Chapter 440: Coming Home
Liu Xin's sentence is already very clear - Liu Xin doesn't think that Liu Bei will be one of the clan relatives of the Han family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, no matter how you say it, the Han clan is also a very important identity, how can some ordinary people be allowed to casually pretend to join this Han clan clan.
Therefore, Liu Xin originally wanted to tell Liu Bei about this matter directly, but it was too direct, making it as if Liu Xin was here to fight Liu Bei, and what he said might not be very good.
But now it's different, since you Liu Bei took the initiative to ask me about this, Liu Xin naturally chose to tell you the "truth" of Liu Bei's matter...
And now Liu Bei naturally understands the meaning of what Liu Xin said to himself, so at this time, Liu Bei is already eager to give himself a few slaps, after all, Liu Bei has found out how stupid his question is, and now it seems to be a very failure, Liu Bei feels that if he doesn't ask this question, Liu Bei can continue to advocate that he is "after King Jing of Zhongshan" in the future, but not now, after all, Liu Xin has already spoken, which is equivalent to closing the coffin of this matter in disguise- That is, he is not "after the king of Zhongshan Jing", and it is impossible to be a relative of the Han family, if Liu Bei dares to take out the identity of "after the king of Zhongshan Jing" in the future, Liu Bei can be sure that Liu Xin will not sit idly by, and may even alarm the Han clan relatives of Zongzheng Mansion, after all, even if these Han clan relatives of Zongzheng Mansion know what Liu Bei did, but because Liu Bei's identity and status are a little too low and Liu Bei is also a smart person, They all use the tone of interrogative sentences to introduce their identity as "after King Jing of Zhongshan", and do not use the tone of affirmative sentences, so those Han clan relatives in Zongzheng Mansion also regard Liu Bei as a young man who likes to "brag", or think that Liu Bei is really likely to be a "homeless" Han clan relative, but because the Han clan relatives of Zongzheng Mansion are not big idlers, they will take the initiative to verify the true identity of people like Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei is also a disciple of Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi, as one of the well-known Confucians of the contemporary era, even Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty needs to maintain a certain respect for Lu Zhi, and the Han clansmen in the Zongzheng Mansion are basically the best education in the Han Dynasty today, so the Han clansmen in these Zongzheng Mansions respect Lu Zhi very much, so Liu Bei is a disciple of Lu Zhi, It has also received a certain amount of care from the Han clan relatives in these Zongzheng Mansions, as well as policy preferences.
So, unless Liu Bei really insists that his "Queen of Zhongshan Jingwang" is true in Luoyang City, then those Han clan relatives in Zongzheng Mansion will come forward to deal with Liu Bei, and then either Liu Bei can hand over certain evidence to prove that he is "Queen Jing of Zhongshan", so as to officially join the ranks of the Han family, or Liu Bei will have to suffer a lot of flesh and skin, and then he will be labeled as a "liar", and Liu Bei's life will be over.
Therefore, Liu Bei, who knows all this, has always been very careful to walk on the bottom line of those Han clan relatives in Zongzheng Mansion, not only using the identity of "after King Jing of Zhongshan" to obtain certain benefits for himself, but also not completely angering those Han clan relatives in Zongzheng Mansion to find trouble for himself, so this can be regarded as a talent of Liu Bei, who can see through where the bottom line of others is.
Of course, this is also because Liu Bei has no evidence to prove his identity, therefore
But now, because of Liu Bei's own greed, he has lost his identity as "after King Jing of Zhongshan", after all, a man like Liu Xin, who has both a relative of the Han family and a disciple of Duke Zhou, and the identity of a great Han immortal master, has already decided that Liu Bei's identity as "after King Jing of Zhongshan" does not exist, so Liu Bei will naturally not be able to use this identity of "after King Jing of Zhongshan" in the future, after all, let's not say whether Liu Xin will announce this matter to the public, so that everyone knows his "Queen of King Jing of Zhongshan" The identity is not real, and when the time comes, he will be finished, because the persuasiveness in Liu Xin's words is naturally much higher than the persuasiveness in Liu Bei's words, and it can even be said that Liu Xin's casual words, even if Liu Bei refutes them with 10,000 words now, everyone in the Han Dynasty will think that what Liu Xin said is true, and the credibility of what Liu Bei said is 10,000 times higher...
Just like Gongsun Chan next to Liu Bei now, as Liu Bei's good classmate all along, but he has expressed a certain recognition of Liu Bei's identity as "after King Jing of Zhongshan", and his relationship with Liu Bei is usually very good, but now when he hears Liu Xin's identity of Liu Bei's "After King Jing of Zhongshan" does not exist, Gongsun Chan immediately believed Liu Xin's words, although Gongsun Chan did not say anything at this time, but Liu Bei also understood a fact, that is, no matter what he said later, Gongsun Chan will no longer believe in his identity as "Queen of Zhongshan Jingwang", and it is possible to regard himself as an undead liar, and his relationship with Gongsun Chan may be completely ruined at that time...
And Liu Bei can also be sure that if he continues to claim that he may have the identity of "after the king of Zhongshan Jing", then if it reaches Liu Xin's ears, then Liu Bei will know that he will definitely offend Liu Xin, and it is the kind of rhythm that offends Liu Xin to death, after all, Liu Bei is now taking the initiative to ask Liu Xin about his identity, and as a result, after learning a not very good result, he chose to overturn the conclusion that Liu Xin drew for himself, then this can be regarded as a naked slap in the face of Liu Xin, It is equivalent to denying Liu Xin's identity as an "immortal master" in disguise, so even if he offends Liu Xin, Liu Xin will definitely come to find trouble for his own face, and when the time comes, with Liu Bei's current ability, he will not be Liu Xin's opponent at all, or Liu Bei will simply be directly crushed by Liu Xin, and if Liu Xin wants to kill Liu Bei at that time, it will undoubtedly be just a matter of one or two sentences.
Therefore, Liu Bei can only make a difficult decision here now, that is, to give up his identity as "after King Jing of Zhongshan" from now on, in order to befriend Liu Xin and prove that he is a man who takes up and puts down, which can be regarded as redeeming some of his image points in front of Liu Xin, anyway, he is also a man who can become a masterpiece in the future, and Liu Bei feels that Liu Xin may know that he will ask him this question when he is counted here, so Liu Xin will make such an expression just now, I looked at myself for a long time.
However, Liu Bei, who thought of this, also began to comfort himself in his heart, after all, Liu Xin had already calculated that he was not "after King Jing of Zhongshan", but he could still become a masterpiece for a while, so this shows that even if he did not use the identity of "Queen Jing of Zhongshan", he could "make a fortune", so why should he stick to such an unimportant identity.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei nodded silently, and said to Liu Xin in a firm tone: "Thank you for your advice, I finally figured out a problem that has plagued me for so many years, and I already understand how to go next, but I still have to thank the prince again for his guidance!" In the next day, I will definitely not try to pretend to be the identity of King Jing of Zhongshan again, please rest assured, prince. ”
Liu Xin looked at Liu Bei with a little surprise, Liu Xin didn't expect Liu Bei to say such a thing at this moment, after all, in Liu Xin's opinion, the words he just said were equivalent to directly slapping Liu Bei in the face, and by the way, it could be regarded as cutting off Liu Bei's "financial route" in disguise, after all, Liu Xin also heard from Yuan Shao's mouth about what Liu Bei did in Luoyang City, Liu Bei has been cheating and drinking everywhere with the identity of "after the king of Zhongshan Jing", although I believe that Liu Bei is the "queen of Zhongshan Jingwang" There are very few people with the identity, but this does not prevent Liu Bei from taking the opportunity to get certain benefits, so to put it simply, the reason why Liu Bei can still mix well in Luoyang City is because of Liu Bei's identity of "after King Jing of Zhongshan", and now Liu Xin's words are even if Liu Bei's thoughts are broken, and he will no longer be able to use the identity of "after King Jing of Zhongshan" in Luoyang City in the future.
Therefore, Liu Xin thinks that Liu Bei may come to find trouble for himself, or he will quibble because of this, Liu Xin has prepared various routines to counter Liu Bei, such as Liu Xin plans to let Lu Zhi expel Liu Bei from the division by the way...
But now it's good, Liu Xin didn't think that Liu Bei would choose to admit his mistake so straightforwardly, and said that he would no longer use the identity of "after King Jing of Zhongshan", which is like Liu Xin swearing not to use his "immortal master" identity again, which is undoubtedly self-defeating for Liu Bei.
Liu Xin didn't expect that Liu Bei would be able to make the determination of a strong man to break his wrist in such a short period of time, but after thinking about it carefully, Liu Bei also made an extremely correct decision, after all, Liu Xin also knew that Liu Bei would definitely not dare to offend himself, because Liu Xin is now not only the king of Chengdu and the assassin of Yizhou, but also a good friend of Liu Bei's master Lu Zhi, which also means that if Liu Bei offends Liu Xin, Lu Zhi will stand on a neutral position at most, and he doesn't want to help each other, and he will lose Lu Zhi, the biggest backer, when the time comes, Why is Liu Bei now against Liu Xin?
Therefore, Liu Xin also knew that Liu Bei felt that the matter had come to this, so it was better to pretend to be free and easy to choose to give up his identity as "after King Jing of Zhongshan" and be an ordinary person honestly, at least so that Liu Bei could get a little image points.
However, Liu Xin didn't really have too much good impression of Liu Xin, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is worthy of Liu Bei, who was exiled for half his life in history and still founded the Shu Han regime in the end, and now he is only about twenty years old, he has such a scheming and can also break his wrist as a strong man, which makes Liu Xin have to say a word of admiration and admiration, Liu Bei was able to make such a correct decision in such a short time.
However, Liu Xin also had a certain psychological preparation for this, so he smiled and said: "Xuande, you can think like this, this king is still very happy, at least you are still clear about advancing and retreating, knowing the gains and losses, and you don't blame this king casually for telling the truth." ”
When Liu Bei heard Liu Xin say this, he hurriedly shook his head with a smile, and said in an affirmative tone: "Where is it, Lord Wang, you can tell the truth, let Zai Xia realize his mistakes, and Zai Xia is naturally grateful, after all, there is no prince to point out the mistakes to Zaixia, then Zai Xia may suffer a greater punishment in the future, so I am still very grateful to you, Lord Wang." ”
Liu Xin listened to Liu Bei's "sincere" words, and couldn't help but smile and nodded, and sighed in his heart that this Liu Bei really could speak, and Liu Xin was very comfortable in his heart.
At this time, Lu Zhi on the side saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he stood up and said, "Okay, okay, the time is almost up, and it's time for us to leave, Lord Wang." ”
After all, today is the banquet of Yang Ci, the head of the Hongnong Yang family, the most powerful family in the Han Dynasty, for his 60th birthday, so the Hongnong Yang family got a token approved for night travel from the Luoyang Yamen in advance according to the number of guests, and the guests will have a special person responsible for distributing them when they enter the Hongnong Yang family, after all, when the banquet is almost over, Liu Xin estimates that it is already about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and it will be dark early.
Therefore, Lu Zhi's proposal was approved by Liu Xin and Cai Yong, so Liu Xin and others came to the door of Hongnong Yang's house together, and Su Jia had been waiting for Liu Xin here for a long time.
Because Liu Xin's compound happened to be in two completely opposite directions to Lu Zhi and Cai Yong's addresses, Liu Xin agreed with Cai Yong and Lu Zhi again, and after Liu Xin would visit Cai Yong's mansion the day after tomorrow, Liu Xin left on the flowing horse driven by Su Jia.
On the way back, Liu Xin also met the night patrol officials who were inspecting the night vehicles, but these officials selectively ignored Liu Xin and did not come forward to check Liu Xin's vehicles, Liu Xin was still a little confused at first, but Liu Xin thought about it and figured out this problem, after all, Liu Xin is now sitting on a flowing horse, and now everyone in Luoyang City basically knows that the only person who can sit on such a strange flowing horse in Luoyang City is Liu Xin, and what is Liu Xin's identity and status now, These officials are very clear, so these officials are not stupid, they will be bored and uncomfortable to come up to Liu Xin, so these officials are very tacitly ignoring the flowing horse that Liu Xin was riding, so Liu Xin returned home very smoothly along the way.
