Liu Yan took Liu Xiu back to his mansion. Not long after, Liu Jia, Liu Ji, and Liu Xin also came. After that, the Liu clan's relatives arrived one after another, including Liu Liang, who did not appear often. Inside.
Everyone gathered together and sighed. I thought that if the Liu family was chosen as the emperor, all the Liu family members would follow suit, but they didn't expect that it would turn out to be like this.
It is obviously the court of the Han family, but it has completely become a world dominated by people with foreign surnames. How can there be a place for the Liu family?
Everyone shook their heads and sighed. Even Liu Ci, who was named Guang Luxun, felt that what Liu Xuan did was too unreasonable and chilled the hearts of his clan members.
Liu Jiteng suddenly stood up and said: "Brother, if it doesn't work, you can lead us to separate and work alone! I don't believe it. Without his Green Forest Army, our Zhutian Army will not be able to develop!"
Liu Jia waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Ah Ji, now we and the Green Forest Army are in the same boat. If we work together, we will prosper together, and if we divide ourselves, we will die together!"
Liu Ji said angrily: "My head is off and my bowl is big and scarred. What are you afraid of? Even if I die, I don't want to suffer from this cowardice again!"
While they were talking, a servant quickly came to the door, bowed and saluted, and said: "General, there is someone outside the door asking to see you!"
Liu Yan asked: "Who is it?"
"He...he claims to be here again."
"Come again?" Liu Yan looked surprised. Liu Ci's eyes widened and he said anxiously: "Come again..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yan waved to him and said to the servant expressionlessly: "Invite him in!"
"Yes! General!" the servant agreed, turned and left.
After a while, a servant brought in a man wearing a cloak from outside. The cap of the cloak was very big, covering most of his head, and it was not clear what he looked like.
Liu Yan glanced at the mysterious man who came in, stepped back, and then looked down. The two clan members sitting near the door understood, both stood up, first poked their heads out, and then Close the lobby door.
At this time, only people from the Liu clan were left in the lobby. The mysterious man who came in took off his hat and revealed his true face. Everyone present took a closer look and saw that it was not Liu Xuan or who it was.
Others may not know that Liu Xuan's childhood nickname was Youlai, but most people in the Liu clan knew it, so everyone present was shocked when the servant announced Youlai's name.
"Axuan, you...why are you here?" Liu Ci stood up subconsciously and looked at Liu Xuan in surprise.
Before Liu Xuan could speak, his eye circles were red. He bent his legs and fell to his knees with a pop.
Everyone present was stunned at first, and then they all stood up. Liu Yan, Liu Xiu, Liu Ji and others were also startled by Liu Xuan's sudden kneeling and stood up one after another.
Liu Yan said anxiously: "Axuan? Axuan, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"
In any case, Liu Xuan is now the emperor. As the emperor, he can kneel to heaven, to the ground, and to his grandparents. Apart from that, there is no one else for the emperor to kneel to.
Liu Xuan knelt on the ground. Instead of getting up, he cried bitterly. He choked and said: "Uncles, please save me, brothers, please save me..."
Liu Ci and Liu Xin were both startled, and then they walked up to Liu Xuan, holding the hilt of the sword in their hands, gritting their teeth and said: "Axuan, but the Green Forest people are going to kill you?"
Liu Xiu glanced at Liu Ci and Liu Xin, and shook his head secretly. They were both mindless. The Green Forest Department had spent so much effort to finally raise Liu Xuan to the throne, so how could they kill Liu Xuan? ?
Liu Xuan slowly raised his head, looked at Liu Ci, Liu Xin, and then at the clan members around him. Finally, his eyes fell on Liu Yan, and he choked with tears and said: "I...I don't want to do this. Emperor! But if I don't do it, the people in Green Forest will kill me. If I don't listen to them, they will kill me again. If I make them unhappy, they will still kill me..." At this point, Liu Xuan covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly again.
His crying at this time was not fake, but he was really scared.
When the Green Forest people talked in front of him, how could they be as easy to talk and negotiate with as the Liu clan members, so kind and cheerful, always ready to reprimand, or else they would curse loudly.
Every time Liu Xuan spoke in front of people from the Green Forest Department, he would be frightened and trembling all over, fearing that if the other party was unhappy, he would draw his sword and kill him.
Liu Ci, Liu Xin clenched his fists, and his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip. Liu Yan walked up to Liu Xuan, held his arm, and said: "Axuan, get up and talk!"
Liu Xuan raised his head, looked at Liu Yan in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "I...I don't want to compete with my eldest brother for the throne. I really don't want to be the emperor!"
As he spoke, he looked at the people on the left and right, and said with tears: "It's not that I don't want to confer titles for my clan uncles and clan brothers, but it's just that I can't do it. The people in Green Forest don't agree. I...I And what if..."
At the end, Liu Xuan burst into tears again and said intermittently: "If Wang Kuang, Chen Mu, and Zhu Tuna weren't all drunk tonight, I... I wouldn't dare to sneak out... What kind of emperor would I be?" ...I feel aggrieved...I'm afraid...wuwu..."
Looking at Liu Xuan who was holding Liu Yan and crying while talking, the eyes of the Liu family members present also had red eyes, and they all came forward and patted Liu Xuan's shoulders to express comfort.
Liu Xiu also stepped forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as our Liu family members are here, the Green Forest people will not dare to do anything to Your Majesty!"
Hearing his words, Liu Xuan grinned and cried even louder. He stretched out an arm tremblingly and hugged Liu Xiu.
Liu Xuan's current appearance is simply that of a coward. How can he still look like an emperor? But in Liu Xiu's heart, he only has one feeling: awesome!
He ascended the throne and became the emperor. He gave great rewards to the people of the Green Forest clan, and severely suppressed the people of the Liu clan. Of course, the Liu family knew it well. This should not be Liu Xuan's original intention, but It doesn't mean that everyone doesn't blame him in their hearts.
But this time Liu Xuan came secretly and burst into tears. No matter how much complaints or dissatisfaction everyone had in their hearts, he cried them all away, leaving only regret and pity. Could it be that Liu Xuan's move was still Not powerful enough?
To put it lightly, Liu Xuan's move was to win over people's hearts. To put it more deeply, if there were no Liu clan and only the Green Forest lineage was left, he would not be able to live long as an emperor. Only the Liu clan existed to contain him. With the help of Green Forest, Liu Xuan was able to find a way out in the cracks.
Seeing Liu Xuan crying bitterly, Liu Xiu's fear deepened even more.
Liu Xuan cried for a long time. He raised his sleeves, wiped his tears, and said solemnly to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, Xuan You will keep your achievements in mind. As long as...as long as the situation stabilizes, Now that I have a certain foundation, I will definitely crown everyone as princes!"
This was another clever trick to win over people's hearts. Liu Xuan's promise at this time was a reassurance to all the Liu clan members.
Immediately afterwards, he said to Liu Yan: "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will also take my place as eldest brother! How can I, Liu Xuan, be able to achieve this throne? In my mind, eldest brother is the most suitable candidate!" "
When Liu Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed, he patted Liu Xuan's arm and said, "If A Xuan has such a heart, I will be very satisfied."
If I really want this throne, whether you give it to me or not, the result will be the same. This is what Liu Yan is saying.
Liu Xuan talked with everyone for a long time. He felt that the time was almost up. He shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "I...I have to go back! If the people in Green Forest find out that I am missing, they... They will beat and scold me again..." At this point, Liu Xuan's eye circles turned red again, and he looked pitifully around the people present, looking at his reluctant look, as if he wanted to say goodbye to everyone.
Many Liu clan members felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, but had no choice but to shake their heads and sigh, silently wiping the corners of their eyes.
Liu Xuan looked at Liu Yan with red eyes, and said with a tearful tone: "Big brother's military power must be firmly grasped. The lives of Xuan and other clan members now depend on big brother..."
Liu Yan's heart was shocked, and he bowed his hands to Liu Xuan with a serious face, bowed deeply, and said seriously: "It is Bo Sheng's duty to protect the blood of the Liu family, and he will not hesitate to do anything he wants!"
"Brother..." Liu Xuan whispered with tears in his eyes, and then, with tears in his eyes, he turned around and walked out.
Liu Xuan didn't dare to go through the front door, so everyone sent him out through the back door. Back in the lobby, many of the Liu family members were so angry that they gritted their teeth and said, "The Green Forest family is bullying my Liu family too much! "
At this time, no one resented Liu Xuan's injustice anymore. Everyone's resentment was vented on the head of the Green Forest Department.
On the way back to the palace, Liu Xuan quickly wiped the tears on his face and eyes, raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and showed a smile on his face.
As an emperor, he not only needs the strong support of the Green Forest family, but also needs the Liu clan to be on his side.
Only with the presence of these two factions can his throne be secure. It can be said that both are indispensable. Liu Xuan saw this very clearly.
Liu Xuan is not a man of great wisdom, but otherwise, he is definitely a man of small cleverness.
Living a life of being on the run for many years has made him extremely adaptable, and he is very good at observing people's actions and knowing what to do at what time, so that he can be in a relatively safe position.
Sure enough, Liu Xuan secretly ran to Liu Yan's house and cried loudly in front of the Liu clan, which won him the sympathy of most of the clan members, and this compassion could easily turn into goodwill. .
Of course, there are exceptions, one is Liu Xiu and the other is Liu Ji.
Liu Xiu was good at discerning human nature, and he could basically guess Liu Xuan's thoughts.
Liu Ji, on the other hand, is a simple and straight-tempered person. If he identifies Liu Yan, he will definitely go all the way to the dark side. No matter how miserable Liu Xuan cries, how innocent or innocent you act, in short, Liu Yan can't do anything. When he went to the emperor, he was filled with displeasure and felt awkward no matter how he looked at Liu Xuan.
After Liu Xuan left, the Liu family members sighed for a while and dispersed. Finally, only two brothers Liu Yan and Liu Xiu were left. Liu Yan said: "Axiu, in my opinion, Axuan not bad!"
