Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 440: Confessing the King

The Tai Chi car began to slow down after entering Hulao Pass. It was dawn when it arrived in Luoyang, and there were already people standing outside Luoyang City.

After Liu Xie received the news of Lu Bu's triumphant return, he began to prepare to welcome him. After all, this time was different from the past. Lu Bu returned with the power of sweeping the world. Both his reputation and military exploits had reached a peak, no matter what the specifications were. It's not too much to welcome Lu Bu.

Outside Luoyang City, Liu Xie stood on a high platform. Beside him, Xun You, Zhong Yao and others lined up in sequence.

When the Tai Chi carriage arrived and stopped slowly outside the gate of Luoyang City, Liu Xie had already led his ministers to greet it.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Lu Bu got out of the car and saluted Liu Xie.

"The Taiwei's achievements in bringing peace to the world are unprecedented in ancient and modern times. How can I neglect him?" Liu Xie said with a smile.

The ministers also saluted and congratulated Lu Bu one after another. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, Lu Bu's achievements were not only unprecedented in the world, but few people could match them in ancient and modern times.

Most people were even ready for Lu Bu to take this opportunity to seize the throne.

"Your Majesty, your words are serious." Lu Bu shook his head and accompanied Liu Xie and his ministers back to the city. With the emperor coming to court, Luoyang has become much more prosperous than before in three years, especially for the first time seeing Luoyang. This style is even more novel for Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

After Liu Xie praised Lu Bu, he just asked Lu Bu to go home and rest. Liu Xie will reward him in the palace three days later.

After the war is over, the heroes of this battle should naturally be rewarded.

Lu Bu has not seen his wife and children for three years, so he naturally misses her. It is not natural for outsiders to return home to reunite with his lovely wife and concubine.

Three days passed as Lu Bu reunited with his wives and concubines. Lu Bu took his ministers to the court to pay homage to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie bowed solemnly to Lü Bu, and before Lü Bu could refuse, Liu Xie said, "I am giving this gift to help the virtuous brothers of the Han Dynasty, Xie Taiwei, to bring peace to the world, and secondly, to thank Taiwei for ending the war for all the people in the world, so that the common people will not suffer!"

Lu Bu did not refuse anymore and returned the favor by saying, "This is a matter within my duty."

Liu Xie said with a smile: "The Taiwei does not need to be humble. Without the Taiwei, there would be no prosperous age today. We will discuss the rest later. Today is the day to reward merits."

After the ministers all stood up, Liu Xie asked the eunuchs around him to read out the edict of award.

This time, rewards are given from low to high. First, the generals who participated in the war are rewarded, and then the generals who have outstanding performance on various battlefields, such as Xu Huang, Pang De, Zhang Xiu, Cao Xing, Wei Xu, and Song Xian , Wei Yue and others are basically all generals with real power, and at worst they all hold the position of Zhonglang General.

Then there are generals like Hua Xiong, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, and Gan Ning who have commanded a single campaign. Ma Chao was named General Anbei, responsible for guarding Youzhou, and Gan Ning was named General Annan, responsible for the southern navy, and guarding Jiangdong. , Wei Yan guarded the Chang'an area for General Anxi. Hua Xiong was the most special. As a veteran general in the army, he was of the same era as Xu Rong and others. Although he was not the commander this time, he was basically the one who fought the battle of Jizhou, so he was sealed He is the general of Zhendong.

After that are the three major generals: Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Zhang Liao.

Gao Shun was appointed as the General of the Conquering the West, Zhang Liao was appointed as the General of the Conquering the North, and Xu Rong was appointed as the General of the Conquering the South. The three were dispatched by the Ministry of War, but they were also ministers of the Ministry of War. They would stay in the court to report on their duties on weekdays, and lead the army on expeditions during wartime.

In addition, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Guo Jia, and Fazheng also received rewards as the military advisers. Guo Jia was officially appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, Pang Tong was the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Xu Shu was also promoted to the servant of the Ministry of War.

Xun Yu, who was later responsible for logistics on the Jiangdong battlefield, also entered the Ministry of Civil Affairs as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

But what is really surprising is that Ma Jun was appointed Minister of Industry. If this was done in Chang'an, someone would definitely jump out to object, but at this moment, there was no one in the court to refute.

After all, in the past three years of the war, everyone has seen the powerful power of craftsmen, which has directly overturned an era. The stubborn conservatives have basically been eliminated by Lu Bu. Nowadays, hundreds of officials in the court, for Ma Jun, a craftsman, has become a court official. Although the existence of Zhongbi Jiuqing is a bit awkward, no one can refute it.

The fact that this war was able to end so quickly must be attributed to Ma Jun and the Ministry of Works. If it weren't for the Ministry of Works, it would not have been possible to fight so smoothly.

At this point, each of the six ministers had their own masters: Jia Xu of the Ministry of Rites, Li Ru of the Ministry of Personnel, Xun You of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Fa Yan of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Guo Jia of the Ministry of War, and Ma Jun of the Ministry of Industry. At this moment, the new tone of the imperial court was completely complete.

In addition, Chen Deng, Cheng Yu, Lou Gui, Huang Zhong, Wenpin, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Yu Jin, Cao Chun, Wang Wei and other generals also made meritorious service in the final battle. There are rewards.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the imperial court maintained their titles, but their official positions were empty. After all, they were technically considered traitors. It is not easy to return to the court now. Naturally, they will not be given the official positions of real power. They are also prepared for this. Not much emotion.

However, the most important thing next is to award Lu Bu. This is the most important and the most difficult.

After all, if we say that this time to bring peace to the world, Lu Bu is naturally the one who has made the greatest contribution. Everyone else has been rewarded. It would be unreasonable not to grant Lu Bu a title. However, Lu Bu is now a Taiwei, ranking among the three Dukes, and his title is also a county prince. It can be said that he is already a title. Nothing can be sealed.

Normally, there are only two ways to deal with Lu Bu at this time, one is to kill!

After all, the world has been decided, and Lu Bu, who has surpassed the royal family in terms of popularity and ability, is a threat to the royal family.

But he couldn't be killed. Everything in the world was brought down by Lu Bu. The civil and military forces of the entire dynasty were basically Lu Bu's people. Let alone Liu Xie, he couldn't be killed. Even if he could be killed, once Lu Bu died, the world that had just been calmed down would probably immediately fall into chaos again.

Since you can't kill, you can only find new things to reward.

"Lü Bu, Marquis of Wen, has made many military exploits since the Chuping period. He recuperated at home, stabilized the people and cultivated virtues, conquered the princes externally, and reunited the world. Today, he broke the ancestral rule, named Lu Bu the King of Zhao, and worshiped him as the Prime Minister. , I am the commander-in-chief of the dynasty, but I can go to the palace with swords and shoes. If you don’t follow me when you enter the dynasty, you won’t be praised and worshiped!"

"No, Your Majesty!" Lu Bu bowed and declined. This thing must be declined at least three times before it can be accepted. Although there is no explicit rule, but... this is the rule.

"Didn't the Taiwei tell me that the rules of the past may not apply today, and others may not, but I believe that the Taiwei's merits are enough to receive this reward. If the Taiwei is willing, I can also give up the throne to the Taiwei!" Liu Xie stood up and smiled.

"Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense. How can the emperor be so careless?" Lu Bu said with a frown.

"I really want to do it. If the Taiwei is unwilling to take over, he must accept the position of King Zhao." Liu Xie's attitude was rarely tough.

Lu Bu just refused, and the emperor went to court.

Liu Xie was naturally unwilling. Firstly, he felt that Lu Bu should receive this title. Secondly, if Lu Bu did not grant the title, the reward would not continue.

Three days later, he went to court again to invite Lu Bu to be granted the title, but Lu Bu refused.

After another half month, Liu Xie led his ministers to invite Lü Bu to receive the title. Lü Bu finally refused and accepted the reward from the court and was promoted to king.

"Why aren't you happy that your husband has been granted the title of king?" Yan poured Lu Bu a cup of tea and looked at Lu Bu with some confusion.

After Lu Bu was granted the title of king, the status of everyone in the Lu family naturally changed. Yan was the princess. Although Wang Yi and Diao Chan were still concubines, their status was improved than before. Lu Lingqi became the princess, and Lu Yong was the heir apparent.

Lu Bu held the teacup, shook his head and said with a smile: "Once this example is broken, the conditions for this king will continue to be lowered in the future. After all, there will always be some people with high achievements or special favors in all dynasties, and with my achievements today, , if he is granted the title of king, it is inevitable that some people will have other ideas."

"The world was conquered by my husband. As far as the soldiers of the three armies and even the people of the world are concerned, it is justifiable for my husband to ascend the throne at this time. Why is my husband worried about this?" Wang Yi came over with the fruit plate, sat down next to Lu Bu, and looked at him in surprise. Lu Bu.

"But what's the point of another dynasty reincarnation?" Lu Bu shook his head, this was not his goal.

Wang Yi looked at his husband with some surprise, and after a moment said: "I don't want my husband, who is the emperor, but I don't know what my husband's ambition is?"

Lu Bu smiled and said: "I always want to create a system that will last for a thousand years. Maybe the world does not need an emperor at all... That's not right. The world must have someone to lead the country to maintain the world. However, this world should not be a world of one family and one surname. …”

"The husband replaced him just to comply with the time of heaven." Wang Yi looked at Lu Bu in surprise. Isn't that what he meant?

"That's not the case, but the throne should not be passed down from father to son, or should not be passed down from one generation to the next!" Lu Bu thought: "If it is a family, the dynasty will only continue to weaken after its peak, and there is no guarantee that all emperors will be wise kings. But if we don’t stick to the emperor’s surname, is there any system that can ensure that the emperor will be virtuous from generation to generation?”

This was what Lu Bu came up with during this period. Although the ancient legends may sound a bit fantasy, they can be used for reference after all.

But how to ensure that every generation of monarchs will be wise? How to ensure that future generations of kings will not change their ways to return to the world? Lu Bu couldn't think of a solution to these problems for a while.

"Ever since Xia started his family, this has been the case for generations. Could it be that my husband wants to restore the ancient system?" Wang Yi frowned.

Lu Bu shook his head: "Since it failed, it means that this method is not perfect. What we are looking for is an inheritance method suitable for today, alas~"

This is what worries Lu Bu the most right now. These ideas are too shocking now. I'm afraid not many people in the world can accept them. If they are implemented rashly, they may end up in one generation. They are not in line with Lu Bu's expectations, and there is no discussion. The most important thing is that Lu Bu has this idea, but it has not formed a complete system and is not convincing. It seems that he needs to find time to enter the simulation world again and spend his whole life trying what to do next. Just fine.

But it's not necessary now. Next, what the world wants is recuperation and development. There are many things to do. Lu Bu has to make a future development plan and arrange it...
