"Luoyang's Zhu Kun still refuses to surrender. Was he so loyal to the First Emperor? Liu Xiu said angrily.

Wang Ming said: "No, he is worried that the surrender will be liquidated by His Majesty. Because he was involved in framing the King of Qi (Liu Yan. Liu Xiu was posthumously crowned his brother as King of Qi after he became emperor). ”

Liu Xiu remembered the murder of his eldest brother:

Liu Yan returned to the palace and told the Imperial Doctor about the day.

"Your Majesty, Liu Yanmu has no king, and he really should be executed." Kui laughed.

"Isn't it? Liu Yan had long hoped to rebel. I'm sure. Liu Xuan scolded.

Kui said angrily: "Your Majesty, Liu Yan has always supported the army and respected himself. If this continues, he will surely raise up an army. ”

"Yes. Liu Yan has always had no reverence for me. He has only profit in mind. If this person is not removed. I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm in our Han family. The first emperor Liu Xuan was worried.

"Your Majesty, if you kill Liu Yan. Our Han family will definitely be stable. Kui Huan said.

The next day, Liu Yan came to Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City to drink.

Shen Tujian first toasted Liu Yan.

"General Liu Bosheng defeated the Wancheng army of the New Dynasty, and his contribution is great!" Shen Tujian said with a smile.

"Where, where. It's all the blessing of Emperor Gaozu! Liu Yan said with a smile.

Wang Ming was the bodyguard at the gate of Weiyang Palace at this time.

He thought to himself: I'll work in the Han army first. If so, the Han army can pacify the world as soon as possible, and I can find my father as soon as possible, and I can go back.

At this time, Liu Yan looked at Liu Xuan and thought: Emperor Gengshi has long wanted to remove my military power. How do I deal with myself if this continues?

Liu Xuan asked, "Liu Bosheng, why didn't you hand over the sword?" Wearing a sword-faced monarch is a capital offense. ”

Shen Tujian took out the jade jue.

Liu Yan then handed over the sword and gave it to Liu Xuan.

Wang Ming, who was at the gate of Weiyang Palace, suddenly remembered: It's not good. Liu Yan is estimated to be killed by Liu Xuan this time.

What to do?

I'm going to save him!

Otherwise, I can't stop appreciating me.

Liu Yan remembered the first time he met Liu Xuan before:

"Brother Liu Bosheng, we need to work together to defeat Wang Mang. Wang Mang is a cancer in the world. Although he is the Duke of An Han, he is completely a traitor of the Han family. Liu Xuan scolded.

"We must work together to overthrow Wang Mang's tyranny in order to save the people of the world." Liu Yan said with a smile.

"Good. Let's overthrow Wang Mang's tyranny together. Liu Yan said with a smile.

"Liu Shenggong! Now that Yin Lu is dead, the Yin family is about to be wiped out. The forces of the world against the reckless thieves have been dealt a heavy blow again! Liu Yan said sadly.

Zhang Wei cried: "Holy Father. Our Han family has been hit hard again! "Don't be discouraged! We still have a chance! Liu Xuan said with a smile.

In fact, he thought to himself: What should I do? For example, it is still Wang Mang's today! Our Han clan relatives are completely at the mercy of others!

Liu Xuan cried: "Our Han family still needs a promising monarch to reorganize the rivers and mountains!" ”

"Liu Shenggong. Today, the most authentic Han clan is none other than the child baby! He was originally the crown prince chosen by the Empress Dowager! Liu Yan cried.

"Liu Bosheng. How can we recognize the person chosen by Wang Mang? The infant was established by Wang Mang, and he also gave the world of the Han family to Wang Mang! How can such a coward be called the lord of the Han family? Zhang Wei cried.

"The infant is the descendant of Emperor Xiaoxuan and the great-grandson of Liu Huan, the king of Chu." Liu Yan protested.

"Really? Right? The great-grandson of the King of Chu is no longer the descendant of our Han family, right? Our Han dynasty has three uniques, and there is no descendant for a long time. Zhang Wei said with a smile.

Liu Xuan continued to behave, and he said slowly: "Actually, it's not difficult to say that. Our Royal Highness is also the orthodoxy of our Han family! We should support him! ”

Liu Yan looked at Liu Xuan's hypocritical appearance, and couldn't help beating his chest. He thought to himself: Liu Shenggong. Are you still the original Liu Shenggong?

He remembered the scene when he and Liu Xuan became brothers:

In the inn in Nanyang Chungling, there is a plate of dried tofu and a roast chicken on the table.

A big man sits on a chair with a pot of Fenjiu in front of him.

"Liu Shenggong! I have heard that the envoys of Fanbang are talking about it now. It is said that Wang Mang is the master of our Han Empire! How unreasonable! ”

Sitting opposite the big man was Liu Xuan.

"Liu Bosheng! Wang Mang actually has such a high prestige. It's horrible! Liu Xuan said to Liu.

"O Holy Father! Wang Mang's intention to usurp the Han has already been revealed! We need to kill him quickly, otherwise it will be Wang Mang who usurps the Han in the future! ”

Liu Xuan smiled: "Actually, the big man is not here. We're all the same! Although we are the descendants of Han Gaozu, our family is surrounded by walls, and there is no difference between us and a common people. Who do you think does in the world, and what difference does it make for us? ”

Liu Yan scolded angrily: "How can it be the same? We are the descendants of the Han Dynasty, and we are eating the Han Dynasty's food! ”

Liu Yan's voice actually shook so much that the wine glass began to shake.

Liu Xuan was still nibbling on the roast chicken, and he had no heart at all. He thought to himself: What does the demise of the Han have to do with me? Anyway, I don't have any official position. Even if the Han Dynasty perished, I'm still the same!

However, when he saw Liu Yan so impassioned, he thought: If I don't have the same idea with him, I'm afraid I will be beaten by him!

"Brother Bosheng! You're right! We need to crusade against Wang Mang together! ”

"Yes! I immediately asked my father to participate in Wang Mang's copy, hoping that His Majesty can punish Wang Mang! ”

Liu Yan continued to drink, and suddenly, Kui Huan threw the wine glass.

The soldiers rushed in.

Wang Ming shouted: "Don't kill General Liu Bosheng." He's a good guy! ”

The soldiers shouted: "Kill the traitor Liu Bosheng." Kill the traitor Liu Bosheng ......"

The crossbowman shot Liu Yan in the chest with an arrow.

Liu Yan was bleeding profusely and cried: "I hate that I didn't kill the faint king." Liu Shenggong, you must not die a good death. ”

Liu Xiu then sent Cen Peng to persuade Zhu Kun to surrender.

When Cen Peng arrived in Luoyang, he said to Zhu Kun: "Brother Zhu, I can guarantee that after you surrender, Emperor Jianwu (Liu Xiu) will reuse you." You can rest assured. ”

"Really? What guarantees do you take? Zhu Kun was a little unconvinced.

He thought to himself: I killed Liu Xiu's brother. Liu Xiu will definitely kill me.

"I killed Liu Xiu's mother and second brother. But Liu Xiu still reuses mine. You have to believe in Liu Xiu's character. He is a gentleman. Cen Peng cried.

Zhu Kun said: "Okay. I can surrender. However, all the officials under my command need to continue to be in the Jianwu Emperor and get official positions. May I? ”

"No problem. Emperor Jianwu can let you continue to rule your officials. You can also be a marquis. Cen Peng said.
