Chapter 406: Ambition

"Who?" Zhuge Liang asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Liu Feng, King of Shu!" Fang Shao replied very simply.
When Liu Bei was called the emperor, he was originally named the king of Jing, and later transferred Liu Feng to Shu, and concurrently served as the Taishou of Hanzhong, guarding the Hanzhong and the three eastern counties, so he was renamed the king of Shu.
At such a special moment, Fang Shao suddenly mentioned Liu Feng, the king of Shu who was almost ignored by everyone, and in the first moment, even Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, two people with superior wisdom, couldn't help but be stunned.
Immediately, the faces of the two of them showed expressions of sudden realization at the same time.
"Zhongzheng, your trick is really wonderful!" Pang Tong was so excited that he patted Fang Shao's shoulder and praised it.
Any clever strategy, when it is pointed out, actually seems very simple.
As Fang Shao said before, Guan Yu's reason for supporting the succession of King Qi is nothing more than the suspicion of the lord Shaoguo and the establishment of the Changjun, this reason seems to be impeccable when surrounded by foreign enemies.
However, Guan Yu's miscalculation is that he forgot the dead Liu Bei, and he still has a son who is older than Liu Chan, and that person is naturally Liu Feng, the king of Shu.
When Liu Bei adopted Liu Feng as his son, it was originally for the purpose of taking him as his heir, but later Liu Chan, Liu Tai, and even Liu Shan were born one after another, so people naturally excluded Liu Feng, who was not his own, from the scope of the prince.
However, from a legal point of view, although Liu Feng is not Liu Bei's biological son, as long as he has performed the rite of adoption, then Liu Feng is equivalent to his own son, that is, Liu Feng has the same power to inherit the throne.
Previously, the reason why Jing Xiangshi supported the king of Chu was to establish a successor, in this case, of course, Liu Feng was not qualified, but now Guan Yu proposed to establish a chief, but he ignored that from a legal point of view, Liu Feng is precisely the first heir of the chief.
Of course, Fang Shao didn't really want to help Liu Feng sit on the throne, the reason why he moved out of Liu Feng was to force Guan Yu to change his original intention and support the king of Chu instead.
The reason is very simple, when Liu Bei wanted to adopt Liu Feng in the early years, Guan Yu clearly objected, and Liu Bei ignored his opinion and still adopted Liu Feng, Guan Yu never liked his nephew, although Liu Feng did not dare to be dissatisfied with Guan Yu on the surface, but everyone knew that Liu Feng must have jealousy of his uncle, this is human nature, this is very human, this point, presumably Guan Yu himself is also very clear.
So in this case, if Guan Yu still insists on standing up, he will be succeeded by Liu Feng, which will make him a person that the new emperor hates and hates. Moreover, this new emperor is not Liu Bei's own flesh and blood, which is also unacceptable to Guan Yu.
"Shi Yuan, you and I are in a hurry, I actually forgot this trick, well, not bad, yes, as soon as this plan comes out, I expect that Yun Chang will only be obedient." Zhuge Liang also shook his feather fan and praised it.
Facing the admiration of the two of them, Fang Shao sighed instead: "Although this plan can deal with the general, but this strategy is a bit poisonous, and I came up with this strategy out of desperation." ”
The "poison" that Fang Shao refers to is nothing more than dragging Liu Feng, who is relatively innocent and out of the matter, into this muddy water.
In the early years, after Liu Bei took Hanzhong, in order to prevent Liu Feng, they designed to force Liu Bei to send Liu Feng to other counties. However, Liu Feng later knew each other very well, tried his best to restrain his frivolous surname, and was quite low-key, which also slowed down the attention of Zhuge Liang and others.
Later, after taking Guanzhong, Liu Bei handed over such vital places as Hanzhong to Liu Feng to guard, and after so many years, Liu Feng performed very steadily whether he was guarding Hanzhong or cooperating with Guan Yudong to attack Wei.
Liu Feng's low-key performance is also releasing a clear signal to the outside world, that is, he does not intend to compete for the position of prince, so neither Jingxiang Group nor Guanlong Group has taken too much precaution against him.
Obviously, Liu Feng knows the embarrassment of his identity and is very self-aware, but now, Fang Shao's strategy is to forcibly drag him into the water, whether it is Liu Chan or Liu Tai who will take the throne in the future, Liu Feng has a "criminal record" for the throne, and he will inevitably be jealous, and he will not be happy.
For Liu Feng, this is of course a bit aggrieved.
Pang Tong said disapprerovingly: "Zhongzheng, you don't want the kindness of a woman, in order to take care of the overall situation, you naturally have to make sacrifices." What's more, the king of Shu holds the military power and sits in the key places in Hanzhong, I always feel that it is an unstable hidden danger, so I can take this opportunity to test it, if he dares to be ambitious, it just gives us the truth to get rid of him. ”
Pang Tong's words were as cold as ice, without any emotional color, everything was based on interests, which made Fang Shao shudder a little.
"This is also a last resort, without further ado, let's act separately according to the policy of Zhongzheng." Zhuge Liang finally made a decision.
………… Xiangyang, General's Mansion.
Guan Yu sat upright on the upper seat, stroked his beautiful hair, and quietly listened to Peng Yi reading a letter of information sent by Chang'an.
Since Guan Yu sent the above table supporting the king of Qi to Chang'an, he sent a wide range of meticulous works to Chang'an to listen to the movements of the people in the court.
According to the various information sent back by the meticulous workers, it has been vaguely judged that the gang of Jingxiang led by Zhuge Liang seems to be ready to make a compromise, which makes Guan Yu feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, and the resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart before have also faded with the letter of information that Peng Yi reads out.
Peng Yi read all the information, and said with a smile: "General, according to the current situation, there should be no suspense about the succession of King Qi. ”
Guan Yu also stroked his hair and smiled, a look of pride and pride appeared on his red face, and said in an approving tone: "Yongnian, if this matter is successful, you will make a great contribution, if I enter the auxiliary government in the future, you will have to work hard and take care of all kinds of political affairs." ”
Guan Yu is making a promise to be an official.
has been silent for so many years, endured for so many years, and made so many efforts, isn't it just Guan Yu's words today, Peng Yi at this time has a lot of joy in his heart, as if the depression and grievances he has suffered for so many years have been vented at this moment.
"Thanks to the trust of the general, to be able to serve the general, this is the blessing of Yi, how to say the hard work, the general rest assured, Yi will do my best, to share the worries of the general." Peng Yi was busy "confessing" to Guan Yu.
At this moment, a person from outside the door hurriedly entered, and it was Guan Yu's eldest son Guan Ping.
"Father, the latest information from Chang'an has arrived, and I'm afraid things will change." Guan Ping's face was solemn, and his expression was full of anxiety.
Guan Yu's expression was still complacent, and he said lightly: "Why is Dingguo so flustered? ”
Guan Ping presented that piece of information to his father, Guan Yu unfolded it and squinted at it, his smug expression dissipated, and instantly turned into some kind of indescribable surprise.
"General, what happened?" Peng Yi also had an ominous premonition.
Syllable!
Guan Yu slammed the letter on the case, and the surprise on his face turned into anger and annoyance, so angry that he didn't even want to speak.
Peng Yi's expression changed, and he turned to Guan Ping and asked, "Young General, what happened?" ”
Guan Ping said silently: "A few days ago, many people in the court suddenly came to the table, saying that since they want to establish a long monarch, they should support the king of Shu to succeed to the throne." ”
As soon as these words came out, Peng Yi's body was shocked, and his face couldn't help but show a look of consternation.
I thought that my strategy was unparalleled, coupled with the support of the relevant feathers, Zhuge and others in the court were difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that such a key person was missed, and those people in the court were really not fuel-efficient lamps.
At this moment, Peng Yi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to face Guan Yu's angry expression, so he had to say: "This matter must be a poisonous plan devised by Zhuge Kongming and others, trying to force the general to take back the above table." ”
Guan Yu grimaced and said in a deep voice: "I naturally know this, Peng Changshi, it seems that you have been countered by others, I don't know if you have a way to deal with it." ”
"If the king of Shu is not born to the first emperor, how can he inherit the unification, if the general does not use this as a reason to oppose it." In a panic, Peng Yi's mind was a little confused, and he came up with such an idea.
Guan Yu snorted coldly, and said unhappily: "What kind of bad idea are you, you must know that although the king of Shu is not born to the first emperor, as long as he has a formal adoption ceremony, he has the bloodline of the first emperor, which is known to everyone in the world, you let me use this as a reason to oppose it, isn't it to make the world laugh at my Guan Yu's ignorance!" ”
Peng Yi was scolded like this, he trembled with fright, and hurriedly said: "It's the official's mistake, the general is angry, the general is angry." ”
Guan Yu suppressed his anger and asked, "Then do you have any other good plans?" ”
Peng Yi sweated on his forehead, scratched his head and said, "What's this...... Let the lower officials think about it...... It's really not easy to deal with......"
Peng Yi was vague, obviously unable to think of any good way.
Seeing this, Guan Yu was angry and a little helpless, looking at the piece of information that made him like a man, Guan Yu gritted his teeth.
………… Hanzhong, the palace of the king of Shu.
In Liu Feng's hand, there was a piece of information that was the same as Guan Yu's, which was a piece of information about the ministers of the DPRK and China supporting him to succeed him.
A smile gradually appeared on Liu Feng's face, and in that smile, there was a certain long-suppressed emotion.
It was a kind of ambition, an ambition that was forced to be helpless and had to be buried in the bottom of my heart for many years.
Originally, as the eldest son, I was ignored, excluded and suppressed by you, and for so many years, I had to be a man with my tail between my legs and silently endure the torment of loneliness.
Those so-called biological sons have no merit, but because they are flowing with their father's blood, they can sit back and enjoy their achievements and get everything they want.
And I, Liu Feng, did not hesitate to saddle my horse for the Han Kingdom, and I paid so much, but I could only stay in this mountain nest and continue to pay silently.
Now, it's time for me to get back what belongs to me!
Just when Liu Feng's heart was surging, the next step said with a smile: "King, don't fall for their annihilation plan, now is not the time to act." ”
