Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 779 Respecting Liu Wei as Supreme

"Chen Ma Chao (Zhong Hui) sees His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Entering the palace, although Liu Ren is Liu An's bodyguard, he is not qualified to enter the court, so Ma Chao and Zhonghui have to enter the palace by themselves.

"The two generals are exempt!"

With a wave of Liu An's hand, Ma Chao and Zhong Hui stood up, and Ma Chao retreated to the ranks of generals.But Zhong Hui asked: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness, where is Your Majesty?"

"presumptuous!"

Before Liu An could speak, Pang Tong stood up and scolded in a deep voice: "Zhong Hui, what do you think you are, the crown prince hasn't spoken yet, so there's no place for you to speak here!"

"Pang Da, your words are a bit far-fetched. I think all the civil and military officials present also want to ask this question, but Quanzi raised it first!"

Zhong Yao stood up and spoke for Zhong Hui.

"Lord Zhong, what's the situation with Your Majesty?"

Pang Tong dropped a word in a nonchalant manner, and stepped back.

Zhong Yao also retreated, and signaled his son Zhong Hui to go back too, but Zhong Hui ignored his father's wink, but knelt down, and said to Liu An, "I have the guts to ask His Royal Highness again, where is Your Majesty?"

Liu An smiled faintly: "General Zhong, get up first, what I'm going to talk about today is about my father!"

"Here!"

Zhong Hui got up and retreated to the ranks of generals.

Liu An then said: "Everyone must be dissatisfied with being under house arrest in the palace for the past few days, and also want to know where my father has gone. Of course, you will also guess that my father is no longer in the palace. Since today General Zhong and General Ma are back, so I won’t hide it anymore, the Son of Heaven, my father Liu Wei is indeed not in Changle Palace!”

"Wow...!"

Civil and military officials were in an uproar, whispering to each other, and some even discussed it loudly.

"Quiet!"

Liu An patted the armrest of the dragon chair, and all civil and military officials shut up.The court was quiet again.

"Then dare to ask His Royal Highness, where is His Majesty now?"

Chen Qun asked.

"I don't know either! Father disappeared when he was in Yuzhou and never came back!"

"boom!"

Liu An's words were like a thunderbolt, hitting everyone's hearts.

"So, His Majesty disappeared during the battle between Yuzhou and Jingzhou army!"

Tai Shici looked gloomy and looked at Pang Tong and Yue Xi angrily.

"Yes!"

Yuexi lowered his head: "I am incompetent and failed to bring His Majesty back. I am willing to be punished. Chen Yuexi is willing to resign as a general!"

Yuexi put down the ivory board in his hand.

"What's the point of your resignation? Can His Majesty come back after you resign? You two trash, even if you are dragged out and beheaded, it will be difficult to get rid of your sins!"

Tai Shici roared in a deep voice.

"General Taishi, forget it, I was very annoyed when I first found out that my father was missing, but what's the use of being angry, even if I punish them harshly, my father will never come back!"

Liu An seemed to be comforting Tai Shici and let him calm down his anger, but there was something in his words, and the meaning in his words was nothing more than that Liu Wei would not come back, let them accept this fact.

After Liu An finished speaking, civil and military officials had different opinions. Liu Wei's diehard loyalists, such as Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Tian Feng and others, dared not speak out. After all, Liu An was the prince, and Liu Wei's absence was his biggest .However, officials like Xu You and Hua Xin, who only think about their own interests, are considering whether Liu Wei will continue to assist Liu An or find someone else.

Guo Jia, who stood at the head of the civil servants, closed his eyes and remained silent.

Liu An continued: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. The life and death of the father is uncertain. As the heir, I should provoke the leader, that is, the son inherits the father's business!"

"what?"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were restless again, and Juhu asked: "The prince means to ascend the throne?"

"Hmm! A snake can't do without a head!"

"Then dare to ask His Royal Highness, His Majesty's life or death is uncertain. If you want to ascend the throne, do you have the Queen's order?"

Juhu asked.

"Well, my mother, I have been unwell for the past few days, and outsiders are not allowed to test it. I haven't received my mother's order yet!"

I'm really afraid of what will happen. Cai Wenji disagrees with Liu An's ascension to the throne, so how could he promulgate a decree?
"Juhu, although the queen is the mother of the country, but the queen is a woman, how can she be involved in politics, the prince can just choose an auspicious day when he ascends the throne, why do you need the queen's order!"

Pang Tong naturally knew that Cai Wenji disagreed with Liu An's ascension to the throne, so in order for Liu An to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, he naturally wanted to speak to Liu An.

Juhu was speechless after being scolded by Pang Tong, unable to refute.

"Dare to ask my colleagues, who still has objections to the crown prince's enthronement?"

Pang Tong simply went to the end, stood in front of all civil and military officials, and asked loudly.

Guo Jia, who was standing in the front row, opened his eyes and looked at this friend who talked about everything on weekdays. However, Pang Tong felt so strange to him now, just like another person, staring at Pang Tong for a while After that, Guo Jia closed his eyes again.

Pang Tong is so powerful, and Liu An is the heir apparent. When Liu Wei is not around, or even Liu Wei may be dead, who of them will stroke Liu An's beard.

"Since no one has any objections, let's choose an auspicious day to invite His Royal Highness to ascend the throne and honor His Majesty as the Supreme Emperor!"

How dare the civil and military officials have any objections, even if they have opinions, they dare not speak out, and they all acquiesce.

Liu An also showed a smile on his face, and waved his hand: "Retire!"

Xiao Huangmen shouted sharply: "Retire!"

Liu An turned around and left the court hall, and the civil and military officials of the whole court also filed out.

Only Guo Jia stood where he was, watching Liu An's back, and just kept watching.

"No, I'm afraid this big man will not be safe, I have to go find Yuan Zhi!"

Guo Jia walked out of the palace quickly, got into the carriage, and ordered the driver to go to Xu Shu's house.

Guo Jia told Xu Shu what happened in the court today.

Xu Shu was calm on the surface, poured a cup of tea for Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "Do you think His Majesty will fall so easily?"

"Yuanzhi, what does this mean?"

Guo Jia asked puzzledly.

Xu Shu took a sip of tea lightly: "For a while now, I have been watching the sky every night, and found that the Ziwei star in the north is dim, but there is no sign of falling, although it was once so dim that it was covered by the bright light of the Pojun star. , but these days are slowly getting brighter, so I affirm that nothing will happen to Your Majesty!"

"However, Liu An's ascension to the throne is a done deal. Even if His Majesty returns, it will be too late!"

Guo Jia said worriedly.

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Your Majesty has survived several catastrophes. As the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. When misfortune is avoided, good fortune will come. I think that as long as the king returns, Your Majesty will not be far away from the day when the world will be unified." Far!"

Xu Shu was not worried.
