Everyone's eyes were on Chen Liuwang.

In fact, for the purpose of everyone's trip, Chen Liuwang still has some numbers in his heart.

He knew that Liu Jian dragged him over so that he could become the new emperor.

It's just that Liu Xie didn't expect that these princes and kings would support him so much, he originally thought that it would take a lot of trouble for him to ascend to the throne.

Judging from this situation, there is no problem at all if he wants to ascend to the throne, and among the more than 100 Liu clan relatives, no one seems to oppose him.

He cautiously turned his head to look at Liu Jian, but saw that Liu Jian also gently expressed encouragement to his forehead.

Although Chen Liuwang has made Liu Jian's education ridiculous over the years, he is the master of wisdom after all, and he also knows what the situation is now.

He also knew that in this case, he couldn't be too proud, and he had to be somewhat reserved.

I saw King Chen Liuwang standing up and saluting the princes and kings one by one.

"Uncles and brothers, the widow is still young, and he does not know how to govern the country, how can he inherit the unification? Besides, the current emperor is the widow's own brother, if the widow becomes the emperor with the support of your uncles, wouldn't it be equivalent to taking away his brother's country? Turning back will inevitably be scolded by the people of the world, and this matter must not be done. ”

Next, I saw Liu Yu patiently persuading him: "King, you don't have to put too much pressure, the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty belong to our Liu family, and they are left by Gaozu to our descendants, not His Majesty today." ”

"So many of our Liu clan relatives support the king to inherit the throne, is it because the king has any kindness or personal relationship with us? But most of the people here are just meeting you for the first time. ”

"Therefore, the king does not need to be so alarmed, if we really support you as the emperor, it is only because the world needs the king, and it has nothing to do with personal feelings and interests.

"As long as the king governs the country diligently and accepts the words of loyal ministers, the people of the world will not only not blame you, but will praise you as a good emperor."

When Liu Jian heard this, he was very happy in his heart.

This Liu Yu really realized his intentions!

What he said at the moment was all what he wanted to say, although it was a scene, but on this occasion, as long as he said one less word, the spearhead who supported the emperor in the future would be less than a point on himself.

Although Liu Jian did not speak, all of them were endorsed by Liu Yu, but Liu Yu's weight in the hearts of the princes and kings of the world was also very heavy, especially Liu Yu was born in the Guangwu lineage and was extremely noble.

Many princes and kings are also willing to respect Liu Yu, and they feel that Liu Yu's identity is much more noble than that of these princes and kings.

Don't look at people who are not kings, but people are rooted!

"What Liu Qingzhou said is very true!"

"King Chen Liu, you just agree."

Liu Xie saw that everyone followed Liu Yu and echoed him, and supported himself as the emperor, so he didn't continue to speak.

At this time of age, it's not good for him to refuse too much.

However, if it is a hasty nod of agreement, it will also seem too snobbish.

So he simply bowed his head and said nothing.

This is the coping strategy given to him by Liu Jian in advance.

Silence is better than sound at this time.

Seeing that Chen Liuwang didn't speak, everyone understood in their hearts.

Although he didn't speak, it was tantamount to his acquiescence.

Seeing that Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, acquiesced to this result, everyone was very happy, so they raised the wine lord to celebrate and discuss the next step of the abolition.

Liu Yu waved his hand with a straight face, and asked everyone to put down the wine jue in their hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now is the autumn of national crisis, and it is about to be abolished, which is a great pain and illness for the country, how can we celebrate at this juncture?"

"Is it true that we are now raising the wine lord to celebrate the danger of the country, the hardship of the people, the immorality of our king, the displacement of all the peoples?"

As soon as these words came out, all the Liu clan relatives immediately fell silent.

They put down the wine lord they had just raised in their hands.

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, Liu Yu looked at Liu Jian on the side and asked: "General, when the country is in crisis, we can't stay outside the city too much, we must find a way to enter the city as soon as possible, and meet today's son to rectify the maladministration of the Han Dynasty, eliminate the traitors and villains in the court, and restore the country's vitality, otherwise if it drags on, the world will be dragged down." ”

Liu Yu's words were very serious, and he was very praised by Liu Jian.

"What did Liu Qingzhou see?"

Liu Yu said: "We are all clan relatives, and we came to the side of the Qing monarch this time, but so far, there is no leader, so that everyone is doing their own thing and not listening to the binding order, which is really not a long-term solution." ”

"Please general, you as the leader, lead us into the court together, and support the dynasty, so that everyone can work together."

"In this way, we can also use the fastest speed to help the maladministration of our Han Dynasty."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads, and all the princes and kings stood up and said to Liu Jian: "Please also ask the general as the leader to guide us into Beijing together, and we are willing to take the general's horse as the leader." ”

Liu Jian stood up slowly: "In terms of qualifications, thrift is not as good as the kings here, in terms of age, there are also Liu Jian's uncles here, my Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, there are uncles here, how can thrift be any leader, absolutely not." ”

When everyone heard Liu Jian's resignation, they were all anxious, and hurriedly admonished again.

But Liu Jian refused to live or die.

At this time, Liu Xuan, a famous scholar from Donglai, stood up and said, "I have a proposal, please listen quietly." ”

When everyone saw Liu Miao standing up, they listened attentively.

"Zhengli is a famous person among my clansmen, and what he said must have a great truth, so we should think about it carefully."

"Yes, if you have any good words, please come and tell us for our reference."

Liu Xuan said: "Although the general has contributed to the society, as the general said, among my Liu clansmen, the general's rank is not the highest, and the age is not the longest. ”

"If we put the general first, I'm afraid we will put the general in the crosshairs...... There are many mouths in the world, but I'm afraid that I can't block it. ”

"Won't I hurt the general by waiting?"

"It's better for us to elect one person from among the princes and kings and the famous people of the clan to serve as the leader, one representative of the famous people of my clan, and one representative of the princes and kings."

"And the general is to lead the soldiers and horses, concentrate on martial arts, and protect the imperial court, so that the civil and military can ensure that our Han Dynasty is on the right track."

Liu Xuan's words can be said to have woken up many people.

Oh, yes!

We are now vigorously promoting the general as the leader, but in fact, are we not putting the general in the public target?

Looking at what the general has done over the years, he cherishes his feathers and pays attention to his reputation.

I don't think he would be the leader.

It seems that among all the people, someone must stand up and carry this burden for the general.

Liu Yu said: "What Zhengli said is very true, but these two people are to be selected...... Who should it be? ”

Liu Jian was silent on the side, as long as he didn't choose himself as the leader, it didn't matter how the rest of the people were chosen, anyway, he would never be able to be this rising bird.

The next thing is to listen to a group of clan relatives and a group of princes and kings chatter about the candidates, and finally everyone took the way of voting, let people take more than 100 bamboo sticks, they want to recommend the person on the name of the person, and then publicize, to see who has the most votes.

In the end, Liu Yu became the representative of a group of Liu clan relatives and celebrities.

And Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, became the representative of the princes and kings.

With these two people as the leaders, the hearts of all the Liu clan relatives are settled.

Next, everyone began to discuss how to enter Chang'an.

These more than 100 Liu clan relatives are the top people among the Han surnamed Liu, and there are many resourceful people among them.

Soon, the group came up with a plan.

……

……

Three days later, the princes and kings and the Liu clan once again gathered under the city of Chang'an City.

But this time, this group of princes and kings is not a small fight.

They were all dressed in plain clothes and waved white flags and white armor.

Then he also led the soldiers of the three armies to worship a spiritual seat.

This spiritual position is none other than the spiritual seat of the first emperor Liu Hong.

These princes and kings began to worship the first emperor under the city of Chang'an, and at the same time ordered the three armies to weep bitterly and scold the defenders of the city.

Outside the city of the Son of Heaven, the meaning of paying tribute to the first emperor is naturally profound.

The news that a group of princes and kings and the Liu clan were worshipping under Chang'an City soon spread to the palace.

Liu Wei was so angry that his face turned red when he found out, and he slapped the table and roared loudly: "What qualifications do these people have to pay tribute to my father and emperor under the city? ”

Among the courtiers, Dong Zhao said to the Son of Heaven very calmly: "Your Majesty, these people are all relatives of the Liu family, and there is nothing rude for them to pay tribute to the first emperor, but it is indeed a little inappropriate to worship the first emperor's spiritual seat under Chang'an City as their identity, but there is still one person in their team, there is this person, even if the spiritual seat of the first emperor is placed under Chang'an City to pay tribute, others can't say anything." ”

Liu Wei was furious when he heard this.

"Who can't say what is it? Is there still a son of the first emperor under the city? ”

When these words were asked, all the courtiers actually lowered their heads and remained silent.

Liu Braided looked at everyone's expressions and was a little stunned for a moment.

He seemed to realize something suddenly.

Then he saw his eyes suddenly widen, looked at the crowd present in horror and said, "Could it be that he is also there?" ”

He still hadn't named his brother, but everyone knew who he was referring to.

Dong Zhao didn't have so many scruples, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, King Chen Liuwang is also under Chang'an City." ”

As soon as he heard that Liu Xie was also under Chang'an City, Liu Braids were so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Is he worthy of being my brother?"

"Actually came with outsiders to deal with me?!"

"It's a brute."

"How could the first emperor give birth to such a disobedient son?"

Ladies and gentlemen, look at me, and I will look at you.

Then he saw the counselor Zhao Qi and said: "Your Majesty, whether King Chen Liuwang is disobedient or not, but now these people are outside the city to worship the first emperor. ”

"It doesn't matter what reason they have to worship the first emperor, but after all, Your Majesty is also the son of the first emperor, why don't you also send someone out to worship the first emperor with them, and talk to each other about the conditions, to see what they want to do."

Zhao Qi said this out of a public heart, but immediately ignited Liu Braid's anger.

"Outside the city, there are only some disobedient people, and if you let me send people to worship the emperor with them, doesn't that mean that I now approve of their actions? This is simply a treacherous statement. ”

"If the first emperor had a spirit in the sky, he would definitely not forgive me!"

Zhao Qi couldn't help but sigh when he heard Liu Wei say this: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and now no matter what reason they use to move out of the spiritual seat of the first emperor, if Your Majesty doesn't even do a little move, it will definitely be true." ”

"Bastard! I am the Son of Heaven, how can I allow the thief to threaten me? How dare you say that you have no father and no king? Could it be that there is a collusion with those anti-thieves! ”

Zhao Qi heard Liu Wei say this, and his face showed an extremely sad expression.

"The minister is dedicated to His Majesty, and he is also dedicated to the Han Dynasty, the minister does not have any selfish intentions, but I just hope that His Majesty can keep the foundation of the first emperor and create an indestructible foundation, but now His Majesty is so suspicious, the minister is dead and will not be blind."

Liu Wei was already carried away by anger at this time, and he didn't care whether it was good or bad, he said angrily: "You dare to threaten me here? ”

"I'm not afraid of you, and I'm not afraid of that Liu Deran! Don't be afraid of that bastard brother! Come, pull him out to me, and the weight will be ten rods. ”

When Zhang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't punish the doctor, although Dr. Zhao has no words, but he is also loyal, he is for His Majesty's inheritance, but also for Your Majesty's good, please let Your Majesty be lenient." ”

Subsequently, a group of other courtiers stood up one after another, and arched their hands at Liu Braid: "Please ask Your Majesty to be magnanimous and forgive Dr. Zhao." ”

"Shut up! I am not allowed to intercede, and whoever pleads for mercy will be blamed heavily. ”

Liu Wei was already close to madness at the moment, and he didn't give anyone face, but just ordered someone to escort Zhao Qi down and beat him with ten rods.

The other courtiers saw Liu Braid's madness, and their hearts were even more cold.

Judging from this situation, their son of heaven is afraid that he has been abolished.

If the Son of Heaven is still like this, how much better can their fate be?

……

Zhao Qi, the admonition doctor, is also one of Wang Yun and other ministers.

Although his influence among the ministers is not greater than that of the Hongnong Yang family of the third and third princes, it is really not small.

After being beaten by the Son of Heaven's cane, Zhao Qi finally had a backlash in his heart.

He secretly gathered courtiers who had befriended him.

"When the son is so unreasonable today, he is really not a king who can be assisted."

"Now, Chang'an City is in danger, it is better to dedicate the city and let the princes and kings and the Liu clan enter the city."

"Even if you can't reward us for your merits, at least it won't be too difficult for us."

"It's better than continuing to bury this faint monarch here, right?"

Zhao Qi's words were agreed by his colleagues, who nodded their heads one after another, feeling that this was a way out for them.

"Doctor Zhao, what do you think we should do now?"

"Let's first find a way to buy the city gate order, ask him to find an opportunity to open the city, and then make an appointment with the princes and kings to welcome them into the city."

One said: "Doctor, rest assured, the current gatekeeper is my brother-in-law, if I need to come forward to him in person to take advantage of him, there is no need to buy it at all, he will definitely fall to our side." ”

Zhao Qi was very relieved when he heard this, he lowered his head and said: "This is the best, this is the best, but this matter needs to be cautious, as long as these people present know about it, we must not let Wang Situ and them know." ”

"It's natural."

……

Two days later, Liu Jian and the princes and kings got Zhao Qi's request to show favor through the city gate, and wanted to make an appointment with them to open the gate of Chang'an and let them in.

Regarding Zhao Qi's act of selling out for glory, many Liu clan relatives were extremely disdainful of his behavior.

However, there are some people who believe that if Zhao Qi can open the gate of Chang'an now, it is the right time, but he can consider giving Zhao Qi and others leniency afterwards.

Liu Jian did not make a statement on this matter, but his proposal to everyone was to make an agreement with Zhao Qi to open the city gate on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve to welcome the army into the city.

Liu Jian either didn't speak, since he spoke, his opinions were naturally respected by these princes and kings.

So they agreed that Liu Jian was the day and Zhao Qi were ventilated.

……

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the gate guard order opened the city gate according to Zhao Qi's orders.

After Zhang He and Gao Ran, who had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time, saw that the city gate was opened, they didn't say a word, and immediately commanded a group of elite infantry to enter the city and quickly seize the city.

Subsequently, the army led by Yan Liangwen Chou began to enter Chang'an City, and they did not rush to the palace, but occupied the main streets in Chang'an City, as well as important locations such as arsenals, Taicang, and Shaofu warehouses.

And Gongsun Chan and Xu Rong respectively led two groups of men and horses to occupy the four gates, and did not allow anyone to escape from Chang'an City, surrounding Chang'an City.

After all these preparations were ready, the princes and kings and the Liu clan began to march towards Chang'an City.

And before the gates of Chang'an City were opened and the Hebei army was ushered in, the main officials in the court and the Son of Heaven already knew what was happening in Chang'an City.

But they are powerless at the moment.

The hearts of all the courtiers jumped to their throats, and they did not know whether forgiveness or death awaited them next.

They could only watch as the Hebei army marched towards the city with a group of Liu clan relatives.

More than 100 Liu clan relatives did not stay, they went straight to the palace.

There's something waiting for them there—today.
