The remnants of the Yellow Turbans led by Guo Tai and others gathered more than 100,000 people, gathered in the east of the river, occupied the mountains as the king, and were known as the White Wave Army, plundering everywhere.

Liu Xiezheng said this.

Lu Bu said: "Your Majesty, the minister Lu Bu is not talented, and he is willing to lead an elite to exterminate it!" Just a bandit, don't pay it back! ”

Liu Xie waved his hand and only said, "Let's talk again." ”

Except for Lu Bu, there was no other person to fight. Then he said: "Fengxian, you are the first fierce general in the world, let you go to exterminate the bandits, it is really overkill, there is an important place to live that you need to handle, that is, the gateway to the east of Luoyang. ”

Lu Bu was a little stunned and asked: "What is there to defend the Tiger Prison Pass, there is nothing to guard against in the east, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others eat Hanlu, dare to rebel, and they will be scolded by the people of the world." ”

Liu Xiexin said: This person is fierce, he is too stupid. I don't have any intelligence, and I dare to talk to me about strategy, I really don't know how I will die one day.

But it was hard to say, so he asked: "Then what if the princes really come to the opposite?" As soon as the tiger prison is broken, Luoyang is in danger! Think of me in Luoyang, there is my economic layout, the city is broken, and the entire Han family will be overturned. Therefore, I must defend Luoyang to the death, and must not retreat to Chang'an, so the tiger prison is a critical and dangerous place, and we must strictly guard against it! You said that your name as the first fierce general is here, I don't need you, who do I use? ”

Lu Buxi said: "It turns out that Your Majesty has another important use, Lu Bu is dull, and he is willing to lead a division to guard the Tiger Pass." ”

Liu Xie said: "Alas, that's right, Lao Lu, you take 10,000 soldiers, and you will also go to the Tiger Prison Pass tomorrow to control the princes." ”

"Commander Lu Bu!"

"It should be noted that once you encounter a thief, you must stick to it and not fight. to wait for the arrival of our army. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Xie was a little embarrassed in his heart, he wanted to personally conquer the Baibo Army, but he was too small to ride a horse, when he conquered Chang'an the year before last, it was Yan'er who rode a horse with him, but now, Yan'er didn't send him to follow Zou Yuan's southern expedition to Zhang Xiu.

Let other fierce generals ride horses to take him, he is not used to it, he does not personally conquest, let other generals go to Baibo, he is not at ease, so he is very entangled.

Therefore, he couldn't make up his mind about the encirclement and suppression of Bai Bo for a while, so he dispersed the court meeting and returned to the harem.

Out of the Qinzheng Palace, Xiao Luozi beside him asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty why he is worried." ”

Liu Xie sighed and said: "I want to take the royal car to conquer Baibo, but Yan'er is not here, if I don't go, I am not at ease, so I am entangled." ”

Xiao Luozi said: "Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this, this army has not yet set off to conquer the south, don't you just need to withdraw General Yan'er?" ”

Liu Xie said: "But I asked her to follow Zou Yuan to testify, and the words have already been spoken, how can I take it back?" Besides, sending Zou Yuan to fight is purely to let her play and make him happy, I don't worry about her, so this Yan'er can't be withdrawn. Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, how is Cai Yan's placement? Check it out! ”

The two came all the way to the residence area of the hundred officials in the outer palace to find Cai Yan's residence.

The Luoyang Imperial Palace is divided into two palace complexes in the north and south, covering a huge area and magnificent. After Liu Xie ascended the throne, the entire palace was rebuilt and expanded on a large scale, and re-planned.

The name of the Jiade Palace, which was originally in the South Palace, was cancelled and transferred to the North Palace, and the Jiade Hall was renamed the Qinzheng Palace, which is now the place where the monarchs and ministers deliberate.

The emperor's inner palace is located in the north palace, and the entire inner palace only accounts for a quarter of the north palace, including the emperor's living bedroom, the empress dowager's bedroom, and the later bedrooms for the queen and the concubines.

Due to the greatly reduced size of the Inner Palace, it was difficult to accommodate the gradually increasing population in the future, so Liu Xie continued to build houses on the vacant site of the Inner Palace, and it was a three-story building similar to a modern building.

There are ensuites, studios and dormitories, each of which is much smaller than the previous dormitories. Suites and single rooms were used for royal family members such as emperors, concubines and heirs, and collective rooms were for eunuchs, palace maids and grandmothers.

Although it is much smaller, in this way, the house becomes compact and can accommodate more people.

In addition to the inner palace, the North Palace is the permanent office of some cabinets and the department of the palace guards, and it is also a compact multi-storey house layout to make efficient use of the floor space.

Nangong also adopts a compact housing layout, and Nangong is basically the residence of the ministers, although they live in the courtiers and their families, but these houses are the assets of the royal family, so they have to pay rent when they live here.

After the Rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants and the Rebellion of Dong Zhuo, large areas of houses in Luoyang were destroyed, and many officials were left homeless. After Liu Xie ascended the throne, he rebuilt Luoyang, and if he lived in the South Palace, the rent was low, and the palace guards patrolled it, which was very safe, so many ministers preferred to live here and were too lazy to buy real estate again.

said that the two were walking towards Nangong, and were stopped by a little girl on the way, but it was Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi is only nine years old this year, she is a very smart and good-looking Lori, and when she saw Liu Xie coming, she knelt down and said, "The courtiers ask the emperor's brother to say goodbye." ”

Liu Xie pulled her up: "Sister, hurry up, why is my sister stopping me here?" ”

Zhen Mi said: "Seeing Your Majesty coming out of the Qinzheng Palace, she is in a hurry all the way, and she must have something to worry about, so the courtiers want to solve your Majesty's worries, so they stop each other." ”

"You, how can you help me? But when I saw you, I immediately felt a lot more comfortable. Since you have nothing to do, you don't let me go to see Ji below. ”

"Wen Ji?" Zhen Mi asked, "Your Majesty, who is this Wen Ji?" ”

"Sister, you don't even know Cai Wenji, the world's most talented girl?"

"Ah, Your Majesty is talking about Cai Yan, of course I know, did she also come to the palace?"

Liu Xie nodded and said, "I just moved in." ”

The three of them walked all the way to the South Palace, although the palace was large, Liu Xie rarely sat in a sedan chair, basically by walking, and there were guards on the left and right.

When he arrived at Nangong, a guard came to greet him, Liu Xie asked Cai Yan's residence, and the guard went to the registration office to check it, and after a while, he found the record and accompanied Liu Xie to Cai Yan's house.

When I came to the Nangong residential area, I saw rows of buildings, densely distributed here, and there were houses under construction. Cai Yan's residence is two rooms, the couple live in the inner room, Cai Yong lives in the outer room, and the outer room is also used as a living room, Liu Xie and others came to Cai Yan's house.

Seeing the little emperor's visit, Cai Yong's father and daughter hurriedly knelt down to greet them.

"Let's get even," Liu Xie said, "the house is a little small, how about it, are you used to living here?" ”

Cai Yong hurriedly said: "Habitual to living, habitual to living!" Thank you for your kindness. ”

Liu Xie asked again: "How is Zhongdao now?" ”

Cai Yan replied: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I just took a pair of medicines, and my complexion suddenly became much better, and I just fell asleep, and the courtiers went to call him to get up." ”

"Don't call him, let him sleep."
