Although the imperial palace in Luoyang was destroyed to a great extent in the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, there are still a small number of palaces that have not been destroyed, and the surrounding buildings are still quite good after simple decoration. When Yuan Xi learned that Yuan Shao wanted the Son of Heaven to move to Luoyang, he had already ordered someone to clean up a palace that was still neatly preserved, the Zhengde Palace.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was quite satisfied to be able to break away from Cao Cao's control and regain his freedom, and he was even more excited to see Yuan Xi treat him so kindly and respectfully, and expressed his gratitude to Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi didn't have much ambition, he wanted to give Emperor Han Xian a chance, and after going through so much suffering, he could see if he could become a generation of Ming monarchs with the assistance of this group of ministers.

I still have more important things to do now, that is, the external invasions in the north: Xiongnu, Xianbei, Karasuma, Samhan, and Goguryeo. If we don't get rid of it now, we will continue to have internal friction in the future, which may give these foreigners a chance to rise. As a warrior with the memory of future generations, he will never allow the existence of Wuhu Chaohua, and he must nip these hidden dangers in the bud. Therefore, Yuan Xi decided to support Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and manage the affairs of Kyushu in the Central Plains.

Yuan Xi respectfully said to Emperor Han Xian: "Your Majesty, now that the Han family is weak, I am also limited in ability, so I can only hand over Luoyang to the emperor to really call the shots, I hope the emperor can take this opportunity to train himself and become a generation of Ming monarchs in the future." ”

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty's puppet life for many years has long lost the superiority of the Son of Heaven, but sighed unconfidently: "I am very satisfied that I can get rid of the sea of suffering and regain my freedom, and now with the help of General Yuan, I can return to the old capital, and managing Luoyang is already God's favor for me." I will make the Han family fall apart, ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, I just want to take care of Luoyang, as for becoming a Ming monarch through the ages, I don't expect to become a Ming monarch for thousands of years. ”

At this time, there were only a few people in the court, and they were basically Yuan Xi's cronies, including Xun Zhan, Xu Shu, Sima Yi, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, and Gao Gan, and the only one who was not Yuan Xi's cronies was Xun Yu. Seeing that Emperor Han Xian was so discouraged, Xun Yu also excused himself and said: "Your Majesty's downfall here is also the negligence of the former ministers. In order to make up for the mistakes of the ministers, the ministers must assist His Majesty in reviving the Han family. ”

Yuan Xi even looked back at the generals, hoping that everyone could give Liu Xie a little confidence, Sima Yi was the most able to guess people's hearts, and he also stepped forward and said: "Minister Sima Yi is also willing to share worries for Your Majesty." The rest of the people also followed this Sima Yi and said that he was willing to share his worries for His Majesty, and with everyone's commitment, Emperor Han Xian's confidence also increased a lot, and suddenly Long Yan said with great joy: "With everyone's help, I can rest assured, everyone is the real loyal minister of the Han Dynasty." ”

Yuan Xi saw that Liu Xie had regained some self-confidence, and continued to encourage: "Your Majesty, rest assured, there are still many loyal ministers in the world, and Luoyang is just a starting point. As long as Your Majesty can restore Luoyang to prosperity, the generals in various places will naturally surrender, and when the time comes, the world will surely return to peace. If at that time, there are still those who are not satisfied, I am willing to lead the righteous army to crusade against the traitors, maintain the reputation of our Han Dynasty, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven. ”

With Yuan Xi's encouragement, Liu Xie seems to see a bright future, and with the goal in his heart, maybe there will really be such a day. Liu Xie thanked Yuan Xi and said: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are really loyal. Although my Han world is in danger, I believe that as long as Aiqing is there, the world is still the world of the Han. ”

Yuan Xijian had dispelled Emperor Han Xian's concerns, and also expressed his opinion on the situation in the world: "Your Majesty, I should have personally assisted Your Majesty in taking care of Luoyang, but I still have a very important thing to do, that is, to eliminate the barbarians in the north." ”

As soon as Yuan Xi's words came out, not only Emperor Han Xian was surprised, but even his subordinates did not guess Yuan Xi's true thoughts. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Yuan Xi continued to explain: "Guarding the frontier is the duty of every common man in my Han Dynasty, and now the local heroes and powerful people are enclosing land for their own selfish desires, but they have forgotten the dangerous foreigners. They are unfed beasts, and once they are no longer restrained, they will begin to invade the territory of the Han Dynasty and kill the people of the Han Dynasty. If no one takes the lead, then I will take the lead, raise the prestige of my Han country, and offend my Central Plains, although it is far away, it will be punished. ”

Xun Yu found that he underestimated Yuan Xi, this person is a real hero in troubled times, caring about the world, far-sighted, and apologized to Yuan Xi: "General Yuan's vision Xun Yu only sighed, what the general said that day, Xun Yu was not convinced, and thought that the general was just a fake public and private, and now it seems that the general is the biggest loyal minister of the Han Dynasty." ”

Seeing that Yuan Xi was so considerate of the people of the world, Liu Xie was also quite supportive: "Since Aiqing wants to pacify the foreign tribes in the north, I will canonize you as the general of Pingbei, so that you can justifiably send troops to fight against thieves." Yuan Xi was grateful. Yuan Xi knew that he would go north soon, so he also arranged for Zhang Xiu and Guo Huai to lead 30,000 troops to stay in Luoyang, and Hao Zhao to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to stay in the Tiger Pass, leaving Sima Yi and Xun Yu to assist Emperor Han Xian to restore the vitality of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xie saw that Yuan Xi was thinking about himself everywhere, so he naturally agreed to Yuan Xi's arrangement.

After leaving the Zhengde Palace, Yuan Xi's men returned to the Luoyang Taishou Mansion. Zhang Xiu saw that they were all his own people here, and said directly: "The lord is rebuilt with me Zhang Xiu, but I don't know a little, please forgive me for saying bluntly, the Han family has been in decline for a long time, and the lord is a peerless hero, why do you want to bury a hidden danger for yourself." ”

Although everyone felt that Zhang Xiu was abrupt, Jia Xu even reminded Zhang Xiu not to talk nonsense. Yuan Xi saw that everyone was puzzled, and he was also righteous Ling Ran said: "Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and my biggest ideal in life is to create a peaceful and prosperous world, where the people live and work in peace and contentment." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is currently the most suitable person to stabilize the Central Plains, so that I can sweep away the external troubles in the north without worries, and then lead the army to the south and pacify the world is just around the corner. As for the land of the Central Plains, who is the lord of the ups and downs, of course, is the capable to live in it, if Emperor Han Xian can be pro-government and love the people, I will move overseas, happy and happy, if not, since the election of the virtuous to replace. Everyone slowly savored the meaning of Yuan Xi's words, although they didn't understand it very well, but they were also used to Yuan Xi's ideas beyond the scope of their own thinking, so they thought that their lord had already made arrangements, especially the last sentence to choose the meritocracy to replace him, that is, the descendants of the Yuan family would replace him.

Xu Shu changed the topic, how to deal with the northern foreigners. Everyone had no experience in dealing with foreign tribes in the north, and there was no way to talk about it, Jia Xu broke the silence: "My lord, Xu also learned some foreign habits when he was in Xiliang, these nomadic barbarians usually respect the strong, if our army is strong, they will be soft." If our army is weak, we will wait for the opportunity to move, and the leader must belong to a strong tribe, so our army should first weaken the great tribe. As long as the small tribe is given a certain amount of profit temptation, it will be used by our army. ”

Yuan Xi thought for a while and praised: "Mr. Wenhe's clever plan, with Wenhe, the good days of foreign races are coming to an end." As for the situation of foreign tribes, the people on the other side of Youzhou are more familiar with us than us, so they will return to Youzhou first and then discuss. ”

After the affairs of Luoyang were arranged, Yuan Xi was also ready to lead the army to return to the north, and secretly summoned Sima Yi. Yuan Xi asked Sima Yi mysteriously: "Zhong Da must be puzzled, why did he leave you in Luoyang?" ”

This troubled Sima Yi for a long time, and when he saw Yuan Xi asking, Sima Yi also said truthfully: "Although what the lord said that day is indeed reasonable, he wants me to supervise the Son of Heaven." But the general is still in Yecheng, and there are many things that may not be as the lord wants. ”

Sima Yi means that Yuan Shao is still in charge in the north, and he may be able to help more in the future. Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Zhongda, sometimes things change, do you think Cao Cao will be so calculated, Xun Yu and Cao Ying are uncertain factors, only if you are in Luoyang and fight Cao Cao, I can go north with peace of mind." As for the matter of the general, you can rest assured, as long as Cao Cao is not dead, he can only pass on to me! And, don't forget, unlike in the past, we now have the Son of Heaven in our hands. Sima Yi listened to Yuan Xi's analysis, and was also convinced, promising to live up to Yuan Xi's trust.
