Chapter 525: It's a Gamble
Xu Tian's words not only silenced Wei Yan.
Even Zhao Yun, who had been thinking about how to fight, couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand and frowned slightly.
Yes, the position of the emperor, how many people in the world don't want?
Don't say that there is a chance, even if it is a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water, there are people who will be desperate for this.
Such a temptation is too great!
"What does the king mean, you want to accept it?" Wei Yan's eyelids were beating wildly.
It's not that he doesn't want Xu Tian to be the emperor, it's a good thing for him.
But.
After Cao Pi became the emperor, what did he get?
Endless wars, and accusations from everyone in the world.
What's more, Xu Tian's situation is very different from Cao Pi's.
Liu Xie, the son of the Han family, is still in Xiangyang.
If he had become emperor, the consequences would have been even more serious.
First of all, they are nameless, and all the actions they do now are claiming to be doing the right thing for heaven.
After all, it was Cao Pi who defied the disapproval of the world and proclaimed himself emperor without authorization.
In this way, everyone will support them, both openly and secretly.
If Xu Tian became the emperor himself now, not only would this natural advantage be gone, but it would bring huge losses to himself.
The anger of everyone's attention will be drawn to them.
Thinking of this, Wei Yan had to admire Cao Pi's treachery.
Just one move can ruin a person's reputation.
"Accept?" Xu Tian sneered and said with endless disdain.
"Let's not talk about whether I should be the emperor or not, take 10,000 steps back, even if I want to be the emperor, it is not his Cao Pi who has the final say!
He asked me to do it, and I did it, so what did I become?
He wanted to use this trick against me, it was too simple! ”
Hearing Xu Tian's words, both Zhao Yun and Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
It's not that they don't believe in Xu Tian's wisdom and ability.
The main thing is that the temptation of the emperor is too great.
"But..."
Just when the two of them had just relaxed.
Xu Tian's words lifted the hearts of the two again.
"We can refuse this, do you think this Liu Bei will refuse?"
Xu Tian looked at the two of them with interest, and the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer.
"What does the king mean..."Wei Yan didn't turn around.
"Since Cao Pi has given us such conditions.
Then, Liu Bei will definitely be given the same conditions! ”
This time, it was Zhao Yun, who had been silent, who gave Wei Yan a wake-up call.
"Oh... Right! Wei Yan suddenly clapped his palms and said with a flickering gaze.
Since Cao Pi has given himself such conditions.
Then naturally, Liu Bei will definitely be given the same conditions.
After all.
Cao Pi is now sandwiched between Xu Tian and Liu Bei.
If you want to break away quickly, you can only create contradictions between the two sides.
This is the safest strategy.
More importantly, the conditions offered by Cao Pi.
For Liu Bei, it is an incomparably huge temptation.
He is a relative of the Han family, and he has the dream of being an emperor.
Such a condition fell into his hands, and I am afraid he could not refuse.
"Do you think this Liu Bei will agree to Cao Pi?"
Xu Tian held the chess pieces in his hand and returned his gaze to the chessboard.
"I thought that Liu Bei would definitely be tempted, and it was very likely that he would directly agree to Cao Pi, but Zhuge Liang would not agree!"
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said his thoughts.
"Then it depends on whether Zhuge Liang's words can impress Liu Bei, or whether Liu Bei wants the conditions given by Cao Pi more!"
Wei Yan broke the mystery in one sentence.
"That's why I said that Buncho is usually smarter than everyone else..."
Xu Tian smiled slightly, pointed at Wei Yan and said.
For a while, the three of them looked at each other and laughed...
…
Yizhou.
Zhuge Liang has been sitting in the room since he came back.
did not reveal to anyone what he said to Liu Bei.
This made the generals who surrounded the Han Wangfu that day really sweat.
They didn't know what the situation was, for fear that they would lose their family's lives because of Liu Bei's anger.
But.
After half a day of worry, I found that there was nothing wrong.
This made these people feel a little relieved.
However, they were still very worried, after all, they did not get any definite news.
So, they all found Ma Tan, hoping that he could go and find out the news.
You know, he is a student of Zhuge Liang.
Doing this kind of thing is neither convenient nor disgusting to Zhuge Liang.
Ma Tan himself wanted to know, but he wasn't worried about himself.
He just wanted to know what happened to Zhuge Liang.
You must know that leading troops to surround the Han Wangfu is a crime of rebellion.
Even if his relationship with Liu Bei is good, it is very likely that he will turn his face, which is a taboo for being the master.
So, under the collective request of many generals, Ma Jian still came to Zhuge Liang's mansion.
"Teacher..."
When he opened the door, Ma Jian saw Zhuge Liang sitting in the room at a glance.
The other sat quietly at the table, with the stove burning beside him.
The copper kettle on it was steaming hot, making a "gurgling" sound.
"Here, come and sit..."
Zhuge Liang fiddled with the tea set in front of him, turned around and lifted the steaming kettle, and poured boiling water into the teacup.
The tea leaves tumble, and a fragrance instantly spreads.
Ma Tan slowly sat in front of Zhuge Liang.
He can be sure that the other party should know that he is coming, and he specially brewed tea here and waited for him.
"Teacher... Is this waiting for me? Even though Ma Tan knew the result, he couldn't help but ask.
"Youchang, I'm afraid more than one person has been looking for you..."
Zhuge Liang calmly poured a cup of tea for Ma Yan.
"Teacher, the students are worried about your safety, after all..."
Ma Jian hurriedly explained, but was interrupted by Zhuge Liang.
"I know you're worried about me, but this time you've really offended King Han!
But I don't regret it, as long as I can save Yizhou, even if I die, what's the matter? ”
Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and said slowly.
Ma Jian sighed secretly, what he was most afraid of was seeing Zhuge Liang like this.
Originally, I wanted to tell him if I had a stomach.
But seeing the teacher like this, Ma Jian still endured it.
"How's it going? What did you discuss with King Han? ”
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Ma Jian asked with a sigh.
He still wanted to know the most critical question.
"Cao Pi wants our Han King to ascend the throne as the emperor, and respect him as the second emperor!"
"What?!"
The teacup that Ma Tan picked up again couldn't help but slip out of his hand and fell directly to the ground, spilling the tea on the ground.
"You... You mean... Our king wants to be the emperor? ”
He was afraid that he had misheard, so he asked again.
"According to the latest information, Cao Pi should not be able to hold out for long.
He's very sick, but he's set up a big game!
This is a gamble, and the stake is the position of the emperor!
As for who will win in the end, it depends on who can endure it the most..."
Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes and said quietly...
