Early in the morning, Mi Heng came to see Cao Shuo.

When he told the story of going to see Liu Bei the night before, Cao Shuo's mouth was about to close: "There are still many ways to be peaceful, so even if Liu Xuande doesn't want to betray Xu Du, he has no other choice." ”

"I'm just going to get him cornered." Mi Heng said: "If you want to kill Liu Xuande, you have to find the right time. ”

"Liu Xuande is slippery like a loach." Cao Shuo said: "It's not easy to kill him justifiably. ”

While the two were talking, Cai Ji walked over.

When he arrived, Cai Ji said: "Son-in-law, Huowu reported that Liu Xuande went to Dong Cheng's house last night and didn't go back until late at night. ”

Looking at Mi Heng, Cao Shuo asked, "How?" Liu Xuande can't hold it back! ”

"Childe thinks he went to see Dong Cheng because he had some intention?" Mi Heng asked.

"It's not that he went to see Dong Cheng, but that Dong Cheng is wooing him." Cao Shuo said: "If my expectations are right, after a while, Liu Xuande and Dong Cheng will definitely enter the palace to see Your Majesty." ”

"Could it be that Your Majesty will also ......" Mi Heng was stunned.

"Of course not!" Cao Shuo said: "Your Majesty is a smart man, and he should know better than anyone who he owes to the stability he can live now." Dong Cheng and Liu Xuande went to see him, just to ask for some useful benefits from him. As for what it is, I don't know......"

Before Cao Shuo finished speaking, Wei Tu also walked over: "Prince Qiyu, Huo Wu has come to report again, Dong Cheng and Liu Bei have gone to the palace." ”

"What did I just say?" Cao Shuo smiled and said to Mi Heng: "They really can't be stable!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Mi Heng asked.

"Do nothing, let them make trouble." Looking up at the sky, Cao Shuo said: "There are dark clouds in the air, and the weather is not very cold, it looks like it is about to snow." ”

Cao Shuo suddenly shifted the topic to the weather, and Mi Heng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Childe really doesn't plan to do anything?" ”

"They haven't moved yet, what can I do?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Let them make trouble, and when they make enough trouble and the situation is revealed, I will do it." ”

"It's still childe who is thoughtful." Balance answers.

I didn't know that Cao Shuo had already received the news that Dong Cheng and Liu Bei had come to the palace at this time.

In Liu Xie's room, Dong Cheng stood with a bow.

"General Dong came to see me early in the morning, is it just for Liu Bei?" Liu Xie asked Dong Cheng.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei is a talent." Dong Cheng said: "I once talked to him, and after he claimed to be the King of Zhongshan Jing, he was still the same clan as His Majesty. ”

Liu Xie smiled noncommittally and said to Dong Cheng: "There are many descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan, many of them are impossible to verify, he just said that his surname is Liu and he is the King of King Jing of Zhongshan, why should I believe it?" ”

"Your Majesty." Dong Cheng said: "In fact, it doesn't matter whether Liu Xuande is the queen of Zhongshan Jingwang, the important thing is to recognize his identity, which is beneficial to Your Majesty!" ”

"If he is pretending to be a royal prince, what good will it do me?" Liu Xie shook his head and said, "What General Dong said is bad. ”

"Your Majesty, imagine what Liu Xuande has done in recent years?" Dong Cheng said: "He was originally a weaver and a trader, but in recent years, he has repeatedly attached himself to the powerful, and has successively made Pingyuan Ling, Xuzhou Mu, and Yuzhou Mu. If he didn't have some ability, he could be where he is today? ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Xie's brows furrowed slightly: "General Dong means ......"

"Again, Liu Xuande is capable." Dong Cheng said: "Don't look at him now, sooner or later, he will soar one day." If Liu Xuande has a heavy army, and His Majesty does not rely on the same sect, will it be possible to rely on others? ”

Dong Cheng's words were reasonable, Liu Xie frowned, hesitated for a while and did not say anything.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Dong said on the side: "General Dong is right, he can't write two Liu characters in one stroke, no matter whether Liu Xuande is really an imperial prince or not, he is still surnamed Liu after all." ”

"Concubine Ai also means to let me recognize him?" Liu Xie asked.

"The concubine is just a woman, and she doesn't understand the world's major affairs." Concubine Dong said: "It's just a little thought, and I suddenly understand this truth." ”

"Did Liu Xuande come?" Liu Xie asked Dong Cheng.

Dong Chengying said: "He's waiting outside!" ”

"Let him in!" Liu Xie commanded.

Dong Cheng withdrew from the room and brought Liu Bei a moment later.

Seeing Liu Bei, Liu Xie said, "Aiqing, please take a seat!" ”

Liu Bei saluted and confessed, and then sat down.

Liu Xie asked: "I heard General Dong say that Aiqing is also a descendant of the Han family?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty." Liu Bei said: "I carry my family tree with me. ”

"Can you show me?" Liu Xie asked.

Liu Bei took out the family tree from his arms, held it in both hands, and handed it to Liu Xie respectfully.

After taking the genealogy and reading it, Liu Xie felt a burst of amusement in his heart.

Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, was the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, several of whom were passed down from brother to brother, but the genealogy that Liu Bei took out was according to the sequence of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and sent out generations.

Just by looking at it, Liu Xie knew that this genealogy was used by Liu Bei to fool the world.

Dong Cheng said before that Liu Bei was a usable talent, and Liu Xie did not expose it, and said to Liu Bei with a slight smile: "In this way, Xuande Gong is a generation older than me!" ”

Approved by Liu Xie, Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Don't dare!" ”

"The seniority is there, there is nothing to dare or dare to." Liu Xie said: "From now on, I will call Xuande Gong as the emperor's uncle, what's the matter?" ”

"The minister is terrified!" Liu Bei bowed again.

Liu Xie said: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to be polite, it's all his own family, if you need anything in the future, just tell me." If I can do it, I will definitely do my best to promote it for Uncle Huang. ”

Liu Bei wanted to ask about the edict, but Dong Cheng gave him a look.

Seeing Dong Cheng's eyes, Liu Bei knew that some words should not be asked in front of Liu Xie.

He said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty treats the ministers well, and the ministers will definitely be broken to pieces and share the worries of Your Majesty!" ”

Holding Liu Bei's hands, Liu Xie said: "With Uncle Huang's words, I will rest assured!" ”

Accompanied Liu Xie to talk again, Liu Bei and Dong Cheng got up and retired.

Concubine Dong Guifei sent Dong Cheng out of the door, watching them leave, but the corners of Liu Xie's mouth hooked up a shallow smile.

"Your Majesty!" Empress Fu walked out of the inner room and asked Liu Xie, "Is there something wrong with Liu Bei's family tree?" ”

Liu Xie shook his head and smiled: "The genealogy is ridiculous, you can tell it to be fake at a glance." ”

"Since it's fake, why does Your Majesty recognize him?" Empress Fu asked in surprise.

"Dong Cheng is right, I need someone who can use it." Liu Xie said: "Although Liu Bei is a fake emperor, he is still surnamed Liu after all. I recognized him, and for the sake of the name of Uncle Huang, there was no reason why he should not help me. ”

"Your Majesty still sees the long term." Empress Fu said: "If you were someone else, you may have exposed Liu Bei." ”
