I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 479 The Emperor's Innocence

Liu Bian is very proud now, he thinks that he can deflate Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo, two famous figures in the world, it is really a great joy in life.

This is the power that the emperor should have.

Liu Bian is very smart, but he is too young to know how to fight steadily, restrain and forbear.

Once he achieved a little bit of success, he got carried away with complacency.

Therefore, most politicians are old and mature, and people who are too young and have not experienced big storms really cannot be politicians.

However, Liu Bian also knows that he has only won a short-term victory now, and if he wants to gain enough right to speak before taking office, he still needs one very important thing.

That is, he needs certain military power.

Let's not talk about how many soldiers and horses he can control, but first he needs a general...a general who can help him manage the troops.

In the past, successive emperors of the Han Dynasty would entrust this position to an important person who was related to him, that is, a foreign relative.

But now, all capable men of the He family were killed by the previous batch of eunuchs.

And Liu Bian's new queen, Dong Shi, is Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, and Dong Zhuo's relative, Liu Bian, is naturally not available.

When the existing relatives could not be counted on, so Liu Bian set his sights on a person who had just lost a big battle.

That person was Lu Bu who was defeated in Sizhou.

In fact, there was Niu Fu who was defeated like Lu Bu, but it was impossible for Liu Bian to use Niu Fu as the man in charge of the army for him, after all, he was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law.

Of course, it would be unfavorable to Liu Bian if he met Lv Bu in the palace, and Dong Zhuo would easily know about it if he failed. Therefore, the eunuchs have always been secretly doing these things for Liu Bian.

During this period of time, Liu Bian had been sending people to contact Lu Bu secretly. Although he didn't clarify his real intentions inside and outside the words, in fact, he faintly revealed the intention of soliciting.

In Liu Bian's view, it was a certainty for Lu Bu, an immoral person from the border county, to abandon his old master under the temptation and grace of his imperial prestige.

Liu Bian saw Lu Bu very accurately, but he misread himself.

It is true that Lu Bu has no sense of righteousness, but he is also a man who has experienced many storms. Although the emperor is the supreme in the world, Lu Bu will not betray Dong Zhuo just because he is the emperor.

Lu Bu also has the interests of Lu Bu.

The current Lu Bu has secretly formed an alliance with Niu Fu. Although the two of them have temporarily fallen out of favor in front of Dong Zhuo, they know in their hearts that as long as they have enough patience, they will definitely have a chance to rise again.

In particular, Niu Fu and Lu Bu had reached an agreement to use this opportunity to go to Liangzhou to restore their reputation.

But it was at this juncture that Liu Bian took the initiative to come to his door. He secretly contacted Lu Bu to poach Dong Zhuo's corner.

Liu Bian really thinks too highly of himself and is too important.

Although he didn't express his intention of soliciting, Lu Bu knew what the other party was going to do immediately.

Almost immediately, Lu Bu sold Liu Bian.

He found his ally, Niu Fu, and went with him to inform Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo originally planned to watch the jokes between Liu Jian and the emperor and the court officials, but he never thought that he didn't see other people's jokes, but he saw the emperor came to poach his own corner!

Dong Zhuo's lungs nearly exploded.

It turned out that the old man was the joke.

"It seems that the old man has done too many good deeds and killed too few people over the years. He is just a fool. The old man should have abolished him a long time ago!"

When Dong Zhuo said this, he really gritted his teeth in hatred.

Niu Fu and Lu Bu stood on both sides respectively.

Li Ru smiled and said to Dong Zhuo: "Don't be angry, Xiangguo, such things are absolutely unavoidable. Even if Xiangguo abolishes the emperor, the new emperor will definitely do something when he becomes an adult. Whoever becomes the emperor will not change the result." .”

Dong Zhuo snorted: "Then just let this scumbag go on?"

Li Ru smiled and said: "Xiangguo, if you think about it carefully, this is actually a good thing. Although the emperor does despicable things, but fortunately he is not clever enough, he can control it in Xiangguo's hands at any time! If it were an emperor with a scheming heart , Do everything without leaving traces, so that we can't see it, that's the hardest thing."

When Dong Zhuo thought about it, it really was such a truth.

"Wen You thinks, what should I do next?"

Li Ru looked at Lu Bu and Niu Fu, and said: "General Zhonglang and Captain Du have the ambition to pacify Liangzhou and open up the Western Regions for Xiangguo. Their loyalty is commendable, but Xiangguo's grand plan to rectify the northwest will inevitably be blocked by people in the court. After all Over the years, there have been many people in the court who threatened to abandon Liangzhou, but if we can get the full support of the emperor in this matter, then Xiangguo will not have to worry about someone getting in the way."

Dong Zhuo probably understood Li Ru's meaning.

"Wen You meant to let Fengxian pretend to submit to the emperor?"

Li Ru said with a smile: "Xiangguo has a good opinion. The emperor secretly recruited Captain Lv to gain military power. However, the captain suffered a lot of losses in the battle of Sizhou and was short of troops. Let the captain pretend to go to the emperor's account. Yan wants to find an opportunity to go to Liangzhou to recruit soldiers for the emperor..."

Dong Zhuo's expression changed.

He laughed loudly: "It's really a good strategy! In this way, the emperor will try his best to promote the pacification of Liangzhou and open up the great plan of the Western Regions for the sake of military power. Maybe I don't even need to worry about this matter. Maybe this matter can be settled in the court! And For a long period of time from now on, this old man can still use Fengxian to monitor the emperor."

Li Ru smiled and said, "Exactly."

Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu and said, "Feng Xian, did you hear what Wen You said clearly?"

Lu Bu's expression was extremely serious: "No!"

Dong Zhuo waved his hand: "Let's do it, don't let the old man down."

"Haha, don't let our little emperor down!"

The people in the hall couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

After laughing, Dong Zhuo asked the relatives present: "Is there any movement on Liu Deran's side? This Fuyuan General, is he still a proper person?"

"Back to Xiangguo, Liu Jian doesn't seem to have made any big moves. He is still stationed in Luoyang. It seems that he wants to celebrate the New Year in Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo sneered three times.

"Poor, poor, I thought he was an omnipotent person, but now it seems that he is just a mortal after all."

"It is estimated that Liu Jian is also angry in Luoyang now?"

"Forget it, the old man will not comfort him anymore, let him spend a clean year in Luoyang...don't irritate him anymore."

"After the New Year's Eve, I will urge him to leave Luoyang."

……

……

What Dong Zhuo didn't know was that at this time, Xun Yu also wrote a letter to Xun Shuang at the invitation of Guo Jiazhi.

The content of the family letter is undoubtedly about Liu Jian's appointment as the general of Fuyuan and the future of the Xun family.

Situ Xun Shuang has been in poor health since entering this winter.

After all, he is also an old man.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Today's weather is a bit cold, and Xun Shuang's health is not very good. His old illness has relapsed, and he coughs uncontrollably all day long.

Xun You, a grandson of his grandson, gave him a lot of medicine, but it didn't help.

Today, Xun You brought another bowl of medicine to him.

"Uncle, drink some while the medicinal soup is still hot."

Xun Shuang took the medicine bowl that Xun You handed over...

"Oh, actually, I don't need to spend so much money on this old man. I have reached my age, and my life expectancy is also reached. My illness can't be cured by taking medicine."

Xun You hurriedly comforted him: "Uncle, don't say that. You are blessed and live a long life, and your illness will definitely recover after the new year."

Xun Shuang shook his head, but didn't take Xun You's words seriously.

"Your uncle sent a letter from Youzhou to speak for Liu Jian. He wants us to be the masters, win over the Qingliu people in the court, and speak for Liu Jian."

"What do you think about this matter?"

Xun You asked, "Where are my uncle's letters?"

Xun Shuang pointed to the table next to him.

"It's over there, go see for yourself."

Xun You came to the table and reached out to pick up the letter from the table.

He watched it carefully for a long time, but he didn't make a statement immediately.

When I was young, Fang heard Xun You say slowly, "Uncle, do you want to help?"

Xun Shuang looked at him with a half-smile.

"I'm asking you now."

"help!"

Xun You said it with certainty.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xun Shuang coughed heavily again.

"Why? Aren't you afraid that he is a traitor, and he made this move for the sake of decentralization?"

Xun You said: "In my opinion, what Liu Deran has done these years is not a traitor."

"On the contrary, it is precisely because of this person in Hebei that the prosperity of our Han Dynasty can be preserved."

"Facing him, the alien races in the north are all helpless."

"Giving it the authority to govern the north is beneficial and harmless to the Han Dynasty."

"And at this time, if you can help Liu Deran, you will also be helping the Xun family."

Xun Shuang said, "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Xun You saluted: "Uncle, when all uncles enter the government, most people are optimistic about the two Yuans. Only Uncle Wen Ruo has a unique vision and goes to the north to join Liu Deran. Today, Uncle Wen Ruo is famous all over the world. He sits in Youzhou and governs one side. , everyone in the northern border admires it!"

"It's just that the friendship between Uncle Wen Ruo and Liu Deran is currently limited to the personal relationship between the two of them. From the perspective of the overall situation in the world, my Xun family's investment in Er Yuan is still greater than that in Liu Jian. Although I don't I know what kind of mind Liu Deran has, but for the Xun family, this matter is ultimately a subject of criticism."

"My Xun family has been operating in Ruying for many years, so there is no need to talk about the relationship with the Yuan family."

"It's just that between my Xun family and Liu Jian, Uncle Wen Ruo is the only one as a bridge. This friendship is too weak."

"But this time, General Fuyuan, as long as the Xun family can help Liu Deran succeed, then there will be a friendship between the Xun family and Liu Deran."

"From now on, the Xun family has established a cooperative relationship with them."

"Based on Liu Jian's current power, it is very necessary for the Xun family to establish contact with him."

"This is also the true meaning of Uncle Wen Ruo's letter to persuade Uncle."

After hearing this analysis, Xun Shuang was very satisfied.

"very good."

"With people like you in the Xun family, we can guarantee the stability of our survival in the troubled times."

"The old man is very pleased that you can make timely adjustments to the family strategy according to the situation and don't stick to the rules."

"The old man is old. With my current body, I can't protect the Xun family for a few years."

"Now Xun's family is in Yuan Shao and Liu Jian in Hebei, and there are people who have contacts."

"Even the main family in the clan is controlled by the old man's two useless sons, so it won't capsize."

"The old man is very relieved about the local affairs."

"However, the Xun family must have someone at the helm in the court."

"If there is no one in the court, the Xun family's local situation will be like duckweed in the wind, crumbling, and it may not last long."

"Since the opening of the Chaos World, the old man has been at the helm, maintaining it in the court."

"But the old man's own body, the old man knows best...I won't live long."

"Fortunately, you can still take over from the old man in the court, take care of the Xun family, and take care of the overall situation."

Xun You was shocked when he heard this.

He hastily knelt down on the ground: "Uncle, grandson may not be able to take up this position."

Xun Shuang shook his head: "No, you can."

"Although you are young, you are in your prime, you are quick-witted, and you are very transparent in seeing things."

"Besides, you have been with this old man for the past few years, and you have been taught by him day and night. You are also better than your uncles in terms of vision and accomplishment."

"Succeeding the old man's position, who else but you?"

"The old man is not thinking about your personal future, the old man is thinking about the Xun family."

"Don't let the old man down, let the old man die with regret."

Xun You froze on the spot.

After a long time, I saw him making a long bow to Xun Shuang.

"I will remember the great entrustment of my uncle! I will never let you down!"

After hearing what Xun You said, Xun Shuang smiled.

"Very well. As for whether to help Liu Jian, I will leave it to you... I will also follow your orders."

……

In addition to Xun Shuang, Liu Biao, princes and kings... before New Year's Eve, Zhang Yan from Montenegro also sent someone to reply to Liu Jian's message.

Compared with others, the actions of Zhang Yan and others are enough to cause another major earthquake in the world.
