Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 48

Inside the manor.

The wine is fragrant.

Pingyuan King Liu Shuo is in his forties this year, and in two or three years, he will reach the age of knowing his destiny.

Although he is the younger brother of Emperor Huan, Liu Shuo is not interested in official career, and the only pleasure in his life is drinking.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Liu Shuo as a drunkard.

Because of this, Liu Shuo often made mistakes because of drinking. Ma Guiren used to take charge of this family affairs.

After Ma Guiren and Emperor Huan passed away one after another, no one restrained Liu Shuo, and he could drink the wine as he wanted.

Liu Shuo's eldest sister, Princess Yiyang, was married to the Kou family, and her second sister, Princess Changshe, was married to Geng Yuan.

Another younger sister was married to the Guo family in Yingchuan.

However, due to the war, the Guo family in Yingchuan was affected. Liu Shuo's younger sister and brother-in-law died in the war, leaving only a female named Guo Zhao who was fostered in Liu Shuo's house.

Liu Shuo treats Guo Zhao as his own, closer than his own children.

Since the death of Ma Guiren and Emperor Huan, Guo Zhao is also the only one who can persuade Liu Shuo when Liu Shuo is drunk.

"Uncle Ziping, my father has been talking about you for a long time!"

A young man dressed in brocade and satin greeted Liu Ziping. It was Liu Shuo's eldest son, Liu Jun, named Ziling.

Liu Ziping laughed loudly: "Brother talks about me, it must be because he lacks drinking friends again. Ziling, since you are the eldest son, you should drink more with your father."

Liu Jun subconsciously wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead: "Uncle is joking, my nephew doesn't dare to drink with father."

While exchanging pleasantries, Liu Jun looked at Liu Bei, Zheng Ping, Zhang Fei and Sun Qian who were behind Liu Ziping, secretly thinking that they were extraordinary.

Although I have never seen it before, whether it is Liu Bei, Zheng Ping, Zhang Fei, or Sun Qian, they are all rare heroes in the world, and their temperament is very outstanding.

Liu Ziping recommended to Liu Jun one by one, and then leaned closer to Liu Jun, gestured with his hand, and lowered his voice: "Go to find brother, let him come out to see his nephew and son-in-law."

Liu Jun glanced at Liu Bei in surprise: "Uncle, have you ever mentioned to Liu Bei about Cousin Guo's past?"

Even though Liu Jun and Guo Zhao had known each other since they were young, they married their late husbands three times before leaving the court, and they still had some palpitations about Guo Zhao.

"Of course I mentioned it." Liu Ziping understood Liu Jun's meaning.

In an instant, there was a hint of admiration in Liu Jun's eyes.

Anyone who knows Guo Zhao's past and dares to propose marriage, regardless of his fame and family background, must be a real hero!
Knowing that Liu Ziping recommended a hero to marry his niece Guo Zhao, Prince Pingyuan Liu Shuo was very excited.

As the fourth husband of my niece, Liu Shuo is very picky.

After all, if you don't pick someone who is brave and tough, you might die suddenly again.

Even Guo Zhao couldn't help coming to see Liu Shuo ahead of time when he heard the news, and wanted to hide behind a screen to see this true hero who dared to propose marriage.

banquet hall.

Liu Ziping walked in vigorously, and greeted Liu Shuo with both hands: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, you've gained weight again."

"Well, you Liu Ziping, you're cursing my king!" Liu Shuo had a fleshy face and a rather plump figure.

Liu Ziping said with a smile: "Brother Yu dares to scold Elder Brother, this time he found a real hero here for Elder Brother, even Prime Minister Chen is ready to give up the position of Prime Minister Ping Yuan to him."

Liu Shuo looked behind Liu Ziping in surprise: "Chen Yuanfang doesn't want to be the Prime Minister of Ping Yuan?"

Liu Ziping nodded: "The specific reason, brother Yu will explain to brother later, let brother Yu introduce."

"After Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, the grandson of Liu Xiong, the former county magistrate of Fan County, the son of Liu Hong, the official of Youzhou, the disciple of Lu Zhi, the former Shangshu, and Liu Bei, the current Gaotang magistrate, is named Xuande."

"The Great Confucianist of Beihai, the second son of Zheng Xuan, Zheng Ping, the county magistrate of Gaotang County, his character is obvious."

"The Great Confucianist of Beihai, the high disciple of Zheng Xuan, the meritorious Cao Sun Gan of Pingyuan County, with the style name Gongyou."

"As well as Liu Bei's brother-in-law, Zhang Fei, a brave warrior with undeserved courage, named Yide."

After a pause, Liu Ziping lowered his voice again: "Brother, Liu Bei is here this time to ask to marry his niece, Guo Zhao."

Liu Shuo looked at everyone back and forth, and his eyes fell on Liu Bei who was outstanding in appearance.

He was seven feet and five inches long, with his hands down to his knees, and he could see his ears. His figure was tall and straight, and he looked like a brave man.

And Liu Bei is neither humble nor overbearing, and his brows are self-possessed and quite heroic.

"Not bad!"

"Not bad!"

"Not bad!"

Liu Shuo brushed his short beard, and had a good impression of Liu Bei at first sight.

"Did Ziping tell Liu Bei about Xiao Zhao's past?" Liu Shuo also lowered his voice.

Liu Ziping nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, brother, how can a foolish brother be sloppy in his work?"

"Speaking of which, Xuande's life was full of fate, but with his indomitable perseverance and unswerving determination, he was able to break into Gao Tangling's foundation from a single body, which is quite inspirational."

"Even if he went to the battlefield and was seriously injured, he still saved his life."

Liu Ziping concisely introduced Liu Bei's life to Liu Shuo, especially when talking about Liu Bei's attack on Zhang Chun in Yuyang, being tired by the generals, and finally survived, Liu Ziping emphasized his tone.

"It's not dead yet?" Liu Shuo's eyes suddenly became enthusiastic.

Those who can survive on the battlefield have extremely hard lives.

This means that there is no need to worry about being restrained by Guo Zhao to Kefu.

"Haha!" Liu Shuo got up enthusiastically, and invited Liu Bei to the table: "I heard that Xuande is also a clan member of the Han family. If he marries the king's niece, it will be a more intimate relationship."

At this time, Liu Shuo only had Liu Bei in his eyes, and his words flowed like beads. When he asked about Liu Bei's past, Liu Bei also answered them one by one, sincere and calm, which made Liu Shuo appreciate Liu Bei even more.

This chat lasted for half an hour.

It wasn't until Guo Zhao who was behind the screen sent a maid to inform Liu Shuo that he hadn't finished.

"Xuande, this king doesn't like to play charades with others." Liu Shuoman drank his drink, pointed at the back of the screen and said, "To tell you the truth, my niece is behind the screen."

"She asked me to ask you, what are your ambitions?"

Liu Bei was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the screen.

This is the first time I was asked about Dazhi by a woman!
But Liu Bei knew that King Pingyuan's niece was not an ordinary girl.

That is the daughter of the princess!
After a pause, Liu Bei's eyes became firm, and he said boldly: "The Han Dynasty is in ruins, the world is in chaos, and I am overwhelmed. I want to apply justice to the world and return peace to the people."

"Report to the country, and go to An Lishu, so that you will not fall into the ambition of a man!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of praise from behind the screen.

"The ambition of a man should be in the world, such a man, the concubine admires him so much!"

"Uncle, you decide!"

Liu Shuo laughed loudly: "Xuande, my niece has always been very high-minded, and today she can say such words of admiration, it seems that it must be you!"

"Ziping, on behalf of the king, send a message to the counties and townships in Pingyuan County that the king's niece will marry Gao Tangling Liu Bei someday!"

"The king's niece, the dowry is also indispensable!"
