Chapter 258 The second debate is the battle of Confucianism, and Zhou Gongjin meets Zhuge at the beginning

Besides, Liu Biao and others already knew that there were two emperors in the world.

The people under his command each played their own little Jiujiu, and they persuaded Liu Biao one after another, and naturally they were divided into two factions. One faction advocated self-establishment as the king, with Cai Mao as the leader, and the Bagu and Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang brothers were all on his side; The other faction is led by Chen Xiang, advocating to wait and see the changes, first show weakness to Liu Bei, the so-called idea of relying on big trees to enjoy the shade.

Originally, Liu Biao himself didn't want to tear his face with Liu Bei, and he also wanted to be attached to Liu Bei's protection, so as to preserve his own vein in this troubled world.

It's just that Cai Mao, Bagu and Kuai Yue brothers represent several major valves in Jingzhou, so that Liu Biao has no scruples about their power.

Therefore, Liu Biao has been hesitating in his heart.

At this time, the princes in various places had different hearts, and the ministers and generals gathered in front of their main seats to lobby the lord to establish himself as the king and take advantage of the situation to rise.

The desire to be the king and the hegemon, since the princes everywhere hidden in the depths of their hearts, finally broke out at this time. What no one expected was that the first to jump out and claim the king was Jiaozhou Shixie, who was the capital of Jiaozhi and claimed to be the king of Hainan.

Then, Jiangdong Sun Quan stationed in Wu County, called King Wu, and sent an envoy to Liu Bei to ask for a seal; Han Sui stationed in Wuwei and was called the King of Beiliang; Ma Teng was stationed in Liangzhou and was called the King of Xiliang; Zhang Lu was stationed in Hanzhong and proclaimed himself the king of Hanzhong.

Only Xichuan Liu Zhang, Jingzhou Liu Biao and Bingzhou Yuan Tan are still hesitating.

Let's say that after Emperor Zhangwu ascended the throne, Cao Cao also raised a fake prince to ascend the throne, making the two emperors coexist. The princes took the opportunity to support their own troops and claim the throne, and the situation in the world once again appeared in the situation of the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period competing for hegemony.

His Royal Highness's ministers led by Xu Shu, Chen Gong, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong proposed to Emperor Zhangwu to accept the imperial family and connect with the close ministers.

Liu Bei sent the general Zhang Ji to Yizhou, and the generals Gao Huai and Gao Ping to Bingzhou.

Only the Jingzhou candidate was dissented among the ministers.

The Imperial History Observatory discussed Cao Liu Yuan to ask for an order.

This Liu Yuan is not an ordinary person, and in the past, he was also one of the second debates under Kong Rong in Beihai. Famous and famous.

However, which of the Kuaiyue brothers in Jingzhou and the eight Gu people is a person who is light?

Many ministers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yushitai and Guangluxun saw him receive the holy decree, and they all knew that he was good at arguing, and they all thought that he could. And Cao Zuo Chengzu, who is also one of the two debates in Beihai, also asked the Son of Heaven for a decree and went with Liu Yuan.

The two of them rode to the Jingzhou territory, but they were blocked by Cai Mao's sentry horses.

The person at the head is not someone else, it is none other than Zongci Zongzishou, one of the Eight Gus.

"Among the chariots and horses, is it the messenger of the chariot general?" Zong Ci asked loudly.

"General Che Cavalry? Don't you know that the general has ascended the throne? A very stern voice came from inside the car.

"In a poor and remote country, the news is blocked, and we are lonely and unheard, and I really don't know that the general has been listed for the ceremony! Sins, sins, sins! Zong Ci said without blushing and without a beat.

At this time, the car door had been opened, and two people walked out of the car, it was Zuo Chengzu and Liu Yuan.

Zuo Chengzu walked up to Zong Ci and asked, "Dare to ask what this adult is called?" ”

"In the next Zongci, the word is longevity. Liu Jingzhou sat in front of Cao. ”

"It turned out to be one of the eight Gu Zong's sons, who has been admired for a long time!" Liu Yuan, who was behind, walked up and saluted slightly, then his face changed, and he scolded angrily, "The first emperor is in trouble, Your Majesty ascended the throne, and announced to the world, how dare you say that you don't know?" Are you convicted of sin? ”

"...... this?" Zong Ci was speechless for a while, and he was speechless.

Seeing Zong Ci like this, a person stood up behind him and said loudly: "It turned out that an angel arrived, no wonder it was so!" It's Zishou abrupt! I'm here to make amends for him! ”

"That's it! I'm here to see Liu Jingzhou, and I'll reveal the matter for the time being! Zuo Chengzu waved his hand and asked casually, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

"Under Zhai Chao."

"It turned out to be one of the eight. Words really know the measure! ”

Without saying a word all the way, they came to Jingzhou.

Zuo Chengzu and Liu Yuan knew that there was still a group of difficult people waiting for them in the Jingzhou Hall, and an unusually inevitable war of words was waiting for them.

Jingzhou Baji, Bagu, Cai Mao, Kuai brothers...... Almost all the well-known figures in Jingzhou were waiting in the hall.

Zuo Chengzu and Liu Yuan walked in side by side, came to the hall, and saluted Liu Biao: "I've seen Liu Jingzhou." ”

didn't wait for Liu Biao to speak, but saw Cai Mao take the lead, came to the two of them and asked: "Mao has something unclear, I wonder if the two gentlemen can solve their doubts?" ”

"What questions does General Dejun have?" Liu Yuan greeted Cai Mao and squinted at this very impolite guy.

Cai Mao clasped her hands together, disguised herself as a salute, and asked in a deep voice: "The martyrdom of the Son of Heaven is known to everyone in the world. However, at the same time as the new emperor of Xu Du ascended the throne, there was a new emperor in Chang'an! Sir, which new emperor should we respect? ”

Knowing that Cai Mao was the first person under Liu Biao, Liu Yuan looked back at Zuo Chengzu, saw him nodding, and said secretly in his heart: If you can't settle him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince others, let alone persuade Liu Biao.

He suddenly turned his face cold, and said to Cai Mao without humility or arrogance: "In the whole world, everyone in the world knows that Cao thief took power, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and forced the first emperor to death. Who should the general respect? ”

"When ......?!" Cai Mao hesitated, this sentence is not easy to answer! One carelessness will push everyone to the top of the guilt.

"Cao Gong levied the Yellow Turban, courted Dong Zhuo, and made immortal achievements. Welcoming the Son of Heaven in the west and reorganizing the dynasty, how can you slander in vain? If it weren't for Xuchang, the art of war, how would they have forced the Son of Heaven to death? A discordant voice sounded, relieving Cai Mao.

A person walked out of the crowd, and Zuo Chengzu recognized it as Guo Linzong.

He laughed and came to Guo Linzong

In front of him, he said slowly: "Guo Zonglin and I have no father and no king? Mrs. was born in heaven and earth, and took loyalty and filial piety as the foundation of her life. The public is Hanchen, and when you see someone who is not a minister, you should swear to poke it together, and you will be the way of the minister. Today, Cao Cao's ancestors talked about Han Lu, and the first emperor entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and he had the heart of usurpation, and the world was indignant. The words of the public are really talked about without a father and a king! Deficiencies and words! Don't say anything more! ”

Guo Zonglin's face was full of shame, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

"Although Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he was still the queen of Xiangguo Cao Shen. Although the general of the Che Cavalry is a descendant of King Jing of the Mountains in Yunshan, he has no performance? ”

Liu Yuan looked at it and saw another person behind Guo Zonglin.

"Could it be that Fan Fan Mengbo is one of the eight cares?"

"Exactly down there."

"Sit down and listen to me! Cao Cao is the queen of Cao Xiangguo, and he is also the Han minister of this world; Now it is tyrannical and wanton, bullying the monarch's father, cholera palace, such a great rebellion, not only has no king, but also contempts the ancestors; Not only the rebellious ministers of the Han family, but also the thieves of the Cao family! Today, His Majesty is a dignified emperor, the first emperor bestows knights according to the score, the young northern expedition to the Hu people, sweeps the yellow turbans, crusades against Dong Zhuo, and subdues Shandong, He Yun has nothing to examine? What's more, your main business is commensurate with brothers, and your child's opinion is not enough to speak with Coats! ”

Fan Pan was speechless, and slipped back to the class to wait.

Seeing that everyone under his command was being said differently, Liu Biao was afraid that his words would be lost, and shouted: "Shut up!" When an angel comes, we are rude without saying goodbye, how can we be so rude? After finishing speaking, he got up and came to Liu Yuan and Zuo Chengzu.

"The subordinates are not sensible, please ask the two angels not to blame!"

Old fox!

Liu Yuan cursed secretly in his heart, but he had to say with a smile on his face: "You are polite!" Before we came, His Majesty had an explanation: The generals under my brother Jingsheng are fierce, if there is a loss of words, don't care! ”

"Your Majesty is merciful, and I would like to thank Your Majesty here." As he spoke, Liu Biao bowed north.

After Liu Biao finished worshipping, Zuo Chengzu took out the holy decree and shouted loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao will receive the decree." ”

Liu Biao hurriedly set up an incense case, and led the civil and military people to kneel in front of the incense case to receive the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: The first emperor is in trouble, and the dynasty is defeated. I set up my life in danger and ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan. However, the four seas were chaotic, the princes rose up, my brother Jingsheng garrisoned Jingzhou, and his merits were prominent, and he was crowned the king of Jiangling and led Jingzhou pastoral. Choose a day to enter Beijing and be sealed. ”

King of Gangneung?

Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and the others glanced at each other, and their views on Liu Bei seemed to have changed again.

After reading the holy decree, Zuo Chengzu handed the holy decree to Liu Biao and said: "Your Majesty often thinks about brotherhood, and asks the king to leave as soon as possible." ”

"Your Majesty is affectionate, and I am very moved. The two gentlemen stayed for two days, and then I arranged the affairs of the state and county, and then set off for Beijing! Liu Biao held the hands of the two and said.

At this time, Xuchang Zhuge Mansion was on it.

Zhuge Liang was playing chess and drinking tea with a person.

This person is more than eight feet tall, about the same as Zhuge Liang, beautiful and handsome.

……

"Gongjin, don't worry. I will definitely enshrine General Sun's wishes to the saints! ”

It turned out to be Zhou Yu.

What is he doing here?

Let's listen to the conversation between Zhuge Liang and him.

"Today, Cao Ah killed the Son of Heaven and deceived hundreds of officials. And His Majesty's new Ninth Five-Year Plan, the princes of all parties may not be convinced. As a sign of sincerity, our Lord's envoy has come down to congratulate you! Zhou Yu's words were full of the meaning of the next meeting, but there was no grovel on his face.

Zhuge Liang saw it in his eyes, but he said impassively: "My lord respectfully obeys the last order of the first emperor, and ascends to the ninth five-year plan according to the edict. How can those who are ambitious be at peace? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's heart moved, and he peeked at it, but saw Zhuge Liang actually serving the tea and tasting it slowly.

Hey?! Isn't this guy going to send off guests?!

Zhou Yu thought about it, it's not okay to leave like this! I haven't mentioned this request, so how can I leave here!?

But I heard him laugh and said: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Zhuge is familiar with astronomy and geography, and he is good at arranging troops. Yu has something to ask for, I don't know if it's okay? ”

"Oh?! Gong Jin can be called the first wise man in Jiangdong, presumably to take the school examination and the school to be bright! Please speak face to face. Zhuge Liang squinted at Zhou Yu and said.

"The first emperor was tragically killed by Cao thieves, and His Majesty will not be able to raise troops to attack Cao soon. And Jiaozhou Shixie was the king first, and he supported the army to stand on his own, presumably His Majesty was beyond the reach of the whip, so my lord is willing to crusade against this fang for His Majesty! I wonder if adults are willing to help? What Zhou Yu said is also true, but it is more of a small calculation.

Jiangdong to Jiaozhou generation? It seems that Sun Quan is also planning to take this opportunity to expand his territory!

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Gong Jin! Your lord has a good plan! In my view of what you have done, you still have other requirements, why not talk about them together?! ”

"My lord has lived in Jiangdong for a long time, commanded the eight counties, helped the farmers and the people, and made the people live and work in peace and contentment, which can be said to be indispensable. Now, Liu Jingsheng has been crowned king, so my lord wants to ask His Majesty to be crowned king. Zhou Yu said this, and it seems that if he does not agree, Sun Quan will immediately raise troops to rebel.
