Chapter 547

"So, this mission is safe, and there's no catch? Yan Xiang actually gave me such a good opportunity?"

"Unexpected!"

Thinking of this, Yang Hong looked at Yan Xiang with a complex expression.

He suddenly felt in his heart that this old fellow wasn't actually that annoying!

At the very least, he seemed to always focus on the matter rather than the person.

However, for him to reconcile with Yan Xiang, let alone thank him, was impossible.

Yang Hong stepped out of the ranks and bowed to Yuan Shu: "My Lord! I am willing to go!"

"Very good!"

Yuan Shu was very satisfied with Yang Hong's proactive attitude and immediately waved his hand: "Then it is settled! Yang Hong, take 50,000 gold as a gift, go to Jingzhou to meet King Qian, and persuade him not to take action against us. I can refrain from contending for the two commanderies of Lujiang and Jiujiang, and acknowledge his ownership of these two commanderies."

Yuan Shu was still quite generous.

He offered 50,000 gold right from the start.

It made Yan Xiang's heart ache.

His own Lord was used to being extravagant and really didn't treat money as money!

Do you know how much 50,000 gold is?

Do you know how long it takes to earn 50,000 gold?

But since Yuan Shu had already said it, what else could Yan Xiang say?

Moreover, although he was quite confident, at a time like this, they were the ones asking Su Xuan for something.

Bringing a generous gift was necessary.

As long as Su Xuan could guarantee not to attack them next, then this 50,000 gold could be considered well spent.

"Yes!"

Yang Hong immediately accepted the order with joy.

He thought: "Hahaha! With this 50,000 gold, my trip will definitely be safe!"

After all, Su Xuan had been willing to let Yuan Shu spend money to avert disaster twice before; this time, he didn't even need to avert disaster, just needed a promise from Su Xuan to receive 50,000 gold. He believed Su Xuan would not refuse.

At the same time, Liu Biao, Liu Yu, and Liu Zhang also received news of the deaths of the Emperor and Dong Zhuo one after another.

For a time, the three had different thoughts.

Liu Zhang was overjoyed and summoned his civil and military officials to discuss his own ascension to the throne.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He had started preparing since his father's time.

In fact, even the imperial palace, carriages, and such were already more or less prepared.

Even if the Emperor hadn't died, he had thoughts of declaring himself Emperor in the future.

Now that the Emperor was dead, he had even fewer scruples.

He couldn't wait to ascend the throne immediately.

By comparison, Liu Yu and Liu Biao were much more restrained.

Especially Liu Yu, who was very saddened by the Emperor's death.

But with the persuasion of his subordinates, his mind also began to waver.

"My Lord! Now is not the time for you to be sad. The Emperor has passed away in Chang'an, which means the position of the Great Han Emperor is vacant;"

"If this were during a period of great unification, it wouldn't matter, and one could slowly choose a suitable candidate to inherit the throne;"

"But this is a chaotic era, with various kings rising up. The longer the delay, the lower the prestige of the Great Han;"

"Therefore, for the future of the Great Han, you should suppress the sorrow in your heart and ascend the throne as soon as possible to become the legitimate Emperor of the Great Han;"

"Only then can you better preserve the prestige of the Great Han and awe the various warlord kings of the world!"

Tian Kai directly advised Liu Yu.

"Yes! Yes! My Lord, please ascend the throne as soon as possible!"

"We are all willing to support you, Great King!"

"......"

With Tian Kai taking the lead, the civil and military officials under Liu Yu began to agitate and respond one after another.

Seeing this, Liu Yu felt complex emotions, but he could not help but feel a bit excited.

Yes! Tian Kai was right; this was not the time for hesitation.

Becoming the new Emperor of the Great Han as soon as possible was the most critical thing.

Therefore, he immediately nodded and said: "I know your intentions. Regarding the future of the Great Han, I will not shirk this responsibility!"

"Immediately announce to the outside world that I will ascend the throne in Jixian in 15 days to become the new Emperor of the Great Han;"

"At the same time, send envoys to the various warlord kings of the world, asking them to send envoys to observe the ceremony."

Since he had decided, there was nothing to hesitate about.

Although Liu Yu had no ambition in this regard in the past.

But now that he was pushed into a corner, the ambition in his heart was also ignited.

"Yes! Your Majesty is wise!"

Tian Kai and the others bowed and accepted the order decisively.

In this way, they would also have the merit of following the dragon!

They would inevitably receive rewards and their status would rise accordingly.

A great thing!
