63 Choices (I)
To pick up or not to connect, that's the question.
If you don't accept this edict, not to mention that the great temptations of Yehou, Dazongbo, and the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet are gone, it can also be interpreted that Liu Bei agrees with Yuan Shao's idea of establishing a new monarch and openly ignores Liu Xie, the great son of heaven in Chang'an! It's good to say that if even the emperor is opposed because of anti-Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei can't afford such a big hat. Although the little emperor Liu Xie is young at the moment, he is subject to Dong Zhuo's puppet, after all, he is the only remaining son of the first emperor, and he has not lost his morality, and the young emperor Liu Wei has long disappeared, and no one can shake Liu Xie's throne at all.
Since it's not good not to accept it, then take this edict. But everyone in the world knows that this is just Dong Zhuo's chaotic life, it is an edict signed by Dong Zhuo after the clan punished Sikong Zhang Xi and other three ministers one after another, and forced the little emperor to sign it with a bloody sword!
Moreover, once he took over this "chaotic life", it would be equivalent to Liu Bei officially becoming an enemy of Yuan Shao and breaking with the Kwantung heroes, and it would also be equivalent to admitting that Dong Zhuo was no longer a national thief, but Duke Zhou and Huo Guang who had the power to abolish the throne and act on behalf of the king.
Not to mention whether it is in accordance with the rules or not, Dong Zhuo has always been a national thief who is hostile to Liu Bei, arrogant and arrogant, and his appointment does not represent the approval of the imperial court at all, and it will also leave a blame for the people of the world. It was Yuan Shao who sought to establish a new monarch at the beginning, although he was a rebel and deserved to die, after all, he had to take a last resort to fight against Dong Zhuo, and Liu Yu was an important minister of the clan, loyal and loyal, and had great kindness to Liu Bei in his early years, and now Liu Yu was killed by Liu Feng's father-in-law, Gongsun Zhan, and death was not his crime, the world was wronged, how could Liu Bei bear to pour dirty water on his corpse again?
"Feng'er, you have always been resourceful and decisive, why do you think this matter is very embarrassing?" Seeing his son fidgeting in front of him after hearing the news, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, Liu Bei actually looked at it with interest, and he didn't care about the edict at all.
"Big brother, no matter what the court of heaven he is, it's not a guise for Dong Thief, why do we have to sell his life for him if he says a word? Don't do it! In the past few days, there has been endless discussions, and Zhang Fei has long been impatient and shouted directly. In the past few days, although everyone knows such a thing, how to deal with it, but there is no rule, and Liu Bei has not expressed his position, so Lao Zhang has to be anxious.
Receiving this edict means selling his life to Dong Zhuo!
Liu Bei only smiled at the dissatisfaction of his third brother Zhang Fei, but ignored him.
"Father, since you have an idea, tell us quickly, why bother everyone to do it? Anyway, whether to pick up or not, there are pros and cons, and there is no escape! Seeing his father's unhurried appearance, Liu Feng wiped the hot sweat on his forehead, and said a little shyly, but his mind was also relaxed. He didn't know what was going on when he received the summons, and he was only told that he was shocked when he thought he was hiding and self-controlled, and he couldn't believe it was true.
There is no doubt that Dong Zhuo is a big deal this time, and it is also a hot potato, which is delicious and not easy to take!
To be honest, Dong Zhuo's bait made Liu Feng's heart move, and at the same time, he faintly felt that Dong Zhuo had completely let go of his ambition to compete for the world, and from now on he would be a fake emperor with all his heart to guard the door!
The great uncle of the sect conquered the Quartet on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and that was later Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, how much authority Dong Zhuo himself avoided. How can it be said that if you give it, you will be given, and if you say you will give it away, you can give it away!
What's more, his father Liu Bei's current title is not high, Guan Yu and others can only reserve partial generals, no matter how big the official is, he can't take it out, and he especially urgently needs this big name to invite the world's heroes.
As the lord, you can't even afford to give a seal, who will fight the world with you?
Of course, if it is accepted, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others will never agree with this "great uncle", but the other three state pastors of the clan, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Liu Xuan, the pastor of Yangzhou who is about to rush to Yangzhou, their attitude is another matter. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the strong branches and weak trunks, the princes have swarmed, and Yuan Shao has even carried the authority of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family to slaughter the world with the body of the alliance leader, and even wants to set up a new monarch, blatantly not taking the descendants of the Liu family in his eyes!
The descendants of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty really need a great uncle who can conquer the Quartet to come out and support the faΓ§ade. Emotionally speaking, since the death of Liu Yu in Youzhou, Liu Yan and other descendants of the Liu family can still agree with Liu Bei's momentum of coming out to save the descendants of the Liu family. Although in terms of seniority and family background, Liu Bei is the least worthy of the four clan state pastors, but in terms of power, Liu Bei is indeed the strongest one at the moment.
In fact, these are not the most important, what is really important is whether Liu Bei dares to take it.
Just as Geng Chun said when he persuaded Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu to ascend the throne and ascend the throne: "The world's corporal doctors, donate relatives, abandon the soil, and follow the king between the arrows and stones, his plan is to climb the dragon scales, attach the phoenix wings, and become his ambition!" β
In times of chaos, heroes should have the courage to do anything!
If Liu Bei is timid, he doesn't even dare to have this kind of responsibility, he has no ambitions, and he can't even guarantee a knighthood with him, who wants to live with such a promising guy?
Liu Feng thinks that he is not a person who can take charge of things, and he is willing to put the decision of the matter in the hands of his father, and he only needs to chase a goal, and wholeheartedly calculate how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and there is no need to suffer from gains and losses because of whether his choice is right or wrong afterwards.
Tian Feng is worried, the wise man is worried, and if he thinks too much, he will make less decisions, and he can't make up his mind! He has carefully examined all the gains and losses of receiving or not receiving it, and if he is in a different place with the lord, Tian Feng, who is a strategist, can't make up his mind.
Listening to his son's somewhat willful complaints, Liu Bei, who was a father, didn't take it to heart, smiled indifferently, and said: "Dong Zhuo wants to buy me with this piece of paper, and I will guard the east gate for him, hehe, how can I do what he wants!" β
When Liu Bei and Tian Feng and others are discussing, they always choose a place to sit casually, that is, your brain is stuck for a while, and you want to walk around to stretch your muscles, then it's up to you, Liu Bei and Liu Feng themselves like to stand and walk around and talk about things.
Liu Feng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Tian Feng, whose eyebrows were locked into the word "Chuan", with some doubts, and said, "Is my father ready to reject him?" β
Liu Bei nodded, stood with his hands in his hands, stared at the map of the Han Dynasty that was cut into more than a dozen pieces on the wall, slightly distracted, slightly, and said seriously: "Since the envoy came, I have indeed been very difficult in the past few days and nights, and I can't sleep at night. What's the point of being an enemy of the Yuan family, their Yuan family is not a pure minister of the Han Dynasty! β
"Father, we naturally can't go along with Dong Zhuo's thoughts, but Yuan Shao has always distrusted us, and with Dong Zhuo's discord this time, I'm afraid that we won't be able to live in harmony with Jizhou again." Listening to his father's words, Liu Feng's high mind relaxed, although the temptation was great, Liu Feng was also inclined not to accept this edict in his heart. The biggest reason for this is that he doesn't want to be used as a pawn by others!
"Yuan Shao, this bastard, he has never had a time to get along with us!" Zhang Fei scolded angrily, the second brother Guan Yu stayed in the state, isn't it Yuan Shao, a bastard?
Tian Feng frowned, bowed to Liu Beiqian, and said, "Lord, even if you don't accept this edict, Gongsun Boqi is there, but he will not refuse Dong Zhuo!" β
In response to Yuan Shao's plot to establish Liu Yu as the emperor, in addition to ordering the "Great Uncle" Liu Bei to crusade against the mastermind Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo also posthumously promised Gongsun Zan the credit for killing Liu Yu, awarded the Marquis of Ji, and worshiped Youzhou Mu. This is undoubtedly a great thing for Gongsun Zhan, who has newly merged Youzhou and has to face Yuan Shao's aggressive attack, and there is no reason not to accept it.
"What about Bo Jue, I can't persuade him, but if Dong Zhuo wants a little benefit and can instruct me to buy me, he sees the wrong person." Liu Bei smiled and said. It's also a very simple consideration, and he doesn't want to use it as a chess piece for others.
"So, we're still doing what we planned?" Liu Feng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Gongsun Chan was his father-in-law, because he was frustrated in Jizhou and almost died in front of the Koji Yi Formation, Gongsun Chan's inaction against Jizhou, and Yuan Shao's behavior of maintaining contacts with Yuan Shao was like thunder, and he even whipped the envoy of Bingzhou to vent his anger, which has cast a shadow on the relationship between the two families. Moreover, it is said that after Wan'er gave birth to a son-in-law for herself, Gongsun Chan has not said a word from her side until now.
In fact, judging from Liu Bei's behavior in the past few days, Tian Feng had already guessed that he would make such a decision, and this time he was not much surprised to hear him blatantly assert that he refused to accept the order. The pros and cons of the pros and cons of the situation, whether to pick up or not, are about five or five opens, and Tian Feng does not think it is impossible for the lord to choose whichever one. But he was still a little worried and bowed to Liu Bei, and said: "Dong Zhuo made this move, Yuan Shaoxin can't believe that I will merge the state, and he must have withdrawn from the front line of Youzhou. β
"Isn't there a second brother? Do you want us to obey that old thief Dong Zhuo? The eldest brother's decision was in line with his own thoughts, Zhang Fei was very satisfied, but when he heard Tian Feng still habitually say "cool words", he was furious in his heart, and almost roared loudly, and frightened Zhao Yun, who was sitting under him.
"Third brother!" Liu Bei immediately glared at Zhang Fei fiercely, and shouted loudly, "Yuan Hao said the truth, there is something to discuss, what are you doing so loudly?" It's not fast to pay for Yuan Hao! β
Zhang Fei's face turned red, and he hugged his fist to Chong Tianfeng, and said loudly: "Lao Zhang is rude, please Mr. Tian don't blame!" β
Liu Bei was angry for a while, this can be regarded as an apology? Tian Feng only returned the salute modestly, and said lightly: "General Zhang doesn't have to be like this, just talk about things." β

Supernumerary words: Someone asked me earlier, is it surnamed Liu? Is it Liu Bei's descendant?
Hehe, I don't have the surname Liu, and my family goes back three generations, grandparents and grandparents, and there is no one surnamed Liu, and if you go up, you have to turn over the family tree......
