Although he knew from the very beginning that he would eventually become the emperor's woman, Ma Yunlu still hoped that this day would come a little later.
She prefers to be a ward around the emperor like Lu Xiaohuan, and learn literature and martial arts like men.
The emperor did not mention the matter of serving the bed, so she pretended not to exist. Sometimes she even felt that such days might continue. One day in the future, she would have the opportunity to hire a battlefield like her brother and behead her and make meritorious contributions.
She even discussed the matter of being a marquis with Lu Xiaohuan.
But the emperor's words broke all her dreams.
Although the emperor's tone was relaxed, she didn't think the emperor was joking, maybe she could refuse.
Ma Yunlu couldn't remember how to get the account back next, she only remembered that the emperor looked at her with a strange look.
Sitting in the tent, Ma Yunlu looked at the pale and despairy young woman in the bronze mirror, sighed quietly, turned around and found the mirror box that had been sealed, took out the tweezers, bone combs, powder and so on. Makeup utensils are placed one by one on small tables.
If your eyebrows are thick, you have to pull them out. If your face is rough, you have to apply powder.
I didn't think that when I looked in the mirror today, I suddenly felt that I had become much unfamiliar with these things I had once been familiar with. When I looked in the mirror, it was so awkward. After a long time of struggle, I didn't even pull out a single eyebrow. It was even harder than shooting an archery. I felt inexplicably anxious and threw the tweezers on the table in anger.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Lu Xiaohuan lifted the tent and walked to Ma Yunlu, looking at the makeup on the desk, thinking. "You are..."
Ma Yunlu didn't say anything, just nodded.
Like her, Lu Xiaohuan will enter the palace in the future. However, Lu Xiaohuan is still young and has a few years of free time.
"What the emperor ordered?" Lu Xiaohuan raised his eyebrows.
Ma Yunlu nodded again, looking a little impatient. It was not the emperor's order, could it be that I would recommend myself to the pillow table?
"It turns out that the emperor doesn't like the male style." Lu Xiaohuan patted his chest, feeling relieved.
Ma Yunlu was stunned and turned to look at Lu Xiaohuan. "What did you say just now?"
Only then did Lu Xiaohuan realize that he had missed his mouth and quickly said, "I said nothing, I said nothing." Without waiting for Ma Yunlu to speak, he turned around and slipped out.
Ma Yunlu thought about it and couldn't help laughing out loud, and most of the depression in his heart disappeared.
Although the emperor had a queen and noble man, those few were not by his side. It is indeed easy for people to misunderstand that he had not summoned anyone to serve in Meiji for so long.
"The emperor is not a lustful person. Maybe I'm just talking about life?" Ma Yunlu looked at the makeup in front of him, and suddenly felt a move in his heart, put it all away, stuffed it into his luggage.
Liu Xie sat opposite Jia Xu, chatting about the customs and habits of Liangzhou, as well as possible problems, and preparing some possible plans.
"Jincheng heads west to the West Sea, it is Xihai Road, also known as Qiangzhong Road and Huangzhong Road, which is earlier than Hexi Road. After opening Hexi, this road is not as good as before, but the Qiang people in Huangzhong are still used to following this road The exchanges were not cut off." Jia Xu took a sip of tea. "Han Suining would rather give up Lingzhou than Jincheng, because he was attracted by this business road and convenient communication with the Qiang people. In contrast, the east of the north Qiang had no friendship with him, so he gave up if he gave up."
"Han Sui only wants benefits?"
"The interests are the main focus, and strength is to ensure the interests. As long as Your Majesty does not move his roots, he will not jump over the wall."
"When the Hexi Traffic Road is reopened in the future, and this Xihai Road will be affected. Can he agree?"
"It does have an impact, but as long as it is properly operated, it should not cause Han Sui's overly intense reaction." Jia Xu was not too slow, as it was said that "Your Majesty was not competing for profit with the people, but hiding wealth from the people and benefiting
It was everyone, including the Qiang people. Since that was the case, even if Han Sui was dissatisfied, the Qiang people would not support him."
Jia Xu bent his fingers, thought for a moment, and then said, "If someone doesn't know the current affairs and insists on jumping out, Your Majesty might as well kill one to warn them so that they can know the majesty of the court."
Liu Xie agreed, and Jia Xu's suggestions were almost impossible to predict. Compared with the court, Jia Xu did not want people like Han Sui in Liangzhou to appear. Once Han Sui rebels again, it will not only cause division to the strength of Liangzhou, but also
It will also make the Kanto people who have long been dissatisfied with it find reasons.
"Sir, have you heard of Song Jian?"
Jia Xu's eyebrows trembled slightly, and then he calmed down again. "My minister and Song Jian were former colleagues."
Liu Xie was stunned. Are Jia Xu and Song Jian actually colleagues?
Seeing Liu Xie surprised, Jia Xu smiled. "He was once Duan Gong's righteous consul, Li Wenhou, Beigong Boyu and others, and there is another more famous one. Your Majesty may have heard of it."
"who?"
"The kingdom of Hanyang people in the fourth year of Zhongping."
Liu Xie was completely shocked.
"Dong Zhuo was once Zhang Huan's old subordinate. Your Majesty should be clear about it, right?"
Liu Xie nodded. This is not a secret, he had known it for a long time.
"The Liangzhou Sanming was able to make contributions and make a name for the world because of the Liangzhou Han and Qiang Cong. When they were alive, if they could be used by the court, the Liangzhou people would be the sword in the hands of the court. If they had left their posts, no one in Liangzhou people would be subordinate.
It has become a hidden danger in Liangzhou. The profit and disadvantages are not in Liangzhou, but in the court."
"So, is it the court's fault?" Liu Xie laughed softly.
"Forgive me, the court is actually not only His Majesty's court, but also the court of literati. When the court was filled with Guandong literati, the court's attitude was actually the attitude of Guandong literati. They thought that the people of Liangzhou were a disaster, but the people of Liangzhou were not.
Disasters can also become disasters. Even if one or two famous officials like Yu Shengqing (Yu Xu) appear, they cannot change the prejudice of the Guandong scholars and officials towards Liangzhou."
Liu Xie thought about something and looked slightly.
He had discussed the Liangzhou policy of the court with Jia Xu and Xun You many times before, and was not unfamiliar with Yu Xu.
This person is from Kanto, but he is from Kanto who advocates keeping the cold, and he is from Kanto who is both civil and military.
When he was the prefect of Anding, Yu Xu defeated the Qiang people by using the plan of adding the stove. He also used the trick of doubting the troops to let his subordinates go out from the east gate, enter the north gate, change his clothes, and come again. The Qiang people couldn't figure out what he was doing.
Believe in the real and true, and believing in the truth, it is so scared that it retreats without fighting.
The trick that Dong Zhuo later learned in Luoyang was from Yu Xu.
If Yuan Shao had known Yu Xu's story a little more, he might not have been scared by Dong Zhuo.
There were not many Kanto scholars and officials like this who had both strategic vision and practical combat capabilities in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, Yu Xu's official position was only at the Sili School and the Shangshu Ling. The one who prevented him from being a nobleman was not from Liangzhou, but from Guandong.
The reason is very simple. Yu Xu is so outstanding that those Guandong scholars who can only talk can feel ashamed of themselves.
When Jia Xu mentioned Yu Xu, he naturally wanted to tell him that if you want to master Liangzhou, you must become a strong man like Yu Xu. Liangzhou people believe in the strong, respect the strong, and follow the strong. As long as your Majesty, you are strong enough,
The people of Liangzhou will not be your trouble, but your knife in your hand.
"How to treat Song Jianwei?"
"If Your Majesty is interested, I will follow Your Majesty and betray him. Song Jian is tactful and will tie him up. It is naturally the best. If you don't know the tactful, Your Majesty will raise your hand to destroy him." Jia Xu shook the palm-leaf fan and said lightly: "
