Xun Yu didn't tell anyone what he thought, but Liu Xuan could detect that this Mr. Xun Wenruo was not as lifeless as he was a while ago, and he didn't look interested in anything.

It is estimated that his words made this Xun Yu understand something, and at the same time he had expectations for what would happen in the future, and wanted to take a good look at the excitement?

"No matter what he thinks, anyway, this Xun Yu will not be out of my grasp for the time being!"

As long as Xun Yu does not leave the imperial court, then it is possible for Liu Xuan to completely incorporate him into his command and give advice for himself.

In fact, it is not surprising that Liu Xuan attaches so much importance to a talent, because his current identity fundamentally restricts his recruitment of talents.

Because he is the emperor, he can't run outside the palace if he has nothing to do, so it is impossible to take the initiative to contact those heroes and heroes scattered all over the world.

At the same time, because of the identity of the Son of Heaven, he can't casually promote and appoint the people he values like those princes and heroes - to put it bluntly, the official positions held by Liu Xuan are too high-end, and he can't directly promote some people who are not even white to such a high position - Guan Yu and Dian Wei are fugitives, and they are inferior to white bodies.

The people he can promote and appoint are basically people who have entered the imperial court system, and it is not so easy to find available people among these people, so he will pay so much attention to Xun Yu after he discovers - no matter what, Xun Yu has solved his own strategist problem, and if he encounters any problems in the future, there will be someone who can work together as a staff officer.

What makes Liu Xuan happiest is that Xun Yu is by his side, and he can ask the nearest question at any time, which makes him the happiest the most.

However, at this time, he did not talk to Xun Yu about what should happen in the future, but sat in his bedroom, looking at the woman in front of him with a headache.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a woman, it is better to say that it is a girl to come, the girl saw Liu Xuan coming in, and immediately bowed and said: "Concubine Cai Yan, meet Your Majesty!"

The emperor's wedding is a very important matter, and even the three princes and nine kings have to be busy, what to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, and then amnesty the world, etc., and the etiquette is also extremely cumbersome, if in a normal year, it is not uncommon to be busy for a year.

But now that the Han family is in decline, the world is chaotic, and the powerful ministers control the government, the ministers don't have such a mind, and Liu Xuan doesn't like to be too troublesome, so the emperor's wedding was hastily dealt with.

Although there should be no lack of steps, but things are always a little sloppy, and they are not even announced to the world, only the princes in the court know that the daughter of Emperor Nashangshu Cai Yong is a concubine, and even have the heart to establish it as a queen.

In the palace of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the hierarchy of concubines was very simple, especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were only three grades left: queen, nobleman and beauty.

Among them, the queen does not talk about it, the nobles are serious emperor's concubines, enjoy a lot of treatment, and they also have a monthly salary to receive, while the beauty has nothing, and can only hope that she will please the emperor more, and then get more rewards and the like.

Cai Yan entered the palace, and now he is a nobleman, but Liu Xuan has no heart to pay attention to those at the moment, he is there at this time, unscrupulously looking at this woman who is about to become his wife.

"Before the crossing, it was just a defeated dog ** silk, and then I crossed and was busy cultivating and expanding the empire, but I didn't put too much thought into this matter of men and women, at this time, I think about it, this Cai Yan turned out to be my first wife who was married to Ming Media. ”

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed, especially when I see Cai Yan, who is just a young girl, this sigh in my heart is even stronger.

"How old are you?"

"The concubine is sixteen this year. ”

Sixteen?

Liu Xuan calculated and found that Cai Yan should have been born in 174, and according to Liu Xuan's habits, he should be fifteen years old at this time. However, at this time, it is customary to count the virtual age, which is exactly sixteen.

"This ...... It's a little small, I can't get my hands on it!"

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull, and Liu Xuan had to casually pull a topic to divert his attention: "Is there a word?"

"Concubine Wen Ji!"

Liu Xuan naturally knew that Cai Yan was called Wen Ji, and later generations also called him Cai Wen Ji, although he knew that Cai Yan in history should be called Zhao Ji, and later when he revised history, he changed it to Wen Ji because he avoided Sima Zhao. But who made the world more historical? Naturally, it didn't come out like that.

Relatively speechless, Liu Xuan found that he didn't know what to say, and finally had to say: "It's not early, rest in peace." ”

Then he saw Cai Yan's face turned red, and after bowing his head in response, he helped Liu Xuan take off his clothes very gently, and finally lay down on the dragon couch together.

This night...... Nothing happened.

Liu Xuan got up early the second day, then washed up and ate breakfast as usual, and then took Zhang Rang and Cao Bao to the court on time, watched Dong Zhuo's performance in the court, and finally dispersed on time, took a walk in the palace, and then began to deal with some government affairs.

The days passed so plainly, and soon the second year of Yonghan came, and on the first day after the New Year, Liu Xuan suddenly said: "This year has finally arrived!"

At that time, only Xun Yu was beside him, and he was curious when he heard this: "Why did Your Majesty say this?"

Liu Xuan put down the fold he was looking at in his hand and said with a smile: "Since last autumn, what Dong Zhuo has done has spread all over the world. Coupled with the fact that I have hardly done anything since I ascended the throne, all the heroes in the world should think that I am controlled by Dong Zhuo. ”

When Xun Yu heard this, he immediately woke up: "Dong Zhuo is autocratic, and all the heroes in the world are dissatisfied, so these 'princes' outside are afraid to make big moves to fight for their own interests." ”

The so-called Qing Jun side, Kuang Fu Han Room is just some excuses, what these heroes really care about is that if they lead their troops into Beijing and kill Dong Zhuo, then Dong Zhuo's current status, isn't it what he will get?

Of course, it can't be said that all the heroes think this way, but it is almost inevitable to want to fight for some benefits for themselves.

Liu Xuan is not ready to continue to wait, after all, without Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo and fleeing to his hometown, and then raising a righteous army to issue a message calling on the heroes of the world, when will those heroes who have their own thoughts in their hearts be connected together?

Rather than waiting, take the initiative.

"Did Your Majesty make any arrangements?" Xun Yu thought about it, and finally asked curiously. Of course, knowing the details can make him make more detailed inferences, and since the Son of Heaven wants to use himself as a strategist, then at least let himself know the current details.

Liu Xuan naturally didn't hide it from him, and said directly: "Yesterday, I asked Meng De to go to Lu Zigan's mansion and make Lu Zigan write a letter to someone. ”

"Someone?" Xun Yu didn't pay attention to the content of the letter, and he didn't care how Liu Xuan thought of going to Lu Zhi, but was curious about who Lu Zhi wrote to?

"Could it be Bohai Yuan Shao?"

Now that Yuan Shao is the Taishou of the Bohai Sea, pacifying the place, recruiting talents, and having a large army in hand, if Liu Xuan wants the foreign ministers to lead troops to defeat Dong Zhuo, this Yuan Shao seems to be the best choice - not to mention the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, whose reputation is given by the Han family, even if he makes a gesture, he cannot refuse the secret edict of the Son of Heaven.

After all, Yuan Shao at this time was not the number one prince in the north who later owned the four states of Hebei and had millions of soldiers, and the secret edict of the Son of Heaven still needed to be obeyed.

I didn't want Liu Xuan to shake his head directly, and then said: "I heard that Lu Zhi has a disciple, surnamed Liu Mingbei Xuande, after claiming to be in the Han Dynasty, a few years ago when the Yellow Turban was raging, he had repeatedly made military exploits, and now Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu have both written to show their merits, and then they have been protected by Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, and are now serving as the commander of Pingyuan County. ”

Liu Xuan simply told Liu Bei's situation, and then denied it as learning from Cao Cao, which naturally would not arouse anyone's suspicion. What's more, when he had nothing to do with Cao Cao, he did talk about Liu Bei.

At that time, Cao Cao had a high opinion of Liu Bei, thinking that this person would definitely have something great to do in the future. As for the so-called identity of the Han family, no one cares too much.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty by Gaozu Liu Bang, the descendants of the Liu family can be called the most capable group of dynasties. Liu Bei's ancestor, Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, alone gave birth to one hundred and twenty sons.

It is said that at the peak of the Han Dynasty, anyone surnamed Liu was related to the royal family, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as the surname is Liu, you can have something to do with the Han family.

The key question is, whether you are a member of the Han family, not that you say it yourself or really have that bloodline, the most important point is whether the emperor acknowledges this?

If the emperor admits that even if your ancestor really has nothing to do with the royal family, he can find some connection for you - anyway, the descendants of the Liu family are all over the world, and if you look carefully, you will definitely be able to find a person who matches someone's ancestor, isn't this relationship directly set up?

If the emperor doesn't admit it, even if you really recite the genealogy, it's useless, anyway, according to the customs of the time, your relative would have been 108,000 miles away from his family a long time ago, and even if he didn't recognize it, no one would think it was inappropriate.

Liu Bei's situation is similar, he may indeed be a relative of the Han family, but if the Son of Heaven admits it, the identity of the Han family can only be said - it's okay for people to take it seriously, if the other party ignores this, you have nothing to do.

A typical example is that Liu Yan took it seriously, so he was polite to Liu Bei. Of course, it was not excluded that Liu Yan at that time wanted to treat Liu Bei as a gunman, so he deliberately pulled some closeness and gave Liu Bei some better looks.

Lu Zhi didn't take it seriously, he had been in the court for a long time, and the Son of Heaven also saw him every day, and it was really difficult for Liu Bei, a distant relative who couldn't be beaten with eight poles, to make him take it to heart.

Later, if Liu Bei hadn't taken the soldiers and horses to help Lu Zhi in the war, it is estimated that Lu Zhi would never have remembered that he had taught a student named Liu Bei in his life.

But even so, Lu Zhi still didn't take Liu Bei too seriously, so when Cao Cao came to the door and mentioned Liu Bei as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Zhi was also confused, and he didn't understand what Cao Cao meant?

"Today, Dong Zhuo is authoritarian, very domineering, and wants to call on the world's heroes to raise troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but he is in Beijing, and he has to protect His Majesty thoroughly, and it is not easy to act, so he must have a person outside to send that thief document. ”
