Chapter 335: Zheng Ping returns, and Liu Bei is determined to be emperor
Under the city of Xudu.
The white robe is galloping.
"Xu Du Chongdi, who is coming!"
The guards at the head of the city saw thousands of white-robed cavalry galloping forward, and hurriedly gathered troops in the city tower and waited for the battle.
"Sun Ce, the deputy general of the white-robed battalion, escorted the generals of the military division under General Zuo to Xudu to discuss matters and open the city gate quickly." Sun Ce took the flag from his own flag-bearer, rode forward, and answered loudly.
Liu Bei's white-robed battalion?
General Zheng Ping?
The guards did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the city guards to put down the drawbridge, and then went out of the city to greet them in person.
"Is Master Zheng available?"
"Who are you?"
"Changshui Lieutenant Seed Collection!"
After cooperating with Lu Zhizhu Dong, he thought he could be promoted.
As a result, because of Lu Zhi's illness and death, the seed series has always been on the fringes of the DPRK.
Later, he was appointed by Cao Cao as a captain of Changshui for escorting Liu Xiedong's return, although he was the emperor's pro-army, but in fact it was an idle position.
It is impossible for Cao Cao to really let Liu Xie have a pro-army.
After the chaos of the capital, many people died.
So much so that after Ma Teng, Han Sui, Fengji and others left, Chongji, the captain of Changshui, was also temporarily appointed as the city gate commander.
After Liu Bei entered the Xu capital, Chong Ji found an opportunity to meet Liu Bei and talk about his friendship with Lu Zhi, and became one of the few court officials who supported Liu Bei among the civil and military ministers of Xu Ducheng.
"Captain Changshui, I've seen Master Zheng." The series respectfully saluted Zheng Ping.
Regardless of identity or fame, Zheng Ping is now an existence that needs to be looked up to, and now he has joined Liu Bei for the first time, and the posture of the seed album is naturally very low.
Zheng Ping returned the salute and asked: "In the past, the captain of the school was a righteous thief, and he had the merit of punishing Dong, why did he garrison at the city gate?" ”
Chongji remembered the various things that had been marginalized in the DPRK in the past few years, and sighed lightly: "Cao thief is dictatorial, and it is difficult for loyal ministers and righteous people to do anything." A few days ago, Ji had a meeting with General Zuo, and General Zuo was very generous to the Ji, and Ji deeply felt General Zuo's benevolence. ”
After a period of greetings, Zheng Ping has a closer understanding of the series.
Zheng Ping invited the seed album to sit down near the city tower, and made people prepare high-quality wine such as immortal brewing to entertain the seed album, and the seed album was flattered.
"Lieutenant Seed, you can know how many people in this capital are willing to support General Zuo." Zheng Ping asked slowly, this wine is naturally not for the sake of Chongjibai.
Chong Ji said calmly: "Most of the people who can support General Zuo are petty officials with low status, and those who have no real power although their status is acceptable. Those ministers who are in high positions or have real power are reluctant to support General Zuo. ”
Although Zheng Ping did not explicitly support General Zuo as emperor, after all, he has also been a person in Huan Hai for many years, and his mind is also exquisite.
Now that Liu Xie is dead, Xu Ducheng has been arguing about who will succeed him for more than a month and has not come out with a result, so he can naturally understand Zheng Ping's thoughts.
Zheng Ping said lightly: "Human nature is like this, those in high positions are unwilling to give up the power and interests in their hands, and those in low positions hope to have the merit of being a dragon." ”
There is embarrassment in the face of the series, after all, the series also belongs to the low-ranking people in Zheng Ping's hands.
Zheng Ping didn't care about the mentality of the seed series, and continued: "Lieutenant Seed, if you want to take the dragon's skill, you can't just support General Zuo verbally. ”
Chong Ji's heart sank, and he arched his hand and said: "I am willing to listen to the dispatch of Zheng Junshi." ”
Zheng Ping picked up the wine bottle: "The ministers of Xu Du quarreled for a month without results, and the core of it is that although this group of ministers and Cao Cao have disagreements, they actually form an alliance against General Zuo. ”
"If you want to solve this trouble, you have to solve Cao Cao first!"
"Use all the power you can use to spread the news of Cao Cao's dictatorship and bullying the monarch and fornicating with Yuan Shao in Xudu."
"And, the death of the Son of Heaven is really due to Cao Cao's conspiracy!"
The pupils of the seed series changed rapidly, and he exclaimed: "The death of the Son of Heaven is really due to Cao Cao's conspiracy? This, this, does Zheng Junshi have evidence? ”
Zheng Ping squinted slightly: "If it weren't for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's private peace, General Zuo would not have confronted Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and Ma Teng Han would never have appeared in Xudu." ”
"Ma Tenghan then took the Son of Heaven hostage and fled, but Cao Cao only sent Lu Bu to chase him, but he stayed in Xudu, which shows that he didn't care about the kidnapping of the Son of Heaven."
"The Son of Heaven died at the hands of Ma Teng Han Sui, Cao Cao, as a commonplace, did not express his stance and Yuan Shao did not die, only thinking about supporting the new emperor, which shows the danger of his intentions."
"General Zuo is the emperor of the Han family, the uncle of the emperor of heaven, and he is wholeheartedly crusading against Yuan Shao, whether in terms of fame or ability, or his support for the Han Dynasty is impeccable, but Cao Cao took the lead in opposing General Zuo."
"Judging from his intentions, he is worried that General Zuo will succeed to the throne and will no longer be able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order him not to obey."
"From this, it can be seen that the death of the Son of Heaven was planned by Cao Cao, in order to select a foundationless clan relative from the clan and continue his sinister intention of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to make him disobedient."
"In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, whenever a young emperor succeeds to the throne, there will be traitors and corrupt officials."
"If you don't kill Cao Cao, the Han family will be difficult to prosper!"
"Lieutenant, the reason is given to you, whether it can be done depends on your ability."
"In this world, there is no credit for nothing, if you want to be in a high position, you have to show real skills!"
The seed album was shocked in his heart.
Zheng Ping's eyes seemed to be able to see through the heart of the seed album, which made the seed album feel a chill.
Without waiting for the series to express his position, Zheng Ping had already gotten up.
Zheng Ping doesn't care much about characters like Chongji, or people in Xu Ducheng who have the same speculative heart as Chongji.
Whether it succeeds or not, it will not affect Zheng Ping's ultimate goal.
Looking at Zheng Ping, who had already left, Chongji's heart was full of mixed feelings.
"What a terrible person!"
"In front of Zheng Junshi, all my thoughts seem to be able to be seen through."
Tane clenched his fists.
It is very clear that if you really follow Zheng Ping's ideas, it will be tantamount to offending Cao Cao and the ministers who oppose Liu Bei.
It is even possible that before Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor, Chong Ji and others would have to be secretly slaughtered by Cao Cao and some of the ministers.
"However, the fact that Zheng Junshi has such a terrifying ability means that General Zuo's claim to be emperor is already the trend of the times."
"I'll wait, it's just the icing on the cake!"
"People die for money, birds die for food, if you don't fight this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance."
Not to mention how the seed album went to spread the news, Liu Bei, who learned that Zheng Ping had arrived in Xudu, was overjoyed.
Immediately rode out of the camp to meet Zheng Ping.
"Xianmou, it's been hard all the way!" Liu Bei looked at Zheng Ping, who was in the dust, with more vicissitudes of life than in the past, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Zheng Ping dismounted, and also had the joy of reunion after a long absence: "It's all for the Han, why talk about hard work." ”
After greeting for a while, Liu Bei invited Zheng Ping into the camp, and his tone was a little complicated: "Have you heard of the recent Xu Du incident?" ”
Zheng Ping said with a smile: "If you have the opportunity to be the emperor, you should be congratulated." ”
Liu Bei sighed: "Why did Xianmou say that? There is really no heart for the emperor. ”
Zheng Ping shook the feather fan slightly: "Envoy, life in the world is not everything going well." My dream has always been to travel with my wife, from the East China Sea to Xichuan, from the South China Sea to Beizhou, or a flat boat, or a fast horse, to travel all over the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, and then write a "Geographical Chronicle" to be passed on to future generations. ”
"However, from the first year of Chuping to the present, what I have done is either military affairs or government affairs."
"These military and political things are not what I want, but the troubled times are like this, so it is impossible for me to travel all over the mountains and rivers safely, so I can only do my best to settle this troubled times."
"Although the envoy has no intention of being the emperor, in today's world, who is qualified to be the emperor except the envoy?"
"If the person who is the emperor can't settle the troubled times, what's the difference between him and a puppet?"
"If you care about your personal reputation and ignore the people of the world, how can you bear it?"
"If you are called the emperor, you can sweep away the fallen leaves like the autumn wind, and the thieves in the world will be leveled like a bamboo; If you don't claim the title of emperor, this battle may not be able to wipe out the thieves if it is fought for another 30 years. ”
"Thirty years of troubled times, do you know how many people will die?"
"A true benevolent person is one who is not afraid of stigma and is sincere to the world!"
"Regardless of the heart, there is no perfect person in the world, please make you think carefully!"
Zheng Ping's words were deafening, and every word struck Liu Bei's heart.
In the past month, there have been many people who have persuaded Liu Bei.
There are Liu Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other martial arts, and there are also speculators like a series.
However, Liu Bei never let go.
In fact, Liu Bei understands many things in his heart.
Liu Bei would not agree to Cao Cao and the ministers to support another puppet young emperor, so even if Liu Bei did not agree to be the emperor, he did not agree to other clans to be called emperors, but only used Liu Yu as an excuse.
And Liu Yu also pretended to be sick for more than a month!
Liu Bei was unable to make up his mind for a long time, half because he was unwilling to accept the title of emperor in his heart, and half because of Zheng Ping's attitude.
Since Gao Tang first met Zheng Ping, the achievements in the past few years have been Zheng Ping's assistance to Liu Bei's struggle.
Zheng Ping's attitude has a strong influence on Liu Bei's choice.
can't talk to Zheng Ping in person, Liu Bei's mind will not change.
Zheng Ping has known Liu Bei for six years, and he also knows Liu Bei's heart very well, so he will come all the way to Xudu from the state.
With Zheng Ping's advice, Liu Bei was gradually relieved.
"Xianmou, do you really think that you are qualified to be the emperor?" Liu Bei's tone was not surprised, but very serious.
Zheng Ping didn't answer and asked: "Envoy, do you want to make Taixia peaceful?" ”
Liu Bei nodded solemnly: "There is no day I don't want to!" ”
Zheng Ping stood up and bowed: "In the world, there is no one who can compare with Jun Rende!" In the world, there is no one who can compare to the king's faithfulness! If the king is called the emperor, he can justifiably gather the power of the six states to compete with Yuan Yi. ”
"Without the shackles of righteousness, it is as easy as destroying Yuan Rebellion!"
In the last sentence, Zheng Ping's tone was heroic and convinced.
The soldiers of righteousness are invincible!
Liu Bei's heart was awe-inspiring.
Zheng Ping's words, in addition to believing that he is the most qualified to be the emperor, are also telling himself.
If it weren't for the lack of righteousness in sending troops, where would we still need to play some bells and whistles.
Righteousness bound Liu Bei and Zheng Ping!
When Liu Bei has great righteousness, it is when Zheng Ping really shows his military might!
Long.
Liu Bei also got up and said resolutely: "Although Bei has no heart to be called the emperor, all the people in the world have been tired of war for a long time!" If you can succeed to the throne and follow the example of Guangwu, in ten years, you will definitely be in the world! ”
Zheng Ping laughed: "It takes ten years to set the world!" Three years is enough to stop the war! ”
Helping Liu Bei settle down, Zheng Ping came to Liu Yu's residence.
Knowing that it was Zheng Ping who was visiting, Liu Yu hurriedly summoned Zheng Ping into the room.
"Xianmou came to see the old man today, presumably Xuande has already made a decision." Liu Yu was dressed in plain clothes, and there was no sickness at all.
Zheng Ping said with a smile: "Bo'an Gong has been sick for more than a month, how can he be a little more blessed than before?" ”
Liu Yu laughed: "This month, the old man stayed here every day, ate and slept, slept and ate, and his hips were revived." Xianmou, don't be idle, tell the old man what Xuande thinks? The old man is tired of staying here. ”
Zheng Ping smiled slightly, and said: "General Zuo has agreed to be the emperor, but there are many voices of opposition in this Xu Ducheng, and to break this situation, you still need to use external forces." ”
Liu Yu was overjoyed: "Xuande is willing to bear the burden, and the old man is very relieved." ”
Being an emperor is not a good job.
If you are a faint monarch, you will naturally be comfortable, but if you want to be a wise gentleman, what you have on your shoulders is the weight of the whole world!
If you don't do it well, you will be like the second emperor of Huan Ling, and you will be infamous for eternity.
Maybe for others, this is a coveted position, but Liu Yu, who has experienced the vicissitudes of the Huan Sea, knows very well that not everyone can sit in this position!
"Conspiracy, if there is anything that needs the cooperation of the old man, just say it!" Liu Yu gradually became solemn.
Zheng Ping nodded, and his tone became sharp: "The reputation in the Bo'an Open Sea is also highly respected in the clan. You can send a letter to the clansmen who are famous in the fiefdom and ask the clansmen to support General Zuo as emperor. ”
"Ping will also go to his father, and use his father's reputation among the people to support General Zuo as emperor."
"Although the ministers of the DPRK and China are all famous people from various counties and have the support of the big clans behind them, if the clan relatives of the six southern states and the old six states of the family and my father are jointly promoted, and General Zuo has accumulated the popularity, status and strong troops in his hands over the years, it is enough to suppress the group of ministers who have opposing voices."
"If they still insist on opposing it, then I can only punish them with Han law! One of these ministers counts as one, and none of the families are clean! ”
The secretary wants to talk about the rules, and Zheng Ping plays the rules.
If the secretary doesn't talk about the rules, Zheng Ping won't talk about the rules either.
Zheng Ping's ruthlessness made Liu Yu couldn't help but be shocked.
However, Liu Yu knew very well that if he was too merciful to the enemy, he would be cruel to himself, after all, when he was in Youzhou, Liu Yu suffered a big loss.
The more big the scene is, the more you can't be merciful!
"The old man understands the meaning of the conspiracy."
"The old man is in charge of the clan, and the celebrity is bothered by the show."
Sikong Province.
Cao Cao pondered Yuan Shao's letter repeatedly.
Now Cao Cao is in the most difficult predicament, and he already has a sense of desperation.
Even if Xun Yu and other Yingchuan scholars supported Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not have the qualifications to support a controllable Son of Heaven.
Because of Liu Bei's checks and balances on Cao Cao, the minister, who was originally suppressed by Cao Cao, suddenly broke out with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The powerful family related to this group of ministers began to show their strength frantically.
Recently, there have been rumors in Xudu City such as "the Son of Heaven died in Cao Cao's conspiracy", which made Cao Cao suffer.
"Primordial!"
Cao Cao's eyes were closed, and he fell into deep thought again.
