"Why? Why can't my father welcome the Son of Heaven? Without waiting for Liu Biao to speak, Liu Qi preemptively asked back, and his emotions were still a little excited.

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue said with a solemn expression: "Welcoming the Son of Heaven, saying that it sounds good is welcome, but in the eyes of outsiders, saying that it is unpleasant is to hold the Son of Heaven hostage." ”

Hearing the word "Son of Heaven", Liu Biao frowned.

Kuai Yue continued: "You don't see the last person who held the Son of Heaven hostage, Dong Zhuo, is now notorious and has become the public enemy of the world's corporals, how many people want to put him to death, this Chang'an Mutiny, it was almost killed, doesn't the lord take it as a lesson?" ”

Kuai Yue's eyes looked at Liu Biao, full of vigilance.

"Welcoming the Son of Heaven is indeed easy to be slandered and become the target of public criticism." Liu Biao nodded and sighed, motioning for him to continue.

Kuai Yue continued: "Obviously, the Son of Heaven has become a hot potato, if the lord is in his hands, Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong will not have to say it, he will fight desperately to take it back one day." ”

"There is also Yuan Shu who was driven to the Yuyang area, this thief is extremely ambitious, I am afraid that he will immediately make a comeback to Nanyang and compete with the lord for the Son of Heaven."

"These two groups of people are fierce rivals, not counting Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Yuan Shao of Jizhou, do you feel that they will watch the lord welcome the Son of Heaven and be indifferent?"

Kuai Yue's analysis won the approval of many people present, and they nodded their heads for a while.

Kuai Yue finally said: "When so many strong enemies come to fight for the Son of Heaven, my Jingzhou has just restored peace, I am afraid that it will be poisoned by the war again, I don't know how many villagers and fathers, to be displaced, the family is ruined, the lord is a merciful lord, how can he bear to watch his people under his rule, suffer some calamities?" ”

Liu Biao's body was shocked, and the trace of blood flame in Shicai's eyes was finally completely extinguished.

Even Kuai Liang, who advocated welcoming the Son of Heaven, was silent at this time, and did not object to his brother's generous statement.

At this time, Liu Qi couldn't help but say: "Kuai Yidu's words are wrong, my father is a member of the Han family, and it is my father's bounden duty to welcome the Son of Heaven, and it is my father's duty to support the Han family. ”

Liu Qi hoped that a generous and righteous seat could arouse Liu Biao's ambitions, but this time, there was no trace of burning blood in Liu Biao's eyes.

The corners of Kuai Yue's mouth raised a slight contempt, and sneered: "The ambition of the eldest prince is ambitious, but it is a little unrealistic, I think that Dong Zhuo will hold the strongest Xiliang army in the world, and he was forced to move the capital to Chang'an by the princes, and now he has lost the Son of Heaven, and he is still injured, even Dong Zhuo's strength can't control the Son of Heaven, the eldest prince feels, with the strength of our Jingzhou, can we keep the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Kuai Yidu, you are too unconfident in what you say, our Jingzhou is a big state in the world, and the soldiers have enough food and grass, why can't we keep the Son of Heaven?" Liu Qi asked unhappily.

"We are not short of soldiers and horses, we are not short of grain and grass, but what we lack is a fierce general who can fight well. Kuai Yue replied with a rhetorical question, and the last sentence even revealed a hint of contempt.

Liu Qi was choked and speechless for a while.

The atmosphere in the lobby was filled with a little * smell for a while.

At this time, Liu Biao saw that something was wrong, so he brushed his hands and said: "Today's deliberations, let's end here, let the government consider it and make a decision." ”

Liu Biao didn't want to talk about it anymore, so everyone had to get up and leave, but only Liu Qi stayed.

There were no outsiders in the church, only their father and son.

Liu Qi lowered his voice and said: "That Kuai Yue stopped his father from welcoming the Son of Heaven, it was nothing more than that he didn't want Jingzhou to attract foreign enemies to invade, and when the war happened, it would damage the industrial interests of his Kuai clan, he was just thinking about his family's interests, not for his father's future at all, how could his father listen to him." ”

"Dali? What big profit? Liu Biao's emotions were still not mobilized.

Liu Qi glanced around, saw that there were no ears and eyes, and then said: "Back then, Emperor Guangwu raised troops in Nanyang, and finally achieved the merit of Zhongxing, and now my father is Jingzhou Mu, Nanyang happens to be a county under my father's rule, and the Son of Heaven happens to appear in Nanyang, isn't this a kind of omen that God gave to my father!" ”

"What do you want to say?" Liu Biao's brows furrowed.

Liu Qi said excitedly: "Doesn't my father want to take this opportunity to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty again and become the second Guangwu Emperor?" ”

The second Guangwu Emperor!

Liu Biao's expression was shocked, and his eyes finally had a hint of emotion.

How could he not understand what his son said, Liu Qi wanted him to use the banner of the Son of Heaven to sweep away the heroes, dominate the world, and let the Han Empire flourish again.

Then, he can kick out Liu Xie's puppet son of heaven, ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Han Dynasty alongside Emperor Guangwu.

"If my father can achieve this great cause, on the history books, he will be the first emperor of the ages who is as famous as Gaozu, Emperor Wu, and Emperor Guangwu, and he will be remembered for all generations."

Liu Xie threw out an even bigger temptation.

Liu Biao was only slightly moved, and was not as ambitious as Liu Qi expected.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Biao sighed: "How can you be a father, dare to try to compare with Emperor Guangwu, for your father, I just want to keep one side of the peace and be a loyal minister who guards the territory for the Han Dynasty. ”

"Father-" Liu Qi didn't want Liu Biao to be so ambitious, and he was suddenly disappointed in his heart, but he was still unwilling, and wanted to persuade him again.

"Alright, you don't have to say anything more!"

Liu Biao interrupted him with a flick of his hand, and said in a resolute tone: "My father's heart has already told you, no one can think of changing, you have dispelled this idea as soon as possible, from now on, I don't want to hear you say such things again, you go down." ”

Liu Qi was choked with a gray nose, but he had no choice but to sigh secretly and retreat.

……

Within a few days, the news of the Son of Heaven's arrival in Nanyang soon spread all over the country, making it boiling and talking.

Liu Biao entertained Zubi with delicious food and drink for several days, but he never showed whether he was willing to obey his will and no longer send troops north.

Because he also needs to listen to a person's opinion.

This person is Huang Zu.

Huang Zu is the head of the Huang family, and he is the hero who killed Sun Jian, and now he is guarding Jiangxia, holding the most elite army of 40,000 in Jingzhou, fame and power, and his status in Liu Biao's mind, naturally above Cai Mao and the Kuai brothers.

The Son of Heaven is in Nanyang, how could Liu Biao make a decision without listening to Huang Zu's opinions, isn't it obvious that he doesn't attach importance to Huang Zu, which causes Huang Zu's dissatisfaction.

And I did not realize that ten days had passed.

On that day, Zu Bi, who had been staying for a long time, was impatient with staying in Xiangyang, and proposed to return to Wancheng and ask Liu Biao to give an answer as soon as possible.

Liu Biao had to convene the civil and military forces again in the hall, and he had to discuss a countermeasure.

Just as the discussion began, the guards outside came to report, saying that Huang Jie, the eldest son of the Huang family, had entered the house and was waiting to see him outside.

Liu Biao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Huang Biao is here, he must have brought his father's opinion, and he will be passed on quickly." ”

After a while, Huang Jie entered with his head held high, and the two sides made a courtesy to each other and exchanged politeness.

As soon as Huang Jiefang sat down, Liu Biao couldn't wait to ask: "The edict of the Son of Heaven, the opinions of all the civil and military consultations, Huang Chengzong knows it, what is his opinion?" ”

Huang Jie arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, my father already knows, what my father means is that no matter whether the lord is going to serve the Son of Heaven or not, there is one thing that must be done." ”

"What?"

"Kill Su Zhe!"
