Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 884 Divide the troops into half and Liu Peng
"Empress Empress, Your Majesty has issued an imperial decree to appoint the crown prince Liu Rui as the crown prince and let the crown prince live in the second prince's residence!"

A few hours after Liu Wei came down to court, news spread that Liu Rui was made the prince of the Northern Han Dynasty. Rao Cai Wenji knew about the news even though she was not involved in foreign affairs.

"Liu Ziyan, you are trying to piss me off. I told you that you are not allowed to make Rui'er the crown prince, and you want to fight against me!"

Cai Wenji picked up the Buddhist beads again, flipped through the Buddhist books, and wanted to recite a section of Buddhist scriptures, but her mind was already in a mess, how could she continue reading.

"Ugh!"

Cai Wenji put down the beads, stood up from the cloth mat, and asked the maid, "Where is that idiot Liu Ziyan, take me there!"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor should be reviewing the memorial at this hour. Will we disturb the Emperor now?"

Cai Wenji's maid asked cautiously.

"I don't care what he is doing, he must give me an explanation for this matter!"

Cai Wenji was already furious in her heart. After Liu An died, the crown prince was peeped by the princes. The princes fought openly and secretly for the crown prince. Liu Wei actually pushed Liu Rui to the top of the storm.

In Cai Wenji's view, Liu Wei is not helping Liu Rui, but harming Liu Rui.

Cai Wenji hurried to Liu Wei's study with her maid, and sure enough, Liu Wei was reviewing the memorial wholeheartedly.

"Liu Ziyan!"

As soon as Cai Wenji entered the room, she yelled and walked up to Liu Wei, startling Liu Wei.

Looking up and seeing Cai Wenji coming, Liu Wei didn't look surprised, but said calmly, "You're here, sit down!"

Liu Wei had long expected that Cai Wenji would come to find him, so he put down the memorial in his hand, turned around, and let Cai Wenji sit down.

Cai Wenji had no intention of sitting down at all, pinched her waist with both hands, and asked sharply: "Liu Ziyan, what do you mean, I told you last night that Rui'er cannot be the crown prince, but you issued an imperial decree in a blink of an eye to make Rui'er the crown prince." Prince, what are you doing? Get angry with me?"

"I did this for the sake of the overall situation, not what you think!"

Liu Wei explained.

"It's not what I thought? You Liu Ziyan has more than a dozen sons, you don't make them the prince, you make my little grandson the prince!"

When Liu Rui becomes the crown prince, he will be able to inherit the throne in the future. Logically speaking, Cai Wenji should be happy, but Liu An's death is a lesson from the past. Cai Wenji is afraid, and she is afraid that something will happen to her grandson again.

"Yan'er, sit down first, and let me explain to you slowly!"

Liu Wei supported Cai Wenji's shoulders, pushed Cai Wenji onto the chair, poured Cai Wenji a cup of tea, and said, "You said I have many sons, it's true, but look at their virtues, one by one Not to mention being addicted to drinking and sex, and no one has made any political achievements. After a few years I die, can I rest assured that I will hand over the big man to their hands? Ruier was smart, sensitive and studious since she was a child. Cultivate, Rui'er's ability is definitely not inferior to An'er!"

Cai Wenji sneered: "It's too young, but it may not be too old!"

Liu Wei smiled knowingly: "Are you afraid that Rui'er will lose all sentient beings in the future and won't be able to keep this position?"

"What do you think? Your sons are all grown-ups. Although they haven't shown much ambition these years, they have cultivated their own power and have supporters in the court. Rui'er is still a child. How many years can you live? When you die, Rui Er will only be so old, how can he beat his uncles! At that time, it doesn't matter if you lose the throne, I am afraid of your "good sons" Kill Rui'er!"

Cai Wenji said worriedly.

Liu Wei laughed loudly: "You don't have to worry about that. If my sons had such abilities, I wouldn't pass the throne to Ruier. Besides, you know why I let Ruier go to Penger Mansion live up there?"

"why?"

"It's just to cultivate the relationship between Rui'er and Peng'er. Peng'er has no ambitions and doesn't want to be an emperor. When An'er was alive, he and Peng'er had the best relationship. Now that An'er is dead, Rui'er is An'er's only flesh and blood. , Peng'er will treat Rui'er as his own child!"

Liu Wei explained with a smile.

Although what Liu Wei said was reasonable, Cai Wenji still didn't want to admit Liu Wei's point of view, and snorted coldly: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing the heart! Who knows what Liu Peng is thinking!"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. As soon as Cai Wenji’s words came out, Liu Wei’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Cai Wenji in shock. After a long while, Liu Wei said: “You are right, then I will observe Peng’er for a while, and then do it again.” Intend!"

Cai Wenji didn't expect Liu Wei to take back her life when she came here today. After all, Liu Wei is the emperor and cannot change his orders overnight. She came here to remind Liu Wei that since Liu Rui became the prince, she must help Liu Rui pave the way.

"You go back first, I have to think about it carefully!"

Liu Wei asked Cai Wenji to go first, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally made a decision to test Liu Peng's mind.

In the early morning of the next day, after the discussion, Liu Wei did not directly order to retreat, but bowed his head in meditation. Finally, after coughing twice, Liu Wei said: "Everyone, although I have a good appetite these days, my body has recovered a lot. , but I'm nearly sixty years old now, and my body is getting worse day by day, and I feel a little unwell these days...!"

Before Liu Wei finished speaking, Xu You jumped out to flatter him: "Your Majesty, you are a body of gold, you must take care of your dragon body!"

"I know!"

For this sycophant who had just been transferred back, Liu Wei had already lost his favor and waved him aside.

Then Liu Wei said: "Everyone, for the sake of the overall situation, I have decided to hand over half of the troops to Liu Peng!"

As soon as Liu Wei raised his hand, the little eunuch behind him came over holding a tray with several tiger charms on it.

Liu Wei took the tray and said to Liu Peng, "Liu Peng, are you willing to share my worries?"

Liu Peng hastily shied away: "Father, I don't want it. You are not in good health. You just need to seek treatment from the imperial physician. Why do you give me the soldiers and horses!"

"Why are you so stupid, the imperial physician can cure illnesses, but he can't renew my life, take the tiger talisman quickly!"

Liu Wei asked the eunuch to walk in front of Liu Peng with the tray.

"I do not want!"

Liu Peng didn't pick it up at all.

This made Liu Li and Liu Fei beside Liu Peng very anxious, and they kept calling Liu Peng an idiot in their hearts.

What is this tiger talisman? It represents power, and it represents soldiers and horses. With half of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Han Dynasty, whoever owns the Northern Han Dynasty.

Finally Liu Li couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said to Liu Wei: "Father, I am willing to share my father's worries, so I will leave this tiger amulet to my son for safekeeping!"
