Chapter 1 Liu Zhang's abolition of the eldest son and the rebel son burned the pavilion
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling favored the eunuchs, and the government was not in the same place. The Yellow Turban Army took the opportunity to revolt, although most of them were suppressed in the end, but it greatly damaged the vitality of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and many local officials with soldiers in their hands supported their own troops. Later, the general He Jin wanted to punish the eunuchs, so he followed Yuan Shao's advice and recruited foreign soldiers to enter the king of Jingqin.
Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to lead troops into Beijing, abolished the young emperor Liu Wei, and established the emperor Liu Xie as the emperor, Liu Xie is the Han Xian Emperor in history.
Since then, the warlord division has become more and more intense, and the central power of the Eastern Han Dynasty has existed in name only.
Therefore, some people say that it was He Jin who messed up the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is not impossible to say that it is Yuan Shao. I want to know how to enter, but a butcher who kills pigs and sheep is born, where do you understand the general trend of the world? You Yuan Shao is different, the fourth and third dukes, one of the eight captains of the West Garden, could it be that you are thinking about problems with your ass?
It is very ironic that after the chaos in the world, Yuan Shao actually summoned all the princes to discuss Dong Zhuo and proclaimed himself the leader of the alliance. In fact, if it weren't for him, where would there be Dong Zhuo's rebellion?
Since then, the waves have swept the sand, and heroes have emerged, each leading the way. A meteor pierced the sky of the Eastern Han Dynasty and fell into Shuzhong, and a generation of Tianjiao was born.
In the fifth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, in the house of Liu Zhang, Yizhou Mu, a major event was being discussed at this time. "Lord, the eldest prince has always been cowardly and incompetent, plus he has a disability in his calf, and after being struck by lightning recently, his body is even weaker, so it is really not suitable for him to be the future lord of Yizhou", a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a beard like thorns.
This big man's name is Zhao Wei, he is a general under Liu Zhang, Yizhou Mu, Liu Zhang is weak, Zhao Wei has already had the heart to replace him, but the time has not come.
"Lord, I don't think Zhao Wei's words are right. The eldest prince is not at fault, he is the eldest son of the lord, and he is the rightful heir of the lord after a hundred years. The side flashed that the official king was tired, and he spoke bluntly, and looked at Zhao Wei directly, as if he was about to breathe fire.
"Xia Guan also thinks that it is not in accordance with the rules to abolish the elders and establish the young, please think twice", seeing that someone came forward to force Zhao Wei, and another official Huang Quan also came forward to advise Liu Zhang.
Zhao Wei glared at Huang Quan hatefully, and turned to a middle-aged man in front of him to gesture with his eyes, and at the same time snorted.
The middle-aged man is dressed in a military uniform, his eyes are turning uncontrollably, and his appearance is a little obscene, this person's name is Wu Lan, he is a general under Liu Zhang, and everyone who knows knows that he has actually been bought by Zhao Wei a long time ago, and he is an important lackey under Zhao Wei.
Wu Lan immediately took a step forward, half-knelt and said, "Lord, the last general thinks that Zhao Gong's words are reasonable. The words of Huang Quan and Wang Lei are just the words of scholars, and in today's world, they are really out of place. Now it is a troubled time, the heroes are divided, the heroes are rising, and the treacherous people have the heart of swallowing our Yizhou. The heir of Yizhou Mu should be a decisive and wise person, and the second son, Liu Xian, is the ideal candidate. A character like the eldest prince, if he is the heir of the state pastor, I am afraid that the foundation of the lord will be damaged in the future. ”
"Yan Xibo, the two of them are at loggerheads, what do you think about this matter?" Liu Zhang turned to the white-bearded and white-haired veteran at the bottom of the stairs and asked.
"Yan Yan thought that this was the lord's family matter, and there was no need to ask for the opinions of outsiders", Yan Yan stroked his long beard lightly, looking like he was in his chest, "Since the lord asked the last general, I thought that I might as well invite the two sons to meet." The lord can take the test, who is more suitable for the heir of Yizhou Mu, the lord has his own judgment. ”
"Heber's words are reasonable, come here, invite two sons", Liu Zhang immediately exclaimed.
Not long after, the second son, Liu Xian, came, he was dressed in a military uniform, wearing a pair of yellow and clear gold chain mail, a silk of a hundred flowers and animal skins, a pair of wolf skin combat boots, and a scarlet treasure and a thousand carp coats. His eyes were shining, and he smiled with Zhao Wei, and his eyes quickly separated.
"The second son is the best among the people, just looking at this bearing, you know that it is extraordinary", Wu Lan said with a smile, "It seems that the second son's martial arts skills should have reached real strength a long time ago."
"Don't dare, don't dare, General Wu has a good reputation, he has just reached real strength recently, my eldest brother's martial arts skills are already above me", Liu Xian said modestly, and there was no smugness in his tone.
The fivefold realm of martial arts, qi, real strength, virtual strength, dao strength, and potential realm, each realm has a huge gap. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the most powerful Lu Bu was just a glimpse of the early stage of the momentum. Like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others, they are just in the realm of Dao Jin. As for a son-in-law like Liu Xian, he has reached real strength at a young age, which is good.
"Xian'er, it seems that you have been more and more diligent in practicing martial arts recently, military books and war strategies, Han Fu articles, I don't know how to learn", Liu Zhang looked at his beloved son, his eyes showed appreciation, this young son was born to his favorite Mrs. Zhang, and has always been regarded as a treasure.
In addition, the Zhang family is a big family in Shuzhong and has a lot of influence in Yizhou, so he has long had the intention of abolishing the elder and establishing the young. Today's proposal to abolish the heir was originally proposed by Liu Zhang and Zhao Wei.
"Back to my father, I learned from Teacher Sima very well. As for Han Fu's article, the child thought, in troubled times, those things are not of great use, and there is no need to waste energy to learn", Liu Xian bowed and replied.
"Very good, it seems that my son has grown a lot, I called you and your eldest brother over today to see which of you is most qualified to become the heir of Yizhou Mu in the future, what do you think about this?" Liu Zhang went straight to the road with a single knife while observing his son's reaction. Although he is weak by nature, he has been in charge of the party for many years, and he still has some ability to read and observe people.
"The eldest brother's physical condition is deteriorating, and he is really not suitable to become the future lord of Yizhou. The child is willing to share the worries of his father and brother. If my father chooses me as his heir, I will do my best to preserve the inheritance of my ancestors and destroy those enemies who dare to attack," Liu Xian swore solemnly.
"Well, if you have this heart, it is not in vain that I am a descendant of the Liu family, we are the grandsons of Emperor Gaozu, don't fall into the prestige of your ancestors at any time", Liu Zhang said awe-inspiringly, but he always felt a little lacking in confidence, these words also encouraged morale, just said casually, but said in his heart, "This is inevitably a little more urgent, but the eldest son is too useless, and under the trade-off, this kid is more reliable." ”
"By the way, it's been so long, why hasn't Xun'er come yet", Liu Zhang said a little anxiously, "Come on, take a look, what kind of reputation is this guy doing?" ”
"My lord, it's not good, the eldest prince is practicing boxing in the garden gazebo, and for some reason, the pavilion suddenly collapsed and pressed the eldest prince underneath", a small guy ran into the hall in a panic, and it was the servant who was sent to invite the eldest prince Liu Xun.
"This rebel, why is he always perverse, let's go to the garden and take a look, what kind of reputation this little beast is doing?" Liu Zhang's wife died of dystocia because of Liu Xun's childbirth, which left a shadow in his heart, and this son has always been perverse, so he has the idea of abolishing his grandson and establishing a child.
At that moment, Liu Zhang flicked his sleeves angrily and took the lead in walking out of the meeting hall, a group of civil and military officials followed closely behind him, and the officials of Liu Zhang's family all had a schadenfreude expression.
Huang Quan and Wang Lei both shook their heads, they couldn't imagine that this eldest prince was a mud that couldn't support the wall, and he still spoke well for him in vain.
"Little brute, which one are you singing?" Liu Zhang looked at Liu Xun, who was crawling out of a pile of rotten tile pillars, and reprimanded with an iron face, "You fight cocks and lackeys on weekdays, look for flowers and ask willows, and you don't learn and have no skills, but today you actually made such a faceless thing, it seems that it will not work if you don't abolish your position as the eldest son." ”
"Back to his father's words, the child usually remembers his father's teachings, and has long since changed his past mistakes and stopped doing those ridiculous things. Today I was practicing boxing in the pavilion, but I didn't know that I missed it for a while, and the fist wind reached it, and it collapsed the pavilion", Liu Xun wiped the dust on his face and replied with his hand, "According to the child's observation, Zhang Lu's ambition in Hanzhong is a wolf, and I am afraid that he will offend my Yizhou in the near future." The child is worried that there will be a big war in the future, and he is practicing martial arts diligently, who thinks that there will be such a scene, it is the reason why the child has not thought it through, please punish his father."
Yixi's words were neither humble nor arrogant, Huang Quan and Wang couldn't help but nod secretly, "Who said that the eldest prince only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, just listening to this speech, the eldest prince is a motivated person." If the lord wants to mention the matter of abolishing the elder and the young again, I should try my best to dissuade it. ”
Yan Yan's heart moved, and he asked: "Dare to ask the eldest prince, the prince said that Zhang Lu will come to invade the realm in the near future, is there any basis?" Or is it based on your own speculation? ”
Liu Xun's eyes flashed, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "Zhang Lu will definitely invade the border in the near future, and if our army does not prepare early, it will inevitably suffer defeat." If Liu Xun is wrong, he is willing to be punished by military law. ”
Just kidding, in his previous life, he was familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and Zhang Lu temporarily attached himself to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang suspected Zhang Lu of being disobedient, killed Zhang Lu's mother and brother, Zhang Lu led his troops to attack, and defeated Liu Zhang's army, which is recorded in the history books.
From the moment Liu Xun was struck by lightning, this Liu Xun's soul was no longer that gentleman.
This is a biologist from a later generation, whose real name is Liu Bang, and the guy who founded the Han Dynasty has the same name. Liu Bang was infected with a biological virus in an experiment and inadvertently traveled to this era.
"Big brother, I'm afraid this is your speculation, are you sure that Zhang Lu will definitely come to attack? I think you are afraid of collapsing the gazebo, lest you be punished by your father, so you deliberately made up this lie to deceive everyone. Do you know what the crime is to lie about the military situation and shake people's hearts? Liu Xian looked unbelievable, this eldest brother, who has never been motivated, usually walks with a limp, and his mouth full of nonsense is as unreliable as his leg.
"Second brother, do you distrust your brother so much, or are you selfish, what do you have to think? General Zhang, do you think Zhang Lu will commit a crime in the near future? The first half of the sentence is said to Liu Yan, this nominal younger brother is plotting to seize the position of his eldest son, Liu Xun is not ignorant, but the second half of the sentence is said to Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren is a famous general in Shu, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang lost his armor and shot Liu Bei's military division Pang Tong, and he was also loyal and righteous, swearing not to surrender, and was a rare talent under Liu Zhang.
"I look at the eldest prince's analysis, which is very reasonable. Lord, Zhang Lu's tiger and wolf generation, we must not be on guard, lest we be caught off guard by him", Zhang Ren has not spoken, he knows that Liu Zhang has the intention of abolishing his heir, this eldest son of the Liu family has always been notorious, and he does not have much affection for this person.
For the sake of Yizhou's foundation, he really hopes that Liu Zhang will abolish this unsuccessful thing. However, Liu Xun's words today made Zhang Ren's impression of him change greatly.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Lu has really shown signs of violating the border recently, but Zhang Ren has not grasped the military and political power in Yizhou, so he can't analyze it deeply.
"This doesn't look like what a gentleman said, it seems that this eldest son of the Liu family is a good man and is deeply hidden. Predicting the enemy first like this is the quality of a famous general. ”
"The last general also thinks that the eldest prince is reasonable, the lord should prepare early, and there may be a fierce battle in the coming day", said a general with a big waist and a sword eyebrows. This is another general under Liu Zhang, Ling Bao, who has always been loyal to Liu Zhang and has not been involved in the dispute between his concubines. Ling Bao is purely from a military point of view, and agrees with Liu Xun's point of view, anyway, even if it is a false alarm, there is no bad thing.
"Don't be deceived by some people's rhetoric, some of these collapsed pillars are scorched, they are a sign of fire, not a sign of boxing and collapse", Zhao Wei, who was old and treacherous, said coldly, and immediately diverted everyone's attention.
He has always supported Liu Xian, Liu Zhang's second son seems to be powerful, but in fact he is just a reckless man, and it is easy to manipulate Zhao Wei.
Liu Zhang leaned down and inspected the collapsed pillars, and sure enough, some of the pillars had burnt marks on the fractures, and his anger was not trivial.
"Little brute, what else do you have to say?" Liu Zhang was angry that one Buddha was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
