In the Three Kingdoms, many children bring many blessings. The Queen Mother Hu and He are cut off at

But no matter what.

Whether Liu Chong agrees to ascend the throne and become emperor or not.

But there is still a very serious problem before them.

That is Liu Xie is still here.

No matter what.

Liu Xie is still the legitimate emperor of the Han Dynasty.

He is the biological son of Emperor Ling of Han.

There is no emperor in the entire Han Dynasty who is more legitimate than him.

Obviously.

As long as Liu Xie is here.

It is not easy for Liu Chong to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Since Liu Bei took Hanzhong in Yizhou, he began to build palaces like Liu Yan.

It was a waste of money and labor.

But he waited until Cao Pi usurped the throne.

He became emperor.

As long as Liu Xie is here.

As long as Liu Chong is not crazy, he will only dare to raise troops in the name of clearing the court.

But if he wanted to purge the court, then the question arises again.

Who would respect him as emperor, Cao Cao or Yuan Shao?

If they were both together.

Then when Liu Chong was purge the court, would they give him all the troops?

That was simply impossible.

Let’s not talk about what Cao Cao thought for now.

But Yuan Shao wanted a puppet emperor.

Not another Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu.

And if he lent the troops to Liu Chong to purge the court.

Whether he succeeded or not.

It would only bring him harm and no benefit.

If he succeeded.

Then Liu Chong would be the next Emperor Guangwu of Han.

Yuan Shao couldn’t even be Huo Guang.

Maybe he would have to “when the cunning rabbit dies, the good bow is hidden.”

And if he failed.

It would also further expand Qin Jiuan’s power.

And the reason.

They wanted to establish a new emperor just to support a puppet to fight against the regime of Qin Jiuan who was "randomly" issuing orders.

It was not really to restore the Han Dynasty as they said.

Naturally.

Now Liu Xie, the real emperor, is their obstacle.

There are only a few Han clansmen who are still influential in the world.

No one is stupid.

They will not voluntarily become puppets while Liu Xie is still alive.

Therefore.

Liu Xie must die first.

They can put the blame for Liu Xie's death on Qin Jiuan.

Then they can push the new emperor out.

From Qin Jiuan's "holding the emperor to command the princes" to their "holding the emperor to command the princes".

They can also use this to put the blame for killing the emperor on Qin Jiuan.

"Then wait."

Qin Jiuan smiled indifferently.

That being said.

But the emperor didn't die so easily.

Take Liu Xie for example.

He almost never left the palace.

And outside the palace there were countless guards guarding and patrolling.

That was his territory., most of the guards were his men.

Now he was the only one in the world who could visit the palace as his own backyard.

If it fell to someone else.

This palace was a forbidden area.

Even if Liu Xie went out, there were layers of guards.

In addition, Qin Wuyue led the elite Xuanwei stationed in the Xuanwei headquarters in Jiangling City to guard.

Qin Jiuan really didn't think that any assassin could come in and kill Liu Xie.

So he arranged for Zhang Zhao, Lu Fan and others to pay attention to the defense in the north.

As for the possibility of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joining forces.

Qin Jiuan was very calm.

Now there are three powers.

The key to the problem is that the little emperor is in his hands now.

Just like in the original history.

The Battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had not yet started.

When friction continued.

Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Liu Biao and others in the south all had the idea of ​​going north.

Sun Ce even had a plan to sneak attack Xuchang and take away the little emperor.

What a pity.

Because of his flamboyant behavior, he offended the local gentry in Jiangdong.

He was killed by them and Xu Gong's followers.

——Although Liu Xie looked cowardly and incompetent on the surface.

In fact, he was really cowardly and incompetent.

But he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty after all.

The role he played was actually not weak at all.

Take Cao Cao in history as an example.

First, the Han Dynasty still had a gimmick.

With Emperor Xian, whether it was the gentry who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Or the gentry who wanted to get a position would first want to join Cao Cao.

Second, with the court.

You can grant officials at will.

In history, Yuan Shu was disgusted by him.

Each time, he sent his trusted subordinates to serve as officials in his own territory.

The court of Xu County would also send one person with the court's appointment to serve as an official in the local area.

And this is not the case.

But it is disgusting to keep it.

Yuan Shu was disgusted by this move.

Even Yuan Shao was disgusted by the Xu County court's appointment of officials many times.

This is also called "holding the emperor hostage to command the princes."

You have the emperor and the court.

Even if those princes secretly obey.

But they must consider the thoughts of their subordinates before doing anything.

It is impossible to say blatantly "I don't recognize the Xu County court."

At most, they will only criticize Cao Cao.

But even if they don't recognize the order issued by the Han Dynasty.

They dare not go too far.

You know this is an open conspiracy.

He also knew that this was an open conspiracy.

But no one dared to expose it.

In short.

Now Liu Xie is in his hands.

Whether Cao Cao 653 and Yuan Shao want to fight each other.

Or the two of them want to team up to fight him because of his current power.

In fact, it doesn't matter to Qin Jiuan.=|

The current situation is that Hebei has many people but weaker combat power.

Although the situation in the Central Plains Cao Cao has just stabilized, the combat power of his soldiers is very strong.

He might as well rest and recuperate.

Anyway, his main base is in the south of the Yangtze River.

When the time comes, retreat to Jiangling City and build a defense line with Hanzhong, Xiangyang City, Yecheng, Yizhou and the natural barrier of the Yangtze River.

Qin Jiuan didn't care too much about Qin Wuyue's letter and the situation on the front line.

Eat and drink.

Play with the beauties in his backyard during the day.

At night, he took the Queen Mother He and other beauties to the bathing hall to bathe.

The sound of water continued.

Qin Jiuan pulled himself out.

He put down the Queen Mother He, who seemed to have no bones, and put her on the edge of the bathing pool.

Leaning against the edge of the bathing pool.

On the bank beside the bathtub, his achievements of tonight were lying in a mess.

Six maids came forward immediately.

Two knelt behind him and massaged his shoulders.

Two sat beside him and massaged his hands.

Two entered the bathtub and knelt in front of him and massaged his thighs.

Qin Jiuan glanced casually.

But his eyes could not help but focus on the maid kneeling in front of him on the right.
