Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 886 Why Don't You Kneel

"Your Highness, according to reliable information, more than a dozen princes went to the military camp outside the city to win the support of the generals in the army!"

At the mansion of the second prince Liu Peng, Liu Peng's confidants reported the news to Liu Peng.

Liu Peng smiled slightly: "I have the Tiger Talisman in my hand, so who can mobilize the troops? In addition, all the military commanders in the court have not expressed their views. They can't mobilize the troops outside the city!"

"But Your Highness, if the guards outside the city are bewitched by these princes, or these princes threaten and lure them, and follow them to rebel, we have to guard against it!"

Liu Peng's confidant said worriedly.

Liu Peng pondered for a long time, and felt that what his confidant said made sense, but also felt that the soldiers and horses outside the city were dispatched by the various army commanders, and they should not do anything out of the ordinary, so he said, "Probably not!"

But Liu Peng didn't have any confidence when he said this.

"This subordinate thinks His Highness has to guard against it!"

"Well... okay, I'll go find the prince right away, and use the prince's name to order that the soldiers and horses outside the city not move rashly!"

Liu Peng said.

"Your Highness, why don't you use the Tiger Talisman to mobilize troops and horses?"

"No, unless there is a war, I will not use the tiger talisman to mobilize troops. The emperor gave me the tiger talisman to guard against foreign enemies. Without foreign enemies, soldiers and horses cannot be mobilized without permission!"

Liu Peng rejected the proposal of his confidant.

Then Liu Peng went to look for Liu Rui.

At this time, Liu Rui was studying with the teacher.

"Zi said, to learn and to practice from time to time, is it not the same as saying...!"

"Zi said, learning and practicing it from time to time, is it not the same as saying!"

The teacher read a sentence, and Liu Rui followed.

"Sir, excuse me!"

Liu Peng pushed open the door and bowed to Liu Rui's teacher first.

"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Second Prince, please come in quickly!"

Liu Rui's teacher put down the bamboo slips and invited Liu Peng in.

Liu Peng walked up to Liu Rui and bowed to salute: "Prince!"

Liu Peng's actions made Liu Rui a little at a loss, and asked, "What's wrong with Second Uncle? What's the matter!"

"His Royal Highness, there are people with ulterior motives who are bewitching people in the barracks outside the city. I want to ask the Crown Prince to issue an order to appease the hearts of the soldiers!"

Liu Peng asked.

"Why is Second Uncle talking to me like that? I'm still young, so Second Uncle can just do whatever he wants!"

Liu Rui replied.

But Liu Peng said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished. I dare not do things in the name of the prince. If the prince is not willing to do this, I will definitely not do it!"

Liu Rui replied innocently: "I know Second Uncle treats me well and won't harm me, so whatever Second Uncle wants to do, just do it!"

"Here!"

Liu Pengyou saluted Liu Rui, and then said: "I hope the crown prince will lend me your token!"

Liu Rui reached out and untied his token from his waist, and handed it to Liu Peng.

Liu Peng turned around and left quickly.

After Liu Peng left, Liu Rui looked at the teacher puzzled and asked, "Teacher, why is Second Uncle so polite to me? I can't get used to it!"

Liu Rui's teacher said with emotion: "Your Highness, your second uncle is helping you. I can tell that your second uncle really wants to help you ascend the throne!"

Liu Rui was young and didn't understand what the teacher meant, but he knew that his second uncle was kind to him, but he didn't like the way his second uncle treated him respectfully, he looked so unfamiliar.

Seeing that Liu Rui was distracted, the teacher knocked on the table and said, "His Royal Highness, your second uncle will help you with many things. The prince only needs to study with peace of mind!"

"Yes!"

Liu Rui picked up the bamboo slips again and studied with the teacher.

Neither Liu Peng nor Liu Rui nor Liu Rui's teacher knew that there was a pair of eyes staring at Liu Peng's far away back in the distance, and there was affection in those eyes.

Besides, Liu Peng, after getting the token, ordered a team of soldiers and horses, stepped on the horses, whipped the horses, and went straight to the barracks outside the city.

At the same time, in the barracks of the army stationed in the south of the capital, more than a dozen princes stood on high places, and the ground was full of division commanders and regimental commanders.

A prince shouted: "Brothers, everyone should know the news of my father's serious illness. The purpose of gathering everyone here today is to prevent you from taking detours. We will lead you to promotion and fortune!"

After the prince finished speaking, another prince immediately echoed: "Yes, this big man is about to change, but it's still unknown who will win. I hope you don't stand on the wrong team!"

"That's right, that's right, would you like to see a little boy become the emperor? He knows nothing, and others can confuse him with just a few words. It’s useless, are you willing to see the country you have worked so hard to ruin in the hands of a little kid? Huh?”

These princes are belittling Liu Rui and exalting themselves with every word they say.

The generals in the middle and middle ranks of the army below seemed a little shaken by what they said, and they also started whispering below.

Seeing that what he said was effective, the prince above decided to add fire to make them firmly follow his determination.

As soon as a prince was about to speak, he saw a commotion among the generals below, and they gave way from the middle.

I saw Liu Peng took the lead, walked up to the crowd, and looked at them.

Some princes whispered, "Why is Second Brother here?"

"Yeah, it's not a good thing that he's here!"

I saw Liu Peng scanned the princes with sharp eyes, and then held up the token and shouted: "Here is the token of the prince. Seeing the token of the prince is like seeing the prince himself. Hurry up and kneel down!"

"Whoa!"

All the generals beside Liu Peng knelt on one knee, while the faces of the princes on the high platform turned green.

"Seventh Brother, Mynah, shall we kneel or not?"

Some princes felt chills on their backs and trembling legs when they were stared at by Liu Peng's cold eyes, so they could only ask the seventh and eighth princes in a low voice.

The seventh prince and the eighth prince wished to tear Liu Peng apart. Seeing that they were about to win the generals of the generals to their subordinates, Liu Peng came at this time, and he still came with the token of the prince. If they knelt It means that they have given in to the prince, and all their previous efforts will be in vain.But if he doesn't kneel, God knows what Liu Peng, a lunatic, can do.

The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't kneel, we won't kneel. I don't believe he dares to do anything to us!"

As soon as the Seventh Prince finished speaking, he heard Liu Peng reprimanded sharply: "You guys, why don't you kneel down when you see the Prince's token?"

The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth and said, "We are all Liu Rui's uncles according to our seniority, so we don't need to kneel down!"

"Presumptuous, I will kneel down when I see the prince, why don't you use it?"

Liu Peng's eyes were full of sharpness.
