"As Sikong said, Your Majesty's words at the end of his life, he wanted to protect the two princes and protect the two princes from being suspicious of the country and the relatives of the outside world." Liu Bei said carefully: "As long as it is good for the country and the family, it is no different from the orphan."

"Does the king have the intention to have a great throne?" Yang Ci asked again.

"There is a difference between relatives and alienation." Liu Bei said: "Although I left the Han Dynasty, I belonged to the side branches. Your Majesty's brothers and children are here, how can it be the turn of King Gu?"

If Your Majesty appointed the Marquis of Hefei, he would be in a position to blame Anguo. This is at the forefront. If King Ji usurped the throne, Dong, He family, current Han royal family, civil and military officials, and even the remaining nine provinces, he would have to attack him. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has not yet subsided, and the disaster has arisen again. The so-called wave has not yet been settled, and the wave has started again. After repeated attempts, the fate of the Han Dynasty will continue. How can the great Han Dynasty continue?

Moreover, in the final analysis, Liu Bei had no intention of usurping the throne.

"In other words, in the king's heart, there is no sure choice for the new emperor." Yang Ci has already realized it.

"That's right." Liu Bei nodded gently.

"If the Marquis of Hefei is the emperor, can the king protect the two princes Zhou Quan?" Yang Ci was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and should be ordered by Your Majesty. Perhaps the old ministers in the court intended to make the Marquis of Hefei the Emperor. What's more, Your Majesty's words of entrusting the orphans at the end of his life have been confirmed by King Ji. The king, the minister, the minister, and the minister, as the minister, should be ordered to do it.

"The responsibility is unavoidable." Liu Bei made a sound.

"The old minister said he would leave." Since he knew that King Ji was willing to do so, Yang Ci had not recovered from illness and could not hold on, so he said he would leave.

"Send to Sikong." Liu Bei stood up to see him off.

Watching Yang Ci leave the hall, Jia Xu said, "When Your Majesty is dead, there are only last words and no last orders. If the Queen is named the Marquis of Hefei as the new emperor, the Queen will not be willing to give up."

Xun You also said: "If the Marquis of Hefei inherits the throne, the Dong family will surely rise. The Marquis of Hefei should be the new queen. Empress He and the relatives of He will inevitably be weakened. One will be defeated, and the defeat is decided, and the general is a butcher, or he may take risks and give it a try."

"The Marquis of Hefei may have children." Liu Bei asked suddenly.

"There are no children." A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and Jia Xu blurted out.

Xun You also knew Liu Bei's intention: "If this is the case, He may have no objection."

Jia Xu said again: "If this matter is done, the empress dowager needs to agree."

Liu Bei followed the advice: "Let's go to Yong'an Palace."

"Here."

The King of Ji drove out of Ergu City. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he walked around the Dongguo and entered Yong'an Palace from the east gate. He met Empress Dowager Dou.

When he knew that King Ji was here in person, the palace gate was wide open. Cheng Huang, the young mansion of Changle, led a group of people and others to go out to greet him.

"Old slave, pay homage to the king."

"I haven't seen you for many years, are you doing well?" Liu Bei asked with his curtain lifted.

"Report to the king, although my old slave's body is getting worse every year, it is still barely available." Cheng Huang smiled.

"That's great." Liu Bei nodded happily.

The car drove into the palace. Cheng Huang followed him trotted all the way. His face was not red and he was not angry. He was strong and healthy, so why should he be old?

He led Liu Bei into the hall again.

"My minister, Liu Bei. Farewell to the Empress Dowager."

"The king asked to get up and give him a seat." Empress Dowager Dou moved out of Nangong Yuntai and lived in Yong'an. She was not under surveillance and imprisonment, but also saw the revival of the Dou family. The atmosphere was new.

"Mrs. Thank you."

When Liu Bei sat down, Empress Dowager Dou asked from behind the curtain: "What's the matter with you here?"

"He came for the new emperor." Liu Bei replied: "Your Majesty asked the orphan to make Hefei Marquis the Emperor on his deathbed. I don't know what the Empress Dowager intended."

"The former emperor had no heir, so he made Your Majesty the emperor. The Marquis of Hefei and His Majesty, his mother, also came out of Hejian. If Your Majesty really had this intention, I would have no objection." Empress Dowager Dou replied.

"If the Marquis of Hefei is appointed as the emperor, the empress and the general will not give up. I heard that the Marquis of Hefei has no descendants, and after he succeeds to the throne, he may be appointed as the eldest son of the emperor." Liu Bei said.

"This is a strategy for both worlds." Empress Dowager Dou said: "In this way, the queen may be able to surrender."

"If the eldest son of the emperor is appointed as the crown prince, the 'Shihou' should not be raised outside the palace, nor in the Changqiu palace." Liu Bei then explained his thoughts: "The Empress Dowager is Your Majesty's legitimate mother and the prince's legitimate grandmother. If he can raise the prince to become a man, it is a blessing for the Han Dynasty."

"The king is considerate." Empress Dowager Dou said from behind the curtain: "'Horse Shi' was nine years old. After ten years, he could grow up and become a man. I will take ten years to do so, and the king thought what."

"I, thank the Queen Mother." Liu Bei bowed and bowed.

When Liu Bei got up, Empress Dowager Dou suddenly asked: "Can the king ascend the throne?"

After the words came out of Empress Dowager Dou's mouth, Liu Bei did not see him. Then he smiled: "Heaven is not with me. If he is forced to do so, he will hurt the harmony of heaven. The chaos is about to settle, and all kinds of troubles are waiting for development. If he still does not know how to be compassionate to the heavens and stop the war, rest and recuperate. He usurped the chaos without authorization, used rash weapons, and even the country will not be preserved. The crime is unforgivable, and God will punish him."

"It is still possible to violate the evil of heaven; it is impossible to destroy the evil of oneself." Empress Dowager Dou sighed: "The king is very wise and it is really a blessing for the country."

Natural disasters and man-made disasters have reduced more than 20 million. The Han Dynasty is like a powerful crossbow, and is already dying. At this time, it is still not cultivated and prolonged its life, so when will it be?

Although Liu Bei had half of the country, nine of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty had not yet been obedient. If he forcibly usurped the throne, the regime would be torn apart. Or he would use the river as the boundary, and Hebei would be completely returned to King Ji, while the land of Henan would become the fish of heroes in the world. How can the people preserve their preservation in the chaotic times? Continuous blood loss, the glory of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years will be gone forever.

The current situation is as Sikong Yang Ci said. The strength is balanced and hindered each other. No matter He or Dong, they are unable to dominate the whole family and show a crushing momentum. In addition, the King of Ji is lying on the side and staring at him. If he is careless, he will lose everything. The brothers are fighting against each other, but instead let outsiders take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

In a nutshell, I can't win and dare not act rashly. So negotiations became the only way out. The three parties compromised and each took the needs. As long as the basic market was maintained, the population would not be reduced, and the King of Ji, who had half of the country, would have the opportunity to usurp the throne.

The reason why Liu Bei asked Empress Dowager Dou to raise the eldest son of the emperor was because the three parties of Hefei Hou, He and Dong were competing with each other and each made a compromise. The Hou of Hefei ascended the throne and became the new emperor, and the Dong family was beneficial. The eldest son of the emperor born to Empress He was the crown prince, and the interests of He family were also protected.

Once the eldest son of the emperor is appointed as the crown prince, for the family, it is equivalent to adopting the eldest son of the emperor to the Marquis of Hefei as the son. Although the queen is the biological mother, it is not suitable to raise it again. It is appropriate to leave it to the legitimate grandmother to raise it on his behalf.

Empress Dowager Dou is alone and stays alone, stays out of the matter, and has no major interests in all parties. She will be able to uphold fairness and abide by justice. She will raise the eldest son to be a human being and give it to Empress Dowager Dou to raise him, so the queen can be at ease.

After chatting with Empress Dowager Dou again, Liu Bei stood up and said goodbye.

Unexpectedly, the carriage was stopped as soon as he left the Yong'an Palace Gate.

"It was Guo Changshi." Liu Bei lifted the curtain and looked at him. The person who blocked the road was the queen's personal follower, and the Central General Attorney Guo Sheng.

"Greetings to the king." Guo Sheng saluted under the window.

"Why did it come from?" Liu Bei asked knowingly.

"The queen has important matters to discuss. Please move to Zhulong Garden." Guo Sheng approached and said.

"In this way, I'll bother Guo Changshi to lead the way." The queen also needs to see her.
