Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi with confusion. He actually saw panic and hesitation from the calmness of Chen Xi's eyes. He had never seen Chen Xi fearful in so many years. As for hesitation, Chen Xi had been hesitating about what to eat for lunch today. Today
What to eat at night? Is this hesitation?
[How should I choose? When the news of Emperor Xie's death came, I was angry at first, but after I entered Chang'an City, other thoughts came to my mind. I was actually surprised.] Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi.
Thinking silently.
[I also coveted this position. I set so many restrictions at the time, but they couldn't stop my coveting. There used to be so many restrictions to not shake the emperor. I want to be the Duke of Zhou, but now...
】There was almost a battle between heaven and man in Liu Bei's mind.
[The Duke of Zhou is also surnamed Ji. He has not yet touched the throne of his brother and nephew. Do I want to touch it? No, it is different now. The surname of Ji was Yanmian, but now someone from the Liu family must shoulder the responsibility.
It is my duty as the flag bearer...] Liu Bei gradually convinced himself in his heart.
"I..." Liu Bei spoke slowly, preparing to summon the old and important ministers of the Han Dynasty. He knew very well that as long as he gave the order, no matter whether it was Liu Zhang, Liu Yu, Cao Cao or Sun Ce, no one would be able to do this.
If the time stops him, he will open his mouth and ascend to the throne.
At this moment, Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei, Liu Ye looked at Liu Bei, Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei, and Zhou Yu looked at Liu Bei, because Liu Bei's next words would determine the fate of everyone here.
"Brother, the emperor has passed away and has no descendants. Why not invite important ministers to discuss matters and establish a new king to avoid shaking the country's foundation." Zhang Fei suddenly said, and Guan Yu's eyes lit up.
"No, the throne is put aside. The throne is put aside. It is a crime to not investigate the death of the emperor and to talk about establishing a new king!" Liu Bei suddenly stood up and said, "From now on, we will first find out the causes and consequences of the Weiyang fire. If the matter is unknown, it is a crime to talk about the new king.
crime!"
Both Cao Cao and Sun Ce were startled. Although Sun Ce's brain was all about muscles, when everyone looked at Liu Bei just now, Sun Ce also understood. He thought they were comrades in arms, but Liu Bei might have gotten it.
The throne of emperor.
So when Liu Bei said this, Cao Cao and Sun Ce both asked themselves, if they were in that position, could they say such a thing?
"Cao Mengde, from now on you will thoroughly investigate the Weiyang fire. This matter is unknown. All important ministers have rejected the idea of establishing a new king!" Liu Bei directly ordered Cao Cao.
"Okay!" Cao Cao saluted Liu Bei sincerely at this moment.
"Sun Bofu, it's up to you to search everywhere in Chang'an to determine the cause of what happened in Chang'an!" Liu Bei turned to Sun Ce and ordered, and Sun Ce also cupped his fists and saluted.
"Zichuan, come with me to pick up Liu Jiyu." Liu Bei turned to Chen Xi and said.
Chen Xi was stunned at first, but after Liu Bei left, Chen Xi realized what he was doing and quickly saluted Cao Cao and others before going after Liu Bei.
Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
"What did Zichuan instill in my lord, and it actually makes sense." Jia Xu sent a message to Guo Jia and said, "I have no hope at all."
"I don't have any hope, I just try my best." Guo Jia also said in a dazed voice to Jia Xu, "Even this kind of thing can be explained."
"But this is good, this is good." Both of them were glad that Liu Bei actually blocked everyone's words. It was a complete turn of events!
As for the others, Xun Yu and Zhou Yu now have happy expressions on their faces, and they also show respect for Liu Bei's character. As for the other people under Cao Sun's command, although they are puzzled, they have to agree with Liu Bei's morality.
On the contrary, Liu Bei sighed with helplessness, but he didn't say anything. Liu Bei's choice was not too unexpected. After all, according to Liu Bei's oath early in the morning, this choice was very logical.
Of course, there are some people who scold Liu Bei for being stupid in their hearts, but unfortunately, there are really no one who dares to say so bluntly. After Liu Xie's death, Liu Bei, who was originally under one person, had no one above him.
Liu Bei and Chen Xi walked a long distance one after another. They met many eunuchs and maids on the way. When they saw them, they all bowed and saluted, which was quite respectful.
Compared with the big shots at the top, these little guys at the bottom have a very clear understanding of Liu Bei's ascension to the throne, a major event that concerns their lives.
"Zichuan, are you still scared?" Liu Bei, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
"Well, I was scared before, but now, my mind is in chaos." Chen Xi sighed and said, "I don't understand what happened at all now."
"But you have already taken the most correct response." Liu Bei said calmly.
"It's just a conditioned reflex, basically without thinking. For me, having measures to deal with any situation is better than panic." Chen Xi sighed and said, "What on earth do you think, Mr. Xuande? What does the throne mean to you now?"
It’s at your fingertips.”
"The throne, Zichuan, are there times when you can't see through it?" Liu Bei said, looking sideways at Chen Xi.
"A lot, after all, I am a mortal." Chen Xi said calmly, but the fear in his eyes was gone, "But caring makes you confused. If you calm down, it won't be like this. Sure enough, mortals are mortals and are controlled by emotions.
Already."
"Have you calmed down now?" Liu Bei asked.
"Now I'm curious about what you were thinking before?" Chen Xi sighed. Liu Bei actually saw something that he hadn't seen clearly yet.
"Simple, I trust your judgment more than my own. You told me in detail how to get the Central Plains while ensuring the vitality of the world and the capable people in the Central Plains. But I don't think that you
My judgment was wrong." Liu Bei turned around, stopped and looked at Chen Xi and said.
"You have also explained to me in detail the significance of the throne to me. In fact, it does not mean much. On the contrary, the promise I made to you at the beginning means more. Does it make sense if it is earlier or later?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and said.
.
Chen Xi looked up to the sky. When he seemed to have skipped work and was caught by Liu Bei, he did tell Liu Bei various things. Unexpectedly, skipping work for many years finally saved him.
"The meaning of the throne is that there is no one above. This is what you told me, and now there is no one above. In this case, fighting or not fighting means little, and even not fighting is better than fighting." Liu Bei slowly told Chen Xi.
With your own thinking.
"Has reality given way to ideals?" The corners of Chen Xi's mouth slightly raised, but before he could open his grin, Liu Bei had already slapped Chen Xi on the bun of his hair, "When the emperor dies, he must be sad."
The corner of Chen Xi's mouth twitched, and he felt relieved. He was actually educated by Liu Bei. He had always been the guide, but this time he really fell into trouble.
"Leave the rest to me. In one year, it only takes one year. I will give you a Central Plains that everyone will admire, and I guarantee that next year will be better than this year." Chen Xi solemnly said to Liu Bei.
"Okay, I'll wait." Liu Bei nodded without any extra words.
"Thank you." Chen Xi suddenly said to Liu Bei.
"It's not often that you thank me so sincerely." Liu Bei said as he walked away, making Chen Xi feel slightly embarrassed.
[Emperor, if you want it now, Zichuan, your ideal will collapse. Xun Wenruo, Zhou Gongjin and others are indeed capable ministers in the world. Without them, your ideal will die prematurely. Don't be greedy for power or love.
I'm so obsessed with you, I guess that's the goal." Liu Bei thought silently.
[You helped me from being an assistant in a down-to-earth clan to now where the throne is within my reach. It’s time for me to help you. It doesn’t matter if I get the throne sooner or later.] Liu Bei felt extremely calm in his heart. He looked at Chen Xi who was in a much better mood and took another photo.
After a moment, Chen Xi quickly drew up his face.
[One year later, you will be one step closer to your goal. If it is one year earlier, I am afraid you will only have a broken dream of Chang'an. You will not speak. If Fengxiao and Wenhejin hadn't sent messages to me, I'm afraid you would have cried.
.] Liu Bei thought helplessly as he looked at Chen Xi who stretched out his hands and tried his best to keep a straight face.
It is said that Liu Bei did have thoughts about the throne, but thanks to Chen Xi's education over the years, and Guo Jia and Jia Xu's voice transmissions, Chen Xi's thoughts were clearly stated. Otherwise, Liu Bei might really choose
Important ministers have been summoned.
"Zichuan, don't hide things from now on. If Fengxiao and Wenhejin hadn't sent messages to me before, I'm afraid I would have summoned all the important ministers to discuss matters and elect the emperor. At that time, even if I don't get the job, I will have the job."
Liu Bei decided to have a showdown with Chen Xi, telling Chen Xi not to hide things, and that he had better clarify everything with Chen Xi.
"Uh..." Chen Xi scratched his cheek, "I was just panicked, my mind was confused, and I didn't want to arbitrarily discuss the position of emperor."
"That's not an idle suggestion, it's a sincere and reasonable suggestion." Liu Bei said calmly, "You and I have known each other for so many years. Have you ever made a mistake in your suggestion? As long as you give me the reasons in detail, which time
Didn’t I support you?”
"But this time it involves the throne, I really can't say anything." Chen Xi lamented.
Chen Xi felt helpless. If he had known this, he wouldn't have thought about it. He directly pointed it out to Liu Bei. What you got when you ascended the throne this year is just a broken purple suit. Not only does it need to be repaired for several years before it can be worn, but it may also be aborted.
, next year I will make you a complete set of orange outfits, and then we go to kill people...
"If you have any suggestions in the future, please tell me directly. We have known each other for so many years. If nothing else, I highly recognize your ability. You should also know my capacity." Liu Bei waved his sleeves and said grandly.
"I used to feel a little stingy, but this time I feel really good." Chen Xi nodded and said.
"You actually think that I am stingy." Liu Bei said depressedly, "Among all the monarchs, I am very generous."
"Third from the bottom, right?" Chen Xi joked, Cao Cao and Sun Ce were hit by arrows inexplicably.
"It seems that you have let go. Now I want to know about this matter. Do you have any clues?" Liu Bei asked, changing the topic.
"Xuan De Gong, from what I have learned so far, it seems that the emperor's death is more likely to be an accident than a plan." Chen Xi said helplessly, "because no one has the motive to kill the emperor."
"Really?" Liu Bei sighed and said, "Does Wen Ru have any motives?"
"No!" Chen Xi said categorically, "He has no motive for killing the emperor, and Master Wang is a world-breaking player in his young state. Wenru does not have such chess pieces!"
"Okay, that being the case, I won't ask any more questions." Liu Bei nodded, saying that he would not ask about this matter again, nor would he ask whether Li You was Li Ru again. Li You is Li You!
"The death of Master Wang is the biggest doubt about the death of the Emperor. If you can kill Master Wang, there is no need to set fire." Chen Xi was silent for a while and said the biggest doubt about this matter.
"Actually, Zichuan, you don't need to delve into this matter. I asked Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu to investigate the emperor's death. I think you also know that it is impossible to investigate. Even I know the person who did it.
Too many." Liu Bei sighed and said.
"Yes, the biggest problem now is that there are too many people taking action, and everyone was too confident at the time. They were all controlled by remote control. As a result, now, there is no way to determine what happened when a group of people were involved in each other." Chen Xi
Said the same helplessly.
"Therefore, Cao Sikong and Sun Boxu must not be able to find anything." Chen Xi said helplessly, "Everyone who is qualified to investigate this matter must have a problem, including myself, who cannot be sure whether I have a problem.
"
"Let's just keep this matter quiet for now. It will be good for everyone. Anyway, if we drag it on, we will convince them." Liu Bei said proudly.
"That's it." Chen Xi spread his hands, "It's better to rely on external objects or something, it's better to do it yourself. Anyway, we can solve all the problems ourselves, and now that you have given up the throne, it is enough to show that you..."
Chen Xi was silent as he spoke, Liu Bei didn't care, and still walked towards the outside of the palace. Liu Zhang came by such a coincidence that Liu Bei even doubted whether Liu Zhang did it. After all, apart from him, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang was the most
Suitable for inheritance.
[I may understand what is going on. In this case, Wang Yue died in an accident. It should even be said that he did not want to kill Wang Yue. Killing the emperor is the core?] Chen Xi thought with a solemn expression. If he thinks about it like this, on the contrary,
Many details make sense.
When Chen Xi followed Liu Bei out hand in hand, Liu Zhang's carriage had already marched outside the palace gate. At this time, Zhang Song had sorted out the words of the people of Chang'an and presented them to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang's face turned pale in an instant.
If he had known about this affair, he would not have come to Chang'an even if he killed Liu Zhang. Now he has become a suspect. Liu Zhang is indeed interested in the position of emperor, but that position depends on muscles. Liu Zhang doesn't feel that he is the emperor at all.
More qualified than Liu Bei.
Maybe if Liu Bei ascends the throne today, puts a shit basin on his head, and then directly takes him down, he, the native emperor of Yizhou, will not have to do anything, and he will die directly.
