Chapter 147 I'm just suggesting you revise the history books 59
Liu Bang looked around the spacious room where he was. He thought to himself that he should have just given his palace to the Han dynasty that day; he could have lived in a side hall himself.
Now it's all different. She has no physical form, so finding her is nowhere near as convenient as before. Once you look for her, she doesn't say a word.
Counting on his fingers, he realized he hadn't seen anyone for several days; less than ten days felt like a year!
"Why are you sighing and groaning? Xiang Yu's army is at the city gates, am I going to die again?"
Liu Bang choked, and his words were tinged with sorrow: "You used the word 'again' so well."
Han gracefully knelt opposite Liu Bang, her head turned to face him at the perfect angle, even her smile was too perfect to be real. Sure enough, she said, "Thank you, that's what I thought too."
The book that says, "If I were to write a book, all other books in the world would not be able to compare with the sales of my book," is a prime example.
After all, books written about gossip always sell more than professional books about real gossip.
She dares to say that she is the best writer among all national spirits, and the best national spirit among all humans.
Regardless of whether he wanted anything from Liu Bang, he flattered him, saying, "Of course, if you were to write a book, neither the Book of Poetry nor the Book of Changes could compare to even a fraction of what you have written."
He was also very curious about what Guo Ling would write, and since it wasn't a big deal, he just asked to satisfy his curiosity.
Liu Bang then realized something was wrong; why was the 'Han' staring at him?
"Ancestors?"
Han explained to him carefully: "Curiosity is something that no one can escape, don't you think?"
Liu Bang nodded. That's true. Even he has moments when he can't control his curiosity, like just now.
"Therefore, writing down some little-known secrets will surely spread widely, and the more bizarre they are, the more curious people will be."
Liu Bang's scalp tingled: "The secret you're referring to, you can't be referring to the secrets of the Han state, can you...?"
"Of course not. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Liu Bang thought about it and realized that probably wasn't the case, but considering her occasional quirky sense of humor, he figured he wouldn't really like the final answer anyway.
"It's just writing down your interesting stories; I'm sure people all over the world would find it very interesting."
In an instant, Liu Bang even remembered the last time he wet the bed as a child. He also heard the demon whisper: "For example, when you were six years old, you thought that if there was an opening near the fish's face, you could breathe underwater, so you yourself..."
"Ancestor!" Liu Bang never expected that old grievances could be brought up back to when he was six years old.
He was so shocked he almost fainted. If Guo Ling were to write it down, it would definitely be official history. If official history was like this, he couldn't even imagine how unofficial history would be.
However, Liu Bang quickly grasped the key point of the strangeness: "So you noticed me when I was six years old, Ancestor."
For some reason, I have this strange feeling that Liu Bang just said, "Why did she lie to me instead of others? She must like me."
'Chinese':……
'Han': "Should I remind you that the world was not yet unified at that time?"
What she meant was that at that time, the area around Pei County was not her territory.
Who knew that Liu Bang, who was used to being shameless, said with a touching expression, "My ancestor risked entering her sacred land just to come and see me."
'Chinese':……
"Liu Bang".
"Ancestor, what's wrong?"
Can I ask you a question?
This was the first time Liu Bang had been asked a question in this phrasing, and he found it quite novel. He even thought it must be because of the name change, proving that one's own ancestors are indeed the best.
"If you ask, Bang will answer to the best of his knowledge."
"Are you deeply in love with a man surnamed Liu?"
Liu Bang: ?
"Ah?" Liu Bang thought about it seriously for a moment, then replied earnestly, "I have no homosexual tendencies. I don't know who gave you such a misconception..."
His ancestors all thought so, and he himself even doubted whether he really liked men.
"Liu Bang".
Liu Bang didn't react immediately: "Bang is here."
I'm talking about you.
Liu Bang thought for a moment before realizing what 'Han' meant, mainly because he had never been treated so sarcastically before.
"Don't be so narcissistic."
Is this Guo Ling's line of thinking?
I understand. He'll start calling people narcissistic from now on too.
Liu Bang coughed, touched his nose, and didn't forget to steer the conversation in the direction he wanted: "I firmly believe in the love and care our ancestors have for their descendants."
"Speak, what is it?"
Liu Bang rubbed his hands together excitedly, but outwardly maintained a respectable demeanor: "It was on the day of the investiture ceremony and sacrifice to Heaven..."
'Han' raised his hand and interrupted him directly: "No way. It's just a title of king. Are you the emperor now? What kind of grandeur do you want?"
Liu Bang looked aggrieved and muttered, "Then you said I was the Second Emperor of Qin, but that didn't come true... the Third Emperor of Qin..." Liu Bang suddenly became serious, "No, Ziying was the King of Qin, not the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Han became interested, a cryptic smile playing on his lips: "If you really want to make it happen, it's not impossible..."
Don't think she can't tell that whispering and loudly plotting are exactly the same thing!
Liu Bang quickly shook his head, fearing that the 'Han' would suggest changing his name back to 'Qin' and then have Ziying abdicate in his favor, making him the third emperor of Qin.
He chuckled and said, "Qin Er Shi is already Hu Hai. How could I possibly become Qin Er Shi? Even if I could abdicate, I could only become Qin San Shi, not Qin Er Shi. If I am not Qin Er Shi, then it cannot be realized."
After his words, Liu Bang was convinced that he could definitely persuade the Han people, or at least that they wouldn't make any dangerous suggestions.
'Han': "Actually, it's not impossible for Qin Er Shi to be the second emperor; it all depends on human effort."
Liu Bang: Suddenly I feel that the phrase "it's up to human effort" doesn't sound so wonderful anymore.
With a serious and sorrowful expression, Liu Bang politely declined, saying, "My name was given to me by my parents, and I dare not change it in this lifetime."
'Han': "I did not ask you to change your name to Huhai."
Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief.
'Han': "I'm just suggesting you revise the history books."
Liu Bang withdrew the word from the top line.
Liu Bang: ?!
Is this something that can be said directly?
As mentioned at the beginning, the more you say "Han," the more natural it sounds: "Now that it hasn't been long since the First Emperor of Qin passed away, you just need to change the years like 'First Year of Qin Er Shi' and 'Second Year of Qin Er Shi' to 'Thirty-Eighth Year of the First Emperor,' 'Thirty-Ninth Year of the First Emperor,' etc., in chronological order..."
"This year is the first year of the Second Emperor of Qin. The Second Emperor of Qin was named Bang, and his surname was Ying.
"Finally, it is announced that you are the biological son of the First Emperor. The First Emperor loved you very much, and you were his favorite child when he was alive. Therefore, he personally wrote a will before his death to pass the throne to you. Remember to write it in the history books as well. Also, remove Huhai from the Qin royal family."
"Tomorrow, you will be the rightful emperor."
Liu Bang was both confused and shocked. After this whole ordeal, even someone as thick-skinned as him had to admit, it was incredibly shameless.
"For you, I'm willing to personally testify that you are the First Emperor's biological son. How about that? Are you moved?"
Liu Bang: Dared not move
"I am deeply moved and grateful to our ancestors for thinking of the country, but I feel that I am not worthy of the surname Ying Qin."
Han was visibly unhappy. Liu Bang had been trying to figure out what Guo Ling was thinking for many years. Although she often did things unpredictably, Liu Bang figured out what was wrong with her after thinking it over.
If a ruler takes the name of his state as his surname, then he can naturally do the same!
It just so happens that he only had a surname but no clan name before, so having multiple clan names is quite good.
“Bang can be called Han!” Although it’s strange to call someone “Han Bang” when you’re out in the world, it’s because his title doesn’t sound like a surname.
Liu Bang observed Han and found that she had returned to calm. This was easy to judge. The temperature around her had dropped sharply, but now it had returned to normal, so she must not be angry anymore.
'Han' simply turned off the air conditioning and said, "So, you dare say I lied to you back then?"
How can you call it deception? She genuinely believed that Hu Hai was a fake Qin Er Shi, while Liu Bang was the real Qin Er Shi.
Now that this matter is settled, it will save this person from bringing up the fact that he didn't become the Second Emperor of Qin from time to time.
Liu Bang: No, no, I'm scared.
He asked that question unnecessarily, wishing he could go back to before the 'Han' came and slap himself for letting you bring up old grievances so easily!
"How could Bang think that way... It's just that spirits and humans think differently. After all, I'm just an ordinary person, so if there's any mistake, it's definitely my fault."
Han agreed, saying, "You have a good sense of self-awareness, that's good."
Liu Bang: TT~TT.
Liu Bang was used to it; she only spoke to him and never spoke to anyone else. How could this not be considered a deep affection and care for her junior?
Liu Bang comforted himself, no matter what she said, she always talked to him the most, and no one in the world was as close to the 'Han' as he was.
Recalling that fleeting glimpse on the street back then, even the First Emperor sat upright in his carriage, not sparing a single glance to his side. If he had seen 'Qin', he certainly wouldn't have acted the same way back then.
Thinking this way, Liu Bang felt even better.
After reflecting on his own CPU, he felt better.
Since he had already been rejected, Liu Bang would not openly mention his previous intention to bring Guo Ling over to create a festive atmosphere for himself, let alone create an auspicious omen.
He was very tactful, which was also an excuse for his previous roundabout invitation: "Although you are unwilling to appear in public, you will go on the day of the State Sacrifice to Heaven, right?"
It's not that the ancestors didn't want to show themselves, but rather that they refused to present auspicious omens. After all, they wanted to invite him again after his ascension to the throne, and they didn't want to block their own path.
