Chapter 105: Li Ming's Gamble

"I heard that Ziyang is a member of the Han family, so in Ziyang's opinion, how should His Majesty in Chang'an evaluate it?" Seeing that Liu Ye was already planning to get to the point, Li Ming was not in a hurry, and asked Liu Ye directly.

"Your Majesty is a young man, high-spirited, there are two generals under his command, Sun Jian and Ma Teng, and there are countless famous ministers and fierce generals below, and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner!" Liu Ye didn't know why Li Ming asked that, he could only say the mainstream comments as a temptation.

"Your Majesty has a close minister named Shen Ye, this person has been His Majesty's hair since a long time ago, and he can be called a close minister. Although his status is not high, his influence on His Majesty is above that of other courtiers. The problem is, when the Imperial Association was sent to Chang'an, someone determined with their own eyes that Shen Ye planned to kill the Imperial Association to facilitate His Majesty's accession to the throne. Ziyang, do you think this is what Shen Ye means, or what His Majesty means? Li Ming asked with interest.

"There are always some ill-intentioned people in the world who try to pass on some negative news to smear His Majesty, and then achieve their ulterior motives. In Ziyang's view, He is nothing more than news from Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao. Liu Ye said indignantly.

"No, no, no, the problem is that I told you, but it was an existence that escaped from Chang'an and almost became the indirect murderer of the Prince's Association, tell me the situation! His name is Li Ru, and he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law! In fact, if Ziyang investigates, he will find that Li Ru and his entire family have committed suicide in fear of crime......" Li Ming looked at Liu Ye with a smile.

Liu Ye suddenly closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Then it can only be said that Your Majesty is bold!" Today's Han needs a bold and tough king to lead it to become strong! Riyao, this is a good opportunity, as long as you form an alliance and jointly attack with one east and one west, the world can be determined, and the Han can prosper! When the time comes, wouldn't it be beautiful for you to be waiting for the general? ”

Yes, for the sake of the big man, there are some things that can only be ignored! Besides, there is no point in caring, after all, it has already happened!

"I have to say that Liu Ting has the ruthlessness of Taizu. can directly execute his own brother, then in his eyes, the Han clan relatives are afraid that there is only the concept of 'can be used' and 'can't be used'. As for a courtier like me, I'm afraid it's also to the extent that I lose it when I use it. With such a king, I don't feel safe at all! Besides, there is Shen Ye by his side, that guy doesn't know why he always has malice towards me, with him, a minister, I am loyal to Liu Ting, and a few lives are not enough to compensate! Li Ming unconsciously no longer called Liu Ting His Majesty, and his ambition seemed to have been exposed in front of Liu Ye.

Liu Ye didn't expect that Li Ming would expose his ambitions so unabashedly, but he was surprised but had to admit that the Son of Heaven had a cold heart, which was indeed chilling.

"Don't talk about that, I heard that in addition to Ziyang's ability to govern, he also has good talents for craftsmanship and military strategy. In Ziyang's view, if the situation is going in what direction today? Needless to say, I want to hear your opinion. Li Ming looked at Liu Ye.

"Although the Son of Heaven has a cold heart, he has clear rewards and punishments, and he is wise and resolute. The only way to face such a situation is to make another alliance. It is estimated that Yuan Shao will like to do that very much, especially since he has an identity as an alliance leader to take advantage of.

This battle is the key, with the current situation in Guanzhong, this war only needs to last for a year, even if there is no way to break through Hangu Pass, it can force His Majesty to cut off food and grass, and the whole army will be defeated. I think His Majesty will also take this factor into account, so Ziyang seems that His Majesty is afraid that he will attack Yizhou......" Speaking of this, Liu Ye didn't want to go on.

Obviously, Liu Ye knows very well that Liu Ting is afraid that he will really attack Liu Yan, and he needs Yizhou as his backing to dominate the world.

Among them, it can only be said that Liu Yan died, and since he served as the pastor of Yizhou, he has also violated the orders of the imperial court many times. Although he has donated money and food many times, compared with the output of Bashu, this money and food is not enough at all. Since Liu Yan doesn't care about the face of the monarch and ministers, it doesn't seem to be a strange thing even if Chengdu is attacked by Liu Ting one day.

I hope that when the time comes, Liu Ting will be able to treat Liu Yan's children well, so that at least he can show that he is a little humane.

"If Liu Ting does that, Liu Yu in Youzhou, Liu Dai in Yanzhou and Liu Biao in Jingzhou will be completely disappointed in him. But if you don't do that, the result will be that the princes of the alliance will attack Guanzhong. Of course, Shen Ye will die, and he can only be a puppet obediently. The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and the Han Dynasty has existed for 400 years, and if it is turbulent today, it is only a matter of time before the dynasty changes. Li Ming looked at Liu Ye, "If you wait for the Han clan relatives, I'm afraid that life won't be easy when the time comes." ”

"Riyao's ambition is not small, but you just made me believe that you are not a puppet supported by the Yue people. Isn't this statement just a reversal of what you said before? Liu Ye didn't rush to answer, just looked at Li Ming playfully.

"Regardless of who I am, I still believe in Chinese nationalism, and that will not change. Ziyang, you should be alarmist, don't you plan to gamble? Bet on whether Liu Ting can prosper the Han Dynasty, or the princes of the world, or even I can dominate the world? Li Ming pointed at himself.

"What's in it for me with this gamble?" Liu Ye felt that this gambling made sense.

"If you don't join my command, then in the future, if I win the world, I will kill the last man of the Liu family!" Li Ming said slowly, without a trace of emotion, "If you join me, then at least I will keep you!" ”

"Aren't you afraid of falling into the impression of being brutal and unkind?" Liu Ye raised his eyebrows.

"It's not surprising that I do anything to the descendants of the Liu family, right? Ziyang, I might as well tell you that my ancestor's surname is Xiang! Hui Ji Yu, can testify for me! Li Ming's eyes narrowed.

"You are actually ......" Liu Ye jumped up directly, he knew Li Ming's identity for the first time.

"The Chu-Han hegemony has started again!" Li Ming stood up slowly, "But I don't have any impression of the Xiang family, so I don't plan to change my surname back." But what I say to you, I mean it! Even if Ziyang thinks about the Liu family, he should think about the gamble I gave! By the way, if you can truly give your loyalty, then I will also believe in you unreservedly and reuse you, this I can swear to the heavens and the ancestors! ”

"I still have a choice...... Liu Ye sighed and got up slowly, "My subordinates meet the lord!" ”

"Haha...... Trust me, you won't regret your choice today! Li Ming came up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

At this moment, what else can Liu Ye say? I only hope that I have made no mistakes in my choice today...... He had already guessed that Li Ming would come to recruit him, and even show his ambitions. It's just that I didn't expect him to not only have this ambition, but his true identity is so powerful.

"The lord is not afraid, Your Majesty will attack you with this?" Liu Ye asked.

"My surname is Li Buxiang, even if Liu Ting has the ability to reach the sky, can he still let me change my surname? As for the original former ministers of the Chu State, they are loyal to my bloodline, not to my surname, and it doesn't matter to them whether they change their names or not. Li Ming said with a smile, of course he had already communicated with the Yu family and others about this kind of thing.

"Since the lord already has a complete strategy, Ziyang is too worried......" Liu Ye sighed and replied.
