Xun You's eyes lit up: "Purge the court of corrupt officials and quell the national crisis! The title of strategist is excellent!"
"Let's use this as a pretext to raise an army in Luoyang!" Liu Wei made the final decision.
My current situation is similar to Judy's!
The young emperor listened to He Jin and Empress Dowager He, who wanted to reduce my fiefdom and seize my power. If I didn't rebel, would I just wait to die?
"Commander Shen, how is the investigation into the cause of the Emperor's death progressing with your men in Luoyang?"
Liu Wei suddenly said to Shen Lian.
Xun You and Yao Guangxiao were startled again.
It turns out that on the night Liu Wei was in Loulan, he received an urgent report of Liu Hong's death and had already guessed that Liu Hong's death was not natural.
When he left Liu Hong for Youzhou, he ate and drank well and praised the dishes that Liu Wei personally cooked.
The moment Liu Wei spent with his father made him feel his father's love.
Although Liu Hong had suffered from chronic illnesses for many years, judging from his mental state that night, it was impossible for him to have died in just five months.
It will take at least two years!
Considering Liu Wei's victory in Youzhou, Liu Yu relinquished the governorship of Youzhou to Liu Wei.
However, Liu Hong agreed to Liu Yu's memorial and commended Liu Wei for his merits by promoting him to General of Chariots and Cavalry.
If Liu Wei only controlled the lands beyond the Great Wall, he wouldn't pose a significant threat to the Empress Dowager. However, once he became the Governor of Youzhou, the outcome was quite different!
He Jin and Empress Dowager He would not allow Liu Wei to continue to grow so powerful.
However, if we were to use troops against Liu Wei, we would not be able to get past Liu Hong.
Therefore, as long as Liu Hong dies, Liu Bian can ascend the throne ahead of schedule and issue an edict to abolish Liu Wei's title.
"My lord, the investigation is almost complete, and we have collected a considerable amount of witness testimony and physical evidence."
"However, the eunuch who directly administered the poison is already dead, so it cannot be proven that Empress Dowager He ordered it."
Chen Lian replied.
"Did Empress Dowager He poison His Majesty?"
Xun You looked incredulous.
Yao Guangxiao looked disdainful, but remembering that Liu Hong was Liu Wei's father, he quickly adopted a gritted-teeth expression:
"If His Majesty doesn't pass away soon, our lord will take over the entire Hebei province!"
"As expected, a woman's heart is the most poisonous; she can even harm her own husband!"
