Liu Xuan finished sorting out the thoughts in his mind, and at the same time collected all the dragon qi that was still scattered around him into his body, and barely condensed a trace of smoke around the dragon egg - the so-called warm dragon eggs rely on these dragon qi around the dragon eggs, if the dragon qi is thin, it will take longer to give birth to a young dragon, and it may even be impossible to get through this stage.

But if the dragon qi is strong, this stage will naturally pass faster, so it is not that Liu Xuan can only wait, he still needs to cultivate diligently to ensure that he can survive this embarrassing stage in the shortest possible time.

At this time, it was already morning, and the morning light came in through the window, shining on Liu Xuan, he only felt a little warm, but when Liu Xuan got up and opened the window, the cold wind like a knife still reminded him that he was on the verge of winter at this time.

Get up, wash and dress, all kinds of things don't need him to bother, the palace maids around him are very skilled in doing these things well, Liu Xuan just has to act as a large doll that can be manipulated by others, and when the palace maids are scattered to both sides, this bunch of trivial things are all over.

There is no major change in the style of the clothes on his body, the biggest change is the imperial crown on his head, a row of beaded curtains hanging in front of his forehead, although it does not block the view, it still makes Liu Xuan feel a little uncomfortable - such a thing on his head is strange.

However, this is a symbol of the emperor, even if Liu Xuan wants to make a change, this is not the right time - he has been on the throne for less than a day, he has no merits, and the ministers of the court and the central government are also in a wait-and-see situation, even if there are a few who are willing to assist him, it is based on the general righteousness of the 'Han family', not because he is really a virtuous emperor recognized by these people.

"However, before becoming a Ming Jun, you still need to develop your own power in a low-key manner!"

Dong Zhuo's problem is not difficult to solve, even if Liu Xuan does not have soldiers and horses in his hands, it is not difficult to deal with Dong Zhuo - even if Dong Zhuo is strong and strong, but the bigger his power, the better it will be for him to clean up.

The huge power means that there will be more and more factions under him, and when that time comes, as long as Dong Zhuo dies, the huge force under his command will immediately fall apart, as long as he tries to win over that group of people, he will not be obsessed with helping Dong Zhuo take revenge, and even a little benefit, this group of people can still be used by Liu Xuan.

And as an emperor, it is not difficult to kill Dong Zhuo. Even if Dong Zhuo is careful, he is guarded by soldiers when he enters and exits, but when discussing politics in the court, there can't be soldiers and horses to escort him, right?

Liu Xuan is confident that with his own strength, he can slash Dong Zhuo in front of the palace anytime and anywhere, even if he has Lu Bu to protect him - not to mention whether Lu Bu will protect Dong Zhuo at that time is two words.

Out of the dormitory, Cao Bao immediately approached: "Your Majesty, are you still discussing in Deyang Hall today?"

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an was the capital, and then moved to Luoyang (and because of the Five Elements Theory, Luoyang was changed to Luoyang), and at the beginning of the South Palace was the place to discuss politics, and Emperor Ling was greedy for pleasure, so he changed the place of discussion to the North Palace Deyang Palace, and at present, the ministers are also used to going to the Deyang Palace, and Liu Xuan is not interested in running from the north to the south every day, so he continued according to this habit.

"What's more, it won't take long for the Luoyang Palace!"

This year is the sixth year of Zhongping, and because the new monarch ascended the throne, he had to change the yuan.

After Liu Wei ascended the throne, he changed his ways, but in less than half a year, he changed it several times, just like a farce.

This time Liu Xuan ascended the throne, he didn't want his year name to change after he came to power - he even hoped that his years would last forever like the year of the Common Era.

However, he knew that this matter was in a hurry now, at least it was not his turn to change the yuan at the moment, and he was still walking to the side of Deyang Palace, and an old eunuch with a rickety body came up.

Someone on the left and right had already stepped forward to stop him, but Liu Xuan saw at a glance that the person was Zhang Rang, who was protected by himself, so he waved his hand to rebuke the left and right, and let Zhang Rang come closer.

To say that in this chaos, the ten permanent servants who controlled the Chaogang were killed completely, and Zhang Rang did not run away, but he was saved by Liu Xuan.

Later, a minister in the court proposed to arrest Zhang Rang and put him in prison, but was stopped by Liu Xuan. In addition, the means of the officials who killed the ten permanent servants at that time made the royal family evil, and Liu Xuan, as the king of Liang, promised to give the son of tomorrow, cut off the marquis of Zhang Rang, demoted him to the Zhonghuangmen, and no longer held power, so the officials pinched their noses and admitted it.

For Zhang Rang, although his glory was gone, he saved his life, which is more important than anything else. What's more, Liu Xuan did not send someone to collect the family wealth that Zhang Rang had accumulated over the years, so Zhang Rang was also very satisfied with this result, and only wanted to be a rich man in the future and enjoy his old age in peace.

At that time, Zhang Rang thought that he would leave Beijing with King Liang, but he didn't expect this thing to change so wonderfully, and within a month's effort, King Liang ascended the throne, and Zhang Rang actually rose up and returned to the center of power in the Han Dynasty.

Fortunately, he was sober-minded, knowing that he had a bad reputation, and the civil and military officials were eager to peel him and cramp, the only thing he could rely on at this time was Liu Xuan, so he tried his best to please Liu Xuan, and on the first day of his accession to the throne, Zhang Rang ran around before dawn, relying on his original connections and connections, he inquired about many things, and he came to report to Liu Xuan.

"The ministers will discuss, change the Yuan Yonghan!" In fact, Zhang Rang can only inquire about it, but he always has to show a gesture that he is still useful and can do things for the new emperor, otherwise he really has no place to stay. He didn't think that he could still live without Liu Xuan's surroundings, if he left the palace alone at this time, he was afraid that he would become a mess of meat before he even went out of the capital.

"Yonghan?" Liu Xuan shrugged his eyebrows: "It's average!"

Zhang Rang hehehe, he couldn't talk about this topic, the emperor felt average, but the ministers had agreed, and they couldn't change it again because of the new monarch's words, right?

"In addition, the princes feel that His Majesty is already in the crown, but the position of the queen of the main palace is vacant, so the matter of selecting concubines needs to be hurried!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Rang couldn't help but glance at Liu Xuan curiously, and said in his heart, isn't there anything unspeakable about this new monarch? If he speaks, who of these palace maids will not obey?

The palace maid is not stupid, in addition to having a stable job to earn a living, isn't it just to fly on the branch and become a phoenix one day? The emperor is an old man with high vision, and there is no shortage of stunning beauties around him, so the prince is the object that most palace maids look forward to.

Even if you can't ascend to the throne, you can have a throne in your body, but you can't become a princess, even if you are valued by the prince and included in the house, it is the expectation of many palace maids to have food and clothing for that life.

It's just that this eldest prince has always been clean and self-conscious, Mo said that he included a certain palace maid in the room, and he didn't even bother to look at it on weekdays, as if these girls didn't exist.

In this way, Mo said that ordinary people felt that he was abnormal, even those literati and Confucian scholars who claimed to be gentlemen were curious: "This thing can't really be sick, right?"

It's just that at that time, Liu Xuan was just a prince, and he was not taken seriously, and no one cared about how he loved it! But now it is different, Liu Xuan ascended the throne as the emperor, if it is said that the princess of a prince is not their turn to intervene, this queen's matter is related to the inheritance of the royal family, and even related to the change of power in the court, so they are not in a hurry, so as soon as Liu Xuan ascended the throne, everyone immediately realized the importance of this matter, and hurriedly discussed.

Zhang Rang didn't inquire about the specific conclusion of this, but as soon as Liu Xuan saw the ministers in the Deyang Palace, he didn't say a few words, and the ministers immediately turned the topic to the matter after the selection of the concubine.

"This matter is related to the inheritance of the royal bloodline, and Your Majesty must make a decision as soon as possible!"

These words seemed to be for the good of their Liu family, but the next sentence revealed his true intentions: "Zheng Shilang has a woman who is very virtuous, and he can enter the palace as a concubine......"

Liu Xuan sat on the throne with the same expression, and Zhang Rang next to him leaned in and said in a low voice: "Zheng Shilang is Zheng Tai, who was originally an assistant under the general's account, and this time it should be the plan of the former general's family, and he wants to recommend a woman as a concubine to stabilize his power." ”

nodded, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "This Zhang Rang is indeed not wrong, with this person by his side, the forces in this court are much clearer!"

Liu Xuan has always kept a low profile, and the consequence is that he is very unfamiliar with this court, and now he only knows that Dong Zhuo is a family of his own, and he has the heaviest authority.

There is also a group of old ministers who are loyal to the Han family, but there are also differences - Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others attach great importance to their own interests, and they will be loyal to the Son of Heaven only when their own interests are guaranteed, while Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are the kind of loyal ministers whose national interests are greater than everything else.

In addition, there are the remnants of the generals, as well as the faction that is not in line with the generals, the neutral faction that does not participate in the two ends, and the wall grass faction that falls on which side is strong.

Liu Xuan didn't know anything about these things, but Zhang Rang was a clear man, and with him waiting by his side, Liu Xuan could also find out the situation in the DPRK and China as soon as possible, and determine who could be wooed and who must be cleared out of the court.

"Have you heard of Jung Tae's daughter?"

Zhang Rang thought for a while, and immediately said: "He is known as a virtuous person, but he has never heard of any beautiful rumors!"

Liu Xuan nodded, didn't say anything, and the people who spoke below saw that the emperor didn't answer, and knew that the emperor was not interested in his proposal, but he still didn't give up: "This matter is related to the rise and fall of the Han family, the society and the country, and I hope Your Majesty will be cautious!"

"This group of guys now knows how to use Jiangshan Sheji to oppress people?"

After scolding a few words in his heart, Liu Xuan saw several people talking, all of them talking about the matter of choosing a concubine after the establishment, and the people recommended were also varied, but after careful analysis, it was immediately found that the women recommended by these people were all daughters of the same faction or good friends, even if this kind of woman was really sent to the palace, Liu Xuan would not be happy when he saw it.

After looking around, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "I heard that Cai Bo's family has a very virtuous woman, and she is quite famous, I have heard of it, and I can be the queen of the main palace." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the princes in the hall turned their heads in unison, and they all looked at Cai Yong, the scholar who had been silently installing sculptures there.
