Now that the Imperial Ruler's Seal was in Yang Rui's hands, there were naturally many people who had extravagant hopes for it. However, no one dared to try and snatch it from Yang Rui. However, there were still people who expressed their desire for the Imperial Ruler's Seal in Yang Rui's hands.
This person was the Han Emperor, Liu Xie. On the second day of the game after Yang Rui obtained the Imperial Ruler's Seal, Liu Xie had sent an envoy to find Yang Rui, intending to retrieve the Imperial Ruler's Seal.
Yang Rui's possession of the Imperial Ruler's Seal had been announced through the system. Now that Yuan Shu had died, the envoy knew that he couldn't keep the Imperial Ruler's Seal. Thus, he simply gave the Imperial Ruler's Seal to Yang Rui and hurriedly returned to Shouchun to settle down his family.
Since Liu Xie had sent an envoy, Yang Rui naturally couldn't refuse and say that the Imperial Ruler's Seal wasn't with him. However, Yang Rui was somewhat unwilling to hand over the Imperial Ruler's Seal.
No matter what, the Imperial Ruler's Seal was a heaven-tier item in the three kingdoms' region. It had extremely powerful attributes. Back then, Yuan Shu had only activated one of its attributes, and it was enough to create a fog that sealed off Xuzhou.
At the same time, the Imperial Ruler's Seal was also a hot potato. As an important clue in the storyline, the Imperial Ruler's Seal was very likely to affect the direction of the third large-scale storyline in the three kingdoms' region. It might even affect the establishment of factions.
Thus, Yang Rui actually had thoughts of handing over the Imperial Ruler's Seal. However, Yang Rui couldn't make up his mind at the moment. Thus, Yang Rui used the excuse that the Imperial Ruler's Seal was not in Linzi Prefecture City as an excuse to temporarily settle down Liu Xie's envoy.
The young Emperor, Liu Xie, wanted the Imperial Jade Seal. However, if the Imperial Jade Seal fell into Liu Xie's hands, it would be equivalent to helping Cao Cao. In addition, Yang Rui was very unwilling to hand over the Imperial Jade Seal.
After Yang Rui settled the young Emperor Liu Xie's emissary, he once again summoned Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Sun Qian, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and the other officers to discuss the matter of the Imperial Jade Seal.
Originally, Yang Rui had gathered most of the civil and military officials in Linzi Prefecture City to discuss the arrangements for the third large-scale system storyline that was about to take place in the region of the three civilizations.
At the same time, most of Yang Rui's family members also participated in the discussion. They were all sitting behind the screen behind Yang Rui's seat to listen in.
Originally, Yang Rui had only sent a message to a few of them so that they could come and listen in if they were interested. However, he didn't expect that most of his family members would participate in the discussion.
Regarding the Imperial Jade Seal, everyone had already come to a conclusion. That was, they suggested that Yang Rui keep the Imperial Jade Seal. However, they wouldn't bring it out for discussion or use it for the time being.
Of course, even if Yang Rui wanted to immediately use the Imperial Jade Seal, he still hadn't found a way to activate it.
At this moment, the situation had changed again. The young Emperor Liu Xie had actually taken the initiative to ask for the Imperial Jade Seal. Even if it was likely that Cao Cao was behind it, Yang Rui felt that he had to give a proper explanation.
Yang Rui gave a brief description of the situation. Everyone present already knew what was going on, but very few of them put forward mature suggestions. Only Dian Wei and a few other famous historical generals were discussing in low voices. They wanted to simply send the messenger back and not give the Imperial Jade Seal to the young Emperor Liu Xie.
However, everyone knew that such a simple decision would definitely have some impact. Whether it was Yang Rui's reputation or his explanation to the world, Yang Rui's possession of the Imperial Jade Seal would be an overstep. Unless Yang Rui directly proclaimed himself emperor like Yuan Shu.
The Imperial Jade Seal was of great significance. It even concerned the choice to proclaim himself emperor. Few of the civil and military officials could think of a good idea. Most of them were discussing among themselves. For the time being, no one could come up with a mature suggestion.
"My lord, after much consideration, Yu thinks that it would be better to bring out the Young Emperor Liu Bian and claim the Imperial Jade Seal in his name. What do you think of imitating the ambitious and ruthless Cao Cao and holding the Emperor to order his vassals? Yu is too short-sighted. Please reconsider … "
After a while of discussion, Cheng Yu suddenly took a step forward and said.
According to Cheng Yu, they were going to invite out the Young Emperor Liu Bian who had been sealed for a long time. Even some of Yang Rui's subordinates didn't know the details of Liu Bian's situation. Thus, the discussion became even more heated.
During Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the Young Emperor Liu Bian had disappeared very suddenly. Not many of Yang Rui's subordinates knew the details of Liu Bian's whereabouts. Under Yang Rui's instructions, Cheng Yu couldn't help but explain it to the officers.
Since Cheng Yu had already explained it clearly, it would help to avoid the suspicions of the officers.
As for whether this topic would spread, Yang Rui wasn't too worried. Before this, there were rumors that Liu Bian was in Yang Rui's hands. It was just that outsiders couldn't verify it.
At this time, even if the people present did not keep their mouths shut, they might not be able to convince the people outside.
However, Cheng Yu's suggestion made Yang Rui cautious. Liu Bian was the orthodox Han Dynasty, even more so than Liu Xie. After all, Liu Xie was the emperor appointed by Dong Zhuo, while Liu Bian was the original emperor appointed by Emperor Ling of Han.
If Yang Rui suddenly invited Liu Bian out again, there was no telling what would happen to the three kingdoms' civilization.
At the same time, if Liu Bian appeared again, even if Yang Rui learned from Cao Cao and forced the emperor to order his vassals, the procedures would be much more troublesome. Moreover, Yang Rui had to find a capital for Liu Bian, establish a family, and so on. Not only was Yang Rui too lazy to do so, he also disdained to do so.
Yang Rui's subordinates all had their own concerns. This time, Cheng Yu, who made the suggestion, also had a discussion attitude. For a while, no one came forward to agree with this point of view.
This situation continued for a while. Yang Rui's brows were furrowed, and the officers also remained silent. Until Yang Rui suddenly thought of a possibility, and his brows relaxed a little.
"If you can't come to a conclusion, why don't we put this matter aside for the time being? We will continue to discuss the deployment of troops in preparation for the start of the storyline …"
After Yang Rui thought of a possibility, he temporarily changed the topic. It was difficult for the officers to come up with a very mature plan in a short period of time. In fact, the Imperial Jade Seal was also a problem that the system had given Yang Rui.
Next, Yang Rui and the others discussed internal affairs and military matters for a while before temporarily dispersing.
Yang Rui also used the teleportation formation and the flying ship's soul to go to the Sky City of the Great Mountain City to meet Liu Bian, who had been living there.
