Zhuge Liang saw that the situation in the field was completely controlled by Liu Bei, after Kuai Yue chose to take refuge, he breathed a sigh of relief, planning such an important matter, as long as there is a slight mistake in the middle, it is possible to lose everything, the reason why the Jingzhou army is so easy to subdue Liu Bei is because Liu Bei killed Cai Mao with lightning speed, and then shocked the generals in the army.

After getting the Jingzhou army, Liu Bei, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, controlled the Jingzhou army at a very fast speed.

Jingzhou, in the Xiangyang Palace, Liu Biao, who was lying on the sickbed, received the news that the Jingzhou army had no choice but to withdraw from Hedong, and the will that supported him to continue to live collapsed instantly, and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood, but the imperial doctor who heard the news was helpless and died.

Until his death, Liu Biao never revealed the candidate for the crown prince, perhaps because he knew who would inherit the unification.

Liu Biao is naturally clear about everything in Jingzhou, and if Liu Cong is confirmed, Liu Qi will inevitably die.

Liu Biao's death brought great turmoil to Jingzhou at this time, mainly because the heir was not determined, and the hundred officials in the court did not know who to serve.

Cai stood up at this time, although it was a woman, but no one dared to underestimate it in the court, mainly because the Cai family behind Cai was too large, and Cai Mao was the main general in the Jingzhou army at this time, and many officials were ready to support Liu Cong as the new emperor after Cai Mao returned to the army.

Cai Mao has indeed attracted a lot of officials in Jingzhou over the years, and many officials have acquiesced to Cai's actions.

However, the next day, when Cai again mentioned letting Liu Cong inherit the unification and command the world, Kuai Liang, who had been silent, stood up and expressed his opposition.

"Since ancient times, the elder does not stand the young, and the eldest prince Liu Qi should be the candidate to inherit the unification." Kuai Liang said in a deep voice.

Kuai Liang's words made many officials who stood in the camp of the Kuai family look pensive, and in their impression, Kuai Liang has always been a relatively stable person, rarely making wrong judgments, and Liu Biao was also extremely dependent on Kuai Liang when he was there.

Cai Shi said coldly: "The first emperor was quite fond of the little prince Liu Cong, and he didn't want to suddenly drive the crane west, and he couldn't leave a word, Liu Cong has been smart since he was a child, but the eldest prince Liu Qi is a loss in virtue, how can such a person become the lord of the world." ”

Originally, Cai's plan was to secretly forge Liu Biao's edict, so as to support Liu Cong to become the emperor, Kuailiang held opposing opinions at this time, so that Cai's had to be cautious, Kuailiang has a high prestige among the hundred officials, if Kuailiang is against it, it is difficult to succeed.

Kuai Liang retorted: "At that time, the eldest prince was young, but the eldest prince made great improvements after mentioning the points of the saint, and these excuses are not enough to be the reason for the little prince to inherit the unification, since the first emperor did not leave an edict, he should act in accordance with the law of the ancestors." ”

Originally, it was agreed that Liu Cong would inherit the throne, but it became a contest between the Kuai family and the Cai family in the court, the Jingzhou Han family, said to be a hundred civil and military officials, in fact, they were still the original civil and military generals in Jingzhou, but after Liu Biao became the emperor, their status also rose, in their bones, they were still in the small circle of Jingzhou, and more often, they considered the interests of the family.

If Kuai Liang supports Liu Cong to become the emperor, these families will definitely echo it, and the power of the Cai family and the Kuai family to unite is not something they can shake, and now the Kuai family and the Cai family have a huge conflict over the heir to the throne, so they have to think carefully.

Kong Rong coughed lightly, walked out, and said in a deep voice: "In the opinion of this official, it is the same as Lord Kuailiang, supporting Liu Qi to become the Son of Heaven, and the Han family is weak, and it is impossible to abolish the law of the ancestors." ”

Kong Rong's weight is not heavy, it is the descendants of Confucius, the emperors of the past dynasties are also courteous to the descendants of the Confucian family, Kong Rong expressed his position at this time, representing the power of the literati, at this point, no one dares to deny it at this time.

After the bead curtain, Cai's expression became more and more gloomy, he didn't expect that things would become like this, the Cai family discussed with the Kuai family, once the saint died, the candidate to inherit the unification must be Liu Cong, and in return, the Kuai family will get more benefits.

"At this time, it is not too late to negotiate after General Cai Mao returns to the army, General Cai Mao crusades against the rebel Lu Bu in the state, and he has made outstanding achievements, and he is the pillar of the Han Dynasty." Cai Shi Dao.

When the hundred officials in the hall heard this, their hearts moved, and the meaning of Cai's words was obvious, as long as Cai Mao led the army back to Jingzhou, who would dare to oppose Liu Cong's succession to the unification, and the Cai family with military power in hand was the most terrifying.

Kuai Liang snorted coldly: "As the queen mother, she interferes in court politics, could it be that the queen mother thinks that the majesty of the Han family doesn't care?" ”

Cai's complexion changed greatly, as a woman's fate of interfering in court politics, she naturally knew a thing or two, "Lord Kuai's words are serious, this palace just thinks that it is more secure to negotiate in the line after General Cai Mao returns to the army. ”

"General Cai Mao did unkind things in Hedong, and the generals in the army were angry, and now the lord of the Jingzhou army is Liu Bei and Liu Yuanjun." Kuai Liang said lightly.

This is also the reason why Kuai Liang supported Liu Qi to inherit the unification at such a critical moment, from the news that Kuai Yue came back, he felt the urgency of the matter, and now Jingzhou can no longer withstand the turmoil, if you support Liu Cong to become the emperor at this time, Liu Bei will support Liu Qi after returning to the army, and the consequences of the change of imperial power are unpredictable.

These words shook the hundred officials, and the reason why Kuai Liang suddenly supported Liu Qi as a candidate for succession was also shown in front of everyone at this moment, and Kuai Liang at this time expressed not only the attitude of the Kuai family, but also the attitude of Liu Bei, the actual controller of the Jingzhou Army.

Cai's face turned pale when he heard this, Cai Mao is the mainstay of the Cai family, once he loses the support of the army, the Cai family has even seen what the Cai family will look like in the future.

"Kuai Liang, Hugh has to talk nonsense here, General Cai Mao is the rebellious commander of the crusade appointed by the Holy Lord, and those who disobey General Cai Mao's orders in the Jingzhou army are the rebellion of the Han Dynasty." Cai's voice was a little shrill in disbelief.

Kuai Liang corrected: "What the Queen Mother said is true, and the words of the first emperor are also. ”

Cai's like a deflated ball, the originally straight waist collapsed in an instant, Liu Biao has now died and left, and the military power has fallen, the original Cai family's plan in Jingzhou was in danger because of Liu Bei and other figures.

"Liu Bei'er, don't die well!" Cai Shi muttered, the hatred for Liu Bei in his heart was incomprehensible, and he should have ignored Liu Biao's thoughts and killed Liu Bei directly when Liu Bei entered Xiangyang.
