Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 82 Is he crazy?Still this big guy is crazy!
Night has fallen.

Accompanied by a slight "tapping" sound...

The emperor Liu Hong, who was dressed in a red and black dragon robe, was slowly pacing left and right in the Hall of Long Live Qianqiu, while Jian Shuo was bowing and reporting something to him.

As Jian Shuo's voice fell completely, Liu Hong just said, "That's all?"

"Yes!" Jian Shuo replied.

Liu Hong's eyes were deep, and he pondered for a moment and said: "That is to say, whether it is 'hoarding beards', 'hoarding' good horses, or 'stocking up donkeys', Yu'er is done months in advance, without any rumors. When did you start hoarding?"

"Yes!" Jian Shuo replied truthfully.

Liu Hong slowly knelt and sat back on the dragon seat, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. After a moment of silence, he asked slowly: "Then? How did Yu'er get the wind?"

Liu Hong doesn't understand...

It stands to reason that he should be happy to know Yu'er's purpose of "hoarding donkeys" and how to make the price of donkeys skyrocket.

Can…

This joy did not appear for too long before it was replaced by a huge shock.

How did Yu'er get these rumors?

You know, whether it is the emperor's good beard, the Hu Feng in the palace is introduced to the people, or the county horse is brought back to the court, the price of the horse has skyrocketed, and even... because of the hoarding of donkeys, Liu Hong plans to hang a "donkey wind" in the palace , These are without warning and full of unknowns.

even…

This has nothing to do with strategy, not even insight.

Emperor Liu Hong would not believe in the so-called Taoist alchemy, yin and yang, five elements, and astrology!
Then...the only possibility is Yu'er's understanding of him as the emperor, this is an accurate prediction based on trying to figure out the heart of the emperor!

Jian Shuo asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, if the investigation continues, the eldest son of the emperor may realize that someone is investigating him... Yulin Temple has certain power and energy."

As soon as this statement comes out…

Liu Hong glared at Jian Shuo, he understood that even Jian Shuo couldn't hold his breath anymore, this matter was so weird that even Jian Shuo wanted to spout his words!

"The tiger's poison doesn't eat its eggs, so do you think that I will harm Yu'er?"

Jian Shuo was startled, and knelt on the ground with a "slap", he understood that what His Majesty hates the most is when others try to figure out his thoughts and know that he has violated a taboo... hurriedly said. "The minister made a mistake, and the minister is guilty!"

Dou Da's sweat dripped from his back, and Jian Shuo suddenly realized that he was thinking too much.

It is true that His Majesty hates others trying to figure out his thoughts, but...is the eldest son of the emperor someone else?

Even if the eldest son of the emperor can really figure out His Majesty's thoughts in advance, Your Majesty... Your Majesty will not be afraid of him, but Jian Shuo thinks too much on his own.

"You step back!"

"Here!" Jian Shuo bowed and stepped back.

Zhang Rang came in quickly, and the emperor Liu Hongyou closed his eyes and meditated.

Indeed, no emperor would like his thoughts to be seen through by others!
What's more, it's a teenager!This would be a huge threat even to Emperor Liu Hong.

If it is not his son, then perhaps, Liu Hong will choose two paths, the first one - to test him and see if he can be used by him!
If not, then there is only the second one left, let him completely disappear in this world!

However, this young man who is proficient in spying on people's hearts is Liu Hong's eldest son, so it is completely different.

A prince who can spy on people's hearts and make accurate predictions is of great benefit to the stability of the imperial power and the revival of the great man!
even…

For a moment, Liu Hong thought about it again and again, if Yu'er can really enter the court as an official, what kind of scenery will this court be like?
"Ha ha…"

Liu Hong laughed out loud.

It was as if he had seen the sun from the clouds on his cheeks, and he had received the most reliable help, and the problem of money and food in the treasury was easily solved. He only felt the arrogance that had been silent for many years surged up. Take a big gulp.

"It's a pity, it's a pity I didn't make it sooner..."

When he said this, he realized that Zhang Rang appeared behind him.

The words in his mouth stopped abruptly.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Zhang Rang thought in his heart that it was probably the credit of the four donkeys he sent as tribute, so he immediately mentioned it.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Wu is fond of donkeys. Every time he hears a donkey bray, he can't help but smile from ear to ear. Thinking about it... Your Majesty is also very happy to watch a donkey today!"

"not bad."

Liu Hong glanced at Zhang Rang approvingly, without him...Liu Hong would not have realized the huge business opportunity behind this "stocking of donkeys".

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Rang continued: "I originally planned to buy some fresher playthings and build some gardens to make Your Majesty happy, but...I went to see the treasury yesterday. It's completely empty. I was thinking, how can I earn some money for His Majesty, it's because of this white donkey...I suddenly thought of Emperor Wu...that sell..."

Don't wait for Zhang Rang to finish speaking.

Liu Hong waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to say more, how could he fail to understand Zhang Rang's meaning, isn't he still the peddler?
Yes, in the past, Liu Hong was also moved by this "selling the officialdom".

Anyway, even if this official is not for sale, he is also dispatched by the "Tweet Order". None of these local officials has the shadow of a big gentry behind them!
The only concern is that once the sale of officials and nobles starts, there will be turmoil in the local area, and the people at the bottom will complain!

This is also the reason why Liu Hong did not take that step for a long time.

But now...

It's different, the situation is completely different, it's not that they won't sell, but it's unnecessary!

This…

I have to thank Zhang Changshi for sending the four white donkeys.

"Zhang Changshi, when I first came to the throne, when the power fell to Chen Fan and Dou Wu, I said a word, do you still remember?"

"What does His Majesty mean?"

"Zhang Changshi is my father-in-law!" Liu Hong suddenly stood up, and immediately patted Zhang Rang on the shoulder.

This beat doesn't matter, just give up with a "click" and then kneel down.

At that time... Your Majesty had just ascended the throne, saying "Zhang Changshi is my father, Zhao Changshi is my mother", this is to win them over, let their eunuchs have sex with powerful officials and relatives!
Now... what does His Majesty mean by saying this again?
Zhang Rang didn't think it was a compliment, he was covered in cold sweat...

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Rang quickly changed the subject. "Your Majesty, He Guiren of Hanzhang Palace is specially wearing a Hu suit today, with an exotic style, soaring upwards, waiting to serve His Majesty?"

Well…

Liu Hong smiled at Zhang Rang. "Zhang Changshi, you always bring me luck, haha, if you do something for me again, prepare a donkey cart, and drive the four white donkeys in front. From now on, these four donkeys will stop. Where? I will stay there overnight!"

ah... ah...

Zhang Rang's eyes almost burst out.

Donkey...a donkey cart?overnight?

He subconsciously thought that the emperor really knew how to play?

But... this thing is outrageous!
What does your Majesty mean by this? Do you want to hear the braying of donkeys between the bed curtains of the beauties?
This this…

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Rang was about to speak.

Liu Hong's voice came out again. "Also, I'm planning to hold a donkey beauty contest in Luoyang City. If anyone's donkey is named the most beautiful donkey, I will give the donkey's owner the title of 'two thousand stones'!"

what…

Zhang Rang felt his eyes were about to pop out.

This is no longer outrageous, but a big one!
"Besides..." Liu Hong didn't finish his sentence. "This donkey beauty pageant will be held every year in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. I have a lot of official titles of 'two thousand stones', so it can be regarded as another kind of 'selling official titles'? I will leave this matter to you and me." Cao Da Si Nong is gone!"

One last sentence left...

Liu Hong walked briskly out of the Hall of Longevity.

Only Zhang Rang was left dumbfounded and stunned...

he feels...

—or he is mad!
——Either this big guy is crazy!
