Liu Yu's move was also helpless. He knew that Liu Yan was likely to be angry and proclaim himself emperor after learning the news. Regardless of whether he pushes the Son of Heaven or not, the authority of the Han family will be hit again.

Rather than this, it is better to start in advance to take the initiative so that things do not go to the worst step.

He understood that even if he launched the Son of Heaven on his side, he would not be recognized. And once Liu Yan's brain is hot, it is estimated that the world will once again have the kind of troubled times of the Warring States Period.

Liu Yu couldn't stop all this, he could only put forward the final bottom line.

Non-descendants of the Han family cannot be kings!

Even if it is as a puppet, you have to ensure that the emperors on the surface are all descendants of the Han family, and put the last fig leaf on the Han family.

Of course, this is just Liu Yu's wishful thinking, the situation of all the kings and Dingtian is about to appear, will the real world of great controversy be far away?

Three days later, Chang'an City announced to the world that Liu Cheng was called the new Son of Heaven and officially ascended the throne as emperor.

When Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who were far away in the Central Plains, learned of the news, they immediately congratulated them, showing their recognition of the Son of Heaven.

Needless to say, Liu Bei and Cao Cao's thoughts were to prevent Yuan Shu. And Tao Qian is because of his advanced age, coupled with the fact that his two sons are not angry, and he wants to entrust Xuzhou to others, so as to sell Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

What about Kong Rong? As the nineteenth grandson of Confucius, he naturally has no ambitions, and expresses support for Liu Cheng to become the Son of Heaven, simply following the crowd. Three of the four princes of the entire Central Plains supported it, and it would be inappropriate if they didn't support it.

In Yizhou, Liu Yan learned that the new Son of Heaven had been established, and he had not received any benefits, so he was unhappy. Suddenly news came from Chang'an City that his two sons in Chang'an were dead and disabled.

Liu Yan was stunned at the time, and after reacting, he stabbed to death with a sword in a rage, and immediately decided to establish himself as the Son of Heaven.

"My lord! No! The death of the two sons is very strange, it must have been done by someone with a heart, in order to force the lord to be the emperor and disturb the world! If you really insist on being the emperor, I am afraid that it will not only destroy the residual prestige of the Han Dynasty, but also your own people's hearts! ”

There are still many knowledgeable strategists under Liu Yan's command, and they immediately found out that something was wrong, and there should be another hidden reason in this matter, that someone wanted to induce Liu Yan to become emperor.

Originally, Liu Yan had the heart to be the emperor, and he didn't dare to be the emperor at this juncture.

In history, Liu Yan wanted to be the emperor, and Li Yu and Guo Yan also killed his two sons, but Liu Yan died of illness under fear.

At that time, because Liu Xie was not dead, no one dared to claim the title of emperor without authorization. After all, the orthodoxy of the Han family is recognized by everyone in the world, and Liu Xie is the undoubted Son of Heaven. If Liu Yan is proclaimed emperor, not to mention that Liu Biao will attack him, it is estimated that his ministers will rebel.

But now it's different, Liu Xie is dead. To put it mildly, in this situation, as long as your surname is Liu, you are qualified to spy on the position of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Yan said that the emperor was at most too ambitious and resentful, rather than a rebellious move similar to the previous one.

And what happened to the second son this time just gave Liu Yan the best excuse. Didn't King Wu of Zhou destroy Shang through this reason?

Liu Yan thought of this while grieving after receiving the tragic ending of his second son, this is a good time!

For Liu Yan, the position of the Son of Heaven is far more important than his son. After all, he has already had a son dead, but now he has a son, as long as Liu Zhang is still alive.

Liu Yan, who wanted to be emperor again, heard the persuasion of his courtiers, and immediately said angrily: "Nonsense! Liu Cheng is just a yellow-mouthed child, and he actually used despicable means to seize the position of the Son of Heaven, and secretly murdered my two sons. The hatred of killing the son is not shared, and I, Liu Yan, will definitely not stand with him, and I will never recognize his position as the Son of Heaven! ”

Seeing Liu Yan's appearance, some of the loyal advisors below were also anxious: "No! Lord! For the sake of the reputation of the Han family, you can't be the emperor no matter what! ”

One of the ugly-looking strategists stood up: "If the lord really doesn't want to admit Liu Cheng's identity, and has to stand on his own, what if he is called the king instead of the emperor?" ”

Such an ugly-looking strategist from Yizhou, who is not Zhang Song?

Today's Zhang Song is young and vigorous, but he has Liu Yan, the unenterprising lord, and the place of Yizhou is already steep and difficult to enter and exit. There is more than enough to protect yourself, but it is too difficult to conquer the world.

How can this make the arrogant Zhang Song accept? His own skills can't be wasted because of such a lord, so Zhang Song often shows himself in front of Liu Zhang and puts forward some excellent suggestions.

However, because this product does look a little sorry, and Liu Yan is not the kind of person who is eager to seek talent, Liu Yan's attitude towards Zhang Song has always been tepid.

Although he could still listen to Zhang Song's words in normal times, he didn't take Zhang Song seriously. And this time, he didn't even bother to listen to Zhang Song's words.

"What do you say? Let me be king? Isn't that one level lower than Liu Cheng's child? Needless to say, I will be the emperor this time! ”

Liu Yan is now iron-hearted. He is now in his forties, and his mentality is the same as when Yuan Shu was called emperor in history, he feels that his time is short, and he wants to live the emperor's addiction before he dies.

In his opinion, with the dangerous terrain of Yizhou, he can sit back and relax as long as he holds two checkpoints, and even if he is the emperor, the risk is not great.

Therefore, he knew that he might have been calculated this time, but Liu Yan still chose to be the emperor without hesitation.

Zhang Song looked at Liu Yan's resolute and ruthless expression, sighed softly, and a lingering thought flashed in his heart: Liu Yan can't succeed, he shouldn't be helped!

Then I remembered the person who found me a few days ago, and my heart moved: Maybe I should choose someone else!

A good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and a person who hangs himself from a tree is certainly loyal, but it is also stupid to a certain extent.

A talented lord like Liu Yan, who doesn't know right from wrong and neglects Zhang Song, Zhang Song can have a sense of belonging and loyalty to him.

Now there are many strategists like Zhang Song who have other thoughts because they are discouraged. After all, Liu Yan is indeed too incompetent, since he became the lord of Yizhou, not to mention that he has made no contributions, and because of his romantic debts, he has even lost Hanzhong.

If it weren't for the fact that this product is a relative of the Han family, it is estimated that Liu Yan would have let people get it a long time ago.

Such a dog who lacks virtue to guard the household, how can a truly talented and capable person not have other thoughts?
