Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 43 Yuan Shaoli's New Emperor

From Liu He's stubborn and pitiful eyes, Liu Xie knew that he could not persuade him.He even knew from this gaze that Liu He wanted to persuade Liu Xie to believe that the heroes of the Kwantung were all good people loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Hey, it's better to believe that those guys are good people than to believe that sows can climb trees.

The current concept of the two people is like two parallel lines on a piece of paper, there is no possibility of intersecting at all.Liu Xie stood quietly beside the copper pillar in the Xuanshi Hall, letting the moonlight shine on him from the huge window lattice, and remained silent for a long time - he had given up the idea of ​​persuading Liu He to change his mind at this time, hoping to use Other ways to prevent Liu He's tragedy.

In history, Liu He, in order to avoid Dong Zhuo's siege, chose a roundabout escape direction. First, he climbed over the mountains and came to Nanyang under the rule of Yuan Shu.Unprepared, he held the idea that all the scholars in the Kwantung were loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, like a little white rabbit who took the initiative to throw himself into the arms of a big bad wolf.

After learning of Liu He's purpose of contacting Liu Yu to join the army, Yuan Shu detained Liu He without saying a word.Because Yuan Shu has been working hard to prepare himself to be the emperor all day long, and you Liu He asked him to help save the emperor, wouldn't that make Yuan Shu feel uncomfortable?

Not only that, Yuan Shu also had his own calculations: he knew that Youzhou was rich in famous cavalry, and for the warlords in the Central Plains, cavalry was a rare advanced armed force, and having cavalry could help them fight against warlords. Win in the melee.So he lied to Liu He and said, I also have the wish of King Qin, why don't you let your father send troops to Nanyang and join me in marching together.

Liu He, who had a broken picture, believed Yuan Shu's lies. He wrote to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu really sent thousands of cavalry to Nanyang.In order to please Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan also sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue and more than a thousand cavalry to help him.

Ordinarily, the soldiers sent by Liu Yu should be led by Liu He, but Yuan Shu then colluded with Gongsun Yue to directly detain Liu He and seize his army.Then Yuan Shu threw the cavalry aided by Liu Yu into the melee of the warlords, and completely betrayed his original promise to Liu He.

Only then did Liu He realize that he had been deceived and was very angry.But he had the most ridiculous tenacity of a scholar and the stupidity of not turning back without hitting the south wall, so he saw the right time and escaped from Yuan Shu, preparing to go to Youzhou via Hebei.

Perhaps Liu He's mission was destined to suffer. When he passed through Hebei, he was discovered by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao also detained him.

Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had a bloody fight, they had the same attitude towards the court of Chang'an. If Liu He succeeded in contacting King Liu Yuqin, how would he realize his ambition to dominate the world?

The Kwantung heroes actually had a very vague understanding of the Chang'an court under Dong Zhuo's control. For them, it is better to let the court continue to be controlled by Dong Zhuo and other Liangzhou warriors. It is legal to expand personal power by order of the imperial court.

In addition, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are really brothers. Yuan Shao also wants to use Liu He, but what he wants is not cavalry, but Liu He as a hostage to blackmail Liu Yu and let Liu Yu help him deal with Gongsun Zan.At that time, Gongsun Zan was at the height of his power and was Yuan Shao's greatest threat.

Liu He was detained until his father Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan. At this time, Yuan Shao gave Liu He a certain degree of freedom. He asked Liu He to contact Liu Yu's old troops, and jointly attacked Gongsun Zan in the name of Liu Yu's revenge. Liu He was tied to Yuan Shao's chariot.Involuntarily plunged into the torrent of warlord melee, unable and powerless to turn back...

The tragedies of Liu He and Liu Yu witnessed the arduous journey of traditional scholars who were loyal to the court in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to save the country and the country. More tragedies to come.

Those scholars and heroes who were deeply taught by loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness have degenerated into selfish warlords, and the court of Chang'an has been completely abandoned by them.It's a pity, but having said that, Liu He, who hasn't experienced these things, can't imagine such a scene at all.

"Brother Huang, you don't know about the conflict between Zhen and Guo Si today, do you?" Liu Xie said casually. He didn't have any good ideas for the time being, but he didn't want the two of them to stay silent like this, so he smiled awkwardly. : "To tell you the truth, brother, I always thought that Dong Zhuo would come to find me."

"Dong Zhuo won't be here tonight." Liu He explained with a trace of pain on his face, "A major incident happened in Kanto, and I only heard about it from Lord Situ."

"What's the matter?" Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment. These days, successive troublesome incidents kept his thoughts locked in the inner palace, but he really didn't care much about the affairs outside the palace.

"Yuan Shao, according to Jizhou!" Liu He gritted his teeth almost every word and said these words, and then he said through gritted teeth: "Dong Thief, that powerful thief, after hearing the news, he sent the imperial governor Yuan Wei, The imperial servant Yuan Ji and more than [-] members of the Yuan family, including their relatives and servants, were all killed!"

Liu Xie's complexion changed slightly. Although he knew that this would happen in history, he still couldn't help frowning: the officialdom has always paid attention to the compromise between the old and the old, Dong Zhuo once recruited for Yuan Kai, and now the bloodbath masters are full of heads Bad rules.Once this evil example is established, there will inevitably be more such incidents in the future, and the trend of punishing the superiors will probably intensify.

Moreover, this is still a very scary signal.It shows that Dong Zhuo has already started planning to use insane killings to deal with those scholars who disobeyed him...

However, Liu Xie thought about it again, and found another valuable thing from this calamity, and sighed slightly: "Han Fu Hanwen Festival is also my minister of the great Han, and Yuan Shao took Jizhou privately, but what did the Han minister do?"

Liu He's face froze. He didn't expect Liu Xie to learn about this incident, and even wanted to persuade himself to change his mind.After being moved for a while, I couldn't help feeling a little more guilty, and hesitantly explained: "Because of this, I will go to Kanto to have a look."

"Why?" Liu Xie could see that Liu He's defense had loosened, but he never thought that Liu He would go his own way.

"Because Han Fu deserves to die!" Liu He's face turned serious, with a hint of ferocity: "This man spread rumors about the world, and wanted my father to be the ruler of the world, and Yuan Benchu ​​acted on behalf of the heavens. Good job!"

"Han Fu wants to make Da Sima the emperor?" Liu Xie suddenly laughed. Everyone in the world knows this. Han Fu is just the idiot who waved the flag in front of him. The real mastermind behind the scenes is precisely Yuan Shao!

"Four stars will be at Jiwei, and the gods will be at Yanfen." Liu Xie said these words leisurely, with a smile on his face.The "Yan Fen" here refers to the place of Youzhou, because the geographical location of Youzhou is equivalent to the Yan State in the Warring States Period.That is to say, there will be a god and man in Youzhou - Liu Yu was the shepherd of Youzhou at that time, which alludes to Liu Yu.

People in the Han Dynasty at this time were very superstitious, thinking that major events such as the change of dynasty were the will of heaven, and this will can be inferred from various celestial phenomena.Among them, the most famous one is the "Five Elements Alternation Theory" deduced by Dong Zhongshu, a Confucian scholar during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, based on the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams. These formed the "School of Prophecy" in the Han Dynasty.

When Han Fu said this, he was actually creating public opinion for Liu Yu to be emperor.In addition to this person, Han Fu also said that someone in Jiyin County found a jade seal, which said "Yu is the Son of Heaven", which means that Liu Yu should be the emperor.In addition to using prophecy to confuse people's hearts, Han Fu also quoted the "story" of the previous dynasty, saying that Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, was the fifth generation descendant of the Han family clan Dingwang. Established the Han Dynasty; now Liu Yu is also the fifth generation descendant of the Han family clan (King Gong), and also holds the official position of Da Sima, and is also in Hebei (Youzhou belongs to Hebei), what a coincidence!Doesn't this mean that Liu Yu should become the emperor?
Hearing Liu Xie uttered the rumor just now with a strange expression, Liu He suddenly fell to the ground, and said in awe and fear, "Your Majesty, this is Han Fu's nonsense, trying to instigate my clan and monarchs in vain, Your Majesty, please don't worry!"

Liu Xie suddenly turned his head to look at Liu He, who was kneeling on the ground, and felt a sudden sadness in his heart: the position of the emperor is indeed too high.So high that even if the Han Dynasty declined like this, the distance between the emperor and people is still so far away.It's so far away that even if I try to stretch my arms, I can't touch the clothes of the people around me... Those who are hostile are full of hostility towards him; while those who are loyal to him can only surrender and kneel.

This made Liu Xie feel a little sad and a little lonely.

So, he supported Liu He, and said in a joking tone as calm as possible: "You don't have to be like this, brother, I just can't figure it out. How can a person like Han Fu suddenly have such courage?"

Liu He raised his head suddenly, saw the shining eyes in Liu Xie's eyes, his heart sank helplessly, and said slowly in pain, "Yuan Shao is behind the scenes to support..."
