Luoyang, the imperial palace court, except for a few generals who led the army to guard the border, almost all the civil and military officials of the New Han Dynasty gathered in the palace, and they were all listed in the palace with a solemn face.

At present, what is being discussed is a court discussion related to the future fate and future of the New Han Dynasty, and even related to the future fate and future of the entire Han Dynasty, so no one dares to slack off, and everyone takes this court discussion seriously.

Liu Yi was also sitting on the throne at the moment, sitting next to the dragon seat.

"Ministers, from now on, I will hand over all affairs of the DPRK and China, including government affairs and military affairs, to the Minister Regent, Taifu Liu Yi and Uncle Liu Huang, and the opinions of Taifu are my opinions, and the resolutions of Taifu are my resolutions."

Young Emperor Liu Xie, he has begun to take on manly characteristics, his body has grown, and his voice is much lower.

He also said with a solemn face, stood up from the dragon seat, and opened the hanging beads of the crown, so that his still heroic and slightly childish face was completely exposed in the eyes of the ministers of the court.

Young Emperor Liu Bian, the older he gets, the more he looks like the Ling Emperor when he was young, and even his temperament is a little similar. Until now, Liu Yi established the New Han Dynasty in 188 and regarded him as the emperor, but he has not been able to grow up and develop a trace of kingly spirit, it seems, he is still so ignorant, for the political affairs of the court, even if many courtiers in the court deliberately want to cultivate him, but still not interested in the political affairs of the court. Over the years, he has learned a lot, but more importantly, he has learned the Tao from the Taoist uncle Huang, and he has been studying something all day long. The five elements are made of it. "Study what yin and yang are all things, what is the Tao, and how to be eternal.

Of course. It is said that it is research, but it is not true, Liu Wei is just attracted by some teachings of Taoism, just learning, immersed in it, as if there is another world. Speaking of which, it may also be because the court gave him too much darkness in his young heart. made him not want to face all kinds of things in the palace anymore, so he was deliberately avoiding something. Subconsciously doesn't want to pay attention to the power of the throne anymore, and doesn't want to deal with the political affairs of the national economy and people's livelihood that overwhelm him.

He followed the emperor's uncle, the Taoist, at first to learn the practice of the alchemist, and later by Liu Yi's deliberate mention. From this, gunpowder was developed. The real gunpowder was officially introduced. Now, gunpowder has been basically perfected, and gunpowder has been accepted into the military, which is already a military secret. Gunpowder and technical techniques have been developed by a separate department set up by the military department of the New Han Dynasty to deal with and develop them on a full-time basis. Therefore, the young emperor no longer cares about this aspect of the matter, and focuses more on learning the Tao.

Another attractive part of the Tao. That is to say, those who have attained the Tao can live forever and become immortals. This "Tao". Through praying to the gods or cultivating, you can attain the Tao, return to the roots, be one with the Tao, live forever in the body, immortal and immortal, soar in the daytime, and exist in the fairy world forever.

For this aspect of "Dao", Liu Yi also felt a little headache, because, although Liu Yi himself came from the scientific and technological world of later generations, Liu Yi really didn't dare to say whether "Dao" existed. Because he himself has been in contact with the Dao, at least, the old Taoist priest who adopted him seems to be an old man who has attained the Tao, although he will not become an immortal or a god, but it always makes Liu Yi feel that the old Tao is different from mortals.

What's more, Liu Yi returned to this ancient era from the postmodern era, which itself cannot be explained by common sense science, plus the Yuanyang Divine Skill he practiced, I don't know if the Dao is a way of cultivation in the Dao.

Now, the Young Emperor has a tendency that seems to be developing in the direction of seeking the way of immortality. And Liu Yi didn't know how to guide him.

At the beginning, when he learned the art of practicing Dan, Liu Yi could still guide him from the medical aspect, so that although the Dan he practiced could not make people immortal, it could still save people and cure diseases. Now as the young emperor grows up, he has slowly formed his independent character and has his own ideas.

If the young emperor wants to seriously learn the way to become a wise king, Liu Yi will naturally not stop him, if he can learn and eventually become an enlightened king, Liu Yi will be happy to relax. Because Liu Yi is still relatively satisfied with the current situation, when the emperor is too tired, how can he be like now, he can refuse at any time, and enjoy the joy of family with a group of beautiful wives and concubines?

Although, Liu Yi also knew that the civil and military officials of the New Han Dynasty now all looked at him as the head of the horse, and his speech was more useful than the emperor's holy decree. However, it has really come to the point where Liu Yi is now responding to all calls, especially like Liu Yi, in the eyes of people from later generations, it doesn't matter whether he is an emperor or not, whether he is an emperor or not. Like Liu Yi, a guy who prefers beauties, so as long as it doesn't threaten him, then the country is not very important.

This is a troubled time, and Liu Yi will struggle to survive in this troubled era, and will set up several bases, and establish the New Han Dynasty and the New Han Army. If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, it is rare for Liu Yicai to care about any big Han people, what Han people, as long as he does not threaten him, he would rather be a peaceful and prosperous prince, or be a rich man, with his wife and beautiful family, playing among the mountains and rivers. Anyway, how to live comfortably, how Liu Yi will live, stealing incense and stealing jade in his spare time, circling in the wind and snow, this is the life that Liu Yi wants.

However, some time ago, the young emperor rarely took the initiative to invite Liu Yi to the palace, and took the initiative to talk to Liu Yi once, and everyone talked openly and honestly, and even the queen mother He Wan didn't know what to say.

The young emperor actually proposed that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of miles of books, and this cultivation is the same reason, and he plans to follow the Taoist uncle to travel and seek Taoism and concentrate on cultivation. The young emperor proposed that he never seriously studied and dealt with the affairs of the imperial court, not because he didn't want to study, but because he really didn't want to put his mind on this aspect. Therefore, since the establishment of the New Han Dynasty, the New Han Dynasty can now have such a good situation, everything has nothing to do with him, and, with the structure of the New Han Dynasty is now different from the previous old dynasties, and the subdivision of the positions and positions of court officials is not used, even if there is no emperor to deal with government affairs, the New Han Dynasty can still do a normal and good operation. He didn't have to worry about it at all.

This little one, he pointed out the same. Today's New Han Dynasty seems to be completely different from the original Old Dynasty, with relatives, eunuchs, and ministers. They can no longer disrupt the government. The official positions of the imperial court are all from the capable to the incompetent, and the origin of the official is no longer considered, and whether the official has a relationship in the court is no longer considered.

Today's New Han Dynasty is really a new imperial court, with national laws to follow and laws to be found. Don't talk about him as an emperor. Even if Liu Yi, the Taifu, only asks about political affairs, I am afraid that there will be no more disorderly political affairs.

Each government department in the DPRK has its own division of labor. Each has its own position, does not subordinate to each other, and restricts each other, making the court of the New Han Dynasty. is developing in a benign direction......

Well. The young emperor said so much, and in the end he wanted to discuss with Liu Yi, whether he could give way to the emperor in Liu Yi, and he could put down his burden and follow the Taoist uncle to travel and seek the Tao. In fact, this is also the meaning of the Taoist imperial uncle, because the Taoist imperial uncle, he was concentrating on cultivation in the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum, and was later taken back to the palace. After so many years in the palace, he felt. If he stayed in the palace any longer, there would be no benefit to his great cause of cultivation, so he wanted to leave the palace and travel the world.

Young Emperor Liu Wei is intoxicated with Taoism at this moment, and he doesn't want to be separated from the Taoist emperor's uncle, so he will have a talk with Liu Yi.

Liu Yi thought about it for a long time before rejecting the young emperor, because Liu Yi felt that it was not the right time for him to accept the throne, no matter what, the young emperor was now the rightful emperor of the New Han Dynasty, no matter what the reason or purpose, as long as the young emperor really gave way to Liu Yi, it would inevitably cause an uproar in the Han Dynasty. When the time comes, there will definitely be countless so-called people loyal to the Han family who will jump out to accuse Liu Yi, and there will definitely be countless people who will scold Liu Yi as a thief, a thief, and a thief of the country.

These things are really indescribable.

Of course, Liu Yi is not worried about the criticism of the people of the world, but Liu Yi is worried that he will take over the throne when he has not yet unified the Han Dynasty, which will affect the future war to unify the Han Dynasty.

When the name is not right, the resistance will be very great.

Therefore, Liu Yi felt that it was not time for the young emperor to leave the palace and give up the throne of the cicada. In the end, Liu Yi said to the young emperor that as long as the new Han Dynasty unified the Han Dynasty, if he really wanted to put down everything and concentrate on seeking the Tao, then Liu Yi could let him go. In order to appease the heart of the young emperor, Liu Yi also found the Taoist emperor's uncle, had a long talk with him, and asked him to stay for the time being, Liu Yi promised him that the short would be two years, the long would be three or five years, and more than five years, he and the young emperor could leave at any time.

In this way, after reaching an agreement with the young emperor and his Taoist uncle Liu Zong, the young emperor proposed that he would formally hand over the power of the imperial court to Liu Yi, and he, during the period when the New Han Dynasty sent troops to unify the Han Dynasty, would go to live in the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum with the Taoist emperor and concentrate on learning Taoism.

For this proposal, Liu Yi did not agree immediately, but invited the Empress Dowager He Wan, and after discussing with her, she finally agreed.

Empress Dowager He Wan, she actually understands the darkness of the court more deeply than this emperor's son. Although now, Liu Yi is her friend, the current court seems to be quite enlightened period, and there is no such thing as a court dispute. However, she knew that the Dao, especially the example of the former emperor Liu Hong, taught her a lesson, and made her understand that the palace would definitely not be too simple.

Now, it is only when the New Han Dynasty has just begun, who can say for sure in the future? The people in the palace will not fight each other, but the queen mother is a little worried that when the world is unified in the future and the whole country is governed, I am afraid that there will be many unexpected accidents. She didn't want to experience another palace battle, and she didn't want her son to become a puppet of some people like the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong back then.

An emperor without real power is tantamount to tragedy. She herself also hopes that when her son has not really grown up and has not yet developed a desire for power, let him leave, so that he can live a peaceful and happy life for the rest of his life.

A country, a court, it's really not too simple. The so-called where there are people, there will be fighting, even if the young emperor himself can see it, and only intends to be a happy emperor in the palace, but where in the world will there be such a cheap thing? When the time comes, it is natural that all kinds of troubles will come to your door.

The queen is not worried that Liu Yi will fail her in the future, but is worried that if it is really the young emperor who is the emperor, and Liu Yi will take his wife and children to go back to Dongting Lake to live in seclusion, or go somewhere else. So, can the young emperor shake the imperial court?

is also known as knowing the husband Mo Ruo's wife, as one of Liu Yi's women. The Empress Dowager He Wan knew that Liu Yi's mind was not in the country but in the beauty. If Liu Yi had to stay in Luoyang with something that could tie Liu Yi, Liu Yi would probably really ignore the imperial court. Therefore, the best way is to let Liu Yi be the emperor of the new Han Dynasty, and only in this way. Only then will she be at ease, and the Han will truly achieve long-term peace and stability.

Well. There is another thing, the Queen Mother He Wan is a little worried in her heart, in fact, this is also the worry that she and many women have had in recent years.

What is it? It's that they all feel that they have grown with the years. They all felt that they would grow old before Lewy. They are worried that they will grow old one day, and Liu Yi is still so young and strong, and it seems that it will be difficult for them to attract Liu Yi when they are with Liu Yi.

Hehe, don't be surprised, women, when the love is strong. They may not think much about it, and they can be with Ailang. One day will be happy for a lifetime. However, the days go by day by day, and as the years go by, they naturally have this worry.

Well, let's do the math, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Yi began to set foot on the historical stage of the Three Kingdoms. It was 184, and before you knew it, it was already the autumn of 193. In other words, Liu Yi has been in this world for almost ten years.

When Liu Yi and the Empress Dowager He Wan met each other, how old was He Wan? This can actually be calculated. She was born as a young emperor in 176 and was named empress in 180.

She was favored by Emperor Ling not long after entering the palace, and it should take at least a year to give birth to the young emperor, that is to say, she is estimated to have been drafted into the palace between 174 and 175, and being able to become a show girl is also the result of her father He Zhen spending money to bribe officials.

With her appearance, are all the officials in the draft blind? If the show girls they choose can be favored by the emperor and please the emperor, they, as draft officials, will naturally benefit a lot. Therefore, in fact, He Wan was not selected as a show girl because of her background, but another problem, that is, her age.

Show girls are generally girls between the ages of 14 and 18. There are also some notes left in the palace that can be found.

According to the customs of the Han Dynasty, women can generally marry and have children at the age of 14, and women who are over 18 years old will be regarded as old women. Even if she won't be seen as an old woman, she will be mistaken for a problematic woman. Otherwise, why don't you marry after 18? In the words of later generations, during the Han Dynasty, women who did not marry after the age of 18 were leftover women.

At the time of the draft, He Wan may have been over 18 years old, and it is estimated that she gave birth to the young emperor Liu Wei at 20. In this way, she is now 38 years old.

A 38-year-old woman, who would dare to say young?

is almost forty, if it is an ordinary folk woman, a woman is over forty, I am afraid that she will already be old, and even begin to have gray hair.

Therefore, He Wan will always feel a little worried more and more now, for fear that she will not be able to last long with Liu Yi. Therefore, the young emperor was able to propose it himself, so that the emperor Yu Liu Yi was happy in her heart, because, in this way, she at least would not worry about this son anymore. And Liu Yi is the emperor, she can at least stay by Liu Yi's side, even if Liu Yi really dislikes her, she can stay in the palace.

If Liu Yi is the emperor, then the queen. The palace three thousand beauties are just a trivial matter, and there is not much more than her.

Well, these, of course, are just a little worry in He Wan's heart, really, but there is no situation where Liu Yi dislikes her. Perhaps, it is the coming of a woman's menopause that makes her particularly thoughtful.

In general, things were settled like this.

Therefore, on this day, before discussing how the New Han Dynasty would officially send troops to unify the Han Dynasty, the Young Emperor first announced such a decision to the courtiers.

The young emperor stood up, and then put the heirloom jade seal placed on the dragon case with both hands.

The jade seal of the country has been officially taken out for use, as a symbol of the emperor, and all holy decrees or decrees must have the seal of the jade seal. Of course, this heirloom jade seal is a true fact, and it has not yet been announced to the world. This is just that some important ministers of the New Han Dynasty learned that the heirloom jade seal used now is real.

Well, earlier, the national seal used by the imperial court, and now the national seal used by Cao Cao's imperial court, are actually carved in imitation of the real heirloom jade seal, and the seals stamped are the same. Of course, if there is a discerning person, you can still distinguish between the true and the false.

The young emperor stood in front of the emperor's case, held the jade seal of the country with both hands, and said to the courtiers cautiously: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am young and cannot handle the political affairs of the DPRK and the DPRK well, and in my heart, I am not attentive to the political affairs of the DPRK, which is my dereliction of duty. If it weren't for Taifu, Lord Xi, Lord Jia, and the two Lord Xun, as well as Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, Min Gong, Cai Yong, Zhang Jun, etc., who presided over the political affairs of the DPRK and China, I am afraid that the New Han Dynasty would not have such a prosperous good situation. I have already decided that in the future, I will focus on learning the Tao and cultivating myself, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to ask about the political and military affairs of the DPRK and China. Therefore, in order not to affect the affairs of our New Han Dynasty to send troops to unify the Han Dynasty, I decided to hand over the jade seal of the country to Taifu together, so that Taifu can handle all state affairs on my behalf. From now on, seeing Taifu will be equivalent to seeing me and being the emperor! ”

"Your Majesty!"

In fact, the ministers of the court and the central government did not know that the young emperor of Lu Dao had such a decision, and this kind of concession actually had a little bit of a taste of abdication. Therefore, although it was decided by Liu Yi and the young emperor after an open and honest talk, Liu Yi himself was not good at talking nonsense, even if it was Xi Zhicai and others, Liu Yi did not tell him.

Therefore, at this moment, before the start of the court meeting, the young emperor made such an announcement, which really surprised the ministers in the court, and many courtiers also exclaimed. (To be continued......)
