Xun You and Xun Gongda, from Yingchuan, are members of the famous Xun family today. Liu Xuan didn't find any surprise in these things. What surprised him was the person in front of him.

When Zhang Rang told himself that at present, in the palace, in addition to Xun You and Xun Gongda who were serving as the Huangmen Minister, the Xun family also had a talented person serving as the palace guard in the palace - this position was closer to the emperor than the Huangmen Minister, and the responsible person

It was in charge of the pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other items used by the emperor. When the emperor was handling official business, the palace guard would also stand by and his duties were somewhat similar to those of later generations of secretaries.

At this time, Liu Xuan was sitting there, looking at the good-looking young man in front of him, who was about twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old, placing all the things neatly there.

"I heard that Wenruo was elected as Xiaolian at the beginning of this year and entered the palace as the guardian of the palace!"

When the emperor inquired, how many dared not to answer? The young man opposite also said respectfully: "Yes! I have been in the palace for more than half a year."

In fact, according to Liu Xuan's previous understanding, he always felt that the people who could serve around him in the imperial city were all eunuchs. Even after living in the Han Dynasty for a long time, this understanding was not completely overturned.

Because of this, he almost missed such a great sage.

Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo were the clan uncles of Xun You, the minister of Huangmen, but they were a few years younger than Xun You. However, they had great talents and later became one of the most important advisers under Cao Cao.

If Xun You missed him, he wouldn't feel anything wrong, but if he missed Xun Yu, it would be too depressing. The most important thing is that he was so close and he almost didn't notice it.

This is actually no wonder Liu Xuan. He knew about the late Han Dynasty mostly through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and later read some Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms and some unofficial histories. It was impossible to check all the experiences of everyone in such detail. This Xun Yu served in the palace.

If they hadn't gone out of their way to find out, I'm afraid not many people would know about it.

However, after Liu Xuan met Xun Yu, he quickly realized that this Xun Yu would soon resign and return to his hometown, and it was not until he came to Cao Cao's account that he finally stabilized.

This person is one of those who can clearly see the general trend of the world and knows that the Han Dynasty is about to perish. Now Liu Xuan is still developing his own power in a low-key and secret manner, so on the surface, his situation is similar to that of Liu Xie who sat on the throne in history.

, the difference is not big.

In addition, Liu Xuan hopes that the world will be in chaos and is preparing to attack the wealthy families... Isn't it someone like the Xun family of Yingchuan?

This seems to mean that the two sides have been on opposite sides from the beginning.

Of course, as long as Liu Xuan is willing to give a certain commitment, these wealthy people will not be stupid enough to go against the imperial court. The only headache is how to control this degree?

He picked up a few books at random and read them. Liu Xuan's mind was always troubled by these messy things. As for the matter of recruiting Huangfu Shoujian as the commander of the Huben Army, he could just leave it to Mr. Xun Wenruo in front of him.

He only had to wait for Xun Yu to finish writing the edict, and then read it over. If there were no problems, he could stamp it with the emperor's seal.

When talking about the Emperor's Seal, Liu Xuan remembered that the jade seal had disappeared since the Shi Changshi Rebellion. He had never seen it after he ascended the throne. According to the memory in his mind, it should have been hidden by a palace maid, and then

They fell into the well together again.

But this imperial city is so big, there are many wells. Who knows which well it is?

Of course, if Liu Xuan could still use magic, it wouldn't be troublesome to find a jade seal. However, Liu Xuan's cultivation had just entered an embarrassing stage. The dragon egg contained all the dragon energy in his body, and he couldn't do anything.

, even if he has all kinds of means, it's all in vain if he doesn't have the skills to use them.

"Forget it, anyway, that jade seal will be related to that idiot Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor in the future, so just throw it away like that!"

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, directly destroying the reputation that the Yuan family had accumulated for generations. From the top wealthy family in the Han Dynasty to a rebellious traitor who could not be tolerated in the world, after that, the Yuan family began to have all kinds of bad luck -

- No nobles in the world are willing to help the Yuan family anymore. The destruction of the Yuan family is not unrelated to Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor.

If we use a saying that Liu Xuan is more familiar with, it is: As soon as Yuan Shu became emperor, the character of the Yuan family was completely ruined, so the Yuan family suffered a tragedy.

He also hoped that Yuan Shu would continue on this path. Anyway, as long as Yuan Jiujiu became emperor and all the princes were wiped out, he could justifiably issue an edict to ask those who got the jade seal to be sent to the palace - at that time, the jade seal was a hot potato.

, no one dares to put it in their hands, so Liu Xuan can definitely get it back.

"Since it will definitely come back to me, there's no rush!"

The absence of the jade seal seems to be a blow to the emperor's majesty, but in this way, Dong Fei's arrogance can be fueled. If he doesn't cause anger and resentment, how can the next thing happen?

After much deliberation, he put the matter aside for the time being. Xun Yu happened to have written the imperial edict, and after Liu Xuan looked at it and saw that there were no problems, he directly ordered someone to issue an imperial edict to recruit the emperor Shou Jian.

He estimated that by this time Cao Cao had gone to talk to Dong Zhuo. Since he had not come to the palace, it was no problem. Then Liu Xuan took care of some trivial matters one by one. It was already getting late, so he got up and did some simple activities.

After a while, Liu Xuan happened to see Xun You coming in and reported the closing of the palace gate as usual.

"Xun You, Xun Yu!"

Looking at the two members of the Xun family, Liu Xuan suddenly realized: "If it is obvious to suppress the gentry from the beginning, then there will definitely be a strong backlash. Why not win over some of them first?"

While thinking about it, he walked to the palace. The first day of his ascension to the throne of God passed by in a blur.

In the following period, Liu Xuan did not do anything special. He went to court honestly all day long. Dong Zhuo basically decided all the big and small matters. However, Liu Xuan also adhered to the bottom line, especially that

The Yulin Army, no matter what Dong Zhuo tried, could not put his hand in.

Under normal circumstances, Dong Zhuo would have realized something was wrong, but Cao Cao had been very close to Dong Zhuo during this period, which gave Dong Zhuo the illusion that he was so powerful that even Cao Cao, who had soldiers and horses, needed to take the initiative against him.

It’s time to show good intentions!

Therefore, he put aside the matter of the Yulin Army for the time being, and began to feel that the Yulin Army was basically in his pocket.

Of course, his subordinates often came to report, and the emperor often took people to the Yulin Army's station to check, but Dong Zhuo still didn't take it seriously.

The key reason is that every time Liu Xuan went there, he would ask Lu Bu to take Huben to guard him, and then go to the Yulin Army without any hesitation.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. On this morning, Liu Xuan personally appointed Dong Zhuo as the prime minister of the country. He was allowed to pay homage without being named, to enter the court without following, and to go to the palace with swords and shoes. (These treatments are as follows: when ministers pay homage to the emperor)

, the ceremonial officer did not report his name, but only called his official position, which was regarded as a kind of courtesy; at the same time, there was no need to walk in a hurry when going to court; lastly, in the Han Dynasty, when going to court, you actually had to take off your shoes and enter the palace, and you were not allowed to hold them

Those who carry weapons and receive this courtesy do not need to abide by these two regulations).

In fact, Dong Zhuo has been showing these trends in the past few days. He went to court as casually as if he were in his own backyard. Liu Xuan also understood that Dong Zhuo's arrogance had reached a certain level, so he didn't mind adding more firewood and simply gave it to him.

He received so much treatment.

Of course, in the eyes of the ministers, all of Liu Xuan's rewards were out of coercion, especially the name of the Prime Minister. In the four hundred years since the Han Dynasty was established, how had there ever been a Prime Minister?

As for authority? It seems to overlap with Situ’s authority?

So after the court broke up that morning, Wang Yun's face was as ugly as the bottom of a pot. He didn't talk to anyone he knew well after the court was over, and went straight back to his Situ Mansion.

Liu Xuan didn't know if Wang Situ would plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo again after returning home, but he really didn't want this group of people to make such a fuss at this time, just to scare the snake away.

After thinking for a while, he left Dong Zhuo behind before leaving the court, and said specifically: "Today I want to visit the Huben camp. Would the Prime Minister be willing to go with me?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, the boss was not happy.

As his power grew stronger, although he had already dominated the court, his status was always lower than that of the emperor, so he tried his best to avoid meeting Liu Xuan.

Are you going to travel alone with Liu Xuan today? He must die of depression?

After thinking about it, he dismissed the fact that there were many affairs in the palace and needed to go back to deal with them as soon as possible, so he only asked Lu Bu to accompany the emperor.

"It's best not to go!"

Liu Xuan didn't want Dong Zhuo to go with him. He wanted to see the Tiger Army today. In fact, he wanted to see the generals under Lu Bu's tent.

He had always wanted to win over Lu Bu. In addition to Lu Bu's superior military strength and ability to lead troops, Lu Bu also had several useful talents under his command.

After all, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who would become one of the five great generals of the Wei Kingdom, were now serving under him. Apart from anything else, this one was worthy of his efforts to win over.

Thinking of this, I wanted to go and have a look at the Huben Army under Lu Bu's command. Even if I couldn't poach him in front of him, I would at least get to know him first.

His men prepared their chariots and horses, and Xun You, Xun Yu and other close ministers were expected to accompany them. The tiger Benlang under Lu Bu's tent was in front to clear the way. Liu Xuan specially called Cao Cao and brought some Yulin cavalry to guard both sides. Liu Xuan

After taking a special look, I saw that the general leading the army was wearing a copper-colored battle armor, carrying a broadsword, and there were arrow pots and long bows hanging on both sides of the horse. I guessed that this was the talented Xiahou who was good at shooting.

After looking around, he didn't say anything. He just quietly observed Huben and Yu Lin beside him. Among them, Yu Lin was equivalent to the newly established army. Most of the soldiers were new recruits, while Huben used his old squad and Lu Bu.

The soldiers and horses from Bingzhou that he originally brought were mixed together, and the difference between the two armies can be seen at a glance.

Today's Yulin is far behind Hu Ben. If he were to be dragged out for a fight, Yulin would probably be completely wiped out. However, Liu Xuan is confident that as long as he is given enough time, the Yulin army will have strong combat power sooner or later.

, becoming one of the strongest blades in his hand.

Thinking all the way, they soon arrived at the Huben Army's camp. Everyone was able to stand still and noticed a group of soldiers gathered in the camp. It turned out that a general was firing his bow and arrows, facing a distance of a hundred paces.

He shot an arrow from the grass target outside and hit the red heart on the target. When the soldiers around him saw it, they cheered loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of Liu Xuan and others.
