Chapter 274: Justice

Li Qin didn't like the title of Grand Tutor. According to his original intention, he wanted to change to someone else. For example, the Prime Minister, he liked this official title very much. He was called Prime Minister by others, which was very Zhuge Liang, but he had never thought about being the king. It was Jia Xu who wanted to be the king of him, and it was Jia Xu who suggested that the little eunuch!

In fact, Jia Xu also asked for a lot of money, waiting for the Tenth Constellation Secret to return the money. Jia Xu read more books and knew more rules. Of course, he knew that those who were not from the Liu surname were not allowed to be crowned with kings, so he naturally thought that the Tenth Constellation Secret also understood, and everyone around the little emperor also understood. Since everyone understood, there was no such thing as being crowned with kings. If you cannot be crowned with kings, you cannot offend Li Qin, so you naturally have to compensate in other places. As for how to compensate, it is what the Tenth Constellation Secret and the ministers around the little emperor thought. In short, it would not be a loss to Li Qin. This is certain!

But neither Li Qin nor Jia Xu expected that eunuchs were different from ministers in their work. They were not ruled, and the rules were followed by others. They only needed to supervise others and must abide by the rules, but they themselves would not. Didn’t Li Qin want to be crowned with the king? That’s all, what’s the big deal? It doesn’t matter if it’s not spending their money!

When the imperial edict and gold seal of the king were sent, Li Qin and the generals were having a meeting to study the location of the Yellow Turban Army. If a war starts, what tactics should be used. Listen to the imperial edict in the city, Li Qin naturally had to bring the generals to welcome the imperial edict. But when the little eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, the tent was quiet and silent, and no one could react!

The little eunuch said with a flattering face: "King Xia, you, please accept the order!"

Li Qin whispered, stretched out his hands, took the imperial edict, and said, "Mr. Zhongguan, you are not wrong, King Xia, I have been conferred the king by the emperor? Isn't there a rule that non-Liu can't be conferred the king? What's going on?" As he said that, he stood up.

Jia Xu, who was behind him, also stood up, and Jia Xu asked, "Who wrote this imperial edict? Does the little emperor know about this?"

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Reply to Lord Jia's words, it is the emperor's meaning, which was written by Zhang Da's father himself and the seal used by the emperor!"

Li Qin took the imperial edict, looked at it several times from beginning to end, and handed it to Jia Xu, asking Jia Xu to continue reading. Li Qin asked, "Why did you have to be named the king? Do you need to follow the rules left by Emperor Gaozu? This is really strange!" He even doubted whether this was a trap, Zhang Rang wanted to set a trap for himself!

The little eunuch quickly said, "When Zhang Dafu was drafting the edict, the young man was serving him. I heard from Zhang Dafu that Emperor Gaozu had said that the ministers should not make the ministers no longer the Liu surname king, but that was what the ministers said, and had nothing to do with the eunuchs. Now isn't Zhang Dafu drafting the edict for the emperor? The emperor didn't say that it was not possible, that was OK, so he wrote this imperial edict!"

Jia Xu raised his head and looked at the little eunuch with a flattering smile on his face. He suddenly smiled and said, "I just said that, asking for a title for my Li Lang. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhongguan took it seriously. When the edict was written, he didn't discuss it with other ministers, but who said he would stop him?"

Since the imperial edict was written and the king was granted, it proved that the sky-high price was successful. However, whoever in the city disagrees with Li Qin's title of kingship had to abide by the rules of Emperor Gaozu, the list still needs to be known. Whoever opposes it is the root of disaster, and keeping it is the disaster. Before the Fujiao Army goes to war, it will naturally eradicate the people on the list!

The little eunuch blinked his eyes and shook his head, "I didn't hear anyone objecting, and the emperor didn't object. Zhang Dafu gave him a lot of candy. As long as there is candy, the emperor will make a decision very quickly!"

Li Qin was stunned, and Jia Xu was also stunned. The generals in the entire tent opened their mouths together. No, giving the little emperor some candy can make him a king. This is too easy!

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Come on, go and buy more candy and send it to the little emperor. Well, let the sugar maker live in the palace. When will the emperor want to eat it? Now make it for him to eat it, and eat it hot!"

Li Qin yelled, eating candy and hot food, which I had never heard of before. He turned to Jia Xu and asked, "This time I think I have to go to the city and go to the palace to thank me. By the way, I have to refuse? You can't have the emperor appointed me as the King of Xia, so I just accepted the order. It's too unfair. I have to refuse three times no matter what. If I can't push it, I'll be like that?"

Jia Xu had not answered yet, but the generals in the tent said together: "Li Lang, it seems that there is no need. The little emperor has good intentions, so you can take his favor!"

But the little eunuch hurriedly said, "No, no, Zhang Dafu has thought about these things for the prince. If you are busy with your work, you won't go in the city. Look, the edicts behind are ready!"

As he spoke, the little eunuch took out two more imperial edicts from his arms and said, "The rule of three pushing and three giving ups must be followed, so Zhang Dafu wrote three copies of the imperial edict. If you push it once, you will give it another copy. After three copies, you can't refuse anymore. Zhang Dafu said, this is called the king's grant, but the minister cannot refuse!" He handed over the two imperial edicts to Li Qin, and even the procedure of kneeling down to receive the imperial edict was spared.

Li Qin took the imperial edict and opened it and saw that it was written on it, naturally, asking Li Qin not to refuse, to be the King of Xia with peace of mind, to be loyal to the little emperor, and to be a loyal minister at all!

After a few glances, Li Qin was really amused and crying. The King of Xia was too cheap. Everyone said that eunuchs were just doing things, but this was too straightforward!

After reading the imperial edict, Jia Xu couldn't bear it, laughed loudly, and turned around and said to the generals: "The little emperor and Zhang Dafu are still very good at doing things. We must give this favor, we can't bear it!"

The generals were all blushed with excitement, and the waters rose and the ships rose. Li Qin was named the king. Their future was naturally bright, and there was no reason not to be excited. They laughed loudly and everyone advised Li Qin not to let down the emperor's kindness!

Li Qin sighed and said, "I am dedicated to serving the court and serving my loyalty to the emperor..."

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Of course, of course, the prince's loyalty is a sign of the sun!"

Li Qin continued: "I have never thought about personal self-interest, not seeking fame or profit..."

The little eunuch quickly said, "That's it, that's it. For the prince, fame and fortune are like dirt, and they have always been disdainful!"

Li Qin thought to himself: "This little bastard responded smoothly, no wonder Zhang Rang sent him here!"

But he was afraid that this was a conspiracy after all. He remembered that many emperors in history wanted to kill powerful ministers, who were first appointed as high-ranking officials, and then took the opportunity to kill the powerful ministers when they went to thank them. Didn’t Dong Zhuo die like this? He thought that Liu Xie wanted to abdicate to him, but as soon as he was granted the title, he was killed. It doesn’t matter if others were deceived, but there was no need for him to be deceived!

Li Qin said: "It's good. Go back and say to Zhang Zhongguan, thank you for your trouble. Well, I will lead the troops to the battle, so I'll ask Zhang Zhongguan for the matter in Beijing." After all, he didn't say anything to thank him for going into the city.

After thinking about it, he said again: "After I leave, I am afraid that some people in the capital will not accept Zhang Zhongguan. Zhang Zhongguan now has no direct army. If something happens, I am afraid that he will find it difficult to solve it. Go back and ask, if Zhang Zhongguan needs it, I will send an army to stay and be his direct army. I will only listen to his dispatch alone. If it is not necessary, then I will send troops and prepare for him. He will recruit some new recruits. Don't use the Yulin Army. I am afraid that he will not be able to dispatch it at that time. The new recruits will be obedient and will be more useful!"

The little eunuch agreed repeatedly, and saw that Li Qin had no other orders, he said goodbye and returned to the city. Before leaving, Li Qin praised him a lot of jewelry and asked him to bring a land deed to each of Zhang Rang and the Ten Constables. The land on the land deed was all ten thousand acres, and the location was in Bingzhou, which was Li Qin's thanks to them. Now Zhang Qin is taking care of Bingzhou, so giving them the land of Bingzhou can make the eunuchs more relieved. This is to leave a way out for them. Even if something unexpected happens in the future, the Ten Constables will lose their power, and then with ten thousand acres of fertile land, you can live the rest of your life comfortably!

After sending the little eunuch away, Jia Xu and the generals congratulated Li Qin together. The news spread. The entire Fujiao Army barracks were filled with joy and the leader was named king. This is a great good thing. In the entire Han Dynasty, Li Qin's official title had reached its peak. If he wanted to go further, he would kick the little emperor away. He became the emperor himself. There were almost no people who had such ideas before, but now many people have this hope in their hearts, wanting to be the founding father. Of course, this sentence cannot be said directly, and it would be boring to make it clear!

Two days later, all the matters to go to the expedition were ready. Li Qin led his troops to the expedition. The young emperor was carried by Zhang Rang and came out of the city to see Li Qin off. It was so annoying to be the emperor. Fortunately, Liu Xie was too young and had no idea about imperial power. Otherwise, if the powerful ministers did not go to see him, he would have to see him off. He would not afford to give him this face alone and would have to cry loudly. No amount of candy was given to him!

Zhang Rang was quite worried at first. What if Li Qin went out to war and someone rebelled in the capital? Even if Li Qin left the army, the army would not obey its orders. What if the "suppression" was not timely and hurt them? Their Ten Eunuchs were of less use to Li Qin. Maybe the Fujiao Army who stayed in Beijing would deliberately suppress them in time and let the rebels kill them. This is very likely!

He learned that Li Qin was willing to sub-departures to him, but he was unwilling to accept it. If the Fujiao Army, who was given to him, listened to him openly but actually secretly monitored him, that would be bad! He could recruit soldiers by himself, and Li Qin came out, which was exactly what he wanted. The treasury in Luoyang was robbed, and he had no money to recruit soldiers. If Li Qin was willing to pay, why didn't he recruit new recruits? Just as Li Qin said, new recruits are very useful. As long as he gives more benefits, he can still feel more at ease in terms of loyalty!

Thirty miles away from the city, Zhang Rang held Liu Xie and sent Li Qin away. Li Qin did not leave the headquarters of the Fujiao Army in the city, and there were no one in the entire Jingji area. However, elsewhere, he left more than a thousand veterans, mainly to ask the veterans to recruit some new recruits and promote the Fujiao Army. In addition, if there are some small rebellions, a thousand people are enough to deal with it!

Zhang Rang sent Li Qin away, and he thought to himself: "While Li Qin is not in Luoyang and there are not many troops left, I should develop my strength. After all, I have the emperor in my hand, so it's just right!"
