While talking and laughing, Liu Biao had already arranged seats for various princes. Although his tone was gentle and peaceful, his words were loud and loud, and there was no doubt... Read the latest and most complete novels
After Liu Biao finished speaking, the lobby suddenly fell silent. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others looked at each other and stopped for a while, as if they were weighing the pros and cons.
After a while, Liu Bei stepped forward, bowed to Liu Biao, and said with a smile: "For my brother Jingsheng, I should serve you and treat all the princes well for my brother. However, I still have something to ask for, and I beg my brother to help me to recognize my ancestors and return to my hometown. I wonder if it is possible?"
"Oh?" Liu Biao whispered in shock, staring at Liu Bei with a bright look, stroking his beard casually, and smiled: "I heard that Xuande is a descendant of the Han emperor and a relative of the Han family. I don't expect that my brother has not been included in the Zongzheng Mansion yet. This section is indeed a bit beyond my expectations. Since it is a friend who invites me, if it is verified, I will be the whole brother. However, hehe, if there is no evidence, I will be helpless."
Liu Bei nodded calmly and bowed to thank him: "This is naturally. I am so foolish to thank my brother first." After saying that, he strode to the last seat and sat down, sitting upright, without looking sideways, and a faint smile on his face.
Seeing that Liu Bei had already sat in the last seat, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others looked different, and then the five of them walked to the seat without saying a word.
"Your Majesty is here——!"
Just as the lobby was silent and the seven princes were thinking about it, a sharp and harsh voice came into the hall, causing the princes to suddenly wake up and come back to their senses, frowning at the same time, and glanced at the side door on the left and rear of the upper stairs in disgust.
Facing everyone's eyes, Liu Xie, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, walked into the lobby, followed by Zhongchang Shi Dong Hong. It goes without saying that the sharp and harsh shout just now came from Dong Hong's white face, red mouth and white teeth, which was creepy and hated.
Seeing Liu Xie and Dong Hong stepping into the upper stairs one after another, Liu Xie sat upright on the dragon throne. The seven princes in the hall couldn't sit firmly, and no one stood up to worship for a while.
At this moment, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and six others glanced at Liu Biao, the first person on the left. Seeing that he was reluctant to get up, the six people were not showing weakness, and their eyes were fixed on their noses and their hearts, without moving at all.
Why did Liu Biao not get up to see the emperor coming? Logically speaking, he was the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty. He was well versed in court etiquette and would definitely not be rude in public. But he couldn't sit upright. Not only did he not get up to pay homage to the emperor at the first time, he looked dazed and stunned.
This scene seems abrupt and puzzling, but it is actually inevitable and not difficult to understand. Speaking of which, since the death of Emperor Ling Liu Hong, Liu Biao has never paid any serious visits to the emperor again. Instead, he respectfully knelt down and worshiped Dong Zhuo. Then he obtained the position of governor of Jingzhou from Dong Zhuo, and left the capital and guarded Jingzhou for six years. To this day, he has long been used to kneeling and bowing to him, and never thought that one day he would have to bow to others.
In addition, he had just shocked the six princes and forced them to surrender in front of him and sit down as he said. This made Liu Biao secretly proud and complacent, not expecting that the emperor Liu Xie suddenly arrived at this time, which made Liu Biao really uncomfortable in a hurry, and was stunned and at a loss.
"Cough, ache!"
Just when Liu Biao suddenly felt lost, a few light coughs came from the upper stairs. He suddenly woke up, hurriedly stood up and bowed down. Seeing Liu Biao get up, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other six people suddenly got up and followed, and bowed in unison and said, "Long live your Majesty, please come and see your Majesty!"
"Hu———" Liu Xie, who was standing on the dragon throne at the upper stairs, breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at Liu Biao under the hall with a sinister expression, and a strong look of hatred and worry appeared in his eyes. He noticed the situation just now in the hall. The seven princes followed Liu Biao with the leader of Jingzhou Liu Biao. Liu Biao could not sit firmly, and the princes remained silent and regarded him as the emperor of Han as nothing. When Liu Biao moved, everyone followed him and stood up to bow to the emperor.
This scene cast a thick shadow on Liu Xie's heart. His mentality, who had thought he was safe and sound, swayed violently, and he was very palpitations. Originally, he thought that Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was a relative of the Han Dynasty and the unreliable uncle of the Han Dynasty. When he fled, he completely got rid of the situation of being held hostage and exploited by the princes, and he could rest assured from now on.
But when he saw this scene in front of him, Liu Xie knew that he had taken it for granted and misjudged the great Han emperor in the hall, and looked at him too high. From the current situation, it is not difficult to see that the emperor's uncle Liu Biao had no intention of assisting him, the emperor's nephew, to revive the Han Dynasty. He regarded him as a disaster star and a hot potato. Therefore, he used colors at the first sight of him, implicitly expressing the true attitude of Jingzhou not to welcome you.
In a moment, Liu Xie felt desolate and sad, extremely lonely, and more of a wandering and helplessness. The days he was held hostage and used made him feel deeply humiliated and could not bear to look back. The tragic experience of fleeing to Chang'an made him die and still feel scared. But at present, even Liu Biao, a relative of the Han Dynasty, was unwilling to assist him in supporting the Han Dynasty. Who can truly support him in the six princes to clear the world? Are the seven of them also as fake as Li Li, as real as the real, the traitor as loyal, but actually they are traitors with a hidden ambition?
With a lot of worries, Liu Xie forced himself to suppress his thoughts and tried his best to calm down. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and squeezed out a smile that was even ugly than crying. He raised his hand calmly and said, "Uncle Emperor is old, don't give this great gift, please take your seat quickly."
While speaking, Liu Xie slowly stood up and deliberately showed closeness in front of Liu's surface. In fact, his steps did not move, but his butt left the dragon throne and slapped his body to show off. When Liu Biao bowed to thank Gu Zi, the smile on Liu Xie's face became more natural, and he said with a smile: "Everyone is calm and sit down and talks."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The six people in the hall thanked each other in unison, stood up and sat back in their original positions, and looked unpleasant, and seemed to be uncomfortable. It was no wonder that among the six of them, except Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the other four were not used to kneeling and worshiping to others. During the period when they transferred the emperor and officials from Luoyang to Wancheng, they all resisted the kneeling and worshiping ceremony on the grounds that they could not be fully polite. Only Cao Cao and Liu Bei immediately came forward to bow to Liu Xie, and the etiquette was comprehensive. As for why they did this, they were probably the only ones who knew the reason.
After the seven princes each sat down, Liu Biao took the lead in saying some scenes to show his loyalty. These are all clichés in officialdom. After all, he is the uncle of the Han Dynasty and the lord of Jingzhou. No matter what he thought in his heart, even if he had different feelings, he had to say something, just a routine matter.
After listening to Liu Biao's nagging, Yuan Shu continued: "Report to Your Majesty. In recent years, the governor of Yangzhou Liu Yao has done rebellious actions, which has led to the miserable lives of the counties and counties in Yangzhou. The heavens are angry and resentful. The empress begs Your Majesty to punish Liu Yao for the punishment of the exorcism of the emperor to serve as a warning to others!"
Before Liu Xie could speak, Sun Ce interrupted and said, "Liu Yao has been abusing Yangzhou for a long time, and has long been full of complaints. I beg Your Majesty to punish Liu Yao severely. In addition, the Later General (Yuan Shu) has achieved remarkable achievements in governing prefectures and counties, and is worthy of being able to take Yangzhou. I beg Your Majesty to entrust the Later General as the governor of Yangzhou!" Up to now, Sun Ce is still under Yuan Shu's command. At least in name, this is true, but in fact it is to secede Jiangdong and support troops and establish himself. However, Sun Ce has not yet unified Jiangdong, and is still entrenched in Yuzhang County, accumulating strength to wait for the change of time.
"Uh? This" Liu Xie never expected that Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and the other two would throw such a tricky thing to themselves as soon as they spoke. He was stunned and his thoughts were confused. He was so anxious that he burst into cold sweats on his forehead, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that Liu Xie was so embarrassed, Liu Biao couldn't bear it and said loudly: "Don't be impatient, don't be too rush. Your Majesty is out of trouble and is exhausted. You are all ministers of the humerus of our great man. You should share your worries for Your Majesty. The military and political affairs of the ruler can be handled by yourself. Why bother to alarm Your Majesty? What's more, the Xiliang army is approaching and Nanyang County is in danger. Our top priority is how to deal with the current situation, rather than discussing the disputes around your jurisdiction. Do you agree?"
Cao Cao happily agreed: "What Liu Jingzhou said is so much, so we don't have to discuss the matters under our jurisdiction. If we can't even handle the disputes within our jurisdiction, it would be a bit ridiculous. As for the Xiliang army's obsession, there is no need to be nervous. According to scouts, the Xiliang army is currently stationed in the border of Nanyang, perhaps because of the power of Liu Jingzhou, the Xiliang army dare not act rashly, at least there is no intention to attack Nanyang at present."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused and bowed to Liu Xie, who was on the upper stage. He changed his tone and said loudly: "Given the current situation, the imperial capital Luoyang has become a ruin and is under the jurisdiction of Li Zhe. We may not be able to retake it in a hurry. Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty choose another imperial capital, reorganize the dynasty, and command the world!"
"What Meng De said coincides with the weak ministers." Yuan Shao continued, "Luoyang was ruined and he was defeated by the hands of the Li thief. He should build another capital. How could my great Han Dynasty have no imperial capital? At present, although Nanyang County is an imperial town, it has suffered continuous war disasters, the city was destroyed, and it was disrepaired for a long time, and it is definitely not the best choice of the imperial capital. My Jizhou Yecheng, uh, as for where the imperial capital is chosen, you still need to work together. It is related to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. It is a big deal, so you should consider it carefully." Originally, Yuan Shao was going to express his true intentions directly, but when he spoke, he saw the six princes looking at him in different expressions, forcing him to pause, stammer, and look around and talk about others.
Despite this, Yuan Shao's original intention of welcome to the emperor this time was fully revealed. His purpose was to bring the emperor and all officials to Jizhou, in an attempt to use the emperor to order the princes.
Seeing that Yuan Shao had expressed his feelings, Cao Cao was not vague and immediately invited the emperor and all officials to move to Yanzhou, claiming that he could send troops to retake Luoyang and rebuild the imperial capital Luoyang in time. Liu Bei, who followed closely behind, also stated in vain that Xuzhou was an important town in the Central Plains and had the danger of Sishui. In the future, he could also restore Luoyang and revive the Han Dynasty. In addition to the three of them, the remaining four princes: Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and Lu Bu were silent, and suddenly stayed out of the matter and watched the tiger fight.
Just as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were quarreling with each other, the civil servants and generals under the command of various princes waiting outside the hall heard the news and entered the hall one after another. The officials from the court came in with them.
As soon as he walked into the lobby, he saw a tall, magnificent general with a long beard furious and shouted sternly: "It's outrageous! Liu Jingsheng bullied my brother too much. Do you think the sword in Guan's hand is not good?" He finally got into trouble with pinching the soft persimmon. Someone stepped forward to stand up for Liu Bei, and pointed the blade directly at Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng who was sitting calmly.
