I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 25
"Sir Liu Bei, pay homage to Marquis Shi."

Outside the Hall of Chongde, Liu Bei bowed to Liu Bian, not perfunctory at all because of his young age.

After him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also bowed to salute.

"The three are free."

Liu Bian took two steps forward unhurriedly, and raised the arms of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei one by one with his right hand, as if they were supporting each other. Because of the large difference in stature between them, Lu Zhi who was by the side looked a little awkward, but it was undeniable Liu Bian's approachable approach made him very pleased.

He didn't know that at this moment, Liu Bian's heart was full of joy. After all, what was in front of him was Liu Huangshu, Guan Erye, Zhang Sanye, especially Guan Erye, who were all familiar to future generations. How many people worship.

Overjoyed, Liu Bian said to everyone: "This is not a place to talk, let me move to the garden ahead."

Liu Bian didn't know the rules in the palace, so he didn't dare to agree without authorization, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Lu Zhi.

When Lu Zhi heard the words, he also turned his head and glanced at Zhang Rang.

As a Shangshu, he ran to the garden in front of him halfway through the handling of government affairs in the Chongde Hall. This was something Lu Zhi had never done before. Even, if such a thing happened in the past, Zhang Rang would definitely be in front of Emperor Ling. He sued Lu Zhi and tried to remove Lu Zhi from the position of minister.

However, because of Liu Bian's relationship, the two temporarily ceased fighting, so Zhang Rang lowered his head tacitly when Lu Zhi turned to look at him, indicating that he would not take the opportunity to falsely accuse Lu Zhi.

To be honest, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others are not mad dogs, so how could they catch anyone and bite whom?It used to be just for self-preservation.

"Let's go."

Liu Bian made a final decision, and took the lead towards the garden in front. Seeing this, Lu Zhi, Zhao Chun, and Liu Bei also followed.

Including Zhang Rang, he first ordered the two eunuchs accompanying him to go back to the Chongde Hall in case the Emperor Ling woke up midway and no one was calling, and then he also followed. Probably he was not very relieved about Zhao Chun, after all, when Zhao Chun came Chun is young, and secondly, Zhao Zhong is not of one mind with him now, and with Lu Zhi around, he naturally has to take precautions.

Not long after, everyone came to a garden not far away, and came to a stone table. Liu Bian first invited Lu Zhizhi to take a seat, then took a seat by himself, and then invited Liu Bei to take a seat.

There were four stone benches next to a stone table, and there were three people sitting there, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took the initiative to stand behind Liu Bei. Since they were confiscated when they entered the palace, they stood with their hands behind their hands, making them look taller and mightier. , Qi Yuxuanang.

Seeing this, Liu Bian naturally did not hesitate to praise: "He is really a man of tigers!"

Hearing Liu Bian's praise, even Guan Gong and Guan Erye showed a bit of a smile on their faces, and they nodded aloofly in response, while Zhang Fei beside him even grinned and bloomed. The prince of the dynasty is praising them.

Seeing the behavior of his two brothers, Liu Bei was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and he said to Liu Bian repeatedly: "The two brothers, Xiaochen, are people from the countryside and don't know how to be polite. Please forgive me by Marquis Shi."

Liu Bian smiled and waved his hands and said, "Perhaps Master Lu never told you that I was raised among the people since I was a child, and I am not used to the rules in the palace. Why don't I just save some red tape, okay?"

"This……"

Liu Bei didn't dare to agree, but Lu Zhi who was standing beside him stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that Liu Bei was too cautious, Liu Bian took the initiative to talk to him: "Senior Brother... Well, although you and I are quite different in age, we are both Master Lu's disciples, so it shouldn't be rude for me to call you Senior Brother?"

"I absolutely dare not..."

Surprised and delighted, Liu Bei turned to look at Lu Zhi.

Seeing Liu Bian calling him 'Master Lu' from the side, Lu Zhi seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, presumably he admitted it.

Seeing this, Liu Bian asked about Liu Bei's background: "...I heard that brother is also a member of the Han clan?"

"Yes."

Liu Bei endured his joy, and told the story of Liu Bian's familiar background: "The minister is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan..."

"Oh."

Liu Bian pretended to be enlightened, but in fact he certainly knew Liu Bei's background, and even in the novel, Emperor Xian Liu Xie recognized Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle.

Regardless of whether this was Liu Xie's attempt to win over Liu Bei, but Liu Bian was not interested in finding an uncle for himself, and there was no need for him-what was Liu Xie's situation at the time?And what is his situation now?unnecessary.

In short, for the sake of these three being his childhood dreams, it is enough to call Liu Bei a senior brother, and the two sides can talk about friendship in the same generation.

Later, Liu Bian mentioned his second uncle He Miao to Liu Bei: "...Brother, have you met my second uncle?"

"Yes."

Under Lu Zhi's nod, Liu Bei accepted the title of 'Senior Brother' with trepidation, and immediately said respectfully: "The three of us met He Fu Yin yesterday, and I was recommended by Shihou, He Fu Yin called me Henan Captain, Give my two brothers the post of Sima in Biebu.”

Biebu Sima, that is, a special post of Sima. It is not like a normal "Sima" that can control hundreds or thousands of people. The number of soldiers is not fixed. It is also possible to have a thousand troops; otherwise, it may be just a vain job.

However, considering that He Miao had already seen the abilities of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei was recommended by Liu Bian, it was obviously the former situation.

"That's good."

Liu Bian secretly praised his second uncle He Miao's eyesight, and said in a low voice: "I heard from my mother that my second uncle did not come from a very good background. I was often discriminated against by my neighbors, so I gradually became indifferent and didn't like to meet strangers. Today, when my second uncle met Yunchang and Yide, two hubby brothers, he was given the post of Sima in Biebu, which shows that my second uncle is actually very Appreciate you two, I hope senior brother and the two virtuous brothers will not misunderstand me because of my second uncle's indifferent nature."

Is there such a thing?
Liu Bei straightened his face, and quickly assured Liu Bian.

In fact, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei didn't think that He Miao had treated them badly. After all, He Miao directly promoted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from the white body to the other Sima. It was nothing more than seeking a Sima from another department. The reason why Liu Bian emphasized it was to let Liu Bei and others accept He Miao's affection.

In the same way, he called Lu Zhi his teacher, and Liu Bei his senior brother, in order to bind these people to his side with human relations, so that the three of them would not jump ship and go to the camp of General He Jin in the future. It's like throwing a stone at your own foot.

Afterwards, the three chatted for a while, and Lu Zhi said, "It's getting late, let's call it a day. If His Majesty wakes up and finds that I'm not waiting in the hall, it would be a great disrespect."

Liu Bei was very knowledgeable and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

Liu Bian also stood up with a smile: "The rules in the palace are strict, so we won't keep a few senior brothers."

As he spoke, he instructed Zhao Chun, "This time my senior brothers are here to serve in Luoyang, so I don't want to say nothing. You can fetch some drinks from the palace for me and give them to the senior brothers. You have the right to congratulate them.  …Lu Teacher, isn’t this considered a bribe?”

Lu Zhi smiled wryly, and nodded to signal Liu Bei to accept it.

So Liu Bei thanked him happily, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also very happy. Firstly, they came because they could drink the fine wine in the palace. What about this tall branch?
Although Liu Bian is not actually the prince yet, but Liu Bei and others think so in their hearts, including Lu Zhi and Zhang Rang beside him.

After a while, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei left the palace under Zhao Chun's escort.

Zhao Chun sent them to the gate of the palace, and said respectfully: "I don't know where Liu Duwei and the others are staying in the city. I'm so humble that I can send someone to deliver the drinks."

Liu Bei replied with some embarrassment: "The three of us have just arrived in Luoyang, and we haven't found a place to live yet, so we only settled in the posthouse."

"what."

Zhao Chun was a little surprised, and changed his mind and said: "How can a dignified Henan captain not have his own house? So, go back and discuss with my brother, see if there is any vacant house, and give it to the captain."

Liu Bei refused again and again, but Zhao Chun said with a smile: "They are all close to Shihou, why should we divide them?"

At this time Liu Bei also knew that Zhao Chun was Liu Bian's valet, seeing that the other party talked about this point, it was hard to refuse, so he could only bow his hands and thank him.

After Zhao Chun left with a smile on his face, Liu Bei said sadly, "In the old days when the Yellow Turban was flattened, we were unable to hold office for a long time because we had no money to bribe the middle officials in the palace. Today, the middle officials gave us a mansion instead..."

Guan Yu said in a low voice: "It's not suitable to make friends with eunuchs."

"I know." Liu Bei nodded and said, "If I make friends with Zhongguan, how can I be worthy of Zhang Langzhong?"

The doctor Zhang he was talking about was Zhang Jun, the doctor who showed his merits for them back then. When Lu Zhi hosted a banquet for Liu Bei and the others yesterday, Liu Bei also mentioned Zhang Jun at the banquet, and said he would go to visit and thank Zhang Jun's old kindness.

At that time, Lu Zhi was silent when he heard this, and later told Liu Bei that Langzhong Zhang Jun failed to impeach the eunuch in the palace, but was framed by the eunuch, falsely accused of colluding with the Taiping Dao, and died in prison.

This made Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei very sad.

From the side, Zhang Fei said puzzledly: "I see that child is very intelligent, and behaves like an adult, why does he favor eunuchs?"

"Shh!"

Liu Bei was startled, and quickly glared at Zhang Fei: "That's the prince, don't talk nonsense."

After that, he thought of what Lu Zhi said to him yesterday, shook his head and said: "Master Lu is here to deal with the palace affairs, so I don't need to worry about it. I'd better do my job well."

"What brother said is very true!" Guan Yu nodded.

At the same time, Liu Bian, Lu Zhi, and Zhang Rang had also returned to Chongde Hall.

Not long after sitting down, a young eunuch hurried in and gestured for Zhang to let him go.

Zhang Rang understood that the memorial had arrived somewhere.

Glancing at Lu Zhi who was still dealing with government affairs, Zhang Rang walked out of the hall calmly.

Sure enough, there were eunuchs standing outside the hall, and the leader, Xiao Huang, handed a memorial to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang opened it and saw that the first column in the memorial read: Han Sui of Liangzhou killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou, with [-] troops, and attacked Longxi; Li Xiangru, the prefect of Longxi, and Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan. Instead, make peace with Han Suilian...

"Snapped."

Zhang Rang closed the memorial, terrified.
