Chapter Twenty-Eight: Liu Bian's Rise
"Teacher, what is the difference between him and Cao Mengde? Why did we go to him instead of Uncle Xuande? ”
Liu Wei actually didn't understand why Wang Yue had to escort him out of Qingzhou.
Wasn't it Uncle Xuande who defeated Yuan Benchu?
I don't have a good impression of Yuan Benchu, but I still have a good impression of Uncle Xuande, even if I have never met him.
In fact, according to the clan backup, Liu Bei is younger than Liu Wei, but because the relationship research is not good, and Liu Bei was promoted when his father was alive, it is said that his father was commensurate with his clan brother, so naturally he called Liu Bei uncle, in this way, he can also appear closer.
I have to say that these years of running around and looking at people's faces have made Liu Wei, the young emperor, also want to have family affection and a sense of belonging like an ordinary teenager, plus Liu Bei's record is a great loyal minister who is loyal to the country and shares worries for the country, if he goes to him, he should protect himself well, right?
"It's different, staying in Qingzhou, Your Majesty was found by Xuande Gong, and he must have no rights, in addition to having no rights, there may be worries about his life."
Wang Yue solemnly warned Liu Wei that he found that Liu Wei seemed to have a good impression of Liu Bei, which was a dangerous thing.
"Why? My uncle is a relative of the Han family, and my father personally promoted him, so I can call him an imperial uncle, why would he harm me? ”
Liu couldn't argue, but he knew that Wang Yue was an important helper by his father's side, and he shouldn't harm himself, not to mention that he had always protected himself.
"Xuande Gong is loyal and brave, and there is nothing wrong with serving the country and the people, but Xuande Gong is now full of military and people's hearts, and their entire force is extremely cohesive from top to bottom, Xuande Gong will not harm His Majesty Yes, but his subordinates may not be able to say."
Wang Yue's sentence pointed out the core of the problem.
"Xuande Gong is so like a wise man, and all the generals and ministers under his account are dissatisfied, at this time, Your Majesty is gone, how should you deal with yourself? In order for Xuande Gong to continue to rule the four northern states and unify the Han Dynasty in the future, his subordinates will definitely take action against His Majesty. ”
There is no evasion, all Liu Bei's actions so far, no matter how you look at it, are the trip of Mingjun, people in the world can only praise Xuande Gong is the light of the Han Dynasty, although it may be the last light, but no one will deny Liu Bei's positive influence and positive energy.
After all, it is also well known that the improvement of the people's livelihood level in the state is also well known.
"Since the imperial uncle has such a ability, what if the emperor of the Han Dynasty lets him sit on it? I don't think there's any benefit to this throne. ”
Liu Wei said nonchalantly, he was really tired, if he wasn't the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, maybe he would be able to live well to old age under the protection of Liu Bei?
For the sake of his obedient abdication, Uncle Huang shouldn't embarrass himself, right?
"Ridiculous!"
Wang Yue was really angry with Liu Bian, he forgot his identity, and suddenly reprimanded Liu Bian loudly.
He remembered the help given to him by the first emperor back then, gave him the status he wanted, let him teach the prince to become an emperor, and entrusted the future of the Han Dynasty to himself.
If it weren't for the collapse of the Han Dynasty, if it weren't for the uncertain direction of the world, the sooner he would have been the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he would have done what Liu Hong promised to come to the stage and give him a knighthood! But he was ruined by someone, how could he be willing, but as soon as he was a martial artist, even if he had the information of the world, how could he understand politics? How does he understand military affairs!
He doesn't want to see Liu Wei fall willingly, although Liu Wei has always been weak, but the responsibility of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty on his shoulders is what he has always had to assist, as long as he is still the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, then his persistence and stubbornness are still meaningful!
But now he can say that he wants to give way, if Liu Wei gives way, then what is he Wang Yue?
Loser?
With this anger and disappointment, Wang Yue's voice was a little frighteningly loud, and this was the first time he had reprimanded Liu Wei so harshly, from the time he began to teach him swordsmanship.
"Your Majesty still calls yourself me, does Your Majesty know why ancient and modern emperors are all called lonely and widowed?"
"Why can't I call me!"
Liu Wei glared angrily, stiffly facing Wang Yue's eyes.
It was also the first time he had been so tough, with a stubbornness that had no way out.
His expression even looked a little too hideous, the green tendons on his face flare up, Tang Wan gently held his hand on the side, but found that he couldn't grasp it.
Seemingly, can't be caught.
Liu Bian's rise was beyond Wang Yue's expectations, he had never seen Liu Bian's tough attitude, this kind of bloody appearance.
It seems that in this kind of adversity that he doesn't know where to go, Wang Yue, the only person around him, still helped him dream of the ethereal Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and forced Liu Wei to this point.
"No one has ever asked me if I would like to be this emperor!"
Liu Wei straightened his back, he stared at Wang Yue, and also stared at the sunset outside the window.
"If Brother Xie's want, then give it to him!"
"Uncle Huang wants it, then give it to him too!"
"They are willing to rule the world and fight for the world, they are willing to sit in the position of the emperor, so let them sit! Why do you have to force me to sit in that ridiculous position like a puppet and be humiliated! Being tortured repeatedly? ”
"I just want to live the life of an ordinary person! Why don't you let me go? Even if I give way, torture me! ”
"Dong Zhongying is like that! Yuan Benchu is the same! How could he Cao Mengde not be like that! ”
Liu Wei roared, roaring hard, and the anger and grievances that had been suppressed in his chest for an unknown amount of time burst out at this moment, but after so many years of suffering and tears, how can these words be clear?
Tang Wan has been following Liu Bian's side, she knows Liu Bian's suffering, she didn't speak at this time, but just held her hand weakly drooping after Liu Bian's roar, and told him with her actions that she was by his side.
Liu Wei's strength seemed to be drained after roaring, he knelt in the carriage, his hands hung to his side, and his straight backbone was slightly bent, but his head was not lowered, he was still staring at Wang Yue, but the excitement in his eyes dissipated.
Wang Yue was shocked by Liu Bian's rise, Tang Wan has always been sensible and silent in front of outsiders, and Liu Bian realized his gaffe just now.
The three of them were silent, and for a while, the carriage continued to move forward, and the team did not stop.
But it's quiet.
"Teacher, go to Cao Mengde's place, you can meet the queen mother, right?"
Liu Wei lowered his head, looked at the floor of the carriage, looked left and right, and his momentum was a little weaker, he knew that he was too impulsive to talk like that just now.
It's just venting.
I don't know that it is impossible for me to live like an ordinary person, even if it is the best ending, give way to Liu Bei, I will still be monitored.
This is my fate, and I have been destined since I was born.
Born in the emperor's family, that's it.
If you can't put off the arrangement of fate, then you can only accept him, survive in this torturous fate, and live well.
"Ah, yes, it was the old minister who was rude and offended Your Majesty just now."
Wang Yue came back to his senses, confessed, and answered Liu Wei's question.
"Hmm."
Liu Wei nodded, he knew that since he had chosen to leave Qingzhou and was going to find Cao Mengde, then he had to continue to do his mission as the emperor of the troubled times, didn't he want to unify this great man?
At the very least, you have to control your freedom and life.
Compared with the original determination to leave Chang'an, the current Liu Wei has been taught a deeper lesson by reality, and the losses suffered by Yuan Benchu will be converted into his experience.
"Then let's talk to Cao Mengde."
Liu Wei sat down, relaxed his back, and held Tang Wan's hands, the two of them are each other's source of power, and they are also each other's arms living in this world.
"Okay."
Wang Yue found that although Liu Wei did not have any momentum, he did not disperse the stubbornness just now, and he said that he wanted to talk to Cao Mengde, it seems that he has completely absorbed the hardships he suffered from Yuan Benchu.
Now Liu Wei has Wang Yue, a hundred people, who can help Cao Mengde establish an intelligence agency, and can also use his name as the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty to seek benefits for Cao Cao, these two points alone are enough to negotiate with Cao Cao.
As long as you can use Cao Cao to gain a firm foothold in this troubled era, let yourself not go into exile forever, and then revive the prestige of the Han royal family and develop slowly, you will always be able to find the name of orthodoxy and convince the people of the world.
Liu Wei sighed.
In fact, embarking on this road is not the courage to move forward, nor is it ambitious.
It's just that he has tried to escape, and the result of the escape makes him unacceptable, so since God has given him another chance, he is forcing himself to move forward.
He has no way to retreat, he has no way out, or the same sentence, since he was born in the emperor's family, he can only take the road of the king of God.
Cao Cao probably couldn't have imagined that Liu Wei in Yuan Shao's hands would be able to run out after Qingzhou was recovered by Liu Bei, and he was still coming towards him.
He didn't expect that this Liu Wei had already suffered a lot from Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, accumulated experience, and practiced a lot before coming to him, and he also came with Wang Yue, a royalist.
This isn't a big surprise, it's just a tricky sign.
And more importantly, in his hands, there is also Empress Dowager He, and Empress Dowager He has been here for a long time, and what should have happened has happened, and now the arrival of Liu Wei will bring to Cao Cao's forces because of this complex relationship, it is still unknown.
It's just that when Liu Wei and their convoy entered Cao Cao's sphere of influence, there was already a spy report.
At this time, Cao Cao was still worried about Xuzhou's affairs.
"Zhongde, you said that this Tao Gongzu obviously has no way out, why still doesn't he agree to our conditions?"
Cao Cao walked around the hall, unable to figure out why Tao Qian was still grinding after talking with Tao Qian for so long, and changing the conditions for negotiation between the two sides, I really don't know if he had the sincerity to talk.
"From the perspective of the situation, if Tao Gongzu does not cooperate with us, I heard that he is in poor physical condition now, and he has been recuperating in the house after feeling the cold, it seems that it is a serious illness that is difficult to recover, his age, basically can't last a few years, then in a few years, his family will definitely have trouble again, and then his two sons will not be able to hold up the field at all, if they cooperate with others, they may not be like us to give face."
Cheng Yu was sitting, he was tall, and sitting said that he would not put Cao Cao under pressure on his height.
"If there is any reason to make Tao Gongzu hesitate, it should be that someone like us has investigated his situation and is in contact with him?"
Cheng Yu took a sip of water, thinking about the other princes who might have come into contact with Tao Qian.
"Liu Xuande? No, he doesn't need to contact Tao Gongzu, and he just went down to Qingzhou and then Xuzhou, the front is too long, and the foundation is unstable. ”
Cao Cao felt that Cheng Yu's judgment was reasonable, and the first opponent he thought of was Liu Bei, but he quickly denied Liu Bei's possibility.
"Lu Fengxian is in Chang'an, his hands are not so long, and it is not good for him to take Xuzhou at all."
"Sun Wentai's words, he is confronting Huang Zu recently, and it seems that he is about to fight, although he may want Xuzhou as a basis, but he can give Tao Gongzu less."
Cao Cao shook his head, saying this, there is only one person left who is most likely.
"That's Yuan Highway, this guy has a very clear goal."
Cao Cao sat on the other side of Cheng Yu and smiled helplessly.
"Indeed, if Yuan Highway can take Xuzhou, then he will trap us, we will either fight with Liu Xuande, or we can only fight with Yuan Highway, Liu Xuande is impossible, then it can only be him. Moreover, with such a situation of being attacked by the enemy, we are in the land of four battles, and we have no advantage of defending the city at all, as long as Yuan Highway fights steadily and encroaches step by step, then our chances of victory are very small. At that time, even if Yuan Highway has three states, he will suddenly become a great prince who can compete with Liu Xuande. ”
Cheng Yu added Cao Cao's thoughts, and his analysis and judgment of Yuan Shu's situation were very accurate and in place.
"It's just that Tao Gongzu hasn't fully expressed his position now, which means that the conditions on the Yuan Highway are worse than ours, if there is any guarantee or name for Tao Gongzu to fully believe in us at this time."
can't just explain the problem, Cheng Yu also has to find a way, there are many possibilities for the guarantee and name he proposed, but I don't know which one Cao Cao can come up with.
Suddenly, someone outside the hall handed a document to Cao Cao, saying that it was an urgent report.
Cao Cao didn't shy away from Cheng Yu, opened the paperwork in front of him, looked at it for a while, his face changed a little, Cheng Yu didn't know whether Cao Cao was excited, embarrassed, or surprised.
Anyway, it seems that Cao Cao's emotions are quite complicated now.
After reading the paperwork, Cao Cao grabbed the paperwork between his fingers, raised it, and handed it to Cheng Yu with a subtle expression.
"The name is here."
