There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Xu Chu turned his head to look at Mason and his children, and said with a laugh: "Mr. Xuande, in this time of great chaos, you are not loyal to the Han Dynasty and wiped out the rebels, but you are here to embarrass an old eunuch. Have you taken a ride?"

Liu Bei frowned, and said: "What is General Xu talking about? Do you know who is the person in the arms of this Zhongchang Attendant? This matter is related to the Han Dynasty, so we must investigate carefully!"

When the words fell, the soldiers and horses from the rear of the Xuzhou Army had also arrived, and the pottery merchant led Zang Ba and Xu Rong to the front.

When Ma Song saw the potter, his heart sank immediately.

He stepped forward excitedly, and tremblingly said to the pottery merchant, "Teacher! This old slave finally found you!"

The potter turned over and looked up and down at Mason, who was covered in dirt and tired. He was very moved.

Although this man is a eunuch, he also accepted a lot of money and bribes on weekdays, but at the critical moment, he still fulfilled his due responsibilities as a courtier. is admirable.

Among the eunuchs, there are also good and bad people, and they cannot be compared uniformly.

Chapter 537 There Are Two Days in the Sky

The pottery merchant was emotional for a moment, walked up to Mason, took Liu Xi from his arms, and said solemnly: "I have met Tao Guiren, although she is unconscious now, but through some details, I can roughly Guessing the ins and outs of the matter, Ah Weng has worked so hard, leave the future to me."

Ma Xun was completely relaxed at this moment. After handing Liu Xi into the hand of the potter, his whole body suddenly seemed to be limp, and he actually sat down on the rainy ground with a thud.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurried forward and said, "Teacher, you must not take this child away!"

"No?"

The pottery merchant turned his head, as if he had just seen Liu Bei: "So Mr. Xuande is here too? What do you mean by that? Tao doesn't quite understand...what do you mean I can't take this child away? He is my nephew." .”

When the words fell, Xu Chu, Xu Rong, Zang Ba and others stood forward at the same time.

Liu Bei cautiously looked at the covetous generals beside the Tao merchant, hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Master Tao, Your Majesty has passed away, do you know?"

The potter's body flickered, and he almost didn't hold the baby in his hand, and almost threw him to the ground.

"What do you mean?"

Liu Bei took a deep breath, and then succinctly described the death of Liu Xie to the pottery merchant.

Tao Shang was dumbfounded, and looked at Liu Bei in disbelief. Taking advantage of the rising sun that had begun to rise after the rain stopped, he carefully discerned the expression on his face, and looked for Liu Bei's lies in the details of every part. possibility.

But the facts disappointed him. Obviously, according to the potter's observation, Liu Bei did not lie.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was so bold!

He knew that in the current situation, for him, hijacking the emperor was far more beneficial to him than killing the emperor, so he actually dared to do it!

The pottery merchant took a deep breath, tightened his hand holding the child, and said after a while: "Since such a shocking event has happened, why don't Mr. Xuande rush to recover the emperor's body? What are you still delaying here?"

Liu Bei's face remained unchanged, he just stared deeply at the potter, and after a long silence, he said: "It is precisely because of His Majesty's great conduct, today's family affairs are very important, and it is related to the future prosperity of the big man. So the eldest son, Xi, must be brought back!"

The potter was delighted.

What a joke.

"Mr. Xuande, let alone whether you can take the prince away from Tao's hands, but just say that if I bring the prince back to you now, I will definitely be killed by the traitors around His Majesty! If you know something , get out quickly, lest the prince won’t be able to take you away, I’ll leave you behind later!”

"Traitor?" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard the words, then anger appeared on his face, and he said, "Teacher, don't criticize Sang Huai, even if Bei is not a gentleman, he is definitely not a thief who can harm your majesty's bequeathed son." You guys, when will you compare me with Dong Zhuo's thief."

The Tao merchant stared at Liu Bei's angry face, and smiled: "Mr. Xuande misunderstood, the person Tao is referring to is not you, but it is not convenient for me to say who it is, but tell Xuande the truth, Tao Just now when I attacked the Wuhuan cavalry and entered the city, I happened to meet Tao Guiren who was about to commit suicide. Fortunately, I rescued her, and besides Tao Guiren, the only people left in the Deyang Palace are eunuchs and court ladies , and the relatives of the Son of Heaven are no longer in the palace, and now the eldest son Xi is also in the hands of Ma Xun, Mr. Xuande, you are not stupid, you must not understand this middle matter, right?"

Liu Bei was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered that when he met Fu Wan just now, when he asked Fu Wan Tao Guiren and the prince where he was, Fu Wan's timid and trembling appearance, Liu Bei was a little suspicious at that time, and many things now Once combined, it just confirmed what he thought.

What Tao Shang said was right, if this man was taken back by him now, he would be killed by Dong Cheng the next day.

And behind the pottery merchant, Xu Chu, Xu Rong, Zang Ba and others were staring at him, and the Xuzhou army was also full of murderous intent, and he himself was strong enough to take the prince away from him.

After figuring this out, Liu Bei immediately asked the potter another question: "Although the matter of His Majesty's death has been told by Dong Cheng, I think it is not bad... It is related to the succession of the great power in the future. What do you think Fu?"

The idea in Tao Shang's mind is actually very simple, that is, to send troops to catch up with Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, capture them together with Fu Hou and the second prince Liu Qiong, and then make his nephew emperor in Pengcheng.

However, there were not many soldiers and horses rescued by our side, and most of them were fighting Wuhuan cavalry. They must have already planned the escape route after they fell down. It is unrealistic to chase Prince Qiong now. .

Therefore, regarding the issue of heirs, there is only one thing the potter can do.

"Your Majesty passed away and did not issue a will. Tao, as the current Tai Tuo, led the Shangshutai to record the affairs of the Shangshu, and supported the eldest son to inherit the Datong. It is his duty to do so."

Liu Bei's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty has a second son. It would be too arbitrary for the Taifu to support a new monarch without discussing with the ministers! Don't forget, Your Majesty also has a second son!"

"Arbitrary?" The pottery merchant chuckled and said, "Even if I go to discuss this matter with them, I'm afraid I will get a different result. If there is no accident, the hearts of Fu Guozhang and Dong Guoshu have already Let’s decide on the new monarch.”

Liu Bei knew that such a problem would arise.

The potter wants to establish the eldest son Liu Xi...and Fu Wan must establish the second son Liu Qiong.

In this way, wouldn't this world...

An angry look appeared on Liu Bei's face, and he said, "How can there be two days in this world! How can there be two masters in this world?"

The pottery merchant chuckled, and said: "Mr. Xuande, what you said is wrong. There is only one emperor in this world, and that is the eldest son Xi. As for the others, they are all fakes. If someone really dares to commit such a treasonous act the next day... Tao can only send troops to fight for rebellion, so as to get rid of his disobedience."

Liu Bei's body was a little weak, and his head was like thunder.

"Tao Taifu, is there really no other solution to this matter?"

Tao Shang looked down at his nephew Liu Xi in his arms, and that chubby little face was reflected in his eyes, looking very cute.

Thinking about the tragic situation of his own sister just now, the potter's determination was further strengthened.

The pottery merchant took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Xuande, there are other solutions, please point me to one! Tao is willing to listen to my teachings."

Liu Bei was suddenly speechless.

Seeing that Liu Bei had nothing to say, the potter immediately stood up and said, "Since Mr. Xuande can't say anything, I will take my leave. The eldest son is young and stayed outside all night. I'm afraid it's because of his weak health, and for the sake of the emperor's eldest son, Tao will leave first, and Mr. Laoxuande will go to recover the emperor's body and carry out the burial, and Tao will write a book for public discussion in the future."

After all, the pottery merchant sent someone to help Mason up, and ordered Xu Chu to closely monitor Liu Bei's movements, and then slowly retreated with his eldest son Liu Xi.

Chapter 538 Two Heroes Join Forces

The emperor died, and the two princes were taken away by two forces. The world of the big man is about to become a situation where two days coexist.

According to the analysis of the potter, Liu Bei is likely to follow Fu Wan and Dong Cheng in the end after such a big event, and go to which force to go to support Liu Xie's second son Liu Qiong with them.

And if the potters support Liu Xi in Xuzhou, there is no doubt that from now on, there will be two emperors in the world, and these two emperors will regard themselves as orthodox, and vow to wipe out their opponents without end.

It is an irreconcilable opposition that cannot be resolved.

Therefore, the Tao merchant now has the intention to kill Liu Bei here, so as to save him from mixing with Fu Wan and others in the future to cause trouble for himself.
