Chapter 184: Liu Yan Becomes Emperor

Liu Yan also thought about the crisis he might encounter after becoming emperor, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart.

And he is indeed too old, and it is estimated that there is not much time left. It's worth it to experience the feeling of the emperor for the last time before I die, so who cares about him after I die?

So despite the opposition and dissuasion of many people, he still made the same stupid decision as Yuan Shu in history and became emperor!

Soon, the news of Liu Yan's self-proclaimed emperor also spread all over the world.

A big man actually appeared two sons of heaven at the same time! Almost everyone understands that the Great Han has died in name only.

The appearance of this ridiculous thing caused the minds of countless well-intentioned people to come alive in an instant, and they also began to secretly plot to call the king and the emperor and other things.

Just when the two forces of Chang'an and Yizhou accused each other of being puppet emperors and fighting war of words, the princes of the world secretly planned their own affairs. As the mastermind behind the scenes, Yuan Shu sat firmly in the Diaoyutai in Jiangdong and watched the changes in the world with a smile.

"Heaven and earth are chess games, and the common people are chess pieces. Now this chess game has been lived! Looking at the information sent by Guo Jia, Yuan Shu muttered.

Although the world is in turmoil, as long as the Han family does not die, Yuan Shu will not let go of the jealousy and worry in his heart. Only by completely pulling down the Han family can Yuan Shu feel at ease.

Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, and the jade seal was sent to Gongsun Zhan by Li Ru, and now even the Son of Heaven has been assassinated by Yuan Shu.

The three orthodox symbols of the Han Dynasty no longer exist, and the remaining remnants only need to be smoothed out by time.

Ten years, ten years at most. Even if the current status is maintained, ten years later, the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty will no longer exist, and it will be replaced by a situation similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Before that, what Yuan Shu had to do was to become a force like Qiang Qin, and finally sweep the princes and dominate the world.

"Fengxiao, does Liu Biao agree?"

Guo Jia nodded: "He has no choice, what else can he do but listen to us?" ”

Yuan Shu thought of Liu Biao's shrewd and slightly mean look: "I didn't expect Liu Biao to be so unbearable, I'm afraid that only one Liu Yu of the Han family can handle it." ”

Guo Jia said: "Has the lord forgotten Liu Bei?" His prestige and ability are not bad, and he will definitely be the great enemy of the lord in the future. And recently, there have been rumors in Yuzhou that have spread to Jiangdong, saying that the lord is the second Wang Mang. ”

Yuan Shu smiled coldly: "Then he Liu Bei is the second Liu Xiu?" Overestimate one's strength or oneself! Do you really think that he is the son of the plane like Liu Xiu? I'm afraid it's not him Liu Xuande who is destined for heaven. ”

Guo Jia said solemnly: "But the lord, you also have to learn from it, what you did is not much different from Wang Mang, and the reason for Wang Mang's failure must be clear to you, the lord." Liu Xiu's success is certainly destiny, but Wang Mang's failure is the desire of the people. ”

Indeed, many of Yuan Shu's policies and ideas are very similar to Wang Mang's. Guo Jia and others even thought that Yuan Shu wanted to inherit Wang Mang's thoughts.

Yuan Shu smiled: "Fengxiao, don't worry." Wang Mang's thinking is indeed too advanced, although I admire him, I will not follow his old path. The hearts of the people are not the hearts of the people, but the hearts of the scholars, and I still know this. ”

Guo Jia said solemnly: "It's good that the lord understands, Wang Mang is the hero, but he is defeated in the hearts of the people. Success and defeat are not in the hearts of the people, but in the population. Today, only scholars have the right to speak, so the hearts of men are not people's hearts, but the hearts of scholars. And the heart of the scholar is now the heart of the family. ”

Yuan Shu chuckled: "Yes! Isn't it because they represent the world and the hearts of the people that I am so tolerant and compromising with the family? ”

"However, the general trend is irreversible, I believe that the Hanmen will rise one day, and the family will eventually be pulled down from the altar and compete with the Hanmen."

Guo Jia saw Yuan Shu's confident appearance and smiled: "Jia also believes that this day will eventually come." Maybe in the hands of the lord, Jia will see all this. ”

"Naturally, those who disturb the world are my Yuan family, and those who are safe in the world are naturally my Yuan Shu. If it weren't for the sake of the family, why would I have to stoop to the southeast and conquer the world. ”

The beginning of everything originated from the family, and it was the Kanto family headed by the Yuan family. From Dong Zhuo's rebellion to the present, there is a family behind everything. Yuan Shu's assassination of Liu Xie can be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of the family.

With the eyes and ears of the family all over the world, it is easy to detect that the person behind this matter is Yuan Shu. It's just that there is no evidence, and there is no need to get along with Yuan Shu, so they didn't jump out, and even helped by the way.

Yuan Shu never thought that he could hide it from the world, as long as he didn't leave evidence. At such times, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, all accusations can only be called framing.

So Yuan Shu is not in a hurry at all now, and he doesn't dare to be in a hurry. Even if Liu Yan was proclaimed emperor, Yuan Shu did not dare to show his head, so as not to cause attacks from the surrounding princes.

After all, anyone who is benefiting from this whole thing can be known by anyone who uses their brains. Yuan Shu now just needs to be an invisible person silently observing everyone's actions behind his back, and it is estimated that many people will want to unite to destroy him, the first prince in the world.

"Fengxiao, Liu Yan has already been proclaimed emperor, who do you say will be the emperor next?"

Guo Jiadao: "It doesn't matter who it is, what we should pay attention to most now is Gongsun Zhan." The heirloom jade seal is in his hands, and he is still a reckless person. Now that Liu Yu has left Youzhou, no one is under control, maybe this person can bring us a lot of surprises. ”

Yuan Shu also remembered the irascible and straightforward man, and frowned: "Gongsun Zhan, no matter how stupid he is, he won't dare to call him the king and the emperor!" You must know that Liu Yu's last sentence is very clear! Isn't he afraid of the Youzhou Shizi riot? ”

Guo Jia said confidently: "Gongsun Chan will never care about this, nor will he care whether he is the king or the emperor. He is just a simple fierce general, and he is not good at politics at all, so I am afraid that he does not understand what he will face after claiming the title of king and emperor. ”

Moreover, it is precisely because of Liu Yu's original words that Gongsun Chan is more likely to surprise us. You must know that the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu is incompatible! ”

Yuan Shu heard this, and nodded in disbelief: "Hope!" If Gongsun Chan can really do what you said, then we don't need to go through any more trouble to make a secret move! ”

Yuan Shu said a little helplessly: "It's a pity that we don't have many manpower in Youzhou, otherwise it's good to agitate a little, and now we can only depend on luck." ”

Guo Jia said: "Don't worry, with Gongsun Zhan's strong character, he will definitely not dare to be the king as Liu Yu thinks." ”

"What else have Cao Cao and Liu Bei done recently? How do these two seem to be together now? ”

Due to various reasons, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, who were supposed to be-for-tat, stood on the same side strangely. And because of the union of these two people, the entire Central Plains showed a united situation, which made Yuan Shu have a headache.

It seems that he really took a bit of a big step, and even caused the fear of the entire Central Plains. If these four forces really maintained this state of equilibrium, Yuan Shu would really be unable to move. In that case, I am afraid that this arrangement and hard work will have to be in vain.

Now that the situation in Yizhou is turbulent, it is a good time for Yuan Shu to enter the army. But it was because of the fierce eyes of the princes of the Central Plains that Yuan Shu did not dare to start.

Guo Jia saw Yuan Shu's worries and comforted: "Don't worry, the momentum of the Central Plains alliance is just an appearance, as long as the balance is slightly broken, the Central Plains will immediately fall into chaos." After all, regarding the issue of Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Cao Cao will never reach an agreement. Moreover, it seems that there is still a hungry wolf that has been eyeing the Central Plains! ”
