Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40 Prelude to the Storm
Liu Qi's weird smile at the end did not attract the attention of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Xun Yu.

In the end, Liu Qi didn't say anything more, just looking for something to talk about casually, and didn't continue talking about it.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Xun Yu saw that Liu Qi didn't want to talk more and got what he wanted, so they didn't intend to stay any longer, and stood up one after another, ready to say goodbye and leave.

Liu Qi didn't hold back either, and got up to personally send the three of them out of the door.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Xun Yu got out of the courtyard, got on their horses, bowed their hands to Liu Qi on the horse's back, and said in unison: "Farewell!"

"Please!" Liu Qi bowed his hands politely.

"Drive~~!"

The three of them waved their whips and threw them on the horse's buttocks. The horse hurt, so they walked forward, slowly stepping on the street, gradually moving away from the mansion where Liu Qi lived.

"Lord!"

At this time, Dian Wei also came out and stood behind Liu Qi.

"Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates! What a pity!" Liu Qi shook his head and sighed.

He didn't remind the three of Cao Cao that if he had the chance, he would kill them all, because he was also selfish. He did such a thing and endured it for two years. He was waiting for a prosperous age when the princes were divided. With so many reminders, being able to say something is already very worthy of my conscience.

And if they can understand, then the future trend is in their hands, whether to follow the general trend or change the general trend, all in one thought.

"One thought of life, one thought of death; the road has already been established, it depends on how people walk, whether it is to start the era of princes, or to be respected by the great man; if I rise from it, I will fight for the great man; I really have some expectations!" Liu Qi put his hands behind his back , looked up at the a little sleepy sky, his eyes burst into light, and there was a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, what about us?" Dian Wei asked.

Although he didn't know the meaning of Liu Qi's words, but looking at Liu Qi's appearance, he also knew that this incident would affect the future trend of the world. He also understood that this was the opportunity Liu Qi had been waiting for, and his heart was full of enthusiasm. As a general, why doesn't he want to gallop on the battlefield!

Hearing Dian Wei's question, Liu Qi also recovered, calmed down his thoughts, and said: "Pack up your luggage, leave one person behind to hide in Luoyang to inquire about the news, leave Luoyang in the afternoon, and go straight to Chenliu!"

"No!" Dian Wei Gong said.

"The sky is gloomy and the clouds are rising. It's the prelude to the coming storm!" Liu Qi murmured.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back to the courtyard.

This is the weather that wants to rain, how come it comes from Liu Qi, it feels different, Dian Wei can't figure it out, shakes his head, doesn't think about it anymore, walks back behind him, and closes the door the door.

in the palace.

In a large hall, there were ten people gathered together, all of them were frowning, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

"Everyone, you should know why I gathered you here!" A man with a monkey face broke the oppressive atmosphere with his duck-like voice.

With this appearance, if someone familiar is here, one can recognize that the person who spoke is none other than the eunuch Zhang Rang, one of the ten permanent servants who was guarding outside the door of Emperor Ling's bedroom.

The remaining nine people, who can be with Zhang Rang, don't need to guess, they can all be known as nine of the ten permanent attendants, Zhao Zhong, Feng Xuan, Duan Gui, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun , Guo Sheng.

In this hall, it is the source of the source of the troubles rumored by the outside world - the ten permanent servants, and now the ten permanent servants are secretly gathering together, and they are smart enough to know that nothing good will happen.

"Zhang Rang, do you think they will take this opportunity to attack us?" Zhao Zhong frowned.

The rest of the people also frowned and looked at Zhang Rang.

"No, if they had done it yesterday, none of us would have survived, but now they won't do it at this time, otherwise they would be the ones who died, not us!" Zhang Rang shook his head.

"Since that's the case, why should we worry?" Guo Sheng said.

Zhao Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "Although you think they won't do it right away, they will still look for opportunities?"

"That's right, and they just need to wait, without any action, and we must be the ones who will die in the end." Zhang Rang looked around and continued: "Don't forget, your Majesty has not appointed a crown prince yet, and His Majesty's The illness can only last for a month, once your majesty..., according to the law of the great man, then the eldest son, Prince Bian, will inherit the throne, and I don't need to say more about the rest!"

Hearing this, the rest of the people showed expressions of fear. After all, what Zhang Rang said was not wrong. Who is Wang Zibian? Empress He's own son, He Jin's nephew. Only by supporting him can he sit on the position of general.

And if Wang Zibian inherits the rule, their end will be——death!

"Then, what should I do?" Duan Gui said in a panic.

"Zhang Rang, you should have some countermeasures?" Guo Sheng asked.

The rest of the people also looked at Zhang Rang. This is a matter of their lives. With such great power, no one wants to live.

"This is why I asked you to come here. As long as His Majesty is still alive, they will not dare to act rashly. Unless they have an excuse, we will still be very safe during this month. During this time, We have to prepare with both hands!" Zhang Rang was at the critical moment, and his head was spinning rapidly.

"First, make friends with Queen Mother Dong, and persuade Your Majesty to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. You must know that the Empress Dowager Dong loves Prince Xie and dislikes Wang Zibian. If we can succeed, we can save our lives. Those officials will have nothing to do with us anymore. !"

"Secondly, make good friends with Empress He. If the plan fails, then we still have a place to seek refuge. As long as we don't die, then we still have a chance to stand up!"

Zhang Rang said in one breath the strategy he had been thinking about all night.

The rest of the people also pondered, Zhang Rang's method is to make good relations between the two sides. If Wang Zixie inherits the Datong and has the support of Queen Mother Dong, then they will have no scruples in their future lives; Good Queen He, you can save your life, but you have to be patient and wait for the opportunity to fight back.

"I'll second it!" The nine people agreed with Zhang Rang's method without hesitation.

"When will we act?" Zhao Zhong asked.

"It's not too late to avoid long nights and dreams. We will start today, and we still have a little friendship with Empress He, and we can also be in case. After all, we gathered in secret today. If they know, they will definitely be on guard. Want to If it succeeds, it will be even more difficult!" Zhang Rang said firmly.

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement. They knew that those officials also had eyeliners in the palace, and now they could only act first when the officials were afraid to do so.

"Then let's begin!" Zhang Rang said.
