Chapter 2590: Liu Bian died, Liu Yu succeeded to the throne

After Qin Shu's first Hanzhong battle, under the persuasion of Su Qin, Liu Yu had decided to abolish Liu Bian, declared himself emperor, and carried the banner of Han.

The reason why Liu Yu didn't claim to be an emperor before was because he was afraid that he would be retributed by Daqin after he became emperor, and secondly, he didn't have the confidence to become an emperor himself.

After Liu Yuyin died Liu Ji, relying on political struggle to seize power, the fundamentals are far less solid than Ying Hao.

Don't look at Liu Yu's sole control of the military and political power in Shu, and the officials are all loyal to him, but only he knows the actual situation, and many people are just forced by authority.

If Liu Yu was only his regent, these people would naturally not dare to oppose him, but if he kicked Liu Bian off and declared himself emperor, he would definitely encounter great resistance.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Yu has never been in a hurry to become emperor. After all, although he is a king, he is no different from an emperor. Liu Bian is just a puppet he supports.

But now, as Daqin becomes stronger and stronger, and under the direction of the people's hearts, the unification trend has become more and more clear. If the kingdom of Shu cannot break out in silence, it can only perish in silence.

In fact, for Liu Yu at this time, even proclaiming emperor can't change anything.

It can neither increase the national strength of Shu, nor weaken the power of Da Qin.

The only thing that can be done is to inspire people's hearts, give hope to those who are still loyal to Dahan, and strengthen their determination to continue to fight Daqin.

But that's enough.

The big man, the flag that is about to fall, needs a strong person to carry it.

Liu Bian was too weak to carry it at all.

Liu Xiu was able to carry it, but the location of the four battles in the Chu Kingdom was too awkward. If he was an emperor, let alone other surrounding countries, even Liu Yu would not admit it.

At present, only Liu Yu can carry the banner of Dahan.

Although Liu Yu was determined to become an emperor, he knew that if he called himself an emperor, it would inevitably cause some turmoil, so preparations before proclaiming the emperor must be done.

The first is to win over Xing Tian and other generals of the original Liu Ji family.

Because Liu Ji was seriously injured and died, Chen Ping was defeated in the political battle again. In order to prevent Shuhan from fighting again, the civil and military ministers of the original Liu Ji family could only be forced to work for Liu Yu, but it did not mean that they would support him. Liu Yu became emperor, especially Xingtian.

As the number one general of Shu Han, Xing Tian has a very high prestige in the army. It is true that he is loyal to the big Han, but he is loyal to Liu Hong's bloodline, not Liu Yu and other Han clansmen.

If Liu Yu could not get Xingtian's approval, he would forcefully proclaim himself emperor. If Xingtian rebelled after proclaiming emperor, then the fun would be great. Even if he could finally suppress the rebellion, the kingdom of Shu would be at a loss, let alone be with him. Daqin is fighting for the edge.

Therefore, Liu Yu must be cautious about proclaiming emperor.

In order to understand Xingtian's thoughts, Liu Yu specially sent Peng Yue to test his attitude.

Peng Yue and Xing Tian had a very good personal relationship, and they talked about everything in private. After the two drank the wine, Peng Yue asked Xing Tian, ​​if Liu Yu wanted to abolish the emperor and stand on his own. .

Through this temptation, Liu Yu also understood that he could not persuade Xing Tian by reasoning. This kind of foolish and loyal person was like a stone in the pit, stinky and hard.

Liu Yu hit a nail in Xingtian, but it was very smooth to win over other Liu Ji's former subordinates. After all, the big men have already reached this point, and there are not many people like Xingtian as foolish and loyal.

The support of others made Liu Yu feel relieved, but in addition to Xing Tian, ​​there were others such as Shen Shiqi and Zhou Bo who opposed it.

If only Xing Tian was the only one, it would be fine, but if so many generals in the army were against it, even Liu Yu would not dare to forcibly become emperor, because that would be courting death.

The road of forcibly proclaiming emperor will not work, and Liu Yu can only save the country by curve.

Liu Yu didn't want to get rid of Liu Bian at first. After all, if he left any flaws, it would not only fall into the limelight, damage his reputation, but also intensify internal conflicts in Shu, but now Liu Bian had to be resolved.

Liu Bian has no son. As long as he 'dies of illness', Liu Yu can justifiably succeed to the throne, so even Xing Tian and others can't find a reason to object.

But Liu Bian was still so young, and although his health was not very good, he didn't look like he died prematurely, so the only way was to use chronic poison.

But Liu Bian was guarded by Wang Yue, and it was not easy to get past Wang Yue to poison Liu Bian.

In order to transfer Wang Yue away from Liu Bian, Liu Yu did not hesitate to re-enable Wang Yue and give him some authority over him.

After Wang Yue was transferred out of Chengdu, the guard behind Liu Bian was much weaker, but when Liu Yu was about to do it, Su Qin persuaded him.

Su Qin's reason is also very simple, even if it is chronic poison, it is the last resort, it is easy to remind people of Liu Yu.

Liu Yu understood what Su Qin meant, after all, the hint was obvious enough.

Since it is easy to be suspected of poisoning, he adopts an accidental method so that people will not think of him as much as possible.

Not long ago, someone in Chengdu suddenly became infected with the plague.

After Liu Yu learned about it, he immediately ordered the entire city to be sealed off and set up an isolation area to prevent the epidemic. Although the risk of infection was minimized, the eunuchs who went out to purchase brought the plague into the palace and infected most of the people in the palace. Disease, including the emperor Liu Bian.

Although the imperial doctor conducted the diagnosis and treatment immediately, Liu Bian's health was not good at all, and after the infection, it deteriorated sharply, and finally died in the palace.

Poor Liu Bian, he served as puppets for Dong Zhuo, Liu Ji, and Liu Yu all his life, and in the end he did not escape the fate of being calculated to death.

When the news of Liu Bian's death came out, the whole country of Shu was shocked, but not because of Liu Bian's death, but because of the fear that the plague would spread from Chengdu.

Under Liu Yu's vigorous fight against the epidemic, the damage of the plague was also minimized.

Since too many people died of this plague, there were more than [-] palace eunuchs in the palace, and tens of thousands of people outside the palace, so not many people associated Liu Bian's death with Liu Yu.

After all, Liu Yu is a person who envelops Buddhism, and his past performance has always been decent. No one thinks that he will be so mad that he will only kill one Liu Bian and let tens of thousands of people be buried with him.

In addition, after controlling the plague, Liu Yu's performance was also remarkable. He did not rush to pave the way for his rise, but tried his best to trace how this sudden plague came about.

In the end, under the investigation of Da He He, it was found out that he was an apprentice of Lu Yue, who secretly practiced the exercises in Chengdu, but was killed by the backlash. There is this problem.

For this explanation, most people in the state of Shu can also accept it. After all, Lu Yue, in addition to being a disciple of the Shangqing School of Taoism, is also the former leader of the Five Poison Sect.

The reputation of the Nanzhong Five Poison Religion has long been stinky in Yizhou. It used live people to make drugs, poisoned a village, and even a town happened, so it's not unusual for anything to happen.

Most people in Shu, including those who opposed Liu Yu's proclamation as emperor, also accepted that Liu Bian's death was an accident, but there were also a small number of people who could not accept it, such as Xingtian.

For Liu Bian's death, Xing Tian was naturally unacceptable. He always felt that it was not so simple, but there was no evidence, and Liu Bian was already dead, so what if he just didn't accept it?
One morning, Zhang Song took the initiative to propose that the country cannot be without an owner for one day, and proposed that Liu Yu come to inherit the throne.

As soon as this proposal was made, [-]% of the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee expressed their support, and the remaining [-]% did not express their support, but they did not oppose it, including Xing Tian.

Seeing that Xingtian did not object, Liu Yu was also secretly relieved, and then he justly rejected the request of the ministers to become emperor, and stated that the bones of the first emperor were not cold, and although the culprit died, the five poisonous sects still existed, and the plague was still alive. There is no complete solution, so I will not consider proclaiming the emperor for the time being.

Although Liu Yu's remarks still could not impress Xingtian, it also changed his image in Xingtian's heart a lot.

Later, Liu Yu ordered to recall the leader of Wang Yue, and ordered him to lead the hundreds of masters of the leader to go south to encircle the five poisonous sects in Nanzhong, and avenge the late emperor.

Seeing this, Xing Tian took the initiative to ask for orders to go with him.

Liu Yuzhengchou couldn't find a chance to win over Xing Tian, ​​so naturally he couldn't refuse Xing Tian's request and resolutely agreed to Xing Tian to go with him.

The Five Poison Religion, also known as the Five Immortal Religion, was founded by the Five Poison Gods and has a history of nearly a hundred years.

He Tiexin, the current leader of the Five Poisons Sect, is also Lu Yue's apprentice. Because his master Lu Yue was invited to become an official in the Song Dynasty, he took over the position of the leader, but he didn't expect his position to be firmly established, so he accepted it. To the news that the master and the younger brothers died in battle in Guanzhong.

The master died in the hands of Da Qin, so He Tiexin naturally did not dare to take revenge, and was worried about Da Qin's revenge, so he could only close the mountain to hide the sect and act as low-key as possible.

But I didn't expect people to sit at home and the pot came from the sky.

The missing junior brother suddenly died in Chengdu, and the Five Poison Religion was inexplicably charged with murdering the king.

Who is the intelligence organization second only to the Black Ice Platform, and how can the mere five poison sects be able to compete?
What's more, among the people who came this time were the great master and the number one general of Shu Han.

In less than an hour, 500 members of the century-old Five Poison Sect, including the leader He Tiexin, all died under the siege and suppression of Yizhou. Half of them were killed by Xing Tian and Wang Yue.

After the Five Poison Religion was wiped out, the epidemic in Chengdu was basically brought under control, and Liu Bian was buried, so the officials of Shu Han once again proposed the matter of proclaiming emperor, but Liu Yu still refused.

However, the officials of the Shu Han were not disappointed. After all, it is customary to call the emperor three times, and Ying Hao did the same.

After Liu Yu refused for the second time, he took the initiative to find Xing Tian, ​​Zhou Bo and others, put on a thirsty attitude, and humbly asked their opinions, which was actually to win over them.

Liu Ji died, Chen Ping ran away, Liu Ying became Liu Yu's adopted son, and now even Liu Bian died. The original Liu Ji faction had no other choice but to be loyal to Liu Yu.

Zhou Bo, Shen Shiqi and others directly expressed their support for Liu Yu.

Xing Tian didn't make a statement on the spot, obviously he still had grudges, but it was impossible for him to leave the kingdom of Shu. Liu Yu had time to let this fierce general return to his heart.

And after Xingtian is completely taken over, Shuhan will have three top generals: Xingtian, Kong Peng, and Liu Er, and Liu Yu will have more confidence in facing Daqin.

A few days later, in the early morning, Zhang Song brought up the old story again, and Liu Yulai succeeded to the throne, and received unanimous support from within the Shu Han.

This time, Liu did not refuse, agreeing to succeed him as the new emperor, and following Ying Hao's practice when he became emperor, he invited all countries, including Da Qin, to come to watch the ceremony, and the enthronement date was just a month later.

Liu Bian died of the plague. After the news of Liu Yu's succession to the throne came out, all countries were naturally shocked. Obviously, he did not expect Liu Yu to be so tough and dare to proclaim the emperor during such a sensitive period of Qin's military expansion.

Many people admire Liu Yu's courage, but many people think Liu Yu's move is irrational.

You Liu Yu want to be the emperor, so you can do it secretly, why not make it known to everyone, and openly invite all countries to watch the ceremony to deliberately provoke the majesty of Da Qin.

Since Shu Han has already made a move, then it will depend on the reaction of various countries and Da Qin.

Chu Wang Liu Xiu and Sui Wang Yang Guang, although they did not want to be crushed by Liu Yu, they also knew that neither of them had the conditions to become emperors. Liu Yu was indeed the only person who could carry the banner of a great Han, so they both clearly stated that they would send The messenger came to watch.
