Liu Ke became Zongzheng, and the most unhappy person was Liu Bei.
Once upon a time, Liu Bei went through all kinds of troubles to prove his origin in order to join the Han clan clan. He was originally proud that he was the "uncle of the emperor" and had a higher seniority than Liu Ke.
Now the evidence is conclusive, Liu Ke¡¯s hidden seniority is higher, and he even became Zongzheng. For Liu Bei, it was undoubtedly a blow.
So he questioned Liu Ke¡¯s Zongzheng position. Although his voice was very weak, almost no one listened to him.
"How virtuous and capable is Liu Dingfang, who occupies the position of Zongzheng?"
Liu Ke usually doesn't bother to care about Liu Bei, but this sentence is very harsh. So he wrote back and said tactfully:
"There are hundreds of descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan. Who is your ancestor?"
Liu Bei was stunned speechless. His status as a member of the Han clan was something he was bragging about. He was so poor that he sold his straw sandals, so there was no proof.
The fiefdom of King Jing of Zhongshan is in Zhuojun, Youzhou, where Liu Bei was born. But what Prince Jing likes most is having children, and he has more than 120 sons in total.
As for his grandson, no one counts them.
This is also the reason why no one dared to refute Liu Bei after he claimed to be King Jing of Zhongshan.
Liu Bei was certainly not happy to be so rebuffed by Liu Ke. Just as he was about to write vigorously, he was dissuaded by Jian Yong.
"My lord, the Marquis of Dongyang is Zongzheng now. Even if you are really a clan member of the Han Dynasty, it would only take a few words for him to dismiss you. Why should you be acquainted with him?"
This sentence is very bold, and only Liu Bei's disciple Jian Yong dared to say it.
But there is still truth, Liu Bei had no choice but to grab the paper into a ball and vent his anger.
After seeing Liu Bei calm down, Jian Yong said: "My lord, the most fundamental reason why you are not taken seriously is that you have no strength!"
When Liu Bei heard such heartfelt words, he immediately admired them.
In the final analysis, it¡¯s because I have no power and still need to work hard!
So Liu Bei is more eager for power, at least to become a state boss.
In Xuzhou, there is also a person who is depressed and frustrated, and that is Cao Bao.
Now he is synonymous with fool. Even though there is a big tree like Dongyang Marquis, he refuses to hug his thigh.
On the other hand, Cao Bao is also a man of blood, because he did not grovel just because Liu Ke was powerful.
Now, there are three major relatives in Yangzhou, with great power.
The first one is Zhao Yun. He himself is the general in charge of Liu Ke's army, and his sister is Liu Ke's wife. The second one is the Mi family. As soon as Mi Zhu became an official, he became the governor of Jiujiang and won Liu Ke's trust. Mi Fang was also the governor of Wu County. The third one is Cai Yong, who is in charge of culture and education in Yangzhou, and almost half of the new officials are his students.
Cao Bao could have had such treatment, but now? He was quite marginalized in Xuzhou.
There were originally four major families in Xuzhou. After the Mi family left, the Cao family, the Sun family, and the Chen family all became fat. Now the Sun family and the Chen family have begun to join forces to deal with the Cao family, spreading rumors that Cao Bao is a fool, and slowly encroaching on the Cao family's territory.
It¡¯s such a sad life!
Tao Qian is very old and often sick. Looking for him to seek justice? Cao Bao is not stupid.
Therefore, Liu Bei and Cao Bao are very close.
Liu Bei is a foreign force and is definitely not popular, so he needs Cao Bao's help, and Cao Bao also needs to hug each other for warmth. Both of them have their own agendas.
They were brought back together this time because Tao Qian was ill again and could hardly handle government affairs.
After the two drank a lot, they cried and complained, and then the topic turned to the heir of Xuzhou.
Tao Qian has two legitimate sons. Tao Shang has a weak character and cannot handle things, while the second son Tao Ying is young and cannot stand on the stage.
This is also the reason why Tao Qian said that he could consider giving up the position of Xuzhou governor to Liu Ke.
In other words, after Tao Qian's death, the successor is a big problem.
"I think Xuande is quite wise. If he is not under Dongyang Marquis, why can't he inherit the position of Xuzhou governor?" Cao Bao said suddenly.
Liu Bei couldn't help but feel excited. He wiped out the Yellow Turbans for the imperial court, but only got the official position of county magistrate. It can be said that he was very frustrated.
So, if he really wanted to have the position of governor in front of him, how could he not be tempted?
It happened that counselor Li Ru was at a loss when he suddenly heard the news that Liu Bei was dissatisfied with Liu Ke. He felt that there was room for manipulation, so he traveled thousands of miles to join Liu Bei.
Even if Yangzhou cannot be destroyed, Xuzhou must be cut off as an ally.
Li Ru changed his name to Li Shang and visited Liu Bei. As soon as they met, he said, "Does Mr. Xuande have the intention to subdue the Han Dynasty?"
Of course there is! Liu Bei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
The two chatted all over the place, and Liu Bei was deeply impressed by Li Ru's knowledge.
Liu Bei has always been eager for talents. He believes that the only thing he is not as good as Dongyang Marquis is that he does not have enough counselors.
Li Ru seized Liu Bei's ambition and said wildly: "Xuan De Gong can capture Xuzhou first, and then Qingzhou. Beihai Kong Rong is weak and has nothing to fear. Once the army arrives, he will surely surrender. You who own the land of two states will have You have the capital to compete in the world. If you are friendly with Gongsun Zan in the north, you can attack Yuan Shao from both front and rear, and Jizhou can get"
Liu Bei's blood boiled with excitement, but he was stumped by the first step of Li Ru's plan.
This was Li Ru's real purpose, so he boldly suggested that Liu Bei seize Xuzhou.
"Tao Gong treats me well, how can I betray him?" Liu Bei sighed.
Li Ru looked down on such people very much. They were very honest physically but said they didn't want it.
"Leave this matter to me!"
So, Liu Bei took Li Ru to visit Tao Qian.
Li Ru eloquently explained the current predicament of Xuzhou, the most famous of which is the "Threat Theory of Dongyang Marquis".
Tao Qian¡¯s eyes widened and he couldn¡¯t believe it.
"If the Marquis of Dongyang had no ambitions, why didn't he welcome Emperor Xian? As long as he greeted Emperor Xian and shouted from the top, Tao Gong would definitely offer Xuzhou. And there were countless loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty like Tao Gong, such as Liu Yu of Youzhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou wait.
With such an advantage, half of the country can be returned to the rule of the Han Dynasty, and one million more troops can be raised, with the Marquis of Dongyang as the commander-in-chief, and the world can be brought to peace. However, Dongyang Hou did not welcome Emperor Xian! "
Li Ru emphasized the last sentence.
Tao Qian was so emotionally moved by Li Ru's impassioned speech that the last sentence hurt him even more.
Therefore, he willingly handed over Xuzhou, appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Xuzhou, and presented himself to the imperial court.
No matter how Chen Deng and Sun Qian tried to persuade them, even their death remonstrances were of no use.
Liu Bei began to take over many things in Xuzhou, and he was very high-spirited and admired Li Ru even more.
Such talented people should stay by our side!
She even hugged Li Ru while sleeping, for fear that he would run away and make Zhang Fei jealous.
With the help of Li Ru, Liu Bei easily became the governor of Xuzhou.
After gaining power, Liu Bei went out of his way and directly imposed heavy taxes on Yangzhou products. This seriously violated the agreement signed by the Eighteenth Route princes when they attacked Dong Zhuo. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
