Chapter 1455: Two discussions on the title of king
There were not many natural disasters during the past two years, otherwise the princes would not have been able to usher in great peace.
But just two years later, disasters of varying degrees occurred all over the world. It was as if God was helping Qin Hao.
Among the twenty counties under Qin Hao's command, three counties were affected by the disaster. The extent of the disaster was not small, but Qin Hao had a strong foundation.
Although Qin Hao was uncomfortable with a natural disaster of this magnitude, it was just a minor cold, not even a serious illness. He could be completely cured by spending a small amount of money, but this was not necessarily the case for other princes.
In the past two years, although the princes in various places have experienced varying degrees of development, after all, war is their mainstream, and nearly half of the resources they have obtained have been invested in war. If there is another natural disaster at this time, for those who have frequent wars, For the princes, it was undoubtedly a punch and heavy blow.
This natural disaster is mainly concentrated in the Kanto and Hebei regions. The disasters in Kansai and Jiangnan are not severe and have basically no major impact.
Qin Hao is about to use troops against Hebei, but at this time, natural disasters suddenly occur to weaken the foundation of the princes in Hebei. Even God is helping Qin Hao!
"This natural disaster broke out and was concentrated in the three counties of Hedong, Wuyuan and Zhangling. Hundreds of thousands of people were affected. If we are not careful, the natural disaster will turn into a man-made disaster, so we must not be careless at all."
Qin Hao looked solemn and ordered in a deep voice: "In response to this disaster, the imperial court will set up a special disaster relief team. Where are Qiao Yu, Kan Ze, and Yi Ji?"
“The official is here.” The three of them stood up and shouted.
“The three of you will serve as imperial envoys, specifically responsible for disaster relief for the three counties. Qiao Yu will be responsible for Hedong County, Kan Ze will be responsible for Wuyuan County, and Yi Ji will be responsible for Zhangling County. All disaster relief funds will be distributed from the national treasury;”
“The lower official takes orders.”
Seeing that Qin Hao had handled the disaster relief matters neatly and neatly, Liu Xie couldn't help but have a look of admiration in his eyes.
The DPRK and China have been arguing about various disaster relief matters for several days. Even Liu Xie personally participated, but still no specific solution was reached. However, Qin Hao immediately solved the problem completely as soon as he came to the DPRK. , its efficiency is so high and so fast that Liu Xie is ashamed.
Due to his age, Liu Xie had not yet officially taken power, but Qin Hao also allowed him to participate in government affairs. Originally, he was ambitious and wanted to do something big, but only after he came into contact with government affairs did he realize how difficult it was. .
Let alone this natural disaster, it was just some simple ordinary government affairs, which also contained many details. He might not be able to handle them well after thinking about them for a long time. This also made Liu Xie feel that he had failed Qin Hao's expectations.
It was only after Qin Hao returned to the court from Jinyang that he truly understood how wise Jia Xu was when he intercepted and killed hundreds of officials. Without those loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty who claimed to be loyal and loyal, there would naturally not be so many fights for power in the court. , and Liu Xie has not had any fear of Qin Hao so far.
With the monarch and his ministers harmonious and the court at peace, Qin Hao will naturally be more able to control the emperor and command the princes, and he will definitely be more legitimate than Cao Cao.
Of course, such peace also has a time limit. Liu Xie is not fighting for power with Qin Hao now because Liu Xie is not yet an adult. When he becomes an adult, he will have an excuse to take power. For the sake of power, he will definitely fight for power with Qin Hao. There will certainly not be such harmony between the monarch and his ministers at that time;
Of course, it will definitely be a different situation by then. After all, Liu Xie is only 13 years old now, and he will have to wait another 3 years to reach adulthood.
Three years later, if the war goes well, Qin Hao will definitely have captured the land of Hebei. At that time, Liu Xie would basically have no role for Qin Hao. His only role was to establish a new dynasty for Qin Hao.
After the disaster relief, the government affairs reported by the courtiers were not big problems. Not to mention Qin Hao, even the 13-year-old Liu Xie could solve them, so he naturally followed the good deeds.
Two hours after the court meeting started, Liu Ye stood up and said: "Your Majesty, during the past two years, His Highness Qin Gong improved the spinning machine and found corn. This new high-yielding grain, now I am a big man." His Majesty the Duke of Qin is indispensable for the increase in national strength and superior military equipment."
As soon as Liu Ye said this, Liu Bei, Kong Rong, and Ma Rixi among the courtiers immediately widened their eyes, and they all had a bad premonition in their hearts. "Now that the seven kings of the world stand side by side, even Zhu Tianpeng and Yang Guang can be called kings. Why can't Duke Qin be called king because he has made immortal contributions to the Han Dynasty?"
At this point, Liu Ye bowed and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Duke of Qin, has made enough contributions to be crowned king. Please make clear the rewards and punishments and make Duke Qin king."
“Your Majesty, please grant Duke Qin the title of king.”
More than 80% of the ministers shouted in unison.
Liu Xie thought deeply when he saw this, and then said: "With Qin Gong's merits, it is indeed more than enough to be crowned king."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's face instantly became extremely ugly, while Kong Rong quickly stood up and objected, saying: "Absolutely not. Granting a king with a different surname violates the ancestral system. Do you want to trap Duke Qin for being unfaithful and unjust?" ?”
With Kong Rong taking the lead, Ma Rixi and other Han officials all stood up to oppose, while Liu Bei just watched quietly from the side, neither agreeing nor opposing.
Seeing the opposition from Kong Rong and others, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a moment. He wanted to make Qin Hao the king. After all, it was more than enough to make Qin Hao the king based on his merits.
In addition, there are already seven kings in the world, and there are as many as four kings with different surnames. The ancestral system has long been broken, and it is natural for Liu Xie to grant his brother-in-law Qin Hao a royal title. .
“The words of Master Kong are wrong.”
Jia Xu stood up and retorted: "If you don't reward meritorious services and don't punish mistakes, if this goes on for a long time, the country will not be a country."
“Yes, your majesty, please grant Qin Gong a title…”
Before Liu Ye finished speaking, Kong Rong pointed at Liu Ye angrily and cursed: "Liu Ziyang, you are not a son of a human being. Why did you, a rebellious minister and traitor, come out of the Liu family?"
"you…"
A trace of anger flashed across Liu Ye's face, but after opening his mouth, he didn't say anything more and could only retreat with a cold snort.
Seeing Liu Ye retreating, Kong Rong's attitude became even more presumptuous, and Ma Rixi also said: "Your Majesty, no one with the surname Liu can be crowned king. This is the ancestral system established by Emperor Gaozu, and it cannot be broken unless the country is destroyed.
Duke Qin’s merits are in Sheji. Although his merits can lead to him being crowned king, he himself does not necessarily want to be crowned king. In addition, if he starts this way, there will be countless kings in the world in the future.
Therefore, according to the opinion of the old minister, it is better to increase the number of food towns in order to promote his achievements. It is better to forget about being crowned king. "
Ma Rixi was the last official left in the Han Dynasty, except for Wang Yun, Huangfu Song and others.
The first guaranteed update is here. Today the monthly votes have exceeded 300, and the recommended votes have also exceeded 1,000, so there will be three guaranteed updates, and I have to stay up late again!
