Chapter 232 Dong Zhuo Receives Luoyang Letter (Middle)

And Zhang Rang has to be careful about this matter, if the coach is changed, if it is really changed, then what can I do if I lose it at once. At least Dong Zhuo's family has always controlled Han Sui at the junction of Liangzhou and Si Li, and it has been so many years, at least this is not bad. Otherwise, he would have had a big opinion.

There were two things written in this Jean's letter, and he didn't say anything more. However, with Dong Zhuo's shrewdness, he naturally knew that such a change had happened in the Dao, and how he had to do it to get more benefits, in fact, he really didn't need to say anything more. However, he still has to ask his think tank Li Ru, after all, there are some things that he can't consider, but Li Ru can think about them thoroughly, and he can also answer his questions, and some things he doesn't understand very well, Li Ru can explain them to himself.

Li Ru asked at this time: "Does the lord know, why did Zhang ask him to write to the lord so quickly?" ”

"This ......, speaking of which, I really don't know!"

Not to mention, Dong Zhuo really hadn't thought about this issue carefully before, he had just been thinking about his own affairs all the time, but he didn't think about why Zhang Rang wrote to him so quickly to let him know the news that Liu Hong was seriously ill. If you want to say that your eyeliner in Luoyang has changed so much now, then their secret report is now coming, but it is not as fast as Zhang Rang's letter, so why is this Zhang Rang so?

Dong Zhuo thought about it, this, could it be? Oh, maybe that's it!

"This, Wen You, do you think he Zhang Rang is showing favor to me? Because if Liu Hong dies, then it will be difficult to offend the people he has offended for so many years! And I don't know how many people want to get rid of him quickly, so when the time comes, if he falls to me, he thinks maybe I can pull him, right? ”

Li Ru smiled when he heard this, "What the lord said is not bad, in fact, Confucianism thinks that this is what Zhang Rang thinks!" However, please think about it, now that Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty is seriously ill, and Zhang Rang's letter said that his time is running out at this time, so once he dies, who will inherit the unification at that time is ......"

Li Ru didn't say anything further when he said this, he knew that everything he had said was here, so his lord naturally understood everything after that, where did he need to say more.

Dong Zhuo nodded fiercely when he heard this, that's right, Li Ru is not wrong at all. Liu Hong has only two sons, one is the prince born to Empress He, that is, the nephew of the general He Jin, and Liu Biao who taught martial arts by Ma Chao. And the other is the prince Xie, Liu Xie, who was born to Wang Meiren, as for Wang Meiren, she has been dead for many years.

But Liu Hong has never been a prince for so many years, and everyone in the world knows the truth. As for why he has not established a prince for a long time, some people may not be particularly clear, but he Dong Zhuo still knows something about this. It can be said that Dong Zhuo has always been concerned about this, and he is not one of those people who has no political acumen.

First of all, it is not that Liu Hong does not want to establish a prince, but that he does not dare to act rashly. As for why he doesn't dare, it's because he's always worried, it stands to reason that the position of the crown prince should be Liu Wei's, because it has always been that there is an eldest son, and there is no special reason, so the eldest son has to be the heir. And Liu Bian's mother is the queen of the main palace, and Liu Biao is also Liu Hong's first son, so he is the eldest son, so he should inherit the throne, there is nothing to say.

But Liu Hong has been slow to move, what does this mean, it shows that he doesn't want to make his eldest son the prince, that's what happened. Maybe some people who don't have much political acumen don't know much about these things, but Dong Zhuo has been in the officialdom for decades, so he naturally knows all about it. If he didn't know all this, then he wouldn't have been messing around for decades, in that case, he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill him directly.

In fact, Liu Hong just didn't want to give the throne to Liu Wei, and he just wanted to pass the throne to Liu Xie, so he was like this, because he had his own ideas, and this thought was actually a very helpless thing. If Liu Wei is more suitable to be the emperor than Liu Xie, then Liu Hong will not hesitate to make Liu Wei the crown prince immediately, but over the years, he can be said to know his two sons too well, Liu Wei is the eldest son, yes, but he is really not suitable to be the emperor.

If you want to say that Liu Hong has lived in this life, the most important thing for him is the foundation left by his ancestors, the country left behind, and the second is money. And although he really doesn't have any great skills, let alone a Daoming monarch, he also hopes to keep the country left by his ancestors, and this is the most important thing for him.

It's a pity, although he never wanted to admit it, he had to admit in his heart that the world had already been in chaos. Not admitting it is nothing more than self-deception, but in fact, the world has long been not peaceful, and I may not know this. But there is nothing he can do about it, and there is no way to turn the tide, because he also knows that he doesn't have that much ability to do this.

So in this way, Liu Hong pinned all his hopes on his son, hoping that what he could not complete by himself could be completed for him by his son. Anyway, it has never been easy to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country, after his own observation for many years, his eldest son, that is, Liu Wei, who was born to Empress He, he can't be the emperor of troubled times at all. If one day the country really reaches his hands, then it is estimated that it may be almost lost in a few days, if it is at that time, then he will be a sinner, sorry for the ancestors of the Han Dynasty.

And Liu Xie, who was born to Wang Meiren, don't look at his age, but the so-called three-year-old looks old. Although Liu Xie is young, he has the appearance of an emperor, and his every move looks like that. And although he is not very old, he is smart and clever, and he is quite scheming. Although he is only a few years old, he already has a plan, maybe this is not good, but in Liu Hong's opinion, as an emperor, he has to be like this.

But if you look at Liu Wei again, he is twelve or thirteen years old, and he doesn't look like an emperor. And he is quite honest, and he is not decisive in killing. Of course, if he was born in the Taiping era and grew up in the peaceful and prosperous era, then Liu Hong would not hesitate to make Liu Wei the crown prince. Because in his eyes, Liu Wei can only be the person who became the emperor in the peaceful era. But Liu Xie is different, because in Liu Hong's eyes, he is the prince who can really be an emperor in troubled times.

There is also a very important point, that is, the potential of the relatives behind Liu Bian, but Liu Hong has to think about this more, whether he stands up for Liu Debate or not, he has to consider the strength of his relatives.

If it is true that Liu Wei is made the crown prince, then when he becomes the emperor, it may be estimated that in a few days, the Han dynasty may change his surname. But if Liu Wei can really be like Liu Xie, an emperor in troubled times, decisive in killing, and an emperor's heart, then Liu Hong will definitely make him the prince immediately. Because in that case, no matter how powerful his relatives are, Liu Hong believes that Liu Wei can solve this matter. But Liu Wei is only an emperor in the peaceful era, so he can't be the emperor of this troubled era at all. So there is no way, can Liu Hong make him the most princely, it is obviously impossible.

But just like that, Liu Hong didn't dare to act rashly. Because he knew that once he established Liu Xie as the crown prince, then what should he do when he entered Queen He's side, they would definitely be the first to jump out. And because Liu Wei is the eldest son, is it possible for Yuan Kui's old guys to compromise on this matter, it is obviously still impossible. So as long as Liu Hong thought of Lichu, he had a headache, and he deliberately didn't move. Anyway, it's just dragging, let's talk about it then.

However, for a long time, in fact, there are still many people who have written books and asked Liu Hong to establish a prince early, but when it comes to the worst, it is gone, and Liu Hong doesn't pay much attention to it. When it came to the end, everyone saw that His Majesty was treated like this, so naturally these people didn't want to be bored anymore, so slowly few people insisted on anything. Because it's useless, can you still force the palace in this way, obviously you can't.

But this time, Liu Hong was seriously ill, and he was really sick, otherwise Zhang Rang would not have written to Dong Zhuo like this. But at this time, there has been no crown prince, so many people have already been active at this time. After all, if Liu Hong suddenly dies in a real moment, then whoever stands in line early and stands correctly will naturally get more and greater benefits. On the other hand, whoever is going to stand in the wrong line and stand late, then you may be in bad luck. Of course, there are no absolutes in this kind of thing. Because in everyone's thoughts, His Majesty will definitely decide on the successor at least when he is dying. Or maybe it's already been decided, but it's not necessarily that the edict has been hidden, right?

But for the ministers, this Liu Hong's edict is one thing, but it is not absolute. Because the new monarch has just come up, when he first ascended the throne, especially when he is still young, then his foundation is definitely unstable, so he may be pushed down anytime and anywhere. So at this time, it is not only necessary to be cautious in the choice of standing in line, but also to be more cautious and cautious in the future. Because at that time, saving the life of the child is the most important thing.

"Wen You means that Zhang Rang actually has a choice at this time, and he also wants me to stand with him, right?"

Dong Zhuo asked, I didn't expect Zhang Rang to want to pull himself into the water, but can he really let him get his wish so easily, Ha Luha, let's see.
