At the end of late spring, it was warm and cold.

The palace of the king of thistle, the curtain hangs low. The thistle king and the princess lay on each other's arms, quietly listening to each other's heartbeats.

The princess buried her head in the chest of the thistle, and the fever in her ears had not subsided, and it was hot like fire.

When she was a teenager, the princess was in a long state, and she often asked questions from a high position. Liu Bei is small and strong, and often bows his head and ears and raises his head to answer.

Now he is eight feet long and heroic. Reach out and take the princess into your arms. The two fell in love because of love. Rao is a different side of the sky, I haven't seen each other for many years, and I have never been tired. The princess is suitable for movement and quiet, and is good at nourishing qi. For many years, one body and two masters, the two swords have been combined, nourishing a fairy-like character. He was also cared for by the king of thistles, and watered day and night. Nowadays, it is more and more restrained. It's like a fairy.

"Husband?" After a long time, the princess, who had regained some strength, leaned on Liu Bei's chest and spoke softly.

"Yes." Liu Bei looked up at the edge of the tent and the curtain, enjoying the refreshing and throbbing warmth from time to time.

"It's been a long time to make peace with the ceremony, but because of me?" The princess was not called a "concubine".

"Definitely." Liu Bei sighed lightly: "The so-called beautiful and delicious." When faced with delicious food, everyone will salivate. However, when I ate it, I found that my stomach was full and there was nowhere to put it. ”

"The husband has nowhere to put it, but is it right and wrong?"

Liu Bei nodded lightly and confided in his heart: "Don't hide it from Mrs., all the four major mansions have letters delivered." In other words, peace with the 55 countries of the Western Regions is a matter of the Han Dynasty, and it is better to do it sooner rather than later. Among them, the interests are concerned, and the gains and losses of all parties, how can I not know? However, when I thought of the calculation of gains and losses involved in marriage, the interests were reluctant. I feel ashamed of you. I often think in my heart, if you are as innocent as you, how can you be entangled with this world, day and night. ”

"Husband, have you forgotten that I am also an ordinary man. When he was young, he studied art in the mountains, and Yicheng went to Luoyang, and what he sought was just a common name. If it weren't for my husband and I for many years, I would wake up from a dream. Where is this peaceful and stable time today? Gongsun also expressed his heart: "The husband has the world in his heart and wants to save the people from fire and water. personal gains and losses, and can be compared with Jiangshan Sheji. I heard that Luoyang is in the world, but it is only a hundred miles, and it is difficult to make a difference. Chang'an is the land of Longxing. It didn't cost a single soldier to get fifty-five countries in the Western Regions, which was regarded as a barrier. Sanfu is prosperous, just around the corner. And the Liangbei people, the Xiongnu Tu Ge, the Huangzhong Yicong, and the eight kinds of Xiqiang, are all male soldiers in the world, if the husband can collect it for his own use, why worry about the uncertain world? ”

After a slight pause, the princess said again: "The Han and Qiang barbarians of the Ji Kingdom have been living together for a long time. They have been a family for generations, and they have become a family within three generations. The world is the same, and the Han Dynasty no longer has the difficulty of aliens. At that time, my husband and I rode a light boat or a horse, and traveled together in this peaceful world. ”

Liu Bei nodded lightly: "Madame's heart, I already know everything for my husband." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei was indifferent. Suddenly, the princess's eyes were full of spring water: "Time is not with me, why don't you withdraw?" ”

Liu Bei smiled and asked, "Since Madame is on top, why don't you withdraw first?" ”

Gongsun's family is lonely and helpless, and his life hangs by a thread. He is also virtuous and righteous. Accompanied by Liu Bei, he has come to this day. In the past, today, like a person drinking water, he knows his own warmth and coldness. Seon lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing.

Zhuangzi said: "Safety and danger are easy, good and bad are born together, alleviate friction, gather and disperse." This name can be recorded, and the subtlety can be aspired. ”

The princess gave birth to her eldest son, Liu Feng, who is the first heir to the Ji Kingdom. If one day Liu Beijun comes to the world. Why should you be like Your Majesty, worrying about the usurpation of power by your relatives all day long. Of course, as Liu Bei, who has always been prepared, complete institutional constraints are also the key.

Before the rice cultivation began. The polders that were not completed in winter are just in time for spring. The land of nine rivers in the country of thistle is abundant and watery. The territory is full of servals, and there are floods from time to time. If you plant grains, you often don't harvest them. After switching to rice, the yield is abundant every year.

Changing dry land into paddy fields is the first national policy of the people's livelihood in the country. The second is the Han and Hu mixed settlements, the withdrawal of villages and the merger of villages, and so on.

Let the millions of people who fled into the country of Ji be able to become self-sufficient as soon as possible and no longer empty their food reserves. It's also a matter of life and death. After the beginning of spring, the war disaster broke out suddenly, and the land transportation had long been cut off, so the number of refugee ships that fled by boat and went north to the Bohai Sea and docked at Quanzhou Port increased day by day. The high-ranking officials and sectarians of the Ji Kingdom, the refugees from the whole family, are far more than Zhong Xuan's family.

After many inspections, it was confirmed that it was correct, and he moved to the outer city of Linxiang. The outer city houses have also been built long ago. Ready to eat when you open the lid and ready to use when you open the door. It's very convenient.

Or say. The rumor that "the family used the yellow turban to wash the floor" can be put to rest. In this thief rebellion, the Kanto Haoqiang bore the brunt and suffered deeply. The fort outside the city was breached first, and the yellow turban thieves burned and plundered, and the victims of the tribe abounded. All kinds of atrocities are outrageous. Many powerful clans avoided the deep mountains and Daze, and even if they died in the mouth of the beast, they did not dare to show their faces easily. There is a way to be harsh and fiercer than a tiger. The Yellow Turban Thief is ten times more harsh than the government. Even more, the yellow turban thieves only talk about the head, regardless of the property. More than 100 members of the family were also slaughtered. How to be reasonable.

The deeper the oppression, the fiercer the resistance. Thinking of those peasants who had been hostage to their wives and beards, and when they were eating with their children, they held steel knives and broke through Haoqiangwu Fort. In the face of Haoqiang's wife and daughter, ordinary people can't imagine how they will be violent.

In a word, this is His Majesty's desire to use the hands of the Yellow Turban anti-thieves to wash the Kanto wealthy clan in blood. Unexpectedly, the war dragged on, and it was far beyond His Majesty's control.

In fact, there is still a difference between Haoqiang and the family. For example, Chen Yu's house, the literary style is prosperous, and the township has a good name, so it can naturally be called a family. However, it is not strong. If you put it in detail, it can be simply understood: the family and the strong are the difference between "literary heroes" and "local tyrants".

Several masterminds of the Ji Kingdom thought that the reason why His Majesty dared to sit back and watch the rapid growth of Taiping Dao was that he even knew that it would be reversed. Because Your Majesty may think that he has a chance to win. In other words, His Majesty thinks that he can play with the great sages and good teachers in the palm of his hand, and has the thunderous means to strangle the Yellow Turban thieves at any time.

Capture the thief and capture the king.

If you can cut off the Yellow Turban Rebellion that spread throughout the territory in one fell swoop, your majesty will definitely be an assassin.

Your Majesty may have already buried a shadow beside the great sage and good teacher. All you need to do is strike with a single blow if necessary. The Yellow Turban Army will inevitably collapse in an instant.

This tactic has been tried and tested against violent organizations such as ignorant nomads, fanatical believers, angry thugs, and so on, who are above the secular imperial power.

This is possible. As the middle and regular servant of the Yellow Turban, he should make great contributions. As for Yongxiang Ling Xu Feng, who wanted to poison Liu Bei with red pills, judging from the available information, he was indeed a Taiping Dao Neiying who was loyal to the great sage and good teacher. The matter of poisoning Liu Bei should have nothing to do with His Majesty and the Empress.

His Majesty's harem is more than 10,000 people. With such a scale, it has caught up with the first emperor. Liu Bei couldn't reach it. Most of the cost comes from the West Garden Wanjin Hall. His Majesty spends his own money to raise a handmaiden, but there is nothing wrong with it. Nowadays, it is common to accumulate slaves, and most of the powerful families use slaves and maidservants to give each other. Hundreds, often thousands.

Human lives outside the country of Ji are really worthless.

Liu Bei didn't dare to compare with His Majesty. According to the law, the prince has forty little ladies. His Majesty's golden mouth and jade words, gave Liu Bei and the princess of the fifty-five countries. It's already too much of a favor. If you marry more, you may be criticized.

The princess said: Why don't I marry the orphan daughter of the Dou family together. Save yourself the trouble in the future.

Liu Bei thought about it, but still refused.

The matter of harmony is very important. And it is His Majesty's marriage, which will inevitably attract everyone's attention. If it is exposed, it will be a great disrespect and a crime of bullying the king. coincides with a time of national calamity, and if he is impeached by the imperial history, he is asking for trouble.

The princess also nodded in kindness.

End of March. The mighty convoy set off from Chang'an City. When the fifty-five kingdoms are full, go to the capital of the king of Ji to discuss the matter of peace and pro-ceremony.

The merchants of the Western Regions, the people of the Ji Kingdom are looking forward to it.
