Xuande

Chapter 468 Personal evidence and physical evidence are complete

Zhang Rang was about to speak about Liu Bei's confession to him, but he didn't expect Empress Dowager Dong to speak before him.

Empress Dowager Dong seemed to be very excited and held Liu Hong's hand.

"My son, there is a way!"

"any solution?"

"Destroy that poisonous woman of the He family!"

Empress Dowager Dong said excitedly: "That poisonous woman who dared to murder the prince! As long as she is alive, our Han family will not be at peace! She is still the queen, and even I may be killed by her! You still have to stay What are you doing with her? Abolish her! Bian will no longer be a son-in-law!"

After hearing this, Liu Hong frowned tightly, thinking about it, but couldn't make up his mind.

"It's already at this time. If I abolish the empress, how will the people of the world view this matter? Luoyang... finally became more stable. If I abolish the empress now, I am afraid that the He family and the Yuan family will attack immediately. At that time, How are you going to deal with yourself?"

"Your Majesty, besides the Xiyuan Army and the palace guards, don't there be more than 2 Liangzhou soldiers from Liu Xuande?"

Dong Zhong reminded: "We are doing our best to defend Luoyang City, and Liu Xuande is echoing us outside the city, forming horns. No matter how many troops the He and Yuan have, they are still no match for us!"

"Xuande... Xuande..."

Liu Hong shook his head with his eyes closed, and said weakly: "Xuande is against abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, he will not agree to you..."

"Your Majesty, Liu Xuande is a loyal minister. As long as His Majesty speaks, how can he object?"

Zhang Rang said in a low voice: "As long as you call him here and tell him your decision, with his loyalty, how can he oppose you?"

Liu Hong opened his eyes and looked towards the ceiling.

"Will Xuande support you?"

"Liu Xuande will only support you."

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, as long as you say a word, Liu Xuande will definitely support you, even if the prince Xie is the crown prince, as long as you say a word, Liu Xuande will definitely not object!"

Liu Hong was noncommittal about this.

But he really didn't want to see his only two remaining sons die because of the court's political struggle after his death.

This is unacceptable to him as a father.

"Go and find Xuande..."

He waved his hand feebly.

Zhang Rang rushed out of the palace immediately.

Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhong almost cried with joy.

After Liu Bei received the news, he followed Zhang Rang to the palace. Before entering the palace, the two quietly discussed some details for a while.

Zhang Rang didn't seem to react until this time. In terms of the operation of this matter, it seemed that they were not completely passive.

"He came in to look for me, I never said it, but if I said it, I would be able to confirm the matter of He Jin and Yuan Wei's wolf ambition? If this is the case, isn't our matter justified? Are there any other concerns?"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Do you have evidence? Do you have irrefutable evidence to prove that this thing really happened? This is your one-sided statement. As long as He Jin refuses to admit it, with your reputation, how many people will believe it?"

Zhang Rang froze on the spot, and then looked depressed.

"Damn scholar!"

"Don't blame the scholars either. Don't blame each other for what you did before."

"At this time, you still speak for the scholars? Don't think about it. There is no suitable reason. The emperor wants you to support the abolition of the elders and the establishment of the younger. How should you explain to the people around you? They only followed He Jinyuan because they believed in you. Kui is right! Don't you want to think about this?"

"Of course I want to, I can do it too."

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang with a smile.

Zhang Rang was stunned.

"Do you have a solution?"

Liu Bei took out two bamboo tubes from his arms.

"Do you know what this is?"

"what?"

"Yuan Kai wrote a secret letter to Dong Zhuo requesting him to mobilize Bingzhou soldiers."

"!!!"

Zhang Rang's eyes widened: "How did you get it? Dong Zhuo can even give you this?"

"Dong Zhuo also wants to live."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "From the moment he decided to help me, he wanted Yuan Kai to die more than I did. In order to let Yuan Wei die, he would do whatever it takes. These two secret letters are for Yuan Kai to burn after reading them." It was lost, but at that time Dong Zhuo didn't know what the purpose was, so he didn't burn it in time, and then he gave it to me."

Zhang Rang looked at the two bamboo tubes in Liu Bei's hands and swallowed.

"Can this be proven to be Yuan Kai's handwriting?"

"Dong Zhuo's testimony as an old official of the Yuan family, and compare his handwriting with the memorial table he presented in the court."

"What if someone still says it's a forgery?"

"The Bingzhou soldiers and Bingzhou officers in He Jin's barracks will not lie. As long as they stand up and say a word, He Jin and Yuan Kai will not be able to wash themselves away even if they jump into Luoshui."

Liu Bei sneered and said, "We have all the witnesses and physical evidence."

"That……"

"What else is there to say? He Jin and Yuan Kai conspired to rebel. It is only natural to kill them. It is only natural for the queen to be deposed without reporting the knowledge. The son of the prince's defense is also suspected of not reporting the knowledge. Can he still inherit the throne? ?”

"Should... can't..."

"So, are there any more questions?"

"Gone……"

Zhang Rang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly ecstasy welled up in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly and said with great joy, "Liu Xuande! I really saw you right! This kind of thing can be done by you!"

"I really didn't put much effort into it. It was their operation that made me dumbfounded."

Liu Bei put away the two bamboo tubes, shook his head and sighed: "If you want to do something big, how can you expose so many flaws and leak so much information? I really didn't target them very much, I just did what I should do.

As a result, after I finished what I was supposed to do, I found that all the favorable conditions had gathered in my hands, and they had done the worst rebellion!
And that He Jin, who didn't know anything about our relationship, and told you directly about his plan to rebel, didn't he really think you wouldn't tell me if he didn't even think about it?
I don't know where his confidence comes from, but it's already at this point, how can I lose?Lao Zhang, tell me, how can I lose?Against such a group of opponents, I think it will be difficult not to win. "

Zhang Rang doesn't care about Liu Bei's evaluation anymore, he only knows that this matter is done!

In the ecstasy, Zhang Rang suddenly felt a little strange again.

"No, since you have such confidence, then what did you mean when you said that you were an enemy of the world and flattened the world? With such a legitimate reason, how could the people of the world object? Who would dare? This is rebellion, benefactor A rebellion that can be betrayed!"

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Liu Bei shook his head: "You will know sooner or later, don't be in a hurry, right now, let's finish this matter first."

Zhang Rang was a little puzzled and didn't want to understand it for a while, but he didn't have that thought now. He quickly led Liu Bei to meet Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, Liu Xuande is here!"

Liu Hong waved his hand.

"Xuande, come here."

Liu Hong stretched out his hand.

Liu Bei stepped forward, held Liu Hong's hand, and knelt down on the edge of his bed.

"Your Majesty, here is my minister."

"Xuande, I'm almost dying..."

"Your Majesty, don't speak in vain! Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, how could he be ill?"

Liu Bei said loudly: "Your Majesty will definitely recover! Which quack doctor treats His Majesty indiscriminately? Please kill this person!"

Liu Bei was very excited, in the eyes of Liu Hong and others, this is the appearance of a loyal minister.

Empress Dowager Dong looked at Liu Bei with relief.

Dong Zhong looked at Liu Bei with some emotion.

Only Zhang Rang lowered his head and didn't look at Liu Bei—for some reason, he always felt that he didn't want to witness this scene with his own eyes.

Liu Hong was even more emotional, so he squeezed Liu Bei's hand.

"Xuande..."

"His Majesty!"

Liu Bei wiped the corners of his eyes and looked at Liu Hong.

"Don't blame the doctors, they are not wrong, it's because I don't have a destiny, I shouldn't live a long life..."

"Your Majesty, don't say that! I must seek medical advice, and I will definitely find a doctor who can cure Your Majesty!"

"No need."

Liu Hong shook his head vigorously, then squeezed Liu Bei's hand again: "Xuande, I came to you because I have something to tell you."

"Your Majesty, please tell me that even if I go through fire and water, I will do this for Your Majesty!"

Liu Hong looked at Liu Bei steadily.

"I want to make my youngest son Xie the crown prince, and he will take over the throne after my death."

Liu Bei froze there on the spot, and it took a while to react.

"Your Majesty, this... didn't you say before..."

"Xuande, you are a loyal minister, you are loyal to the clan, I have no one else to entrust this kind of matter to me, only you, I can entrust."

Liu Hong said slowly: "These days, I have also figured it out. If I let the eldest son Bian ascend the throne, of course it is justified, but Xie's situation will be very unfavorable. He will be very dangerous, and you will all be very dangerous, but if I Let Xie ascend the throne, then most people can be preserved except for the He family and the Yuan family.

Xuande, I have thought about it for a long time. I have no other choice now. I really cannot accept that my beloved son will be bullied after my death and cannot be preserved. There are not many people I can trust, and among these people, The one who is most capable of protecting him is you..."
