The news that Gao Shun wanted to ascend the throne spread very quickly, and the news had just started for the trial, and the news had reached Jiangnan.

The most nervous are Guo Yan and others, if Gao Shun ascends the throne, they will be driven out and killed; With such a strong strength, how could Gao Shun tolerate the existence of other forces?

When those court officials heard the news, they just cried secretly at home, but no one dared to tell Liu Xie.

In fact, after Liu Xie sent the child away, he was ready to die; can live for so long, compared to Liu Wei, he is lucky; Now he is in a good mood, he eats when he should eat, drinks when he should drink, and earns an extra day.

Many ministers couldn't hold it back, so they asked You Heng to find out.

However, You Heng did not go north for many years, nor did he receive a letter from the Duke of Wei's mansion, and he did not know the details; Besides, Gao Shun doesn't have to negotiate with him for this kind of thing.

Unable to get a final answer, those ministers suffered in pain all day long, including Guo Yan and others.

waited for two months before arriving in Changsha City; The mood of the crowd became even more nervous.

He was accommodated in a barracks south of the city, because he did not come alone, but with a large escort and convoy; The carriage was filled with gifts for the emperor and the people.

As soon as he settled down, You Heng came in a hurry, wanting to take the trial and go to his house to rest, after all, the conditions at home were better than those in the barracks; Although You Heng is arrogant and looks down on such people, he is from a big family, and he is relatively close.

The trial refused, and he still lived in the barracks casually and safely; You Heng invited the judge to his house as a guest; The review should be refreshing.

You Heng didn't invite outsiders either, and the two had a brief meeting after dinner.

The judge did not shy away from Youheng, and simply communicated with Youheng to discuss the process and strategy.

You Heng did not dislike Gao Shun's desire to be the emperor, and after Gao Shun became the emperor, the world stabilized, which was the blessing of the people; Some scholars also hope that Gao Shun will be the emperor, in that case, the threat of the scholars to Gao Shun will be reduced, and Gao Shun will not have to suppress the scholars so much.

After thinking about it for a while, he suggested that the trial should not be in a hurry, live in Changsha City for a few days, visit each other, and send out the gifts that should be given first, so as to ease the atmosphere; Otherwise, talking about Zen concessions as soon as you come up is really nervous and disgusting, and it is easy to be self-defeating, and the effect is counterproductive.

The review adopted your suggestion.

For this trial, Gao Shun prepared for him in addition to fine wine, but also sugar that has not yet been put on the market, that is, brown sugar boiled by the local method, which is a rare treasure in this era.

Previously, he had been sent to the imperial court many times, and the most contacts were Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others, and they were no strangers to Liu Yu, Huang Wan, Fu Wan and others, but after the imperial court moved south, they had little contact.

In the next few days, the judge first sent the gifts to the emperor and the ministers.

The ministers will generally take the opportunity to pay a return visit, and set up a banquet to entertain them, and they come and go, and sure enough, as You Heng thought, everyone is no longer nervous.

The trial also took the opportunity to reveal information, and the reunification of the world is the trend of the times, otherwise just raising so many officers and soldiers would be a heavy burden on the people.

Everyone heard the meaning of the words of the trial, and it was indeed as rumored that the trial was coming to force the palace.

When the news broke, the atmosphere in Changsha City became tense again.

The trial adopted You Heng's suggestion and specially invited Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Guo Yan first asked, "Mr. Xian, I don't know how Duke Wei wants to treat us?" ”

The judge said, "What are the plans of those two?" ”

Guo Yan said: "But seek to end up in your hometown!" ”

The judge comforted: "Haha, this matter is easy to hear! Zhang Ji, Lu Bu, Hu Zhen and others are Zhonglang generals, Zhang Xiu is too guarded, how can Duke Wei not tolerate two? ”

The two were shocked: "Zhang Ji, Hu Zhen and the others are still alive." ”

"Haha, alive, and alive well."

After receiving a clear answer, Guo Yan and the two were relieved.

The next step is to negotiate with the court and the emperor, which is also the most difficult part; At this time, You Heng called himself sick and thanked the guest; The judge understands that you cherish your feathers and do not want to be contaminated with sewage.

And the one who really fell ill was Taifu Liu Yu, who was more than seventy years old at this time, and when he learned that the trial had come to force the emperor to take the throne, the anger in his heart was difficult to dissolve, so he fell ill in bed.

The trial relatives went to visit.

After a few days of not seeing him, Liu Yu looked even older, his beard and hair were white, his hands were like dry wood, his cheeks were fleshless, his eyes were godless, and he looked like he was running out of oil.

The judge wanted to comfort him, but Liu Yu only knew how to talk to himself, and couldn't hear what outsiders said; The review had to be returned.

The same is true for others to visit.

Three days later, the news of Liu Yu's death came from illness, and he was relieved that the court did not die in front of him.

In order to hold Liu Yu's funeral, the negotiation had to be postponed.

Emperor Liu Xie was bitter about Liu Yu's death, and there were few people left in the world who were loyal to him.

But You Heng could not continue to pretend to be sick and had to participate in the negotiations after that.

The people in charge of the court are Huang Wan and Fu Wan, who are hardcore loyalists and the biggest resistance.

You Heng and the trial match bypassed the two of them and directly found Liu Xie to coerce.

Liu Xiedao: "I live in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, ignore the affairs of the Central Plains, the imperial court exists in name only, and does not interfere in the affairs of the Duke of Wei, can't I still tolerate the Duke of Wei?" ”

The judge said: "Your Majesty, the existence of the imperial court has made many loyal people have illusions, and they can't be at ease with the current situation and choose the opportunity to move, so there are a large number of garrisons around the arrangement, these troops cost a lot of money, and the money and food come from the people, for the sake of the world, Duke Wei has to do so." ”

Liu Xie said again: "Duke Wei once promised the first emperor not to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, if so, wouldn't he lose his trust in the people of the world?" ”

The judge said bluntly: "Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to take the initiative to propose the matter of Zen concession." ”

Liu Xie thought to himself, it was really shameless, and said angrily: "Then let the Duke of Wei send soldiers and horses, as long as I am removed, he can be the emperor!" ”

The judge threatened: "Your Majesty, why send troops? Just a hint from the minister, I believe that Guo Yan and Li Dao will do it for you. ”

Liu Xie suddenly realized that Gao Shun had kept Guo Yan and others for so many years, and it turned out to be this purpose; They are at the end of their rope, and it is easy to get rid of them as long as they give hope; After that, Gao Shun sent Guo Yan and others out under the banner of avenging the imperial court, and he gained fame and fortune.

In this way, not only did the emperor Liu Xie get rid of him, but Gao Shun could also justifiably ascend the throne.

He had to admire that Gao Shun looked at the long term, was ruthless enough, and comprehensive enough.

Liu Xie's face instantly turned pale, and without Liu Yu, he felt even more helpless, like a lonely boat drifting in the river and unable to dock, not knowing where to drift.

The judge felt that his words were too out of line, so he comforted: "Duke Wei is kind, and he can't bear to treat the people, how can it be unfavorable to His Majesty?" Duke Wei did not harm His Majesty at any time. ”

Liu Xie eased his breath and asked, "How does Duke Wei want to treat me?" ”

The trial was overjoyed, and Liu Xie's question proved that he had compromised in his heart, and his threat worked.
