Chapter 33: Something Important?

When it comes to the issue of children, Liu Xuan is not as insistent as he was back then, in fact, he has carefully considered whether to give birth to a few.

I just thought about it and denied it.

The identity of the emperor is too special, and as the emperor's son, even if he doesn't want to fight for that position, he can't resist the pry of some well-intentioned people.

After coming and going, even if you don't have that mind for a long time, I'm afraid you will miss the throne.

And why do many people want Liu Xuan to give birth to a son as soon as possible?

Now that Liu Xuan has been on the throne for more than 30 years, a group of new courtiers will always feel that the Son of Heaven is a little alienated from him, and in this case, even if he has the ability, he will not be able to show it. After all, anyone is accustomed to using some familiar people, or they are particularly capable people.

But if they really want to be outstanding, they don't have to think about these things, so people who want to rely on the merits of the dragon to ascend to the throne may have the ability, but the ability is not outstanding, according to the formal promotion system, maybe they have to accumulate for decades before they have the opportunity to climb to the top of the rank, which is unbearable for some people.

Therefore, giving birth to a son is definitely to make trouble for yourself, and it will also make this group of people in the court think of crooked ways to a certain extent, and not work hard in the right direction.

What Liu Xuan is thinking about now is whether to simply give birth to a daughter and hold back the words of that group of people first - after all, if the first one is born, it is possible to give birth to the second, at least in a short period of time, they will not make a fuss about asking the Son of Heaven to succeed a child of the clan to become the prince.

"But if you give birth to a daughter, isn't that making trouble for yourself?"

He is now having a happy life with a few concubines, and he is not happy to suddenly have a little guy, so after thinking for a while, he still shook his head, and instructed Liu Bei: "In the future, if anyone comes to talk to the imperial uncle about this matter, write down all the names!"

As soon as Liu Bei heard it, he knew what the Son of Heaven had in mind, and he wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he finally kept silent - interfering in the family affairs of the Son of Heaven should not have been, Liu Bei dared to mention this matter thanks to the identity of the emperor's uncle, such as the meaning of today's son is already very clear, anyone who makes a fuss about this matter is not a good thing, write down the name first, and then slowly clean it up later!

After sending Liu Bei away, Liu Xuan sat in the imperial study by himself for a while, sipping steaming tea, and there were a lot of things in his head.

Huang Yueying's tinkering mount......

Do you want to have a baby?

When will the imperial court's fleet take shape?

When will the remaining princes of the Land of Dongying be completely wiped out?

To what extent has the sinicization of the Three Kingdoms of Northern Yan been carried out?

What I was thinking about in my head was basically that these things were internal problems in the Han Dynasty, and there was no need for him to bother, with the improvement of the functions and powers of various departments in the court, basically as long as there were no natural disasters ** or the like, there was no need for the Son of Heaven to deal with them.

The Sixth Department has almost solved most of the work, and a few things that are not easy to decide can also be consulted by the Three Princes, generally what can really be sent to Liu Xuan is a major event・・・・・・ but now that the world is too peaceful, where are so many major events happening? This natural disaster is already the biggest trouble, but it is also a matter of effort, and it cannot form a fundamental threat to the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Standing up and opening the window a little, a gust of cold wind mixed with a few fine snowflakes smashed on Liu Xuan's face, and the cold feeling made him feel a lot more energetic.

"It's snowing?"

If it doesn't snow in one winter, the damage may continue into next year, and even areas that haven't been affected will be affected by the weather.

Now that it is snowing, the worries will not happen - the dragon qi is strong, and the influence on the entire dynasty is here, the dragon qi is strong, even if it encounters a natural disaster, it will not suddenly appear so strong that it is difficult to deal with the natural disaster, and the kind of disaster that lasts for a long time will slowly get better, not worse. ...,

Many dynasties have caused a country to fall apart when a huge natural disaster suddenly broke out, or when the disaster continued and never improved, and the current Han did not have to worry about this under the protection of the dragon qi, this situation would not happen.

Even if there is a natural disaster, this year is already the worst!

Looking at it, Liu Xuan stepped out of the imperial study, and after a few words of instructions to a young eunuch beside him, he went straight to Tianji Pavilion, and not long after Liu Xuan arrived at Tianji Pavilion, there was an inquiry: "Your Majesty, Daoist Yu has arrived!"

"Let him in!"

Liu Xuan asked the eunuch to find Yu Ji just now, and now as Luoyang City is getting more and more perfect, Yu Ji and Shi Daoren also built a Taoist temple in Luoyang City, and asked Liu Xuan to name Wuzhuang Temple himself.

In the past two years, the name of Wuzhuang Guan is not small, although there is no development of believers and the like, but neither of them is a low-key character, plus there is propaganda in the palace, ordinary people also know that there are two real fairy characters living in the temple.

It's just that Wuzhuang Temple doesn't accept sesame oil money and other things, but it is only open during the New Year's festival to let the people carry out some worship and other things, so the gate of Wuzhuang Temple is closed at ordinary times, and it is impossible for ordinary people to see the two masters.

However, these are of no meaning to Liu Xuan, he can see it naturally if he wants to see it, neither Yu Ji nor Shi Daoren will dare to throw a face at today's son, not to mention that even if he doesn't consider his identity as the son of heaven, he can steadily suppress them by virtue of his identity in the cultivation world.

Yu Ji entered the Tianji Pavilion and immediately greeted Liu Xuan, this was not the first time he had come to the Tianji Pavilion, compared to the strangeness he saw when he first saw here, now he would no longer express any surprise.

It is said that when he came for the first time, he actually helped the Son of Heaven to identify the head of Zuo Ci and judge whether Zuo Ci was really dead, and the Son of Heaven came to ask Zuo Ci if he had any special life-saving methods!

That time Yu Ji Ke was really trembling, and thought that the Son of Heaven was warning himself not to play any thoughts, otherwise the end would be the same as that Zuo Ci, and later I realized that I thought badly, and the Son of Heaven was actually simply calling himself to help take a look, but he still secretly told himself: You must not go against the Son of Heaven in the future.

"I don't know why His Majesty summoned the juniors to come?"

Since he joined Liu Xuan's command, Yu Ji completely believed what Liu Xuan had said to him at the beginning, since this was the case, it was natural for Yu Ji to call him a senior. Even if Yu Ji has been practicing for a long time, he still can't compare with Liu Xuan.

Even if Liu Xuan has not practiced for a long time in this life, he has retained the predecessor master of the Yuan Shen after all, and at most he has changed his skin.

"Hmmm......"

Liu Xuan pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about how to speak?

"You can roughly tell me what happened after the Sun family moved overseas!"

Yu Ji fled overseas with the Sun family, and the general situation had already been explained to Liu Xuan at the beginning, but Liu Xuan didn't ask much about the details, only knowing that the Sun family's fleet had spent a lot of effort along the way, and the casualties were also very serious, and there were many people who contracted various strange diseases during the voyage and could not be treated, and finally died on the road.

In short, only half of the people who arrived at the destination in the end were only half of the people who set off, but fortunately, Yu Ji was by his side, which saved the core important people.

The inner circle, including Zhou Yu and many generals, was not damaged, but the elders of the Sun family couldn't stand this crime, and basically died at sea, including the famous 'Wu Guotai,'.

Compared with the original Wu State power, it was the big family who spoke, Sun Quan could only be a peacemaker, and now Sun Quan is the real power. At the same time, Sun Shangxiang is also because she is not restrained by her elders, so she is even more unscrupulous than the original, and she can make a move to secretly run to assassinate Liu Xuan. ...,

Otherwise, although Sun Shangxiang in the original history was also fierce and very fond of martial arts, and even had many well-trained female soldiers under his command, he would not have come to such an extent.

Although there are fewer talents in hand and not many soldiers and horses, I finally have a place where I can show my strengths, and I don't have to be shackled anymore.

"So after arriving in Australia, Sun Quan immediately built a town in the northwest of the entire big island, ready to develop slowly based on this, and by the time I left, basically the northwest of the entire big island was already in the hands of the Sun family!"

Australia is still a barren land at this time, equivalent to nothing, and there are many indigenous tribes, and it is not so easy for Sun Quan to develop.

But in the end, personal quality and civilization determine that the final victor cannot belong to the natives, and compared to the monolithic Sun family, which has completely no way out, the natives are simply a mess of sand, and their strength is not good, and it is not surprising that they are also broken by Sun Quan.

However, Sun Quan also knew that if he wanted to develop, he could not fight to the death, he not only captured many indigenous young people as laborers, but also attracted some surrounding indigenous tribes, although Sun Quan did not have any plans such as assimilation, but the actions he did were similar.

"In this case, the population growth rate under the Sun family should be faster than expected!"

Sun Quan does have some ability, especially compared to his brother Sun Ce, who knows how to be flexible in the governance of people's livelihood - if it is Sun Ce, I am afraid that he will not care about 3721 and kill all of them.

From this point of view, perhaps Sun Ce is more suitable to be thrown overseas to fight the world, after all, he is worse in governance, relying on a strong iron fist and high-pressure rule, and his open spirit is much higher than Sun Quan.

If Sun Quan will first develop enough troops and then slowly expand, then Sun Ce will completely take down the territory at the beginning, and then slowly consider the problem of governance.

The foundation of such a rule is very poor, and if Liu Xuan grasps the right time, he can directly take over this large area.

But Sun Quan's words are different, although his steady and steady path is progressing slowly, but the foundation is solid, maybe when Liu Xuan passes, Sun Quan will really run Australia into a country, then if you want to conquer it again, it will be a lot more troublesome -- fortunately, the main body of this group of people is still the people who separated from the Han Dynasty, and they still have a considerable sense of identity with the Han Dynasty, so as long as they understand that resistance is meaningless, they will not reject surrender.

There are not many real diehards after all, even if Sun Quan brought so many soldiers and horses to Australia, many of them were not intentionally brought in, but were coerced.

These people have left their homes and run to completely unfamiliar places, and if the development goes well, it's okay to say, if it doesn'・・・・・・ go well・・・・・・

After talking about the situation in Australia for a while, Yu Ji also smiled and talked about some things, such as the fact that winter and summer in Australia are completely reversed from the Han Dynasty, and it happens to be winter in May and June, and now this season happens to be the hottest time over there, which is also surprising for the people of the Han Dynasty.

However, because Australia is surrounded by the sea, even in winter, it is cold, and the climate is very comfortable, so as long as you get through the initial discomfort, everyone will be happy.

Immediately, Yu Ji taught a bunch of cultivation methods with all his heart, and everyone suddenly fell into a busy state: building a new home, defending against the attacks of the savages, and cultivating, so no one thought about going home or anything like that.

After talking a lot, Liu Xuan seemed to have specially called Yu Ji to chat, and it took a while before Liu Xuan asked Yu Ji to go back and Yu Ji never scratched his head. ...,

After watching Yu Ji leave, Liu Xuan contacted Xu Shu again.

This undercover agent sent to Zhang Lu's side back then has been in contact intermittently for so many years, but to say that Liu Xuan has not taken the initiative to contact him many times, today is the first time.

Looking at the image displayed on the communicator, Xu Shu's face became even thinner, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his head was wrapped in a headscarf, and his originally neat and clean beard was also condensed, and there were still many grains of sand hanging on it--it seemed that Xu Shu was living in a very bad environment.

"How's it going?"

Xu Shu should be in a very safe environment, at least he can report the situation to Liu Xuan without worrying about others disturbing him.

However, the specific situation is not so happy.

It turned out that after Zhang Lu was beaten and fled from the Han Dynasty, he was not ready to go to the West according to Xu Shu's words, but waited for an opportunity on the side of the Han Dynasty, and even got involved with some countries in the Western Regions.

But those countries are not stupid, they don't want to make this head, and even want Zhang Lu to be the first bird -- Zhang Lu really wanted to do that at the beginning, thinking that as long as he made some achievements, this group of greedy people from the Western Regions would definitely rush forward like a swarm and want to bite hard.

But what he didn't expect was that he himself was bitten hard by the people of the Western Regions first! If it weren't for his own cultivation being quite good, and some cronies who were desperately protecting him, I am afraid that Zhang Lu's forces would be completely destroyed in the hands of the countries of the Western Regions.

Xu Shu was the one who gained Zhang Lu's trust in that breakthrough, and then Zhang Lu decided to move west after thinking about the incident for a considerable period of time, to see if he could find any opportunities - the Han couldn't stay, and he couldn't stay in the Western Regions countries next to the Han Dynasty, especially after this incident, Zhang Lu hated these Western Regions countries to the bottom of his heart, and he made up his mind to come and kill all these guys after regaining his strength to vent the hatred in his heart.

But to the west, it's not that simple.

Anxi and Guishan are the two most powerful families between the Western Regions and the Mediterranean, and they have almost divided the best areas, and the people living in these lands have very obvious racial differences with the Han people, which makes Zhang Lu's development not smooth - originally Liu Xuan thought that the little old capital he had left could help him start a business smoothly, but this fool wasted this old capital almost enough, so he fell into an embarrassment.

"Where are you now?"

"It's time to rest in the realm of rest!"

Rest, the real name should be the Parthian Empire, and Rest is the name of the Han people. If Liu Xuan remembered correctly, Parthia was now in its weakest period, and would soon be destroyed by the emerging Persian Sassanid dynasty and become the new owner of that land.

Xu Shu was an excellent talent, and it was impossible for him not to notice this, even if he had not been in Parthia for a long time.

At the same time, this is also Zhang Lu's last chance, if he can't rebuild a team in a short period of time and become a force that can compete with the Persian Sassanid Empire, then there will be no place for him east of the Mediterranean.

"The minister understands what to do!"

Tell Xu Shu about the general situation, and Xu Shu immediately understood what the Son of Heaven meant.

"If Zhang Lu can't make it, come back!"

In the end, Liu Xuan felt that it was nothing if Zhang Lu couldn't succeed, but it would be too bad if he put such an excellent talent as Xu Shu in, so he instructed that if he couldn't do anything, he would give up Zhang Lu and return to the Han Dynasty directly, and then the imperial court would naturally arrange Xu Shu properly.

Hearing the Son of Heaven say this, although Xu Shu did not immediately cry gratefully and then say something to swear to serve the Son of Heaven, he would feel much more comfortable in his heart after all, at least he would have the energy to do things in the future.

After ending the communication with Xu Shu, Liu Xuan let out a sigh of relief.

After determining the current situation of the two families that were released, Liu Xuan also had a general direction in his heart.

"Zhang Lu doesn't have to worry about it now, it depends on how far he can do it next. The situation of the Sun family has stabilized, as long as they wait until the right time to pick the fruit......

"Huh, it seems that you forgot something?" When it came to the Sun family, Liu Xuan always felt that he had something to ignore, just now he called Yu Ji over to try to see if he could remember it through the conversation with Yu Ji, but there was no result, this thought of the Sun family, and that feeling came out again.

He frowned and thought about it for a while, until the dragon aura that occasionally flashed in the Heavenly Machine Pavilion reminded him.

"How did you forget this!"

Slapping his forehead vigorously, Liu Xuan wondered how he had always neglected such an important thing, but where was that thing now? Whether it was still in the hands of the Sun family, he didn't know now.
