Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 545 Inheriting the Grand Order (The Finale)

Liu Bei said with a rare smile: "It seems that I didn't wait hard enough, it's just that Junzheng felt that the time hadn't come yet!"

Liu Yan and Liu Biao also nodded, agreeing with Liu Bei's statement.

Liu Yao sighed: "Oh, shall I persuade you to come in again?"

"It's not too fast, wait for two days." Liu Yu said.

Several people were talking in low voices as they walked out.

Liu Qing went straight back to the mansion and was admitted to the hospital. Xi Zhicai hurried up to greet him and whispered something in Liu Qing's ear.

"There is such a thing? Do you know who planned the painting?"

"Other than Yang Biao and Wang Yun, the only one who has this energy in Luoyang is the Cao family." Xi Zhicai said.

"Cao Cao?" When Liu Qing thought of this name, his mind became clearer.

Although Yang Biao and Wang Yun had the influence and ability to stir up public opinion, they did not have the courage to do this. Besides, Cao Cao, who had just arrived in Luoyang, perhaps with the help of his father, can do this.

It seems that the big one is coming.

"My lord, do you want to intervene in this matter?"

Liu Qing smiled lightly, gave up, and said: "Let him go, our itinerary remains the same, I want to see what Meng De wants to do."

In the last few days, the palace has become busy again, and it is really necessary to bring a lot of things when leaving this time.

In addition to the soldiers and horses of the three armies, there are also a few ladies who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, plus the maids who rewarded treasures from His Majesty during the time in the capital. In addition, there are many gifts from officials in various names.

As the posture of moving became more and more realistic, Liu Qing's own people became more and more unable to sit still.

Especially Tian Feng, who is busy with government affairs every day, is also a drummer.

In the evening of that day, several staff members, including Jushou Tian Feng, Guo Jiaxi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu and Chen Gong, came to the palace together.

"Why is Uncle Ju here?"

Ju Shou glanced at Tian Feng next to him, as if saying that it was all because of him.

"My lord, do you really want to leave Luoyang and return to Jizhou?"

Tian Feng asked straight to the point, this is different from the original plan!

Liu Qing smiled and replied: "Everything is almost ready, of course it is true."

"My lord, the great cause is only a short step away. Now that the foot has been taken, why are your hands tied at this time?"

After Tian Feng finished speaking, Guo Jia and the others all laughed and remained silent.

"Feng Xiao, you are so smiling, am I wrong?"

"That's right, that's right, what Yuan Hao said is very true, but everything is under the master's control, so Yuan Hao doesn't need to worry." Guo Jia explained.

Tian Feng turned his eyes back to Liu Qing, and seemed to ask again: Is this the case?

Liu Qing smiled, it is indeed no wonder that Tian Feng lost his composure, who made him a Mongolian.

Now he and Cui Yan have to deal with a lot of affairs in the court, many of which they don't know.

"Yuan Hao, don't worry, you will know when you leave."

……

The time to leave arrived as scheduled, and on this day, the Bohai Palace was crowded with people.

Either to watch the excitement, or to see off.

The battle for travel is also huge, there are dozens of carriages carrying people and goods, from the palace to Dongyangmen.

Those who came to see him off were not only common people, but also officials. As Liu Xie's uncle, Liu Qing naturally wanted to see him off.

Liu Qing rode on the golden spear, waving goodbye to the people from time to time, acting very naturally.

The onlookers didn't even see a hint of nostalgia for the power in the capital from him. They whispered to each other, praising King Bohai for his righteous heart and not greedy for power. He should be a model for all officials and princes.

Especially those children of aristocratic families who have not become scholars, looking for a small building with a good view on the street, holding up glasses of wine to send each other off, while competing in reciting poems and prose.

If Liu Qing heard it, he would definitely yell, what the hell, isn't this a bunch of licking dogs!

After leaving the city, the convoy moved forward on its own, while Liu Qing led a group of staff to bid farewell to the officials led by Liu Xie. Of course, some of the staff who served in office would not go with Liu Qing.

"Everyone, the rivers and mountains will not change, and the rivers will flow forever. Liu Qing will return to Jizhou today to enjoy peace and happiness. I hope that the Han Dynasty will be stable and never need me to wait for warriors."

"Uncle Emperor, have a good journey." Liu Xie said.

All the officials bowed together to bid farewell to the king of Bohai.

Liu Qing smiled, turned his horse's head, and caught up with the convoy.

Ma Rixun stood beside Liu Xie, looked at Liu Qing's back, and murmured to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, perhaps the king's previous overreach was to test whether your majesty is a qualified emperor. Fortunately, His Majesty did not back down and withstood the test."

Liu Xie felt that what Ma Rixun said was reasonable, so he nodded repeatedly.

Then he saw one of the officials riding a horse and silently followed.

Wang Yun recognized it at a glance, and quickly said to Cao Song: "Sinong, isn't that your son Cao Mengde? Why is he following the king?"

"My son Cao Cao has a very close personal relationship with the king, so let's just give him another ride."

Cao Song said it was fine, but he was proud in his heart. Whether this move can be reversed depends on my son Cao Cao!

"Then why are there so many people following?"

Only then did everyone realize that Cao Cao was following, not only the Cao brothers and Xiahou brothers, but also many people on foot.

And Cao Cao seemed to be deliberately slowing down his ride so that they could keep up.

There was an uproar at the city gate, and another group of people came out of the city. These people were all dressed in splendid attire, and they were born rich and noble, and their appearance was younger and more romantic than the last.

"Go to the king to comment, who is it, and write better!"

"Let's go, let's judge and judge, I, You Heng, make a fu, how can you be comparable!"

The fast horse gallops out along the road, and one can't help but think of the young man in fresh clothes and angry horse, bold and unrestrained.

And the people who came out of the city behind them were even more numerous, it was a vast expanse, now it was not a period of war, and the people also loved to eat melons, and when they heard something exciting, they would involuntarily join in.

Talented scholars from Luoyang competed in poems and prose, chasing after the King of Bohai for comments.

One-on-one fun.

Seeing the sudden change, Liu Yan and the others in the clan group were also a little surprised.

What the hell is this...

"Big brother and second brother, why don't we join in the fun!"

Behind Liu Bei, Zhang Feiyue was eager to try.

After hearing this, Liu Bei silently approached Liu Yan and said, "Does Cao Cao's move mean something else?"

Liu Yan frowned, he also felt that this happened a bit abnormally.

There are too many people out of the city, hundreds of thousands...

"Just wait and see what happens!" Liu Yan said.

Before the road, Liu Qing who was talking and laughing with the wives in the carriage was suddenly disturbed by the movement outside, and asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?"

Dian Wei's voice replied: "My lord, the people of Luoyang City came to see you off, and many people came."

As soon as Dian Wei finished speaking, he continued, "My lord, Cao Cao is here."

Mengde is still here.

"Send the order to stop the convoy, don't tell the common people to follow." Liu Qing ordered.

"My husband really cares about the people." Cai Yan laughed.

Liu Qing shook his head helplessly, smiled at Cai Yan, got out of the carriage, and stood beside the driver.

Cao Cao stopped his horse and happened to see Liu Qing coming out.

"Your Majesty, please come see me off."

Liu Qing thought, "Are you here to see me off? I'm too embarrassed to point you out."

"Thank you Mengde, it's just why there is such a big battle."

"The common people admire the king and cannot bear to leave the king. It is understandable." When Cao Cao returned, he suddenly showed embarrassment, and finally said: "My lord, since the people look forward to it, why doesn't your lord follow the public opinion?"

Liu Qing looked up at the sky at 45 degrees.

"Your wishes, and Luoyang's public opinion, cannot represent the public opinion of the world."

Cao Cao said: "Ke Cao was entrusted by the people of Yanzhou. I think it's the same reason, you prefects!"

While speaking, two teams of people galloped towards him, which aroused Dian Wei's vigilance.

Standing tall, Liu Qing saw at a glance that the banners of the people coming were "Dong" and "Ma".

It is Bingzhou Mu Dong Zhuo and Liangzhou Mu Ma Teng.

"My lord..."

The two started yelling from a long distance away, they were still so unstable despite their age.

Both of them are good at riding. They rode their horses all the way, jumped off their horses when they were far away, ran towards Liu Qing, and bowed after accepting their heads.

"The last will see the lord!"

"Please hurry up, two generals. You are also an important minister, why are you so frivolous, General Dong, you are thinner."

Liu Qing saw that Dong Zhuo had lost a lot of weight compared to last time, which shows that he worked hard with Ma Teng in Liangzhou to recover the lost land of the Qiang people.

"My lord is laughing at me. It's better to be thinner and able to ride a horse and shoot arrows. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to see my lord today." Dong Zhuo laughed.

The two were silent for a while, looked at each other, and immediately started to work together, each took down the cloth bags hanging from their waists, and opened them to block everyone's face.

Dong Zhuo was the first to speak: "My lord, this is a request from all the people in the 98 counties of the nine prefectures of Bingzhou. My lord rose up in the Yanmen of Bingzhou at the end of the century, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. It was the blessing of the Han ancestors, and the fate returned. Later, Bingzhou was restructured, turning the waste land into gold, and the people of Bingzhou I don’t dare to count on the favor of the great king, I implore the king to obey the destiny and inherit the great rule!”

Dong Zhuo has never been very quick to speak, so it can be seen that he has practiced in speaking these words.

Just as Liu Qing savored the meaning, Liu Yan and his family members came up and stood beside Cao Cao.

Obviously, they heard most of Dong Zhuo's words just now.

Liu Yan murmured to the rest of the clan in a low voice: "We still underestimate Junzheng, and we underestimate myself."

Liu Yu looked at Dong Zhuo with shame on his face. He was the first to join Liu Qing's camp, but unfortunately he never understood what the lord wanted.

Like Liu Yan and the others, he thought that the face and power of his clan would be enough for Liu Qing to take over.

However, he was severely rejected by Liu Qing.

Taking the people as their will and pleading for their lives, why didn't they think of it!

It is not difficult for them to get such a petition for all peoples.

At this time, Ma Teng spoke.

"Liangzhou Muma Teng brought a letter of petition from the people of 98 counties in the [-] prefectures of Liangzhou, and presented it to the king. Liangzhou was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. Born in Sanfu, but grew up in Liangzhou since he was a child, with his own king, Liangzhou is really a new day, a new look, so the people of Liangzhou implore the king to obey the sky and inherit the great rule!"

Everyone was amazed, who would dare to say that the general is not good at speech, who would dare to say that Ma Teng is uneducated?

While everyone was watching how King Bohai would deal with it, Liu Bei beside Liu Yan suddenly dismounted, unhurriedly took a cloth bag from the horse's back, and walked towards Liu Qing.

This scene directly confused Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu You and the other clan members.

Liu Biao pointed, "Xuande..."

"Xuzhou Shepherd Liu Bei!" Liu Bei lifted the package over his head and shouted very loudly, almost attracting everyone's attention.

"On behalf of the people of the 62 counties of Xuzhou's five prefectures, I implore the king to obey the sky and inherit the great order!"

Straight to the point, simple and rude, even the lines were copied from Ma Teng.

The clan members first looked at each other in blank dismay, then got off their horses again and again, regardless of whether there was a request for orders, they rushed forward, each attending to his own statement.

"Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan, on behalf of the people in the 110 and eight counties of the twelve counties of Yizhou, implore the king to obey the sky and inherit the great rule!"

"Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, on behalf of the people of the 110 and seven counties of the seven counties of Jingzhou and Xiangzhou, I implore the king to obey the heavens and inherit the great order!"

"Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu, on behalf of the people of Youzhou's eleven counties and ninety counties, implore the king to obey the heavens and inherit the great order!"

"Liu Yao, shepherd of Yangzhou, on behalf of the people of the 92 counties of the six prefectures of Yangzhou, implore the king to obey the heavens and inherit the great order!"

After a while of noise, it was quiet, surprisingly quiet.

Even the group of young Confucian scholars who were arguing the most, as well as the common people who blocked the road tightly, fell silent.

The atmosphere was so heightened that Liu Qing suddenly looked at the team in front of him.

Several figures in the front team got off their horses and walked towards Liu Qing. They were Ju Shou, Huang Wan, and Li Wen.

"Qingzhou Mu Jushou, on behalf of Qingzhou's 65 prefectures and [-] counties, presented the petition of all people to the king. Qingzhou was repeatedly tormented by wars, and there were millions of yellow scarves who once rebelled. He was the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, so that millions of yellow scarves bowed their heads and surrendered. Today Qingzhou is full of young crops, the salt fields are rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, all of this is due to the merits of the king, all people in Qingzhou, I implore the king to obey the heavens, and be clear about the great rule!"

After finishing speaking, the next one is Li Wen.

"Jizhou Mu Liwen, on behalf of the people of Jizhou's nine prefectures and hundreds of counties, dedicated all the people's books to the king. Jizhou is the land of the king's dragon prosperity. The subjects of Jizhou will always be the king's backing. I hope the king will follow the public opinion and inherit the great rule!"

Huang Wan paused for a moment, and then said: "The people of the 97 counties of the six counties of Yuzhou in Wan's generation implore the king to ascend the throne!"

After Huang Wan said it, of the thirteen prefectures in the world, eleven prefectures have entered the Wanmin Letter to persuade them to enter. Except for Sili and Jiaozhou far away in the world, these eleven prefectures have already become the world.

Standing on the car, Liu Qing looked at all the shepherds from various states who had arrived. Some did it deliberately, some acted on the fly, but Ju Shou and others followed the trend. In short, all of this did not escape Liu Qing's expectations.

On the other side, in front of the imperial chariot, a small official ran back in a panic, knelt in front of the imperial chariot and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good!"

"Why are you so flustered?" Ma Rixun scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty... over there, the eleven prefectures and herdsmen came together, and each of them brought a letter from the people to persuade the King of Bohai to take the throne."

"What!" Ma Rixun was shocked, he was still talking for Liu Qing just now.

Liu Xie's face turned pale when he heard the words "Eleven State Shepherd", "Wan Min Shu" and "Persuasion to Advance". He had just watched Wang Shuyuan go away, and almost thought that the catastrophe had finally passed.

He looked at Ma Rizun in some confusion, what to do, his little head couldn't turn around.

Ma Rixun sighed. Among the officials, he might still be able to argue with reason, but how could he have the confidence to face the people of the eleven states in the world.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent."

Then fell silent, Liu Xie also fell silent, and the officials behind him watched quietly, as if they had accepted this established fact early in their hearts.

A carriage came out slowly under the protection of several guards, attracting everyone's attention. He went straight out of the city, obviously heading for King Bohai.

Everyone couldn't help being curious about the characters in the carriage.

Liu Qing, who was supported by everyone, got out of the carriage and helped Jushou Huang Wan and others up one by one.

"Everyone's actions have touched Qing deeply. However, the great rule of the country and the change of artifacts are by no means a joke. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Qing has to be treated with caution."

What Liu Qing meant was that he would consider it.

Huang Wan, who was old and highly respected, immediately said: "Your Majesty comes from the lineage of King Hejian, and he is the nephew of Emperor Xiaohuan. Now benevolence and virtue are written all over the world, grace and power are spread in all directions, and all the people in the world respect and support him. Why is Your Majesty hesitant?"

"Yes, please, Your Majesty, don't betray the destiny and the will of the people, and inherit the great order!" Everyone said in unison.

Before Liu Qing could speak, a carriage stopped slowly, and everyone watched curiously.

They all recognized the person walking out of the carriage as Sikong Tianfeng.

But the person who walked out afterwards was very strange.

It was an old man with gray hair and beard, wearing the clothes of a palace servant, everyone couldn't help but wonder, is there such an old man in the palace?
Apparently they weren't sure.

Tian Feng said: "Everyone, this is Dai Yong, the former Emperor Xiaohuan's regular attendant."

After the introduction, everyone was amazed, this is a real old man from the former dynasty.

Tian Feng abdicated, Dai Yong came up, and took out a very old silk book from his sleeve, the top was full of mottled years.

"This is an imperial edict written by Emperor Xiaohuan. It is said that the first emperor had no heir, and he succeeded his younger brother Liu Kui, king of Bohai, to inherit the throne. Trapped in dust, but there will be a time to see the sun again, the old man has lingered until now, just for this moment!"

Dai Yong's words were really frightening, so it turned out that Emperor Xiaoling was a puppet manipulated by jesters?No wonder the Dou family and the Chen family were all overthrown by eunuchs, and then they made the wrong mistake and framed the King of Bohai, which almost wiped out this line of the emperor. It turned out that there was such an experience.

These things have long been commonplace, when Dai Yong talked about it, it coincided with the rumors everywhere, which made it more real.

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Since the late emperor's edict, the king is the only heir of the late king of Bohai Sea. In this world, there is no one who is more worthy of the throne than the king, not to mention the raging public opinion. Please stop hesitating!"

"Please don't hesitate, Your Majesty!"

Dai Yong's words can be said to have taken away the legitimacy of Liu Hong's lineage, and Liu Xie is no longer a problem, and even the Zen seat is not needed.

Because in today's world, no one is more qualified to sit on the throne than Liu Qing.

Righteousness, fame, virtue, support, and public opinion are all complete.

Liu Qing turned around and faced Luo Yang, quietly doing his last thoughts.

"Please the king succeed you!"

Mu Qiqi of Eleven States knelt down and urged them to come in.

"Please the king succeed you!"

Zhou Mu's entourage and generals, the spirited scholars watching the excitement, and Liu Qing's aides all followed suit.

At this moment, there is no voice of doubt.

"Please the king succeed you!"

All the people around knelt down, and although their voices were uneven, they spread like a tidal wave, reaching the ears of Liu Xie and other officials outside the city gate.

Hearing the thunderous shouts, Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. He didn't know which muscle had suddenly opened up, and smiled at Ma Ridun beside him: "Teacher, I suddenly felt that it would be better for me to be the King of Bohai Sea."

As if letting go of something, he spoke so relieved.

Ma Rixun didn't know that Liu Xie had let go of the heavy burden. He regarded himself as the emperor's teacher and taught Liu Xie strictly.

Speaking of it, he also felt sorry for Liu Xie, but the country was in ruins, and he couldn't take a breath. Seeing Liu Xie relieved, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

After all, he was old too.

Liu Qing looked westward at Luoyang and stopped for a long time. At this moment, not long after the sun had just risen, he cast a lengthy figure in front of him.

Liu Qing didn't say a word, just walked forward.

To Luoyang, to the palace, to that location.

Although Liu Qing is silent, he has already told the princes and the people his choice with practical actions.

Eleven state shepherds of the Han Dynasty, join hands to keep up.

The common people came shoulder to shoulder and rushed back to the city.

……

……

……

On January [-]st, [-] A.D., Liu Qing, king of Bohai, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the Xuanming Hall of Luoyang North Palace. (end of this chapter)
