Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 333 Liu Yu's strategy, the three schools jointly promoted Liu Bei

"Bo An Gong, Bei Shi has no such intention!"

"If Bei takes advantage of the emperor's first death and succeeds to the throne, what will the people of the world think of Bei?"

"This is inappropriate, please don't have any doubts about Mr. Bo'an."

"If Mr. Bo'an is worried about being held hostage by Cao Cao, he is willing to obey Mr. Bo'an and wipe out the traitors for Mr. Bo'an."

Liu Bei's face was serious, and he was not secretly happy at Liu Yu's words.

Emperor, this is very hot!
Liu Bei thinks that fame is not enough to win the whole world's heartfelt support. If he is greedy for the throne, all past actions will be deliberately magnified by those who are interested.

Seeing that Liu Bei's eyes were the same, Liu Yu could only sigh secretly.

"Xuande doesn't want to succeed because of his reputation, and the old man doesn't want to ruin his reputation and become a puppet. We have to think carefully about this matter before we can deal with it." Liu Yu's eyes were deep, thinking secretly.

The arrival of Liu Yu gave Liu Bei the opportunity to raise troops into Xudu.

In Xudu City, both Cao Cao and the ministers, civil and military, all welcomed Liu Yu's arrival very much.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Although Liu Yu had to leave Youzhou to live in seclusion in Zhuxu County because of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's rebellion, Liu Yu's reputation did not decrease because of this. Instead, because of Liu Xie's death, he became the most famous clan member in the world today. One who is qualified to succeed the emperor.

In terms of qualifications, reputation, and virtue, Liu Yu deserves it all!
After Liu Yu arrived in Xu Capital City, he kept the door closed to thank the guests and did not talk to anyone.

Regardless of whether you are a member of Cao Cao or an old minister of Liu Xie, Liu Yu will never see you behind closed doors. This makes the hearts of the ministers, ministers, and military officials in Xu Capital City feel an unspeakable depression.

"Liu Bo'an doesn't meet with everyone. It seems that he is unwilling to take the throne." Cao Cao summoned everyone to discuss in the Sikong Mansion.

The original intention was to recommend Liu Yu as emperor. Cao Cao not only appointed his cronies to test him many times, but even visited him in person, but Liu Yu refused.

While this made Cao Cao a little annoyed, he also felt waves of worry.

The death of Liu Xie made Cao Cao's greatest reliance disappear.

Originally on the weakest side of Yuan, Cao and Liu, Cao Cao, without the emperor, is essentially no different from other officials in the court, such as Ma Rixun, Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and others.

It's just a public minister with a private army!
Relatively speaking, Cao Cao has more private soldiers.

Therefore, Cao Cao was the most eager to establish a new emperor.

"Zhu Xuhou's official career has been ups and downs for many years, so he can clearly see the power struggle in Xudu. It's not surprising that he wants to stay out of it." Guo Jia pondered: "At present, we can only let Zhu Xuhou preside over the national funeral as soon as possible, and then take advantage of the national funeral. The Duke of Ming led the people to support Zhu Xuhou as the emperor."

Cao Cao nodded: "Tomorrow is an auspicious day, so if Liu Bo'an wants to stay behind closed doors, he can't help it."

In addition to Cao Cao, Ma Rixi, Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and other Liu Xie's old ministers also moved in private and secretly formed alliances. They wanted to take advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne to hold as many positions as possible to control the power in the court, so as to avoid becoming a monopoly of Cao Cao's family again. situation.

State funeral.

Liu Yu looked solemn and presided over the funeral step by step, and there seemed to be no surprises.

However, Liu Yu's solemn attitude gradually changed when the sacrificial speech began.

"Alas, alas—"

Sorrowful words resounded throughout the funeral, and Liu Yu's cries became louder and louder.

Affected by Liu Yu, among the officials and ministers, there were also those who beat their breasts, howled and fell to the ground, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became gloomy.

"Not good~"

Cao Cao was the first to notice the strangeness. Liu Yu and all the ministers were crying so sadly. How could he elect Liu Yu as emperor?

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he gave Dong Zhao a look.

Dong Zhao understood and was about to step forward when he was surprised to see Liu Yu spurting out a mouthful of donated blood.

"Your Majesty, the old minister mourns—"

Liu Yu's son, Liu He, hurried forward to support Liu Yu, and shouted: "Father, father! Liu Zongzheng, father is too sad, please trouble Liu Zongzheng to continue presiding over the state ceremony. He wants to take father to seek medical treatment."

After finishing speaking, Liu He ignored everyone, carried Liu Yu on his back and ran away without giving the ministers any time to react.

"This--"

Liu Yu's sudden coma directly disrupted the plans of Cao Cao and the ministers.

However, Liu Yu can leave, but Cao Cao and the ministers cannot. The funeral is not over yet.

Liu Bei in the field was also surprised.

"When Mr. Bo'an came, he didn't see any fatigue or illness. Why did he suddenly vomit blood and faint today? Could it be that he was really overwhelmed with sorrow?"

Although he had doubts, Liu Bei didn't think much about it and followed the ministers to complete the funeral procession.

Cao Cao saw it clearly.

What vomiting blood and fainting is clearly Liu Yu's plan to delay the attack!
"Old man Liu Yu, this was on purpose!"

"Before the funeral, thank the guests behind closed doors. During the funeral, he vomited blood and fainted. After the funeral, he will definitely take the opportunity to thank the guests behind closed doors, and then return to Qingzhou to recover from his illness. Then he can perfectly avoid proclaiming himself emperor."

"What a cunning and cunning!"

Although he saw Liu Yu's purpose clearly, Cao Cao was helpless at this time.

Because of Liu Xie's death, Liu Yu was so sad that he vomited blood and fainted. Should he urge Liu Yu to become emperor at this time?
The funeral is over.

Everyone came to Liu Yu's residence one after another and asked about Liu Yu's condition.

But as Cao Cao expected, Liu Yu thanked guests behind closed doors again. Liu He looked sad at the door: "My father is too sad. Everything in the court depends on the ministers."

The crowd was silent.

Without Liu Yu, who will preside over the government?
Cao Cao?Liu Bei?Liu Biao?Or other ministers?
"Xuande, you are familiar with Duke Bo'an, why don't you go and ask?" Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei had been standing behind others, so he came over to ask.

Liu Bei was not fooled, so he shook his head and said, "It is better for me not to disturb Mr. Bo'an when he is ill. I have something to do. Please forgive me, Sikong."

After speaking, Liu Bei left Liu Yu's residence directly to avoid more people asking.

And inside the house.

Liu Yu was reading a book quietly in the room, and he didn't seem to be seriously ill if he vomited blood and fainted.

Soon.

Liu He came from outside: "Father, all the officials have been outside the door and refused to leave. I'm afraid it's not a good idea to pretend to be sick."

Liu Yu chuckled lightly and said, "It's not a good strategy. You have to pretend to be sick. I want to live a few more years, and I don't want to be a puppet in Xudu."

Liu He didn't understand: "If my father is afraid of Cao Cao, why not let General Zuo defend Xu Du?"

Liu Yu put down the scroll and sighed softly: "He'er, are you also attached to that position?"

Liu He hastily denied it: "Father misunderstood, and my child has no such intentions!"

Liu Yu nodded: "It's good that you understand, that's not a good position!"

"Since the Second Emperor Huan Ling, the overt and covert fighting between the emperor and his ministers has never stopped."

"To put it bluntly, the officials are electing an outstanding son from the clan to succeed him. To put it bluntly, it is because the clan being elected has no foundation."

"Therefore, the Second Emperor Huanling supported the eunuchs, sold their officials, and suppressed the ministers who claimed to be clean."

"So there was the trend of selling officials and nobles, the disaster of party imprisonment, and the chaos of ten permanent servants."

"The court's open and covert struggles also made the struggles among officials, aristocratic families, and powerful people in various states and counties more and more obvious, and the people who could not bear the suffering rose up, so there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

"The court was chaotic, and the frontier soldiers could not get rewards and promotions, so Dong Zhuo entered the capital again, and the young emperor was abolished and a new emperor was established. The competition between the various forces became more and more fierce, and then the big man became the former Zhou and the former Qin. The Han loses its deer, and the whole world chases after it."

"It's also fortunate that there is Liu Bei in the clan, otherwise there would have been no fate for a great man in this world."

"Compared to the old man, Xuande has the demeanor of a great ancestor, the appearance of a glorious warrior, and now he has a strong army. He is the best candidate to inherit the great line."

"If Xuande succeeds to the throne, he can get rid of the authoritarian people like Cao Cao internally, and destroy the rebellious ones like Yuan Shao externally."

"It's a pity that Xuande didn't dare to step over the pond because of his reputation!"

Liu Hejing listened to Liu Yu's teachings and offered advice: "Since father intends to support General Zuo, why not release the news secretly?"

Liu Yu was slightly surprised: "What good strategy does He'er have?"

Liu He whispered a few times, and Liu Yu clapped his hands and praised: "He'er has such an idea, I don't have to worry about it."

Soon.

Liu He came to the door and invited the Zongzheng Liu Biao and the former Zongzheng Liu Ai to enter, and lied that Liu Yu woke up from a coma and wanted to call the two clan members to discuss matters.

Liu Biao suddenly became numb.

Under the urging of everyone, Liu Biao and Liu He came to Liu Yu's room. Seeing Liu Yu reading a book in the room, Liu Biao shook his head secretly and said, "Mr. Bo'an, you are pure here."

Liu Yu said with a smile: "I don't do this, the group of ministers outside should not directly let the old man wear the dragon robe!"

Liu Ai looked at Liu Yu and said bluntly: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and please ask Mr. Bo'an to take charge of the overall situation, otherwise Xudu will fall into the hands of Cao thief again."

Liu Biao also sighed softly: "Mr. Bo'an, if you really don't want to be emperor, why don't you choose a virtuous clan?"

Liu Yu stared at Liu Biao and asked, "Is Jing Sheng interested?"

Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Biao can't even defend Jingzhou. If he becomes emperor, he will be just a plaything in Cao's hands."

Liu Yu glanced back and forth between Liu Biao and Liu Ai, and said slowly, "I have someone to choose, and I would like to ask you two for reference."

Liu Ai's eyes were serious: "I don't know who Bo'an is referring to?"

Liu Biao secretly had a guess.

Liu Yu paused slightly and said: "The three of us have all held the position of Zongzheng. I don't need to elaborate on the virtuous and talented people in this clan. You two also know it in your hearts."

"After careful consideration, I believe that among this clan, only General Liu Bei of the Left is qualified to succeed to the throne!"

"I don't know you two, what do you think?"

Liu Bei?

Liu Biao's expression did not change, obviously he had guessed it a long time ago, but Liu Ai was taken aback.

Although Liu Ai admires Liu Bei, admiration does not mean that Liu Bei should be called emperor.

After all, from the beginning, Liu Ai was Liu Xie's confidant, and had been doing the task of wooing Liu Bei.

a long time.

After carefully comparing the people in the clan, Liu Ai said slowly, "As Duke Bo'an said, General Zuo is indeed the one in the clan who is most qualified to inherit the throne."

"It's just that, based on Ai's understanding of Cao Cao and the court officials, they will definitely not support General Zuo!"

Liu Yu snorted coldly: "In this world, when will it be the turn of a group of rebellious officials and thieves fighting for power and profit to decide who is the emperor?"

"The three of us have all been Zongzheng, who among the clan is most suitable to succeed the throne, is there anyone who knows more about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty than we do?"

"If Xuande proclaims himself emperor, he can justifiably wipe out internal thieves and external rebels. Besides, who else can take on this great task?"

a long time.

Liu Biao and Liu Ai looked at each other, and bowed their hands to Liu Yu one after another: "I am willing to listen to Bo'an Gong!"

Seeing Liu Biao and Liu Ai's support, Liu Yu said again: "I am seriously ill now. I just woke up and fainted again. I'd like you to inform the civil and military officials."

Liu Biao and Liu Ai understood that Liu Yu was about to commit adultery.

After all, Liu Yu, who was seriously ill, elected Liu Bei as emperor in a short time of sobriety, which shows Liu Yu's recognition of Liu Bei.

Immediately.

The two walked out of Liu Yu's residence and informed the officials that Liu Yu had elected Liu Bei as emperor.

As soon as the news came out, all the officials suddenly exploded, and the voices of opposition kept coming and going.

"Liu Bei? No way! Liu Bei must not succeed to the throne!"

"How can Liu Bei be so virtuous, how dare he touch the throne? This old man will never agree."

"Liu Bei is not after Guangwu, and he cannot succeed to the throne according to the law and reason."

"I'm going to see Lord Bo'an, and ask Lord Bo'an to succeed him to the throne!"

"The world can't live without Liu Bei, but it can't live without Duke Bo'an."

"Duke Bo'an has been in Qingzhou for a long time, is he threatened by Liu Bei? Where is Liu Bei?"

"I'll go to Liu Bei's barracks and let Liu Bei elect Duke Bo'an as emperor!"

"Yes, we firmly disagree with Liu Bei proclaiming himself emperor!"

"."

Liu Ai looked at Liu Biao with a rather helpless expression.

After staying with Chao Wenwu for a long time, Liu Ai naturally knows the personalities of this group of people.

"It's okay, just follow Mr. Bo'an's plan, and we don't need to intervene too much." Liu Biao looked very calm.

Liu Biao recognized Liu Bei's ability.

After all, from a small county lieutenant of Gaotang, to the current General Zuo, Qingzhou Mu, Huangshu, and Jiajie, who oversee the affairs of the Qing, Yan, Xu and Yang four states, no matter in terms of skill or fame, they all have the qualifications of a troubled Emperor Wu.

Only such a character can suppress the old officials in the court, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao!
in the crowd.

Cao Cao clenched his fists.

"This old man Liu Yu dared to elect Liu Bei as emperor!"

Cao Cao's eyes were bloodshot. These days, Cao Cao has been suffering from headaches due to the death of Liu Xie, and he suffers from anxiety and insomnia every night.

I thought I could elect Liu Yu as emperor, but I never thought that Liu Yu not only refused to be emperor, but also elected Liu Bei as emperor.

If Liu Beiruo became the emperor, how would Cao Cao deal with himself?

"Liu Bei, without Cao's consent, you can never claim to be emperor!"

"Humph!"

Cao Cao shook his sleeves and left, with a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Outside Liu Bei's barracks, an angry minister called for Liu Bei to come out.

However, in this situation, how dare Liu Bei go out of camp?

"Everyone, how should Bei deal with the outraged people?" Liu Bei looked bitter, feeling very helpless in his heart for Liu Yu's nomination.

Zhang Fei couldn't help it anymore: "Since Duke Bo'an has elected my brother as emperor, why don't he proclaim himself emperor and attack Yuan Ni with righteousness?"

Liu Bei scolded lightly: "Third brother, don't mess around! If you call yourself emperor, who will obey you?"

At this time, Guan Yu, who had been silent since returning to the camp, suddenly said: "Brother, your Majesty had a death wish when he was hit by an arrow."
