Chapter 831 Dilemma
Knowing that Liu Biao did not bring troops, Liu Bei knew that he had made a slip of the tongue and was a little embarrassed.

After the embarrassment, he was a little proud.

Reincarnation.When I went to ask Liu Biao, he ignored me.Now it's his turn to beg me.

Liu Bei didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either.

He said to Liu Qi, since your father came to Luoyang to recuperate, as a son of man, you should be filial to your knees, how can I force others to do what is difficult for me?

You don't have to worry, just stay with him at ease.I have a vacancy for you, you can come anytime.

Besides, the emperor has a famous doctor by his side, and your father should recover soon.

Liu Qi has followed Liu Biao to various occasions since he was a child, and he understands such polite words immediately.

This is Liu Bei's tactful expression. Before Liu Biao meets him, he will not meet Liu Biao, let alone take the initiative to visit.

To see him, it was Liu Biao who came to visit him.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Liu Qi also knew that the status of the two parties was different from what it was ten years ago, and now he wanted Liu Bei to bow his head, but Liu Biao no longer had that strength.

-

Liu Biao was very angry when he heard Liu Bei's reply.

But he was helpless.

Since I came to Luoyang, I will see you sooner or later.Rather than being dismissed by the emperor like Yuan Shao and being in a dilemma, it is better to ask for an audience while the emperor is in a good mood.

The emperor does not nod, let alone Liu Bei, no one will easily see him.

After struggling for a while, Liu Biao went to see him.

Liu Xie quickly replied, asking Liu Biao to meet him at the appointed time.Considering Liu Biao's poor health, the time was arranged in the afternoon.

Seeing this hour, Liu Qi felt ominous.

The time seemed fine, right after a nap, neither too early nor too late.However, considering that the emperor was busy with affairs, he had the habit of discussing government affairs during meals, and often kept meals when meeting ministers, this was a bit wrong.

At the end of the day, lunch is over, but dinner is still early.Unless there are many things to talk about, there is almost no possibility of staying a meal.When Liu Biao saw the driver's report, Jingzhou was governed like that. How much can he say?
Nine times out of ten, they meet each other, say a few insipid words, and leave immediately.

As usual, this is no problem.However, considering Liu Biao's current embarrassing situation, it is easy to make people suspicious, thinking that Liu Biao, like Yuan Shao, was neglected by the emperor and just saved his life.

Liu Biao is approaching his sixtieth year, so there is nothing wrong with becoming an official.It is also an acceptable result to go home to study and enjoy the old age.But Liu Qi and others will inevitably be affected, so we have to guard against it.

After weighing repeatedly, Liu Qi told Liu Biao his worries.

Liu Biao didn't take it seriously at first.

Leave a meal?Am I missing his morsel?As long as I am willing, people who want to invite me to dinner have to line up.

It was only after he had spoken his big words that he realized that the current situation was different.As Liu Qi said, don't say that no one will invite him to dinner, even if he wants to invite someone to dinner, no one may come.

He was very frustrated, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Liu Qi, so he waved his hand and directly drove Liu Qi out.In private, he was sitting alone in the room, thinking over and over again of his political achievements in Jingzhou in the past few years, and was about to say a few more words when he was about to meet him, and it would be best if he could delay it until the emperor had dinner.

Others may not need to take it to heart, but if they can beat Yuan Shao, it is a good choice.

-

On a warm winter afternoon, Liu Xie had just woken up from a nap, and Ma Yunlu waited on him to put on his coat and wash his face.

"What are your plans for this afternoon?"

"Meet Liu Biao." Zhuge Liang appeared in response.

"anything else?"

"If the negotiation goes well, I will summon the generals participating in the review." Zhuge Liang glanced at the document in his hand. "Sun Rui, a lieutenant in the Northern Army, has already crossed the river and is on his way here. He will arrive around dinner time. Does Your Majesty want to see him?"

Liu Xie nodded, and asked again: "Where are the soldiers from Shangdang?"

"Today's news has not yet arrived. According to the news received yesterday, it has already arrived in Hanoi."

"Who else is coming?"

"The cavalry of the Yanran Governor's Mansion is commanded by Wolf Cavalry Commander Shi Cao Chun. There is also Zang Hong, the prefect of Yanmen." Zhuge Liang paused, and then said: "Zang Hong is in a hurry, and the other cavalry The difference in distance is about one day, almost two hundred miles a day."

Liu Xie blinked and smiled. "Is he afraid of Yuan Shao's death?"

Zhuge Liang also laughed. "It's possible."

"This news is to be kept secret."

"only."

Ma Yunlu glanced at Liu Xie, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you also afraid of Yuan Shao's death?"

Liu Xie smiled without saying a word.

He didn't kill Yuan Shao, not because he didn't dare to kill or couldn't, but because he didn't want Yuan Shao to be too cheap.

With Yuan Shao's IQ, it is impossible to think that he can get out of the body after reaching this stage, and there is even a possibility of resurgence.

Since Yuan Shao didn't end himself when he was under house arrest by Yuan Tan, and he didn't understand himself when he was captured by Yuan Shu, it shows that he was afraid.

This fear surpasses even death.

Han people do not believe in God, but respect their ancestors.They regard death as life, believe that after death, their souls can last forever, and enjoy the contributions of future generations. Naturally, they will meet with their ancestors and make evaluations of their merits and demerits in their lives.

How should Yuan Shao face Yuan Kai, who had high hopes for him, but was killed by him, and the more than fifty members of the Yuan family who were killed by Dong Zhuo?How to face those fellow party members who had lived and died with him, but were killed by him in the end?

It is humiliating to live, but it is even more difficult to die.

This is probably Yuan Shao's unsolvable predicament at present.

"Has Liu Biao met Yuan Shao?"

"We met on the second day in Luoyang. But it was not harmonious. I heard that Liu Biao was speechless by Yuan Shao's scolding. I don't know what he said."

"Is Liu Biao so useless?" Liu Xie was surprised.

Can't even beat a dog in the water, and get splashed with saliva by the dog in the water?
"Liu Biao is a gentleman of modesty. He has been taught etiquette since he was a child. A gentleman cuts off friendship and never speaks ill. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for him to speak ill of Yuan Shao."

Liu Xie glanced at Zhuge Liang. "You have a good impression of him."

"I speak from my heart." Zhuge Liang said flatly, "Please correct me if there are mistakes."

Liu Xie waved his hand, indicating that Zhuge Liang could go out.He sat down on the edge of the bed, put his hands on his knees, and let out a rough breath.

Ma Yunlu turned behind him and put his hand on his shoulder. "Does Your Majesty want to kill someone?"

Liu Xie bit his lip and said nothing.

"If Your Majesty wants to kill someone, but it's inconvenient, my concubine can do it for you." Ma Yunlu said softly, "Even if there is any criticism, my concubine will bear it all, so that your Majesty's reputation will not be damaged."

Liu Xie thought for a while, shook his head, and raised his hand to hold Ma Yunlu's hand.

"Woo—" Liu Xie stood up again, calming down. "Kong Ming is right. Liu Biao is just a useless scholar. If you really want to kill him, there are many ways to do it. It's not worth it to ruin your reputation."

Ma Yunlu smiled.

Liu Xie snorted, and said again: "Scholar Sun Rui is coming, I will meet him."
