Chapter 724: Royalists

Liu Xiu came far faster than everyone expected. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Maybe Tang's health is getting better and better, and it is gradually suitable for long-distance bumps, maybe the road from Jiangling to Luoyang has just been repaired, and the newly built big car is also stable, and in less than a month, Liu Xiu arrived at Yique Pass.

He was greeted at Yique Pass by Lu Min, the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang.

Lu Min was very polite and greeted the Tang clan as a disciple. After Liu Yuanqi fell off the cliff, it was Lu Min who was the first to rush to the Chu Palace, he saw Tang faint with his own eyes, and when he woke up, he had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. Now seeing that although Tang has lost a lot of weight, Jingshen's condition is better than he imagined, the worry in his heart has been put down, and the unnatural joy makes him choke up for a while.

Tang Shi said something vaguely, laboriously reached out to pull Lu Min up, and then took Liu Xiu's hand, held them together, looked at Lu Min, and then looked at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu said with a tearful smile: "Auntie, don't worry, my senior brother and I have always been like brothers, you sit first, and I will talk to my senior brother." ”

Tang nodded vigorously, revealing a smile that was a little weird, but sincerely gratifying.

Lu Min said goodbye to the Tang family, followed Liu Xiu out of the tent, and the two walked a few steps side by side, walking to a small stream. Lu Min stood still and coughed, "Deran, have something to say...... I want to tell you. ”

Liu Xiu hummed, leaned his back against the willow tree next to him, clasped his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head, and played with the weeds on the ground with one foot. His casual appearance made Lu Min suddenly have an illusion, as if he had returned to the Peach Valley Jing House. The two brothers have nothing to do, and they are only talking about their studies or the women they love in their hearts. Instead of the dignified Han Chu King and Hu Ben Zhonglang General, they are about to start a negotiation that may affect the entire world.

Lu Min was a little distracted for a while, and his eyes became gentle. Liu Xiu didn't hear Lu Min speak for a long time. Raising his head, he saw Lu Min's warm expression with a hint of gentleness, and his expression was a little trance-like, so he couldn't help laughing: "Senior brother has been away from home for too long, and he misses the sister-in-law of the Mao family?" ”

Lu Min was taken aback, and found that he was a little out of shape, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. /\/\.. /\/\ After thinking about it, he continued Liu Xiu's words and said, "That's right." The Queen Mother was in mourning, and there were many affairs in the palace, but some of my sons didn't go home to see their mother and son. Originally, I thought that after the war in Yanzhou, I would return to Beijing to take up my post, and I would have time to accompany her and teach children to read, but I didn't expect to encounter several major events one after another. Alas. It's really a troubled world people are not as good as a peaceful dog, this peaceful leisure time in the world, only if you lose it, you know how to cherish it. Deran, don't you say? ”

Liu Xiu had a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth: "Senior brother is also a little sad now." It seems that this home life can really wear down people's will. ”

Lu Min asked rhetorically: "What, do you want the world to be in chaos and fight endlessly?" ”

Liu Xiu picked his eyelids and looked at Lu Min: "Who am I, Senior Brother must know it very well, why bother beating around the bush, don't you feel tired?" ”

Lu Min forced a forced laugh embarrassedly, and didn't know where to start for a while.

"Did you come yourself, or did you come first? Or is it His Majesty's will? Liu Xiu straightened up, the original lazy taste was swept away, and he suddenly regained a little of the dignity of the king, making Lu Min subconsciously serious. He arched his hand: "I want to come myself, but what I mean is also my father's will." As for Your Majesty, I will ask him for an edict when I leave the palace, and I think he will know about it. ”

Liu Xiu nodded: "What does senior brother mean?" ”

"What I mean, don't you understand, you asked me not to beat around the bush, why should I pretend to be deaf and dumb?" Although Lu Min's expression was very calm, his tone was very direct, but it was quite a bit of his father Lu Zhi's demeanor.

"I'm not pretending to be deaf and dumb, I just don't know how to answer Senior Brother." Liu Xiu turned his head, his brows were slightly locked, and his eyes looked directly at Lu Min: "Our senior brothers, we won't talk about foreign words." Senior brother, I want to ask you, what do you think about the death of the Queen Mother? ”

Lu Min raised his eyebrows and was silent. He served in the palace, how could he not hear the rumors in the palace. The death of the Queen Mother, Xiao Tianzi has not given any explanation, and the suspicion on him cannot be washed away at all. But in the face of Liu Xiu at this moment, what can he say? Liu Xiu's first question forced him to be speechless. If he were someone else, he might be able to play an official tone and not answer, but in the face of Liu Xiu, what is the point of this kind of officialdom.

Seeing that Lu Min was silent and did not answer, Liu Xiu asked again: "Then let me ask you again, do you think that with talent and prestige, which one is more suitable for me or him to be the throne?" ”

No matter how good Lu Min's cultivation is, he can't sit idly by in the face of Liu Xiu's unscrupulous words. He scolded sternly: "Deran, how can you talk like this, don't forget your identity." ”

"I just didn't forget who I was, so I dared to speak like that." Liu Xiu was unmoved, his tone was still very calm, but the meaning revealed in it was clear and resolute. "Emperor Xiaoling was born in Hejian Jiedu Pavilion, and then traced back to his great-ancestor, who was only the king of Hejian. I am also a clan in the clan, the upright King of Chu, he can be the son of heaven, why can't I? Can I only watch my ancestor's inheritance being trampled by him so badly, but I am indifferent? ”

"The first emperor has an heir!" Lu Min almost roared, his face swollen red: "De Ran, don't forget, even if Your Majesty is not competent now, there is still the emperor's eldest son, Liu Wei, and it is not your turn to succeed to the throne." ”

"Liu Wei, is that stupid boy?" Liu Xiu sneered: "Do you think he can be better than me?" ”

"This is the rule of the ancestors, not better than anyone." Lu Min couldn't help but reprimand: "Do you think it's the king of Yidi, and the strong is the king?" This is the Great Han, this is the Great Han who has been in the country for 400 years, and the descendants are not virtuous ......"

"What did Emperor Xiaohuan say?" Liu Xiu interrupted Lu Min, Lu Min was stunned for a moment, his face became very ugly, and he argued forcefully: "Emperor Xiaohuan...... What happened to Emperor Xiaohuan? ”

"If it weren't for that Bahu general, would Emperor Xiaohuan be able to ascend the throne? But in the end, Liang Ji died, the Liang family was destroyed, and Emperor Xiaohuan, who supported Liang Ji's power to ascend to the throne, became the orthodoxy you maintained. Liu Xiu sneered: "With the sages in front, why can't I follow suit, am I not as good as Liang Ji?" No matter what means he uses, as long as he ascends to that throne and has the strength to keep that throne, he can bring peace to the world, and who dares to say that I am not in the right position? ”

"You...... You ......" Lu Min's face turned red and white for a while, he pointed at Liu Xiu, and couldn't say a word. He looked at Liu Xiu's casual face, and suddenly felt very unfamiliar, is this still the junior brother he knows? How could he be so indifferent to the family law of his ancestors, how could he regard the throne as a seat to be taken away, and how could he be so indifferent to the supreme imperial power?

"You just said that I don't care about the peace of the world, I can tell you that I care." Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and sighed faintly: "Over the years, what have I done, what kind of hard work and price have I paid, I believe that Senior Brother can see clearly, and I also believe that people in the world can see clearly." I want the world to be peaceful, but I first have to make sure that my family is at peace. Senior brother, my knowledge is not good, I am not a saint, my father is dead, and I almost died at the hands of assassins, does my brother think that I should not do something for myself and my family? ”

"The death of King Chu Hui...... It was an accident. Lu Min argued weakly.

"Hmph, hum, hahaha......" Liu Xiu sneered twice, and then laughed loudly: "My father's death was an accident, and my assassination was also an accident, so I want to ask my senior brother, what happened to the death of the queen mother?" Is there a cliff in the palace, or has the Queen Mother offended someone? The Queen Mother was so good and docile, I can't think of what kind of person she would offend, so that she died in the palace, in front of that majesty. ”

He turned his head, stared at Lu Min, gritted his teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of between his teeth: "If Senior Brother thinks that that the ungrateful brute should continue to sit in that seat and do what he wants, and no one else can ignore it, this is the rule, then I will tell you clearly today that I don't want to abide by this rule, and besides, I want to break this bullshit rule and trample it under my feet." You can agree with me or disagree with me, but don't come and stop me. Whoever stops me, I will kill him! Whoever wants to be a loyal servant, I will fulfill him! ”

Lu Min was dumbfounded and speechless.

Liu Xiu took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, and his fierce gaze slowly converged. He was a little distracted, and walked slowly forward with his hands behind his back. Lu Min didn't know whether to follow or turn away. He hesitated for a moment, then rushed up without giving up, and begged: "Deran, you listen to me, even if you want to do this, you can't do it now." Deran, I beg you, don't be so impulsive, okay? ”

"Am I impulsive?" Liu Xiu stopped and looked at Lu Min angrily: "How long do I have to wait, until he puts the knife on my neck?" ”

"No, wait until after the pacification of Jizhou." Lu Min grabbed Liu Xiu's sleeve and begged bitterly: "Deran, you have always been steady and thoughtful, and you won't be unable to figure out the key points here." Yes, you have the upper hand, but Your Majesty is not completely powerless. Once you kill the king and stand on your own, what will the people of the world think? How will the Cao family be, can they support you? If you start a war with Cao Cāo, only Yuan Shao will benefit in the end, and it is the people of the world who will suffer. Deran, you don't know, Yuan Shao is already stupid and wants to join forces with Cao Cāo to deal with you. ”

Liu Xiu was taken aback: "Is this true?" ”

"Absolutely." Lu Min was desperate and didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly told Liu Xiu that Cao Cāo sent someone to find him, and vaguely said that Yuan Shao had arranged for someone to contact him. Although the person who came did not explicitly say that the emperor's eldest son, Liu Wei, was in Jizhou, the meaning revealed in it was very clear. And Cao Cāo's meaning is also very clear, if Liu Xiu kills the monarch and stands on his own, he will not stand on Liu Xiu's side, and he will definitely support the emperor's eldest son Liu Wei to ascend the throne.

"Who else?"

"There are also the great general Song Feng and his subordinates, such as Dong Zhuo, the chief historian."

When Liu Xiu heard these names, he suddenly laughed a little. Dong Zhuo and Cao Cāo actually became royalists?
