Luoyang Nangong, an official residential area, is flanked by dense residences and in the middle is a not too wide road.

A woman walked down this road with a child of about ten years old, and not far behind them was followed by Xiao Luozi, the chief eunuch of Ouchi, and Zhen Mi, a young female official, as well as the guards of the Yulin Army.

And the woman who walked in the forefront was Cai Yan Cai Wenji, the famous first talented woman in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the child next to her was naturally Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty.

In order to dispel Cai Yan's restraint due to the relationship between the monarch and the minister, Liu Xie said: "Auntie doesn't have to be too restrained, just treat us as ordinary people." I admire my aunt's talent, so I want to go alone with my aunt and listen to your opinions, which may have different ideas from ordinary ministers such as Wang Yun. ”

Cai Yan said: "The women's temple is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the ministers and daughters are just grass people, let alone discuss the government in vain." ”

Liu Xie said: "What kind of politics is this? I just want to hear your opinion, maybe different from other ministers, there will be something unique. And my aunt is now an official of my court, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Cai Yan said, "Your Majesty is now vigorously developing commerce and agriculture, as well as handicrafts, to raise the army with business, to raise the army with agriculture, and to raise the army with the people. Just ......"

"Just what? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Cai Yan said again, "education is still even worse." Although Luoyang is large, there are still many people who are illiterate. The courtiers believed that education should not only improve the knowledge profile of outstanding talents, but also improve the overall awareness of the people. ”

Liu Xie nodded: "My aunt is really different, you see that Ran Zhen is right, right?" Ministers like mine don't have you in mind. You will come to the Hajj every morning from tomorrow onwards. ”

"Isn't that good, Your Majesty? The courtiers are just a class of women. ”

"What about the women?" Liu Xie said, "As long as it is useful to me, I will care about your male and female streams!" It's decided, you are not allowed to resist the decree. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Cai Yan said, "Your Majesty is really different, the courtiers have seen the future emperor of my Han Dynasty, Your Majesty, you must have the greatest great achievements in history." ”

"Okay, aunt, there are more people who can pat on the back in the court, I don't want to listen to your praise."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Don't be inhibited, speak freely, say whatever comes to your mind."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the courtiers feel that with Your Majesty's intelligence and courage, they are not suitable for this age at all."

"Actually, I've been here for more than thirty years, do you believe it?"

Cai Yan did not show surprise, but asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty does you want to listen to the truth or a good story?" ”

"Of course it's true."

"The truth is that the courtiers don't believe it."

"I knew no one would believe me, so I never mentioned it, and this is the first time I've talked to you about it today. In fact, in my previous life, when I crossed the Nai He Bridge, I did not drink Meng Po soup. ”

Cai Yan couldn't help but laugh and let out a slight laugh.

Neng Pomeraniana smiled, Liu Xie was also very happy, and said, "Auntie, look, isn't this very good?" If you want to laugh, you can laugh, and when you are with me in the future, you will have to do this. You, you still have a long life to come! Okay, tell me, why are you laughing? ”

"Since Your Majesty asked me not to be restrained, then the courtiers will tell the truth, because the courtiers don't believe what Your Majesty said at all, and the courtiers think that there is no god or ghost in the world at all."

"Actually, I don't believe it either."

Cai Yan suddenly let out a long sigh and stretched: "The courtiers never imagined that one day they would walk with Your Majesty, and they were still so unrestrained." ”

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"Then Your Majesty, can you tell me why you are so good to me? Although I am regarded as the first talented woman in the world and the third beauty in the group, the courtiers are also a very ordinary folk woman. ”

"Because you're a celebrity in troubled times."

"Troubled times?"

"Yes, in troubled times," Liu Xie said, "you may not understand it, so it's better not to say it." You remember, in the future, you only need to do two things well, one is to contribute to me, and the other is to make yourself happy. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After chatting for a while, Cai Yan asked, "Your Majesty seems to be bored?" ”

"Yes," Liu Xie sighed, "Zhang Xiunan has come here, and I have sent Zou Yuan and Yan'er to conquer it." The heroes covet Luoyang, and I want to send heavy troops to control the tiger. But now that the remnants of the Yellow Turban are coming from the north, I don't know what to do. ”

"Does Your Majesty have any plans to go on a personal expedition?"

"Exactly."

"If Your Majesty is in person, the courtiers are willing to accompany you."

Liu Xie stopped, looked back at Cai Yan, and asked in surprise: "Auntie, this is going to fight, you are neither a strategist nor a general, how can you go?" ”

Cai Yan said: "There are remnants of the Yellow Turban in the northeast of Luoyang, and the Southern Xiongnu in the north. ”

"It turns out that my aunt is here for your piano music, not for me to solve problems."

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, pacifying the rabble like the Yellow Turban, just a flick of a finger, why do you need your courtiers to give advice."

"Well, well, do you know how to ride a horse?"

"This one will. Your Majesty is worried that he is not good at riding a horse and it will be difficult to lead the army? Cai Yan said with a smile, "The Bai Bo Army is right in front of you, and you can reach it not far from Luoyang, Your Majesty doesn't need to ride a horse, just take a car." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it."

Liu Xiexin said: This Cai Yan and Zou Yuan are different, Cai Yan is a married woman, it is impossible to be too close to herself like Zou Yuan, otherwise it will attract criticism from the world, although she is still a child, but she must keep a certain distance from her.

So he wanted to let Cai Yan take him on a horse, but he had to give up.

After chatting with Cai Yan for a long time, the two said goodbye, and Liu Xie returned to Beigong.

On the way, Zhen Mi asked, "Is the emperor's brother going to war?" I'm going too. ”

"No," Liu Xie said, "my sisters should take it with them at home, waiting for my brother's good letter." You are too small to withstand the bumps. ”

Zhen Mi said: "Okay then." ”

Zhen Mi, Guo Zhao, and Er Qiao, the four of them all live together, and they all live in the North Palace, not far from Liu Xie's bedroom. Liu Xie asked her to go back, and he went back to the dormitory to rest, and by the way instructed Xiao Luozi: "You go and prepare a chariot for me to get up tomorrow morning, and ask for six horses to pull a horse, and an open one, which can carry four people." ”

"Hood?"

"It's just that it doesn't have a car cover, why are you so stupid? Go ahead and do it! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie returned to the dormitory, Yan Er and Zou Yuan were not there, only a few palace maids and eunuchs waited, Liu Xie was bored, so he lay on the bed in a daze.
