Chapter 280, the proposal of the king
At this point, there is no need for Ren Qi to continue to cover up.
Who wants to harm him?
If he dies, who will benefit the most?
He knew it.
There are only a few people who know about it, and it is not difficult to guess.
Liu Bei will not do this, even if the other party does not like him, he will definitely not do the thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, otherwise who else is willing to serve him in the future?
That's just ...... Jia Long, the so-called ally.
"Ren Qi, you are so bloody, it is obvious that you are disloyal to the lord, and now you have the face to blame me?" Jia Long sneered unceremoniously.
Even if this is true, he cannot be accused of betraying his allies.
Liu Zhang quietly watched the scene of the two turning against each other, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile.
Liu Bei won't kill me, at most I will end up under house arrest for life, and you may not be able to wait. But before that, he still has to do what he should do, without protending to others?
"Come on, take down Ren Qi and correct the law on the spot!"
Saying a thousand things and ten thousand can't change the fact that Ren Qi is a traitor.
Although Liu Zhang's general trend has gone, he can still command the pro-army under his command, and after the order is given, several tiger and wolf soldiers soon swarmed up and captured the traitor.
Ren Qi was unwilling and struggled desperately, but after all, he couldn't withstand this sturdy soldier, and was quickly dragged down.
Before leaving, he still shouted in his mouth, "There is another hidden truth in this matter, I hope the lord will know what to say", trying to use this to move Liu Zhang.
This is also human nature, seeing that victory is just around the corner, and he is about to keep the clouds open and see the moon, how many people are willing to be captured?
A moment later, with a terrible scream, Ren Qi was subdued.
On the broad road from the city gate to the palace, a team is slowly marching, and in the center of the elite soldiers is Liu Bei's royal car.
This one is magnificent, luxurious, and can accommodate nearly ten people. With the rise of his status, Liu Bei no longer marched on horseback.
This is both for the sake of status and identity, but also for the sake of security.
Even if Liu Bei is excellent in martial arts and bravely crowns the three armies, he has to consider the assassin problem.
Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to defend against, and his son is still young. At this moment, if something happens to him, all his efforts will be wasted, and the entire Guanzhong Group will be torn apart overnight.
In the car, Liu Bei and Guo Jia were playing against each other, while Jia Xu closed his eyes and recuperated like an old god, as if he was playing the referee of the two.
As for Xun or, he was responsible for staying behind in the rear.
At this moment, Qinglong in the team rode his horse to the side of the car, and his fingers tapped lightly on the body.
Guo Jia lifted the curtain.
"What?"
"Ren Qi is dead."
"Well, got it, step aside."
Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia in surprise.
"Is this what Bongxiao did?"
"Definitely." Guo Jia shook his head lightly and said, "Although this person is a traitor, he is a hero to us, how can we kill him?"
Liu Bei thought so, and after pondering for a moment, he said with a smile: "It seems that this is an internal problem in Yizhou, but it also helped me get rid of a despicable person, and I don't have to reward him."
"But...... Can Feng Xiao know the identity of the person who did it?"
Prime Minister Liu used to be an upright person, but now although he has been restrained because of the change of identity, he doesn't like a mercenary person like Ren Qi.
Guo Jia muttered, "As expected, Jia Long is extremely suspicious."
As soon as the words fell, he heard Qinglong on the side say, "According to our secret agent, Ren Qi claimed that Jia Long wronged him before he died."
When a man is about to die, his words are good.
Although Ren Qi's words before his death were not necessarily answered, they were very probable.
Liu Bei nodded: "Since ancient times, power has moved people's hearts, although Jia Long and Ren Qi are called allies, but when the interests are opposite, there is no lack of possibility of going against each other."
Soon, Liu Bei's army took over the city defense of Shu County, and Liu Bei and his entourage also came to the banquet of Liu Zhang and others.
"This day has finally come, Prime Minister, please."
Liu Zhang had accepted the reality at this time, so he stepped forward and greeted him warmly. He knew that he still had a chance to live, provided that he could not offend Liu Bei.
Liu Bei also felt a little embarrassed in his heart, he was a human being in two lives, and many things had already changed, but one thing remained the same.
The one who won Liu Jiyu's foundation, Xuande also!
Liu Bei put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "Brother Ji Yu is polite, according to the seniority, I should call you the eldest brother."
Liu Zhang also smiled and said, "Although I am old, I am really ashamed to say what Xuande has done."
This is true, although Liu Zhang is old, their father and son are all played by Liu Bei.
The two came to the high platform hand in hand, Liu Zhang looked around at everyone, and said in a loud voice: "From today on, Shu County will return to the jurisdiction of the Han court."
This phrase is a signal of the willingness to surrender.
When the civil and military forces of Shu County heard this, they walked out of the state of shock, and then bowed their heads in unison.
"Greetings to the Prime Minister!"
Now that the wood has become a boat, if anyone is unwilling to bow their heads, it can only be a human head on the ground. What's more, they did not reject Liu Bei, the new master.
Maybe as early as after Huang Zhong led the army to station, everyone expected this day, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly, which caught people off guard.
"Xuande, from today on, Shu County will be handed over to you." After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he quietly looked at Liu Bei, he was waiting, waiting for the other party to deal with him.
"Brother Ji Yu has said it, since Shu County has returned to the imperial court, you are naturally also a minister of the Han Dynasty, and the position of the Taishou of Shu County is still yours." Liu Bei's words made Liu Zhangru amnesty.
He knew that he was too guarded in name only, and Liu Bei would never leave him military power, or that no king would do this.
It's better to be a titular puppet than to be a caged bird!
"Xuande, Zhenren-kunya!"
Liu Bei smiled slightly: "This is the grace of the Son of Heaven."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, Jia Long walked out of the crowd, raised his hand, and said righteously: "The prime minister has made great achievements in the world, and Kuang helped the Han family in danger, and proposed that Cheng be promoted to the throne!"
Gaozu has an order, unless the Liu family is not the king, and the violator will be punished by the whole world.
However, Liu Bei is a descendant of the Han Queen, and with his merits, it is more than enough to be called the king.
In fact, as early as when Liu Bei moved the capital to Chang'an, someone proposed to make him king, but he refused.
Because he knew very well that once he became king, the other princes would follow suit, and the influence of the Han would be reduced.
Now that his merits have been added, it is foreseeable that more people will be crowned king in the future, because no courtier can refuse to follow the dragon's merits.
When Liu Bei heard this, he looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu below, but saw that both of them were looking at the sky with their noses and eyes, and they were obviously unwilling to speak on this matter.
In fact, they had discussed this question at the beginning, and they had already come up with an answer.
"How dare you be the king if you are not knowledgeable?"
"Don't talk about it again!"
