Chapter 501: Conditions for Proclaiming Emperor

Yuan Shu's envoy Yuan Huan was rejected by Liu Bei's righteous words and was inspired by Liu Bei's strength and reliability, so he jumped back on the spot to protect himself.

After this, Xin Ping, the envoy sent by Yuan Shao to find out the verdict, was not much different from seeing or not, and it would not affect any problem. At most, it would just bring a message to Yuan Shao back.

However, the process still has to be done. After lunch that day, Liu Bei recruited Xin Ping in.

Xin Ping can be regarded as acquaintance with Liu Bei. When the governor of Jizhou was still Jia Cong, Xin Ping and Ju Su were already grassroots aides under the governor of Jizhou and were engaged in it.

At that time, Liu Bei also gave Xin Ping some golden cakes, invited him to eat and drink and go to entertainment venues, and asked Xin Ping to help clear the relationship so that Jia Cong could assign the errand to Liu Bei and Li Su the errand "going to Luoyang to inform Zhang Chun's rebellion", and then Liu Bei became rapidly developed.

Considering this relationship, even if Liu Bei is not interested in Yuan Shao's proposal, he is at least quite polite to Xin Ping himself.

After Xin Ping became an expert in the inner court, Liu Bei showed kindness:

"I haven't seen each other for many years, Zhongzhi is fine. Yuan Benchu ​​asked you to come, what's the point of doing? There is a saying that Yuan Huan, the leader of Yuzhou, had just abandoned the secret and turned to the light, confessing all the things that Yuan Shu had done before he tricked him into tempting him.

Gu has now ordered the entire army to prepare for war and attack Yuan Shu, the tyrant who killed the lord. If Yuan Benchu ​​destroys his relatives for justice, everything will be fine. If he intends to protect his brother, there is nothing to talk about."

Xin Ping felt a little nervous. In fact, when he was waiting just now, he had noticed that the movement of troops outside was very disturbing, but he was a guest envoy, so it was not convenient to inquire, and there was no need to inquire. Now, Liu Bei personally admitted that the matter was so serious.

However, this was not too surprising. Xin Ping quickly adjusted his words: "Don't worry, your highness, although Ping is the Mubin of Benchu, he was actually ordered by the King of Yan to come here this time. In fact, the King of Yan has ordered Benchu ​​to fight against the thieves, and Benchu ​​Gong is devoted to serving the country and will never be favored.

What's more, the world has long known that Duke Benchu ​​and Yuan Shu have always been in a disagreement, and have already drawn a clear line. When I came, I should have taken down Xingyang, Chenggao, Zhongmu counties, and went west to Hulao and south to Xu County. It would be great that Your Highness is willing to participate in the grand event."

When Xin Ping usually refers to Yuan Shao, he always calls him "Yuan Gong", but now he awkwardly switches to "Benchu ​​Gong". Obviously, it was because he suddenly heard about Yuan Shu's shocking deeds, and he was really ashamed to mention the word "Yuan".

Liu Bei: "Then what are you doing?"

Xin Ping took a deep breath and prepared his emotions: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. Although Duke Benchu ​​was busy eliminating traitors for the country, he also knew that the principle of the rule was the first. The ministers supported him and thought that the last emperor had no descendants, and that since the clash with Huan Ling, he had all had his descendants.

The plan for the present is quite similar to the Guangwu era. In the Xinmang era, the country of the Han Dynasty was covered with dust. Emperor Guangwu, Yue, and the late Han Dynasty were established. Ai, Ping, and Ruziying were the fourth generation, and he respected Emperor Yuan as the emperor.

Now since Emperor Chongling died young and had no descendants, Qi, Huan and Ling have all been in the surrender of the throne and have been separated from the three generations, as if they were accomplished, Ai and Ping. The late emperor was young and weak, and could be compared with the young and Ziying. The Duke of the Chu and his ministers were willing to elect the King of Yan to succeed the throne.

Therefore, King Bo'an of Yan was the uncle of Emperor Ling, and was the same as Emperor Chong, Zhi and Huan. Now King Yan was the same as Emperor Ling, and was the uncle of Emperor Ling, and was the uncle of the late emperor. He was just following the four vassals and following the emperor, and clashing with the imperial heirs. I don't know what the King of Hanzhong thought? When the King of Hanzhong received the great kindness of the former King of Yan, did he not want to repay him? If he was willing to join the grand ceremony, he could talk about any other conditions."

Liu Bei was stunned and thought to himself that Yuan Shao really dared to think about it.

Is this a hope to use Liu Yu to recommend him to support his kindness and to support him in such a big deal?

This is certainly impossible!

However, Yuan Shao's test also reminded Liu Bei that he could not refuse this matter directly, and there were some skills to refuse, which made the world realize that Liu Bei was still a kind-hearted person. At the same time, Liu He could not support the wall and could not control the position of the emperor.

Fortunately, Liu Bei accompanied Xun You to meet him. Xun You reacted faster and immediately rebuked him:

"Therefore, if the King of Yan is here, he will spread the world in the country, and all the people will fall in love with each other, and the king of our family will always value kindness, so this matter is still to be discussed.

However, the King of Yan was secretly weak and frustrated. When he was sent by the late emperor from the Chang'an court to Youji for help, he did not distinguish between loyalty, treacherous and wise men. When he first arrived in Nanyang, he rashly visited Yuan Shu for help. He was detained by Yuan Shu for help, and became the pawn of Yuan Shu connecting Gongsun Zan to control the King of Yan and Yuan Benchu. If it weren't for the opportunity to escape from this time, it would probably lead to a big disaster!

Now in this chaotic world, the vassal kings who are powerful and virtuous need to inherit the truth and rectify the court's principles. A weak king who is not clear about people and cannot use people will only increase the disaster of being deceived by powerful ministers!

Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu claimed to have been ruthless and destroyed their relatives for justice, they turned out to be so ill-intentioned and wanted to deceive the Han royal family to put their vigilance down and watch their Yuan brothers use their king to disrupt the country!"

Xin Ping was speechless by Xun You. Xun You could be regarded as a bad person who offended others. Xun You did all the dirty work that was broken through diplomacy and persuaded him to go.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Su had to find an excuse to avoid and go to governor the southern army. With Li Su's friendship with Liu Bei, it is really unreasonable to be in front of this kind of scene of acting, and his appearance is too ugly.

Xin Ping was speechless for a while and didn't know how to respond to this declaration of "being in the same way as the alliance". After all, in his mind, he always felt that "Yuan Shao and Liu Bei were still in an allies before, and it was a loose alliance that Yang Xiu had negotiated in the middle." Why did Yuan Shu kill the lord and reach this point directly?

I can only blame Xin Ping for not being a high-end diplomatic talent. He was assigned this task by Yuan Shao because he had some friendship with Liu Bei. He had a shot with no dates.

Xun You saw Xin Ping's stammering and exchanged a look with Liu Bei. Seeing Liu Bei nodding slightly, his eyes were kind, Xun You continued:

"However, whether Duke Benchu ​​really did what he said and was willing to break up with Yuan Shu's kindness depends on what he did. It is better to observe his actions than to observe his actions. The benevolence and virtue of the Hanzhong king always regarded the punishment of the traitor Yuan Shu as the first priority. Before Yuan Shu died, the Hanzhong king did not want to conflict with the army. If you really regard yourself as a Han minister, you should do it yourself."

Xun You's compensation can be regarded as a buffer for the full war between Liu Bei and Yuan Shao: Even if there are two emperors in the world in the future, they will inevitably have to be divided into the superiority, but the first step is to kill the tyrants of the ruthless country.

Whoever can contribute more to the destruction of tyrants in the ruthless country will naturally win more expectations from the world and the recognition of other swaying princes.

If anyone attacked the other party before Yuan Shu was rectified, it would be more or less a destruction of the great cause of eliminating thieves. Even if he gained a little profit, he would lose a lot of points in diplomacy and politics, and would be found by other princes to criticize him.

Although there are not many other princes, they are just Caosun, their attitudes and tendencies to admit are still valuable. Even for the sake of their recognition, they cannot lose a lot of money for the gains and losses of a county and a city.

After Xun You finished speaking about the conditions, Liu Bei personally appeared on the stage, put on a nostalgic character, comforted Xin Ping a few words, and kept him for dinner, and then let him go and replied to Yuan Shao.

In addition, although Yuan Huan surrendered to Liu Bei, the envoys sent by Yuan Shu also included adjutants and servants. In addition to Yuan Huan's personal confidant, the others would be put back and gave Yuan Shu a message and let him wash his neck and wait for death.

After seeing off all the envoys, Liu Bei was tired after working hard for a day. Just as he was about to rest, Xun You seemed a little disdainful and wanted to chat with him about some earth-shaking events overnight.

Liu Bei couldn't help but wonder: "It's getting late, why don't Gongda rest?"

Xun You took a deep breath: "King, today's Xin Ping reprinted Yuan Shao's plan, although it is absurd and perverse, it also provides us with convenience...

Liu He wanted to follow Emperor Guangwu, like Cheng Aiping Ruziying, and skip Zhi Huanling and the former emperor to pursue the successor of Emperor Kao. In fact, the king can also use this method, but the king is not interested? The emperor died prematurely and honored as the emperor. However, he can respect Emperor Shun as the emperor's ancestor."

To be honest, Emperor Chong of Han died in his childhood, so he could not recognize Emperor Chong of Han as his father, but it was OK to recognize Emperor Chong of Han as his grandfather.

Like Liu Xiu, it is so beautiful that "even if you become an emperor and resurrect, the world will not be able to be regained."

All of these are ready-made systems that can directly get cheap.

Liu Bei had obviously thought of this issue for a long time. At this moment, Xun You directly mentioned the details of the execution level, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Liu Bei thought for a while and sighed, "There is no master in the world, and the world is wandering. If the destiny of heaven is lonely and the destiny of heaven will not be taken, and he will be blamed, how dare you refuse? However, you should be cautious first. It is still possible to wait for several months. Now you have to fight Yuan Shu first and win several big victories so that the destiny of heaven will be convincing, otherwise you will be ashamed to talk about this matter."

Liu Bei's meaning is to delay the momentum for a few months, make some preparations, and by the way, look forward to some military achievements to add icing on the cake to become emperor.

After all, when Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty in history, it happened at the end of the tenth month of the lunar calendar the previous year, and Liu Bei's proclaimed emperor occurred in March and April of the following year, which was five months apart.

Even if the road to Shu was difficult in history and the transmission of the news itself took a few months, it also means that Liu Bei had prepared for three or four months in order to become emperor. In addition, he had to persuade him to refuse twice in the middle, and he had to collect auspiciousness, and he had to prepare for local loyalty. This time is definitely not long.

Liu Bei now asked to prepare on one side and arrange the system of what may be used for the ceremony. On the other side, he hoped to win a big military victory.

Whether Yuan Shao succeeds or Liu Bei succeeds, at least one of Yuan Shu’s existing two most important bases, Luoyang and Wancheng, must be removed. Even if Yuan Shu himself cannot be killed, he can explain to the world.

Only by taking advantage of the victory to become emperor can one be auspicious and stable.

Seeing that Liu Bei accepted it in principle, Xun You did not advise him any more, but he still needed time to prepare step by step.

Now it is said that from tomorrow, we will carefully plan the strategy of attacking Hangu Pass or Yuguan Pass and Wuguan to see how the northern line recovers Wan and Luo.

At the same time, we will also pay attention to the battlefield on the southern front to see if Li Su, who should have gone north from Changsha County to fight against the thieves, led Zhao Yun and Gan Ning and others to win any results. After all, they were only separated from Yuan Shu’s territory by Liu Biao, but there was no danger of mountain pass and plank road.

They didn't know that in fact, Li Su had actually made some progress on the battlefield on the southern front, but the road was thousands of miles apart, and the enemy-occupied area was still in the middle, so the news could not be conveyed.

Moreover, Liu Bei's rejection of Yuan Shu and surrendering Yuan Huan also caused another diplomatic adventure by Yuan Shu, which also led to more variables on the battlefield on the southern front, which are all later stories.
