As soon as Cai Mao walked out of Liu Biao's governor's house, Zhang Yun, who had been waiting outside, immediately surrounded him.

"Uncle, has uncle agreed?" Zhang Yun looked at Cai Mao anxiously.

Cai Mao shook his head, and then said: "I have already talked to your uncle, but your uncle did not agree. In addition, his condition has worsened, so I can't continue to persuade him, so I'd better wait."

"But uncle, uncle's condition has worsened. Shouldn't we speed up the process of taking control of the military?"

"If my uncle goes to Hexi one day and we are still unable to control all the military power, then someone will definitely join Liu Qi."

"What will we do if Liu Qi is really allowed to become the shepherd of Jingzhou?" Zhang Yun said anxiously.

When Cai Mao heard what Zhang Yun said, he also felt a headache.

This Liu Qi was born to Liu Biao's first wife, Chen. Later, Chen died of illness, so Liu Biao took Liu Qi to Jingzhou with him. In order to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou, he married Cai Mao's sister as his second wife.

His sister also gave birth to a son for Liu Biao, Liu Cong.

Cai Mao had no intention of replacing Liu Biao as the shepherd of Jingzhou, but this did not prevent him from wanting his nephew to be the shepherd of Jingzhou.

Therefore, from the time Liu Cong was born, Cai Mao and other Jingzhou aristocratic families began to think of ways to exclude Liu Qi.

This also resulted in Liu Qi not having a good relationship with a bunch of Jingzhou aristocratic families.

Starting last year, as Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, fell ill and was recuperating at home, Liu Biao sent Liu Qi to Jiangxia to take over the post of acting governor.

Since then, Liu Qi has been excluded from Jingzhou's core circle.

But what Cai Mao didn't expect was that Liu Qi went to Jiangxia and actually did a good job. Especially when it came to dealing with the Sun family in Jiangdong, he teamed up with Huang Zu and repelled the Sun family's attacks many times.

In terms of people's livelihood, Jiangxia also has good weather and the people are prosperous. This has led to Liu Qi's high reputation in Jiangxia.

Moreover, Huang Zu, who was Liu Cousin's trusted general, seemed to have a changed view of Liu Qi and felt that he was the wise master.

Such a comparison shows that Liu Cong is very incompetent.

But no matter how incompetent Cai Mao is, there is no way he can let Liu Qi take the position. After all, he has already offended Liu Qi to death before. If he is put in the position, then none of the Jingzhou aristocratic families will have an easy time.

"Hmph! As long as I'm here, that guy Liu Qi won't be able to get his hands on the position of Jingzhou Mu!" Cai Mao snorted coldly.

"Uncle, but now Liu Qi seems to have the support of Huang Zu. Huang Zu, an old and immortal man, has a great status in my uncle's heart."

"In case Huang Zu expressly supports Liu Qi, then we may be very passive." Zhang Yun thought for a while and said still a little worried.

"Hmph! If old man Huang Zu knows this, he'd better give up on Liu Qi. Otherwise, the Huang family won't be able to stay in Jingzhou anymore." Cai Mao's face was filled with anger.

Then he looked at Zhang Yun and continued: "You don't have to worry too much. It is a fact that Huang Zhong was defeated in Xinye. It is useless even if the lord believes in him."

"When Xiangyang is ready, I will continue to say that Huang Zhong will be replaced. When the time comes, the replacement will definitely be you."

"You have to be prepared and don't embarrass me and your uncle."

"Don't worry, uncle, I understand. I promise I won't embarrass you." Zhang Yun immediately assured Cai Mao.

"Okay, okay, as long as you know what's going on, you can go back first. I'm going to discuss it with the other family owners." After Cai Mao finished speaking, he got on his horse and left without paying any attention to Zhang Yun.

As for Zhang Yun, when he saw Cai Mao leaving, his smiling face immediately turned cold.

"What the hell?" Zhang Yun cursed secretly and turned around to leave.

Just when Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were discussing how to replace Huang Zhong and seize as much military power as possible, Liu Qi also had a sad look on his face in the Jiangxia Prefecture.

He told the truth that he couldn't understand why his father would choose to fight against the imperial court.

You must know that both his father and Liu Qi are descendants of the Liu family. Logically speaking, the Han Dynasty is in turmoil now, and it is time for the descendants of the Liu family to work together to overcome the difficulties.

Why do we have to start a rebellion at this time?

Don't say that Yuan Shao and Liu Bei support Liu Biao as emperor. Liu Qi knows very well that these two people are very ambitious. Will they sincerely recommend their father to be emperor?

This is simply impossible. In Liu Qi's view, both Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, who claims to be his family, are a group of villains harboring evil intentions.

The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family were still not satisfied, and always wanted to take a step closer. There were thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, and he, Yuan Shao, monopolized the three states of You, Ji, and Qing. Can you say that such a person is a loyal minister?

Both Android and Apple are available.]

As for Liu Bei, Liu Qi didn't know if he was really a descendant of the Liu family, but since the emperor said he wasn't, let's just assume he wasn't. Even if he was a descendant of the Liu family, it would be a disaster.

A disciple of a side branch actually wanted to rule the roost. In terms of closeness to the emperor's line, Liu Biao's branch was much closer than Liu Bei.

Moreover, just like what the emperor said, Prince Jing of Zhongshan had more than a hundred sons. You, Liu Bei, have been saying that you are Prince Jing of Zhongshan, but you can’t provide any evidence. Isn’t that just talking nonsense?

Everyone in the world knows that Prince Jing of Zhongshan has many heirs. If you say that you are a descendant of the Liu family without any evidence, who will believe it?

To put it bluntly, even if you are, you are still a rebel.

Liu Qi knew very well that it was all thanks to Liu Xie that the Han Dynasty could basically stabilize now. A child who was a few years younger than himself, for the sake of such a huge empire, spent all day thinking about how to save the situation without thinking about tea or food.

None of these descendants of the Liu family thought about how to serve the imperial court, but they all wanted to be Emperor Guangwu?

Want to replace him? To be honest, Liu Qi was very dissatisfied with this point.

But what can he do if he is dissatisfied? Liu Biao is now the head of Jingzhou, not Liu Qi. It is even said that as Liu Biao's eldest son, he should be Liu Biao's right-hand man in Xiangyang, but he was collectively ostracized by the Jingzhou family and could only come to Jiangxia.

.

In fact, when Liu Qi came to Jiangxia, he knew that he had basically said goodbye to the position of Jingzhou Mu.

However, Liu Qi was very tolerant. In his opinion, since the position of Jingzhou Mu was no longer possible, it would be good to serve as Jiangxia Prefect. He believed that as long as he worked hard, he could find a bright spot no matter where he was.

As long as you work hard, you will be able to enter the eyes of your father and the emperor sooner or later.

Therefore, he arrived in Jiangxia for a year and has been doing his best to develop Jiangxia. He resisted the losses in Jiangdong externally and improved people's livelihood internally, making Jiangxia prosperous and the people able to live and work in peace and contentment.

Everything he did also impressed Huang Zu, the former Jiangxia governor.
