Faced with an irreversible future, Empress Dowager Dong even went out in person to persuade Liu Bei while shedding tears, hoping that Liu Bei would change his mind.

She was still unwilling to give up on wooing Liu Bei.

"Xuande, although Bian's is also my grandson, but his mother is He after all, He is fierce and vicious, it is impossible for Bian's not to be affected by her, Bian's is the emperor, He will definitely find ways to retaliate against you, and Bian's will definitely not let you go.

Xuande, even if it's for your own sake, you can't be so obedient! My son is thinking too much, worrying too much, and it is also his blood and bones, why can't he inherit the throne? It's just that you need someone to support you, Xuande, aren't you the best supporter?

After you support Xie as the crown prince, and after Xie ascends the throne as the emperor, you can justifiably depose the He family, and become a general. Why can't you figure out such a thing? ”

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has a great favor to me, how can I go against Your Majesty's wishes?"

Liu Bei looked at the Empress Dowager Dong with an embarrassed face, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty has explained many times that you want to argue with the prince as the crown prince, I am a courtier, if I go against Your Majesty's wishes, isn't it disloyal?" How could I do such a thing?

And everyone in the world thinks that the prince should belong to the prince's debate, which is a well-known thing, Qingzhou Mu Liu Yu, Xuzhou Mu Liu Yan and other important ministers also feel so, the prince's accession to the throne should be based on the emperor's edict, how can it be decided by me? ”

Empress Dowager Dong didn't expect Liu Bei to be so rigid and loyal, on the one hand, she felt relieved, and on the other hand, she also felt depressed, crying and laughing.

You're really addicted to being a tool!

"Xuande, don't you really care about your own future? Are you really not worried that the future debate will choose to retaliate against you because of the past? Even if you don't care, what about your descendants? What about your son? Choose the Prince's Association, and the future of you and your family will be stable! ”

"This ......"

When it came to this aspect, Liu Bei made a hesitant gesture at the right time.

Empress Dowager Dong finally saw hope, was overjoyed, and decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Xuande, I am clear about your loyalty, I am the Queen Mother, the mother of the Son of Heaven, no one knows your loyalty better than me, you are absolutely willing to support the will of the Son of Heaven, so if the Son of Heaven decides to make the Emperor the Prince, you will not object, right?"

"The Queen Mother, the ministers oppose the abolition of the elders and the young, but if the Son of Heaven must be like this, the ministers cannot be disloyal to the Son of Heaven."

Counting that Liu Hong should not be a few days away, this matter has also been confirmed, Liu Bei made up his mind and felt that the time was almost up, so he gave Empress Dowager Dong a relatively clear statement.

Empress Dowager Dong was overjoyed and felt that there was finally hope for the future.

Liu Bei still cares about his family in the end.

Subsequently, Liu Bei directly found Zhang Rang and gave him a "face-to-face lecture".

"The time is almost up, Lao Zhang, your next task is to try your best to assist the Queen Mother, persuade the Son of Heaven to change the Prince's Association as the crown prince when the Son of Heaven awakens, let the Prince's Association ascend the throne, and use the old hatred as a reason to persuade the Son of Heaven to abolish the queen."

Zhang Rang was stunned for a moment, and then was shocked.

"Didn't you always oppose the abolition of the young?"

"I am against it, of course I am against it, but if the Son of Heaven must do this, as a loyal minister, of course I must follow the will of the Son of Heaven, otherwise I will not be disloyal? In the Han Dynasty, loyalty is the most important thing, and the Son of Heaven comes first. ”

Liu Bei smiled: "Although I keep my will, I really can't disobey the order of the Son of Heaven, I can't be an unfaithful person, it's as simple as that." ”

Zhang Rang understood, Liu Bei was going to dump the pot to Liu Hong.

It doesn't matter, anyway, Zhang Rang has already bet on Liu Bei, and he has no idea about Liu Hong, the dying man.

But he thought it was strange.

"The prince's argument for the enthronement is the most orthodox, the prince's association is on the throne, and the opposition of the people of the world is probably very loud, even if you control Luoyang, it is estimated that there will be many people who oppose you with many reasons, and even attack you, aren't you worried?

For example, Qingzhou Mu Liu Yu, that is the most orthodox, before you persuaded him to withdraw his troops, but turned around and pushed the prince to the throne, are you not afraid that he will immediately turn his face with you and call on the people of the world to crusade against you? There are also Xuzhou Mu Liu Yan and Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan, these are all those who can take charge of the army. ”

Liu Bei nodded.

"That's right, these are all people who can take charge of the army, they are very likely to protest, they are very likely to be opposed, it is very likely that they will send troops to Luoyang, they do not agree with the ascension of the Prince's Association, the world is boiling, and the crowd is surging, but this is exactly my purpose."

Zhang Rang was stunned.

"Huh? Is this your purpose? Xuande, you ......"

"Let the people who oppose me all come up in one breath and stand up all of them, so that I don't have to go to find them one by one, and they all come out in one breath, so that I can uproot them all in one breath and eradicate them all, and after a big chaotic war, the Han can be stable."

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang calmly: "Lao Zhang, the reason for the turmoil in the Han world is that there are too many insects, this time, use the prince's association as a bait to deceive all the ill-intentioned people, let them show their heads, and then justifiably catch them all, what a good thing?" ”

"That's a thing that the world is opposed, you can't help but be too confident, aren't you?"

Zhang Rang said worriedly: "Although you have a strong army, do you know that you are facing the whole world?" Do you think about it again? ”

"If you don't have the ability and ambition to level the world, how can you lead the Han to a new life?"

Liu Bei laughed and said: "Just take this opportunity to try my catties, if I lose, then I will lose, but if I succeed, Lao Zhang, I will be able to prove that I am dominating the world, and no one will dare to resist me again, hahahahahaha!" ”

Looking at Liu Bei who was laughing, Zhang Rang suddenly realized that he seemed to have never really known Liu Bei.

He never seemed to really understand what Liu Bei was thinking in his heart.

Liu Bei has always played a bosom sister in front of him, who can solve anything, and he has never considered what Liu Bei needs to solve so many things.

In this way, Zhang Rang suddenly realized that his previous guess was most likely true.

Liu Bei is by no means as gentle and humble as he shows, and his heart definitely hides extremely hot desires.

And what impact this desire will have on the future, Zhang Rang is not sure.

It's just that he has no choice.

"Do you really have the confidence to be able to dominate the world?"

"If I can't, I won't come to Luoyang."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, soon, it won't take long, I will let you see your so-called enemy of the world, but so, the Han Dynasty has come to this day, not to mention that there are insects everywhere, it is still okay to pick out nine insects out of ten, since they are insects, they must be swept out, otherwise the Han Dynasty will not be able to maintain the world." ”

Zhang Rang was silent for a long time and shook his head.

"I don't know who the worm is, I just know that my life is in your hands, you must be cautious, ten million!"

"Well, I'll be careful."

Liu Bei patted Zhang Rang's shoulder, laughed and left.

Zhang Rang shook his head, with a hint of worry, and turned around to deal with the task given to him by Liu Bei.

How can it be so easy?

persuaded Liu Hongli and Liu Xie, and abolished Queen He, this is to throw down an extraterrestrial meteorite in the entire Luoyang and even the entire Han Dynasty!

Could it be that today's son also has the ability of Emperor Guangwu back then?

Zhang Rang didn't know.

On this day, Liu Hong did not wake up.

Liu Hong didn't wake up the next day.

On the third day, the first day of the fourth month, Liu Hong woke up, but he was even weaker, and his physical condition was even worse.

After the doctor's pulse, he remained silent on the surface, saying that Liu Hong was recovering, and secretly explained the truth to Zhang Rang and Dong Chong, who were asking, saying that Liu Hong was probably exhausted.

Hearing the doctor say this, thinking of the friendship that has been with him for many years, Zhang Rang is still a little sad.

"The Son of Heaven is in full bloom, how did it come to this point?"

"The Son of Heaven is prosperous in the spring and autumn, and he has not had any serious illness, but he has always loved drinking, and he is close to women, and the color of wine is the easiest to make the body empty, and it is okay not to get sick, once he is sick, there will be a big problem, and the Son of Heaven is unwilling to control and taboo, so the medicine is helpless...... I've done my best, but I can't do it, maybe there are other holy hands in the world who can turn things around, right? ”

The healer shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Rang and Dong Chong looked at each other, waved the doctor away, and then gathered together to discuss.

"Zhang Changshi, although you and I have never talked to each other, I think you should not agree with the prince to become the next son of heaven, right?"

Zhang Rang nodded.

"I hate He Jin no less than you, of course I don't agree with the prince to ascend the throne and become the emperor, as soon as he ascends the throne, how should I deal with myself? But now that the Son of Heaven is interested in the prince's debate, what can I do? ”

"The Queen Mother is still trying to persuade the Son of Heaven, and I am also trying to persuade the Son of Heaven, let's do our best to let the Son of Heaven change his mind."

Dong Zhong said in a low voice: "I also asked Zhang Changshi to draft an edict instead of the Son of Heaven, as long as the Son of Heaven nodded, he immediately used the seal, so that all this will be confirmed." ”
