The emperor's attitude towards Liu Xian made the courtiers in the court feel a little surprised, basically they all felt that the emperor was too gracious to Liu Xian.

They really didn't know what virtues Liu Xian had, how he could become the emperor's royal brother, and how he could get the right to enter and leave the palace at any time.

Among them, some of them vaguely know the emperor's thoughts, but they somewhat understand that this should not be the emperor's favor to Liu Xian, and there may be some unknown secrets in it.

After all, the political vision and wisdom of some courtiers are still quite powerful, and they have always known that the bloodline of the first emperor is a taboo for the current emperor, and they know that the emperor will never allow anyone to threaten his throne.

The current emperor said this, so that Liu Xian was really difficult to refuse, and he couldn't get rid of the title of this royal brother at all.

At this time, when others were not paying attention, the emperor glanced at Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, and then they all smiled tacitly.

They all thought that their treacherous plan had succeeded.

From now on, Liu Xian continued to trouble in the name of this so-called royal brother, and gave Liu Xian another reward to show grace, and even let the queen leave the palace and personally go to Liu Xian's Wuyong Marquis Mansion to congratulate, which all showed the emperor's holy favor to Liu Xian.

The emperor also believed at this time, believing that whether it was the civil and military officials of the court or the common people of the Han Dynasty, they all believed in their care and grace for Liu Xian. Then, he can attack Liu Xian, and when the time comes, after killing Liu Xian, as long as people don't catch the handle that he sent someone to attack, then who will suspect that it is he, the emperor, who wants to put Liu Xian to death? Who would doubt themselves? When the time comes, no one will blame Liu Xian for his death.

Thinking that from now on, Liu Xian's hidden danger could be completely solved, and the emperor really wanted to sing a song to express his wit.

This idea of characterizing Liu Xian as the younger brother of Wang was a temporary idea of him, and he did not discuss it with Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong before.

As for giving Liu Xian his portable jade pendant as a token that Liu Xian could enter the palace at any time, this is simply a stroke of genius. You know, with so many subjects of the Han Dynasty, who can obtain such a holy favor? Who can enter and leave the palace at will? He treats Liu Xian like this, so who dares to say that he treats Liu Xian and Ma Guiren badly?

Of course, those who know the inside story will understand that it is actually superfluous for the emperor to do this, because even if he invites Liu Xian into the palace, Liu Xian will not enter easily, and he usually does not dare to enter and leave the palace casually. Who knows if there are hundreds of knife and axe players waiting for Liu Xian inside after entering the palace?

If he could, Liu Xian really didn't want such a false name. But Liu Xian really understood, and he also had a deep sense of crisis because of this, because Liu Xian knew that from this moment on, the emperor would no longer have any worries about sending someone to deal with him secretly. Because even if he died, no one would suspect that the emperor sent someone to do it, and there would be no bad influence on the emperor again.

But......

As the so-called blessing is not a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, a blessing and a misfortune lurk, and a misfortune and a blessing are relied on. If you put it another way, Liu Xian became the emperor's younger brother, which is actually not a bad thing.

To be honest, if the status of this royal brother can really be implemented, and he can really be given the title of prince, then Liu Xian will have a lot of room to operate. But it's a pity that this emperor is too ghostly, he just said it verbally, but he didn't say anything substantive, and still said that it was the Marquis of Wuyong's mansion one by one, which also made Liu Xian's identity and status not change in substance.

Of course, in the Han Dynasty, it is really not easy to be crowned king, basically not those who have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, it is unlikely to be crowned king, and as for people with different surnames who are not surnamed Liu, it is even more unlikely to be crowned king.

But for Liu Xian, none of that mattered. You must know that Liu Xian did not intend to accept any reward from the imperial court, if he hadn't passively accepted the identity of Marquis Wu Yong, and was summoned to the capital, Liu Xian would have developed in Yangshi County and Liulin Village for a few years, and it would have been the same to directly disclose his true identity at that time. In addition, it will be more justified when it comes to waiting.

When he owned several northern states and held a large army, Liu Xian believed that when he regained his true identity, he would definitely be able to attract the support and support of many Han people.

At that time, Liu Xian will be able to embark on the road of high-speed development, and he will be able to end the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms for hundreds of years in history earlier, unify the Han Dynasty, and enter the stage of great governance and prosperity.

Right now...... It's okay, Brother Wang is Brother Wang, since the emperor can secretly attack himself at any time after making such a statement, then he doesn't have to worry too much, just do it in this Luoyang capital.

In the past few years before the death of the emperor, Liu Xian felt that he could work hard, whether he could directly do something through the capital of the Han Dynasty and through this political, economic, and cultural center to change the future historical trend.

Since he has implemented himself from the emperor's mouth, the so-called royal brother who is just a mouthful of the emperor's learning, and has no substantial benefits, then Liu Xian naturally has to take advantage of it.

After thinking about this, Liu Xian stood up, bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, since the emperor insists on this, then Liu Xian has the shame to bear the title of this royal brother, and the imperial brother is above!" Please be worshiped by the king! ”

Don't you want to show your imperial kindness? Doesn't it keep saying that it is a family? Okay, then we're honest, you're welcome, and let's beat the snake with the stick. If you want to act, then let's act. As long as you don't openly tear your face, everyone wants to fight hypocrisy, then it depends on who is more hypocritical.

Having said that, the emperor and those eunuchs are afraid that they also underestimated Liu Xian's courage and the thickness of Liu Xian's skin.

Liu Xian's response was indeed a bit unexpected to the emperor, he was stunned for a moment, and thought, how can you be like this? I call you Brother Wang, this is just a polite show of grace, just like chatting and joking, it can't be taken seriously, you are still serious? Do you really want to be my royal brother? Bah! Go to hell.

However, in the face of Liu Xian's behavior, the emperor can't make it clear again, we are just polite to you, we can't take it seriously, right?

"Bold! The emperor called you the king's brother, but that was just a show of kindness to you, and you really became the emperor's brother? Is that your name, Brother Huang? Don't kneel down and plead guilty! ”

"What presumptuous! The emperor is the true son of the dragon, how can you, a person who doesn't know the so-called, be able to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix? “

"Hillbilly! Calling you the royal brother is the emperor's favor to you, but you can't really think that you are the royal brother, right? For example, let's politely call you a little brother, this is to show respect for you, but you can't immediately think that we are your brother, right? ”

Some courtiers in the court who had long seen Liu Xian unpleasantly jumped out to reprimand Liu Xian at this time. This also relieved the emperor's embarrassment a little.

"Hehe, Marquis Wu Yong, Ma Guiren, okay, I summoned you into the palace just to meet with Marquis Wu Yong, and then give Marquis Wu Yong a plaque written by me, and then let the queen congratulate you on my behalf. As for the rest, let's talk about it again, anyway, you can enter the palace at any time to see me, well, I also welcome Marquis Wu Yong to enter the palace to see me at any time. Ma Guiren too, I welcome you into the palace at any time. “

At this time, the emperor no longer spoke of Brother Wang, he pressed his hand, quieted those who jumped out to reprimand Liu Xian, and then said to Liu Xian and Ma Guiren with a kind face.

Liu Xian despised in his heart, girl, when we are about to bear the identity of this royal brother, why did you shrink so much?

Okay, you shrink and let's go in.

Liu Xian felt how the emperor let him leave, and hurriedly said before the emperor could say anything: "Brother Huang, since the emperor insists on recognizing our brother Wang, then we can only bear it." But Brother Huang, there is really some chaos in this capital. As soon as Brother Wang arrived in Luoyang, he was at the city gate, and he was threatened by some rogue ruffians, and ah, the process of purchasing the Marquis of Wuyong's Mansion was not easy, and there were still people who wanted to forcibly occupy the mansion that Brother Wang fancied. Therefore, Brother Wang felt very uneasy and felt insecure. If the royal brother allows, we want to take the righteous lady Ma Guiren back to the Jizhou Plain Palace. Of course, if the royal brother is reluctant to give up the royal brother, then the royal brother plans to recruit family guards for the plain palace in the capital, as well as the royal brother's Wuyong Marquis Mansion. ”

Liu Xian said this, and immediately continued: "Brother Huang, according to the routine of our Han Dynasty, how many guards should Ma Guiren have?" Also, how many guards can my royal brother have? These guards should be paid by the imperial court, right? Brother Wang didn't know much about this, Brother Wang just wanted to act according to the laws of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Huh? This...... Marquis Wu Yong also said that whether it is Ma Guiren or Marquis Wu Yong's Mansion, they should also have guards? What's this...... Didn't you always have a guard? ”

"No, Brother Huang is talking about those people who usually follow Brother Wang, right? Hehe, they are not, they are just the guards of the caravan, they came to Beijing with the royal brother to see the world, and temporarily live in the plain palace and the prince's mansion. ”

The emperor was speechless for a moment, and he also understood that this Liu Xian was asking for benefits from him.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Zhang Rang stepped out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, ordinary marquis can have a certain personal guard. But like Ma Guiren and Marquis Wu Yong, the marquis who was given the title by the emperor was directly sent by the emperor to some forbidden troops to them as guards. Since Marquis Wu Yong has this request, the emperor can indeed send a forbidden army to them as a guard. The number of people given to Ma Guiren cannot exceed five hundred, and the marquis is generally about one hundred, but the maximum number can reach three hundred. ”

Zhang Rang glanced at the emperor at this time, meaning that he wanted the emperor to directly send the forbidden army to Ma Guiren and Liu Xian's side. In this way, Ma Guiren and Liu Xian can be controlled at any time, and it will be convenient to eradicate Liu Xian.

"Oh? Can you directly send the palace forbidden army to act as a guard for the royal brother? This is great, I heard that the Imperial Army Forbidden Army is the most elite soldier of our Han Dynasty, but I don't know if hunting is powerful? By the way, Brother Huang, Brother Wang likes hunting, I heard that there is a royal hunting ground on the outskirts of the city, right? It just so happens that this time you can rest assured that you can take the most elite forbidden army of the Han to hunt, even if you encounter a fierce beast, you don't have to be afraid. Liu Xian didn't wait for the emperor to say that he would send the forbidden army to him as a guard, and immediately said with a happy look of anticipation.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better for Marquis Wu Yong to recruit guards on his own. This palace is forbidden to the army...... It's better to protect the palace and protect the emperor. Zhao He was a little anxious at this time, and hurriedly jumped out.

Send the forbidden army to Ma Guiren and Liu Xian? This is a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return. Zhao He knows Liu Xian's methods very well, what does this say like to go hunting, maybe this is digging a pit for those forbidden troops.

You must know that there are thousands of Liu Xian's men and horses outside the city, and once they leave the city and arrive at the royal hunting ground on the outskirts of the city, the hundreds of forbidden troops sent to them may be in danger. This is tantamount to the loss of the forbidden army in the army in vain. These eunuchs, it is not easy to cultivate the forbidden army, those are the soldiers they can control with great difficulty, how can they give them to Liu Xian?

What's more, even if Liu Xian didn't say anything about hunting, it wouldn't work, those people sent to the Plains Mansion earlier were easily wiped out by Liu Xian.

The emperor thought about it for a while, and then said: "Marquis Wu Yong should recruit the guards himself, as for the guards of the Yulu, just like the forbidden army, every month...... and it shall be drawn according to the establishment of six hundred. ”

The emperor didn't want to give it, but now he wants to show his favor, and he has to temporarily meet Liu Xian's request. He thinks that it won't be long before Liu Xian can be destroyed, and there will be no need to raise those guards for Liu Xian and Ma Guiren.

"Thank Emperor Longen!" Liu Xianjian implemented this matter, and he was overjoyed and thanked.

But it's not over yet, Liu Xian continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, Brother Wang's ideal is to be a successful businessman. Therefore, Brother Wang plans to buy some shops and other properties. Of course, these are just small things, and they only need the cooperation of the relevant imperial court departments. ”

"Oh? Wu Yonghou still has some Yaxing? Well, okay, I'll give a word to each department, and the department related to it will make it convenient for you. ”

This is the first time that the emperor has agreed to Liu Xian without any crooked thoughts, and even, he glanced at Liu Xian with a little yearning. It was also the first time that when I looked at Liu Xian, I actually felt a little pleasing to the eye.

Businessman, doing business, this is actually his hobby as an emperor. Sometimes, he thinks that the jingle feeling of being a merchant and then counting the money he has gained is much more interesting than being an emperor.

However, this is just an occasional thought on his mind, in fact, it is just a nostalgia for some days when he was a child. If he really wanted to give up the emperor's position to become a businessman, he would not do it.

It's okay, Liu Xian and Ma Guiren withdrew from the court.
