Liu Xuan wanted the three families to send hostages, and he didn't even mind if the three families sent a fake one to help him, he just wanted to know what the Xianbei people of this era cared about, what kind of thoughts did they have, and what did they think of the Han Dynasty. **//

Anyway, as long as it's a Xianbei person—it's impossible for the three families to send a Han person, because it's too easy to see through.

There is still a big difference between the Xianbei and the Han people in this era, and there are even many Caucasians.

Although Murong, Yuwen and Duan Shi's three Xianbei families are also black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned, they still have many differences from the Han people in appearance, so they are not afraid of what tricks the three of them will play.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that after his order went down, two of the three envoys wanted to ask the Son of Heaven through the Ministry of Rites: "Are you willing to accept a Xianbei woman as a concubine?"

"What do you mean?"

Looking at Chen Lin and Sima Fang, who came to report, Liu Xuan didn't react to what was going on all of a sudden, but Sima Fang, who was not young, explained calmly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid these three families want to send their daughters to Your Majesty!"

Of course, sending a daughter is not just anyone's daughter, it must be the direct bloodline of the three families, that is, the direct bloodline of the Murong, Duan, and Yuwen families, and it is likely to be the daughter of the current lord of the Three Kingdoms.

In the eyes of the Xianbei people, if a woman can be called a concubine of the Han Emperor, there is no need for anything else, as long as you send some information from the palace when necessary, it will be of infinite use to the three families.

It would be better if you could please the emperor, and then have some pillow wind or something.

It's just that what they are worried about is, will the Han emperor agree to this request?

In fact, Liu Xuan was really not ready to agree-a woman he had never even seen was going to be stuffed into the palace? No matter what, at least he has to inspect the goods first, and he will only consider whether to stuff them into the palace if he sees them, what if he sends an ugly monster?

He didn't say that, but the expression on his face revealed a little reluctance

And Sima Fang is already an old man, and he doesn't need to look at it with his eyes, just a casual glance to understand that the Son of Heaven is not happy.

He didn't care why the emperor didn't want to, anyway, he now knew that the Son of Heaven didn't agree to this.

"The bloodline of the Heavenly Family, naturally no matter what anyone can contaminate, these Xianbei people are too ......" Sima Fang said casually, as if he was evaluating the Xianbei people, but in fact he gave the Son of Heaven a step down.

Although Liu Xuan sometimes doesn't look at these old ministers very pleasantly, he has to admit that these old ministers are really comfortable talking and doing things sometimes.

"Then be it, I have no prejudice against that Xianbei woman or anything, but this matter of sending a woman to the palace is over······ It's not easy to raise a daughter that big. ”

Chen Lin wanted to laugh twice when he heard the Son of Heaven say this, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he could only hold it back, and his face turned red.

But no matter what, the Son of Heaven understood that the emperor was not interested in accepting a Xianbei woman as a concubine, so the idea of those two families was in vain.

But it's not without benefits, at least knowing that the two countries represented by the Duan family and the Yuwen family don't have the idea of betraying the Han - at least they don't want to betray the Han for a short time.

Maybe they want to get more benefits from the big Han and increase their own strength, but no matter what, since these two families don't want to rebel now, it's okay.

As for the Murong clan of Beiyan, he couldn't see what he thought, but Chen Lin remembered that when he went to ask the envoy of the three families to ask the lord of the three kingdoms to send him to Luoyang in person, the face of the envoy of the Murong family seemed to change slightly.

"Maybe this Murong clan has some calculations?"

But these are all speculations, and it is not easy to say clearly, so I can only ask the people in the Intelligence Department to keep an eye on Beiyan as much as possible and collect more information, only in this way can we make more accurate judgments, and at the same time, if Beiyan really does something, they can also make countermeasures as soon as possible. ...,

The affairs of the Xianbei Three Kingdoms have been dealt with at this point, and the money and food awarded to the three families have already been loaded, and they can return to the north together when they wait for the envoy to prepare them.

The amount of money, grain, and cloth was extremely large, and it stands to reason that when Liaozhou still needs to be developed, the imperial court should not waste so much material resources to reward the subject country

But who let the Han family have a great business under Liu Xuan's governance? Even if so many things are sent, they are not afraid that there will not be enough materials to develop Liaozhou.

In addition to this reason, it is also because several important ministers of the imperial court know that these materials are also sent to the three countries for the purpose of developing infrastructure, in addition to stabilizing the situation of the three countries, in fact, from a certain point of view, it is also to help the Han lay the foundation for ruling this place in the future.

"Anyway, in the future, these three kingdoms will belong to our big Han, and it's not cheap for outsiders!"

Of course, there are also ministers who are worried: "What if the Xianbei Three Kingdoms exchange these materials for armaments to expand their military strength, and then unite with the country?"

"In that case, just destroy the Three Kingdoms and grab the things back!"

Liu Xuan waved his hand, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

The ministers wanted to say: "This war is not child's play, how can it be so casual?" But thinking about the strength of the Han Dynasty now, even if it is impossible to compare with it in all dynasties, it is really not difficult to destroy the three small Xianbei countries.

The Wuhuan and Goguryeo that plagued the northeast of the imperial court were extinguished, and when they returned to the army, they beat the Samhan Peninsula to a dying moment by the way, and it is estimated that before next summer, the land of Samhan will also be owned by the Han Dynasty.

is so strong, I really want no one to kill anyone.

If the Xian State was not destroyed, it was nothing more than the population problem that restricted the expansion of the Han Dynasty - if it was defeated, there would be no people to occupy it, how could this be governed?

Therefore, it's not that Dahan can't destroy Xianbei, but he doesn't want to destroy it for the time being.

If these three families do such a stupid thing without opening their eyes, then the soldiers of the Han Dynasty will not be polite in the slightest, and will directly flatten these three families-as for the place?

So Liu Xuan really has nothing to refute what he said, and that's the case!

"Great Han, it's not the weakened dynasty of a few years ago!"

Many old ministers sighed with emotion, and then gradually realized that they seemed to be a little old, and gradually couldn't keep up with the changes in the court.

"Maybe it's time to consider stepping down, dominating the position, I don't know how many people are dissatisfied!"

This kind of idea is not something that one person has, but it is impossible for Liu Xuan to agree to them if they want to retreat together. After all, it is a stable period now, and the court is not good for violent turmoil, and it is the right thing to change blood slowly.

In addition, some middle- and lower-level officials also need to continue to train for a period of time, after all, the way of governing the world is very different from before, and the problems they face are also different.

This is not Liu Xuan's random worry.

In particular, his current dynasty is very different from the previous dynasties, and this change will become greater and greater as time goes by, so many of the methods that worked in the past will definitely not be good now, so that some people who do not know how to adapt according to the script will be completely eliminated in this situation.

The last remaining will be the elite of the elite, and only these people are qualified to enter the center of the imperial court.

returned to the inner courtyard and told Cai Yan about the hostages and the delivery of the daughter, although Liu Xuan did not speak, but Cai Yan immediately understood why the Son of Heaven did not agree to that.

"Your Majesty is afraid that the Xianbei woman will look at her unpleasantly, right?", after getting along together for so long, Cai Yan has already touched Liu Xuan's personality thoroughly, including some preferences, and is also very familiar.

To put it bluntly, Liu Xuan's lustful nature has long been understood by Cai Yan, and this son of heaven's vision is quite high, and the best woman can't get into his eyes.

Maybe that Xianbei woman is not ugly - dare to say that she is dedicated to the emperor as a concubine, how can this appearance pass. The key is that it is useless to be simple and good-looking, otherwise there would not be only so many women in Liu Xuan's palace.

For example, the daughter of Fu Wan and the sister of Mi Zhu are also the best in terms of appearance, but Liu Xuan didn't even bother to give a few more times, so he married Liu Xie and Liu Bei respectively.

As for these in the palace, not only is their appearance a temporary choice, but they also have their own characteristics, which will be valued by the Son of Heaven. It's just that which feature of everyone you like, it is estimated that only Liu Xuan himself knows.

If Huang Yueying was here, it is estimated that she would immediately mock: "Mao's characteristic, he is a collector of celebrities!"

However, Huang Yueying was not there at this time, so naturally no one exposed Liu Xuan's habit.

"Huh, why does it smell like barbecue?"

is walking in the palace - even if it is a palace where he lives, there are garden courtyards and the like, Liu Xuan and Cai Yan are walking through the courtyard of the palace at this time, after all, the scenery here is also excellent, if you don't want to go to the imperial garden, you can relax here.

But the floral, grassy, and earthy aromas are not unusual, but what is the smell of this barbecue?

Glancing at Cai Yan, she was also puzzled, she couldn't tell what was going on, the two of them followed the fragrance all the way, and after a while, they saw Diao Chan and Huang Yueying squatting there, and several eunuchs next to her were busy coming and going, handing over something for a while, and a few maids dragging trays, on which there were many jars and jars in a mess.

"What is this for?"

I thought that as soon as I opened my mouth, the two girls would jump up, and I didn't want the two of them to move, but a fluffy and round head poked out from Huang Yueying's feet--just >

The servant blows the ± trance box i.?p >

The little guy kept licking his mouth with his tongue out, and when he saw Liu Xuan coming, he shrank his head again

"Huh?"

took a few steps forward, but before they got closer, they understood why Huang Yueying and Diao Chan never moved: these two girls didn't know how to get it, they smoked their faces black and white, and they were trying to cover their faces with shame at this time.

In addition, the tiger was at Huang Yueying's feet, holding a piece of meat in his front paws and gnawing on it.

As for the two women, there is a stove around it, with iron mesh on it, and several pieces of meat on it, which are making a zizi sound and at the same time emitting an enticing fragrance.

"What is this?"

In the end, Huang Yueying opened her mouth, anyway, she didn't care about that, her image was worse than now when she did the experiment, and it wasn't that she hadn't been looked down upon.

It was Diao Chan, who originally wanted to tidy up her appearance, but seeing Huang Yueying like this, she also let go, and hurriedly gave salutes to Liu Xuan and Cai Yan.

"Barbecue!"

Of course Liu Xuan knew that he was barbecuing, but should he make himself like this?

"Oh, do you want to bake it yourself, you know that it feels different when you bake it like this! I just forgot that there are no supporting tools, so I can only use these things to deal with!"

Huang Yueying wiped it casually, and there was another underworld on her cheeks.

Liu Xuan glanced at Diao Chan.

"Yueying said it would be fun, so I wanted to try it!"

"Okay, next time, I'll get the tools ready!" The appearance of the two girls at this time is indeed embarrassing enough, Huang Yueying is common, and it is really uncommon for Diao Chan to play like this.

Cai Yan also walked over, looked at the two daughters, and finally could only say: "Let's go wash first!" She didn't criticize anything, she has lived together for so many years, she has long been like a sister, and now she is like looking at a naughty sister. ..., if it was before, she might still be worried about the rules in the palace and the majesty of the heavenly family, but Cai Yan now knows that Liu Xuan doesn't care about these, especially when she only has her own family, so she won't worry too much about those rules and the like now.

Huang Yueying stuck out her tongue and took Diao Chan down to take a bath together, and when the two of them were gone, Liu Xuan noticed that the big pile at his feet hadn't been cleaned up.

As soon as I looked down, I saw that the tiger stretched out its claws and tried to pull the meat off the stove, but after stretching it once, it was scalded······ Stretched again, still burned······ Change your claws... ... Scalded again.

The little thing is already round and cute, and it looks even more interesting to look at it.

Even Cai Yan, who was still quite afraid of tigers, laughed: "Is this little tiger so interesting?"

Of course, the tiger is not so interesting, but it depends on who raised it - the one raised by Zhang Fei is still shaking like chaff when he sees people, and he is a timid mess, he doesn't look like a tiger, even if his physique has grown a lot after so long.

As for the one in front of him, I don't know what Huang Yueying poured into it after coming back, the size has not changed for so long, it is still the same size as a kitten, because it has always been so big, so Cai Yan, who was still very worried about raising this fierce animal in the palace, didn't say anything.

As he looked, he saw that the little guy seemed to be angry, and he stepped aside and picked up the stick, then returned to the stove and sat down, grabbed the stick with his front paws, and stabbed the pieces of meat off the road.

Cai Yan looked at these with a look of surprise: "Is the tiger so smart?"

Liu Xuan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak, but bent down and lifted the little thing up.

The little thing didn't seem to be scared at all, holding the meat slice calmly in its front paws while looking at itself with round eyes, as if to say, "What are you doing?"

"Hey, little thing!"

Liu Xuan scolded with a smile, and Cai Yan on the side also laughed, and then stretched out his hand and touched it gently.

"Meat whirring!"

Liu Xuan pursed his lips: "Eat so much meat, wouldn't it be a waste if a little meat doesn't grow?"

Putting the little thing down casually, I saw the little guy running away on his own.

looked at the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids, and didn't seem to mind this at all, so she asked curiously: "Where did it go?"

"Your Majesty, I guess you're either running around or going back to sleep directly! But when you rest at night, you will definitely be in the palace of your nobleman!"

The noble person is Diao Chan, because Liu Xuan only sealed this one nobleman, so the eunuch is not afraid that the Son of Heaven will not be able to figure it out.

Liu Xuan nodded, it seems that these eunuchs have helped to take care of this little guy these days, but it has only been more than half a year, and this little gadget has been spiritualized, which he really didn't expect at the beginning.

"If that's the case, it seems like the mount thing will come out sooner than I expected. ”

Huang Yueying was in charge of cultivating the mount, Liu Xuan didn't expect to make any progress in a short period of time, in his opinion, even if he had been busy for hundreds of years, it was not unusual.

After all, changing a species is not an easy task, and creating a new creature out of thin air is even more problematic.

In particular, these species must have quite high intelligence, otherwise they don't meet Liu Xuan's requirements at all - if they don't have high intelligence, then it is better to directly build some special flying machines for the generals to use!

Anyway, he had enough of this kind of thing in his head, and back then, there were many people in the Xiuzhen Empire but few divine beasts, so he relied on this method to solve a lot of trouble.

Those things,The image is different.,And it can be used as an auxiliary magic weapon.,The only drawback is that when fighting with people.,Will divide considerable power to urge this magic weapon to fight.,It's not enough to really use it in the fight.,It's just a simple means of transportation.。

But now······ Now that there is a relatively relaxed environment, and the demand is not so urgent, there is enough time to breed enough good mounts.

"By the way, Ma Chao's weapon seems to be called the dragon riding tip, maybe you can match him with a flying dragon? It can also be regarded as the first dragon knight of our Han······

After a pause, the name seemed inappropriate.

"Well, let's call it Dragon Knight......"

Flying dragons and dragons, this must be distinguished in the future, otherwise wouldn't his true dragon son be a generation shorter. And if you really come up with the title of Dragon Knight, it is estimated that no one in the entire Han will dare to use it, unless you are impatient.

After thinking about it, Diao Chan and Huang Yueying had also been cleaned and came out with a change of clothes, and as soon as Huang Yueying appeared, the first thing she said was: "Didn't you say that you were going to go out for a walk, when are you going to go out?"

Cai Yan didn't know about this, and was stunned for a while when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan patted her on the back: "Seeing that it is winter, although we are not afraid of the cold, but the road is not easy to walk in the snowy sky, let's wait for the beginning of spring!"

Huang Yueying was quite excited when she heard that the date had been set: "Where to go first?"

Liu Xuan thought about it and directly set a goal: "Go to Jiangdong first, then go to Jiaozhou, enter Nanzhong, then go north to Yizhou, and finally go back to Yongzhou and return to Luoyang!"
