Cai Yan's thoughts were seen through by the emperor, and she felt ashamed and left the seat to apologize. She said that she was silent for a long time, but she couldn't say anything.
"minister……"
Liu Xie sighed. "Cai Lingshi, I know that this matter is difficult. It is even more difficult for you, a woman, to do it. But is there anything not difficult in the world? Mencius said: Born in distress, die in happiness.
If everyone is afraid of difficulties and indulges in peace, where will the rejuvenation come from? When the Han Dynasty fell to this point, wasn’t it just that the scholars and officials who should have taken on the heavy responsibility were full of food all day long, doing nothing, only knowing how to sit and discuss the truth, and not willing to take up and do it?"
Cai Yan's face was red and speechless.
"Everyone has the right to choose. If you refuse to do something difficult, I can't force you." Liu Xie's face gradually became serious. "But if you make a choice, you have to bear the corresponding consequences. In the future, you will be able to do so.
There is a great war and Shandong is plundered again. Don’t blame the court for not working hard. I have given you a chance, but you don’t want it and don’t want it.”
Cai Yan sweated like rain, but his body trembled uncontrollably.
She understood what Liu Xie meant, also remembered the tragic situation of being plundered by Xiliang soldiers in her hometown, and the years that she could not bear to look back on.
Liu Xie paused and said lightly: "Okay, I'm tired, you go back and rest first."
"Ye." Cai Yan responded tremblingly and withdrew from the tent.
The historian who was responsible for recording daily notes was writing quickly, and he didn't even dare to head.
Liu Xie stood up, paced back and forth for two steps, picked up Cao Cao's preface, turned around and came out of the tent, and came to the harem.
Although it has not decided to move the capital to Chang'an, the Weiyang Palace has been used. When Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, some renovations were carried out here, and it is roughly large. Now, it doesn't take too much trouble to come back, just clean up a little.
The only thing that is troublesome is the Jiaofang Hall.
The Jiaofang Hall is the exclusive residence of the queen. Before, Liu Xie did not establish a queen, and no one was qualified to live in the Jiaofang Hall, so it would be useless to clean it up. Later, Fu Shou was appointed as the queen, but Donggui had already been put on the agenda, so of course it was
Not in the mood to clean up.
When he came back this time, the Jiaofang Palace finally came in handy, and Fu Shou lived in.
Xun Wenqian and others should have lived in Yeting, but Liu Xie asked Xun Wenqian and others to live in the side hall near Jiaofang Hall on the grounds that Yeting had been disrepair. Several halls were not far away and it was very convenient to get around.
Liu Xie came to the Jiaofang Hall, and Fu Shou was talking to Xun Wenqian. Liu Tai was wearing a thick winter clothes, round like a ball, and was learning to walk under the help of a nanny. He just started walking not long after he was one year old.
Progress is rapid.
Seeing Liu Xie come in, Liu Tai pushed the nanny away, spread his arms, and ran towards Liu Xie crookedly.
Liu Xie quickly squatted down, put the document under his armpit, and hugged Liu Tai.
Liu Tai grinned his teethless mouth and made a crisp laugh. This laughter sootheed the depression in Liu Xie's heart, blew away the dark clouds that enveloped his heart, and made his mood clear.
In an instant, Liu Xie forgot his body, who was only seventeen years old, and forgot his great cause of rejuvenation. The soul of the old man hidden deep in his heart woke up, his eyebrows and eyes were full of enjoyment of family life, and his face was filled with a bright smile.
Fu Shou, Xun Wenqian stood up, felt the warmth in Liu Xie's eyes, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Recently, Liu Xie has been worried about state affairs and rarely smiles so happily.
The next second, a document slid down from Liu Xie's ribs and floated in front of Xun Wenqian.
Xun Wenqian glanced at the cover, and her eyelids twitched. She squatted down, picked up the document, and handed it to Fushou.
Fu Shou also saw it, holding it in his hand, but did not look at it.
Liu Xie played with Liu Tai for a while before handing him over to the nanny, turned around and looked at Fu Shou and Xun Wenqian. Seeing the documents in Fu Shou's hand, he couldn't help laughing.
"I forgot about this. The war in Shandong is about to end. Cao Cao requested to come to the court to see him. Do you think it is feasible?"
Fu Shou pursed his lips. "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for the harem to interfere in politics. Your Majesty will ask the ministers for such a matter."
"What the ministers must ask is that their minds are now on Sikong's posthumous title and they are not in the mood to discuss these matters." Liu Xie snorted softly, and the smile on his face faded a little, with a hint of resentment.
He did not exaggerate.
For those scholars and officials, Cao Cao's visit to the court was not worth mentioning compared to Zhang Xi's reputation and interests behind him.
What's the difference between a castration and killing innocent villains indiscriminately? What's waiting for him may not be rewards, but also criticism.
Therefore, Cao Cao also knew the truth and did not mention the reward at all. He just wanted to pay homage to Tianyan and then imitate Yuan Shu to guard the border for the country.
Liu Xie could feel the pressure Cao Cao felt, even more real.
If he insists on his own, he may be regarded as a great enemy by the scholars and officials, and then he will be ridiculed in person, "The two emperors Huan Ling are not good, you are a militaristic person and favor villains, but you are not as good as the two emperors Huan Ling."
He saved these scholars and officials from the edge of greater troubled times, but perhaps anyone would be grateful to him.
Only the sufferings that have been experienced in person are the real sufferings. The scholar-officials who have not been rubbed on the ground by Cao Cao and Cao Pi are still the most proud group of people in this era.
"Since that's the case, why not wait and say it again." Xun Wenqian said slowly: "If you enter the court, you can enter the court, so that your Majesty will not be able to return to Luoyang."
"You don't agree with returning to Luoyang?"
"When I went to Hedong, I once lived in Luoyang." Xun Wenqian said in a faint tone: "Luoyang is not as good as Chang'an today. If you want to restore it, you will inevitably have to build a large-scale construction. As today's first decision, people's livelihood is withering, and it is the time to rest with the people.
When it comes to building a large scale of construction.”
Liu Xie pondered, not commenting on it.
The situation in Luoyang is very bad. Although he has never seen this with his own eyes, he can imagine it.
But Xun Wenqian's meaning is more than that. Not only did she not agree with returning to Luoyang, she even did not mention returning to Hedong. It can be seen that she actually supported the move of the capital to Chang'an, but she didn't explain it too clearly.
There is no conclusion on whether to move the capital to Chang'an. For Xun Wenqian, there is a major difference.
If you return to Hedong and still regard Anyi as the temporary capital, then the Hedong Yin Xun Yu will be the chief important official of the capital. If you move the capital to Chang'an, Anyi will lose its status as the temporary capital, and Xun Yu will be an ordinary Hedong prefect.
This may even affect Xun Yu's performance to a certain extent.
The location of the capital of the Gyeonggi naturally has extra points, which is the unspoken rule of the officialdom.
But from another perspective, this can also make Xun Yu truly the prefect of a county who tried to perform the Dutian Order like Yang Xiu and Chen Gong. He can let go of his hands and feet without having to worry too much.
Of course, Xun Wenqian's support for transferring Cao Cao from Yanzhou may also be because of his dissatisfaction with Cao Cao's previous actions and wanted to cut off from Cao Cao.
"Then let him come." Liu Xie made the decision. "Let's talk about it after you come."
Fu Shou smiled and bowed slightly. "Since Your Majesty is not going back to Hedong for the time being, can I ask me to summon my parents to go on a trip? In short, I haven't seen them for some days. I haven't felt very comfortable recently, so I can't eat or drink.
Xiang, if you can see them, you may have some improvement.”
"Are you sick?" Liu Xie was a little worried.
Xun Wenqian smiled. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the queen is not sick, she has a body. Doctor Hua has already checked his pulse, but Your Majesty is too busy recently and has not had time to report it."
Liu Xie was puzzled. "How can you not be anxious for such a big thing?"
Fu Shou covered his mouth and smiled, "Doctor Hua didn't say it was a man or a woman, maybe it was a daughter. Your Majesty, don't be happy too early."
