Chapter 738

Regarding Liu Hong, the former Emperor, Gu Yi naturally could not hold a respectful attitude.

He approached Liu Hong simply to make it more convenient to lay out plans and act.

If nothing else.

At least when Liu Hong was on the throne, it was completely different from the later Liu Bian and Liu Xie.

Liu Hong was an Emperor with real power.

Liu Bian and Liu Xie were completely two puppets.

Let alone the warlords of the world.

Even in the center of the imperial court, no one would pay attention to Liu Bian and Liu Xie.

But here with Liu Hong.

Although power had not yet been tightly reined back in.

But at least now, whether it was the military group or the aristocratic group, no one would openly annoy Liu Hong.

Otherwise, in a matter of minutes, political enemies would definitely heap countless big hats onto them.

At that time, it wouldn't be such a simple court struggle.

Even worse, it might directly cost them their lives.

The struggles in the imperial court had always been like this.

Often, the death of certain ministers was not because they offended the Emperor, but because they offended political enemies.

And at this moment.

Liu Hong was just a new Emperor who sat on the throne but didn't know how to use real power.

Under Gu Yi's strategy, Liu Hong finally learned to use the authority that belonged to the Emperor in his hands.

Therefore.

Liu Hong wanted to confer titles on Gu Yi to win over people's hearts.

Little did he know how naive his behavior appeared in Gu Yi's eyes.

To put it bluntly, Gu Yi approached Liu Hong just to make it more convenient to contact Dong Zhuo and intervene in the Xun family's affairs.

As for the rest, whether Liu Hong lived or died, Gu Yi didn't care.

But Liu Hong didn't think so in his heart.

In his eyes, Gu Yi had already become the spokesperson for someone whose plans never failed.

What?

You say who can be compared to Gu Yi?

If this question were asked of Liu Hong, then of course it would be the Marquis of Liu.

Zhang Liang.

Even to the extent.

The shameless Liu Hong even solemnly said to Gu Yi:

"Mr. Linzhi is to me what Zhang Liang was to Liu Bang."

Little did he know.

When Gu Yi heard this sentence, how chilling he felt.

It would be one thing if Cao Cao said it to Seeing Xun Yu.

You, Liu Hong, actually used it to say this?

Well, in fact, comparing the strategists under one's command to "my Zhang Liang" was not something only Liu Hong did.

Many monarchs of feudal dynasties, and even warlords in troubled times, had used such metaphors.

However, the most famous one that has been passed down is Cao Cao saying to Seeing Xun Yu, "Wenruo is my Zhang Liang."

At this moment.

The attitude Liu Hong held toward Gu Yi, this great Buddha, was that he hoped Gu Yi could give him advice as much as possible.

After all.

Besides Gu Yi, who was not on the payroll, under Liu Hong's command.

The remaining few people, no matter from which angle you looked at them, seemed to be a group of motley crews.

The eunuch Zhang Rang, the eunuch Zhao Zhong, and the butcher He Jin.

If these three were placed in the late period of Liu Hong's reign, they would naturally be a combination that held power over the world.

But now.

The three of them combined, I'm afraid, wouldn't carry as much weight as any important court minister sent by the military group or the aristocratic group.
