To be honest, in this era when there are no iron pots and stir-frying, the cooking techniques and seasoning techniques of food are somewhat meaningless.

Even if it is what the emperor eats, it is just that the ingredients are excellent, and the other techniques are very similar, steaming, roasting, simmering, frying, and nothing more.

When Liu Bei is at home, he will try his best to make some delicious offerings for himself, such as digging a pit to make a flower chicken, starting an oil pot and making some fried chicken legs and chicken wings, etc., which can be regarded as getting closer to the taste in his memory.

When he has spare time in the future, he must light up the iron pot technology that can stir-fry, and then toss out the cooking technique of stir-frying.

Liu Bei imagined this when he was eating barbecue.

In a very pleasant atmosphere, this feast of the Son of Heaven ended with great pleasure, and everyone was given two precious days off, and two days later, a formal reward meeting will be held in the court, and the generals who have returned from this victory will be sealed all over the place.

Of course, before this, Liu Bei was not surprised to get a special reception from Liu Hong.

Liu Hong couldn't even wait for Liu Bei to sleep steadily, so he couldn't wait for Zhang Rang to summon Liu Bei and call Liu Bei directly to his own study.

As soon as he saw Liu Bei, Liu Hong didn't give him a good look.

"Xuande, do you remember how you promised me when you first set out on the expedition?"

"Your Majesty, this ......"

Liu Bei smiled awkwardly: "What the minister promised His Majesty was to clear the disaster for His Majesty and eliminate the rebellion in Liangzhou. ”

Liu Hong snorted.

"Well, you did sweep away the rebellion in Liangzhou and made a contribution, and I have to reward you, but do you know how worried I was when I learned that you had made a great contribution? Let the Son of Heaven worry and be restless, what should you be guilty of? ”

Liu Bei blinked, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhang Rang watched from the side and opened his mouth at the right time.

"Your Majesty is not only happy when he learns the news of your military exploits, but also worried, for fear that you will not cherish your life on the battlefield, for fear that you have three longs and two shorts, which can make Your Majesty so worried, Liu Xuande, you are so bold."

Liu Bei figured it out.

Immediately he fell on his face.

"The minister is bent on sweeping away the calamity for the country, and he doesn't want His Majesty to be so concerned, and the minister is guilty of death! Please also punish Your Majesty! ”

The gesture is well done.

Liu Hong looked at Liu Bei for a while, sighed, walked closer, squatted down, and helped Liu Bei up.

"You are loyal to the monarch and the country, I know, if you are an ordinary person, with such wealth as you, how can you still go to the battlefield? What's more, I still go into battle in person, kill the generals and capture the flag, I understand your intentions, but Xuande, you also have to know that you can live well, which is more important to me. ”

Liu Bei looked at Liu Hong for a while, his eyes were a little moist, and he reached out to wipe his tears.

"Your Majesty's love and protection, the minister is grateful, but the more this is the case, the more the minister has to die for His Majesty, otherwise, how can the minister repay His Majesty's love?"

When Liu Hong heard this, he was slightly touched, and he smiled bitterly.

Leaning less, he sighed slightly and spoke slowly.

"The more I love you, the more you have to repay me with your life, and in this way, isn't it a bad thing? Xuande, if you can give me advice, you are already loyal to the monarchy, and you don't need to take your life so lightly.

You must know that there are too few clansmen and courtiers like you, and before you, except for my grandfather and mother, I have never had anyone who is truly loyal to me, and all of them care more about their own family, not the big man, let alone me.

You are different, you are a relative of the Han family, you have a big Han in your heart, there is an emperor, you don't care about what the scholars give you, this is your most valuable place, compared to these, the things on the battlefield, I actually don't value it so much. ”

"Your Majesty can think like this, and the minister's efforts are not unrewarded, but Your Majesty, what is on the battlefield is really important."

Liu Bei said slowly: "Any country is established on the battlefield, relying on the things on the battlefield, without the things on the battlefield, the country can not be stable, Your Majesty don't look at how the scholars boast about the nobility of themselves and their families, in fact, in front of the army, there are only a very few people who can adhere to integrity and not grovel."

The Han Dynasty was able to maintain the unification, mainly because of the victory on the battlefield, what could not be obtained on the battlefield, and other means could not be obtained. ”

"I know, I know."

Liu Hong shook Liu Bei's hand: "But if there is no good minister who is loyal to the monarch and the country, where will the battlefield victory come from?" If the good minister can't protect himself, how can he maintain the current situation? ”

Liu Bei looked at Liu Hong, and his eyes turned red again.

"How can a minister not die for His Majesty?"

"Here you go again, here you go again."

Liu Hong felt that Liu Bei was really loyal, and he was full of emotion, patted Liu Bei's shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, don't say it, don't say it, just come back safely, I called you this time, I still want to ask you what you think about the reward."

I have also discussed with my grandfather and aunt before, and discussed that it is easy to say that your reward, title and wealth are all good, it is not important, what is important, what kind of position should be given to you, with your merits, you are worthy of a high position, but with your qualifications, give you too high a position, I am afraid that you will be the target of public criticism. ”

Zhang Rang also spoke.

"Your Majesty even thought about directly appointing you as a high-ranking official of Jiuqing, such as Guangluxun and the like, so that you can guard the inner palace in a bright and bright way, and you can get along with Your Majesty more, but considering all aspects, I feel that it is inconvenient."

That's really inconvenient, Liu Bei doesn't have any idea about the position of Guangluxun, if he really wants to become Guangluxun, it's not beautiful, the Guangluxun of the Eastern Han Dynasty is more than a little worse than the Guangluxun of the Western Han Dynasty in terms of authority, and it's really not interesting to be a Guangluxun.

So he hurried to express his opinion.

"Although the minister has made great contributions, but on the way to government affairs, there are still many deficiencies, lack of sufficient experience, and suddenly ascend to a high position in the imperial court, Jiuqing high-ranking officials, I am afraid it is not suitable."

Hearing this, Liu Hong thought about it and nodded slowly.

"You have a point, so what do you think is the best fit? Just say that Ah Gong and I are your counselors, and if it is suitable, we will make a decision, and we will make your decision first, and then consider other people's. ”

Welfare, absolute welfare.

The benefits of the Han clan and hugging the emperor's thighs.

Liu Bei was secretly happy in his heart, and his face was full of contemplation.

Less leaning, Liu Bei spoke.

"The minister wants to share more worries for His Majesty, whether it is military or government affairs, the minister wants to share his worries for His Majesty, and the minister wants to make His Majesty carefree and be a peaceful prince."

This is Liu Hong's real greatest wish.

He really wants to be a peaceful prince.

"Hahahaha, I want to too, I also want to be the Prince of Peace."

Liu Hong said with a smile: "It's just that the world is not peaceful, and it's not for me to have the final say, I want the world to be safe and stable, nothing happens, is it possible?" The chaotic ministers and thieves in this world are not as simple as one or two. ”

"But for now, Liangzhou An is Sanfu'an, Sanfu'an, Luoyang'an, Luoyang'an, then there will be no big changes in the world, so at present, only if Liangzhou remains stable and there is no turmoil, Your Majesty can be the Prince of Peace."

Liu Bei raised his head and looked at Liu Hong.

Liu Hong was slightly stunned, and then frowned.

"Xuande, what do you mean?"

Liu Bei said goodbye.

"Please be the pastor of Liangzhou, guard Liangzhou for Your Majesty, and be fully responsible for the affairs of Liangzhou, so that Liangzhou can be completely restored to stability."
