Zhang Ranggang was about to open his mouth to say that Liu Bei explained his affairs, but he didn't expect Empress Dowager Dong to speak before him.

Empress Dowager Dong seemed to be very excited to hold Liu Hong's hand.

"My son, there's a way!"

"What's the solution?"

"Abolish that poisonous woman of the He family!"

Empress Dowager Dong said excitedly: "That poisonous woman who dares to murder the prince!" As long as she lives, the mountains and rivers of my Han family will not be at peace for a day! She's still a queen one day, and even I might be killed by her! What are you keeping her for? Waste her! Debate is no longer a son-in-law! ”

After Liu Hong heard this, he frowned, thought about it, and couldn't make up his mind.

"It's all at this time, if I am abolished, how will the people of the world think of this matter? Luoyang ...... It's finally settled down, if I abolish it now, I'm afraid that the He family and the Yuan family will do it immediately, and at that time, how should you deal with yourself? ”

"Your Majesty, in addition to the Xiyuan Army and the palace guards, aren't there more than 20,000 Liangzhou soldiers from Liu Xuande?"

Dong Zhong reminded with words: "We are doing our best to defend Luoyang City, and Liu Xuande echoes us outside the city, forming a horn, then even if the He clan and the Yuan clan have more troops, they are not our opponents!" ”

"Xuande...... Xuande ......"

Liu Hong closed his eyes and shook his head, and said weakly: "Xuande is against abolishing Chang Liyou, he won't agree to your ......"

"Your Majesty, Liu Xuande is a loyal minister, as long as Your Majesty speaks, how can he object?"

Zhang Rang said in a low voice: "As long as you call him and tell him your decision, with his loyalty, how can he oppose you?" ”

Liu Hong opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.

"Will Xuande support you?"

"Liu Xuande will only support you."

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, as long as you say a word, Liu Xuande will definitely support you, even if you take the prince as the prince, as long as you say a word, Liu Xuande will definitely not object!" ”

Liu Hong was noncommittal.

But he really didn't want to see his two remaining sons die after his death because of the political struggles of the imperial court.

This is unacceptable to him as a father.

"Go find Xuande to ......"

He waved his hand weakly.

Zhang Rang immediately rushed out of the palace.

Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhong almost cried with joy.

After Liu Bei received the news, he followed Zhang Rang to the palace, and before entering the palace, the two quietly talked about some details later.

Zhang Rang didn't seem to react until this time, and in terms of the operation of this matter, it seems that they are not completely passive.

"I haven't said anything about He Jin coming in to find me, but if I do, I can confirm the ambitions of He Jin and Yuan Kui, right? In that case, isn't our matter justified? Are there any other concerns? ”

Liu Bei smiled.

"Do you have proof? Do you have irrefutable evidence that this happened? This is your side of the story, as long as He Jin dies and does not admit it, with your credibility, how many people will believe it? ”

Zhang Rang was stunned on the spot, and then looked depressed.

"Damn the soldiers!"

"Don't blame the scholars, what you did before, you were to each other, don't say anything about anyone."

"At this time, you still help the scholars speak? You don't want to think about it, there is no suitable reason, the Son of Heaven wants you to support the abolition of the elder and the young, how should you explain to the people around you? They are against He Jin and Yuan Kui because they believe in you! You don't want to think about this? ”

"Of course I want to, I have a way."

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang with a smile.

Zhang Rang was stunned.

"Do you have a way?"

Liu Bei took out two bamboo tubes from his arms.

"Any idea what this is?"

"What?"

"A secret letter written by Yuan Kui to Dong Zhuo asking him to mobilize and state troops."

“！！！”

Zhang Rang's eyes widened: "How did you get it?" Dong Zhuo can even give you this? ”

"Dong Zhuo also wants to live."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "From the moment he decided to help me, he wanted Yuan Kui to die more than me, in order to let Yuan Kui die, he would do whatever it takes, these two secret letters Yuan Kui was burned by Dong Zhuo after reading it, but at that time, Dong Zhuo didn't know what the purpose was, he didn't burn it in time, and then, it was given to me." ”

Zhang Rang looked at the two bamboo tubes in Liu Bei's hands and swallowed his saliva.

"Can this be proven to be Yuan Kui's handiwork?"

"Dong Zhuo's testimony as a former official of the Yuan family, and then compare the handwriting with the table he put on in the court."

"What if someone else says it's a forgery?"

"He Jinjin's Bingzhou soldiers and Bingzhou officers in the barracks won't lie, as long as they stand up and say a word, He Jin and Yuan Kui won't be able to wash themselves even if they jump into Luoshui."

Liu Bei sneered: "The human and physical evidence, all are together." ”

"That ......"

"What else is there to say? He Jin and Yuan Kui conspired to rebel, and it was natural to kill them, the queen did not report it if she knew about it, and it was natural for her to be deposed, and the son of the prince's apologetic person was also suspected of not reporting it, could he still inherit the throne? ”

"It should ...... No way......"

"So, are there any more questions?"

"No ......"

Zhang Rang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly ecstatic emotions surged into his heart, clenched his fists tightly, and said with great joy: "Liu Xuande!" I was not mistaken! You can do this kind of thing! ”

"I really didn't make any effort, but I was dumbfounded by what they did."

Liu Bei put away the two bamboo tubes, shook his head and sighed: "If you want to do something big, how can you expose so many flaws and leak so much news?" I didn't really target them, I just did what I had to do.

As a result, when I finished what I had to do, I found that all the favorable conditions had converged on me, and they had done the rebellion that I should not have done!

And that He Jin, who actually didn't know anything about our relationship, and told you directly about the rebellion he was going to rebel against, didn't he even want to think about it, wouldn't you really tell the truth?

I don't know where he got his confidence, but it's all at this time, how can I lose? Lao Zhang, tell me, how can I lose? Against such a group of opponents, I don't think it's even hard to win. ”

Zhang Rang no longer cares about Liu Bei's evaluation, he only knows that this matter is done!

In the ecstasy, Zhang Rang suddenly felt a little strange.

"No, since you have such a certainty, what do you mean by what you said before that you are the enemy of the world and flatten the world? With such a valid reason, how can the people of the world oppose it? Who would dare? This is a rebellion, a rebellion that the benefactor can turn his back on! ”

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Liu Bei shook his head: "You will know sooner or later, don't be in a hurry at this time, for now, let's finish this matter first." ”

Zhang Rang was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand it for a while, but he didn't have that mind now, he quickly led Liu Bei to see Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, Liu Xuande is here!"

Liu Hong waved his hand.

"Xuande, come here."

Liu Hong stretched out his hand.

Liu Bei stepped forward, took Liu Hong's hand, and knelt on the edge of his bed.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here."

"Xuande, I'm dying......"

"Your Majesty, don't speak in vain! Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, how can there be any problems? ”

Liu Bei said loudly: "Your Majesty will definitely recover!" Which quack doctor healed His Majesty indiscriminately? Please behead this person! ”

Liu Bei was very excited, and in the eyes of Liu Hong and the others, this was the appearance of a great loyal minister.

Empress Dowager Dong looked at Liu Bei with satisfaction.

Dong Chong looked at Liu Bei with some emotion.

Only Zhang Rang lowered his head and didn't look at Liu Bei - he didn't know why, he always felt that he didn't want to see this scene with his own eyes.

Liu Hong was even more emotional, so he squeezed Liu Bei's hand.

"Xuande ......"

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Bei wiped the corners of his eyes and looked at Liu Hong.

"Don't blame the doctors, they are not wrong, it is me who does not have a destiny and should not live a long life......"

"Your Majesty must not say that! The minister must seek medical advice, and he will definitely find a doctor who can cure His Majesty! ”

"No need."

Liu Hong shook his head vigorously, and squeezed Liu Bei's hand again: "Xuande, I came to you because I have something to tell you." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak, even if the minister goes to the soup, he will do this for His Majesty!"

Liu Hong looked at Liu Bei steadily.

"I want to make my youngest son Xie the crown prince, and when I die, he will ascend the throne."

Liu Bei was stunned on the spot, and it took a while to react.

"Your Majesty, this ...... Didn't you say ...... before"

"Xuande, you are a loyal minister, you are a loyal member of the clan, I have no one else to entrust such a thing, only you, I can entrust it."

Liu Hong said slowly: "These days, I have also figured it out, if I let the eldest son take the throne, it is certainly justified, but Xie's situation will be very unfavorable, he will be very dangerous, and you will also be very dangerous, but if I let Xie take the throne, then except for the He family and the Yuan family, most people can be saved."

Xuande, I've thought about it for a long, long time, I don't have any other choice now, I really can't accept that my beloved son is bullied after my death, I can't protect it, there are not many people I can trust, and among these people, the most capable of protecting him is you......"
