The Three Great Han Dynasties: Awaken Liu Bei with a scolding; you weave mats and sell sandals.

Liu Bei was about to retort when Xu Shu tugged at his sleeve.

The Han Dynasty governed the country based on filial piety.

With the market becoming increasingly crowded, publicly arguing with one's father would do nothing but harm.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Bei feigned remorse, bowed, and said, "Father, I know I was wrong!"

Xu Shu, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward to vouch for Liu Bei, and bowed slightly, saying, "Father, I believe that Xuande will be able to pull back from the brink and correct his mistakes this time."

"Using the Enhanced Qi Observation Technique consumes 1000 points of Luck."

Liu Hong silently recited in his heart.

Name: Xu Shu

Age: Sixteen

[Aura: Gold]

[Destiny: Chivalrous and righteous, a rough gem yet to be fully formed, loyal to the emperor and devoted to the country]

Today's fortune: Excellent; in half an hour, persuade your close friend to return to the right path, and you will achieve great success. Let go of your worries and reconcile.

……

Upon seeing the contents of today's fortune section, Liu Hong's lips curled into a slight smile.

While pleased with himself for adopting Xu Shu as his godson early on, he was also completely relieved about what had happened today.

"Put away straw mats and other miscellaneous items properly, so as not to cause extra trouble for the people in the market."

Liu Hong gave a single instruction, then turned and left without saying anything more.

"Yes, Father."

Soon after, the respectful responses of Liu Bei and Xu Shu's two children came from behind.

It's about luck.

For ordinary people, gray and white are the most common colors.

Gray represents a person with evil intentions and wicked intentions, while black underneath gray represents a person who has already committed a crime. The deeper the black, the more serious the crime.

For ordinary people, above white is yellow fortune, above that is red, and after red comes gold.

Then came cyan and purple.

Liu Hong possesses the Emperor's Panel, and his fortune is undoubtedly a noble and supreme purple.

Surprisingly, there are quite a few people in this small Zhuo County who can achieve the golden fortune.

This situation.

It bears a striking resemblance to the situation of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

……

At the market.

Liu Bei, who was tidying up the haystacks, moved quickly, but still sighed deeply, almost as if he wanted to shout to the heavens: "Ah! Yuanzhi. I, Liu Bei, only want to be a wandering knight-errant, not a scholar."

Xu Shu did not refute this after hearing it. While helping to tidy up the haystack, he slowly and calmly said, "You can become a chivalrous knight even if you have studied, and you can be a better one."

"really?"

Liu Bei was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this, but then a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes. "Yuanzhi, you're not lying to me, are you? Are you saying this on purpose to persuade me to go back to my studies?"

Xu Shu tidied up his straw mat and asked with a slight smile a question that was crucial to Liu Bei: "Xuande, do you want to lead a hundred wandering knights, a thousand, or even ten thousand or a hundred thousand?"

Young people don't listen to much of the wisdom and advice from their elders, but it's a different story when it comes to their peers.

So, after only a moment's thought, Liu Bei raised his chin and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, the more the better, the more the merrier."

"As expected of Brother Xuande, you truly have great ambitions."

Xu Shu praised.

"Of course. I'm going to be the leader of 100,000 wandering knights."

Liu Bei patted his chest, making a loud thud, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

But I have never seen it.

Xu Shu, who had bent down to pick up the haystack and turned around, revealed a smug smile on his face.

"and then?"

Suddenly, Xu Shu asked again.

"And then what?"

Liu Bei pursed his lips, bent down and continued tidying up the haystack on his side, his tone full of confusion.

"Is this what happens after Xuande commands 100,000 wandering knights?"

Xu Shu said.

He was just chatting idly.

Available in the next moment!

But then, a look of light, never before seen on his close friend Liu Bei's face, suddenly appeared, as if it were the light of faith that his adoptive father had once spoken of, shining exceptionally brightly.

What is faith?

It is a great cause that one can strive for throughout one's life!

"To save the world! I, Liu Bei, will be the one seen by the people..."

"A great hero!"

"One day, all the people of my great Han dynasty will be filled with laughter and joy!"

Such aspirations...

Xu Shu was taken aback.

He truly deserves to be called his adoptive father's son...

……

Gradually, the two boys carrying haystacks disappeared into the distance.

In front of a butcher shop in the market, Butcher Zhang overheard the entire conversation and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Before he could utter a word of reflection, a burly man selling dates passed by beside him.

The man wore a green hat, stroked his long beard, and had a face that was slightly redder than the average person's.

Suddenly he spoke up: "My son is so brave and brave, truly a dragon among men. Does he really want to follow in his father's footsteps, a mediocre man, and live a life of mediocrity as an ordinary citizen?"

Suddenly, Butcher Zhang looked up.

Someone voiced his true feelings.

then……

The two locked eyes, a strange light flashing in each of them.

……

The Liu family in Zhuoxian County is located in a bustling area.

The vermilion gate opened slightly, and the servants on both sides bowed respectfully.

"Master!"

Stepping into the residence, one is greeted by a magnificent sight: green bricks and gray tiles, high pavilions and towers, flying eaves and upturned corners, with pavilions and waterside terraces dotting the landscape, and artificial hills and flowing water complementing each other, all contributing to the grandeur of the Liu family mansion.

Stepping into the study, the surroundings were antique and elegant. Liu Hong twitched his nostrils as a burst of burning musk filled his nasal cavity, making him feel refreshed and relaxed.

Liu Hong calmed himself down and mentally called upon the system.

As the panel opens, past task records also come into view:

[Task 1: As the emperor, the imperial palace should be magnificent and imposing. Status: Completed. Reward: Daily Luck +1000, Daily Money +1000]

[Task Two: As Emperor, how can you be without protectors? Please assemble a fully obedient and loyal palace guard within three days. Status: Completed. Reward: Daily Luck +1000, Daily Money +1000]

[Task 3: A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, nor can it be without an empress for a day. Please appoint the concubines as empresses as soon as possible to stabilize the country's fortunes and ensure the continuation of the imperial line.]

Status: Completed. Rewards: Daily Luck +10000, Daily Money +10000

According to Liu Hong's research, luck plays a significant role.

Based solely on his currently incompletely activated authority, the effects of his fortune can be divided into two main categories: one is the practical art of observing qi, which allows one to observe the fate of others and their current fortune; the other is the ability to bestow titles upon living beings, making their fates noble.

For example, Empress Wu, the reigning empress, is listed on his emperor's panel.

Previous panel information:

Name: Wu

Age: 27

[Aura: Pale Yellow]

[Destiny: A life of humble origins, a solitary star destined for greatness, yet destined to become an emperor, burning brightly within oneself]

But now, things are completely different.

"My husband!"

A clear and gentle female voice came from outside the study.

Liu Hong responded softly and looked in the direction of the sound.

A voluptuous and beautiful woman walked gracefully towards them.

The beautiful woman wore a crimson brocade dress with cloud patterns, her black hair was styled into a high, cloud-like bun, her earrings were adorned with bright moon earrings, her waist was tied with a red gold glass bracelet, and her wrist was adorned with a pair of jade bracelets with interspersed lapis lazuli and agate, which made her fair skin appear even more like snow.

She was Wu, the wife of Liu Hong and mother of Liu Bei, and the current mistress of the Liu family mansion.

Wu's bulging chest rose and fell gently with her steps, and a white jade pendant hung from her neck, falling perfectly between her deep cleavage.

Liu Hong reluctantly looked away, the information displayed on her screen flashing through her mind:

Name: Wu

Age: 27

[Fortune: Red]

[Destiny Chart: Auspicious for wealth and nobility, with a stable foundation, a supportive wife and mother, upholding family honor, and bringing blessings and longevity to future generations.]

Wu's good fortune was due to her husband Liu Hong's imperial destiny and her son Liu Bei's potential to become a dragon.

After all, the system could only appoint Liu Hong as the supreme ruler, the emperor.

His title of Empress was merely a hollow honor when the dynasty was not yet secure.

Although it is possible to forcibly activate all of the Empress's destinies, the amount of luck consumed is beyond what Liu Hong can currently sustain.

"The reeds are green and lush, the white dew is like frost. The one I long for is on the other side of the water."

"It's been a long time since I've seen you; you've grown even more beautiful."
