The so-called auspiciousness is a jade seal, which is one inch square and has a bucket button. The jade is warm and has a complete shape. There are four Miao seal characters on the seal: Zhongshan Wang Xi.

Liu Bei looked over and over for a while, but was a little unsure, so he sent someone to invite the country's prime minister Feng Jilai. Feng Ji was running around for days and was in poor health and did not attend today's banquet. While waiting for Feng Ji, Liu Bei stared at Xian Xiangrui's people and looked again and again. Xian Xiang was three dark-faced men with a timid expression. At first glance, he was a man who had never seen any big world. The leader was wearing an official uniform, and was a little calmer than the other two, but his expression was reserved and nervous. He must have been an official, but his status was not high.

Liu Bei asked about their names and origins. They were the people of Beiping County. They found that the location of the jade seal was Shunshui outside the county town. They rested by the river and found the jade seal. At first, they thought it was a stone, but later they found words on it. They thought it might be a treasure, so they went to the city to ask someone to check it out and found that it was a jade seal, and it was used by the King of Zhongshan. They immediately thought of Liu Bei, who had just been named king, and rushed to present the treasure.

The leading man was Xu An, the county magistrate of Beiping County, who was responsible for checking the jade seal. However, his knowledge was limited and he only recognized the three characters of Zhongshan King. The remaining character was too complicated and seal characters, so he was not sure.

Liu Bei felt that there was nothing wrong with it. The descriptions of these three people should be true, and he couldn't help but feel happy. The emperor came in a hurry, and the ceremony of enthronement was a bit hasty. Until now, there was no official seal for him. God gave him a jade seal, which could help the gods, which may be a good omen.

At this time, the guests who attended the banquet also started to talk, and they were anxious and came forward to congratulate and said some auspicious words. Liu Bei was happy to hear it, and his smile could not be suppressed. He was considering whether he would take this opportunity to pay and recruit troops. This was his real purpose of treating guests. Just as he was thinking about how to speak, Feng Ji rushed over and took the seal from Liu Bei. He took a look and immediately changed his face. He attached it to Liu Bei's ear and said a few words.

Liu Bei was shocked. "Mingqi? Tomb Raiders?" Then he changed his face and looked at the three people who offered treasures fiercely, with their faces blue and red. He waved his hand and called Lang Wei. "Take these three people down, put them in prison, and be questioned strictly."

Lang Wei stepped forward and took the three of them. The three of them didn't understand why, so they shouted loudly. Liu Bei ignored them and ordered them to take them down and interrogated them strictly. The person who had just come forward to congratulate him saw that the situation was wrong, he returned to his seat in shame and never dared to say a word. The lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold and became a little weird. The word "Tomb Raiders" means that the jade seal may be from the tomb of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan. If the situation is true, then the matter will be serious. Liu Bei has always claimed that he was the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, and was just named King Zhongshan, which means that Shao was the ancestor and reviving Zhongshan. As a result, he just became king, and Liu Sheng's tomb was stolen, and undoubtedly a loud and crisp slap in the face.

This is a bare-fruit provocation.

Liu Bei glanced over the hall with anger, looking like a tomb robber, and the most suspected person was Zhen Yan. He stroked the hilt of the sword around his waist, thinking about whether he would take Zhen Yan down in court. Feng Ji also followed Liu Bei for a long time and knew his character. He was afraid that he would make an impulsive decision in his anger, so he quickly pulled Liu Bei's sleeve. Although Liu Bei was angry, he still obeyed Feng Ji's opinions and asked him to speak out and temporarily withdrew. Feng Ji ordered Liu Xiu to host the banquet, not allowed anyone to leave the palace, let alone leave the city.

Back in the backyard, Liu Bei looked at the jade seal, furious and cursed. "It's too much to bully people! It's too much to bully people! What do these Zhongshan people want to do? Do they think my knife is not good? How dare they do this?"

Feng Ji frowned and pondered. This matter was very big and must be handled properly, otherwise it would be difficult for Liu Bei to gain a foothold in Zhongshan.

Liu Bei suddenly stopped and said viciously: "Sir, don't guess, it's done by the Zhen family."

Feng Ji said: "I also think the Zhen family is very suspicious, but does the king have any evidence?"

"I will arrest Zhen Yan now and interrogate him strictly. The result will definitely be found."

"What after the results were found?" Feng Ji raised his eyelids and asked lightly: "King, the people from the Zhen family either went to Jiangdong or Liaodong. The people who stayed in Zhongshan were counting and their money and food were limited. Even if you kill their whole family, what can you gain?"

"What should I do?" Liu Bei was stunned. He didn't expect that Feng Ji would have this attitude.

"The most urgent task is to confirm the robbery of the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan, bury the corpse, and then chase the thieves. If you can find the exact evidence and kill someone, you will be able to convince the public." Feng Ji walked to the case and picked up the jade seal on the case and looked at it again. "This jade seal appeared in the river in the north of Beiping County. Whether it was unintentional loss or intentional discovery, it means that the tomb robbers were heading to Zhuo County. To steal such a large tomb cannot be completed by one or two people. With a large number of treasures, it is difficult to easily pass the ban. Send people to investigate, and some clues should be found. If these people are hidden in Zhuo County, then things will be much easier."

"What should those people do?"

"Hold on time, wait until the investigation is clear." Feng Ji closed his hands and raised his lips slightly. "The heads of each family are suspected of tomb robbing. The king is still afraid that those people will not pay for money and food? To be honest, I was thinking about what reason to keep them, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

Liu Bei suddenly realized that no matter whether the tomb robbers was the Zhen family or not, the Zhen family was the most suspicious. He understood and others also understood, so as long as they were not stupid, they would try their best to draw a clear line with the Zhen family and show their innocence. What is the best way? Naturally, it is to pay money and be loyal to him. Even the Zhen family would not jump out to find trouble at this time.

Liu Bei turned his anger into joy. He still met Ji Gaoming, taking advantage of the situation and turning harm into profit, and solving the biggest problem at once. What does it matter if the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan was stolen? It’s just that his reputation is a little ugly, and the actual losses are limited. Only with money, grain, and people can we have the strength to fight Sun Ce. If Sun Ce can be defeated, the Zhen family in Zhongshan will not be the meat on the sacrificial case, so I can slaughter it?

Liu Bei suddenly felt aroused. There would be no shadow of Sun Ce behind this, right? Although the Zhen family in Zhongshan is not very famous, it is the Zhongshan clan and should not do such a thing. At this moment, Sun Ce is the one who can instruct them. Sun Ce asked about his origin in front of King Chen Liu Chong, so he was unable to be listed as a clan for a long time. Now the situation is critical, and the emperor wants to win him over and give him the King of Zhongshan. It is not impossible for Sun Ce to disgust him if he does something.

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more angry he became. Sun Ce targeted him everywhere, and the grudge became deeper and deeper.

As Feng Ji expected, he was suspected of robbing the tomb of the King of Zhongshan and was under house arrest in Lu Nu. All the families in Zhongshan were a little panicked and offered money and organized their troops to show their affection to Liu Bei. In just half a month, Liu Bei had more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry, and he had enough money and food. The gifts he received were even piled up in the warehouse, which finally solved Liu Bei's urgent need. He not only solved his own money and food problem, but also provided a large amount of supplies to the emperor.

Accompanied by Feng Ji, Liu Bei personally rushed to Beiping to repair the tomb, buried his bones, and sacrificed himself in Tailao, officially recognizing his ancestors and returning to his hometown. The Liu clan in Zhuo County also sent people to participate in the rituals and formally regarded Liu Bei as the sect leader.

Under Feng Ji's planning, Liu Bei was lucky in disguise, gaining both profit and reputation.

The only thing that made Liu Bei unhappy was that he made a rumor and wanted to marry the Zhongshan clan, but no one responded. There were some rumors that were unfavorable to him. Some said that Liu Bei had just become the King of Zhongshan and his ancestral tomb was dug. This was not a good omen. No one knew how many days the King of Zhongshan could be. Some people said that Liu Bei repeatedly and conquered Gongsun Zan, Yuan Tan, and Sun Ce, but he failed to last for a long time. This time he was dependent on the emperor, and he would definitely not be able to last for a long time. If he became a rebel minister, he would definitely humiliate his ancestors. The excavation of the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan might be a sign. Some people said that although Liu Bei had fought for many years, he had won fewer victory and more defeats. Once he was defeated, he would abandon his wife and son, and his daughter would marry him. Even if he became a queen, there would be no guarantee. Who knows when he would defeat the battle again?

Hearing these rumors, Liu Bei was furious and repeatedly banned rumors. He sent people to investigate the source of the rumors, but the results were very little, which made people panic. In desperation, he had to accept Fengji's suggestion, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and wait for the rumors to subside.

But the situation was not as Liu Bei expected. The rumors not only showed no sign of stopping, but instead became more and more intense. There was no progress in tracing the tomb robbers. The appearance of King Jing of Zhongshan was not damaged much, with only one robbery hole, but the burial objects in the tomb were robbed and were published one after another. There were suspected burial objects in Zhuo County and Hejian areas, and the bigger problem was not these burial objects, but a rumor.

Some people say that there is a stele in Liu Sheng's tomb. There are a few words similar to prophecies and divinations engraved on it. The specific contents are different, but the meanings are similar. It is said that when Liu Sheng was alive, Dongfang Shuo, the most famous strange man at that time, once predicted that two hundred and seventy years after Liu Sheng's death, a child would be born. This person would pretend to recognize Liu Sheng's bloodline, deceive the world and steal the name, and destroy the Liu family. He had two brothers in different surnames, one surname was Guan and the other surname was Zhang, and the same bed was the same. He had the same sleeves, which violated human ethics and hurt children, and was destined to have no descendants. The surnames of Guan and Zhang were connected to the meaning of closing the door and closing the business, indicating that the Liu family's country was cut off from the hands of this person.

When Liu Bei heard these rumors, he was stunned, and even Feng Ji was a little panicked. It was obviously not that the people were spreading it casually, but that someone was behind the scenes and targeting Liu Bei everywhere. If it was not stopped, the blow to the morale of the people should not be underestimated.

Just when Liu Bei was planning to kill, investigate the source of the rumors and kill a group of people, Guan Yu heard news that Taishi Ci appeared in Baitanshan outside Lulong's Frontier, with unknown numbers and possible advance westward. In Shanggu, Jixian gathered in Jixian and was preparing to go south to join the war, the people were uneasy when they heard the wind and asked to return to the grassland to avoid the tribe being attacked. The deserters were endless, which had seriously affected the upcoming war.
