After ordering the crown princess, Liu Xie returned to Deyang Hall and continued to deal with government affairs, and the rest of the affairs were handled by the Empress Dowager Dong. At this time, Cai Wenji knew that she was named the crown princess by Liu Xie, although the Empress Dowager Dong had already told her that she would definitely be selected, but now when she heard the news, she still had some indescribable taste in her heart, there were expectations and apprehensions and confusion about the future, she didn't know if she would be happy in the future, everything about Liu Xie was heard from her father's mouth, of course, his father spoke highly of him, praising him as the hope of the future prosperity of the Han Dynasty, so in Cai Wenji's heart, The figure that hurried by just now was more of anticipation and fantasy.

After Liu Xie ordered the crown princess, Empress Dowager Dong personally busted Liu Xie's marriage, although there was someone in charge of this matter in the court, she still strongly demanded that she be personally responsible. In this regard, even Liu Hong can only let it go. But Queen He here, watching Liu Xie sit as steady as a rock on the throne of the crown prince step by step, she became more and more anxious, and on this day, he called his brother He Jin into the palace to discuss what to do.

Now after He Jin was retired by Liu Hong under the pretext that he was sick, he was completely idle, walking birds and teasing dogs on the street every day, and having fun. Queen He looked at He Jin, who was obviously fat, and a trace of disgust flashed in the depths of her eyes, but thinking that she needed He Jin's help now, she forced herself to change into an amiable smile, and looked at the chubby He Jin and said with a smile: Brother, now Liu Xie's position as the prince is becoming more and more stable, we need to make plans early, do you have any good ideas? As soon as Queen He called him into the palace, He Jin guessed what Queen He was looking for him, so he was also thinking about how to get rid of Liu Xie.

To tell the truth, those who have tasted the taste of power, once they lose their rights, their lives are simply miserable and painful. Seeing that Liu Xie's crown prince position is becoming more and more stable, he is also in a hurry, Liu Xie has no chance to reappoint him, and only when Liu Wei takes the throne, he has hope of re-rising, so on this matter, he and Queen He's opinions are the same.

Now when he heard that Queen He really asked him about this, He Jin immediately said: Isn't Liu Xie going to get married, if we put a good hand in Liu Xie's wedding room in advance, and on the day of Liu Xie's wedding, the guards outside the door will definitely not be too close as before, and when the time comes, with Liu Xie's body, how can we fight the good hand we carefully arranged. Empress He was happy when she heard it. This is a good opportunity, and it is estimated that this is also the last chance, Emperor Liu Hong's health is getting worse and worse, which Empress He knows too well.

If you can't get rid of Liu Xie now, then when Liu Hong dies and Liu Xie ascends the throne, the difficulty of assassinating Liu Xie will skyrocket, and it will become more and more difficult. The two then discussed the details of the operation, including where to find the manpower of the operation, how to evade the search personnel in an ambush in advance, and how to enter the palace, and so on.

It's a pity that Queen He's plan has not been implemented, a major event broke out, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang led a group of peasants to rebel in Julu County, and Liu Xie wanted to personally lead the troops to the expedition, and the big wedding stopped.

On March 5, Zhang Jiao met with the believers to raise an army against the Han Dynasty under the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious"; "Cangtian" refers to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and "Huangtian" refers to the Taiping Road, and according to the speculation that the Five Virtues have always said, the Han Dynasty is the fire virtue, the fire gives birth to the earth, and the soil is yellow, so all believers are tied with a yellow scarf as a mark, symbolizing to replace the corrupt Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were respectively "General Digong" and "General Rengong" in Julu County, Jizhou in the north.

The imperial court received the news on March 7, and for a time the imperial court was shaken, even Liu Hong couldn't care about the wind and snow, so he hurriedly ran out of the gentle township and personally presided over the court meeting. Looking at the frightened faces of the ministers in the main hall, Liu Xie could feel empty for a while, this court needs to inject a fresh vitality too much, and now this opportunity has come.

In fact, as early as a month ago, a disciple named Tang Zhou in Zhang Jiao had already come to report the process, but Liu Xie at that time decided after discussing with Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others that the matter should be suppressed, and Liu Xie also agreed with it. If, as in the original history, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down in less than a year, then history would not change much, and there would be more waves in the Han Dynasty of the Later Banner, so it would be better to solve it all at once. Therefore, the current Liu Xie needs the Yellow Turban Rebellion to last longer, and the harm caused is greater, and only by completely leveling out some big families and some sneaky people in the local area, Liu Xie can paint on a blank piece of paper. It's just that I pity the people who are suffering for this plan, but Liu Xie can't take care of it so much for the sake of the plan, it's better that the Jin Dynasty's Jiupin Zhongzheng System in the future will completely restrict all people's hearts.

Liu Hong and a group of ministers on the stage are still discussing countermeasures, and some people suggest abandoning the localities and only protecting the central government. Some people also suggested sending troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, Liu Xie deliberately looked at the person who proposed to counterbalance the rebellion, it was Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, Lu Zhi also understood this person, and his teaching master Cai Yong is a friend, this person has a resolute personality, he can't rub sand in his eyes, in the face of the rebellion, according to his intention to solve the blow. Finally, there was a person's speech, which attracted the attention of Liu Xie, Taichang Liu Yan suggested that the state pastor should be reset, and the state pastor had come to fight against the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and finally the emperor issued an edict to remove the power of the state pastor.

However, Liu Xie was well aware of the harm caused by the relocation of the state pastor, and in the end, Liu Yan, the first person who suggested it, was no longer under the control of the imperial court after taking office. Therefore, Liu Xie knew that this method was not feasible, and other people may also have seen that this method had a great impact, and for a while, the hall was silent, Liu Xie looked at the people in the hall, and at this moment he felt that there were still too few people available in his hands, and no one could understand his own meaning, and Guo Jia. Xi Zhicai and their qualifications are too shallow, and they can't attend the court, so they looked at Liu Xie and had to stand up and say: Father, the son has different opinions. As soon as Liu Hong saw that Liu Xie took the initiative to stand up and say, he really wanted to hear what Liu Xie's opinion was, so he motioned him to continue, that is, when the ministers saw Liu Xie speak, they all began to concentrate on preparing to listen carefully, and from this, it can be seen that some of Liu Xie's governing philosophy in the future, so no one dares to take it lightly.

Liu Xie looked at everyone in the hall looking at him, and said calmly: Father, my lords, if the state pastor is reset, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be quickly pacified, but the resulting separatist forces are one by one, the 12 continents in the world will cause 11 great princes in addition to Luoyang, when the time comes, father, if you cancel the power of the state pastor, will it cause a greater rebellion, and it is the 12 continents in the world that are jointly opposed, so where should we go then. When the time comes, what will we use to quell a more powerful rebellion, if we want the governors everywhere to obediently let go of power, father, my lords, if it were you, would you let go?

Liu Xie's question, everyone in the hall was speechless, at this time Liu Hong thought about Liu Xie's statement, and found that it was indeed very reasonable, that is, he couldn't do it, how could he ask others to do that, and when the time came, the forces decided the ambition, will anyone learn the size of the king of Chuzhuang, Liu Hong is not sure, this is a scene that is very likely to develop, so at this time, Liu Hong really dispelled the suggestion of resetting the state pastor, and then looked at Liu Yan's gaze was a little meaningful, Even Liu Xie can see this problem, will Liu Yan, the elder of the royal family, not see it, if Liu Yan sees this problem, and he still suggests it, then his purpose is not pure, can it be that even Liu Yan has other thoughts? Liu Hong's heart was secretly wary of Liu Yan.

At this time, Liu Yan in the audience is also difficult to ride a tiger, originally he thought that no one could see the purpose behind his suggestion, that is, to see it, no one would say it, after all, the position of the state pastor, everyone in the court has the opportunity to earn, but his own chance is greater, when he is asking for the royal town to guard the side, he can also have a piece of his own territory as a prestige, but unfortunately he only missed Liu Xie, I didn't expect Liu Association to see the purpose behind this, so that he is now difficult to ride a tiger, and it also makes the emperor Liu Hong suspicious of him, It's a bit more than worth the loss.

Liu Hong didn't care where Liu Yan was still embarrassed, and asked Liu Xie directly, does the prince have any good proposals? When Liu Xie heard this, he walked to the stage, knelt at Liu Hong's feet very solemnly and said: Erchen is ready to recruit in person. Liu Xie fell in just a few words. The hall immediately exploded, and everyone didn't expect Liu Xie to prepare for the expedition in person, but Liu Hong stood up from the dragon chair in surprise. Liu Xie chose to go out to fight in person at this critical moment of inheriting the throne, so that everyone did not expect that the position of the crown prince, which had been decided by the overall situation, was afraid that there would be twists and turns again, and the ministers sighed secretly in their hearts.

Liu Hong looked at where Liu Xie knelt and couldn't kneel for a long time, he knew that Liu Xie had made up his mind, Liu Hong thought about it and said to Liu Hong: Okay, I promise you, prince, you are fully responsible for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you can decide for yourself the required troops, the money you need, the personnel and materials you need, I only need the result, if you can return triumphantly, then on the day you return triumphantly, I will hand over the throne to you, and I will enjoy a few years of good fortune.

Prince, do you dare to say yes? Liu Hong's words shocked Liu Xie and the ministers a lot, and the ministers felt that they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of this father and son, and the alternation of the throne and the prince's expedition were so simply decided? All the ministers felt that today's court meeting was the most volatile and undulating court meeting in their lives, and they did not come out as much as the court meeting revealed this time. Liu Xie looked at Liu Hong, who had an impassioned face at this time, and replied solemnly: The son only respects the holy decree of his father. I just agreed.

Liu Xie continued: In order to prevent the thieves from harassing the Jingshi, Erchen is going to take Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan to quell the rebellion, and the rest of the manpower will be left to his father. Liu Hong was very satisfied with Liu Xie's arrangement, how can he say that the Beijing division cannot lack soldiers and horses to guard, and said directly to the crowd in the main hall: Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, what do you three think? Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun stood up from the crowd and said directly: The ministers have no opinions, and the ministers listen to the opinions of His Royal Highness the Prince. Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction, looked at Liu Xie and asked, "Is there anything else the prince needs my cooperation?" Liu Xie thought about it for a while, and said, no, the other sons can handle it, but the father, the sons and daughters must personally take the post of military captain.

Liu Hong nodded, no opinion, the eighth lieutenant of the West Park was originally formed by Liu Xie, and Jian Shuo was only used as a surveillance, and now that the army is going to go on the expedition, Jian Shuo will naturally not be needed. Liu Hong saw that there was nothing going on, and directly announced his resignation. Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun walked to Liu Xie's side to discuss the dispatch of troops.
