brought Cai Zhi and raccoon cicada, and at the same time brought King Chen Liu, King Hongnong and Princess Tang Ji of Hongnong, to Liu Xuan's surprise, there was actually that Shi Daoren with him.

Shi Daoren was originally the Empress Dowager He who was worried about Liu Biantian, so she invited the Taoist priest of Youfang to raise her son, and later because he took care of Liu Bian, he settled down in Beijing after having such a responsible relationship".

At that time, when Liu Xuan fled from Tanyang with civil and military officials, Shi Daoren was not listed, but for the sake of his second brother Liu Bian's face, Liu Xuan still sent him a letter, and he only said that if he wanted to find Liu Bian in the future, he could go to Chang'an.

Later, Duanyang was occupied by Dong Zhuo's generals, and a good Banyang City was a mess, and Shi Daoren was not spared, if it weren't for some means, he might have died in that chaos.

After escaping from Luoyang, Shi Daoren did not come to Chang'an directly, but walked around, looked at the situation in the world, and finally took a closer look at Chang'an, and then had a plan in his heart, to find Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, and now he lives in the palace of Hongnong Wang, Liu Bian is also quite respectful to him, and he should serve and support his own parents.

Liu Xuan also heard a little about this, but he didn't want to interfere too much in his brother's life, and Shi Daoren did have the grace to nurture Liu Bian, and it was legitimate to be served by Liu Bian, so he didn't care too much about it.

I didn't expect that on this trip, Shi Daoren also came with him.

In addition to these few people, the commander of the army was Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, the barnyard generals who were specially transferred to the imperial court from Jingzhou. At this time, Huang Zhong was still in the prime of life, although his hair was a little gray early because of the hard work for his son in his early years, but his spirit was still very good.

It may also be because his son has been dead for a long time, and he has gradually opened his eyes, so Huang Zhong did not look as depressed as Liu Xuan thought - think about it, Liu Biao can show Huang Zhong as a general, it can be seen that Huang Zhong is willing to come out to be an official, but what makes Liu Xuan regret is that Huang Zhong's son has died a long time ago, but there is one less opportunity to win people's hearts.

As for Huang Zhong, he was still very surprised by the imperial court's conquest at the beginning, he never thought that he would be requisitioned by the imperial court.

However, he himself is very happy about this kind of thing, in the final analysis, because in the early years, in order to treat his son, he went around and spent all his family savings.

Now that his son has passed away, and he still has his wife to live, he began to come out to find things to do. At first, he was doing some things in the county, but later after Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, probably because he was a member of the Huang family, he wanted to make friends with himself and gave him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

At that time, he only felt that if this matter was successful, his family's living situation could be greatly improved, although he was a member of the Huang family, he was not a descendant, but only a side branch, and the Huang family was a big clan in Jingzhou, and it was impossible for everyone to take care of it, basically living their own lives. Therefore, Huang Zhong did not consider asking for help from people of the same clan, but wanted to change the status quo with his own ability.

What's more, Huang Zhong is also arrogant, and he is not incapable of naturally disdainful of accepting other people's charity, but he didn't expect Liu Biao's entrapment to cause such a change.

However, considering that he has nothing to be nostalgic for in Jingzhou, and it is easy to think of his deceased son, he simply brought his wife to Chang'an, and during this time, he was quite comfortable.

Especially Chang'an has abundant grain and rice, and the imperial court has never treated him badly, the money is distributed on time, and any difficulties are solved for him as soon as possible, and Huang Zhong gradually adapted to life in Chang'an under all kinds of care. But such a good treatment also made him feel ashamed that he didn't want to make some achievements, so he wanted to show it.

It's a pity that when the Son of Heaven came to conquer Li Xuan and Guo Ji Huang Zhong was a step slower and failed to catch up with this battle, for this reason he felt that he missed a great opportunity for meritorious service, and never thought that it would not be long before His Majesty actually appointed himself to accompany him on the side, guarding the left and right, this errand is a big difference, Huang Zhong settled his home properly, and made preparations early, but it was not until today that he saw His Majesty the current emperor.

"You're so young!"

This is how Huang Zhong felt when he saw Liu Xuan for the first time, and the second feeling was: "Your Majesty is tall and strong, his steps are calm and powerful, and he looks good at martial arts." ”

He didn't know anything about Liu Xuan, he could only observe it little by little. Fortunately, he was dressed in armor at this time, carrying a bow and arrows at his waist, and he didn't need to make a big salute, just a military salute, so he could keep looking. As he looked at it, he pondered some hearsay rumors about the emperor.

Some said that the emperor was cruel, because he didn't like the words of a certain official in the court, so he was directly killed. And he also came up with some method to punish the nine clans, and some people said that it was more brutal than the tyrants of the pre-Qin Dynasty.

Some people also said that the emperor was promiscuous, and he actually saw a beautiful woman in Situ's mansion, and forced him to go directly from Wang Situ.

At that time, Huang Zhong, who had just arrived in Chang'an, was still sad, suspecting that it was a mistake for him to accept the expedition and come to Chang'an.

But then he heard some good words, such as that under the current governance of His Majesty, the life of Chang'an and the surrounding people is getting better and better, at least in the past two years, the people of this generation have never worried about the problem of eating.

Originally, these words were not conspicuous, after all, the people like to talk about those miscellaneous things when they are full, and such things are the easiest to ignore.

But what kind of person is Huang Zhong? I realized the key at once, and understood that those comments may have a lot of biases, and I can't do it really, but it is really good that it can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the longer Huang Zhong lives, the more he feels that today is not so unbearable, and if he is compared with the two emperors of Huan and Ling, he can even be said to be a rare virtuous king.

Especially what kind of absurd words made him smile wryly - when there is only one queen today, there is not even a nobleman in addition, don't say that if you want a woman from Situ's mansion to enter the palace, even if you want ten more, it is not too much.

The only thing that is certain is that the emperor's temper doesn't seem to be very good, after all, the method of punishing the nine clans is indeed from the hands of today's son.

But seeing him today, Huang Zhong felt that this son of heaven didn't seem to be a bad talker. At least when I came out of the palace and talked to myself so far, I always had a little smile, and there was no sense of aggressive oppression when I spoke, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

Raising his eyes and looking again, at this time, the emperor was in front, and the two horses that were a little behind beside him were sitting on King Hongnong and King Chen Liu, and the brothers were talking about trivial things while looking left and right Huang Zhong looked at it for a while, and then rode his horse backwards to check the situation of the rear army's supplies.

Liu Xuan was talking to Liu Xie at this time, Xu had never been out of the house, these two younger brothers seemed very excited, since they left the imperial city, their heads kept spinning around, even if there was no beautiful scenery around, they were still looking at it.

Behind the brothers are a few big cars, the back of each has its own usefulness, the first one is Cai Tan rides, at this time raccoon cicada and Tang Ji are in the car to talk to Cai Tan, although the car is tightly covered, but vaguely can still hear some sound coming from inside, it seems that these little girls are also very excited.

When they arrived at the city gate, there were people waiting, and one person was dressed in court clothes, and he saw the team coming from afar at the city gate. Liu Xuan didn't recognize it after looking at it, but Cao Bao next to him leaned forward and whispered: "That's Sima Lang, the eldest son of Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang, who is currently working under his father's account, it is said that Sima Fang has been in poor health in recent days, and it is estimated that he came here instead of his father." ”

Liu Bai nodded, and when he was about to reach the city gate, he turned over and dismounted, and was greeted by everyone.

In the crowd, Liu Xuan kept looking at Sima Lang, and saw that this person was about thirty years old, tall, and looked quite strong, if he changed to armor, it would also be the demeanor of a general. Shicai heard Cao Bao say that Sima Fang's son was quite talented when he was young, so it seems that he is indeed extraordinary.

But that's it, after Liu Xuan took a look, he set his eyes on a teenager standing in the crowd.

This young man is not low in height, at least standing in the crowd, only from the body shape, there is absolutely no difference from the people next to him. But Liu Xuan's eyes were sharp, even in the crowd, he also noticed this young man, because when everyone was visiting, only this young man secretly looked at him for a while.

"Oh, who is this boy?"

Sima Lang originally came to see the Son of Heaven out of the city instead of his father, that is, to see here at the city gate, but there was nothing. But I didn't want the Son of Heaven to ask what kind of teenager, and my heart suddenly became excited, and when I looked back, I found that my second brother was mixed in the crowd.

"This is the second brother of Weichen, who is young and unsophisticated, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive him. ”

He didn't see what was going on just now, but he was quick thinking, and since the emperor was able to notice his younger brother in the crowd, there must be something that he didn't do well. The Han Dynasty had strict rules on the number of etiquette, and there were many things to pay attention to when seeing who gave what etiquette, and his younger brother was noticed by the emperor, and eighty percent of the etiquette was not done well. This is a serious problem that is enough to be reprimanded in the eyes of acquaintances, and it is even more troublesome when it is placed on the Son of Heaven.

Liu Xuan also knew what he was worried about, and waved his hand casually: "I'm just curious, why is there such a young official in Jingzhaoyin's mansion, it turns out that he is the son of Jiangong." ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something in his heart, beckoned to the young man, and saw that the young man stepped forward without fear, without the slightest timidity and panic of the young man, and his heart became more and more sure of the guess: "This young man is not bad, what is his name?"

Sima Lang saw Liu Xuan looking at him, and knew that he was asking himself: "This is Sima Yi, the second brother of Weichen!"

Liu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said secretly: "Sure enough, it's him!"

For a moment in his heart, he suddenly made a decision: "Brother Ling's age is not much different from that of King Chen Liu, but you can be a companion, why don't you let Brother Ling travel with me, can you have any objections?"

Sima Lang was stunned, although he didn't understand how it could have developed like this, but if the Son of Heaven let him speak, what objection could he have? He had to say respectfully: "Being able to serve His Majesty is the blessing of the second brother of the minister, and Weichen has no objection!"
