As soon as he said this, Yuan Shu became extremely nervous and sweat broke out on his forehead. Although he was confident that his destiny was in his own hands, before this, countless heroes were eyeing him covetously, but no one dared to take this step.

Dong Zhuo was so arrogant and domineering back then. He deposed and enthroned emperors, poisoned the empress dowager, slept in the dragon bed at night, raped and plundered. No matter how fanatical he was in his heart, he still had to serve the emperor in the end.

Although the other princes had their own thoughts, they did not dare to speak out.

After the tension, Yuan Shu gradually calmed down. When the breath of calm appeared in his mind, Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.

From another perspective, the so-called princes of this era have no ability to compare with himself. Putting aside other things, just based on ambition and heroism, who can compare with himself?

Yuan Shao of Jizhou has already occupied three states and has more soldiers, horses, money and food than Yuan Shao of Jizhou. Yet, isn’t he still submissive and serving the Han Dynasty?

A son born to a concubine is like this after all. No matter what experiences he goes through, it is difficult to change his cowardly instinct.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a sentence, a sentence that he usually sneered at, but now he felt that there was some truth in it.

Princes and generals, I would rather be kind!

Shui Jing looked down at the fishing hook. His wrinkled face seemed calm, but deep down in his heart, he was already surging with raging waves just like the river in front of him.

Yuan Shu asked the emperor whether his anger was directed at him. It turned out that he really had a rebellious heart!

Before he came to Jiujiang, he was a little skeptical about Liu Huangshu's prediction. After all, the Han Dynasty had been in existence for 400 years. Although it was no longer as prosperous as it was in the past, the 400 years of heritage and countless generations of accumulation had already deeply rooted the concept of the Han Dynasty in people's hearts. He had never thought that someone would suddenly appear from a noble family and raise the banner of anti-Han.

I pride myself on my ability to judge people, but now I realize that I am still inferior to Uncle Liu.

I can recognize the world's talented people, but I cannot recognize the world's great evils. I am ashamed, ashamed!

Shui Jing looked away from the river and looked up at the clouds in the sky. After a long time, he calmed down and slowly replied, "The emperor's aura is too mysterious. Although I have studied hard for a lifetime, I can still understand all the secrets of the sky. However, since the general, the clouds have indeed become stronger."

This statement was very mysterious, neither confirming nor denying it.

This left Yuan Shu with more room for imagination, or more power to make his own choices.

Perhaps Mr. Shuijing found it difficult to accept for a while that the Yuan family would usurp the Han Dynasty and establish their own kingdom.

Just when Mr. Shuijing still had a glimmer of hope, Yuan Shu's next words made him completely realize Yuan Shu's true thoughts.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, sir. Recently, there has been a prophecy circulating in Jiujiang City that the one who will replace the Han Dynasty is Dangtu Gao.

Although Dangtu Gaoye's words were directed at me, Yuan Gonglu, I am actually a little worried that there might be some misunderstanding?

It was not until I met you and heard about the Emperor's Qi that I realized that the Heaven had placed the responsibility of changing the world on my shoulders."

Shui Jing was speechless. Yuan Shu's top-level comprehension ability shocked him.

Regardless of whether this prophecy is true or false, it is obviously far-fetched to say that Dangtu Gao refers to the highway.

From this point, Shui Jing could confirm that Yuan Shu's idea of ​​usurping the Han Dynasty and establishing himself as the emperor had already taken root in his heart a long time ago, and it would only take an opportunity for it to break out.

It was Emperor Liu who keenly discovered this opportunity and provided it.

Mr. Shuijing slowly turned his head and glanced at Yuan Shu. Seeing the joy in Yuan Shu's eyes, he understood that Yuan Shu had made up his mind. He did not delay any longer, slowly put away his fishing rod, and prepared to return to Yuzhou to report to Liu Yu.

Seeing Shui Jing was about to leave, Yuan Shu hurried forward and began to salute.

"The Han Dynasty is corrupt and hopeless. I am determined to change all of this, overthrow the Han Dynasty, and establish a new dynasty. Your talent is beyond the comprehension of ghosts and gods. If I can receive your teachings, I will be very lucky."

Yuan Shu knew how unbearable Shui Jing was, so naturally he didn't want to let him leave easily. If he could recruit Shui Jing under his command at this time, his explanation of his heaven-given righteousness would be more authoritative.

This is not difficult to understand. Mr. Shui Jing is the pinnacle in the study of Qimen celestial phenomena. With his personal certification, others can naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"I appreciate your kindness, General. I am used to being a free and unrestrained person and cannot stand being restricted. So I'm leaving now."

After saying this, he floated away without waiting for Yuan Shu to speak again.

Mr. Shuijing's ethereal demeanor caught Yuan Shu's eyes, and his eyes were full of admiration.

"He comes and goes as he pleases, carefree and uninhibited, a true hermit."

Yuan Shu brought his people back to his mansion, and within a few days, he began to gather everyone to discuss the matter of proclaiming himself emperor.

Seeing the civil and military officials standing on both sides, Yuan Shu's eyes were full of heroism.

"In the past, Emperor Gao was only a village headman in Sishui, but he eventually gained control of the world. Now, the Han Dynasty has gone through four hundred years, and its momentum has run out. My Yuan family has had three dukes for four generations, and the people have come to me. I want to obey the will of heaven and take the throne. What do you think?"

This question was so sudden that no one could react. After a while, everyone looked at Yuan Shu's determined eyes and realized that Yuan Shu really wanted to become emperor.

There was a flash of shock in Yan Xiang's eyes. He obviously did not expect that Yuan Shu would suddenly come up with such an idea. The Han Dynasty had been around for four hundred years and had already been deeply rooted. How could it be changed in such a short period of time?

There is no doubt that the people are loyal to the Han Dynasty, and despite the wars they have gone through, their will remains unchanged.

"My lord, this is absolutely not allowed. When Zhou replaced Shang, it had two of the world's lands and served Shang with great care. Now my lord only occupies one state. If you rashly declare yourself emperor, you will surely be attacked by all the princes. How will my lord deal with it then?"

"Sir, please don't exaggerate. In this world, who can surpass me in terms of powerful troops and abundant food and grass?"

Yuan Shu was not bragging when he said this. He occupied Nanyang County, part of Xuzhou, and Jiujiang. The people in these places were wealthy. The food and grass that Yuan Shu had collected were enough to support him for two years.

When he withdrew from Yuzhou, he took a lot of troops with him. Now Sun Ce was making great progress in Jiujiang, and his territory and military strength were constantly expanding. Based on these alone, Yuan Shu was not afraid of any princes in the world.

"My lord, in my opinion, there are two groups of people in the world today who are not inferior to you at all." Yan Xiang did not spare any face and directly refuted, "Yuan Shao occupies three states, and his army is at full strength, heading straight for Youzhou. Ji, Qing and the three states have strong people and rich resources. Emperor Guangwu relied on these places to finally rule the world and establish the Han Dynasty.

"Liu Huangshu occupies Sili and Yuzhou, and commands the world under the emperor. He has many brave generals and soldiers, and Liu Huangshu is extremely intelligent. If the lord rashly declares himself emperor, he will certainly send troops to attack."
