Chapter 533: Appointment of the Center
Fang Zhiwen was busy organizing troops and preparing to go south to attack Fu County. Fang Zhiwen's pace was so slow, it was completely intentional. On the one hand, he was busy getting rid of the people in the counties, and on the other hand, he also gave time these players of the Yellow Turban camp to give them time to resurrect and then continue to fight.
It was not until they had almost consumed their financial and material resources that Fang Zhiwen turned his finger to other places. Of course, there was also the idea of eliminating the conflicts. Fang Zhiwen also gave players who did not have the will to resist and time to withdraw from Chengyang County and Langya County.
However, according to the information in Fu County, there seem to be many people who are willing to fight Fang Zhiwen to the death. The cause of this situation is very interesting. Perhaps there is really some force behind it. Fang Zhiwen and Tian Feng are very clear about this. At least Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are happy to see Fang Zhiwen being defeated in Chengyang County, and the large tribes in Yuzhou and Xuzhou. They probably have no good impression of the greedy Fang Zhiwen.
However, it is precisely because of this that Chengyang County has the possibility of a battle. Otherwise, all the players' forces will run away, so what else can Fang Zhiwen fight? Just turn it into an armed parade.
Not only are these local forces that have caused trouble to Fang Zhiwen, but it seems that the development of Fang Zhiwen has gradually made the big men in the center a little uneasy.
"It's such an interesting appointment. I'd love to know, what's Bongxian's face now?"
"That's all right, I must be furious, but I guess General Lu will directly reject this appointment and ask himself to leave his post?"
Tian Feng said affirmatively that the copy of the appointment edict in Fang Zhiwen's hand was sent directly from Lu Bu. It was a very strange thing that the appointment edict actually contained the emperor's seal. Could it be that the emperor could not even keep his own seal?
In this appointment edict, Lu Bu was deprived of all his posts in Bingzhou and retained only the title of General Anbei. He also gave him the title of Marquis of Yanbeiting, and then appointed Lu Bu as the prefect of Lelang and removed the position of Chen Shuo, the prefect of Lelang.
I believe that soon, Chen Shuo will receive the edict for dismissal. This matter seems like a farce no matter how you look at it. First of all, you can get rid of Chen Shuo's position, but Chen Shuo's real power cannot be taken away. Lelang is far away. Can the people in the center manage it? To put it bluntly. Isn't the emperor afraid that Lelang will directly rebel?
There are also Lu Bu in Yanmen and the six counties in the north of Yanmen, now under the control of Lu Bu. The court said that it would be so simple to take Lu Bu off. Are you not afraid of Lu Bu's rebellion? Or do they think that Ding Yuan can really control Lu Bu?
In fact, these two edicts were impossible to be implemented at all, but the emperor still stamped a seal on it. This edict was recognized in the system and had compulsory effect, which would directly deprive Lu Bu and Chen Shu of the ability to exercise their powers. However, they could not deprive them of their control over the actual territory, nor could they deprive them of ownership of the city.
In other words, they deprive them of their personnel appointment and removal power, as well as the power to release government affairs.
What exactly are you going to do? Do the meat eaters in the center think that Lu Bu will start a war with Fang Zhiwen because of this? This is a bit unconscious!
"Rejection is certain. What I am interested in is what the hell is about? What does it mean?"
Fang Zhiwen frowned slightly. This was at least a bad signal, indicating that the center could no longer tolerate the arrogance of Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen, or, in other words, a warning from the aristocratic camp?
"If we only look at the content of the edict, this edict is obviously a warning. It is a warning to General Lu and the lord, not to mention the effectiveness of this warning, but at least it can convey an attitude. Their tolerance for the lord and Lu Bu has reached a limit, and it should be this attitude."
"What about the emperor's seal? What does he mean? Do you want to drive us to the opposite side?"
"Haha, lord, please pay attention to the location of this seal. Is it a little bit lower?"
"Hey, after saying that, it's really a bit low. It's printed under the date. What's the meaning?"
"This is what we have to do! The seal is a powerful weapon of the country, and it was suppressed and left its original position. The emperor meant that he had gradually lost the power to confront the aristocratic races and needed more external support."
"A child who can cry has milk, is he crying poor, right?"
"Hey! I'm afraid it's true."
Fang Zhiwen looked at Tian Feng with a worried face and smiled secretly in his heart. It was indeed difficult to get rid of the idea of loyalty to the emperor that penetrated into his bones.
"What the emperor meant was to make us mess up?"
"Absolutely, if the lord doesn't make a fuss, Lu Bu will also make a fuss. I'm afraid the first one to suffer is the family's industries in the six counties of Yanbei. This time the emperor is adding fuel to the fire!"
Fang Zhiwen immediately understood Tian Feng's idea. No, this should be the emperor's idea. The ideas of these central bosses were originally intended to give Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen a warning and leave a tail by the way. When the right time, they would pull out this tail to make a fuss.
But in essence, this is just a political means and a signal, not a substantial action, but the emperor issued an edict outside the written documents of the Shangshu Mansion, which is equivalent to a very severe slap. This level of stimulation will make Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen very embarrassed. If you don’t do anything, you will be too weak!
The emperor is forcing Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen to take action!
"Haha, the emperor's hand is very good, we have to take the call!"
Tian Feng smiled, as if he was very satisfied with the emperor's cunning: "Then let's take the initiative, what will the lord plan to do?"
"Hey, didn't you, the military advisor, give a suggestion first?"
"Uh... what the lord said is very much. Then let me go back and think slowly!"
"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore!" Fang Zhiwen said helplessly. Recently, Tian Feng has become more and more shameless. Fang Zhiwen forced him, so he used the word "drag" technique, so that Fang Zhiwen had no choice but to deal with him! It seems that to control him, he has to find another way.
"Lu Bu can fight back against the aristocratic races with practical actions. We cannot do this, because all the decrees of our Miyun are famous. They must comply with previous policies and cannot be taken at will. If we do so, we will greatly damage our credibility and we must never do this."
Tian Feng nodded while stroking his beard, and then said, "Of course we can't do this. Since they come from the big point of view, we can also fight back from the big point. Now the world is in a raging way, and the authority of the center has been questioned by everyone, so we can also question it!"
"This is a forgery of edicts and life?!"
"That is, we can directly point the finger at the Shangshu Mansion, and then ask the emperor to come forward to face it. In this way, in order to win the hearts of the people and our support, the emperor will inevitably use this to publicly support the lord and Lu Bu, and at the same time, it can also effectively attack the prestige of the aristocratic ministers and let the general public see the true faces of these court officials."
Fang Zhiwen took a strange look at Tian Feng, who was slightly excited, and shook his head and said:
"Haha, is this the emperor's real purpose?"
"perhaps!"
"Yuan Hao thought that if he really developed to this level, what would the emperor be in?"
Tian Feng looked at Fang Zhiwen's strange smile, his heart tightened for no reason, his face became a little ugly, and his voice said with a little harsh voice:
"Will they still take the blame for the world?"
"The emperor's health has never been very good. It would not be strange if he suddenly died. Since he was disobedient, should he find someone to support him? Or should he ask someone to support him, if he has a wise and kind person to support him, anyway, since his reputation is bad today, I believe the people will not have any questions, what do you think?"
“This…this…this…”
"Yuan Hao, sometimes people's courage is forced out. If they really force them to that level, would it be really something that could not be tolerated by the emperor? I don't think so!"
Fang Zhiwen tapped the table gently with his fingers, silently thinking about the pros and cons of this matter. This is an opportunity to accelerate the progress of the game. Fang Zhiwen could see it, but he had not yet figured out the pros and cons of this matter for him. If the choice is only controlled by his own hands, Fang Zhiwen would not worry.
But now there is the variable of Lu Bu, and Lu Bu himself is not worried. Ding Yuan will definitely inform Lu Bu of the pros and cons, so that Lu Bu can restrain as much as possible. But what about the strange people around Lu Bu? After they know this opportunity, will they try their best to fuel the fire and force the conflict between the royal family and the aristocratic race to intensify and openly become?
No matter what, accelerating the game process should be beneficial to players without any harm, right?!
Tian Feng was also thinking silently, but the direction of his thinking was very pure, which was the pros and cons of doing so. Although he had more or less fantasies about the emperor, his position should be measured from the interests of Miyun and other groups. He could still insist on this. He must be loyal to others. This is Tian Feng's unwavering firm principle.
"Master, if this is the case, it is more beneficial to us to try not to intensify the conflict. Then it is just a defense above. It can not only express our attitude, but also weaken the impact of this matter. Of course, I don't want to see your prediction become a reality. This kind of responsibility cannot be borne!"
Fang Zhiwen looked up at Tian Feng and suddenly sighed: "Yuan Hao! This matter is not only something we can decide, nor is it just in Fengxian's hands. I am afraid that Yiren will disturb you! Fengxian's sense of confidentiality has always been very poor. It is estimated that this matter has been noticed by the aliens around him. If Yiren exercised his strength behind his back, no matter how much we want to suppress it, it would be impossible. I should consider the worst result!"
Tian Feng's face changed rapidly, and after a while, Wei Ran sighed: "It's true. If things are out of control, the lord should return to Youzhou to take over the overall situation. If necessary, annihilate Gongsun Zan and take down the eastern part of Youzhou. First, I can make my worries, and second, I can do my best to protect Liu Yu from Yuan Shao's attack and make him our shield."
