At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Because of the funeral for Liu Hong, Liu Zhang repeatedly delayed the selection of the new monarch, which was supposed to be discussed in Changle Palace three days later, and now seven days have passed.

As Liu Hong is an emperor, it is reasonable to say that the burial is very complicated and has many etiquettes. However, it is a troubled time right now. After discussing with Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He, Liu Zhang finally added the posthumous title of Hanling Emperor, and the burial went smoothly.

Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He originally had some opinions. After all, Liu Hong is the king of a country. Their son and husband, but due to Liu Zhang's current power and Liu Zhang's absolute right to say who will succeed him, they all chose come to compromise.

Fortunately, although Liu Hong's funeral was speeded up, it was still extremely beautiful. No matter the queen mother, empress, ministers, or even Liu Yun, they did not express any dissatisfaction.

With the burial of Liu Hong, the era belonging to Emperor Ling of Han officially came to an end, and this also means that the era of disputes in the Han Dynasty and the era of contending for hegemony officially began!

At the west gate of Luoyang City, Liu Zhang took everyone under his command to bid farewell to his wife and his family members to Hanzhong.

"Yan'er, Yun'er, take care!"

After a simple farewell, everyone set off. Liu Zhang is about to enter the palace, and many ministers have already approached Liu Zhang, asking him to start discussing the matter of the new king today.

"Gongda, is everything arranged properly?"

The safety of these family members is of great importance, not only his own wife, but also Huang Zhong's wife, son, Xu Huang's mother, and even Xun You's family!

"My lord, don't worry, nothing will go wrong! They are escorted by 2,000 cavalrymen from the Wufeng Battalion. These cavalrymen are all veterans who have followed us in our conquests. Even if there is no Ziyi, they can form a chariot formation to fight against the enemy by themselves! And I have sent people to hurry up." Ma notified Wenhe in Hanzhong in advance, and believed that when the mistresses arrived in Xiegu, someone would already be there to meet them!"

Liu Zhang nodded. In fact, he had a lot of confidence in Xun You and Liu Zhang, but at this moment, he still couldn't help asking.

The route was negotiated by Liu Zhang and Xun You.

The best route is definitely Chencang Road. Although the distance is a bit far, the road is flat and the cavalry can pass unimpeded! It's a pity that this road is occupied by Han Sui. Liu Zhang doesn't know whether Han Sui has withdrawn his troops, so naturally he won't let his family take this risk!

As for Tangluo Road and Ziwu Road, Liu Zhang didn't think about it directly. Ziwu Valley is rugged and dangerous, and there are too many variables for these female relatives to go inside! Not to mention the Tangluo Road, there are no roads in many places, and cavalry can't enter this road at all!

In the end, there was only one Bao ramp left. In fact, the Bao ramp was not conducive to the passage of cavalry. Fortunately, there were not many people. With Jia Xu sending people to greet them, naturally there would be no problems.

"Let's go, let's enter the palace!"

Liu Zhang had just walked a few steps before looking at Zhao Yun and the others behind him.

"Zilong, you and Elai led five hundred soldiers to follow me and Gongda into the palace, Ziyi, you go back to the camp."

After making these arrangements, most of Liu Zhang's troops split into two and headed in two directions.

Luoyang Palace, Changle Palace, although Liu Zhang has not arrived, but the officials have already started to discuss.

Empress Dowager He led Liu Bian, and Empress Dowager Dong led Liu Xie. The throne in the middle had been vacated, and the two empress dowagers sat on both sides.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, a family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day! Now that the former emperor has been buried, the new emperor's ascension to the throne is the top priority! A day without a monarch in a country will make the world uneasy, and the people will be uneasy! "

The first to stand up was Situ Yuanfeng. In the past three years without Liu Zhang, Yuan Feng also successfully ascended to the position of Sangong! In addition to the current Taifu Yuan Wei, the Yuan family has already occupied two places in the Sangong!

Ever since Liu Hong was buried, Empress He was also promoted from empress to empress dowager. Looking at the empty throne in the middle, she felt anxious, wishing that her son Liu Bian would sit on the throne right away!

"Master Yuan, General Wei has never said anything about the late emperor's edict, and the Ai family can only be secretly anxious!"

Yuan Feng bowed his hands to Empress Dowager He again, and he wanted to take advantage of Liu Zhang's absence to unify the opinions of Empress Dowager He and all the ministers!

"I report to the Empress Dowager that the First Prince Liu Bian is a virtuous and resourceful man, and he is His Majesty's eldest son. The late Emperor often praised him when he was here! The old minister thought that the First Prince's succession to the throne is in accordance with the destiny!"

Empress He became visibly excited when she heard these words, and even her breathing became short of breath!

"Oh? Lord Yuan really deserves to be a pillar of the Han Dynasty. No wonder the late emperor often praised Lord Yuan! I don't know what other adults think?"

"Reporting to the prefect, the veteran also feels that the eldest prince Liu Bian's succession to the throne is the destiny above, and the people's will below!"

Empress Dowager He was overjoyed again, Taiwei Yuan Wei also stood up and openly supported Liu Bian!

If there are two supporters among the three ministers, then there is almost no problem with this matter!

Sure enough, following the statement of the two leaders of the Yuan family, many ministers expressed their agreement one after another, seeing that Liu Bian's succession was about to be unanimously approved!

Empress He was already beaming with joy, but she was still a little annoyed! Fortunately, Liu Zhang was not allowed to take advantage. With so many ministers supporting him, is there any need to worry about Liu Zhang?

Some people were happy and some were sad. Empress He was very excited, but Empress Dowager Dong was extremely uncomfortable, and even her face was extremely gloomy!

Liu Xie was brought up by Empress Dowager Dong, and his love for this grandson is obviously far more than that of Liu Bian! The most important thing is that Empress Dowager Dong is very disgusted with her daughter-in-law, Empress Dowager He, especially after Empress Dowager He poisoned Wang Meiren.

There are many reasons why Liu Hong became more and more alienated and even disgusted with Empress He at that time, but it is absolutely inseparable from the instigation of Empress Dowager Dong!

All the officials supported Liu Bian so unanimously, which made Empress Dowager Dong feel sad! If Liu Bian succeeds to the throne, the power of her daughter-in-law is bound to rise, so one can imagine the status of their grandfather and grandson!

Just when the voices were unanimous, someone finally stood up and openly raised objections.

"I don't think the eldest prince is suitable to inherit the throne!"

This person who is not afraid of the Yuan family is none other than General Dong Zhuo, the Polu General!

As for why Dong Zhuo dared to blatantly disagree with the officials, it was naturally because of Li Ru's persuasion to him, and with the arrival of Li Jue and Guo Si, the 50,000 soldiers and horses made him the strongest force in Luoyang !

Li Ru's earnest words yesterday are still echoing in Dong Zhuo's ears until now!

"My lord, we are from a powerful family in Liangzhou. Even if we gain power by force, it is difficult to get the approval of the officials, let alone prestige! If the lord wants to gain prestige quickly, we must do what Yiyin Huoguang did!"

"Ru predicts that tomorrow all the ministers will definitely support Liu Bian as the eldest son to inherit the throne. If the lord wants to gain power and establish prestige, he must openly oppose it and then support the second prince Liu Xie! Once Liu Xie succeeds, then The lord is the great merit of standing up!"

It was Li Ru's words that gave Dong Zhuo the courage to openly confront Yuan in the main hall of Yongle Palace!

"You? You, a little Polu general, dare to talk about state affairs here!"
