Before Liu Qi could ask further questions, a servant ran over, saluted Liu Qi and said, "See you, young master."
Liu Qi looked at the servant and asked, "What's the matter?"
The servant said respectfully: "Master Zhou Mu sent someone to send a message to the young master to go and discuss the matter."
"Discussing matters? Could it be that the matter in Changsha has been cleared up?" Liu Qi felt a little confused, "Well, I understand."
The servant bowed and retreated. Uncle Zhang had already left when Liu Qi asked the servant what was going on.
"It seems that it can only be done next time. Is there something hidden about my mother? Why has no one mentioned my mother yet? Even though Uncle Zhang knows about it, it seems that he has something to hide?" Liu Qi thought and walked towards the backyard.
"Master." Wan'erjian Liu Qi came home early today, which was a bit unexpected but more of a surprise.
"Well, change my clothes. Father asked me to discuss something. Why don't you see that girl Qing'er?" Qing'er has always been inseparable from Wan'er. Today I only saw Wan'er but not Qing'er.
"Oh, she went out to buy things." Wan'er replied while gently helping Liu Qi change clothes.
"She's out?" Liu Qi was a little surprised.
"Didn't the young master say that she could go out for a walk if she had nothing to do? She was so bored at home today that she went out." Wan'er took out the clothes Liu Qi wore for the last meeting and put them on for Liu Qi, not forgetting to defend Qing'er.
"I didn't blame her, it was just a bit unexpected. Then why don't you go out for a walk?" Liu Qi asked as he looked at the woman in front of him who was arranging his clothes.
"I'm afraid that once the young master comes back, no one will greet him. You see, if I go out too, no one will change the young master's clothes." Wan'er tied her belt, looked at Liu Qi, and said softly.
Liu Qi was a little touched. Although it was normal for Qing'er to be restless and run out, for women, it was their nature to go shopping. As a woman, Wan'er was no exception. She could think of Liu Qi last and stayed just in case. Once
.
Liu Qi stepped forward and hugged Wan'er under her surprised gaze. Wan'er struggled slightly and lay quietly in Liu Qi's arms, but her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
Liu Qi gently kissed Wan'er's forehead and said warmly: "I will live up to you in this life." After saying that, he quickly left.
Breathing in the breath of the man in front of her and listening to his words, Wan'er felt that everything was worth it, and she was willing to die even now.
Liu Qi came out of the backyard and breathed a sigh of relief. He hugged Wan'er just now without caring about anything when he was excited, and said those words. It was the first time in his past life that he made such a promise. Now that he thinks about it, he is still a little excited. He doesn't know where he got the courage at that time.
.
Uncle Zhang had already prepared the horse when he left the house. Liu Qi occasionally learned how to ride in the past two days, and he would always ride a horse when traveling in the future. This was Liu Qi's instruction. Ma Zhong had returned without knowing when and was waiting for him.
Liu Qi stepped forward, took the horse's rope and jumped onto the horse, "Let's go." After saying that, he left first, followed closely by Ma Zhong and others.
When Liu Qi arrived, Cai Mao, Yi Ji, Kuai Yue, Wang Wei and the main officials in Xiangyang had already arrived. Even Liu Biao had arrived and was sitting there with a gloomy expression. The officials below all lowered their heads and held their breaths, not daring to make any sound.
Seeing this situation, Liu Qi felt a little heavy in his heart, "It seems that the situation in Changsha is more complicated than I thought." Liu Qi stepped forward and saluted: "See my father."
Liu Qi's face softened slightly as he entered, and he nodded and said: "Qi'er is here, please return to your seat." His voice was a little hoarse.
Hearing Liu Biao's hoarse voice, Liu Qi stood beside Yi Ji with a tense expression and looked at Yi Ji. Yi Ji shook his head and signaled Liu Qi to calm down.
After Liu Qi stood still, Liu Mian's expression returned to his previous gloomy look. He looked down and said angrily: "Just when news came from Changsha, three days ago Changsha Governor Zhang Xian announced that he would break away from Xiangyang and become independent. I sent to Changsha to inquire about Zhang Xian's situation.
Official Song Zhong has been detained." When Liu Biao said this, the officials below him were already furious.
"Why did Zhang Xian rebel? How could he be so bold?"
"Zhang Xian actually betrayed Mr. Zhou Mu. It seems that he was the one responsible for the Xiangyang assassination."
"Damn it, Zhang Xian usually looks quite honest, but you didn't expect him to dare to rebel?"
…………
Liu Qi was also shocked by the news. According to his speculation, Zhang Xian would rebel, but he would not rebel so early. At the very least, he would negotiate with Liu Biaoxu to delay for some time. Liu Qi was shocked, but his face did not change at all, and the expression in his eyes never changed.
I scanned the hall and wrote down the reactions of various officials one by one. During this period, only seven or eight officials, including Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Yi Ji, and Wang Wei, remained calm. The others looked panicked and angry...
"It seems that the water in Xiangyang is very deep." Most of the people who have remained calm so far are aristocratic families. These families have been entrenched in Xiangyang for a long time and are aware of all the troubles in Xiangyang. I am afraid they have already received the news about Zhang Xian's rebellion.
.
As Liu Biao's face became increasingly gloomy, the discussion below gradually subsided.
"Can you tell me what to do?" Liu Biao asked when everyone calmed down.
Cai Hao was the first to step forward and said: "My subordinates thought that Zhang Xian should be killed, but now is a troubled time. All the princes are preparing for the next war. We kill Zhang Xian now so that others can take advantage of it."
The opportunity, especially Sun Ce from Jiangdong, is eyeing Jiangxia, and he will not let go of this opportunity. Zhang Xian is just afraid that Lord Zhou Mu will ask for punishment. As long as Lord Zhou exempts him from the death penalty, I think he will come to Xiangyang to plead guilty.
"The meaning of protecting Zhang Xian is self-evident in his words. Zhang Xian can be regarded as a member of Cai Mao's family. How did Cai Mao watch Changsha fall into the hands of others, and at the same time he scolded Zhang Xian in his heart.
Thousands of times.
Hearing Cai Mao defending Zhang Xian, Liu Biao snorted coldly and looked at the others.
Yi Ji laughed angrily and said, "According to Master Cai, from now on, as long as an official rebels, he will be exempted from the death penalty. How can it be polite? Your prestige will be destroyed with just a slap on paper? Your subordinates think that for someone like Zhang Xian,
Even if a rebellious person is exonerated and surrenders, there is no guarantee that he will not rebel again. Such people should be killed as a warning to others and will not be tolerated."
Before Liu Biao could speak, Cai Mao retorted: "Normally, people like this would not tolerate it, but now is an extraordinary period, and we should not waste our energy on this matter."
As soon as Cai Mao finished speaking, Zhang Yun and several other officials from Cai Mao's family stepped forward and said, "We agree with what Military Advisor Cai said."
Just as everyone finished speaking, they suddenly heard a loud laugh. Everyone looked at his staff member Li Gui. Li Gui was not afraid of the anger of the Cai family and said loudly: "I just saw something happening today. Zhang Xian's rebellion is even a capital crime.
There are a hundred reasons that can't absolve him of the death penalty. You don't want to conspire for Master Zhou Mu to kill the traitor, but instead you clear the traitor's name. It's really shameless." At the end of the sentence, it turned into a stern shout, full of laughter.
The face is angry and upright, then revealed.
Liu Qi looked at Li Gui and sighed, no wonder he was killed when Liu Cong returned to surrender to Cao Cao. This mouth alone is enough to make people bear it. Thinking that people like Li Gui are direct ministers, they will naturally point out the faults of Mingjun when they meet Mingjun.
Assist Mingjun to achieve great achievements, just like Wei Zheng during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing Li Gui's upright face, the people of the Cai family were full of anger, but they didn't know how to retort.
Liu Biao looked at Li Gui and nodded. Although Li Gui usually didn't speak politely, he was not indifferent to others. Although he didn't agree with his suggestions, today he spoke to his heart.
Liu Biao turned his head to look at Kuai Yue and asked, "What do you think of the alien?"
Yi Ji only raised his head and glanced at Li Gui when Li Gui was speaking. He kept his head down the rest of the time. When he heard Liu Biao's question, he raised his head and said, "Everything is up to you."
Liu Biao's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he regained his composure. His original intention was to cultivate the Kuai family to compete with the aristocratic families in Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, Kuai Liang was busy raising horses all day and was not thinking about political affairs, while Kuai Yue pretended to be a good man.
Don't offend, and have always been impartial in the battle for reserve positions.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao turned his attention to Liu Qi. A lot had changed since Liu Qi woke up. If he hadn't suggested moving troops into Xiangyang last time, there might have been chaos by now.
Liu Qi loves you. Liu Biao looked at him and stepped forward and said: "Father, I thought we should send out troops immediately to wipe out the rebellion with thunderous force. Zhang Xian's rebellion may not necessarily bring back the Changsha generals. At this time, sending troops can be used to wipe out them."
If time passes and Zhang Xian cleans out the people inside, it will be difficult to eliminate him. Moreover, You County in Changsha, which is close to Jiangdong, has always been Jiangdong's target. If it is lost, Jiangdong will open up other areas besides Jiangxia.
A gateway to Jingzhou. Jingzhou will have no peace of mind. Besides, it is still unknown whether Jiang Dong was involved in Zhang Xian's rebellion. Once Zhang Xian and Jiang Dong unite, most of Jingzhou will be exposed to Jiang Dong.
, Jiangdong will drag us down even if he doesn’t send troops."
After Liu Qi said this, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed. If it is true as Liu Qi said, Jiangdong only needs to deploy troops in Changsha, and Jingzhou will have to use several times the number of troops to defend the surrounding areas. Although Jingzhou is rich, it cannot survive for a few years.
Liu Biao also changed his expression. Sun Jian died in the battle while attacking Jingzhou. Sun Ce hated him so much that if he were to seize the opportunity, Jingzhou's foundation would be ruined. At this time, Liu Biao's eyes towards Liu Qi had changed. This Liu Qi
The analysis of the current situation is really terrifying, and he can think of even the smallest possibility.
After compiling his mood, Liu Biao looked at his master and others and said: "Since the day I took over as the shepherd of Jingzhou, I have been thinking about doing something for the people and for the Han Dynasty. However, things are unpredictable. The world is in chaos and the princes are divided. Although I have no great achievements, I
In the world, he also performed his duty. From the day he took office, he pacified all the counties in Jingzhou and made the people live and work in peace and contentment. He also established education to make Jingxiang the most famous in the world. However, first there was the Su Dynasty, and Beiyu supported his troops and respected himself, and later
Sun Jian invaded, and now Zhang Xian rebels and puts the people in dire straits. These rebellious people should be punished. I want to leave the southern general to attack the rebellious and eliminate the rebellious ministers."
"My lord is wise." No one objected this time, not even Cai Mao. Everyone saw Liu Biao's determination to send troops. Although Liu Biao made mistakes and hesitated, he would not change his decision once it was made.
"Who do you think will be the leader in countering the rebellion?" Liu Biao asked, no one objected.
