Chapter 63: Sunset Inn
The emperor accepted the queen, not simply canonized the queen.
It has a very rigorous set of processes.
After discussing with Xun You, Liu Wei issued an edict to prepare for the canonization ceremony with Liu He as the sect.
Liu He is the son of Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, and the previous Zongzheng was Liu Yu.
Even in this happy matter, Xun You was cautious.
During this time, he had been a little worried about the emperor's sudden attack on Jing and Yierzhou.
The lessons of Liu Fan and Liu Dan are very likely to happen to everyone.
Looking at the world, among the state pastors, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, and Liu Yan are the most powerful.
In order to avoid further expansion of the situation, Xun You advised that he should take this opportunity to temporarily ease relations with Liu Yu.
And Liu He is not as ambitious as Liu Fan and Liu Dan brothers, he is also reserved in the court, and he does not show anything wrong.
Although Liu Wei was a little unhappy about taking his wedding as a condition, he was still persuaded by Xun You.
Children also know how to win over a few and fight a few, not to mention above the court.
Liu Yan is estimated to be mad now, his eyes may be red, and he may suddenly be killed at any time.
And although Liu Biao's old silver coin is pretending to be dead, it is estimated that his attitude towards the imperial court is also clear.
In such a situation, there is really no need to provoke Liu Yu, who still has a certain check and balance on the Yuan brothers, Gongsun Chan and others.
And Liu Yu is a person, Liu Wei will be a little unable to see through it for a while.
Although he was given a yellow robe several times, he sternly refused, and he also pursued a policy of gentleness in the local area.
In particular, the degree of convincing of the northern Hu people in this guy is surprisingly high.
When ordering Liu He to prepare for Nacai and other matters, Liu Wei also issued an edict ordering Tang Ji's father, Huiji Taishou Tang Mao, to rush to Beijing.
The process of canonizing the queen is actually Liu Wei's wedding.
The woman's family said that they would also be present, but Liu Wei was still considering how Tang Mao would reward him.
Like Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Wei didn't want to do anything about cultivating a strong family.
However, this matter does not need Liu Wei to be overly concerned, he just put forward his own opinions, and the specific discussions include Lu Zhi, Xun You and others, who have been oppressed by eunuchs and relatives for most of their lives, in fact, they also do not want such a thing to happen again.

The war is going very well.
Under the joint strangulation of the Four Route Army, the rebel army led by Li Dao and Guo Yan was defeated in the first battle and had lost its general momentum.
The extremely tough attitude of the imperial court, as well as the shortage of food and grass, made this army, which originally had 100,000 people, fall apart at this moment, and countless soldiers took the opportunity to abscond.
The report sent by Huangfu Song said that Li Dao and Guo Yan had a falling out and had parted ways.
The remnants of the two of them combined were less than 50,000.
Huangfu Song also took the opportunity to divide his troops, and Ding Yuan led LΓΌ Bu to the north to pursue Guo Yan's rout army flowing north.
And he and Han Sui flanked the east and west, pursuing Li Wei's troops who were trying to converge with Ma Teng in the south.
In the recital, Huangfu Song also mentioned Xu Rong and Duan Xuan again.
Duan Xuan agreed to the conditions of the imperial court, and would unite with Xu Rong, and when he fled south, he would take the opportunity to attack and kill Li Wei and seize the army.
And after the matter was completed, he deceived Xu Rong's trust and took the opportunity to arrest him and escort him to the imperial court.
Although Huangfu Song repeatedly said that Xu Rong and Duan Xuan were good generals, Liu Wei still felt a little awkward when he looked at the names of these two people, and the Xiliang army burned, killed and plundered in Guanzhong, and it can be said that no general is innocent.
Xu Rong and Duan Xuan can only say that they can restrain their subordinates in time and do less than others.
"It's hard for me to go back on my word." Liu Wei lay on the case and muttered to himself.
When Xun You and Cao Cao heard this, they looked up together.
"If Duan Xuan descends, can he be ordered to lead an army by himself and temporarily support the wind?" Liu asked thoughtfully.
Xun You's eyes moved slightly, and he already understood in his heart why the emperor sighed so much just now.
Although the emperor's attitude towards the rout of Xiliang was extremely resolute, he felt that it was appropriate and there was nothing wrong with it.
The current imperial court really needs to show its iron and bloody skills.
"If the minister remembers correctly, Duan Xuan seems to be the Wuwei Guzang clan, although the right Fufeng is thousands of miles away from Guzang, but the rebels in the land of Yong and Liang are difficult to handle. When they divided, they were fighting for life and death in Liangzhou, but when they joined forces, they would not hesitate to commit three convicts, this matter has happened several times, and the minister thought that such an important place should not be handed over to the local generals to guard. Xun You said.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court cannot do risky things for the time being, and there is no need to take risks."
Vaguely, Xun You seemed to guess the reason why the emperor had this idea.
This should be a test for Duan Xuan.
But even if it is a change of troops and horses, this matter is extremely unsafe.
If there is a war, more soldiers will definitely listen to the orders of the main general, rather than the partial general, or Sima, etc.
Liu Wei bowed slightly, and suddenly chuckled, "Imperial Captain strongly recommends Duan Xuan, and there is indeed no need for me to have more doubts. β
To deal with a general, if it is just on paper, there is definitely a simpler way.
But it's actually very difficult to get it in practice.
Duan Xuan was originally a Zhonglang general, and after he surrendered, it would obviously be inappropriate to directly take away all his rights.
Doing so will first affect the future plans of the imperial court.
With such a lesson from the past, who will surrender to the imperial court in the future?
But if you want to wait for him to show his feet before making a move, you will first have to risk the lives of countless soldiers.
Liu Wei shook his head and said, "Let's talk about whether it is appropriate to use troops against Han Sui." β
He decided to put Duan Xuan's matter aside for the time being to see the after-effects.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can't use troops against Han Sui for the time being!" Cao Cao said, "After the Xiliang rebels are exterminated, Guanzhong should be rectified as soon as possible and the people's livelihood should be restored." Han Sui has a large number of generals and is familiar with the landform of Liangzhou, if he immediately goes deep into Liangzhou to start a war, the imperial army's army in Guanzhong will be difficult to get out in a short time. β
Liu Wei looked at Xun You.
Xun You's eyes were pensive, and he arched his hand and said: "What the minister and General Cao see is the same. Now that the alliance between Han Sui and Ma Teng is falling apart, the imperial court can sit back and watch the two compete for the time being, waiting for a good opportunity. β
Liu Wei said neatly, "In this case, let's stop for the time being." β
He really wanted to make a move, but with the help of Cao Cao and Xun You's analysis, it seemed that it was indeed unrealistic.
Historically, Cao Cao made great efforts to deal with Han Sui and Ma Teng.
It took a long time, more than a decade.
Liu Wei was eager to shorten this time process, but suddenly found that he seemed to be stepping into the trap of quick success.
Some things are really urgent.
β¦β¦
Sunset Pavilion, Sunset Inn.
Cao Ren, who had a resolute face and a tall posture, looked at this behemoth standing at the most prosperous street entrance of the Sunset Pavilion, and his eyes were full of curiosity, "Obediently, how did this building be built?" Really high. β
Xiahou Yuan, who was carrying a package on his body and his clothes were a little shabby, said sullenly: "It must have been built by hand, how else can it be built?" β
Cao Ren sighed, "Miaocai, you said that you talk like this, how can others pick it up?" Of course I know that it was built by hand, and I know not only that it was built by hand, but also that it was built by hand! Don't you think a six-story wooden building is amazing? β
"It's amazing!" Xiahou Yuan said.
Cao Ren: ......
He waved his hand depressedly, "Talking to you is more difficult than talking to my girl, pull down, pull down!" β
Xiahou Yuan smiled, "Let's go, my brother should have arrived." β
"Hmm." Cao Ren answered and stepped in.
This sunset inn looks extremely magnificent from the outside, and when you enter the inside, it is even more luxurious.
"Good girl, it's really bright." Cao Ren looked around as if he had never seen the world, and shouted loudly.
"Hey, good boy, what are you eating? I've never seen it. β
"Hey, I'll be obedient, look at that big elbow, is it a cow or a pig? It smells so good! β
"Good girl, it's so fragrant!"
Cao Ren looked at the food being carried by the maid through the hall, swallowed his saliva frantically, and his eyes were straight.
"Why didn't my brother see the clothes of these maids...... What about the outstanding? Xiahou Yuan suddenly said faintly.
"The maid's clothes?" Cao Ren snorted twice, and then noticed that all the girls who came out with the food in their hands, "Yo, good girl, why are they all girls, and they are wearing so little?" I'm afraid it's not safe. β
Xiahou Yuan: ......
"I heard that the Sunset Inn is written by His Majesty himself, and behind this inn, there are five hundred garrisons, I think there should be few people who dare to despise these lovely maids here." Xiahou Yuan said.
Cao Ren looked stunned, "This inn is so powerful?" Even His Majesty personally replaced the plaque? β
"This place was personally ordered by His Majesty to supervise the construction, and the captain of the city gate sent people to take care of it, what do you think?" Xiahou Yuan glanced at Cao Ren and said.
Cao Ren's shocked eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he asked in surprise, "How do you know these things?" β
"I just heard that!" Xiahou Yuan said speechlessly, "Also, can you stop being so loud?" Everybody was looking at the two of us. β
Only then did Cao Ren notice that the eyes of countless diners in the hall were really focused on the two of them.
"What do you see? Haven't you seen a country man who has never seen the world? Wonder is the daughter of ignorance! He touched his head and scolded.
Xiahou Yuan: ......
It's embarrassing enough to be stared at curiously by so many people.
But there is such a fool as Cao Ren by his side, and Xiahou Yuan regrets a little why he followed this goods.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Cao Cao, who was holding a saber, walked down, "I thought you two died halfway down the road, go, follow me upstairs, and drink two glasses of wind wine first." β
He enthusiastically grabbed Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan's arms one left and one right, and led the two upstairs with half pulling and half pushing.
On the fifth floor of the Sunset Inn, in the window lattice, you can see the whole picture of the Sunset Pavilion.
"Brother, I just saw a big red elbow downstairs, can you give us two?" As soon as Cao Ren sat down, he said eagerly, those slender maids did not enter his eyes at all, but the big elbow lingered in front of his eyes, making his stomach sound like a shock.
Cao Cao smiled heartily, "I have ordered someone to arrange it, and I will come in a while." β
Xiahou Yuan stared at Cao Cao's saber and asked, "Isn't my brother always wearing a sword, why did he suddenly change it to a sword?" β
"Gee, I've found something really wrong with your eyes. The little girl downstairs who didn't look at the mouth-watering food, but saw through it, didn't think about eating when she got upstairs, but stared at her brother's saber, isn't this thing my brother wearing a knife if he likes a knife, and a sword if he likes a sword? Cao Ren couldn't help but say in disgust.
Cao Cao smiled and said in a low voice, "I do like swords, but today I like swords." β
Cao Ren's plump Heavenly Court and his eyebrows lifted fiercely, "What does this have to do with Your Majesty?" β
Xiahou Yuan glanced at Cao Ren, "You still think about your food." β
"Lie to me ignorance, don't you? Are you lying to me for being ignorant?! Cao Ren was furious, grabbed Xiahou Yuan's shoulder with his eyes, and shook it a few times.
"Enough, what's the fuss, eat." Cao Cao snorted.
The maid who rushed in was holding a tray in her hand and placing on the table the same kind of food that could not be seen anywhere else.
Cao Ren stared at the maids downstairs for a few breaths, then turned his head and asked, "Is Your Majesty reluctant to add clothes to these maids after building this magnificent palace-like inn?" β
Cao Cao raised his eyes and snorted lightly, "I think you want to go to prison for two days just after you came, those clothes don't look thin, but they are not cold at all, they are all made of wool." Especially the pants, it's actually a little too hot to wear this spring, don't you see the sweat on the foreheads of those maids? β
"But they're wearing skirts?" Cao Ren retorted.
"There are pants under the skirt!" Cao Cao said angrily.
"So powerful? I've got to check it out! Cao Ren said and was about to get up.
was hurriedly pressed down by Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan.
"You can stop for a moment." Cao Cao hurriedly said, "If you dare to lift the skirts of those maids, I won't be able to save you." They all came out of the palace, and His Majesty remembered that these people had been in the palace for more than ten years, and let them go out of the palace voluntarily to fend for themselves. β
"It turned out to be Gong E!" Cao Ren muttered, "No wonder everyone is so cute, looking at my age, can I marry?" β
"Yes." Cao Cao nodded.
"Really?" Cao Ren was shocked, he just asked casually, but he didn't think it was really okay.
"Your Majesty has already decreed on this matter, and if they themselves agree, no one can stop them from going." Cao Cao said.
Cao Ren's heart was obviously moved, and he muttered thoughtfully: "Your Majesty is doing this, aren't you afraid that the palace ladies in the palace will be married?" β
"Don't worry about these things, some people are in a hurry to get out of the palace, some people want to enter the palace, personal ideas are different, what do you care so much for? If you get the maids to agree, marry them. Cao Cao lifted his chopsticks and clicked on the table twice, "Eat!" β
"I'll have to try." Cao Ren grinned, "We are also captains now, and we can raise them." β
Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan glanced at each other, both a little helpless.
"Brother, why haven't I seen this food from anywhere else?" Cao Ren ate in a whirlwind and asked by the way.
Cao Cao, who had already seen the world, ate slowly, and said, "Created by Your Majesty, you naturally can't see it in other places." That is, Your Majesty is generous, otherwise I would not want to eat such a delicacy. β
Cao Ren was stunned, "This is also made by His Majesty himself?" Obediently, Your Majesty is doing everything yourself. β
"Almost." Cao Cao lifted his wine glass and said, "The clothes on those maids are also made by His Majesty himself. β
The corners of Cao Ren's mouth twitched, and he said in a daze, "Your Majesty...... It seems to be a little idle, and he even has to make women's clothes himself! β
"By the way, the thermal pants are really warm, and mine has already been replaced." Cao Cao said.
Cao Ren: ......
"Why do you seem to be able to do anything nowadays...... he muttered.
Cao Cao suddenly said with a profound face: "Your Majesty has sleepwalked in three thousand worlds and knows many things that we don't know. β
Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan: ????
