"Brother, don't..." Zhang Fei hurriedly tried to persuade him again, but he saw Liu Bei glaring at him.

Zhuge Liang also said lightly: "General, there are differences between monarchs and ministers, please pay attention to the titles, General."

Zhang Fei was furious: "Zhuge Liang, what do you mean by that?"

"You are just a three-year-old baby about the matter of my brother Taoyuan being sworn brothers, and you dare to provoke my brotherhood with my brother?"

"Elder brother gives you a good deal, it means that elder brother thinks highly of you."

"You put on airs in front of others, that's your business."

"However, if you want to put on airs in front of me, Zhang Fei, that's absolutely impossible."

"Yide, don't be rude to the prime minister." Liu Bei immediately shouted, "Hurry up and apologize to the prime minister."

Zhang Fei is a rough person. Before Liu Bei didn't think Zhang Fei's rudeness was bad, on the contrary, he liked his character a little bit.

But now that he is the emperor, Zhang Fei is still a big brother, and there is no such gap between the monarch and his ministers. This is what Liu Bei doesn't like.

Zhuge Liang knows how to read words and looks best, and he guessed Liu Bei's mind at once, so he raised this point without fear.

Besides, Zhuge Liang predicted that Jiangdong would be defeated sooner or later. Whether or not there is a strong general like Zhang Fei will not change the final solution. He naturally doesn't care about Zhang Fei's feelings.

"Your Majesty, my brother's head can be broken and blood can flow, but if I ask my brother to apologize to Zhuge Liang, it is absolutely impossible."

"Your Majesty, please punish my younger brother."

Liu Bei was shocked and angry.

As soon as he proclaimed himself emperor, Zhang Fei disobeyed the order and disrespected him. This was a serious challenge to his emperor's majesty.

If Zhang Fei can't be restrained today, will he really obey the emperor's words?

"Yide, don't you even listen to what I say?" Liu Bei's face immediately darkened, and his voice became a little more sinister.

Zhang Fei was not afraid, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is right, and my younger brother will naturally listen."

"But Your Majesty asked my younger brother to apologize to Zhuge Liang, and my younger brother did nothing wrong, so I can only ask His Majesty to take it back."

"Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is undoubtedly a provocation to the Chinese thief, and it also cut off the advantage of the Chinese thief holding the emperor. How can the Chinese thief still kindly send gifts to His Majesty?"

"This must be a trick of the Chinese bandits. I still advise Your Majesty not to be fooled."

Zhang Fei is a man of temperament, and he has always been worried about Hua Yu's killing of Guan Yu, so he treats Hua Yu as a thief.

Liu Bei sneered: "Then tell me, Hua Ziyi just gave you a gift, what kind of conspiracy can there be?"

"This..." Zhang Fei was speechless for a moment, he is a rough man, not good at strategy, how could he guess what conspiracy Hua Yu would have.

Zhuge Liang said again: "Report to Your Majesty, when His Majesty ascended the throne, Hua Yu sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. This is the normal process of diplomatic relations."

"If His Majesty avoids seeing you, it will be a big mistake to expel people in the future."

"First, after this incident, Hua Ziyi will definitely exaggerate, saying that His Majesty is rude, and may use this incident as an excuse to attack me Jiangdong in advance."

"And the people all over the world, especially the people and soldiers in Jiangdong, will think that His Majesty is afraid of Hua Ziyi."

"In this way, the situation in Jiangdong will inevitably be chaotic, and the morale of the army will inevitably be affected, which is not good for the overall situation."

"Secondly, Hua Ziyi is also the king of Qin after all, occupying as much as half of the world."

"No matter how much he opposes His Majesty's ascension to the throne, he will never give away evil things such as dog blood or black chicken regardless of the influence."

"Thirdly, Hua Ziyi's gift, no matter how high or low, as long as His Majesty can accept it, it is enough to prove that Hua Ziyi has recognized His Majesty's status and proclaimed himself a minister to His Majesty."

"Therefore, judging from the above three points, it is only beneficial for His Majesty to meet Hua Yu's envoy."

"What the prime minister said is true." Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei and asked calmly, "Is there any good reason for Yide not to let me meet Hua Yu's envoy?"

Where would Zhang Fei have any good reason, he could only keep silent.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei immediately said, "The envoy of King Xuan Qin is going to the palace."

"Here, Your Majesty." The eunuch immediately responded, turned and left.

What happened just now has been exposed, of course Liu Bei will not really pursue Zhang Fei's crime of disrespect.

All the officials were naturally relieved.

They didn't agree with Liu Bei's ascension to the throne.

Because these hundreds of officials are basically natives of Jiangdong, they are the noble families of Jiangdong, such as the Lu family, Bu family, Gu family and so on.

What are the gentry in Jiangdong most afraid of? Afraid of war.

Once fighting, their losses cannot be estimated.

But Hua Yu sent envoys and sent gifts, no matter whether Hua Yu sincerely recognized Liu Bei as the emperor, at least this battle would not be fought.

Although, the gentry in Jiangdong are all officials under Liu Bei.

However, they still understand the general trend of the world, and they have long thought of defecting to Hua Yu.

Many gentry sent confidantes to leave Jiangdong to send secret letters to Hua Yu.

Liu Bei's secret works were isolated, but the secret works of these gentry who wanted to defect to Hua Yu would naturally not be quarantined.

Moreover, after these people got Hua Yu's reply, they returned to Jiangdong smoothly and handed the reply to their Patriarch.

So, Liu Bei himself didn't know that more than half of his civil and military officials had hooked up with Hua Yu.

Once the war starts, these gentry will become Hua Yu's internal support.

After a while, a young man in his early twenties, holding a few calligraphy and paintings, followed the eunuch to the Sanying Hall.

Sanyingdian was named by Liu Bei.

Sanying naturally refers to him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The reason why he chose this name is that Liu Bei must always remind himself that Guan Yu's great hatred must be avenged.

Of course, this is also for show, for the world to see, for Zhang Fei to see.

Now, if Hua Yu doesn't lead troops to attack Jiangdong, Liu Bei will chant Amitabha and burn incense every day.

Let Liu Beibing go out of Jiangdong and seek revenge on Hua Yu, unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

When the envoy arrived, he greeted Liu Bei and said, "Liu San, the envoy under King Qin, has seen Mr. Liu."

Mr. Liu?
This title undoubtedly means that Hua Yu does not recognize Liu Bei's emperor status.

Liu Bei couldn't help being angry: "Didn't the King of Qin send you to congratulate me on my ascension to the throne?"

Liu San was not afraid at all, and said with a slight smile: "My king said, if Mr. Liu is a relative of the Han family, if he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, there is nothing wrong with it."

"However, Mr. Cai Yong has made a clear investigation. Liu Shijun is not a relative of the Han family, but hastily proclaimed himself emperor. How is it different from Yuan Shu?"

Zhang Fei suddenly sneered: "Your Majesty, what I said is right."

"The Chinese thief did this because the weasel gave the chicken to the chicken. He has no good intentions, but His Majesty does not believe in his younger brother."

"The first, second, and third are all nonsense, just for the benefit of the tongue."

Immediately, Liu Bei couldn't hold back his face, and shouted angrily: "Since Hua Ziyi doesn't recognize me, why did you send me a congratulatory gift?"
