Chapter 269: Uncle

When Zhang Fei said this, his face was full of pride, he was proud of Liu Bei's background, and Guan Yu was the same, although his eyes were red from crying, but when he talked about Liu Bei's identity as the emperor's uncle, he couldn't help but show a little smugness!

The royal family of the Han Dynasty has gone through the branches and leaves of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, and the royal family has been too many to count, this identity is not uncommon in the late Han Dynasty, many, many descendants of the royal family, the son is not as good as the ordinary people, even if it is a rural landlord and old wealth, they are more comfortable than them, and the descendants of the royal family are not all put their own origins on their lips, and they will say it when they meet people!

The phoenix that fell behind is not as good as a chicken, and some ruffians are very unkind to the descendants of the royal family who have lost their power, and even for the abuse of the descendants of the royal family, they have an inexplicable hobby, and they can bully and bully the emperor's relatives, which is very pleasant to think about! So not every royal family likes to brag about it!

But Liu Bei is not like this, although he has a little strength now, but he blows his background very loudly, and he is afraid that others will not know, so he will say it when he sees someone, and he also implies that his two sworn brothers also say it when he sees people.

Others don't know, but Gongsun Chan knows, Liu Bei's identity belongs to the kind that cannot be verified, no one can prove that he is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, but no one can prove that he is not. This made Liu Bei pick up a bargain, whatever he said, it was all based on a mouth!

Gongsun Zan said: "In this way, Xuande's identity is only higher than that Li Qin, not lower than him!" Looking at Yuan Shao in front of him, Gongsun Zhan whispered: "Xuande, when you see the prince, you must strongly let him be called the emperor, anyway, he is sure to be the emperor, this is the first favor, why do you need others to do it, you, the emperor's uncle, must speak first." ”

Liu Bei nodded and whispered, "I just don't know what General Yuan means?" ”

Gongsun Zhan snorted and said, "Whatever, your uncle and nephew are talking, what qualifications does he have as an outsider to be talkative!" ”

Liu Bei thought to himself: "If the prince is close to me and calls me Uncle Huang, then my identity will be confirmed, and if I recruit troops and horses in the future, I will have a name!" ”

He is very grateful to Gongsun Zhan, if the relationship between the two is placed in modern times, they are classmates, and they belong to the kind of good friends who are small, Gongsun Chan will not harm him, otherwise he would not be able to come to his classmates.

Yuan Shao glanced back at them, as if he blamed them for walking slowly, and urged them to follow. Several people mounted their horses, galloped into the city, and went together to meet the Empress Dowager Dong and the crown prince Liu Wei.

Entering the city, to the place where the Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Wei were temporarily placed, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan entered together, Liu Bei's three brothers were too small in official positions, they could only wait outside the door, they could not be summoned and could not enter, even if he was a relative of the prince, the prince's relatives were too many to count, even Li Qin was so-so that he was his uncle, not to mention Liu Bei, a distant relative!

After seeing the Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Wei, she had to cry again, told the emperor about his death, and said that Li Qin was hateful, as well as the disloyalty of Cao Ying and others, anyway, as long as he was not in the same group as Yuan Shao, he was not a good person, if it wasn't for Gongsun Zan next to him, he would have to be scolded by Yuan Shao!

Gongsun Chan is not so loyal to the imperial court, local military generals, often call themselves rough people, in order to do some bad things for themselves as a cover, Gongsun Chan can not be regarded as a rough person, but this does not mean that he will not call himself a rough person.

Now is the time for him to call himself a rough man, Gongsun Zhan was impatient to listen to Yuan Shao's loyalty, he said: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is a rough man, he has been in the border county for a long time, and he doesn't know the etiquette, but the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince is wise and martial, and he will be the king of my Han Dynasty." However, the king of Zhongxing needs to be assisted by capable ministers, and General Yuan is the best among them, although the ministers are rude, they are also loyal to the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, the ministers thought that if they could promote the royal family and become the right-hand man of His Royal Highness the Prince, it would be the best policy! ”

Yuan Shao didn't mention Liu Bei, so Gongsun Zhan had to mention it, but it wasn't all for Liu Bei's sake, he was also planning for himself, Liu Bei was good friends with him, if he could win a place in front of the new monarch, then for him, a foreign minister, there were many benefits, as the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials, and now Liu Wei has no one around him, it is a good opportunity to seize the seat, if he misses the opportunity, then he won't be a big fool!

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Dong listened, and immediately lifted her spirits, although she was the queen mother, but she had no knowledge, and she didn't have the ability to fight for power, and what she saw in the ordinary said was either a eunuch or a palace maid, even if she met a foreign minister, they were all her own relatives, and she was very interested in using relatives, at least using relatives, which could make her feel at ease.

Empress Dowager Dong put her arm around the crown prince Liu Wei and asked, "Who are you going to recommend?" As she spoke, she looked out the door.

The newly built city is a temporary residence, of course, it can't be a deep house compound, sitting in the hall, you can see the door at a glance, she has already seen three people standing outside the door, at first she only thought it was a guard, but as soon as Gongsun Chan said it, she immediately knew that it was the person who was going to be recommended, but she didn't know which relative it was!

Gongsun Zhan said: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the minister does have royal relatives who want to recommend, there is a person named Liu Bei outside the door, the word Xuande, is after King Jing of Zhongshan, serving in our army, being honest and selfless, Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, if he can be accompanied by the prince, he can relieve the Queen Mother's worries!" ”

Yuan Shao knew that he was going to recommend Liu Bei, since it was something that could not be avoided, he would not stop it, but to add a little blockage to Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, disgusting and disgusting, he still had to do it, only to let the Empress Dowager Dong and the prince not trust Liu Bei very much, and he would be able to stuff the people who could be trusted by the prince in the future, and he had to keep his hands behind!

Yuan Shao said: "Queen Mother, it is said that Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, but because of the middle of the family, he neither attacked the lord nor became an official, maybe the local official was clumsy, and he was not promoted!" Now he has come to take refuge in the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince, and the Queen Mother deserves to be reused! ”

This is too immoral, "it is said" Liu Bei is a member of the Han family, which means that it is also possible to impersonate, the prince is a child may not be able to hear it, but the queen mother must be able to hear it, and said that he did not attack the lord and did not become an official, which shows that it is a broken household, even if it is a person in the clan this year, the broken household is not welcomed, the old lady of the queen mother values this even more, and said that the magistrate did not protect him, which shows that Liu Bei has no ability, as long as he has some ability, with his background, can the magistrate not give some face? He said it nicely, but he was all pouring dirty water on Liu Bei!

When Empress Dowager Dong heard this, her face suddenly darkened, and she was a little disappointed, she didn't understand the world, but she could understand Yuan Shao's words, this was reminding her!

Empress Dowager Dong said: "He has not attacked the knighthood, presumably the family is living a tight life, I don't know what he usually does for a living, I will have to ask later!" ”

Gongsun Chan frowned, it is true that he and Liu Bei are classmates, but they have been separated for a long time, what Liu Bei does for a living, he is not clear, I don't think it will be so relaxed, he is a classmate, it is always difficult to ask, this is a very face-hurting thing, besides, now Liu Bei's life can be passable, with the righteous brothers, and gathered a group of young people who follow him, this year only depends on the strength, who asks the past, just this old lady can care about the past, old confused!

He went out and called Liu Bei up, because he could see directly outside the hall in the hall, he didn't even have the opportunity to tell Liu Bei a few words in private, so he could only be secretly anxious in his heart, but he was helpless!

Empress Dowager Dong saw Liu Bei, and after he saluted, she asked, "Are you the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan?" Why? "Her ideology has not changed, Liu Bei did not enter the palace to meet her, now she is in trouble, and Liu Bei is here to take the initiative to help her, at this time not to woo, but instead to ask these useless people, isn't it enough to support it!

But Liu Bei replied respectfully: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, Weichen has a genealogy as proof!" "Of course, if he really asks for a genealogy, he will say that he will put it at home, and besides, the genealogy is a thing, and it is too late to make it up.

Empress Dowager Dong sighed and asked, "I heard that your family is poor, how did you make a living before?" ”

Yuan Shao showed a sneer on his face, what Liu Bei did for a living, he didn't know, but he must be a poor bastard, he was absolutely sure, now I want to hear how Liu Bei answers, he can say a few sarcastic words.

Gongsun Zhan sighed in his heart, this Empress Dowager Dong is really too long-haired and short-sighted, how can she ask this, at this time, she should be encouraged, and then take out some jewels to reward, so that Liu Bei can give her life! Besides, treating Liu Bei well is also a gesture, which can allow more people to take refuge in order to ensure the smooth ascension of the crown prince.

Liu Bei hesitated, but said: "Weichen's father died early, and he followed his mother to weave bamboo and grass tools for a living since he was a child, fortunately the first emperor was in power, the world was peaceful, the people were rich, although Weichen was bitter, but he could also be peaceful and happy, and live in peace!" ”

Yuan Shao was taken aback, he never thought that Liu Bei would be so miserable, Shinong and industrialist, he just became a hawker, he was still a bamboo and straw weaving vessel, wasn't it just a mat or straw shoes or something! For a moment, I was so surprised that I couldn't even say sarcastic words!

Gongsun Zhan lowered his head and thought: "Xuande, how can you tell the truth at this time, you brag, lest others look down on you, who can really check you?" ”

But when Empress Dowager Dong heard this, she was stunned for a moment, for the wealthy nobles, Liu Bei's past is really not glorious, but because of this, the old lady sympathizes with him, which shows that Liu Bei is honest, not telling lies, which means loyalty, what she needs most now is this!

Empress Dowager Dong's eyes were red, and she actually asked Liu Bei to kneel in front of her, stretched out her hand and grabbed his hand, and said in a choked voice: "Child, it's hard for you, you have lived so hard, but you haven't forgotten to serve the emperor and support the prince." ”

Yuan Shao's face turned green, no, isn't he just a straw sandal, why do you still praise him!

Gongsun Chan is happy, it's better to be honest, to be honest, there is a good reward!

Empress Dowager Dong asked Liu Bei's seniority, and said, "In this way, you are still the prince's uncle!" Bian'er, I've seen my uncle! ”

The crown prince Liu argued that there was a child, and his grandmother asked him to call, so he called out, and called crisply: "Uncle! ”

Outside the door, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard this uncle, and the two of them became excited together!
