Chapter 3: Emperor Ling's betrayal

"The Marquis of Lucheng Pavilion and the Captain of the Cavalry have seen Your Majesty!"

Liu Bei looked high and carefully introduced the court etiquette to Liu Bei before entering the Dezheng Palace, and there were little eunuchs who took off their shoes and took off their swords before they were allowed to step into the Dezheng Palace, and Liu Bei stepped into the Dezheng Hall without even seeing the face of the Spirit Emperor and prostrated on the ground.

"Brother Wang, let me take a good look, I am a little similar to the ancestors of King Jing."

Emperor Ling's voice was extremely feminine, although the voice was loud, it was a little lacking in qi, which made Liu Bei, who listened to Zhang Fei's loud voice, very uncomfortable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bei got up, looked at his nose, nose and mouth, and mouth to heart, and could only look at Emperor Lingdi with his spare eyes, Emperor Ling was less than thirty years old, and there was already a small amount of white hair on his head, his face was feminine, his eyes were extremely smart, and his lips were extremely thin.

Emperor Ling was squinting his eyes and looking at Liu Bei carefully: "Long arms and big ears, Xuande is really a blessed person!" Ha ha! Take your seats! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Ling seemed to be in good spirits, and talked to Liu Bei about the genealogy of the Liu family in Lucheng, but fortunately, Liu Bei's previous memories were not lost, so he dealt with them one by one. After continuing the family tree, Emperor Ling nodded: "In this way, I and Xuande are still the same generation!"

At noon, Emperor Ling left Liu Bei to eat in the palace, after the meal, Emperor Ling changed into a businessman's dress, and the attendants around him were all dressed as small servants, and Emperor Ling asked Liu Bei on the way: "Brother Wang, how do you think I am sitting in this emperor?"

Belch! Emperor Ling asked Liu Bei at once, the second emperor of Huan and Ling of the Han Dynasty was the sign of the faint king, to tell the truth, Liu Bei did not have the guts, and he was speechless when he said flattery.

Seeing that Liu Bei was silent, Emperor Ling chuckled: "My brother is an honest gentleman!" I don't dare to compare myself to Yao Shun, but I am also willing to learn from Emperor Guangwu to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but ......, hey! Don't talk about it! ”

Emperor Ling said that he didn't know what to remember, and suddenly frowned and sighed, and then said: "Speaking of which, my brother is still a great hero of the chaos, what reward do you want?"

Liu Bei was confused by Emperor Ling's leaping thinking, but he remembered what Cai Yong said and hurriedly said: "The minister is a descendant of the surname Liu, and it is an unshirkable matter to protect my Liu family's country, how dare you ask Your Majesty for a reward?"

I don't know if Liu Bei's words had a taboo that provoked Emperor Ling, or if the refusal made Emperor Ling angry, in short, Emperor Ling's face was very ugly, and he said a little gloomy: "Huangfu Yizhen, Zhu Gongwei's foreign surname is also!" are all among the marquis, thorn history and other two thousand stone masters, you are my brother! How can you just be a little cavalry lieutenant? ”

Although the cavalry captain is also 2,000 stones, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty merged the duties of the county lieutenant into the command of the Taishou, and the cavalry lieutenant has become a noble idle position, no better than the lieutenant, and the lieutenant general has actual military power in his hands.

Emperor Ling did not give up, and Liu Bei was unwilling to change his mind: "How can you steal a high position with little talent and virtue?" Can't you be qualified to ride a captain? I also ask Your Majesty for permission to return to Youzhou to study. ”

If you don't want to be promoted, you have to resign? Emperor Ling really didn't expect Liu Bei to say this, and his gloomy face instantly softened: "Youzhou is a barren land!" Luoyang, the great Confucians gathered, my brother might as well study while learning to be an official. ”

Just what I wanted! Liu Bei couldn't wait to shout long live, and Emperor Ling took Liu Bei's hand and said: "Today, when I first saw my brother, I felt very cordial, and I took my brother to the West Garden for a walk, and if there is something to see, take it."

The West Garden was built by Emperor Ling after he succeeded to the throne and became an adult, and the proceeds from the sale of the official mantle were used to build the West Garden, which shows the prosperity of the West Garden.

Liu Bei heard the noisy noise from afar, Liu Bei's head was suddenly as big as a fight, but Emperor Ling was extremely excited: "My brother can take whatever he likes, don't be polite, I'll go and go back."

In Liu Bei's view, the so-called West Garden is a super shopping mall in the Han Dynasty, which sells all kinds of things, merchants, sellers, men, women, and children, shouting loudly.

Liu Bei didn't have anything to look at along the way, and from time to time a marketing method or item from later generations popped up in his mind to compare it and write it down silently.

Liu Bei shook his head and left a stall, and a businessman in his forties suddenly appeared in front of Liu Bei and said: "If you look at the child's extraordinary temperament, you must not look down on these anti-vulgar things, and there are some rare things in my store that will definitely enter the eyes of the child."

Liu Bei waved his hand: "No need! I just look at it casually, and I don't have the desire to buy anything! ”

The merchant said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you buy it or not, the key is that the son doesn't want to see what a strange thing it is?" See what's not worth it? ”

Emperor Ling threw down a sentence and disappeared, Liu Bei had the heart to leave, but how could he get out of the palace without a holy decree? I have nothing to do, so I just go with him to see what a strange thing it is!

"Lead the way."

However, dozens of steps away, Liu Bei saw a wide shop, and there was a plaque above the shop, with the number "Tianxia" on the plaque.

Is there a shop in the world? It's a big name, it's just a corner of the palace! Liu Bei thought about it and strode into the shop, how could there be anything strange to sell in the huge shop?

The merchant saw Liu Bei's doubts and said, "Son, please come inside."

As soon as you enter the inner room, all kinds of large and small ribbons are densely placed on the case, such as the case engraved with the word Youzhou, and the ribbons on it are all the county and county seals of Youzhou.

Liu Bei looked at Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yizhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Jiaozhou, Sili, the most seals on the Sili case, the general, the three dukes and nine qing, the lieutenants, the school captain, the Shangshu, the imperial history, the Lang, the big and small yellow doors, the princess and the seal ribbon have everything.

Liu Bei picked up a tiger talisman at random, the tiger roared and kicked his hooves, looking like he was attacking in the air, and the tiger body was engraved with two words "Tiger Ben", and there was a line of small characters on one side "engraved in the first three years of the Yuan Dynasty".

The merchant saw Liu Bei pick up the tiger talisman, and said happily: "This is the talisman of the tiger Ben Zhonglang general, buy one and get one free, this is the seal ribbon in the service, you take it!"

Liu Bei suddenly remembered that Emperor Ling had a tradition of selling official beards, and he didn't have time to buy an official before he resigned, so he hurriedly dropped the tiger talisman in his hand and said, "This tiger is very realistic, very good-looking."

"It's good-looking, just take it? Just take care of my business. ”

Emperor Ling came in from outside, Liu Bei was busy giving a gift, but Emperor Ling waved his hand: "This is not the Dezheng Palace, there is no need to give a gift, how about my brother's two seals count you as 20 million yuan?" You must know that if others don't have 50 million money, I will definitely not sell it, like Yuan Ben when he first became the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, it will also be 40 million yuan! I count you 20 million dollars, enough for brotherhood! ”

"Your Majesty, the Tiger Ben Zhonglang will be an important position, and the Tiger Ben Wei is also a court guard, and it may be difficult for the ministers to be incompetent!"

Liu Bei hurriedly refused.

Emperor Ling smiled slightly: "Xuande, do you think this official is small?" You can choose the Jinwu, Wei Wei and the five military captains, and the three princes and nine kings are not negotiable, I will be scolded by Yang Shi, how about selling you once? ”

Liu Bei heard that Emperor Ling was going to add an official to himself, so he hurriedly refused: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't mean this, the minister is really not qualified for the position of Tiger Ben Zhonglang General."

Emperor Ling said again: "My brother thinks the price is too high?" This can also be discussed again. ”
