Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 439 The first meeting between Liu Xie and Liu Bei

Liu Bei, coming to see Liu Xie this time, the meeting between uncles and nephews is a bit late.But coming, it's better than not coming, Liu Xie blinked his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then told Li Yan: "Announce them to come in."

But Li Yan did not take the order to go out, but said to Liu Xie on his own initiative: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for Xiaopei for six days, and Liu Xuande only came to see him at this time, which is a disrespect for a monarch and minister. It is suggested that the guards of the five senses be ordered to display the ritual of axes, axes, and knives to blame Liu Xuande for his crime of disrespect."

What Li Yan said was not aimless.In fact, most of the advisers and generals who returned to the Han Dynasty had an inexplicable dissatisfaction with Liu Bei.The reason is actually very simple. Let’s not talk about whether Liu Bei’s rush to aid Xuzhou is for fame or not. Just saying that he kept telling himself that he was a member of the Han Dynasty, but he came so late this time, it is impossible for these people in the Han Dynasty to have any good feelings for Liu Bei. .

The so-called ritual of the axe, axe, and knife gate is to make the soldiers hold the axe and axe in a staggered formation at the entrance of the audience.Those with a clear conscience will pass under the knife gate with an open mind, while those with sneaky hearts will inevitably shrink back and dare not go forward.This kind of formation is undoubtedly quite unfriendly, and it can even be said that it shows that the master has the intention of killing the visitors.

But for Li Yan's proposal, Liu Xie's answer was very quick and straightforward. He waved his hand and said, "No need, these formal things look scary, but usually the result is often counterproductive."

Hearing that Liu Xie refused with such a reason, Li Yan nodded thoughtfully before accepting the order and retreating.

Soon, under the guidance of Li Yan and Zhao Yun, the three entered slowly.Liu Xie wasn't wearing a mian suit at this time, but a brocade robe over a battle armor. He casually placed the battle report returned by Sima Yi on the table, and then naturally raised his eyes to look at the leader.

Liu Bei Liu Xuande, the future Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, is 34 years old this year, and he really has a good face.Although he was born in a poor family, his face is like a crown jade and his skin is delicate.A pair of black and bright eyebrows, as thick as ink dye, spread out like wild goose wings, inserting obliquely into the temples.However, between the corners of the brows, the traces of the passing years still cannot be concealed.A pair of beards on the lips, obviously carefully groomed, the beard under the chin is long and elegant, hanging down naturally.

Moreover, Liu Bei did give birth to a pair of very blessed earlobes, although his life was not lucky, but more setbacks and ups and downs.His arms are also very long, and his figure is well-proportioned, which is a good body for a second horse to fight.

But these are not important, what is important is that Liu Bei's pair of eyelashes are beautiful, and his eyes are even more clear like stars, which makes him look a little more handsome.But there is always a hint of confusion in this pair of eyes that should be very godly, as if they are lamenting, as if they are sad, as if they are pitying everything in this miserable world, and they seem to be pitying himself .However, when people looked at him, the confusion would disappear, and a friendly smile would soon appear.

Since Liu Xie traveled through time, he has naturally seen many heroes in troubled times.And this Liu Bei, who ruled the roost alongside Cao Cao, may not be the best in appearance, but he is definitely above average.

After all, it is impossible for a person admired by Zhao Yun to have a wretched face.On the contrary, Liu Bei's inadvertent confusion and sadness, and his sudden kindness when facing people, gave him an indescribable affinity.It's as if this is a person with a lot of stories, but he doesn't want to tell you, but when he sees you, he will show sincere warmth.This kind of charm can no longer be simply summed up by appearance, it should be included in the ranks of temperament.

In Liu Xie's previous life, the face-to-face meeting was only superficial, it was purely a hobby.He believes that the saying 'the face is born from the heart' has some truth, but at the same time, he also knows that a person has too many personalities that he doesn't even know, and a face can't reflect everything.

The first meeting between people is more influenced by psychological mechanisms.When a stranger comes into your sight, his appearance, behavior, expression and even clothing will immediately give people a perceptual cognition, and store it in your brain as the first impression.And this kind of subjective personality speculation brought about by the first impression, even if it is thousands of miles away from the facts, people will still involuntarily speculate and analyze from the personality impression he thinks as the starting point.

People in previous lives are also aware of this phenomenon, and business etiquette courses have also emerged, the purpose of which is to make people get a good first impression from others and gain certain advantages for themselves.

However, Liu Xie's first impression of Liu Bei was not good, even though Liu Bei had an above-average appearance and an inadvertently infected charm.The reason is not in Liu Bei's face, expression, manner, etc., but in Liu Bei's clothes.

Liu Bei didn't wear a leather hat, but wore a Jianhua crown in the attire of a musician. What's more, Liu Bei also ingeniously gathered up his hair in front and inserted a black lacquer hairpin, leaving the hair behind his ears uncombed and let it hang loose behind his head. .In this way, when walking outside, it will fluctuate with the wind, chic and elegant.

During this meeting, Liu Bei wore an apricot-yellow cropped collar cardigan with gold trim and gold thread, embroidered flowers on the top, and a snow-white shirt on the inside.What's even more unusual is that he has big sleeves that are three feet wide and swings like a gentleman.

Strictly speaking, this attire was not excessive, but the problem was that this brocade robe was brighter than Liu Xie's brocade robe.Liu Xie was naturally aware of the history books saying that Liu Bei preferred the US service, but when he actually saw this scene today, he still felt that Liu Bei was a little too exaggerated.

Perhaps, Liu Bei, who was born in a poor family, used this as his support when he was in trouble; perhaps, he wanted to borrow a brocade robe, so that the people around him could have a little respect for his peace.More likely, there is no reason for this at all, it's just that he likes luxurious clothes by nature.

But no matter what the reason was, Liu Xie was slightly taken aback, but quickly ignored this, and calmly accepted the salutes from Liu Bei and the other three: "The governor of Yuzhou, Liu Bei, pays his respects to His Majesty."

"Uncle Huang, please get up quickly." Liu Xie got up and gave a little support. His expression was not eager, but he could not be said to be indifferent: "Since Uncle Huang has taken the post of Xuzhou Shepherd, why does he still call himself the governor of Yuzhou? You know, the current Yuzhou , counting the emperor's uncle, but there are already three governors... this is not a good seat."

But when Liu Bei heard that Liu Xie called him the emperor's uncle and talked about Xuzhou's affairs, his body that was about to get up suddenly bowed down on the ground again, and said with a panicked face: "I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, so I have repeatedly corrupted the dignity of the Han Dynasty. Tao Shijun died of illness in a hurry, and the people of Xuzhou were waiting for food. In addition, the murderous minister Yuan Shu had a rebellious intention, and repeatedly raised troops to invade and harm the people. He was entrusted with reluctance to do his best, and he had the right to herd Dongtu for a while. All he did was to protect the environment and the people. I have other ambitions. Now that the Son of Heaven has come to Xuzhou personally, I should return to the imperial court and obey the orders."

Liu Bei said these words very slipperily, obviously he had prepared the draft in advance.Liu Xie secretly laughed in his heart, and still addressed Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle, saying: "The emperor's words are wrong, the world is in chaos, and the people of Li are in danger. It is time for people from the Han Dynasty like me to jump out and turn the tide, stabilize the country and stabilize the country, so that the descendants of Liu's surname will not be wiped out." ambition."

When it comes to Liu Bei's clan relatives in the Han family, Liu Xie really wants to laugh, but he just can't laugh.

At this time in the Han Dynasty, the children surnamed Liu went everywhere. Whether Liu Bei is really a Han family clan is actually very doubtful.Not to mention anything else, just say that the ancestor he recognized, King Jing of Zhongshan, was a well-known high-yielding household in the Han Dynasty. His son alone gave birth to more than 120 sons, scattered all over the place.Especially after the titles of Liu Sheng's 11 sons were abolished by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his families moved one after another to avoid disaster, resulting in confusion in the genealogy. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was no longer possible to know who was whose descendant.

As a result, Liu Bei, a peddler who weaves mats and sells shoes, may be considered a social parasite, self-reliant, and self-reliant model worker in later generations, but he was looked down upon in the Han Dynasty.However, he also emphasized everywhere that he was the empress of King Jing of Zhongshan. The consequences of such emphasis, coupled with the living treasure ancestor he recognized, would probably make people laugh.

But it is such a person who is looked down upon everywhere, regarded as a person with little ability, but step by step from under the big mulberry tree in Zhuojun County, promoted from small officials such as county lieutenants and county magistrates, and with thirty talents He became the prime minister of a country at a young age, and now he has become a heavyweight who affects the war situation in the Central Plains. Although he has the help of his fellow disciple Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei's own talent can also be seen.

Therefore, people in the world can laugh at Liu Bei's poverty and his downfall as a member of the Han family.But Liu Xie didn't dare to look down on Liu Bei. After all, there are so many people with the surname Liu, why is there only one such awesome Liu Bei?
The meeting between the two, until this time, the atmosphere is still very relaxed.But under the manipulation of political interests, it will soon be broken.In particular, beside Liu Xie, there is Li Yan who thinks he has understood Liu Xie's thoughts...
