After half a year, the tall city wall of Luoyang once again appeared in Liu Jian's sight.

Jizhou is a prosperous place among the Han states, but compared with Luoyang, there is still an insurmountable distance.

In terms of overall scale, all the cities in Jizhou are more than two grades behind Luoyang, which is Liu Jian's most intuitive feeling in Jizhou in the past six months.

When he returned to Luoyang, he first went to the General's Mansion and the Election Department to perform the procedures for retiring as the pastor of Jizhou, and then naturally got a copy of Ren Yilang's thorn sticker, which was a necessary process for the Han court.

Until a new position is issued, all the outgoing officials will stay in the 600-stone council position for a period of time.

Subsequently, Liu Jian returned home.

Zheng Ci, who has given birth to a child, has not changed much, but her thin body seems to be thinner than before, and she looks a little weak, which makes Liu Jian very distressed.

He hurriedly instructed the kitchen to cook more broth every day in the future to strengthen his wife's nutrition.

"Madam, where is Ji'er?"

Thinking of his newborn child, Liu Jian couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

This is his first son in this world!

In this patriarchal world, the eldest son is the closest existence to the father, and can even be regarded as the father himself, because he is the one who inherits everything that the father has except for life.

Zheng Ci said gently, "The child is in the house."

"Take me to see it!"

Zheng Ci led Liu Jian to the inner room, where Xiao Liu Ji was awake and did not sleep.

The child was held in the arms of the nursing mother, staring at Liu Jian with a pair of big eyes, curiously.

Today is the first time he has seen his biological father since the birth of this child.

Zheng Ci walked over with a smile, hugged Liu Ji, and said in a low voice, "Look, Xiangzi, this is your father."

"Ahh

Xiao Liu Ji stretched out his chubby little hand and worked hard in the direction where Liu Jian was.

Or this is the power of blood connection, the child is not afraid of Liu Jian, and even took the initiative to hug him.

Liu Jian stretched out his hand and hugged the child.

The child itself is not heavy, but under this hug, Liu Jian's heart seems to have become heavier.

At this moment, there was an indescribable feeling that took root in Liu Jian's heart.

Looking at the child in his arms, Liu Jian seemed to be more determined and made clear what he wanted to do!

Both physically and mentally, at this moment, there is a lot of power.

The lifelong love of father and son is sometimes under this embrace.

Merely......

"Sweet Boy?"

Liu Jian looked at Zheng Ci in surprise while holding the child, and wondered, "What is this name?"

"It's the name of the child given by the concubine."

"Why did you come up with this nickname? Like a girl...... Oops! Don't mess with it!"

Xiao Xiangzi, who was less than a year old, was dishonest with his hands and feet, and began to pull his father's hair in Liu Jian's arms.

Zheng Ci said with a smile: "When the fragrant child was born, there was a strange fragrance on Zhou's body, so the concubine gave the child such a milk name."

"When a child is born, there is a strange smell around him?" Liu Jian looked at Zheng Ci in surprise: "Sister, shouldn't she smell wrong?" Do you smell yourself?" ….

Zheng Ci smiled: "My own child, how can a concubine be wrong? This child was born with a strange fragrance, which is quite magical."

Liu Jian lowered his head and sniffed the child, feeling that there was no smell at all.

Strange smell? It's really funny.

I guess it was too painful to give birth and hallucinate, right?

That's it, no matter what, the child's mother gave the child's milk name, and it is difficult to change it yourself.

Fragrant children are fragrant children.

Fortunately, I didn't call him a red boy.

Otherwise, he would really become an old cow.

……

……

Liu Jian teased Liu Ji for a while, when Xiaoxiang fell asleep, Liu Jian quietly went out of the room and went to the side house to find Liu Bei.

The two of them met in a hurry at the main gate, Liu Jian went to see his wife and children first, and asked Liu Bei to settle Zhao Yun, Xiahoulan and others on his behalf.

I have to say that the house that Yuan Ji helped Liu Jian buy covers an area that is still very large, even if Zhao Yun and other thirty young men live in a partial house, it is enough.

It's just that they naturally can't live in an independent house, they have to be a bunk in one room, six or seven people in a room, and try to squeeze as much as possible.

But even so, in the realm of Luoyang, where every inch of land is valuable, it is very good for them to have such a place to live in this location.

Seeing Liu Jian coming to find him, Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Deran, I have settled the thirty-four young Yicong you brought back."

"Brother worked hard!"

"Brother Xian, I just talked a few words with Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan who were the leaders, and found that although the two of them were young, they showed calm thoughts and affection between their words, and I asked Li Damu to arrange a house for them, and the two of them were the heads of the righteous followers, but let the others live in a bright and spacious room, and the two of them chose the most remote and humid house, although it was a simple and trivial matter, but it was enough to see the character and mind of these two people."

Liu Jian sighed: "This group of young people came here with me, and in the future, you and my brothers should treat them well, after all, they are all poor teenagers."

Liu Bei was quite curious when he heard this: "Why did De Ran say this?"

Liu Jian immediately told Liu Bei about Zhao Jun and Zhao Yun's brothers, as well as Xiahoulan and other Changshan volunteers.

After Liu Bei listened, he was silent for a long time.

When he was young, Fang heard him sigh: "Although I have never seen that Zhao Jun, but I only listened to Deran's words, and knew that he was a good son of self-denial and righteousness, this Zhao Zilong lost his brother for the righteousness of his fellow villagers, and his heart was sad, but he did not complain, and he was also a young man!" What the Zhao brothers did is really admirable! What a hero!"

Liu Jian sighed and said, "It's a pity that the court law is located, I can't let Zhao Jun go for personal reasons, so I can only send him to Liaodong and write to Yun Chang."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Yun Chang is a person, the most righteous, he has always been arrogant and not overbearing, with his temperament, if he knows Zhao Jun's experience, he will definitely take great care of him!"

Liu Jian smiled, "I think the same way."

The two brothers walked together in the courtyard and talked about the matter of Luoyang.

"Brother, after coming to Luoyang, apart from being met by His Majesty that time, what else happened?

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "There has never been anything important, Your Majesty summoned me to meet me that time, and it was just to inquire about the affairs of the Youzhou place, and I answered Your Majesty according to the wording of the teachings in your letter, and there has been no more summoning since then." ….

"What about Master Lu? Have you ever met between master and apprentice?"

Liu Bei said: "Naturally, after I arrived in Luoyang, I visited Master Lu three times, and Master Lu also gave me a lot of guidance on my career, he asked me to follow you well, so that our brothers can support Your Majesty and revitalize the Han family."

"However, after three meetings, Lu Shi was transferred to Hedong to serve as Taishou, and he has not met again since."

"Hedong Taishou?"

Liu Jian muttered silently and nodded suddenly.

It seems that Liu Hong is still somewhat apologetic to Lu Zhi.

The land of the three rivers, Suwei Gyeonggi, belongs to the barrier of Luoyang.

In addition, it intersects with other counties, and because it is close to Luoyang, the land of Sam Rivers belongs to the jurisdiction of the central government, and its status is second only to the Gyeonggi region, and it belongs to the quasi-Gyeonggi region.

The north and south are in contact, the economy is developed, there are many rich households, and the ancient saying goes: the land of three rivers, the people of the Tang Dynasty in the past are all in Hedong, the Yin people are in Hanoi, and the Zhou people are in Henan. Fu Sanhe is in the world, if he is full, the king will live more.

Therefore, appointing Lu Zhi as the Taishou of Hedong is, in a sense, not only Liu Hong's expression of trust in Lu Zhi, but also his guilt towards Lu Zhi.

Teacher Yilu's temperament, this time I am afraid that he will also be grateful to His Majesty.

Liu Jian sighed and said, "As soon as Master Lu leaves, my brother is here

There is no one I know in Luoyang, so I think it will be very boring to stay during this time, right?"

Liu Bei replied quite seriously: "To be honest, I was really depressed at first, but fortunately, I met someone later, who was quite enthusiastic about me, and every few days, he invited me to go to the suburbs, go on outings, play hunting, and have fun inside and outside Luoyang City, but he led me to play all over it, so it was not too boring."

"And this good man?"

Liu Jian was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't it Yongle Shaofu, Anguo Pavilion Marquis Yuan Ji?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "What! You and the Marquis of An Guoting are friends with each other, and everyone knows about this matter, but as the head of the Yuan family, you will not look down on me like this, but Yuan Junhou sent someone to the mansion to ask me about it in the face of you, so that if I have something difficult, I can go to the Yuan Mansion for help, but I have no difficulty at all, where is it embarrassing to go to the Yuan family to climb!"

"That's ...... too."

Liu Jian nodded.

Yuan Ji has befriended himself to this extent, to be honest, there is a certain element of luck, but he is Zheng Xuan's son-in-law, and with Yuan Ji's status, how can he deal with Liu Bei?

"Who is the person who led you to play with you in Luoyang City?"

"It's Cao Cao, Cao Mengde."
