One morning's court affairs determined the Han Dynasty's struggle plan for the next unknown number of years: the 800,000 forbidden army plan!

Although the ministers did not think that this plan was possible, it was a good thing for the emperor to have such an ambition, and we can also know from many of the emperor's words that the emperor wanted to restore the prosperity of the dynasty and had such a goal.

, everyone also has a direction to work towards, which is better than the original way of vaguely taking one step at a time.

So in general, after this day, the spirit of the entire court changed. After the court was over, the three princes all said when they got together to chat: "Although the new king is still young, he has great ambitions.

At the same time, he is diligent in political affairs... There is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty!"

Of course, during this period, it was necessary to say something like: "Everyone is helping me again." In this way, while praising his colleagues, he also praised himself in a different way, but no one would mention it at this time.

During this period, it was also inevitable that some people would privately say, "The emperor is still young, but he is addicted to women, which may not be the blessing of the Han Dynasty!" However, most of the people who talked about this topic were middle and low-level officials in the court.

For example, the Sangong, Jiuqing, and the newly promoted officials of the Six Ministries will not participate.

And at this time when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty gathered together to chat, occasionally chatting about romance and the emperor's gossip, Liu Xuan was talking to Liu Ye in his study.

Liu Ye's clan identity has been recognized by Zongzheng Temple. Zongzheng and Liu Ai also value this young Han clan clan member - the Han clan has declined, and many powerful ministers who control the government have appeared one after another. They are Han clan clan clan members.

Liu Ai now has a hard time trusting most 'outsiders'.

On the contrary, it is a talented and learned clan member like Liu Ye that he values ​​​​more - this is not unusual. After encountering such a thing, it is probably difficult for anyone to trust others. In comparison, Liu Ye can be regarded as one of his own.

A little more trustworthy.

This is also caused by the 'family' plot that has always existed in this season. If it were Liu Xuan, he would never think so. I am afraid that in his heart, this person from the same clan makes him even more afraid. However, the person in front of him does not seem to have much ambition.

In addition, he was indeed very talented and learned, and Liu Xuan also valued him very highly.

At this time, Liu Ye was sitting below, while Zongzheng and Liu Ai were accompanying them. After asking each other a few words, Liu Xuan got to the point directly: "What do you think of Ziyang's current mission to Xiliang?"

Liu Ye is only in his twenties now. He is still very young. However, he has already grown a beautiful beard and has a good appearance and temperament. Anyone who sees such a person will feel good about him, and Liu Xuan is also there.

He secretly praised in his heart: "He is worthy of being a person who can become an important counselor of Cao Wei. He is indeed an outstanding person."

You must know that although Cao Cao has been a Han official all his life, he does not act like a minister at all. In this case, he himself is very afraid of the descendants of the Liu family - and Liu Ye is the direct grandson of Emperor Guangwu. With this status

He was very sensitive to serving under Cao Cao, but he has always been valued by Cao Wei's forces, which shows that he is a good person.

When Liu Ye saw Liu Xuan's inquiry, he cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust. I will definitely convince the Spurs to come to Beijing to meet your majesty."

After saying these words, Liu Xuan and Liu Ai both smiled and nodded, knowing that Liu Ye fully understood the emperor's intention of sending him as envoy to Xiliang this time.

Ma Teng is currently serving as the governor of Xiliang, and basically controls the entire territory of Liangzhou. He can decide whether it is military or internal affairs with a single word. He is really a figure like an emperor in the northwest.

If such a person comes to Beijing to meet the emperor, he will undoubtedly return all his rights to the imperial court. This can also be regarded as a way to show loyalty. If Liu Ye can persuade Ma Teng to come to Beijing, then it will be equivalent to the perfect completion of the emperor's request.

The task assigned.

As for how to do it specifically, Liu Xuan did not ask. After all, the lobbying methods, in addition to having a general idea in mind in advance, mostly depend on the situation at the time and improvising on the spot. It is useless for you to ask too detailed questions at the moment, so I still

It's better not to ask, so as to express his trust in Liu Ye.

So for the next period of time, Liu Xuan asked Liu Ye what he had done before and what friends he had made while studying in his hometown. At the same time, he also asked about some customs and customs in the southeast, and then asked

How are the local government's policies implemented, and what are the living conditions of the local people like?

After some nonsense, Liu Xuan asked Liu Ai to lead Liu Ye down. Naturally, he didn't know. As soon as he left the palace gate, Liu Ye looked back at the tall imperial city gate and sighed softly.

Voice: "There is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty."

His voice was extremely low when he said this, and even if he was three steps away, I would not be able to hear what he said, but Liu Ai was right next to him, and Liu Ai had no other advantages, but his ears were extremely easy to use.

, Hearing this, he couldn't help but turn around and wonder secretly why Liu Ye made such a judgment?

Since Liu Ye entered the country, Liu Ai has paid a lot of attention to this young man and often invited him to have banquets. During this period, he also talked about many world affairs and his views on political affairs. Of course, Liu Ai also admitted that this approach was somewhat of a desire.

Let’s take a look at this young man’s talents.

The final conclusion made him very happy. He felt that this young man was definitely a rare talent, especially as he was a member of the Liu family and a direct descendant of the Guangwu sect. Liu Ai even felt that Liu Ye could become a famous official in the resurgence of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, such a person with great talent generally has a very high vision. Although Liu Ye did not directly comment on the princes of the court, Liu Ai could still feel that in this young man's heart, whether it was for the three princes of the current court or for the current

Some princes who hold real power are not rated very high.

But I didn't expect that just after chatting with the emperor today, he would have such a high evaluation. I couldn't help but ask more questions out of curiosity.

Liu Ye's answer was simple: "Your Majesty has great ambitions and is very practical. Although the question I just asked is not very eye-catching, it will be of great use in governing the country."

After all, you have to first know the situation in that place and what exactly is going on before you know how to deal with it.

Moreover, when Liu Xuan asked where his hometown was, he naturally wanted to extend the power of the imperial court to that place - but before that, the northwest was not discussed, and the princes of Guandong could not easily give up their rights.

There are quite a few people to deal with.

Liu Xuan asked those questions, so he was naturally confident that he could solve these problems.

Of course, if it was just like this, he wouldn't think Liu Xuan was a wise king. The real deciding factor was everything he saw with his own eyes during this period.

During the period when Liu Ye came, he happened to catch up with the reform of the Six Ministries, the census and the vigorous encouragement of farming and reclamation. In such a chaotic period and the current embarrassing environment, the emperor did not blindly strengthen the military, but started from the people's livelihood. It can be seen that

This new king is not an impulsive person who doesn't understand anything.

As for the reform of the Six Ministries, we can also see that the new king wants to consolidate the power of the court - but only appointed the position of Minister of Household Affairs, and let the other positions be chosen by the court's veterans. It also shows that the new king is not the kind of person who is eager to seek help.

He is a man who cannot hold his breath. He knows how to let go appropriately and gain more room for maneuver for himself. From this point of view, this young emperor is already a qualified emperor.

But if this is the case, at most it will only extend the life of the Han Dynasty for a few years and survive for more than ten or twenty years. Then it will still inevitably fall into chaos.

What really made Liu Xuan gain Liu Ye's attention was Liu Xuan's emphasis on military affairs and his reform of the existing unreasonable armament system - and he did so vigorously and resolutely without any sloppiness.

Taking these things together, Liu Ye would give such an evaluation.

If he first came to Beijing because of the imperial conquest and could not refuse, then he really had the idea of ​​​​showing his talents in the imperial court, helping the Han Dynasty and re-rising the Han Dynasty.

He did not say these words to Liu Ai. After all, if he said these words, he would probably make the Han clan clan member greatly dissatisfied, and might even arouse the Zong Zheng's disgust. Although Liu Ye was young, he was not

For people who are unsophisticated, it is better to keep these words rotten in their stomachs.

It's just that Liu Ye probably never expected that he was commenting on Liu Xuan in his heart, and Liu Xuan was also commenting on Liu Ye.

"He is indeed an outstanding person. Now that the imperial court is employing people, the more talents of this kind, the better." Liu Xuan smiled and said to Xun Yu next to him: "Take some time to chat more with Liu Ziyang and ask

Ask him if he knows any talented people."

When Xun Yu heard what the emperor said, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "How can one meet talented people so easily?"

Liu Xuan waved his hand: "Otherwise, birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Talented people are also quite arrogant themselves, and people who are not equally talented and learned cannot be friends with them. Therefore, talented people have many close friends."

He is a talented person, but don’t miss him by accident.”

What's more, does Liu Xuan know how many talents have popped up in this land for nearly a hundred years since this year? It's simply the most prosperous period of talent spurt for this nation. He doesn't expect to catch them all

, at least you have to pull most of the stroke into your hands, right?

"If it weren't for being an emperor and not being able to run around, I would have gone and brought Zhao Yun and Dian Wei Tongtong here. Why should we go to such trouble and go through several hoops to recruit talents?"

But for now, it is enough. Who allows him, the emperor, to control only a small piece of land like Chang'an?

"This situation won't last for long..." He secretly estimated in his mind: the Forbidden Army has been reorganized, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have also begun real reorganization and training, and with the Huben Army and the Yulin Army on the side, Chang'an is no longer the same as before.

I was so fragile in the first two months.

Moreover, Lu Zhi estimated that as long as he was given another year, he could expand the number of the Forbidden Army to 30,000 people. By then, the imperial court would not only have the power to protect itself, but also have the strength to regain the northwest.

Just when Liu Xuan was about to pretend to be dead and keep a low profile in pursuit of development, unexpected news came from the east: Dong Zhuo was dead, at the hands of a general who suddenly rebelled.
