Chapter 348 Liu Huangdi

Liu Bei's entry into Beijing was very smooth this time. He followed Fang Zhiwen's advice. After leaving Miyun, he went to Jixian to visit Liu Yu first and had a secret talk with Liu Yu. There was no need for Liu Bei's own request. Liu Yu heard that Liu Bei's book had been lost, so he immediately enthusiastically wrote a letter for Liu Bei, asking Liu Bei to take the handwritten certificate to go to the Zongzheng Liu Yan in the capital to exchange for the official book, which was considered to be a major problem.

It also allowed Liu Bei to further confirm what Fang Zhiwen and Tian Feng said. As expected, now the emperor is in urgent need of foreign aid, otherwise Liu Yu would not be more anxious to solve his identity problem than himself.

After a secret talk with Liu Yu and Liu Bei, he was very convinced of Liu Bei's intention to take charge of Jingzhou. Although the four battles in Jingzhou were in the hands of Liu Bei, there was no problem with the defense of Zhang, two peerless generals. As for future development, it was just in line with Fang Zhiwen's words. As long as Liu Bei could gather more talents and have a great place for Jingzhou, he would definitely establish a foundation for the royal family in the future.

If Liu Yu hadn't had anyone in his hands, maybe Liu Yu would have snatched Jingzhou first. Therefore, the place where Liu Bei chose Jingzhou is really good, which also made Liu Yu more confident in Liu Bei.

Because the matter was urgent, Liu Yu did not leave Liu Bei to linger in Ji County, but quickly prepared the taxes to escort into Beijing, and allocated a thousand cavalry to Liu Bei, combining Liu Bei's original two thousand infantry, and one person took one thousand soldiers. After he was ready, Liu Bei took his brothers and couldn't wait to go south to the capital.

In just one day, Liu Bei and his three brothers finally stepped into the urban circle of the capital. You can see the magnificent and tall city walls from afar. On the road, there are even more people shouting and neighing horses. The closer they get to the capital, the more pedestrians and carriages there are on the road. They actually feel like they are shoulder to shoulder. It is indeed the capital of the Han Dynasty!

The three brothers of Liu Bei first placed the troops and supplies in the barracks outside the city, and then the three changed their clothes and went straight to Zong Zhengsi. With Liu Yu's handwritten letter, Liu Yan naturally would not have any explanation. Instead, he warmly received Liu Bei, and then prepared a book for Liu Bei, and told Liu Bei that he would pass on the news of his arrival to the emperor. At the same time, he also asked Liu Bei to visit Zhang Rang, and then formally requested to pay homage to the emperor according to Zhang Rang's arrangement.

Next, the three brothers Liu Bei did not have time to visit the prosperous Luoyang, but ran around to contact relevant personnel. On the third day, they finally entered Zhang Rang's mansion. Although the three brothers all disliked this arrogant and extravagant eunuch and wanted to kill this domineering guy with one knife. But now they can only pinch their noses and endure it.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were blinded, so they simply stood at the gate of the courtyard as guards, and did not enter the house at all. Liu Bei went to negotiate with Zhang Rang alone. Fortunately, Liu Bei had already received the guidance of Fang Zhiwen and used a gold ticket to open the way.

On the one hand, he was deported to the tax, on the other hand, he was to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and there was also an important thing, that was, to ask for a fighting arena. In fact, Zhang Rang was most interested in this. As for what Liu Bei said about requesting the title of the governor of Jingzhou in order to protect the emperor, Zhang Rang was not very concerned about it.

To be honest, compared with the huge benefits that may be brought by the fighting arena, is imperial power really that important? Zhang Rang and others, who are ignorant, have always firmly believed that although the aristocratic tribes in the court are very powerful, they will never dare to take the blame for the emperor, as long as the emperor remains. The good days for these eunuchs will be there.

And Liu Bei, the royal relatives who came out of nowhere, were nothing!

But Liu Bei was very smart. He wrote the letter of asking for the opening of the fighting arena together with the letter of asking for the return of the throne, and even mixed it with each other. Zhang Rang didn't even want to mention Liu Bei. Moreover, Liu Bei also said that he had already gone to Zongzheng to exchange for a book, so Liu Yan might have reported Liu Bei's affairs to the emperor. Zhang Rang would probably not be able to swallow the credit for asking for the opening of the fighting arena.

However, compared to the actual operation of the fighting arena, the rewards for the request were greater, but the operation was more profitable. Zhang Rang pinched his nose and accepted it. Moreover, Liu Bei was also very good at respecting himself. This is what he said.

When Liu Bei and his three brothers returned to the inn, they waited for news. Since it was related to their future and even the fate of the man, the three brothers had no mood to wander around. Moreover, Liu Bei was also afraid that his third brother, the person who caused trouble, would go out and cause trouble, so he simply stayed away. Zhang Fei had to drink in the inn all day depressedly, or let the inn owner find a few secret doors to come to the inn to play.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were both nervously waiting for the emperor's summons.

In Liu Bei's nervous mood, good news came from the summoning of the emperor, which made Liu Bei breathe a sigh of relief and even more nervous, because in the future, the three brothers who had porridge and meals were the result of this summoning.

Before dawn the next day, Liu Bei and his three brothers started preparing early, put on newly purchased clothes, and then went out to wait outside the palace gate. Along the way, they had to repeatedly remind Zhang Fei not to speak casually. This matter is important, and they must not lose their big mistakes because of small things.

In fact, Liu Bei was too unaware of his relatives. The three brothers stood outside the palace gate and waited until dawn, and were then put into the palace. Under the leadership of a small yellow gate, they waited under a palace corridor until the sunset was setting. They were not starved to death in the palace. Fortunately, Zhang Fei had always had the habit of hiding food privately.

When Liu Bei's three brothers were taken to the hall, all the ministers were still present. I believe that everyone was deeply afraid of the great-grandson of the King of Zhongshan who suddenly appeared, who wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, so they could not allow the emperor to meet with Liu Bei privately.

Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to show a respectful gift. The emperor seemed to be very curious about Liu Bei and specifically asked Liu Bei to speak closer. According to Liu Yan's genealogy, Liu Bei was the same generation as the emperor, and should be the emperor's brother. The emperor carefully asked Liu Bei about his past, especially he was particularly interested in the three brothers' contributions on the grassland.

In the end, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu showed their skills. In order to test Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's ability, the emperor specially invited Wang Yue to come. It is also very interesting that these two peerless generals use war in the court, but naturally, they cannot really start killing in the court, so Wang Yue and the two just tried it. As expected, both of them were peerless generals, and Wang Yue naturally did not stingy in praise. To be honest, Wang Yue and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu can gain a little advantage in the competition. If they were on the battle formation, Wang Yue might not be able to take three moves.

The emperor seemed in a good mood, and there were two red tides on his slightly pale face. After admiring the competitions of several people, the emperor generously granted Zhang Fei and Guan Yu a miscellaneous title of General Polite and General Pinglu, and formally accepted Liu Bei's recognition of his ancestors and returned to his ancestors. He called Liu Bei the emperor's brother in the church, and asked Zongzheng Liu Yan to prepare for the ceremony of proclaiming his ancestors and let Liu Bei worship his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Liu Bei was even more happy and could not find the state of North.

These are the family affairs of the emperor, so it is hard for everyone to say anything. As for the two miscellaneous generals who were enthroned, the ministers didn't care at all. The ministers were concerned about Liu Bei's enthronement arrangements, but the emperor didn't know whether it was forgot or intentional, but he broke up and did not mention this matter anyway.

As time passed, the emperor became more and more tired and impatient. Not only did Liu Bei become more and more uneasy, but even the ministers in the court began to feel a little suspicious, not knowing what medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.

Finally, the emperor finally signaled Zhang Rang who was standing beside him. Zhang Rang took out an edict from his sleeve and opened it and read it.

The content of the edict is actually what the emperor said just now. On the one hand, he recalled the past of the King of Zhongshan, and then talked about some of Liu Bei's deeds and contributions. By the way, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were also included. Then he formally conferred the miscellaneous general ranks of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and then confirmed the identity of the emperor's brother for Liu Bei. In the last sentence, he mentioned that Liu Bei submitted a letter to open a fighting arena, and the emperor also followed it, and then handed over the matter to Zhang Rang for execution. The edict was finished here.

Liu Bei felt very cold. This time he ran from Youzhou to the capital, full of ambition to support the country and stabilize the world, but who knew that he had achieved such a result now. Although the three brothers were promoted and had a false royal status, he had no real power, which was idle.

This hit Liu Bei with a heavy blow, his chest was so stuffy that he felt ache, and he had the urge to squirt blood. Even Guan Yu's eyes began to get a little distorted, and Zhang Fei even had his leopard eyes widened. If the one above wasn't the emperor, Zhang Fei might have started to scold him.

The ministers below were also surprised. They thought the emperor would value Liu Bei to check and balance the aristocratic ministers in the court. Who would have thought that the emperor would have idle these three powerful men who had the ability and force. This was really beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone did not react for a while. It was not until the emperor gently concluded that the ministers came to their senses and found that they had been fooled by the smart emperor. Unfortunately, it was too late at this time.

"Since all the ministers have no objection, then this edict will be issued to the world and the court will be dispersed!"

"The emperor retreated!" With the shout of Xiaohuangmen, the emperor cleverly won the game and easily took down the construction and management power of the fighting arena, and the benefits here were greatly improved.

Although most ministers do not know what the fighting arena is, some people have indeed known it. Even these people have received similar suggestions. Unexpectedly, today the emperor tried his best to get the power to open a fighting arena. The benefits here must be huge.

Unfortunately, due to the emperor's clever arrangement, this matter was taken lightly by the emperor. Now it is too late to regret it.

However, to put it bluntly, this kind of thing still needs the support of local tyrants. Therefore, the aristocratic races who controlled the local area were not completely unrecovered. The rest was to see how to divide this big pie.

As for Liu Bei, he has been completely forgotten now. The three brothers were following the ministers far behind dejectedly, as if all their strength had been pulled away, and they slowly moved out of the palace step by step.

"Three sirs, please stay, our sirs will invite you."

Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Your master is... Our master is Mr. Zhang, please come with our family, don't say anything." (To be continued) rq!~!
