Chapter 36: The Secret

After a while, Jia Xu said again: "Let's talk about Liu Yu, this person is a clan, the emperor of the royal family, and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, if he agrees to be the emperor, the reputation accumulated over the years will be in danger of being ruined."

Besides, as a clan, the first emperor is called, it must be an example for other clans, everyone is the emperor of the royal family, and the status is not lower than you, why are you the emperor, but I am a courtier, and I bow to you three times and nine times.

In this way, Liu Dai of Yanzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Miao of Yangzhou, and Liu Yan of Yizhou all have the possibility of becoming emperors.

Moreover, with Yuan Shu's character and ability, he can also support one of the clans, establish himself as the emperor, and fight against the emperor set up by Yuan Shao in Hebei. Judging from Liu Yu's character and wisdom, this person is scheming, old-fashioned, and cherishes feathers, and is never willing to be the rafter.

Childe, some time ago, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao wrote to the Son of Heaven that Yizhou Mu Liu Yan was in Yizhou, worshiped Zhang Lu of the Wudou Mi Sect as the governor of Yi Sima, and sent him to attack and kill Hanzhong Taishou Sugu, occupy Hanzhong, and then let Zhang Lu kill the Han envoy, cut off the communication, and never pay tribute to the imperial court, and closed the door to defend himself. It also imitated the Son of Heaven to ride more than 1,000 times. It seems that Liu Yan has signs that Zixia is discussing the theory of saints in Xihe. And so on, all of which show that Liu Yan has the heart to be the emperor in Yizhou. Liu Yu must have heard about this matter, how could he risk the disapproval of the world and rashly claim the emperor. ”

Dong Shouye approving: "The military advisor is reasonable. Worthy of the name of the wise. If Liu Yu really claimed the title of emperor and attacked the Son of Heaven, wouldn't he be guilty of the following crimes, and wouldn't the name of the Han clan be ruined. ”

Jia Xu touched his goatee and said with a smile: "What Gongzi said is very true. ”

Dong Shouye said again: "In fact, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Liu Yu is called emperor, it will be difficult to achieve great things. ”

Jia Xu was a little confused, what was the situation with his son-in-law, so he asked, "What does the son-in-law mean?" ”

Dong Shouye replied: "Military advisor, what is the reason for Yuan Shaoli to make Liu Yu the emperor. The military advisor can read the secret letter that my father gave me. After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Jia Xu. Jia Xu hurriedly caught it with both hands and looked at it solemnly.

After a while, Jia Xu said: "Yuan Shao was established by the prime minister because the Son of Heaven was young and weak, and he said that the Son of Heaven was not the biological son of Emperor Xiaoling, not the bloodline of Emperor Xiaoling. ”

Dong Shouye said: "Military advisor, the young emperor was deposed as the king of Hongnong, this person is well known, the young emperor is established by the general He Jin, Yuan Shao and He Jin**, he will not admit it to the young emperor!" ”

Jia Xu then said: "Yes, Yuan Benchu will not go back on his word, such a contradictory act at both ends of the rat, Yuan Benchu cherishes feathers, and he will definitely not dare to say such a rebellious word." ”

Dong Shouye smiled and said, "If King Hongnong doesn't die, what about Yuan Shaodang?" At this time, this guy's smug expression was very underwhelming, making people look like they were eager to kick a few times.

Jia Xu replied: "That Yuan Ben's original plan to establish the emperor is a big joke. At that time, Yuan Benchu wouldn't be difficult to ride a tiger, and he didn't know what to do, so he couldn't deny what he had done before! ”

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "The meaning of Gongzi's words is that King Hongnong is still alive and has not been killed by Master Li? How is this possible, some of the civil and military officials have seen King Hongnong die on the spot, this matter is known to the world, and how can people be resurrected after death? ”

Dong Shouye stood up and said slowly: "It was also in the first month of last year that Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other Kwantung princes rebelled against the imperial court, claiming to capture Luoyang and welcome back the young emperor who was deposed as the king of Hongnong to reinstate the emperor. At that time, my father was furious and made a decision that was not wise, and sent his eldest brother-in-law Li Ru into the palace to kill the young emperor and his biological mother, the Empress Dowager He.

My father thought that the Kwantung princes raised troops to welcome back King Hongnong, and if King Hongnong died rashly, then the strategic goal of the Kwantung princes would no longer exist, so the Kwantung princes would fall into a wait-and-see situation, and my Xiliang army could break them one by one. It just so happened that at this time, Ben Gongzi defeated 100,000 white wave thieves in Hedong, and the class returned to Luoyang.

So, my son-in-law made it easy for his eldest brother-in-law Li Ru to discuss, and made a plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea. The eldest brother-in-law, Li Ru, found a palace lady with a similar shape and appearance to the Empress Dowager He from among the surviving palace maids in the palace and put on the palace clothes of the Empress Dowager He, and found one similar to the figure and appearance of King Hongnong from some small eunuchs, and let him wear the crown of King Hongnong's court clothes, and then offered poisoned wine to the fake mother and son to drink, and the two died after drinking.

After the adjutant who was responsible for inspecting whether the Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong were dead, the sky was nearly dark at this time, the twilight was hazy, and it was not very clear to see, and the people who died of poisoning would have a look of misery. Now the mother and son are placed in a secret position, although they are no longer the glory and wealth of the past, but they are also rich in food and clothing, and they do not worry about eating and drinking.

Without the deceit and intrigue in the court, and living an ordinary life, it is also comfortable. ”

Jia Xu was also shocked when he heard the news, the shock brought by this news was no less than Yuan Shao's appointment of Liu Yu as the emperor, and the turmoil in his heart could not be stopped, so he opened his mouth and said: "Gongzi is so arranged, is there any long-term plan?" ”

Dong Shouye shook his head, knelt down beside the desk again, smiled helplessly, and replied: "I don't have any plans yet, let's take a step at a time!" ”

In fact, Dong Shouye still thought of another possibility in his heart, but this possibility was too terrifying and too frightening to the world, even the current Dong Shouye did not dare to imagine it.

Jia Xu asked again: "Then does the Prime Minister know about this?" ”

Dong Shouye shook his head and said: "Father, I haven't learned yet, the eldest brother-in-law has discussed this matter with my son, and now the shape is still relatively serious, everything is not going well, this matter is still hidden from my father for the time being, and when I have a suitable opportunity, I will ask him for the crime and explain this matter." ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he didn't say much.

At the same time, Jia Xu still felt that there were many things he didn't understand about this matter, and at this time, he had been thinking about it in his heart for a long time, calculating countless possible situations, but he couldn't figure out what his son-in-law was thinking in his heart. But as a well-known old fox in this world, he is known for his scheming, and his instinct has always been to tell him that this matter is definitely not that simple. However, Jia Xu has calculated countless possibilities now, but none of them may be true under the current circumstances, and none of them can be established in the next few years. sighed silently in his heart, I couldn't think of it, so I just didn't want to, as long as I kept following my son-in-law, I could always see the day when the water came out.
