Chapter 528, Zhang Yu died
Mrs. Cai intended to let Liu Cong ascend the throne, but Liu Qi was far away, and Mrs. Cai didn't bother to pay attention to whether he was dead or alive, and wished that he would die outside.
"Come on, untie Liu Qi!" Lu Zhuo rushed behind him and gave an order, and Wu Kui Zhou Zhi hurriedly responded to the promise.
Xu Shu glanced at Lu Zhuo, thinking that Liu Qi must not be released, even if it is inconvenient to kill, he should be placed under house arrest.
Lu Zhuo ignored Xu Shu's reminder, although Lu Zhuo also has many shortcomings and deficiencies, but he is very assertive, unlike Yuan Shao, who is indecisive and messes up at every turn, and doesn't know what to do.
When the rope was loosened, Liu Qi was a little stunned, and looked up at Lu Zhuo in confusion, "You won't kill me?" ”
Lu Zhuo smiled, "Liu Qi, I don't know if you are willing to surrender to the imperial court?" ”
Lu Zhuo asked very skillfully, he did not say that Liu Qi would surrender himself, but put the court out, Liu Qi suddenly fell silent, Lu Zhuo nodded secretly in his heart, "The court is where the righteousness lies, if you are loyal to the court, I will protect you as the lord of Jingxiang in the future." ”
“…………”
This proposal made Liu Qi very moved, and frankly speaking, he didn't want to be the master of Jingzhou all the time.
It's not that Liu Qi is greedy for power and status, but after Liu Biao's death, Liu Qi has the responsibility and obligation to pick Jingzhou on his shoulders.
However, based on Lu Zhuo's words alone, Liu Qi was still half-convinced, he didn't believe that Lu Zhuo would be so kind.
Lu Zhuo has his own considerations, Liu Qi no matter what, after all, he is Liu Biao's eldest son, there will definitely be many people in Jingzhou who support Liu Qi, as long as Liu Qi surrenders, it will also save a lot of energy to capture Jingxiang in the future.
Although, after consulting with Jiangdong Sun Ce before, after capturing Jingxiang, Jingzhou will be returned to Sun Ce, and Jiangxia and Huainan will be returned to Lu Zhuo, but Lu Zhuo believes that sooner or later he and Jiangdong will have a battle.
This is inevitable, otherwise, how to dominate the world?
It's like playing the game of "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms", no matter how many cities there are at the beginning, no matter who you are close to, sooner or later, you have to turn against each other and stand on the hostile side.
Although Liu Qi is insignificant, he is Liu Biao's eldest son after all, just like Liu Xie, no matter who holds it in his hand, he will be invincible and have the moral upper hand.
Liu Qi still has some resistance and hesitation in his heart for the time being, Lu Zhuo is not in a hurry, he first ordered someone to take care of him, Xu Shu proposed that Liu Qi should be sent to Xu Capital to see the Son of Heaven, Xu Shu thought that once he saw Liu Xie, Liu Qi would definitely be able to be moved, and His Majesty would come forward in person, and things would naturally go much smoother.
But this proposal was rejected by Lu Zhuo.
Lu Zhuo wants a helper, not an enemy, once Liu Qi is sent to Liu Xie's side, Liu Qi will definitely be moved by Liu Xie's words, if it is not good, Liu Qi will become Liu Xie's helper, and obey Liu Xie's words, if that is the case, it is not a good thing for Lu Zhuo.
Xu Shu didn't persuade much, but he was obviously a little disappointed.
How did Xu Shu know that since Liu Xie began to woo Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Xu Shu, who were capable people who were interested in the Han family, Lu Zhuo had been wary of Liu Xie.
Although there will be no hostility for the time being, however, Lu Zhuo will not let Liu Xie continue to cultivate the power of enveloping and send Liu Qi to Xudu, no need to ask, Lu Zhuo is fighting outside, and he can't scruple at all, and when the class teacher returns to the court, I don't know when, for such a long time, Liu Xie has time to persuade Liu Qi.
Knowing that Liu Qi was injured, Lu Zhuo hurriedly asked Lang Zhong to find him for diagnosis and treatment, and there were people to serve him when he ate and drank, in addition, Liu Qi could also walk freely, and there were no restrictions.
These all made Liu Qi very moved, at least, he was not monitored, he came and went freely, and he moved freely, and even a few times, Liu Qi really wanted to secretly escape back to Shouchun while people were unprepared, but in the end, he was dispelled.
Liu Qi didn't know whether it was Lu Zhuo's sincerity that moved him, or whether he had a premonition that Shouchun would not be able to hold on sooner or later, or whether it was the lord of Jingzhou promised by Lu Zhuo that moved his heart.
…………
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yu is dead!"
On this day, Liu Xie was reviewing the chapter in the palace, and walked in in a hurry.
"Zhang Yu?"
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, when the hundred officials were sent to Xudu by Cao Cao, Zhang Yu did not come with him.
Liu Xie glanced at him, vaguely guessed something, and hurriedly asked, "Should he be going to assassinate Cao Cao?" ”
Fu Wan nodded, "Your Majesty is wise, Zhang Yu did this, but before he got close, he was arrested by Xu Chu." ”
Liu Xie's mood is obviously a little low, Zhang Yu has been following him, last time Guo Jia replaced him with Liu Ping, Zhang Yu blamed himself very much, he wanted to die, Liu Xie didn't blame him, he didn't expect that he really dared to assassinate Cao Cao.
Seeing that there was no one around, Fu Wan leaned forward a little, lowered his voice and said with a resentful expression, "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, these powerful ministers monopolized the dynasty in the past, and they didn't even have His Majesty in their eyes, they all died innocently, even the current general, why not the next Dong Zhuo Cao Cao?" Your Majesty, you must be guarded against, you are the lord of the day, only by controlling everything in your own hands can you not be at the mercy of others, and there is hope for the revival of the Han family. ”
Liu Xie glared at him fiercely, and shouted, "Presumptuous, Hugh is talking nonsense!" ”
After kneeling on the ground, he continued earnestly "Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal to you, even if you want to kill the old minister, the old minister must have the courage to advise, although Lu Zhuo is much more tolerant to His Majesty, and his approach is far more merciful than Cao Cao Dong Zhuo, but His Majesty should be more careful, according to the old minister's opinion, this is exactly what Lu Zhuo is clever, he is deliberately using His Majesty, if he really wants to be a loyal minister who has been passed down through the ages, why not hand over all the military power and leave him, Your Majesty can really take charge of himself and become the co-master of the world." ”
Liu Xie saw that Fu Wan was talking endlessly, and he became more and more annoyed in his heart, "Fu Wan, are you drunk?" Without Lu Zhuo, it would be difficult for me to even go out of my own dormitory, which of you people was not monitored by Cao Cao, even if I was the son of today, I also knew how to drink water and think of the source, if there was no Lu Zhuo, there would be no me today, what you said is light, let Lu Zhuo hand over the military power, then I came to ask you, who will lead the troops? It's you? Or am I? ”
When he thought of Lu Zhuo's troops, he raised his arms and shouted, and 10,000 people responded, and the earth-shattering battle still echoed in Liu Xie's mind from time to time.
Liu Xie is both respectful and grateful to Lu Zhuo, and similarly, he also has a little more fear, this fear is not because Lu Zhuo has done disrespectful things to him, but because Lu Zhuo is deeply supported by the soldiers, it is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zhuo is the real master of this Xu Du, whether Liu Xie admits it or not, he is exposed to Lu Zhuo's light, so that he can enjoy the shade under the big tree.
