Liu Qi's generals took their copies of the letters colluding with Yuan Shao and went to the mansions of the ministers in the court.

Faced with these "conclusive" evidences, these important officials in the court undoubtedly accepted another gift from Liu Qi, and the slips representing the "evidence of guilt" were returned with smiles.

Gave it to Liu Qi.

They can be shameless, but they can't be shameless.

In fact, in the early stages of the confrontation with Yuan Shao, there were also civil and military officials in Jingzhou who secretly communicated with Yuan, and they were all generals directly under Liu Qi.

But these people have nothing to do with Liu Qi's current actual interests, so Liu Qi does not cause trouble for his own insiders.

It's all in the past, it doesn't matter.

What Jingzhou needs right now is a more united fit, especially at this juncture, cohesion is even more important.

Therefore, Liu Qi is currently targeting only important officials in the imperial court.

Of course, not all of these court officials follow Liu Qi's tactics. There are some very special people who don't know how to adapt.

Of course, Liu Qi's men would not show any mercy to this Shaobo person, and directly tied them up with ropes and took them back to prison for trial.

The guards of the Guards Department are not ordinary people. Not only do they have strong investigation and espionage capabilities, but over the years, Zhang Yun and Xu Shu have also been training them in another set of skills.

That's an interrogation!

These stubborn people who refuse to abandon evil and do good are just used as training for the guards.

…

Five days later, many important ministers gathered in Deyang Hall to discuss important matters of government affairs.

After the deaths of Liu Xie and Wang Yun, the position of emperor has been vacant for a long time. The leaders of the court have become Liu Yu and Yang Biao. Now Liu Qi has returned with his troops, and all government affairs must be implemented through the three of them.

But in fact, the Luoyang court does not have much government affairs now.

Jingzhou and Yizhou are in the hands of Liu Qi, Hebei is in the hands of Yuan Shao, the Central Plains is in the hands of Cao Cao, Chang'an is garrisoned by Wenpin and his troops, and the vast area west of Chang'an is equivalent to being controlled by Liu Qi...

How much trouble could there be in the small area that the central government of the imperial court could govern?

Today is the same, the ministers of the imperial court gathered in the Deyang Palace, and the minister's desk explained many matters one by one to the princes present.

Then everyone will discuss it, and finally it will be resolved by Liu Yu, Yang Biao, Fu Wan, Sima Fang and other front-line ministers.

Originally, Liu Yu hoped that Liu Qi could also participate, but Liu Qi just listened every time without saying a word.

Although Liu Yu was puzzled, he couldn't say much.

Today's court meeting basically did not last long, mainly because there was nothing major to talk about.

After the court meeting, Liu Yu looked at the ministers present and asked with a smile: "My lords, do you have anything else to say?"

Councilor Wu Shuo stood up and said to Liu Yu and Yang Biao: "I have something to report."

Liu Yu stretched out his hand and said, "Wu Yilang, what's the matter with you? Please tell me."

Wu Shuo cleared his throat and said loudly: "The late emperor passed away. There is no master in the court and all the people have no roots. People from all over the world are eagerly looking forward to the new king coming to rule the world. Now it has been a hundred days since the death of the late emperor, and the new king still cannot be found.

Li, if this delay continues, won't the world be in chaos? Please also invite the Taishi, who will have already decided on important matters!"

When Yang Biao heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

He looked at Wu Shuo in disbelief.

How could he dare to advise me privately in the court without consulting me on such a major matter as the establishment of an emperor?

Wu Shuo did not look at Yang Biao, or in other words, he did not look directly at Yang Biao.

He just stood there with a righteous look on his face, without any fear.

General Wu Xiu, the great craftsman, also stepped forward.

"The current situation in the world is in favor of the powerful people, not our dynasty. Yuan Shao's army has just retreated, and it is very likely that it will come back. The world is impoverished, the king's gang is not established, and the throne of the emperor is so empty. What if Yuan Shao or Cao Cao comes from

If the local government chooses a clan relative and forcibly establishes him as emperor, wouldn't it mean that the world is in chaos?"

Taishi ordered Shan Yang to stand up and said loudly: "The former general's virtues are all over the world and his achievements are unparalleled in the world. Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and other traitors were all defeated by the general. Now the person who can save the crisis must be the former general!"

Soon, all the ministers who responded to Shan Yang stood up and shouted loudly: "No one can hold a high position unless he is a former general!"

"It must be the general!"

"If the general does not ascend the throne, the world will be at rest!"

Liu Qi sighed and said helplessly: "Young Masters trust Liu so much, Qi is very grateful, but..."

After a pause, Liu Qi stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Jun Yan is in the hall, and my loving mother's voice remains the same. I cannot bear to abandon my ancestors... I would like to ask you to appoint someone else for the throne."

Tian Fen, the young master, stood up and said: "You are so loyal and filial, and you are willing to give up the throne for the sake of your parents' kindness. Who else in the world can compare with such a benevolent and righteous king?"

Da Sinong Zhang Yi said: "That's right! At this time of year, if we and others still force the former general to abandon his ancestors and inherit the throne of the Han Emperor, how will future generations evaluate us thousands of years later?

Aren’t you doing wrong to the country and committing evil?”

"good!"

"Everything should be about the country!"

"Loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are indeed models for the world!"

Yang Biao originally wanted to stand up and say a few words, but at first glance, he saw that all the ministers were so fierce. And looking around, there were more than 100 ministers in the government and the public who were qualified to participate in politics, and at least more than 70 people stood up.

He strongly demanded that Liu Qi inherit the throne.

This was something that Yang Biao could not have imagined when Liu Qi first entered Beijing.

At that time, the scholars in the imperial court basically supported the Han tradition of the ancestral temple. Everyone was united and could be said to be unanimous in dealing with the outside world.

But look at it now...

With such momentum throughout the court, almost 80% of the ministers and ministers became Liu Qi's ministers.

Moreover, these are only the courtiers who came to the palace to discuss matters today, and there are hundreds of officials who did not come to the palace. What direction are these people currently in?

Yang Biao's face darkened, as if he had the intention to stand up and speak, but before he could move, he found that his sleeve was being pulled.

Ma Rixi grabbed his sleeve behind him.

"What people want...cannot resist the crowd."

Yang Biao smiled bitterly and said: "Is this what people want? Since the incident of beating up the prince's uniform and the Zhongji, these people have all changed. Don't you understand the fishy nature of this?"

"So what if you understand? So what if you don't understand? Things in this court are originally checks and balances. Now he has weighed the scales on his side. You have no weight on your side. How can you follow him with just your mouth?

What about countervailing?”

"Where is Fu Baolang!"

Some ministers were already calling Fu Baolang loudly, as if they wanted him to hand over the jade seal to Liu Qi for safekeeping immediately.

But Liu Qi waved his hand and saluted everyone again and said: "Qi is fully aware of the kindness of all the gentlemen, but Qi is stupid. If he is in charge of the world, he may miss important events, so he must not accept it."

After that, he smiled and walked towards the outside of Deyang Hall.

But the ministers did not let him go, and hurriedly followed him, blocking him and begging Liu Qi to take over the throne.

Liu Yu looked at Liu Qi's back with a smile on his face, and did not pursue him like the other ministers.

Liu He walked up to Liu Yu and asked him in a low voice: "Father, everyone in the court has changed their tune. Why does Boyu still refuse to agree to them?"

"Haha, you don't understand this?" Liu Yu looked at his son helplessly.

Liu He shook his head in confusion.
