Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

When it comes to the important matter of choosing a crown prince, even if Li Ji also likes A Dou in his heart, he should not speak out rashly to avoid making things worse.

After Liu Bei said this, he looked at Li Xiang and A Dou hugging each other and crying, as if they were parting forever, and asked with confusion in his heart.

"Zikun, doesn't Xiang'er know the truth?"

"As the saying goes: If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his dignity; if a few things are not discreet, harm will occur."

Li Ji shook his head and then explained.

"Even though Xiang'er is precocious, he is still not smart enough to be entrusted with important matters. I naturally dare not tell Xiang'er about this matter, lest it be accidentally leaked out and ruin the Northern Expedition."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei also agreed with it deeply, and also did not tell Adou the truth in advance, which led to this misunderstanding.

Of course, Li Ji was worried about accidents, while Liu Bei simply did not trust Adou.

To date, the number of people who truly know all the inside information, including Li Ji's wife Zhao Ji and the disciples who need to be involved, is no more than ten.

Therefore, many officials and generals gathered in Shouchun City were in a panic and really believed that Liu and Li had split.

Of course, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun among the military generals are all insiders.

As long as these three people don't make trouble, there won't be any big trouble.

Among the civil officials, there was also Gu Yong who stabilized the people's hearts and blocked Shouchun City early on, preventing the news from spreading to the people.

Therefore, although the impact seemed huge, it was firmly under control in Shouchun City. He also used this as an excuse to summon his generals who were originally stationed in various places to gather in Shouchun.

Otherwise, given the current hostile situation between Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Cao Cao, summoning generals from all over the country back to Shouchun for discussion on a large scale without any reason would not only be impossible to conceal, but would also inevitably arouse the high vigilance of the Cao and Lu families.

However, Liu Bei thought about it and said in a gentle voice.

"However, tomorrow is the tenth day, and all preparations have been completed. It's okay to tell Xiang'er, so as to prevent the two children from worrying too much."

While Li Ji was still hesitating, Li Xiang and Adou, who had been crying bitterly, had calmed down a little.

Li Xiang raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and no longer insisted on paying attention to etiquette as usual, and spoke.

"Adou, this matter is not as simple as you think. When you entered the mansion with the seal, there must have been soldiers who went to inform the King of Han."

"Even if we have the seal, Xiahou Bo is guarding outside the mansion day and night. He will definitely not let us out easily."

"Besides, my father is seriously injured and on the verge of death. He has been relying on Master Zhongjing and Master Yuanhua to treat him every day to give him a glimmer of hope. How can we move lightly?"

Adou was frustrated and unwilling, and asked helplessly, "What should I do? How about I go back and beg my father?"

"it's useless."

Although Li Xiang is young, he knows what politics is through what he has seen and heard. This is not a major issue that can be shaken or changed by personal feelings.

If Adou goes to ask the King of Han for help, it will not only be useless, but it may also harm Adou.

Li Xiang sighed and said, "However, if my father passes away, Adou's position as the crown prince will certainly be lost, which is not bad."

Li Xiang was well aware of his father's prestige and influence, and the King of Han would certainly suppress everything related to his father at all costs.

Adou was also one of the first to be affected.

Immediately, Li Xiang's face became serious and he spoke seriously.

"Adou, there is only one plan that can save my father and the Han Dynasty. However, if this plan fails, you and I will be turned into dust..."

Without waiting for Li Xiang to finish, the chubby Adou responded decisively.

"Brother, please feel free to speak. I am willing to share life and death with you."

"it is good!"

Li Xiang was touched, and then he stuffed the seal back into Adou's hand and said, "Now, the King of Han and my father are at loggerheads. There must be a treacherous person who is instigating them..." "It's Yuan Gonglu!" Adou blurted out a name.

As far as I can remember, it was because Yuan Gonglu was able to stay by my father's side all the time that my father changed so drastically.

But, does it matter who it is?

Li Xiang, who is not as naive as Adou, is very clear about this. The current situation cannot be saved except by the treacherous villain Yuan Gonglu.

Li Xiang has been thinking hard day and night about how to break the impasse in order to save his father.

After much thought, Li Xiangsi decided that the only way to save the situation was to... clear out the emperor's entourage!

However, the Prime Minister's Mansion was under siege, and Prime Minister Li secretly tried to contact Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, but found that Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo's attitudes were ambiguous and he could not entrust his life to them.

Now, Adou, who holds the seal of the King of Han, has become the hope in Li Xiang's eyes.

At the moment, escaping from Shouchun with the seal may be a little too unrealistic.

However, let Adou, who holds the seal, quickly contact the generals in the city and immediately launch a mutiny to purge the court. As the prince, Adou has the seal in his hand.

As long as the action is taken quickly enough, and the generals and troops who respond to Adou are sufficient to raid the Palace of the Prince of Han and control the Prince of Han, and then ask the Prince of Han to abdicate and give way to Adou, the situation can be turned around.

At that time, by hanging Yuan Gonglu's head, this storm can be eliminated without a trace.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang spoke in a hurried tone.

"Adou, you must leave the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately and contact..."

However, it can be said that no one knows a son better than his father.

Liu Bei didn't understand what he heard, but Li Ji's pupils shrank. He had already guessed what Li Xiang was trying to do.

I thought Adou was the most filial son, and Li Xiang was the most filial among all.

Some things can't be said...

Immediately, Li Ji, without caring about anything else, interrupted hurriedly.

"Adou is here, why don't you come and let your father meet you?"

When these words were spoken, not only did Liu Bei fail to react for a moment, but Adou and Li Xiang also felt their hearts tighten, and they were so frightened that they instinctively trembled.

Immediately, Adou and Li Xiang felt that the voice was so familiar, and turned around hurriedly, only to see Li Ji walking out from the corner with a smile.

At this moment, Adou and Li Xiang were both surprised and excited.

Among them, Adou rushed into Li Ji's arms very quickly, speaking excitedly.

"Could it be that God has mercy on me? My father is fine, my father is fine..."

Liu Bei, who was originally quite curious about the brilliant plan that Li Xiang had mentioned, also followed him out, but taught A Dou a lesson in a slightly serious tone.

"I and your father are like brothers, we are one body, how could I destroy myself and need a child like you to worry about me?"

"Father?!"

Adou was a little dazed, but also a little happy, realizing that he seemed to have misunderstood something, otherwise why would his father appear with his unharmed father-in-law.

Instead, Li Xiang's pupils shrank. As he thought more, he felt a sense of fear. At the same time, he also realized that he almost ruined the plan of the King of Han and his father.

While Li Ji was bending down to coax Adou, Liu Bei also waved to Li Xiang and said.

"What is the brilliant plan that Xiang'er just mentioned? Let's hear it and see how much of Zikun's experience our Xiang'er has gained." (End of this chapter)
