Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 702 Spreading Rumors Again and Liu Bei Wrath

A few days after the wedding in Hanzhong Palace, news of the Queen's death suddenly spread, causing the people on the streets of Chengdu to sigh.

The funeral was presided over by Tai Chang Lai Gong. He found that Lan Tian in the mourning hall had a stern face, and seemed to have been relieved of his sadness. All the officials in Chengdu came to mourn the funeral without exception.

Gan Qian had no other relatives. According to Lan Tian's opinion, Liu Bei forbade officials from other places to come to Chengdu to mourn, so as not to affect the governance of various places.

The mourning period was originally very peaceful, and the mourners all comforted Liu Bei and Lan Tian, ​​but something went wrong in the middle.

A few days later, rumors appeared on the streets of Chengdu again.

It is said that Gan Qian's death will make Wu Cheng the queen, and it is said that Liu Bei has long wanted to abolish the elder and establish the younger, and Liu Chan's crown prince will soon be lost.
Liu Bei was furious when he heard the news, because these detailed operations were also talking about the reserve position. In addition to implicating Wu Cheng and the two young sons, they also deliberately drew the contradictions to the important minister Lan Tian.

During the court meeting in the palace, Zhuge Liang went out to report: "Your Majesty, this rumor must be the result of the secret work that slipped through the net last time. I have already arranged for the city defense yamen to send more people to investigate from house to house. I believe that all these secret works can be wiped out."

"These traitors have a heart to punish. Gu thinks that there are not enough people in the city defense yamen. Zilong, transfer your city guard battalion to join in the arrest. Within three days, Gu will be fined and brought to justice. These villains dare to make trouble in Chengdu. Don't blame Gu Let's kill." Liu Bei yelled loudly.

"Wei." Zhao Yun responded with cupped fists.

"Your Majesty, judging from the previous situation, the enemy's secret operations are very cunning, and they use money to instigate scoundrels to show off. If they wantonly kill in Chengdu, it may cause the people to panic. That's the trick of Cao Pi and Sun Quan." Fazheng cupped his hands and advised .

"These traitors have repeatedly despised Gu. If you don't give them a shock, won't it be endless in the future? Ziyu, don't you think so?" Liu Bei turned his head and asked Lantian.

Lan Tian had to answer: "Instigating rumors is a normal state of war, but rumors only stop at the wise. Your Majesty does not need to be overly concerned. Your minister agrees with the views of the French military division. There is no need to massacre ignorant people. You can strictly follow the "Shu Ke" punishment."

"If the crime is punished according to "Shu Ke", most of them will be exiled to Nanzhong. It is really difficult to dispel the hatred in my heart. I am worried that this matter will never end. What can I do?" Liu Bei asked.

"Since the enemy country's secret operations are hidden deeply, it is better to mobilize the power of the people. Your Majesty can carry out a sweep of black and evil, and concentrate on attacking the ruffians in the city. It can last for a month or dozens of days, so that you can dig out those who are hiding. If you work carefully, you can also eliminate the cancer in the city." Lan Tian continued to offer advice.

After hearing this, Pang Tong gave Zhuge Liang a look, as if to say that Lan Ziyu could really keep calm, and the strategy he offered just now sounds like it should be effective, but Dali himself is busy.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?" Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang for his opinion again.

Zhuge Liang replied: "Ziyu's words are very kind, and the people in the city will definitely applaud and applaud for sweeping up the black and evil."

"Just do what Ziyu said just now." Liu Bei ended the meeting with a wave of his hand.

In the next few days, the streets of Chengdu began to search and arrest carefully, and by the way, the villains who were entrenched in the shadows were dealt with. Groups of villains were arrested and arrested. Pang Tong personally sat in the Dali Temple to try the case. Hundreds of rumormongers were brought to justice. , If you work for the enemy country, you will be decisive.

Because the actions were as fast as thunder, those rumors were quickly subsided, but Wu Yan had a high chance of being appointed as the queen, so the Wu family was still pushed to the forefront. Because Lantian was in Chengdu and did not leave, Yuan Cong, who had a good relationship with him Pai and Jingzhou faction secretly released huge pressure on the Wu family.

Wu Yi approached Fazheng from the Dongzhou School for advice. Fazheng suggested that the Wu family should be as loyal as Liu Beibiao as soon as possible, because although Lan Tian's temper is very gentle, when it comes to the stability of the crown prince, he might take some protective measures.

With Lan Tian's current status and his extraordinary resourcefulness, his methods are unacceptable to the Wu family.

Wu Yi obeyed Fazheng's plan, and expressed in front of Liu Bei that Wu Cheng had no intention of fighting, and would absolutely support the crown prince Liu Chan, and suggested that Sun Shangxiang be conferred the title of queen, so that Lantian could guard Jiaozhou with peace of mind, otherwise it would easily cause estrangement between the monarch and his ministers, and the Wu family would also vulnerable to indiscriminate disaster.

Because of Jiangdong Sun Quan's relationship, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Bei to make Sun Shangxiang his queen. After meeting Wu Yi, he also fell into deep thought. Although the sweeping up of evils went smoothly, it doesn't mean that Lantian really doesn't mind.

Liu Bei called Lan Tian to his side, and said straight to the point: "The two rumors in Chengdu pointed to the Wu family, which made Ziyuan (Wu Yi) a frightened bird. I just found me and cried for a long time. I don't want to have such a big gap between my own people. Ziyu Is there any way?"

"As long as the king's heart is as strong as iron, why should he be afraid of rumors from the outside world? I really have no hostility towards the Wu family." Lan Tian shook his head and smiled wryly.

"The Queen's position has been vacated. It is inevitable that some people will have unreasonable thoughts. Gu will call a group of ministers tomorrow and decide to leave the Queen's position permanently vacant for the Gan family. What does Ziyu think?" Liu Bei asked.

"Maybe it's inappropriate? Your Majesty will inherit the throne in the future, and the vacancy of the successor is not good for the country. If you really announce such an order, you will be suspected by all the officials. Why don't you let it be?" Lan Tian continued to shake his head.

Liu Bei frowned, and said to himself: "Then this matter will never end?"

"Everything happens for a reason. I'm in Chengdu right now. It's such a coincidence that sister's death has given the secret agents the opportunity to spread rumors and make trouble. The longer I stay in Chengdu, the more people with ulterior motives become suspicious. So I plan to return to Jiaozhou as soon as possible. " Lan Tian nodded and made up his mind.

"The queen's funeral is not over yet, if Ziyu leaves now" Liu Bei hesitated to speak.

"The friendship between sister and brother is all in the heart. I entrust my body to the country, so I can no longer be confined to a small family. I should put the country's affairs first, and the king's support for the Han family." Lan Tian replied solemnly.

After hearing this, Liu Bei was very moved. He went outside the gate of the palace and asked someone to call Chen Dao, whispered something in the other's ear, and then changed the topic to Han Xiandi.

A few days ago, the latest news came from Jingzhou. Emperor Xian Liu Xie offered sacrifices at the Gaozu Temple, and told his ancestors that he was unable to inherit the throne. Zhang Yin, the doctor of the censor, was sent to carry the emperor's imperial seal and order to give the throne to the king of Wei. Cao Pi.

At the end of October last year, Cao Pi ascended the altar and received the emperor's seal and ribbon as the emperor. He honored Han Xiandi Liu Xie as the Duke of Shanyang, and named Liu Xie's four sons as Liehou.

The survival of Emperor Xian Liu Xie made Liu Bei's succession to the throne a legal obstacle. Most of the officials under his command hoped that Liu Bei would become emperor. In addition to remembering the Han Dynasty, they also wanted to gain the merits of Conglong's founding of the country.

"Brother-in-law, you can rest assured that Liu Xie is now the Duke of Shanyang. Even if he was forced to abdicate to Cao Pi, he is still a major sinner in the Han Dynasty. Brother-in-law will bring down the world in the future. What face does he have to fight for the throne? Besides, there is him on the persuasion table. Isn't your name more justifiable?"

Lan Tianxin said how could the last emperor of the dynasty compete with the founding emperor?At that time, only by cooperating well can we leave a happy ending for our children and grandchildren.
