Chapter 1 Changing the Sky
In the Greenhouse Palace, you will not feel cold even in winter. This palace was specially built for the emperor to spend the winter. It took a lot of thought to build, so when Liu Xuan moved the capital to Chang'an, repairs were even more time-consuming.
It was not until this fall that the Greenhouse Hall was finally restored to its original appearance.
When you step on the thickly carpeted floor, you don't feel the coldness of winter at all. Even in the corridor, you only feel a little cold.
But if you stand in the courtyard, no matter how magical the palace is built, it may not be able to stop the severe cold in winter, especially when the falling snowflakes slowly cover the ground with a layer of white snow.
I feel the arrival of winter.
"Your Majesty, be careful of the cold."
Liu Xuan didn't wear much, just ordinary clothes, and he didn't wear anything outside. He just stood in the courtyard and stared at the sky in a daze - there was no greenhouse effect in this era, and this winter was no better than in later generations. It was very cold, and ordinary people would
It is not uncommon to freeze to death after standing like this for a long time. Therefore, in ancient times, every winter was a disaster for many people. Whether they could successfully survive the winter even depended on their luck.
Of course, he himself did not have such worries. As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he could live in a warm palace and had no shortage of clothing to keep out the cold. Even if he did get sick, he would have the best doctors to treat him.
What's more important is that Liu Xuan is a cultivator and his body is already strong. Now that he has made a breakthrough in cultivation, although he is not really protected from the cold and heat, he really doesn't care about the wind and cold, let alone
He was still wearing clothes. Even if he stood here shirtless all day and night, nothing would happen to him.
He looked back at Cai Yan, who was holding a thick cloak in his hand. His little palm-sized face was flushed, and he could tell at a glance that he was cold.
Compared to Liu Xuan, Cai Yan has only been practicing for a short period of time, and because her body is ordinary, she is not afraid of cold and heat, so she still needs to wear clothes to keep out the cold like ordinary people.
Taking the cloak casually, Liu Xuan directly put it on Cai Yan's body: "You also know that I have been practicing for a long time, so I don't take this severe cold seriously. But you have to be careful not to freeze your body."
In a blink of an eye, the thick cloak was already on his body, wrapping his whole body in it. Cai Yan felt that the strong cold wind and the biting and cold snow were blocked in another world.
, the thick feeling coming from the cloak made her feel very warm.
It had been quite some time since she had been married to the emperor, and Liu Xuan was usually very polite and gentle to her, but it was rare to see such considerate gestures. Cai Yan was stunned for a while when they met him suddenly, and it took a while before he replied.
Come to God.
He raised his head and found that Liu Xuan was looking up at the sky again, not knowing what was so good about the gray sky.
"What is your Majesty looking at?"
After watching it for a while, I still didn't see anything special, so I had no choice but to ask Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan didn't hide it either. After more than a year of getting along with her, Liu Xuan already had enough understanding of Cai Yan - a very quiet girl who was gentle and obedient, but she also had her own feelings deep down in her heart.
Insights and ideas.
She is kind-hearted and has accepted her current identity - the current queen, his Liu Xuan's wife. Just seeing that she is no longer as rigid when talking to him now, he knows that she is slowly adapting to being with him.
life.
This was a truly trustworthy person, so Liu Xuan directly told her what he was looking at: "I am looking at the sky above the Han Dynasty."
"Sky?" Cai Yan looked up again, but was blinded by a snowflake. He quickly lowered his head and wiped his eyes: "What's so good about this gray sky?"
In fact, the same action was taken by little Diao Chan who was waiting on the side - girls always grow very fast, especially at this age. When Liu Xuan went on the expedition at the beginning of the year, Diao Chan looked like a little girl, but now she seems to have grown up.
Opened, although there is still a little childishness on her face, she is undoubtedly a grown-up girl now.
When Liu Xuan's class teacher came back, she was shocked. She just felt that she had fulfilled her words: Women's 18th transformation!
He never thought that Diao Chan would be like this, and it had something to do with the set of techniques he gave him. Because Diao Chan's cultivation progressed very quickly, it also stimulated her own development, so Liu Xuan was scared of himself by changing his direction.
This little girl, no matter where she goes now, she has a nine-section whip wrapped around her waist. It was a small gift that Liu Xuan specially gave her before going on the expedition. He also said that when he came back, he would test how well she had practiced in school.
, so the little girl practices every day and every night.
It has to be said that Diao Chan's talent is really good. Not only does she use the nine-section whip very well, but she also integrates it into her own dance. Now, the nine-section whip on Diao Chan's waist can not only be used as a weapon to fight with others.
, can also be used as props to perform beautiful dance moves, which Liu Xuan did not expect, but he naturally would not object to this. He would also ask Diao Chan to dance when he thought of it - even though this guy is a drunkard and does not care about drinking.
.
But Liu Xuan had no such intention today. He looked at the gloomy sky and finally muttered: "Today... things are going to change a lot!"
Cai Yan was not sure at first, but after thinking about it for a while and contacting many things, he suddenly realized: "Your Majesty is worried about the Han Dynasty..."
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, the current situation is turbulent, and the princes are standing side by side.
Although the imperial court had wiped out the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si, as well as Ma Teng and Han Sui, they surrendered to the imperial court. However, Ma Teng and Han Sui were still in a state of separation, and it would take some means to truly conquer them.
The situation in Guandong became even more chaotic. Dozens of princes recruited their best soldiers and trained their troops. Just looking at the posture, a war was about to break out. Not to mention others, Yuan Shao pacified Qingzhou during this period, and he also had the intention of plotting against Jizhou.
, and because Liu Yu left, Gongsun Zan, who had completely controlled Youzhou, also set his sights on Jizhou.
The situation in Hebei is already very tense, and a war may break out at any time.
But these are not the most noteworthy things. In this year, apart from the emperor's personal expedition against Li Jue and Guo Si, the most concerning thing is that the Jiangdong tiger Sun Jian had a conflict with Liu Biao on his way back to Jiangdong.
Because Liu Biao ambushed Liu Biao on his way back, Sun Jian held a grudge after escaping. After finally running to his hometown, he immediately recruited troops to seek revenge on Liu Biao.
This battle didn't last long. It started after Liu Xuan conquered Li Jue and Guo Si. However, the winner was already decided before Liu Xuan returned to the army.
Sun Jian's army was ambushed and suffered numerous casualties. What was even more fatal was that Sun Jian himself was killed by an arrow in this battle. He could not even recover his body. In the end, it was Sun Ce who exchanged Huang Zu for his father's body.
Sun Jian's body was preserved and transported back to his hometown for burial.
At this point, a generation of Jiangdong tigers died. Liu Xuan sighed after learning about it, and asked Liu Ye, who had gone to the Ministry of War to serve as Zuo Shilang: "Where is his son going now?"
"According to the news from Liu Biao, his eldest son Sun Ce went to Yuan Shu's tent after burying his father."
Liu Xuan nodded and did not continue to ask. He knew that Sun Ce would not stay with Yuan Shu for long and would soon leave on his own. And he could also completely conclude that the dragon energy obtained by the Jiangdong Sun family was in Sun Ce.
On the body. Now that Sun Jian died, Sun Ce just stepped onto this stage. If there are no changes, then the Sun family's separatist rule in Jiangdong will become inevitable.
Although there is a phenomenon called the butterfly effect, when something is almost inevitable, then no effect will have much effect.
Unless Liu Xuan rushes over and kills Sun Ce now, but Liu Xuan really doesn't have the time to do that right now.
"Speaking of which, Sun Ce is also a ruthless person, and he doesn't have any favorable impressions of the wealthy families. You can tell from the fact that he later slaughtered almost the entire Lu family."
He shook his head and put Sun Ce's matter aside. He didn't have the heart to care about it now. The affairs of the three-acre land at hand were enough to keep him busy for a while.
But Liu Ye's report did not end there. He cautiously raised one more thing: "It's getting colder today. Although the princes in Guandong have some thoughts, they all suppressed it and concentrated on spending the winter. Ranchen has received some reports in recent days.
The news is very strange."
"oh?"
"There are traces of the movement of large groups of people in Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou. Although they seem to be ordinary refugees, things like this suddenly happened all over the place, so we have to be careful." Liu Ye has not been in the Ministry of War for a long time, and he still has
A complete intelligence system has not been truly established.
However, Liu Ye's ability was fully demonstrated at this time, because what he saw were all the things that the spies sent by the imperial court during this period had collected and then thrown away and ignored.
As a result, he analyzed some important information from these seemingly ordinary messages, and then immediately reported it to Liu Xuan, hoping to arouse the emperor's alert.
Liu Xuan was indeed very concerned after hearing this, and asked Liu Ye to talk about it. Finally, Liu Xuan came to a conclusion: "The old Nanhua thieves are ambitious and seem to be recruiting the old Yellow Turbans! I guess it won't be long before this Yellow Turban army
It will rise again."
Liu Ye didn't know that Liu Xuan had been in contact with Nanhua, and he had a rough guess about Nanhua's plan. He had no idea how the emperor came to such a conclusion.
However, since the emperor has concerns in his mind, he has completed his task. As for how the emperor plans to deal with it, that is not his current job.
After resigning and leaving, Liu Xuan strolled into the courtyard, and then he said to Cai Yan: "Today...big changes are going to happen!"
If the Yellow Turbans rise again, it will definitely not be as easy to pacify as it was during the Ling Emperor. Since Nanhua dares to cause war again, he must have something to rely on. Furthermore, at that time, Nanhua stole part of what he taught from Lu Bu.
The magic formula... Liu Xuan has already made some guesses in his mind.
"It seems that it is not that easy to restore the Han Dynasty!"
