Liu Biao and Liu Zhang sat opposite each other, drinking together, and their relationship was quite harmonious.
At that time, Liu Biao was a shepherd in Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, was a shepherd in Yizhou, and the relationship between the two parties was harmonious. After Liu Yan died of illness, Liu Biao arranged for people to go to Yizhou to instigate rebellion, intending to stir up the situation in Yizhou, and Gan Ning and others
Make chaos.
However, they were all suppressed.
At that time, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang had some conflicts.
Up to now, both parties have been wiped out by Lu Xuan, and all their interests have been lost. Instead, they have shaken hands and made peace. In addition, they are both clan members of the Han Dynasty, so they are related by relatives, so they get along very harmoniously.
Liu Biao held the wine bottle, drank a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Ji Yu, come and drink as much as you like. We are all Lu Xuan's caged birds now, and we have no power. We can have fun when we should, and enjoy when we should."
Liu Zhang said: "Jing Shenggong is right, please!"
He picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass of wine, then changed the topic and said, "Jing Shenggong, you said this time, we gathered some people to invite the emperor to abdicate, and Lu Xuan can inherit the Han Dynasty's legacy. Is it possible?"
Liu Biao was silent for a moment and said: "There should be some opportunities. If we don't ask for power, it will be in vain. Lu Xuan is a man with treacherous thoughts and extremely cunning. It is impossible for us old people from the Han Dynasty to take power."
"However, we suggest that the emperor abdicates the throne and that he ascends the throne again means that Lu Xuan inherits the Han Dynasty. Under this premise, Lu Xuan must have some preferential treatment for us, the former clan members of the Han family, right?
"
"As long as we are given a little preferential treatment, it will be enough for us to enjoy it."
Liu Biao said: "For Lu Xuan, it is helpful for him to inherit the Han Dynasty, inherit everything of the Han Dynasty, and have us fully support him."
Liu Zhang praised and said: "Jing Shenggong is worthy of being an old man, I admire him."
Liu Biao smiled and nodded, picked up the wine bottle and said: "Come and have a drink. If we don't have fun, wouldn't it be a waste of everything? Fortunately, although Lu Xuan deprived us of our power, at least the money in our hands is still there. We
If you have money, you can still live a good life."
Liu Zhang nodded again.
He was too young to see the situation clearly, but Liu Biao was old and cunning, so he could definitely see the situation clearly.
You won't suffer any loss if you follow Liu Biao.
While the two were drinking and chatting, there was the sound of hurried footsteps. The housekeeper looked a little panicked and said loudly: "Master, there is news from the palace that the king has summoned you to the palace to discuss matters."
brush!
Liu's surface color changed slightly.
Lu Xuan summoned him.
He had never seen Lu Xuan since he surrendered to Lu Xuan, because Lu Xuan spent most of his time on expeditions in the east and west. Even when Lu Xuan returned to the rear, Lu Xuan did not summon Liu Biao and others alone.
This time Lu Xuan came back and summoned him suddenly.
Liu Biao was thinking about it in his mind, and suddenly he thought about the matter of Lu Xuan ascending the throne after Liu Xie abdicated the throne. Because he had a guilty conscience, when nothing happened, Liu Biao felt all kinds of proud in his heart, feeling that what he did was to strive for greater interests for himself.
Now that I was suddenly summoned by Lu Xuan, my heart began to beat.
Looking at Liu Biao's expression, Liu Zhang had a guess in his mind and said with relief: "Jing Shenggong, your status is different and you have a high reputation. I expected that Lu Xuan summoned you this time just to ask for your opinion. After all, in the Han Dynasty, you are the most important person."
It has prestige. As for the matter of Lu Xuan taking over after the Emperor ascends the throne, it is not a big deal, it cannot be this matter."
Liu Biao frowned, feeling a little unstable, and said, "I hope so."
Liu Zhang said: "Besides, even if Lu Xuan asks the emperor about his enthronement after he ascends the throne, it won't be a big problem. With your reputation, it's just a small matter."
Liu Biao glanced at Liu Zhang.
It seemed that there was a hint of schadenfreude in Liu Zhang's comforting words. In short, he could not feel the sincerity of comfort.
"Master!"
Suddenly, Liu Zhang's personal entourage rushed in and said anxiously: "Sir, there is news from home. King Wu has summoned you. Please enter the palace immediately."
brush!
Liu Zhang's expression changed instantly.
The relaxed and comfortable face instantly turned solemn, losing the previous stability.
Liu Zhang's cheeks twitched, he looked at Liu Biao and said sarcastically: "Jing Shenggong, let's enter the palace together."
Liu Biao sighed: "Lu Xuan summoned us at the same time. It seems that it is really for the purpose of letting the emperor ascend the throne after he abdicates. This incident may have aroused Lu Xuan's anger."
"Well, for the sake of my own interests, I publicly stated my position and attracted the support of some people. I thought that this was also to support Lu Xuan's proclaimed emperor, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Liu Zhang looked even more nervous.
He was a little timid at first, but after hearing Liu Biao's words, he became even more worried.
"Let's go and enter the palace first."
Liu Biao sighed.
He no longer cared about Liu Zhang and strode out.
Liu Zhang followed Liu Biao and walked straight out. The two boarded the carriage and went straight to the palace. It was not far from the east city of Nanjing to the imperial city. In a little more than a quarter of an hour, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang arrived outside the imperial city and got off the carriage.
Then he entered the palace smoothly.
The two came outside the palace to ask for an audience, but were told that Lu Xuan was busy and would not have time to meet him for a while, so they were asked to wait outside the palace.
When Liu Biao heard the news, his heart sank.
He looked at Liu Zhang, and when their eyes met, they both felt a little bit in their hearts, and they felt something bad was going on.
Liu Biao was thinking about how to deal with Lu Xuan if he got into trouble?
He glanced at Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was also involved in what happened this time. Moreover, Liu Zhang was very active and even contacted most of the scholars. Liu Zhang participated more often. Can he shirk his responsibility?
Liu Zhang's eyes were also rolling, thinking about seeking good luck and avoiding disaster. Once Lu Xuan became serious, no one could escape. When Lu Xuan was in Yizhou, he overturned Yizhou with a very small amount of power.
Even people like Zhang Song and Zhang Ren all submitted to Lu Xuan, as did Fazheng and Yan Yan.
He couldn't withstand Lu Xuan's attack.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang regretted in his heart. If he had known better, he should not have been blinded by some benefits.
He glanced at Liu Biao and made up his mind.
The two of them waited, and nearly two quarters of an hour passed. Both Liu Biao and Liu Zhang became obviously agitated. Liu Biao was older and had a deep scheming mind, but he was still stable. Liu Zhang was already very impetuous. He walked back and forth as if on a hot pot.
of ants.
Liu Biao glanced at Liu Zhang and said, "Ji Yu, why are you walking back and forth?"
"I'm panicking!"
Liu Zhang answered without hesitation.
He looked helpless and said regretfully: "If I had known earlier, I would not have gotten involved in this matter. At first, I thought that we all support King Wu, so for the sake of benefit, we stepped in and wanted a share of the pie. I didn't expect that it would happen.
Summoned directly by King Wu."
Liu Biao said: "It's useless to talk about this now. Keep your mind calm and respond to King Wu's inquiry."
"Xuan Liu Biao, Liu Zhang appears."
Suddenly, the waiter's voice came.
The moment the voice came out, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang cheered up and walked towards the main hall.
After the two entered, they both walked at the same pace at first. They walked to the center of the hall. The moment Liu Biao stood still and was about to speak, Liu Zhang had already stepped forward and knelt on the ground with a plop, tapping his head on the ground with his buttocks high in the air.
He said in a loud voice: "The sinner Liu Zhang, please pay homage to the King of Wu."
Liu Biao's expression froze, and when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
What does Liu Zhang mean?
Pig teammates?
Lu Xuan didn't say anything, but Liu Zhang apologized. How could he talk like this? What's more, before he could shirk responsibility, Liu Zhang apologized, which immediately made Liu Biao's situation neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.
