Chapter 18: No Queen is nothing
Jian'an for three years, spring.
Since Liu Xuan announced a while ago that he would inspect the counties in the northwest, all the departments of the imperial court have been preparing for this matter.
The Son of Heaven is a major event, if in the year of peace, the preparations alone will have to be done for a year, not to mention the current chaos, the emperor's safety is more worthy of concern, when I heard that the Son of Heaven only let the barnyard general Huang Zhong lead 500 people to accompany him, most of them did not agree.
From their point of view, at least having Lu Bu accompany the Tiger Ben Army was enough to reassure them.
But a few people in the court who knew Liu Xuan's strength did not say a word about it. For example, Cao Cao, Lu Bu or Xun Yu, they knew how powerful the Son of Heaven was, and even felt that even if the Son of Heaven ran around alone, it was estimated that no one would be able to hurt him.
It's just that the Son of Heaven is very different, and bringing his attendants is not to protect the emperor, but actually to show the emperor's status.
Five hundred people, it is enough to put on a showmanship, so these people didn't make any suggestions, but the leading general actually chose that Huang Zhong, which made everyone a little surprised.
Cao Cao remembered that the Son of Heaven seemed to have his own ideas about employing people, not that he would use what people were recommended by his subordinates, and sometimes he appointed some unknown people, but those who were a little famous did not take it to heart, and he didn't know what criteria the Son of Heaven used people according to.
"Could it be...... Is it to see that person's cultivation talent?"
Thinking about the people chosen by the emperor, they seem to be very talented in cultivation, maybe this is the criterion for Liu Xuan's selection.
"This is understandable, if the Son of Heaven really cultivates an immortal body and has a long lifespan, he will naturally have to cultivate some people who can also live forever to assist, otherwise just the continuous selection of talents will be enough to give him a headache. β
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but be glad that he seemed to have a good talent, at least he was able to enter the eye of the Son of Heaven, not only soaring from then on, but also gaining the skills that countless people could not dream of
He was 'thinking nonsense' here", but Lu Bu was thinking on the side: "Listening to the meaning of the Son of Heaven, there seems to be no war this year, just take this opportunity to cultivate well!"
If it had been placed in the past, Lu Bu would never have considered this matter, but now it is very different, since Liu Xuan ascended the throne as emperor, the world seems to have suddenly changed, everything he was once familiar with has been constantly subverted, replaced by something new, completely untouched.
Lu Bu needs time to digest and adapt...... At the same time, he also began to consider whether the cultivation method could be passed on to his family.
Liu Xuan had long known about Lu Bu's love for his family, so when the court meeting dispersed, Liu Xuan was not surprised at all when Lu Bu came to see him and inquire about it.
"Who are you going to teach?"
Stunned for a moment, listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, it seemed that it was possible to agree? Originally, Lu Bu thought that the Son of Heaven would definitely not agree, after all, how precious the cultivation method was, even if it was passed on to him alone, it would already be a great favor.
"This ...... I want to teach my wife and my little daughter!"
Lu Bu has no children and currently only has one daughter. According to the custom at this time, it is not wrong to say that he has no queen (Cai Zhen once called himself no queen when he was on the table, and there was already Cai Yan at that time) It's just that Lu Bu doesn't attach importance to these things, and his daughter is also very fond of it, saying that he is asking his wife to practice the exercises, and most of the reason is that he still hopes that his daughter can also live forever.
As for what by the way becomes stronger and more powerful, he didn't think too much, a girl's dancing knives and guns is a pastime today, you can't take it too seriously, and he doesn't expect his name as the world's number one general to be inherited by his daughter.
"Oh! that's normal, you can teach yourself when you go back. β
This was in his plan, after all, there are so many people under him, all of whom are men with strong blood, can he let a group of old men live forever but not let them be accompanied by their families?
If it's just like that, Liu Xuan is really afraid that a group of men will break out together, which will make people collapse.
Besides, with the ties of the family, these civil and military generals are equivalent to having a place to go, and they will not raise any dissent, and at the same time, if the enemy comes to attack, they can also burst out stronger in order to protect their valued families, but this is ineffective for Liu Bei.
"By the way, Feng Xian doesn't have to patronize and teach his own family, he also has to teach and teach the Tiger Benjun when he takes some time!"
As soon as Liu Xuan's words came out, Lu Bu was directly stunned: "Your Majesty's intention is to go" ,... "
"That's right, although the Tiger Ben Army is now considered a rare elite in the world, for me, it is only a prototype, and only after every soldier has begun to cultivate and mastered the basic exercises, can it be regarded as a real elite. β
Now that the horses have been improved, the soldiers must of course become stronger. He doesn't expect everyone to become as tough as Lu Bu now, but at least he can't be like a weed, right?
When that time comes, maybe you don't need to send too many soldiers and horses, just a few elite troops such as Tiger Ben and Tiger Leopard, you can sweep the world Even the Yellow Turban Thief Army's Nanhua, when it encounters such an army composed entirely of monks, it is estimated that it will not be able to get any benefits.
"What's more... Who knows if the old ghost in Nanhua will also come up with such a set. β
Maybe Nanhua doesn't have any talent in governing people's livelihood, but Liu Xuan will definitely not take a peek at this guy on the issue of cultivation. Anyway, with his own ability, he has cultivated some famous people on this earth that does not have too high-end cultivation civilization, and he can be regarded as the top existence on this planet, if he wants to say that he has no brains, Liu Xuan will definitely not believe it.
What he can think of, Nanhua may not be unexpected, although he doesn't know how Nanhua can solve the problem of letting soldiers or generals improve their strength in a period of time, but Liu Xuan also has to take into account the possibility of this aspect.
Of course, he still has enough confidence in the gap in strength between the two sides, even if Nanhua really has similar means, but it is definitely not as good as himself, so he will not adjust the strategy in the general direction, and continue to go step by step.
While talking to Lu Bu, he raised his hand and motioned for Lu Bu to go with him.
At this time, the court meeting had just dispersed, Liu Xuan sat on the hall for a while, and it was inevitable to feel uncomfortable sitting at this time, so he and Lu Bu walked in the palace and walked through the palaces, while talking about issues related to the improvement of the combat power of the entire Han Dynasty army.
"In addition to the Tiger Army, the Yulin Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry must be carried out, although this year is mainly for the restoration of agricultural affairs, but the armament matters can never be put down. β
"If you want food, the imperial court will come out! If you lack weapons, let the Ministry of Industry make them for you, whether it is arrows, bows, crossbows, spears and broadswords, give whatever you want, but within a year, you must let all the soldiers of the three soldiers and horses complete the cultivation of the basic part!"
Liu Xuan attaches the most importance to the combat effectiveness of the army, otherwise he would not have put forward a plan for 800,000 professional soldiers. In his view, the army should concentrate on the war, and everything they have to do is done on the premise that they can win on the battlefield. What kind of farming and land reclamation are absolutely not what the army should do.
To this end, he can make the imperial court support this group of troops, but only if the combat effectiveness of the army is satisfactory to him.
Because the forbidden army has a large number of people and is still being reorganized, it is impossible for all of them to cultivate for a while, so they can only start with a few elite troops.
The quality of these soldiers and horses is guaranteed, and with the personal guidance of several of their own generals, how can they make some achievements in a year.
"This is also the task of several of your generals this year, and in the end, I will see who does the best and let him be responsible for commanding the army and robbers. β
Suppressing bandits, naturally suppressing the anti-thieves of the Heavenly Master's Dao, after all, the Yellow Turban Thief is a little far away now, and he won't be able to reach it for a while, but the Heavenly Master's Dao is beside him.
However, Lu Bu doesn't care who he fights, as long as there is a battle to fight, he can keep getting stronger, and at the same time show his strength, he is satisfied.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, when Your Majesty returns from his inspection, you will definitely be able to see a completely different Tiger Army!"
Seeing Lu Bu's assurance, Liu Xuan nodded, and actually came to the garden One by one, it was just spring at this time, and the snow had not yet melted, and there was really nothing to see in this garden, but Liu Xuan didn't care, anyway, it was all a walk, and it was the same everywhere.
After walking around, he suddenly asked, "Feng Xian is nearly forty years old this year, right?"
LΓΌ Bu was stunned, as if he didn't expect the Son of Heaven to suddenly ask this: "The courtier has six in the thirty years of the Chinese New Year's Eve. (I can't find out Lu Bu's birth year, but it is roughly estimated that he should be about thirty-five or sixteen years old)
"Only one girl?"
Lu Bu nodded: "There is only one girl." β
Seeing his indifferent appearance, Liu Xuan smiled: "Feng Xian is open-minded. However, as long as you continue to improve your cultivation, having no children is not a big deal. β
Giving birth to children is not called out for a legacy. But when people have an endless lifespan, the importance of inheritance is infinitely reduced, and whether or not to have children at that time depends on the mood.
is like Liu Xuan, during the time he ascended the throne, he got married for a while, but Queen Cai Tan's belly has never moved, which has made many people in the court anxious. Many ministers even suggested that the emperor accept a few more concubines, isn't it because they are afraid that the emperor will always have no queen and affect the royal inheritance?
Some time ago, because there were many things to deal with, the princes of the DPRK and China ignored this matter, and when the plan for the whole year of this year was decided, and many civil and military forces did not have much to do, they began to grasp this problem. At the time of the court meeting just now, led by Zong Zhengqing Liu Ai, a group of courtiers jumped out to talk to Liu Xuan about this matter.
even pulled the honest and silent Fu Wan on the side in, because this old man has a daughter, and the age is just right.
Liu Xuan didn't take it seriously, but he was an immortal and couldn't say it directly, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it and ignore it.
