Chapter 461: Liu Xie's Awkward Position
Liu Yu finally became emperor, and this news swept through the entire Han world like a super typhoon. Liu Yu even used the channel of the "dark department" to constantly spread the news of his ascension to the throne to every corner of the Han Dynasty.
The people of the world can not know Liu Xie, the son of heaven in Xuchang, but they can't not know Liu Yu, who has just ascended the throne.
Liu Yu was called the emperor, and the most embarrassing thing was Liu Xie.
First of all, the choice of heirs of the ancients followed the rules of establishing a successor and establishing a virtuous person, Liu Xie was not the eldest son, Liu Yu was the eldest son recognized by the world. Similarly, Liu Xie is not a son-in-law, Liu Wei is, but unfortunately he died early. If you want to talk about virtue, it seems that you can't talk about it. When Liu Xie ran away from his brother Liu Yu, who was willing to assist him, the name of virtue was discounted. Moreover, Liu Xie was pulled to the throne by Dong Zhuo, a traitor with chaotic politics, so in the hearts of many people, his succession to the throne is a bit unjustifiable. Of course, when Liu Yu got the Son of Heaven, someone proposed to abolish Liu Xie and let Liu Yu ascend the throne. However, Liu Yu was worried that his strength was not enough to calm the world, so he maintained the status quo for the time being.
That is, Cao Cao, a courtier who wants to serve the Son of Heaven and order not to be subordinate, will treat Liu Xie as a treasure.
The most important link is that as a token of the emperor - the jade seal of the country, but it is in the hands of Liu Yu, who has just ascended the throne and called the emperor, which makes the world look at it.
is also the son of Emperor Xiaoling Daxing, and now they are both sons of heaven. There are no two days and no two people, and one of the two must be pulled down. But the current situation is very unfavorable to Liu Xie, and most people are not very optimistic about him. Even some ministers in the Xuchang court were considering whether to continue to be by Liu Xie's side. After all, Emperor Shenwu is a strong soldier, and the court and China are very united, no matter how you look at it, it is much better than Liu Xie's here.
In order to distinguish the emperor titles of the two brothers, Liu Yu and Liu Xie, the world uses the era name as a distinction. Liu Yu was known as Emperor Shenwu, while Liu Xie was known as Emperor Jian'an.
Although Liu Xie is young, he is very politically sensitive, and Liu Xie is still aware of the changes in the ministers. For this signal, Liu Xie hurriedly found Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, and Liu Bei, whom Liu Xie attached great importance to.
Dong Cheng and Fu Wan immediately rushed to the palace, but Liu Bei did not come. How could Liu Bei come, at this critical moment, Liu Bei's first choice was to keep a low profile. Although Liu Bei was loyal to the Han family, he was not loyal to Liu Xie, and he had his own ideas about the definition of the Han family. If you enter the palace this time, isn't it equivalent to telling others that he, Liu Bei, is from Liu Xie's side. According to Liu Bei's black-bellied character, it is impossible to do this. Therefore, Liu Yu directly closed the door to thank the guests and directly turned away Liu Xie's envoy.
Liu Xie saw that Liu Bei did not come, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart.
But now it's not Liu Xie thinking about other things, the key is how to deal with Liu Yu's accession to the throne.
"The two princes, now Liu Yu is on the throne and is the emperor. The princes of the world are quite unusual, and even the ministers of the court and the central government are also moved, how should I be? Liu Xie asked heavily.
Regarding this problem, Dong Chenghe Fu Wan was also helpless. When they first received rumors of various auspicious deeds in Liu Yu's territory, they guessed that Liu Yu might be on the throne. The two of them have looked for Cao Cao many times, hoping that Cao Cao will send troops to attack Liu Yu and stop all this. But Cao Cao didn't know what medicine he took, so he didn't agree. It's so bad now.
Dong Chenghe secretly hated that he didn't have a single soldier in his hands, otherwise he wouldn't be so controlled by others. Now Liu Xie asked the two of them if there was any way to solve it, and they really didn't.
"Your Majesty, Liu Yu's traitor disregards the righteousness of the world and insists on stealing the throne, and there is absolutely no good end." Dong Cheng cursed Liu Yu. If the curse could kill Liu Yu, Liu Yu didn't know how many times he had died.
"That's right, Your Majesty. Liu Yu's traitor is perverse, and he will definitely not die well. The ministers will definitely follow His Majesty left and right to eradicate Liu Yu's traitors! Restore the big man Lang Lang Fu Wan said impassionedly.
The two of them were loyal, but there was no practical countermeasure, although Liu Xie was dissatisfied in his heart, he could rely on these two people now, so he said with a smile: "I am clear about the loyalty of the two princes. Right now, Liu Yu may attack at any time, and I don't want to sit still. ”
Liu Xie's meaning was very clear, Dong Chenghe had to use his brains.
With such a little intelligence, the intrigue is quite passable, but when they encounter real problems, they are helpless.
"The old minister is incompetent!" After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't think of any way.
Such a sentence made Liu Xie very disappointed in Fu Wan, and then Liu Xie looked at Dong Cheng with a look of hope.
Dong Cheng's head moved to the extreme, and finally said: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu is very unfavorable to Your Majesty. But whether His Majesty ignores this matter is also very disadvantageous to the Prime Minister. ”
Dong Cheng is right, Cao Cao has Liu Xie, the emperor of Jian'an, then Liu Yu will inevitably wave his troops to attack him, and Cao Cao should have a way.
That being said, but Dong Cheng has always been right with Cao Cheng, and now that he is in danger, he thinks of Cao Cao again, and I have to say that Dong Cheng is really incompetent.
Liu Xie didn't want to find Cao Cao, but the two people in front of him couldn't be relied on at all, and in the end he had to find Cao Cao to solve the problem.
"I know. Go down first. Liu Xie said helplessly.
Dong Chenghe Fu Wan left the palace with a sigh of relief.
After leaving the palace, Fu Wan suddenly stopped Dong Cheng and said, "Lord Dong, why don't you talk about it at the old man's mansion, we haven't talked about life for a long time." ”
Dong Cheng smiled slightly, although he and Fu Wan had broken up, but now was not the time to continue hostility, nodded and said: "Lord Fu has an invitation, how can this official refuse." ”
The two of them got into their respective carriages and headed for the Fu Wan mansion.
And all this was clearly known by Cao Cao, but he arranged a large number of spies in the entire Xuchang, and he couldn't hide anything from his eyes.
Liu Yu was called the emperor, Cao Cao understood what he was going to face, and Liu Yu would not easily let Liu Xie continue to be the emperor. Then he, the prime minister with great power, will bear the brunt.
In fact, Cao Cao admired Liu Yu very much, but he also thought that he was no worse than others, and he had already decided to fight Liu Yu in his heart. No matter what the result is, whether the Han or the Liu family is in the world, Cao Cao is even more indifferent.
At this time, the people sent by Liu Xie came to summon Cao Cao into the palace, and Cao Cao cleaned up and took Xu Du to the palace.
Cao Cao sighed in his heart: Liu Xie, you still can't compare to your brother.
