Liu Hong couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. He said,""In that case, you are still Zhen's younger brother! Haha!"
Liu Heng quickly expressed his modesty.
However, Liu Hong insisted that Liu Heng accept this title! Liu Heng could only agree!
There was a reason why Liu Hong did this. Over the years, he felt that his body was not as good as before. He might not be able to do it at any time!
Therefore, he had to start thinking about his son!
The eldest son, Liu Bian, had a weak personality. In addition, his relatives were powerful. If he were to inherit the throne, it would be easy for his relatives to become powerful, which would be detrimental to the stability of the throne!
As for his second son, Liu Xie, he was clever and liked by others, so he wanted to pass the throne to his second son. However, this way, it was easy to receive opposition from his relatives and ministers!
He had no choice but to arrange an assistant minister for his youngest son!
Although Liu Heng was young, he was skilled in both martial arts and literature. When he grew up, he would definitely become a minister!
That was why Liu Hong wanted to rope Liu Heng in! He hoped that Liu Heng could help his youngest son in the future!
Liu Hong then asked about Liu Heng's performance in the battle. Liu Heng had already told him about it several times, and Liu Hong had also heard it several times!
Therefore, Liu Heng gave a simple explanation!
In fact, Liu Heng and Liu Hong both understood that the reason why they were repeating this matter was to reward Liu Heng!
That was why Liu Heng endured his impatience and repeated it again!
After Liu Hong heard this, he said with a smile,""Not bad! Not bad! As expected of my royal family's Saint Child!
Liu Heng, you can be considered my younger brother. What reward did you say you want?"
"I do want you to pass your throne to me, but do you know how to do it?"”
However, Liu Heng still said,"Protecting the country is what every man should do!
Moreover, my brother is a relative of the Han clan. It is even more reasonable for him to not allow the foreign races to invade our Great Han! That's why I don't dare to ask for a reward!"
Liu Hong laughed heartily and said,""The Imperial Court rules that meritorious deeds must be rewarded! Don't worry, just say what you think!”
"Your Majesty!" Liu Heng thought for a moment and said. This lowly official has no other requests, but this lowly official has often heard people say that our dynasty's Champion Marquis, Feng Lang Ju Xu, has made great contributions to our Great Han!
Thus, your little brother is willing to learn from the Marquis Champion and protect the country and expand our territory. Your Majesty, please approve!"
Liu Hong couldn't help but laugh after hearing that. He said,""Good! He was indeed ambitious! To be honest, although your contribution this time is comparable to that of the former Marquis Champion, it's not much less!
Good! Since that's the case, then I'll make you the Marquis Champion and the General of the Flying Cavalry. I hope you'll shout for me to expand my territory in the future!”
When Liu Heng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. This Marquis Champion was a County Marquis, which was within his expectations. However, he didn't expect this title of General of Flying Cavalry!
This was the position of a general, the same as the three dukes! This reward was a little too big!
However! At this time, the position of general was basically empty and did not have much real power! The military power of the imperial court was now in the hands of the southern and northern armies. It was basically in the hands of the emperor!
When all the officials saw how generous the emperor's reward was, they were a little dissatisfied. Some people wanted to come out and ask the emperor to take back the reward!
However, seeing the emperor's happy expression, he thought about the general of the hussars. Although his position was relatively high, he did not have much real power. Moreover, Liu Heng was a relative of the Han clan, so it was understandable for him to be rewarded a little more!
Moreover, His Majesty loved money so much that he had already publicly traded for official positions and titles. Since Liu Heng had given so much property to His Majesty this time, he could also buy such a high official position and title with money!
It was better not to provoke His Majesty! Therefore, he still retreated!
The people from Clear Stream quickly came out to congratulate Tian Zi and Liu Heng!
Although the others were dissatisfied, they could not express it!
After the reward, there was nothing important, so Liu Hong started to talk about other things.
"Imperial Brother!" Liu Hong asked Liu Heng. How old are you this year? You look like you're thirteen or fourteen years old!
But according to Imperial Uncle Liu Yan, you are only eight years old this year! Which one is real?!"
"Your Majesty, I don't know either!" Liu Heng said with a smile. I lost both my parents when I was young and was brought up by a strange person. I'm not very clear about my age!
However, when I came back, I was about six years old. Uncle found out that I was indeed only six years old.
Perhaps I have grown up faster in the past two years, so I look older than I should be! According to the genealogy, I am indeed only eight years old!”
Liu Hong wasn't actually interested in how old Liu Heng was, but he was interested in the rumors about him. He said,""Zhen heard that imperial brother was brought up by an immortal. I wonder if that's true! Did my brother really see a deity?”
Liu Heng thought for a moment. He did not expect that the lie from back then would spread so widely that even Liu Hong had heard about it!
It seemed that he had to use more lies today to cover up this lie!
Liu Hong asked this question because he wanted to live forever.
As emperors, other than expanding their territory and leaving their names in history, was this not their only wish?
Liu Heng didn't want him to take the opportunity to look for immortals, so he said,""Your Majesty, I don't know if those people are immortals, but from their words, they do have dealings with the so-called immortals!”
Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he heard that. He quickly said,"Then I wonder if Imperial Brother can invite these immortals back and let them enter the palace to accompany Zhen? If you can do it, I will reward you!”
When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but panic. What they feared the most was that the emperor wanted to live forever.
This would not only waste money and manpower, but it would also cause chaos in the country. Even the two great emperors, Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi, were in dire straits because of this matter.
Not to mention Liu Hong, the emperor who publicly traded official titles!
At that time, the entire world would be in chaos, and they would suffer!
However, there was no way they could stop Liu Hong's actions. After all, Liu Hong had yet to reveal his motive, so they could only hope that Liu Heng would dispel his thoughts!
When Liu Heng heard this, he thought to himself, As expected! It seemed that every emperor wanted to live forever!
If I could really live forever, I would want it! Will it be your turn?"
Liu Heng didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he had to get rid of Liu Hong's idea!
Therefore, Liu Heng said,"I won't hide it from Your Majesty. I was kicked down by the old man who adopted me because I still had some unfinished business with the world. I can't find him now!
Moreover, immortals and mortals were different. True immortals would not have anything to do with mortals!
This was also stipulated by the heavenly laws! Therefore, I have no choice!"
After Liu Heng finished speaking, all the officials in the court could not help but heave a sigh of relief! As long as Liu Heng didn't instigate His Majesty!
In this case, His Majesty should have no reason to do so!
Liu Hong was disappointed and said,""Is that so?" To be honest, he was a little disappointed!
