Chen Xi was a little dumbfounded. What was going on with Liu Bei? He actually said such a thing. What does it mean to be deeply favored by the emperor and not be able to covet the throne? You are not such a person, okay? You have already ascended the throne in history, but now you are kidding if you say you cannot afford to be jealous.
Liu Bei looked at the dumbfounded Chen Xi, sighed and explained, "Whether it is ambition or ambition, I have it, but since I got to this position step by step, I have not suffered any setbacks. Tao Gongzu and Kong Wenju have all helped me." Me, the power of the Han Dynasty is still protecting me, even if I was dissatisfied, it still gave me a chance. "
"Zichuan, have I fought for anything?" Liu Bei asked.
"No." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
"Yeah, I didn't fight for anything, but I got so many things because of my surname and my bloodline. Maybe before I experienced whipping and postal supervision, I would have taken these things for granted, but after experiencing that After that incident, I understood that in addition to ability, this world also needs the legacy of our ancestors!" Liu Bei looked bitter, and even couldn't express what he meant, but Chen Xi still understood the meaning behind Liu Bei's words.
The most painful part for Liu Bei is here. He has been working hard, but in the end he still cannot escape the need to rely on his ancestors. What is even more painful now is that he obviously relies on his ancestors, but he wants to spy on the direct lineage left by his ancestors!
Even if the other party is at fault, Liu Bei also feels that others have the qualifications, but he does not, because he feels that as a branch family, the clan has given him a living. Now that the legitimate son of the clan is at fault, should he attack that legitimate son? And then allow yourself to take the position of legitimate son? He can't live with it in his conscience!
Chen Xi smiled bitterly. He finally understood what was going on. Unlike Liu Bei in history, Liu Bei did not experience displacement this time!
In his previous life, except for the title of imperial uncle, Liu Bei did not enjoy any benefits from the royal family. Even if there were some help from loyal officials of the Han Dynasty in the past, it had already been exhausted in such a long time!
It can be said that except for an empty name, Liu Bei almost started from scratch and owed nothing to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Liu Bei believed that all royal families in the world were qualified to ascend to the throne, and now the only royal family in the world rescued him was Liu Xuande, so he ascended the throne without any pressure.
This life. Liu Bei had clan documents and the benefits of the royal family. He quickly grew from a penniless little brat to a great prince who controlled a state and ruled millions of people. He even had a title and could almost be said to be a member of the royal family. He has everything he needs. Despite his efforts and Chen Xi's planning, Liu Bei would not have had the chance to rise so quickly if it weren't for loyal officials of the Han Dynasty such as Tao Qian.
Because of this, Liu Bei felt that he owed too much to the Han Dynasty. The situation of the Han Dynasty was not too bad. If he worked hard, there was still hope of salvation. So his conscience easily suppressed his ambition, and instead he wanted to be the Duke of Zhou, and the emperor was too far away to bring peace to the world and help the Han Dynasty. This was Liu Bei's previous dream, and he had no idea of ??being the emperor.
Because of this, he was deeply hit by Liu Xie's actions. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a great situation for Liu Bei if Liu Xie did such a thing? You Liu Xie stimulated the senses of the loyal ministers, and the loyal ministers felt chilled by your coolness. According to the principle that all clan members such as the Han Dynasty may rise to power, Liu Bei, the world hero who was blown out by Liu Yan, is not the best candidate. ?
After thinking about all this, Chen Xi knew how to deal with it.
"Mr. Xuande, would you like to listen to me?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Zichuan, please tell me something." Liu Bei said calmly. After venting for such a period of time, Liu Bei was a little annoyed and said some things he shouldn't have said. But the whole person was much calmer.
"Mr. Xuande, where did the shadow of our ancestors come from?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei with a smile in his eyes.
"It was our great ancestor who overcame the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty and overthrew the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, and fought with King Xiang to leave a legacy for us and other future generations." Liu Bei said with some fanaticism.
"Then for Gaozu, his descendants are not far and near, right?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"You can't say that." Liu Bei frowned.
"Okay, let's change the topic. What did Gaozu want the Han Dynasty to be like?" Chen Xi continued to ask.
"Continuous, passed down from generation to generation!" Liu Bei paused when he said this. He also knew that this was unreliable.
"What about the hope for each generation?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.
"" Liu Bei did not answer, but his eyes flashed with light.
"Do the ancestors hope that the next generation will be stronger than the previous generation, or do they hope that the next generation will only rely on their own shadow to live?" The smile on Chen Xi's face became clearer and clearer.
Liu Bei didn't answer, but the decadence in his whole person was swept away.
"Mr. Xuande, no ancestor wants his descendants to live solely on their own glory. The solid foundation they laid for the glory created by their descendants is just to support them for a while one day when their descendants are really weak. Wait until the day comes again." Chen Xi said slowly.
Liu Bei stood up and stretched out his hand towards Chen Xi, "Let us create more glory for our descendants, lay a more solid foundation for them, and let us surpass our ancestors!" Liu Bei almost said the last sentence in an extremely difficult tone through his teeth. He squeezed out, but after the words came out, his whole body was radiant as if he was full of strength.
"Ancestors, please forgive future generations for being disrespectful. Today, Liu Xuande, the queen of Zhongshan King Jing, is willing to swear to heaven. If I cannot surpass all previous generations, I will definitely not spy on the artifact. My ancestors will learn from it!" Liu Bei swore to the sky with high spirits, with determination in his eyes. , which made Chen Xi feel that Liu Bei was serious!
"Zichuan!" At this moment, Liu Bei seemed to be enveloped in a layer of solemnity, and he stretched out his hand again, "Speak out your ideals, don't lie like saying you want to be the head of the Chen family, you Your abilities are absolutely unparalleled in the world, and the position of head of the Chen family is just a piece of cake for you! Tell me your ideals, Zichuan!"
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then put away his playful smile. For the first time, he did not show disgust. He put his hand on Liu Bei's hand, "My ideal, through the ages, China will always stand at the top of the world, no matter what In the past and future, we can only let people look up to us; the people have food and clothing, a path to promotion, the world's wealth, the world's wisdom, the world's virtuous people, who are not from aristocratic families, and everyone can rely on his efforts to obtain equivalent rewards. !¡±
"Okay! This is the Chen Zichuan I know!" Liu Bei laughed, then turned to look at Chen Xi, "Zichuan, swear, one day I will write your today's oath on the family motto of my Liu family. I, Liu Xuande, will definitely surpass my ancestors. My loyalty is to the Han Dynasty, not to any one person!"
