Liu Xie's attitude of inquiry was very sincere, his behavior was humble and his tone was gentle. Although he was still young, it was hard to imagine that an emperor could do this to his subjects.

This is no longer a simple courtesy of the wise and polite. It is really humble and can’t be more humble.

Liu Qi sighed with emotion, then bowed to Liu Xie and said, "Is Your Majesty full? There are some things that are not in a hurry. When Your Majesty has finished the meal, it will be not too late for me to plan for Your Majesty."

If it were an adult, how could he feel like having a meal? But Liu Xie was just a child after all. Even if he was old, he was still a child who had not grown up in his bones.

"Okay, then wait for the emperor to wait for a while and wait until I finish the meat."

Liu Qi smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay."

When Liu Xie finished the meal, Liu Qi ordered people to take the Pitu into the tent and hang it, and then ordered the others to go out.

"Now, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both in Guanzhong. Although they are nominally Han ministers, they are both heroes. Both of them are from family members and have a lot of resources. Now they dominate the other side. Although they cannot see the intention of being disobedient for the time being, if they are willing to contribute to Your Majesty and devote themselves to the court, I do not believe it. What I am worried about is that if Your Majesty goes to Jingzhou with me, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will not be compatible for their own interests. At that time, both of you and Your Majesty will face danger. Therefore, for the current plan, Your Majesty can only make sense with you in Luoyang and the two of you on the scene. Moreover, Luoyang is closer to the territory of the two, they will feel at ease, but if Your Majesty goes to Jingzhou, I am afraid..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi looked at Liu Xie: "I also want to take Your Majesty back to Jingzhou, but it is too dangerous to act like this. For the sake of Your Majesty's safety, I can only keep a distance from Your Majesty."

Although Liu Xie is a child, he is still quite sensible.

Moreover, his thinking was quite quick. After listening to Liu Qi's remarks, he knew that Liu Qi's words were reasonable and said, "Although I am unwilling to accept it, the world is not good. There are too many people who are disobedient, so I can only do this."

Liu Qi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, everything is not decided in Guandong now. Qingzhou has Gongsun Zan, Youzhou has Grand Sima and Liu Xuande, both of which are strong enemies of Yuan Benchu. Tao Qian from Xuzhou and Yuan Shu from Huainan are also eyeing Yanzhou. Yuan and Cao dare not stay in Guanzhong for a long time. As long as Your Majesty returns to Luoyang, they will temporarily withdraw when they see nothing in the West. They think they won't attack His Majesty within a few years."

Liu Xie sighed and said, "It's a pity that the king and his subjects are not one mind, they all need to make such a calculation."

Liu Qi said seriously: "Your Majesty, after returning to Luoyang, you will lie on firewood and taste gall, and accumulate strength with all your energy. When the world changes in the future, it will not be too late to plan."

Liu Xie narrowed his eyes, stared at the map carefully, and said quietly: "It's just that Luoyang is all among many forces. Can I really accomplish great things here?"

Liu Qi said seriously: "Your Majesty, please see... Luoyang is in the middle of the terrain, and the mountains are erected. Since Guangwu, we have had a foundation of two hundred years. Our great Han Dynasty has been in the past. The kingly spirit here is prosperous, making it easier to control the world. Wang Situ and Lu Bu are also his assistants. Your Majesty only needs to work hard to govern for a few years, and he will surely achieve great achievements in the future."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi said again: "I stationed troops in Xinye, and it will take not long to conquer Wancheng. I will occupy Nanyang County for Your Majesty. On the day I take Wancheng, I will be close to you... Luoyang is about 150 miles away from Wancheng. If you use a cavalry to travel quickly, you can arrive in the morning and evening. Even if you can reach a large group of people within three or five days, you can reach it. Although I am not by Your Majesty, you can raise troops to protect Your Majesty at any time. Your Majesty can rest assured."

Liu Xie nodded as if he had some understanding and asked again: "I understand what my brother said...but I still have a little concern, so please answer it for me."

"Your Majesty, I will definitely know everything."

"I am still young and have no military power in my hands. I am afraid that over time, I will be undermined by Wang Yun and Lu Bu... or others."

Liu Qi said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have thought about this... Your Majesty arrived at Meiwu the next day and summoned Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Wang Yun, Lu Bu and other ministers. In front of everyone, he pardoned the thieves in Liangzhou, including Li Jue, Guo Si, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and other thieves in Liangzhou."

"Pardon them?" Liu Xie was shocked when he heard this: "These fierce and stubborn people are all those who aid the evil, how can they pardon them?"

Liu Qi said, "Your Majesty, listen carefully to me. The thieves in Xiliang have always been disgusted by Wang Yun and other gentry officials. If Your Majesty pardons them, they will be equivalent to a confidant problem in the west of Wang Yun and others. They guard against each other and restrain each other, and they will often cause trouble for Wang Yun outside. If Wang Yun's attention is in the West, he will not be disobedient towards Your Majesty, because only Your Majesty is the emperor and the orthodox world. Your Majesty has the power to arbitrarily designate who is the minister of the dragon and who is the rebellion. If Wang Yun has the enemy outside, he must rely on Your Majesty."

After a pause, Liu Qi said again: "Lu Bu has always been incompatible with the generals of Liangzhou. If those Liangzhou warlords are like tigers, Lu Bu will be under pressure. If he is under pressure, he will be willing to be used by Your Majesty... Your Majesty, only when they feel threatened by the enemy at all times will they know the importance of Your Majesty. If there is no threat, then they may have all their thoughts on Your Majesty. Does Your Majesty think this is the truth?"

Although Liu Qi was talking about power struggles, for some reason, Liu Xie felt warm in his heart after hearing this.

From childhood to adulthood, only when Empress Dowager Dong was alive, he taught some of his power and strategies for the emperor. After Empress Dowager Dong died, everyone told Liu Xie that they were just some high-sounding principles, and no one really considered him.

After several years, when Liu Xie heard such remarks that he was willing to design the future for himself again, he suddenly recalled the year when Empress Dowager Dong was alive... How could this not touch this twelve-year-old child?

"I feel very relieved to me by brother." Liu Xie said with emotion: "Everything depends on what my brother said."

Liu Qi also said: "In addition, in addition to Lu Bu, Huangfu Yizhen and Zhu Gongwei in the past were all the important generals of the court. Your Majesty should recruit them. One way to expand the power in the court, and the other way to not allow all military power to be given to one person."

Liu Xie said in a touching voice: "I understand!"

...

Four days later, Liu Qi received news that Lu Bu had surrendered the former Bingzhou Army's former former subordinates, and Wang Yun also sent people to send letters to court officials fled to Guandong, inviting them to return, welcome the emperor to return to the capital Luoyang and rebuild the court.

Liu Qi immediately escorted Liu Xie to Meiwu to meet Wang Yun and Lu Bu.

After Yuan Shao and Cao Cao drove out the Xiliang soldiers in the territory, they also went to the Jinwu to face the Saint.

At this point, Liu Qi finally met several big shots who had been interacting with each other in the letters.

Cao Cao met him one time back then, but this time it was not considered the first meeting.

Lu Bu once confronted him on the battlefield, but he was far apart and could not see it clearly. This time he saw a real person...

He is tall and mighty, with a hard face, a hard and angular face, and a rough appearance, which is quite different from Lu Bu who watched TV series later in the future.

Yuan Shao...Liu Qi was also the first time he saw... a handsome middle-aged uncle, very stylish, and his every move showed his elegance and calmness. At first glance, he was the kind of natural leader type.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Qi... The storm meets in the place of Meiwu.

After each party arranged to station troops, they all led their own elite guards to meet in a large tent set up outside the dock.

Under Wang Yun's arrangement, the emperor went to the Meiwu to take a bath and rest.

The four heroes, Yuan, Cao, Lu and Liu, met first, and became familiar with each other.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were all in the alliance and sat on the same side.

Lu Bu and Liu Qi each sat on the other side.

The four people looked at each other, with expressions on their faces either a slight smile or a serious one, but no one spoke first, as if they were guessing each other.

After all, everyone is both enemies and friends, and no one can tell what their own routine is.

However, in the end, Liu Qi took the lead in breaking the embarrassing deadlock in the field.

"Liu Qi has long admired the three great names, and is well-known. I feel honored to meet here today. Before Liu Qi comes here, he specially prepared a gift for the three of them, and asked them to accept it."
