Seeing that Liu Xie was in a daze, Xiaoqiao did not dare to disturb him. He hugged obediently in the quilt and leaned quietly against Liu Xie's chest.
Liu Xie's breathing was very stable, his heartbeat was strong and powerful, which gave people a firm sense of security. His arms were also very strong, and his flat abdomen could clearly feel the strength of his muscles, which made Xiaoqiao very curious.
She has been with her father since she was a child and has seen many generals and warriors, most of whom are big and round waists, and few are like emperors.
Xiaoqiao was in a daze, subconsciously stroked Liu Xie's abdomen with his fingers, and then unexpectedly encountered a forbidden area.
The thoughtful Liu Xie suddenly woke up, looked down at the little bridge that was like a frightened deer, and smiled slightly. "I am indeed very bored. Such a beautiful scenery, but I just have to think about those headaches."
Before Xiaoqiao could understand, Liu Xie lowered his head and kissed him. A strong masculine aura came. Xiaoqiao said "um" and his whole body was soft and he had no intention of thinking about anything else.
A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold.
The clouds dissipate and the rain is closed, and Liu Xie and the small bridge are hugging each other.
Mrs. Tang's letter lay quietly on the table.
——
The next morning, Liu Xie ordered Cao Zhang before morning exercises, to see if the Grand Marshal Jia Xu got up. If he got up, he would invite him to come and have breakfast together.
Cao Zhang said carelessly: "The Taiwei practices Qi and gets up very early every day. It's hard to say whether he eats breakfast or not. Even if he eats it, he still eats light food and doesn't know how to eat meat porridge."
Liu Xie was a little surprised. He often invited Jia Xu to have breakfast and discussed some things by the way. He never heard Jia Xu talk about nourishing qi and not eating meat porridge, although he didn't eat much every time.
"Who did you hear?"
"My mother, the astragalus used in Taiwei's health porridge was found by my mother for him."
Liu Xie thought about it and asked Cao Zhang to go to Shangshijian first, ask Mrs. Bian to arrange two bowls of light porridge, and then invite Jia Xu.
Cao Zhang took the order and left.
After the morning exercises were over, the porridge was delivered, and Jia Xu also came with a pinch.
The king and his ministers exchanged a few greetings and took their seats together. Open the tightly covered porridge pot, and the aroma of porridge was swelling. Jia Xu, who was talking to Liu Xie, was slightly stunned, turned his head and looked at it, and then smiled.
"Your Majesty has taken care of."
"I was careless before." Liu Xie also smiled.
"Your Majesty has a lot of things, so you don't have to worry about these trivial matters. Although I have grown older and have a light taste, I am not unable to eat meat. If I really don't want to eat, I will tell Your Majesty bluntly and will not be wronged."
Liu Xie was a little surprised. "So, is it the news you deliberately released?"
Jia Xu stroking his beard and laughed. "Your Majesty knows me. Although I can still eat meat and drink, I don't like the atmosphere at the banquet. If I don't go, I won't give people face. If I go, it's really noisy.
It hurts your ears. Find a reason to practice Taoism, save trouble, and earn some reputation by the way."
Xiaoqiao, who was serving on the side, smiled and said, "The Grand Marshal is famous all over the world, do you still want to make a name for yourself?"
Jia Xu sighed softly. "The noble man doesn't know what he has. Although Xu is famous all over the world, he is notorious. It's better not to be able to make it. What he earns now is the reputation worth a book in history in the future. Not only me, but most people in Liangzhou are like this.
”
Xiaoqiao blinked. "No wonder the general of Fujun is so famous."
"Rareless!" Liu Xie frowned and shouted.
Xiaoqiao smiled embarrassedly, apologized to Jia Xu, served the good wine, and stepped aside.
Jia Xu disagreed. "Your Majesty doesn't have to mind, and the nobles are not wrong. When it comes to good reputation, Han Sui has even better results. Good reputation is not a bad thing, as long as it is not too much. People who cherish reputation are more shameless than shameless.
Some."
Liu Xie took the opportunity to raise his concerns. "I am afraid that the ministers will cherish their reputation and will not offend others and do things. After all, the public opinion in this world is still in the hands of the scholars and officials."
Jia Xu nodded. "Your Majesty's worries are of course correct, but this is no longer the past, the general situation has come true, and no one can reverse it. All Your Majesty needs is some patience."
"So, Mr. Jia isn't worried that those who stay are all the people who stay?"
"Don't worry." Jia Xu picked up the porridge bowl. "After the chaos, it is time to rest and recuperate. It is the opportunity for the elderly to stay in peace. After thirty years, their vitality will be restored, and these people should be relieved and return to their fields. At that time, I will think very much.
The younger generation goes all over the world and just becomes the new force for His Majesty to explore the four barbarians. What's wrong with this? Just like this porridge, it is only suitable for old ministers, but not for His Majesty. If you want to eat it for a few days, you will want to eat meat more."
Liu Xie thought about it and felt that Jia Xu was right.
As for the current situation, it is not a bad thing to have more seniors.
As for the future, there will naturally be new changes, and there is no need to think too far. There is no policy once and for all.
Only the easy is not easy, keeping pace with the times is the truth of governing the country.
The two of them said while eating, and before they knew it, they talked about Han Rong.
Jia Xu still has an impression of Han Rong. "Although Han Rong is a famous scholar, he is a pragmatic person, unlike Xun Shuang, Chen Ji and others. He has not made any noise for several years when he returned to his hometown. Now he suddenly comes out of the mountain, even if he is a brother of Shi Xie or
If anything else comes, it is forced, and it is definitely not an initiative."
Liu Xie felt it was reasonable.
Han Rong, an old minister, was still very at ease. He had never caused trouble for him for so many years.
"I am worried that it is related to Bohai. How to arrange those people is a problem."
Jia Xu laughed and took a sip of porridge. "Jiazhou is about to be pacified and many officials need to be replaced. Sun Ce goes to sea to fight and also needs to manage local officials. How can a county in Bohai be enough for them to show their strength? It should be bigger.
space.”
Liu Xie burst into tears and couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang is still old, Jia Xu's move is so powerful.
They may not be willing to let those Ruying people who are desperate to go to sea, so it would be much easier to let them go to Jiaozhou. After all, Jiaozhou is still within the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, Jiaozhou does need a group of experienced officials to manage it.
Although Zhong Yao, Xun Chen and others were not as aggressive as Cao Ang, there should be no problem in pacifying the newly established Jiaozhou counties. Zhang Zhao was able to assist Sun Ce in governing Jiangdong, and his political achievements were reasonable.
As an arrangement of the transitional stage, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Can they want to?"
"It was ten years ago that they would definitely not want to. Now the situation is different, and they should not refuse." Jia Xu smiled. "They refused to go, some people were willing to go, but Jiangnan people were eager to try."
After hearing this, Liu Xie couldn't help laughing.
Jia Xu was right. He was in Lingling for more than half a year. Although he failed to realize the plan to establish Jiangling, his firm will to develop Jiangnan has been announced to the world. Now Jiangnan scholars and officials are very active and are seeking to enter the officialdom, but they do not refuse to go to the update.
The rise of the Jiaozhou and Jiangnan clan in the south has seriously threatened the status of the Central Plains scholars and officials, and even surpassed that of the Liangzhou people.
In this case, the people of Ruying had no confidence to bargain.
