After Zhang Rang left and saw that there was no one else in the hall, Emperor Liu Hong said to Liu Bei,""Liu Bei, other than chess, is there anything else fun?”
Returning to one's ancestors was a major event in one's life, especially when it concerned the royal family. Unexpectedly, Emperor Liu Hong thought that there was nothing more important than fun.
This made everyone speechless.
Liu Bei suppressed the ridicule in his heart. He thought for a moment and said seriously,"Brother Emperor, there really is."”
"Oh, what is it?" Emperor Liu Hong was very interested and said doubtfully,""Don't lie to me!"
Emperor Liu Hong had long heard of the legend of Liu Bei's dream.
Speaking of which, Emperor Liu Hong was not stupid. He had a sharp logical thinking ability. At the very least, Liu Bei felt that this fellow was not as muddle-headed as he had thought.
Liu Bei used the same trick he used to fool Teacher Lu Zhi.
In any case, he did not know why he only had these things in his mind. No matter who asked, it was still the same. The man of God dreamed that he was born to know.
"Alright, a dream taught by a god, born with knowledge!”Liu Hong's eyebrows trembled. He obviously didn't believe it." What's the fun thing? Tell me about it."”
"Brother Emperor, there's something called mahjong that's even more fun than Chinese chess.”Liu Bei said mysteriously,"This thing is not only fun, but it can also help you accumulate wealth."”
Yes, mahjong. It was also one of the entertainment programs of the later generations. It was as indispensable as surfing the internet and playing with the phone. It could be said that there was no Chinese who did not play mahjong, but there were very few people who restrained themselves from playing.
Needless to say, mahjong was fun.
The main point was that mahjong had once become synonymous with gambling. Once they played mahjong, they would more or less add some stakes.
What was certain was that no one would win the leader's money by playing mahjong with him. Those who understood understood would understand, and those who didn't would sit on the bench. This was also why Liu Bei said that he could gather wealth for Emperor Liu Hong.
"Mahjong?" Emperor Liu Hong asked curiously,"Did you bring Liu Bei?"”
"Mahjong is very complicated to make. It would take me a few months to make it alone.”Liu Bei rolled his eyes.”
Was making mahjong complicated? It was complicated and simple. It depended on the materials and Liu Bei's mood.
However, Liu Bei had come for Cai Yong, so he naturally planned for Cai Yong.
"Oh!" "What does this have to do with Minister Cai?" Emperor Liu Hong asked in confusion.”
Emperor Liu Hong had recently heard a few groups of people nagging Cai Yong's faults and was struggling with how to deal with him.
"Of course it matters. Mr. Bo Meng is a calligraphy sage, and the production of mahjong requires a calligraphy sage.”Liu Bei said seriously.
No matter what, Cai Yong was absolutely safe before mahjong was invented. As for what happened after that, even if there was a problem, Cai Yong could be considered as a shield.
Emperor Liu Hong nodded and said," Minister Cai is indeed talented and knowledgeable. Forget it. I will order him to assist you. You can make mahjong as soon as possible. I will reward you well."”
Emperor Liu Hong was interested in mahjong, and he was even more interested in the money that mahjong could bring.
"Thank you, brother emperor. I will do my best.”Liu Bei seemed extremely grateful.
At this moment, Zhang Rang led Zong Zhengda Liu Kuan over.
Zong Zhengda Liu Kuan was not a simple person. He was not only a relative of the Han Dynasty, but also a famous official of the Han Dynasty. He was also the teacher of Emperor Liu Hong.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Liu Kuan entered the hall and bowed.
"Lord Zong Zheng, please excuse the formalities." Emperor Liu Hong had always respected Liu Kuan. He smiled and said,""Is the Liu family of Zhuo County the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan?”
"That's right!" Liu Kuan reported,"King Jing of Zhongshan did indeed leave a branch in Zhuo County.”
"Good!" Emperor Liu Hong's face was filled with joy. He stood up and said,""Liu Bei, follow me to the morning court. I want you to acknowledge your ancestors in front of all the civil and military officials.”
Liu Bei had entered the palace very early to meet the emperor, and the morning court session had not started yet.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Kuan didn't mind having a magical child at all.
"Thank you, Brother Emperor! Thank you, Lord Zong Zheng!" Liu Bei naturally did not mind.
"..." Zhang Rang opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
……
The location of the morning assembly was not in the Chong De Hall, but in the De Yang Hall of the North Palace.
Of all the officials in the palace, Liu Bei only knew Cai Yong.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The civil and military officials stood in two rows and bowed in unison.
"No need to be polite." The Spirit Monarch said to Liu Kuan,""How is Lord Zong Zheng's investigation of Liu Bei's royal bloodline coming along?”
Although it had been decided in private, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.
"Your Majesty, this lowly subject has repeatedly and carefully checked. Liu Bei and Liu Xuande of Zhuo County, Youzhou, were the great-great-grandchildren of the 18th generation of the late Emperor Jing. They were undoubtedly relatives of the Han Dynasty. According to seniority, he is His Majesty's younger brother!" Zong Zhengda Liu Kuan stepped forward and reported.
"Yes!" Emperor Liu Hong responded to Liu Kuan and said,""My dear ministers, do you have any questions about Liu Bei's identity as a Han royal relative?”
All the ministers in the court naturally sang praises and congratulated him. The royal family recognized their own relatives, so who would be the one to oppose it?
"Good! Liu Bei lost his father when he was young. It is really sad and bitter. Now he has acknowledged his ancestors and returned to the clan. I want to reward him. I wonder if you have any good suggestions!”Emperor Liu Hong was full of pride.
"Your Majesty, this old servant thinks that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are young and should not be given official positions. It would be better to give them some material rewards!”Cheng Huang jumped out. It was actually nonsense.
"Yes, Minister Cheng is right.”The Spirit Monarch smiled at Liu Bei and asked,""Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Reporting to brother emperor, this minister's brother is indeed young, but as the saying goes, ambition does not depend on age. Does youth mean that this minister's brother is incompetent?”Liu Bei grumbled a little gloomily.
"Hahahaha!" Emperor Liu Hong laughed and said," You, Liu Bei, were taught by the gods in your dreams. You were born with knowledge. Your poems are not bad. Who dares to say that you are incompetent?" How about this, I'll confer you the title of Divine Marquis. As for the fief, I won't give it to you. I'll make it up to you in the future.”
"Divine Marquis Liu Bei!"
When Liu Bei heard this title, three people immediately appeared in his mind. They were Marquis Wen, Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, the Plague Monkey, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, and the Iron Gut Divine Marquis, Zhu Budian.
Well, these three guys were all very arrogant, and their endings were not too good.
"Your Majesty, you can't! The first Gaozu had an instruction that no one without the surname Liu could be granted the title of king, and no one without military merit could be granted the title of marquis!”Before Liu Bei could thank him, an old official rolled out from the side and asked for a memorial.
"No way!" Liu Bei was already very sick of the Emperor's cousin Liu Hong just giving him an honorary title. This time, he was even more unhappy.
This Deity Overlord title was like an honorary title in the future, without any practical meaning. This was especially so after the Ten Attendants of the Eternal Court had randomly conferred various marquises.
Of course, it was another matter if he was conferred the title of Marquis.
All the officials in the court were also a little confused about the random rewards given by Emperor Liu Hong. Now that they saw someone coming out to retort, they all looked like they were watching a show. This group of fellows did not have much moral integrity, and they were even talking about weight.
"Sir, may I ask if my surname is Liu? His Majesty has not been conferred the title of King. The instructions of the late Gaozu didn't say that the surname Liu couldn't be conferred the title of marquis, right?”Liu Bei suppressed the depression in his heart and asked obediently.
"You, you, you're twisting logic!”The old minister's face turned red and he stuttered.
"Your Majesty, this old servant thinks that the Divine Marquis is right.”At this time, Jian Shuo, the constant attendant, came out of the class to report.
Jian Shuo even said sarcastically to the anxious and incoherent minister,""Qiao Xuan, how dare you. His Majesty has already rewarded you, but does he still want to listen to you?”
"Qiao Xuan?" When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Qiao Xuan. This guy had a strong personality and could be considered a good official. He also had a long life.
"Plop!" With a bang, Qiao Xuan, whose face was red, fell to the ground in the hall in a daze.
Wow, this is called scamming!
It was a classic case of dying at the slightest disagreement.
Liu Bei was completely speechless.
