"Brother Xuande." Xun You looked at Liu Bei in a daze and said,"" Is it really recorded like this?!"
"Brother Gongda, you and I hit it off at first sight. Why should I lie to you?”Liu Bei's face was full of sincerity. He looked at Xun You with burning eyes and said,"This is the record. I can't prove whether it's true or not.”
"I trust you." Xun You exhaled and shook his obviously messy head.""Brother Xuande, let's talk about the future.”
"Alright, having Brother Gongda to share it with me is a great blessing in my life.”Liu Bei pretended to stroke his chest and said,""I can learn Chinese chess and simplified Chinese characters, but I can only describe the more magical things, but I can't learn them or create them.”
Liu Bei was really suffocating. This should be the pain and helplessness of every transmigrator. There were too many secrets in his heart, but he could not tell anyone, not even his loved ones.
It was a rare opportunity for Liu Bei to tell Xun You a thing or two. Liu Bei was able to relieve some of his depression and did not have to worry about anything. Xun You was not only a good listener, but also a reliable and trustworthy person.
"Is it a technical problem or a material problem?" Xun You was worthy of being a great talent and wise man of the world. He hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head.
"Both." Liu Bei nodded and said seriously,""Let me describe a few of them. However, can Brother Gongda guarantee that you won't tell anyone else about them?”
"I promise." Xun You said firmly.
"I believe you too." Liu Bei said with utmost trust.
Liu Bei knew that Xun You was a man of his word. Xun You was a man of great wisdom. Even if he heard something epoch-making, he would only think about it and verify it, not be suspicious.
"There is an item called a mobile phone. It is small and exquisite, and can be held in one hand. If you and I each have one, we can transmit messages from thousands of miles away, and we can communicate face-to-face.”The first thing Liu Bei mentioned was the phone.
As expected, Xun You fell into deep thought when he heard that. He didn't make a fuss or ask anything.
Liu Bei continued," There's another thing. It's called a car. It's shaped like a turtle shell. Once it's started, it can travel a thousand miles in a day and eight hundred miles in a night. It can carry several to dozens of people.”
"A phone, a car." Xun You started to mumble. Xun You was already numb from Liu Bei's words today. His worldview had collapsed. He was in a state of sleepwalking.
"Brother Gongda, are you alright?" Seeing this, Liu Bei was extremely worried. He didn't want to cripple a top strategist.
"Brother Xuande, I'm sorry to make a fool of myself." Xun You shook his head and said,"I want to be quiet."”
"Then, then I'll send you back to the residence." Liu Bei knew that today's trip was considered a failure. Xun You definitely could not continue to tour Luoyang in this state.
Xun You's condition was beyond Liu Bei's expectations. Liu Bei had thought that Xun You would be able to hold on. In fact, Liu Bei was wrong about one thing. Xun You was still young, not the calm Xun You at his peak.
Just like that, Liu Bei sent Xun You, who was clearly in a daze and even stumbling as he walked, back to his residence.
……
After Liu Bei and Xun You left, Cai Yong brought a set of chess into the palace to meet the emperor.
Emperor Liu Hong was not in Yangde Hall, where he had discussions with the officials. Instead, he was in Chongde Hall, where the emperor usually moved freely.
"Minister Cai, what's the matter?" Emperor Liu Hong sat lazily and asked Cai Yong, who had suddenly come to see him, with his eyes half-closed.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject obtained a set of Chinese chess a few days ago.”Cai Yong held the chess with both hands and bowed.
"Hand it over." Liu Hong opened his eyes and said unhappily,""I have heard that Lu Qing has this item, but I have never seen it before.”
It turned out that when Lu Zhi entered the capital, not only did he not give Cai Yong chess, he did not even mention it in front of Emperor Liu Hong. Liu Hong only found out after Lu Zhi led his troops to Jiujiang, so he was naturally unhappy.
There was a saying that all the lands under the heavens belonged to the king, and all the shores of the land belonged to the king's subjects. The emperor did not need a reason to be unhappy.
"Your Majesty has wronged Lord Lu." Cai Yong quickly excused his good friend,"Lord Lu only has one."”
"Oh, where did Cai Aiqing's chess come from?”Liu Hong took the Chinese chess pieces and opened the box with interest.
"This chess set was created by Lord Lu's disciple, Liu Bei of Zhuo County.”Cai Yong explained," Ever since Lord Lu went to Jiujiang to quell the rebellion, Liu Bei has been traveling the world. He just arrived in Luoyang a few days ago.”
"Liu Bei of Zhuo County. Rumor has it that he is a genius who was granted by the gods in his dreams.”"I heard that he is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan."”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cai Yong replied,"This chess set was given to me by the gods in their dreams."”
Liu Hong nodded and suddenly said sternly,""Minister Cai, do you know your crimes?"
"This humble subject is afraid. I don't know what my crime is.”Cai Yong said he was terrified, but he didn't look terrified at all.
Cai Yong was actually cursing in his heart. He had only just obtained the chess set, and he was already paying tribute. There was no reward, and he was guilty. What a f * ck.
"What crime? Hehe, what does it mean to have the Chu River and Han River carved on the river boundary of the Chinese chess?”Liu Hong chuckled.
Emperor Liu Hong was in power. Where the word Liu Hong should be used, it was replaced by a big word, which was taboo for the emperor. The same is true for Chu, He and Han. This matter could be said to be big, but it could also be said to be small.
"Your Majesty," Cai Yong said calmly,"this is the meaning of the province's warning." Now that the world was at peace, they should also think about the unparalleled achievements of Emperor Taizu.”
"Yes, Minister Cai is right." Liu Hong waved to Cai Yong and said,"How do you play this chess?"”
Liu Hong had only casually asked for punishment, or rather, he had struck first. This was all Cai Yong's fault. Usually, when he met the Sage alone, he would either criticize one or blame another. Sometimes, he would directly advise Liu Hong. Liu Hong was worried, so he first scared Cai Yong.
Cai Yong wiped off his cold sweat. For a moment, he really forgot the purpose of offering chess. He carefully went forward and explained the basic rules and gameplay of chess.
Liu Hong was not a great emperor, but he was still very smart. He quickly learned how to play Chinese chess.
"Come, come." Liu Hong rolled up the wide sleeves of his dragon robe and said,""Minister Cai, please sit down.”
As soon as Liu Hong opened his mouth, Cai Yong naturally could not object. He could only tread on thin ice and began to play chess with Emperor Liu Hong.
It was impossible to win, but even if he lost, he could not lose too obviously. After a whole morning, Cai Yong missed playing chess with Liu Bei and the others.
"Your Majesty is so brave. I admire you." After losing the entire morning, Cai Yong couldn't take it anymore and retreated.
"Hahaha!" Liu Hong laughed heartily and said," This item is very good. Minister Cai, please bring Liu Bei to the morning court tomorrow. I will reward you."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave." Cai Yong impatiently left the Hall of Virtue and returned to his residence without looking back.
As soon as Cai Yong left, Emperor Liu Hong summoned Zhang Rang to play chess with him.
Who was Zhang Rang?
Emperor Liu Hong once said,"Zhang Rang is my father!”
Zhang Rang was a native of Yingchuan. He was a marquis and the head of the Ten Generals. He was the soul of the eunuch group.
At this moment, Zhang Rang was so red that he was black. It could be said that he was below one person and above ten thousand people. His words carried nine tripods.
"Your Majesty, Cai Yong is here to complain again?”Zhang Rang quickly arrived at the Hall of Virtue. He did not ask why Emperor Liu Hong had summoned him, but instead asked why Cai Yong had come.
"No, I haven't." Liu Hong pointed at the chess pieces that had not been put away and said,""It's rare that this guy knows how to offer something as a tribute.”
"Xiangqi!" Zhang Rang had sharp eyes and saw the chess set in front of Liu Hong at a glance.
"Zhang Qing, have you seen Chinese chess before?" Liu Hong was displeased. He was angry that he had been deceived by the people around him.
