A skinny eunuch on the leftmost side smiled and said,""Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Since the decree has been issued, this person will be here soon.”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Recently, the sons of the officials in Luoyang have been popular with a new thing called cigarettes. When this thing is lit and sucked, it can actually spit out clouds of smoke like the clouds in the sky. It's amazing!”The one who spoke was a slightly plump eunuch on the right.
"Is there really such a magical thing? Then I want to see it quickly.”Liu Hong said happily.
After a while, a young eunuch ran over to report that Mu Ge had arrived.
"Quickly summon him in." Liu Hong said impatiently.
"Here, summon Mu Ge!" the monkey-faced eunuch shouted.
It was Mu Ge's first time stepping into such a magnificent palace. It was much more magnificent than the palaces in Hengdian. The feeling was different. Hengdian was fake, but this was real gold and silver.
The man in the dragon robe at the top of the throne was definitely Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong. If he wasn't wearing the dragon robe in this palace, Mu Ge would never believe that he was the emperor.
His face was pale and lazy. He leaned on the dragon throne like a person who had not slept for three days. He did not have the look that an emperor should have.
" I heard that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was promiscuous. It looks like it's true. Just look at his kidney deficiency."
Mu Ge knelt down at the entrance and kowtowed three times. Then, he stood up and walked to the middle. He knelt down and kowtowed three more times. After that, he walked to the front and did the same thing again. This was three times kneeling and nine times kowtowing. It was the same when meeting the emperor. Mu Ge had knelt down many times today.
"This commoner Mu Ge Mu Ziyu greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty.”Mu Ge finally finished kneeling and shouted.
"Rise." Liu Hong said lazily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Ge stood up and bowed his head. He couldn't raise his head and look straight at his brother. He had seen the emperor in TV dramas like this. He couldn't look straight at the dragon's face.
" I heard that you invented a cigarette," Liu Hong said." This thing can swallow clouds and turn into fog. It can also strengthen the body. Is that true?"”
" So you're here for this." Mu Ge's mood eased a little. He had been worried that Emperor Han Ling would call him for something bad, and now he finally knew.
"Your Majesty, this is true. This item was passed down by my master.”Mu Ge replied.
"Then do you carry it with you now?”Liu Hong asked expectantly. He was afraid that Mu Ge would say that he didn't bring it, so he would have to wait again.
Luckily, Mu Ge said that he had brought it and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
"Show me." Liu Hong ordered Mu Ge.
"Here, Your Majesty, but I need a candle to light it.”Mu Ge said.
"Quickly bring the candles!" Liu Hong ordered.
Soon, a eunuch brought a candle over. Mu Ge took it and lit a cigarette. He started smoking in front of the Spirit Monarch and blew out many rings of smoke.
The Spirit Monarch suddenly became spirited. He sat up from the dragon throne and walked down the hall in big strides towards Mu Ge. Zhang Rang and the others followed behind him.
"This thing is so magical! Quickly let me try!" The Spirit Monarch couldn't help but command Mu Ge.
Mu Ge handed one to the Spirit Monarch, but he repeatedly reminded the Spirit Monarch about the things to take note of when smoking. He was afraid that if the Spirit Monarch choked and took out his anger on him, Mu Ge would have nowhere to cry.
Fortunately, the Spirit Monarch didn't choke on it. However, Mu Ge was surprised that Liu Hong fell in love with it the moment he smoked!
As expected, he was eating, drinking, and prostitutes. The supreme god of the gambling world could even learn how to smoke.
"This is a treasure! It's really fragrant!" The Spirit Monarch couldn't bear to part with the cigarette in his hand. He praised it repeatedly and even took a few big puffs at once, exhaling clouds of smoke. He felt that it was extremely novel.
Zhang Rang and the others were also extremely curious. They asked Mu Ge for cigarettes, and Mu Ge gave them to them one by one.
However, they were coughing badly from smoking. Mu Ge guessed that they probably had no resistance to smoking because they didn't have sex anymore.
"Mu Ge, how many cigarettes do you have? Bring them all to me, I will reward them heavily!”The Spirit Monarch said to Mu Ge. He was already addicted to this cigarette. How could he not like such a novel and wonderful thing?
Mu Ge's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a reward.
"Your Majesty, this commoner has just refined more than a hundred packets of cigarettes. Although these are the foundation for this commoner to support my family, this commoner is still willing to offer them all to Your Majesty without taking a single cent!”Mu Ge's facade was still very good. He did not believe that the Spirit Monarch was a stingy person. How could such a luxurious and licentious person know how to write the word 'thrifty'?
As expected, Mu Ge's words made the Spirit Monarch even happier. He said,""You are so loyal to Zhen, Zhen will never mistreat you. Tell me yourself, do you want an official position or money?”
Mu Ge was stunned. He wanted an official position?？？？However, after thinking about it, he figured it out.
During the reign of Emperor Han Ling, the phenomenon of buying and selling official positions was very common. Therefore, it was normal for Emperor Han Ling to ask Mu Ge if he wanted an official position. No one was so muddle-headed as an emperor.
Since the Spirit Monarch had given him such a choice, Mu Ge naturally wanted an official position. If he had an official position, he would be a fool not to do so. As long as Mu Ge could get into the officialdom, his path would be further improved and his reputation would grow.
Mu Ge was about to answer when Zhang Rang, who was beside the Spirit Monarch, advised,""Your Majesty, Mu Ge is just a commoner. It would be inappropriate to suddenly give him an official title. Why don't you give him some silver for the time being?”
The Spirit Monarch had always listened to Zhang Rang, so he nodded in agreement and said,""Then reward him with a hundred taels of gold and fifty bolts of silk.”
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Rang and the others quickly flattered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mu Ge looked grateful on the surface, but he was extremely annoyed on the inside.
He really wanted to stab that damn eunuch a few hundred times. Damn it, it ruined his plans. Damn eunuchs, none of them are good!!!!!
When I conquer the world, the first thing I will do is kill all the eunuchs in the world!
