Lu Dynasty

Chapter 625 Let Jiang Xia

Sun Ce felt that Liu Qi was by no means his opponent, but he forgot that there was another Liu Bei who supported Liu Qi in Jingzhou.However, even if Sun Ce remembered Liu Bei, he would not take Liu Bei to heart!When Hulao was locked up, Sun Ce refused to accept Hua Xiong at all. If Sun Jian didn't stop him in every possible way, Sun Ce would have gone to compete with Hua Xiong long ago.As for Lu Bu, Sun Ce never considered himself inferior to him.Shamoke, Wei Yanjia and Liu Bei were not Lu Bu's opponents, and Sun Ce looked down on them even more.Coupled with the arrogance of the aristocratic family, it would be strange if Sun Ce could take Liu Bei who weaves mats and sold shoes in his heart!
Liu Bei took Sha Moke and Wei Yan to Jiangxia soon. Liu Qi saw that they were very happy, and entertained them again and again. I am incompetent and cannot take care of such a big city like Jiangxia. Originally, when my father was alive, I had no choice but to take over this position to save my life. Now that my father has passed away, it will not be good for the people of Jiangxia if I stay in this position any longer! Please uncle take care of my father's face and take care of Jiang Xia for him, so as to comfort my father's spirit in heaven!"

I have to say that Liu Bei's luck is really good, people give him land everywhere, but unfortunately he just can't keep it!Seeing Liu Qi's behavior, Liu Bei thought that Liu Qi was trying to test him, so Liu Bei said sternly: "Who do you think I am? Seize Jingzhou. Now that you are being disturbed by Jiangdong Sun Ce, I am also here to help you! You hand over Jiang Xia to make people think that I intend to seize Jiang Xia. Where do you want to put me? If my nephew can’t trust me , I’m going back to Xinye!”

Seeing that Liu Bei was a little annoyed, Liu Qi quickly apologized with a smile and said, "Don't be annoyed, uncle. Who doesn't know that you are so righteous, but my nephew has no talent at all, and Jiang Xia's government affairs are very heavy, so I can't bear to bother me. Just dealing with money, grain and government affairs , the nephew is already powerless, as long as there is a strong enemy, the nephew will have to ask his uncle to help him, in this case, why not ask his uncle to stay in Jiangxia for a long time, and the nephew will be at ease! If outsiders say that uncle is wrong, Naturally, my nephew will come forward to clarify, and I hope my uncle will understand my nephew's sincerity, and take over the post of Jiangxia prefect!" After Liu Qi finished speaking, he couldn't afford the ceremony for a long time, and Liu Bei was a little helpless, either accepting it or not accepting it!
Sha Moke was about to speak, but Wei Yan stopped him, it is better to let Liu Bei decide this kind of thing.Last time in Xuzhou, Wei Yan persuaded Liu Bei to take Xuzhou Mu, and Liu Bei had already complained about it a lot. If they still persuade him now, Liu Bei might be angry.It would be a lie to say that Liu Bei really didn't want Jiang Xia, but he cared about his own reputation, and he didn't dare to accept what he could obviously accept.Tao Qian and Liu Qi gave in sincerely, but he just didn't want to accept it. He regretted it when he was captured by others!This has been the case in history, and it is still the case now!Liu Bei supported Liu Qi and said with a smile: "I know my nephew sincerely let me, but after all, my nephew is brother Jingsheng's eldest son. If you don't study hard now to deal with government affairs and military affairs, you will defeat Cai Mao in the future and restore brother Jingsheng's foundation. How do you take care of it? I hope my nephew will live up to brother Jing Sheng's expectations!"

Liu Qi never thought of inheriting Liu Biao's foundation. He has self-knowledge and knows that he is not the master who can survive in troubled times!But he is really depressed now, others can't grab the land, and there are still people who give it away for nothing!Liu Qi said helplessly: "How can my uncle not know what kind of person I am! If you talk about talent, reciting poems and composing odes, and being an official with swords and brushes, I am more than outstanding! But governing states and counties is really not my specialty! Uncle He is a rare hero in the world, and my father was full of praise when he was still alive! Back then, my father also wanted to entrust Jingzhou to his uncle, but his uncle refused! Now in troubled times, my nephew knows that he is not the one who can preserve his foundation. Please also ask my uncle to help my nephew, so that my nephew can live in troubled times!" Liu Qi burst into tears after speaking, his posture is quite true to Liu Bei!

Sha Moke and Wei Yan looked at Liu Bei's anxious movements, but they couldn't speak yet.Just when Liu Bei and Liu Qi shied away from each other, and Samoke and Wei Yan had nothing to do, Zhuge Liang arrived!Zhuge Liang, who followed his servants to the chamber, saw Liu Bei and Liu Qi holding each other's arms, and Liu Qi was still in tears, Zhuge Liang didn't understand.You know, it is usually Liu Bei who likes to cry!Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "What are the eldest son and the lord doing?"

Liu Qi met Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang's sister married Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong. Pang Degong and Liu Biao were also considered relatives, and even Zhuge Liang was also Liu Biao's relatives, so Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang were also considered relatives!If Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying got married, his marriage with the four major families in Jingzhou would be even closer, but unfortunately Huang Yueying ran away!This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang wanted Jingzhou so much in history, but he didn't take the initiative to kill Liu Biao, because Liu Biao was Zhuge Liang's uncle!When Liu Qi saw Zhuge Liang, he didn't understand why he appeared here. Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw Zhuge Liang, and he hurriedly said, "Military Master, help me persuade the eldest son to let him guard Brother Jing Sheng's foundation!"

"Cousin, help me persuade my uncle!" Liu Qi heard that Zhuge Liang was Liu Bei's military adviser, and he was not stupid, so he hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang for help, but Zhuge Liang didn't even know what happened!However, Liu Bei, Sha Moke, and Wei Yan were taken aback. They didn't know that Zhuge Liang was Liu Qi's relative!

Liu Bei asked, "Why does my nephew call the military master his cousin?"

Liu Qi laughed and said: "Uncle doesn't know, Kong Ming's elder sister married Pang Degong's son, and my family and the Jingxiang family are all married, so my father is brother Kong Ming's uncle, so he is my cousin! Now that even my cousin has joined my uncle, please ask my uncle to accept the seal of the prefect of Jiangxia!"

Hearing the four words in Jiangxia Taishou's big seal, Zhuge Liang immediately understood that Liu Qi wanted to give Jiangxia to Liu Bei.Zhuge Liang originally came for Jiang Xia, Liu Qi was so kind, but Liu Bei refused to accept it, which made him very anxious!But Liu Bei's attitude is very clear, and he is not good at disobeying Liu Bei's wishes. After thinking for a while, Zhuge Liang suddenly thought about it, and he said with a smile: "The eldest son sincerely surrenders, but the lord is worried about losing his reputation. Why don't the lord take over Jiang Xia's military administration first?" Let the eldest son be freed from the heavy military and political affairs, as for the future, how about we talk about it later?" Zhuge Liang's move is actually a copy of the trick of coercing the emperor to make the princes, Liu Qi heard Zhuge Liang say this, and he naturally agreed.As long as he can offload important military and political tasks, Liu Qi can fade out of officialdom.When Liu Bei occupies Jingzhou, Liu Qi, as Liu Bei's nephew, has made contributions to Jiangxia, so he can live in peace!As long as Jingzhou is not lost, Liu Qi can live comfortably!Liu Bei will never be so stupid that he took down Jingzhou by himself, and return Jingzhou to Liu Qi!
