In the main hall of Yecheng, Yi Ji was ordered to come to see Liu Zhuan, the king of the East China Sea, the pseudo-emperor who inherited the throne in Yecheng.

In the eyes of Liu Qi's group, he was naturally a false emperor, but in the eyes of the people in Yecheng, their emperor was the real thing, more real than anyone else. This was a matter of stance.

However, Yiji did not treat the other monarch with the etiquette of an emperor, but still treated him with the etiquette of a prince.

This made a group of high-ranking officials in the Yecheng court very unhappy. At that moment, someone came to Liu Zhuan and asked the emperor to issue an order to kill Yi Ji.

But Liu Zhuan did not do this after reading Liu Qi's letter to herself.

He overcame all objections and personally held a banquet in the palace to entertain the Iraqis.

Liu Qi's letter home to Liu Zhuan did not mention anything about the war on the two fronts. He just politely respected Liu Zhuan as his clan uncle, and asked about his health, family harmony, and whether he would be reborn.

Plans for several sons.

Also, how many hours do you work every day, how much do you eat, how often do you exercise, etc.

All in all, it is indeed a family letter from the family.

Whether it was sincere or fake, Liu Qi's actions moved Liu Zhuan quite a bit.

A group of people headed by Shen Pei kept urging Liu Zhuan to kill Yi Ji to show the power of Heaven, but Liu Zhuan's answer to them was: "If the two countries are at war, we will not kill the envoys."

Although he was a puppet emperor, he still had some basic administrative space. As long as it did not involve sensitive issues such as the economy and military, including Hebei's political orders, Yuan Shao was relatively tolerant of the pseudo-emperor.

Although he did not kill Yi Ji, Liu Zhuan's behavior did not go beyond the path that Yuan Shao had drawn for him, so the judge did not make it too difficult for him.

In Shen Pei's view, Zuo Yiji is just a messenger, and he can do whatever he wants.

It's not that there are no Shen Pei's eyes and ears in the palace. If Yi Ji really did something nefarious, Shen Pei would also know about it.

During the banquet with Liu Zhuan, Yi Ji not only expressed to Liu Zhuan the greetings of his nephew Liu Qi to him, but also told Liu Zhuan some stories about the major events that Liu Qi had done in Sili after he ascended the throne.

listen.

These contents were just gossip and did not involve military affairs, so the eunuchs waiting for the two of them to eat did not hear any information that was useful for the trial.

However, the eunuchs did not hear any useful information, but Liu Zhuan heard something that made his heart surge.

Yi Ji exaggerated and boasted to Liu Zhuan in a way similar to "Romance" about how Liu Qi managed the gentry and ministers in Luoyang, eradicated dissidents, and maintained the orthodox power of the Han Dynasty.

Didn't Liu Zhu feel envious after hearing this?

That is impossible.

They are both emperors. Look at the role of my eldest nephew as emperor. It is really a turbulent and colorful life.

Those jackals were wiped out by him in a snap of his fingers, showing off his heroic spirit.

More than 10,000 people were in Luoyang, and he killed them all when they said they were going to be killed. What a pleasure!

Turn around and look at yourself.

Liu Zhuan felt a little contempt for herself.

They are both emperors. How do they become emperors?

Not to mention killing ten thousand people, even if he wants to kill a few eunuchs in the palace, he still has to see who is standing behind them!

Liu Zhuan felt deeply depressed.

Yiji then presented some white porcelain, Shu brocade and other objects to Liu Zhuan, saying that this was a small gift from Liu Qixiang to his uncle from the same clan, and asked the king to accept it.

At the same time, he also expressed some requests for peace to Liu Zhuan. After all, they are uncles and nephews of the same clan, and the family ties are still there. The world belongs to the Han Dynasty. Many things can be resolved at the negotiation table, so why bother?

What about bringing it to the battlefield?

Yi Ji's words spoke to Liu Zhuan's heart. Although he did not directly command the battle on the front line like Liu Qi, as the nominal leader of the Yecheng government, Liu Zhuan was indeed disgusted with this war.

He himself does not understand his position in his heart. If he continues to fight like this, no matter whether he wins or loses in the end, he will not end well.

If he loses, Liu Qi will not let him go.

Victory... Yuan Shao has unified the world, why should he be left behind?

Liu Zhuan also planned her future in her heart.

If neither Liu Qi nor Yuan Shao can destroy the other, he can continue to live on.

In fact, Liu Zhuan did not want to be the emperor at the beginning, but Cao Cao's army pressed on the East China Sea and insisted on sending him to Yecheng, even if he gave up everything.

Facing the opponent's fierce pressure, Donghai King had no room to resist.

In desperation, he finally reached the point of being a puppet.

"Well, actually I don't want to fight. Many things are not from my original intention, but are done as a last resort. Although there are no two days in the sky and two emperors in the earth, the problem is already done... I am also very sad and have no choice.

."

Yi Ji said: "My Majesty is well aware of your Majesty's intentions. Although as far as our dynasty is concerned, my Majesty is the orthodox nowadays, after all, your Majesty and your Majesty are uncles and nephews of the same clan. Although the world is bound to be unified, whether it is necessary to proceed

Wu Tong, this still needs to be discussed. In short, my Majesty said that no matter how the Han Dynasty and the world are unified in the end, if the king goes to Luoyang the next day, your Majesty will still treat him with the courtesy of a prince."

Liu Zhuan smiled and said: "Go back and tell Boyu that although I have never met him, when he comes to Yecheng the next day, I will treat him with the courtesy of a king."

…

After sending away the Yi family, Liu Zhuan made up his mind and immediately came to review the match.

"Ai Qing compiled a letter for me and sent it to the front line to inform the Prime Minister that Liu Qi sent an envoy to Yi Ji to negotiate peace with me."

In fact, there was no need for Liu Zhuan to explain to Shen Pei, as his spies in the palace had already informed Shen Pei.

The trial partner saluted and said: "May I ask your Majesty, does your Majesty want to agree to Liu Qi's peace negotiation, or does he not want to agree?"

Liu Zhuan naturally wanted to agree. It would be best for him not to fight.

But he couldn't tell the judge that way.

Because the current center of Yecheng, the titular emperor, does not have enough power to decide such major military and political matters, especially the issue of one's own attitude towards Liu Qi, which is a very sensitive issue.

If he dared to directly make a conclusion to the judge, then his life would probably be over.

Liu Zhuan said to the judge: "This matter is of great importance. I cannot decide it on my own. The Prime Minister must make the decision at the opportunity. Aiqing only needs to inform the Prime Minister about the matter. As for how to act... I should obey the Prime Minister's arrangements."

The judge nodded with satisfaction, extremely satisfied with Liu Zhuan's performance.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely bring your Majesty's words to the Prime Minister."

"Thank you for your help."

The reason why Shen Ping is so cooperative is because he actually feels that if a truce can be reached, it will be a great good thing for his side.
