The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"died?"

"Jiang Wei is dead?"

"Are you sure Jiang Wei is dead?"

After this news came out of the prison, all parties were stunned.

Zhang Liang scratched his head all night, still unable to understand what kind of mentality Liu Shan had that would lead him to make such a foolish decision as killing Jiang Wei, given that there was no one else capable in Shu!

Jiao Bo was equally bewildered.

During the day, Zhang Liang was responsible for disguising himself as a guard to keep watch over the palace, while at night he was in charge of the night watch so that he could respond to any situation at any time.

But what happened tonight really left him at a loss for how to deal with it.

Even now, Jiao Bo still hasn't been able to react.

What kind of mentality led the emperor of the Han Dynasty to silently kill his own famous general in prison?

Was it really Liu Shan's decision?

After countless moments of questioning his existence, Zhang Liang began to doubt the veracity of the news.

Although Liu Shan was listed on the list of tyrannical rulers by the immortals, surely no one with a sound mind should be able to make such a decision?

This wasn't like cutting off one's own arm; it was like breaking both legs while surrounded by wolves.

And this news had not been suppressed; on the contrary, it had already spread during the time that Jiao Bo returned.

In other words, in Liu Bang's eyes, Liu Shan was like someone suddenly breaking his own legs and then asking Liu Bang if he was afraid.

Is this something a human being could do?

And if Jiang Wei dies, what will happen to Liu Chen?

"What should we do? Should this old servant step in to protect Liu Chen?"

Liu Chen and Jiang Wei were in the same boat. Now that Jiang Wei is dead, it means that Liu Chen is also in danger.

At the very least, they've lost their support.

If even Jiang Wei could be killed, then Liu Chen, the King of Beidi, is probably not as safe as one might imagine.

"...If we step in now, the outcome is still uncertain, and there is a high possibility of danger."

Zhang Liang was also somewhat unsure of what to do.

At this time, they did not know that all of this was Huang Hao's doing. After all, neither Zhang Liang nor Jiao Bo had ever imagined that a eunuch could have such audacity and power.

In their view, this was what Liu Shan did.

But if that's the case, then all of Zhang Liang's previous evaluations of Liu Shan would have to be overturned and rewritten.

Anyone who can do something like that isn't a normal person at all; they're a madman!

Zhang Liang was almost always able to strategize effectively against normal opponents.

But when facing a madman, it's really hard for him to control his opponent's thoughts.

"My opinion is to take direct action."

“If he is crazy, then we cannot judge him by common sense. We don’t need to gamble our lives and our great situation with a madman.”

"If he's not crazy, then it can only mean that the situation inside Sichuan is far more complicated than we thought!"

Regardless of the possibility, the Han dynasty was most likely an incapable ruler.

Zhang Liang disliked the feeling of things being out of his control, and now he had one last chance to bring everything back under control.

Wen Yang was recalled, and a surprise attack was launched overnight!

Jiang Wei was secretly executed. Tonight, they will seize the capital. With the news spread tomorrow, the Han army will surely be thrown into chaos.

When the time comes, with the help of Liu Bang's three armies, we can regain control of the capital without breaking a sweat!

"But wouldn't that contradict His Majesty's original plan?"

"How about I give it a try?"

"As His Majesty's envoy, even if we fail, the two armies do not kill envoys in battle, so there should not be too much loss. We can still take action then."

After a brief moment of hesitation, Jiao Bo still shook his head and made the suggestion.

He knew, of course, that with Wen Yang's courage, they could regain control of the situation simply by taking action.

However, this would contradict His Majesty's original instructions.

Although Jiao Bo did not understand why His Majesty would consider returning the throne to the Han Dynasty.

But since His Majesty thinks this way, he must strive to achieve this goal.

Even if it's just to try and get one more opportunity.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Eunuch Jiao."

"But you must be extremely careful on this trip. If the Han Emperor shows the slightest sign of ill will, you should truthfully tell him about the three thousand soldiers lying in ambush in the city. This is a blatant threat to him!"

“Even if we are exposed, it won’t be a big problem. With Wen Yang here, whether they know about the existence of these three thousand soldiers is not that important. On the contrary, this matter can ensure your safety.”

"Eunuch Jiao, remember this!"

After some thought, Zhang Liang nodded.

He understood Liu Bang's ulterior motives even better, and knew his deep-seated obsession.

Since Jiao Bo is willing to try, there is naturally no need for him to stop him.

With three thousand soldiers and Wen Yang, the most formidable general of our time, a mere threat would be enough to guarantee Jiao Bo's safety.

"This old servant has a worthless life, but if it can help His Majesty complete his plans, then even dying ten thousand times would be worthwhile."

"My lord, there is no need to worry about my safety. But if possible, please advise me on how to negotiate with the Emperor of Han. Should I directly state that His Majesty intends to return the throne to Han?"

Jiao Bo was completely unconcerned about his own safety.

Just as he has always said, and as the saying goes.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

From beginning to end, he was not afraid of death, nor was it for the title of marquis that Liu Bang had initially promised him.

The reason he was loyal to Liu Bang was simply because Liu Bang treated him as a human being and gave him enough respect.

Therefore, he appeared more fearless than others.

"Just say that His Majesty wants to return the throne to Liu Chen, and Liu Shan will abdicate willingly!"

“Promise him that if he is willing to abdicate, he will be honored as the Retired Emperor and the entire Shu region will be given to him as a fief!”

Jiao Bo: "?"

I can understand honoring him as the Retired Emperor.

What kind of operation is it to grant land to the retired emperor?

Seeing his puzzled look, Zhang Liang simply smiled and explained.

"The Shu region has been in his hands for far too long, and the edict of Liu Chen's ascension to the throne has not yet reached Shu. In the short term, the gentry and common people of Shu will likely only recognize Liu Shan."

"If we force Liu Chen to govern Shu on his own, his prestige is still somewhat lacking, and some trouble may arise in the short term."

"Understood!"

While it was said that he was being granted the title of Emperor Emeritus and given a fiefdom, in reality, he was simply passing the buck.

Jiao Bo admired Zhang Liang to the extreme.

Despite it being a sudden event, they were able to come up with an extremely perfect response in a very short time!

No wonder His Majesty kept him in charge of this matter!

"Then tomorrow, no, tonight!"

"Tonight, this old servant will enter the palace and explain everything to the Han Emperor!"

"This old servant will certainly do his utmost to not disappoint you, sir, nor His Majesty!"

After leaving these words, Jiao Bo vowed to do his best to contribute.

Not only to repay His Majesty, but also to let everyone know that His Majesty made the right choice in keeping him in the capital!
