Li Su knew: In history, Wang Yun seemed to be finished after Dong Zhuo's death after only two months of life.

Ten days have passed now, and if history is accurate enough and the butterfly effect is not strong enough, then there are still fifty days.

Therefore, Li Su is still relatively sure of the follow-up rhythm.

After a few days of working in Beijing, and then returning to Nanzheng, it was delayed for ten days. Expressing his merits and writing chapters and preparing to go to Beijing to see the tribute, such as a little local product for Ailaoyi, proves that Liu Bei "did conquer the southwest Yi for the Han Dynasty", isn't it another ten days that have passed?

Li Su hoped that if he got the edict of the canonization of the king of Hanzhong in 20 days, he could get it in 20 days, and he hoped that he would get it in 30 days. It can be combined with the progress of the military rebellion in the east, and even after hearing the news of Li Dao Guo Yan's army, Li Sucai brought the jade seal to exchange the canonization edict in person.

Wang Yun would never doubt it, because when Wang Yun first heard the news of Li Dao Guo Yan's army, he didn't think that those ants could make waves, and he also thought that Lu Bu and them could easily get rid of it.

So even if Wang Yun arrives on the day of the "Jade Seal Change", he will not doubt that he will not live long.

And as long as Li Su succeeds, he can walk slowly on his return trip, and go back and forth for a month, and when Liu Bei's "resignation" book has not been sent back to Chang'an, Chang'an has been broken and Wang Yun has also been killed, so he will still be a fart.

It's not that Liu Bei doesn't want to be modest and doesn't want to resign, it's that the audience who listened to his modesty was killed! You can't blame Liu Bei for being immodest, right?

Of course, none of this is foolproof.

With Li Su's cautious personality of liking to make a back-hand filing plan, he must also think about how to deal with this situation if "Wang Yun in this life is hanging, or the strength of the rebel army is weakened due to the butterfly effect in advance, causing Li Dao Guo Yan to fail to kill Wang Yun".

But after thinking about it, I don't think it's a big deal - if it is really bad luck, it will be bad that Liu Bei's resignation will be delivered to Wang Yun alive, and then Liu Bei will be obediently renamed the king of Shu.

Anyway, compared to other princes at this moment, it is already very good to be a king of Shu and govern the territory of the entire Yizhou Mu, and it will only be the end of 192 by then, what are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian still doing? Take your time and don't rush.

If Wang Yun really stood firm in the imperial court, Li Su didn't believe that Eryuan Ken, who had already tasted the sweetness, obediently put down his army and returned to the little emperor. At best, only Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who are now only a few counties, are willing to return to the imperial court.

In that case, as long as Liu Bei maintains a good relationship with Wang Yun, gives an offering to the court, and does not give the other party an excuse to tear his face, the next wave of thieves will be Eryuan. The price Liu Bei has to pay is only to endure for a few years from now on, not to expand his territory in a hurry, to respect the officialdom logic of the imperial court, and endure until the imperial court lets him deal with Er Yuan.

Of course, it makes no sense to deduce these small probability events too far, anyway, Li Su knows that he has a backup plan, and he is not afraid that history will be destroyed, so he can adapt to the situation.

……

After negotiating with Wang Yun, Li Su made preparations in two hands, the first was to send a messenger back on the Bao ramp and go to Nanzheng to talk to Liu Bei.

The topic of sealing the king will not be talked about for the time being, because there is no one in the mouth, it is too sensitive, so the messenger only needs to tell Liu Bei that "Li Zhonglang is mediating the reward for everyone".

In addition, it is to ask Liu Bei not to continue to increase troops and transfer troops to the front line, and militarily turn to a harmless posture of people and animals, so as not to be suspected by the imperial court.

All in all, Li Su's words to the messenger belong to the decent words of "everything must be said to people", even if the messenger is caught, he will not leave a handle.

At the same time as sending the messenger, Li Su himself, according to Wang Yun's arrangement, went to drink and discuss with Sun Rui, the chief farmer, and Ma Riyan, the chief lieutenant, on the first day, and do their work.

These two people are not the highest-ranking officials in the court, but they are also complicit contributors to the killing of Dong, but after the matter was completed, they were gradually marginalized by Wang Yun and did not gain the highest power. Most of the things are Wang Yun's words, and sometimes it is symbolically discussed to give some face.

But no matter what, the process still has to go, this is also the face of the court, such a major event as the king must be "the secretary of state agrees, and then plays His Majesty".

The process of socializing at the banquet and analyzing the persuasion of interests naturally does not need to be repeated, because most of the lines are similar to when Li Suwang Yun bargained, but with a little embellishment.

After a day's drinking, the secret discussion was basically passed, and in the end, it was only Sun Rui, the great farmer, who questioned: "The four great achievements of the general of Zhengxi, and he is willing to hand over the jade seal and respect the court, and the king is indeed worthy of it." But being alone will inevitably make the world suspicious, and it will also trap General Zhengxi in injustice. Since it is to be sealed, all the clansmen who have made great contributions to the country should be rewarded! ”

Taiwei Ma Riyan didn't react for a while, and asked his old partner: "Who else in the world has such a great achievement?" Is it a trivial matter for the clan to be crowned king because of merit? Could it be that even Liu Biao and other people who are in vain names are worthy of ...... Wrong! Could it be that you're talking about ...... Jihou Bo'angong? ”

As Ma Riyan spoke, he remembered one person, and everyone, including Wang Yun, was not surprised when they heard this name.

Li Su was also slightly shocked in his heart, and sighed that Liu Yu's popularity was indeed worthy of the level of "elephant in the room", everyone took it for granted, and as long as no one mentioned it, it seemed that everyone had forgotten about this existence.

A digression must be said here, in addition to the two merits of "entering Beijing to kill Dong and protecting Luoyang", the current Youzhou Mu Liu Yu cannot be compared with Liu Bei, but in other aspects of "pacifying the border and rebelling against thieves and expanding the territory for the Han Dynasty", Liu Yu has done even better than Liu Bei.

Don't look at Liu Bei's subduing of the three barbarian counties in Nanzhong that have not been under the control of the imperial court for 20 years (counting Yue Wei in advance), and even bragged in advance that he won the battle against the foreign Ailao State. But that victory, the land opened up was only half of Yunnan Province in later generations, and the reabsorbed ruling population was more than one million.

And Liu Yu completely subdued Wuhuan, who had always been a great disaster for the imperial court, and Xianbei also ran away - Gongsun Chan is still nominally Liu Yan's subordinate now, according to the statistical caliber that the military general's exploits are attributed to the leader and the state pastor, Gongsun Zhan's military exploits in killing Xianbei are of course Liu Yu's.

Not only Gongsun Zhan's military exploits, but also Youzhou Mu also includes Liaodong. Therefore, in this life, Liu Bei stayed in Liaodong Fuzi Mizhu and those butterfly effect of the extra contribution to the expansion of the territory, Tuntian encroached on the land of the Buyeo people, opened up to the land of Silla and Samhan, and even the canonized "Tamna Taishou Gongsun Du" opened up Jeju Island, which is also counted as Liu Yu's political achievements as a Youzhou pastor.

This is all due to the fact that in the past two years, when Guanzhong was brutalized by Dong Zhuo and the princes of the southeast and south of the Guandong were fighting with each other, Liu Yu retreated quietly in the northern Xinjiang.

As for the bloodline and qualifications, Liu Yu's bloodline is much more noble than Liu Bei after all, this has been said several times, so there is no need to repeat it. In terms of qualifications, Liu Yu has been a pastor in Youzhou for five years, and before that, he has nearly 20 years of qualifications as the Jiuqing of the Imperial Court and the history of assassination. No matter how you look at it, it is much more senior than Liu Bei, a guy who has been in the army for nine years and has only been six years since the county order.

This reason, Shi Sunrui and Ma Riyan made a combination of punches and explained it clearly to Li Su, but Li Su was also speechless and couldn't refute it at all. is coming, Ma Riyan also added:

"Li Zhonglang, I remember that you were originally blessed because of the prosperity of the palace, for the Marquis of Ji to be promoted to Maocai, ranked in the Thousand Stones, and then had all kinds of meritorious deeds, and General Zhengxi was also instructed by the Marquis of Ji to be promoted to filial piety and honesty. You and General Zhengxi are both righteous people, since you want to crown General Zhengxi as king, you will never object to the benefactor who has also made great contributions to also be crowned king, right? ”

The last sentence can never be answered, Liu Yu asked Han Zhuo, the then Taishou of Zhuo County, to raise Liu Bei Xiaolian, and Liu Yu personally raised Li Sumaocai, which is a lifelong kindness.

When Li Su heard this, he looked at Wang Yun next to him and posed as "humbly listening", it seemed that he didn't think of this at first, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Wang Yun was selling.

This guy told Shi Sunrui and Ma Riyan in advance! Now let's pretend to let the two of them play white faces, to put it bluntly, I hope to seal two at a time because of the merit, dilute the abruptness of sealing Liu Bei alone, and block the world's leisurely mouths.

Moreover, Liu Bei was only thirty-three years old, and he was crowned king at such a young age, and Wang Yun was also worried that he was ambitious. And Liu Yu is already in his fifties and almost sixty, a generation older than Liu Bei. Liu Yu's son, Liu He, was originally a hostage in the court, and when the emperor sent him to Kwantung last year to contact King Qin, he was detained after passing by Yuan Shu's territory and has been in Yuan Shu's hands. Therefore, Liu Yu did not have his own son by his side, and he would definitely not dare to disagree.

Liu Bei and Liu Yu are one in the southwest and the other in the northeast, which happens to be two opposite corners of the Han Dynasty, which are too far away, and they are not afraid that Liu Bei will be used by Liu Yu. Therefore, sealing two diagonal kings at one time just restrained each other, so that no one dared to peep at the center.

Wang Yun was so calculating, in just one day, he came up with a counterbalance to reduce the damage of Li Suqiu's seal.

Li Su also calmly agreed: "The Marquis of Ji has the grace of reinvention to General Zhengxi and me, of course, we support the Marquis of Ji and the king because of his merits." But this is all a matter for the imperial court, it doesn't matter if we support it or not, it's not my turn to speak. ”

When he said this, it can be regarded as accepting Wang Yun's beating on behalf of Liu Bei: I know that you are checking and balancing me, and I am happy to accept this check and balance, so don't be suspicious.

Wang Yun took the opportunity to discuss with Shi Sun Rui and Ma Riyan: "In this case, how about suggesting that Your Majesty make the Marquis of Ji the King of Yan?" ”

Shi Sun Rui thought for a while: "Will King Yan be misunderstood...... Thought that the imperial court wanted to restore the old system of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao and other kings in the early Han Dynasty, and the authority was too great?

Just discussed that General Zhengxi would eventually become the king of Shu, but Shu County is a ready-made county name after all, and it can be regarded as the king of Shu County rather than the king of Yizhou. In my opinion, the Marquis of Ji might as well be crowned as the acting king according to this example, and the west of the upper valley, the two Han Dynasty and four hundred years have been called Daijun, which is ready-made. ”

But Ma Riyan immediately objected: "Jun Rong! Since you oppose General Zhengxi as the king of Hanzhong, how can you suggest that the Marquis of Ji be crowned the king! The king of Hanzhong is sensitive, isn't the king sensitive?

One is the land of Longxing before Gaozu destroyed Chu, and the other is the king name before Emperor Wen succeeded to the Great Unification, both of which should be avoided! If you want me to say, it is better to rename Guangyang County as Yan Country or Yan County, and then crown Jihou as the King of Yan! ”

Shisun Rui immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, the sensitivity of the acting king was not bad in the Han Dynasty, and the acting king Liu Heng was the later Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

He hurriedly changed his words: "It's me who lost my word, so let's reset the Yan Kingdom and be named the King of Yan." ”

During the time of Gaozu and Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, they both set up the Yan Kingdom and also sealed the King of Yan. But since the rise of Guangwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because Guangwu started in Hebei, the Yan Kingdom was changed to Guangyang County, and there has been no Yan Kingdom for one hundred and fifty years.

After negotiating the law of dividing the spoils, they each prepared documents and adjusted the administrative divisions, so that they could seal two kings at one time.

All this is not considered to be open to Liu Yu, because on the original historical trajectory, after Emperor Han Xian killed Dong, he immediately sealed Liu Yu "Governor Qing Ji You and Xu Yan Six Prefectures Military", nominally the six states northeast of the Great Han Pass are under Liu Yu's control, and now it is just a false name of King Yan.
