Chapter 2 Sima of the Other Ministry

Liu Yu entered the hall and according to his memory, he saluted Liu Bogen above the main position.

"Former Qujun Marquis Liu Yu, pay homage to Duke Xi!"

Liu Bogen immediately smiled happily and called Liu Yu's words affectionately.

"Brother Ji Xing, don't be polite, sit down quickly."

Liu Yu responded and saw more than a dozen people sitting in the left and right rows, only one was shorter and there was an empty seat, so he sat down openly.

"Everyone, after more than a month since the launch of military forces in Xi County, fortunately, the generals have been responsible for their lives. More than 20 cities have been conquered. Now, Xi Gong follows the destiny of heaven, with the might of the army, and the people's hearts are in surrender. It is comparable to the high emperor entering Guanzhong in the past."

The first person to speak was a man in his thirties with wide face and short beards. He sat next to Liu Bogen and the first person on the left.

Liu Yu knew that he was Liu Bogen's second brother Liu Hong, whose courtesy name was Zhongdu, and he joined Liu Bogen's army. He and the chief Wang Mi were both Liu Bogen's right-hand man. His friendship made Liu Hong's status obviously higher than Wang Mi, and he was the second-ranked figure in the Donglai Army.

Liu Hong's face was gloomy and soon continued with a solemn look on his face.

"Yesterday, the general's account was to worship Huang Tian, ​​and he prepared the ceremony of a young prison. He received a brocade letter from the sheep and pigs."

As soon as Liu Hong said this, everyone in the hall exclaimed.

When Liu Yu heard this, he said that this was a nude plagiarism, completely imitating Chen Sheng in the late Qin Dynasty that year, stuffing silk books into the fish's belly. Then he pretended to be ghosts and gods or destiny.

"Uncle Second, what is written on the brocade?"

A descendant of Liu Bogen asked.

Everyone in the hall also looked at Liu Hong with bright eyes.

"After the order to Huang Tian, ​​you will live forever."

After hearing the words on the brocade book that Liu Hong said, Liu Yu almost burst out laughing. He was so talented.

The later generations of the imperial seals said, "After being ordered by heaven, one will live forever." For those of the Western Jin Dynasty, only those who read and read and have knowledge know the sentence written on the imperial seal. After all, the imperial seal is a symbol of important dynasty imperial power.

As for the rebels from remote areas such as Donglai County, most people don’t know what the imperial seal is. Many soldiers from the bottom are still imagining that “the emperor probably uses a golden pole to carry manure.”

Soon, Liu Hong ordered his soldiers to take out two yellow brocade books.

After circulating it in his hand, he was solemnly caught in a copper box.

"Donald Xi, now that I have this auspicious thing, I should tell the three armies and tell them to all directions, so that everyone in Qi will know that Duke Xi is a righteous act, a resignation of the people, and a great act of great power protected by the ancestor of the Heavenly Master." Liu Hong said immediately.

"Ming Gong, now the Sima kings are traitors, their flesh and blood are destroyed, and they are also causing the barbarians to harm the people. Instead, they accused us of being thieves. Ming Gong should follow the will of heaven and inform the people to safeguard the people, and recruit more virtuous wise men who were neglected by the Sima family. This is to promote the world and save the people."

A Confucian scholar with wide clothes and wide sleeves said.

Liu Yu knew that this man was named Sun Li, who was Liu Bogen's chief clerk, in charge of documents and planning, and of course, more importantly, he was Liu Bogen's brother-in-law.

At this time, Wang Mi, a powerful figure in the Donglai Army who had not spoken, spoke.

"Now, Ming Gong only took more than a month to occupy half of Qingzhou, which shows that it is the will of the people. Those of us who first followed Ming Gong all knew that Ming Gong wanted to save the suffering people, so we all followed each other and would not be obsessed with the status and power. But now more and more ordinary people follow Ming Gong, and what they are trying to do is fame and fortune. If we don't get what they want, if one day the Sima family uses fame and fortune to lure them, it is difficult to ensure that they will not be capricious."

After hearing this, Liu Bogen looked worried and asked.

"What the Chief Secretary said is reasonable, so I would like to ask how to do it?"

When Liu Yu saw everyone's expressions, this was wrong. This was not a temporary idea at all. It must have been planned by the big guys in advance. Today, it was just a group of people to perform a play in front of everyone.

Sure enough, Wang Mi answered quickly.

"I dared to make suggestions, and the affairs of the government made public and proclaimed the king, and selected good generals and capable officials."

After Wang Mi finished speaking, everyone in the hall was excited to agree.

Liu Bogen's face turned red with joy, but he quickly refused.

In this way, everyone invited me three times, and Liu Bogen performed for a long time.

This is the "three requests and three remarks" that are of the times and conform to etiquette.

In the end, Liu Bogen "forced" to accept the request of everyone to open a mansion, but did not become king. He continued to be called "Mr. Xi", but his subordinates became "orphans".

Soon, Liu Bogen's brother-in-law took out the proclamation that had been drafted long ago, and after reading the gorgeous parallel prose.

Liu Bogen took office as "Duke Xi", "General of the East", "General of the Military Affairs of Qingzhou", and "Governor of Qingzhou".

Then Liu Bogen announced a notice of a new order, and everyone who comes to serve will be an official.

Finally, he was awarded the generals, the chief secretary Wang Mi, who also served as the deputy governor of Qingzhou. He served as the army officer Liu Hong, and the prefect of Donglai County. The chief clerk Sun Li, and the prefect of Dongmu.

Others such as Gongcao History, Military Control, Camp, Assassination, Tutor, Gongcao Shujiao, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior General, Junior General, Junior General, were appointed.

Liu Yu was also sent by Sima from another department, who was commanding a unit directly under Liu Bogen.

After Liu Yu received the seal that Liu Bogen had prepared long ago, his face was a little confused, not knowing which country and dynasty Liu Bogen, the "General of the East", was from which dynasty.

Of course, no matter which country it is, Liu Yu knew that his name of the Donglai rebels could not be washed away. As soon as Liu Bogen issued a notice, these famous subordinates were known to everyone in the world.

After the conferment was completed, Liu Yu and most of them temporarily retreated.

Liu Bogen only left Liu Hong and Sun Li, two close confidants, to talk in the inner court.

After some discussion, Sun Li mentioned the scene he observed in the hall today.

"Liu Yu today seems to be different from the past."

"Yes, I think he is not like before today, and he didn't say a few words from beginning to end. He didn't look very happy to appoint Sima, who was the only one." Liu Hong also expressed his own opinions.

"After all, Liu Yu has just experienced life and death, and it is inevitable that the young people's personality will rise and fall." Liu Bogen disagreed.

"Brother, I'm afraid that he will be scared to death for life and death. That's a pity that a tiger general is a talented person." Liu Hong said.

"Hmph, it's just a brave man. Now our entire army has expanded from 10,000 to 30,000, and the armored soldiers have 6,000. It will not affect him if he is a reckless man." Sun Li was a little disdainful of Liu Yu.

Speaking of the expansion of the army, Liu Hong thought of another question.

"Nearly half of the newly encamped people are for Wang Mi. Among them, Cao Yi, Xu Miao, and Gao Liang are all powerful families. If we don't find a way to win over it, it will inevitably make Wang Mi bigger in the future. If a guest bullies the master, it will be troublesome."

"I'm also thinking about this issue." Liu Bogen had the same concern about what his younger brother Liu Hong said.

Wang Mi himself is brave and famous. He was famous in the imperial capital Luoyang. He became famous in Qingzhou and became famous in young people. When he was young, he could gather the rangers to block the road and rob and seek excitement. Therefore, many restless powerful rangers came to serve, but in fact they came to Wang Mi. In this way, the coach Liu Bogen seemed less important.

“This is not difficult.”

Liu Bogen's brother-in-law Sun Li seems to be confident.

"Cao Yi, Xu Miao and Gao Liang have just surrendered. You can treat each other with respect to the wise and nobles first. When you attack the city wall, you can give them more credit and slowly make their status on an equal footing with Wang Mi. In this way, Cao Xu and others will be grateful for our favor, and secondly, they and Wang Mi will definitely have a rift."
