The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

Then Liu Zhaoqing walked towards the study of the new mansion.

"After Lu Bu sent the emperor and his entourage here, he left..."

Wang Yun’s words still echoed in his mind.

After Liu Zhaoqing arrived at the study, he immediately found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After grinding the ink, he picked up the pen and started writing.

The recipient of the letter was Liu Yu. In addition to explaining the consequences of the anti-Dong movement and the possible chaos in the world in the future, the most important thing in the letter was to ask Liu Yu to protect Lu Hong.

The reason why this urgent letter was written was because of Lu Hong, or rather, it was because of the worry that Lu Bu would go looking for Lu Hong.

Although Youzhou is quite a distance away from here, Lu Bu has a Red Hare to ride, so it would take her less than an hour to complete this distance.

Moreover, after Lu Bu left on her own initiative, Liu Zhaoqing couldn't think of where she would go, and the most likely possibility was that she went to find her sister.

In the previous hall, Lu Bu became a little thoughtful, so it is not difficult to imagine that it will take some time for Liu Zhaoqing to return to the city.

Isn't this period of time the best time for her to take her sister away?

After writing the letter, Liu Zhaoqing immediately asked his servants to find a falcon and release it.

Frowning as he watched Xin Falcon leave, Liu Zhaoqing clenched his right hand slightly.

Although there is no need to worry about Lu Hong's safety even if she is really taken away by Lu Bu, Lu Bu himself is an unstable factor and it is still too dangerous for him to be around her.

"I hope nothing happened."

It would take some time to get a reply, so Liu Zhaoqing planned to go out to meet Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and to visit the soldiers on the expedition, in order to boost the morale of his subordinates.

However, shortly after leaving the mansion, Liu Zhaoqing met Liu Bei.

"Hmm? Sister Xuande?"

Liu Bei nodded to Liu Zhaoqing and explained his purpose.

"Your Majesty wants to see you?" Liu Zhaoqing was slightly surprised.

About half a moment later, Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Bei got on the carriage again and returned to the governor's residence.

At this time, more guards were added inside and outside the mansion. Although passers-by were a little confused, they didn't understand why there were so many guards in the mansion.

But no one would have thought that the reason for the additional guards was the emperor in the mansion.

They would just think that Han Fuzhou Mu, who had been rumored to be ill before, was probably ill again, so naturally more guards were needed.

Coupled with the control of Tian Feng and Ju Shou, it is conceivable that there will be rumors in the city tomorrow that Han Fu's madness has worsened.

When Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Bei got off the carriage, soldiers came to greet them.

"It looks like there are quite a few more people." Liu Zhaoqing said after getting off the car and looking around, "Is this all arranged by Tian Feng?"

The soldiers bowed their heads and clasped their hands in a very respectful manner: "Reporting to Lord Liu, it is indeed arranged according to the arrangement of Tian Zhubu, and in addition, each sentry has a rotation, so that every corner inside and outside the mansion is patrolled all day long."

He nodded slightly, Tian Feng could still arrange this matter properly.

Liu Zhaoqing signaled Liu Bei to follow him, and then he and Liu Bei walked into the mansion one after the other, as the soldiers on both sides bowed their heads and saluted.

The emperor's wish to see Liu Bei was conveyed to Liu Bei by the guards in the palace.

As for how the message reached Liu Bei's ears from the soldiers' mouths without going through Liu Zhaoqing, it was because the person who delivered the message was one of the officials who came with the emperor.

This behavior clearly shows two things. First, the ministers around Wang Yun did not completely trust Liu Zhaoqing. Second, the emperor did not want to put all his hopes on himself.

These two points are actually very normal if you put yourself in their shoes. If Liu Zhaoqing were someone close to the emperor, he would probably do the same, so Liu Zhaoqing was not too angry.

The reason why Liu Bei immediately told Liu Zhaoqing was that he felt that this was his territory and Liu Zhaoqing should know about this matter.

And the key point is that Liu Bei did not want to be suspected by Liu Zhaoqing. If he went to see the emperor privately, even if it was just for a simple chat, Liu Zhaoqing might misunderstand something when he heard it.

For many reasons, Liu Bei went to find Liu Zhaoqing as soon as he heard the news.

Now, Liu Zhaoqing entered the mansion with her again, walked through two corridors, and came to a small courtyard.

"Chang... Marquis Ping and Prime Minister Liu."

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Liu Zhaoqing saw a familiar figure.

The female general wearing a golden phoenix mask was personally guarding the gate of the courtyard. When she saw Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Bei, her eyes behind the mask showed surprise.

It seems that she didn't know the news that the emperor summoned Liu Bei.

"Sister Xuande and I will go to see His Majesty again. Thank you for your hard work." Liu Zhaoqing nodded and said.

There is no need to let everyone know about the ministers' little thoughts. While saving some face, coming here in person like now can also give them a direct hint and a warning.

Any minister who was not mediocre could immediately know that the real boss here was Liu Zhaoqing, and they should not even think about doing anything small under his nose.

Zhang He put away his surprise after hearing this, and then told Liu Zhaoqing about the personnel deployment in the palace and the ministers who had recently entered and left the emperor's room.

Because the emperor also needed to dress, wash, and eat, but because he left the capital in a hurry without any attendants, the ministers around him became temporary attendants.

It was also because of this that Zhang He did not doubt the ministers coming in and out.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhaoqing still did not let Zhang He call on several servants in the mansion to serve the emperor. That would imply too much surveillance. There was no need for him to create tension or misunderstanding with the forces around the emperor.

Let Zhang He record all the people who enter the emperor's palace in the future, and order his subordinates to report to him immediately.

Then Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Bei entered the courtyard together and soon arrived at the emperor's side room.

After Liu Bei knocked on the door and got the emperor's consent, she pushed the door open quietly.

The emperor in the room had changed into a suitable casual suit with a dark red base and gold edges. His eyes lit up slightly when he saw Liu Bei, but soon after he saw Liu Zhaoqing behind him, surprise appeared in his eyes.

He didn't expect Liu Zhaoqing to come.

"Your Majesty, I am Liu Bei, the Prime Minister of Pingyuan State, and I am here to greet you." Liu Bei entered the room with his head lowered, and came to a place not far in front of the emperor's chair, and knelt down to kowtow.

"Prime Minister Liu, please stand up quickly." The emperor jumped from his sitting position to the ground to help Liu Bei up.

Seeing this, Liu Bei immediately stepped back and said, "I am unworthy of such kindness from Your Majesty. I am deeply terrified."

“This…it’s okay, and we’re not in the palace now…” The young emperor stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Liu Zhaoqing on the side immediately understood that the emperor was still the same emperor he had seen before, and he did not have any special intentions towards him.

"Your Majesty is right. We are not in the palace now, so please do as Your Majesty pleases, Sister Xuande." Liu Zhaoqing on the side also spoke at this time.

Liu Bei looked up at the emperor, then lowered his head again, but still stood up and stood aside.

Liu Zhaoqing was not surprised by such a respectful demeanor, but Emperor Liu Xie felt a little restrained.

"Sister Xuande and I were just discussing something, so we came here together. I wonder why His Majesty summoned Sister Xuande, and whether I can help?" Liu Zhaoqing asked with a bow.

He explained the reason why he came with Liu Bei, and at the same time asked Liu Xie indirectly why he was looking for Liu Bei.

"Is that so? That's perfect." Liu Xie smiled and looked up at Liu Bei, who was several heads taller than him. "I heard from Mr. He that Prime Minister Liu is as loyal as Marquis Changping."

"I dare not be compared with Marquis of Changping..." Liu Bei said immediately.

Not to mention Liu Xie, Liu Zhaoqing also felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"Achievements do not judge loyalty by its nature. Although Sister Xuande has not yet made any achievements, her loyalty to the Han Dynasty is evident to all, and she has always been a role model for me," Liu Zhaoqing said.

Liu Xie nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes, yes."

"Whether it's Prime Minister Liu or Marquis Changping, they are the last loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty."

"And Mr. He also said that Liu Guoxiang is a relative of the Han Dynasty?"

When asking this question, Liu Xie's big eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.

This was the real reason why he wanted to meet Liu Bei, and the minister was just going along with it.

From this perspective, this matter is just a small matter and there is no need to do anything alone.

Liu Zhaoqing also had an idea in his mind.

Back to the question asked by the emperor, Liu Zhaoqing turned his head to look at Liu Bei. It seemed that the "Emperor recognizing his relatives" incident that happened in his previous life happened again this time.

But due to changes in the world line, or Liu Zhaoqing's interference, it was advanced many years.

During the turbulent times at the end of the Han Dynasty, many princes ignored the imperial power, and even members of the royal family, such as Liu Yan, wanted to share the remnants of the Han Dynasty. In the eyes of Liu Xie and others, a royal family member who was loyal to the Han Dynasty, such as Liu Bei, was indeed more shining than gold.

In a sense, the "loyalty" shown by Liu Zhaoqing is not as powerful as that of a "relative of the Han royal family."

"Your Majesty, I am indeed a relative of the Han Dynasty, but... only a distant relative." Liu Bei bowed his head and told Liu Xie about his life experience as a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan.

As a descendant of the direct lineage, Liu Xie was of course familiar with the history of his family, and he was also very clear about "King Jing of Zhongshan Liu Sheng".

The most famous ability of this prince in the early Han Dynasty was not that he always liked to tell tales to his good cousin Emperor Wu of Han, or that he was a talented person with great achievements in literature or martial arts.

Instead, he likes wine and women and is too fertile.

This ability has left him with more than one hundred direct descendants. Now, more than three hundred years have passed, and the descendants of the one hundred or so people have long since grown to a number that is too large to be counted.

"I heard that Prime Minister Liu was born in Zhuo County. Maybe his ancestor was one of the direct descendants of King Zhongshan Liu Sheng?" Liu Xie guessed after thinking about it.

He did not doubt Liu Bei's words, because both the number of Liu Sheng's descendants and Liu Bei's background matched.

The most important thing is that if Liu Bei was a relative of the Han royal family, it would be a hundred benefits for him and no harm at all.

At least now he has a "relative" he can trust.

There is no family affection in the royal family, but at the end of the dynasty, the only people Liu Xie could trust were the ministers around him and relatives who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.

"I don't know who my ancestor is the heir of the Prince of Zhongshan..." Liu Bei bowed his head and said ashamedly, "By the time of my generation, our family had already fallen into decline. I once wove mats and sold shoes for a while to make ends meet."

"Is that so?" Liu Xie had not expected Liu Bei to be so miserable, but he immediately comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay. Aren't you fine now?"

After saying this, Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "Since Liu Guoxiang is the descendant of the King of Zhongshan, my mother and teacher once taught me that according to seniority, I should call you..."

Coming?

Liu Zhaoqing, who had been silent on the side, was quite looking forward to it. He was even more excited than when he saw Han Fu being humiliated before.

It was like being able to participate in a movie scene you’ve watched countless times for the first time.

"…call her…" Liu Xie thought about it, still sorting out the relationship, and suddenly figured it out. He immediately said, "Call her 'Aunt'?!"

"Ah?" Liu Bei raised his head with a surprised look.

She really didn't expect Liu Huihui to call her that.

Liu Zhaoqing, who was standing by, also said quickly: "Your Majesty, 'Aunt' is the name for the wife of your father's brother."

Liu Zhaoqing didn't expect that Liu Xie thought for a long time and still called the wrong name.

But this is harmless. Liu Xie thought about it and said, "Yes, in terms of seniority, she should be of the same generation as my father, so I should call her 'Aunt'."

"That is to say, Prime Minister Liu is my... ahem, my 'imperial aunt'!" At this point Liu Xie also knew that this was a serious occasion for recognition of relatives, so while he was happy, he did not forget to change his self-proclaimed name to a formal one.

Liu Bei was extremely surprised to hear this title. This was a great honor, and it undoubtedly directly strengthened her status as a relative of the Han royal family, which was already marginalized to the point of being irrelevant.

"minister……"

"Aunt, why are you still so reserved? I will be unhappy if you continue like this." Liu Xie said in a pretended serious tone.

Seeing this, Liu Bei had no choice but to bow his head and say: "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

From then on, there was no longer any doubt about Liu Bei's identity as a relative of the Han royal family.

As a witness, Liu Zhaoqing also smiled and found it quite interesting to see this family recognition scene in person.

Fortunately, I didn’t take a rest, otherwise I might have missed this historic moment.

But just when Liu Zhaoqing was enjoying himself, Liu Xie's eyes suddenly shifted from Liu Bei to him.

Then Liu Zhaoqing saw Liu Xie’s big eyes staring at him, as if there was something on his face.

This situation made Liu Zhaoqing a little confused, while Liu Bei on the side seemed to have noticed something, but did not say anything. He just waited for the little emperor to continue.

Liu Xie looked at Liu Zhaoqing for a while, and before Liu Zhaoqing could ask, he said, "I remember... Marquis Changping is also from Zhuo County, right?"

"To be honest, I can't remember my origin. My father took me to escape famine when I was a child. We went to many places, but I should have been born near Julu, because my father took me back to Julu before he left." Liu Zhaoqing replied.

"Julu..." Liu Xie thought for a moment and said, "It's not far from Zhongshan State."

Uh……

Liu Zhaoqing also seemed to guess what Liu Xie wanted to say.

But he really hadn't thought of this scenario, this...

"If that's the case, then it's very possible that Marquis Changping is also a descendant of King Zhongshan!"
