It's late at night.

Sitting in the Hall of Houde, holding his newborn son, Liu Xi couldn't close his mouth happily, he really loved this son, since his grandfather, the son of heaven became a family early, and they were all the eldest sons of the first child, when he came here, at this age, he hugged his son, it was really not easy, the little guy grew up a lot more than when he was born, and the newborn child was like this, growing up very quickly.

The queen is still in the sickbed, and Liu Xi doesn't want the palace maids to take care of the little guy, the magic is that even at night, this little guy doesn't cry or make trouble, lying in his father's arms, comfortable and leisurely, the palace slaves and maids spread more about His Royal Highness's miracles, Liu Xi doesn't understand these rumors, but compared to Princess Duyang, this guy is indeed very well-behaved, rarely crying, that is, eat more breast milk... But it's all a minor issue.

At night, Liu Xi had to deal with the copywriting submitted by Liu Bei anyway, and he had to stay up late, so he directly asked the palace maids to stay outside the door, put the little guy in his arms, and began to get busy with his own things, he put soft cushions on his knees, the little guy occasionally cried a few times, Liu Xi just coaxed a few words, and the little guy would calm down, Liu Xi was so busy, after a long time, most of the things in his hands were completed.

Liu Xi hugged the little guy in his arms, looked at him seriously, and the more he looked at it, the more he loved it.

"My son, what shall I name you?"

"Alas, all the good names have been taken up by your ancestors, and you have to avoid it, I really have a headache, or else, just call Rui, how about it?"

Liu Xi muttered to himself, pondered for a long time, and didn't dare to settle down.

"Let's take a nickname, my nickname is called Mastiff, of course you have such a physique, of course you want to be called a tiger!"

"Hu!" Liu Xi screamed, the little guy twisted his body, there was no reaction, his eyes were blurred, he looked a little tired, Liu Xi hugged him, swayed gently, and whispered: "Hu'er, don't sleep, I want to take you, take a look at this palace, in the future, you will be the third master of your palace!" Liu Xi carefully hugged the little guy and stood up.

The little guy was wrapped very tightly, when Liu Xi walked out of the Houde Palace, several palace maids were chatting outside the door, and when they saw the Son of Heaven coming out, they all quieted down, lowered their heads, Liu Xi looked at them, smiled, and said: "You are all happy, go back and rest, I want to take Hu'er out for a walk, if he doesn't stop crying, I will look for you again!" The palace maids nodded and slowly left here.

Qi Yue was standing in the distance, reprimanding a few little yellow doors, and when he saw the Son of Heaven coming over, he also hurriedly came over, tiptoeing, and looked at His Highness, Liu Xi waved his hand and said, "I take the little guy to take it around, you just wait here!" Qi Yue nodded, Liu Xi hugged the little guy and left here.

In the night sky, there is a clear bright moon hanging, in the garden in the distance, there are no frogs chirping, this season, there will probably be no frogs, which makes the surroundings seem extraordinarily silent, extraordinarily silent, quiet as if Liu Xi is isolated from the world, except for the child in his hand, there is nothing else in the world, Liu Xi walked in the corridor, the distance is faint, Liu Xi can't even feel his own breathing.

Only the heart is still beating, only the little one in his arms is still writhing.

As if he had come to another world, Liu Xi looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Qiong Yuan.

In the distance, there seemed to be two figures standing, in the same posture, holding the heavy child in their hands.

The earliest figure, maintaining the appearance of walking forward, but the whole body was bent, it seemed to be scarred, tortured, and there was a dagger in his chest, and he tried his best to spread his hands to protect the little guy in his arms.

"My son argues that since I ascended the throne, I have not dared to relax and be extremely tired, and for some days I even wondered if I would not have been so tired if I had not been to the river and fished for that big fish...", he whispered.

Behind him, there was a second figure, he was shrouded by the shadow of the first, completely unrecognizable, behind him, there were countless iron chains entangled, as if bound by countless heavy objects, he dragged these chains, step by step under the shadows, with his head down, depressed.

"My son mastiff, since I was born, I have been full of sorrow and at a loss, father, you are a saint who is comparable to filial piety and filial piety, since I was born, you have high hopes, but no matter how hard I try, I can't get his approval..."

Liu Xi could only look forward, he couldn't see himself, he couldn't see what was like in himself, he picked up the child in his arms, stared into his eyes, he said: "My son, since I was born, I have tasted all the ups and downs, you Ye Ye and the eldest mother often quarrel, watching them quarrel, I am really scared, you Ye Ye, I am very strict with me, I have never seen his gentle appearance, I can only hide, hide everything, dare not reveal my ambitions, dare not show my talents, and even, I even have to count crying and laughing." ....”

"Now, the situation in the world is improving, I can't bear to kill my uncle, my loveless and favorite mother, no one in the world can be my cronies, only you, you are my eldest son, in the future, you are also the son of this great man, the great Han country, must not be lost in the hands of you and my father and son!!"

"Now, the world is peaceful, the world is under great rule, but I know that whether it is governing politics or going on expeditions to the Quartet, I am far inferior to my father, but I will not disappoint my father's high hopes, he has laid the foundation for the prosperous world, this prosperous world, in the hands of you and my father and son, continue to continue, you have to be better than me!! I can't let you down!! ”

"Now, it is an unprecedented prosperous era, the country is strong, the people are rich, the elite soldiers are strong, the capable ministers are sage, the treasury is sufficient, there is no strong enemy outside, there is no worry about trouble inside, the prosperous era left by my father and ancestors, I will build him more brilliant, I want the world to submit, no matter the Kushan Great Qin, the place I know, will be planted with the banner of the Han Dynasty, and the people who chant my name in their mouths will live a prosperous and happy life! Sooner or later, this prosperous world will be in your hands, and I will do everything for you, but you must keep this glory!!

At that moment, the two turned around, and the eyes of the three ancestors and grandchildren seemed to converge.

Liu Xi sighed, at that moment, all the scenes disappeared, the little guy was in his arms, sleeping very sweetly, in the distance, Qi Yue led a group of yellow doors, standing motionless, everything just now, like a dream, Liu Xi smiled bitterly, hugged the child, and left the corridor step by step.

........

The carriage stopped in front of the palace, and the guards were about to step forward to drive away, but Liu Bei hurriedly walked down from the carriage, the guards were stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped, it's so dangerous, but, no, Liu Sikong's car is not like this? What's going on? The guards met Sikong, and one of them asked, "Sikong, have you changed the car...", and before he could finish speaking, Liu Bei hurriedly left from his side.

The guards are a little confused, Sikong is not like this on weekdays, right?

Isn't it all Cao Situ who is so hasty? Where is the Sikong who is not in a hurry or slow on weekdays, and will stop to greet us for a long time?

Liu Bei quickly walked into the palace, and Huangmen led him to the Hall of Houde.

Walking into the Hall of Houde, the Son of Heaven was reviewing the recital, raised his head, Liu Bei hurriedly saluted, sat down beside the Son of Heaven, took out a list from his sleeve, and put it on the case, Liu Bei frowned, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister has prepared a list, this is the thirteenth change, this time the change is negotiated by the three princes and nine secretaries, not the words of the minister's family, Your Majesty take a look..."

Liu Xi nodded, and took the list from his hand, this list is naturally the list of county officials in various places, Liu Bei wants to develop the place, naturally those capable ministers who govern the government are indispensable, so the governors everywhere need to be seriously considered, not to mention, Liu Xi intends to abolish the history of assassination within ten years, and set up state pastors, these state pastors, will not master the military, but can mobilize the local Taishou, can implement policies.

This policy was implemented by Emperor Xiaokang back then, but he was only implemented in Liangzhou, Yangzhou and other regions, and did not promote it to the whole country, and Liu Xi dared to do so, mainly because the world was peaceful, and the local county soldiers were also abolished. However, ten years later, this policy must be canceled, and Liu Xi does not want to leave any hidden dangers for future generations.

Liu Xi picked up the list and looked at it seriously.

"Si Li's captain Zhuge Jin."

"Liangzhou Mu Maoyu."

"Xizhou Mu Chen Deng."

"And the state pastor Cheng Li."

"Youzhou Mu Liu Ye."

"Ningzhou Mu Zhang Zhao."

"Jingzhou Mu Zhong Xuan."

"Yishu Makita Yutaka."

"Yangzhou Pastoral Professor,"

"Yuzhou Mu Zhuge Liang."

"Yanzhou Mu Sima Yi."

"Xuzhou Mulusu."

"Jizhou Mu Jiang Ji."

"Jiaozhou Mu Gu Yong."

"Xinzhou Mu Caoren."

"Hezhou Mu Lu Yu."

"Qingzhou Mu Guoyuan."

Liu Xi looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said, "Let Jiang Ji and Guoyuan change..."

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Well, it's good, it's good, it's good, there are these talents in the place, within ten years, hahaha, the prosperity of the Han is just around the corner, great!" Liu Xi said with a smile, hearing Liu Xi's laughter, Liu Bei's heart was a lot more stable, in order to make this list, God knows how much energy he spent, the ministers of the court and the central government did not agree on this list, Liu Bei took more than a month to convince the rest of the people.

Fortunately, Cao Cao and Sun Jian did not open their mouths for this promotion, otherwise, Liu Bei really didn't know if he could get this list.

Liu Bei and the Son of Heaven discussed for a long time, after two ministers, he walked out of the palace, at this time, he was obviously a lot more stable, when he walked out of the palace, he also deliberately apologized to the guards, and said: "There is an urgent matter, so I can't stay, and I hope you will forgive me!" Where did the guards dare to accept the gift of the three princes, and hurriedly said that they didn't dare, Liu Bei looked out of the door, looked at it for a long time, and then asked, "Where is my car?" ”

The guard pointed to the carriage in the distance and asked, "Isn't that?" ”

"That's not it!"

"But Sikong just came in that car...."

Liu Bei was stunned, and hurriedly walked to the carriage, a groom was sitting in the carriage, and when he saw Liu Bei coming, he trembled and hurriedly greeted him.

"Who are you?"

"Below is the groom of the lieutenant of the division..."

"Then why are you here?"

"Just now, my family master and Sikong discussed important matters in Sikong Mansion, and later, Sikong came out, got into my car, and asked me to go to the palace quickly... The grass people don't dare to disobey...", the groom said fearfully, just a few times ago, Liu Bei jumped into the carriage and asked him to go to the palace directly, he is a groom, where dare to refuse? This is the third duke, he didn't dare to say anything, he rushed here with his head down, and he didn't dare to leave, so he could only wait.

Liu Bei was a little annoyed and helpless, and after a while, he said, "My fault, my fault... You take the money.."

"Sikong.... Need not... Need not. ”

"You take it!!"

"Now go back and pick up your master, if he asks, you will say that I have taken a fancy to your driving skills, so I ordered you to take me to the palace, so that he will not blame you, nor embarrass you, if he embarrasses you, you will come to my mansion, and I will give you an errand."

"Thank you, thank you!"

At the same time, Ting Wei.

Full Pet was working in the study, and suddenly a person rushed in!

"Mangong!! I'm going to report to the police!! I'm going to report to the police!! ”

"I just discussed important matters in Sikong Mansion, and when I came out, I saw that my car was gone!!"

"It's been two hours, there are no people, there are no cars, and the thieves in Luoyang are so bold?!? In front of Sikong Mansion! Stealing the lieutenant's carriage and horses!! And kidnapped me with a groom!! ”

"I'm miserable!"
