The wild laughter suddenly stopped, and when Yan Liang turned around and sat down, his eyes were like sharp blades, showing a coldness and chill.
Liu Xie and Fu Shou were both slightly shocked, frightened by Yan Liang's murderous aura.
"The foreplay is over, it's time to get down to business." Yan Liang drank the remaining wine in the glass and put the glass on the table.
The "pop" sound only shook Liu Xie and Fu Shou to move.
Yan Liang stared at Liu Xie: "I mean Liu Xie, the king wants to discuss something with you now. Are you interested in hearing it?"
Yan Liang didn't even address him as "Your Majesty", but called Liu Xie by his first name. This contempt and humiliation was obvious.
"I don't know, what does King Chu want to discuss with me?" Liu Xie could only pretend to turn a blind eye to this humiliation.
Yan Liang played with the wine glass in his hand and said calmly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. The king just wants you to abdicate the throne to the king. I wonder if you are willing."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xie's expression changed drastically, and he was frozen there instantly, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Fu Shou, who was horrified, immediately shouted: "How dare you, in the name of the Emperor, how dare you..."
"Shut up, I!" Yan Liang suddenly shouted, "When a man is talking here, you, a womanizer, have no place to interrupt. If you dare to say another word, the king will take off your clothes."
Yan Liang said that the foreplay is over and it is time to get down to business. Whatever the business is, it will naturally be straightforward.
At this time, Yan Liang was completely upset. He didn't even bother to save face for Liu Xie and his wife, so he just became violent.
Fu Shou's beauty was shocked. She never expected that Yan Liang could be so vulgar, dare to speak so rudely to her, and say such shameless words.
Fu Shou was angry and ashamed, but he was so impressed that he didn't dare to say another word, for fear that Yan Liang would go crazy and really strip himself naked.
At that time, the empress, who was a majestic mother, was displayed naked in front of everyone. Where was the dignity of the man, and how could she, the Fu family, have the dignity to live.
"That's good." After drinking, Yan Liang raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and turned his eyes to Liu Xie.
"You and I both know that you, the emperor, have no soldiers and no power. You are just a puppet. You have been oppressed by Cao Cao these years, and you must have suffered a lot. As long as you pass the throne to the king obediently, the king will ensure that you become a rich family.
"My dear, I have good clothes and good food. You can live the rest of your life in peace, and you don't have to live in fear anymore. Isn't that great? What do you think?"
Yan Liang was like educating a child, explaining the truth to Liu Xie in an inquisitive and persuasive manner.
Liu Xie couldn't listen at all, his head was buzzing.
When he was controlled by Cao Cao, Liu Xie was worried day and night that Cao Cao would usurp his throne. However, although Cao Cao forced him, he did so step by step.
But the Yan Liang in front of him had only been in Chang'an City for less than a month. He had no preparation at all, and he was so eager to force himself to give up the throne. Liu Xie was not mentally prepared at all.
After being shocked for a long time, Liu Xie came back to his senses. But he didn't know how to deal with Yan Liang's straightforward request.
At this time, Fu Shou couldn't bear it anymore and ventured to say: "The country of Han Dynasty belongs to the Liu family, how can I let you have a foreign surname?"
"The world belongs to the people of the world. How can it be that it belongs to your surname? Back then, this world belonged to Xiang Yu and the state of Chu. It was not the world that your ancestor Liu Bang took from Xiang Yu. Now you are an unworthy descendant.
, and then gave up the world of the Han Dynasty to the king's great Chu, wouldn't this just prove the principle of heaven's reincarnation?"
Yan Liang didn't get angry and easily dismissed Fu Shou's remarks with some sarcasm.
Fu Shou's face turned red, but he said: "Emperor Gao's benevolence and virtue are admired by the world. To conquer the world is to obey the destiny of heaven and obey the people's will. How can you be compared with Emperor Gao?"
"Shit benevolence, Liu Bang was not a ruffian at the beginning, and he did not take over the world by ruthless means. He had shitty benevolence towards the people of the world." Yan Liang was very "vulgar" in his sarcasm.
Liu Xie'er felt angry when he heard that his ancestor was humiliated, but he did not dare to say a word.
Fu Shou was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and he opened his mouth to scold Yan Liang.
Yan Liang didn't bother to talk nonsense to her anymore and shouted coldly: "Where is Zhou Zifeng?"
"I'm here!" Zhou Cang responded and stepped forward.
Yan Liang pointed at Fu Shou and said, "If this woman dares to open her mouth and utter even a word, you can immediately take off her clothes without asking the king for permission. Do you understand?"
"I obey the order." Zhou Cang rolled up his sleeves and immediately took off his clothes.
Fu Shou was humiliated and threatened again, and he was full of indignation, but he was frightened by Zhou Cang, so he had no choice but to close his mouth, gritting his teeth and not daring to say any more.
Only then was Yan Liang satisfied, and Blade's gaze turned to the hesitant Liu Xie again.
"Liu Xie, if you're a man, please tell me something sweet. Are you going to give up the throne or not?" Yan Liang asked urgently.
Liu Xie struggled for a long time, but then asked cautiously: "If I don't give in, what are you going to do, King Chu?"
"Why do you need to ask? If you don't give in, the king will naturally kill you, kill your whole family, and then make himself emperor." Yan Liang told Liu Xie straightforwardly about his cruel methods.
Liu Xie's hands and legs trembled upon hearing this, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
At this time, Liu Xie thought of Cao Cao's goodness, and felt that compared with Yan Liang, Cao Cao was as kind to him as a loving father.
After suffering for a long time, Liu Xie said: "The Han Dynasty has been in power for four hundred years. After all, it is the hard work of our ancestors. I wonder if the King of Chu can give me a few days to think about it."
The public opinion about proclaiming himself emperor has not yet reached its peak. Yan Liang summoned Liu Xie today, just to scare him by breaking the window paper, without any hope of forcing him to agree immediately.
Yan Liang thought for a while and then said: "The king is not the kind of person who imposes things on others. I will give you a few days to think about it. You go back and think about it carefully. Whether you want to save the lives of the whole family or stick to the false name of emperor, you can decide for yourself.
Bar."
After saying that, Yan Liang waved his hand and gave orders to see the guests off.
As if he had received an amnesty, Liu Xie hurriedly said goodbye and fled the Prince of Chu's Mansion with his ashamed and angry wife in panic.
Driving back to the palace, Liu Xie tried his best to stay calm along the way, while Fu Shou remained silent.
After returning to the palace, the two of them returned to the bedroom. The door was closed, leaving only Liu Xie and Fu Shou.
At this time, there was no one else around. Liu Xie felt his legs go weak, and he collapsed and sat down, panting heavily, as if he had collapsed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?" Fu Shou asked in panic and concern.
"Water, water, give me water." Liu Xie begged in a hoarse voice.
Fu Shou hurriedly made a glass of water and held it in front of Liu Xie. Liu Xie grabbed it and drank it all in one breath.
As the cold water entered his throat, Liu Xie's mood gradually relaxed a little. With Fu Shou's help, he reluctantly stood up and sat back on the couch.
As soon as Liu Xie sat down, Fu Shou knelt down in front of him.
"It's all my concubine's fault. If it hadn't been for my concubine's plan to lure the wolf into the house, His Majesty would not have been so humiliated by the traitor, and the Han Dynasty would not have been in danger of overthrowing. I am unworthy of your Majesty and deserve to die."
Fu Shou knelt on the ground and begged Liu Xie with tears in his eyes.
Liu Xiekong sat there, looking at his wife who was accusing him, with a look of complaint on his pale face.
"What's the use of saying this now? Get up." Liu Xie waved his hand feebly.
Fu Shou stood up in tears and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, now that Yan thief is so pressing to usurp the country of Han Dynasty, do you really want to agree to it?"
"I don't know. Let's count it as one day." Liu Xie sighed helplessly.
At this time, Liu Xie had completely run out of ideas and could only procrastinate by waiting to die.
Fu Shou had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "Yan Thief, hateful, hateful -"
…
Thousands of miles away, Yecheng.
In the palace, Liu Bei was also pacing anxiously, with a frown on his face.
The information that Chang'an city was broken, Cao Cao fled to the west, and the Han Emperor fell into the hands of Yan Liang had been sent to Yecheng a month ago.
Liu Bei never expected that Yan Liang's attack power would be so powerful that Cao Cao could not survive even one winter.
Now that Chang'an has been lost, in Liu Bei's view, Cao Cao's fall is only a matter of time.
After Cao Cao's fall, who will be Yan Liang's next target?
Only he, Liu Bei.
At this moment, Liu Bei had a deep understanding of what it means to "die with cold lips and cold teeth".
Once upon a time, after fighting with Cao Cao for many years, Liu Bei thought about Cao Cao's death all the time, but at this time, he hoped more than anyone else that Cao Cao would live longer and that he could delay Yan Liang for him.
When he was melancholy, his own soldiers came to report that Chen Qun was outside seeking to see him, so Liu Bei ordered him to come in.
Chen Qun was originally Cao Cao's envoy, traveling between Chang'an and Yecheng, and was responsible for harmonizing the relationship between the two families. After the state was returned to Liu Bei, Chen Qun was isolated in Hebei and had no way to return to Chang'an. Therefore, Liu Bei, who had been working in Xuzhou for a few days,
The subordinates belonged to celebrities, so they simply surrendered to Liu Bei.
Not long after, Chen Qun entered, and the principal and ministers met each other.
"I think Chang'an must already know the news about the fall of Chang'an," Liu Bei said.
Chen Qun cupped his hands and said: "Of course I know, and I also heard that officials from all over the Chu State are coming to the court one after another to persuade Yan Liang to proclaim the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Bei's brows suddenly wrinkled again.
"The Yan thief has great ambitions, and it is most likely inevitable that he will usurp the Han Dynasty and become emperor. However, the emperor of Chang'an represents the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. If Yan thief forces the emperor to usurp the throne in the form of abdication, his act of usurping the Han Dynasty will
Then it will put on the cloak of legality, which is what the king has been worried about these days."
Hearing Liu Bei's worries, Chen Qun smiled: "Why should your king be worried? I do think that if Yan Thief really deposes the emperor and usurps the Han Dynasty and becomes emperor, this may not be a bad thing for your king."
"How do you say this?" Liu Bei looked shocked.
Chen Qun said calmly: "As soon as the emperor of Chang'an is deposed, the king will become the legitimate seat of the Liu family. At that time, won't the king be able to legitimately ascend to the throne and become the emperor, and continue to preserve the Han Dynasty?"
As soon as he said these words, Liu Bei's body shook violently, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
