The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 210 Liu Biao and the others were unwilling to give up, and King Wu Liu Yutong’s 15 troops marched south to Luoyang.
As soon as He Jin said that he had Liu Hongtuo's imperial edict in his hand, and it was also an edict that established the third prince as the crown prince of the auxiliary state, this immediately caused an uproar among the civil and military officials and the eight governors.

It made Zhang Rang and others instantly furious.

Downstairs, He Jin's face immediately dropped when he heard Zhang Rang saying that he was pretending to pass on the imperial edict.

"How presumptuous, Zhang Rang. If you are falsely conveying the imperial edict, you will know if you open your dog eyes and take a look. You didn't look. Besides, I am falsely conveying the imperial edict. I will chop off your head!"

He Jin was furious and snorted coldly at Zhang Rang. Apparently, Zhang Rang said that He Jin was falsely passing on the imperial edict, which made He Jin very dissatisfied.

"What the general is saying is that he pretended to pass on the imperial edict without even looking at it, thinking that a certain Dong Zhuo's sword would be dangerous?!"

Dong Zhuo shouted loudly, holding the holy decree in his hand, openly and honestly. At this time, Dong Zhuo was in high spirits.

"Impossible, impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty will not appoint the third prince as the auxiliary prince. He Jin, the imperial edict in your hand is a forgery. It must be a false edict!" Zhang Rang, who was on the city wall, still insisted. He said, which made He Jin and Dong Zhuo in the city furious.

He Jin simply ignored Zhang Rang, looked at Huang Zhong aside, and snorted coldly:
"Huang Weiwei, I, the general, have the decree of Tuogu in my hands. If you don't believe it, you can naturally check it. However, this general, with the decree of Tuogu, tells you to open the palace gate!"

He Jin's strong and confident snort made the officials on the city tower and the eight state pastors a little confused.

Why was He Jin so confident? Did he really have an imperial edict to make the third prince Liu Lin the crown prince?

People were surprised.

However, when Huang Zhong heard that He Jin had an imperial edict in his hand to make the third prince Liu Lin the crown prince, his eyes flashed with brilliance and he said loudly:
"Xu'er, hurry up and check the imperial edict!"

Huang Zhong's angry words resounded loudly, shocking the civil and military officials.

The tall young man following Huang Zhong did not hesitate after hearing the words, and immediately hung him flexibly from the city wall with a rope.

He Jin knew Huang Xu's identity, but he did not stop Huang Xu from checking the imperial edict. When Huang Xu saw the imperial edict, his eyes instantly lit up.

But they found that the imperial edict indeed wanted to establish the third prince Liu Lin as the crown prince of the auxiliary country.

Huang Xu looked at the seal again and saw that it was the jade seal passed down to the country.

Even the handwriting.

Huang Xu's eyes widened. He first bowed his hand to He Jin, then turned to Huang Zhong and said loudly to Huang Zhong on the city wall: "Father, it's the imperial decree. It's the one who established the third prince as the crown prince of the auxiliary kingdom!"

Huang Xu's voice was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, exploding in everyone's ears.

What did they hear?
Is it the imperial edict, which establishes the third prince as the crown prince of the auxiliary kingdom?
"This...how is this possible? Two princes in one dynasty? This has never happened before!"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

……

All civil and military officials exploded.

Brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao couldn't help but look down.

As for Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, they all shouted at the top of their lungs that it was impossible.

Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, and Liu Yao, the four Zhou Mu with the surname Liu, looked at each other and you could almost see the gloom in each other's eyes.

In fact, several people were extremely happy when they heard that Liu Hong wanted them to serve as auxiliary ministers.

Liu Xie is still young, and the assistant minister means that he can hold power.

As long as the four of them are of the same mind, then the whole big man will even have the final say, so how can they not be excited.

However, now, another imperial edict appeared, which actually wanted to make the third prince the crown prince. This moment made the four Zhou Mu surnamed Liu very unhappy.

"General, the imperial edict is not a trivial matter. There is also an imperial edict here, which is to establish the second prince as the crown prince of the auxiliary country. The ministers have verified that it is written by His Majesty himself. So, is the imperial edict in your hand true?"

Liu Biao stood up and said loudly with a gloomy expression.

"What? You also have an imperial edict? Is it to establish the second prince as the crown prince of the auxiliary kingdom?" He Jin couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing Liu Biao's words. His voice was even a little shrill, but He Jin was shocked. .

However, He Jin was shocked for a moment and immediately said loudly:

"Impossible, impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty will appoint the second prince as the assistant prince. How can the second prince be compared with the third prince? The imperial edict in your hands is a forgery. It must be a false edict!"

He Jin cursed loudly.

Dong Zhuo was also confused when he heard that there was another prince. However, he was also shocked and angry after being confused.

However, Li Ru's pupils suddenly shrank at this moment, and his eyes flickered when he looked at the imperial edict in He Jin's hand.

Up and down the palace walls, He Jin and Zhang Rang were like shrews, and soon the civil and military ministers could no longer sit still.

"Huang Weiwei opens the city gate, and we will go to the general to test the imperial edict in person!"

The ministers said to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong ignored Zhang Rang's shouts and raised his hands to all the civil and military officials, saying: "Then thank you for your hard work!"

The palace gate soon opened a little, and civil and military officials came out one by one. He Jin did not let anyone take the opportunity to attack the palace.

Liu Hong was dead, and there was no point in attacking the palace again.

Now is the critical moment to gain the support of all civil and military officials and gain legitimacy.

A large group of civil and military ministers came to He Jin and held up the imperial edict. Wang Yun, Cai Yong and others examined it carefully one by one.

The final inspection results stunned Wang Yun, Cai Yong and other civil and military ministers.

"This... this is His Majesty's handwriting, and it is stamped with the imperial seal. This is also a true imperial edict. Your Majesty really personally made the third prince a prince. How is this possible? Which one should we support?"

All the civil and military officials realized that the imperial edict in He Jin's hand was also the real edict. They were numb for a moment, but they didn't know how to deal with it.

If two princes are established in one dynasty, won't they have to kill each other?
He Jin was immediately happy when he received the final confirmation of the true imperial edict from the civil and military officials, and immediately shouted coldly to Zhang Rang:
"Did Zhang Rang hear this? The real imperial edict is in the hands of my general. I am afraid that it is a fake imperial edict in your hands? Also, I have long suspected that you are the one who is keeping His Majesty under house arrest!"

He Jin's words made Zhang Rang tremble with anger.

However, He Jin didn't care what Zhang Rang's reaction was, and immediately said forcefully to Huang Zhong:

"Huang Weiwei, since the imperial edict in my hands is true, why don't you open the city gate quickly and let me ask the queen and the third prince to come out and deliver justice!"

He Jin snorted coldly, but Huang Zhong was not angry. He looked at Zhang Rang, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others apologetically and said:

"I'm sorry, everyone. The general also has an imperial decree in his hand. Huang Zhong can no longer prevent the general from entering the palace. But don't worry, the Yulin Army is the most loyal guard of the princes and will protect the palace!"

With that said, Huang Zhong waved his hand and said: "Open the palace gate!"

"promise!"

Huang Zhong's order was issued, and all the Yulin troops immediately opened the palace gate.

He Jin did not hesitate and immediately led the army into the palace.

……

Liu Hong's death was a shock to the whole of Luoyang, but two imperial edicts were issued as he approached, which immediately made the situation in Luoyang become confusing.

However, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, and Liu Yao, the four prefecture pastors surnamed Liu, were extremely unwilling to do so.

Luoyang City, Zhang Rang's residence.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten regular servants, as well as the four prefectural pastors surnamed Liu, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai and Liu Yao, gathered together.

"Zhang Rang, what's going on? Why does the general have an imperial decree to pass on the throne?"

Liu Biao couldn't help but said angrily to Zhang Rang.As he became the shepherd of Jingzhou and held the political, economic and military power in Jingzhou, Liu Biao became too tough.

Zhang Rang listened to Liu Biao's questions, but he was not angry.

Liu Hong died, and Zhang Rang understood that he and others could only rely on Liu Xie to survive.

For Liu Xie to ascend the throne, he needs the full support of Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai and Liu Yao. Therefore, Zhang Rang now needs to curry favor with Liu Biao.

Zhang Rang hurriedly said:

"Jingzhou Mu, our family really doesn't know about this, and I can be sure that His Majesty's original intention is to make the second prince the crown prince!"

Zhang Rang said with certainty, almost swearing to prove the truth of what he said.

However, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, and Liu Yao did not believe it.

"Zhang Rang, do you think that I, Liu Dai, am a fool? The third prince, Liu Lin, is born with extraordinary talents and intelligence. He has always been recognized as a candidate for the crown prince. You said that His Majesty's original intention is to make the second prince the crown prince?"

Liu Dai snorted coldly, but it was to express his dissatisfaction with Zhang Rang for deceiving him.

"That's right, I'm afraid it's not He Jin who is pretending to pass the imperial edict, but you Zhang Rang who is pretending to pass the imperial edict!" At this time, Liu Yao also said meaningfully.

Zhang Rang was ashamed and angry when he saw that Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, and Liu Yao all thought it was him who had falsely conveyed the imperial edict, but Zhang Rang did not dare to get angry.

"Four clan members, it's true that you don't want to falsely convey the imperial edict. Your Majesty really doesn't want the third prince to be the prince, but only wants the second prince to be the prince!" Zhang Rang said.

"Haha, if this is really the case, Zhang Changshi really thinks that we are fools. He pretended to pass the imperial edict but dare not admit it. He also wants us to charge into the battle for you. Forgive me for not playing with Zhang Changshi!" Liu Yan said directly He stood up and said to Zhang Rang unceremoniously.

It seems that Liu Yan has decided not to get involved in this matter.

Naturally, the auxiliary minister is very attractive, but everyone in the world knows that the third prince Liu Lin is born with a vision and is very talented. He is the next prince. At this time, two imperial edicts appeared, and there were even two princes. What a joke. ?

Undoubtedly, in the eyes of everyone, the imperial edict to establish Liu Xie as the crown prince of the auxiliary country is undoubtedly false!
It seems that it is not so wise for them to insist on promoting this matter!

Following Liu Yan stood up.

Liu Biao, Liu Dai, and Liu Yao also stood up.

"These...four clan members, don't leave, don't leave. If even four clan members are to leave and ignore this matter, then His Majesty will really die in peace, and the country will be usurped by others!"

When Zhou Mu, surnamed Liu, was about to leave, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others immediately panicked.

Zhao Zhong was heartbroken at this time and said to Zhang Rang:
"It's better to tell the truth to the four clan members. The next four clan members will know anyway, so it's better to tell it earlier!"

"This!" Zhang Rang's eyes flashed with hesitation, but he still said to the four Zhou Mumen named Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, and Liu Yao who had already stood up:

"Four clan members, there is actually a reason why Your Majesty did not make the third prince the crown prince, because Your Majesty suspected that the third prince Liu Lin was the son of King Wu Liu Yu!"

"What? Your Majesty suspects that the third prince Liu Lin is the son of King Wu Liu Yu?!!"

In the hall, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai and Liu Yao, the four Zhou Mu surnamed Liu who had already stood up, heard Zhang Rang's words and immediately screamed in uproar.

……

On the other side, when He Jin and his people first met the queen, and then when they saw little Liu Lin who looked similar to Liu Yu, they were also stunned on the spot.

……

……

Yunzhong County, Tiansheng City.

Prince Wu's Mansion, in the meeting hall.

Feng Wen, Liu He, Jia Xu, Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Yue Yun, Luo Cheng, Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing and dozens of others filled the entire hall. of.

Liu Yu sat on the throne of King Wu, and everyone stood up.

"Meet King Wu!"

Everyone paid homage and Liu Yu waved his hand.

"Sit everyone!"

Everyone bowed their hands.

"I'm calling you today because of the recent changes in Luoyang. The general summoned Dong Zhuo to Luoyang, and then His Majesty summoned the governors of eight states in the world to gather in Luoyang!" Liu Yu said lightly.

Feng Wen, Liu He, Jia Xu, Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu, Guo Jia and others all frowned when they heard Liu Yu's words.

They have been informed of the situation.

It seems that the situation in Luoyang is more complicated than they imagined.

The shepherds of Kyushu gathered in Luoyang City. What are they going to do?
Liu Yu looked at everyone, took a deep breath and said:

"A few days ago, news came from Luoyang that His Majesty passed away, leaving behind two imperial edicts. One made the second prince Liu Xie the crown prince of the auxiliary state. He was appointed by the permanent ministers Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai and Liu Yao, the pastor of Yangzhou, assisted him together."

After a pause, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with something strange, and he said again:

"The second imperial edict establishes the third prince Liu Lin as the crown prince of the auxiliary kingdom!"

Liu Yu's words echoed through the hall. Feng Wen, Liu He, Jia Xu and other civil servants and generals in the hall were stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at each other. What did they hear?
Liu Hong died?
There are still two imperial edicts left, one making Liu Xie the prince, and the other making Liu Lin the prince?
"This, establishing two princes? Never seen such a thing in every dynasty? Is there an imperial edict that is fake?"

Zhen Yi couldn't help but exclaimed in shock.

The generals also nodded.

But at this time, the increasingly mature Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said:

"Does this need to be said? Of course the imperial edict that conferred the title of Third Prince is true. How can Liu Xie compare with the Third Prince?"

After listening to Guan Yu's words, the generals nodded again.

At this time, Jia Xu frowned and said to Liu Yu:
"Luoyang is in chaos. If it is not handled well, it may become the source of chaos in the world. Your lord summoned us to go to Luoyang?"

Jia Xu asked Liu Yu, and all the civil and military officials looked at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu nodded and said:

"Yes, Lin'er is my adopted son. No one has the right to harm Lin'er. Only if I go there in person can Lin'er be safe!"

"So this time, I personally led an army of 15 to Luoyang to take charge of the overall situation. Jia Xu stayed to take charge of the political affairs in the north. Feng Wen and Liu He assisted. Guan Yu led the troops to train and guard the north. Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Yue Yun, Luo Cheng, Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Gao Chong, and Yang Zaixing all go to Luoyang with me!"

Liu Yu said calmly, but there was no doubt in his voice.

The civil and military officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that General Liu Yu was heading south to Luoyang with 15 elite troops.

15 elite troops. You must know that when Liu Yu led the army to conquer the grassland, he had not yet used such a large army.

It is enough to show that Liu Yu attaches great importance to this trip to Luoyang!

"promise!"

Faced with Liu Yu's words, all civil and military officials accepted the offer!

The next day, Liu Yu, together with Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Yue Yun, Luo Cheng, Dian Wei, Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing and other civil and military officers, led an elite army of 15 and marched south to Luoyang in a mighty manner.
