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

Liu Xie thought more and more that it was possible, and walked back and forth in the small room: "No wonder my father trusts you so much and even grants you the title of Marquis of Changping."

"So that means that Marquis Changping is also my uncle, my 'imperial uncle'!"

How did he become the emperor's uncle?

Before Liu Zhaoqing could figure it out, Liu Xie clapped his hands.

"That's right!" He said with a smile, "Today is a really good day. Not only do I get to recognize the Emperor's sister-in-law, but the Marquis of Changping also becomes my uncle. I have to have them record it and celebrate it every time this day comes in the future."

"Your Majesty, it's 'imperial aunt', not 'imperial sister-in-law'." Liu Zhaoqing came back to his senses and quickly reminded.

The change of this word represents a very different meaning.

Liu Xie also remembered after hearing this: "Yeah, but it's almost the same, right?"

"Anyway, she can be the emperor's sister-in-law. As long as Uncle Zhaoqing and Aunt get married, we can call her that." Liu Xie said with a smile.

When Liu Zhaoqing heard this, he quickly said to Liu Bei: "This is just a joke, Your Majesty..."

Although Liu Xie was the emperor, he was still a child under ten years old at heart. After living a repressed life in the palace for a long time, he escaped from the palace and came here, where he lived a more independent life and gradually began to show his childish nature.

Therefore, Liu Zhaoqing did not want Liu Bei to misunderstand and take Liu Xie's innocent words as a sacred edict.

But unexpectedly, Liu Xie put his hands on his waist and said seriously: "Uncle, what are you talking about? You are not joking. I am not joking."

"Although I am young, I have already felt a gift from heaven. I can see the feelings of the emperor's uncle towards my aunt, unless this gift from heaven is bad..."

Liu Zhaoqing opened his mouth and said, "Is there such a gift from heaven?"

Liu Bei, who was standing by, saw Liu Zhaoqing's slightly embarrassed look in front of the emperor with his hands on his hips, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although this atmosphere is against etiquette, it is more real.

It was her, Zhao Qing, and His Majesty who all expected it to be.

Chapter 345: Selecting a Genius for Liu Bei 4K

After coming out of the emperor's room, Liu Zhaoqing was filled with emotion. The two times he met Liu Xie were only less than an hour apart, but Liu Xie's mood changed as drastically as heaven and earth.

The reason is not difficult to guess. Although his life in Luoyang was not as shabby as it is now, he lived in the imperial palace, ate imperial meals, and had a large number of palace maids and attendants to serve him. However, under the surveillance and control of Dong Zhuo and the influence of ministers, he could not make decisions on his own most of the time.

On the contrary, Liu Xie can now relax a lot.

"Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood. I thought he would be panicked or nervous." In the wooden corridor, Liu Bei's expression also showed a hint of sigh.

"This is one of the few good things for the Han people..."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded as he walked forward: "Your Majesty's condition is indeed very important. Hongnong Wang Bian has passed away, and the Mandate of Han has returned to heaven and earth. Your Majesty can be said to be... the only remaining symbol of the Han Dynasty."

If Liu Xie were still alive at this time, he could still persuade the princes of the world to not dare to rebel against the Han Dynasty, at least on the surface.

If he also died or had mental problems, the only remaining "name" of the big man would disappear.

Although Liu Zhaoqing did not attach as much importance to the Han Dynasty as Liu Bei, for his own interests, as long as the Han Dynasty still existed in name, he could profit from all aspects for one more day.

Not only did he need some time to develop and integrate Hebei, he himself was a marquis of Han, and this time he was strangely given the title of "Emperor's Uncle".

It can be said that anything Liu Zhaoqing does now can be done in the name of "righteousness".

The late emperor personally bestowed the title of Marquis of Changping of the Han Dynasty on him. The current emperor personally acknowledged him as his uncle. He holds the integrity of Emperor Gaozu and is in possession of the shattered Chixiao artifact.

With all these "buffs" added up, even the current Han Dynasty leader, the legitimate uncle of the emperor Liu Yu, would probably not be able to compare with him.

The most important things in troubled times are land and talent. The former requires soldiers, and recruiting soldiers requires money and reputation.

Not to mention the latter, reputation is the most important thing to attract talents.

Just like Yuan Shao, although her territory is not large now, no one would think that she is a weak person, because the reputation of the Yuan family and herself is so high that outstanding soldiers and men would even come to her automatically.

Now all the fame Liu Zhaoqing has accumulated is related to the Han Dynasty. Unlike cities, this is something that cannot be conquered and taken away by others.

Relying on this "righteousness" and "reputation", Liu Zhaoqing had the foundation of a true hero in troubled times.

In addition, Liu Zhaoqing himself did not have any aversion to the Han Dynasty. Having seen through history, he knew that no dynasty could exist forever.

The Han Dynasty, which had been in existence for nearly four hundred years, had experienced both glory and lows. In these final moments, he was willing to stay by her side and let her rest in peace.

Liu Bei, who was following Liu Zhaoqing's footsteps, also felt the inexplicable aura emanating from Liu Zhaoqing at this time.

When I looked up, I found him standing there looking at the red leaves in the yard.

"Zhao Qing...?"

"Sister Xuande, now the Han Dynasty... seems like these fallen leaves, it is difficult to return to green." Liu Zhaoqing said softly.

Liu Bei had thought about this a long time ago, so he didn't remain silent for too long.

"Support the Han Dynasty..." Liu Bei opened his mouth and sighed slightly.

"I used to think that it could be done with the help of all the talented people in the world and people of insight coming together."

"But now, after Zhao Qing and I rebelled against Dong, the Han Dynasty lost its destiny, and the various princes were caught up in chaos and fighting for supremacy. I also understood that if I really wanted to achieve the goal of restoring the Han Dynasty..."

“First, we need to become stronger.”

With people like Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Jian Yong and Tian Yu from Pingyuan County, reviving the Han Dynasty is just a joke.

"Let's take it step by step. Although I'm not a true relative of the Han royal family, my goal is to let the Han people in all parts of the country live and work in peace and contentment. Only in this way can I be worthy of the title of marquis bestowed upon me by the late emperor." Liu Zhaoqing smiled at Liu Bei.

"Also, Sister Xuande, don't underestimate yourself. You are a person born in a dragon-born land. You will definitely be able to rise to prominence and achieve great things."

Liu Bei just thought that Liu Zhaoqing was just comforting himself.

After all, she also knew that although dragon-born spirits were very rare, and there were indeed legends about true dragons inheriting the destiny of heaven, but in troubled times, who cares whether you are a dragon-born spirit or not? What matters is that you have a big force and a strong fist.

Even if you are weak, you might be targeted by others if you possess this kind of earth spirit.

"Really, I didn't lie to Sister Xuande." Seeing that Liu Bei didn't believe him, Liu Zhaoqing immediately said.

"Then can Zhao Qing create a hero similar to you to help me achieve success?" Liu Bei asked.

Now Liu Zhaoqing was speechless. How could he perform a magic trick to make a living person?

Fortunately, Liu Bei was just joking and smiled immediately: "Okay, don't mind it, I was just talking casually."

"I am aware of Zhao Qing's good intentions. I also understand my current strength. I am so weak that I can't even be ranked among the eighteen princes."

As she spoke, her eyes did not show any sadness, but instead were filled with smiles: "However, with Zhao Qing as an example, I just need to move forward step by step."

Liu Zhaoqing's current level was achieved step by step through his hard work, and Liu Bei certainly understood this.

Seeing this, Liu Zhaoqing felt relieved.

"That's right. Knowing it's impossible but still doing it firmly, this is the charm of Sister Xuande."

"Really...?" Liu Bei didn't expect that he had such "charm".

However, Liu Bei was obviously not well prepared for this topic.

She was nodded and praised by Liu Zhaoqing, who admired her for coming here firmly for the ideal of Kuang Han even though she knew that she would not gain any benefit from participating in the anti-Dong coalition and it might even hurt her foundation.

There are also those who are rare among the princes and love the people. Just by entering the city pass and not allowing the soldiers to burn, kill and loot, he is better than 90% of the princes.

In short, the more Liu Zhaoqing talked, the more she felt her heart pounding, and she always felt ashamed that she was not as good as Liu Zhaoqing said.

So after Liu Zhaoqing finished praising for a while, he took the initiative to shift the topic back to the emperor.

"Speaking of which... although Your Majesty likes Zhao Qing very much, and ministers such as Wang Yun also treat Zhao Qing very well, Zhao Qing still needs to be on guard." Liu Bei said.

This change of subject was a bit awkward, but Liu Zhaoqing's praise of Liu Bei was meant to cheer her up and help her face the bright future.

Now she looks rosy and not at all depressed, so her goal has been achieved.

Liu Zhaoqing didn't need to worry about it anymore, so he just went with the flow and continued the topic, nodding and answering, "I know that. Wang Yun and the others may not intend to oppose me, but I'm afraid of some villains instigating them, or they may have made a mistake in judgment."

No one is perfect. Even Liu Zhaoqing makes mistakes in judgment, let alone these old ministers.

Maybe the old ministers will suddenly have a flash of inspiration, clap their hands and say something like “Your Majesty! I have an idea.”

Then the emperor would be exposed, or more serious consequences would occur, thus affecting Liu Zhaoqing's own layout and development.

Even if they didn't mean to do it, it would obviously be an unfavorable outcome for them.

"I have not imposed any restrictions on Wang Yun and others' meeting with Your Majesty, but the guards under the charge of General Zhang He will not be reduced or withdrawn. After today, I also plan to send two more secret guards outside Your Majesty's door." Liu Zhaoqing said.

Possessing the hidden gift of guards will not only make the emperor feel comfortable, but will also allow him to be the first to know if any of his senior ministers have suddenly come up with any strange ideas.

"I think this is enough, right?"

Liu Bei thought about it and said, "I think it's enough."

"But, Your Majesty is still young, so why not have one or two attendants around him?"

"I've thought about this, but I'm afraid he'll feel like he's being watched." Liu Zhaoqing said, "He's in the palace, and the attendants around him are probably all Dong Zhuo's spies. He's in a much better condition now. If it happens again, he might end up like Han Fu, and that'll be troublesome."

This is not impossible, and Liu Zhaoqing does not think that the emperor must have attendants.

"But I will tell Zhang He to tell the soldiers outside the gate to help or assist Your Majesty if he needs anything. That should be all."

Liu Zhaoqing felt there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.

But Liu Bei hesitated: "If I remember correctly, the soldiers here are all men, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled. Being a guard or a servant, there should be no difference between being a man or a woman, right?

Seeing Liu Zhaoqing's eyes, Liu Bei opened his mouth slightly again, seeming surprised.

But soon, she seemed to understand something, and a smile suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Sister Xuande...what are you laughing at?" Liu Bei's sudden smile made Liu Zhaoqing feel a little creepy.

"I'm not laughing at Zhao Qing. As for why I'm laughing..." Liu Bei put away his smile, and then actually kept it a secret and said:

"... Zhao Qing will know in the future."

"Uh……"

When Liu Zhaoqing was feeling a little puzzled, Zhang He also came in from outside the yard and said that she had found the minister who had entered the emperor's room before, and asked Liu Zhaoqing if he wanted to do anything.

Of course Liu Zhaoqing waved his hand and let the matter go.

The minister obviously just had a good idea suddenly come up with, and had no intention of harming anyone. His statement was enough to stop him from having similar ideas again.

At the same time, Liu Bei suddenly asked Zhang He if he could take care of the emperor. In other words, if the emperor needed anything or encountered any difficulties, Zhang He would personally go into the wing room to help.

Like Liu Zhaoqing, Zhang He's eyes behind the mask were also full of confusion.

However, Liu Bei said that the emperor had a special status and it was right to be rigorous and careful. This reason convinced Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang He.

Liu Zhaoqing asked Zhang He to temporarily serve as Liu Xie's "personal bodyguard", and Zhang He certainly had no objection to this.

In this way, Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Bei walked out of the mansion together.

"Isn't Zhao Qing going to see Han Fu?" Liu Bei asked before getting on the carriage.

Liu Zhaoqing shook his head: "Nothing to see."

He rushed back to Yecheng in order to see the emperor, so he had no mood to see a madman.

"With Tian Feng's arrangement, he is not only safe and worry-free in a small courtyard, but also has no worries about food and drink. If I go to see him, he might get stressed out and die of anger on the spot."

"Huh? Is it so serious?"

Liu Zhaoqing spread his hands helplessly: "There's nothing I can do, he's just so narrow-minded, otherwise he wouldn't have gone crazy."

Liu Zhaoqing can be said to be Han Fu's nemesis. Ever since he first met Liu Zhaoqing, Han Fu has been unlucky and frustrated everywhere.

Of course, a large part of this was due to Han Fu's own actions.

Liu Yu was an example. It was obvious that as long as we didn't provoke Liu Zhaoqing and cooperated with him, we could get along well with each other, but he insisted on making himself his enemy. Not only that, he also always did some weird things.

If he doesn't destroy it, who will?

"Sister Xuande, please get in the car. Please stand here for a while. Many people will come to watch soon." Liu Zhaoqing said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei tilted his head and looked around, and sure enough, there were quite a few passers-by looking at them.

After entering the carriage, Liu Zhaoqing first sent Liu Bei back to his residence to rest.

Sitting in the carriage, the long-lost peace made him close his eyes and he couldn't help but want to take a nap.

Liu Bei, who was standing at the side, saw that Liu Zhaoqing looked a little tired, and remembered that Liu Zhaoqing had not stopped at all along the way.

He led the army to break through the passes one after another, and when attacking the city, he tried his best to call on water dragons to break through Luoyang. Then he fought Dong Zhuo all the way back to Yecheng. Liu Zhaoqing's body at this time might be... No, it should be said that he must have a lot of injuries.

Somehow, Liu Bei suddenly remembered the "request" that Liu Zhaoqing had said to him before.
