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

Chapter 355 It’s someone’s turn for promotion!

"Uncle, you are finally here, but you have kept me waiting for so long."

In the front hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Bian, who was sitting on the throne, was delighted to see Liu Bei coming. However, when he discovered that there seemed to be a familiar figure missing beside the eunuch, a strange expression appeared on his face.

His eyes darted around, making sure he wasn't dazzled, so he asked.

"Why don't you see Prince Chenliu?"

Liu Bian's casual question startled the eunuch so much that he fell to his knees with a flutter. His lips trembled and a trembling voice came out, "Your Majesty, I failed to take good care of the Prince of Chenliu, which led to the Prince of Chenliu saying nonsense in front of General Wei. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

“Nonsense.”

Liu Bian chewed on this word. If Xiao Huangmen was talking about someone else, he would probably suspect that Xiao Huangmen was lying. But Liu Xie
It seems to be something Liu Xie could do.
Liu Bian was already accustomed to Liu Xie's behavior, but he didn't know what shocking words he said this time.

Liu Bian asked in a gentle voice: "Tell me, what did the Prince of Chenliu say?"

The eunuch glanced at Liu Bei, and seeing that Liu Bei did not look at him, he gritted his teeth and told the truth, "The King of Chenliu said that he and General Wei will be brothers from now on.
Liu Bian's face suddenly darkened. He suppressed his impulse and looked at Liu Bei, "Uncle, can you trust what this person said?"

"Your Majesty, what this man said is true." Liu Bei nodded.

silence
deathly silence
Even though Liu Bian was so good-tempered, he clenched his fists. Who was Liu Bei? He was the younger brother appointed by the late emperor, and he was the wise elder of their clan. To be so rude was simply unfilial!
But as he thought about it, Liu Bian lowered his head and wondered if he had been too indulgent towards Liu Xie?
Through the mouth of the palace maid who was supervising him, he learned that Liu Xie, who was studying under Lu Zhi, was often depressed.

His hardened heart softened at that moment. He turned a blind eye to Liu Xie's departure from the palace. This time, he asked Liu Xie and Xiao Huangmen to go and invite Liu Bei together.

Could it be that he was wrong again this time?
Liu Bian, who was in deep self-doubt, looked up at Liu Bei standing in front of him and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, am I really wrong to treat my brother like this?"

The eunuch quickly covered his ears. He was shouting madly in his heart, "I didn't hear anything!"

"Your Majesty, I think it is natural for an elder brother to love his younger brother. It is human nature. Your Majesty, what's wrong with that?" Liu Bei, who noticed that something was wrong with Liu Bian, gave full affirmation and continued, "But I have heard that without rules, there will be no order. Teach your younger brother what is right and what is wrong, punish those who are wrong, encourage those who are right, and do the right thing at the right time."

"So that's how it is. So that's how it is. I guess my uncle taught my brother a lesson for me." Liu Bian muttered to himself. As he continued to mutter, his expression became noticeably more relaxed. He smiled at Liu Bei, "Listening to my uncle's words is better than reading for ten years. I completely understand, Little Eunuch."

The eunuch loosened his hands that were tightly covering his ears and replied respectfully, "I am here!"

"The matter of Prince Chenliu has nothing to do with you. It is all my fault."

"When the condition of Prince Chenliu's buttocks improves, I will hand him over to the Grand Tutor. From now on, no matter how much Prince Chenliu complains, he will not be allowed to leave the palace while he is under the Grand Tutor's instruction!"

"Yes!" the eunuch responded quickly.

Liu Bian waved his sleeves at the eunuch and said, "Go away. I have something important to discuss with my uncle."

The eunuch stood up stumblingly as if he had been pardoned and quickly left the palace.

"Uncle, I have met the Grand Commandant before, and he said that you are a pillar of the country." Liu Bian said with a smile.

Liu Bei replied modestly: "It is the Grand Commandant who is showing me such kindness."

Although the Grand Commandant was one of the Three Dukes, in the current Han Dynasty, there was no Grand Commandant who was also the Recorder of the Secretariat. Most of them were honorary titles with noble status, but they did not have much power. How could Liu Bei not hear the true meaning of Liu Bian's words? It was clear that he wanted to say that Liu Yu recognized him and would not interfere too much. He came to Chang'an to spend his old age.
However, Liu Bo'an was quite talented in governing government affairs.
"Your Majesty, the people of Youzhou praised the Grand Commandant's governance of Youzhou. As the saying goes, an old man in the family is like a treasure. I think the ministers should learn from the Grand Commandant's experience in governance."

Liu Bian listened to Liu Bei's words carefully. He felt a little surprised at what Liu Bei said. Even though Liu Yu was very capable, he couldn't handle Gongsun Zan properly. He always had some flaws. How could he compare with Liu Bei?

However, out of his reliance on Liu Bei, Liu Bian nodded and said, "Let's follow the emperor's uncle." "In addition, I have previously met Zhang Mengzhuo, one of the eight chefs. Zhang Mengzhuo is wise and public-spirited. I think he is qualified to be the Grand Master of Rites."

Dahonglu, one of the Nine Ministers.

It was first established by the Qin Dynasty and was named Dianke.

Initially, he was in charge of the kings under his jurisdiction coming to the court, counties and kingdoms reporting their affairs, enfeoffment of princes and leaders of ethnic minorities, etc., which were mostly related to etiquette. Later, he became an official in charge of supporting rituals and music.

Appointing Zhang Miao as Grand Herald was undoubtedly a promotion, as he was capable enough for the job.

Thoughts kept colliding in Liu Bei's mind.

"This way, we can show the generals in Guandong that I will not punish those who abandon darkness and join the light, but will promote them. However," Liu Bian's voice continued, and he said with some concerns: "Zhang Mengzhuo came here at the invitation of Cao Mengde. If Zhang Mengzhuo is promoted, what will Cao Mengde do? Uncle, if I appoint Cao Mengde as the Grand Minister of Rites and Zhang Mengzhuo as the Grand Minister of Rites, what do you think?"

Liu Bian's tone revealed hesitation and he was completely unable to make up his mind. Liu Bei could feel that if he shook his head and said no, Liu Bian would completely deny everything he had said before.

But Liu Bei could tell that these words were clearly the result of Liu Bian's careful consideration, and at first glance there seemed to be nothing wrong with them.

Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were both talented people. To be honest, they were much better than his third brother. More importantly, Zhang Miao helped many people and had a very good reputation.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei nodded and gave strong affirmation, "I think it is feasible, Your Majesty is wise."

"good!"

Liu Bian was so delighted that he couldn't stop smiling. This was the recognition of his uncle!

"In that case, come and convey my order!"

曹府
"Father, is the Prince of Chenliu really my uncle?"

Facing Cao Ang's question, Cao Cao nodded helplessly, thinking: Ang'er, not to mention you, even Pi'er is the nephew of the King of Chenliu.
Cao Cao didn't want to delve into this issue, so he changed the subject and asked, "Ang'er, how is Pi'er?"

Cao Ang recalled carefully and told Cao Cao about Cao Pi's performance one by one.

The more Cao Cao listened, the more he frowned. This boy was not the genius that Xuande mentioned at all. He was even a little stupid. There was not much time left before he turned eight.

As he thought about it, Cao Cao became more and more nervous, feeling that there was some evil spirit chasing him from behind. He immediately made a decision, "No! How can I watch a person like Huo Piaoyao waste his talent! I must find the best teacher in the world for Pi'er!"

"Ang'er, quickly ask your master Shi Yishi to come over!"

"Go immediately and teach Pi'er martial arts!"

Cao Ang: Ah?

Father, are you being too hasty?

Four-year-old sword practice?

This is ridiculous!
