The last three kingdoms

Chapter 289 Visiting the Emperor
Compared with the ordinary people who live in peace and prosperity all their lives, Liu Chan, who has lived in grace and wealth all his life, moved his capital to Nanzhong. He is really not used to it. He couldn't hold his breath, and every time he thought about the prosperity of Chengdu, Liu Chan was very depressed.

Liu Chan is still remorseful now, and burned the palace in Chengdu with a torch. It was the place where he lived for more than forty years. No matter how he said it, he had quite deep feelings. I was so bored that I couldn't lift my spirits.

"Your Majesty, Liu Yin, the Great General of Zhenbei, begs to see you." The deacon eunuch carefully played to Liu Chan. He knew that the emperor was in a bad mood now, so don't offend him.

Liu Chan was sitting there taking a nap. After hearing this, he half-opened his eyes and said weakly, "Xuan."

Military affairs are handled by Zhang Shao, Dong Jue, Huo Yi, and Liu Yin. Liu Chan has been emperor for more than 40 years. Since Zhuge Liang's era, he has been used to being a shopkeeper. The habit has become natural. After arriving in Nanzhong, Liu Chan naturally ignored it. General affairs, except for the half-monthly court meeting, Liu Chan basically has nothing to do.Even during the court meeting, Liu Chan said two words most of the time - Zhun Zuo.

This can't be blamed on Liu Chan, who became emperor at the age of 17. He has always been pampered, and everything is handled by capable ministers and virtuous officials. Naturally, he doesn't have to worry too much. With Huang Hao around, Liu Chan's sensuality is also very enjoyable. But now that Huang Hao is gone, Liu Chan naturally has no playmates, and the remaining eunuchs are obsequious, and they can't even say a word of thoughtfulness.Liu Chan really has the heart to deal with government affairs, but he really doesn't understand many things. He is at the height of the temple, and he is not down-to-earth. .

"Your Majesty, my minister, Liu Yin." Liu Yin came up to the hall and bowed.

"Freedom from courtesy." Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "What's there for Wenxuan to play?"

The court ceremonies in the Han Dynasty were generally held on the Lunar Day (the first and fifteenth day of the new year), and the Shu Han Dynasty was no exception. The usual government affairs were handled by the Shangshutai, and only when there were major emergencies did the emperor call the court temporarily , more often, it was the officials of Shangshutai who played the emperor directly, so Liu Yin's entry into the palace at this moment was not beyond Liu Chan's expectations.

Liu Yin glanced at Liu Chan's side. Zhang Tong, the governor of the palace, led eight palace guards to guard him, and there were four other eunuchs serving Liu Chan. Liu Yin's performance of Liu Chan this time can be called the No. [-] secret in Tianzi Except for Liu Chan, Liu Yin doesn't want anyone else to know about it. No one can guarantee that the people around Liu Chan will be loyal, and the less people know about this plan, the safer it will be.

"Your Majesty, what I have said today is too confidential, can you let others step down?"

Liu Chan was a little surprised. In the past, the ministers of Shangshutai never made any similar requests. Today Liu Yin actually asked to wave back.However, Liu Chan still waved his hand to signal the eunuch and guards to retreat.

The eyes of Zhang Tong, the governor of the palace, became serious. His duty was to personally protect the emperor. Although Liu Yin was a minister in the imperial court, he was a foreign minister after all. According to regulations, foreign ministers could not get along with the emperor alone. Because no one can guarantee that foreign ministers will not have disobedience, which may endanger the safety of the emperor.

"Your Majesty—" Zhang Tong cupped his hands.

Liu Chan waved his hand quite casually and said, "Wen Xuan is my nephew, how could he harm me? Let's just wait."

Zhang Tong had no choice but to retreat.

Liu Yin was still a little touched. He never thought that Liu Chan still had such trust in him. Although they still had a blood relationship, Liu Chan is the son of heaven, and the ritual system of monarchs and ministers is an insurmountable gap. Liu Chan can rest assured. Being alone with himself alone shows Liu Yin's status in Liu Chan's mind.

Liu Chan chuckled and said, "As the Son of Heaven, you are often involuntary. I remember that when you were young, you liked playing in my arms the most. Come on, don't stand there, sit next to me. Our uncles and nephews sometimes I haven't talked properly." Liu Chan's eyes flashed a soft look, and he beckoned Liu Yin to sit down.

Liu Yin cupped his hands to thank him, and sat down on Liu Chan's head, still keeping a certain distance. Although Liu Yin could no longer remember what happened when he was a child, he could still feel the strong affection from Liu Chan.

"Wenxuan, what is it that makes it so mysterious?" Liu Chan asked.

Liu Yin said: "Your Majesty, I have just received a report that Wei and Wu are fighting in Xiling and Huainan at the same time. Sima Zhao has invested 25 troops in the two states of Jingyang and Yangzhou on the Yangtze River, and he has the heart to swallow Wu in one fell swoop. Now the decisive battle between Wei and Wu , the rear is empty, and I have a plan to restore the Han Dynasty, and for the sake of prudence, I have to report to His Majesty."

"Oh, what's the trick for Wen Xuan, tell me?" Liu Chan was also quite interested.

"I have definite news that Wei Guo's troops in Guanlong are less than [-], and they are all garrison troops with weak combat capabilities. Now Sima Zhao is devouring Wu with all his heart, and he doesn't care about the two prefectures of Yongliang at all. I am willing to lead an army. If they win Guanlong, they can cut off the food roads of the Wei army entering Sichuan, Zhonghui's army will be in chaos without food, and the recovery of Chengdu is just around the corner."

Now Liu Chan’s dream is to return to Chengdu. Even if Chengdu is a piece of scorched earth, the big deal is to rebuild it. It’s better than staying in Nanzhong. Hearing that Liu Yin has a plan to regain Chengdu, Liu Chan is very excited, but Liu Yin mentioned a roundabout approach to Guanlong , but Liu Chan felt inexplicable.It's true that Liu Chan's body is not diligent, but he won't be so confused that he can't distinguish the five grains. Although he doesn't know the details of the geography of mountains and rivers in central Shu, he still understands the general situation. Now the road leading to Guanlong is completely Being blocked, Liu Yin wanted to cross Shuzhong to Guanlong, but Liu Chan couldn't figure out how Liu Yin was going to go.

"Wenxuan, you have confused me a little. If you don't recover Chengdu, how can you go to Guanlong? What's more, Guanlong is the hinterland of Cao Wei. Zhuge Xiangfu has never captured it in his entire life. With the current military strength, it is not easy to take Guanlong? "

Liu Yin said: "Your Majesty, the general trend of the world lies in one word, and the time is also the same. Now Sima Zhao is determined to destroy Wu, Yongliang and Liangzhou, and there are few soldiers who can defend against the enemy. I plan to lead the army westward from Hanjia and cross the border. Snow Mountain, attacking Longxi in a detour, unexpectedly, attacking it unprepared, taking Longxi, advancing Guanzhong, inheriting the foundation of the ancestors, unifying the world, and helping the Han Dynasty."

"Crossing the snow-capped mountains?" Liu Chan gasped, and said, "I've heard that there are high mountains in the west of Yizhou, and the snow will never melt through the ages. If Wenxuan wants to enter the army from here, it is tantamount to seeking his own death."
