Chapter 168 Seizing Power (1)

Qu Liang summoned all the important officials in Linzi, ordered people to guard outside, and decided to elect one person to take power temporarily.

During the discussion, there was a sudden noise outside. Qu Liang frowned and asked displeasedly: "Who is making the noise outside?"

Before the servant could reply, there was a bang, and the gate of the Governor's Mansion was kicked open.

Hearing this sound, Qu Liang felt something was wrong in his heart, and couldn't help losing his mind.

"Could it be that the bandits came in?"

"You are discussing important matters but I don't know what is the meaning of this? Could it be that I think I can't do it even if I die!"

As soon as Qu Liang finished speaking, he heard Liu Cheng's voice.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and hurriedly stood up to greet them.

It's not that everyone is afraid of Liu Cheng, but that Liu Cheng is the king of Qi after all, and he can do it well, so there is some fear, but it's not because of Liu Cheng, but because of what's going on with Chu Fei behind him.

"See King Qi."

"Exemption."

Liu Cheng looked stern, walked to the main seat in two or three steps and sat down.

Chu Fei was dismissed from his post, and now he is dressed in white again, so he didn't choose to take a seat, but followed Liu Cheng's side.

This time Liu Cheng didn't bring many people with him, only Chu Fei, Li He, Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

Even if Qu Liang wanted to make some small moves, with the strength of the four of them, it was enough to kill a bloody path.

"If it weren't for the lonely man to observe the movement of the bandits at any time, I'm afraid I wouldn't know about this matter until now. Since you can't understand such a big event, please let me know, Mr. Qu, what is the meaning of this?"

Qu Liang's heart trembled, and he couldn't help asking: "I don't know what King Qi is talking about?"

"Hmph, what's the matter?" Liu Cheng snorted coldly and said, "What else do you think can make this king so angry?"

Hearing Liu Cheng's words, cold sweat broke out on Qu Liang's forehead.

Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be reported to the King of Qi. The King of Qi just pretended to listen on the sidelines. At most, he gave his opinions. The person who was temporarily in power still had to be elected by them.

But looking at King Qi's appearance, it was clear that he was here to find fault. This was what he was most afraid of, so he didn't inform Liu Cheng.

Now that Liu Cheng came to him, he must have some excuses.

Liu Cheng is not scary, he is easy to deal with, but Chu Fei behind him is not a good opponent, what is he afraid to do, what can't he do?

"This...isn't this about to send people there, but unexpectedly, King Qi, you arrived first, so...then let's start?"

Liu Cheng snorted coldly when he heard the words, and then ignored Qu Liang, but said to everyone: "It is a pity that Governor Gong died for the country. It should have been reported to the imperial court for a grand burial in the whole city, but now the bandit soldiers are outside. The tiger is watching, and the city cannot be left alone for a day, so one person needs to wait for the post of governor to fight against foreign enemies."

"What King Qi said is absolutely true."

Qu Liang was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly interjected: "We are all state officials, and we are familiar with the affairs of the state on weekdays. As for the delay, you can retreat with peace of mind.”

Before Qu Liang's enemy could be uttered, Liu Cheng snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, what's the meaning of you forcefully interrupting the lonely king before he finished speaking?"

"This"

Qu Liang was stunned, and so were the others.

Where did Liu Cheng, who was originally cynical and indifferent to world affairs, go?Why is it full of gunpowder when I open my mouth today? Is this still the same person?
Of course, Qu Liang didn't know what gunpowder was, but at this moment he felt as disgusting as if he had eaten fly feces, his face suddenly turned red and he was speechless.

Liu Cheng ignored Qu Liang, but spoke again to everyone: "Now that the bandit soldiers are outside, everything is about retreating from the enemy. My lords don't understand military affairs, so it's better not to delay important events."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.

The meaning of these words is very clear, the Yellow Turban Army is coming to your door, and the city can't stop it, so why do you care about your government affairs or not?The first task is to get rid of the enemy, do you have the ability?No?Okay, then let the person who knows how to fight best go up, who knows how to fight best?Do I need to say that?

"King Qi, it is absolutely impossible at this time, the enemy army will naturally retreat, but things in the city must also be done."

Qu Liang was in a hurry, and immediately stepped forward and said: "The state is the foundation of the court, and it must not be abandoned. It is only necessary to send a strong general to march and fight, and it must not take power. Those who hold great power need both ability and morality. It can stabilize government affairs and do a good job of logistics for the military.”

"En." Liu Cheng's reaction was far beyond Qu Liang's expectation.

Liu Chengxian nodded, and then echoed: "What Master Qu said is true, since you recommend Gu Gu so much, then Gu will be in charge of the affairs of the city for now."

"what?"

Qu Liang was completely taken aback. He really didn't expect that Liu Cheng's recommendation of Chu Fei was a lie, and that he wanted to hold power was the truth.

If he pretended to be confused without mentioning this matter, it would be impolite for Liu Cheng to bring it up, but if he said it at this time, then this matter would be difficult to handle.

The most important thing is that Liu Cheng has already complied, and it is difficult to turn back.

But he didn't say anything, what kind of trouble did he promise to make?
Those present were all sensible people, although Qu Liang didn't mean that, but Liu Chengjie's words were sure and accurate, so that everyone couldn't open their mouths to refute.

Just when everyone was in a daze, one person stood up from the crowd, first bowed to Liu Cheng, then bowed to everyone and said: "Qian thinks that the king of Qi is indeed the most suitable candidate, I don't know what you think." How about next?"

This person is Sun Qian.

Sun Qian's status in the governor's department was not high, but he was just qualified to participate in such a meeting.

No one expected that such a person who usually does not show his mountains and dews would suddenly stand up to support King Qi at this time, making everyone even more confused.

Sun Qian's move not only made everyone dumbfounded, but even Chu Fei was taken aback.

If Sun Qian hadn't stood up suddenly, he would have almost forgotten about this person.

Anyway, Sun Gan is also a famous figure in history. Since I have forgotten such a number one figure, I really shouldn't.

However, Sun Qian's words still reminded everyone that King Qi is bound to win. Chu Fei, you can choose a person with a higher title than King Qi, or someone who can barely compete with him, and this person is even stronger than King Qi. There are many reliable ones, only if you are willing to tear your face with King Qi.

The Department of Inspectors said it wasn't too big, and it wasn't too small, but it was impossible to find a second one with a title like King Qi's.

After hearing the words, everyone hesitated for a while, and then began to agree one after another. Qu Liang and the others looked ugly, but they didn't know how to refute.

In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reluctantly let Liu Cheng take over the power.
