Xuande

Chapter 466 Liu Hong is probably at the end of his life
Empress Dowager Dong faced a future that was difficult to reverse, and even shed tears while personally going out to persuade Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei would change his mind.

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

"Xuande, although Bian is also my grandson, his mother is the He family after all. The He family is vicious and vicious. It is impossible for Bian not to be influenced by her. When Bian became the emperor, the He family will definitely try to get revenge on you. I won't let you go.

Xuande, even if you think about yourself, you can't just be so obedient!My son is thinking too much, worrying too much, and he is also his flesh and blood, why can't he inherit the throne?It's just that someone needs support, Xuande, aren't you the best supporter?

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 great general yourself. Xie is young, and will definitely use you as the main assistant minister. You are the Duke of Zhou of the great man!Why can't you understand such a thing? "

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has a great favor for me. How can I go against His Majesty's wishes?"

Liu Bei looked at Empress Dowager Dong with a look of embarrassment, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty has repeatedly explained that the prince should be the crown prince. I am a subject. If you go against your majesty's wishes, isn't it disloyal? How can I do such a thing?" ?

Moreover, everyone in the world thinks that the crown prince should belong to the prince's debate. This is a well-known fact. Qingzhou Mu Liu Yu, Xuzhou Mu Liu Yan and other important officials also think so. Could it be me who decides? "

Empress Dowager Dong didn't expect Liu Bei to be so rigid and loyal. On the one hand, she felt relieved, but on the other hand, she also felt depressed and couldn't laugh or cry.

You are really addicted to being a tool person!
"Xuande, do you really not care about your own future? Do you really not worry 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 comes to this issue, Liu Bei made a gesture of hesitation in a timely manner.

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 and the emperor's mother. No one knows your loyalty better than me. You are absolutely willing to support the emperor's wishes, so if the emperor decides to establish a prince's association For the prince, you will not object, will you?"

"Empress Dowager, I am opposed to abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, but if the emperor must do this, the ministers must be loyal to the emperor."

Counting that Liu Hong should be within a few days, this matter has been confirmed. Liu Bei made up his mind and felt that the time was almost here, so he gave Queen Mother Dong a relatively clear statement.

Empress Dowager Dong was overjoyed, feeling that the future finally had hope.

After all, Liu Bei still cares about his family.

Later, Liu Bei found Zhang Rang directly and "taught him face-to-face."

"The time is almost here, Lao Zhang. Your next task is to assist the queen mother as much as possible. When the emperor wakes up, persuade the emperor to change the emperor's association as the crown prince, let the emperor's association take the throne, and use the old hatred as an excuse to persuade the emperor to abolish the queen. .”

Zhang Rang was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned pale with shock.

"Didn't you always oppose abolishing the elders and establishing the younger?"

"I object, of course I object, but if the emperor must do this, as a loyal minister, of course I must obey the emperor's wishes, otherwise, wouldn't it be disloyal? In the Han Dynasty, loyalty is the most important thing, and the emperor comes first. .”

Liu Bei smiled: "Although I have my own will, I really can't disobey the emperor's order. I can't be a disloyal person, it's that simple."

Zhang Rang understood that Liu Bei was going to throw the blame on Liu Hong.

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

But he felt very strange.

"It is the most orthodox thing for the prince to argue for his ascension to the throne. If the prince's association ascends the throne, the people in the world will probably have a lot of opposition. Even if you take control of Luoyang by then, there will probably be many people who will oppose you and even attack you with many reasons. You Don't you worry?
For example, Qingzhou Shepherd Liu Yu, who values ​​orthodoxy the most. You persuaded him to withdraw his troops before, but turned around and pushed the Prince Association to the throne. Aren't you afraid that he will immediately turn against you and call on the world to crusade against you?There are also Liu Yan, Mu of Xuzhou, and Huang Wan, Mu of Yuzhou. These are all capable of commanding soldiers. "

Liu Bei nodded.

"That's right, these are all capable of commanding troops. They are very likely to protest, they are very likely to oppose, and they are very likely to send troops to Luoyang. They do not agree with the enthronement of the Prince's Association. The world is boiling and the crowd is raging. It's my purpose."

Zhang Rang was taken aback.

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

"Let all those who oppose me stand up and stand up in one go, so that I don't have to look for them one by one. They all come out in one go, so that I can uproot and eradicate them all in one go. After a chaotic battle, the big man It will be stable."

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang calmly: "Old Zhang, the reason for the turmoil in the big man's world is that there are too many insects. This time, use the prince's cooperation as bait to deceive all the people with evil intentions and let them show themselves. Then, justifiably, all in one go, what a great thing?"

"That's something that the whole world is against. Are you too confident?"

Zhang Rang worried: "Although you have a strong force, do you know that you are facing the whole world? Have you thought about it again?"

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

Liu Bei laughed and said: "Just take this opportunity to try my weight. If I lose, I will lose, but if I succeed, Lao Zhang, I can prove that I am invincible in the world, and no one will dare Resist me, hahahahahahaha!"

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

He seems to have never really understood what Liu Bei was thinking in his heart.

Liu Bei has always played in front of him as a know-it-all elder sister who can solve everything, but 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 very likely to be true.

Liu Bei is by no means as gentle and humble as he has shown. In his heart, there is definitely an extremely hot desire hidden.

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

It's just that he has no choice.

"Are you really confident that you can coerce the world?"

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

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Old Zhang, soon, it won't take long, I will show you what you call being an enemy of the world, but that's it, the big man has come to this day, not to mention that there are insects everywhere, nine out of ten It’s okay to have a few insects, but since they are insects, they must all be swept out, otherwise the Great Han Empire will not be able to sustain itself.”

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

"I don't know who the insect is, I only know that my life is in your hands, you must be careful, absolutely!"

"Well, I'll be careful."

Liu Bei patted Zhang Rang on the shoulder, laughed and left.

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

How can it be so easy?
To persuade Liu Hongli to set up Liu Xie, and to abolish Empress He, is to drop a meteorite in the whole Luoyang, and even the whole Han!

Does today's world also have the ability of Emperor Guangwu?

Zhang Rang didn't know.

Liu Hong didn't wake up that day.

Liu Hong didn't wake up the next day either.

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

After the doctor gave his pulse, he said calmly on the surface that Liu Hong was recovering, but secretly told the inquiring Zhang Rang and Dong Zhong the truth, saying that Liu Hong was probably at the end of his life.

Hearing what the doctor said, Zhang Rang felt a little sad when he thought of the friendship he had been with for many years.

"The son of heaven is prosperous in spring and autumn, how did he get to this point?"

"The son of heaven was in the prime of life, and he didn't suffer from any serious illness, but he always liked to drink, and he was close to women's sex. Wine and sex are the most likely to make the body empty. It's okay if you don't get sick, but once you get sick, you will have serious problems, and the son of heaven is not willing to be temperate and taboo. , so there is no cure for medicine and stone... I have tried my best, but I can't do anything, maybe there are other masters in the world who can turn things around?"

The doctor shook his head and sighed.

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

"Zhang Changshi, although you and I have never talked, I don't think you agree with the prince's argument to be the next emperor, do you?"

Zhang Rang nodded.

"I hate He Jin no less than you. Of course I don't agree with Prince Bian's ascension to the throne. Once he takes the throne, what should I do with myself? But right now, the Son of Heaven favors Prince Bian, so what can I do?"

"The queen mother is still trying to persuade the emperor, and I am also trying to persuade the emperor. Let's do our best to make the emperor change his mind."

Dong Zhong said in a low voice: "Also ask Zhang Changshi to draft an imperial edict on behalf of the emperor. As long as the emperor nods, he will immediately use the seal. In this way, all this will be confirmed."
