Chapter 278 Jiangling Wind and Cloud (1)
Tent
Jian Yong said affirmatively to Liu Bei: "Lord, my subordinates spent a lot of money to find out about this matter from the head of the Linjiang Palace. The medical officer said that the death of Linjiang King Liu Biao has happened in recent times."
Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "What's important is that Liu Jingsheng has not yet confirmed that his eldest son Liu Qi will assassinate the throne, but under the slander of the Cai family, Kuai family, he wants to make his second son Liu Cong the crown prince. The deposed eldest son and the youngest son have been a way of chaos since ancient times. We must not let this happen."
Mi Zhu, who was standing beside him, came forward and answered, "If Liu Cong really attacked the throne of King Linjiang, our efforts for the past or two years would be wasted."
After Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, he still used his interpersonal skills to bribe the hearts of the gentry and civil servants of Linjiang Kingdom, and tried his best to make friends with Liu Qi.
In Linjiang Kingdom, all the great families of Jingzhou that Liu Biao relied on wanted Liu Cong, who was born by the Cai family, to inherit the throne. So Liu Qi was Liu Biao's eldest son, but he was much less likely to win the throne than Liu Cong.
What a person Liu Bei is, of course he knows this. But this is precisely why he chose Liu Qi over Liu Cong.
Liu Bei has lofty ambitions. If he supports Liu Cong ascends, he will be just an inconspicuous little character among the many supporters. On the contrary, if Liu Bei goes to help the isolated Liu Qi, who is incompetent, he will be able to achieve the kingly and domineering career that he has not achieved for decades in his life.
At this time, Jian Yong caught Mi Zhu's words and said, "But we have no way to get close to King Linjiang now. The entire palace and even the entire Jiangling City are controlled by the Cai family."
Liu Bei said coldly: "What's the use if you get close to him? Should an outsider run to Liu Jingsheng's sickbed and tell him that it is not necessary to abolish the eldest son and establish the young son? What is this called, and it will definitely arouse suspicion and suspicion among Liu Jingsheng and others."
Behind Liu Bei, Guan Yu, who had not spoken for a long time, walked a few steps forward, stroked his long beard and said, "Brother, if it really doesn't work... let's be tough and support Liu Qi to the throne!"
Zhang Fei behind him also blew his beard and stared at him and said, "That's right, brother, don't think so complicated. Just wait for Liu Jingsheng, the old man, to kick his legs and let's pick up the guy and go up and do it."
Jian Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Two generals, how easy is it as you said. Most of the 50,000 armors in Linjiang Kingdom are in the hands of the Cai family, and the smallest half is in the hands of the Kuai family and the Pang family. The Kuai family, the Pang family and the Cai family are also in the same spirit. How can we achieve success by doing our own things by doing it alone?"
Jian Yong originally thought that Liu Bei would agree with his idea, but Liu Bei lowered his head and pondered for a few breaths, paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, and then said as if he was determined: "Yun Chang said it well. Now we only have this path, but we are not without a chance of winning!"
Jian Yong and Mi Zhu both showed both suspicious and surprised expressions, and they alluded to each other.
Liu Bei snorted slightly and explained to the two of them: "Of course I wouldn't be stupid enough to fight with these three thousand children. Although those big families have controlled almost all the national soldiers in Linjiang, we have also won over many heroes and heroes in Jingzhou in recent years. There are several county soldiers and generals of the county soldiers and generals of several Jingzhou, and we have also met many of the middle and lower gentry families. As long as these forces are combined, the outcome is unknown."
...
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Jian'an, Jiangling, the capital of Linjiang Kingdom, was decorated with lights and colorful colors, full of festive atmosphere.
One of the streets was very strange. There were only two luxury courtyards on the street. On this side of the street, people came and went, and from time to time, high-ranking officials drove to the entrance of a luxury courtyard. But in front of the courtyard on the other side of the street, it was deserted and deserted.
The lively house was Liu Cong's mansion, while the deserted one was Liu Qi's house.
At this time, a few horse hooves and sounds of wheels came from the bluestone street. A carriage flashed at the intersection.
The sect in front of Liu Cong's mansion habitually met him, but unexpectedly the two carriages did not stop at all and walked past Liu Cong's mansion. The sect smiled awkwardly and teased, "Damn, what's wrong with me today? This shabby carriage, you can tell at a glance that it should not be the guest of our young master!"
As he spoke, the carriage had already parked steadily in front of Liu Qi's mansion. A servant got out of the car and handed a message to the idle and bored sect.
After a while, Liu Qi's house door opened wide, and a man in a cloak came down from the carriage. The hood on the cloak covered his head and couldn't see his face clearly. Liu Qi's servant quickly welcomed him in.
The visitor just entered the front yard of the mansion and had not yet entered the hall, and found that Liu Qi had stood in the yard and waited. Before he could speak, Liu Qi was caught off guard and gave the visitor a big gift. What he said was not a polite greeting, but a cry in grief: "Uncle saved me!"
The visitor took off his cloak and showed his face. It was Liu Bei. He helped Liu Qi up and said, "Why should you do this for your son? This is really a killing Bei!"
In fact, if Liu Qi hadn't been surveillance, he would have personally come outside the door to welcome the distinguished guest.
While Liu Qi welcomed Liu Bei into the hall, he talked about his recent situation in front of Liu Bei. At present, Liu Qi's actual condition is just a little better under house arrest. He can't even enter the Linjiang Palace now. Not to mention seeing Liu Biao, he will be monitored by people from time to time when he walks around Jiangling City.
Finally, Liu Qi cried and said to Liu Bei: "Now, my father cannot afford to get sick. If my father is in trouble, then Cai will definitely harm Yu, and his life will be difficult to protect!"
Liu Bei said angrily: "Don't worry, young master, you will definitely not be in trouble in this matter. In addition to saving the life of the young master. After the Prince of Linjiang was in funeral, Bei also did his best to support the young master."
Liu Qi obviously paid more attention to saving his life than to the superiors. He asked Liu Bei urgently: "So, how should I avoid the murder now?"
Liu Bei smiled and said the plan he had prepared long ago: "A few days ago, Huang Zu of Jiangxia died of illness. Linjiang Kingdom could take over his territory legitimately. But he has not sent officials and subordinates to actually control Jiangxia. The young master can recommend himself to King Linjiang to serve in Jiangxia."
Liu Qi was stunned and said, "I can't see my father now. I recommend myself to him, which is actually asking the Cai family. The emperor's uncle thinks they can agree to leave Jiangling?"
Liu Bei said confidently: "Don't worry, they will agree. Because they think that letting you go to Jiangxia without taking one soldier is a dead end. In this way, they are equivalent to using a knife to get rid of you, achieving your goal, and not bearing a bad reputation. Why not do it? Even if you don't achieve your goal, you are still hundreds of miles away, and it will not pose a direct threat to their takeover of Linjiang."
