Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 771

Traveling through this time and space, Liu Xie undoubtedly changed the fate of many people.For example, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the fate of the two front cousins ​​Lu Bu and rear cousin Ma Chao took a 180-degree turn.

In this time and space, Lu Bu was not killed by Cao Cao's sword and axe in the Baimen Tower, but instead shed his unruly body and threw himself under the big tree of the Han Dynasty, becoming the well-deserved number one general in the world.In the subsequent battle of Hanzhong, he showed the ability of a wise general, and in the battle of Nanpi, he stepped on the Cao camp and knocked open the gate of Nanpi city easily. His arrogance that he regarded the world's war as nothing, let the boys in Guanzhong hear about his deeds The blood boiled endlessly.

Although Ma Chao's change was not as thorough as Lu Bu's, it was not as bad as experiencing two deep-seated bereavements in his life.It will no longer be like history, fearing in Shuzhong as a hero, but never having a chance to take revenge, and dying of depression when he was only 47 years old.In this time and space, he spread his prestige in Liangzhou, conquered the Qiang people, and his name of Jin Machao resounded all over the world. He was a figure whom the young generals of the Han Dynasty yearned for.

In addition, there are general Xu Rong who is no longer perishing in Li Jue and Guo Si who caused troubles in Chang'an, Gao Shun who is loyal and unyielding, and Chen Gong who is hard to stretch his ambitions, etc... The changes of these characters , when Liu Xie accidentally thought of it, he was relieved and secretly happy.But there was only one person, but Liu Xie was worried and gritted his teeth.

That person was undoubtedly Yizhou Mu Liu Yan.

The princes of the Liu clan who were supposed to report to King Yama five years ago managed to survive until today in this time and space.The reason is that Liu Xie, a butterfly, changed the course of history.

Historically, in the early years of Xingping, Liu Yan’s eldest son, Zuo Zhonglang, general Liu Fan, and his second son, Zhishu Yushi Liu Dan, conspired to invite General Ma Teng to attack Chang’an, but the plot was revealed and Ma Teng was defeated and returned to Liangzhou. .Liu Fan was killed soon after, and Liu Dan was also captured and executed.

Pang Xi, the governor of Chang'an, sent Liu Yan's grandchildren to Shu to avoid being implicated, but then a fire broke out in Mianzhu, Liu Yan's city mansion was burned, and the surrounding houses were also damaged. Liu Yan had to move the prefecture to Chengdu.The two sons who died of grief were also worried about the ominousness brought about by the natural disaster and fire, and soon died of back sores.

But in this time and space, Mianzhu was still completely burned down by the fire caused by a thunderstorm.However, Liu Yan's son was safe and sound in Chang'an.Especially at this time, Liu Xun, the third son who entered Shu with Liu Yan, died of illness. The old man was worried that there would be no one to inherit his inheritance, so he stood up abruptly.

Under such circumstances, Liu Xie had repeatedly thought about using Liu Yan's son as a bait to solve the Yizhou issue by political means.But after repeated experiments failed, Liu Xie found that he was still too young.

You know, after Liu Yan took control of Yizhou, the first thing he did was to send Zhang Lu to occupy Hanzhong and cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Yizhou.Afterwards, he even used extra-made chariots and horses, making it clear that he wanted to be the emperor of the land.

People with such ambitions can imagine how strong the desire for power is.So much so that Liu Xie recruited Liu Yan to come to Chang'an as a Weiwei and Sangong. Liu Yan didn't care about Liu Xie at all. Instead, he took in a lot of concubines and worked hard, hoping to have another heir.

Fortunately, at this time, God couldn't stand it anymore, and let Liu Yan work for nothing for several years. Instead of giving birth to a son, his body was exhausted.But even so, Liu Yan is also a ruthless person. He didn't intend to return the power of Yizhou to Liu Xie, and finally forced Liu Xie to resort to the trick of his brothers.

When Liu Zhang first returned to Yizhou, Liu Yan's mood was indescribable.After all, no one knows a son better than a father, and Liu Yan is clear about Liu Zhang's virtues.But he also knew that the imperial court could only give him such a chance, so helpless Liu Yan began to plan for Liu Zhang's succession.

Afterwards, Liu Dan also came back, and Liu Yan's mood became complicated.Compared to Liu Zhang, Liu Yan thinks that Liu Dan is still very good. At least his second son is courageous and ambitious, and he is more suitable for taking a share in this troubled world.But just when Liu Yan was wavering, thinking about whether to overthrow the previous plan and let Liu Dan take over Yizhou.Liu Yan found that his two sons no longer had the harmonious appearance of brothers in his memory, and suddenly they fought openly and secretly, and they were both fierce and threatening to kill each other.

Finally, when Liu Fan also returned to Yizhou, Liu Yan had already begun to despair.At this time, he certainly saw Liu Xie's vicious intentions.But at this time, he was already exhausted by the worries of the separation of his two sons.So much so that when the eldest son, who was as courageous as the city, came back, Liu Yan already felt that his body and energy had been drained, and the chaotic situation in Yizhou made him feel powerless.

Not to mention, when Liu Fan came back, he was charged with intending to kill the king.This time Liu Yan wanted to give up the second and fourth sons, it was impossible, after all, the strength of the Han Dynasty was obvious to all, and since Zhang Lu was subdued by the Han Dynasty, he became more sympathetic to the Han Dynasty, and almost responded to every request.

Liu Yan vaguely felt that his plan to prevent the Han Dynasty from entering the Southwest would soon go bankrupt.If I risked the displeasure of the world and supported Liu Fan at this time, I would definitely become the target of public criticism.But what added fuel to the flames was that his eldest son was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp. After he came back, he appeared to be law-abiding, but secretly he actively made friends with the wealthy families in the middle of Sichuan, and firmly fought for his own destiny.

At this time, Liu Yan finally became worried like history. Facing the situation that the piece of foundation he had created became the source of his sons' fratricide, he closed his eyes forever and died in extreme unwillingness.

However, when Liu Yan died, the situation in Yizhou suddenly became severe.

Some far-sighted figures gathered secretly to form the Qinghan faction.Most of the people in this faction came from clans that were neither above nor below, because the space in Yizhou was so large, and after the power was divided by the people above, they had no way out.But after returning to the Han Dynasty, what immediately ushered in was a large piece of sky.These people rushed to contact, and it really aroused the unity of many people in central Shu, using public opinion as a knife and gun, and launched a political offensive against the upper class in Yizhou.

However, other vested interests who really control the armed forces and power in Yizhou do not want to give up the good life of being a big brother in Yizhou Shangao Emperor Yuan and closed doors.Under normal circumstances, it would be a matter of minutes for those guys with real force to defeat those leaning Han factions.But the problem is that Liu Xie's poisonous plan made their faction divided into four factions.

The first faction is also the most powerful faction, represented by the civil service system and gentry lords who supported Liu Zhang to succeed Yizhou.

The second faction is Zhao Wei, the leader of the Dongzhou soldiers. He supports Liu Dan on the surface, but in fact he is self-reliant.

The third faction is the weakest, but the leading brother is Liu Fan, and his methods should not be underestimated.Liu Fan knew that it was difficult for him to step up to the stage in an open and honest manner, so he broke up with Zhao Wei, and at the same time actively let Pang Xi steal the military power in Yizhou, intending to take action after Liu Dan and Liu Zhang merged.

The last faction is somewhat helpless, because this faction is a neutral faction that will appear in any regime.They kept in touch with the leaning Han faction, and they did not rule out the possibility of helping Liu Yan's son succeed him.Anyway, this faction is the target of all the factions actively wooing. After all, the representative of this faction is Wu Yi who is still serving as the general of the Han Dynasty.

After Liu Yan fell, the five factions all smelled an ominous atmosphere.Yizhou, a land that has been peaceful for many years, was suddenly shrouded in a chilling and sinister atmosphere, and countless torrents surged under the calm surface.The people of Yizhou, even facing the dazzling sun above their heads, felt the urgency of the black clouds overwhelming the city.

At this time, everyone in Yizhou involuntarily turned their attention to the direction of Guanzhong.All of a sudden, no matter what the faction was, it was discovered that the one who could really affect the situation in Yizhou was the Han Dynasty court, which they had been trying to avoid but could not escape.

But in the majestic Weiyang Palace front hall, the emperor of Han, who was wearing a grand and complicated crown, felt drowsy looking at the courtiers arguing with each other.While the courtiers were attacking each other like cockfights, Liu Xie lazily turned his head and asked Leng Shouguang, "What time is it now?"

"It's half past time." Leng Shouguang returned.

"Oh, it's already ten o'clock in the morning..." Liu Xie yawned, got up quietly and turned into the apse: "Let them continue to quarrel first, and I will go back to sleep. Remember to wake me up for important events at noon. "

Leng Shouguang nodded, and turned his body slightly, just blocking Liu Xie's leaving back.It was this sideways view that he saw Liu Xie raised a middle finger to the courtiers in the hall when he retreated into the back hall: "Forgive me, the ministers who shouted in front of the hall are all rubbish! If you want to solve the Yizhou matter You must first pacify Hanzhong, and if you want to pacify Hanzhong, you must first pass Zhang Lu. Even if you can’t see this point, it’s absurd to argue about who should be sent as Yizhou shepherd!”
