Chapter 169: Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (Liu Xiegeng)
Although Liu Qi knew that there was something behind his mother's death, when he opened the last brocade cloth, his face quickly turned livid.
There is no greater hatred in the world than killing one's father and mother. When Liu Qi knew the cause of his mother's death, one can imagine the anger in Liu Qi's heart. A ball of anger brewed in Liu Qi's heart, and his eyes turned red without knowing when.
"call!"
Liu Qi took a long breath and managed to calm down, but his expression was still very bad.
"Didn't expect it was him?"
He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought it was him. In his opinion, the possibility was almost zero.
"Here comes someone." Liu Qi shouted to the door.
"Lord." Gan Ning, who had been guarding the door, walked in and said.
"Go and ask Uncle Zhang to come over and tell him that I have important matters to see him." Liu Qi nodded. Although the brocade cloth told what happened, it was not detailed. Uncle Zhang had been following his mother and he should know what happened.
"No." Gan Ning immediately turned around and left quickly.
Not long after, I heard the sound of footsteps as Zhang Bo came walking vigorously.
"Young Master." Uncle Zhang looked at Liu Qi, who had a gloomy expression in front of him, and secretly guessed why Liu Qi asked him to come here.
"Uncle Zhang should tell me about my mother at this time, right?" Liu Qi looked at Uncle Zhang and said in a deep voice.
"Why!"
Seeing Liu Qi's expression, he obviously knew something. Uncle Zhang sighed and nodded slightly, and said with a nostalgic look on his face: "Is the eldest son wondering why the old slave has been following the madam?"
"Yes, with Zhang Bo's martial arts skills, how can he be just a housekeeper, and he has been doing it for decades." Liu Qi looked at Zhang Bo and asked. There were not many military generals in the Three Kingdoms period who could be comparable to Zhang Bo, but Zhang Bo was
It was a steward in his house, he had to doubt it.
"Actually, the old slave is not a housekeeper. At the beginning, the old slave was chased by his enemies because of some things. Fortunately, he met the young lady and the old slave escaped the pursuit. After that, the old slave has been following the young lady. At that time, the young lady was only in her prime.
, the old slave treated him as his own daughter. The young lady was beautiful and gentle at a young age, which naturally attracted the young masters at that time to pursue her. However, the young lady was engaged at the time, so she pursued them.
Turn a blind eye."
"Oh, my mother was engaged at that time?" Liu Qi looked at Uncle Zhang in confusion.
"Yes, it was the lady's cousin, General Zhennan Liu Biao, who made the engagement with the lady. Although the matchmaker was ordered by his parents, the two of them were in love. General Zhennan was only twenty years old at the time, but he
Already her literary talent has made her famous all over the world, and it is the time when she is high-spirited and ambitious. And the young lady is also well-read in poetry and books, gentle and generous, and she and Liu Jingzhou often read books and discuss paintings, playing the piano and the harp in harmony." When Zhang Bo mentioned Liu Qi's mother,
He looked doting on his face, as if he was his own young son.
"In that year, the government was in ruins and the building collapsed. As a descendant of the royal family, Liu Jingzhou naturally ran around hoping to save the government. However, although he was quite famous, he did not have enough prestige, and the government was hopeless at that time. Therefore,
Liu Jingzhou could only return disappointed. In that year, at the urging of their parents, the young lady and Liu Jingzhou got married. After the marriage, the two always respected each other as guests and lived happily. The next year, the young lady gave birth to a baby.
Young Master." After saying this, Uncle Zhang looked at Liu Qi dotingly, as if he were his own grandson.
"Then why did my mother die later?" Liu Qi asked.
"Afterwards, the situation was turbulent. Liu Jingzhou became busier and busier but still insisted on going home to meet with the lady every day. However, the good times did not last long. Liu Jingzhou was sent to another place, and there was a scuffle there. Liu Jingzhou was worried about the safety of the lady, so he took the lady and the lady away.
The eldest son stayed in the mansion and went alone. However, things were unpredictable. Not long after Liu Jingzhou left, the old slave's old enemy came to visit. The old slave's enemy was none other than Yuan Shu. The old slave's family was originally a martial arts family, and Yuan Shu
When the recruitment failed, they secretly sent soldiers and horses to kill all the old slaves and his family, and only the old slaves escaped."
"Then Yuan Shu didn't know where he learned that the old slave was not dead. After inquiring, he learned the whereabouts of the old slave. However, Liu Jingzhou was in the mansion at that time, and Yuan Shu did not dare to come to seek revenge. After Liu Jingzhou left, Yuan Shu sent people to go there privately.
We came to intercept and kill the old slave, but unfortunately the young lady was hit by the poison in the fish and died of it." Uncle Zhang couldn't help but burst into tears as he spoke.
"The old slave was originally a person who deserved death. He didn't expect to be rescued by the young lady, so he wanted to stay with the young lady to protect her. Unexpectedly, he brought trouble for the young lady. The old slave wanted to die, but the young lady asked him to take care of her before she died.
My eldest son, this old servant has managed to survive till now." Uncle Zhang said with a sad look on his face.
"Then we can find out who leaked Zhang Bo's whereabouts to Yuan Shu?" Thinking of the message on the brocade cloth, it was obvious that someone wanted to deal with his father.
"The eldest son is right. Liu Jingzhou heard the news of the death of the young lady and rushed back overnight, but the young lady was already deceased. Liu Jingzhou was so sad that he could only avenge the young lady. After a secret investigation, he found out who had secretly leaked the information about the old slave to Yuan Shu.
This is Liu Xie, today's emperor." Zhang Bo said with an angry look on his face.
"call!"
Liu Qi took a deep breath. Although he had known it was Liu Xie for a long time, he still couldn't believe it when Uncle Zhang said it to Liu Qi. If Liu Biao was a member of the Han clan at the time, why did Liu Xie do this before he could win over him?
"Why did Liu Xie do this?" Liu Qi raised his head and looked at Zhang Bo and asked.
"The old slave doesn't know, not even Liu Jingzhou knows. After that, Liu Jingzhou was in a dilemma and changed his mind overnight. He swore never to see Liu Xie again. He was not so polite to Yuan Shu. After that, he always opposed Yuan Shu until he knew what he had done before.
Yuan Shu was killed a few years ago." Zhang Bo was obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Biao's actions.
Liu Qi could understand Liu Biao's approach. After all, the Han Dynasty was in decline at that time and Liu Xie was a prominent one among the princes, so it was not easy for him to fight among himself. And as one of the Eight Horsemen, Liu Biao was deeply influenced by Confucian culture and naturally would not do it.
Such a heinous and unethical thing happened.
Although he did not know the cause of his mother's death at the time, Liu Qi knew that his mother was buried in Luoyang. Liu Biao naturally hoped to return to Luoyang in his lifetime. However, the princes in the world were fighting in a scuffle. Liu Biao did not have the courage to fight with others for the world and eventually died.
Did not return to Luoyang.
"If I have time, I will go to Xiangyang to see my mother." Liu Qi sighed.
"Young master, don't worry. Luoyang is actually just a tomb for the lady. After Liu Jingzhou unified Jingzhou, he secretly moved the lady's grave here. He thought I didn't know. In fact, I just didn't want to argue with him. All this.
I often visit Miss during the year." Uncle Zhang comforted her.
"Oh, where?" It seems that Liu Biao still couldn't let go of his mother, otherwise he wouldn't have secretly moved his mother's grave here. Uncle Zhang saw this and didn't stop her.
"Just outside the city." Zhang Bo raised his head and said.
"Let's go there in the next few days." Liu Qi sighed.
"Young lady will also be happy to see the eldest son." Seeing Liu Qi like this, Uncle Zhang said with a smile on his face.
Waving to Uncle Zhang to step aside, Liu Qi began to think about why Liu Xie wanted to deal with Liu Biao. According to Uncle Zhang's account, Liu Biao had not offended Liu Xie, but was very helpful to Liu Xie, otherwise he would not have sworn not to see Liu Xie again.
Now that the two of them had known each other before or were very good friends, Liu Biao's doing this was equivalent to cutting off the robe and severing ties.
Since the two were friends, Liu Xie should not have done this. You must know that Liu Xie was just a prince at that time. With Liu Biao's support, he would have more strength. Moreover, the power of the Han Dynasty in the world was gradually weakening at that time, so
Liu Xie should not take action against Liu Biao regardless of reason.
"Could there be some hidden secret in this matter?" After thinking for a long time, Liu Qi still couldn't figure it out and couldn't help but secretly guess.
"Hey, maybe we can only ask Liu Xie." Liu Qi sighed and thought. Although Liu Xie was the emperor at this time and had no real power, no one dared to object in name. Except for Yuan Shao who wanted to establish a new emperor, other
People still have some respect for Liu Xie. The most important thing is that Liu Xie is in Xudu at this time, and Liu Qi will not be able to see him in a short time. Originally, he wanted to persuade Liu Biao to rob Yuan Shao when Cao Cao was conquering him.
Xu Du, but considering Liu Biao's oath, it may be difficult to do this.
The identity and identity of the Zhang Bo family actually attracted Yuan Shu to win over him. You must know that the members of the fourth and third clans of the Yuan family are all arrogant and arrogant. How could they care about a family of martial arts? You must know that Liu Biao was born into a royal family with a noble status.
, and since Liu Qi's mother is Liu Biao's cousin, she is naturally closely related to the royal family. How could Yuan Shu rashly offend Liu Biao for the sake of a small martial arts family?
"It seems things are not as simple as they seem." I thought.
"Lord." At this moment Gan Ning's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in." Liu Qi said in a deep voice.
Tap tap tap......
The sound of footsteps sounded and Gan Ning walked in. Seeing that Liu Qi's face was no longer as gloomy as before, he felt relieved.
"My lord, the military advisor has arrived outside Xiangyang City at this time." Gan Ning bowed and said.
"Oh, the military advisor is back." Liu Qi looked happy. If Xu Shu were here, he might know the secret. Just because he can't figure out some things doesn't mean Xu Shu can't figure it out. Moreover, the Battle of Guandu is about to begin. At this time
We still need to discuss it with Xu Shu.
"Let's go take a look together." Liu Qi put away the brocade box on the table, stood up, and headed out of the courtyard gate with Gan Ning.
"By the way, call me Third Brother. He and Brother Pan haven't seen each other for a long time." Liu Qi suddenly turned to Gan Ning and said.
"Don't worry, my lord, the general has sent someone to inform the Third Young Master of this matter. I think the Third Young Master is already on the way." Gan Ning nodded.
"In that case, let's wait first." Liu Qi came outside the mansion gate and saw that the Jinyi guards and Jinfan thieves were already ready outside the mansion gate. They were all tall and powerful.
