Xun Yu did not tell anyone his thoughts, but Liu Xuan was able to notice that Mr. Xun Wenruo was not as lifeless and uninterested in anything as he had been a while ago.

It is estimated that what he said made Xun Yu understand something, and at the same time he had expectations for what will happen in the future. Want to watch the excitement?

"No matter what he thinks, Xun Yu will not be out of my control for the time being!"

As long as Xun Yu does not leave the court, then Liu Xuan may completely bring him under his command and make suggestions for himself.

In fact, it is not surprising that Liu Xuan attaches so much importance to a talent. It is actually because his current status fundamentally restricts his recruitment of talents.

Because he is the emperor, he can't just run outside the palace, so he can't take the initiative to contact those heroes scattered all over the world.

At the same time, because of his status as the emperor, he cannot promote and appoint people he values ​​​​like those princes and heroes - to put it bluntly, the official positions Liu Xuan holds are too high-end, and there is no way to directly appoint some people who are not even white.

People promoted to such a high position - Guan Yu and Dian Wei are fugitives, worse than Bai Shen.

The people he can promote and appoint are basically people who have already entered the court system. It is not easy to find available people among these people. That's why he paid so much attention to Xun Yu after he discovered it - no matter what,

Xun Yu solved his problem of advisers, and he would have someone to help him with whatever problems he encountered in the future.

What made Liu Xuan happy the most was that Xun Yu was by his side and he could ask questions at any time. This made him happy the most.

However, at this time, he did not go to discuss with Xun Yu what should be done in the future. Instead, he sat in his bedroom, looking at the woman in front of him and having a headache.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a girl than a woman. When the girl saw Liu Xuan coming in, she immediately bowed and said: "My concubine, Cai Yan, pay homage to your majesty!"

The emperor's wedding is a very important event. Even the three princes and nine ministers have to be busy, such as choosing auspicious days, and then giving amnesty to the world, etc., and the etiquette is also extremely complicated. In a normal year, it is not unusual to be busy for a whole year.

.

But now that the Han Dynasty is declining, the world is in chaos, and powerful ministers are controlling the government, none of the ministers have such thoughts, and Liu Xuan doesn't like too much trouble, so the matter of the emperor's wedding was dealt with hastily.

.

Although all the necessary steps were in place, things were always a little hasty and were not even announced to the world. Only the princes in the court knew that the emperor had accepted the daughter of Cai Yong, the minister, as his concubine, and even had the intention of making her his concubine.

In the imperial harem of the Han Dynasty, the hierarchy of concubines was very simple. Especially during the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were only three levels left: empress, noble lady and beauties.

Among them, not to mention the queen, the noble is a serious emperor's concubine, enjoying many benefits and receiving a monthly salary, while the beauty has nothing and can only hope to please the emperor more and get more rewards and so on.

Cai Yan entered the palace and was now named a nobleman, but Liu Xuan had no intention of paying attention to that at the moment. He was right there, looking at the woman who was about to become his wife unscrupulously.

"Before time travel, I was just a loser. After time travel, I was busy cultivating and expanding my empire. I didn't put much thought into the matter of men and women. Now that I think about it, Cai Yan is actually the first man I've ever married.

Wife."

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little sad, especially when I see Cai Yan, who is just a young girl, the feeling of sadness in my heart becomes even stronger.

"How old are you this year?"

"I am sixteen this year."

sixteen?

Isn't this the legendary age of twenty-eight years? Liu Xuan did some calculations and found that Cai Yan should have been born in 174. According to Liu Xuan's habits, he should be fifteen years old at this time. But at this time, it is customary to count the age as false.

Exactly sixteen.

"This... is a bit small, I can't get rid of it!"

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and Liu Xuan had no choice but to bring up a random topic to divert his attention: "Do you have any words?"

"My concubine is named Wen Ji!"

Liu Xuan naturally knew that Cai Yan was called Wenji, and later generations also called her Cai Wenji. Although he knew that Cai Yan in history should be called Zhaoji. Later, when compiling history, he changed it to Wenji to avoid Sima Zhao's taboo. But who let it happen?

Is this world more historical? Naturally, it’s not like that.

Relatively speechless, Liu Xuan found that he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only say: "It's getting late, let's have a rest."

Then Cai Yan's face turned red, he bowed his head in response, then very gently helped Liu Xuan take off his clothes, and finally they lay down on the dragon couch together.

This night... nothing happened.

Liu Xuan got up early the next day, washed up and had breakfast as usual, then took Zhang Rang and Cao Bao to the court on time to watch Dong Zhuo's performance in the court hall, and finally dismissed the court on time and dispersed in the palace.

Take a walk and start dealing with some government affairs.

The days passed so dullly, and soon the second year of Yonghan arrived. On the first day after the New Year, Liu Xuan suddenly said: "This year has finally arrived!"

At that time, only Xun Yu was around. Hearing this, he asked curiously: "Why did your Majesty say this?"

Liu Xuan put down the memorial he was looking at and said with a smile: "Since last autumn, Dong Zhuo's actions have spread throughout the world. In addition, I have done almost nothing since I came to the throne. All the heroes in the world should think that I am controlled by Dong Zhuo.

It’s in hand.”

When Xun Yu heard this, he immediately realized: "Dong Zhuo is monopolizing power, and all the heroes in the world are dissatisfied. In this case, these 'princes' outside may have to make big moves to fight for their own interests."

The so-called siding with the Qing emperor and supporting the Han Dynasty are just excuses. What these heroes really care about is that if they lead troops into the capital Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo, then Dong Zhuo's current status is not what they will get?

Of course, it cannot be said that all heroes think this way, but it is almost inevitable to want to gain some benefits for themselves.

Liu Xuan was not ready to wait any longer. After all, without Cao Cao assassinating Dong Zhuo and escaping back to his hometown, and then raising a rebel army to issue a proclamation calling on all the heroes in the world, when would those heroes with their own thoughts get in touch?

Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative.

"Did your Majesty make any arrangements?" Xun Yu thought for a while and finally asked out of curiosity. Of course, only by understanding the details could he make more detailed inferences. Since the emperor wanted to use himself as an adviser, he should at least

You have to let yourself know the details of the current situation.

Liu Xuan naturally did not hide it from him and said directly: "Yesterday, I sent Meng De to Lu Ziqian's house and asked Lu Ziqian to write a letter to someone."

"Someone?" Xun Yu didn't pay attention to the content of the letter, nor did he care why Liu Xuan thought of looking for Lu Zhi. Instead, he was curious about who Lu Zhi wrote to.

"Could it be Bohai Yuan Shao?"

Now that Yuan Shao is the governor of Bohai, he has brought peace to the area, recruits talented people, and has a large army at his disposal. If Liu Xuan wants foreign ministers to lead troops to attack Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao seems to be the best choice - not to mention the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family.

Fame was given by the Han Dynasty. Even if you make some gestures, you cannot refuse the emperor's secret edict.

After all, Yuan Shao at this time was not yet the number one prince in the north who later controlled the four states of Hebei and had millions of soldiers. The emperor's secret edicts still needed to be obeyed.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xuan shook his head directly, and then said: "I heard that Lu Zhi had a disciple, his surname was Liu, his name was Bei, and his name was Xuande. He claimed to be a Han Dynasty. He had made many military exploits when the Yellow Turbans were raging in the past few years. Now he is the shepherd of Yizhou, Liu Yan and You.

The governors of the prefecture, Liu Yu, wrote letters to express their merits. Later, he was protected by Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, and he is now appointed as the magistrate of Pingyuan County."

Liu Xuan briefly explained Liu Bei's situation and then excused it as knowing it from Cao Cao, which naturally would not arouse anyone's suspicion. Besides, he did talk about Liu Bei when he was chatting with Cao Cao.

At that time, Cao Cao had a high opinion of Liu Bei and believed that this person would definitely do great things in the future. As for the so-called Han family clan status, no one cared much about it.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty by the great ancestor Liu Bang, the descendants of the Liu family have been called the most fertile group in all dynasties. Liu Bei's ancestor Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan, alone, gave birth to a full 120 sons.

Although others are not as exaggerated as Liu Sheng, they are still young. It is said that during the peak period of the Han Dynasty, everyone with the surname Liu was related to the royal family. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the surname is Liu, you can do anything.

Have something to do with the Han clan clan.

The key question is whether you are a member of the Han family. It doesn’t mean you say it yourself or that you really have that bloodline. The most important point is whether the emperor admits this?

If the emperor admits it, even if your ancestor really has nothing to do with the royal family, he can find some connection for you - anyway, the descendants of the Liu family are all over the world. If you search carefully, you will definitely find someone who matches someone's ancestor. This relationship is not

Just put it on directly?

If the emperor does not admit it, it will be useless even if you recite the genealogy. Anyway, according to the customs at that time, your relative is far away from the family, so no one will think it is wrong even if you deny it.

Liu Bei's situation is similar. He may indeed be a Han clan clan member, but without the emperor's recognition, this Han clan clan identity can only be talked about - it's fine if others take it seriously, but there's nothing you can do if the other party ignores it.

.

A typical example is that Liu Yan took Liu Bei seriously, so he was polite to Liu Bei. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Yan wanted to use Liu Bei as a gunman at the time, so he deliberately tried to get closer to Liu Bei and gave Liu Bei a better look.

Lu Zhi didn't take it seriously. He had been in the court for a long time and the emperor saw him every day. It was really difficult for him to take Liu Bei's distant relatives to heart.

Later, if Liu Bei hadn't brought his soldiers and horses to help Lu Zhi in the battle, Lu Zhi probably would never have remembered that he taught a student named Liu Bei.

But even so, Lu Zhi still didn't take Liu Bei too seriously, so when Cao Cao came to the door and mentioned Liu Bei as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Zhi was confused and didn't understand what Cao Cao meant?

"Dong Zhuo is now in power and very domineering. He wants to call on all the heroes in the world to raise an army to attack Dong Zhuo. However, he is in the capital and has to protect his majesty. It is difficult to do anything. He has to have someone outside to issue a message against the thieves."
