Chapter 113 Mutual Compromise
"Tomorrow, I will appear in the grand court meeting. Mother, please accompany me!" At this moment, Liu Ying showed an expression that was completely different from her tearful appearance.
"I didn't expect that the best performance of this generation of Han Dynasty would be an eldest princess who had been in the deep palace for a long time." Jia Xu looked at Princess Wannian with some surprise. He didn't expect that among so many trash princesses in the Han Dynasty, at the end of their lives, such a character would appear.
"Your Highness the Princess, don't worry. The General of the Cavalry will help you handle everything. You will always have the support of the General of the Cavalry behind you." Jia Xu hesitated and spoke half-threateningly and half-consolingly .
The eldest princess's character was somewhat beyond his expectations, and he couldn't help but become more suspicious of this little-known eldest princess.
"Then we two will take our leave first. Please arrive on time for the court meeting tomorrow, Princess and Queen."
After leaving the palace, Guo Hao was a little confused. Although the eldest princess' regent was a good move, it could only temporarily stabilize the court. The ministers who were eyeing her covetously would not allow an eldest princess to be regent for a long time, not to mention that there were a large number of Han royal family members. Liu Biao and Liu Yu were both difficult figures.
"Wenhe, it's really easy to have you by my side!" Guo Hao exclaimed, "What are we going to do next?"
"That depends on what you think, my lord," Jia Xu said solemnly. He made his position very clear, as an advisor to Guo Hao, but it was up to Guo Hao himself to choose the path.
"What do you think about kicking all these restless guys out?" Guo Hao touched his chin and thought of an idea.
Jia Xu was stunned, then took a deep look and suddenly felt that Guo Hao was a little strange.
But looking at the confused look on Guo Hao's face, Jia Xu knew that Guo Hao was still the same as before, he just happened to have come up with a great idea.
Little did people know that Guo Hao was thinking of the original Dong Zhuo, who monopolized the government, eliminated all opposition forces, and then had basically no rivals in Luoyang and Chang'an, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
If it weren't for Wang Yun's beauty trap, Dong Zhuo would have ended up with a life of wealth and glory.
He can't learn from Dong Zhuo and kill all the opposing forces, and those players can't kill them, but it is still good to drive them all out of Luoyang.
"Send all the unstable factors to different states, and then finish the job in one fell swoop. It's ruthless, I like it."
Jia Xu nodded with satisfaction and expressed his deep agreement with Guo Hao's idea.
Although Guo Hao seems to be in great power now and will soon be able to command the emperor and the other lords, unfortunately he has too little power.
Aristocratic families, frontier officials, royal relatives, these people surrendered on the surface , but who knows what evil they were plotting behind the scenes.
Instead of letting these guys stay in Luoyang and cause trouble, it is better to take the initiative to kick all the stumbling blocks out of Luoyang.
By then, we can properly reorganize Liangzhou and Sili regions, and our strength will not be as weak as it is now.
No matter how strong the power in our hands is now, it is built on the foundation of the Han Dynasty and is still different from our own power.
Jia Xu secretly began to plan to send a group of Han royal relatives to fight against the aristocratic families, such as Liu Yu going to Youzhou to fight Gongsun Zan, and Liu Biao going to Jingzhou to fight against the aristocratic families.
A group of Han royal family relatives must always work hard to stabilize the Han Dynasty. I believe that these Han royal family relatives will also agree with this.
At daybreak, the court meeting started on time in the Weiyang Palace.
Guo Hao gave Jia Xu a nominal position of some importance and allowed him to join the court meetings. After all, there were many people in the court meetings, so it was reasonable to have two more people.
There were many people in the Weiyang Palace whom Guo Hao had never seen before, but from their appearance, one could tell that they were old officials of the Han Dynasty with long beards.
Guo Hao had a headache. Why did a group of guys who were half buried in the earth come out to watch the fun today?
"Everyone, Luoyang is in chaos, but the court still needs to function. I would like to ask the Princess and the Queen to take charge of the situation. Do you have any objections?"
Guo Hao learned some life secrets from Wang Yue, which came in handy .
Guo Hao's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly throughout the palace.
The court, which had been somewhat noisy at first, fell silent for a moment, followed by bursts of whispers.
The ministers had originally planned to nominate one from among the Han royal family today, but Guo Hao actually brought out Princess Wannian from the harem.
"What the General of the Cavalry said is very reasonable. Princess Wannian is indeed a suitable candidate." Liu Bei stepped forward first.
In the past few days, the open and secret struggles among the Han royal family members had exhausted him. Now that Guo Hao could find a suitable candidate, he would of course be the first to rush out to support him.
"It is indeed a good idea to let the eldest princess take charge of everything." Liu Yu, the spokesperson for the most important faction among the clan members, also calmed down from his passion to compete for the throne. The power of the various clan factions is not much different, and it is impossible for them to make concessions to each other. It is indeed a good idea to let the eldest princess be regent.
Liu Yu was, after all, a man of the education faction, and he treated the foreign barbarians mainly through education. Of course, he did not want to see unrest among his relatives, so he was more inclined to compromise with Guo Hao.
Liu Yu felt that the prince's reign would not last long, so there was no need to rush. It would be better to wait until he became stronger and then take it step by step. It was not worth it to risk a fight now.
Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others agreed one after another. They were not willing to provoke a fight, and they also wanted to take it slow. After all, no one could suppress anyone now.
Once these clan members made the decision, it would be meaningless for others to say anything more. The eldest princess would be the regent, and the throne would be put on hold for the time being, waiting for the right time to discuss the position of the emperor. As for when that time would come, that would depend on God's will.
The eldest princess and the queen were invited to the high position of regent. Guo Hao took the opportunity to commend the important ministers under him. Although many court officials had objections, Liu Ying still nodded and approved it.
After all, what Guo Hao wanted were just some honorary positions, and the ministers had no reason to offend Guo Hao for this.
Guo Hao also followed Jia Xu's suggestion and submitted a petition to change the reign title to Kaiyuan. Others did not think much of this reign title, but a group of players vaguely felt that Guo Hao had some evil intentions.
But they couldn't find any evidence, and of course they wouldn't jump out and commit suicide.
Guo Hao is also an extraordinary person. The news of their previous alliance to kill Yuan Shao had already been posted on the forum. Guo Hao is not blind, so of course he knew about it.
As long as Guo Hao makes an effort to investigate, none of these players in the court will be able to escape.
Since Guo Hao was not targeting them, they naturally would not jump out to make things difficult for Guo Hao.
There were few major events after the princess became regent. The first was to bury the late emperor, the second was to change the reign title, and the third was to confer rewards on Guo Hao.
