Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Luoyang.

royal palace.

The nine-year-old Emperor Liu Xie sat at the desk, looked at Cai Yong, and asked, "Mr. Cai, I am already familiar with the Jijiu Zhang. What content should I learn next?"

Cai Yong took out something from his bosom, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look. This book is called "Three Character Classic". Your Majesty has been reviewing this classic during this period of time."

"What is the Three Character Classic? I have never heard of it."

Liu Xie had been taught by famous teachers since he was young. Although he did not know the content of Confucian classics due to his age, he had heard of the names of the Four Books and Five Classics.

But after searching his mind for a moment, he found that he had never heard of the name "Three Character Classic".

Cai Yong smiled and said, "This Three Character Classic does not belong to any Confucian classics. To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I just heard about it yesterday. However, I think this classic is easy to learn and remember, and has profound meanings. It is just right for Your Majesty to study at this time."

Liu Xie was a little curious and looked at Cai Yong with his little head tilted.

"Qing Cai also just heard about it yesterday?"

Cai Yong nodded, looked at Liu Xie, and smiled as he recounted what happened yesterday in the Three Character Classic.

After hearing this, Liu Xie became even more curious.

"Are you talking about the extremely talented Liu Yunqi, Cai Qing?"

Cai Yong asked happily, "Your Majesty knows this person?"

Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "I heard Prime Minister Dong ask Minister Wang about this man a few days ago in the court. He said that this man is extremely talented, but I still don't quite believe it."

Cai Yong smiled and said, "It is this person. This person is so talented that I have never seen such a person before in my life. He really deserves the title of a man of great talent."

"How old is this person?"

Cai Yong replied: "No more than eighteen years old."

"He's not even eighteen yet, and he already has such talent. From what Cai Qing said, I want to meet him."

Cai Yong smiled and said, "This person has some connection with Your Majesty."

Liu Xie was a little confused.

"What is your connection with me?"

"He is a descendant of Emperor Jing and a relative of the Han Dynasty."

Clan of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie became even more interested when he heard this.

"My clan has produced such a talented person. I must meet him."

"Hurry up and send the order to have Liu Yu come to the palace to see me."

The eunuch received the order and went out of the palace to inform Liu Yu.

Influenced by what happened just now, Liu Xie seemed a little absent-minded. He would only glance out the window from time to time to see if the talented relatives of the Han royal family had arrived.

Cai Yong had just finished his lecture when he heard the eunuch come in and bow, saying, "Your Majesty, Liu Yu has been brought here and is waiting at the door."

Liu Xie felt delighted, it finally came.

"Send him in."

When Liu Yu walked into the house, Liu Xie looked at Liu Yu carefully.

I think he has a handsome and elegant appearance, and seems to be a relative of the Han royal family.

After Liu Yu paid his respects, Liu Xie went straight to the point and asked, "Who is your ancestor?"

Liu Yu replied, "Yu is a descendant of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, the great-great-grandson of Marquis Bainiu, the grandson of Liu Chen, and the son of Liu Yuan."

Liu Xie said with a smile: "He is really a relative of the Han Dynasty. Check the family tree quickly."

After a while, Zong Zheng came with the family tree and read out.

Emperor Jing was born to Liu Fa, Prince Ding of Shengsha.

Liu Mai, Marquis of Chongling, happened;

Buy the life of Liu Xiongqu, the Duke of Chunling;

Xiong Qu gave birth to Liu Li, the governor of Cangwu;

Liu Ci, the Marquis of Lisheng, was born in Ancheng and became filial;

He was granted the birth of Liu Min, Marquis of Ancheng;

Min gave birth to Liu Shang, the Marquis of Bainiu;

Shang gave birth to Liu Chang, Marquis of Bainiu;

Liu Yuan, Magistrate of Changsheng County;

Yuan did not serve in the government, and Liu Yu was the son of Liu Yuan.

Liu Xie checked the family tree and said happily, "You are my uncle."

Liu Yu was secretly happy in his heart, but his expression remained calm. His identity as a relative of the Han royal family was finally officially recognized.

In a few days, the name of his uncle will spread all over the land. By then, he can recruit talents and use them for his own benefit, which will be much easier.

Before Liu Yu could react, Emperor Liu Xie said, "Issue an imperial decree to appoint Liu Yu as the Left General, Marquis of Yangcheng Pavilion, and grant him a mansion, a thousand taels of silver, and a hundred pieces of cloth."

In the Han Dynasty, there were three types of marquisates: county marquis, township marquis, and pavilion marquis.

A Tinghou was given a fief called a Ting, which was ten li in size.

Historically, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang was once a village head.

Both Liu Bei and Guan Yu were granted the titles of Marquis of Yicheng and Marquis of Hanshou.

The front general, rear general, left general and right general are also known as the four generals. They are the third-class generals and are ranked below the nine ministers.

In history, Liu Bei once served as the Left General.

Liu Yu's original intention in writing the "Three Character Classic" yesterday was to ask Cai Yong to introduce him to the emperor, but he did not expect that this matter would go so smoothly. With just a few words, he went from being a commoner to becoming the Left General and Marquis of Yangchengting.

Liu Yu expressed his gratitude.

Cai Yong congratulated him and said, "I never thought Yunqi was your majesty's uncle. I was rude."

Liu Yu said two humble words.

Liu Xie ordered the eunuchs to prepare a banquet.

"I want to have a few drinks with my uncle."

Not long after the three of them sat down at the table, Dong Zhuo came over with a big belly.

After he saluted Liu Xie, he looked at Liu Yu and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty wants to reward Liu Yunqi. Is this true?"

The nine-year-old emperor, perhaps because he had seen too many lives and deaths, joys and sorrows, rarely had any immaturity or childishness on his face. Instead, he had a calmness and composure that could be expressed.

"Yunqi is my uncle. He is so talented and can be a pillar of the country. How can I not reward him?"

Dong Zhuo said again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Although Liu Yunqi is a relative of the Han Dynasty, he has not made any contribution to the court. Such a reward may be beyond the expectations of the world."

"I ask Your Majesty to temporarily withdraw your order. When Yunqi has made contributions to the country, it will not be too late to reward him."

Liu Yu looked at the situation and knew that there was no hope for reward today. He was a little worried that the young emperor could not stabilize the situation, so he stood up and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, I think what Prime Minister Dong said makes sense. Please withdraw your order. It will not be too late to reward me when I have made contributions to the Han Dynasty."

Liu Xie pondered for a long time, and slowly said: "Since the Prime Minister and the Emperor's uncle both said so, then let's follow the Prime Minister's words for the time being. General Zuo and Marquis of Yangcheng Ting will not be rewarded for the time being. After the Emperor's uncle has made contributions to the court, he will be rewarded. However, the mansion, silver, and cloth must not be lacking."

When Dong Zhuo saw that Liu Xie had compromised, he didn't say anything.

He glanced at Liu Yu with a hint of indifference in his eyes.

After saluting, he turned and left.

Liu Yu naturally also saw Dong Zhuo's expression towards him. He had a smile on his face, but he was secretly frightened in his heart.

The joy of being recognized as the emperor's uncle was instantly replaced by depression.

Now Dong Zhuo controls the court. Although the emperor is the master of the world, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor is just a puppet in his hands.

Dong Zhuo’s words determined all the major issues in the world.

It's probably not a good thing for me to be targeted by Dong Zhuo.

Judging from Dong Zhuo's expression, he just disliked him, but he was not yet to the point of killing someone to vent his anger.

But even so, Liu Yu still felt a little scared. Dong Zhuo was cruel, and maybe one day he would be unhappy and take him as a scapegoat. It would be too late to regret it then.

He is the knife and I am the fish.

Oh, this feeling is too bad.

It seems that my plan to leave Luoyang City has to be brought forward.

After they drank for a while, Cai Yong and Liu Yu said goodbye and left.

Liu Xie took Liu Yu's hand and said, "Uncle, I heard that you are very talented. Come to the palace to teach me in your spare time."

"I will remember that once I have settled matters at home, I will come to the palace to visit Your Majesty."

Liu Xie smiled slightly, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.
