Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33
After Lu Zhi took three eunuchs out of the main hall to visit Emperor Ling.

All the officials in the hall also stood up one after another, walked out of the hall, followed in the footsteps of Shang Lu Zhi and others to visit Emperor Ling, of course it is unknown how many of them are loyal.

Liu Qi and Cai Yan also stood up, and Cai Yong also came to their side, but they did not intend to follow the crowd to visit Emperor Ling, but were preparing to leave the palace.

The banquet is over before it starts, and there is nothing to do if you stay here. Although you are invited to the banquet, you don’t have any official positions, and you can’t go to Lingdi’s bedroom. Let them wait here, it’s better to leave the palace go back.

"Old Cai!"

Just when Liu Qi and the others were about to leave the hall, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao walked over, and Xun Yu also stood up from his seat and walked to Cao Cao's side.

Cai Yong nodded, knowing in his heart that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were not looking for him, so he turned his head and said, "Qi'er, I'll wait for you outside!"

After speaking, before Liu Qi could answer, he stepped out.

"Brother Liu Qi, it seems that it may take some time before we want to meet for a drink!" Yuan Shao said.

"That's right, it's a pity. I planned to invite brother Liu Qi to have a drink at night after the banquet. Looking at the current situation, it's impossible!" Cao Cao's tone was full of regret.

"Brother Mengde, brother Benchu, why bother, the business is important!" Liu Qi said.

And Xun Yu, who was standing next to Cao Cao, saw a glimmer of light in Liu Qi's eyes, but did not attract the attention of others, and then returned to his original appearance.

"Haha, that's right, if the matter is not serious, I will come to meet again, and now I will leave first!" Cao Cao laughed.

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Xun Yu bowed their hands to Liu Qi and walked out of the hall.

Liu Qi looked at the backs of the three of them, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: Is it serious?That's impossible, he might be busy in the future, and whether he can remember to ask him to drink is a problem.

Immediately, he led Cai Yan to the outside of the main hall, left the palace with Cai Yong who was waiting outside the main hall, and went back in a carriage.

Among Cai Fu.

After Liu Qi left the palace, on the way back, he decided on one thing, that is to persuade Cai Yong to leave Luoyang. Lingdi's illness may directly cause a chain reaction, and the vortex in Luoyang will start to operate. Come to think of it, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, so leaving is the best choice.

After instructing Dian Wei to go back to the place where he lived temporarily, he followed Cai Yong into the hall of Cai Mansion, frowning all the way.

In the hall, Cai Yan personally brewed two cups of tea for Liu Qi and Cai Yong, and then retreated. She also felt that Liu Qi had been absent-minded after hearing that Emperor Ling was ill. Knowing that Liu Qi must have something to discuss with her father Cai Yong, she left the hall very sensible.

"Qi'er, is there anything you want to discuss with me?" Cai Yong said after taking a sip of his tea.

Seeing his daughter's performance and Liu Qi's demeanor, he could guess what was going on. He had never seen Liu Qi like this since he knew Liu Qi.

Liu Qi nodded, did not deny it, calmed down for a while, and said: "My son-in-law wants to ask his father-in-law to leave Luoyang, and he will send someone to escort him all the way!"

Hearing this, Cai Yong knew that Liu Qi wanted him and Cai Yan to leave, and Liu Qi himself did not intend to leave, or else he would personally escort him instead of sending someone to escort him, but he couldn't understand why Liu Qi would persuade him to leave at this time .

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, he thought of the news at the banquet, took a serious look at Liu Qi, and said, "Why?"

"Didn't your father-in-law think about it?" Liu Qi also noticed Cai Yong's expression, and continued: "My father-in-law should still remember that my son-in-law said that the reason why eunuchs and gentry officials can be stable is because His Majesty has always been in the middle to mediate , but now His Majesty..."

Liu Qi didn't continue talking, he knew that Cai Yong would understand what he said, but he didn't expect that Emperor Ling would fall ill at this time, and now it's only January of the sixth year of Zhongping, not even February .

According to what he knew, the Ling Emperor should have had an accident in April, but now it is three months earlier. Although he doesn't know why, he still needs to make corresponding preparations.

Cai Yong was originally holding a teacup, but when he heard Liu Qi's words, his eyes widened in horror, his hand shook, and the teacup fell directly to the ground, smashed to pieces, and the tea splashed everywhere.

He knew that Liu Qi had always been ambitious, but he didn't know Liu Qi's purpose. Now that Liu Qi opened his mouth, it was not long before the fate of the Cursing Emperor. How could he not be surprised? He also thought why Liu Qi refused to enter the dynasty Officials, who have great ambitions but seem to be doing nothing, are not seeking one official position, nor one state or one place, but the entire country of the Han Dynasty.

"You...!" Cai Yong pointed at Liu Qi with trembling fingers, but couldn't continue.

"Father-in-law, why should you be surprised? You must know that princes and generals are kind. Now that the big man is corrupt, the eunuchs are in power, the gentry is in power, and the Lingdi is incompetent. This will happen sooner or later. The officials will definitely be ready to move, then Luoyang will fall into chaos, and staying in Luoyang may be life-threatening, and my son-in-law begged my father-in-law to leave Luoyang!" Liu Qi said seriously.

"Ah!" Cai Yong sighed, and recovered from his surprise, he said, "All of this is just your guesswork. If your majesty just catches the wind and cold occasionally, it will be fine? If you fall into it at this time, you will definitely There will be disasters, don't forget your identity!"

"That's wrong. If Emperor Ling was just caught in the wind and cold by chance, he would not send someone to report after the banquet time, but would have someone announce it outside the palace gate early in the morning. It must be a sudden incident, and No matter what, the gentry officials will not let go of this opportunity, get rid of the eunuch, the grievances between the two parties have survived for a long time!"

Liu Qi paused, stood up from the chair, straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, and said sharply, "My son-in-law said that the moment my son-in-law left Jingzhou, the only thing I want people in the world to remember is my name, Liu Qi. , not Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi, this identity is just a burden to me!"

At this time, Liu Qi's image is full of domineering.

The overlord is in the past after all, but don't you just want to be the overlord now!Cai Yong looked at Liu Qi, and suddenly this thought came to his mind.

"And my son-in-law doesn't intend to get caught up in the whirlpool in Luoyang. It's not the best time yet. I just need to be a spectator. After all, I don't have any roots in Luoyang. The only thing I worry about is my father-in-law. It's just with Yan'er!" Liu Qi finally said.
