Chapter 3 Crisis Awareness

It's really providence! As a descendant of the Han family and the emperor, he can't use his identity, and he is still the kind that dies when he sees the light, what nonsense!

After the rebellion? It's a joke!

If it was not Empress Dou Miao and her brother Dou Wu who controlled the court in the Han Dynasty, then Liu Kui would be the emperor, and he would be the prince or even the crown prince.

However, this is also the norm of the Han Dynasty, and the power of the Han Dynasty has always been basically in the hands of those eunuchs or relatives. Most of the emperors of the Han Dynasty were puppets who were supported by their ministers when they were children, and even during their reigns, they were corpses and vegetarians, controlled by others, and did nothing.

Isn't that the case in today's Han court? In the current imperial court, the eunuchs headed by Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants and the relatives headed by General He Jin are in power.

Liu Xian felt that with his father's ability, even if he really returned to the capital with the edict of the first emperor, I am afraid that he would not be able to be the emperor, but would die earlier and faster.

Forget it, what kind of identity, what kind of name, or what kind of emperor's edict, it's all useless. The key is that you still have to look at your own ability and strength, and you have to rely on yourself for everything.

Liu Xian didn't think much about it and put these down in advance.

After coming out of his mother's small attic, he didn't find Uncle Zheng, but found Xiaojing, who was busy in the dining room.

This little girl, her eyes were red, and she was in tears as she cooked the food. She told Liu Xian that Uncle Zheng had left Liu's Mansion to report the funeral to the village chief of Liulin Village.

In ancient times, the general village, the village chief and those clan elders had a very high prestige in the village. No matter which family has a happy event or a white event, they will be informed first, and they will be invited to preside over some ritual affairs.

The Han Dynasty puts filial piety first and pays attention to etiquette, righteousness and etiquette.

There is also a saying that the deceased is the greatest, Liu Xian knew that his mother was also a famous "lady" in Liulin Village before her death. Therefore, normally speaking, her funeral cannot be handled in a hurry.

My body was still a little weak, and I was a little out of breath when I walked down from my mother's attic. But my heart was blocked, and I didn't have any appetite, so I ate some things casually and regained some strength.

Then Liu Xian walked to the front hall of his house, sat on the main seat in the hall, and waited for Uncle Zheng to come back.

This home, Liu's Mansion, is both strange and familiar, Liu Xian doesn't have to go through it in person, every grass and tree in the house is in his mind.

This is when Liu Kui learned that the Liang family gave birth to a son for him, he specially sent someone to Liulin Village to build a three-entry garden mansion for the Liang family and son. Back then, the Liang family was not officially married, but after giving birth to Liu Xian, it was a little inappropriate to live in her mother's house.

The whole Liu Mansion is surrounded by a wall of about two meters, and there is a plaque on the gate of the Liu Mansion from north to south.

This can be regarded as Liu Kui's façade in order to support the Liang family back then, and she lived in this Liu Mansion, which is equivalent to making it public that she is a member of the Liu family. In ancient times, when a woman gave birth to a child out of wedlock, she would be looked down upon and looked down upon.

This is also in the Han Dynasty, the atmosphere is slightly more open, if it is the Song and Ming dynasties, women have children out of wedlock, I am afraid that they will be kicked out of the house by their parents.

Liu's Mansion is the largest chic building in Liulin Village.

The gate to enter Liu's Mansion is a small garden, and the main house is facing the gate, and the hall is located here, mainly for welcoming guests. On both sides of the garden in front of the hall are extended houses, where male subordinates like Zheng Bo live.

Behind the main house, there is the Erjin courtyard, which is the residence of entertaining guests and female subordinates like Xiaojing, as well as the place where Liu's dining room is located. Then there is the Sanjin courtyard, which is larger, a large garden with a zigzag corridor, and a pavilion, and a small artificial pond in the middle, in which some lotus flowers are planted and some carp are raised. On both sides of the large garden is a courtyard similar to a courtyard house, each with a small pavilion. A small courtyard is Liu Xian's residence, and the other is Liu Xian's mother's residence.

This is the general layout of Liu's mansion, and it is Liu Xian's current home.

We can be regarded as people who have a house, and it is still a manor-style residence with a huge area. Liu Xian thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the postmodern era, aside from the ancestral house that has long been inhabitable, Liu Xian is a person who has no real estate, and if he wants to buy a house in a first-tier city, he may not be able to afford it for a lifetime without eating or drinking.

This has crossed, the house is there, there is a loyal servant and a personal little girl, this God is not thin on himself.

In fact, if there is a large Liu Mansion, there is not only this one loyal servant and one maid ring.

Earlier, the Liu Mansion had hired more than a dozen caretakers, as well as two or three women who did chores and three or four maids like Xiaojing.

But when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, a few caretakers immediately ran to become the Yellow Turban Army, and they should have been members of the Taiping Dao for a long time. There were also a few family men who wanted to go home and see, but they never returned, as did the women and the hired maids. There were less than ten people left.

Subsequently, Liulin Village was also plundered by the wandering Yellow Turban soldiers, and a garden house like Liufu looked like a large family, with plenty of oil and water, so it naturally became the focus of those thieves and soldiers. The rest of the nursing home was injured to protect Liu's mansion. In the end, it was Liu Xianniang who paid a lot of money and food to let those yellow turban thieves leave. Soon after, officers and soldiers came here, and they scattered a lot of their wealth. The remaining few injured nurses, fearing that Liu's mansion would be robbed again, also received their wages and went home.

In this way, now up and down the Liu Mansion, only Zheng Feng and Xiaojing are left. The whole Liu Mansion is now deserted, and the garden has not been cleaned for many days, covered with dead leaves, and it is bleak in the cold wind.

In fact, not only Liufu, but the entire Liulin Village is now in a state of gloom and misery.

Liulin Village is a large village, with more than 200 households and a population of more than 1,000, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small town. At one time, Liulin Village was also a well-known village in the vicinity. However, after the turmoil, most of the villagers are now only some old and weak women and children, and the population is still about 300 at most.

The entire Liulin Village has presented a dilapidated and dilapidated depression scene.

Alas, today's world is really not very peaceful......

Liu Xian thought of the current situation outside from his home, and as soon as he sighed, he couldn't help but be shocked, and Huo Di stood up.

This is special, the troubled times of this big man have just begun, and he is now in this troubled times, and this Liulin Village also belongs to the jurisdiction of Julu County, and belongs to the center of the whirlpool of this chaos.

It is even more dangerous for me to guard such a big house that is equivalent to the garden villa style of later generations.

This is like a child holding a large piece of gold, and he is not able to protect it, but he will be guilty of it, and he will lose his life because of it.

Liu Xian feels that he is in such a situation now.

If Liulin Village is robbed again, then his family will definitely bear the brunt!

Liu Xian scolded himself secretly, at the moment, he didn't want to think about anything to restore the identity of the Han family, let alone to regain the throne and restore the orthodoxy of Dajiang. It is not to handle his mother's funeral, but to think about his own situation first, and how he will survive in this troubled world.

Now, whether it is the Yellow Turban thieves or the officers and soldiers, this is a great threat to Liu Xian.

I only have an old servant and a little girl at home now, when there are really thieves breaking in, what should I do then? Who will protect their lives?

He is not a martial arts master, not those super fierce generals who can fight ten at a time, not to mention that with his weak body now, let alone ten fights, he will fall down if he is touched.

No, you have to do something, you have to be prepared.

In fact, the current situation of the Liu Mansion has been maintained for a period of time, and it has not been patronized by thieves in recent times, which is already a great luck in misfortune.

In any case, you must have this sense of distress, and you have to do something to seek self-preservation.

You have to have people under your command, and you have to have soldiers and power!

Liu Xian's mind was spinning rapidly, and he shouted to the back of the hall: "Xiaojing, Jing'er, come quickly!" ”

After a while, Xiaojing hurriedly came out of the back room.

"Childe, what do you command?"

"Quick, go and call Uncle Zheng back......"

"Young master! The old slave came back, and just happened to meet the village chief and several villagers on the road who wanted to bury some villagers who had fallen ill and died in the village overnight......"

As soon as Liu Xian's words fell, Zheng Bo walked in with an old man and a few villagers.
