When Liu Wei left Ren Hongchang and walked back to the dormitory, it was almost dusk.

The setting sun dyed the western sky into an autumn dusk, and along the bluestone palace corridor, Liu Wei walked in a good mood.

I don't know when, Ren Hongchang has become the only place for Liu Wei to stay away from the intrigue in the palace and relax his mood. Even if you just stay there for a while, you will get rid of your tiredness, take off all your disguises, and really laugh.

From a distance, the chariot of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty came slowly under the hug of the Yulin Army and the palace people. Liu Weiyi frowned, dodged and hid in an inner courtyard, waiting for a guard of honor to pass in front of him.

Although Liu Wei and Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty are called father and son, they have no father-son relationship. Let's not mention that Liu Hong is busy with his own eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and he has never asked Liu Wei about it. Even if they meet a few times, they are severely reprimanded, and there is no feeling of licking calves. After a few times, there is no family affection between the two, and they are like passers-by. So every time I see Liu Hong, Liu Wei has always been able to hide.

Through the crack in the door, Liu Wei saw Liu Hong yawning long under the canopy, his face full of tiredness. I guess it must have come out of the naked swimming pool in Xiyuan. is so addicted to wine, he is completely overdrawing his body, no wonder he will hang up in two years.

The Cheyu guard of honor hurried past and went straight to the Mingguang Hall in the Hongde Gate. Liu Wei walked out of the door, looked at the honor guard in the distance, and really wondered in his heart.

Liu Hong's personality has always been that he only knows how to have fun and does not care about political affairs. There was only one possibility that could make him rush to the Mingguang Hall to discuss with Shangshutai in such a hurry - that is, there was a rebellion somewhere in the Han Empire, threatening his dominance.

Liu Wei recalled in his heart the history he had learned in that time and space. It is now the fourth year of Zhongping, that is, in 187 AD, the Yellow Turban Rebellion of the three Zhang Jiao brothers has long been extinguished, and the remnants have been broken into pieces and scattered to various states and counties to continue the armed struggle, but basically there is no need to fear. And the Yuyang Zhang Ju, who died of addiction to the emperor, is not as happy as he was when he first started the incident, and it is estimated that he will be cleaned up by Gongsun Zhan in another year. remembered that Liu Bei seemed to have also participated in the battle against Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and I don't know what happened to the three Taoyuan brothers now.

I can't think of what happened, and Liu Wei doesn't care about it.

After all, the Han Empire during the period of Emperor Ling was relatively chaotic, with peasant uprisings and rebellions of all sizes occurring one after another.

However, what made Liu Wei most depressed was that Liu Hong was so tormented that the Han Empire could still survive until he died. As a result, the responsibility for the loss of the country finally fell on his son, and I have to say that Liu Hong is the shit luck of history.

Liu Wei continued to walk along the road, but his original happy mood had vanished. I didn't want to go back to the dormitory, so I walked in the direction of the Dragon Garden.

In the middle of the line, he suddenly heard the continuous shouting and scolding in front of him, Liu Wei couldn't help but be curious, so he quickly ran forward to check.

A team of palace guards walked in front of them, with a few people in the middle, and the chief Bai led by them scolded them loudly: "These short-lived thieves! offended Captain Yuan, and I thought I could be fine, and I would have your good looks later! ”

The group came to Liu Wei and stopped when they saw him standing in front. Bai Chang stepped forward and saluted: "Subordinate Zheng Fang pays a visit to His Royal Highness Shi Hou. ”

Liu Wei bowed his head slightly and asked, "What's going on here?" ”

Zheng Fang pointed to the detainees and said, "These people beat Shangguan and violated the law, and their subordinates were ordered to take them down. ”

Liu Wei asked curiously: "Who did they beat?" ”

"Captain Yuan Shu of Changshui."

Liu Wei almost laughed, although he hadn't met much, but he had always lacked a good impression of the two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Historically, one of these two people usurped the throne as emperor, and the other set up a separate imperial court, and they were both careerists who split the Han Empire.

But now the two of them still have the background of the fourth world and the third duke, and with the aura of loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, the weak Liu Wei still has nothing to do with the two of them. Therefore, he had a great interest in these people who dared to fight Yuan Shu, and looked at them carefully, but at a glance, he found that he knew that these people were the guards who blocked his way in Nangong.

The man named Jiang Qi was also tied up in it, and when he saw Liu Wei's gaze looking at him, he lowered his head a little ashamedly.

At this moment, he and his men were all wounded, and their hands were tied behind their backs. However, what made Liu Wei even more interesting was that the people who were holding them were more seriously injured, and several people were still being carried on stretchers. It must have been Jiang Qi and his men who were overwhelmed and resisted. However, Zheng Fang's subordinates had at least forty people, and they went to arrest ten people, and the ratio of four to one was still beaten like this, which shows that Jiang Qi's skills are still good.

Liu Wei suddenly laughed, pointed at Jiang Qi and shouted, "It turned out to be you!" ”

Zheng Fang was strange and asked Liu Wei: "Your Highness knows this person?" ”

Liu Wei nodded, pretending to grit his teeth and said angrily: "I went to Nangong to do something just now, but this person actually blocked me and was rude to me. Now that Zheng Baichang has taken them down, can I hand them over to Xiaohou and take them back to the palace for punishment, so as to vent the hatred in my heart! ”

Zheng Fang was very embarrassed when he heard Liu Shu's words, the Yuan family is a wealthy family in the world, and in order to curry favor with Yuan Shu, he wanted to release Jiang Qi who offended Yuan Shu and them to Yuan Shu to make him angry, but he didn't think that Liu Wei would insert a bar halfway. I had the intention to refuse, but Liu Wei was the prince after all, although he was not favored by the emperor, but the emperor only had two princes, and Liu Wei had at least half of the chance of becoming a big man, if there was really such a day, he would really come to an end.

At this time, I heard Liu Wei say: "This person has a fierce face, maybe it is a Yellow Turban rebel, but he can be escorted into my palace for interrogation slowly." After speaking, there was a Stephen Chow-style sneer.

Zheng Fang felt a chill in his heart. Yuan Shu wanted to clean up Jiang Qi, but he just wanted to convict him of beating Shangguan, and according to Han law, at most, he would remove his military position and punish him. The meaning of Liu's defense is to frame Jiang Qi and others as yellow turban thieves, which is a crime of killing heads!

It's just that he stepped forward to block and interrogate a few words, but he is ready to kill people, and his heart is too ruthless at a young age! If you refuse here, wouldn't it be to destroy the Nine Clans?

Zheng Fang was scared in his heart, so he didn't dare to refuse Liu Wei at this time, and said with a smile: "Since Shi Hou wants to personally interrogate such a thief, save me and other troubles, and my subordinates can't ask for it." ”

Liu Wei nodded and smiled: "This is very good, all the strong men have merit in capturing thieves, and they will each reward a horse with me when they return to the palace in a while." ”

When the guards heard that there was a reward, they all smiled, Zheng Fang was also very happy, although it was possible to offend Yuan Shu this time, but it was on the line of Shi Hou, and now the government is in chaos, who knows which cloud has rain! It's a big deal that Yuan Shu blamed it and pushed it on Liu Wei, saying that Shi Hou's order did not dare to disobey.

After a cadre of guards escorted Jiang Qi and others to Liu Wei's bedroom, they received the reward and left happily. Liu Weiping retreated from the palace maid and Huangmen who were waiting on the side, and looked at Jiang Qi and them with their arms tied and kneeling in the main hall with their arms tied.

Hearing that Liu Wei wanted to punish them for the crime of the Yellow Turban's rebellion, most of the guards were panicked in their hearts, and only Jiang Qi was suspicious in his heart. Although he didn't know much about Liu Bian, he always felt that Liu Bian's attitude towards him when he was in Nangong did not seem to be fake. It's a strange feeling, and sometimes there is an inexplicable affection between people. Ever since he first met Liu Wei, he had an inexplicable thought: this prince will be linked to his life!

Liu Wei suddenly picked up a dagger from the table, the other guards trembled in fright, and Jiang Qi was also suddenly shocked in his heart, could it be that he was thinking wrong?

Liu Wei stepped forward and cut the rope tied to Jiang Qi's body. Jiang Qi was suddenly relieved in his heart, he still didn't think wrong.

Jiang Qi rubbed his strangled wrist, and Liu Wei handed the dagger in his hand and said, "Help me untie other strong men." As he spoke, he turned his back to Jiang Qi and walked up to the main seat.

Even if Jiang Qi is not a thief, Liu Wei, as a prince, can calmly expose his back under his sword, what a trust! Jiang Qi was moved in his heart and loosened the ties for his comrades one by one.

Liu Wei sat on the main seat, waved his hand to them, and said, "All strong men, please take a seat!" ”

Jiang Qi and the others were quite cramped, hesitating and not daring to take their seats. Liu Wei was not reluctant, and asked: "I don't know why you strong men offended Yuan Shu?" ”

Jiang Qi was the first to reply: "A few days ago, when I was waiting for the rest of the shift, I met a bully on the street who wanted to bully Mintian, and I couldn't see it, so I took action to teach the bully, who knew that there was a young man in gorgeous clothes next to the bully who was his friend, and when he saw us teaching the bully, he commanded his evil slaves to stop us.

We fought hard, and all the evil slaves were defeated. Because he was angry that the young man in gorgeous clothes helped him to abuse, he also shot at him. The young man's skills are also good, but he can't stand up to us and others, and he was beaten to the ground by us in more than ten rounds. Although among them, he also called himself the captain of Changshui, but I had already beaten my eyes, no matter how many of them, I taught them a hard lesson, and then left.

Today, we inspected the palace as usual, Bai Chang Zheng Fang suddenly shot at us, we were in a hurry to respond to the battle and were finally outnumbered by it, at this moment I knew that the person was really Changshui Captain Yuan Shu, Fang Zhi caused a big disaster! ”

After listening to Jiang Qi's narration, Liu Wei also understood the general situation. That Yuan Shu is known as the "ghost in the road" in Luoyang City, and no one dares to provoke him when he runs rampant in Luoyang, and it is not surprising that he has a few bully friends, but what worries Liu Wei is that the incident of tyrannical domination of Mintian can be said to be a microcosm of the land annexed by the scholars of the entire Han Empire, and it is also the biggest harm to the country. The suppression of land annexation began with the founding of Emperor Guangwu, but with the increasing popularity of the government, the wind of annexation began to become more and more prevalent. This was a stubborn disease of the entire feudal society, and the various dynasties in history did not completely solve it, and the ultimate consequence of land annexation was that more and more peasants lost their land, and the social contradictions were sharp, which eventually led to peasant uprisings.

Not long ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out because of this, which seriously shook the foundation of the Han Dynasty's rule, although it did not completely destroy it, but it also made the Han Empire crumbling!

When the old empire is destroyed, the country will be plunged into a long period of division and turmoil, the population will be greatly reduced, the land problem will be solved, and the rulers will adopt some policies to combat the annexation of the nobles, and a new empire will be born.

However, a new empire will give rise to a new class of nobles, which is determined by the feudal system. The early rulers were enlightened, and the empire might enter a phase of prosperity. But when the government began, a new round of land annexation by the scholars would begin, followed by peasant uprisings, the empire fell apart, and the Chinese nation fell into a new round of vicious circle.

The "big plan" written by Liu Wei is to completely change this vicious circle. However, this is a very difficult thing, the changes of various dynasties in history have failed, not to mention the future dynasties, Wang Mang's failure to reform more than a hundred years ago is a living example!

However, as a traverser, Liu Wei naturally has more than a thousand years of insight than the people of this era. Moreover, he also has enough patience to change the fate of this nation little by little and create an immortal empire of his own.

But Liu Wei also understands that if you want to change the world, you must first have the ability to change the world. Only when you obtain the supreme power of this empire can you have the opportunity to change this empire.

Liu Wei didn't worry much about this, even if he didn't do anything now, he would become an emperor according to the development of history, but he was short-lived. Therefore, becoming the emperor and gaining absolute control is what Liu Wei plans to do now.

Over the years, Liu Bianyan has been thinking hard and finally has some plans. And quietly.

In the future, there are three major groups blocking his path to absolute power, the eunuch group headed by Zhang Rang, the foreign relatives group headed by He Jin, and Dong Zhuo's warlord group. The first two were the malignant tumors of the Eastern Han Empire, and the two sides took turns to control the government and government, treating the emperor as their puppet. And Dong Zhuo is the person who will kill him in the future.

Liu Wei already had a plan to deal with them, but he still needed to plan carefully. And the planned support of force is indispensable.

Although it is impossible for Liu Wei to raise a large number of troops as a prince, there are still some guards. The main thing is that he needs some reliable generals to help him control the army in the future. Although the famous generals of this era are like treasures in his heart, as a prince, he can't collect generals all over the world. Those who are not famous are not easy to find, and those who are famous are reluctant to come for various reasons. The result is that Liu Wei has not even met a familiar famous general since he was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Since he couldn't accept those famous ministers and fierce generals for the time being, Liu Wei set his sights on ordinary people like Wei Yi and Jiang Qi who were unknown in history. Although the talent of a famous player is important, the hard work of the day after tomorrow is also crucial.

Just like what Liu Wei said with Jiang Qi in Nangong: There will be no seeds, and men should be strong! Although Jiang Qi and the others in front of him are ordinary now, but in his previous life, Liu Wei had read a lot of military stories and military classics in the library, and if these advanced military cultures were taught to them, through their own efforts, they would not necessarily be worse than those famous generals in the future.

It's just that I don't know what Jiang Qi means yet. Looking at their panicked looks, Liu Wei decided to exit and probe tentatively: "I don't know what the strong men plan now? ”

Jiang Qi and the others looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes. Everyone was led by Jiang Qi, and they all set their eyes on him.

Jiang Qi thought for a moment and replied, "If I offend Yuan Shu, there will be no shelter in Luoyang City. We want to go south to the land of Jingchu to avoid trouble. ”

Liu Wei nodded without doing anything, and continued to ask: "Can a strong man rely on the land of Jingchu when he goes south?" ”

"This ......" Jiang Qi said with an embarrassed red face, "It's just wandering around!" ”

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "If there is chaos today, thieves are everywhere. When you go south to a foreign land and have no support, will it not be easy for you to go astray and tarnish your reputation? ”

Thinking that Liu Wei had misunderstood that he was going to join the thief, Jiang Qi blushed and said loudly: "Although we don't read much, we also know right and wrong, and we will never go south to become thieves and tarnish our clean reputation!" ”

"The strong man misunderstood." Liu Wei waved his hand to show that he had no such intention. "I want to ask if the strong men are willing to stay with me as a guard?"

Jiang Qi and the others glanced at each other in disbelief, but Jiang Qi took the lead and said: "We are treating the guilty people, if we stay by His Highness's side, won't we affect His Highness?" ”

Liu Wei smiled and asked Jiang Qi, "Don't you think it's strange for the strong man?" ”

Jiang Qi was at a loss, not knowing what Liu Wei was referring to.

"If you and others violate the Han law, you will have your own court lieutenants to arrest you, how can a Bai Chang come forward?" Liu Wei reminded him.

The others were still confused, but Jiang Qi was the first to wake up, and said in a cold sweat: "The situation was tense at the time, I didn't think about it, but now I think about it is really suspicious." It must be that Yuan Shu didn't dare to make his ugly things public, so he bribed Zheng Fang and arrested us so that he could fabricate other charges to punish us! ”

After Jiang Qiyi said it, others also understood. There was a violent and vulgar character, and he immediately broke out and scolded. Jiang Qi stopped the scolding and everyone's discussions, reflexively knelt on the ground, and said to Liu Wei: "I can wait to get out of the great trouble, thanks to the help of His Highness." I can't repay Your Highness for saving your life, please accept my waiting! ”

When the others heard this, they also knelt on the ground and thanked them. Liu Wei hurriedly helped them up and said, "Strong men don't have to be like this. You and others are loyal and conscientious to defend the court, and help the weak and eliminate evil. It's just that Yuan Shu is very hateful, and he is still a third prince of the Yuan family, the Luoyang Wang clan! ”

Jiang Qi was helped up by Liu Wei, his heart was moved, he glanced at the comrades around him, everyone cast a firm look at him, and then made up his mind, and said: "We are deeply favored by His Royal Highness, and I am willing to be sent by His Highness, and I will never give up!" ”

Liu Wei was overjoyed and asked, "Are the strong men willing to come to me as guards?" ”

Jiang Qi nodded solemnly, and then said with an embarrassed face: "I just don't know where Yuan Shu is......"

Liu said: "There is no need to worry about this. Since Yuan Shu only dared to attack you secretly, it can be seen that he did not dare to put things on the surface. I'll find someone to share this matter with you, Yuan Shu knows that you are in my place, and he doesn't dare to be too arrogant to trouble you!"

When Jiang Qi and the others heard this, they knelt down to thank Liu Wei and swore allegiance.

Liu Wei helped everyone up and arranged for Huangmen to take them down to rest. Looking at their elated backs when they got out of trouble, he himself was very happy in his heart.

Wen has Wei Yi, Wu has Jiang Qi, and his own team has begun to take shape. Although the loyalty of these two people will be tested slowly, Liu Wei feels that there is no big problem. Feelings are to be cultivated slowly. In this era, there is still a popular moral norm of "the one who dies for his confidant", and he brought them and Weimo, and saved their lives, even if the initial relationship with himself is still strange, but with the passage of time, this feeling will disappear in the continuous relationship, and the only thing left is to be loyal to oneself!
