When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 212 Liu Xie
"My brother, you are always thinking of me. You are truly a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and my good brother!"

"But don't worry, brother."

"The selection of the governor is of utmost importance. I will make the final decision after repeated consideration. Don't worry, my dear brother."

"Liu Yu, Liu Bo'an, Liu Yan and Liu Junlang are all relatives of the Han Dynasty."

"With the three of you helping me, the Han Dynasty will surely prosper!"

"My dear brother, I hereby appoint you as the governor of Jingzhou, Guan Yu, the Marquis of Hanshouting, as the chief historian of the Western Regions, and Zhang Fei, the Marquis of Duting, as the captain of the Qiang Guard!"

Liu Bei walked out of Yutang Hall in a daze, as if the "family dinner" just now was just a dream. He couldn't even remember the taste of the dishes. Did Liu Hong listen to his advice?
I listened, but only a little.

When Liu Bei thought of Liu Hong's words, he felt a headache. They sounded like words that only a king of a fallen country could say.

He truly deserves the posthumous title of "Ling".

As for Liu Hong's thoughts, there is no need to think too much. Liu Bei can see the clues at a glance. If he becomes the governor of Yizhou, Yizhou and Liangzhou will be connected. Not to mention the emperor, even the officials in the court will be unable to sleep or eat.

The arrangements made by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were naturally intended to ensure the stability of Liangzhou and the Western Regions.

As if to make compensation, Liu Hong asked Liu Bei who would be in charge of the two counties of Jincheng and Hanyang in Liangzhou.

Without thinking too much, Liu Bei mentioned 'Zhao Yun' and 'Jia Xu'.

"Never mind, never mind. It's my duty to mention it."

Shaking his head, Liu Bei didn't think any more about it. Now he just had to wait for Liu Hong's edict to come down. Once the edict came down, he would set off for Jingzhou.

"Jingzhou"

Looking at the thin clouds clinging to the sky, Liu Bei sighed, "It feels like a dream."

Patting his frozen face, Liu Bei thought of a person, Liu Yu Liu Bo'an. According to the original trajectory, this man could be called a gentleman, and it was really heartbreaking that he was harmed by Gongsun Bogui. He also didn't want Gongsun Bogui to become such a stranger.

Just as Liu Bei was thinking, passing through the heavy palace gate and stepping into the pavilion area, he suddenly heard a cold snort.

"Humph"

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with a broad nose, a high build and strong shoulders, walking away with disdain in his eyes.

The inexplicable hostility left Liu Bei confused. He had only been in Luoyang for a short time and had not made enemies everywhere. He also had no memory of such a person.

The sudden sound attracted Liu Bei's thoughts.

"General, General, wait for me, wait for me"

General?
When Liu Bei heard this title, his thoughts instantly became active. Most generals were relatives of the emperor, so the identity of this person was self-evident. The general was He Jin.

"May I ask if you are Xixiang Hou Liu Xuande?"

The scholar who had been shouting "Great General" stopped chasing and stopped in front of Liu Bei.

"Exactly. Who are you?"

While Liu Bei clasped his fists, he was also looking at the person in front of him. This man was handsome, with a well-maintained beard, a pair of bright eyes that revealed confidence and pride, and he had a unique temperament all over his body.

"My surname is Yuan Shao, my given name is Benchu, I am from Runan, and I am currently serving as an official under the command of the general."

"It turned out to be Yuan Jun"

Liu Bei did not expect that today he would not only meet his childhood friend, but also Yuan Shao, who was a three-generation official.

Yuan Shao clasped his fists and apologized, "Marquis Xixiang, I apologize for my offense just now. The general has been worried about the succession recently, so I was irritated. I didn't mean to belittle you."

"A successor?"

"That's right? Marquis Xixiang, do you want to know the reason?" Yuan Shao looked around, afraid of being heard. He leaned close to Liu Bei's ear and was about to speak.

Liu Bei took a step forward and walked towards the distance.

He said bluntly: "Not interested."

The emperor had three sons, two boys and one girl. The princes were Liu Bian and Liu Xie.

Liu Xie's mother, Concubine Wang, was poisoned by Empress He, so Liu Xie was raised by Empress Dowager Dong. During the family banquet, Liu Hong mentioned Liu Xie to Liu Bei more than once, but did not mention Liu Bian at all, as if he intended to make Liu Xie the crown prince.

Liu Bei, who had read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, knew that the two princes were alive and well, and he had neither the energy nor the mind to care about who would be the heir.

Didn’t Lu Xun get into trouble over the issue of succession?
Seeing Liu Bei leave, Yuan Shao didn't say much.

He Jin, who was hiding in a shadowy corner, walked up to Yuan Shao and asked, "How is Benchu? Has your majesty mentioned the succession to the throne to Liu Xuande?"

"Probably not," Yuan Shao shook his head.

"Benchu, think carefully and don't be fooled by Liu Xuande!"

"."

Yuan Shao was speechless. He Jin had always been courteous to others, so why did he become like this now? Liu Xuande had not provoked him, so where did the inexplicable hostility come from?

He took a deep breath and said, "General, when I was living and studying in Luoyang, I made friends with heroes all over the world. I can tell the difference clearly. When I tried to test Liu Xuande, he didn't even want to listen and turned away."

"Is this true?"

"really."

Yuan Shao’s answer made He Jin frown even deeper.

This puzzled Yuan Shao, so he asked, "General, do you have any connection with Liu Xuande?"

"Not at all." He Jin shook his head. He looked at Liu Bei's receding figure and gritted his teeth and said, "It is ridiculous that a weaver of mats and a shoe seller has transformed himself into your Majesty's brother and even attracted the admiration of Luoyang scholars."

"." Yuan Shao looked down on me: Aren’t you also a butcher?

Liu Bei returned to his mansion and fell silent as he looked at the luxurious carriage in front of the door.

Whose frame is this?

With a lot of doubts in his mind, Liu Bei stepped into the mansion and was about to ask his personal guards who the visiting guest was.

A palace maid walked out leading a child.

The scene became weird.

Liu Bei and the boy stared at each other.

The first to speak was the palace maid, who bowed and shouted, "Greetings to Marquis Xixiang. Following the order of the Queen Mother, I have brought the prince to pay my respects to Marquis Xixiang."

刘协
Waves of dizziness surged into his head and Liu Bei couldn't help but rub his forehead. He didn't want to deal with such things in the first place, but now trouble had come knocking on his door.

What was even more unexpected was that Liu Xie stretched out his short legs and ran to Liu Bei.

He followed suit and bowed to Liu Bei, opening his mouth and making a cracked sound.

"Xie, meet the Emperor's uncle!"

Liu Bei said, "No need to be polite."

Unexpectedly, Liu Xie said seriously: "They all say that the emperor's uncle is a great hero."

There is no need to say who they are. Liu Xie grew up in the palace and was either a palace maid or a eunuch.

"So what do you think of me after seeing me with your own eyes?" Liu Bei asked, "Compared to the two generals in the room..."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Liu Bei to ask this question. Even the palace servants who tried to give advice were interrupted by Liu Bei's sharp eyes.

He thought about it for a while and replied, "I think that the emperor's uncle is neither as tall as General Guan nor as strong as General Zhang, so he should not be as powerful as them."

After he said this, everyone in the palace was so scared that he even wanted to apologize.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei touched Liu Xie's head.

What an honest prince.
