Peng Yi's words are actually not provocative, since they can make Guan Yu angry, it is reasonable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Think about it, I Guan Yu and the first emperor are like brothers, since the first emperor started the army to follow to the present, how many times the defeat, I will not give up, if there is no me, the two ladies are still ravaged in the hands of Cao Ying, if there is no me, who can guard Jingzhou for more than ten years without loss, to provide a solid backing for the revival of the Han Kingdom, if there is no me...... Guan Yu can find countless reasons for himself to prove that he is the greatest hero of the Great Han Kingdom and the person that the first emperor should rely on the most.

And the current situation is that the support of the new emperor is completely played by those few ministers, and he has no room to speak at all, with Guan Yu's surname, even if he doesn't use Peng Yi to "provoke" it, he can't swallow this breath.

At this time, Peng Yi saw that Guan Yu's face was angry, so he said again: "In fact, a series of things that have happened since His Majesty returned to Beijing, doesn't the general feel suspicious?" ā€

Guan Yu looked stunned, and said with heavy eyebrows: "What's the doubt?" ā€

Peng Yi said: "Everyone in the world knows that the first emperor and the general are like brothers, although the general is the same, but in the final analysis, the general is the most trusted person of the first emperor, if it is not for this, when the first emperor entered Shu, he would not leave the foundation of Jingzhou to the general to guard." ā€

Guan Yu felt quite comfortable listening to these words, and couldn't help but look proud, and stroked his beard and said: "This is true, since Yide lost Xuzhou drunk, the first emperor relied on me the most." ā€

Peng Yi then said: "Now the first emperor is afraid that he also has the heart of establishing the king of Chu as the prince, which many people can also see, since this is the case, the first emperor chose a wife for the king of Chu, and should choose to marry the general, the most trusted brother, but the fact is that the first emperor chose to marry the general of the chariot cavalry, doesn't the general think that there must be something strange in this?" ā€

Guan Yu heard a little bit of the meaning of his words, and couldn't help frowning: "What do you want to say?" ā€

Peng Yi smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, the lower officials just think that the first emperor's decision to give marriage is contrary to common sense, and it is said that the first emperor was in a semi-coma before his death, and it is basically difficult to see things, even so, how did the first emperor get this marriage edict?" ā€

Peng Yi's question only shocked Guan Yu, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean, do you mean that the edict is not from the original intention of the first emperor?" ā€

Peng Yi sneered: "Xia Guan just guessed that there was this possibility, after all, when the Jinyang Revolution was at the beginning, didn't the first emperor also issue a few incomprehensible edicts, and the first emperor was also delirious at that time, since there is such a precedent, then why not this time." ā€

Although Peng Yi did not say it explicitly, what he implied was already obvious, it was nothing more than guessing that Liu Bei's edict for marriage was done by Zhuge Liang and others in the court, or taking advantage of Liu Bei's confusion, he fooled him into issuing the edict, in short, the edict would not come from Liu Bei's heart.

Guan Yu hadn't thought about this matter before, and when he heard about it, he just felt very disappointed and unhappy, and he didn't think about it carefully.

"That's right, if it's the first emperor, how can you not marry me, Peng Yi is right, most of them are Kong Ming's Jingxiang scholars who are making trouble, they are obviously afraid of me, afraid that I will become the future ruler of the country, which will affect their control of national affairs." ’

Under Peng Yi's guidance, Guan Yu was suspicious of the Jingxiang ministers in Chang'an City.

Guan Yu is the kind of person who is full of joy and anger, and Peng Yi can see the suspicion and annoyance in his heart clearly.

Seeing this, Peng Yi further said: "If the king of Chu succeeds to the throne as the emperor, then Mrs. Mi will be the queen mother, when the Changbanpo was in place, Zuo Da Sima had a life-saving grace for the queen mother, and Zuo Da Sima and Prime Minister Zhuge are in-laws, so that in the future, the people on whom the new emperor and the queen mother rely will be Zuo Da Sima and Zhuge Prime Minister, and the general, hehe......"

Peng Yi didn't finish his words, and only ended with a sneer, but of course Guan Yu understood that what he wanted to say was that if Liu Tai succeeded to the throne as emperor, then he, the general, would have no relatives and no reason for others, and he would not have much kindness, and he would only be gradually alienated in the future, and the status of the Guan family in the Han Dynasty would be difficult to be as favored as the first emperor.

The flame of "grievance" in Guan Yu's heart was ignited, he angrily slapped the case, and said angrily: "This foundation is jointly laid down by the three of my brothers, my brother's country, that is, Yide and my country, now that my brother is gone, how can I sit back and watch the foundation he left behind be manipulated by outsiders!" ā€

An imperceptible sly smile surged up at the corner of Peng Yi's mouth, and Guan Yu's anger was exactly what he wanted.

He had been waiting for this day for nearly ten years, and now, he had finally been given his chance.

Back then, in order to combat Fazheng's "arrogance", those Jing Xiangshi people did not hesitate to take him Peng Yi as a sacrifice, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others all entered the "slander" in front of Liu Bei, forcing Liu Bei to demote himself to that remote place as a guard.

Although Peng Yi, who was proud of his talent, held a grudge, he thought that being demoted was only temporary, but he didn't expect that in the following years, although Fa Zheng tried to promote him several times, he was all hindered by the people of the Jing Xiang family, and in the end, even Fa Zheng had to give up on him.

Peng Yi knew that most of his career was over.

However, he was an unwilling person, he gave up the opportunity to climb to the center, and the relationship between the law and the law was transferred to Jingzhou At the beginning, with his talent and means, Peng Yi quickly won Guan Yu's appreciation.

Later, Guan Yu was named a general, and when he opened the general's mansion, he entrusted Peng Yi as a long history. Because this commission came from Guan Yu, it was difficult for the Jingxiang family in the court to obstruct it.

Peng Yi, who is arrogant and arrogant, is disliked by everyone, but he is appreciated by the arrogant Guan Yu, perhaps because of the similarities between the two.

However, the reason why the smart Peng Yi values Guan Yu is precisely because he predicts that one day in the future, if Liu Bei dies suddenly, the Great Han Kingdom will inevitably start a battle for the throne, and Guan Yu will play a pivotal role in this struggle.

Peng Yi bet his chance to make a comeback on Guan Yu's body.

Guan Yu's anger made Peng Yi realize that there was an opportunity, so he sighed and said with a wry smile: "However, now that Prime Minister Zhuge and others are in control of the imperial court, if they really completely ignore the general's opinion and forcibly support the king of Chu as the emperor in Chang'an, causing the fait accompli of the new emperor's succession, then they can use the edict of the new emperor to suppress the general, and the general is afraid and powerless to resist." ā€

Guan Yu realized the complexity of the situation, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Peng Changshi, you have always been resourceful and decisive, I wonder if you have a good plan?" ā€

Peng Yi waited for this sentence, and then said: "This matter is easy, since Prime Minister Zhuge can choose to support the king of Chu as the emperor, the general will clearly oppose it, but support the king of Qi to succeed to the throne, so that the initiative will be in the hands of the general." ā€

The king of Qi mentioned by Peng Yi is Liu Bei's eldest son, Liu Chan.

If Mrs. Mi failed to give birth to Liu Tai, then Liu Chan would naturally become the object of support of the Jingxiang people, Liu Tai's birth not only made Liu Chan lose the identity of the eldest son, but also lost the support of the Jingxiang people.

In fact, for the original Guan Yu, it doesn't matter who Liu Chan and Liu Tai are the princes, as long as it is not the Liu Shan supported by the Guanlong Group. But now, the general trend of Guanlong Group has gone, and the situation is different.

"Although King Qi is old, he is not a descendant after all, if I support him, I'm afraid it's not suitable." Guan Yu still has some scruples.

Peng Yi said disapprovingly: "Although the king of Qi has not come out, but after all, he is old, and although the king of Chu is a son-in-law, he is less than ten years old. The general used this as an excuse to support the elder prince as the emperor, which also changed with the times, and the reasons were full and reasonable, who dared to oppose it! ā€

Peng Yi took the trouble to analyze the pros and cons of Guan Yu, and it was quite reasonable, if you look at it from this aspect, Zhuge Liang and others supported Liu Tai as the emperor, but they had more selfishness to protect the interests of the group, but Peng Yi's words of supporting Liu Chan as the emperor were righteous and awe-inspiring, as if they were thinking about the country's plans.

In fact, Peng Yi is not out of selfishness, if Liu Chan can successfully ascend the throne with Guan Yu's power and prestige, then he will have the merit of supporting it, and the official position will surely rise to the top, this is his real intention.

Under Peng Yi's "bewitchment", Guan Yu gradually had an idea in his heart, he pondered for a long time, and suddenly shot the case, and sneered: "The words of the long history are exactly what I mean, okay, I will immediately go to the table and support King Qi as the emperor!" ā€

………… Five days later, Chang'an.

In the palace, it is still plain white, and according to the royal rules, the memorial ceremony before the emperor's death and burial will also last for a long time.

According to custom, the new emperor will succeed to the throne before the spirit of the previous emperor, so as to prove the legal surname of his throne.

At this moment, under the planning of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, the palace is already secretly preparing for the succession of the new emperor, and only waiting for the arrival of the support of the general Guan Yu, he can immediately support Liu Tai as the emperor.

This time, the ministers sacrificed to the first emperor, and then gathered in the side hall to rest, and Zhuge Liang, Fang Shao, Pang Tong, Zhang Fei and others can also meet by the way to discuss some matters of the new emperor's succession.

While several people were talking, a eunuch suddenly hurried in, claiming that the general Guan Yu's top table had arrived, and enshrined his book to Zhuge Liang.

"The general's table has finally arrived, and it seems that we don't have to wait any longer." Zhuge Liang took the table with a smile, unfolded it and took a look, and in a blink of an eye, his face sank.

As Zhuge Liang's brows gradually furrowed, Fang Shao beside him vaguely felt a hint of foreboding.

After being silent for a moment, Zhuge Liang closed the upper watch, glanced around at the people who were looking at him, and said silently: "The general supports King Qi as the new emperor. ā€

As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly silent.
