At this time, Han Ran stood up again and asked, "Master Xiu, I also have a question below. ”

Han Ran is the younger brother of Han Xi, a general under Liu Biao, in the fourth year of Jian'an, Han Xi was sent by Liu Biao, and Liu Hu led 5,000 spearmen as Huang Zu's vanguard to resist the Jiangdong soldiers, and finally the whole army was annihilated, and Han Xi and Liu Hu died in battle.

After Han Xi's death, Han Ran became an official and served under Liu Biao's account, and was quite valued by Liu Biao. Although Han Ran's status is not as good as Kuai Liang and others, it is also quite weighty.

Liu Xiu's expression was neither happy nor sad, and said, "What questions does Mr. Han have?"

Han Ran replied, "I want to know, when the lord died, did he make a will?"

In Han Ran's view, Liu Xian and Fu Xun's insistence was completely meaningless.

If Liu Biao made a will, it means that Liu Biao's opinion can only be followed. Even if Liu Qi is the eldest son, it is difficult to object. Of course, if there is a will, it is natural to act according to the will. If not, maybe it's really not, maybe Liu Biao set up Liu Qi but was destroyed by Liu Xiu. It's hard to deduce what is so boring, but you always have to ask.

Han Ran's words were to test Liu Xiu.

Liu Xianfu Xun also had a smile on his face, and Liu Xian said: "Dare to ask Master Xiu, does the lord have a last word?"

Liu Xiu said: "Yes! When my father died, he made a will. ”

Han Ran said: "Please take it out for us to watch." "The civil officials present are all people with outstanding literary talents, and they are all familiar with Liu Biao's handwriting, and they can distinguish the authenticity at a glance.

As long as Liu Xiu took out the will, it could be identified immediately.

Liu Xiu instructed: "Mr. Jibo, take it out." ”

"Yes!"

Yi nodded and took the cloth from his cuffs.

He spread out the cloth, then grabbed the left and right corners with both hands, spread the cloth, and said slowly: "Everyone, this is the lord's own handwriting last night, and he also pressed the lord's fingerprints. You are all familiar with the handwriting of the lord, please come and see it. ”

Fu Xun and Liu Xian took the lead and walked up, and when the two of them saw it, their eyes widened.

It's really a choice for Liu Xiu to inherit Jingzhou!

Liu Biao wrote very clearly in his will, saying that Liu Xiu was outstanding, literary and strategic, obedient and filial, and was the most suitable person to inherit Jingzhou. After reading Liu Biao's will, Fu Xun and Liu Xian were silent.

Han Ran also stepped forward to read it, he carefully looked at every word, and the strokes of these fonts trembled a little. In this respect, it was written by Liu Biao, because Liu Biao is old and on the verge of death, and the words written down will show signs of shaking.

Han Ran no longer doubted, and arched his hand: "The lower official obeys the lord's orders!"

In a word, Han Ran made a decision directly.

Liu Xiu's gaze swept over Zhang Yun, Fu Xun and Liu Xian, with a sense of scrutiny in his eyes.

If these people are ignorant of current affairs, then ......

At this time, Zhang Yun immediately said: "The last general will obey the decision of the lord, the lord has chosen to inherit Jingzhou from the princess, and the last general is willing to serve the lord of the lord." "So far, Zhang Yun has not been reckless, and simply works for Liu Xiu. Besides, he and Liu Xiu are relatives after all, although the two once had a holiday, it is impossible for Liu Xiu to make things too difficult.

Liu Xiu bowed slightly, and his face showed a satisfied look.

Liu Xian's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Liu Xian has always supported Liu Qi, and he naturally can't let Liu Xiu take over Jingzhou smoothly. Liu Xian thought for a moment and said, "Master Xiu, there is a sentence in the next sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"What?"

Liu Xiu's eyes showed a touch of coldness.

It seems that Liu Xian is going to stick to the end, and he won't support him anymore.

If so, Liu Xiu didn't mind sacrificing the butcher's knife.

Liu Xian said: "The candidate for Jingzhou Mu has always been appointed by the imperial court. The lord was in charge of Jingzhou, which was also an order issued by the imperial court. But now just by virtue of the will of the lord, it is probably unreasonable to set up a Xiu Gongzi to take over Jingzhou. In the next opinion, if Gongzi Qi or Gongzi Xiu wants to take over Jingzhou, it should be appointed by the Son of Heaven. ”

This is pure sophistry.

At the beginning, Liu Xiu wanted to inherit Jingzhou, and Liu Xian said that if he wanted to establish a successor, Liu Qi must take over Jingzhou. After Liu Xiu took out Liu Biao's will, Liu Xian proposed that Liu Biao's will was unreasonable and had to be appointed by the Son of Heaven, obviously not allowing Liu Xiu to inherit Jingzhou.

In fact, after the princes went their separate ways, the so-called court appointments were already superficial, just meaningful, what to do, what to do.

There was no panic in Liu Xiu's eyes.

Looking at Fu Xun, Liu Xiuse said, "Mr. Fu, what do you think? Do you also think that the appointment of the Son of Heaven should prevail?"

A trace of killing intent flashed in Liu Xiu's eyes.

Originally, Liu Xiu thought that Liu Xian and others insisted on establishing their successors and growing up only because of issues of principle. Now it seems that he was obviously subdued by Liu Qi, and Liu Qi is not simple.

Fu Xun replied: "Master Xiu, I approve the decision of the lord under your majesty. ”

In a word, Fu Xun changed the direction of the wind.

Fu Xun saw the killing intent in Liu Xiu's expression. If he persists, he may be destroyed. When Fu Xun changed his tone, Liu Xian's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Fu Xun, you ......"

Fu Xun said: "Mr. Shizong, follow the orders of the lord. ”

Liu Xian suddenly had a feeling of being trapped, and even had a thought of getting angry. He and Fu Xun have always been people on the same line, but now, Fu Xun has changed his mind and let Liu Xian fight alone.

Liu Xiu asked again: "Princess, does anyone still agree with Liu Xian's statement?"

Wang Cang stepped forward, shook his head and said, "Xiu Gongzi, Liu Xian is purely messing around, Xiu Gongzi doesn't need to care." Such a person will be blasted out of the state pastoral mansion directly. ”

Once, Wang Cang worked for Liu Biao, but because Wang Cang's appearance was very ordinary, he did not have the appearance of a majestic instrument, so he was not reused. Liu Xiu was in charge, and Wang Cang's heart suddenly became lively. If you can get Liu Xiu's reuse, then you will be able to show your ambitions.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Zhong Xuan's words, this official thinks it's good." But if the museum doesn't take care of it, then it won't take care of it. This is a person and a worker, and it must occupy a rational word. ”

Wang Cang said: "Master Xiu, Liu Xian is messing around after all. ”

Liu Xiu was calm, and took out an edict from his cuff without hurry, and said, "Zhong Xuan, you come to read the edict." ”

"No!"

Wang Cang nodded, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu actually asked him to read it, which means that he has at least Liu Xiu's approval. Everyone in the hall heard the word edict, and their faces showed surprise.

The edict means that it is at least an edict issued by the Son of Heaven, how could Liu Xiu have an edict?

Yi Kuai Yue and Wen Ping looked at each other, and their eyes showed surprise.

They don't know about it.

Beforehand, Liu Xiu didn't say it. In the hearts of the three of them, Liu Xiu's unfathomable thoughts suddenly appeared, but they didn't expect that at this time, Liu Xiu still had a hand.

The same goes for the other officials in the lobby.

Originally, the edict of the Son of Heaven was proposed to block Liu Xiu's inheritance of the official position of state pastor. Now no one expected that Liu Xiu directly took out the edict. It was as if Liu Xiu had already laid a pit, waiting for them to jump in.

Especially the edict is not something that anyone can easily get, so Liu Xiu took it out.

Liu Xian stood in the lobby, looked at Liu Xiu, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, as Liu Xiu took out the edict of the Son of Heaven, things were out of his control.

However, the situation has always been under Liu Xiu's control.

Every time he raised a question, Liu Xiu could easily resolve it.

Wang Cang took the edict from Liu Xiu's hand, read it cursoryly, and looked even more surprised. Because the content of the edict is very direct, it is the arrangement to appoint Liu Xiu as the pastor of Jingzhou. Not only that, but it was also stamped with the seal of the Son of Heaven. This is an appointment issued by the Son of Heaven himself, and it is dignified and upright, and there is no fraud at all.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Cang read out the contents of the edict.

After Wang Cang read it again, he turned the edict over and turned the pages towards all the officials for them to see.

After reading it, everyone understood it thoroughly.

It turned out that there was really an edict.

However, they also thought it was incredible, they all knew Liu Xiu's situation, Liu Xiu only went to Xu County once, could it be that he got the edict at that time? In this way, Liu Xiu had this edict early on, and even the Son of Heaven wanted Liu Xiu to take charge of Jingzhou early in the morning. Thinking about it again, that is, Liu Xiu has always had the intention of competing for the heir of Jingzhou, but he did not show it.

Now that Liu Biao has died of illness, Liu Xiucai took out the edict.

"Goo-dong!"

Liu Xian swallowed, his eyes frightened.

At this moment, he truly realized the horror of Liu Xiu. Everything, everything, is under Liu Xiu's control, including his every move.

Liu Xiu asked, "Liu Xian, what else do you have to say now?"

Liu Xian arched his hand and said: "There is nothing to say about the humble position. ”

Liu Xiu's edict played a role in fixing the needle of the sea. When the edict is taken out, it is already a sure thing, and it is already an irreversible thing.

No one is a fool, and no one will argue with Liu Xiu at this time.

At this point, if there are still people who stand up and question it, it is really looking for death, and they really hit their necks with Liu Xiu's knife edge.

"Meet the Lord!"

Wang Cang, as the vanguard of urgency, held the edict in his hand, turned around and bowed to Liu Xiu.

"Meet the Lord!"

"Meet the Lord!"

Kuai Yue Wenpin and Yi Zhi and others got up and bowed one after another.

The rest of the officials also bowed and saluted, and called out to the lord. At this moment, even if some officials in the hall had other ideas in their hearts, they no longer dared to question Liu Xiu's legitimacy, so they could only accept it.

Among them, those who are loyal to Liu Xiu are excited.

The more powerful Liu Xiu is, the better their future will be, and they are naturally happy to see Liu Xiu presiding over Jingzhou strongly
