Chapter 337 Death of Liu Xuande.

Chapter 337: Death of Liu Xuande.

"After all, he is still my son, Liu Xuande..."

Liu Bei was stunned for a long time before he began to move.

Looking at the flying snow in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the public security back then...

At that time, it was also snowing heavily.

Liu Wu went to Jiangxia and killed Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi, thus making Jingnan fall completely into Liu Bei's hands...

It was also during that heavy snow,

Liu Wu left.
Left him unexpectedly...

Liu Xuande sighed deeply, and continued to read the imperial edict with mixed feelings, only to find that the third sentence was blacked out...

However, Liu Xuande couldn't wait to read the following content.
[When I was young, I followed my brother and we made an appointment on the Golden Summit, chatting and laughing. ]

[After the Yidaizhao incident happened, he fled to Xudu...]

The past...

Liu Xuande lowered his head and continued to read:
[He started from Xiling and established his own career. Later, he defeated Cao's army in Xiangfan and finally met his brother again. He was named King of Chu.]

Just a few words made Liu Bei unable to bear to look.

During the Battle of Xiling, Liu Bei was fooled several times. Not only did he have to wait in vain when he went to reward his troops, but he was also robbed by the Shanyue in the end.

He fell into Liu Wu's trap and had to defend Jiangling City with great difficulty, fighting to the death against Cao Cao's five best generals. In the end, he was deceived by Wei Yan, who used the banner of Cao's army, and took away Jiangling, which they had managed to defend after suffering heavy casualties.

Not to mention that Liu Wu later designed a fight with Cao Cao in Xiling City, his life was on the line several times, and he was almost tricked into entering Bashu...

What broke his heart the most was that Liu Wu returned to Gong'an with thousands of troops. All the soldiers and officials surrendered to Liu Wu. If it were not for Jiangdong's rescue and Kong Ming's sacrifice, he would have been hacked to death.

After finally settling down in Jiangdong and establishing a new ruler, Liu Wu sent Sun Zhongmou back, so Liu Xuande could only look north in panic and even seek refuge with Cao Mengde...

At that time, Emperor Liu Xie despised him, and Zhao Yun, Jian Yong, and Xu Shu all severed their friendship with him...

Liu Bei took a deep breath and felt that the winter in Chengdu was also bitingly cold.

【At that time, Guanzhong was in rebellion, and the King of Wei was unable to control it. I followed the imperial order of my brother and led the nine armies north to subdue Ma Chao and Han Sui, and Guanzhong was finally pacified.】

[In order to ensure the stability of Guanzhong, I will march west to Liangzhou, sweeping thousands of miles and quelling the century-old Qiang rebellion! ]

[After several years of hard fighting outside the region, they finally recovered the vast Han territory in the Western Regions! ]

A westward expedition, covering thousands of miles, including Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and the Western Regions...

Such a great undertaking required the efforts of several generations, but Liu Wu accomplished it within a few years...

"Even if Guanjun Hou and Ban Dingyuan were combined, they couldn't do this." Liu Xuande commented sincerely, "If Cao Wei, Dongwu, or Bashu could be taken down, his martial arts would be far superior to Guangwu and Hanwu."

[After returning from the expedition, the King of Wei did not dare to fight me and fled to Hebei. The four states of the Central Plains were thus recovered.]

At this point, Liu Xuande felt refreshed!

Cao Mengde, ah Cao Mengde, you have come to this day! !

Qing, Xu, Yu, Yan, the four states of the Central Plains...

Once Liu Wu gained these four states, no one in the world would be able to compete with him.

Because Liu Wu's military strength was already the best in the world, surpassing Cao Mengde.

Now that we have acquired the four states of the Central Plains, our territory has almost doubled...

In the future, even if the troops and population of all other forces in the world were added together, they would actually not be as numerous as Liu Wu's.

From then on, there was no more fighting among the princes.

There are only a few marginal princes who refuse to submit to the imperial court!

[My brother, as promised, first succeeded me to the Han Dynasty, then became the crown prince, and now he has passed on the throne to me.]

[If the emperor orders me to die, I must die. Moreover, my elder brother is like my father. The emperor is the emperor, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, and the son is the son. My brother wants me to be the emperor, and I dare not disobey.]

[From today on, I will inherit the throne, honor my brother as the Supreme Emperor, and name the reign Wude...]

"Reign name: Wude."

"The ruler is the ruler, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, the son is the son..." Liu Bei was already in tears.

What a great saying: ruler is ruler, subject is subject, father is father, son is son.

Liu Wu still had a sense of ethics in his heart and still recognized him as his father. Liu Xuande thought that when he said Liu Xie, the person actually meant his uncle Liu Huangshu.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

Liu Xuande turned around and asked, "Feng'er, what's the matter with the line that was erased on the edict?"

Liu Feng laughed dryly: "Father, you are wrong. The copyist wrote the wrong column, which is why it happened."

"Oh, that's how it is." Liu Xuande replied, "Feng'er, you've been going to Xudu to meet the emperor recently. You must have worked hard. Go back and have a rest."

"It's getting cold, remember to put on more clothes..."

"You are still young, you should take care of your health. Your father is already old, and the huge burden of Ba, Shu, and Nanzhong will all be on your shoulders."

Liu Feng felt warm in his heart and nodded and left.

There was heavy snow in the courtyard, and Liu Xuande was the only one there.

He sat down at the door, holding the imperial edict beside him, and looked up at the clouds falling in the sky...

"Awu, have you really forgiven your father?"

"You have great potential, and you have become the emperor..."

"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty..."

"In your succession edict, you clearly told the world and future generations that you are my, Liu Xuande's, son..." "Huh~"

Liu Bei felt a little cold, so he pulled up his fox fur coat, blew some hot air on his hands, and couldn't help rubbing them a few times.

"Father!"

Turn around,

I saw Adou running out of the room with a chicken leg in his mouth.

Liu Xuande looked at this scene in a daze.

"picture……"

"They are quite similar..."

Back then in Zhang Fei's Taoyuan, he became sworn brothers with Yun Chang Yide. At that time, Liu Wu also held a chicken leg in his mouth and shared it with them. He was also about ten years old.

However, while Ah Dou is now living a life of luxury, Ah Wu was originally in rags...

"Adou, come here." Liu Bei waved his hand and asked, "If you were to go back to the past, would you still compete with your elder brother for the position of crown prince?"

Liu Chan took two bites of the chicken legs, looking confused. He didn't know what to do and didn't know how to answer.

Mrs. Mi beside her couldn't help but speak up: "My husband, when did Ah Dou ever compete with Ah Wu for the position of Crown Prince?"

"Back then, you made Ah Dou the crown prince with just one word."

"Now, it was you who took away Adou's position as the crown prince and established Liu Feng..."

"When did Liu Feng fight for the position of Crown Prince?"

"Adou is only in his teens now. He was only six or seven years old back then. Father, how can a child of six or seven years old compete for the throne with Awu, who had fought for many years?"

Liu Xuande was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Yes,

From the beginning to the end, he did it on his own will. He looked down on his former self and hated the hungry Liu Xuande who weaved mats and sold shoes.

Those days came to an end when I met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Liu Wu was his son and a rare helper. As time went by, Liu Xuande felt more and more disgusted every time he saw Liu Wu. He had already commanded the army and fought for supremacy in the Central Plains, but Liu Wu always reminded him of his poor past, when he had to weave mats and sell shoes...

In other words, this eldest son who has always been by his side is the only one who has truly witnessed his incompetence and humility.

Many times when he couldn't even afford to eat, Liu Wu would steal food.

Liu Xuande ate the leftovers that Liu Wu begged for with great relish.

There was only one steamed corn bread that day. Liu Bei ate most of it, Liu Wu ate the rest, and Liu Wu's mother didn't eat anything, so she starved to death.

"Hahahahahahahaha..." Liu Xuande shook his head and laughed in the wind and snow.

At this time,

Ah Dou suddenly lay down and said, "Father, this place was painted by Liu Feng. I was right beside him in Xudu at the time, but he didn't let me interfere with his work."

Liu Xuande turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

"Adou, do you know the column that was erased in the edict?!"

Liu Adou nodded: "Of course I know. The imperial edict was announced to the whole world. It was posted all over the capital of Xu..."

Liu Xuande hurried forward and asked: "What is written in the column that Liu Feng erased?"

Adou's face looked bad...

He curled his lips and said angrily, "It was Liu Wu who scolded us... After the Red Cliff, Liu Xuande made the seven-year-old Liu Adou the crown prince and forced me to recognize Liu Adou as my master. I couldn't stand it, so I fled to Gong'an alone..."

"Asshole!" Liu Xuande jumped up and threw Ah Dou to the ground in the snow. "At such a young age, who did you learn these lies from?!"

"How can the accession edict be written like this?!"

Ah Dou's butt hurt from falling in the snow, so he rolled on the ground and said, "Let Liu Feng come!"

"Let Liu Feng come back!!"

"He is the fake one, everything I said is true!"

At this time, Liu Bei had gone mad, and did not allow anyone to pass on the message. He braved the heavy snow to look for Liu Feng alone...

In a moment,

Liu Feng had just returned from the stables and had not yet had time to return to his room when Liu Bei ran into him...

"Father……"

Canglanglang! ~
The long sword was unsheathed and pressed on Liu Feng's shoulder: "You erased the part of the imperial edict. What was written on it originally?"

"I didn't, Father really didn't!"

"After the Battle of Red Cliff, Liu Xuande made his seven-year-old son Liu Adou the crown prince and forced me to recognize Liu Adou as my master. I could not tolerate this, so I fled to Gong'an alone..."

Liu Feng was stunned...

"Tell me, father, that this is not true..."

Liu Feng wanted to open his mouth, but found that he couldn't open it at all, and tears burst out of his eyes.

Flutter! ~
The prince knelt in the snow, sobbing...

Snapped! ~
The sword fell to the ground.

A drop of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, soaking the fox fur, and continued to drip down...

Liu Xuande fell down forever in the heavy snow.
