Chapter 93 Section 6 Self-Casting
When the news of Liu Yan's death spread to Fucheng, Deng Chen wept sadly, but Liu Xiu didn't cry, not even a drop of tears. He only asked the envoy a question: After Bo Sheng's death, who will succeed Situ?The envoy replied: "Liu Ci." Liu Xiu said to Deng Chen after listening, "I must go back to Wancheng to apologize."
Deng Chen was horrified, Wancheng could not go back!Staff members such as Feng Yi, Yao Qi and others also tried their best to dissuade them: the situation in Wancheng is not clear now, the Green Forest Army just killed Liu Yan, maybe there will be a big cleanup next time, you will go back this time, and you will be on the knife's edge Hit?What's more, you are Liu Yan's younger brother, and you have just achieved the great feat of the Kunyang Great Victory. The Green Forest Army must be as afraid of you as they are of Liu Yan. In order to prevent you from avenging Liu Yan, they will definitely kill you.It's better to stay in the parent city first, wait and see.
Liu Xiu insisted on going back to Wancheng, and said: "If the Green Forest Army wants to clean up, they will definitely conceal Bo Sheng's death, make up a random excuse, and trick us back to Wancheng to catch them all. Now that Bo Sheng is dead, he will succeed Da Situ The author is not the leader of the Green Forest Army, but Liu Ci, which shows that the understanding between the Green Forest Army and the Liu family has been reached, so don't worry too much." There are other things that Liu Xiu can't say clearly.In fact, he had almost no choice but to return to Wancheng and surrender.What else can he do?With just a small number of people under him, he has no ability to rebel and stay on the sidelines in his father's city, and it will only show his guilty conscience, which makes people even more suspicious.
Liu Xiu's intention to go was decided, and Deng Chen, Feng Yi, Yao Qi and others saw that they could not stop them, so they voluntarily went with them.A group of more than ten people embarked on a journey of life and death to Wancheng today.
Next, Liu Xiu's performance in Wancheng should be attributed to the history of Chinese performances rather than the history of Chinese politics.In front of all forces in Wancheng, Liu Xiu successfully played the role of a sinner who sincerely repents, a younger brother who draws a clear line with his elder brother, a gangster with no ambitions, and a waste who has nothing to do with the world.Facts have proved that this is definitely a masterful performance at the actor level.
Liu Yan's former subordinate Cen Peng and others heard that Liu Xiu had returned and went out of the city early to greet him. Although they nominally belonged to the successor Situ Liu Ci, they didn't see it that way. They regarded themselves as Liu Xiu. Only Liu Yan's younger brother Liu Xiu has the right to inherit his private assets.They prefer Liu Xiulai to be their new master.When Liu Xiu appeared in their line of sight, they were like children who had been wronged and finally saw an adult, and they all gathered around, hoping to get encouragement and comfort from Liu Xiu.However, they soon became disappointed. Liu Xiu didn't answer them, and just moved forward. They were unwilling to be reconciled, followed Liu Xiu, and repeatedly tried to lead the topic to Liu Yan, but Liu Xiu's answer was always just one sentence: I am guilty. In the body, I can't bear to ask each other.
After entering Wancheng, Liu Xiu went straight to Liu Xuan's palace without entering the house.When the emperor and his ministers met, Liu Xiu had nothing to say, but bowed down to apologize.Liu Xuan looked at Liu Xiu who was in awe and fear, and felt a sense of dignity as an emperor, and at the same time, a sense of guilt as a brother of the clan.Liu Xiu is different from Liu Yan. Every time Liu Xuan sees Liu Yan, he always feels that the mountains are in front of him, making it hard to breathe. However, Liu Xiu will not bring him this kind of pressure. On the contrary, he quite likes this well-behaved and docile family. younger brother.
How to deal with Liu Xiu?Liu Xuan had no idea for a moment.Before Liu Yan died, he solemnly entrusted Liu Xiu to him, and he also agreed.He really wanted to keep his promise and spare Liu Xiu, but he didn't dare to make his own claim until he reached a consensus with Zhu Yu and others.If he publicly spared Liu Xiu, but Zhu Tuan and others refused to agree, in order to prevent Liu Xiu from avenging Liu Yan in the future, he had to kill Liu Xiu, then he would be wrong at both ends, since he offended the Liu clan, Offended the Green Forest Army again.Since the Green Forest Army dared to kill Liu Yan, if Liu Xuan was disobedient, they would also dare to kill him.In short, there is no need to offend the Green Forest Army for Liu Xiu for the time being.As for how to deal with Liu Xiu, it will not be too late to decide after discussing with Zhu Yu and others.Liu Xuan had made up his mind, so he didn't express his opinion. He just helped Liu Xiu up and said: "Uncle Wen has worked hard all the way, let's go back to rest first."We will discuss it tomorrow.
Liu Xiujian resigned and said: "The minister treats the body of a crime and dare not go home. Please stay in the guard and be driven by your majesty." Liu Xiu's purpose is very clear, that is, never leave the palace easily, and must stay by Liu Xuan's side. Staying right under your nose, not going anywhere, I believe in you, I give my life to you.Liu Xuan was greatly moved, so he agreed to Liu Xiu's request.
