For He Xian, what he needs most now is time.

After swallowing the white waves one after another, and after the Xiliang Zhang Ji Army, the strength of the Nanyang Army increased greatly, and the territory was more than doubled, but in fact, there was an extreme shortage of grain and grass. It is no exaggeration to say that He Xian can no longer afford to fight a battle above the level of 50,000. If the war is forced, Nanyang's economy will be greatly damaged, which will bring deeper problems. Therefore, for He Xian and the Nanyang army, what they need most now is peace and stability, and the most important thing is to develop the economy and hoard grain and grass.

In June of the third year of Chuping (192 AD), the car of the Han Emperor successfully arrived in Nanyang Wancheng. The people of Wancheng spontaneously poured into the streets to warmly welcome his Emperor Majesty to stay here temporarily. He Xian did not move the capital, but asked the Han Emperor to live in Wancheng temporarily on the grounds of Luoyang's reconstruction. Guo Jia has already ordered someone to change the Nanyang County Shoufu into the emperor's palace, although the area is small, but the building structure of pure blue bricks and red tiles also looks unique.

After Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty entered the city, he obviously found that the people of Wancheng were different from the people of Luoyang and Chang'an. The faces of the people here are full of confidence and happy smiles, which the people of Chang'an and Luoyang do not have. Wancheng, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, there has been no war, and Chengping has been eight years. Under the rule of the Ho clan, the bandits were extinct, the economy was prosperous, the materials were abundant, and the people were almost non-starving as long as they could work. Mo said that it was Liu Xie, and even Situ Wang Yun, who had a black face all the way, also became interested in seeing the grand occasion of Wancheng, and wanted to understand the city and how Nanyang has developed over the years.

"I think that at the beginning, when the old man came to Nanyang to pacify the moth thieves on the order of the first emperor, Wancheng had been ruined. The land is barren and people are displaced. At that time, the old man was thinking in his heart that if this good Nanyang wants to recover again, I am afraid it will take 180 years of hard work. I really didn't expect it, but in just eight years of hard work, Zhongxin not only restored Nanyang's vitality, but also prospered even better. If outsiders say that this is Chang'an, I'm afraid some people will believe it! Taiwei Zhu Jun sighed from the bottom of his heart.

He Xian said modestly: "Lord Taiwei has a reputation! If you hadn't opened up the net and spared those Yellow Turban thieves who surrendered, how could Wancheng be today, and how could Nanyang be today? ”

"Was Wancheng built by those thieves?" Liu Xie was extremely surprised when he heard He Xian and Zhu Jun.

He Xian replied: "Your Majesty, although it is a bit biased to say this, they have indeed contributed a lot of strength. Back then, Nanyang County was one of the most severely infested areas of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Whether voluntarily or forced, nearly half of the people of Nanyang are more or less involved with the Yellow Turban thieves. If it is strictly in accordance with the law of the Great Han Dynasty and the death of a thief, I am afraid that the land of Nanyang will become a ghost. ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he sighed: "In this way, Nanyang can have today, and Taiwei has contributed a lot!" ”

Zhu Jun waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to the kid's nonsense!" I think that at the beginning, the old man was also young and vigorous, and he resolutely supported the beheading of these rebellious ministers and thieves on the spot! It's not this kid, who grinds hard and bubbles, but he made a bet with me and led the bet to get the right to dispose of these pawns! ”

"How could the hussar general have the foresight to know that these thieves will not turn back?" Liu Xie asked He Xiandao curiously.

"Wechen was young at that time, how could he have any foresight! It's just that Weichen has always believed that these thieves used to be the people of the Han Dynasty and the people of His Majesty. What people don't want to live in peace and happiness? The reason why they rebelled was because the officials in charge of managing them did their duty and did not lead them well, resulting in them having no food, no clothing, and no foundation for living and working in peace and contentment. Therefore, the sin is not in the people, but in those who rule over the people. “

What is a ruler of the people? Of course, it is the rulers from the emperor to the county order. He Xian can criticize officials, but he can't directly say about the emperor, so he can only be replaced by "people who manage the people". If Liu Xie is smart enough, he will naturally be able to understand the meaning.

"Hearing the hussar general's words, I feel that there is still a lot of knowledge to learn! Dare to ask the general, if I want to go to Yingchuan Academy to study, can I? Liu Xie asked.

"Why not? Yingchuan Academy is His Majesty's Academy, and if His Majesty is willing to go, it will be too late to welcome the Academy. It's just that, for the sake of unnecessary trouble, His Majesty's identity may need to be hidden! Ho Xian said.

'Taifu! Liu Xie turned to Ma Riyan: "Can I pretend to be Taifu's nephew?" ”

Ma Riyan bowed down and said: "This is the honor of Fufeng Ma's family!" “

"Then it's decided! In the name of the Horse Association, let's enroll! Liu Xie said happily.

"Tai Lieutenant, Sima, the two adults are both famous generals of our Han Dynasty, if they can open a military battle formation course in the academy and teach the experience of battlefield warfare, they will definitely receive a warm welcome from the students!" He Xian took the opportunity to encourage Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song to join the professors of Yingchuan Academy.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song glanced at each other and asked, "Is it okay for the two of us?" “

"Of course! If the two adults are willing, I can persuade Master Sima to open a separate military academy to train academy students and middle-level generals of the Han Dynasty. In a few years, the two adults will be full of peach and plum! “

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song have both passed the age of "knowing the destiny of heaven", and in the Han Dynasty, it is not a short life. After He Xian took power, although he respected the two of them, it was impossible for them to lead the troops to the battle after all. Teaching and lecturing is actually a good choice.

"You can't just be fooled by your kid!" Zhu Jun said: "The old man and Brother Yizhen want to go to Yingchuan Academy to see in person, and then reply to your proposal!" “

"No problem! As long as you are happy! Ho Xian said. As long as the two are interested, He Xian believes that the atmosphere of a hundred schools of thought in Yingchuan Academy will eventually become the destination of these two famous generals.

Liu Xie then went to meet the Empress Dowager He Ying, and then went to visit the imperial brother Liu Wei. After several years of diagnosis and treatment by Zhang Ji, Liu Wei has never improved, and can basically be declared a failure of treatment. If Liu Wei wants to regain his sanity, the probability is very small. Empress Dowager He has seen through it, life and death are in the sky. Deliriousness may not be a good thing for Liu Wei. At the very least, he had no conflict of interest with anyone else. With his identity, he can live peacefully anywhere until he dies. And a deposed emperor who is mentally deranged, for Liu Xie, is also the best royal brother in the world.
