Chapter 429: What’s wrong with giving everything to this person?
Woolen cloth?
Liu Bei had not told Jia Xu what Liu Hong said to him before.
Originally, he wanted to give Liu Hong a little face and not let his impression in the hearts of the people in the world fall to the bottom, but now that he thinks about it, it is quite unnecessary.
Liu Hong's image probably doesn't need any more damage. He has already hit rock bottom. If he goes down further, can he still make holes?
So Liu Bei used some words and explained the underlying logic of Liu Hong's instigation of this struggle to Jia Xu in a softer and more euphemistic way.
Of course Jia Xu could understand some big issues of right and wrong.
For example, Liu Hong didn't want his son to make the same mistakes again. Of course he understood and recognized what Liu Hong was saying, and felt that what Liu Hong was thinking was right.
But the real problem is that Liu Hong seems unwilling to establish Liu Bian's identity as the crown prince at this stall. The reason may be that he does not want to lose face, and he wants to make the woman he hates restless day and night, have trouble sleeping and eating, and make her suffer.
Due punishment.
"Back then, after the emperor's beloved Wang Meiren gave birth to Prince Xie, she was poisoned to death by a trick by the current queen, and then tried to murder Prince Xie. The emperor was furious and tried to abolish the queen. He spent a lot of money to ask eunuchs to talk about it, and then she invited
Ten regular attendants were moved.
So the ten permanent servants went to the palace and knelt down to beg the emperor to appease his anger. They told the story that Wang Meiren was dead and that she could not be resurrected after she was deposed. Moreover, the queen was the mother of Prince Bian. If she were deposed, Prince Bian would be affected for life. At that time, the court would
The situation will be more turbulent.
The emperor considered these things and saw that the eunuchs were siding with the He family. He may have had concerns because of this, so he did not abolish the queen. However, there was almost a break between the emperor and the queen. The emperor lived in the West Garden all year round and had no contact with the queen.
, and are not willing to make the prince a prince."
Liu Bei briefly explained these palace events so that Jia Xu would not make misjudgments due to poor information.
After Jia Xu learned the news, it was quite hard to believe the bloody events in the palace that year, and even more unbelievable that the emperor was reluctant to establish a prince because he hated the queen.
"Compared with this reason, I am more willing to believe that the emperor wants to abolish the elders and establish younger ones. In that case, I can convince myself more, instead of lamenting that the emperor is so impulsive, which makes me even more worried about the emperor.
The future direction of the country’s power…”
"This...I can't say it either."
Liu Bei chuckled and rolled his eyes helplessly.
Jia Xu sighed deeply.
"Is the emperor really unwilling to take the first step and establish the prince as crown prince? If not, it will be difficult to divide and disintegrate the forces on the He family, and it is difficult to say whether he can win."
Of course Liu Bei knew that what Jia Xu said was right, but Liu Hong was the one who made the decision. What could he do if he didn't make the decision?
Jia Xu frowned and thought hard, thinking about it over and over again, and suddenly thought of something interesting.
"Actually, fundamentally, we don't necessarily need the Emperor to win. In other words, based on your ambition, the most important thing is how to make both the Emperor and the He family suffer, isn't it?"
Liu Bei didn't expect Jia Xu's thinking to change so quickly.
"Wen He, your words are heartbreaking."
"For the sake of your great ambitions, so what if you sacrifice your heart?"
Jia Xu smiled softly: "Jia Wenhe is a person that no one cares about. He is talented and learned, and no one cares about him. It has been like this for more than 40 years, and finally someone has taken a fancy to his talent. In this case, I will devote myself to this person."
If you give everything, what's not to do?"
"Wenhe..."
Liu Bei stretched out his hand to hold Jia Xu's hand and nodded slowly: "My ambition is to save the common people and prevent them from suffering greater suffering. For this reason, I will not hesitate to destroy the entire Luoyang. You
Are you willing to move forward with me?"
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"
Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei with excitement: "I will never regret being able to work with you on such a great undertaking, even if I die!"
"good!"
Liu Bei held Jia Xu's hands with both hands: "With a good man like you, what do I have to worry about?"
Liu Bei said this sincerely.
He felt Jia Xu's loyalty and determination, because Jia Xu didn't know about Liu Hong's death soon. Despite this, Jia Xu was willing to use this as a premise to plan things that maximized interests for Liu Bei.
Jia Xu's loyalty is beyond doubt.
Liu Hong was eagerly looking forward to Liu Bei's return, but the reply Liu Bei quickly sent back to him was not so optimistic, saying that he would need at least three months to prepare.
Liu Hong felt very anxious. He hoped that Liu Bei would arrive in Luoyang in one month, and no more than two months at most.
In mid-December of the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Hong's letter was sent directly to Liangzhou.
At this time, Liu Bei had indeed made some arrangements for Yizhou, handing over Yizhou's military affairs to Qianzhao, and asked Gong Zu to lead a group of military officers to cooperate with Qianzhao, and jointly shoulder the responsibility for the security of the entire Yizhou military.
After settling this matter, Liu Bei returned to Liangzhou with peace of mind.
When he received the letter, Liu Bei was holding an internal meeting in the state capital and informed all his core subordinates that he might return to Luoyang soon.
Of course, the subordinates were very excited about this. They realized that Liu Bei's return was not only a good opportunity for Liu Bei's personal development, but also a great opportunity for their development.
Once Liu Bei can gain a firm foothold in Luoyang and gain some power, their status will inevitably rise with the tide.
Their expectations for Liu Bei were very high, although they didn't know what Liu Bei's departure meant.
Currently, only Liu Hui and Jia Xu know the real reason why Liu Bei went to Luoyang. Liu Bei did not tell it widely, and there was no need to tell it widely.
Although everyone has formed a coalition of interests, when it comes to more profound topics, it is better to let nature take its course.
"The emperor ordered me to return to Luoyang, mainly to fight against the increasingly powerful generals He Jin and Situ Yuan Wei. These two people came together, worked together, managed the government, and were suspected of slandering the emperor. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, I
In order to maintain the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, it is our unshirkable responsibility.
As for the idea of abolishing the elders and establishing young ones, it is pure nonsense. The emperor did this just to avoid repeating the mistakes of the late emperor. When the emperor was established by the former general Dou Wu, he was also controlled by Dou. The emperor did not want to
This happened again, so we decided to weaken He's power."
Liu Bei chose an explanation for Liu Honghuai's more purposeful actions that could be most recognized and understood, which could be regarded as a little maintenance of his image and worthy of his trust in Liu Bei.
Later, with many assumptions in mind, Liu Bei made some arrangements for the situation after he left Liangzhou.
