Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 160 Peace?nonexistent

When Liu Gan arrived at the court, everyone had been waiting for a long time.

The little emperor Liu Xiegao sat on the throne, and the civil and military officials on the left and right, headed by Zhang Zhao and Zhou Tai, lined up and formed a long dragon.

Everyone's expressions were serious and unsmiling.

For a while, the atmosphere was quite serious.

As soon as Liu Gan entered the hall, his eyes fell on a strange middle-aged man. He was dressed in brocade clothes, with a thin figure and a kind appearance. He had a beautiful beard on his chin. He looked quite refined. wind.

This person is undoubtedly Yan Xiang.

After a while of introductions and greetings, Yan Xiang made it clear that he came to discuss peace between the two families.

There were many people who agreed to negotiate a peace. After all, the Jiujiang War was a waste of people and money, and Yuan Shu had far more troops than Liu Gan. It would be of no benefit to anyone if the fight continued like this.

Almost all the conservatives headed by Zhang Zhao agreed to strike and truce.

Zhou Tai is an exception. He has always been a main fighter. There is a saying "If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to expose the tiles." It is really appropriate to describe him.

If you don't fight for three days, Zhou Tai will be able to show you "on the roof".

Everyone expressed their views, but Liu Gan remained silent.

At this time, Liu Gan stood aside, as if he had become an outsider, with a leisurely attitude that had nothing to do with him, as if what happened today had nothing to do with him at all.

"I don't know what King Ming thinks about this peace negotiation?"

Liu Xie looked at Liu Gan and asked loudly.

Liu Xie has always cared about Liu Gan's attitude. If Liu Gan didn't express his position, Liu Xie would not make decisions easily, especially on military issues.

Yan Xiang also set his sights on Liu Gan. Although Liu Xie was the emperor, the 14-year-old emperor obviously didn't have the right to make decisions.

"I don't think much about it." Liu Gan shrugged and said lightly: "Your Majesty can decide on this matter. If there is nothing else, this king will take his leave first."

After finishing speaking, Liu Gan cupped his hands and actually turned around and slipped away.

Yan Xiang stared at Liu Gan's disappearing figure, and stood there dumbfounded, speechless.

This is Jiangdong Liu Wushuang who is widely rumored in the world?
Such a child's play!

So casual!

Yan Xiang couldn't believe his eyes, but everything was in front of him, making it impossible to question.

In fact, not only Yan Xiang couldn't believe it, but many people couldn't believe it, including the little emperor Liu Xie.

When Liu Xie first arrived in Lujiang, Liu Gan had a lot of disrespect for Liu Xie. This made Liu Xie think that he had just stepped out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den. Puppet Emperor.

However, Liu Gan's initiative to decentralize power later greatly stimulated Liu Xie.

Liu Gan entrusted the full power of civil affairs to Zhang Zhao on the grounds that the Son of Heaven was too young to be in power, while Liu Gan himself only asked about military affairs and nothing else.

This looks like a loyal minister of the humerus.

On weekdays, Liu Gan has no restrictions or restrictions on Liu Xie's private life, except not to leave Shucheng, where Liu Xie loves to go, of course, there must be someone to protect him, which is also reasonable.

Later, Liu Gan did not participate in many important decisions, and completely entrusted Zhang Zhao and Liu Xie to discuss and deal with them on their own. With an attitude of indifference and decentralization, Liu Xie was so moved that he almost cried several times.

Liu Xie even began to fantasize about the day when he became an adult, maybe the power will be in his own hands one day.

Therefore, Liu Xie respected Liu Gan very much, and when he came down from the court, he called Liu Gan the emperor's uncle in private.

Going to Liu Gan's mansion for dinner is only going there every three to five times, as common as everyday food.

The only fly in the ointment was that Xiao Qiao, who Liu Xie wanted to see so much, never appeared again. It seems that Xiao Qiao was captured by Yuan Shu's men.

Hmph, this Yuan Shu is so courageous, he captured Xiao Qiao, how dare he come here to talk about peace!
Thinking of this, Liu Xie was furious immediately, and said coldly, "Unless Yuan Shu withdraws from Yangzhou, there will be no peace talks!"

Yan Xiang didn't know why Liu Xie was suddenly angry, but with such harsh conditions, it was clear that it was unlikely that the peace talks would be easy.

Yan Xiang spent all his time talking and talking in front of Liu Xie, but in the end not only failed to agree, but was severely scolded out of the court by Liu Xie.

After leaving the court, Yan Xiang thought that the mission of this envoy would end in failure. When he sighed, he was suddenly pulled into a carriage. None of Yan Xiang's actions were voluntary.

Yan Xiang was blindfolded by the black cloth and lost his vision. When he regained the light again, he had already come to a strange place.

"What is this place? What do you want to do?"

Yan Xiang didn't panic or be timid, and calmly asked the stranger in front of him.

No one answered Yan Xiang's question. These people were like deaf-mute people, and they turned a deaf ear to everything Yan Xiang said.

After a long time, Yan Xiang gave up on asking. He was parched and suffering from hunger and cold. Fortunately, these people did not treat him badly. Not only did they not tie him up, but they also gave him delicious food and a coat to keep out the cold. , good food and drink.

After Yan Xiang had eaten and drank enough, the mastermind who sent someone to arrest him came quietly.

"Mr. Zifei has a good appetite, so he finished all the food."

When Liu Gan appeared in front of Yan Xiang, his face was not surprised, but very calm, as if he had expected it.

Liu Gan couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "Mr. Zifei knows it's me?"

Yan Xiang snorted softly, and said coldly: "In Yangzhou, except you, Liu Wushuang, who would dare to oppose Yuan Gong?"

Liu Gan clapped his palms and said with a smile: "That's right. Since Mr. Zifei guessed it was me, do you know why I invited Mr. Zifei here?"

Yan Xiang said coldly: "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go if you have to fart."

Liu Gan was not annoyed, he said calmly, "I want to ask you to abandon Yuan to help Liu, and come under my command to work for me."

Yan Xiang laughed out loud, Liu Gan's expression remained unchanged, his eyes met, Yan Xiang spoke first: "Are all Liu Wushuang's subordinates recruited by kidnapping? Today, I really gained my knowledge."

Liu Gan suddenly bowed and saluted, and said seriously: "It's a last resort. I hope you don't take it to heart. I really value your talent. If you help me, Yuan Shu will be destroyed."

Yan Xiang snorted coldly: "Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not served two masters, so you should give up on that."

Liu Gan sighed lightly, and said earnestly: "This son of Yuan Shu has perverted the law and extorted violently. The people under his rule have already suffered unspeakably. What is ridiculous is that this son thinks he holds a jade seal, so he wants to call himself a widow. It is not against the law to do that. In the past, from Houji to King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty, they accumulated virtues and merits, and they were divided into two thirds of the world. They still served Yin. Although the Han Dynasty is small today, it is not as violent as Yin and Zhou. Moreover, Yuan Shu is so different from King Wen. far?"

"Yuan Shu is definitely not a virtuous lord. The so-called good birds choose trees to live in. Mr. is so talented, can't you see through the joints? After all, even if Mr. is not thinking about himself, he should also think about the next generation. The so-called being prepared for danger in times of peace, once Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, his reputation will be stinky, and his sons and grandchildren will bear the reputation of traitors and rebellious sons, and be reviled from generation to generation. Is this what the husband wants to see? "

Yan Xiang remained silent, his expression gloomy.

"Mr., if you can't figure it out for a while, you can think about it slowly. We all have time, but Yuan Shu may not have much time." Liu Gan smiled slightly, his eyes were like a torch: "Thinking to be emperor in vain is really asking for death."
