Chapter 386: Bad News Comes
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
The Liu clan went to ask Liu Xuan for an explanation for the killing of Liu Xuan and Liu Ji, but when they arrived at the palace, they didn't get any explanation.
The only thing that can be gratifying is that under the protection of the Liu clan's relatives, Liu Xuan's family finally escaped and could not be implicated by Liu Xuan.
After Liu Liang and the others left, Wang Kuang looked at Liu Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Xuan's family can not be killed, but there is one person who must die!" β
Liu Xuan's heart was shocked, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Who is the person Dingguo Gong said?" β
"Liu Xiu!" Now that Liu Xiu has been killed, Wang Kuang and the people of the Green Forest Department have been killed, it is impossible to leave Liu Xiu as a bane.
Liu Xiu's personal ability is definitely far above Liu Xiu, he is much smarter than Liu Xiu, and the city government is much deeper, if Liu Xiu is left, they will suffer sooner or later in the future.
"This ......" Liu Xuan wiped the sweat on his forehead, and was speechless for a long time.
Kill Liu Xiu, he can also charge Liu Xiu with plotting to rebel, but if he wants to kill Liu Xiu, what crime do you have to give him?
Liu Xiu is a very low-key person on weekdays, and he is polite and courteous, so that people can't catch the slightest handle. Even if Liu Xuan wanted to get rid of Liu Xiu, he couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while.
He coughed dryly and asked cautiously, "Dingguo Gong, I ...... On what charges should I execute Liu Xiu? β
Wang Kuang smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you still need to be charged?" β
"Huh?"
"The king lets the minister die, can the minister not die?" Wang Kuang raised his eyebrows and asked with a sneer.
Seeing Liu Xuan wiping cold sweat vigorously, Wang Kuang said slowly: "Kill Liu Xiu, it's like killing Liu Xiu, kill it first!" As long as a person is dead, no matter how much others investigate it, they can't help Your Majesty! β
Compared with Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu can only be regarded as a small person, and even such an important figure as Liu Xiu has been forcibly killed by them, not to mention Liu Xiu? In short, the people are dealt with first, and as for the follow-up problems, everything is easy to deal with. Seeing that Liu Xuan was still hesitating, Wang Kuang said coldly: "Liu Xiu and Liu Xuan have always had a deep brotherhood, and now that Your Majesty has killed Liu Xuan, can Liu Xiu not hold a grudge against Your Majesty?" As long as Liu Xiu is alive, he will have the fire of revenge in his heart, to His Majesty
, always a great threat! Wang Kuang's words moved Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan thought about it carefully, nodded secretly, and felt that what Wang Kuang said was not unreasonable. Wang Kuang continued: "Now that Liu Xiu is fighting in Runan, His Majesty can let Da Sima lead the troops of Yingchuan and go south into Runan
At the same time, he gave Liu Sheng a letter to Runan, asking him to lead the army to the north, Da Sima and Liu Sheng, from the north and south, go hand in hand, and attack Liu Xiubu in two ways, which will definitely be able to annihilate it in one fell swoop and eliminate future troubles forever! β
Liu Xuan nodded while listening, and when Wang Kuang finished speaking, he didn't think about it anymore, and immediately agreed: "This matter is in accordance with the opinion of the Duke of Dingguo!" β
Seeing that Liu Xuan agreed simply, Wang Kuang was relieved, and a smile finally appeared on his face. As long as Liu Xiu dies, there will be no good fighting talent in the Liu clan, and there will be no threat to his own green forest line in the future.
Wang Kuang said goodbye to Liu Xuan with satisfaction and left the palace. However, the green forest system headed by Wang Kuang still underestimated Liu Xuan after all. That night, Liu Xuan summoned all the Liu clansmen to the palace and had a private meeting with them.
This time, in front of the Liu clan, Liu Xuan burst into tears, and pushed all the murder of Liu Xuan on the head of the Green Forest Department, and put himself in the position of the victim. In the end, he said with a handful of snot and tears: "Big brother is loyal to me, and he has no two hearts, how can I not know?" However, the two lords, as well as Da Sima, Da Sikong and others, all want to take the life of the eldest brother, and I am the same
What? I can't stop it if I want to! Speaking of this, Liu Xuan cried loudly.
Liu Xuan knew in his heart that after Liu Xuan's death, there would be no one who could contain the Green Forest Department, and the Green Forest Department would become more and more unscrupulous in the future.
If he loses the support of the Liu clan again, then he will really become a loner, and he will have to face the pressure of the Green Forest Department alone in the future, which he can't afford at all.
Therefore, he must tightly draw the Liu clan relatives to his side, and let the clan relatives carve up the power in the hands of the Green Forest Department step by step, only in this way can he sit on the throne for a long time.
Not to mention, Liu Xuan's crying did move the Liu clan relatives present, including Liu Liangnei.
Although Liu Xuan is the Son of Heaven, he has no real power in his hands, he wants to kill Liu Xuan, and he doesn't have the strength, and this matter can only be done by the Green Forest Department.
Liu Ci said ruthlessly: "The green forest is a family, and the Liu family is too much to bully me!" Liu Xuan looked at Liu Ci with teary eyes, choked up and said: "Uncle, now that there is no eldest brother, the green forest is a lineage, and the strength is stronger, we must not have a head-on conflict with them, otherwise, I ...... I can't save anyone, I can only be like a big one
Brother, I watched my eldest brother being killed by the people of the green forest. In the end, Liu Xuan cried loudly again.
Speaking of which, Liu Xuan is really good at taking advantage of his own situation, he has no real power, and he also has the advantage of not having real power, he can push all the things he has done on the heads of those who have real power.
In this way, the bad guys are done by others, and the good guys are the only ones who do them.
Although Liu Xuan looked very pitiful at this time, with a handful of snot and tears, and his crying changed, he did not say a word about sending Zhu Kun and writing a letter to Liu Sheng, asking the two of them to lead the army to attack Liu Xiubu on both sides.
Liu Xuan's summoning of the Liu clan overnight naturally couldn't hide the eyes and ears of the Green Forest Department, but the Green Forest Department didn't take it to heart, to be exact, he didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan is dead, and the tens of thousands of troops under Liu Jiu's command are still in Luyang, and Wang Kuang is now in a hurry to receive this army and incorporate it under his command.
On the side of the first imperial court, the attack on the Xinmang imperial court was originally three arrows at once, dividing Wuguan, Hongnong, and Luoyang.
As a result, because of Liu Xuan's death, the three arrows turned into a two-way advance, Shen Tujian continued to attack Wuguan, and Wang Kuang's first department merged Liu Xuan's department and continued to advance to Luoyang.
Runan.
It was only four days after Liu Xiu was killed that the news reached Liu Xiu. This news was sent by Xu Xiling's cronies.
At this time, Liu Xiu's troops had just captured Pingyu, Ma Wu and Feng Yi also captured Liyang and Zaocheng respectively, and the war was progressing smoothly, and the Han army led by Liu Xiu was like a bamboo in Runan, and won successive battles.
At present, Liu Xiu is in peace, ready to attack, the eastern town of Runan Nuyin (later known as Ruyin, now Fuyang City).
As a result, before Liu Xiu led the army to the battle, he suddenly received a letter sent by Xu Xiling.
He unfolded the book, and only saw half of it, and his whole body was as if someone had clicked on the acupoint, and he was stunned. Seeing this, everyone present didn't understand what was going on, and they all looked at Liu Xiu in confusion.
The person who sent the letter was Xiaomei, one of Xu Xiling's personal maids. Xiaomei lowered her head, raised her eyes, looked at Liu Xiu cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Childe...... Child's Day mourning ......"
Others don't know what's going on, but Xiaomei, who came from Wancheng, naturally knows it well. The eldest brother was killed, and the blow to Liu Xiu from this incident can be imagined.
Liu Xiu, who had been motionless for a long time, slowly raised his head, and with a snap, the bamboo slip fell to the ground in his hand, he looked at Xiaomei with a straight gaze, and asked, "Is what is written above true or false?" β
Liu Xiu's tone was very calm, perhaps too calm, which made Xiaomei feel suffocated. She lowered her head, took two steps back, and then, with a pop, knelt on the ground, choked up and said, "Childe, please mourn and change!" β
Without continuing to ask, Liu Xiu looked at Xiaomei who was kneeling on the ground with a dull gaze, and he didn't know how long it took, he felt his throat and eyes be sweet, and then, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Lord-" This situation frightened everyone present to their faces, Zhu You took the first step, rushed to Liu Xiu's approach, supported his crumbling body in time, and said in horror: "Lord, who are you?" β
Liu Xiu held the table with both hands, stabilized his figure, and he lowered his head and said, "Go out!" All out! β
"My lordβ"
"I'll let you all out!" Liu Xiu's eyes were red and he looked at everyone present.
Even Zhu You, who grew up with Liu Xiu, has never seen Liu Xiu like this, let alone other people?
Everyone looked at each other and subconsciously looked at Zhu You. On weekdays, the relationship between Zhu You and Liu Xiu is the closest, and they want to know what happened to make the lord who collapsed in front of Taishan and did not change his face so gaffe.
Zhu You is also at a loss now. He glanced at everyone, and raised his chin to Xiao Mei, who was kneeling on the ground and crying.
Everyone agreed, bowed to Liu Xiu, and before exiting the camp, they pulled Xiaomei up and took her out.
When everyone withdrew from the camp, Liu Xiu couldn't help it anymore, knelt on the ground, and cried loudly.
In Liu Xiu's generation, his father died early, and his mother returned to her parents' home, leaving six brothers and sisters.
On the men's side, the eldest Liu Xuan, the second Liu Zhong, and the third Liu Xiu, and the women's side, the eldest Liu Huang, the second Liu Yuan, and the younger sister Liu Boji.
Among these brothers and sisters, Liu Xiu has the closest relationship with her eldest brother Liu Xuan and younger sister Liu Boji.
Liu Xuan is not only a big brother to him, but also like a father and a mother.
In Liu Xiu's life, no matter how big a setback he encounters, he can grit his teeth and carry it on, because in his heart, there is always a psychological pillar, and this psychological pillar is his eldest brother.
When the second sister Liu Yuan and the second brother Liu Zhong were killed one after another, Liu Xiuneng came out of his grief so quickly and threw himself into the next battle, and this is the reason. For him, no matter how dark and terrible the road ahead is, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, as long as there is a big brother, he is not afraid of anything, as long as there is a big brother, it seems that there will always be a closest person in front of him, pointing him out
Bright direction.
But when the eldest brother was suddenly gone, Liu Xiu's psychological pillar collapsed instantly, and he never thought that he would lose his eldest brother one day. Now, he doesn't even understand who he's fighting for and why.
Scenes from the past kept coming back to his mind. The two brothers went to Yizhou to fight, and they were born and died, and they were close to each other; Before the incident, the eldest brother recruited so many doormen and scattered all his family wealth, and he was so poor that he could barely eat, but he refused to use the gold left by his father until he became an adult
, he dug it out of the ground and handed it to him with his own hands; Every time he won a battle with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, the eldest brother always had to leave him the largest share of the loot...... Never again! The eldest brother is gone, and there will be no second person in this world who can treat him like this.
