I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

"Report, lord, emperor...the emperor died..."

"What? The emperor died?"

Liu Zhe raised his glass, and before he had finished drinking this glass of wine, he heard such shocking news in the world.

"When did it happen?" Liu Zhe came back to his senses and asked quickly.

Because this sudden news also caused the whole banquet to fall into silence, and everyone was shocked by this news.

"Luoyang is going to be in chaos." Xun You, a former official in Luoyang, said to himself.

The person who reported the letter hurriedly replied: "A half month ago, after the Luoyang Caravan Branch got the news, it immediately dispatched people to hurry up in Xingye to bring the news back."

"It's hard work." Liu Zhe said, waving his hand to let him go down.

Liu Zhe was silent for a moment, glanced at his subordinates, and said softly, "This is the end of tonight's banquet. Go back first, and come to the meeting tomorrow."

"Here!" The subordinates did not dare to object, so they all withdrew.

"Ugh!"

Liu Zhe stood up, looked at the empty yard, and couldn't help sighing in his heart!

The emperor died at this time, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. Liu Zhe had a feeling that the storm was about to come, this feeling was like when he first encountered the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

After Liu Zhe returned to the backyard, he did not go back to the room immediately, but sat under the gazebo by himself.

The world commented that Liu Hong was reckless, incompetent, addicted to wine, and corrupted by extravagance.

In fact, Liu Hong, as the world said, favored eunuchs, enforced party restraints, set up Xiyuan, cleverly established names to search for money, and sold officials and lords.The people all over the world became angry, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out continuously, Zhang Chun Zhang Ju rebelled in Youzhou, Xingzhuo in Changsha District, Beigong Boyu rebellion in Liangzhou, and even beacon fires in the world.

But Liu Zhe had met Liu Hong. During the short meeting with Liu Hong, Liu Hong gave Liu Zhe a sense of invisibility.He entrusted his two sons to Liu Zhe, but he did not allow Liu Zhe to stay in Luoyang, and ordered him to go to Youzhou.Liu Zhe thinks about it now, and seems to think that Liu Hong was asking for the orphan at the time. Did he guess that today is there?

But Liu Zhe also knew that Liu Hong's death was inevitable, otherwise there would be no so-called Three Kingdoms hegemony!

"Husband, it's late at night, be careful of catching a cold."

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded behind Liu Zhe, and at the same time a piece of clothing was draped over Liu Zhe. It turned out that Cai Yan came out of the room.

"Madam, why did you come out? It's cold outside, be careful to freeze your body." Liu Zhe hurriedly put his clothes on Cai Yan's body.

Liu Zhe and Cai Yan have been married for three years. The husband and wife are very affectionate. Cai Yan is knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and considerate, so Liu Zhe directly calls him a good wife.

Seeing her beautiful face at this moment, the originally irritable mood has become calm! .

However, it is a bit regrettable that because there have been too many things in Youzhou in the past three years, Liu Zhe rarely stays at home, so Cai Yan has not yet conceived a child.

"Husband, what happened?" Cai Yan asked worriedly. She seldom saw Liu Zhe sitting here alone and thinking. Here, he must have encountered something troublesome!

"It's okay, let's go back to the room and go to bed." Liu Zhe took the more and more beautiful Cai Yan back to the room, he didn't want Cai Yan to worry.

Vertical sun!

Important people in Youzhou gathered together, because Xiaoxingzhuang Zhuangzi was too young, so Liu Zhe had a council rebuilt a long time ago, and Xiaoxingzhuang meetings were all held here.

Everyone gathered early in the morning because of the news that shocked the world last night - the death of the emperor.

After Liu Zhe appeared, he didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the topic, and said: "The emperor has passed away, tell me what you think now."

Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "My lord, we are far away in Youzhou, and the turmoil of the emperor's death should not affect us. This is the advantage of being far away from the imperial court. As for Luoyang, it is different."

Liu Zhe glanced at Xun You and asked, "Gongda, you have been in Luoyang for the longest time. Tell me about the situation in Luoyang."

Xun You, courtesy name Gongda, command 70, force 25, intelligence 95, politics 88, charm 87.

Xun You was seven years older than Xun Yu, but he was Xun Yu's nephew. He had been serving as Huangmen's servant in Luoyang before, but after listening to Xun Yu's words, he gave up his office and went to Liu Zhe. learn.

Xun You stood up and said in a positive tone, "My lord, there will be chaos in Luoyang."

Liu Zhe asked, "Why do you see it?"

Xun You did not answer directly, but asked: "The emperor has passed away, who does the lord think should inherit the throne?"

"Why don't you ask? Naturally, it's the First Prince." Tibetan Ba ​​jumped out to brush his presence.

"That's right, it should be the First Prince." Others agreed with Tibetan Ba's words.

"What do you think, my lord?" Xun You asked Liu Zhe.

"As the eldest son, the eldest prince will naturally succeed the eldest prince." Liu Zhe said.

Xun You said: "The emperor died, and the eldest prince, as the eldest son, should inherit the throne. But according to what You heard, the emperor did not like the eldest prince, but liked the sensible and well-behaved second prince Liu Xie."

Liu Zhe nodded without a trace, Liu Xie was indeed much more sensible than Liu Bian, smarter and more likable than Liu Bianyuan.

At this time, Xun You talked eloquently: "The second prince was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, and the Empress Dowager Dong always liked the second prince, not the eldest prince, and it was rumored that she hated Empress He. Empress Dowager Dong was the emperor's biological mother. After the emperor died, if Dong Does the empress dowager insist on making the second prince the emperor?"

"And the eldest prince is the mother of Empress He, the nephew of the great general He Jin, and the eldest son, so naturally he will not agree to let the second prince succeed the throne!"

"So, You thinks that Luoyang will be in chaos. The first prince has the support of the general, and the second prince has the support of the Empress Dowager Dong, so they will fight for the throne."

Liu Zhe nodded, since the past dynasties, every time the battle for the throne would flow into rivers of blood, chaos was normal.

At the same time, Liu Zhe's heart moved. Before Liu Hong asked him to take care of his two sons, did Liu Hong already expect this at that time?It seems that no one who can become an emperor is easy!

"My lord, I suggest that if we don't get involved in the battle for the throne, we can just pretend that nothing happened!" After Xun You finished speaking, he suggested to Liu Zhe.
