not take all of them without making him the king.
The veterans of the Han Dynasty headed by Fu Wan believed that the ancestral law could not be abolished, and no one with the surname Liu could be king.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, Duke Qin has ascended to the position of Duke, and his title is already equal to that of the king, so why do you have to reward him with a title of king? If you really grant the title of king to Duke Qin, you may still be criticized by the world. People's criticism will damage Duke Qin's reputation," Fu Wan said sincerely.
When Jia Xu below saw this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but when he thought of what happened to Fu Xi before, he couldn't help but suppress the murderous intention in his heart, and decided to find an opportunity to suppress Fu Wan, or find an excuse to transfer him out directly. Luoyang is a wrong place, otherwise if this guy is allowed to seek death, even the Lord will definitely have to kill him in the end.
Jia Xu did not speak, but Han Fei said with a playful expression: "Master Fu, according to what you said, Qin Gong has given birth to such a big prince this time. Didn't the imperial court show any expression at all?" "This..." Fu Completely speechless.
The victory in the Battle of Hetao and the signing of the "Jinyang Treaty" pushed Qin Hao's reputation to the top. If there is no reward, wouldn't it make the meritorious ministers feel chilly? What prestige does the court still have?
But this time Qin Hao has made such great achievements, and Qin Hao is already the Duke of the country, so besides making him a king, what else can be bestowed upon him?
Fu Wan's weak rebuttal made the Qin officials even more excited. They all stated that Qin Hao's contribution was so great that he must be crowned king. Just when the old officials of the Han Dynasty were unable to resist, one person spoke.
“I, Xun Yu, oppose the title of king.”
Xun Yu, as a senior member of the Qin Dynasty, actually opposed Qin Hao's appointment as king. As soon as he said this, all the officials of the Qin Dynasty were shocked and speechless.
You must know that when Qin Hao was still the governor of Nanyang, Xun Yu was Qin Hao's county magistrate, and his status was no lower than that of military advisor and governor.
As a veteran minister of the Qin army, Xun Yu has always been loyal to Qin Hao. He spoke out against his lord's proposal to become king, which was something no one expected.
Xun Yan, who was also from the Xun family, became very anxious when he heard what Xun Yu said. He quickly pulled Xun Yu's clothes and signaled him to come back and stop talking.
But Xun Yu turned a deaf ear, walked to the center of the hall with his head held high, looked at the Qin officials, and scolded: "Do you want to trap my lord in a place of disloyalty and injustice?"
All the officials turned away and did not dare to look at Xun Yu. If the old officials of the Han Dynasty said this, they would definitely refute him, but Xun Yu was their superior, and it was really difficult for them, the lower officials, to refute Xun Yu.
“Brother Wen Ruo’s words are serious.”
The subordinates did not dare to refute, but Liu Ye, who was on the same level as Xun Yu and was also a senator, did not have so many scruples. What's more, Liu Ye was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so his words were fair.
“The Duke of Qin was not only the consort of the Han Dynasty, he also turned the tide when the country was ruined and the family was in ruins, and rescued the Han Dynasty in times of crisis many times.
If it weren’t for Duke Qin, where would the current Luoyang court be? How can you and I work together like this again?
Now that all the kings in the world stand side by side, there are no longer many who can claim the title of king. Duke Qin has made great achievements that shocked the world. How can I, the great Han, cherish the title of a king?
If you have merit but are not rewarded, wouldn't it chill the hearts of loyal ministers? "
No matter what angle you look at, there is nothing wrong with Liu Ye's words. Even some veterans of the Han Dynasty nodded secretly, but Xun Yu still objected.
Xun Yu was not opposed to Qin Hao becoming king, but he was opposed to Qin Hao becoming king at this age. After all, Qin Hao was only in his early twenties. If he became king now, it would most likely arouse his ambitions, and even eventually It would replace the emperor and change the dynasty. This is what Xun Yu least wants to see.
Although Xun Yu was loyal to Qin Hao, he was also loyal to the Han Dynasty. He hoped that Qin Hao would revive the Han Dynasty instead of replacing the Han Dynasty. There were many people who had the same idea as Xun Yu in the Qin army, such as : Yue Fei.
