Liu Xie received so many gifts, and it was impossible not to say anything at all. So in the name of celebrating the crown prince, he held a grand banquet.

The ministers happily went and once again prepared gifts for Liu Xie, which Liu Xie had not expected.

Liu Xie, who had made a lot of money, was rarely arrogant, and asked Cao Cao to reward food to the people of Shouchun.

Cao Cao was originally unwilling, didn't he just give birth to a son, and he could use it so much? He Cao Cao has more sons, and he doesn't necessarily have to be so extravagant. What's more, all kinds of money and food are a bit tight now, and there is no way to waste it so much.

But Liu Xie insisted on this, he didn't need the expenditure of the treasury, all the expenses were his own responsibility, anyway, he had received so many gifts recently, and he wouldn't make money if he kept them, so it was better to reward them to the people, so that the people could remember him as a son of heaven.

Liu Xie insisted on this, and Cao Cao could not continue to oppose it, as long as the treasury was not used, Liu Xie could do whatever he wanted, and Cao Cao would send people to assist.

The people of Shouchun are looking at what rewards the court will have, and generally if important good things happen in the court, then the people of the capital will be rewarded, at least they will be rewarded with some wine and meat. But the people also know that now is a critical moment, the court and another emperor, Emperor Shenwu, need money and food in many aspects, so for the reward of wine and meat, the people don't dare to expect more, just hope that the court can give them a little bit of rice and grain.

In the end, when the officials of the imperial court brought wine and meat from door to door, the people were excited, the imperial court was a good court, and there were really rewards that should be there.

The officials also said that His Majesty personally took it out of his purse, hoping that the people would be grateful. The people didn't react, they usually live hard, what is this bit of wine and meat, and now everything in the world belongs to the emperor, although there is another Shenwu Emperor, but taking out this thing will not make Emperor Jian'an bleed, so the people should eat and drink, which made the officials very embarrassed.

After Liu Xie received such a return, he regretted it in his heart, if you knew that it was such a result, Liu Xie would not be so generous. Liu Xie's usual life is tight, it is rare to be so generous, and he actually got such a result, and he is full of tears when he talks too much.

Liu Xie couldn't control the thoughts of the ordinary people, and he was now drinking and watching songs and dances with his ministers. The eyes of the ministers were attracted by the wonderful figure of the singer in the middle of the hall, and they were all very happy to see it.

And a person rushed to the palace, he was Liu Bei, he came day and night, fortunately he didn't miss this banquet.

The eunuch knew Liu Bei's identity, and immediately came to the main hall to report: "Your Majesty, Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei Liu Xuande has come to meet you!" ”

"Uncle Huang is here, please hurry up!" Liu Xie had a good impression of Liu Bei, and hurriedly summoned Liu Bei into the main hall.

The singers hurriedly withdrew, and the ministers who were watching it were a little unhappy, Liu Bei is really not a thing, but he came here at this time, isn't it a disappointment.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, what did Liu Bei do when he came to Shouchun, didn't he let him guard in Xiapi Town?

"Minister Liu Bei and Liu Xuande pay a visit to Your Majesty." Liu Bei tidied up the clothes on his body and stood in the middle of the main hall.

"Uncle Huang is exempt!" Liu Xie said happily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Bei kowtowed.

Cao Cao said suddenly: "Xuande, as a pastor in Xuzhou, you are not guarding in Xuzhou, what is the matter with coming to Shouchun?" ”

The ministers all felt that Cao Cao's tone was not good, and their eyes all looked at Liu Bei, this guy turned out to be leaving his post without permission.

"Back to the prime minister's words, the lower officials heard that the prince and the princess had come into the world, and the civil and military officials and ordinary people in Xuzhou were all overjoyed, and specially invited the lower officials to lead their hearts to congratulate His Majesty on the joy of the dragon and the phoenix. Xiaguan felt their heart to serve the country, so Xiaguan came to Shouchun day and night to celebrate His Majesty and offer gifts. "Liu Bei's face is the thickest, and anything that comes to him can give him a fair and honest reason.

Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao would definitely know about the emptying of the treasury, and it was better to say that the people were voluntary, so even if Cao Cao knew, he couldn't say anything. Could it be that Cao Cao still has to worry about this thing? Apparently impossible.

That's right, Cao Cao already knew, but he didn't care too much, it was just the treasury of a small pei city, and if it was lost, it would be lost, and it was not a big deal.

Cao Cao did not answer Liu Bei's words, and was directly silent.

"Your Majesty, this is a gift from the minister on behalf of the people of Xuzhou." Liu Bei took out a book and held it in his hand.

A eunuch took it, and then trotted respectfully to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie took a look at it, and secretly sighed in his heart that Liu Bei was generous, the gift was actually 500 gold, 300 cloth, 100 silk, and 100 gold, silver and jade.

Liu Xie sighed that Liu Bei was really too generous, he knew that his life as an imperial uncle was not good, and it was rare for him to have such a heart.

Liu Xie said with emotion: "I already know the intentions of Uncle Huang and the people of Xuzhou. Come on, give Uncle Huang a seat! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! There is another thing about the minister, the minister is unwell during this period and cannot contribute to the country, so he wants to ask His Majesty to resign and go home to farm. Liu Bei said.

Liu Xie looked dissatisfied, why did he come to this set again, he resigned and went home to farm at every turn, I don't know that I just hope to rely on you, the imperial uncle, to grasp the military power, and prepare to have some resistance in the future.

Although Liu Xie didn't like Liu Bei to resign at every turn, whether Liu Bei really wanted to go home and farm, as the emperor, he still kept it and said: "Uncle Huang doesn't want to be like this, the court still needs Uncle Huang." ”

Liu Bei saw that Liu Xie still didn't understand what he meant, and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister received the post of Xuzhou pastor by the grace of heaven, but he was unable to resist foreign enemies, so that the land was lost, and most of Xuzhou fell into the hands of traitors. ”

Liu Xie finally understood, Cao Cao also understood, and the ministers also understood, isn't it that Xuzhou is very dangerous, you don't want to stay there and be afraid, just say no? Talking about a lot of things with a twist and turn?

Liu Xie still didn't want to give up Liu Bei, so he looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao knew that it would be useless for Liu Bei to continue to stay in Xuzhou. At that time, the reason for Liu Bei to be the pastor of Xuzhou was to allow Liu Bei to restrain Guan Yu, but Guan Yu did not care about Liu Bei's existence at all, and in the end, he was even more powerful and captured most of the counties in Xuzhou. Moreover, Xiahou Yuan didn't like Liu Bei either, and it was not interesting for Cao Cao to continue to force Liu Bei to stay in Xuzhou, which would make Xuzhou unable to unite.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Cao said: "Runan County still lacks a Taishou, I don't know if Xuande Gong is willing to go." ”

Liu Xie found that Cao Cao was really generous to Liu Bei, and he actually gave a Taishou. Runan County is a good place with a large population.

Liu Xie didn't know the specific situation at all, Runan is a big county, yes, and the population is also very large, so it stands to reason that the Taishou in this place is a fat shortage. But this is the past, and now Runan is a mess, there are a lot of thieves and grass robbers in the county, and the previous Taishou was killed by thieves, so there will be such a vacancy.

The ministers who knew the situation thought that Cao Cao was pushing Liu Bei into the fire pit.

"Uncle Huang, I don't know what you think?" Liu Xie asked.

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Liu Bei didn't know what the situation was in Runan, and he thought that he could leave Xuzhou and be the Taishou of a big county, which was something he couldn't ask for, so he agreed immediately.

The ministers looked at Liu Bei with a playful expression, and now they are so happy, and you will cry after taking office.

To solve the concerns in his heart, Liu Bei also achieved his position to talk and laugh with the ministers. The ministers were all looking at Liu Bei like fools, and Liu Bei, who knew how to observe words and expressions, suddenly felt bad, and then Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao, who was looking at him with a smile, and his eyebrows rose a few times. Liu Bei's heart instantly became cold, this Runan is definitely not a good place, otherwise Cao Cao would not let him take up his post so happily. It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now.

Liu Bei knew that he had been fooled, and he was not so happy to eat this banquet.

However, everyone ignored Liu Bei's mood, and they continued to watch the singer's singing and dancing.

At this time, the eunuchs came to prepare for the report again, and the ministers were unhappy again, daring to love that today's song and dance could not be watched, and they were always interrupted.

The ministers looked at the eunuchs with unkind faces.

The eunuch was very nervous by the ministers, and stammered: "Your Majesty, the palace... There are caravans outside...... Sent a batch of gifts, saying yes... Liu Yu sent it to his nephew and niece. ”

The ministers were alarmed, Liu Yu sent it, what did he mean by sending a gift? It must be ill-intentioned.

Dong Cheng immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu's traitor must have bad intentions, and the minister suggested that he throw away all the things!" ”

"Lord Dong is right, Your Majesty must be careful, Liu Yu has always been insidious, and he often calculates others. If he smeared poison on top of the gift, it would be dangerous. Liu Bei also came out and said.

The ministers felt that what Liu Bei said was very reasonable, and they should be careful in everything.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Just a little gift, why do you need to be so cautious?" ”

"What does the Prime Minister think?" Liu Xie asked.

"Liu Yu is a person, the minister knows him very well. If you say that he is insidious and cunning, you are sure. But Liu Yu has one thing that he won't do, that is, to do it to the old and young, women and children, except for foreigners, of course. No matter what His Majesty's children say, they are Liu Yu's nephews and nieces, and no matter how shameless Liu Yu is, he will not disregard the eyes of the people of the world to do some inferior means. The minister estimated that Liu Yu would give a lot of expensive gifts this time, and it would be a pity if he threw them all away. Cao Cao knew Liu Yu very well and said his thoughts.

Liu Xie nodded when he heard this, if Liu Yu did something to assassinate his nephew on the gift, then everyone in the world would scold him, which was very unfavorable to Liu Yu.

Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Bring up Liu Yu's gift, and let you Aiqing see Emperor Shenwu's gift!" ”

It didn't take long for several palace guards to carry four large boxes to the main hall. The ministers were shocked, Liu Yu was so generous, and the gift was actually four large boxes.

"Open!" Liu Xie asked the guards to open four large boxes.

The boxes were opened by the guards, two of which were filled with toys and clothing, and the other two were filled with toys. One of the chests had a small chest inside.

Cao Cao and the ministers all scolded Liu Yu for being stingy, they thought it was some expensive gifts, but they didn't expect that they were all children's playthings, these were not valuable things. It is so disappointing that the dignified Shenwu Emperor actually sent these ordinary things.

It's just that Liu Xie behaved differently, he stood up directly from the throne, strolled to a few boxes, and then picked up one of the toys and played with it.

The ministers were all confused by Liu Xie's action, could it be that Liu Xie has become a father and is still interested in these things? It's a plaything!

Cao Cao seemed to understand something, and sighed that Liu Yu's gift was too high.

Why is Liu Association like this, because the toys and clothes in these two boxes are all things he played with and worn when he was a child. Many years later, when he was able to see these things again, Liu Xie couldn't help but fall into memories.

Back then, he was still a little kid who didn't understand anything, his mother died early, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, and he usually didn't have any playmates, and only Liu Yu, who was still dumb at the time, had the best play with himself. Liu Xie still remembered that he ran to Liu Yu to show off as soon as he had a new toy, but Liu Yu just smiled faintly and watched himself show off. Liu Xie recalled that Liu Yu's eyes were full of sincerity and pampering at that time.

It's a pity that all this can't go back now.

Liu Xie saw the other two boxes, which were full of some new toys and a small box, I am afraid that this is what Liu Yu really gave to the two children.

Liu Xie opened the small box, which contained a book and two copies of the royal family's jade butterfly. The names of Liu Fu and Liu Xing were written on the jade butterfly, indicating that Liu Yu recognized the royal status of the two of them.

Liu Xie opened the book and looked at it, and it wrote: "Brother Xie, do you still like the gift?" There were no expensive gifts for my brother, only I personally picked out some children's things and sent them. Regardless of the final outcome, you and I are still brothers. Brother, Liu Yu. ”

Liu Yu's letter full of brotherhood made Liu Xie silent. After a long time, Liu Xie said: "It's all gone." ”

Cao Cao and the ministers didn't know what was going on, but Liu Xie said so, and they had no choice but to leave.

Liu Xie moved these four big boxes to the dormitory of Queen Fu and her two children.

Empress Fu hurriedly came over to salute: "The concubine greets Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xie smiled and said, "The queen is exempt, I came to see the two children." ”

Empress Fu took Liu Xie to the two children, who were sleeping quietly on the bed. As soon as Liu Xie came, they woke up at the same time and smiled at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie took two toys, put them beside the two children, and said softly: "Child, this is from your uncle, this is what your father used to use." ”

When Queen Fu heard it, this was sent by Liu Yu?

The two children actually wanted to pick up their own toys, but they were so small, how could they afford to hold them, and their little faces were red.

This amused Liu Xie.

Liu Xie looked at the two children and thought: I hope you will remember in the future that your uncle is a good person.
