Liu Bei is not falsely a descendant of the Han Dynasty royal family, but he is not the imperial uncle of Emperor Xian of Han.
First of all, the Han Dynasty did not have the title of "Emperor Uncle"; secondly, Liu Bei's ancestor Liu Zhen was only one of the 120 sons of Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan, who was lost to the commoner of Zhen County as early as the second year of Emperor Yuan Shuo of the Han Dynasty (127 BC), and the family tree was interrupted for nearly 200 years, until Liu Bei's grandfather Liu Xiongguan arrived at Fanling of Dong County, and the family tree was reconnected.
And Emperor Xian of Han was the 14th generation grandson of Emperor Jing of Han, so Liu Bei would only be the uncle of Emperor Xian of Han if he became the 13th generation of Emperor Jing of Han.
The commentary on the "Ancestor Biography" records: "Chen Songzhi thought that although the ancestor was from filial piety, and the number of generations was long, Zhao Mu was difficult to understand, and he did not know how to set up a temple with Emperor He as the ancestor of the Yuan." ”
It can be seen that Liu Bei himself could not determine how many generations of his grandsons were the Han Jing Emperor.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the names were all single characters, such as Zhuge Liang's name was "Liang", Liu Bei's name was "Bei", and there were few characters with two characters as names (Huang Chengyan and Lü Bohao were named after characters, while Sun Shangxiang was a fictitious name).
Why not use a double-word name?
Because at that time, the two words were mostly used for people who committed crimes.
03
During the Three Kingdoms period, it was very common for widows to remarry, and there was no formal bondage.
For example, Liu Bei's empress Wu was a widow who remarried.
Wu lost his father at an early age, and his father had a deep friendship with Liu Yan before his death, so the whole family followed Liu Yan to Shudi. Later, Liu Yan heard from the face-to-face that the Wu clan had a noble appearance, so he married Wu for his son Liu Mao.
After Liu Mao's death, Wu became a widow.
In the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214), Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, and Na Wu was his wife.
Therefore, in addition to Cao Cao, Liu Bei was also very interested in his wife.
04
When Liu Bei became emperor, Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian, was still alive until 234, the 11th year after Liu Bei's son Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, that Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian, died (Cao Pi, who deposed Emperor Xian of Han, had already died for 8 years).
Therefore, in the strict sense, Liu Bei belonged to the usurpation of the throne of the Ming Dynasty, and Cao Cao, who had been scolded for thousands of years as a Han thief, was only the King of Wei throughout his life.

Lü Bu was called a "three-surnamed family slave", but compared with Yu Ban, he was too pediatric.
When he followed Cao Cao in the early days of Ban, he was good at war for a long time, and repeatedly made meritorious achievements, together with Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Zhang Guo, and Xu Huang, and was called a famous general of Cao Wei, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Yishouting.
In 219, Guan Yu attacked Fancheng and surrendered after Yu Ban's defeat to Guan Yu; in November of the same year, Lü Meng attacked Jingzhou, and Yu Ban returned to Eastern Wu; two years later, Yu Ban returned to wei.
Yu Ban can be said to have stayed in the Three Kingdoms of Wei Shu and Wu.

Zhang Fei's wife Xiahou Shi was the adopted daughter of Xiahou Yuan, who was beheaded at the Battle of Dingjun Mountain.
When Xiahou Yuan was fighting with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at Guandu, the 13-year-old Xiahou clan went out of the city to cut firewood, and was met by Zhang Fei and took him as his wife.
Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan were in a conjoined relationship, so Zhang Fei saw Cao Cao and wanted to call him uncle.

After Guan Yu's death, Liao Hua was summoned to his command by Sun Quan, but Liao Hua was bent on returning to Han and escaped from Eastern Wu by deception, and on the way, he met Liu Bei of Eastern Wu on the way to Zigui and became a Shu Han general again.
Liao Hua was also the only one who fully witnessed Liu Bei's rise from Buyi to the founding of the emperor and the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty.
The world is rumored to be "riding alone in a thousand miles", but Liao Hua's loyalty to Liu Bei and Ji Han does not lose Guan Yu.

In 237 AD, Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong established himself as emperor and changed his name to yuan shaohan in the first year.
However, in less than a year, Sima Yi led the Wei army to attack the capital of the Yan state of Xiangping, killing More than 1,000 officials below Gongsun Yuan and Xiang Guo, and the State of Yan was destroyed.

In order to increase fiscal revenue, Dong Zhuo tried every means to plunder the people, and reforged the five-baht money formulated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty into "small money", which was equivalent to over-issuing currency, which caused super inflation, and YihuGu even sold for hundreds of thousands of small money.
The already fragile metal monetary system was completely destroyed, and the circulation of money remained in a state of chaos for more than three hundred years.
Attempts by Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Sun Wu to restore the circulation of metal currency all failed, and only the currency of the Shu Han Dynasty had a circulating value in a specific area.
This currency chaos was not eliminated until after the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the minting of "Kaiyuan Tongbao", which continued into the Qing Dynasty.
