Chapter 520 (2/2)

”What's the news?” Liu Ye doubts.

”Didn't the general go to meet his majesty with Liu Yuzhou today?” Jia Xu said: ”after seeing his majesty, the general went straight to Xuanwu pool to practice the water army. But Liu Bei, accompanied by Tang Mao, the abbot of the state, went to the palace to discuss.”

”Tang Mao?” Liu Ye frowned and said, ”what did he discuss with Liu Bei? Is it difficult for him to become the abbot of the state? Is he not satisfied with the fact that he wants to connect with Liu Bei inside and outside, and seize power from someone?”

”In the Tang Mao mansion, a certain number of attendants have long been bribed.” Jia Xu said with a cold smile, ”he said that Tang Mao introduced Liu Bei into the mansion on that day, and then withdrew from the imperial palace. The two men conspired to discuss for two quarters of an hour.”

”So, what did they discuss?” Liu Ye asked directly.

”The old thief of Tang Mao had long been dissatisfied with the general's control of the imperial court.” Jia Xu sneered: ”this guy thinks he is the emperor's father-in-law, so he is more and more hungry. He wants the emperor to be in charge. Then he takes the general and takes over the power of the imperial court instead. Now the intention of colluding with Liu Bei is obvious.”

After listening to Jia Xu's description, Liu Ye falls into silence. With the Yellow turban rebellion, Liu Ye, after several bloody battles, rose step by step to the post of general. However, Liu Ye finds himself intoxicated by the feeling of power step by step. He has enjoyed the feeling of power for a long time.

If Liu Bian suddenly says that he wants to be in power, what will Liu Ye do? He imagined that if he did, he would refuse because the emperor was too young to handle the affairs of the state, and he would still be in power.

Seeing Liu Ye fall into silence, Jia Xu directly asks, ”dare to ask the general, if the emperor is 20 years old, and after the crown ceremony is added, where will the general be located?”

”Are the generals willing to hand over all their power?”

Liu Ye slowly raised his head and looked into Jia Xu's eyes: ”Wenhe, what do you mean by this sentence?”

Jia Xu did not directly answer Liu Ye's words, but quoted the classic saying: ”two hundred years ago, Wang Mang disordered politics and called himself Emperor without authorization, which caused chaos in the world. All the sons of the surname Liu were angry, and their support made them even more emperor. Although Emperor Guangwu was a descendant of emperor Gaozu, his family had already declined. He was the emperor who overthrew the emperor of reform and Liu Penzi by virtue of his great talent. ”

”The emperor at the beginning of the revolution killed Liu Jia first, and then Liu Xiu. At this time, Liu Xiugang had just finished the battle of Kunyang and wiped out the main force of 420000 troops in Xinmang, which can be described as a great success.”Jia Xu changed his way: ”the general calmed down Yongliang, walked Dong Zhuo, and set Yanzhou. People in the world believed that the general would surpass his majesty. If his Majesty would become an adult, what would the Empress Dowager and Abbot Tang do to instigate his majesty, what should the general do?”

”If the general is willing to hand over all the power in his hands, what should the generals and advisers think of, and will they willingly assist the general?” Jia Xu said to himself.

”Jia Wenhe!” Liu Ye got up and said, ”what do you want to say?”

”Nothing else!” Jia Xuzhi stares at Liu Ye and says, ”the general is the hero of the world. Don't you want to accomplish the great cause of Emperor Guangwu and sweep away the Six Harmonies?”

”If the general refuses to go further, why should we fight? The court? ” Jia Xu sneered: ”if there was no general, I'm afraid we would have no centripetal force. Now if the general doesn't advance, he will retreat. I'd better ask the general to make his own decision.”

It's too high to be cold.

Liu Ye suddenly understands that maybe Zhao Kuangyin's Huang Pao in Chenqiao post is not just a performance. Although Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to be emperor himself, how could his senior general be willing to be commander-in-chief of the seven-year-old Chai zongxun?

Liu Ye sighed: ”I want to be the Duke of Zhou. Why did Wenhe harm me?”

”How can the Duke of Zhou keep his name like a king?” Jia Xu said bluntly: ”the world is in chaos, but a general can't rule it!”
