With Liu Bei's help, Lu Zhi stood up and came to Lin Mu.
"Your Majesty, the person standing behind me is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande."
When Lin Mu heard that it was indeed Liu Xuande, he stood up and looked at Liu Bei carefully.
When Lin Mu stood up, the banquet that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet.
But soon Lin Mu smiled, asked a eunuch to fill the wine glass in his hand, and then picked up the wine glass in his hand.
"I have heard of Xuande's name for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so strange."
Liu Bei still had a calm expression. He had been ridiculed countless times, and this time was not lacking.
I just felt in my heart that Lin Mu was so frivolous that it would be difficult for him to achieve anything big.
Before Lin Mu met Liu Bei, he had never seen such a strange person.
His hands can actually be longer than his knees. No wonder he uses two swords on the battlefield. If he had used a spear, he would have stabbed others down before they even mounted their horses.
The officials present also laughed loudly. When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard what Lin Mu said, their expressions changed instantly.
But Guan Yu could still hold it in. Zhang Fei saw that Lin Mu seemed to be laughing at Liu Bei, and he immediately wanted to stand up.
Before Liu Bei could speak, Lin Mu unexpectedly opened his mouth and spoke again.
"I have heard about the benevolence of Duke Xuande for a long time. He first conquered the Yellow Turbans and then conquered Dong Zhuo. He has made great achievements. This time I announce Duke Xuande to Luoyang because I want to entrust Duke Xuande with important responsibilities."
Liu Bei originally thought that Lin Mu called him here just to make fun of Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that he turned around and expressed that he would have a heavy responsibility for him.
Zhang Fei, who was just about to stand up, did not expect that the situation would change so quickly, and all the officials present suddenly stopped laughing.
"Do you have any objections to appointing Liu Bei as Guang Luxun and in charge of the guards and attendants in Luoyang City?"
Guang Luxun is one of the Nine Qings, who can be in charge of all the guards and attendants in Luoyang City. He can be said to be an extremely high-ranking official.
Liu Bei was so virtuous that he could hold this official position. This appointment made everyone feel unreal for a while.
Even Liu Bei's mind was buzzing. He knew how high Guang Luxun's position was.
The officials looked at Lin Mu with some confusion. Although they knew that Lin Mu always did whatever he wanted when appointing officials, this was too arbitrary.
Logically speaking, how could a high-ranking official like Liu Bei, one of the Nine Qings, take his turn?
And in terms of qualifications, as for Guang Luxun's position, if you don't stay here for more than ten years, where will it be your turn?
But why would Lin Mu care so much? What procedures should be followed at this time?
With Liu Bei's talents, it can be said that it is more than enough to serve as a Guang Luxun. Liu Bei is a clan member, so suppressing the family by himself does not conflict with Liu Bei.
There is no need to worry about Liu Bei's retaliation. Now because of his suppression of the noble family, some people have long been unable to stand it.
The other people in the city are all children of aristocratic families. These people are always doing assassinations or something, which is annoying.
Liu Bei's two brothers are not weak, so it is perfect to use Liu Bei to defend Luoyang's safety.
After Lin Mu glanced around the officials, all officials lowered their heads to show that they had no objections, and only Lu Zhi spoke.
"Your Majesty, you can't. Although Xuande has meritorious service, but now that he has just come to Luoyang, how can he be worthy of the honor of Guangluxun? If your Majesty wants to use Xuande, he only needs to be a general."
Although Lu Zhi knew that his student Liu Bei was talented, he rose to power so quickly. Lu Zhi was afraid that this was not a good thing and might cause criticism.
Therefore, although Liu Bei was his student, Lu Zhi still wanted Lin Mu to let go of his appointment.
In the Han Dynasty, the country was governed by loyalty and filial piety. Although Lu Zhi was not Liu Bei's parent, he was Liu Bei's teacher.
When Liu Bei saw Lu Zhi like this, he quickly stood up and saluted Lin Mu. Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Lin Mu.
"There is no need to worry, Shangshu Lu. I believe that Xuande Gong is born with extraordinary talents. If Lu Shangshu is worried that Xuande Gong suddenly ascended to a high position and made many omissions, he should teach him more."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were already so excited that they didn't expect that the emperor would appoint Guang Luxun because of his eldest brother's natural abnormality.
He opened his arms and glanced at his own arms, wishing he could stretch them longer.
Liu Bei was stunned at this time. He really didn't expect that he would become one of the Nine Qings. Even he himself thought that this would be too childish.
But then he threw this thought into his mind, that is, the emperor was kind to him, and even if the emperor was stupid, he should repay it with death.
Lin Mu raised the wine glass high, and then stretched it towards Liu Bei.
"Congratulations to Duke Xuande!"
Then Lin Mu drank the wine in the wine glass, and the officials could only pick up their own wine glasses and toast Liu Bei.
At this time, Liu Bei was dazed and saluted in all directions. Liu Bei was inherently humble. These officials were all his colleagues in the future. If he showed more courtesy at this time, it would be easier for him to get closer in the future.
At this moment, Lin Mu suddenly found that his health was dropping.
Lin Mu turned back and pointed at the eunuch who had just poured wine for him.
"Take him down and put him on death row."
The officials who had been celebrating Liu Bei lively just now fell silent.
Liu Bei suddenly felt an extremely depressing atmosphere, and suddenly woke up.
After a while, the eunuch just now was captured by Mingong and his guards.
Zhang Fei looked at the changing atmosphere in the field and felt the emperor's extraordinary momentum.
His originally rough character suddenly became cautious.
"Don't worry, everyone. This person poisoned my cup and it has nothing to do with you."
Lin Mu drank the remaining wine in the glass, and then continued to pour himself wine from the glass.
Liu Bei was surprised when he saw it. Liu Bei even doubted whether Lin Mu just found an excuse to execute a eunuch.
In fact, there was only one reason why Lin Mu didn't care, and that was that there was nothing wrong with the poison.
At this time, where did so many colorless, odorless and poisonous poisons come from?
It's more of a poison that slowly corrodes the internal organs after being drunk.
What Lin Mu was not afraid of the most was this kind of poison. It might take several hours for a normal person to die after drinking it, let alone Lin Mu.
After the banquet, the three brothers returned to Lu Zhi's residence together with Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi sat behind the carriage and spoke earnestly to Liu Bei.
"Xuande, today you were promoted to Guangluxun as soon as you entered the court. This shows that the emperor values you, which is a good thing. But you have also seen that the emperor is extremely domineering, but he will raise the butcher's knife when something happens. In the future, As in the DPRK, you should be cautious."
Liu Bei nodded, recalling Lin Mu's power at the banquet just now.
When he is angry, all the officials will become silent, his character will be extremely weird, and he will be extremely murderous.
"Be sure to keep it in mind and never forget it."
