Chapter 622(1/2)
Officials come out to welcome you
Chapter 655
"who?!"
Hearing Liu Cheng say that someone would proclaim himself emperor, Cai Yong couldn't help but be stunned and quickly asked.
While asking again, I was also thinking quickly in my mind, who has the courage to proclaim himself emperor.
Liu Biao, Yuan Shao and others all thought about it in his heart and thought it was not the case.
Liu Chengdao: "Yuan Shu!"
"Yuan Shu?"
Cai Yong was stunned.
Immediately, he nodded slightly while thinking.
"If it's Yuan Shu, then it's really possible.
Although Yuan Shu was born into the Yuan family in Runan, he was also the direct son of the Yuan family.
However, this person has a perverse personality and his actions are often unexpected.
If he really takes the step of proclaiming himself emperor, it is not impossible."
He said this and looked at Liu Chengdao: "Is there any more precise news?"
Liu Chengdao: "I have received news a long time ago that Yuan Shu has been planning to proclaim himself emperor, but he was just worried that the throne would be unfair, so he did not abdicate on the spot as emperor, nor did he pass on the imperial seal, so he never actually carried out it.
But now, I'm afraid this matter will be soon..."
"Yuan Shu got the Jade Seal of the Kingdom? Didn't it say that the Jade Seal of the Kingdom was in the hands of Sun Jian and Sun Wentai?
Will Sun Jian give him the jade seal?
In the past, when Sun Jian was working under him, he never gave the jade seal to Yuan Shu.
Now Sun Jian has gone to Jiangdong with his troops and horses to conquer Jiangdong. He is away from Yuan Shu and is far away from Yuan Shu. He shouldn't give the jade seal to Yuan Shu, right?"
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "It is precisely because Sun Jian is far away from Yuan Shu that the possibility of giving the jade seal to Yuan Shu will be greater. Nine times out of ten, he will give the jade seal to Yuan Shu.
What Sun Jian is doing now is to occupy Jiangdong.
There is Liu Biao in the back and Tao Qian in the north.
There was also Yuan Shu who was severely beaten by him.
If the jade seal is given to Yuan Shu at this time, a lot of trouble will be avoided at once.
Can repair the relationship with Yuan Shu.
Pull an ally from afar.
After Yuan Shu gets the jade seal and proclaims himself emperor, it will attract more attention to Sun Jian.
This made Sun Jian's attack on Jiangdong even more inconspicuous.
Sun Jian can run Jiangdong without any distractions.
From the sudden departure of Sun Jian to manage Jiangdong, it can be seen that Sun Jian and Sun Wentai had already realized their ideas at this time.
Changed the previous strategy.
There are also many capable people in Jiangdong. I believe someone will see through this and guide Sun Jian to do this.
If you can get so many things after handing over a dead jade seal, I think Sun Jian will definitely do this..."
When Liu Cheng said this, Sun Jian, under Zhou Yu's persuasion, had just decided to agree to Yuan Shu's request and give the jade seal to Yuan Shu.
Liu Cheng still didn't know that these things had happened.
However, relying on his understanding of history, and based on the current situation and the characters' personalities, some things can be analyzed.
This is not too difficult for Liu Cheng.
Hearing what Liu Cheng said, Cai Yong nodded.
Then he sighed and said: "If Yuan Shu really does such a treacherous and unethical thing, he will definitely be blamed by thousands of people!
The Yuan family of Runan, the fourth generation and the third Duke, something like this actually appeared!"
He said with some indignation.
Then he added: "If this is true, then Kede, when you become the King of Han, the burden you will bear will be much smaller.
This Yuan Shu can be regarded as invisible and has helped you a lot, Kede."
When Liu Cheng heard his father-in-law say this, he remembered that when he led troops to pacify Yizhou, he used some means to take away a lot of food and grass from Yuan Shu, and he couldn't help but grin.
If you think about it this way, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongli are really a good person.
At least for himself, he is a good person.
When Cai Yong heard that his son-in-law praised Yuan Shu as a good man, he also thought about how his son-in-law had used some means to get away a large amount of food and grass from Yuan Shu for nothing. He also thought about how Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor would attract his son-in-law.
Something that attracted a lot of attention made me laugh involuntarily.
"If you think about it this way, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongli are really a very good person!"
Cai Yong also sent a good guy card to Yuan Shu.
After talking about some more things, Cai Yong, as an envoy, began to follow Liu Cheng towards Chang'an.
After the previous conversation with his son-in-law, Cai Yong seemed much calmer and more confident.
My son-in-law is still the same son-in-law, very sober.
He was not complacent or forgetful about his great achievements and the fact that he was now being crowned King of Han.
Still as awake as before...
Thinking about this in his heart, Cai Yong couldn't help but sigh that his daughter and he had really had the foresight to find such a good son-in-law.
I also feel that Niu Fu did a great deed by hacking Wei Zhongdao to death...
After walking with Liu Cheng for a while, Cai Yong speeded up and headed towards Chang'an City.
He wanted to come to Chang'an City first and inform Dong Zhuo and the ministers in Chang'an about Liu Cheng's resignation as King of Han.
After a conversation with Liu Cheng, especially after knowing that Yuan Shu would become emperor, many of Cai Yong's thoughts changed greatly.
A fool like Yuan Shu with a foreign surname dared to become the emperor. So what happened to his own son-in-law, who was so capable and a member of the Han clan, and was the king of Han?
Totally affordable!
Moreover, Yuan Shu has really proclaimed himself emperor. With Yuan Shu there to block him, his son-in-law will have a much easier time.
It is indeed a better time.
However, this matter ultimately depends on the negotiation between Kede and Dong Zhuo to see what Dong Zhuo means on this matter.
Do you really support it?
If there was no problem with Dong Zhuo and he just thought this way, then there would be no problem for Kede to become the King of Han.
Of course, even if there were no problems with Dong Zhuo, Kede wanted to become the King of Han this time, so he couldn't accept it all at once.
You can't be so unreserved.
It is necessary to give three words and three invitations, so that the character of Kede can be reflected and the identity and status can be highlighted...
With these things in mind, Cai Yong came to Chang'an all the way.
He met Dong Zhuo and informed Dong Zhuo about Liu Cheng's refusal to accept the king of Han.
Dong Zhuo nodded and asked Cai Yong some questions about things over there.
Then they started to call Li Ru over to discuss the matter.
"Father-in-law, I think that on the next trip, father-in-law should lead all officials to meet Kede in person..."
Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo and said.
Hearing what Li Ru said, Dong Zhuo pondered for a while without speaking.
Li Ru then said: "The main reason for asking my father-in-law to greet Kede in person is to allow my father-in-law to meet Kede and tell him personally about making him the King of Han.
The two of you have never met each other since Kede led the troops to the war. There are some things that cannot be explained clearly just by relying on pen and paper.
If you don't meet directly, in this case, you can explain everything that needs to be said clearly.
Otherwise, if there is any misunderstanding, it will be really bad."
After hearing what Li Ru said, Dong Zhuo thought for a while and nodded.
"Wenyou, you are right. It is indeed necessary for me to see Kede at this time and tell Kede personally about this matter.
Let’s talk about some other things…”
After saying this, this matter was quickly settled.
Then they began to mobilize hundreds of officials to follow Dong Zhuo out of Chang'an City to meet Liu Cheng.
To be continued...
