Chapter 429 Give everything for this person, why not?
Liu Bei didn't tell Jia Xu what Liu Hong said to him.

Originally, he wanted to give Liu Hong a little face, so as not to let his impression in the hearts of the subjects of the world fall to the bottom, but now that he thinks about it, it is quite unnecessary to do so.

Liu Hong's image should no longer need more damage, he has already hit the bottom, and if he goes down, can he still make holes?
So Liu Bei worded it a little bit, and told Jia Xu the underlying logic of Liu Hong's instigation of this struggle in a softer and more euphemistic way.

Of course Jia Xu understands some big questions about right and wrong.

For example, Liu Hong didn't want his son to repeat the same mistakes. Of course, he could understand and agree with such words, and felt that what Liu Hong thought was right.

But the real problem is that Liu Hong seems unwilling to establish Liu Bian's crown prince status at this stall. The reason may be that he doesn't want to lose face, and he wants to make the woman he hates restless day and night, sleep and eat, and make her suffer. due punishment.

"Back then, after the emperor's beloved Wang Meiren gave birth to the Prince's Association, she was poisoned to death by the current queen, and then tried to murder the Prince's Association. The emperor was furious and tried to abolish the queen. The ten permanent servants were moved.

So the ten permanent servants entered the palace and begged the emperor to appease his anger, telling the story that Wang Meiren was dead, and Wang Meiren could not be revived after she was abolished, and the queen was the mother of Prince Bian. If she was abolished, Prince Bian would be affected for life. The situation will become more turbulent.

The emperor considered these things, and saw that the eunuchs were on the side of the He family. Maybe he had concerns because of this, so he did not abolish the empress. But since then, there has been a close break between the emperor and the empress. The emperor lives in Xiyuan all the year round, and has no contact with the empress. , nor willing to set up the prince to argue as the prince. "

Liu Bei talked about these court incidents a little bit, so that Jia Xu would not make a mistake in judgment due to poor information.

After Jia Xu heard the news, it was hard to believe the bloody accidents in the court, and even less to believe that the emperor was reluctant to appoint a prince because he hated the queen.

"Compared to this kind of reason, I am more willing to believe that the emperor wants to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. In that case, I can convince myself a little more, instead of lamenting that the emperor is so impulsive like now, which makes me worry about the emperor even more. The future direction of the country's situation..."

"It's hard for me to say."

Liu Bei chuckled and rolled his eyes helplessly.

Jia Xu sighed deeply.

"Is the emperor really unwilling to take the first step to establish the prince as the prince? If not, it will be difficult to divide and disintegrate the power of the He family, and it is difficult to say whether he can win."

Of course Liu Bei knew what Jia Xu said was right, but Liu Hong was the one who made the decision. If he didn't make the decision, what could he do?
Jia Xu frowned and thought hard, thinking about it, and suddenly thought of something interesting.

"Actually, at the root of it, we don't necessarily need the Son of Heaven to win. In other words, according to your ambition, how to make the Son of Heaven and the He family lose both is the most important thing, isn't it?"

Liu Bei didn't expect Jia Xu's thinking to change so quickly.

"Wenhe, what you said is heart-breaking."

"For your grand plan and great cause, what about killing your heart?"

Jia Xu smiled softly: "Jia Wenhe is a person no one cares about. He is talented and learned, no one cares. After more than 40 years like this, finally someone has taken a fancy to his talent. In this case, I will dedicate everything to this person. , what can't be done?"

"Wenhe..."

Liu Bei stretched out his hand to hold Jia Xu's hand, and nodded slowly: "My ambition is to save the common people and save them from suffering greater suffering. For this reason, even if the whole Luoyang is destroyed, I will not hesitate. You Would you like to go with me?"

"Stick what you want, don't dare to ask for it!"

Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei excitedly: "I can work with you on such a great cause, even if I die, I will never regret it!"

"it is good!"

Liu Bei took Jia Xu's hands with both hands: "With a good boy like you, what should I worry about?"

Liu Bei is sincere in saying this.

He felt Jia Xu's loyalty and determination, because Jia Xu didn't know about Liu Hong's death, but even so, Jia Xu was willing to use this as a premise to plan for Liu Bei to maximize his interests.

Jia Xu's loyalty is beyond doubt.

Liu Hong was looking forward to Liu Bei's return, but Liu Bei's reply was not so optimistic, saying that he still needed at least three months to prepare.

Liu Hong felt very anxious. He hoped that Liu Bei would be able to arrive in Luoyang in a month, not more than two months at most.

In mid-December of the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Hong's letter was sent directly to Liangzhou.

At this time, Liu Bei had indeed made some arrangements for Yizhou, handing over Yizhou's military to Qianzhao, and asked Gong Zu to lead a group of Chinese officers to cooperate with Qianzhao to jointly assume the security of the entire Yizhou military.

After solving this matter, Liu Bei returned to Liangzhou with peace of mind.

When he received the letter, Liu Bei was holding an internal meeting in the state capital, and notified all his core subordinates that he might return to Luoyang in the near future.

The subordinates were of course very excited about this. They realized that Liu Bei's return this time was not only a good opportunity for Liu Bei's personal development, but also a great opportunity for development for them.

Once Liu Bei can gain a firm foothold in Luoyang and grasp some power, then their status will inevitably rise and rise together.

Their expectations for Liu Bei are very high, although they don't know what Liu Bei's departure means.

Liu Hui and Jia Xu are the only people who know the real reason why Liu Bei went to Luoyang.

Although the big guys have already achieved a coalition of interests, it is better to let nature take its course when facing more profound topics.

"The emperor ordered me to return to Luoyang, mainly to fight against the increasingly powerful generals He Jin and Situ Yuan Kui. These two people came together, worked hand in hand, managed the government, and were suspected of deceiving the emperor. As a member of the Han family, I, In order to maintain the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, it is duty-bound.

As for the saying of abolishing the old and establishing the young, it is pure nonsense. The emperor did this just to avoid repeating the mistakes of the previous emperor. Today, the son is supported by the former general Dou Wu and is also controlled by the Dou family. The emperor does not want to This happened again, and it was decided to weaken Ho's power. "

Liu Bei chose the most acceptable and understandable explanation for Liu Honghuai's more purposeful actions, which can be regarded as maintaining his image a little bit and worthy of his trust in Liu Bei.

Later, with many assumptions in mind, Liu Bei made some arrangements for the situation after he left Liangzhou.
