Liu Bei also arrived at the palace and went to court together just now.
But after retiring from the court, Liu Xie first wanted to see Cao Cao, which made him a little worried. He was thinking that he would not be favored by his majesty, right?
"Will not!"
Liu Bei comforted himself in his heart.
However, he remained in the palace and did not leave for the time being.
If His Majesty does not see him, he can ask to see him in person later.
Just when Liu Bei was thinking this, Cao Cao came out, walked towards him, and said with a smile: "Xuande, you are still here. Your Majesty asked me to tell you that I want to summon you."
"real?"
Liu Bei was pleasantly surprised, but he quickly endured his inner joy and said, "I am about to ask to see your Majesty."
After saying that, he strode inside.
In fact, after he came to Xudu, he secretly spread his identity as the emperor's uncle. Many people had long known that he was the emperor's uncle, and even the emperor thought so.
Entered the main hall.
When Liu Bei saw Liu Xie sitting in front of him, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Bei, pay homage to your Majesty."
"Uncle, there is no need to be polite!"
Liu Xie asked Liu Bei to sit down and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, our clan members from the Han Dynasty."
Liu Bei pretended to be flattered and said: "It is an honor for me to be summoned by His Majesty."
Liu Xie smiled slightly and added: "I heard that when Dong Zhuo's traitor held me hostage in Luoyang, the emperor's uncle joined the coalition and came together to attack Dong Zhuo."
When Liu Bei heard this, he said solemnly: "At that time, I heard that your majesty was trapped. Without saying a word, I led my two sworn brothers, recruited local braves, and came to Hulao Pass to join the alliance with everyone. In order to save your majesty, I also fought with Lu Bu's , had a great battle.”
"I know this too."
Liu Xie said excitedly: "I heard that outside Hulao Pass, the emperor's uncle and his two sworn brothers almost killed Lu Bu's men!"
Mentioning the highlight moments of the three brothers, Liu Bei's face lit up, but he simply modified the version of the three heroes fighting Lu Bu, mainly to highlight his heroic image, saying: "Actually, it was a pity at the time! Lu Bu's fellow is indeed very strong, but Chen and his second brother Guan Yunchang are enough to deal with it. The third brother Zhang Yide saw that we were fighting so hard that he couldn't help but come out to fight. If he hadn't stepped in, and his strength was not enough, Chen and his second brother would have been needed. Take care of him, I killed Lu Bu at that time."
In fact, if he hadn't picked up the two-pronged sword and followed him around.
Shutting down Zhang and Zhang might knock Lu Bu down.
Of course Liu Bei couldn't tell this fact.
As a heroic uncle, maintaining your image is very important.
"good very good!"
Liu Xie couldn't help shouting after hearing this.
I didn’t expect that I would have such a heroic uncle. It’s really great!
If such an imperial uncle can come to Luoyang to save him when he returns from the east, it will definitely be much better than staying with Cao Cao.
But it's not too late now. With Liu Bei's support at his side, it will be easier to resist Cao Cao and break away from Cao Cao's control in the future.
Such a heroic uncle is really good.
However, he didn't know what Liu Bei's ambitions were.
He believed that Liu Bei was the emperor's uncle and they were all relatives of Liu Han. They would definitely help each other and jointly support the Han Dynasty and would not do anything to usurp the Han Dynasty.
"I have an imperial uncle, so why worry about the world being unfair!"
Liu Xie said with great joy.
Liu Bei stood up, bowed and said loudly: "I will do my best to help your majesty calm the world and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty."
"Good uncle!"
Liu Xie saw the hope of the big man again.
The task of reviving the great Han Dynasty will definitely become a reality in his own hands.
Next, Liu Xie stayed with Liu Bei, talked about many things, and even left people to eat.
Liu Bei looked flattered again.
However, he always remembered Chen Gong's various instructions and believed that he should not drift in Xudu. You must know that this is still Cao Cao's territory and must be stabilized in order to win.
When the time is right, you have to leave Xudu and go to the wider world outside to recruit troops and realize your ambitions.
Their thoughts are different.
——
After Cao Cao left the palace, he sent someone to tell Chen Zhou that he was planning to get married again.
But as soon as he returned home, Cao Ang came to ask Gao Shun to leave, and began to make weapons and armor to prepare for the battle with Yuan Shao.
After hearing that it was Chen Zhou's arrangement or to deal with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao said nothing and asked Cao Ang to do whatever he wanted, but he had to do it according to Chen Zhou's plan.
Given enough support.
When Chen Zhou got the news that Princess Xiangcheng was going to marry him, he didn't know whether to refuse or agree.
But in his heart, he definitely agreed.
Princess Liu Ling of Xiangcheng, whom I met during the Spring Festival, was very beautiful.
If someone offers you a beautiful woman, can you refuse?
Of course not.
At least Chen Zhou couldn't refuse, unless he hated Princess Xiangcheng, but he didn't hate her.
A girl is sweet and soft, who can refuse her?
"Husband, what do you think?"
Cao Shan asked softly.
Before Chen Zhou could speak, Qiao Shuang said, "From my husband's expression, he must agree. How could he refuse?"
Chen Zhou smiled and nodded, Shuang'er still understood him.
Cao Shan thoughtfully said: "As long as your husband likes it, my father also agreed to it for me. Now I can only agree, but the marriage between Ying'er and Shuang'er has to be postponed."
Qiao Ying said: "It doesn't matter to us. If we can live in my husband's home, we are already married. There is no rush for anything else."
Qiao Shuang echoed: "Me too."
Qiao's twin sisters also considered Chen Zhou very much.
Of course Cao Shan is the same, she doesn't care so much.
As for Zou, she was just a concubine. The hostess agreed, and it was impossible to object.
"That's it."
Chen Zhou said: "Shan'er has also met Princess Xiangcheng. When the time comes to arrange the marriage, we will see what the Lord does."
Cao Shan suddenly smiled and said, "Husband, you are really lustful."
The true nature of a man.
Chen Zhou didn't have many interests, he just liked this. Hearing his wife say this, he smiled disapprovingly.
"My husband is not too lecherous either."
Qiao Ying said softly: "Our father is in Wancheng and has more than ten concubines."
In ancient times, powerful families had a lot of women at home. For them, they didn't think there was any problem at all.
But concubines and wives are different.
Those who will have status in the future will only be the head wives and legitimate sons.
As for the concubines and concubines, they will be arranged separately to spread their branches in other places to extend the family's bloodline.
This is why those wealthy families are so big.
"Yinger still understands me."
Chen Zhou hugged Qiao Ying and kissed her.
This made Qiao Ying blush with embarrassment.
Time passed quickly and it was evening.
"Owner."
A servant came in and said, "The carriage from Dong Guozhang's house has arrived outside, saying it is to greet the master and have a talk."
Chen Zhou had no choice but to walk out of the gentle home of the ladies and said helplessly: "This Dong Guozhang is really impatient."
"Husband, just go to the banquet and don't covet the women around the husband."
Cao Shan warned.
These big families will arrange special singers, women, etc. to entertain guests.
Just do something.
Chen Zhou had no interest in such a woman, so he agreed to Cao Shan and went out to get on the carriage Dong Cheng prepared for him.
