Liu Bei was in a very complicated mood at this time and felt very bad. He felt really uncomfortable when he was making a chess piece. The three brothers looked at each other and followed without saying a word. They hurriedly walked out of the yard of the main hall from the side door and disappeared from everyone's sight. Fortunately, the three brothers had been forgotten by the ministers, and no one continued to pay attention to them..././
Liu Bei was worried about gains and losses at this moment, and at the same time he was secretly shocked by the emperor's actions. The emperor performed ordinary in the hall, but the final clever blow was amazing. If it was the emperor's arrangement for him to be summoned now, the emperor would be extremely smart.
First, he used himself as a guise to attract the attention of the ministers and cleverly passed the fighting arena. Then, he used the fighting arena as a guise to cover up the light on his three brothers and truly summon and arrange his positions.
Such scheming and such means cannot be done by a arrogant and extravagant emperor. It seems that Fang Zhiwen’s evaluation of the emperor is correct. The emperor is unable to support it because he can’t help but feel a little nervous when he thinks of this. This huge palace is like a huge prison, trapping the emperor in it. It would be fine if the emperor himself is incompetent, but the emperor is extremely intelligent. What kind of torture is this!!
This is a small palace, which looks very ordinary. Because it was already dark, candles had been lit in the palace. The small yellow gate signaled Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to guard the gate, and then entered the palace with Liu Bei, who was covered in sweat in his palms.
Liu Bei looked up and saw that behind the low desk was the emperor sitting, and Zhang Rang also stood by.
"Your Majesty!..." Liu Bei made good use of his slightly surging mood just now. His Majesty shouted sobbing and depression, full of understanding and heartbreaking feelings, and reached the pinnacle!
"Haha, the emperor brother doesn't need to be polite, just sit down. Did you blame me in your heart just now?"
"I don't dare, I hate you!"
"Oh? Why is this?"
"Your Majesty was forced to this point by those ministers who kept saying that they were loyal to the emperor. It took a lot of effort to govern the country and ensure the country's stability, as if they were stolen from their mouths. Why do they become ministers? They are simply a group of beasts! My brother was heartbroken by His Majesty's grievances. This is all the incompetence of his brothers, which made His Majesty compromise so much. Your Majesty... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
Liu Bei was good at singing and writing. Even the emperor quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, and his favorability towards Liu Bei increased rapidly, which was directly overwhelming.
"The emperor is determined, and it will not be a day when the ice is frozen. As long as we brothers work together, there will always be a day to rectify the country."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be your Majesty's front guard and die without regrets!"
Liu Bei crawled on the ground and presented a loyalty to the emperor. The emperor looked gentle and nodded with a smile.
"You and my brothers are for the sake of the Liu family's death and will not regret it. Now the world is in full swing, so what are the true insights of the emperor's brothers to resolve the current crisis."
"Your Majesty, my brother Yulu, also has a clear view of you. I hope your Majesty will consider it."
"Okay, though."
Liu Bei then started from the annexation of land among the aristocratic tribes in the world. He talked about Liu Yu’s actions in Youzhou, mostly because of his own personal experience, especially the consequences of serious land annexation in the local area. He also saw the arrogance and domineeringness of the aristocratic tribes with his own eyes, and the theoretical basis he heard from Fang Zhiwen. Liu Bei’s words were well-founded and well-informed.
The emperor nodded frequently when he heard this: "So, is it right that I arranged for the emperor's brother to go to Youzhou?"
"Your Majesty is wise, but the emperor's brother is alone in the north. He can be said to be a waste of money in Youzhou. The suffering is not worthy of being told by outsiders. Although there is a good situation in the southwest of Youzhou, if you want to continue to expand your strength, you are already unable to meet the strength. Moreover, Youzhou is far away from the capital. If the capital changes, it is indeed a relationship of far away water and near fire. Moreover, Jizhou and Yanzhou block it, Youzhou and the capital have become an embarrassing situation that is uncontrollable."
The emperor sighed, and there was a strange luster on his slightly swollen and sick face. How could he know that the problem was that if it weren't for Youzhou, Liu Yu's identity as a state governor could not be arranged at all. If it were arranged in Yanzhou, Yuzhou or Sili, these places would be undermined, let alone the state governor, even if they were imprisoned.
"I understand, but there is no way..."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty's strategy is very right. It only requires stronger strength to realize Your Majesty's vision."
"Oh?" The emperor looked at Liu Bei thoughtfully. Liu Bei bit his back teeth and fought hard!
"Your Majesty, please allow me to take the lead and win a turning point for you."
Liu Bei crawled on the ground again, but the emperor did not speak, and Liu Bei did not dare to look up. He was afraid that his expression of worrying about gains and losses was not well concealed, and the emperor discovered it, so he simply lay on the ground and waited for the emperor to have an attitude.
"Haha, the emperor is willing to go to Youzhou, does the emperor also want to go to Youzhou?"
There is something in the emperor's words! Could it be...
Liu Bei suddenly knelt up and said seriously: "Your Majesty, what's the use of me going to Youzhou? Even if I was controlled by me, I would just sigh through Jizhou, and I would... want to go to Jingzhou!"
"Jingzhou!" The emperor's pupils shrank, and he quickly thought about Liu Bei's thoughts, as well as the consequences and changes that this thought would bring. The expression on his face changed uncertainly, and finally he slowly showed a relieved smile.
"Jingzhou is the key to the four battles. The emperor's courage is good, but Jingzhou has been controlled by the aristocratic clans for a long time. Can the emperor have a plan to break the ice?"
"Your Majesty, it's nothing more than one pull and one hit. In fact, the key is to rely on my own strength. If I have two brothers to support me, I will have no shortage of force. As long as I can hold the economic lifeline of Jingzhou, Jingzhou is no problem. More importantly, it is precisely because the Jingzhou clan has great power, but at the same time, there is a contradiction between Jingzhou and the traditional clans in the Central Plains. It is not harmonious with the emerging clans in Jiangdong. Therefore, it is a good place for me to take action, and it is not easy to cause a rebound from ministers in the court."
Liu Bei quickly showed the benefits of Jingzhou and his confidence in controlling Jingzhou in one breath to enhance the emperor's confidence. After a few days in Luoyang, Liu Bei had witnessed the glory of the aristocratic clans and eunuchs in the capital. In such a place, Liu Yan, a serious royal clan, had to be a human being with his tail. Liu Bei was even more unwilling to stay in the capital, and was very impressed by Fang Zhiwen's statement and analysis, so Liu Bei made up his mind to go out. If it didn't work, it would be better to be an idle royal clan and then find an opportunity to leave the capital and seek another development. Anyway, he could not stay in the capital and become a front pawn for the emperor and the aristocratic clans.
The emperor pondered for a while again. He looked at Zhang Rang without any trace. Zhang Rang nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Liu Bei's statement. Zhang Rang, the old man, actually had no idea what Liu Bei's control of Jingzhou meant to the emperor. In his heart, he just simply believed that Jingzhou's power is now splashing water. If Liu Bei went to disrupt the situation, his power might be able to extend it.
Moreover, whether Liu Beicheng or not, as a pawn who can throw it out to fight against the aristocratic races, he is at least a fly that can disgust them. Zhang Rang of Liu Bei's future will be the only way to fight against the aristocratic races. Since the Jingzhou aristocratic races are powerful, then Jingzhou is good.
Not to mention Liu Bei, even Zhang Rang could not guess what the emperor really thought. Although the emperor was very good to Zhang Rang, it was a bit too good. However, it was just a perverted sustenance of feelings, and Zhang Rang still knew it in his heart. In any case, he had to follow the emperor's thoughts. Otherwise, the emperor would go home to take care of himself in his words.
Now that the emperor looked at him, he was obviously hesitating, and hesitation must be between the two of his statements to Liu Bei, so Zhang Rang dared to express his boldness.
Perhaps it was Zhang Rang's approval that made the emperor finally make up his mind, or perhaps the emperor himself made a decision.
"Okay! As the emperor said, I feel very relieved to have such a determination."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Liu Bei's praise was definitely a sincere expression, and the purpose was achieved.
"but....."
This turning point once again made Liu Bei's heart hang high. The emperor looked at Liu Bei, who was worried about gains and losses, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was experiencing the pleasure of power.
"But I am poor now. I am a woman and an inner official. Although I want to support my brother in the south, I have no strength to do so! Otherwise, I will reward a few palace maids and inner officials to take care of my brother's daily life for me, which is within my ability."
"Your Majesty..." Liu Bei once again tried hard to show his acting skills, tears streaming down his eyes: "Your Majesty, I am afraid, I am afraid!"
"Haha, since that's the case, it's decided. I will arrange an appointment as soon as possible. The emperor's brother must also be prepared. Once the appointment is issued, the emperor's brother will leave Beijing as soon as possible to take office, so as not to have too many dreams."
"My brother is obeying the will!"
"Okay, I'm tired, you can step down first. Zhang Dada, you can do the matter of selecting the internal officials and palace maids."
"The old slave is responsible for the order."
Liu Bei paid a big gift again, and then left the palace under the leadership of a small yellow gate. Only then did he realize that his back was soaked with sweat. As soon as he went out, the cold wind blew, he shivered. Liu Bei greeted the two brothers without explaining in detail. He just followed the steps of the small yellow gate and quickly walked towards the side door of the palace, leaving the palace from a small gate where servants usually enter and exit, and did not even dare to hit lanterns. The three brothers quietly merged into the night.
Until he left the palace far away and looked at the passers-by around him, the condensation on Liu Bei's face slowly melted, and even his steps slowed down. He gradually relaxed, and then sighed a long time, finally exhaling the fatigue and pressure that had accumulated in his heart for the whole day.
"Two brothers, things are in harmony, go back and wait for the edict!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other in surprise. If it weren't for the streets, Zhang Fei would have yelled out. Today was really exciting, and it was definitely a day of ups and downs!
From full of hope, to joy, to disappointment, to full of hope, and finally achieved the right result, great joy and sorrow, life is like this! (Your support from this site.com is my greatest motivation.)
