Chapter 39: Cai Guiren

Looking at the food in front of him, Liu Xuan only took two bites slightly, and then looked at Cai Yan who was sitting on the oblique side.

Xu saw him stop moving, Cai Yan also stopped immediately, sat there and looked at him, there was no fear in his eyes, but he couldn't hide the loneliness after all.

Liu Xuan naturally knew what the reason was, but it didn't seem appropriate to talk about this topic at this time, but it was even more embarrassing to sit down, so he had to get up and find something to say casually.

"Why don't you eat?"

"The concubine wants to wait for His Majesty to come back and eat together. Cai Yan's answer seemed to reveal a little warmth, but the words were decent, thinking that it was caused by his childhood tutor.

Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world, and his children's tutoring is extremely strict, although Cai Yan is only sixteen years old, in the era that Liu Xuan is familiar with, he is still a child, but his gestures and words seem quite old and steady, if Liu Xuan wants to describe it, Cai Yan is quite in line with the legendary 'lady show' appearance.

But because of this, it is always difficult for Liu Xuan to communicate with Cai Yan as he wants, he didn't want to do this, after all, Cai Yan will be the master of his back house (no need to use a certain word, because this emperor's exclusive institution was dropped by an asterisk), he is busy outside in the dark, and he also hopes to return to his own world to live a little easier.

But Cai Yan is like this, there is a feeling that he can't start, plus he has a feeling that he can't get started with girls of this age, and as a result, the two have always been very embarrassed and confused since they got married.

Stuffed two more mouthfuls into his mouth, Liu Xuan didn't like the food at this time. The taste is single, the method is relatively simple, most of them are cooked in the ding, and after eating a lot of meals in the future and the strange dishes made of rare spirit fruits and beasts bred by fairy energy, I naturally have little interest in these light and tasteless things.

In addition, now that he has entered the dragon egg period, the demand for food is even lower - it's nothing if he doesn't eat, and now Liu Xuan can already do it.

Only Cao Bao, who is closest to him, knows about these things, and of course Cai Yan doesn't know.

As for waiting for Liu Xuan to come back today, he also felt that the emperor's attitude towards him was lukewarm, and more importantly, after he entered the palace, the emperor had never done anything to him once after those things taught by the older female officials, and she had already made up for a large set of corresponding knowledge, of course she understood what it meant.

"Could it be that the emperor doesn't like himself, and he entered the palace just to stabilize the situation in the court?"

Cai Yan is not a stupid woman, and even to some extent, she is one of the smartest women in this era, and she has inferred a rough idea of what happened in the court even from her father's words.

Dong Zhuo is autocratic, the old ministers of the former dynasty have the heart to confront Dong Zhuo, but they are powerless, most of the soldiers and horses in the Beijing division are in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and his father seems to have become a buffer between the two.

"Maybe the emperor chose himself because he valued this. ”

These days, Liu Xuan has come back to rest more and more late, if she didn't know that Liu Xuan only accepted one woman as her concubine, I'm afraid she would have thought that Liu Xuan had other women she liked better.

"In the future, you don't need to be so polite when there are no outsiders. ”

Liu Xuan's sudden opening startled Cai Yan, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized what Liu Xuan meant by his words.

"This ......"

She has received a strict family education since she was a child, and etiquette is almost engraved in her bones, but now Liu Xuan wants her to be less polite, but she doesn't know how to answer.

Cai Yan naturally didn't know, Liu Xuan had a lot of etiquette outside, what was the etiquette when he saw an ordinary minister, what was the etiquette when he saw a prince, what was the etiquette when he saw a prince, what was the etiquette of the third duke, the etiquette of each level was different, the hierarchy of the Han Dynasty was far more serious than imagined, although the emperor was at the highest end, but the corresponding etiquette needed to know was also the most - although there were courtesy officials who were on the side, but they couldn't ask every time, right?

After such a whole day, what Liu Xuan missed most was that kind of free life, but unfortunately when he returned to his dormitory, he was faced with a woman like Cai Yan, who looked so polite, and seemed to have an extra layer of rustiness in a trance.

He doesn't like this, this time there is such a suitable opportunity, if he says it directly, if Cai Yan can let go a little, he will live a more comfortable life in the future.

At the beginning, he knew that he would inevitably have to accept a concubine when he ascended the throne as the emperor, and he chose Cai Yan because of her fame, and because he knew Cai Yan's background, he knew that he was the best candidate for the queen - the queen's mother is the world, so naturally she has to have a style, so it's not good to find someone to do it, right?

Maybe Liu Xuan thought a little too much, because there was not so much to say about this year's festival, so the Empress Dowager He was originally just the daughter of a butcher, didn't she also become a queen? Did the minister say anything? So the officials of the Han Dynasty actually did not interfere too much in the private life of the royal family, even if they were as mediocre as Emperor Ling, they criticized most of the things such as selling officials and selling titles, appointing eunuchs to persecute Zhongliang, etc., but they didn't care much about Emperor Ling's private life.

Even if Emperor Ling built a swimming pool in the West Garden, selected beautiful women from the age of fourteen to eighteen, and only approved the tulle to play and have fun, there was no minister to say anything about this matter. It can be seen that the private affairs of the royal family of the Han Dynasty are not the turn of the ministers to talk nonsense.

There are more examples, such as Qin Shi Huang once built a wine pond, but he didn't really use it himself, but it was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a generation of Ming monarchs, who repaired it and often had fun in it.

There are many similar examples, and Liu Xuan only learned about these after this period, so he personally named Cai Yan when choosing a concubine. But in retrospect, it didn't seem like a good choice.

"Concubine ......" Cai Yan realized that something was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth, and paused: "I ......" It's a pity that I tried it, but I always felt awkward, and my little face was almost tangled into a ball, and Liu Xuan felt very funny when I saw it.

Realizing that Cai Yan's character is like this, it is probably more uncomfortable to let her go than killing her, so he waved his hand: "When I didn't say it." ”

After saying a word, he found that Cai Yan was silent there, but he didn't know that his words were too lethal to Cai Yan, so he made the emperor even more displeased, and he became more and more worried about his future in the palace.

Liu Xuan didn't know how to comfort him, but when he saw that the atmosphere not only did not improve, but developed into a worse situation, he finally had to resort to a killing move and get down to business.

"In the past few days, I have been packing up in the palace and bringing some important things close to me. ”

When Cai Yan heard Liu Xuan's words, he put aside the worry in his head for the time being, and looked up at Liu Xuan with a strange expression, not understanding the purpose of this advice.

"After a while, I'm going to leave this Luoyang!"

"Leave?" Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed greatly, she had a vague premonition before, and only then did she react: "Could it be ......"

"It's not that bad!" Seeing Cai Yan's face, Liu Xuan knew that this woman had guessed something, but she thought in a bad direction. But even so, it can be seen that Cai Yan's intelligence is indeed extraordinary, and he may be even better than many men.

After a pause, he sorted out his thoughts: "Dong Zhuo controls the government, but now in the war with the Kwantung princes, it is an opportunity for me to leave Luoyang, so as to get rid of Dong Zhuo's control in one fell swoop." ”

These words were naturally used to say to others, for Liu Xuan, Dong Zhuo was not a problem at all, even if he was in front of him now, he could directly slaughter him. It's just that the trouble is in the back, so in order to make it a little easier in the future, let's do more things now.

Hearing Liu Xuan's explanation, Cai Yan also understood the key.

Liu Xuan is the emperor, naturally unwilling to be at the mercy of Dong Zhuo all the time, it is normal for the Son of Heaven to want to seize power, not to mention Dong Zhuo's dominance, there are many dissatisfaction in the court, at this time, the heaven-given opportunity, naturally we must grasp it.

Cai Yan didn't ask if it was likely to be successful, but directly asked what things he wanted to sort out? This made Liu Xuan quite sideways.

"I won't mention the others, just bring some important things with you. ”

As the Son of Heaven, even if he didn't bring anything, he didn't lack anything when Chang'an stabilized. The most important thing is the six seals that the Son of Heaven handles government affairs.

The six seals are not the jade seals of the country, the jade seals of the country are just a symbol of food, and they are not used when the edict is really issued, but the six seals.

These six seals are the Emperor's Seal, the Emperor's Seal, the Emperor's Letter Seal, the Son of Heaven's Seal, the Son of Heaven's Seal, and the Son of Heaven's Letter Seal. The functions of these six seals are different, and there are special officials to manage them, but since Liu Xuan ascended the throne, he has carried these six seals with him.

In addition to having more trust in himself, it is that these six seals have been handed down for a long time, and they are used by the emperor, and there is more or less some dragon qi attached to them, and Liu Xuan carries them with him, just to absorb the dragon qi possessed above.

This discovery also made Liu Xuan care about the heirloom jade seal, after all, the heirloom jade seal is a symbol of inheritance, symbolizing the orthodoxy of the world, and the dragon qi attached to it may be more impressive, I can't find it now, but sooner or later it will return to my own hands, and I don't know how much it will improve my cultivation at that time?

At the same time, Liu Xuan also found that these six seals are excellent magic weapon materials, and the material itself is not bad, and it has been tempered by the dragon qi of the two dynasties, if the refining is successful, it may be a surprise.

After explaining to Cai Yan, the time has already passed, if you don't rest, I'm afraid you don't have to sleep, just prepare for the morning court.

Liu Xuan looked at Cai Yan, who had already looked tired: "Rest, it's not good to rest these days, it's not good to run out of strength when the time comes." ”

Cai Yan nodded, she also knew that this matter was even related to the question of who would be in charge of the world in the future, plus she was still young, it was impossible to say that she was not panicked, but seeing Liu Xuan's calm expression that was close at hand, she gradually calmed down.

"Is he so calm that he thinks this matter will be successful, and there is nothing to worry about?"
