The emperor commented on Liu Bei's poems.

The emperor treats Liu Bei as an uncle, which is probably not good for his master (Cao Cao). Cao Cao said that since he was regarded as an uncle, I ordered him by the imperial edict of the son of heaven, and he dared not disobey. Besides, I left him in Xuchang, the provincial capital. Although he is nominally close to the emperor, he is actually in my hands. What am I afraid of?
