Chapter 290 (1/2)
The consequences of Liu Xie's sudden death finally appeared. Four emperors appeared all at once, leaving the people at a loss what to do and who to recognize.
However, for higher-level scholars and aristocratic families, the big man is still the big man, and the extra princes are just puppets. Which one to follow depends on which vassal is stronger and has more opportunities to seize the world.
In fact, it is mainly between Yecheng and Jingzhou.
The Xiliang army killed the emperor and re established his young son, but the important officials of the imperial court almost died. Who knows if it is true? Is there this person? Is it Liu Xie's own son?
After all, Liu Xie was only 15 when he died.
As for Yuan Shu, he was directly ignored by those people.
The great man is not at the end of his tether. There are so many clans in charge of local power. Do you dare to be the emperor? Is it not fast enough to die idle?
……
Yanzhou, Changyi.
Cao Cao looked at the successive messages of the new emperor and smiled bitterly.
Naturally, he could see the advantages of holding the son of heaven, but he also wanted to learn and establish a son of heaven, but unfortunately, his strength was low, and he didn't dare to do so at all.
And if you miss this, you won't have a chance again. If you don't support the new emperor in the chaos army now, you can't wait a few years. At that time, the three new emperors have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. How can people be convinced?
Cao Cao was very happy that he came to Yanzhou from the East County and owned a county. In order to keep Yanzhou, he took the lead in fighting on the front line, which defeated millions of yellow scarves and formed the Qingzhou army.
But he didn't expect that the Yanzhou aristocratic family was so powerful that even if he saved Yanzhou, he was not paid attention to by the aristocratic family because of his birth. Therefore, in order to consolidate his rule, Cao Cao killed a group of people, including the famous scholar Bian rang.
But unexpectedly, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest. Even Chen Gong, his most valued counselor, and his good friend Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao were estranged. Taking advantage of Cao Cao's eastward expedition to Xuzhou, he united to welcome Lv Bu into Yanzhou, almost overturning his foundation.
He fought hard for two years and survived several times. During this period, he almost fell down and took refuge in Yuan Shao. Fortunately, with the support of Yuan Shao, he survived and drove Lv Bu out of Yanzhou. Not long ago, he broke through yongqiu and killed Zhang Miao's brother Yi three families to vent his hatred.
But at this time, Zang Hong appointed by Yuan Shao was the prefect of Dongjun, and Cao Cao could not command at all. After the war, it was the most difficult time for Cao Cao. If he wanted to restore his strength, he had to wait at least half a year.
Lack of strength, even if Cao Cao wants to support the emperor, he must worry about being killed. Because once the emperor was established, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao officially became enemies and never die.
Cao Cao, however, did not have the ability to face a double attack, and even one of them might not be able to win.
Therefore, Cao Cao can only reluctantly give up this excellent opportunity.
……
Jingzhou people don't worry about the coexistence of several heavenly sons. They just need to respect the heavenly son of Xiangyang.
Liu Guang, the new emperor supported by Liu Biao, is said to be the descendant of Liu Ying, the son of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu. Liu Ying, the king of Chu, was expelled from the state and demoted to the rank of marquis because of his involvement in the conspiracy case. After so many years, he has long declined.
Liu Guang, chosen by Liu Biao, is less than three years old this year. He has lost his father. He has only a mother from a peasant family, and there is no family. He is very easy to control.
The emperor was too young to be in charge of politics. Liu Biao was ”forced” to act as regent on the recommendation of the ministers, leading the Taiwei, recording books, and riding general.
