Cai Yong likes literature, mathematics, astronomy, and is good at music, and at the same time, his knowledge of history is also extremely profound.

In addition, he has a very large collection of books, more than 10,000 volumes. Over the years, he has been exiled and displaced, but these books have not been discarded or lost, and he will always take them with him wherever he goes.

These, in fact, are an endless treasure trove.

These books, now in the Plains Palace, were brought by Cai Yong.

Liu Xian really can't imagine how Cai Yong has kept these scrolls over the years, and how he has taken these scrolls everywhere.

After asking Cai Yong, I learned that he had worked hard to protect these books for himself, and the stories in them could be written as a long compilation.

Cai Yong is now Liu Xian's person, and he is a little anxious to go to Yangshi County and Liulin Village to see what Liu Xian's Liufu Academy looks like.

When Huang Zhong led the caravan to escort the people of Zhaojia Village out of the Plains Palace, he thought about going together. But Ma Guiren kept him.

Now that the Plains Mansion has been smoothly handed over to Liu Xian, the original descendants of the Plains Mansion who had problems with their origins have all been cleared out.

But Ma Guiren's wish has not been fulfilled, she asked Cai Yong to choose a good day for her, and officially announced the acceptance of Liu Xian as her adopted son.

This confession ceremony is necessary for several reasons.

The most important thing is that Ma Guiren knows very well that the imperial court will not let the Plains Royal Mansion have a queen, but this will not be stopped on the surface. If the matter of her accepting Liu Xian as her adopted son is not made public, then the imperial court will definitely secretly treat Liu Xian badly, and it is not surprising to send someone to assassinate Liu Xian. But after it is made public, then you have to take into account some influences, at least you won't be openly about Liu Xian, even if you send someone to assassinate Liu Xian, you have to think about it.

Another reason, in the heart of Ma Guiren, this is actually not a ceremony to receive a righteous son, but a sacrifice ceremony that allows Liu Xian to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. But because he couldn't really disclose Liu Xian's true identity, he had to use the method of accepting his son to let Liu Xian recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

Doing so, in fact, is just a matter of seeking peace of mind. Mingli won't say it, but he and Liu Xian know what it is in their hearts. Of course, there are also people who know Liu Xian's true identity, and they all know what this is actually about.

The other is to help Liu Xian expand his influence and promote Liu Xian's reputation. These will be beneficial to Liu Xian's future development.

Cai Yong himself is proficient in various ritual customs. He is good at writing memorial texts and so on, so it is best for him to choose good times and auspicious days, preside over the sacrificial ceremonies, etc.

This matter is indeed Ma Guiren's heart, if she doesn't do it officially, then she really feels that something is missing. It's like marrying a wife in the future, if you don't hold a marriage ceremony, you will feel like you haven't married a daughter-in-law, and you will always feel unreliable.

Liu Xian really wants his aunt to live a more secure and down-to-earth life in the future, think about her marrying into the Plains Mansion when she was more than ten years old, and soon Liu Shuo, the King of the Plains, died of illness, and the entire palace is supported by only a woman like her, and it is really not easy for more than ten or twenty years.

Anyway, she is indeed Liu Xian's dear relative in this world, so Liu Xian also wants to do her filial piety as much as possible and make her happy as much as possible. It is precisely this kind of thought, therefore, Liu Xian didn't say much about the family affair with the Kong family that she arranged for herself, and it was agreed upon after it was agreed, and at most he spent some effort to appease other women.

Liu Xian provided Cai Yong with the true birth date of his body, combined with Ma Guiren's birthday, etc., he chose a date, which happened to be the day when the second dragon raised its head in February. He thinks that it is most appropriate for Liu Xian to hold a recognition ceremony with Ma Guiren on this day.

Ma Guiren naturally readily agreed, and the second dragon raised its head in February, this day was indeed a good day.

But time is a little tight, in a few days.

She immediately asked Cai Yong to write some more invitations, and then sent people to send them to some famous families in nearby counties, inviting them to the plain palace to have a banquet and witness her ceremony of accepting Liu Xian as her righteous son.

Naturally, this also includes government officials from nearby counties, at least officials such as county commanders and county lieutenants must have been invited. In addition, even if some people are not famous families, as long as they have some prestige in the local area, they will be invited, even the elders of ordinary villages, they will also be invited.

Liu Xian also deliberately sent a fast horse back to Liulin Village to invite his uncle Liang Ji. This Huang Zhong has already escorted the people of Zhaojia Village back, and then Huang Zhong can escort Liang Ji and them over.

Liu Xian did not forget Zhang Ning, who stayed in Quyang, and also sent someone to inform her and let her come to the Plains Palace. Also, he also sent people to Anxi County, Zhongshan Province, and invited Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to come.

Now that Huangfu Song has not been dismissed by the imperial court, he is still the pastor of Jizhou, Liu Xian thought about it, and also sent invitations to him and Guo Dian respectively. However, the two of them, one is the Jizhou pastor and the other is the Julu county guard, and there are too many affairs to preside. They were also hundreds of miles away from this plain palace, and Liu Xian estimated that they might not come. But it doesn't matter if they come or not, Liu Xian still has to be invited.

Ma Guiren also discussed with Kong Rong, and on this day, Liu Xian's marriage with the Kong family will be announced at the same time. Therefore, for Liu Xian, it is indeed a more important day.

On the one hand, it is equivalent to recognizing one's ancestors and returning to one's ancestors, and on the other hand, it is a major event in one's own life.

Suddenly, the people of the Plains Palace began to get busy.

Liu Xian If Ma Guiren had talked to Cai Yong about the day of recognition earlier, Liu Xian could have left the people from Liu's caravan and the people from Zhaojia Village to help, but after they left, Ma Guiren would talk to Cai Yong about these things.

However, there were originally hundreds of people in the Plains Palace, and after most of them were cleared, there were still two or three hundred people left. Liu Xian also left one or two hundred guards of the Liu Mansion caravan, and this man was also sufficient.

The news that the Ma nobles of the Plains Mansion received their righteous son really spread.

In recent years, affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, people everywhere have had a difficult life and panic. Even if the Yellow Turban Army is defeated now, there are still too many remnants of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou, and most people are still extremely worried.

However, this time, the news of the Plains Palace's affairs spread, but many people made the public feel some of the atmosphere of the restoration of normal social order.

It's really been a long time since I've had such a big feast. Therefore, at this time, it also became a topic of conversation among the people.

The nobles of the Plains Mansion have always been relatively low-key, especially in the past ten years, and the ordinary people are afraid that they have forgotten it. Now this fame has suddenly made many people suddenly remember, it turns out that the Plains Palace, the former residence of the former emperor, still exists, and there are still people.

Ma Guiren is the wife of the younger brother of the first emperor, which is indeed an extremely noble nobleman.

But who is Liu Xian? actually got into the eyes of Ma Guiren and accepted him as a righteous son?

Who is Liu Xian?

At this time, it became a topic of discussion among the general public. But this, as soon as I inquired, I immediately knew it again.

It turned out that this Liu Xian was the young master of Liu Mansion in Liulin Village, Xiatao County, Julu County, and was originally a member of the Han family. This is just right, he was originally a member of the Han family, and now he has been accepted as a righteous son by Ma Guiren and has entered the plain palace, and the ordinary people feel that it is very suitable and reasonable. Seriously, if Ma Guiren casually accepts someone as his righteous son, I'm afraid there will really be many people who feel that it is not suitable.

After all, it is the Plains Palace, it is already equivalent to a noble palace that has broken off the incense, why should any bastard be so lucky that he can become the righteous son of Ma Guiren and the heir of the Plains Palace? If Liu Xian did not have a certain background, he would definitely be targeted by many people.

Of course, this ordinary person's eyes will not have any impact on Liu Xian, but the so-called public mouth is gold. Everyone said that it was not good, so Liu Xian only had a bad reputation.

If it is some famous families, some people who have greater influence in the society openly oppose it, thinking that Ma Guiren casually accepts a person of unknown origin as his righteous son, and it is not good for this person to inherit everything in the plain palace. Then it will also put a lot of pressure on Ma Guiren.

Because the matter of Ma Guiren's acceptance of Yizi will definitely spread to the imperial court soon, and when the time comes, anyone will participate in a copy, which may be extremely unfavorable to Liu Xian.

Anyway, let's put it this way, if Liu Xian is just an ordinary person, even if Liu Xian has the identity of this Han clan and dares to become the righteous son of the Ma nobleman of the Plains Palace, then there is only one way to die. Anyone who spied on the wealth of the Plains Mansion would not let Liu Xian go.

It's a pity that Liu Xian is not an ordinary person, whether it is identity or something else, Liu Xianxian is really in charge of the Plains Palace, and he is ready to fight against those people or forces who want to kill him.

Now, at least the people won't say much, thinking that it is appropriate for Ma Guiren to accept Liu Xian as a righteous son.

Because they not only inquired about Liu Xian's origin, but also learned about some of the deeds Liu Xian has done in recent times.

A person who lives tens of thousands of people, this reputation spreads, and it will only make people admire and respect, and will not think that there is anything bad about becoming the young master of the Plains Palace.

Time passed quickly, and just when the public was talking about it, it came on the second of February.

Early in the morning, the plain palace beat gongs and drums, invited many people, and set up a full guard of honor.

This is just the three animal wine ceremony, dozens of people carrying the sacrifices, blowing and blowing all the way to the Liu Temple.

Liu's temple was built at the foot of a west mountain outside the county, and it enshrined Liu's ancestors.

The construction time of this temple is not too long, and it was only during the reign of the first emperor that he sent people back to build it. Usually, the Plains Royal Mansion sends people to take care of it, and it has been arranged for someone to take care of it until now.

There is no queen in the Plains Palace, and now Ma Guiren has accepted his son, which is really a big event, and it is a major event related to the continuation of the incense in the Plains Palace.

Therefore, we must first sacrifice heaven and earth to the ancestral temple.

In the past, when the king of the plains was still alive, every time the spring came, the plains would be presided over by the plain palace, and a three-county sacrifice to the heaven and earth and the river god and other sacrificial activities were held, these activities were mainly to pray to the heavens and hope that the wind and rain would be smooth.

Every year, when such an event is held, it is a major event in the three counties, and many people will participate in worshiping the river god and so on.

But since the death of the King of the Plains, such a ritual has not been held for more than ten years.

Without the presiding over the Plains Palace, the three county governments did not dare to host it, so there has been no such activity for more than ten years.

This time, such a formal and large-scale ritual activity, although it was not an activity to worship the river god, but only an activity to worship the Liu family's temple, it still attracted many people from nearby counties to come to watch the ceremony.

Since leaving the plain palace, this has been watched and followed by the people of this county, and after leaving the county seat, there are more people who have come from other places.

In fact, these people, they don't really mean to see the excitement. More often than not, I want to come and pray.

The people of this ancient era said that they were superstitious or feudal. But in the hearts of ordinary people, they have a certain reverence for the gods.

Many people have such a mind, or rather mentality.

They thought that they had not worshiped the river god for more than ten years, so that they would be plagued and plunged into a riot of thieves.

Now that the Plains Mansion finally has a male host, then the annual sacrifice to the river god in the three counties will definitely be carried out again.

They believe that as long as they worship the river god and let the river god bless them, then natural and man-made disasters will not come, and their lives will be better in the future.

In this way, they actually came with a praying mentality.

Liu's Zong Temple, which was built by the first emperor, came to pray to the first emperor's spiritual seat, and this seems to be fine.

After this arrived at the Liu Clan's Temple, it seemed to be already crowded.

Of course, except for the people of the Plains Palace, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the Liu Clan's Temple, and they can go in to worship when there is no one in them, but today it is definitely not possible, and the people can only kneel and worship from a distance outside.

In fact, it can also be seen from these spontaneous actions of the people that they actually recognize this big man and the Liu royal family from the bottom of their hearts.

Ma Guiren took Liu Xian and entered the temple together.

The temple hall is very exquisite, there is a statue, the statue is the statue of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the statue of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu and Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Then, it is the spiritual tablet of the Han emperors of the past dynasties.

These, the general Liu clan temple will be like this.

Besides, it is the spirit tablet of some clansmen of this royal family.

A few days ago, someone had already come here to sort it out. Ma Guiren made people add some spiritual tablets from it without a trace, including Liu Xian's biological father Liu Kui and Liang's spiritual tablets.

The position of these two spirit tablets is not very conspicuous, and after the sacrifice is completed, they will also be secretly withdrawn.

At this time, Liu Kui's spirit tablet could not be placed in the Liu Clan's temple.

Now that Ma Guiren is like this, he is seeking a kind of psychological comfort, which can be regarded as allowing Liu Xian to officially recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
