Chengdu, south of the city.
This residence belongs to Liu Mao.
He was Liu Zhang's third brother. In front of Liu Mao, there were the eldest brother Liu Fan and the second brother Liu Dan, but they were killed by Li Jue in Chang'an. The only sons left with Liu Yan were Liu Mao and Liu Zhang.
When Liu Yan dominated Yizhou, Liu Hao was already an adult and had been handling government affairs for many years.
It stands to reason that Liu Hao is the most suitable person to take power. However, Liu Yan's old generals Zhao Wei and others, considering that Liu Zhang was young and lacked the ability to make decisions, supported Liu Zhang after Liu Yan's death. Take over.
Liu Hao was left alone and then suppressed everywhere.
Liu Zhang has been in power for more than four years, and Liu Mao has been suppressed all this time. When Liu Yan was alive, he could do many things and had some power. Now, he has no power whatsoever.
After Lu Xuan took control of Chengdu, Liu Mao had no power, no connections, and was even more isolated.
Liu Hao's heart became increasingly angry.
Why was he left alone again, and why did Liu Zhang get a good placement?
Liu Hao's heart was unbalanced, so he became more and more addicted to alcohol and numbed himself by drinking. No, Liu Hao was drinking in the study. He was so drunk that his eyes were blurred and he vented his depression.
"Liu Zhang, Lu Xuan, you are all working together."
"Lu Xuan, do you think you can really gain a foothold in Yizhou? It's impossible. In terms of Bajun, Yan Yan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. There are still Nanman people in the south. Yizhou looks peaceful, but in fact it is difficult to govern."
"You think you can control Yizhou just because you captured Chengdu and that idiot Liu Zhang. That's presumptuous. If you don't use someone like me who is familiar with Yizhou, you will use some rubbish instead."
"Lu Xuan, you are blind."
Liu Hao scolded angrily.
The weather at the end of May is getting hotter and hotter. After drinking, he became angry again and felt hot all over. He took off his outer robe and roared loudly. The servants outside were all cautious after hearing Liu Hao's words.
It was too dangerous involving Lu Xuan.
While the servants were all lowering their heads and looking serious, there was a man in his twenties, wearing a long white dress, with an oval face and willow eyebrows. His complexion was white and crystal clear, his skin was like jade, and his eyes seemed to be full of spring water. The woman came over.
The woman's name is Wu Ran, Wu Yi's sister.
Historically, she first married Liu Mao, and after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, she married Wu Ran, and was finally canonized as queen.
She looks dignified, elegant and generous, but there is a touch of depression and sadness between her eyebrows. She saw the silent servants one by one, waved her hands, and all the servants outside the study retreated.
Wu Ran stood at the door of the study, paused for a moment to listen, and heard Liu Mao scolding Lu Xuan.
There was a trace of worry on Wu Ran's beautiful face. Open the door and enter the study.
"Who let you in, get out."
When Liu Hao heard the door being pushed open, he became furious, grabbed a wine glass in front of him and threw it out.
Wu Ran turned sideways to avoid it, but even so, the drink was still spilled on him, causing the hem of his dress to get wet. Her expression remained unchanged, she walked up to Liu Hao, took away the wine bottle, and said, "Husband, drinking will cause trouble, and drinking too much will harm your health."
After Liu Hao heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Ran, his eyes as fierce as ever, like a jackal, a tiger or a leopard.
He stared at Wu Ran, smiled coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "What can be missed? What is worth delaying? Liu Zhang is such a fool. He doesn't even believe his own brother, but he believes in people like Zhang Song."
"He deserved to be betrayed."
"Lu Xuan is cunning and doesn't give me any chance. Now I am in white clothes and have nothing. When I open my eyes every morning, I see the night. I eat and wait for death every day. What else can I delay?"
Liu Hao stood up.
He was quite tall. He stared at Wu Ran at close range, stretched out his hand to pinch Wu Ran's chin, and said coldly: "What's more, when it comes to hurting the body, when I was young, I injured my lower body while riding a horse in Luoyang. It's inhumane. What more can be hurt?”
"If you marry me, you are just like a chicken that can't lay eggs. Do you feel comfortable listening to some of the sarcastic remarks outside?"
"Many people say that you, Wu Ran, have been married to me for six or seven years, but have not given birth to a son or a half."
"You are just a chicken that can't lay eggs."
Liu Hao's voice was high-pitched, and his eyes were sharper than ever before.
Wu Ran's eyes suddenly filled with mist. She never complained about her marriage to Liu Hao. Liu Mao's words were bone-chilling, and every sentence was like a knife, piercing her heart.
Liu Hao sneered: "Why, are you still wronged?"
Wu Ran's eyes welled up with tears, but she did not shed any tears. She said, "I am not wronged."
Liu Hao sneered and said: "Why don't you feel aggrieved? I can't be humane and let you have children. Of course you should feel aggrieved."
At this point, Liu Mao raised his voice and scolded: "But can your grievance be compared with my grievance? I am the third son of my father and the elder brother of Liu Zhang. The eldest brother and the second brother died in Chang'an."
"After my father became ill, he refused to let me take power, and even delayed establishing an heir. As a result, Zhao Wei and others took advantage of the loophole. After my father died, these people thought that Liu Zhang would be easy to control, so they supported Liu Zhang."
"For so many years, I have been suppressed and I have never been able to breathe."
"Can you feel wronged by me?"
Liu Mao raised his hand and patted Wu Ran's fair and jade-like face. Wu Ran's skin was delicate, and even though the force was not strong, it still left a bright red mark.
Wu Ran's eyes were red and her hands were tightly holding the skirt of her skirt.
I feel extremely aggrieved.
Liu Hao sneered and said: "Get out of here and stop bothering me. Do you think that my Liu family is in decline? Do you want to leave the Liu family and find another family? I tell you, that is impossible. I To live, you must remain a widow.”
"Let me tell you, don't think that Lu Xuan is powerful now, but there will always be times when Lu Xuan stumbles."
"Once Lu Xuan dies, the situation in Yizhou will change drastically in an instant."
"When the time comes, the state of Wu will be leaderless and the situation will be turbulent. No one will care about Yizhou. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will go to the state of Wu, and our place in Yizhou will be stable again. Liu Zhang can't do it, but I will stand up."
"Get out!"
Liu Hao finally increased his strength.
The palm of his hand slapped Wu Ran's face. Although the force was not too strong, it still left a mark.
Wu Ran left with red eyes and returned to the courtyard, sobbing softly and looking sad. The look of the pear blossoms with rain made me pity her even more. She had just choked and cried for a while when a maid came in and reported: "Madam, General Wu Yi is here."
After Wu Ran heard this, she took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and her face. Then, with a smile on her face, she ordered: "Bring brother in."
"Here!"
The maid got the order and turned around to inform.
