Kapitel 309: Chapter 297: Emulating the Ancestors

Sitting opposite Li You, Liu Bei, who was looking at Li You dressed in a green silk robe, asked with a troubled expression, "Must Wen Ru really insist on this way?"

"There are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the greatest. Lady Gan, though virtuous, prudent and dignified, ultimately has no offspring. Please reconsider this matter, Lord Xuande," Li You advised with a smile on his face. "The inner residence is empty; it would be well for Lord Xuande to fill it with one or two more."

"But isn't it somewhat impolite to tell other feudal lords' officials so blatantly?" Liu Bei said with a wry smile.

"Appetite for food and sex are natural desires; how could it be impolite? Besides, for the sake of the well-being of the people under heaven, Lord Xuande needs to consider this," Li You brought out his most persuasive argument, knowing Liu Bei could hardly resist the idea of planning for the welfare of the people.
