On the first day of the first month of the third year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven personally presided over the annual court meeting. Although the world is getting more and more chaotic www.biquge.info the specifications of the Great Dynasty Meeting have not been reduced at all.

Due to the influence of Liu Miao's tribute, many shepherds in Tianxia Prefecture sent envoys, such as Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao, Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, etc., all the tribute herdsmen have received corresponding benefits, some in positions and some in titles.

Among them, what attracted Liu Miao's attention the most was that Liu Bei, the commander of Pingyuan County, actually came to Chang'an in person, and at the same time represented the two forces of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Youbeiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, and was finally promoted to Pingyuan Xiang by the Son of Heaven himself. Liu Miao had to admire that this future hero was really good at seizing opportunities, he obtained the position of Pingyuan Xiang earlier than the original history, and it was not the kind that Gongsun Zhan privately appointed and was not recognized by the imperial court. It is conceivable that Liu Bei has since gained the capital to become a prince.

Of course, among all the shepherds, it was Liu Miao, a role model who was promoted by the imperial court, who benefited the most. Liu Miao was personally held by the Son of Heaven in front of the palace, called "Uncle Huang", worshiped as Yangzhou Mu, added the general of Zhendong, and increased the number of households by 1,000.

It may be the first time that he has exercised power on such a grand and grand occasion, and the twelve-year-old Son of Heaven seems to be in high spirits, and there is no lack of enveloping in his words. Liu Miao respectfully thanked him, but he only had pity and sympathy in his heart, this young son of heaven is indeed brilliant, with maturity and ability far beyond his age, if he was not born at the wrong time, maybe he could really become a generation of Ming Jun, but unfortunately, all this is destined not to belong to him.

As long as the courtiers with a little sober mind know that this court meeting is just a routine, and it is still Dong Zhuo who really controls the main theme. The canonization of the Son of Heaven was carried out in accordance with Dong Zhuo's will, and even the jade seal representing the authority of the Son of Heaven was also in Dong Zhuo's hands.

This court meeting seems to be calm and happy, but the invisible smoke of gunpowder is everywhere. None of the Yuan brothers, the most high-profile princes in the world, came to pay tribute, which is self-evident.

The canonization of some shepherds by the imperial court is also intriguing, Gongsun Chan was appointed as the Jizhou Thorn History, Gongsun Zan General Tian Kai was appointed as the Qingzhou Thorn History, Cao Cao was appointed as the Yanzhou Thorn History, the original Yangzhou Thorn Chen Wen was reappointed as the Yuzhou Thorn History, so Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, the Changsha Taishou, was appointed as the Nanyang Taishou. Almost all of these territories were the Yuan brothers' sphere of influence, even their base camp.

Whether the appointee can take office smoothly is not something that Dong Zhuo considers, and the twists and turns and battles that will inevitably occur are what Dong Zhuo is happy to see.

Liu Miao is very aware of the consequences of Dong Zhuo's move, which is tantamount to adding another fire to the chaotic situation and making the wheel of history take a big step forward. Thinking that the source of all these changes was Liu Miao himself, Liu Miao could only smile helplessly. Fortunately, Liu Miao has been prepared for a long time, and he is still the biggest beneficiary of this change, as long as he completely controls Yangzhou, he is confident to be invincible.

When Dong Zhuo began to enjoy the moving singing and dancing of Wang's female cuckoo, Liu Miao walked into Cai Yong's study.

In the past, as long as Dong Zhuo participated in the banquet, Cai Yong had to be present to play the piano to help the fun, but today is an exception. Cai Yong didn't know what this meant, but Liu Miao knew very well, and he believed that Dong Zhuo would not necessarily think of Cai Yong for a long time afterward, because his whole heart was devoted to the super beauty Du Juan.

"Zhiyuan, I finally got a break, I don't have to be an entertaining pianist, but you are entangled with me. But what is important to say today? Under Liu Miao's deliberate management, Cai Yong and Liu Miao's relationship is already very close, so Cai Yong speaks very casually.

"Miao is leaving Chang'an tomorrow." Liu Miao said slowly.

"Ah, so fast?" Cai Yong looked at Liu Miao unexpectedly.

According to the general situation, Liu Miao has just been promoted, and he is also an important position such as Yangzhou Mu, so he should use his new identity to be more active in the court and make friends with some courtiers to make political capital.

Cai Yong thought that Liu Miao didn't know these ways, so he told Liu Miao about them.

Liu Miao was very moved by Cai Yong's friendly reminder, and he strengthened his original thoughts.

"For me, the task of coming to Chang'an has been completed, and staying any longer is just a delay in time." Liu Miao said, "Actually, Miao came today not to say goodbye to Mr., but to invite Mr. to go to Huainan with me!" ”

"Invite me to Huainan?" Cai Yong was surprised again.

"Yes, I heard Yuan Si say that Mr. has long had the idea of leaving Chang'an, why don't you go with me? When I came to Chang'an, I brought 2,000 elite soldiers, and with me, I didn't have to worry about the pursuit of Dong Taishi. ”

Seeing that Cai Yong was silent, Liu Miao continued: "Mr. can take all the family members away, and I can guarantee the safety of everyone in Cai Mansion." In fact, Mr. doesn't have to worry about safety, and Dong Zhuo estimates that he doesn't have much energy to take care of Mr. recently. ”

"Why?" Cai Yong wondered.

Liu Miao originally didn't plan to tell Cai Yong about Wang Yun's plan, but after thinking about it, it would be better to tell Cai Yong about this, so as not to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

"I didn't expect there to be these inside information, so to speak, Mrs. Dong is in danger?"

After listening to Liu Miao's narration, Cai Yong, who had always thought that he had seen a lot of power struggles in the court, was also shocked, and at the same time, his eyes when he looked at Liu Miao also became complicated, but he didn't expect that the talented young man in front of him also played an important role in it. Cai Yong originally just regarded Liu Miao as a junior talent, just like his disciples Gu Yong and Wang Cang, but now he really realized Liu Miao's identity as a shepherd.

"If nothing else, Dong Zhuo is not far from death." Liu Miao said calmly.

"Aren't you worried that I'm going to tell Master Dong?"

Liu Miao smiled and shook his head, "Whether Wang Yun can succeed or not, whether Dong Zhuo dies or not, I actually don't care at all, because they don't have much to do with me." Besides, even if Mr. goes to tell Dong Zhuo now, it won't make much difference. I estimate that this plan may not be able to hide from Li Ru, if even Li Ru can't change Dong Zhuo's fate, will Mr.'s words be useful? ”

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew what Liu Miao meant. For Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong has complicated feelings, on the one hand, he is grateful to Dong Zhuo for his knowledge and respect, and on the other hand, he resents Dong Zhuo's misdeeds.

Cai Yong knew that his influence in front of Dong Zhuo was not enough to change anything, but he was concerned about the situation in the court, "Wang Yun is a person with a deep city and a strong desire for power, he controls the court, and he may not be better than Dong Zhuo!" ”

Liu Miao didn't expect Cai Yong to know Wang Yun very well, but he didn't want to express more opinions on this matter, so he had to say: "How can you know if you don't try?" I only know that most people in the world want Dong Zhuo to perish. ”

Cai Yong nodded, knowing this very well, so he no longer dwelled on this issue, and asked instead: "Zhiyuan asked me to go to Huainan because he wanted me to work for you?" ”

Liu Miao looked at Cai Yong's expression, couldn't figure out what he meant for a while, and said, "I respect Mr., just like Yuan sigh." Inviting Mr. to Huainan is mainly because he doesn't want Mr. to be hurt in the upcoming chaos in Chang'an. As for what kind of life Mr. chooses after arriving in Huainan, Miao will never interfere. However, I have a suggestion, and my husband also knows that I have established an education in Jiujiang County and opened Huaxia College, and my husband can choose to take a position in the college, and with my husband's reputation in China, I believe that the college can flourish faster, which is a good thing for future generations. There is no need for Mr. to do anything in the academy, Mr. can concentrate on revising Han history and fulfilling his long-cherished wish. What does the gentleman think? ”

Cai Yong was a little moved, compiling Han history was his lifelong wish, far more attractive than being an official or something.

"Sir has also seen the books I brought to Chang'an, Jiujiang County has mature papermaking and printing technology, which is very helpful for Mr. to revise the history of the Han Dynasty, and I can also deploy manpower to assist Mr. And in Jiujiang, Mr. doesn't have to worry about any movement. chaos, you can live a peaceful life. Liu Miao continued to persuade.

"Well, I believe Zhiyuan." Cai Yong finally nodded.

"I won't let my sir down!"

Liu Miao was very happy.

Cai Yong has a very high reputation among the scholars and ordinary people, and having him in Yangzhou is very beneficial to Liu Miao to attract talents, and if Cai Yong can wholeheartedly support Liu Miao, Liu Miao will have a great political advantage. This is the purpose of Liu Miao's efforts to persuade Cai Yong.
