Chapter 11 executed
Liu Qifu.
"Qing'er, come and help me rub my shoulders." Liu Qi said vaguely while eating the fruit. After a few days of cultivation, the bruises on Liu Qi's chest have gradually subsided, but she can't do strenuous exercise yet, and it's okay to walk for a short time. Because he was annoyed by staying in the house, he came out to put fruit in the garden and ate it while talking nonsense with Qinger and Wan'er. Liu Qi also asked people to build tables, chairs and benches according to his drawings, so that playing in the garden is not tiring at all.
"Young master, didn't you just rub it? Why do you let it rub now?" Qing'er muttered red.
"You didn't have time to rub your shoulders when you were fighting just now!" Liu Qi said with a black face.
"You also said, if it weren't for you and me, how would I be like that? The bad young master would know how to bully people. Sister Wan'er, you see, the young master is going to bully people again." Qing'er took Wan'er's hand and pouted.
"I didn't see it." After saying that, Wan'er turned her head and deliberately didn't look at her.
"Sister Wan'er, you..." Qing'er pointed to Wan'er and couldn't say anything.
"Hahaha..." Liu Qi laughed.
"Ha ha ha..." Wan'er also covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
"You... You guys laughed at me together. I won't pay attention to you two anymore." After saying that, Qinger muttered and turned her head and stopped looking at Liu Qi.
"Okay, okay... It's the young master's fault. Don't blame Qinger." Liu Qi saw that Qing'er was really angry and hurried forward to coax her. After that, he whispered a few words in Qing'er's ear.
Qing'er looked at Wan'er and said to Liu Qi, "Then don't lie to me again." Of course, young master, what I said must count. Liu Qi patted his chest and said.
"Ouch." Liu Qi patted and patted, and suddenly one hand held his chest and shouted.
Qing'er hurried forward to help Liu Qi and asked, "Young master, what's wrong with you?"
Wan'er heard Liu Qi shouting and thought that his chest condition had worsened, so she quickly ran forward to check.
Qing'er glanced at Wan'er running over, walked quietly to the other side of Liu Qi, and squeezed her eyes at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi turned around and took a step forward, and Wan'er, who rushed over, couldn't avoid bumping into him.
"Ouch." When Wan'er was about to get up, Liu Qi took the opportunity to hug Wan'er.
Wan'er's personality struggled gently for a while. Seeing that it was useless for Liu Qi to hold her, her face was so red that she couldn't be red any more. Liu Qi looked down at Wan'er and couldn't help kissing her.
"Ha ha ha... Brother is really blessed!" At this time, Liu Pan and Liu Xiu came in from the outside.
Liu Qi scolded that it was not the right time for the two to come, and they were reluctant to let Wan'er go. Wan'er was released and said with a red face, "I'll pour tea." After saying that, he ran away with a red face.
"What are you two guys doing here again, disturbing my good deeds?" Liu Qi scolded with a smile. He asked the two of them to sit down.
"Hehehe... Brother, don't blame me, we really have something to do here." Liu said with a smile.
"Say it, what's the matter." Liu Qi didn't make things difficult for them when he saw that they had something to do.
"Brother, I heard that Zhang Yue's brother Zhang Yi brought more than a dozen cars of property from Changsha to save his younger brother and gave generous gifts to all the officials of Xiangyang. I expect them to plead for Zhang Yue in front of their father, and I don't know who will spread the news. Now the whole city of Xiangyang is talking about this matter, and the people are dissatisfied with this matter. Now the crowd is passionate. I think who can save Zhang Yue? This time, Zhang Yi can't steal chickens and eat rice. Liu Xiu was obviously in a happy mood.
"That's right, that Zhang Yi is not a good thing. His brother didn't apologize for doing something wrong, and he also wanted to save his brother. It's simply a delusion." Liu Pan said fiercely.
"His brother was arrested because of me. His family has become an enemy with me. It's not my fault. There is no reason to apologize to the enemy." Liu Qi said with a gloomy face. Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Liu Qi's first reaction was 'someone framed him'. It's a coincidence that I didn't finish it for a long time, but I waited for Zhang Yi to send all the gifts before saying it. Who is most suspected of spreading this news? Of course, it is Liu Qi, who has a grudge against Zhang Yue. Didn't this offend all the officials of all sizes in Xiangyang? You said that Zhang Yi's gift-giving is bribery, so aren't these officials accepting gifts just accepting bribes? Whoever wanted to go out was pointed at by people and said, "Do you see it? It's that he received the gift of whoever and let him go." However, the law does not blame the public. If there are more people, it will be safe. Even if it is spread out, no one will care.
Liu Qi looked at Liu Pan and asked, "Have you read a book in the past two days?"
"Uh, no. Brother, you know that I'm not interested in books. Liu Pan said depressedly.
"Who is born to like reading? Force alone is just courage. You can't lead good soldiers to fight a good battle. I don't ask you to read so many books every day. But you have to read every day. Do you think Xiang Yu and Lv Bu are good at martial arts? But they couldn't escape death in the end. Is Han Xin's martial arts skills high? But won't it still unify millions of troops? If you want to be a general, read honestly and fight. Do you want to be Han Xin or Xiang Yu? Go back and think about it yourself. Liu Qi said with a gloomy face.
..................
General Zhennan Mansion, Liu Biao has just finished his meal and is reading in the study. As one of the "Eight Juns", Liu Biao never put down his book even if he became the herdsman of the state, and took a certain amount of time to read every day. Before going to bed at night, it is one of the periods taken by Liu Biao. Today, he is reading the Analects of Confucius. Although he has read it countless times, he has a different perception every time he reads it.
The rapid footsteps of "dagger" sounded from outside the door, destroying Liu Biao's interest, because something important probably happened, otherwise no one would dare to disturb himself at this time.
"Your Excellency, Wang Wei, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, has something urgent to see." There was a gasp from outside the door, obviously because of the fast walking.
"Sure enough." Liu Biao thought to himself that at the same time, his heart was also a little heavy. Wang Wei was forty-eight years old this year. He was cautious and had the style of a general. He was a rare general in Xiangyang, so Liu Biao gave him the public security of Xiangyang, and even he could not handle it well, which showed the seriousness of the matter.
"Let him in." Liu Biao put down the book and shouted outside.
In a while, I saw a veteran in his nearly fifties pushing the door in. His thick armor was like a mountain, making a thud sound while walking, and he looked as calm as a mountain.
"See you at the end." Wang Wei bowed and saluted like a bell.
"Get up, why did the general come to me so late?" Liu asked.
"Your Excellency, there are rumors in the city today that Zhang Yue's brother Zhang Yi brought more than a dozen cars of property from Changsha and sent generous gifts to all officials, large and small in Xiangyang City, hoping to save his brother Zhang Yue. The people were afraid that Zhang Yue would be released and ran to tell each other. Now the streets and alleys of Xiangyang City are talking about this matter. I'm afraid that it will cause trouble. Come and report it. Please make a final determination. Wang Weidao.
Liu Biao did not say anything, but looked down at the open book on the desk. The sentence in the middle of the book was "the mouth of the people is more than the defense of Sichuan". Liu Biao just saw this sentence and was disturbed. He wouldn't think that things were so simple, otherwise he wouldn't have the ability to be the herdsman of this state.
Liu Biao has not thought about the issue of establishing an heir, but has been thinking about it. He has three sons, and the conduct of the three sons is naturally very well understood. Liu Xiu is too young to think about it. The eldest son Liu Qi looks like him, and he has liked him very much since he was a child, but he is too cowardly. He knows his personality, but he is old and doesn't want to fight again, but he doesn't want his son to be like him. This Jingzhou seems to be calm, but in fact, the waves are turbulent. If Liu Qi passes the position, not to mention whether he can hold this territory, it is a problem to sit firmly in this position.
He sat in this position and is also the help of the family. The Cai family, Zhang, the Huang family and the Pang family, the four major families in Jingzhou, are deeply rooted and married to each other in Jingzhou. At the beginning, it was impossible for him to successfully pacify Jingzhou without the support of the Cai family. Now although there is only one Zhang Yun in the Zhang family, which seems weak, but the Kai family has developed. Come on. His support for the Kwa clan over the years is to check and balance the Jingzhou family, but it is also a check and balance. It can be said that the family controls half of Jingzhou's country.
If Liu Qi succeeds to the throne according to his cowardly character, Jingzhou will not be divided up by the family. That's why he alienated Liu Qi and intended to let Liu Cen succeed to the throne without causing fratricacy.
Liu Cong has been smart and smart since he was a child. He can do everything. His mother comes from the Cai family. After succeeding to the throne, he has the support of the Cai family, which can be worry-free. And other families will not sit and watch the Cai family dominant, and will definitely unite against the Cai family, leaving Liu Cong with room for cushioning. At least he can sit firmly in this seat, but Liu Zeng's personality is not as open-minded as Liu Qi. He is narrow-minded, close to the family, and regards the people as nothing. It is easy to make some disasters in the future. It is Liu Biao who did not express his position for a long time.
The news from Wang Wei undoubtedly told him that Liu Qi wanted to kill Zhang Yue. This news easily reminded people of Liu Qi. Without Liu Qi, who would have distributed this message at this time?
Cai Mao has no reason to put Zhang Yue to death, and the forces attached to him will not disturb the situation at this time. No one else will come to this muddy water, because it not only offends Cai Mao but also offends Liu Biao. Liu Qi is the only one left, because even if Liu Qi does this, no one will say anything. Liu Biao took a deep breath and felt that if Liu Qi's injury was not in vain this time, it would be a blessing for him to be enlightened.
"In the name of General Zhennan's Mansion, you issued a notice, saying that Zhang Yue's eyes are undisciplined and bold, and the crime cannot be sentenced to death, and will be executed three days later." Liubiao was in a good mood, and one sentence determined Zhang Yue's fate.
Wang Wei was shocked. After this notice was issued, Zhang Yue's fate was over. There was still room to return before, but now no one can save him. However, this has nothing to do with him. He has no friendship with Zhang Xian. Zhang Yue has also heard of it. He can only say that he deserves to die. It's just that this involves another thing, and he has to remind.
"Your Excellency, it will be your birthday in three days. Do you want to postpone it a little more?" Wang Wei reminded.
"Oh, is it your birthday again? In that case, let's change it to ten days later. After Liu Biao finished speaking, he was a little depressed.
Wang Wei saw that Liu Biao was not very interested, so he left silently.
Liu Biao was the only one left in the study. Looking at the book on the table, Liu Biao was no longer in the mood to read it. Three days later is his birthday. He is one year older. He is already sixty-one years old. He has been a little unable to deal with affairs recently. Hey..." With a long sigh, Liu Biao left the study.
