Lü Bu of the God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 397 Liu Bei recognizes relatives

"Rumble, rumble." Just as Hu Zhen was marching towards Chang'an City with Emperor Xian with a large group of soldiers and horses, the sound of horses' hoofs suddenly sounded in front of him, and then a horse appeared in front of him. When the first person was over thirty years old, he was majestic with two strands of swords. Who is this person not Liu Bei?

"Brother, you're here. Go and see Emperor Xian." Seeing Liu Bei appear, Zhang Fei roared excitedly. Then he looked in the middle of Hu Zhen's team, which was exactly the place of Emperor Xian for Liu Bei.

"Brother, the third brother is right. Don't miss the opportunity. Don't lose it again." At this time, Guan Yu also came to Liu Bei to persuade him. He looked forward to Liu Bei seeing Emperor Xian.

"Liu Bei, the governor of the plain, met with your majesty and asked your majesty to meet him." Looking at the two brothers flying from Guan Yu, Liu Bei nodded, and then came to Hu Zhen's side of the team, Liu Bei said loudly.

"Liu County magistrate, meet your majesty's request. I have just told your two brothers below that the first is that you can't bring soldiers, and the second is that you can't bring weapons by your side. Is Liu County magistrate willing to abide by these two points?" Hu Zhen saw Liu Bei coming forward and arching his hand, and said like a businessman.

"What General Hu Zhen said is that Liu Bei has no objection to these necessary measures." For Hu Zhen's request, Liu Bei completely accepted it and carried it out. Anyway, Liu Bei is not worried about his safety when Yu and Zhang Fei are here. If even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't protect Liu Bei, then Liu Bei really has nothing to rely on.

"In that case, please come with me to see Your Majesty." Seeing that Liu Bei untied the weapon he wore, Hu Zhen showed an imperceptible smile on his face, and then took Liu Bei to the middle of the team. With Liu Bei, who had no weapons on his body, Hu Zhen finally felt that he had room to bargain in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and couldn't help but settle down.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei, the magistrate of Pingyuan County, has arrived. I don't know if your majesty is going to meet him now?" Hu Zhen took Liu Bei to stand next to Emperor Xian's frame, and then bowed to the frame and said respectfully.

"Oh? Is the county magistrate Liu here? Let him come over." Hearing Hu Zhen's report, Emperor Xian raised his eyelids slightly and said listlessly. At this time, the frame is gradually moving away from Chang'an, but Emperor Xian's mood is gradually getting worse. As long as he returns to Chang'an, Emperor Xian will start his gray life again, and the Liu County magistrate obviously does not have the ability to save himself.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei is very capable. If he can stay in Chang'an as a foreign aid, it will be a powerful help for your majesty. Your Majesty can't wait slowly." Seeing that Emperor Xian was a little contemptful to Liu Bei, Cao Yin beside him couldn't help climbing to Emperor Xian's ear and whispered softly.

After listening to Cao Yin's words, Emperor Xian's eyes flashed away. As a puppet emperor, Emperor Xian is not without ambition, let alone not wanting to restore the glory of his ancestors. He has always been weak and can't be coerced by strong ministers. He can only pretend to be mediocre, at the mercy of others, but It is in Emperor Xian's heart that he is struggling all the time and planning for future struggles. It's just that these plans have always been so insignificant, but Emperor Xian has never stopped this struggle. In this sense, Emperor Xian can be said to be a rare Qingming king in the history of the Han Dynasty. These others may not know, but Cao Yin around Emperor Xian is very clear. Although Cao Yin's goal is to restore the glory and power of the eunuchs, all the glory and power of the eunuchs can only be based on the strong imperial power. In this sense, the goals of Emperor Xian and Cao Yin seem to be the same. To.

"I have seen Your Majesty." After being summoned by Emperor Xian, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Xian's frame three times and nine times. His expression was humble and respectful, but Emperor Xian had never seen him since he ascended to the throne.

"Liu Bei, please raise your head and let me take a good look at you." Seeing that Liu Bei bowed three times and nine salutes to himself, his expression was humble and respectful. Emperor Xian was happy. His evaluation of Liu Bei was two points higher. You should know that since Emperor Xian ascended the throne, he had lived in the shadow of Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo walked with his sword and did not worship him when he entered the court. Emperor Xian was not trembling when he saw Dong Zhuo, although later Dong Zhuo was killed. Wang Yun and Ma Teng were also respectful to Emperor Xian, but this kind of respect was completely a worship of imperial power. Both Wang Yun and Ma Teng despised the young Emperor Xian, instead of their heartfelt respect for Emperor Xian. How could Emperor Xian, who had been in the palace for a long time, not see it? This made Emperor Xian pay special attention to Liu Bei's performance in front of him.

"Your Majesty, it's incompetent for you to suffer." When Liu Bei raised his head according to Emperor Xian's order, Liu Bei was already in tears. At the beginning, Liu Bei said with concern to Emperor Xian from the perspective of an adult. And it's full of tears.

Although Liu Bei's greeting is not eye-catching, it affects all the worries of Emperor Xian. Since the death of Empress Dowager He, there has been no one around Emperor Xian who really cares about Emperor Xian. The ministers in the court either flatter Emperor Xian and want to get high-ranking officials, or turn to strong ministers and disdain Emperor Xian. However, he did not care about the feelings of Emperor Xian, who was still a child. No one knew the hard work of Emperor Xian to survive in troubled times, and no one knew how many dangers Emperor Xian had encountered and how much pain he endured. Who really cared about Emperor Xian's feelings? Today, Liu Bei is just a sentence, but it made Emperor Xian feel like Liu Bei has fully empathized with all the pain over the years. How can Emperor Xian, who is still a child, not feel moved?

"Your Majesty, this Liu Bei is my relative of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty should be close to many people." Seeing the emotional fluctuations inadvertently on Emperor Xian's face, Cao Yin reminded him softly. While talking, he glanced at Hu Zhen beside him.

"Liu Bei, since you are a relative of the Han Dynasty and I are of the same clan, please get in the car and talk to me." Seeing Cao Yin's expression, Emperor Xian will not understand. It was Cao Yin who was afraid that there would be ears across the wall, but didn't Liu Bei tell people everywhere that he was a relative of the Han Dynasty? Now as long as Emperor Xian said yes, who can say no? What's more, as long as Liu Bei is labeled as a relative of the Han Dynasty, no matter how close Liu Bei is to Emperor Xian, it is a family matter, and it is really difficult for others to refute.

"This?" Hearing Emperor Xian's greeting, Liu Bei was suddenly shocked by this sudden joy. Many words that had been prepared suddenly became useless waste. Liu Bei never thought that it would be so easy to recognize relatives with Emperor Xian, and it seemed that he had to be with himself according to the meaning of Emperor Xian. It's closer, but in this way, Liu Bei is a little hesitant. After all, Liu Bei's current strength determines that Liu Bei can only keep a low profile, and Emperor Xian's meaning seems that he doesn't want to keep a low profile anymore. Thinking about it, Liu Bei involuntarily goes to Emperor Xian's frame, obviously in Liu Bei's now. The status can only follow the will of Emperor Xian, and only this is the most beneficial to Liu Bei. Although his closeness with Emperor Xian is a little sharp, it is also the best opportunity for Liu Bei to show his orthodox status to the world. With close contact with Emperor Xian, although Liu Bei is not strong, he also has the ability to be with the world. Hou Zhengxiong's reputation is undoubtedly the sharp weapon that Liu Bei relied on all his life.

"General Hu Zhen, Your Majesty and Liu Bei still have a lot to say. Please make yourself." Seeing Liu Bei on Emperor Xian's frame, Hu Zhen's eyes turned and wanted to listen to what they said, but he was stopped by Cao Yin with a smile. Ha ha, General Hu Yu finally found a relative to talk about himself. It's better not to disturb him. It's the right thing to rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible.

"Ha ha, thank you, Grandpa Cao, for reminding me. In this case, I will leave it to Grandpa Cao more." Cao Yin was right. Even if Hu Zhen knew the content of Liu Bei's conversation with Emperor Xian, it was at most just a small report to Lv Bu. How could this be compared with the merit of bringing Emperor Xian to Lv Bu? Thinking of this, Hu Zhen's interest in eavesdropping on the conversation between the two has greatly decreased, but this does not mean that Hu Zhen can be relieved. It was Hu Zhe who left another team of soldiers and horses to prevent in case, so he got up and left, driving the army to continue to Chang'an City.

"Liu Aiqing, I don't know who your ancestors are? I think you look extraordinary, and you must be very human. After staring at Liu Bei for a long time, Emperor Xian has never realized that Liu Bei is similar to his own ancestor. Naturally, it is impossible to estimate the origin of Liu Bei's birth, but this does not change Emperor Xian's determination to recognize his relatives. It is certain that Emperor Dong Zhuo Xian can recognize his father. Emperor Ling has a precedent of recognizing the eunuch as his father, so for Emperor Xian, for himself It is not difficult to recognize a few fathers, not to mention a relative. You should know that since Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Great Han Dynasty, has been divided into the world, I don't know how many descendants Liu's lineage has continued. Even if there are many relatives to recognize relatives, it is not surprising.

"After King Jing of Zhongshan, I am the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, the grandson of Liu Xiong, and the son of Liu Hong." Hearing Emperor Xian's words, Liu Bei quickly bowed and replied.

So Emperor Xian called Cao Yin over, and the two pinched their fingers and began to calculate Liu Bei's generation. Emperor Xian's face was happy.

"Haha, it turns out that it is arranged according to the clan. Aiqing is as good as my generation. It seems that I will call you an uncle in the future." With that, Emperor Xian nodded to Liu Bei with a smile and recognized the uncle, and then said to Cao Yin, "Back to the court, remember to remind me that this matter must be included in the genealogy, and there is no delay."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the villain will naturally remember. Please let the villain congratulate your majesty on getting a good minister, and then congratulate Uncle Liu on his recognition of his ancestors. Seeing that Emperor Xian and Liu Bei had a harmonious relationship, Cao Yin said pleasantly.
