"The name is right? Hehe, the teacher is reasonable. For the prince, these four words are very important. Liu Yan said "very important", but her tone was very contemptuous: "He can be called a cat or a dog, Emperor Wu's first name, but it is ordinary, but his merits are deafening." The name or something, it's not a big deal. ”

Liu Yan spoke, and handed the child to Xu Shu: "Teacher, look at it, how much emperor does he have?"

"This ...... How can the teacher see it......" Xu Shu instinctively raised his hand and refused.

"Hasn't the teacher seen the imperial brother?" Liu Yan said in surprise.

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what she meant. But he still shook his head. She asked Pang Tong again: "Senior brother is not either?"

Pang Tong also shook his head, Liu Yan frowned and then stretched: "It's okay if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, then in this world, there are few people who have seen him." ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry about this, the Son of Heaven is majestic, and no one dares to offend Tianyan. "Pang Tong is realistic.

"That's right, it's that I'm thinking too much. Liu Yan smiled: "Since you don't want to name him, then I'll just name him." ”

"Your name is Liu Lai, there is a platform in the South Mountain, and there is a Lai in the North Mountain, nothing special. Liu Yan smiled: "Let's believe it, it's easy to feed with a cheap name." ”

Rai, the grass in the field also. Liu Yan gave him this name, which means that he has no father, no mother, and no place to come, just like a weed.

The second means that although he will inherit the emperor's business in the future, he will be the lord of the world. But now, he's just a wild boy from the field.

The third is to hope that he will be like a weed, with vigorous vitality, and the wildfire will not be exhausted, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate. Grow up healthy and take charge of the future of the country.

Pang Tong and Xu Shu had no objections, and Liu Lai's name was so "hastily" decided.

The name is barren grass, and Liu Lai's treatment is not "barren" at all. Liu Yan handed him over to Huang Xu and hid him in the Huang Mansion.

Everyone knows that Huang Xu is a widower, and the Huang family has no heirs. Liu Lai's second false identity is the side branch of the Huang family, which is raised in the Huang Mansion for the old man's pastime, which is Liu Yan's original words. Outsiders thought that he was found by the old man to inherit the family business.

In fact, Liu Lai has a better place to go than the Huang family, such as the Kou family, the Kou family is prosperous, and a random child is stuffed in the past without knowing it. Liu Yan and Liu Qiao casually took the surname Kou back then.

In contrast, the Huang family is a lone seedling, and there is an inexplicable child, and everyone's eyes will converge, and it is impossible to hide people's eyes and ears at all. However, Liu Yan chose the Huang family, which is the "favor" effect.

In order to help Liu Yan completely solve the chaos in Hanzhong, Huang Xu married an enemy, although he also gained a lot of benefits from "righteous annihilation", but in Liu Yan's heart, he always felt that he owed him a lot.

It wasn't enough to give him a knighthood, and it wasn't enough to keep him around. Now he has raised his heir in his house. Liu Lai is the future lord of the world and the best candidate for the new emperor. When he inherited the throne, the Huang family's protection was enough for Huang Xu to have a golden bell cover iron cloth shirt.

At that time, Huang Zhong will definitely be gone, and Liu Yan will definitely withdraw from the power center. But all the benefits will still fall on Huang Xu, and the Huang family will still be the first family.

Liu Yan took advantage of all the opportunities she could think of to compensate the Huang family. In other words, up to now, the person who knows Liu Lai's "honorable" status is exactly one hand. Liu Yan, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Huang Xu and Huang Zhong.

Because of Liu Lai, Huang Zhong completely gave up the idea of returning to Hanzhong, retired completely, and took care of his "grandson" at home. This is also one of the reasons why Liu Yan chose the Huang family, giving Huang Zhong an open reason to retire is much more effective than racking his brains and persuading with words.

However, Pang Tong and Xu Shu didn't dare to think about it, Liu Yan was always worried, which didn't mean that Cao Pi didn't dare to do it. Two days after Huang Zhong officially retired, definite news finally came from the north that Cao Pi had already been proclaimed emperor! Even the enthronement ceremony had been held, and the era name had been changed. It is now the second year of the early Huang dynasty in the north.

Xu Shu and Pang Tong came together, Liu Yan saw their-like faces, sighed in her heart, but her tone was ordinary: "The Cao family steals the country, and its heart should be punished." But it seems to me that it is only a matter of time. What I hate the most is those families who hold him and drive him up!"

Cao Pi was called the emperor, and he himself certainly had the advantage of sitting in the north and facing the south and being worshipped. However, the person who really benefited from this matter was the family that helped him ascend to the throne. They are the ones who control the government behind the scenes and hold the power.

During the two Jin Dynasty, there was a prominent name called the fourth and third dukes, which was the capital of showing off for the family, and it was a disaster for the emperor and the people. The two Jin Dynasty controlled by the family in turn, the emperor had no right to speak, and the poor scholars and the people were even more in dire straits.

Whether it is wealth or power, it is highly concentrated in the hands of the family, and in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan, before flying into the homes of ordinary people, it was also a fine food every day.

Liu Yan, who had suffered from the bondage of the family, hated this kind of thing and bluntly told her military advisors what she thought.

"However, in this situation, where should Shu go?" From the morning to the present, Pang Tong was in a state of fugue, the whole person was confused, and the picture that was played in a loop countless times in his mind was that day, Liu Yan called him into the study alone, asked him about the information in the north, and unilaterally assumed that Cao Pi would steal the country.

Now, the facts are in front of him, Pang Tong's whole person is not good, he has always been known for his IQ, and his brain is a mess at this moment.

He got the information and hurried to find Xu Shu first, but Xu Shu said What are you doing to me about this? You should go to His Highness at this moment!

Pang Tong was relieved only after being prompted, but Xu Shu saw it more clearly than him. Yes, at this time, it was useless for the two of them to discuss behind closed doors. This matter must be brought to Liu Yan and let her make a decision.

When he thought of His Royal Highness, he thought of the conversation between the two in the study that day, and Pang Tong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. His Royal Highness had already predicted, so he lamented that there was not enough time, so he attached great importance to the military affairs in Hanzhong and various places, so he gritted his teeth and hated the family.

Things have already happened, no matter how much you hate, it's useless, it's true to think of countermeasures quickly.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Liu Yan spread her hands: "You are actually like a mirror in your hearts, the other side has already confirmed this matter, the imperial brother Zen throne, the Cao family's accession to the throne is in line with the public opinion of the north." No matter what the reaction of Shu is, it is the next policy. ”

"But Your Highness ......" Pang Tongyi heard Liu Yan say this, and immediately became anxious: "Do you just watch Cao thief steal the country, and then threaten us with the throne?"

"This is inevitable, if it were me, I would take advantage of myself as the new emperor to ascend the throne, invent the decree to ask the south to change course, and even decree that the princess of the previous dynasty be crowned the princess of the new dynasty. In this way, I will be able to unify the north and the south in name, and in the future, when the war is together, I will be the king's master to the south, and the princess in the south will be a traitor and thief, just like his father did back then. ”

"This ...... This...... This ......" Pang Tongyi Lian San, who was not good at words, was scared by Liu Yan and stuttered.

Fortunately, there is also a Xu Shu by his side, and at the critical moment, Xu Shu once again showed his true colors as an "airbag".

Seeing that Pang Tong was so frightened by the disciples that his soul was not possessed, he spoke: "Your Highness, since Your Highness has already predicted it, presumably this countermeasure has been thought of a long time ago, please show it as soon as possible." ”

Liu Yan glanced at Xu Shu, unhappy in her heart, since she separated the relationship between men and women with him, the teacher has really become more and more cold. When I was thinking about freeing others, I didn't think about her as an apprentice at all.

Cao Pi is called the emperor, do you have no idea in your heart? Even if you are a diehard loyalist of the Han family, you didn't dare to think about it before, but now that the matter has happened, you still don't dare to think about it?

You are my military advisor and my teacher, and when Shu is faced with such a major decision-making problem, shouldn't you give me advice and advice? As a result, you didn't even say a word of appeasement, but blamed me for bluffing and intimidating Pang Tong.

Fortunately, Liu Yan has grown up, even if she is unhappy in her heart, and even a little aggrieved, she still pretends to be indifferent, but the words she said made Xu Shu's heart sink: "I have long guessed that Cao Thief will go further, but I haven't thought about what I will do after he goes further, because Shu is too weak now and can't do anything." ”

"Your Highness......" Xu Shu frowned and wanted to speak. Liu Yan took a step forward: "Teacher, senior brother, I am not arrogant, let alone alarmist, the military reserves of Shu have just started, and the military resources are seriously insufficient, this is something that everyone can see on the table, and the north knows this, so I chose this time to weigh the system." ”

"......" Xu Shu lowered his head, realizing that he had said the wrong thing. If it's even more embarrassing, the apprentice didn't say it, but he had already heard it, what the enemy knows about, you, as my teacher and military advisor, not only did you not help me find a way at this time, but instead looked like you shirked your responsibility, is it appropriate?

Pang Tong on the side was even more heartbroken when he saw this, with an expression of a dead lady on his face, and the scene was at an impasse.

"Since the matter has already come out, and the two of you don't have any useful suggestions, it is better to put this matter in the regular meeting. Let's take a closer look. Hongu believes that there will always be a way. Liu Yan didn't want to see two wooden people standing on the stake in front of her, lifting the tea bowl to send off the guests.

When the two of them went out and walked away, Liu Yan snorted heavily, and threw the tea bowl out with her hand: "The teacher is too confused......! I'm so angry with him!"

Outside the door, Yaoqin and Qingzhu guarded left and right, and when they heard the sound of the utensils breaking from the door, they were so frightened that they fell directly to the ground, His Royal Highness was angry a lot, but it was the first time to smash things, I was really angry, I had to be careful today, otherwise I would be cannon fodder.

However, Liu Yan's temper came quickly. Xu Shu and their car left the princess's mansion, and her anger dissipated. But Xu Shu walked out of the door of the princess's mansion with his front foot, and raised his hand with his back foot and slapped it heavily on his head, and a red mark suddenly appeared on his head.

"Old fool! Your Highness said that you are not old, I think you are too old to be used!" Xu Shu scolded himself hatefully, and stumbled the apprentice several times, if this is really your boss, the severed head is enough to eat until the next life!

The friendship between master and apprentice, hazy ripples, but you never dare to respond positively. Since he didn't dare, what qualifications did he have to force her to be tolerant again and again.

"Hey......" Xu Shu sighed into the air, and for the first time the idea of returning to his hometown arose. However, his hometown is a place he can't go back to!

Not to mention that Yingchuan is now under the rule of Cao Wei, the life lawsuit on him alone is enough to make him shy away from his hometown. When he went back, he had no face to see his father, and his fiancée had to come up and fight hard when he saw him?

If you just apply for pension in a county or township under the rule of Shu, it is better not to raise it, and it will definitely be an unfinished heart!

Therefore, the idea of returning to his hometown was also denied by Xu Shu in a second, and instead he wanted to help the apprentices to deal with it, but he wanted to go in the future and get nothing, so he couldn't help but sigh and be depressed.

The regular meeting is approaching in a flash, and the theme of the meeting has been issued by the Prime Minister's Office in the form of an official document a few days ago, so all the officials attending the meeting today are generally preoccupied and worried, and of course there are also those who are upright and ready to make generous speeches. It's just that whether they are worried or excited, the big guys are all blocked at the "north gate".

The "North Gate" is not a door, but a temple in the front yard of the princess's mansion, where officials or visitors usually rest.

The word "North Gate" comes from the Book of Songs, the name of one of the poems. This is one of the few poems that complains about the grievances of officials, and the officials in the poems are oppressed by both their families and superiors, and they are poor and sick, and they have no way to live.

This "North Gate" in the princess's mansion has a special person to serve, eat, drink, and refreshments, pastime has books and chess, and there is an ice tank in summer and a furnace in winter, which is specially designed to comfort those sad officials in "North Gate".

Of course, this name is also used to remind Liu Yan that officials come from the people, and the people's sufferings need to be understood as well as the officials' sufferings, and officials cannot be blindly asked to carry box lunches to learn**.

Corrupt officials and corrupt officials must be severely punished, and the people's public servants must cherish them, and the "North Gate" is one of the material manifestations of cherishing.

It's just that the officials gathered here today, they are not here to enjoy welfare, they are here to talk about the style and even confess to each other. If a sentence is wrong, it is a matter of minutes to hit back to the original shape or even the head to the ground, so be cautious!

Therefore, even if Pang Tong and Xu Shu were late for their own reasons, they thought they were about to be late, but what was waiting for them was a large group of colleagues in the "North Gate" who had no bottom in their hearts.

As soon as the two saw this meeting, they had to pack up their careful thoughts, and seriously deal with the drilling of their colleagues, as the existence of the two top think tanks around the princess, even if they had no bottom in their hearts, they had to hold the field, and they couldn't block the boss anymore.

Pang Tong and Xu Shu finally thought of going together this time. Liu Yan, who was preparing for a meeting inside, learned of this situation and felt much more comfortable. At present, there is something to rely on, and there is no fear of changing the sky!
