Han Dao world

The meaning of the Son of Heaven is very clear.He doesn't need to kill Liu Biao, but Liu Biao doesn't want to separate Jingzhou and bargain with the court.Coming to Luoyang to be with Yuan Shao is his only way out.

"Your Majesty, Kuai Yue is available." Pang Tong said.

Liu Xie thought about it. "Do you think he is qualified to be the prefect of Wei County?"

Chapter 814

"The prefect of Wei County?"

Before Pang Tong finished speaking, Kuai Yue exclaimed.

This result far exceeded his expectations.

Pang Tong nodded solemnly.

He was also surprised when he heard the emperor say that.Out of the friendship of fellow countrymen, he mustered up the courage to speak out, but he didn't hold out much hope.

Although Kuai Yue was not Liu Biao, he was Liu Biao's confidant. If he really wanted to be investigated, he would at least be an accomplice.Now that Liu Biao refuses to submit, there may be Kuai Yue's influence in it.

But he soon understood the emperor's intentions.

Since Kuai Yue led his troops to participate in the review, it shows that he intends to serve the imperial court.For this kind of person, the emperor is willing to give him a chance.

Of course, this prefect of Wei County is not something that Kuai can do as he wants, he has to show enough sincerity.

First of all, he wanted to cooperate with the imperial court and wanted Liu Biao to come to Luoyang to accompany Yuan Shao.

Secondly, he will participate in the siege of Yecheng as the prefect of Wei County and make military exploits.

As Yuan Shao's former partner, participating in the attack on Yuan Shao's old army, this influence is worth a Wei County prefect.

Finally, Kuai Yue was originally the prefect of Zhangling.As long as he accepts this challenge, Zhang Ling can withdraw and return to Nanyang.

Xiangyang's flanks would lose their protection, and Jiang Xia would be exposed to Nanyang's troops.

It is not unwise to kill three birds with one stone.

What's even more rare is that it was very difficult for Kuai Yue to refuse this temptation.Even though he knew it was difficult, he would not give up.

Because he has no other choice.To reject this opportunity is to reject the goodwill of the emperor.If you are shameless, you can't blame the emperor.

Seeing Kuai Yue's expression, Pang Tong knew he was safe.

Kuai Yue is eager to make contributions, and he will not let go of this opportunity.

Seeing Pang Tong's slight smile, Kuai Yue also felt a little embarrassed, losing his composure in front of the juniors.

"I've heard for a long time that the Son of Heaven is a young hero. Although I haven't seen him in person, I can imagine his demeanor after seeing the progress of Kong Ming and Shi Yuan." Kuai Yue said gratifiedly, holding his beard under his chin. "How lucky you are to meet Lord Ming."

"Mr. Kuai is worthy of being a great talent in Jingchu. He knows the world from one corner." Zhuge Liang said: "So, Shi Yuan and I can return to the emperor?"

Kuai Yue smacked his lips. "It's my wish to be able to serve the court. It's just that Liu Shijun is ill, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come to Luoyang for the time being."

Zhuge Liang bowed slightly. "Forgive me, it's better for him to come to Luoyang."

Kuai Yue glanced at Zhuge Liang. "Oh?"

Zhuge Liang smiled. "The famous doctors in the world are all in the imperial hospital. If you want to recuperate, naturally it is best to come to Luoyang. Moreover, the emperor is the most sympathetic to ministers. When he heard that Yuan Benchu ​​was ill, he immediately issued an edict to relieve him of his duties so that he could recuperate with peace of mind. Liu Shijun is not only a minister, but also a doctor. The clan, the emperor naturally treats him more generously."

Kuai Yue thought of Yuan Shao's appearance, and his heart skipped a beat.

Zhuge Liang spoke well, but the threat was very obvious.

Liu Biao had to come when he came, and he had to come if he didn’t.Otherwise, the emperor issued an edict to dismiss him to recuperate his illness, and then he would forcibly take over Jingzhou south of Xiangyang.

At this point, does he support the imperial court or Liu Biao?

The answer speaks for itself.

"I'll do my best." Kuai Yue felt helpless.

"As soon as possible, don't neglect Liu Shijun's sick body."

At that moment, Kuai wanted to curse more.

Zhuge Liang was originally a restrained person, how could he be so aggressive after being with the emperor for several years?

-

After receiving the rewards from Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Liu Xie was determined.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue bowed their heads one after another, and the people of Jingzhou knew that Liu Biao had no bargaining capital.

Even so, he ordered Hussar General Zhang Ji to send someone to pick up Liu Biao, take over Xiangyang City by the way, and supervise the Jingzhou military, preparing to fight against Yizhou.

If Liu Biao refuses to follow the edict to set off, he will attack Xiangyang by force, and Liu Biao will be responsible for all the consequences.

Two days after the edict was issued, Liu Xie received Kuai Yue.

The atmosphere between the two of them was very harmonious, chatting and laughing happily, and there was no rift between them.Liu Xie asked Kuai Yue for advice on the local conditions and customs of Jingzhou, which fully demonstrated the demeanor of a wise and virtuous corporal.Kuai Yue didn't hesitate to praise Liu Xie's achievements in recent years.

Both of them tacitly avoided a topic: Kuai Yue used to be the staff of the great general He Jin, and He Jin supported his nephew, the young emperor Liu Bian, and obstructed Emperor Xiaoling's plan to establish a young child was the plan of Kuai Yue and others.

After the audience, Kuai Yue left the account, and Pang Tong, who was ordered to send him off, told him that the emperor had issued an edict ordering Liu Biao to enter the court.

After hearing this, Kuai Yue was taken aback, and then realized that the emperor was not interested in talking nonsense with him.He must make a choice now and act on it.

He thought for a while, and then said that he would write a letter back immediately, asking his elder brother Kuai Liang and others to persuade Liu Biao to enter the court under the imperial edict, and not to disappoint the emperor's wishes.

There was a sentence that he was embarrassed to say directly.

Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.

-

Xiangyang.

Liu Biao sat in the hall, his face was flushed, he was panting like a cow, his former elegance was gone.

Don't drive Liu Xian, Zhizhong Deng Xi, engaged in Zhonglang Han Song, Kuai Liang and others sat in the hall, all of them looked serious.Even Mr. Pang De, who had been invited many times but failed, appeared, sitting at the head with a dignified expression.

"Let me think about it again." Furious, Liu Biao stood up and prepared to go back to the back hall.

He didn't want to see these people again, otherwise he might get sick from anger.

"How long does your envoy want to think?" Kuai Liang got up, took a stride, and stopped in front of Liu Biao. "Emissary, General Hussar's army is already on the way, and the vanguard will arrive soon. If he is misunderstood to make you resist the edict and fight together, all the hard work you have put in these years will be in vain."

"Zi Rou, are you coming to force me too?" Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang incredulously.

There are many bullies in Jingchu, and Kuai Liang is the most gentle person. Liu Biao never thought that Kuai Liang would persecute him like this.

But after thinking about it, he understood.

As soon as the imperial edict arrived in Xiangyang, these people came together, and it was clear that someone connected with them.And this person is none other than Kuai Liang.

Needless to say, Kuai Yue betrayed him, chose the imperial court, and then notified Kuai Liang.

If not, the Son of Heaven would not be so confident to issue an edict to let him enter the court.

Kuai Liang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is now so unavoidable. Why should you hesitate? Your Majesty is different from Yuan Shao. He has always had an imperial court in his heart and made contributions from time to time. Today, the son repays his favor. Hearing that your Majesty is ill, he invites you to join us." It is also a good intention to recuperate in the imperial court. It is not a serious and terminal illness for the envoy, and he will be diagnosed and treated by a good doctor in the imperial hospital. I think he will recover soon, and then he will either return to Jingzhou or stay in the imperial court. Wouldn't it be great for the emperor to reuse him?"

Liu Biao's eyes narrowed slightly. "Zirou, do you want me to be seriously ill?"

"How dare, how dare." Kuai Liang said repeatedly.

Before the words were finished, Lord Pang De raised his voice and said: "Although Shijun is not seriously ill, after all, time is not forgiving. He is almost sixty years old, so he is inevitably confused."

Liu Biao turned his head to look at Mr. Pang De, and said with a sneer, "If I remember correctly, you seem to be a few years older than me."

Mr. Pound nodded, stood up, and shook his sleeves. "Your Majesty's words are true. I'm really crazy about how old I am. But I'm from the mountains, and I don't care about government affairs, so I can keep my nature. I am worried about the country and the people, and I work too hard. Naturally, I have to work harder."

Duke Pang De turned around and bowed deeply to Liu Biao. "Jingzhou has been protected by the envoy for ten years, and I am grateful. The poem says that there is no beginning, but there is an end. I hope that you can understand the current affairs, follow the situation, start well and end well."

Everyone stood up at the same time and saluted Liu Biao. "Please make your good beginning and end good."

Chapter 815

Liu Biao was stunned, and then he shook his arm vigorously, pushed Kuai Liang away, turned around and left.

In anger, Liu Biao was extremely powerful, Kuai Liang was unprepared, he staggered two steps, his footing was unstable, and he sat down on the ground.

Kuai Liang was also annoyed, pounding the ground and shouting. "Your Majesty, God's will cannot be violated, and the will of the people cannot be violated. Do you have to make heaven angry and people complain?"

Standing in the back hall, Liu Biao heard it clearly through a door, and laughed angrily.

The sky is angry and the people complain, do you really think that you have one heart with the emperor?You will know what God's wrath is when he is on top of you.

Mrs. Chen came out to welcome Liu Biao. She was surprised to see Liu Biao's face was full of anger and his sleeve was torn.Just about to ask a question, he was even more puzzled when he heard Zhongting Kuailiang's call.

"Husband, this is..."

Liu Biao flicked his sleeves in frustration. "Don't mention it, pack your bags and prepare to enter the court."

Chen was even more puzzled.Liu Biao went into the inner study, sat down in front of the case, glanced at the mansion papers piled up on the case, became even more angry, pushed all the mansion papers down, and fell to the ground.

"Xu Jing should be killed! Lai Min should be killed! Meng Guang should be killed!"

Chen Shi came to his senses a little bit. "All the lords in front of the hall...are you willing to spend the land to win the court's favor?"

Liu Biao sighed, managed to calm down, and explained the situation.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen understood, stroked Liu Biao's back, and persuaded softly: "My husband, the people of Jingchu have not changed their barbaric nature. They are eager for success and profit, and they are known to be difficult to rule. My husband has ruled Jingzhou for ten years, and there is no one." When you were lying down, you fell sick from overwork, and the emperor called you back to court to recover from your illness, do you know that this is not a blessing?"

Liu Biao let out a long breath. "Ma'am, you are not familiar with political affairs. The current emperor is no longer the emperor you know. Do you really think he is kind when he keeps Yuan Shao? The scholar-bureaucrats and party members can’t hold their heads up for a day.”

Chen smiled wryly. "Yeah, he doesn't kill people, but kills people."

"Tell me, why didn't he die?" Liu Biao said with gritted teeth, clenched his fists, and beat the pen and inkstone on the table non-stop. "I thought Han Fu was weak at the beginning, but now it seems that he is not even as good as Han Fu."

Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized that Liu Biao was not talking about the emperor, but Yuan Shao.

She shook her head, and couldn't figure out why Yuan Shao didn't die.

At this point, does he still hope to spend his old age peacefully?

A man should never be humiliated again, hasn't he been humiliated enough?

Thinking of this, Chen looked at Liu Biao uneasily.

-

Although Liu Biao was stubborn and refused to give in, he knew in his heart that after the Jingxiang people had fallen to the court, he had lost the ability to control the situation in Jingzhou.

Even if he transferred his sons Liu Pan and Liu Hu back from Jiangnan, it would not solve the problem.

The tens of thousands of troops led by Zhang Ji are approaching. The generals of Nanyang who failed to do a good job last time will be happy to attack Xiangyang, and the Xiangyang people in the city will actively cooperate with Zhang Ji and offer the city to surrender.

At that point, he couldn't even save his life, and he might even implicate his son Liu Qi who had already entered the court.

After thinking about it, Liu Biao was really sick and bedridden.

Kuai Liang and the others were right in their arms, and immediately sent Liu Biao out of the city, and staged a tearful farewell scene.

When Zhang Ji received the news, he sent military advisor Ding Chong with a thousand guards to receive Liu Biao and Xiangyang.

-

To the north of the Han River, Fancheng.

Ding Chong reined in his mount, raised the curtain with his whip, and glanced at Liu Biao who was lying in the car.

Liu's face was flushed, his eyes were closed, his nose was flaring, and his chest was heaving.

Chen Shi sat aside, wiping away tears, but looked a little embarrassed.

Ding Chong gave a chuckle, and bowed his hands to salute Mrs. Chen. "Madam, don't worry, the Son of Heaven has countless famous doctors around him, who will definitely be able to take the right medicine and bring the dead back to life."

Mrs. Chen bowed her hands in embarrassment in thanks.

Ding Chong glanced at Liu Biao again. "The emperor has ruled Jingzhou for ten years. Although there are minor flaws, he has not lost his integrity. The son of heaven lost his parents and brothers when he was young, and he attaches great importance to family affection. He also treats the clan with special respect. Although the emperor is close to sixty years old and can't do anything, the son is rich in spring and autumn. Useful. For the sake of your descendants, the emperor should rest in peace."

Mrs. Chen could hear clearly, she hit Liu Biao's heart and gently poked Liu Biao.

Ding Chong spoke so clearly, if Liu Biao didn't say anything, it would be unreasonable.

Liu Biao slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Ding Chong, and said weakly, "Thank you, Youyang."

"Don't dare." Ding Chong arched his hands, put down the curtain, and waved his hands.

A knight stepped forward and took over the carriage.

Ding Chong kicked his horse forward, came to Kuai Liang and the others, and bowed to salute. "Thank you, gentlemen. Jingzhou will hear the imperial edict again from now on. The military affairs are urgent, so we won't be polite, let's advance into the city."

Although Kuai Liang and others were dissatisfied with Ding Chong's rudeness, they also knew that Ding Chong was Zhang Ji's think tank and a trusted minister of the court.To anger Ding Chong is to anger Zhang Ji, which is to anger the court.
