Chapter 652 Huo Guang’s Story
"That's right. King Chenliu is still in the palace. Do you want to summon the general?" Liu Ye asked.
"Well, don't worry, we'll talk about it later."
Just as Liu Ye finished speaking, Jia Xu suddenly said: "General, I'm afraid we can't wait any longer."
"Can't wait any longer?" Liu Ye frowned and looked at Jia Xu, not understanding what he meant.
"Exactly." Jia Xu bowed and said slowly: "His Majesty's escape is an urgent matter and needs to be dealt with immediately, otherwise things will change if it is delayed."
"Change will happen later?"
Jia Xu said expressionlessly: "Yes, if other princes support you as your majesty, then where will the justice of our army be?"
Liu Ye frowned and suddenly thought of something bad. Among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, the one with the most long-term strategic vision was Cao Cao. At that time, Yuan Shao, Zhang Yang and others had the opportunity to support the emperor, but Zhang Yang only sent a wave of food and grass to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and got the post of Sima. Although Guo Tu suggested that Yuan Shao should welcome the emperor, Yuan Shao refused.
Now that Yuan Shao's power has declined and he has retreated to the land of Youyan, his strength is not something to be afraid of, but Cao Cao is different. Cao Cao now occupies Qingzhou and Xuzhou, especially the Pingyuan County of Qingzhou is still in Hebei. It is said that Cao Cao is hoarding troops and horses in Pingyuan County, which seems to have the meaning of eagles flying over the river. Moreover, Cao Cao also occupies Huainan, and his power is second only to Liu Ye, plus Liu Ye joined forces with Yuan Shao, and even if Liu Ye marched out with a large army, it would be difficult to pacify them for a while.
With Cao Cao's outstanding strategic vision, coupled with his current strength that dominates half of the Central Plains, wouldn't it be a big mistake to welcome Emperor Liu Wen?
"The reason why our army is fighting against all odds, apart from the general's outstanding vision and the fact that one of the troops is equal to ten, the most important reason is that our army has great righteousness!" Jia Xu said sternly: "The general is the descendant of Emperor Gaozu. Support the emperor, and the people of the world will be convinced, so our army will be invincible. If the emperor flees, and the people of the world don't know where he is, won't they think that the general is a figure like Liang Ji and Dong Zhuo?"
"What exactly does Wen He mean? You can tell me directly." Liu Ye stared at him and said.
"The emperor fled and left the palace. He is really cowardly and not worthy of being the emperor!"
Jia Xu said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically, especially Xun You, who stood up excitedly and accused Jia Xu: "Jia Wenhe, what are you talking about? Does this person say anything?"
Jia Xu ignored Xun You's words and continued to speak.
"The emperor is cowardly and not qualified to take on such a great responsibility. Although in the past, he has been established as a direct descendant but not as a virtuous one, King Li of Zhou was cruel and the people of the country rioted, so King Xuan was established."
"Since the emperor is unwilling to live on the Dragon Throne, how can anyone force him to do so? The emperor fled, and both the empress and the queen mother followed him. Now there is King Chenliu who is wise and still stays in the palace."
"Please general, please follow the story of former general Huo Guang, depose the emperor as the king of the north, and make King Chenliu the emperor!"
Jia Xu said that he would never stop dying if he was not shocked. As soon as he said this, the eyes of the civil servants and generals on the left and right changed greatly. Some defenders were deeply disgusted and frightened, while others admired it, but everyone There was deep fear in his eyes.
Liu Ye looked at Jia Xu and said nothing.
"Jia Wenhe!"
Xun You's expression changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly. His white jade-like face turned red, as if an active volcano was about to erupt. His eyes were wide open, and he really looked like he was "furious".
"You are really a rebellious minister and a traitor!" After being established as emperor, who among the people in the world does not know that the general is unparalleled in his loyalty and courage?"
"Now you ask the general to depose the emperor. How can you do this repeatedly?"
Xun You's meaning is also very obvious. When Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, it was Liu Ye who sent troops to rescue Liu Bian and then re-established Liu Bian as emperor. Now if Liu Ye deposes the Young Emperor of Han again, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?
"I am here for the general and for the imperial court!" Jia Xu said expressionlessly: "If other princes support the emperor, how will the general deal with himself? Who will the imperial court serve as the leader?"
"General, please don't listen to Jia Xu's words. It will really harm the country and the people!" Xun You no longer argued with Jia Xu, but turned around and said to Liu Ye: "The general is the pillar of the imperial court. He can break his trust. The world?"
"Um"
Liu Ye nodded, but did not speak for a long time. Finally he said: "Okay, I know your opinions. Let's all go down. I want to see King Chenliu first."
"I'll leave." Xun You, Jia Xu and others were very shrewd and saw that Liu Ye didn't want to make a decision immediately, so they all retreated.
Liu Ye stood up and ordered his left and right: "Prepare the car, I am going to see King Chenliu."
"promise."
A carriage pulled by three horses had been prepared outside the door. After Liu Ye got on the carriage, he was surrounded by dozens of Huben guards who were at least following him. They surrounded the carriage and drove slowly towards the Chengyun Hall where King Chenliu temporarily lived. go.
When they arrived outside Chengyun Hall, there were already guards raising the curtain outside the door, and Liu Ye slowly walked forward.
When the small yellow gate outside the palace saw Liu Ye getting out of the car, he hurriedly held his breath and shouted very quickly: "The general is here!"
Liu Ye had made great contributions and was rewarded by the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty with the right to "go to the palace with swords and shoes, and praise without name". If ordinary officials came to see him, they would have to put their names after their official titles, but he did not need to, and Xiaohuangmen He also had to speak very fast, for fear of neglecting Liu Ye.
Liu Ye got off the carriage and walked into the Chengyun Hall. He saw King Chenliu sitting on the main seat solemnly. Although Liu Bian escaped, he looked calm and composed. Although he was only a teenager, he was Quite like a human being.
Liu Ye couldn't help but admired in his heart: No wonder Emperor Ling loved Liu Xie at the beginning, and even Dong Zhuo wanted to depose the emperor. Liu Xie really has the image of an emperor, but it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, otherwise he might be smart. It is really possible that Liu Xie was the leader of the ZTE in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Liu Ye, pays homage to your Majesty."
"The general has done great service to the country, why should he pay homage? Please get up quickly." Facing Liu Ye, Liu Xie did not dare to be careless and hurriedly asked Liu Ye to get up and order someone to give him a seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."
After sitting down, Liu Ye didn't say any nonsense and went straight to the point: "May I ask your Majesty, does your Majesty's departure have something to do with you?"
Liu Ye stared at Liu Xie, his eyes were bright and shining with a bright look. He was originally a master of martial arts. He had practiced martial arts to such a level that he could look at the sun. Liu Xie already had fear in his heart.
"Brother Wang, the Queen and Queen Mother ran away and have nothing to do with this King."
