What Empress He meant, Liu Xian's heart was very clear.

After all, Liu Xian is well aware of the overall situation of the Han Dynasty today. Therefore, there is no need to say many things, let alone go into too much detail, Liu Xian can know what Queen He thinks.

In general, it is nothing more than being prepared for danger in times of peace, she feels that her position as queen is not stable enough, and she thinks crankily all day long, worrying that the emperor will abolish her position as queen. A woman has fallen out of favor, and clinging to the status of the queen is already a little bit of what she can do. However, for her, how can she secure her position as queen? Then the only way to set his son as the crown prince is to decide. Therefore, all her thoughts revolve around this.

Now Liu Xian clearly told her that her son's position as the crown prince does not need to be rushed, and the more anxious she is, it will be counterproductive. After all, now that the emperor is only young and strong, she is already equal to the so-called queen who has been beaten into the cold palace, and she still wants to jump up in the palace and the court? The more she does, the more wrong she becomes, and when the emperor catches her handle, then she will be abolished as a matter of course.

Even if she is not abolished, if she is evil, the emperor will not be able to abolish her directly due to the pressure of the court. But she and her son can be sent away, such as to Chang'an, or her son's fief. If she is sent away, then the future emperorship will have nothing to do with her son.

Liu Xian knows a little about these situations. Even if the queen is still a little unwilling, she also promised to be patient for the time being and will not make any more moves.

She also agreed, she would pay close attention to some movements in the palace, and if there was any news and intelligence that was unfavorable to Liu Xian, she would immediately notify Liu Xian and let Liu Xian take a good countermeasure.

Now, she only needs to wait, or look forward to it, and under the condition that it will not affect her, secretly assist Liu Xian, so that Liu Xian can grow up as soon as possible, at least until Liu Xian has a certain influence in the Han Dynasty, and then Liu Xian can help her.

As for Liu Xian, he doesn't know if reaching a cooperation agreement with the queen will help him for the time being, but this help is not in vain, anyway, Liu Xian knows that in another three or four years, the emperor will die young, and when the time comes, her son will indeed become the emperor, although it is only a few months. In other words, Liu Xian didn't have to do anything at all, but he could get the queen's secret support.

That's a good thing.

The queen did not stay long and returned to the palace.

When she came, the queen was very worried, although she couldn't see anything on the surface, but she was really panicked in her heart. But when she returned to the palace this time, she felt an indescribable sense of relief all over her body.

This situation is like a person who has fallen into the water and finally grasped a life-saving straw. finally has someone who can help her, although he didn't do anything for her, but he analyzed the situation with her and let her know what she should do when she follows.

Ma Guiren really has no heels in the capital, she sent out a lot of invitations, but the real status of the basic did not come, even if they came, they all sent people to send a simple congratulatory gift, and some even left without even drinking.

There is no way to do this, Ma Guiren's identity is sensitive, even if the emperor has summoned her and Liu Xian, no one wants to have deeper contacts with Ma Guiren and Liu Xian.

But regardless of whether or not heavyweights came, the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion was indeed very lively on this day, and the flowing water banquet was held until night.

After Liu Xian came to Luoyang, Liu Xian invited all the soldiers who guarded the city to defend the city. Originally, General Gaili was invited, but he did not come, but Captain Huang Lin, who provided the timber camp of the Liu Mansion caravan outside the city, came, and Wu Shang Dubo came with him.

Liu Xian drank a lot of wine with them, and the relationship with them has deepened to a certain extent. Having a good relationship with them, the city defenders, can also make it more convenient for Liu Xian to do things in Luoyang.

After almost sending all the guests away, the subordinates of the Marquis Wuyong Mansion began to clean up, so many people were lively for a day, and some places really had to be cleaned.

At this time, Ma Guiren sent Xiao Tao to call Liu Xian to a side room.

In the room, there is another person besides Ma Guiren.

"Xian'er, the guests are almost gone, right? Come, let me introduce you. ”

When Ma Guiren saw Liu Xian coming, he said: "He is also a chamberlain in the palace, called Min Gong." ”

"Min Gong?" Liu Xian heard this name, vaguely felt a little familiar, and hurriedly tried to memorize some information about the Three Kingdoms.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Xian was a little clear. It turns out that this Min Gong is also a famous person in history, and it is known that the palace was in turmoil later, and the young emperor fled from the palace.

"Liu Xian greets Lord Min."

Liu Xian bowed down first.

"Little Marquis...... No, young master, we are our own family, so we don't need to be so polite. Seeing this, Min Gong quickly jumped aside, and then knelt down.

"Young master?" Liu Xian looked at him and asked suspiciously.

Min Gong is a eunuch in the palace, an inner attendant, with no beard on his face, and he looks like he is in his fifties.

Ma Guiren said to Liu Xian: "Lord Min Gong has been in the palace for twenty or thirty years. However, it has not been obvious that when the first emperor was there, Lord Min Gong made some trivial things, and he was about to be driven out of the palace, but it happened that the king of Pingyuan was in Beijing, and he ran into it, and it was the king of Pingyuan who spoke for him and calmed down his affairs. Subsequently, Min Gong has always regarded the king of the plains as the main one. After the death of the king of the plains, he also often sent letters to the palace of the plains, telling him some things in the capital. Now you are the righteous son of this noble man, the young master of the plain palace, so he calls you the lord. ”

Liu Xian was a little stunned, he didn't know that there was such a thing. I really didn't expect that this Min Gong turned out to be a person from the Plains Palace.

"Lord Min Gong, please get up quickly." Liu Xian stepped forward and helped Min Gong up.

Min Gong is just one of the many chamberlains in the palace, and it's really nothing, the reason why he left his name on the calendar is that he saved the young emperor early, if there is no such thing, who knows who he is?

However, no matter what, it is naturally better to have one of its own people in the palace.

"The relationship between Min Gong and our Plains Royal Mansion is a secret, so he also came quietly, and he just wants to meet you." Ma Guiren said again.

"Ma Guiren, young master, you must be careful, the emperor is indeed bent on putting you to death, and in addition, the ten permanent servants in the palace will also help the emperor murder you. I came today to remind the young master. Min Gong said solemnly.

"Thank you, Lord Min, for the reminder, I know it, and I've always been on guard."

"That's fine, be careful. If the people in the palace have any actions against the young master, Min will also notify you as soon as possible. In addition, if it's okay, don't enter the palace casually, especially if you can't enter the palace alone. I'm afraid that they will do it in the palace. ”

"Okay." Liu Xian nodded, indicating that he would be careful.

After getting to know Min Gong, he didn't say anything for the time being, and he left in a hurry. It is estimated that he also secretly left the palace.

In addition, Liu Xian sensed that Min Gong had internal force fluctuations, and it was estimated that he was also a military general, at least a third-rate military general. It's no wonder that he was able to save the young emperor later.

Marquis Wuyong's mansion set up a banquet, and Liu Xian's harvest was that he became a partner with the queen, and there was one more palace attendant to provide him with news in the palace. In addition, there are also several children of the remnants of the former emperor, three or four of them are worthy of Liu Xian's befriending, and if it is suitable, they can also be taken for their own use. 000 Literature

This is the end of the matter.

Next, Ma Guiren once again proposed to let Liu Xian, Kong Xue and Cai Yan get married. After discussion, Liu Xian felt that he could bring them to the capital. However, this also has to be sent to the letter Kong Rong and Cai Yong to ask for their opinions. If they agree, then they can send someone else to escort them to the capital.

But Liu Xian felt that they might not agree. Kong Rong is tantamount to fleeing the capital, how could he let his daughter come to this dangerous Luoyang capital again? Cai Yong was also exiled by the emperor, including his daughter, and his daughter could not enter Beijing without the emperor's pardon. If the emperor or those enemies know, it will also be unfavorable to Cai Yan.

Liu Xian himself is not in a hurry about getting married, after all, Liu Xian feels that he is only seventeen years old, and sometimes he looks in a bronze mirror, although he does not think that he is still a minor teenager in temperament, but he does look a little young, which makes Liu Xian feel a little weird.

This matter has not yet been decided, but there are many things that have been decided.

One, it is the matter of recruiting guards for the Plains Royal Mansion and the Marquis of Wuyong's Mansion, this can be started.

The other is to buy shops and other properties in the city, and prepare to sell the goods brought by these merchants.

The Liu Mansion caravan is indeed not suitable for staying in Luoyang for a long time, the entire caravan is thousands of people, and their stay outside Luoyang City is equivalent to eating and living for nothing, and they cannot generate any benefits for Liu Xian.

Don't look at Liu Xian's flowering in the middle of the country, buying industries everywhere and opening all kinds of shops, but the money has been spent, and there is not much money to be returned for the time being.

The Liu Mansion caravan stayed here, so it was better to take a few more trips. Therefore, Liu Xian believes that it is necessary to open a shop as soon as possible.

The key point is that Liu Xian believes that the time is ripe now. The emperor summoned him, although he was indeed uneasy and kind, but Liu Xian could do things in these names. The younger brother of the emperor himself said it today, on the surface, who dares to provoke himself?

What's more, after Liu Xian has a legitimate private soldier on hand, he can protect his vested interests well.

The recruitment of guards from the two prefectures could be carried out together, and Liu Xian decided to recruit them for the entire Luoyang capital.

There is a limit to the number of guards, and only 600 people can be recruited in total. Therefore, Liu Xian decided that everyone must have elite soldiers, and everyone must have the ability to be ten with one.

Each one, Liu Xian had to personally select and test. It would be best if you could meet someone who had cultivated the true qi of internal strength.

Of course, you also have to look at the character, after all, this private soldier will become Liu Xian's real personal soldier in the future. It will be with Liu Xian for a long time.

Liu Xian asked Shan Yong, Li Yuan and others to copy some notices for recruiting guards and asked people to post them all over Luoyang.

The Plains Palace, the Marquis of Wuyong's Mansion recruited guards and soldiers, and the treatment was equivalent to that of the palace forbidden army. These are paid by the imperial court, and they do not need to be spent by Liu Xian himself.

Soon, in less than three days, the entire Luoyang capital knew about it.

Don't look at Luoyang looks extremely prosperous, in fact, the life of the people at the bottom is extremely difficult, especially after the chaos in the world last year, Luoyang City has a lot of displaced people from all over the world.

Until now, there are still some places where displaced people gather in and around the city.

Liu Xian only recruited 600 guards and soldiers, and there was no restriction on their background, so many people among the displaced people also came to sign up.

Three days after the recruitment notice is posted.

On this day, outside the mansion of Marquis Wu Yong, there were many people gathered, blocking the streets outside the mansion.

It's bustling, I'm afraid there are thousands if there are not 10,000, you know, Liu Xian only plans to recruit 600 people. In addition, this is only temporary, and there are still people coming one after another.

"Today, the Liu Mansion, that is, the Marquis of Wuyong's Mansion, officially recruits guards and soldiers, and the conditions have been clearly stated on the notice. If it is suitable, come and line up, come one by one, and our Marquis Wu Yong will personally choose the suitable one among you. ”

Zheng Bo stood in front of the gate of the mansion and shouted.

"Don't crowd, don't argue, all line up, whoever cuts the queue will be eliminated immediately!"

A lot of people are very messy, and all of them want to be selected, and when they hear that recruitment is starting, they all want to be in the front.

The caravan guards who came into the city with Liu Xian had to come out to maintain order at this time.

Soon, the crowd fell silent.

Liu Xian walked out of the mansion and stood on the steps in front of the mansion.

There is a mandatory age requirement for recruiting guards, 16 to 30 years old. Liu Xian plans that after he breaks through to the realm of second-rate generals, he can manufacture generals in batches. Therefore, if he is too old, he will definitely not be able to, and if he is over thirty years old, even if he helps him become a quasi-general, it is the limit of their potential. If you can, the younger the better.

Of course, it's not okay to be too young, because Liu Xian doesn't have time to train them from an early age.

"This is Liu Xian, the Marquis of Wuyong, and he is also the lord of our group." When Uncle Zheng saw Liu Xian coming out, he introduced it loudly.

"The grass people have seen the Marquis of Wuyong!"

The people in front of him also quickly knelt down and bowed.

Liu Xian saw too many people, and it was unlikely that he would be able to pick them one by one.

After thinking about it, he said: "Brothers, thank you for actively coming to enlist the guards of the Marquis of Wuyong's mansion, however, our Han laws stipulate that individuals cannot have too many personal soldiers. Therefore, only 600 people can be recruited from among you. So, let's divide it first. ”

"Those who have enlisted in the army, please stand on the left, if you have practiced martial arts, stand in front, and the rest stand on the right."

After Liu Xian's words were issued, thousands of people were quickly separated.

But most of them stood on the right, and only a few stood in front.
