Chapter 41 Reputation is false

In the days that followed, everything went smoothly. Liu Xuan and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty used Lu Bu's power to successfully open the gate of Tongguan. Then, while opening the door, the general guarding the gate was stabbed to death by Lu Bu.

The rest of the soldiers were stunned into silence at that time, giving Lu Bu enough time to allow the Tiger Guards under his command to take control of the entire Tongguan in the shortest possible time.

With Tongguan in hand, Liu Xuan and others became much more relaxed. Although the following time was not enough to squander at will, without the threat of being stabbed from behind at any time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could also grow up.

After arriving in Chang'an, he used the same trick to open the city gate and enter the city.

It's just that this time it's a little more troublesome. After all, Chang'an is also an important city, and it was the original capital of the Han Dynasty. The huge city means that there are a lot of troops stationed there. If you don't have a suitable opportunity, if you attack casually, even if you enter Chang'an, you will be unavoidable later.

A lot of trouble.

Lu Bu wanted to do the same thing again, just open the city gate and kill the guard directly. Then the city would be leaderless, and Lu Bu could take the opportunity to recruit more soldiers.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao didn't let him succeed this time. He just told him not to be reckless, and then moved a large group of people into Chang'an. After taking up residence in Chang'an, he launched an uprising.

That night, the people in the entire city of Chang'an closed their doors tightly, not even daring to open a crack to take a peek. The shouts of death rang out all night long. Naturally, no one could have a good rest under such circumstances.

Even Liu Xuan sat there all night that night, but looking at Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Yuan Wei and others beside him, Liu Xuan felt that he was much calmer than them.

Look at the princes of the Manchu Dynasty. Everyone who has some martial arts is wearing armor and carrying a sword. Even the scribes such as Wang Yun, Yuan Wei, Cai Yong, etc., although they are not wearing armor, they still have long swords hanging on their waists. I guess when the situation is not right.

, these people will also pick up the guy and rush forward to fight with others.

It's a pity that Cao Cao and Lu Bu didn't give these people any chance to show off. The long sword in Liu Xuan's hand just sat aside all night, without even a chance to unsheath it, because as soon as the day broke, Lu Bu was the first to arrive, only to

He said: "The city is completely peaceful, but Zhang Xiu, the general who was originally stationed in Chang'an, escaped from Chang'an in the melee and is now missing."

"Zhang Xiu?"

Liu Xuan really didn't expect that the guard of Chang'an was actually Zhang Xiu. He only knew that the person in charge of Chang'an was a little-known figure - at least Liu Xuan had never heard of that person's name. It turned out that the soldiers and horses in the city were commanded by another Zhang Xiu.

This person is considered a talent. I couldn't recruit him and I couldn't get rid of him today. I don't know if he will cause some trouble to me in the future.

Liu Xuan thought about it and put the matter aside, and then asked the princes of the Manchu Dynasty to disperse, and at the same time made arrangements for him to enter the Chang'an Palace and other matters.

He didn't need to worry about these trivial matters, but many palaces in Chang'an were in disrepair. Not only were they slightly dilapidated, but they also accumulated a lot of dust and needed a good cleaning before they could occupy them.

By the time everything was finished, several more days had passed. During these days, the entire imperial court was overwhelmed with government affairs, but Liu Xuandi ignored them all and just concentrated on practicing these days.

It is not surprising that the dragon energy in Chang'an has remained in ancient times. The strange thing is that unlike the decayed dragon energy in Luoyang, the dragon energy in Chang'an shows a nascent appearance. Liu Xuan vaguely felt that it was during the founding period of the Han Dynasty.

The dragon energy, don’t expect it to still be there now?

"It stands to reason that this dragon energy should have dissipated long ago. After all, it has been two hundred years since the Han Dynasty made Luoyang its capital. No matter how much dragon energy there is, it should be gone... Could there be a founding treasure here?

"

With speculation in his mind, he couldn't help but want to find out. So in the past few days, Liu Xuan spent his free time wandering around the palaces in Chang'an, wanting to see the nascent aura of the Founding Dragon.

Where did it escape from?

At the same time, he was secretly glad in his heart: "If I hadn't ascended the throne as emperor, I wouldn't have noticed this dragon energy even in Chang'an."

Because although this dragon energy shows its nascent appearance and has a feeling of vitality, it is not strong and is even very weak. If Liu Xuan had not become the emperor, the dragon energy of the entire world and dynasty would be implicated in him, and it would definitely not be possible.

You will discover the existence of this dragon energy.

His wandering around the palaces in Chang'an gave all the princes a headache. Only when the emperor got out of Dong Zhuo's control did he reveal his true nature.

It is not difficult to understand the restless nature of young people, but there is a backlog of this important matter. There are a lot of veterans waiting to report to the emperor but no one can be found. There are even some people with dissatisfaction who see the emperor like this and encourage some veterans to make their own decisions.

.

Of course they didn't know that Liu Xuan was busy looking for dragon energy, but the emperor had no intention of handling government affairs with peace of mind, and with the encouragement of others, his ambition gradually expanded.

But no one knew that although Liu Xuan ran around all day, he would always call Xun Yu to question him every night. Even if he could not fully grasp some of the psychological changes of the princes in the court, he could guess that they were closely related to each other.

.

As for how Xun Yu knew?

Naturally, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty could not avoid Cao Cao and Lu Bu when discussing matters. These two men were now in power. The two most reliable troops in Chang'an City were in the hands of these two men. Although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had received the emperor's personal edict,

The five schools of the Northern Army were reorganized in Chang'an, but for now, the Yulin Army and the Huben Army are the most trustworthy troops.

Therefore, many ministers did not dare to look down on the two of them, not to mention that Lu Bu was a marquis and his status was not inferior to them. Although Cao Cao did not get a title, everyone understood that it would only be a matter of time. As long as these trivial matters were resolved at the moment,

After all this work, the title is a sure thing.

Cao Cao knew it, Xun You knew it, but could Liu Xuan know it? Therefore, the discussions between the princes of the Manchu Dynasty could not be hidden from Liu Xuan's ears. A few of them were naturally able to see it, so such as Taiwei Yang Biao and Taifu

People like Yuan Wei basically didn't express their opinions, but Wang Yun, without Dong Zhuo's suppression, seemed to be eager to give it a try.

"Your Majesty has been neglecting political affairs these days, which may lead to misunderstandings."

Xun Yu didn't know what Liu Xuan was doing these days. No matter how much the emperor asked him about the news of the princes in the court every day, he just thought that the emperor wanted to test the loyalty of his ministers. If this was the case, I'm afraid what would happen next

A lot of fuss is required.

The facts were similar. Liu Xuan estimated that the time was almost up, so he called Xun Yu to discuss the matter.

"You can ignore the source of dragon energy for the time being. It won't be able to escape anyway, so just look for it slowly! If the princes of the whole dynasty don't take care of it, there will probably be chaos."

After thinking about it in his mind, he asked Xun Yu: "I want to change the official system of the DPRK. What do Wen Ruo think?"

Xun Yu didn't expect that Liu Xuan would make such a big move right away? The reform of the official system is not something that can be changed. It involves all aspects of the relationship. Almost no dynasty would do such a thing. Most of them were the founders of the dynasty and the founding of the country.

It’s time to formulate the next system. Even if we change it in the future, it will only be small changes based on this system.

But judging from the emperor's intention, it is obvious that this is not a trivial matter.

"How do you want to change it, Your Majesty?"

Liu Xuan had this idea for a long time. It was really because the system of the Han Dynasty was too chaotic, and many of the powers were duplicated. When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty got through it, it would become even more chaotic. What made Liu Xuan even more troublesome was that there were many people in the Han Dynasty.

There was no apparent connection between the official title and the actual position, which made him think a lot.

Although he does not have the ability to formulate a better system, he can still use some of the better things in history.

For example, the legendary six-part system.

Forget about the three provinces and so on, the six-ministry system is a system that is very consistent with the current situation. More importantly, the currently used Sangong and Nine-Ministry system is actually the predecessor of the six-ministry system. Many of its powers have only been slightly changed, so such a

The backlash caused by the reform will not be too great.

Of course, if it were not for the protests from all the ministers, it is estimated that Liu Xuan would have directly introduced various modern systems. In that case, the division of powers would be more detailed and the rights would be more dispersed, which would be more beneficial to his rule.

"However, nothing should be done too hastily. The six-part system is enough for now, and it is also easier for people to accept."

After briefly talking about the Six-Ministry System with Xun Yu, Xun Yu immediately understood what the emperor meant.

The Six-Ministry System may not be much more advanced and perfect than the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers system, but it has clear powers and is easy to understand. At the same time, its power is relatively easier to concentrate in the hands of the emperor. Compared with the current Nine Ministers, each has a complete government team.

It's easier to control.

This was extremely beneficial to the emperor's rule. Xun Yu naturally agreed, but said: "With everything pending at the moment, it seems not appropriate to make such a big move."

Liu Xuan had a different view: "Now that the princes of the imperial court have just entered Chang'an with me, the court is in chaos. If we don't take advantage of this time to take control of the court, we may be controlled by the princes again."

What he means is to take advantage of the chaos to directly build a team that can be used by him, put things on track in the shortest possible time, and then slowly clean up those disobedient ones.

What Xun Yu meant was to first clean up those ambitious people, and then wait until only loyal people were left in the court before implementing the New Deal. In this way, naturally no one would oppose it, and more importantly, there would be no secret resistance to the New Deal.

Implement it, otherwise the following will follow the instructions and violate them, and it will not take long to completely destroy an originally good government order.

Of course Liu Xuan understood what Xun Yu was worried about, but he had his own ideas.

"But those who disobey orders will have their homes confiscated and their clans exterminated!"

He has all the troops and horses in his hands at this time. If he doesn't take advantage of this moment to do something thunderous, why don't he wait until the ministers have the power to fight back? Anyway, he knows that he has enough talents and is not afraid that no one will be able to use them. And there is no need to kill them all.

Okay, just kill a few people, and the rest will naturally not dare to do anything else.

As for reputation? Ever since he was betrayed, Liu Xuan has understood that everything in this world is false. Only if you win can you have everything.
