Chapter 763 The hypocrite with a human face and a beast heart
Liu Bei cried loudly like this, which immediately attracted the attention of the Yan army soldiers. All the soldiers around him looked at Liu Bei.
"What are you waiting for? The emperor is about to be killed by the traitor. Why don't you save the emperor quickly?" Liu Bei was already sobbing, his voice choked with sobs.
Only then did Yan's soldiers wake up. The order was given, and several speedboats immediately sailed out of the water camp and headed towards the sunken ship.
Liu Bei drove his horse straight up the trestle, with tears streaming down his face, and anxiously looking at the river.
In the field of vision, the entire ship had sunk, leaving only the mast standing outside.
"That Yan thief is so cruel. He clearly promised to send the emperor to Hebei, but he regretted it at the last moment and plotted to kill the emperor so cruelly."
"The emperor is so pitiful. He was harmed by a traitor like this and made our king so sad."
…
There were already a lot of discussions among the Yan army behind him.
Liu Bei stood watching from a distance, with tears streaming down his face, but a sneer flashed from time to time at the corner of his mouth.
Not long after, not even the mast could be seen on the river, and the entire ship was completely swallowed by the rolling river water.
Not long after, the rescue boats returned to camp, and Chen Dao also came back in a small boat.
Stepping onto the trestle, Chen Dao banged his head and knelt down in front of Liu Bei. He bowed his head and said in shame: "I am incompetent and failed to protect the emperor. Please punish me."
"What's wrong with the emperor? What happened?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.
Chen Dao said silently: "I originally took the emperor on board the ship, but I didn't expect that the Yan thief sent assassins and sneaked into the warship secretly. They suddenly attacked the assassins on the way. I fought with my strength. The assassins couldn't help but...
I kidnapped the emperor and scuttled the ship to perish together. I was unable to save the emperor in time. Please punish me."
After all, there was still some distance from the river, and it was impossible to see clearly what was going on on the boat. The Yan army did not know what happened on the boat. Now that they heard Chen Dao's explanation, they all believed it immediately, and for a while they burst into indignation.
When Liu Bei heard the news that Liu Xie had drowned, his expression suddenly changed. His body swayed, and he suddenly fainted and fell to the side.
"Your Majesty!" Chen Dao and other Yan troops rushed forward and supported Liu Bei.
Liu Bei fainted for a while and then woke up. When he woke up, he immediately knelt down on the trestle, looked at the Yellow River, worshiped and cried.
"Your Majesty, I made a mistake. I didn't expect that Thief Yan would break his promise. If I had known this, I would have sent more people to protect you. Your Majesty, I am sorry for you."
Liu Bei's cries were so loud that all the Yan troops on the left and right were moved and burst into tears.
Even Chen Dao was stunned by Liu's sincere performance, with tears secretly in his eyes, as if Liu Xie was really harmed by Yan Liang, rather than drowned by his own hands just now.
After a while, Liu Bei's crying mood finally gradually faded away, and was replaced by endless anger.
Suddenly, Liu Bei jumped up, drew his sword and pointed it at the north bank, shouting angrily: "Yan Liang, you are a thief, you plot to kill the emperor, usurp the Han Dynasty and the country, and poison the people of the world. You are a thug who is angry with both humans and gods. The king swears to God here.
, One day, I will send my troops south to regain the Han Dynasty, and use this sword to cut off your head with my own hands to comfort the emperor's spirit in heaven!"
Liu Bei's powerful oath instantly aroused the generosity of the Yan army.
"Kill the handsome thief and restore the Han Dynasty——" Chen Dao raised his arms and shouted.
"Kill the Yan thief and restore the Han Dynasty——" The Yan troops on the left and right waved their fists and shouted wildly towards the other side.
Amidst the angry roars, Liu Bei, who turned his back to Yan Jun, had a cold flash in his tearful eyes.
The rumbling shouts of killing were quickly swallowed up by the sound of rushing water.
A few days later, the news that Liu Xie drowned in the Yellow River spread back to Luoyang.
In the Jinluan Hall, all the officials were surprised when they heard the news.
"I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect that Liu Bei would resort to such despicable means in order to become emperor."
"It seems that your Majesty is right, Liu Beigen is a hypocritical hypocrite."
"His Majesty's ability to recognize people is truly extraordinary."
The ministers of Chu State were talking a lot, and they all pointed their finger at Liu Bei.
Once upon a time, many ministers in the Chu Kingdom regarded Liu Bei as an enemy, but they were all confused by Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness. Now, the total annihilation of Liu Xie's clan has completely allowed those people to see through Liu Bei's nature.
"According to our detailed report, when Liu Bei drowned Liu Xie's family, he still cried loudly on the shore and slandered that our great Chu killed Liu Xie's family." Pang Tong handed over the report.
Yan Liang sneered, "The tears of this big-eared thief are really worthless. A big old man cries whenever he wants. The tears from his nose have bought many hearts."
"Your Majesty, do you dare to do what the big-eared thief does? For such an insidious villain, I don't think we can let him succeed easily. We need to take some measures." Fa Zheng added.
Yan Liang nodded slightly: "Xiao Zhi, do you have any suggestions?"
Fa Zheng cupped his hands and said: "I believe that Your Majesty will order Hebei to make a detailed investigation to expose Liu Bei's shameless behavior, so that the scholars and people in Hebei will know that Liu Bei brutally killed the Shanyang Gong clan in order to become emperor.
Let the people of Hebei see clearly the true face of Liu Bei."
Although Liu Bei cried on the bank of the Yellow River and accused Yan Liang of being the one responsible for Liu Xie's death, it is an indisputable fact that Liu Xie's family died on Liu Bei's boat.
If the secrets spread everywhere, the situation of public opinion will indeed be unfavorable to Liu Bei.
Thinking of this, Yan Liang waved his hand and said: "What Xiaozhi said is true. Let's handle this matter according to Xiaozhi's plan."
The plan was decided, the court meeting was over, and Yan Liang withdrew from the court.
After retiring from the court, Yan Liang was in a good mood, so he left the palace and passed through the corridor, and the imperial driver went straight to Jinque Terrace.
There is such a person who must be a little concerned about Liu Xie's ending. Yan Liang's visit to Jinque Terrace is a chance for her to completely cut off the remaining worries.
Not long after, the car drove by the magnificent Jinque Terrace.
The construction of Jinque Terrace took nearly half a year, involving more than 50,000 people from Henan County, and cost a lot of money.
The completion of the Golden Bird Tower is far superior to that of Yingtian's Bronze Bird Tower in terms of scale and magnificence and sophistication.
Yan Liang's beauties, who were not qualified to become concubines, were all moved to the Golden Bird Platform for Yan Liang to enjoy at any time.
In that gorgeous pavilion, Fu Shou was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
At this moment, Fu Shou has taken off the queen's clothes, but is wearing a thin coat that is half hidden and half exposed, which is quite "refreshing".
Such "shameful" clothes are the standard attire of every woman on the golden stage.
Because Fu Shou, like the other women on this golden stage, has become Yan Liang's pleasure object in his leisure time. Yan Liang likes to dress them like this, so that it is exciting enough.
"I heard that he was sent to Hebei. I wonder if he has crossed the river now. If Liu Bei still cares about his uncle-nephew relationship, he can be considered out of the sea of suffering..."
Fu Shou murmured to himself, his thoughts far away.
While I was thinking, someone outside the pavilion sang: "Your Majesty has arrived~~"
Your Majesty? Is Yan Liang here?
Fu Shou woke up from his fugue, paused, and hurriedly moved outside the pavilion to greet Yan Liang.
When he stepped outside the door, Yan Liang was already a few steps away. Fu Shou and all the maids knelt down and said respectfully: "I pay my respects to your Majesty."
When he said the words "Meet Your Majesty", Fu Shou's tone was trembling and seemed quite unnatural.
You know, not long ago, it was Liu Xie who could enjoy these four words.
Now, in a short period of time, things have changed and the person she calls her majesty has become Yan Liang.
This humble warrior, this arrogant man who forcibly occupied himself, this rebellious traitor who took away the throne of the Han Dynasty.
It was this man who turned her from a noble queen into a canary with no name or status and could only be played with by him.
Knowing this, Fu Shou did not dare to make any resistance.
Yan Liang's cruelty and majesty had completely conquered her. Fu Shou knew that if she didn't obey, not only would she die in an ugly way, but her Fu family would also be destroyed.
Fu Shou could only admit the cruel reality, put aside his noble dignity as a queen, and come to greet Yan Liang in a humble way.
"Get up." Yan Liang stretched out his hand to help Fu Shou up, then grabbed her waist and hugged him into the pavilion.
The maids in the pavilion were busy one after another. Some went to pass the meal, while others laid out brocade beds and jade quilts, burned incense and candles.
In the pavilion, a lively atmosphere was quickly created.
Everyone understood that when the emperor came here today, he would of course celebrate his birthday. They created a good atmosphere and the emperor felt comfortable. When they were happy to reward him, everyone benefited.
When the food and wine were served, Fu Shou, who rarely served tea or water, could only lower his body and serve Yan Liang with a smile on his face.
After a few rounds of drinking, Yan Liang suddenly said: "I am here today, and I have another news to tell you."
"News?" Fu Shou was startled, "Your Majesty, please tell me?"
"Liu Xie is dead."
Fu Shou's hand holding the cup suddenly froze, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Those horrified eyes couldn't help but look at Yan Liang, as if he thought it was Yan Liang who killed Liu Xie
Yan Liang said calmly: "I always keep my word. If I tell you to spare Liu Xie's life, I will not kill him."
"Then, how did he die?" Fu Shou asked tremblingly.
Yan Liang drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "Liu Xie was drowned by Liu Bei in a shipwreck on his way to Hebei. Liu Bei not only killed Liu Xie, but also his entire family."
The shocking news instantly shocked Fu Shou's delicate body, and an incredible surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Liu...Liu Bei, why did he do this?" Fu Shou asked in disbelief.
Yan Liang snorted coldly: "You are also a smart man. Why can't you figure this out? The big-eared thief wants to become emperor. How can he successfully realize his dream of becoming emperor if he doesn't kill Liu Xie?"
One word woke up the dreamer, and in an instant, Fu Shou suddenly understood.
After being shocked for a long time, Fu Shou bit his red lips with his teeth and murmured: "I didn't expect that this Liu Bei would be such a hypocrite with a human face and an animal heart!"
