Liu Bei waited for Tian Feng and their progress on the one hand, and waited for Lu Zhi and their days off for a long time, and the days passed quickly, and three days passed in a flash.

On this day, Liu Bei dressed up a little, wearing a new dress, and then went out with the prepared high-grade tribute paper, because he didn't know how many friends Lu Zhi would have at the party, so Liu Bei brought a lot of high-quality tribute paper, so that he was afraid that there would not be enough points at that time, and at the same time, these tribute papers were packaged in exquisite packaging. Also this time, Liu Bei still took Zhou Cang out together. After a while, he arrived at Lu Zhi's house, and after a while, Lu Zhi walked out and led Liu Bei to set off again.

Liu Bei rode a horse and followed behind Lu Zhi's carriage, walked about the time to touch the tea, and then came to the door of a house. Liu Bei got off the horse and looked at it, there were two big characters on the door plaque 'Cai Mansion', Liu Bei thought about it, and estimated that this should be the mansion of Cai Yong, the great Confucian of the current dynasty, and it is estimated that the place of today's party should be Cai Yong's home.

There was an old man in a Confucian shirt who was less than fifty years old waiting at the gate of Caifu, and when he saw Lu Zhi, Liu Bei and others, he hurriedly greeted him, and led Lu Zhi and Liu Bei inside. Because it was a gathering of literati, Liu Bei personally took the gift and walked in after Lu Zhi, and Liu Zhoucang was waiting outside the door.

"Zigan, please take care of yourself, I have to go to greet the guests again, Uncle Weng and they have already arrived, you go and sit first, I will come over later!" After the old man Liu Bei and the others introduced the courtyard, they confessed.

"Brother Bo, go and get busy on your own, it's not the first time I've come, I can save myself. I'll take my apprentice to meet Uncle Weng and them first. Lu Zhi nodded slightly and said with a smile.

At this time, Liu Bei suddenly realized that this seemingly inconspicuous old man in a Confucian shirt was actually the famous Cai Yong. And there is not a single subordinate in the entire Cai Mansion. Lu Zhi knew a lot about this courtyard, and Liu Bei followed Lu Zhi around and around to a hall, and there were already many people sitting and chatting in the hall!

Lu Zhi led Liu Bei into the banquet hall, and the people who had arrived before all stood up to salute, and Lu Zhi also introduced Liu Bei to everyone one by one, so far, Liu Bei knew the names of some people at today's party, and found that the banquet with Cai Yong was all celebrities, and Liu Bei also met the celebrities who were familiar to later generations for the first time: Ma Riyan, Yang Biao, Yang Ci, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Kong Rong, and others! Liu Bei also met with these people one by one, and by the way, everyone presented a tribute paper produced by their own paper mill, because they didn't know the number of people attending today's meeting, so Liu Bei still brought a lot of tribute paper, but each one was not as much as the one given to Lu Zhi.

After waiting for another cup of tea, Cai Yong led an old man about the same age as Cai Yong in, talking about something as he walked! When the two came in, everyone stood up and saluted, Liu Bei also knew the name of the person who came, it turned out to be Tao Qian, as Tao Qian who would give Xuzhou to himself in the future, Liu Bei was still very good!

Under the auspices of Cai Yong, the banquet began, and Liu Bei also found that this banquet did not have any theme, just an ordinary gathering of some loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty to exchange current affairs, and criticize the ugly faces of the eunuchs, and the people present have high and low official positions, and they are all good friends!

"Xuande, what is the so-called matter of entering Beijing this time?" Since few people in this group of people brought their nephews and nephews to the party, and Liu Bei prepared gifts for these so-called scholars who could not refuse, Cai Yong led the topic to Liu Bei after the banquet began!

"Back to the elders, prepare to enter Beijing this time, one is to visit the teacher, and the other is since the expiration of the filial piety period for my father, Bei has traveled with friends to most of the territory of the Han Dynasty, quite a profit, and at the same time Bei is about to reach the crown, and Bei is Zhongshan Jing Wang, always to serve the country for the Han Dynasty loyalty, so I want to come to Kyoto to see the opportunity to make a difference!" Liu Bei stood up and made a gesture to Cai Yong, and said slowly!

"Oh, I see, I know, you are from Zigan, and I also know that you have only studied with Zigan for four or five years, I don't know where Xuande is studying now?" Cai Yong's Shaofu Yang Ci asked!

"There is no problem with Xuande's talent, from the age of three to learn art from me, to the age of eight, all the books in my house Xuande have been studied and have been integrated!" Seeing Yang Ci's question, Lu Zhi hurriedly answered for Liu Bei, because Lu Zhi knew that Liu Bei should not say such things as talent!

Hearing this, everyone was slightly surprised, and Huangpu Song asked again: "Xuande has already learned when he was eight years old, what did he learn later?" ”

"After guarding my father's filial piety, I went to Changshan in Jizhou to learn martial arts, and after studying for five years, I went down the mountain to travel the world." Liu Bei stood up again and replied!

Liu Bei also sent several letters to Lu Zhi in the past two years, asking about some things in Zhushi, and I don't know if Lu Zhi discussed it with Cai Yong and others, the whole banquet more or less revolved around Liu Bei Some topics, Liu Bei also answered in an orderly manner, and all the people present also praised Liu Bei. The whole banquet was carried out in the face of the criticism of the eunuchs and the communication of the current affairs of the Han Dynasty after everyone asked Liu Bei's answer!

At the same time, in the central palace of the heart of the Han Dynasty - Yongle Palace, a white-faced eunuch in Tsing Yi is waiting for a middle-aged emperor in a dragon robe, this eunuch is the first eunuch Zhang Rang, and this emperor is the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, the ruler of the Han Dynasty.

"Saint, this Liu Bei is the queen of Zhongshan Jingwang, and he is a relative of the Han family, so he should be your contemporary! This time, he asked people to come to the West Garden, find a minion, and wanted to exempt him from the official position of a stabbing priest. Zhang Rang introduced Liu Bei in front of Liu Hong.

"Oh, it's actually a clan relative, but I don't care if he is a clan relative or not, if you want to be an official, you have to give me money! This Liu Bei wants to donate money to make this assassin history, Jiaozhou Assassin History is a big official with 600 stones per person, and it is not okay if the money is less! As soon as Liu Hong heard that someone was buying an official, his eyes wanted to see the treasure shining with golden light.

"Back to the saint, Liu Bei donated a lot, enough to donate the money of a 2,000 stone official, and asked me to convey a sentence to the saint that he has a special businessman under him, and the energy is constantly making money, if the saint needs money, he can give the saint some regularly! He asked for the state to defend a territory for the Holy Lord, and at the same time let his subordinates develop business and earn more money to subsidize the Holy Lord's expenses! Zhang Rang conveyed the words of Tian Feng's subordinates, this time Liu Bei bought the official, and used 40 million money, Zhang let them divide the eunuchs with 20 million, and the remaining 20 million was handed over to Emperor Han Ling.

"Well, Liu Bei is good, since he is so sensible, then we will arrange a better position for him, Jiaozhou is a wild place, except for some special products, there is no oil and water, and the position of assassin has no rights, how can this Liu Bei earn money for me in the future? Let's find him a position that can earn money and have real power, and then let him pay me 20 million yuan every year! What good advice does the Father have? Liu Hong thought about it slightly, and felt that the energy was constantly getting money, and he was suddenly interested, so he thought about choosing a good place for Liu Bei!

"What the Holy One said is reasonable, if you find a good place, let someone think about it! …… Shengshang, if you look at the Western Regions, just talk about the position of the long history of the Western Regions to this Liu Bei, and the position of the protector of the Western Regions Long History Mansion will be appointed by Liu Bei, so that he can control the entire military and political affairs of the Western Regions, the Western Regions is a good place, and the entire trade between the East and the West must pass through the Western Regions, plus Liu Bei has merchants under him. Maybe you can ask him for more money every year, Your Majesty, what do you think? Zhang Rang proposed.

As soon as he heard Zhang Rang's suggestion, Liu Hong immediately felt that it was very reasonable, and at this time, the Han was calm, "This is very good, just handle it like this, and wait for the next time the court will announce it, Father, how much money do you say I will ask Liu Bei and Liu Bei every year in the future?" ”

"Holy Lord, the slave understands, and I will draw up the decree and give it to you later. As for how much money you will have to ask Liu Bei every year in the future, the slave thinks that you might as well summon Liu Bei separately after announcing Liu Bei's official position, and ask him to report a number to the Holy Lord, so that this line can show the importance you attach to him by the Holy Lord! Zhang Rang patted his ass properly. At this point, Liu Bei's plan to assassinate the history of Jiaozhou has all come to naught, but it has completely changed to a place that the strategists did not consider before!
