Chen Gong was obedient, Liu Xie was very happy, so he said: "Since you can return to the imperial court, it just so happens that you will accompany me on the expedition tomorrow." ”

Chen Gong said: "I heard that Your Majesty is young, but you can take the lead, and you are impressed, if you guess correctly, what Your Majesty will go on tomorrow will be the remnants of the Yellow Turban who gathered in the east of the river." ”

"How can the public station be seen?"

Chen Gong said: "Back to Your Majesty, now, although my Han family is the ruler of the world and the whole world, the actual territory under its control is only from Liangzhou in the west to Luoyang in the east, with a Chang'an in between. What threatens us is the alliance of princes in the east, Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao in the south, the Southern Xiongnu and Baibo Army in the north, and the Northern Xiongnu in the west. The ministers heard that the only people who have annoyed me in Luoyang recently are Bai Bo, the princes and Zhang Xiu.

"Zhang embroidered a straw bag, and the road is far away, Your Majesty will not cut it in person, and secondly, he will take care of Luoyang, so he will not go in person, at most send two generals to go.

"Although the tiger prison is dangerous, it will take time for the princes to form an alliance, and they will not come to attack within three or five days, so Your Majesty will send elite soldiers to guard it, and naturally it will not go to guard the pass in person.

"The only thing left is this Yellow Turban Army, there are more than 100,000 people, although there are many people, but they are all rabble, easy to fight, and can boost morale and inspire people, plus it is close at hand, go and go back, so the minister guesses that His Majesty will conquer tomorrow will be the Yellow Turban Thief Party!"

"The public station is really smart," Liu Xie said, "does the public station have a good strategy to quickly destroy the enemy?" ”

Chen Gong said: "This kind of rabble, thieves and bandits, there is no need to use tricks, the cavalry can push it, and the bow and crossbow can shoot it, and the thieves will be wiped out in less than three days!" ”

"The public platform is arrogant, I admire it."

Chen Gong said: "Your Majesty has won the award, and the minister knows that the minister's talent is not as good as Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Gongtai, you are a bold and upright person, how can you learn to flatter?" ”

Chen Gong said: "The words of the minister are not flattery, but the heart of the minister." ”

Liu Xie had a deep chat with him, knowing that this person could be of great use, but it was a pity that Cao Cao, a person who loved talents so much, actually missed Chen Gong.

Seeing that it was too late, Liu Xie said: "Gongtai should also rest early, and go out with me early tomorrow morning to exterminate the Baibo Army." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie said goodbye to Chen Palace, returned to the North Palace, and returned to his dormitory Yang Xin Palace. The so-called "hall" is actually not big, and it is equivalent to the current one-bedroom and one-hall hall.

Originally, the Yangxin Palace was very large, but it was cut into several residences by Liu Xie's craftsmen with bricks and stones, the Empress Dowager Dong lived in it, Yan Er lived in it, Zou Yuan lived in it, and even Si Xiaomei lived in it.

There are also several rooms where close eunuchs and palace maids live.

Only Liu Xie's room and one hall are still called the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the other residents who are separated have other names.

Liu Xie initiated the thrifty activities among the entire royal family and cabinet members, starting with himself, so he was small, but he was very loved by the officials and the people.

However, when Liu Xie returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he saw Yan Er sitting on the steps in front of the door with his head bowed, and he had already taken off his military uniform and changed into simple clothes.

Liu Xie asked, "Sister doesn't rest so late?" I'm going to go tomorrow morning. ”

Seeing Liu Xie coming back, Yan Er stood up excitedly and said, "Haven't I been waiting for you?" Tomorrow morning, Yan'er will go south, and His Majesty will go north, so Yan'er is reluctant. ”

"Although the places we go to are opposite to each other," Liu Xie said, "but they are all easy places to go, and we will return them in a few days, so we don't need to remember them." Go back and rest. ”

"But Your Majesty, it's been a long time since you've asked Yan'er to put you to sleep."

Liu Xie couldn't help but be embarrassed, although he was still a child, he was an adult's mind, and he was slowly growing up, sleeping with Yan'er, and slowly felt uncomfortable.

When Zou Yuan returned to obedience, he also took him to sleep for a few nights, and last year, he slowly felt that this was inappropriate, so for a year, he slept alone.

Looking at Yan'er's pitiful appearance, Liu Xie smiled and asked, "What's the matter, I can't sleep alone?" ”

Yan Er pouted and hummed.

"You're a big sister," Liu Xie said, "why are you still like this?" ”

"What's wrong with me?" Yan Er said, "Just because I am a big sister, Your Majesty should let me take care of your little brother." Let's go, the bath water has already been boiled for you, and Yan'er will serve His Majesty to bathe. ”

"Oh my god, take a shower again? Didn't I wash it the day before yesterday? ”

"No, it must be washed!" Yan Er crossed her waist and pretended to be angry.

"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you, right?"

……

The next morning, before dawn, Liu Xie was woken up by Yan'er and served him to wash and dress. Liu Xie said: "Sister, today to recruit Zhang Xiu, you must not be greedy for merit. I'm not around, so I must protect myself. ”

"Got it," Yan'er said, "It's you, the little emperor, you have to take good care of yourself." ”

"You're too long-winded."

"I don't dare."

After changing clothes and washing, the palace maid brought breakfast, and Dong's, Zou Yuan and Si Xiaomei all came over for breakfast together.

For more than a year, Liu Xie has always been in this habit, and everyone eats together and has a good time. During the meal, Dong wept and said: "Xie'er, you are going to be personally recruited again, and the mourning family is really not at ease." ”

"Grandma, what am I worried about?" Liu Xie put his arm around Dong and said, "The year before last, I personally conquered Chang'an, so Li Dao Guo Yan's Xiliang Army of 150,000, a brutal army, is much more powerful than this Yellow Turban Army, right?" The grandson didn't go and come back yet, just like playing. This Yellow Turban Army is simply not my dish. I'm gone, just flick my little finger and I'll wipe them out! ”

Dong smiled bitterly and said: "The mourning family knows that you are smart and can fight, but you are young and not yet an adult, so you have to risk the arrows and stones. ”

Liu Xie sighed and said, "No way, who made me the emperor?" In such troubled times, if I don't take the lead, I can't make the sea obey. ”

"You're a miserable child."

"Don't worry, old man," Liu Xie said, "I'll be back in three or two days." By the way, Grandmother Huang, I will tell you one thing, I have ordered someone to bring King Hongnong back. ”

Dong Shi exclaimed: "Why do you want to take him back?" Don't you know that there are no two kingdoms? ”

"Imperial grandmother, don't you know that my imperial brother is not safe outside, and I have brought him to my side, firstly, for his safety, and secondly, so that he can also get close to my grandmother."

"But this is the palace, there can only be one master!"

"Well," Liu Xie said, "for the sake of the country's society, after he returns to the palace, he will definitely have to limit his freedom, and he will not be able to move freely in the palace." After ten years, I will achieve great success, return his freedom, and let him move out of the palace to live. ”

Dong said: "Hey, Xie'er, you are really a benevolent lord. ”
