Liu Yan had also thought about the crises he might encounter after becoming emperor, but he still had a sense of luck in his heart.

Moreover, he is indeed too old, and there is probably not much time left. It is worthwhile to experience the feeling of an emperor for the last time during his lifetime. Who will care about his flood after I die?

So despite the opposition and dissuasion of many people, he still made the same stupid decision as Yuan Shu in history and proclaimed himself emperor!

Soon, the news that Liu Yan proclaimed himself emperor spread throughout the world.

A big man actually appeared as two emperors at the same time! Almost everyone understood that the big man was no longer in name only.

The appearance of such a ridiculous thing immediately sparked the minds of countless thoughtful people, and they began to secretly plan matters such as becoming king and emperor.

At a time when the two forces in Chang'an and Yizhou were accusing each other of being false emperors and engaging in a war of words, and the princes of the world were secretly planning their own affairs. As the mastermind behind the scenes, Yuan Shu was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai in Jiangdong, watching the changes in the world with a smile.

"Heaven and earth are the chess game, and all the people are the chess pieces. Now the chess game has been played, right?" Yuan Shu murmured while looking at the information sent by Guo Jia.

Although the world was in chaos, Yuan Shu would not let go of his fears and worries as long as the Han Dynasty survived. Only by completely bringing down the Han Dynasty could Yuan Shu feel at ease.

Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, the jade seal was delivered to Gongsun Zan by Li Ru, and now even the emperor has been assassinated by Yuan Shu.

The three orthodox symbols of the Han Dynasty no longer exist, and the remaining power can only be erased by time.

Ten years, at most ten years. Even if it remains as it is now, Han orthodoxy will no longer exist in ten years, and will be replaced by a situation similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Before that, what Yuan Shu had to do was to become a force like Qiang Qin, and finally sweep across the princes and unify the world.

"Fengxiao, does Liu Biao agree?"

Guo Jia nodded: "He has no choice. What else can he do besides obeying us?"

Yuan Shu thought of Liu Biao's shrewd but slightly mean look: "I didn't expect Liu Biao to be so unbearable. I'm afraid only Liu Yu, a descendant of the Han Dynasty, can handle it."

Guo Jiadao: "Has my lord forgotten Liu Bei? His reputation and ability are not bad, and he will definitely be my lord's formidable enemy in the future. Moreover, rumors have spread from Yuzhou to Jiangdong recently, saying that my lord is the second Wang Mang."

Yuan Shu smiled coldly: "Then Liu Bei is the second Liu Xiu? He is overestimating his abilities! Do you really think that he is a son of the same plane as Liu Xiu? I am afraid it is not Liu Xuande who is destined to be destined."

Guo Jia solemnly said: "But my lord, you should also take this as a lesson. What you did is not much different from Wang Mang's. The reasons for Wang Mang's failure must be clear to you, lord. Liu Xiu's success is certainly due to destiny, but Wang Mang

Failure is what people want."

Indeed, many of Yuan Shu's policies and ideas are very similar to Wang Mang's. Guo Jia and others even believed that Yuan Shu wanted to inherit Wang Mang's ideas.

Yuan Shu smiled: "Don't worry, Fengxiao. Wang Mang's thoughts are indeed too advanced. Although I admire him, I will not follow his old path. People's hearts are not the hearts of the people, but the hearts of the scholars. I still understand this.

of."

Guo Jia solemnly said: "My lord, just understand. Wang Mang is the British master, but he was defeated by the people's hearts. Whether a king is successful or a bandit is defeated, justice does not depend on the people's hearts, but on the population. In today's world, only scholars have the right to speak.

So the human heart is not the human heart, but the heart of a scholar. And the heart of a scholar is now the heart of a noble family."

Yuan Shu chuckled lightly: "Yes! Isn't it because I am so tolerant and compromised towards the noble family that they represent the world and the people's hearts?"

"However, the trend is irreversible. I believe that the Han family will eventually rise up one day, and the aristocratic family will eventually be pulled down from the altar and compete with the Han family."

Seeing Yuan Shu's confident look, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Jia also believes that this day will come. Maybe in the hands of the lord, Jia will see all this."

"Naturally, it is my Yuan family who will bring chaos to the world, and I, Yuan Shu, will do my part to bring peace to the world. If it were not for the family, why would I have to settle in the southeast and conquer the world?"

Everything started from an aristocratic family, and it was the Guandong aristocratic family headed by the Yuan family. From Dong Zhuo's Rebellion to the present, the aristocratic family was behind everything. Yuan Shu's assassination of Liu Xie could not be concealed from others, but not from the aristocratic family.

's eyes and ears.

With the eyes and ears of the family all over the world, they could easily detect that the person behind this incident was Yuan Shu. However, because there was no evidence and there was no need to quarrel with Yuan Shu, they did not jump out and even helped him along the way.

Yuan Shu never believed that he could hide the truth from the world, as long as he did not leave any evidence. At this time, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, all criticisms can only be called frame-up.

Therefore, Yuan Shu is not anxious at all, and he does not dare to be anxious. Even if Liu Yan proclaims himself emperor, Yuan Shu does not dare to show his face, so as not to arouse criticism from the surrounding princes.

After all, anyone who has benefited from this whole thing will know if he uses his brain. Now Yuan Shu only needs to be an invisible man and silently observe everyone's actions from behind. If he takes the lead, many people will probably want him.

Let's unite and destroy him, the number one prince in the world.

"Fengxiao, Liu Yan has already proclaimed himself emperor, who do you think will proclaim himself emperor and king next?"

Guo Jiadao: "It doesn't matter to anyone. What we should pay most attention to now is Gongsun Zan. The imperial seal is in his hands, and he is still a reckless man. Now that Liu Yu has left Youzhou, and there is no one to control him, maybe this person

It can bring us quite a surprise.”

Yuan Shu also thought of the irritable and straightforward man, and frowned: "No matter how stupid Gongsun Zan is, he would not dare to call himself king or emperor! You must know that Liu Yu's last sentence was very clear! He is not afraid of Youzhou scholars.

Are you rioting?"

Guo Jiaxin said: "Gongsun Zan never cares about these things, nor does he care about whether he is proclaimed king or emperor. He is just a simple general and is not good at politics at all, so he probably doesn't understand what will happen if he proclaims himself king or emperor.

What are you facing?"

"Moreover, it is precisely because of what Liu Yu said back then that Gongsun Zan is more likely to surprise us. You must know that the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu is incompatible!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shu nodded doubtfully: "I hope! If Gongsun Zan can really do what you said, then we won't have to work hard to take action secretly!"

Yuan Shu said helplessly: "It's a pity that we don't have many manpower in Youzhou. Otherwise, it would be better to encourage them a little. Now it just depends on luck."

Guo Jiadao: "Don't worry, my lord, with Gongsun Zan's strong character, he will definitely not dare to claim the throne as Liu Yu thinks."

"What other moves have Cao Cao and Liu Bei made recently? Why do these two guys seem to be getting together now?"

Due to various reasons, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, who were supposed to be tit-for-tat, strangely stood on the same side. And because of the alliance between these two people, the entire Central Plains showed a unified trend, which gave Yuan Shu a headache.

It seems that he really took a step too far, and even aroused the fear of the entire Central Plains. If these four forces really maintain this balance, Yuan Shu will really be unable to move. In that case, I am afraid that all the arrangements and efforts

It would have to be wasted.

Now that the situation in Yizhou is turbulent, it is a good time for Yuan Shu to advance his army. However, because of the eager eyes of the Central Plains princes, Yuan Shu has not dared to take action.

Guo Jia saw Yuan Shu's worries and comforted him: "Don't worry, my lord, the unity of the Central Plains is just a facade. As long as the balance is slightly disturbed, the Central Plains will immediately fall into chaos. After all, regarding the issue of Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Cao Cao will never
