Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 249 Chang'an changed hands, Liu Xie's suspicion

Changan.

Lu Bu cut Li Jue off his horse with a halberd, announcing the end of the Xiliang rebellion.

"Marquis Wen's bravery is unmatched by anyone in the world." Chen Gong rode his horse and stood on the right of Lu Bu, and praised him sincerely.

Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's painted halberd on his shoulder, and laughed heartily: "If it wasn't for the conspiracy of Gongtai, how could this Marquis enter Chang'an City."

"After seeing the emperor, this Marquis will stand in front of the emperor and show his meritorious deeds."

Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong fought like a broken bamboo all the way, and they wiped out Fan Chou, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Li Jue, and the rest surrendered or fled.

The territory of Guanzhong is completely controlled by Lu Bu and Zhang Miao.

main hall.

Ma Rixun had already invited Liu Xiehe and other officials to meet Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong.

Seeing Lu Bu arrive with Li Jue's head in his hand, Liu Xie's worries suddenly became much less.

When Dong Zhuo was there, although Liu Xie called Dong Zhuo Shangfu, and Dong Zhuo often insulted the concubines in the palace, those concubines had no direct relationship with Liu Xie, and Liu Xie barely looked like an emperor.

When Li Jue was around, he stopped pretending.

If Jia Xu hadn't stopped them, Liu Xie's Empress Fu and Liu Bian's widow Tang Ji would have been almost insulted by Li Jue.

Seeing that Li Jue is dead now, Liu Xie is completely at ease.

"The general is brave, I didn't see the wrong person." Liu Xie still had a pretty good impression of Lu Bu.

In the battle of killing Dong, Lu Bu escaped from the pursuit of Xiliang generals with Liu Xie on his back.

Although Li Jue and Guo Bang besieged the city with [-] soldiers from Xiliang, and Lu Bu fled, it was not Lu Bu's fault. Wang Yun's military power was taken away by Wang Yun, and Lu Bu was powerless.

Thinking of the previous lessons and worrying that Lu Bu would be emptied of his military power again, Liu Xie rewarded him: "General, you have saved me many times, which shows your loyalty."

"Today, I named you the Great General of Jianwei, holding the festival, and commanding the world's soldiers and horses."

The general is the highest rank in the military, and the title is the honor bestowed by the emperor on the general.

Lu Bu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

For Lu Bu, adding Jianwei in front of the general, this kind of honor makes Lu Bu very useful.

Although the Great General and the Great General Jianwei have similar powers, they sound and feel different.

Especially for Lu Bu, who has a good face, the general Jianwei is much more domineering than the general.

And "holding integrity and controlling the world's soldiers and horses" is Liu Xie's great trust in Lu Bu. How can Lu Bu not be moved by this?

Lu Bu is not Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, so he will not think of replacing Liu Xie. A "general who builds power, holds the integrity, and controls the world's soldiers and horses" is enough for Lu Bu to do his best to Liu Xie.

Of course, the premise of this deadly force is that Lu Bu will not be defeated.

As long as Lu Bu is not defeated, Liu Xie will be safe and sound.

But if Lu Bu was defeated, abandoning Liu Xie would be a matter of seconds.

Lu Bu got the benefits, so naturally he didn't forget about Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, so he said: "Your Majesty, I only know martial arts, but I don't know anything about governing the country."

"Prefect Zhang Miao of Chenliu, and Chen Gong, Prime Minister of Dongjun County, are rare heroes in this world. Zhang Miao and Chen Gong have contributed a lot to this minister's ability to enter the pass to save His Majesty."

"The minister thought that Zhang Miao could be granted the title of situ, to record the affairs of the minister, and Chen Gong as the decree of the minister, to assist Zhang Miao in governing the government, lead all the officials, and restore the people's livelihood in Guanzhong."

"When the Guanzhong is stable, Your Majesty will personally lead the ministers, and go out of the tiger prison to the east, and wipe out the rebellious ministers and traitors."

"After the world is unified, with your majesty's merits, you will surely be famous in history and become the master of Zhongxing."

Lu Bu's remarks were discussed with Zhang Miao and Chen Gong in advance, and Liu Xie was very useful when he said them at this time.

Both Zhang Miao and Chen Gong believed that in order to gain a foothold in Chang'an and not be rejected by Chang'an's ministers, Liu Xie must have the pleasure of being in power.

If, like Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, they only cared about holding the emperor hostage and issuing the emperor's order without authorization, Liu Xie would be disgusted and angry, and eventually they would follow in the footsteps of Dong Zhuo and Li Jue.

Therefore, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong asked Lu Bu to make some minor changes in his speaking skills.

For example, Lu Bu offered to take care of the military and not politics; Lu Bu replaced Liu Xiedong with Liu Xie and led Lu Budong out of the tiger prison; and said that Liu Xie's achievements could be remembered in history and become the master of ZTE.

It is impossible for Liu Xie to actually conscript himself, but in this way, Liu Xie will have a strong sense of participation and a thrill of being in power.

This kind of respect made Liu Xie sigh in his heart: "Marquis Wen has made such great achievements, but he is not like Dong Zhuo and Li Jue who are in power. Instead, he imagines for me. He is really the number one loyal minister of my man."

The court officials and officials all looked at Lu Bu in astonishment, as if they were meeting Lu Bu for the first time.

This is to return power to Liu Xie?
seriously?
For Liu Xie, Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong were the loyal and meritorious ministers of King Qin.

But for all officials in the DPRK and China, what most people think in their hearts is "there is another Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, just the same raccoon."

As a result, Lu Bu showed a different side.

He was conferred the title of "Great General of Jianwei, holding the festival, and in charge of the world's soldiers and horses", but he offered to ignore political affairs!

"This Lu Bu, how could he be so scheming?"

"Couldn't he be afraid that what happened to Wang Situ will happen again, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong will take over the military power again?"

"This Lu Bu is the same as Dong Zhuo and Li Jue. He must have said that on purpose today."

"Hmph, there is no courtier in this world who is not greedy for power."

"Let's wait and see. There will definitely be chaos in this pass. When I kill Lu Bu, I will definitely be valued by the emperor."

"A mere warrior is also worthy of being a general? We are princes for generations."

"."

The ministers and officials have different minds, and they are hostile to Lu Buduo.

After experiencing the dictatorship of Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, the public officials who have survived are all treacherous people. Although they despise Lu Bu in their hearts, they will not show up at this time.

Liu Xie was obsessed with enjoying the pleasure of being in power at this time, so he proposed: "Since I ascended the throne in the first year of Chuping, I have been held hostage by the Dong thief and the remnants of Xiliang, and I cannot decide everything."

"Even Wang Yun, who claims to be a loyal minister, refused to let me rule because I was young."

"Now is the first month of the fifth year of Chuping, and Li Jue has been destroyed. I am determined to take charge of the government and change the year name to the first year of Xingping, which means to promote peace in the world."

"Everyone, what do you think?"

When Liu Xie wanted to be in charge of the government and change the reign name, Lu Bu was the first to speak out in support: "Is there no king in the world, and the king's ministers on the coast of the land."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can the courtiers monopolize the power?"

"Your Majesty, General Jianwei Lu Bu, respectfully obey His Majesty's orders."

"From today onwards, the year will be the first year of Xingping, which is also the year that His Majesty will be in charge."

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong also agreed.

Good guy!
All the ministers, civil and military officials in the hall were completely confused by the methods of Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong.

Change the year name, the emperor will be in charge?

Is this really Lu Bu?

But Lu Bu and the newly appointed monk Situ Shuling all agreed, and the rest of the ministers, civil and military, did not. Wasn't that deliberately looking for trouble for Liu Xie?

In desperation, all civil and military officials could only second their proposals one after another.

But each of them looked at Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong with fear.

Compared with Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, the Lu Bu trio's methods are more sophisticated!

This is a game similar to Shi Changshi!

As long as you listen to the emperor, no one can shake the position of Lu Bu's trio.

The meeting is over.

Liu Xie excitedly left Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong behind, and asked about the future of the court.

Although Liu Xie claimed to be on his own, he was self-aware.

Liu Xie can't handle this major national event.

Lu Bu didn't speak, but took a step forward and stood beside Liu Xie like a guard.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong looked at each other, and Zhang Miao answered Liu Xie's question: "Your Majesty, Fang is here today, and the two emperors are in the same sky."

"Although Liu Kai of Zhuocheng is a false emperor, with the support of Yuan Shao and the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, his reputation and appeal are not weaker than your Majesty's."

"Between Your Majesty and Liu Kai, it is doomed that the outcome can only be determined by war."

Liu Xie said angrily: "Yuan Shao is a traitor, he has forgotten the great honor that the great man gave to the Yuan family, and now he supports a false emperor, he must have Wang Mang's heart."

Zhang Miao originally had a grudge against Yuan Shao, but at this time he also had sympathy with Liu Xie, and said: "Now Ma Teng and Han Sui in Bingzhou have turned to Yuan Shao."

"Guanzhong was ruined because of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others' rebellion. It is extremely difficult for Your Majesty to deal with Yuan Shao."

"And in Kanto, because of Dong Zhuo and Li Jue's edicts, the governors of all the prefectures became state shepherds, so that Qing, Yan, Yu, Xu, Yang, and Jing prefectures respected the state shepherds, and did not know your majesty's name."

"Although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he cannot command the people of the six states."

Liu Xie said worriedly: "It is not what I want to change history and establish animal husbandry. But now that the emperor's order has been issued, it is difficult to take back the emperor's order. Does Situ have a good plan to teach me?"

Zhang Miao paused, then said in a concentrated voice: "In the past, His Majesty was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si, and none of the imperial orders issued were what His Majesty wanted."

"Now that His Majesty is in charge, in order to establish prestige, it is natural to take back the power of pastors in each state."

"Of course, this is just an attitude that His Majesty asked the pastors of the states to express, not really wanting to take back their power."

"If you are willing to change herds to history, His Majesty can still let them be state shepherds."

"If you shirk and refuse, you will be regarded as a traitor and traitor, and your majesty can send troops to crusade!"

"Benevolence and power come together, who in the six Kanto states would dare to refuse?"

Liu Xie was excited.

In the past, no one would analyze the general situation of the world for Liu Xie in such a detailed manner.

Basically, Dong Zhuo or Li Jue came over and told Liu Xie what to do.

At this time, Liu Xie has a sense of participation that he never had before.

"Situ's words are justified." Liu Xie sat upright, trying to maintain the demeanor of the emperor: "I will leave this matter to Situ, I am very relieved."

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong talked with Liu Xie about the general situation of the world. They told Liu Xie all the major events from the first year of Chuping to the fourth year of Chuping.

This caused Liu Xie's vision to undergo an earth-shaking change.

When he was the puppet emperor, Liu Xie Neng's understanding of the general situation of the world was very limited, as if he had blocked his eyes and ears.

But now, after listening to Zhang Miao and Chen Gong's narration, the changes in the general situation of the world in the past four years emerged in Liu Xie's mind.

Liu Xie was originally smart, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong didn't need to explain too much about the changes in the world over the past four years to understand some of the implications.

On the other hand, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, intentionally or unintentionally, let Liu Xie see the threat from Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others.

The most clever part of the divorce plan is not flattery, but inadvertently establishing the theory of Cao Cao's threat, Liu Bei's threat, Liu Biao's threat, and Liu Yan's threat.

But Zhang Miao and Chen Gong always maintained a low profile as courtiers, let Liu Xie take the initiative to think about the problems, and then actively asked Zhang Miao and Chen Gong for countermeasures.

"When General Zhenxi had not obtained the right to fake festivals, in order to kill Yuan Shu, he was able to link up soldiers from all walks of life without an order. Even King Chen was able to serve him. Now that he has the right to fake festivals, isn't it... "

"General Zhengdong attacked Xuzhou without authorization for his own personal revenge"

"Jingzhou's fertile fields are thousands of miles away, and the army is complete, but Liu Biao doesn't think of King Qin."

"Liu Yan isolated Hanzhong and destroyed the plank road without authorization. Is this trying to establish himself as king in Hanzhong?"

The heart of an emperor is the most suspicious.

Liu Xie has been the puppet emperor for four years, and has suffered a lot, and his mind is far inferior to others.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong just stated the general situation of the world to Liu Xie, which already caused Liu Xie a lot of suspicion.

In fact, Liu Xie had already forgotten Lu Zhi's entrustment before his death, and had grown jealous of Liu Bei.

After leaving Liu Xie's bedroom, Lu Bu left alone to find his lost wife and daughter.

He thought his wife and daughter would be harmed by Li Jue and Guo Si, but Lu Bu learned that his wife and daughter were hidden by Pang Shu, who was also from Bingzhou.

This made Lu Bu very happy.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rode back together.

"Gongtai, the Son of Heaven has already become suspicious of the state shepherds of the six states in the Kanto region. There is already a chance to integrate the power of the six states in the Kanto region." Zhang Miao said lightly.

Zhang Miao enjoyed the feeling of strategizing in battle.

Chen Gong also said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, and Li Jue are all short-sighted and short-witted people. The emperor is young, so the officials will assist in this country's major affairs."

"But they think they can coerce the emperor to order the world, and let the emperor decide everything. How stupid."

"As a young emperor like this, we should act like ten permanent attendants, and follow the emperor's wishes in everything we do."

"Give the emperor the thrill of his own conquest, so that our status will be as unshakable as Mount Tai."

"If you can't become the emperor's confidant, how can you serve the emperor to order the world?"

Zhang Miao laughed: "It's also thanks to Lu Bu's low ambition. Although Lu Bu is arrogant, as long as he does what he likes, he can be driven."

"With the wisdom of Gongtai and the martial arts of Lu Bu, Guanzhong only needs to recuperate for three years before he can conquer the heroes of the world."

Chen Gong nodded: "It's a pity. If it weren't for Wang Yun's greed for power, Guanzhong wouldn't be in such a state of decline, and Ma Teng and Han Sui wouldn't fall to Yuan Shao."

"If you and I were in Guanzhong in the past, how could Yuan Shao and others be allowed to run rampant?"

Zhang Miao laughed loudly: "Although the timing is a bit short, you and I have already taken charge of the power in the court. As long as you don't act like Wang Yun and cut Lu Bu's military power. This pass is as stable as Mount Tai!"

Chen Gong nodded: "Now that Guanzhong has been settled, it's time to inquire about the information of Guandong. Last time, there was information that Liu Bei used troops against Yuan Shu again, and I don't know how the battle will go."

"If Yuan Shu is really defeated by Liu Bei, then Liu Bei's family will dominate the Kwantung heroes,"

With the support of Liu Xie, Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong quickly rectified the military and political affairs in Guanzhong, and gradually got on the right track.
