Chapter 334 Uncle, help!

"Master Lu, have you entered the palace?"

In General Wei's mansion, Liu Bei heard the guard's report and put down the work at hand.

As a student, even if he was not a disciple receiving classical inheritance, when his teacher came to Chang'an, he should have gone out of the city a hundred miles to greet him, not to mention that Lu Zhi was the Taifu.

But the problem is that since Lu Zhi put down his heavy burden and started interacting with Pang Degong, his temperament seems to have subtly changed compared to before.

Xiang Lang, the governor of Jingzhou, received an imperial edict to appoint Lu Zhi as the imperial tutor.

Xiang Lang immediately sent knights to notify all the post stations and greeted Lu Zhi with a public car, making sure to treat him with the highest courtesy. However, when Lu Zhi arrived at the post station and saw the extravagant display, his face suddenly changed. He scolded Xiang Lang and even said, "If this is the treatment I receive from now on, I will never stay at a post station again!"

This really scared Xiang Lang. He had no choice but to withdraw the order and treat Lu Zhi normally.

Liu Bei was completely confused. His teacher came from a privileged family and had eaten all kinds of delicious food in the Han Dynasty. Why did he feel that the meals arranged by the post station were extravagant and wasteful?

Fortunately, this question was answered soon after.

Before Lu Zhi arrived in Chang'an, Liu Bei was preparing to welcome him. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi sent someone on a fast horse to deliver a handwritten letter. The gist of the letter was that Lu Zhi was tired of the ostentation and there was no need to make a big fuss for him. If he was ridiculed by Pang Degong, where would he put his old face? He just wanted to meet the emperor as quickly as possible, and he must not make any plans to meet him a hundred miles away!
Things had come to this point, and Lu Zhi was known for his uprightness, so how could Liu Bei not respect Lu Zhi's wishes? He had no choice but to take a few guards with him and wait at the city gate.

After waiting for a long time, Liu Bei finally waited for Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi's serious face rarely showed a smile, and they had several cordial exchanges.

Liu Bei also told Lu Zhi about the government affairs that he would deal with in the near future.

Unexpectedly, the amiable Lu Zhi suddenly changed his attitude and said with a stern face: "Xuan De, now you are the general of the guards and enjoy the etiquette and treatment of the three highest officials. Why are you wasting time waiting for me? While I am not angry yet, go and deal with the matters you should deal with quickly and don't pay any attention to me!"

Liu Bei had to part with Lu Zhi, but as soon as he returned home, before he had time to deal with the matters at hand, he heard the news that Lu Zhi had entered the palace.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment. Your Majesty is very talented. If you can let Master Lu know that Liu Li is Liu Xie, the King of Chenliu, it should be no problem.

Since there was no serious problem, Liu Bei simply ignored it. Who would have thought that a guard came to report
"General Wei, the Chief Justice Wu Ban requests to see you!"

"Hmm? Ben?"

Could it be that Ben has encountered another difficult case?
Liu Bei thought to himself that this matter could not be delayed.

"Hurry up and ask the court to correct it."

"promise."

The hurried footsteps left, followed by even hurried footsteps. Liu Bei looked up and saw Wu Ban sweating profusely, as if something terrible was about to happen.

This made Liu Bei secretly feel bad, and he had no time to think about other things. He asked directly: "Ban, what happened? Why are you so panicked?!"

"Huff, huff, huff," Wu Ban panted heavily, "General Wei, something terrible has happened. The King of Chenliu sent palace servants to look for me and ask for help! I think the situation is unusual, so I came to report. I hope General Wei will make the decision!"

"Help."

Liu Bei held his chin high. He really couldn't think of anyone in the palace who could hurt Liu Xie. You have to know that this "boy" dared to denounce the emperor as a tyrant in front of him.

"Forget it, forget it, let's just go for it."

Without the emperor's edict, it is not easy for others to enter the palace.

As for the political affairs at hand.
Liu Bei pondered for a moment and called the guards, "Let Wen Ruowen and Xianhe handle the government affairs on the documents for now."

"Yes." The guard clasped his fists, took the thick stack of government affairs, and left in a hurry.

Liu Bei looked at Wu Ban.

"Ban, follow me into the palace."

"Yes." Liu Bei and Wu Ban followed the palace servants and walked in the Forbidden City in small steps. Even Wu Ban noticed something was wrong. All the palace servants they met on the way were silent.

This made him look at Liu Bei uneasily.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After Liu Bei's comfort, Wu Ban gradually felt relieved.

The two men came to the front hall of the Weiyang Palace. In front of the tightly closed vermilion gate, the eunuch was holding his head and trembling.

Liu Bei and Wu Ban looked at each other in surprise. Wu Ban hurried forward and asked, "Eunuch, what happened?"

Hearing the voice, the eunuch slowly raised his head. When he saw that the person in front of him was Wu Ban, disappointment flashed in his eyes. However, when he saw Liu Bei behind Wu Ban, his dull pupils brightened up again. He grasped at a life-saving straw and said in an anxious voice, "I, I, I can't explain it for a while. Please come in and take a look!"

"?" Wu Ban was completely confused. Why did he feel that the eunuch in front of him made it seem as if the Emperor and the Prince of Chenliu were both going to die?

Liu Bei frowned slightly. Before this, it was Master Lu who entered the palace, and now such a thing happened again. Could it be that Xie was in trouble?

"Is Master Lu here?"

The eunuch nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, the master is inside!"

"Okay, I'll go into the front hall first." Liu Bei nodded.

The eunuch was overjoyed. After he was kicked out, he didn't even dare to touch the palace door, let alone open it to find out what was going on. But he didn't dare, because his uncle didn't dare. Fortunately, his uncle came.

So he quickly got up, called the other eunuchs, and opened the palace door.

"Ban, wait here. I'll be back soon."

After saying this, Liu Bei took a step forward, crossed the threshold and entered the huge front hall.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw several familiar figures. Chenliu King Liu Xie was like a defeated rooster, kneeling in the center of the hall with his head lowered, looking sickly.

The gray-haired Lu Zhi's tone was filled with grief and indignation.

"Your Majesty, the prince's behavior is frivolous. As the saying goes, a beautiful jade needs to be polished. In my opinion, he must be severely punished!"

Liu Bian laughed and said, "Taifu, I think the punishment is just copying some books."

Liu Xie muttered, "I did knock you down. A real man should take responsibility for his actions. I should be punished if I am punished. Why do you make it sound like I committed a heinous crime?"

However, Lu Zhi had excellent hearing. He glared at Liu Xie and said to Liu Bian, "Your Majesty, I think the Prince of Chenliu has no intention of repenting. He must be severely punished!"

Alas, brother Xie, why do you open your mouth? It really annoys me.
Liu Bian was really confused, but when he noticed Liu Bei walking into the hall, he subconsciously said, "Uncle, you are here."

"Huh?" Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei in surprise, "Why was General Wei able to enter the palace quietly?"

Without waiting for Liu Bei to speak, Liu Bian said weakly: "Grandmaster, it is me, I have given you my special permission."

"I see." Lu Zhi nodded.

Liu Xie, kneeling in the hall, shouted loudly: "Uncle, help me!"

However, after hearing the whole story, Liu Bei silently took off his shoes. Liu Xie's face immediately changed and he shouted loudly: "You are the tyrant, you are hurting me! It's all your fault for calling me here!"

Liu Bei and Lu Zhi's faces turned even darker.

Then beautiful singing floated out from the Weiyang Palace.
