Chapter 273 How about a title?

When Chen Yong felt the palace, he met many other colleagues in a spacious study room in the palace.

As usual, the emperor summoned this time all the three dukes and nine ministers, including the current legitimate Taishi and the Grand Marshal Guanghan King Liu Chu.

Like in the past, although they were the three dukes and nine ministers, the number of people who actually gathered far exceeded that of the Taiwei, Situ, Sikong, Taichang, Guangluxun, Weiwei, Taipu, Tingwei, Honglu, Zongzheng, Dasiong, Shaofu, Dajiangqing, Taizhouqing, Taifu, Santai and other officials, all of whom were already present.

Among them, many people hold multiple positions and have overlapping powers, especially the power of the new Han Dynasty has been transferred from the Jiuqing to the Shangshutai, so the three officials have undoubtedly become the core and key.

And the Shangshutai is now in the hands of the King of Guanghan.

This prince was the elder brother of the emperor of the dynasty. His fief was in Shu. He was only in his early thirties. He had great power and had a demeanor. He sat in the upper head and would greet him.

If there is an unknown person here and sees this scene, he probably thinks that Liu Chu, the King of Guanghan, is the master of this place.

This strange atmosphere lasted for a while, and as the last Lieqing arrived, all the people who should come were finally here, and the emperor had not come yet. According to convention, this was the time for them to communicate with each other.

It is not uncommon for the emperor to summon ministers alone outside the court meeting, and it is normal to summon the three dukes and nine ministers. Many policies are actually formulated in this way, because on this occasion, the people gathered are the highest leaders of the entire country.

Before they really meet the emperor, they must have at least some consensus. Otherwise, if the human emperor makes a noise in front of him, then there will be no more things to do.

At this moment, everyone, including Chen Yong, looked a little surprised and could not confirm the purpose of this gathering.

Unlike Chen Yong, many of the people present had not heard of Liu Yuan at all, but when they thought about the recent situation, they could also say that it was related to the Huns.

"Could it be that Your Majesty has made a decision on whether to fight or reconcile?" Zhao Min, the Great Master, guessed.

The others were also thinking about it. As for Chen Yong and the other two or three, they knew a rough idea, but did not speak rashly, but were observing the situation.

At this moment, the King of Guanghan spoke out: "This time, it was indeed because of the Huns, but it had nothing to do with this battle. It was the Lord of the Huns, Liu Yuan, who was dead."

His voice was faint, and there was a smile on his face when he spoke, as if no news could shake his nerves.

"Oh, so that's what...?"

Many Lie Qing, who had not received the news, heard this and then changed his mind and realized the meaning behind it.

"This is impossible!"

Following this is a series of experiences, just like Chen Yong and Chen Die before.

Afterwards, the King of Guanghan smiled lightly and briefly explained the story. The content was similar to what Chen Huan knew. He also said Liu Yunyan, Liu Yao, and even mentioned Chen Zhi.

After he finished speaking, the entire imperial study room fell into a strange silence. Lieqing looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all felt that this was too bizarre. Just thinking about many events in history, I felt that Liu Yuan's death was not unacceptable than many more afflicting ways of dying.

But in this way, the current situation will change suddenly and become confusing.

Seeing everyone talking for a while, King Guanghan said, "As soon as Liu Yuan died, it was related to Chen Zhi. With His Majesty's character, he would definitely give Chen Zhi a great reward, whether it was an official position or a wealth. So when I first arrived, I would never agree to this matter, so as to leave some room for maneuvering behind."

"Not appropriate, not appropriate!" Zhao Min of the Great Master shook his head and said, "Although this matter was caused by Chen Zhi's actions, he did not take the initiative to plan. How can it be counted on him? If Your Majesty wants to give a reward, I will be the first to object."

"Why? It's not Chen Zhi's credit, is it yours?" King Li of Guangluxun also spoke, just like the previous tit-for-tat atmosphere in the court. "If Chen Zhi hadn't done anything, how could Liu Yuan die early? This matter cannot be erased. What did these tens of thousands of soldiers fail to do, and Chen Zhi did it. If there is no reward, what the world thinks? The Great Honglu should think about this matter carefully. Could it be that it is true to tell the people of the world that Liu Yuan died of illness by accident, and he still chose this at this time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed.

They each have high positions and are in a high position and can certainly see and get in touch with more information, so they immediately appreciate the hidden meaning behind Wang Li's remarks.

The new defeat of the army will eventually be difficult to hide. If it spreads, the world will be shocked not far away.

No one wants to see this kind of thing, so we must find a way to make up for it. In addition to finding a few scapegoats, it is more important to divert the attention of all parties through one or two incidents, bring the matter past, and at the same time find some points to restore the face of the court and maintain majesty.

Is there anything that can save face better than killing the enemy's leader?

After thinking about it, Zhao Qi, the Minister of the Five Soldiers, couldn't help but say: "The death of Liu Yuan is indeed the credit of my Central Plains Master. Is there any reason to push it out? Liu Yuan was seriously ill before, and you all knew that he had improved a lot, but he would have improved for a long time and would not have died for no reason. So what Chen Zhi did was an introduction, but if it were not for this introduction, Liu Yuan would have lived well, so I think this matter should be considered Chen Zhi's credit."

Joke, if you don’t promote this, it’s a waste!

With Zhao Qi's words, others nodded one after another. Whether they were in charge of war or in charge of peace, they were the peak ministers of the Supreme People's Republic of China, and they were actually despised by the small Huns in their hearts. The reason for their differences was that they had different interests and concerns, but maintaining the majesty of the court was their common interests, and there was nothing to argue about.

Even Zhao Min didn't insist and nodded silently.

"Since that's the case, then the matter has been settled," Guanghan King Liu Chu nodded with a smile, and then looked at Chen Yong, "Mr. Chen, your Chen family is really not simple, and they have cultivated such a person."

As soon as he spoke, everyone else bowed to congratulate him, as if they had just remembered the relationship between Chen Yong and Chen Zhi.

Chen Yong, the Grand Duke of the Imperial House, has also changed his low-keyness over the past few days and repeatedly emphasized: "This is what Chen Zhi should do. It should be like this to share the worries of the country."

After a round of congratulations, everyone was also confident. They knew that the emperor would reward Chen Zhi later. As long as they were not too much, they would turn a blind eye. At that time, Chen Yong came forward and asked Chen Zhi to cooperate with the court to carry out publicity. That would be enough.

After everyone's discussions calmed down, the King of Guanghan smiled and said, "After this matter, it's time to discuss the issue of sending troops to the Huns."

As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions became serious again, and they were vaguely divided into two queues. Although there was no obvious distinction, as long as you distinguish it with a little careful attention, you can see the clues.

Main battle, Main harmony.

"Everyone, don't say too much. Now that Liu Yuan dies, the situation is different. I don't need to say more about his character in the Huns. You know clearly that Liu Yuan has been bathing in the saints since he was a child and knows a little bit of shame. When he is in charge, the Huns can maintain stability and unite several tribes. Now that he suddenly dies, there will inevitably be recurrence within. This is a great opportunity."

As soon as this statement was made, Chen Yong, Zhao Min and others showed joy, while Zhao Qi, Wang Li and others frowned slightly, and they could hear the subtext.

Sure enough, I heard the King of Guanghan say, "The Huns were afraid of Liu Yuan's name and were frightened by Liu Yuan's power, so I dare not have any other intentions. However, I have had some contact with all parties in the court. I believe everyone here is also very clear. As long as you continue to contact, win over, divide and give some tribes, it is enough to disintegrate the Huns. This is a soldier that will defeat others without fighting!"

Zhao Min immediately expressed his support and said, "What the prince said is very true. It is precisely this. As long as the response is right, the Huns will collapse without fighting. Why should they use rash weapons?"

Wang Li, Zhao Qi and others wanted to say something again, but at this moment, a eunuch came over and said that the emperor had arrived. While talking, the eunuch glanced at the room and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"If I don't know the inside story, I think the emperor has already entered and is discussing affairs with the ministers." As he thought about it, he glanced at the King of Guanghan, who was standing up calmly and standing together with the other ministers, preparing to welcome the emperor's arrival.

Soon, Liu Dai walked in with great strides, and then there was a ritual of meeting the king and his ministers. At this time, he had not yet kneeled down at any time, and there was the allusion that Zhaolie accepted Chen Hou’s advice.

After the ceremony, Liu Dai sat down and went straight in: "My dear friends, I invite you here today because the leader of the Huns Liu Yuan, you may not know yet, others are dead..."

Speaking of this, Liu Dai saw that everyone had known it for a long time and was used to it, so he changed the subject: "Since everyone knows it, then he should know it. Chen Zhi, who has made great contributions, should be rewarded..."

This was not beyond the expectations of the ministers, so they all maintained a calm expression, each with extraordinary temperament, and thought in their hearts that as long as it was not too much, they should be treated as much as possible. At most, they should be advised to prevent out-of-stance.

But they were still thinking about it, and then Liu Dai said, "I thought about it and felt that the killing of the Huns' thief, and such achievements were comparable to tens of thousands of troops. It was impossible to give it to you. It was not enough to have gold and silver items. So I think, should I give Chen Zhi a title?"

"Ahem!!"

"Ahem!"

"Ahem! Ahem!"
