For ordinary people, it is very difficult for them to reach the real powerful people.

In their minds, Liu Xian was no different from those high-ranking rich and noble families, but they didn't expect Liu Xian to be so approachable and enthusiastic about them.

In this way, the cramped and cautious tense state they entered the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion slowly relaxed. It was also at this time that they dared to send their congratulatory gifts to Liu Xian.

Different from the guests who generally have status and are from rich backgrounds, those people generally give congratulatory gifts with certain value, such as calligraphy and painting, porcelain, exquisite jade, precious wood furniture and so on. But these neighbors, they just send some more ordinary things, a basket of fruits or eggs, etc.

Maybe it's because they give these congratulatory gifts, and some of them can't take it, so they seem a little cramped. But Liu Xian didn't mind, and even said that they were polite, and then generously let his subordinates accept it and express his gratitude to them one by one.

Then, Liu Xian asked his subordinates to take them to visit his mansion, told his subordinates to arrange a banquet for them in a while, and told them that even in normal times, they were welcome to come to the Marquis Wuyong's mansion as guests, and between neighbors, everyone should walk around each other.

Liu Xian has always felt that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang, in addition to establishing his own upper-level relationship network, the most important thing is to have a mass foundation, and no matter when, it is beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship with the broad masses of the people.

Liu Xian also had a plan for a long time, and he had to ask Shan Yong and Li Yuan to set up a secret propaganda department, and set up a special group, so that the manpower of this group would be responsible for secretly promoting his reputation for himself.

For example, his own background and various deeds he has done in Yangshi County and Liulin Village are spread among the ordinary people of Luoyang through this group. Then let the people of Luoyang realize themselves very intuitively. Let them all know that Liu Xian is such a person, who saved tens of thousands of people in Yangshi County by himself, and now relies on Liu Xian to let hundreds of thousands of people survive better.

For example, why was Liu Xian named Marquis of Wuyong by the imperial court? It turned out that Liu Xian actually defeated the Yellow Turban Army and killed the big leader of the Yellow Turban Army.

Anyway, as long as it is good for Liu Xian's reputation and reputation, he can let this person from the secret propaganda department quietly publicize it among the people of Luoyang.

In the future, it is best to achieve such a situation, that is, when there is difficulty, the first person that the people of Luoyang can think of is Liu Xian.

Soon, in addition to the special banquet in the main hall, some banquets in the side hall can be opened. The time also passed slowly, and it was almost noon.

During this period, guests of some real weight also came one after another.

In fact, Ma Guiren sent invitations to many court ministers, but basically they would not come. After all, Ma Guiren's identity is indeed a little sensitive, even if the emperor summoned Ma Guiren and Liu Xian, and called Liu Xian the royal brother in the court, but the emperor finally did not officially establish the identity of Liu Xian's royal brother. This, let the courtiers in the court understand a little, knowing that the emperor has always been afraid of Ma Guiren and Liu Xian, which is polite to Ma Guiren and Liu Xian on the surface, but it is just a show in front of their ministers, and it is a real favor Liu Xian.

Therefore, such as those three princes and nine ministers of the imperial court, etc., they will definitely not come in person.

In addition, the nobles of the Plains Palace, this is indeed only a name, in fact, there is no power position at all, and there is no benefit for them at all. Therefore, there is no need to come to Ma Guiren and Liu Xian.

Only a few, such as Taiwei Yuan Kui and others, are indeed the relics of the first emperor, and they just let their subordinates send congratulatory gifts, even if they do, they just don't want to lose the due number of courtesies.

Liu Xian was not disappointed, in Liu Xian's heart, he didn't want to make friends with the courtiers.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Just when Liu Xian was accompanying Ma Guiren and getting to know a few sons in their twenties, a report came from outside.

These sons are the descendants of some courtiers from the time of the first emperor, and now they are just guys who enjoy the blessings of their fathers. Liu Xian had never heard of it, and Liu Xian found that they actually dared to draw a big cake in front of Ma Guiren, and swore that they were willing to follow Ma Guiren's orders in the future.

That's what they mean. But Liu Xian just wanted to scold his mother when he heard it. These guys, how can He De influence the imperial court? Even if their parents were still there, it would be impossible.

The queen really came to congratulate in person, Liu Xian's spirit was shocked, although this Queen He is just a tragedy in the three kingdoms, although you are the mother of the queen and a country, but the history has a poor reputation for him, and the ending is relatively miserable, it belongs to the kind of nominally very important, but in fact it is just an insignificant character.

She and her son, who were the queen mother and the young emperor, were abolished by Dong Zhuo, and were poisoned to death. It can be said that she died a more aggrieved death, the mother of a dignified country, and the queen mother, died at the hands of a chaotic minister and thief.

Or, the poor person must have something to hate, Liu Xian in later generations, when he studied the character of Empress He, he did not have too much regret for her death, because some of her actions had doomed her to the end.

Her origins, or perhaps have already decided her fate. Limited to her vision, so there's really nothing to say.

Now that he has been favored by the emperor, he is too jealous and his methods are too vicious. But this viciousness is misplaced, no matter what, it shouldn't be poisoned against Wang Meiren. Later, He Jin planned to do something to the eunuchs in the palace, but she did not express her support for a long time, but was deceived by the eunuchs in the palace and summoned He Jin into the palace, so that He Jin suffered from the poisonous hands of the ten permanent servants.

A stupid woman.

The only thing that is commendable is that this Empress He is indeed naturally beautiful, and the woman who was able to charm the emperor and make the emperor favored by the emperor is at least the best in the world.

When Liu Xian heard that Queen He was coming, the first thing he wanted to see was how beautiful this queen was, and who was better than Ma Guiren?

Ma Guiren is now about thirty years old, while Queen He is much younger, that is, around twenty-seven or eight years old.

In Liu Xian's eyes, Ma Guiren is a well-ripened dignified and charming beauty, and she is the type of super royal sister who belongs to the queen level. But what about this Queen Ho?

"The queen is here, hurry, Xian'er, let's go to meet the queen phoenix." Ma Guiren naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly left the young guests and pulled Liu Xian out of the house to greet him.

The queen's carriage had stopped in front of the gate of Marquis Wuyong's mansion, and of course, there were many forbidden soldiers guarding it.

Around the carriage, there are many chamberlains and palace maids.

The queen traveled, and on behalf of the emperor, came to congratulate the establishment of the Marquis Wuyong's mansion, many etiquette matters, and safety matters cannot be sloppy. Especially the fact that the queen left the palace to congratulate others on the establishment of the mansion is the first time.

In front of the Marquis Wu Yong's mansion, around the street, there were already some people who watched the excitement, and they all wanted to see with their own eyes what the legendary queen was like.

The emperor and empress are in the deep palace all the year round, they are all high-ranking figures, where can ordinary people have the opportunity to see them?

Of course, it's not that the emperor and empress haven't been out of the palace, it's just that when they leave the palace, they will definitely not know. This is a rare opportunity to meet the Queen.

How noble is the Queen?

How beautiful is the Queen?

Why did the queen come to this Marquis Wuyong's mansion?

Who is this Marquis Wu Yong?

These are all things that the onlookers want to know about the melon-eating masses.

A natural gossip heart, ancient and modern.

"The Plains Palace, the Ma Clan, welcomes the Empress Chitose Chitose!"

"Wu Yonghou Liu Xian greets the queen!"

"Aunt Wang, don't be polite. And also...... Brother Liu Xian, right? Get up, I really didn't expect you to be so young, not a few years older than the queen of the future. ”

The curtain of the phoenix carriage was opened, revealing the queen sitting in the carriage.

She was dressed in palace clothes, and as she spoke, she stood up and slowly stepped out of the carriage with the support of a palace maid.

She also deliberately looked at Liu Xian, a little surprised by Liu Xian's youth.

In fact, her son, the later Young Emperor Liu Bian, was born in 176, and now he is 185 years old, that is, nine years old. Liu Xian is already seventeen years old, which is actually much less than Liu Xian, but it is not wrong to say that he is a few years older than his son, after all, he is eight years older and how old he is.

The queen is now deeply hated by the emperor, and what she relies on is her son Liu Yan, which is the value of the mother and the son. For her, her son is her future, so whenever she wants, she will mention her son, as if to remind others that her son is the first heir to the emperor's throne.

Of course, although nominally, the empress's son is indeed the emperor's first heir to the throne. However, because the empress was deeply hated by the emperor, she directly affected the canonization of the crown prince. One day his son did not become the crown prince, so he did not dare to say that the future emperor would be his son's. Therefore, the queen actually wants to operate and wants the emperor to make her son the crown prince as soon as possible, only in this way can she feel at ease.

It's a pity that her status in the palace has seriously declined, and although she is now said to be the queen, she actually has no real power in the palace.

She is in the palace, and her usual actions are actually not so free.

How does she function in such a situation?

Also, in the eyes of others, there are places that are incredible. For example, the queen and her brother He Jin, the combination of this brother and sister is actually the same as Empress Dou and her brother Dou Wu during the first emperor period, right?

One is the queen, and the other is the general of the dynasty. Such a combination is indeed already powerful in the world, and the power has shocked the government and the opposition. At this juncture, the queen and the general put pressure on the emperor to make the queen's son the crown prince, which should be a logical thing.

In reality, however, this is not the case.

Because, Queen He and He Jin, the two brothers and sisters, are themselves full of contradictions, and the brothers and sisters are not harmonious.

In fact, this is also limited to their origins and limits their horizons.

He Jin and Queen He are actually just half-brothers and sisters, and the relationship between these half-brothers and sisters has always been incompatible. And, between them, there is also a half-brother, He Miao, He Miao's original name is Zhu Miao, and he remarried with his mother and changed his surname to He.

Queen He has a better relationship with her half-brother Zhu Miao, but she is more estranged from her half-brother He Jin.

In the average family, the relationship between this estranged relative is obvious. Or that's the case with people in general. He Jin is the son of the He family, he naturally doesn't want another younger brother who has nothing to do with him to rob him of the family property, and by the way, even this sister is not very pleasing to the eye, and it is certain to oppress them.

But later this sister was sent to the palace, and she actually won the favor of the emperor and gave birth to a son for the emperor. In this way, He Jin picked up this sister's thigh, and then his old father rotated it from it, so that He Jin was able to come out and become an official.

After all, He Jin is his father's own flesh and blood, He Miao is just an adopted son and stepson, emotionally, He Jin's father must be inclined to He Jin.

But He Jin went out, but he suppressed He Miao and prevented He Miao from entering the court as an official, such a small action also made the queen angry, so that the two brothers and sisters were not very harmonious.

The queen also wanted to make her son the crown prince, so she asked He Jin to put pressure on the emperor in the court, but He Jin didn't pay attention to it. This also made the queen feel that this brother was too untrustworthy and unreliable.
