Chapter 389: Bear the Burden of Humiliation
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
The reason why Liu Xiu was able to win again and again in Runan was largely due to the fact that he was under the banner of the Han Dynasty, the people's aspirations, and the people's will.
And if he is opposed, no matter how good the reason is, in the minds of the people, he is the anti-thief of the Han family, and the people's hearts will suddenly fall to Liu Xuan's side, and the advantages that Liu Xiu had before are gone.
This is also the reason why Yan Guang analyzed that after his rebellion, even if he could win a few battles with his own ability, the congregation still rebelled and left in the end. Yan Guang's analysis is by no means alarmist, but a real problem.
Yan Guang is a cultivator, and he can see the way of heaven best. At present, Liu Xiu does not have the conditions to rebel against Liu Xuan at all, and forcibly doing it is tantamount to self-destruction.
Liu Xiu finally listened to Yan Guang's opinion, suppressed the hatred of his brother's murder in his heart, and quietly returned to Wancheng with only Long Yuan and others.
As for the 7,000 soldiers under his command, Liu Xiu ordered Ma Wu to act as the chief general, lead the whole army, and retreat to Yingchuan.
Here in Runan, Liu Sheng was originally overwhelmed by Liu Xiu, and after Liu Xiu's troops laid down the peace, they continued to advance southward, and in just two or three days, they successively took the two places of Liyang and Zaocheng.
If it continues at this rate, Liu Sheng's sphere of influence in Runan will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to make great achievements.
Just when Liu Sheng was at a loss, Liu Xuan, who was in Wancheng, suddenly did him a great favor and killed Liu Xuan, causing Liu Xiu to have to return to Wancheng, and the army under his command also evacuated Runan, went all the way north, and returned to Yingchuan.
After learning the news, Liu Sheng was so excited that he almost jumped up on the spot, and hurriedly waved his army north to receive all the towns captured by Liu Xiubu, including Runan County and Pingyu.
In just a few days, Liu Sheng's forces have completed control over more than half of the territory of Runan. With the continuous expansion of the sphere of influence and the increasing number of soldiers under his command, at this time, Liu Sheng's ambition has also become unprecedentedly inflated.
Let's talk about Liu Xiu, he secretly returned to Wancheng. On the day he returned, he went to see Liu Liang. Seeing Liu Xiu, Liu Liang was taken aback, at this time, how could Liu Xiu dare to return to Wancheng?
Liu Liang is Liu Xiu's own uncle, and he is also the person who brought Liu Xiu up, saying that he is an uncle and nephew, but in fact he is like a father and son, Liu Liang's feelings for Liu Xiu are much deeper than his feelings for Liu Xiu.
In Liu Liang's opinion, the culprit who killed Liu Xiu was Wang Kuang and others, and now that Liu Xiu has returned to Wancheng, how can Wang Kuang and others let him go? Didn't he come back from a net?
In this regard, Liu Xiu can see it more thoroughly than Liu Liang, the mastermind who killed the eldest brother is the Green Forest Department, but Liu Xuan is also the biggest accomplice, if Liu Xuan does not stand on the side of the Green Forest Department, the eldest brother will not die miserably.
So the key to the problem is still Liu Xuan. Liu Xiu bluntly explained his intention to return to Wancheng, the eldest brother was killed because of the rebellion, he had no idea about the rebellion, and this time he came back to ask His Majesty for guilt.
Liu Liang shook his head again and again, what's the use of asking His Majesty for guilt? At present, the ruling power of the DPRK is the Green Forest Department, to put it bluntly, Liu Xuan is just a puppet in the hands of others, can he keep Liu Xiu? In this regard, Liu Liang has no confidence at all.
Taking advantage of Liu Liang's worries, Liu Xiu proposed to let all the clan relatives enter the palace with him to be a witness, even if the people of the Green Forest Department really wanted to harm him, there would be so many clan relatives present, and they would be afraid. After Liu Liang heard this, he felt that what Liu Xiu said was reasonable, not to mention, the others had returned to Wancheng, and now the dead horse could only be a live horse doctor. Liu Liang is the elder of the Liu clan, and his reputation is very high, as soon as he summoned, almost all the clansmen came, Bao
Including Liu Ci and Liu Xin, Liu Xuan's close relatives.
Seeing Liu Xiu in Liu Liang's mansion, the clan relatives were very surprised, and after hearing Liu Xiu's intention to come back, the clan relatives all nodded secretly in their hearts, appreciating Liu Xiu's approach.
is the so-called gentleman frank, your green forest department framed Liu Xuan for rebellion, and now Liu Xiu returned to Wancheng alone and asked His Majesty for guilt, can you still find fault with your green forest department? Can Liu Xiu still be framed for participating in the rebellion?
Liu Ci patted his chest and said loudly: "Ah Xiu, don't worry, if the people of the Green Forest Department want to poison you, you have to pass my Liu Ci first, it's a big deal, our Liu family will fight with the people of their Green Forest Department!" ”
The rest of the Liu clan members were also indignant, and they were all on Liu Xiu's side. Liu Xiu was grateful on the surface, but in her heart she didn't think so.
When Liu Xuan, Wang Kuang and others conspired to kill the eldest brother, where were all of you? Can someone stand up and stop it? Now that the eldest brother has been killed, you all have the ability to do it.
At this time, Liu Xiu's heart was full of hatred and anger, and his thoughts became quite extreme.
When Liu Xuan, Wang Kuang and others conspired to calculate Liu Xuan, these Liu clan relatives didn't know about it at all, so how could they stop it? Afterwards, they also stood up and went to the palace to ask Liu Xuan for justice, but they didn't ask for a result.
But Liu Xuan's body can be buried, not in the wilderness, Liu Xuan's family can be spared, and will not be implicated and punished, these are definitely the credit of the Liu clan.
To make a long story short, Liu Xiu and a group of Liu clan relatives went to the palace together to ask Liu Xuan for their guilt.
When Liu Xuan heard the news that Liu Xiu asked to see him, he was stupid. Liu Xiu? Isn't he in Runan?
He had already sent Zhu Kun and Zhang Wei to Yingchuan, preparing to lead the tens of thousands of troops in Yingchuan, and went south to fight him, and he also wrote a letter to Liu Sheng, asking him to cooperate with Zhu Kun's troops to fight, and from the north to the south, to attack Liu Xiu.
Why didn't he stay in Yingchuan, ready to be beaten, but ran to Wancheng?
Liu Xuan was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and secretly hated in his heart, he had already planned it, and now that you have returned to Wancheng, won't you let your plans become empty?
He ordered the palace guards to lie in ambush inside and outside the main hall, ready to attack Liu Xiu at any time. Now, he is using the same method to deal with Liu Xiu, and he is using it to deal with Liu Xiu.
However, when Liu Xiu walked into the palace hall, Liu Xuan realized that he was wrong, and the means that worked for Liu Xiu were not feasible for Liu Xiu, because Liu Xiu did not come alone, but came with all the clan relatives.
This made Liu Xuan unable to find a chance to kill Liu Xiu even if he wanted to make a sudden attack.
Entering the hall and seeing Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu did not question him in any way, nor did he complain, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed forward, the first thing was to admit his mistake, and admit his mistake to Liu Xuan for his eldest brother Liu Xuan.
Then, he made it clear that he did not know about the rebellion of his eldest brother, let alone participated in the rebellion of his eldest brother, and that he returned to Wancheng this time in order to hand over the military power and show his loyalty to His Majesty.
Looking at Liu Xiu's attitude, it doesn't seem like he saw the enemy who killed his brother at all, and he also felt remorse for Liu Xiu's 'rebellion'.
Such a Liu Xiu, even if Liu Xuan wanted to poison him, he couldn't find a reasonable reason, not to mention that there were so many Liu clan relatives present. In front of everyone, it was impossible for him to forcibly kill Liu Xiu. Just when Liu Xuan was difficult to ride a tiger and didn't know what to do, Liu Ci stood up again and shouted loudly: "Bo Sheng and Uncle Wen are both loyal to Your Majesty, if there is no framing by Wang Kuang and others, why would Bo Sheng die in vain?" Uncle Wen, what about it
Go back to Wancheng to bear the guilt? Your Majesty failed to protect Bosheng, and now you can't help but protect Uncle Wen! If Wang Kuang and the others insist on harming Uncle Wen, we, the clan relatives, will stand on Your Majesty's side and fight against Wang Kuang and others together with Your Majesty! Liu Xuan looked at his uncle, who was full of righteous indignation and had no words, and he couldn't tell what it was like. After thinking about it, Liu Xuan had to suppress his murderous intent towards Liu Xiu, and pretended to be magnanimous and said: "Bosheng and Uncle Wen are loyal to me, how can I be."
Ignorance? But I really can't keep Bosheng! Now that Uncle Wen has returned to Wancheng, it is also a good thing, under my nose, it is easy for me to protect Uncle Wen's thoughtfulness! ”
After a pause, he leaned forward and asked, "Uncle Wen won't hold a grudge against me because of Bosheng's matter, right?" After saying this, he looked at Liu Xiu intently.
Liu Xiu, it is not an exaggeration to describe the person who Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, if he didn't want you to see his thoughts, he really wouldn't let you see it at all.
Liu Xiu, who had already stood up, knelt down again, kowtowed forward, and said in a choked voice: "What does the death of the eldest brother have to do with Your Majesty?" It's all done by villains! Now, the villain is in charge, what can Your Majesty do? ”
When Liu Xuan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Xiu didn't count the account of Liu Xiu's killing on his head, but it was good, if Liu Xiu could fight to the death with those people in the Green Forest Department and watch the fire from the other side, it would be great.
This time, Liu Xiu returned to Wancheng and pleaded guilty to Liu Xuan, which was a risky move. His life and death are completely not in his own hands, but in the hands of others.
If Liu Xuanfei believed that Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu conspired to rebel, no one would be able to stop him if he had to be killed, but Yan Guang's idea for Liu Xiu played a vital role, that is, to bring the Liu clan relatives to meet Liu Xuan together.
With these Liu clan relatives present, Liu Xuan really had concerns and did not dare to forcibly execute Liu Xiu. Liu Xuan's foundation is the Liu clan, and he does not dare and cannot offend the clansmen, and acts recklessly.
Liu Xuan's level can be regarded as being resolved by Liu Xiu without danger.
Next, it's the level of the green forest system. At present, Wang Kuang is not in Wancheng, but on the way to attack Luoyang, and Shen Tujian and Li Song are attacking Wuguan. Here in Wancheng, the person with the highest status in the green forest system is Wang Feng.
And Wang Feng and Liu Xiu have always had a good relationship, and in the matter of whether to kill Liu Xiu, Wang Feng is completely on Liu Xiu's side and advocates not killing.
Wang Feng's attitude also greatly affected the attitude of the Green Forest Department towards Liu Xiu. Under Wang Feng's protection, Liu Xiu also successfully passed the level of the green forest system.
After Liu Xiu returned to Wancheng, although he did not have to worry about his life for the time being, he was also deprived of the military power in his hands. People like Ma Wu, Cho Period, Feng Yi, Zhu You and others were all assigned different positions and separated.
At this time, Liu Xiu really became the commander of the light pole. However, there were quite a few guests who came to visit, including those who came to visit him sincerely, and those sent by Liu Xuan to test him.
No matter who it is, as long as he comes to visit, Liu Xiu treats each other politely, chats and laughs with him, and drinks and talks, his performance has also dispelled Liu Xuan's wariness of Liu Xiu to a large extent.
But what Liu Xuan didn't know was that every night, there would always be a low crying sound in Liu Xiu's room.
The revenge of his brother's murder is so unforgettable, how can Liu Xiu forget?
Don't look at him acting like he's okay during the day, talking and laughing with the guests who come to him, but in fact, he's thinking about revenge all the time. Among these guests who came to visit, Liu Xiu treated two people with special courtesy, one was Zhao Meng, the national abbot, and the other was Cao Jing, the prime minister of Zuo.
