After a night of turmoil, a red sun rose from the East.

On a cold morning, Xiangyang was under martial law.

Outside the door of the Cai family's house, the soldiers surrounded each other and sealed the Cai family to death. The news that the Cai family sent private soldiers to attack the gate of the city and surrounded the prefecture has spread in Xiangyang City.

Cai Mao took the risk to collude with Liu Cong for rebellion. This result, in the eyes of many people, is not a too incredible thing, or even a matter of course. It is well known that Cai Mao supported Liu Cong.

After all, Liu Xiu was the only one in the world to beat Liu Cong.

In order to ensure their interests, it is possible for Liu Cong and Cai Mao to join hands to revolt.

But Jingzhou officials, more or less, feel that something is wrong. Because the gate of Sifang city is now under martial law and no one is allowed to enter or leave. This kind of blockade is very harsh. It doesn't look like the result of pacifying the rebellion at all.

In addition, there are soldiers patrolling in Xiangyang City, which is even more unusual.

The officials of Jingzhou got the order early in the morning and went to the prefecture for discussion.

Everyone, on the way to the prefecture.

At the gate, when Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and Wen pin arrived, they caused a sensation.

An official stepped forward, stood beside Yiji, bowed his hand, and said tentatively, "Mr. Jibo, what's the big deal today? How come all the people are here?"

"Mr. Yidu, what's the news from the prefecture?"

Another official looked at Kuai Yue and asked him tentatively.

As for the generals, Zhang Yun stood in the crowd, nervous. Zhang Yun and Cai Mao are very close to each other. It's said that Cai Mao led private soldiers to attack Sifang city gate last night, and besieged the prefecture. Zhang Yun was shocked. In particular, Zhang Yun sent people to the prefecture to inquire about the news last night. Unfortunately, the Prefecture was surrounded by soldiers and couldn't get in at all.

The rest of the generals looked at Wen pin and wanted to ask for information.

Unfortunately, Wen pin, Kuai Yue and Yi Ji were not moved and did not disclose the information.

All the people speculated and went to the hall.

After entering the hall and taking their seats, the crowd waited. At this time, right above the hall, Liu Biao's seat was empty. Liu Biao, Liu Xiu and Liu Cong did not appear. There was no business, and the people murmured. Especially when we see that someone has already pushed Cai Mao to the original position, we know that Cai Mao must have been taken.

After a moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Here comes Mr. Xiu!"

When the soldiers yelled, they saw Liu Xiu dressed neatly, wearing a Jinxian crown and a jade pendant around his waist, striding into the hall.

As soon as Liu Xiu appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.

"Step on it! Step on it

There was silence in the hall, and Liu Xiu went straight ahead.

When Liu Xiu went to Liu Biao's position and turned to sit down, the officials at the bottom widened their eyes one after another, with a look of surprise in their eyes.

What's going on?

How did Liu Xiu sit on the throne!

However, there is still no objection from the officials below. If Liu Xiu dares to sit on it, he will be confident. This is enough to explain why Yi Liang and Kuai Liang did not come to Wenyan.

But in the minds of the officials, they began to guess where Liu Biao had gone?

Is it getting worse?

Officials speculated and waited for Liu Xiu to speak.

Liu Xiu coughed twice, glanced over the officials in the hall, and said in a deep voice, "to call you together today is to announce something. From today on, I will take over the charge of Jingzhou and serve as the herdsman of Jingzhou. "

Brush!

In an instant, the officials below changed color.

There was a lot of discussion.

Zhang Yun had a bad relationship with Liu Xiu. After hearing Liu Xiu's words, he was the first one to stand up and say, "how dare you ask Master Xiu

In fact, Zhang Yun is a member of CAI Mao's family. Now that Cai Mao has fallen, Liu Xiu will take over Jingzhou again. Under such circumstances, once Liu Xiu takes charge of Jingzhou, he will definitely be marginalized. Therefore, he did not want Liu Xiu to take charge of Jingzhou and directly asked about Liu Biao.

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "last night, Cai Mao rebelled. His father was hurt and worried. He died of illness. In addition, Liu Cong and Cai Mao colluded in a rebellion. When the army suppressed the rebellion, the second brother died in the hands of the soldiers, and Cai Mao was also killed. "

"Before my father left, he entrusted Jingzhou to me."

Liu Xiu big sleeve a whisk, high head way: "in the future, Jingzhou will be decided by me."

In a word, it declares the ownership of Jingzhou.

When the officials heard this, they were all very surprised, and the ending was too strange. I didn't expect that the turbulence last night would have such a great impact that even Liu Cong, Cai Mao and Liu Biao died.

Zhang Yun was anxious, but he still didn't want Liu Xiu to inherit Jingzhou.

However, it is difficult to refute.

At this time, Liu Xian stood up. He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "it's well known that young master Xiu is outstanding. But since ancient times, they have all established their own laws and leaders. Liu Qi, the eldest son, should inherit Jingzhou. As long as Mr. Qi is still there, Mr. Xiu has no right to inherit Jingzhou. "As a firm heir of his eldest son, Liu Xian directly opposed it.

After all, Liu Xiu is a commoner.

Fu Xun also stepped forward. He looked at Liu Xiu and said in a loud voice, "no matter how wise and powerful he is, how outstanding his ability is. But on the issue of Jingzhou successor, we must follow the principle of eldest son succession. Xiugongzi has outstanding ability and understands reason, so please respect yourself and don't damage xiugongzi's reputation. "

After they finished, they both stared at Liu Xiu, waiting for Liu Xiu's reply.

To be sure, they all admit that Liu Xiu is powerful, but the principle concerning Jingzhou's successors cannot be broken, and they are members of Liu Qi's family.

Instead of answering immediately, Liu Xiu looked at the people in the hall and asked again, "do you have any different opinions?"

"General Wang Wei has something to say!"

Wang Wei, a burly man, stepped forward and spoke in a loud voice.

Wang Wei is a military general in the army. His military power is weaker than Wen pin's, and his official position is smaller than Wen pin's. Liu Cong won over Wang Wei.

He stepped forward, looked at Liu Xiu, and questioned: "Mr. Xiu said that Cai Mao and Mr. Cong conspired to rebel, but Cai Mao did. But what's the evidence for Cong's rebellion? There are also many doubts about the killing of Cong. "

With these words, Liu Xiu's color cooled down.

Wang Wei dares to mention Liu Cong and seek death!

Liu Xiu's eyes showed a trace of killing intention and said: "General Wang said that the second elder brother didn't revolt. Do you know how Cai Mao could revolt if he didn't ask the second elder brother's consent? General Wang, do you want to challenge my patience? "

Liu Xiu couldn't bear Wang Wei's suspicion.

Wang Wei continued: "the truth is not clear, young master Xiu, the end will only be on the matter."

Liu xiudao: "seeing that Liu Cong's rebellion is numerous, general wenpin can testify, Yi Ji can testify, and Kuai Yue can testify."

Kuai Yue said: "yes, Cai Mao colluded with Cong Gongzi."

Yi Ji nodded and said, "it's true that Cai Mao colluded with Cong Gongzi."

Wen pin then said, "I will testify that Cai Mao colluded with Liu Cong, the second son of the party. Last night, when Cai Mao attacked the gate of Sifang City, he wanted to win over the general. He said that as long as he cooperated with the general, the second son would be promoted and entrusted with important tasks. Even the soldiers in the army know about it and can check it out. "

After a pause, Wen pin said: "when the general led his troops to the prefecture, the second young master and Cai Mao's soldiers were besieging the Lord. Fortunately, young master Xiu spared no effort to protect the Lord, so he didn't let him be killed on the spot. Rao is so, Lord or... "

Liu Xiu answered and said in a deep voice, "General Wang, do you think wenpin's words are reliable?"

Wang Wei's eyebrows were a little more dignified and said: "reliable!"

With a sigh, Wang Wei stopped talking.

I thought that I wanted to get a clear statement for Liu Cong, but I didn't expect that even wenpin helped Liu Xiu speak. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to oppose Liu Xiu.
