Originally, this marriage is a major event in life, it is a very important thing, and it should be done well, but Cai Yong is still guilty now, so it is not easy to deal with it in a big way, Liu Bei promised to stay in the plains, and when he arrived at Liu Bei's territory, he naturally had to do it well, so it was better to keep a low profile in Luoyang, so as not to cause any trouble. However, on the tenth day, someone came to pass on the emperor's oral message, and ordered Liu Bei to meet in the West Garden.

According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, before taking office, the local officials had to go to the court to meet the emperor and give them a face-to-face lecture, of course, this rule has not been seriously implemented for 180 years, just because those child emperors in the Han Dynasty, even the baby emperors, could not give the ministers a face-to-face teaching, and cry in front of the ministers.

At this time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty picked up this rule and regulations again, this is not because he is diligent in government, but because it is convenient to collect money. Before taking office, all officials must go to the West Garden to negotiate the price before taking office.

As for Liu Bei's official becoming a member of the Han family, it is actually not important in the eyes of outsiders, at most it is believed that Liu Bei wants to restore the glory of his ancestors, which is commendable filial piety. Although most of the clans of the Western Han Dynasty were not recognized by the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is like this, there are 18,000 Han clansmen in the world, not more than Liu Bei, and no less than him.

At this time, Lu Zhi had already appealed to the emperor that Liu Bei had not been recognized by the genealogy, and that Liu Bei could be included in the genealogy if he had great merit. Liu Bei sent Jian Yong to give a generous gift to the eunuch faction, knowing that he was still somewhat sure of re-entering the genealogy of the Han family, as for the plain phase, he could pay in installments, and Liu Bei had already been mentally prepared to repay the debt.

At this time, no one could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, the Han family would fall apart, and at that time, the name of his Han clan would be very different. When the time comes, as long as you make some achievements and spread a little rumor, you can immediately be regarded as the second Emperor Guangwu, and it is also a logical thing to have a Sanxing Han room.

Even Liu Bei even thought of a proverb similar to Liu Xiu as the Son of Heaven, so he asked the big ear to sit on Jinluan, and the long arm to be the Son of Heaven. Then for Emperor Guangwu, Sanxing Han rivers and mountains. It is basically arranged according to Liu Bei's body characteristics.

Liu Bei gave a reward to his father-in-law, hurriedly changed into the official uniform of the county order, and rode away, while Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei each rode with him. Of course, they can't get into the West Garden.

The West Garden was redecorated by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty once, and I don't know where to invite the decoration master, it is said that it cost twenty small goals, in Liu Bei's opinion, this garden is really good, the winding paths are hidden, the pavilions are scattered, but now it is almost winter, and the whole garden looks a little dilapidated, just like this old empire.

When Liu Bei arrived at the gate of the West Garden, Zhang Fei and the others couldn't go any further. Liu Bei dismounted, entered the West Garden with the palace people, and waited at the entrance of the West Garden for a while, and saw an official come out of it, if it was a person from the Eastern Han Dynasty who looked at the official uniform, he would know what the official was, but Liu Bei did not have this ability, so he had to look at the person's belt and seal.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the easiest way to distinguish the status of an official was to look at the color of the ribbon he was wearing. The ribbon is the belt, with different colors to distinguish the grade, and the official seal is issued by the imperial court, commonly known as the "seal ribbon", and the official must be returned to the court after dismissal or death. Officials usually put the official seal in the leather bag on the waist, and the ribbon hangs in front of the abdomen, and sometimes the ribbon is also put in the bag. At that time, the color of the ribbon became the most distinctive symbol of social status and official position.

It's just a soul crossing like Liu Bei, if you directly cross the body like Xiang Shaolong, in the Qin Dynasty, it is not much worse, not to mention that it is difficult to move an inch, and even when Shang Ying escaped, he was not stopped by his own laws, not to mention others, of course, the protagonist is not counted, that is the exception.

The person who came came with a black belt and a copper seal, indicating that this person was an official with a thousand to six hundred stones, and when this person saw Liu Bei, he asked, "Is it Liu County's order?" ”

"It's Liu Bei below, come with an edict," Liu Bei replied, this person is just an official of six hundred stones, and his official position is actually lower than Liu Bei's county order of one thousand stones, but as the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister, not to mention in front of the emperor, Liu Bei naturally does not dare to hold it up.

"Come with me, the emperor is waiting for you." Liu Bei naturally followed him and began to look at the West Garden, a building that can be called a historical relic.

This person took Liu Bei into the West Garden, and saw that Liu Bei looked around as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, and the little official who led the way had seen more of this kind of person, and he had long been surprised, but he secretly scolded in his heart that the soil buns from the countryside were so ignorant, showing off his superiority as a person under the imperial city, and still leading the way in front without mentioning it.

I saw a large swimming pool in the distance, yellow-green moss covered the top of the steps, the canal water around the thresholds, the lotus flowers planted in the canal water have withered yellow at the moment, but I can still see that this lotus lotus is as big as a cover, more than one zhang high, not ordinary. It is said that this kind of lotus, lotus leaves night Shu day roll, one stem has four lotus clusters, called "night Shu lotus". And because this lotus leaves only unfold after the moon comes out, it is also called "Wangshuhe"

Liu Bei saw it, and said in his heart that this is the famous naked tour hall. It is said that in the middle of summer, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty would come here to escape the heat, and he chose a singer with jade skin and a light body to row a boat and sway in the canal water. In the scorching heat of midsummer, he ordered the boat to sink in the water, watch the naked palace ladies fall into the water, and then play the song "Seven Words of Merchant" to attract coolness.

The palace maids, who were over fourteen years old and under eighteen years old, wore heavy makeup, took off their clothes and bathed naked with him. The Western Regions offered Yinqi incense, and Emperor Ling ordered people to boil it into soup for the palace maid to bathe, and poured the water with fat powder after bathing into the canal, which was called "Liuxiang Canal".

After this swimming pool, it is the famous Xiyuan Palace City. Emperor Ling imitated the streets, markets, all kinds of shops, and street vendors, and let the palace maids and concubines pretend to be all kinds of merchants to sell, and some of them pretend to be guests who buy things, and there are also people who pretend to be singing and playing monkeys.

At this moment, Emperor Ling of Han was playing his business imitation show, and saw him sitting in a donkey cart pulled by four donkeys, wearing the clothes of a merchant, pretending to be a merchant selling goods, walking around in this man-made bazaar, someone had already played in the ear of Emperor Ling: Someone came to buy goods, just this sentence, the money is 50,000, it has been paid, and the average word is 10,000 yuan.

When Emperor Ling heard this, he got out of the car in a hotel, invited beautiful women to drink with him, and let people spread the word that Liu Bei had come to see him, and the person who came out to deliver the decree was a eunuch. When this person saw Liu Bei, he first had a little bit of cordiality. It turns out that Liu Bei's appearance is quite peculiar, in addition to his big ears and long arms, he also has a characteristic that he does not grow a beard. Liu Bei in history, because others ridiculed him for not growing a beard, and even killed people for this. So Liu Bei in those movies and TV series. As long as you wear makeup and have a beard, it is disrespectful to history.

Flipping the gold that Liu Bei had just given in his hand, the eunuch's one or two points of kindness turned into seven or eight points, so he said: "The emperor called you, I'm afraid to ask about some genealogy, you have to have a charter." In addition, when you first see the emperor, be careful in everything, and be careful about the monarch's deceitfulness, but don't be too nervous, the emperor has always been in business in this West Garden. ”

Liu Bei nodded and thanked him, and followed the eunuch into Xiyuan Palace City, these days, naturally someone came to teach Liu Bei court etiquette, such as when looking at the emperor, you can't look directly at the emperor's face, at most you can see the chin. When walking, you can't be fast, you can't be slow, you have to take small steps step by step, this is called tendency. When talking to the emperor, you must first report the name of your position, and as for weapons, you can't bring them.

If someone can break these rules, it is the so-called praise and worship without a name, entering the court without trending, and going to the temple with a sword. Basically, except for Xiao He, in history, anyone who has mixed up to this step is able to abolish the emperor, and he will wait for the king, add nine gifts and then resign three times, and finally usurp the throne of the emperor's reserve of the Son of Heaven at that level.

Since Liu Bei is not such a bull, then when he saw Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei naturally bowed and said loudly: "The minister Gaotang County ordered Liu Bei to meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Then he scolded in his heart, Lao Tzu is worshipping the dead, in fact, this mentality is not much different from Ah Q. As for the beauties around the emperor, they naturally didn't dare to see more.

"Let's be flat." A lazy voice came, Liu Bei got up, and taking the opportunity to stand up, Liu Bei secretly glanced at Emperor Han Ling, only to see that he was wearing a merchant's clothes. His face didn't seem to be very good, but Emperor Han Ling was stupid, after all, he was not Emperor Han Xian, and Liu Bei didn't dare to ignore the power in his hands. He bowed down and took a step back, making a gesture of loyalty and respect. There were many palace maids and eunuchs pretending to be small merchants and hawkers around to see the excitement, Liu Bei naturally didn't dare to say more, Emperor Han Ling seemed to have long been used to all this, and it was no wonder.

Emperor Han Ling sat there hugging left and right, drinking happily, and after a long time, he asked: "You are a member of the Han family, do you have a clan genealogy?" "Someone has already sent Liu Bei's genealogy, and Emperor Han Ling naturally won't go to see it in person, and there are already eunuchs there who read it out loud.

Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, is the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty is actually not very good at teaching his son, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will not say much, look at his other sons, what Lu Gong Pavilion, Jiang Duqing, Zhao Jingxian, Zhongshan Lewd, Changsha Lonely, Guangchuan Silent, Jiaodong is not bright, Changshan is arrogant. The four kingdoms are extinct, the river is virtuous, and the ritual music is repaired, which is the Han Zongying. Except for Liu De, the king of Hejian, there was no good person, and as a result, the king of Hejian was directly said by Liu Yeboar, "In the past, King Wen was 100 miles, Tang was 70 miles, and Wang Qi was reluctant." "I'm dying.

The historical evaluation of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, is one word: "obscenity". His famous quote is: "The king listens to music on that day, and he is in good spirits." "There are more than 120 sons with names and surnames alone, and there are countless illegitimate children, among which there is a son named Liu Zhen, who later sealed the Lucheng Pavilion Marquis, and came to the Lucheng Marquis from the Zhongshan Kingdom, and the descendants formed the branch of the Zhongshan Liu family - Zhuoxian Liu.

The situation of the Liu family in Liu Zhenzhuo County is not recorded in the official history, but no one doubted Liu Bei's origin at that time, because there were too many situations like Liu Bei, and only later that Liu Bei became the emperor of Shu Han in the world, and no one began to seriously examine whether Liu Bei was a relative of the Han family, as for now, a clan is really not a big deal.

"Emperor Xiaojing gave birth to fourteen sons. The seventh son was Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan. Shengsheng Lucheng Pavilion Marquis Liu Zhen. Zhensheng Peihou Liu Ang. Liu Lu, Marquis of Ang Shengzhang. Lusheng Yishui Hou Liu Lian. Lovers of Qinyang Hou Liu Ying. Yingsheng An Guohou Liu Jian. Jiansheng Guangling Marquis Liu Ai. Mourning glue Hou Liu Xian. Xiansheng ancestor Liu Shu. Shu Sheng, Qiyang, Hou Liu Yi. Yisheng Yuan Zehou Liu Bi. Must be born Yingchuan Hou Liu Da. Dasheng Feng Linghou Liu is not suspicious. There is no doubt that the Marquis of Jichuan was born*. Wison Dongjun Fan Ling Liu Xiong. Xiongsheng Liu Hong. Hongbushi. Liu Bei is the son of Liu Hong. ”

Emperor Ling of Han heard this and said, "In this way, there is no doubt that Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family. ”

The eunuch received Liu Bei's money, so he naturally had to do something, and it was not a big deal to talk about a clan, so he said with a smile: "At the beginning, the ancestor established the law, and all those who have meritorious service can enter the genealogy, it is to encourage the world's clans to make meritorious contributions to the country. ”

About Emperor Han Ling drank a lot of wine, and it was easier to speak, so he opened the golden mouth and said: "Good, since this is the case, let him enter the genealogy jade plate." ”

The eunuch had already accepted the bribe, and immediately agreed to it, and had already asked someone to put the pedigree on the table. The people around him confiscated the money, and they all understood in their hearts, Emperor Han Ling saw that he had set up a bookcase, and he didn't say much, but picked up his pen and wrote a word. This is the end of the procedure, the Han family is a family affair of the old Liu family, and there is no need to go through the court at all.

In the future, Liu Bei's clan will be worthy of its name.

Got the matter of entering the genealogy jade disk. Liu Bei thanked Emperor Ling of Han. Emperor Han Ling waved his hand and said, "If you talk about the genealogy, you can be regarded as my peer brother, so you don't need to be polite." ”

It was probably because he drank too much wine, and Emperor Han Ling sighed and said: "If it is like this for 10,000 years, it will be an immortal in the sky." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei had a very bad impression of Emperor Han Ling, and at this moment, he couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Please stop, all this is really beautiful." ”
