Chapter 653 Xun You Is Depressed

"Oh? In that case, His Majesty made his own decision." Liu Ye nodded without asking any more questions, as if he just believed it.

Liu Xie said nothing, seeming to acquiesce.

"A family cannot be without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day." Liu Ye looked at King Chen Liu and said, "Does your Majesty know what I mean by this?"

Liu Xie's throat twitched slightly, and he looked at Liu Ye calmly, "If you dare to ask the general what you mean, there's no harm in speaking up."

"I intend to recommend your Majesty to be the Son of Heaven, to be king in the sea, and to be high in the temples."

Liu Ye dropped a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth. Liu Xie's eyes were filled with surprise, but there was also a hint of expectation.

Isn't that what Dong Zhuo did back then?

Suddenly, Liu Xie, who was only a teenager, seemed to have grown up a lot.

"I dare to ask the general, what if I don't want to be the emperor?"

Liu Xie raised his head and tried his best to make the final resistance.

"Among the bloodlines of the late emperors, only the king and His Majesty are direct bloodlines, and it is justifiable for him to ascend the throne." Liu Ye said slowly: "If the king is unwilling, other great ancestors will inevitably have unhealthy bloodlines in the future, so it is better for the king to ascend the throne."

After saying that, Liu Ye's eyes lit up when he looked at Liu Xie, which seemed to contain a threatening color.

"I know, haha." Liu Xie laughed miserably and lowered his head.

"Since this is very good, please be prepared, Your Majesty." Liu Ye stood up and walked out, but turned around when he reached the door of the hall.

"Please don't act like the King of the North, otherwise, I will really not know what to do when the time comes."

After Liu Ye finished speaking meaningfully, he stepped onto the carriage without hesitation and quickly disappeared with the sound of horse hooves.

"King of the North?" Liu Xie laughed miserably: "The king will not be the king, hahahahaha!"

A few days later, Liu Xie ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, with the title of Emperor. He changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jian'an, which was the first year of Jian'an. He granted amnesty to all prisoners in the world and reduced the death penalty to one degree. The emperor Liu Bian was absurd when he was in power. He was addicted to pleasure every day and was not good at handling government affairs. Therefore, he voluntarily gave way to Liu Xie and was deposed as the king of the North.

As soon as this news came out, everyone in the world was shocked, and for a while, heated discussions swept across Jiangnan.

However, before these news reached Liu Ye's ears and eyes, he received shocking and angry news.

His right-hand man, Shangshu Ling Xun You, said he was ill and was at home.

Usually when Liu Ye was on an expedition, thanks to Xun You alone guarding Luoyang and handling many military and civil affairs in Guanzhong and Sili, he could be said to be Liu Ye's Xiao He, and he could handle government affairs at a glance. Although Liu Ye now has many wise men such as Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, etc., the one he relies on most is Xun You, just like Cao Cao cannot do without Xun Yu and Liu Bei cannot do without Zhuge Liang.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the street. Pedestrians on the street took cover after seeing this. Only a carriage pulled by two strong horses came at a fast speed. It suddenly stopped in front of the gate of Xun You's mansion, and the carriage followed. Dozens of brave knights, all in high spirits.

After the concierge saw the carriage, he stood up hurriedly, and saw the door curtain opened, and a man stepped out. He was in the prime of life, and he was majestic. He was Liu Ye, the general of the dynasty.

"I have seen the general." Concierge Xunde cupped his hands and said, "The general is here to visit your Majesty?"

"Well, I heard that Gongda is sick, so of course I want to come and see him."

"I will report this to your Majesty." Xun De turned around and was about to go in, but was stopped by Liu Ye.

"Okay, Gongda is seriously ill. He can just stay in bed. No notification is needed."

After Liu Ye finished speaking, the man with the golden sword walked in, followed by more than ten Huben guards behind him, and walked into the mansion in a mighty manner.

When Xun De saw this, his face was filled with bitterness.

"It's over. What's wrong with you? It's been revealed now."

Xun De had a bitter look on his face, but he didn't dare to cross Liu Ye to the front, so he had to follow the Huben guards with a worried expression on his face.

Liu Ye walked to Xun You's bedroom in one breath, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, making a clicking sound.

"Gongda, I'm here to visit you. Can I come in?"

"Please come in, General."

Xun You's voice was not surprised at all, as if he had expected it. Liu Ye also listened to the voice and distinguished it. Xun You's voice was completely energetic and not sick at all.

Liu Ye opened the door and walked in, only to see Xun You standing in the room calmly. There were a few letters on the desk. He didn't look like he was sick at all.

"Put down what you brought."

Liu Ye gave an order, and the Huben guards behind him put down the fruits and ginseng supplements brought from the palace.

"You all go out and close the door." Liu Ye ordered: "I and Gongda have something to discuss."

After hearing this, a dozen Huben guards walked out and closed the door.

"Haha, I heard that Gongda is sick, so I came here to visit." Liu Ye looked at Xun You and then said, "But looking at Gongda's appearance, he seems to be quite healthy."

Xun You looked normal and said: "The general is busy with official duties, so there is no need to come see Xun."

Liu Ye stared at Xun You, still smiling and said: "Why, Gongda, don't you invite me to sit down?"

"General, it's up to you," Xun You said, still lukewarm.

Liu Ye was unceremonious, sat down, looked at the books on the desk, and read out: "The Book of Songs Xiaoya? Is Gongda reading these at home these days?"

"Everything in the world is the land of the king; on the shore of the land, there is nothing like the king's ministers." Xun You also sat down and said slowly: "I think this is a good statement."

Liu Ye frowned, a cold light appeared in his pupils, and stared at Xun You. Xun You was also unafraid. He looked at Liu Ye and the atmosphere in the room seemed to solidify for a moment. The two people looked at each other as if they were real, and sparks were flying when they collided.

After a long time, Liu Ye slowly said: "So, Gongda pretended to be sick because he was very dissatisfied with the general?"

"yes."

Xun You stood up and couldn't help but raise his voice: "May I ask the general if you know why you defected to the general in the first place?"

"Why?"

"Because you firmly believe that the general is the hero who brings order to chaos!" All the people in the world will be happy to support the emperor and restore him as emperor, and the general is the pillar of the imperial court."

"The general also settled in Luoyang, conquered the remnants of Dong's bandits and Xiongnu tribes in the north, defeated millions of Yellow Turbans in the east, and contributed to the reconstruction of the Han Dynasty. Why do you depose the emperor today? Isn't Dong Zhuo second?"
