In the afternoon, in the Yingdu Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiahou Jing, the leader of the Central Plains forces, was discussing matters with everyone.
At this time, a soldier walked up to Xiahou Jing and handed him an imperial edict that shocked China.
Xiahou Jing looked at the imperial edict carefully, suppressing his anger and forcing himself to finish reading it.
After reading it, Xiahou Jing stood up suddenly, drank the wine in the jug in one gulp, and sighed loudly: "Sad! Infuriating! Lamentable!"
After drinking, Xiahou Jing threw the wine jug hard on the ground, and it broke into pieces.
"Prime Minister, please calm down!" All the ministers were shocked and then bowed.
"Funny!" Xiahou Jing sat back in his seat and threw the so-called edict to the ground.
"Come here, give this treasonous book to Yuan Lie and Ling Fang for a look."
Qin Yuanlie and Xiao Lingfang stepped forward and looked at the imperial edict together, which was enough to make Xiahou Jing furious.
Xiao Lingfang, the chief civil official, was shocked after reading the first paragraph.
Lu Ganhai, who was entrenched in Huaizhou, actually proclaimed himself emperor!
After reading the imperial edict, Qin Yuanlie, the chief military general, clenched his right fist tightly, wishing he could tear it up!
"Have you finished reading it? What do you think?"
"I guess other people would also like to know what's on it?"
"I'll tell you!"
"Lu Ganhai has proclaimed himself emperor!"
"A man addicted to alcohol and sex actually claimed to be emperor!"
"What on earth gave this man the courage?"
"Ling Fang, tell me!"
Xiao Lingfang put away the imperial edict and told everyone what he had seen.
"This edict was issued by the traitor Lu Ganhai."
"Every word in the book is the words of a traitor."
"What are you talking about? The Chichao is dead, and Daji should be the heir!"
When everyone heard this, they were so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths.
"This Lu Ganhai is too bold."
"He deserves death!"
"We have to fight him!"
"Gentlemen, do you know why this rebel dared to declare himself emperor?" Then, Xiao Lingfang explained the reason why Lu Ganhai dared to declare himself emperor.
"This is related to the previous Fengdu Incident. At that time, the various armies were fighting each other, and Emperor Chihui and King Mu took this opportunity to escape Fengdu."
"During the melee, the Imperial Guards commander Yin Aoting found the lost Imperial Seal and presented it to Lu Ganhai!"
"My lord, am I right?" Xiao Lingfang turned around and asked Xiahou Jing respectfully.
Xiahou Jing stood up and walked down from the stage. "That's right! But Ling Fang still has something to say!"
"My lord, the following content is really infuriating! Please allow me to directly wipe out the bandits on land!" Qin Yuanlie volunteered.
"Hahaha!" Xiahou Jing shook his head, then burst into laughter. After a while, he got back to business: "Don't rush. I want everyone here to know what kind of courtesy I will receive if I surrender to this traitor."
"Everyone says that Lu Ganyue and the two brothers don't get along, but I don't think that's necessarily true."
"Brother Lu Ganyue must be so exhausted being the Grand Marshal and General under King Mu!"
"My younger brother Lu Ganhai is very considerate. He was directly promoted to Grand Marshal."
"This way I won't be too tired. At least I won't have to worry about military affairs."
"As for the other princes, he, Lu Ganhai, was given a general title."
"It's different here. He directly appointed me as a Zhong Chang Shi."
"What do you think? Should I surrender to him?" Xiahou Jing looked at everyone.
When they heard about this position, everyone started to murmur.
"Emperor Zhong? This Lu Ganhai might have gone insane!"
"To humiliate the lord in this way is unbearable!"
"How foolish! I really want to immediately offer his leader to my lord to vent my anger!"
The so-called Zhong Chang Shi can only be held by eunuchs!
This has been the case throughout the dynasties.
This is simply a huge humiliation to Xiahou Jing!
The generals could no longer bear it and asked for battle again.
Xiahou Jing's expression also changed at this time. He drew his sword and stuck it into the ground.
"Okay, enough joking! It's time to help the court!"
"Qin Yuanlie, I command you to lead all the generals to arm themselves and begin preparations for the invasion of Lu immediately!"
"Xiao Lingfang, I command you to discuss with the other ministers a plan to attack Lu. Once you have drafted it, submit it to me for review!"
"The rest of the generals and civil officials must obey the orders of these two!"
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
"Everyone go back and prepare!" Xiahou Jing put the sword back into the scabbard and returned to his seat.
Lu Ganhai's behavior was truly disgusting, which further confirmed his judgment of this person.
Be greedy for short-term gains and ignore the overall situation.
To declare oneself emperor at this time would undoubtedly be to be the first to stand out.
If he were Lu Ganhai, he would definitely take it step by step first, and wait until the three emperors’ forces were almost done fighting each other before he would clean up the mess!
It’s a pity that Lu Ganhai is not as smart as him.
Xiahou Jing looked at the map and analyzed the current situation.
The northwestern warlord Yuchi Feng supported King Huai as emperor, the northern warlord Lu Ganyue supported King Mu as emperor, and he himself supported his eldest son King Hui as emperor.
He could still tolerate Kings Huai and Mu proclaiming themselves emperors, after all, the world still belonged to the Ding family.
What's more, as the eldest son, King Hui Ding Zhaoyu was recognized as the emperor by the people of the world, and he was the nominal legitimacy.
But Xiahou Jing could not accept Lu Ganhai's declaration of emperorship at all, as it was undoubtedly a challenge to the Dachi court.
If this continues, I don’t know how many people will become kings and how many will become emperors.
We must destroy Lu Ganhai as quickly as possible with lightning speed!
Otherwise, the emperor in his hands will gradually lose his effect.
"Report - Prime Minister! The emperor summoned you to the palace to discuss the matter of the fake emperor Lu Ganhai." A soldier ran into the palace and reported the emperor's intention to Xiahou Jing.
