    People were surprised why the person who read the memorial text would become the Marquis of Dongyang, but this did not prevent them from praising this extraordinary genius.

    Liu Ke recited the whole article eloquently without any pause, as if he was really referring to the memorial article.

    Only those at the front clearly know that there is not a single word in the so-called memorial inscription.

    What is even more commendable is that Liu Ke did not make a single slip of the tongue during the recitation process, and his voice was full of emotion and cadence.

    Even Cai Yong, who had the most stringent requirements for sacrifices, could not find any faults.

    When the ceremony was over, Hua Xin held the imperial edict high and began his performance.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang has worked hard and achieved great results, and he has been promoted to the title of King of Dongyang!"

    There was a sudden burst of noise from the audience.

    The Marquis of Dongyang is finally crowned king!

    No, he should be called the King of Dongyang now.

    Just when Liu Ke thought things would end successfully, something unexpected happened.

    With the reminder of the title, Emperor Xian also gave many rewards.

    One of them includes Jiuxi!

    The problem arises here.

    "Your Majesty has a reward, give me nine tins!"

    Hua Xin sneered indifferently, holding the imperial edict in his hand, waiting for Liu Ke to step forward to accept it.

    "Jiuxi" means "Nine Gifts", which are nine kinds of ritual vessels given by the emperor to his ministers, representing the highest courtesy.

    According to the ancient book "Book of Rites", these nine things are: chariots and horses, clothes, hairpins, Zhuhu, Nabi, bows and arrows, axes, tigers and horses, and Lexian. They each have different meanings.

    The carriage refers to the carriage that the emperor rides on, which is drawn by six horses and is luxurious and majestic.

    The emperor gave chariots and horses to commend those with high moral character.

    The clothes are not ordinary clothes, they refer to Gunmian clothes and red saddlebags.

    The gongmian is the dress and crown worn by ancient emperors and ministers when attending important events, and the red polo shirt is the shoe worn by the emperor and the princes.

    The emperor gives clothes to those who can stabilize the people.

    ¡­¡­

    With Liu Ke¡¯s virtue, it¡¯s no big deal to be awarded Jiuxi.

    But when Jiuxi reached the Wang Mang period, his taste began to change.

    When powerful ministers change generations and seize the throne, they must first be crowned king and add nine tins, and then add dragon robes and ascend to the nine-five.

    When Cao Cao became king, he was also given Jiuxi, but it did not cause a sensation at that time.

    Because Cao Cao is a powerful minister!

    But Liu Ke is different. He is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and does not control the court.

    The ministers who obtained Jiuxi not only had decorations similar to those of the emperor, but also had powers similar to those of the emperor, and their status was equivalent to that of "deputy emperor".

    Cao Cao looked at this scene happily. As long as Liu accepted it, he seemed to be saying to the world:

    I am an ambitious person, you should be careful!

    Liu Bei claimed to be the King of Hanzhong, and Cao Cao rectified his name, but he did not give Jiuxi.

    If Liu Bei knew about it, wouldn't he be jealous?

    Of course Liu Ke doesn¡¯t have to accept the reward, but what about the king-making ceremony?

    It was so grand and ended with the good intentions of refusing to offer the emperor?

    This is where Cao Cao¡¯s insidious intentions lie.

    "King Dongyang, please accept the order!" Hua Xin showed a smile.

    Liu Ke accepted the imperial edict magnanimously, and there were bursts of cheers under the altar.

    The throne is secure!

    Cao Cao couldn't explain the feeling in his heart. When he made him king, the people were not so enthusiastic.

    It¡¯s so enviable!

    "Welcome King Dongyang!"

    Yangzhou hundred officials bowed one after another, led by Lu Su, Guo Jia, Jia Yan, Xi You, Cai Yan, Mi Zhu and others. Of course, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and other followers were also in the seats, except that they were behind.

    The military generals are on the other side. Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Dian Wei, Lu Bu and others are all fully armored and powerful.

    Cao Cao felt envious for a while, but he quickly adjusted.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang accepted Jiuxi. In this way, everyone in the world will know his ambition. It's hard for Sun Ce to say, but Liu Bei will definitely be on my side!"

    "Not only that, all the wise people in the world and all the major families will choose me instead of the unfriendly Marquis of Dongyang!"

    Before this, everyone refused to serve as an official because of Cao Cao's ambition.

    Now it¡¯s such a discountTeng and Dongyang Hou were also ambitious, so they took away most of the hatred.

    Cao Cao was not completely without gains.

    However, he couldn't understand the next scene.

    Liu Ke stood up and said loudly: "I am here today only because of your help!"

    Both civil servants and military generals were very excited because they knew that the reward was coming.

    "A chariot and a horse are all given to Zijing!"

    Lu Su was shocked!

    If it were an ordinary carriage and horse, Lu Su would definitely accept it calmly, but this is Jiuxi!

    What will happen if you take it yourself?

    "Zijing works conscientiously and stays in Yangzhou, so that I can go to war with peace of mind."

    Lu Su had already experienced Liu Ke's eclectic approach, so he accepted it.

    "Thank you, King Dongyang!"

    Liu Ke glanced at Lu Su and smiled knowingly. He was really afraid that Lu Su would dismantle him.

    ¡°I¡¯ll give this gift of clothes to my father-in-law, Cai Yong!¡±

    Cai Yong¡¯s hands trembled, but he still stepped forward to thank him.  But I was still angry, this was just chaos.

    "This is a worthy gift, given to Yuan Zhi!"

    This is a kind of fragrant wine, used for sacrifices and rewards to princes.  The emperor bestowed the gift of hair to commend those who had filial piety.

    Xu Shu was a well-known filial son and the first minister to seek refuge with Liu Ke.

    "One thing from Zhuhu, give it to Zizhong!"

    Zhu Hu pointed to the red-painted gate. The Mi family was one of the four major merchant families. When Liu Ke started his army, his family moved from Xuzhou to Dongyang City, which gave Liu Ke a great help.

    "If you accept something from your Majesty, give it to Gongda!"

    Nabi is a special step. The emperor gives Nabi to commend those who are good at speaking or talented people.

    "A bow and arrow are given to Zilong!"

    Bows and arrows refer to special red and black special bows and arrows.  The emperor gave bows and arrows to commend those who could conquer injustice.

    "An ax and ax are given to you!"

    These are two similar weapons in ancient times, representing punishment and killing.

    "Hu Ben bestows evil upon you!"

    In ancient times, the generals of the imperial guards were called Huben, and the warriors were also called Huben.

    "Le County bestows Fengxiao!"

    Le Xuan refers to a tool for formulating and correcting music.

    Liu Ke rewarded all the so-called "Nine Tins" in one breath, which shocked Hua Xin, Cao Cao and others.

    Is there still such an operation?

    A minister who is hindered by Jiuxi is equivalent to a "vice emperor".

    But what if everyone gets the same one?

    what is this?

    "King Dongyang, this is not in line with etiquette" Hua Xin reminded weakly.

    "What are you talking about? Do you dare to repeat it?" Liu Ke stared at Hua Xin.

    This is Yangzhou, Liu Ke¡¯s territory.

    As an angel, Hua Xin, for the sake of his remaining dignity, bit the bullet and said: "King Dongyang, Jiuxi was given by His Majesty. You cannot give it to others without authorization. This is against etiquette."

    Liu laughed and said: "Since it was given to me by Your Majesty, I have the authority to deal with it. As for etiquette, I ask you, what is the surname of Brother Meng Dexian?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
