Chapter 74: Verification of Identity
After three rounds of drinking, Liu Bei got up and said, "Thank you Prime Minister for your hospitality, and when you bother you, it's time for our three brothers to leave." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Liu Bei's words fell, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also stood up.
"Do the three of you have a place to live in Luoyang?" Fang Wen asked.
"I'm ashamed that the three of my brothers can only live in the inn. Liu Bei said.
"I have an empty house, so I might as well give it to the three heroes. ā
There are a lot of empty houses in Fang Wen's hands. Not to mention the soup kitchens he bought before, let's just say that there are quite a few houses of rich people and officials that he has recently confiscated.
Fang Wen thought about distributing these houses to the people in the city next, so that they would have a home. This can also be regarded as putting Luoyang City on the right track.
"How this makes. "Liu Bei will not accept Fang Wen's house easily.
After all, Fang Wen is now the prime minister, and Fang Wen gave Liu Bei a house, which is a reward.
And receiving Fang Wen's reward is equivalent to Liu Bei recognizing Fang Wen as the master.
How could Liu Bei recognize Fang Wen as the master?
"Xu is a hero, I don't think I'm used to living in that empty house. In that case, it is not mandatory. Fang Wen said.
"Then I'll take my leave. Liu Bei said and turned around to leave.
"What else does the prime minister command?" Liu Bei asked.
"The three heroes want to live in the post station, so do they have any silver?" Fang Wen asked.
"This~" Liu Bei has no gold, he just plans to sleep on the streets.
Fang Wen came to Liu Bei and stuffed a piece of gold to Liu Bei and said, "This gold is even if I give it to the hero." The three must be subordinate. ā
Liu Bei really needed the money at this time, so he didn't refuse, "Then Liu Bei will be cheeky to follow." ā
At this time, Fang Wen said, "Tomorrow morning, Chao Xuande can come to my house." I'll take you to meet the Holy One. You are a relative of the Imperial Family. How can you not even visit Your Majesty? ā
Hearing Fang Wen say that he wanted to introduce him to the Holy Lord, Liu Bei felt a burst of excitement in his heart. As long as he meets the saint, his identity is justified.
"Then thank you Prime Minister. Liu Bei said excitedly.
When Liu Bei turned around and was about to leave, Zhang Fei said again, "Prime Minister, what about the wine you promised to give me Lao Zhang? ā
"Just outside in the carriage, ready for the three of them. Fang Wen said.
"Haha. Zhang Fei smiled, "Then thank you Prime Minister and say goodbye." ā
Subsequently, Liu Bei and the three left.
Watching Liu Bei and the three of them leave the mansion, Cai Yan came over and asked, "Why is the husband so good to the three of them? Do you want to take these three people for your own use? Then why don't you just contract them?"
Cai Yan was very puzzled in his heart.
Fang Wen shook his head and said, "I didn't think about taking them for my own use. ā
"What is that, husband?" Cai Yan was even more puzzled.
"I just wanted to talk to them. Fang Wen said.
"Then why is it so good for them. Cai Yan was puzzled, isn't this Fang Wen's style?
"Because they will be our future enemies. Fang Wen said.
"Enemy?" Cai Yan didn't understand anymore, since they were enemies, why not get rid of them?
Fang Wen knew Cai Yan's thoughts, so he said, "Although they will be my enemies, they will help me." So I'm going to keep them alive until he can help me. ā
Cai Yan really didn't understand what Fang Wen meant. However, since Fang Wen said so, there is a reason for Fang Wen. Cai Yan will always support Fang Wen's decision.
The next day, Fang Wen took Liu Bei to the top of the court to meet Liu Xie.
Fang Wen entered the main hall directly, while Liu Bei took off his shoes and handed the sword to the eunuch. And he didn't dare to enter the hall directly, so he could only kneel in front of the court and wait for Liu Xie to summon him.
He has no merit now, it is impossible to see Liu Xie, if Fang Wen brings him to see Liu Xie, he will not even have the qualifications to kneel there and wait.
Soon, Liu Bei heard the voice of the eunuch.
"Xuan Liu Xuande Audience~"
Liu Bei hurriedly got up, lowered his head, and walked quickly into the court.
Liu Bei only dared to raise his head and glanced at the high platform, only to see Liu Xie, who was about ten years old, sitting there, with Fang Wen sitting beside him.
"Minister Liu Bei knocked to see Your Majesty. Liu Bei said and fell to his knees again.
Fang Wen looked at Liu Bei who was kneeling there, and laughed in his heart. What if Liu Bei has great ambitions in his heart? When he sees Liu Xie, he still has to kneel and kowtow? Who dares to dance a sword in front of Liu Xie in a cloth cloth like him, splashing blood in five steps?
Liu Xie looked at Liu Bei and asked in a childish voice, "Dare to ask where Liu Aiqing's ancestors are?"
Since the last time Liu Xie opened his mouth to let Wang Yuncloth return to his hometown, Fang Wen did not blame Liu Xie, Liu Xie has been much bolder, so he dared to say this to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei, who was kneeling there, was excited when he heard Liu Xie ask him about his origin. He knew his time had come. As long as Liu Xie recognizes his identity as a member of the Han family, who will dare to question his identity as a member of the Han family in the future?
I only heard Liu Bei say, "The minister is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, the grandson of his grandfather Liu Xiong, and the son of his father Liu Hong." ā
When Liu Xie heard Liu Bei say this, his heart was excited. In this way, Liu Bei is not his relative.
He has been controlled by Dong Zhuo for so many years, and now he is controlled by Fang Wen, and he is frightened in his heart. Now that I see Liu Bei's relative, it is really a long drought and a rainy day!
"So, you're my royal family. According to the generation, I should call you Uncle Huang. Liu Xie was also excited in his heart.
Fang Wen heard this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, how can this matter of recognizing the imperial family be so hasty?"
Fang Wen didn't mean to embarrass Liu Bei, but since Liu Bei said that he was the imperial prince, he should boldly verify it, so as to dispel the doubts in the hearts of those ministers.
When Liu Xie heard Fang Wen say this, he was startled in his heart, thinking that Fang Wen was blaming him for talking too much.
"That's what the prime minister said. Liu Xie only promised, "What does the prime minister think it should be?"
Fang Wen smiled, and secretly sighed in his heart that Liu Xie was really immature, and if he wanted him to write down the edict, he would have to wait another ten years.
"Since this Liu Bei is His Majesty's royal relative, let's use the royal family genealogy to verify and verify Liu Bei's identity. Only then can it be concluded that Liu Bei in front of him is a member of the royal family. Fang Wen said.
"What the prime minister said is, quickly take the royal family genealogy. Liu Xie hurriedly said.
Soon, someone came to the palace with the genealogy of the royal family, and after some verification, Liu Bei was indeed a member of the royal family.
It's just that whether the Liu Bei mentioned in the file is the Liu Bei in front of him is still unknown. It is also necessary to verify the body to know whether Liu Bei in front of him is really a royal clansman.
"I don't know how the prime minister thinks he should verify his identity?" asked Liu Xie.
"This, you only need to go to Liu Bei's hometown of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, and find the local land protection, and you will definitely be able to verify your identity. Fang Wen said.
"When will this be successful?" Liu Xie said.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the imperial family is very involved, and it cannot be pretended! even if it takes a little longer, it is worth it. Fang Wen said.
