Three hundred and fortieth chapters can be king
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" When Boss Cao heard Liu Xie's words, he immediately stopped him in a panic.
"The Great Ancestor had his ancestral precepts back then. If someone with the surname Liu was not the king, the whole world would attack him! Your Majesty must not do this and break the ancestral precepts!"
Lu Bu on the side also realized at this time. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid either.
Who in the world doesn't want to be crowned a king? But since he has decided to submit to the imperial court, he can no longer think about this matter.
However, even so, deep down in his heart, Lu Bu still hoped that his title could be promoted.
After all, no one would dislike his high title. After doing so much, doesn’t he just want a good background and a glorious ancestor?
Liu Xie looked at the two of them, and he could feel that Boss Cao was really frightened and frightened, but Lu Bu's words were filled with fear and a hint of desire.
Liu Xie felt that this desire was normal, just as the saying in later generations said, soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers.
Liu Xie is not afraid of Cao Cao. People like Lu Bu have ambitions for titles. Having ambitions proves that they have selfish desires and can control them.
What he is afraid of now is the kind of person who has no idea about the title and just wants to kill you.
Because Liu Xie has no way to bribe such a person, he can only fight with him. This will waste a lot of time and increase the internal losses of the Han Dynasty.
Just like people like Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.
On the contrary, for people like Boss Cao, who has a desire for a title in his heart, it is easy to control him.
As for the great ancestor Liu Bang who said that no one with the surname Liu could be the king, Liu Xie felt that the problem was not big.
Because, in his plan, it is not that Wang Jue cannot be given, but Wang Jue's rights need to be limited.
For Liu Xie, a prince who only has the title of prince but no real power is more of an honor.
And this kind of honor can just satisfy the desires of some people. Isn’t that great?
"Two dear friends, needless to say, I have my own plans for this matter, and this matter is settled." Liu Xie looked at Boss Cao and Lu Bu and said slowly.
"But, Your Majesty, this is the legacy of our great ancestor." Boss Cao still had some doubts after hearing Liu Xie's words.
"The method of the Great Ancestor came from the beginning of the founding of our great Han Dynasty. At that time, the people of the world were still undecided."
"After eight hundred years of the Great Zhou and King Xiang, the remnants of the six kingdoms were unwilling to give up. They wanted to restore the system of the Great Zhou and become kings and hegemons. That's why Emperor Gaozu had such a legacy."
"It has been more than 400 years since the Han Dynasty was founded. Everything that happened back then has long since disappeared. Now the people are thinking of the Han Dynasty, so even if they are crowned kings, it will not matter."
"However, the prince I want to be granted only has the name of prince and does not have a fiefdom, so it is not a big problem." Liu Xie thought about it for a while, but still convinced Boss Cao.
And when Boss Cao heard what Liu Xie said, what else could he say? After all, to be honest, in his heart, he also longed to be crowned king.
Seeing that Boss Cao was no longer worrying about this matter, Liu Xie didn't want to say anything more about it.
Later, after Liu Xie, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu discussed some follow-up arrangements, they told them to step up training of their soldiers after returning to their bases, and then asked them to retreat.
After Boss Cao and Lu Bu heard Liu Xie's words and clarified their roles and tasks in the battle not long after, they quickly stood up and left.
The words were divided into two parts. After Yuan Shao and Liu Bei were "gifted" by Boss Cao and others, the group headed east and arrived at the ferry crossing of Baimayi.
Looking at the surging river, Yuan Shao probably would never have thought that the biggest defeat in his life in history would have happened here.
There must be endless anger in Yuan Shao's heart. He felt that his trip to Luoyang did not achieve his goal. Instead, he was taught a lesson by the little emperor of Luoyang City.
This was somewhat difficult for Yuan Shao to accept.
"Benchu, what do you think we should do in the future?"
While Yuan Shao was still on the bank, looking at the rushing river, he suddenly remembered Liu Bei's voice behind him.
When Yuan Shao heard this voice, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.
The reason why Yuan Shao attracted Liu Bei before was because of Liu Bei's identity and his subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
But now he realized that Liu Bei, who seemed honest and honest on the surface, was actually a sanctimonious hypocrite.
Even the mantra that he usually talks about after Prince Bino Nakayama Yasushi is a lie.
Yuan Shao said that he looked down upon people who pretended to elevate their status.
However, Yuan Shao did not dare to reveal his inner thoughts at this time.
After all, the idea of going to Beijing to damage Liu Xie's reputation did not come true. Now he must win over Liu Bei and rely on the power of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei.
"Oh, it's Xuande." Yuan Shao thought of this and slowly turned his head. There must be no contempt on Yuan Shao's face, but only gentleness.
"Hey, Xuande, now we are at a disadvantage. We can only go back to our respective stations and act with caution." Yuan Shao retreated in order to advance, and he was said to him.
As Liu Bei is a man who is good at scheming, he can naturally understand Yuan Shao's thoughts. Doesn't he just want to raise his troops and let him speak for himself?
In the past, Liu Bei might have chosen to play Tai Chi with Yuan Shao to shirk each other out of concern for his face.
However, this time, when he went to Luoyang, Liu Xie ruthlessly tore up his imperial uncle's false identity, which made him a little anxious.
You must know that he was originally just a mat weaver and shoe seller in Zhuozhou. It was because of his status as the emperor's uncle that he attracted a large number of his subordinates.
Now, suddenly, the identity of the imperial uncle was gone, which made Liu Bei very anxious. He didn't know how the people would view him after returning to Xuzhou.
Moreover, will those Xuzhou aristocratic families support me as always?
Liu Bei did not answer these questions, so he now needs Yuan Shao, whether it is to borrow Yuan Shao's identity or Yuan Shao's strength.
If Liu Bei wants to stabilize Xuzhou, he cannot do without Yuan Shao. Under this premise, not to mention that Yuan Shao just wants to get the proposal of raising troops from Liu Bei's mouth. Even if he learns from Lu Bu, it is not impossible.
"At first, Bei did not expect that when we came to the capital this time to warn the emperor and stay away from the sycophants, the emperor would be very angry."
"It seems like we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, sooner or later the Han Dynasty's world will be brought to ruin by those sycophants in the court."
"Although Bei is not talented, he is also a member of the Han family, so Bei plans to step up military training after returning to Xuzhou, and wait until the autumn harvest to raise troops to clear the emperor's side!" Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shao and said.
Yuan Shao heard that by this time Liu Bei had clearly been exposed by the emperor as a fake clan member, but he still lived as a clan member.
Yuan Shao suddenly admired Liu Bei's shamelessness.
