Chapter 5: Heaven

Everything in front of them seemed so illusory, but Cao Cao and Zhang Liao couldn't help but make no sound, for fear of disturbing the emperor who was holding a long sword and concentrating on his skills.

And Cao Cao found that when the son of heaven performed his gong today, it was also different from the beginning, the Son of Heaven was holding a long sword, and although he did not see the golden clouds around his body, he vaguely saw a golden object about the thickness of a finger moving around on him, Cao Cao was very surprised in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

As a result, after taking a closer look, he found that the golden thing turned out to be a small golden dragon, and after moving for a while, he finally came to his long sword along the arm of the Son of Heaven, and circled upwards along the blade, and where the golden dragon circled, his Heavenly Sword seemed to have changed.

Cao Cao couldn't see it at this time, everything was just by feeling, and he didn't dare to disturb Liu Xuan at this time, so he could only stand there and wait quietly.

Fortunately, it didn't make him wait long, the golden dragon hovered to the tip of the sword, then stopped, and finally swooped down the blade back into the body of the Son of Heaven - this time there was no vision in sight, as if everything he had just seen was just an illusion.

That little golden dragon is naturally Liu Xuan's Son of Heaven Dragon Qi has finally reached the appearance of the young dragon stage, and the next thing he has to do is to nurture this little young dragon to maturity, so the first stage of the Son of Heaven Dragon Qi will be truly practiced.

When that time comes, he can use some immortal methods, although he may not be able to break out of the earth and travel into space, but at least there are no restrictions on this earth.

However, he made a rough estimate, if he wanted to cultivate the first golden dragon of the Son of Heaven's dragon qi to maturity, at least after restoring the entire Han Dynasty, he could only rely on the complete Han Dynasty - if he only relied on this corner of the northwest, God knows how long he would have to practice.

Therefore, he must train this group of subordinates well and help Cao Cao refine his sword, which is naturally the intention.

"This sword has been tempered, and it is no longer an ordinary mortal iron, but I haven't finished the last step of this tempering, it needs Meng De to do it himself. ”

Handing the Heavenly Sword to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was taken aback.

Holding a sword in front of the emperor is a great thing, and it is a status symbol -- the so-called sword in the temple, which is the case.

But what kind of person is Cao Cao? He was just surprised, and immediately stepped forward to take the Yitian Sword, holding the long sword with both hands, and suddenly felt the slightest coercion from the sword, this feeling was like when he faced the Son of Heaven.

Strange in his heart, he couldn't help but look up and happened to look at the Son of Heaven.

It turned out that when Liu Xuan was refining, he used his own dragon qi to refine this Heavenly Sword - so that this Heavenly Sword was naturally contaminated with some Heavenly Majesty.

Doing so, it was naturally the evil taste in his heart, and when he thought of the name of the Heavenly Sword, he was ready to distort the meaning of the name of the sword: Relying on the Heavenly Might!

"This sword has been tempered, with a heavenly majesty, Meng De will hold this sword to fight outside in the future, meet people from a higher level, if there are disobeying military orders or committing crimes of officials, Meng De can use this sword to cut it. ”

To put it bluntly, it is the legendary 'Shang Fang Sword', but Liu Xuan also told Cao Cao: "But this sword can't be easily taken out, and it will see blood as soon as it comes out...... Use with caution. ”

Although Cao Cao did not understand how the emperor could come up with such a thing, he finally understood what the emperor meant: Isn't this sword equivalent to a false festival? It was just given to himself in the form of a sword, and some restrictions were added.

Thinking that this is also in line with the style of the Son of Heaven, that is, to reduce and limit the power of some existing additions and existing officials in the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven giving himself this sword seems to be equivalent to not giving any civil and military officials a 'false festival'.

From this, it can also be seen that the emperor values him, but he always feels that it is more than that-Cao Cao also roughly knows that although the Son of Heaven is very important to him Cao Cao, he is not so important that he will send any good things to him as soon as possible.

In fact, Liu Xuan gave him the tempering of the Heavenly Sword, indeed considering that Cao Cao did not take advantage of the weapon - but there is no need to rush at this point, because Cao Cao is more of a commander, and now he has soldiers and generals under him, so there is no need to personally copy the weapon and go into battle to kill the enemy.

Therefore, even if Liu Xuan didn't solve the weapon problem for Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not feel that there was anything wrong - not to mention that although his Heavenly Sword was incomparably sharp, it was a rare divine weapon in the world, but in the current Cao Cao's hands, it was more of a symbol of status and status.

Liu Xuan also knew one thing, otherwise he would not have refined the Yitian sword, and also set this sword as a symbol of the Son of Heaven, which gave Cao Cao a lot of benefits, so that Cao Cao saw the official at a higher level, and had the right to kill the erring officials (less than 2,000 stones) without reporting, this power is in hand, Cao Cao has become the best person in the court even if his official position is not high now.

He tempered this sword for Cao Cao, and added so many benefits, in the final analysis, there was only one reason: to monitor Cao Cao nearby. Although Liu Xuan has the six seals in his hands to be able to canonize the officials, the officials after the canonization of the six seals will have a close connection with the dragon qi of the dynasty, and once they rebel, they will trigger the dragon qi to react, and at the same time, Liu Xuan, who cultivates the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven, will also know, but after all, it is too troublesome.

What's more, someone rebelled, and then the dragon reacted and then Liu Xuan learned that Liu Xuan would judge who was rebelling through this route, and there would be a lot of trouble and a waste of time during the period, and people like Cao Cao would not rebel, once they reversed, they would definitely not give Liu Xuan so much time to react.

Therefore, he simply made a small trick on Cao Cao's personal staffing, if Cao Cao really rebelled, then he could definitely know it as soon as possible.

And more importantly, Liu Xuan added so many 'additional attributes' to the Yitian Sword, which was also a restriction on Cao Cao, so that he couldn't help but pay attention to this sword, not only to keep it well, not to damage it, but also to carry it with him. Once he discarded this sword, Liu Xuan could also judge that Cao Cao had a disobedient heart, and he would be able to react as well.

As for what the Heavenly Sword can't be taken lightly, it is purely Liu Xuan's own bad taste when it comes out.

"I'd rather let me bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me!"

This famous sentence is really too impressive, although Cao Cao has not made any changes at present, Liu Xuan feels that it is better to be on guard. After all, Cao Cao is different from Lu Bu, Lu Bu's rebellion must be the kind that is rampant, and Liu Xuan is really not afraid. What I am afraid of is Cao Cao's far-sighted, planned and then moved.

In comparison, Liu Bei doesn't have to bother - if Liu Bei is against himself, he will be cut off from the world. He relies on the identity of the Han family, and helping the Han family is his slogan, but now that Liu Xuan is doing very well, if he does the opposite, won't it become a self-defeating mouth?

Of course, if Cao Cao really didn't have the heart to rebel, then these benefits would be real, and Liu Xuan would not treat Cao Cao badly, not only would the high-ranking officials not treat Cao Cao badly, but at the same time, immortality would not be inferior to Cao Cao's share - as for Cao Cao's personal hobbies...... This Liu Xuan can also be fulfilled according to the situation.

In short, it is a situation of "I will live up to me, and I will live up to me!"

Of course, Liu Xuan felt that his plans, even if Cao Cao didn't notice it at this time, after going back, Cao Cao would definitely react to the deep meaning, and with Cao Cao's wisdom, he could also figure out the key, and it could even be said that as soon as this Heavenly Sword was sent out, Cao Cao would have a rough choice.

Seeing Cao Cao respectfully put the Yitian Sword back into the sheath and then put it on his waist, Liu Xuan smiled and added: "In the future, Meng De will not have to remove this sword in the palace, Wen Yuan will explain this matter to the forbidden army stationed in the imperial city later." ”

"Wechen understands!"

Now with the gradual completion of the reorganization of the forbidden army, Liu Xuan has completely liberated the Tiger Army, and now those heavy armor guards in the Tiger Army are no longer guards, but have completely become heavy infantry.

Not only was the defense of Chang'an City handed over to the forbidden army, but even the defense of the imperial palace was taken over by the forbidden army -- the ministers of the court and the central government did not agree with this, believing that the composition of the forbidden army was complicated, and the princes of the court and the central government could not relax if they were stationed to defend the imperial city.

But Liu Xuan didn't care about that, and only said: "Is it nice to raise so many soldiers and horses?" plus Liu Xuan only let the forbidden army garrison the periphery of the imperial city, so the princes of the court and the central government thought about it and obeyed the emperor's wishes.

Now they have seen that the emperor wants to put all the military affairs in charge of the forbidden army, if this is the case, will the power of the forbidden army be too great?

Fortunately, Liu Xuan's various systems implemented within the forbidden army restricted the possibility that the forbidden army would be controlled by one person, and the emperor was in his prime, so it is estimated that he would not make the mistake of being old and confused, and stuffed all the power to one person, so there is no need to worry about the forbidden army for the time being.

It's just that the issue of the guards of the inner court is very troublesome, and now the guards of the inner court are basically the responsibility of the Yulin Army, but His Majesty will release the Yulin Army to fight in the Quartet sooner or later, so the safety of the inner court ......

They didn't know that Liu Xuan considered letting Cao Bao train some eunuchs to protect the inner court, and the number was not large, as long as he could patrol around.

In addition, Diao Chan also said in a joke whether to form some female soldiers? Liu Xuan felt that it was better not to let those ordinary soldiers in the inner courtyard of the palace, but he had also considered this issue.

In the end, it is to form another trustworthy guard force, the task of this force is to protect the inner courtyard of the palace and the emperor and empress, but if it is really to be formed, there will be no suitable person to lead it for a while, Zhang Liao is the right person, but it is too condescending to only be responsible for the guard, and he will reuse Zhang Liao in the future. So he can only put this matter aside and have a headache after a while.

Watching Cao Cao leave, Liu Xuan looked at Zhang Liao again, one of the five good generals of the future Wei State, although he was still young at this time, his calm bearing was already difficult to ignore. Liu Xuan looked at it for a while, and suddenly remembered that Zhang Liao was making a knife, and couldn't help but say: "Wen Yuan is good at using a knife, how about I help you refine a dragon slaying knife?"
