Luoyang, Guanglu Xunfu.

After Wu Shuo left, Liu Bei held the edict in his hand with a complicated expression.

After a while, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei strode in and clasped their fists together: "Big brother." ”

Liu Bei nodded and motioned for the two to sit down.

Guan Yu found that Liu Bei's rare expression was uncertain, and immediately asked in a deep voice: "Big brother, I don't know what is important when you summon it in such a hurry?" ”

Liu Bei did not speak, but handed the edict in his hand to Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also came over to read it.

Seeing this, the faces of the two changed greatly.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "This thief emperor dares to harm the fourth brother!" ”

Guan Yu's face turned cold, Danfeng's eyes contained a look of disbelief, and he was even more angry, and snorted: "Faint Jun!" The fourth brother is outside to quell the chaos for the Han Dynasty, but the Son of Heaven is doing harm behind his back, which is really chilling! ”

Although the two of them are proud people and are not easy to make friends, they have not yet said anything about Zhang Liao, the fourth brother, in terms of force, Zhang Liao is not inferior to them, and in terms of military achievements, Zhang Liao was promoted from a small military marquis to the general of the dynasty, pacified the land of several states, exterminated Baibo, Montenegro, and Xiongnu, and repelled Qianghu, so that they could not reach them after running for more than ten years and still achieved nothing.

And in the past two years, they have seen with their own eyes the ability of the fourth brother in the government, Zhang Fei respects the gentleman, Zhang Liao's achievements in the study of the world are admired and respected, in addition to the Daxing school, printing books, he wrote the three-character classic and the thousand-character text as enlightenment, becoming countless children's mouth reading aloud, the imperial examination system is a precedent. Guan Yu loves people, and Zhang Liao's ruling focus is on people's livelihood, with innovations in clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and has become the ancestor of many industries, which makes Guan Yu admire.

Not to mention, Zhang Liao is very good to their three brothers, after they arrived in Luoyang, Liu Bei successively served as the left general, the rear general, above the Jiuqing, and at the same time served as Guangluxun, one of the most powerful positions in the Jiuqing, in charge of the palace portal, in charge of all kinds of Lang officials, the subordinates are extremely large, there are Guanglu Xuncheng, Wuguan Zhonglang General, Zuo Zhonglang General, Right Zhonglang General, Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, Yulin Zhonglang General, Fengche Du Lieutenant, Horse Du Lieutenant, Riding Du Lieutenant, Guanglu Doctor, Taizhong Doctor, Zhongsan Doctor, Counseling Doctor, Discussion Lang, The confessor shoots and is extremely powerful. Guan Yu is not bad, serving as the general of the Tiger Ben, which was an important position held by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers successively, and Zhang Fei is even the captain of the school, known as the Crouching Tiger.

The power of the three brothers is greater than that of Dong Cheng, the nominal General Zuo, and the three brothers who have been running around all the time can be described as rising to the top, which is the envy of countless people.

What's more, Zhang Liao also has great respect for today's son, and has never exceeded the slightest rule, making them even more respectful, because at this time, when they heard that the Son of Heaven actually wanted to seize Zhang Liao's authority, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were extremely angry.

"Big brother!" Zhang Fei said loudly: "It's better for my brother to rush into the palace and kill the faint king......"

"Third brother! Don't talk nonsense! Liu Bei's face changed greatly, and he scolded sharply.

He hurriedly got up, opened the door to check outside, closed the door again, looked at Zhang Fei, and said unhappily: "My brother raised troops, originally to support the Han family, and to uphold the righteousness of the world, why did the third brother make such a big rebellious remark?" If someone else hears about it, it will be a catastrophe in an instant. ”

Zhang Fei asked rhetorically: "Could it be that my brother wants to persecute the fourth brother like the emperor?" I can't! ”

Guan Yu also nodded firmly.

Liu Bei's eyes lowered slightly, and he sighed: "Naturally, you can't harm the fourth brother, but it's difficult to ......disobey the edict."

Guan Yu grabbed his long beard, twisted his thick eyebrows, thought about it, and said: "Big brother, you are Guangluxun, ranked Jiuqing, and Yide is the captain of Sili, which is also an important position. ”

Liu Bei sighed, shook his head and said: "It's useless to make a statement, Wen Yuan's authority is too heavy, this monarch is taboo, sooner or later there will be trouble, it is difficult to stop." ”

Liu Bei's vision is naturally not bad, Cao Cao can see it, he can also see it, Liu Xiefei, the son of heaven, is a monarch who is willing to be a puppet, and his struggle with Zhang Liao will be fierce sooner or later.

Guan Yu snorted: "If the Son of Heaven doesn't listen to the advice, my brother will hang up the seal and leave." ”

The authority of the Son of Heaven in the Han Dynasty was not as great as that of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, and there was no rule that the monarch called the ministers to die and the ministers had to die.

Listening to Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei glanced at him and was silent.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, but what?" Zhang Fei was impatient, wandering around the room angrily, stepping on the ground and making a loud noise: "Just listen to the second brother, it's better for my brother to leave now, so as not to be angry with those traitorous ministers!" When I arrived in Kanto, I would raise troops again......"

Liu Bei waved his hand to stop Zhang Fei, and his voice was solemn: "The big rebellion must not be done!" ”

"So what?"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask again.

Liu Bei glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty wants to cut the power of the general, Dong Cheng and others will be in it, at this time, my brother not only can not leave the Beijing Division, but must hold the military power, in order to fight for a glimmer of life for Wenyuan, if we leave, let Dong Cheng and others act recklessly, Wenyuan's relatives, as well as those loyal ministers and righteous people will be persecuted, this party is unjust." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both looked at Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei said happily: "Could it be that the eldest brother is going to raise troops to destroy Dong Cheng?" So it is just right. ”

Liu Bei still shook his head: "Behind Dong Cheng is Your Majesty, at this time, we can only comply with Your Majesty's edict, help Your Majesty control the palace ban and the Beijing Division, and be more able to balance Dong Cheng, if he wants to harm Wen Yuan, we can fight against it if we have military power in hand." ”

Zhang Fei's brows relaxed: "It's so good, if Dong Cheng is harmful, I will stab him to death with a spear!" ”

Guan Yu was silent, and suddenly asked again: "Dong Chengnai is the uncle of the country, and now that Dong Guiren is pregnant with the dragon seed, he is a saint, I am afraid that His Majesty will be biased towards him, and then take away the military power of our army like dealing with the fourth brother." ”

Liu Bei's eyes were resolute: "If this is the case, my brother will leave the Jingshi." ”

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "You can secretly send a letter to the fourth brother first." ”

Liu Bei sighed: "It's too late, the edict at dusk is under the party, and I have to act tonight, and I don't know where the fourth brother is now." ”

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "The fourth brother can't receive letters outside, but we have to protect his family." ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, his support for his family has always lagged behind, at this time, he heard Guan Yu mention it, thought about it, nodded and said: "Yes, but you have to act in secret, don't let people find out." ”

After a short time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei quickly left, to settle everything and prepare for this impending storm.

After the two left, Liu Bei sat there, silent for a long time, it was almost dusk, and his expression in the shadows was incomprehensible.

Guan Yu returned to the mansion and immediately instructed his eldest son Guan Ping to secretly bring his cronies to be on call at any time, ready to protect Zhang Liao's family at night, and his Danfeng eyes were a little gloomy.

The Son of Heaven plotted against Zhang Liao, and his brother Liu Bei Ming chose to stand on the side of the Son of Heaven, although Liu Bei's reason was very reasonable, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, because no matter what the reason, Liu Bei, Guangluxun, who was a brother and sister to the general, stood on the side of the Son of Heaven, and the blow to Zhang Liao was the greatest, both emotionally and famously.

The courtiers and the common people would think that even the general's brother supported the Son of Heaven in plotting against him, then he must be problematic, or at least incompetent......

Guan Yu knew that Liu Bei had always had great ambitions, and this time was also an opportunity for Liu Bei himself, and he didn't dare to think about how much Liu Bei's choice was for Zhang Liao.

In fact, he didn't think much about it before, but after the edict of the Son of Heaven was issued, Liu Bei didn't even think about informing Zhang Liao, especially not thinking about protecting Zhang Liao's family, which made him have a shadow in his heart.

He had considered a problem a long time ago, among the four brothers, it was Zhang Liao, the fourth brother, who was the most powerful, and the three of them relied on Zhang Liao's door, Guan Yu himself had inherited Zhang Liao's kindness, and he had no opinion in his heart, Zhang Fei's personality was very arrogant, and he wouldn't think much about it, but his brother Liu Bei had great ambitions, whether he was willing to succumb to Zhang Liao's door, this Guan Yu himself did not dare to judge.

Now that a storm is coming, what will be the result after this storm, Guan Yu only has a pain and heaviness in his heart.
