Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 771 Just right
Liu Xie has never liked the Prime Minister's Mansion in Yecheng very much.

In other words, he didn't like either Xuchang or Chang'an.

After all, one is a cage for the hostages, and the other is full of foolish people manipulated by the fire of ambition.

On the contrary, when chatting with his uncle during this period, Liu Xie was more interested in both the newly renovated Chang'an and the Luoyang that was already under reconstruction.

Of course, the city of Chengdu, which was highly praised by the emperor's uncle, is of greatest interest.

Because whether it is Chang'an, Luoyang, Xuchang or Yecheng, they are generally similar.

As a result, Liu Xie wanted to go with Fu Shou to see the scenery of Chengdu, to see what it meant to be the combination of land and water, to see what it meant to be the flourishing of the eight regions, and to see what it meant to be the Chengdu that opened up from the nine heavens.

If possible, maybe he and Fu Shou would have a place to spend their last years...

Burying the last thought deep in their hearts, Liu Xie and Fu Shou changed into simple and decent clothes. After they went out, their attendants came to guide them. After they walked in and out twice, the emperor's uncle said that the place for the group discussion this morning was already in sight.

He waved his hand to signal the attendants to do as they pleased, and then Liu Xie and Fu Shou looked at each other and tidied up their appearance before entering the room.

He could hear the voices of the happy people inside even through the door.

"Brother, do you think Emperor Hongwu is nervous now?"

"Wouldn't it be simpler for General Yide to ask Emperor Hongwu directly about this later?"

"Hey, Military Advisor Xu, I don't know, the Emperor Hongwu seems to have some complaints about me, otherwise, my second brother will ask later?"

"Yide must have displeased the future Hongwu Emperor again, right?"

"You can't take sides. Military Advisor Xu doesn't even know what Emperor Hongwu looks like..."

Later generations? Who was Emperor Hongwu?
Liu Xie paused. If it were Cao Cao, he would probably choose to stand there for a while to see if he could steal some military intelligence. But now everyone sitting in the room was a supporter of the Han Dynasty, and he was in a relaxed mood, so he chose to push the door open and go in.

Leng Feng joined him in the action, and took advantage of the moment when the door was open to sneak in, immediately provoking a flurry of greetings.

"Whoever opened the door, please close it... Hello, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie smiled at Zhang Fei, then pulled the queen in and quickly closed the door.

There were several heaters burning in the house, and each heater had a tube connecting to the outside.

The room was filled with tables and chairs, and there was a rather obvious empty seat at the top. The emperor's uncle was standing beside him, smiling and waving at him. It was obvious that the seat was reserved for him.

After hesitating for a moment, Fu Shou behind him gave him a gentle push, so Liu Xie carefully put aside his past worries, smiled and walked through the middle.

Sitting on the left hand are the civil and military officials under the emperor's uncle, who have basically all been seen at the Little New Year's Eve banquet and the New Year's Eve banquet: the majestic Guan Yu, Zhang Fei who's best not to speak, the handsome Zhuge Liang, the sword-like browed Xu Shu, the graceful Zhao Zilong, the unruly Ma Chao whose dark circles have not yet faded, and the old but still sharp Huang Zhong, etc.

These civil and military officials would basically bow their heads to greet him, but after the greeting most of them would choose to look up at him without hesitation. There was no offense in these looks, but rather they were full of curiosity, as well as some unspeakable...expectations?
He was more familiar with some of the people sitting on his right. There was Xin Pi, who was persuaded to stand on his side during the capture of the city. He was now whispering with his daughter Xin Xianying beside him. Behind him were Geng Ji and Wei Huang. On the day of the incident, it was all thanks to these two people who persuaded Xin Pi to change the situation.

In addition, there is Ji Ping, the imperial physician who successfully prepared Ma Fei San according to the prescription, Wei Feng, who is elegant and graceful, and Jin Yi, a Jingzhao man who has been working in the streets of Yecheng from beginning to end, and the daughter of the Cai family who is now attracting attention in Yecheng with her talent and reputation, and beside her...

Liu Xie unconsciously quickened his pace and walked forward, bending down to support the other person's shoulders: "Doctor Jia..."

He wanted to address him as Taizhong, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he subconsciously used the official title that the person in front of him had given him hope twenty years ago.

Although they relied heavily on the strength of the people in front of them when capturing the city, the two sides had never met each other from beginning to end. Now is the first time they meet after a long separation.

Holding Jia Xu's shoulders, Liu Xie was confused and didn't know where to start. Tears welled up in his eyes first, and he finally sighed:
"Doctor Jia... has been working hard for the Han Dynasty for twenty years."

Jia Xu smiled:

"I am old now, Your Majesty has grown taller and stronger, I am very happy."

As he said this, he beckoned, and Cai Wenji took a small leather bag beside her and stuffed it into Jia Xu's hand. Jia Xu solemnly placed it in Liu Xie's hand:
"I, your Majesty, have finally lived up to your trust."

Liu Xie squeezed the leather bag and could clearly feel the shape of a half jade pendant. This was when Li Jue and Guo Si were in rebellion and Jia Xu stood up to protect the safety of the emperor and empress. Later, after a fierce battle between the rebellions in Hongnong and Caoyang, the couple who survived the disaster wanted to thank Doctor Jia but had no treasure to reward them. So in the end, Fu Shou broke her phoenix jade pendant and gave half of it to Jia Xu, saying that she would hold this half of the pendant to ask for a reward when the country was out of danger in the future.

However, he did not expect that twenty years later, not only had he and Fu Shou not been able to fulfill the promise they had made to Doctor Jia, but they had to use this half pendant to ask Jia Xu for help.

Fu Shou gently pinched his arm, and Liu Xie understood what she meant and pushed it back:

"Doctor Jia, please keep it. My words from the past still count today, and..."

Liu Xie didn't say anything in the end. He just stood up and left and said solemnly:
"Doctor Jia, please take care of yourself."

Fu Shou followed behind Liu Xie and bowed to Jia Xu, who returned the greeting.

For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but stare at the leather bag in Jia Xu's hand, but Jia Xu just laughed, flipped his hand, put it away and disappeared.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but yell:
"Isn't that the red seal and iron certificate of our Han Dynasty?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and patted Zhang Fei on the head with his fan, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.

Xin Pi and his companions could not help wondering: Red Book and Iron Certificate? Could it be that the emperor's uncle's subordinates knew something?
In fact, Liu Xie also had some of Xin Pi's questions. After sitting down, this previously worried man couldn't wait to ask:
"What is the purpose of the discussion today by the Emperor's uncle?"

Liu Bei was dressed simply as well. He even had time to push two opened and warmed cans of food toward Liu Xie and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty's timing is just right."

Liu Xie didn't care much and directly picked up the spoon to scoop out two pieces of fruit pulp. Hearing this, he asked curiously:
“What is just right?”

Liu Bei raised his hand and pointed forward, lengthening his voice:

"Just right is——"

Liu Xie, Xin Pi and others, including Jia Xu, all looked curiously in the direction Liu Bei pointed.

There was nothing there... No, in full view of everyone, a mass of black rolled up in the air, tearing through the air at an unprecedented speed, unfolding a fluorescent light curtain, and at the same time, a human voice was heard.
