Chapter 387 The Emperor's Candidate
Liu Bei's proposal, Liu Zhang on the side was stunned at first, and then when he noticed that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Oh, no, I know that my ability is limited, and I can't take such a big responsibility." In my opinion, Brother Xuande is also surnamed Liu, and his courage and ability are stronger than mine, so he can do it. β
Liu Zhang recommended Liu Bei instead, which gave people the feeling that the emperor was just out of the two of them.
Seeing this scene, the princes on the side were all biting their teeth. Why, we came so far to see if the two of you couldn't act here? Who is the big fool?
"That's enough." When he saw the two of them behaving like this, Dong Zhuo shouted angrily and said: "This is from the meeting of the princes, not the meeting of your people surnamed Liu, if there is something to talk about." β
"Dong thief, what are you talking about? What are you? If it weren't for your chaotic government, the world would be so chaotic, and in the final analysis, you are the culprit. It was Liu Bei who suddenly stood up, and he pointed at Dong Zhuo in anger and said.
To say that Liu Bei is also a person who is extremely forbearing. But this time the emperor's death did give him a great stimulus.
Although he didn't get much light when this emperor was there, it also made it impossible for others to do something to him openly, because his surname was Liu, and that alone was enough.
What's more, he also privately contacted Dong Cheng, the father of Concubine Dong, and several other ministers of the court, just waiting for the right opportunity, he took the emperor out and sent him to him. In this way, he has the opportunity and power like Cao Cao.
But he never thought that everything was still being prepared, but the emperor died, which made him feel that his expectations for many years would not come to fruition, how could he not be annoyed?
What's more, as soon as the emperor dies, others will not give him the face of the so-called imperial uncle in the future, and his position will become precarious.
Dong Zhuo didn't expect that on such an occasion, Liu Bei would turn his small intestine with him, and immediately rolled his eyes and said: "My dignified master doesn't argue with a person who weaves straw shoes." β
After saying this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but point his fingers, but that really made Liu Bei angry.
If he accused Dong Zhuo of turning over his small intestine before, then how can this person not say what he said now? Although it is true that he made straw sandals for a living, it was then, not now.
Everyone doesn't want the disgraceful side to be mentioned, and now Dong Zhuo has just raised it, how can Liu Bei not be annoyed. Although he tried to suppress his temper, he really couldn't do it now. "Dong thief, you mislead the country and harm the country, and you should be punished by the nine clans."
"Liu Bei, it's wishful thinking that you want to be the emperor." Dong Zhuo also fought back unambiguously.
"That's enough." Seeing that the two were about to be scolded like people in the market, Cao Cao couldn't help but slap the table, and this sound made the entire venue quiet again.
Today's matter is mainly to discuss the matter after the death of the emperor, if you can find a new person, it is the best, if you can't find it, see if there is any other way to solve it. But just such a quarrel will never lead to anything, it is not good to get one, some princes can't stand it, and when they turn away, it is impossible to discuss anything.
You must know how difficult it is to summon these princes together, if it weren't for the death of the emperor this time, I am afraid that it would not be possible.
After shouting out to curb this fruitless quarrel, Cao Cao just wanted to turn the topic back, at least he had to achieve his goal, so he shouted and said: "The emperor has just died, and he must not want to see us in a mess." Okay, let's get back to business, I proposed Ah Hua as the crown prince, do you all agree? β
"Disagree?" Yuan Shao was still the first to speak out against it.
Next, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Dong Zhuo, and even Ma Teng expressed their disagreement.
And the only ones who did not express their opinions were Zhang Chao and Sun Jian.
These two people don't say anything, but it doesn't mean that they agree, but they know that this resolution can't be passed, after all, there are a total of eight princes, and now five people have clearly expressed their opposition, so the result has already been made, so why do you need to say more?
Seeing that the proposal was rejected, Cao Cao's face was naturally not good-looking. After forcibly suppressing his anger, he asked the crowd: "The so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, let's talk about it, what should we do next?" β
"Anyway, Ah Hua must not be able to." Yuan Shao was the first to speak again.
Cao Cao really couldn't laugh or cry at this person who was doing everything against him, he seemed to recognize himself, as long as he proposed it, there was no reason to agree. For this reason, he can only choose to ignore this person.
After Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang also expressed their opinions, that is, it must be surnamed Liu.
Hearing that the two still insisted on this opinion, the other princes couldn't help but sneer in their hearts, obviously these two people wanted to take this opportunity to become the new emperor, and this wishful thinking was quite good.
Faced with the wishful thinking of these two people, the other princes were secretly snickering, but only Cao Cao's face flashed an unbelievable smile, and then he suddenly said: "Even so, I also agree to let the person surnamed Liu inherit the throne, after all, the Han family belongs to the Liu family, which cannot be questioned." β
Suddenly, Cao Cao changed his attitude, which caused the other princes to be stunned, could it be that he had formed an alliance with Liu Bei in private? If that's the case, then things are a little bit uninteresting, with Liu Bei is equivalent to pulling Liu Zhang, plus Cao Cao himself is three votes, then one more vote is half of the number, and if you have two votes, you can control the situation.
Thinking of this, when these princes looked at others, there was a hint of vigilance in their eyes, obviously they were all observing who was Cao Cao's accomplice.
At this time, the other princes were suspicious of each other, and Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, who had been proposing that someone surnamed Liu take over the emperor, were stunned, and they couldn't imagine that Cao Cao would suddenly give in, what does this mean? They wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that Cao Cao really wanted to recommend them.
At the meeting, everyone was stunned because of Cao Cao's words that he agreed with the person surnamed Liu to be the emperor.
Zhang Chao is also a little unreasonable, but he can definitely believe that Cao Cao will not conspire with Liu Bei, because they are opponents in this history, but they have never really formed an alliance, let alone such an important event?
But that's the case, what tricks is Cao Cao playing, and what does he want?
Zhang Chao was a little unsure, but he believed that it wouldn't be long before Cao Cao would say it himself.
Sure enough, when everyone was still secretly frightened, thinking about what was going on, Cao Cao said again: "I proposed Ah Hua before, it was indeed a bit reckless, just considering that the first emperor liked this person very much, but he did forget the bloodline. But thanks to everyone's reminders, even if this is the case, I propose that Liu Helai succeed him as the new emperor. This person is young and sensible, and he is also rich and rich, and he is generous and benevolent, so he must be the best candidate. β
As he spoke, Cao Cao's face was still very satisfied, as if he really admired this person to the extreme.
And as soon as the name Liu He came out, the scene suddenly became much quieter.
If you want to talk about Liu Hezhi personally, he may not be famous in history, but his father Liu Yu is indeed very famous.
In history, he is a popular king of the Three Kingdoms who would rather die than an emperor, and his realm is beyond Cao Cao, and Liu Bei is too much.
Liu Yu, the word Bo'an. A relative of the Han family, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, after Liu Qiang, the king of the East China Sea. Zeng Niu Youzhou Thorn History, Ganling State Minister, Zongzheng and other positions. Later, he was the pastor of Youzhou, the great Sima, and the marquis of Xiangben.
In the late Han Dynasty, there was a very influential person surnamed Liu, but he was later killed by Gongsun Zhan. But he did have a son, Liu He, who was really close to Liu.
Liu He also has a little fame among the younger generation, but because of Liu Yu's death, he disappeared from everyone's sight, but he never thought that he had been protected by Cao Cao. In this way, this person seems to have been mentally prepared for this for a long time.
It is no wonder that as soon as Cao Cao mentioned this person's name, the other princes would be silent.
When everyone was shocked that Cao Cao had already prepared, he also spoke: "Liu He's identity is needless to say, and he is the person surnamed Liu, so he must meet everyone's expectations." If you are still in chaos today, you really need an emperor who can turn the tide, in my opinion, this person can do it. β
Liu He is indeed surnamed Liu, and he is still after Liu Yu, which is clear to everyone. As soon as this point of view came out, it made it difficult for everyone to say something, and even Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were speechless for a while.
Seeming to be very satisfied with the situation in front of him, Cao Cao smiled and said: "In this way, everyone has no objection to Liu He's succession to the new emperor, if this is the case, then the matter is decided, seven days after the emperor's spirit, it is the new emperor's succession ceremony, and I hope that no one will leave at that time, and I missed this important moment." β
Cao Cao said a word, and after saying this, even if he waved his hand, it meant that everyone could go back to rest, and he wanted to get up and leave in one step.
But at this time, Liu Bei did suddenly say again: "Slow." β
"Oh, what else can't you do Brother Xuande?" Seeing Liu Bei speak up, Cao Cao asked in a questioning tone. Just now, you said that you want to set up the Liu family, so I set up Liu He, what other opinions do you have?
