Chapter 749 I Will Not Abandon You

At the internal meeting, Xia Houyuan, the oldest among the group, spoke first.

"I don't think this rumor should be that simple, and now I don't know who spread the rumor. It was created by the people of the Jinwen School, and it soon disappeared. Now it suddenly appeared again. I It feels weird."

"I think so too."

Pound followed up and said: "It's too strange that this rumor appeared. In my opinion, either someone deliberately tried to trip the general, or someone within us did it himself."

"self-made?"

Dong Juan touched his head, wondering: "Who would do this? For what?"

"To go one step further, to protect myself, my family, and the family!"

Cao Ren calmly analyzed: "Think about it, we were all brought out by the junhou, and we are all junhou's subordinates. We have always listened to the junhou's orders, not the emperor's orders. I heard the old man at home say, One emperor and one courtier.

These words are very meaningful. It means that the new emperor will only trust his own people, and will not trust the courtiers left by the old emperor. They don't like other people's courtiers, but only like their own courtiers. We have all become servants of others. "

Cheng Pu squeezed his beard and nodded slowly.

"It's true, we are all the prince's subordinates, can the emperor trust us? So, some people are worried about this, so this rumor spread, the purpose is... to make the prince go further?"

"Probably."

Liu Yong finally spoke: "Although I don't know who did it, I have to say that what this guy did is quite interesting and can explain the problem."

Liu Yong sighed in this way, but the other five people suddenly looked at Liu Yong with strange expressions.

Liu Yong instantly understood something.

"Don't slander me, I didn't do this! I'm also a member of the Han clan, what am I afraid of? At worst, I can protect myself and my life is not in danger. Don't look at me, think of others!"

The others thought about it, and felt that what Liu Yong said was also reasonable. After all, this guy was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and in the worst case, he would not lose his life.

Who did that?
Or did Liu Bei do it himself?
They launched another round of brainstorming, but they still had no conclusions. In the end, they could only come to a conclusion that "you must do it yourself if you know it."

So they decided to visit Liu Bei together.

At this moment when the situation in Luoyang City was very strange, the few of them completely disregarded their own goals, so they came to the General's Mansion so carelessly, entered Liu Bei's office under the eyes of a group of people, closed the door, and isolated outsiders .

Then there was a whisper.

Everyone is very concerned about it, but they dare not say it clearly. Now that someone is taking the lead, how can they ignore it?

In the end, how will this matter develop?

Liu Bei in the office was quite helpless in the face of the concern of these old subordinates.

"You are coming to visit me together at this moment, the meaning is too clear, I'm afraid there will be a wave of gossip after you go out, don't you think about it?"

As a clan general, Liu Yong took a step forward against everyone's expectations.

"Your Majesty, this is a big matter. We think about it, feel uneasy, sleep and eat, and really want to know the reason for this matter. I hope you can tell me, so that we don't think about it day and night, and we don't want to eat."

"Okay, okay, are you playing with me?"

Liu Bei smiled, then sighed, and said slowly: "My father-in-law and Meng De both came here before, and they were also worried like you, but what I can tell you is that this matter was done by Zheng Tai, It’s not something we did internally.”

"Zheng Tai?"

Several generals were collectively surrounded, and did not understand what was going on.

Liu Bei explained to them the ins and outs of this matter, telling them that Zheng Tai did this to make him an existence that is universally enemy, not because some insiders did it for other reasons.

This is an attack from the enemy, not an assist from one of your own, although if Liu Bei really wanted to be emperor, the difference between the two would not be that great.

But this is not Liu Bei's own plan.

"Then... Junhou, what do you mean?"

Xia Houyuan asked cautiously.

Liu Bei glanced at these people.

"Of course I don't want to be an emperor. My power is greater than those emperors now. What kind of emperor?"

"But……"

Xia Houyuan was in a hurry.

Others followed suit.

So Liu Bei raised his hand to signal them not to panic.

"I know what you mean, and I also know what you think in your heart. Although I don't have any intention of being an emperor, I know that you will not let me do what I want."

what?
What does it mean?
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Of course, I can't blame you all. From the time I wanted to really revolutionize the big man, I had no choice. Everything I did was not only to revolutionize the big man, but also to push myself to that position. To this day , have been unable to extricate themselves.

There are many people who rely on my identity and power to survive. Without me, they cannot survive, and the new system I built for the big man cannot continue. There are already too many human beings around me alone. Can't help it. "

Liu Bei smiled wryly for a while, then shook his head.

"I can no longer live for myself. I can't even live for my family and family. I have to live for so many people who work for me. If I hand over power at will and take a back seat, it will not only be for the big man Irresponsibility is also irresponsible to them, so I am too selfish."

Several people looked at Liu Bei's slightly bitter face, and their hearts were very complicated.

"Junhou, do you really dislike the position of the Son of Heaven?"

Cheng Pu asked: "No matter how many people scramble for this position, we are willing to do our best to help you now. If you want to become emperor, we will follow you to the death. Why don't you want it?" Woolen cloth?"

Liu Bei looked at Cheng Pu and pondered for a moment.

"Because I don't want my descendants to face everything that today's world is facing because of the same reason. I can't guarantee that my descendants will be able to rule the world like me.

When they are incapable, if they are just ordinary people, they can still live, but if they are royals, it is hard to say. If today's things happen again, how will future generations evaluate me today? "

Cheng Pu was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and said nothing more.

The rest of the people have nothing to say.

Liu Bei looked at their depressed faces, smiled, walked up to them, and patted their shoulders one by one.

"Okay, don't put on such an expression, don't worry, you are fighting for me, I will not betray you, this is my promise to you, I will solve the big problem, I will solve the heavy burden Don't worry, but today's matter, don't tell the outside world, just pretend that this matter doesn't exist."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, a little excited in their hearts, but they didn't figure out what Liu Bei meant.

But Liu Bei didn't let them stay any longer, and waved his hand to let them leave.

"only."

Several people nodded one after another, and then slowly left Liu Bei's office with inconsistent moods.

Seeing the searching and curious eyes of the officials of the General's Mansion outside, they involuntarily quickened their pace, and soon left the General's Mansion and Luoyang City.

When they arrived outside Luoyang City, several people unanimously slowed down the horse's forward speed.

"Did you decide to be the emperor?"

"should be."

"Then our future?"

"Your Majesty will definitely do what you promised us, so we can rest assured."

"But Junhou... will he be happy because he is the emperor?"

No one could answer Cheng Pu's question.

The few people returned to their respective barracks in silence, and kept silent about what happened today. No matter who came to inquire, they all talked about him, and never mentioned any details of this matter.

So those who should be anxious are still anxious, and those who should be anxious are still anxious.

After that, after the rumors had spread quietly for five or six days, Lu Zhi couldn't help but came to the door and asked Liu Bei what was going on.

Liu Bei told Lu Zhi the truth, and Lu Zhi was extremely angry.

"Xuande, what are you going to do? What Zheng Tai has done is already something that can be blamed. I can't tolerate him anymore. I want to stand up and play him!"

"Teacher, Zheng Tai and his group can be destroyed with a snap of a finger, but the most important thing right now is not to deal with Zheng Tai and his group."

Liu Bei shook his head slowly: "Don't you want to know how this matter will develop in the future?"

Lu Zhi was taken aback.

After a while, his expression became complicated.

"Xuande, you..."

"Teacher, I don't want to be the emperor."

After Liu Bei said these words, Lu Zhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became more relaxed.

"Xuande, you are rational. At this moment, you should be rational instead of..."

"But my men won't allow it."

Liu Bei opened his mouth and interrupted Lu Zhi's words: "To be more specific, I once wanted to be an emperor, but then I didn't want to be an emperor anymore. But now, I find that I can't stop being an emperor. If I don't Emperor, the big man is finished."
