Chapter 41: Fame is nothing
In the following days, things were going well, Liu Xuan and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty with the help of Lu Bu's power, smoothly opened the gate of Tongguan, and then at the same time as the door was opened, the general guarding the pass was stabbed to death by Lu Bu's halberd, and the rest of the soldiers were frightened at that time, giving Lu Bu enough time, so that the tiger army under his account controlled the entire Tongguan in the shortest possible time.
Tong Guan is in hand, Liu Xuan and the others are much calmer, although the next time is not so much that they can be squandered at will, but there is no threat of being stabbed from behind at any time, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can also breathe a sigh of relief, and after arriving in Chang'an, they used the same trick to open the city gate and enter the city.
It's just a little troublesome this time, Chang'an is also an important town after all, and it is the original capital of the Han Dynasty, and the huge city also means that there are a lot of soldiers and horses stationed.
Lu Bu wanted to draw the gourd again, but opened the city gate and slaughtered the guards directly, and when the time came, the dragons in the city were leaderless, and Lu Bu could take the opportunity to gather some more soldiers.
It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't let him succeed this time, just told him not to be reckless, and then placed a large group of people in Chang'an, and after occupying one place in Chang'an, he broke out.
That night, the people in the entire Chang'an City closed the door, and they didn't even dare to open a little gap to take a sneak peek, and the shouts of killing rang out all night, and naturally no one could rest well under such circumstances.
Even Liu Xuan sat all night that night, but looking at Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Yuan Kui and others beside him, Liu Xuan felt that he was much calmer than them.
Look at the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, but anyone who has a little martial arts is wearing armor and swords, even if it is Wang Yun, Yuan Kui, Cai Yong and other scribes and Confucians, although they do not wear armor, but they also hang long swords on their waists, it is estimated that when the situation is not right, these people will also pick up the guys and rush up to fight with people.
It's a pity that Cao Cao and Lu Bu didn't give this group of people any chance to perform, and the long knife in Liu Xuan's hand was only placed on the side all night, and he didn't even have a chance to get out of the sheath, because as soon as the morning dawned, Lu Bu took the lead and only said: "The city is peaceful, and Zhang Xiu, the general who was originally stationed in Chang'an, escaped from Chang'an in the melee, and now he is missing." ”
"Zhang Xiu?"
Liu Xuan really didn't expect that the guard general of Chang'an was actually Zhang Xiu, he only knew that the person in charge of affairs here in Chang'an was a little-known figure - at least Liu Xuan had never heard of that person's name, and it turned out that the soldiers and horses in the city were under the command of Zhang Xiu.
This person is also a talent, and he couldn't recruit him and he couldn't get rid of it today, and I don't know if it will bring me some trouble in the future?
Liu Xuan thought about it and put the matter aside, and then let the princes of the Manchu Dynasty disperse, and at the same time let people arrange for themselves to enter the Chang'an Palace and other things.
He doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters, but many palaces in Chang'an are in disrepair, not only slightly dilapidated, but also accumulated a lot of dust, which needs to be cleaned well before he can become the owner.
By the time everything was done, it had been a few more days, and the government affairs of the entire imperial court had been piled up these days, but Liu Xuan ignored them all, and he was just concentrating on cultivation in the past few days.
It is not strange that there is a remnant of dragon qi in this ancient Chang'an, it is strange that unlike the decaying dragon qi in Luoyang, the dragon qi in Chang'an shows a nascent appearance, Liu Xuan vaguely feels that it is the dragon qi of the founding period of the Han Dynasty, I don't want to have any remnants now?
"It stands to reason that this dragon qi should have been dispersed a long time ago, after all, it has been two hundred years since the Han Dynasty set the capital of Luoyang, and no matter how much dragon qi there is, it should be gone...... Could it be that there is a founding treasure here?"
With a guess in his heart, he couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to find out, so Liu Xuan spent his spare time in the past few days wandering around the palaces in Chang'an, wanting to see where the nascent founding dragon qi came from.
At the same time, he was also secretly glad in his heart: "If he hadn't ascended the throne as the emperor, he wouldn't have been able to detect this dragon qi even when he arrived in Chang'an." ”
Because although this dragon qi shows the appearance of the newborn, a feeling of vitality, but it is not strong, and even very weak, if Liu Xuan did not become the emperor, the dragon qi of the entire world and dynasty would be involved with him, and he would definitely not find the existence of this dragon qi.
His chaotic rotation of palaces all over Chang'an made the princes of the Manchu Dynasty have a headache for a while, only to reveal his true nature when the Son of Heaven got out of Dong Zhuo's control.
It is not difficult to understand the young man's temperament and being active, but there is a lot of backlog in this major event, and this group of old ministers is still waiting to report to the emperor but can't find anyone, and there are even some people with different intentions who see the Son of Heaven like this, and some old ministers make their own decisions.
Of course, they didn't know that Liu Xuan was busy looking for dragon qi, but Tianzi didn't have the heart to handle government affairs with peace of mind, and with the help of others, his ambition gradually swelled.
But everyone doesn't know that although Liu Xuan runs around all day long, he will definitely call Xun Yu to ask questions every night, and even if some psychological changes in the princes of the court and the central government cannot be fully grasped, they can also guess the best of ten.
As for Xun Yu, how did he know?
The Manchu Dynasty princes naturally can't avoid Cao Cao and Lu Bu, these two people are now the real power, the two most reliable soldiers and horses in Chang'an City are in the hands of these two people, although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun received the emperor's personal edict to reorganize the five schools of the Northern Army in Chang'an, but for now, the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Army are the most trustworthy troops.
Therefore, many ministers did not dare to look down on the two, not to mention that Lu Bu had a marquis, and his status was not worse than them, although Cao Cao did not get the title, but everyone understood that it was just a matter of time or time, as long as these trivial things were finished at the moment, the title was a sure thing.
Cao Cao knew, Xun Yu knew, so Liu Xuan still didn't know? So the discussion of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty must not be hidden from Liu Xuan's ears, and a few of them are treacherous and cunning guys, so people such as Taiwei Yang Biao and Taifu Yuan Kui basically don't express their position, but Wang Yun, without Dong Zhuo's suppression, seems to have the intention of eagerly trying.
"Your Majesty has been neglecting political affairs these days, and I am afraid that it will be true. ”
Xun Yu didn't know what Liu Xuan had been doing these days, no matter how much the emperor asked him about the dynamics of the princes in the court every day, he only thought that the emperor wanted to test the loyalty of his ministers, if this was the case, I am afraid that there would be a lot of tossing in the future.
The facts are similar, Liu Xuan estimated that the time was almost up this day, so he called Xun Yu to discuss the matter.
"The root of the dragon qi can be ignored for the time being, and it won't be able to run away if it is left there anyway, just find it slowly! ”
After thinking about it in his heart, he asked Xun Yu: "I want to change the official system of the DPRK and China again, what does Wen Ruo think?"
Xun Yu didn't expect Liu Xuan to make such a big move? The reform of the official system is not something that can be changed, and the relationship matters reach all aspects, and almost no dynasty will do this kind of thing, most of them formulated the next set of systems when the dynasty was founded, and even if it is changed in the future, it will only make small changes on the basis of this system.
But looking at the meaning of this emperor, it is obviously not a small fight.
"How does Your Majesty want to change?"
Liu Xuan had this idea for a long time, but it was really because the system of the Han Dynasty was too chaotic, and many functions and powers were duplicated, and when Emperor Han Ling tossed it down, it would be even more chaotic. What made Liu Xuan even more troubled was that many official titles in the Han Dynasty were not related to their actual positions, which made him think a lot.
Although he was not capable of formulating a better system, it was possible to use some of the better things in history.
For example, the legendary six-part system.
Forget about the three provinces or something, the six-ministry system is a system that is very in line with the current situation, and more importantly, the current three-public and nine-secretary system is actually the predecessor of the six-ministry system, and many of its functions and powers are only slightly changed, so the backlash caused by such a reform will not be too large.
Of course, if it weren't for the protests of the ministers, it is estimated that Liu Xuan would have directly moved out the various modern systems, which would have made the division of power more detailed, and at the same time, the power would be more dispersed, which would be more beneficial to his rule.
"However, you can't rush everything, the six-part system is enough at the moment, and it is relatively easy to accept. ”
Roughly talking about the six-part system and Xun Yu, Xun Yu immediately understood what the emperor meant.
The six-ministry system may not be much more advanced and perfect than the system of the three princes and nine secretaries, but it has clear powers and is easy to understand, and its rights are relatively easier to concentrate in the hands of the emperor, which is easier to control than the current nine secretaries who have a complete set of government teams.
This is extremely beneficial to the emperor's rule, Xun Yu naturally agreed, but said: "At the moment, everything is to be decided, and it seems that it is not suitable to make such a big move." ”
Liu Xuan had a different opinion: "At present, the princes of the court have entered Chang'an with me, and the court is in chaos. ”
What he meant was to take advantage of the chaos to directly build a team that could be used by him, put things on track in the shortest possible time, and then slowly clean up those disobedient guys.
And Xun Yu means to clean up those who have ambitions first, and then wait for only loyal people to be left in the court before implementing the new policy. In this way, naturally no one will oppose it, and more importantly, the new policy can only be implemented without covert resistance, otherwise it will be a violation of the yang and the yin, and it will not take long to completely destroy the originally good decree.
Of course, Liu Xuan understood Xun Yu's worries, but he had his own thoughts.
"But those who disobey the order will be exterminated!"
At this time, the military horses are all in his hands, and if he doesn't take advantage of this time to do thunderous things, will he wait for the ministers to have the strength to fight back before he does it? Anyway, he knows enough talents, and he is not afraid that no one will be available. And there is no need to kill them all, only kill a few people, and the rest of the people naturally dare not make any more moves.
As for reputation, Liu Xuan has understood since he was betrayed that everything in this world is false, and only if you win, you can have everything.
P.S: There was a missing part at the beginning of the previous chapter, which has been changed, and if there is something wrong with reading, it is that the system has not been refreshed, just wait a while.
