Chapter 1244: Approaching the Enthronement
Gongsun Lan's reaction was much more than Gongsun Kang expected.
He was stunned for a moment, looked up at Gongsun Lan and asked, "Isn't this person sent by my sister?" ”
"It's not!" Looking at the body of the assassin on the ground, Gongsun Lan shook his head and said, "The assassin arranged by the little sister will come to the eldest brother's tent tomorrow evening, and it is waiting in the camp at this time. ”
Looking at Gongsun Lan with a suspicious face, Gongsun Kang's eyes narrowed, and he asked coldly, "Little sister, can you summon the assassin in front of your tent?" ”
"Someone!" As soon as Gongsun Kang's words fell, Gongsun Lan shouted outside the tent.
One of the soldiers who had followed her to the tent strode into the tent and stood behind her with his fists clenched.
Turning his head and beckoning to the pro-soldier, when the pro-soldier stepped forward, Gongsun Lan whispered something to him.
The soldier answered, turned and left the tent.
stared suspiciously at Gongsun Lan and the pro-soldier, but Gongsun Du did not speak.
He still didn't believe that the assassin who was killed by the guards could not have been sent by Gongsun Lan.
The brother and sister didn't say anything more, and after a while, the curtain was opened, and the soldiers who had just gone out clasped their fists and said to Gongsun Lan: "General Qiyu, people are here!" ”
"Call him in and talk!" Nodding, Gongsun Lan commanded.
After receiving the order, the soldier went out of the tent again.
Before the soldiers walked out of the tent, a man wearing the armor of the Liaodong Army stepped into the tent.
As soon as this man entered the tent, Gongsun Kang saw that he was not an ordinary soldier.
He has a burly physique, a long sword at his waist, his hands naturally hanging down at his sides, and his knuckles are unusually thick, so it can be seen at a glance that he is a swordsman who has been holding a sword all year round.
Looking at the man who entered the tent, Gongsun Kang asked Gongsun Lan, "This person is the one who was ordered by his sister to enter a certain tent?" ”
"Exactly!" With a fist in response, Gongsun Lan said: "Little sister originally planned to ask him to enter the eldest brother's tent tomorrow night, but I didn't want someone to be the first to get there!"
Staring at Gongsun Lan, Gongsun Kang's face always remained suspicious.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said to Gongsun Lan: "The person who was killed is not sent by the sister, who will come?" ”
"The situation in Liaodong is complicated, and there are many people who want to take the life of the eldest brother!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Gongsun Lan said: "Big brother should be careful, don't really be a bad man!" ”
Her words made Gongsun Kang laugh in his heart.
The entire Liaodong, I am afraid that it is in her calculations, she will remind her family not to pay attention to others, which really makes Gongsun Kang speechless for a while.
I thought that the assassin must be sent by Gongsun Lan, but there was no evidence, and Gongsun Kang couldn't say anything, but he stared at her with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
In the Qin army camp stationed on the border of Liaodong, Pang Tong and Lu Bu stood side by side on the edge of the barracks, looking at the territory of Liaodong in the distance.
Where they could see, there was no Liaodong Army, let alone Cao Army and Goryeo Army.
From a distance, Liaodong seems to be immersed in tranquility.
"It won't be long before our army can enter Liaodong!" Staring into the distance, Pang Tong said to Lu Bu with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "On the day of His Highness's accession to the throne, I can't wait to send Liaodong, and after he ascends the throne, I can also send Liaodong to His Highness!" ”
Staring into the distance like Pang Tong, Lu Bu did not speak.
The army led by him has been stationed on the border of Liaodong for several days, and the Qin army has never set foot in Liaodong for half a step.
Lu Bu and the soldiers of the Qin army under his command had long been panicked, but Pang Tong did not give the order to enter Liaodong for a long time.
When Pang Tong came to Liaodong, Liu Wei had already ordered things properly.
Every movement of the army is decided by Pang Tong, and Lu Bu's authority is only responsible for dispatching troops and leading the army to fight when fighting.
There is no fighting, and all affairs are said by Pang Tong.
Staring into the distance, Lu Bu frowned slightly, and after a long time, he asked Pang Tong: "Military Division, the last general only wants to know, when will our army enter Liaodong." ”
"Wait a few more days!" Turning his head and grinning at Lu Bu, Pang Tong said: "Wen Hou doesn't need to be anxious, there is no big chaos in Liaodong at the moment, our army is going to wait for it to rise up in chaos before going on a conquest!" ”
Although he was anxious in his heart, Pang Tong said that it was not yet time to conquer, and Lu Bu didn't say much, so he didn't say anything.
Liaodong is already in chaos, and the Qin army is also waiting for the best time to enter Liaodong, but Liu Wei in Luoyang City is on the eve of his accession to the throne.
The entire Luoyang City is full of lights, and the streets are full of soldiers and civilians, and everyone is running to tell each other, celebrating the enthronement of King Qin!
In the palace of King Qin, Liu Xie's residence.
Standing in front of the window of the inner room, with his hands behind his back, looking at the guards and maids who were busy outside the window for King Qin's enthronement, there was an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth.
It has been many days since he came to Luoyang, and it is only today that he has a feeling of finally being liberated.
King Qin is about to replace him on the throne of the Han Emperor, and in the past, he was still entangled in how he would gain a foothold in the world if he lost the throne.
When the day really came to give up the throne, he calmed down in his heart.
Without the identity of the emperor, there is no longer any need to entangle for the restoration of the Han Dynasty and the preservation of the ancestral inheritance, he is like unloading a heavy burden, and the whole person is relaxed.
"Majesty!" Liu Xie had been standing by the window for a long time, and Queen Fu walked behind him and called him softly.
Hearing Empress Fu call him, Liu Xie turned his head and smiled slightly and said, "In two days, the title of Your Majesty will be given to King Qin!" ”
"But are you unwilling?" Afraid that Liu Xie was still unwilling in his heart, Queen Fu asked in a low voice.
Shaking his head, Liu Xie turned his face to look out the window again, and said faintly: "I have not made any achievements in the throne, if it were not for the King of Qin, this great Han country would be lost to me sooner or later." Now giving up the throne to the King of Qin is exactly what the ancestors and ancestors want, and it is what the people of the Han Dynasty hope for. How can I go against the sky? ”
Although Liu Xie's words were lonely, they were not vicissitudes, and Queen Fu heard it in her ears, and she also knew that he had already stopped remembering the throne, and her heart was a little more settled.
"I heard that you wrote a letter to Fuwan in your early years?" After standing at the window for a while, Liu Xie turned around and asked Queen Fu.
"How does Your Majesty know?" Liu Xie's words surprised Queen Fu, and she hurriedly asked.
"There are a few things in the world that people do, but the world doesn't know!" Shaking his head, Liu Xie said softly: "Fortunately, the King of Qin has broken through Xuchang, if Cao Cao knows about this, your life is afraid to be in danger!" ”
Listening to what Liu Xie said, Queen Fu pursed her lips tightly and didn't say anything more.
At the beginning, she wrote a letter to Fu Wan, asking Fu Wan to lead the army to attack Cao Cao, but Fu Wan was afraid that Cao Cao would be powerful and did not respond.
Now that I think about it, there was something wrong with that.
If Cao Cao really knows, I'm afraid she will be like Concubine Dong, and she will end up in a defeated family.
"I was waiting in Xuchang that day, you had intended to kill Cao Cao, but now why are you in favor of King Qin's accession to the throne?" Since coming to Luoyang, Liu Xie felt that Queen Fu was very different from the past, and he had doubts in his heart and asked her.
Lowering her eyelids, Queen Fu thought for a moment before she said to him: "Cao Cao is a foreign minister, the minister is strong and the king is weak, and he coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the concubine is the queen, so she refuses to sit idly by. The King of Qin and His Majesty are in the same vein, and the throne of His Majesty in the early years was also obtained from the hands of the King of Qin. Now that the King of Qin has ascended the throne, His Majesty is just returning the throne to him. After returning the throne, His Majesty no longer needs to ask the world to conquer, and the Great Han Temple will be revitalized and handed over to the King of Qin! ”
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but Liu Xie did not say anything.
It was only at this time that he knew that in the eyes of Empress Fu, he, the emperor, had done something unjust.
This is still the case for married couples, let alone people in the world!
There was a sigh in his heart, and after a long time, Liu Xie nodded, although he had no words, but his actions showed that he agreed with Queen Fu's statement.
Liu Xie has already made plans to make concessions, and at this time, Liu Wei is also surrounded by his princesses.
The princesses gathered around him, as the head of the harem, and Tang Ji personally helped him try on the newly made court clothes.
Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the robe is not still yellow, the newly made robe is a yard of pure black, which is inlaid with gold edge patterns, which looks very extravagant.
With the help of Tang Ji and putting on the emperor's robes, Liu Wei turned around in front of the princesses and asked them, "How?" Can this king have the appearance of an emperor? ”
"If Your Highness does not have the appearance of an emperor, there will be no one in this world who has such an appearance!" With a sweet smile, Tang Ji whispered to him: "When His Royal Highness ascends the throne, the army will have more reasons to crusade against the ministers, and many princes will also die down and be loyal to His Majesty!" ”
Grinning at Tang Ji, Liu Wei strode to the first seat in the hall and sat down, and said to her and the princesses: "The decline of the Han Dynasty is due to the fact that the ministers are in charge, and the enemy army is unreasonable!" After the king ascended the throne, he would announce to the world that the people were in distress, and the people would be amnesty for three years, and the people would not have to pay taxes, but there would be forced labor, and wages would be paid according to the head and labor, and the court would no longer loot the wealth of the people! ”
"Your Royal Highness is in this Great Qin, this is the case, if the world is peaceful in the future, there are no taxes, how can the imperial court raise a large army? How to build civil engineering? Before Liu Wei's voice fell, Cai Yan, who had some ideas, asked softly: "If this is the case, I'm afraid the treasury is empty......
"The income of the imperial court will come from the merchants!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei said: "If the businessmen make profits, if they don't collect taxes, it won't take many years, and the people will be unequal, which is not beautiful." Collect taxes on merchants, but ask all localities to protect merchants, and those merchants have nothing to say! ”
"Your Highness!" While talking to the princesses, a maid appeared outside the door of the front hall, leaned over and said to Liu Wei: "The general and the staff are waiting in the front yard, intending to discuss the matter of ascending the throne with His Highness!" ”
