Chapter 46: The Hero of the World, Liu Xuande

"Why, have you two heard of Liu Bei? He shouldn't have much strength now."

No matter how much Liu Xie didn't have a deep impression of the Three Kingdoms, he probably knew that Liu Bei seemed to have started to make a fortune after the Battle of Red Cliffs. Before that, he seemed to have been doing very miserably.

Zhang Yu solemnly said: "Who in the world disrespects Duke Xuande's reputation? Although the old slave is an eunuch, he dare not ignore such a hero."

Queen Guo nodded repeatedly, completely like a silly girl hearing her idol's name.

Even Xun Yue sighed: "Oh, when today's turmoil and a hero who is worthy of being a hero is probably the only one who is not guilty of it."

These three people were so shocked that Liu Xie was confused.

Liu Bei's reputation has reached this point?

Queen Guo said: "I heard that when Duke Xuande attacked Yuan Shu's rebels in Huainan, he was attacked by Lu Bu in the rear and left food out. When this man led the army all the way, there was no grain of food in the army. However, this man could restrain the team from mutiny. Those who did not starve to death survived by eating the bodies of their companions who starved to death, but did not commit any offense to the people along the way and did not rob. Is this true? Are there really such kind people in the world?"

(This historical material is from the Heroes' Records. Although I don't believe it rationally, this book was written in the 13th year of Jian'an. The author Wang Can and later became a figure in Cao Wei. It can rule out the self-proclaimed elements, and the credibility should be quite high.)

"But there is this incident. Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, who claims to own half of Xuzhou, decided to marry his sister to Duke Xuande because of this incident, and funded Duke Xuande with two thousand servants and all the money in the family to help him survive this crisis. Unfortunately, Xiahou Dun was really incompetent and failed to save Duke Xuande, causing his family to fall into the hands of the evil thief of Lu Bu."

When Zhang Yu and Queen Guo heard Xun Yue say this, they sighed at Mi Zhu's loyal and righteous behavior, only Liu Xie said in his heart.

He really didn't know about this.

He had always known that Liu Bei had the reputation of benevolence, but he had never been particularly clear about how this reputation came about. When he read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he even felt that this person seemed quite hypocritical, but he never thought that the word benevolence was so moving in specific examples.

In fact, the ancients may not be stupider than modern people. Liu Bei wandered around in the first half of his life and suffered repeated defeats, but no matter how he lost, he seemed to be able to pull up the team and make a comeback at any time. After all, the votes around him were also the elites of the people who have never left each other. How could he be fooled by the so-called superficial skills of false benevolence and righteousness?

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang all took him in. The people knew that this big ear could not control it and could not live in the middle of the people for a long time. Don’t they know? Yuan Shao was so crazy before Guandu, and he was almost going to be the emperor. When he heard that Liu Bei came to vote, he was obediently out of the city and welcomed him 200 miles away?

Strength? When Liu Bei voted for Cao and Yuan, Liu Biao, he had a lot of strength. Who would like to see his defeated generals who were two miscellaneous? But this person was too famous and too heavy. Therefore, even though the backbone on Liu Bei's head was almost growing on his face, he had to treat him with courtesy.

Of course, Liu Bei's reputation lies in his benevolence, and it seems that he has never been loyal. The nickname of the boss killer has not wronged him. Anyone who he defects to will be in trouble.

So in the following time, Liu Xie excitedly pulled Xun Yue to talk about Liu Bei for the afternoon.

Then the handwritten letter written by Jia Xu in Xun Yue's pocket was not sent out.

Liu Xie was already quite curious about Liu Da'er, but now he heard Xun Yue say this, he became even more curious.

Therefore, when he heard that Liu Bei had entered the city, although it was already night, he immediately sent Zhang Yu to invite someone in person and invited him to Beigong for a lecture.

"My dear Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou, bow to the emperor."

What a good guy, his ears are really big. If this person is fatter, he will be like Maitreya Buddha.

This is Liu Xie’s first impression of Liu Bei.

"Uncle Emperor quickly cleared up, Zhang Yu, come and give him a seat."

As soon as he said that, Zhang Yu and Liu Bei were both confused and had not moved for a long time.

"Son of the Emperor, what are you calling me?"

"Uncle Emperor."

When Liu Bei heard this, he knelt down to Liu Xie and kowtowed quickly.

"My...My...My..." After a long time, Liu Bei was speechless.

Where did the emperor come from?

"I am just an ordinary royal family, the emperor, and I will be defeated by the subordinates."

Liu Xie was also stunned for a moment.

Then try hard to recall the content of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

When did Liu Bei call Liu Huangshu?

Damn, I forgot.

Is this a joke?

So Liu Xie had to go down and hold Liu Bei's hand and help him up, saying, "It's both a royal family and my elder, and naturally I'm the emperor's uncle. The emperor's uncle is well-known. It's a blessing for the heavenly family to have heroes like the emperor's uncle in the royal family. Come on, uncle, let's sit down and chat. By the way, uncle, you have worked hard all the way and haven't eaten yet, right? Zhang Yu, come on, let's take a tin plate, I want to make a teppanyaki for the emperor to taste."

Liu Bei swallowed.

Of course it was not greedy, and I was a little agitated by the Emperor's inexplicable uncle's words.

In fact, Liu Xie in history could not call Liu Bei the emperor's uncle at all. Not to mention whether Liu Bei's so-called descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan was true or false. As for Liu Bei's generation, it is not certain whoever calls him uncle. Besides, the royal family of Liu's surname has gone to the fore. For four hundred years, no one has recognized this kind of so-called royal family that has produced five sermons for countless generations.

This thing is not in line with etiquette and law.

But since they have been called out, Liu Xie naturally cannot take it back, so... it doesn't matter.

After a while, the iron plate, charcoal, and ingredients were brought up by Zhang Yu. Liu Xie rolled up his arms and sleeves to show off his cooking skills.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was naturally even more frightened and said, "What kind of virtue is the subordinate? He has to work the emperor to cook himself? This..."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, you can't roast this thing. Today, I will only talk about the rituals of uncles and nephews, not the rituals of the monarch and ministers. Come on, the rituals of the emperor and uncles, try my skills."

So Liu Xie barbecued meat for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei ate dizzyly, and didn't even know what he was eating. He was completely confused.

How come I, a mat and footwear seller, became the emperor’s uncle?

"Uncle Emperor, is it delicious?"

"Ah? Ah, delicious, delicious, and you will prepare the delicious delicacies you have tasted throughout your life, and that's not much."

"If you eat more delicious food, I really don't have any precious wealth in my palace. I don't even have any official position. I only have this kind of cooking skills and can do it."

"I, thank the emperor for his kindness."

"Hey hey hey hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you kneeling down again when we have dinner? Let's not talk about the ceremony of uncle and nephew today? Have a meal."

Liu Bei didn't know what he remembered, but two lines of tears were left behind, and in a short while he was crying.
