Time passes, the passage of two years at the end of the Han Dynasty is not quiet at all, with sharp blades and blood, the war in various parts of the Eastern Han Dynasty can be described as vigorous.

With the frequent civil strife in the Han region, the border invasion of Huqiang has become more and more difficult to distinguish ethnic groups, and Xianbei and Wuhuan are also stupid and unclear.

Chang'an Palace, the end of the meaningless dynasty, Liu Xie was dressed in the crown of the Son of Heaven, accompanied by the tiger, leaving Yang Biao, Dong Cheng, and Yang Feng in the warm pavilion of the North Palace to discuss tributary trivia.

Liu Xie has been strictly taught royal etiquette since he was a child, although the task of monitoring him by the tiger guards around him is far heavier than the task of guarding him, but after a few years of adaptation, Liu Xie still has a little imperial majesty between his words and deeds.

Of course, this kind of prestige can only be maintained when no one is bothering him, at least the three people left at this time, in Liu Xie's cognition, still have enough respect for him.

"Yang Sikong, played in the court, Yizhou Liu Yan wantonly made a ride on the car, and there are thousands of them, which have the intention of being called the emperor, but is it true?" Sitting down in the warm pavilion, the coldness on Liu Xie's original face disappeared, and he was a little depressed, and asked Yang Biao.

"Your Majesty, Liu Junlang is a chariot or a prince chariot, and the number of more than a thousand is a bit too much, and there are few terrains in Yizhou that are suitable for chariots. Since Liu Biao reported in a hurry, in the opinion of Yichen, Liu Yan may have the intention of going out of Yizhou and invading Jingzhou. Yang Biao said to Liu Xie.

"Heh, he's only been in Jingzhou for a few years? Is this trying to plot Jingzhou? Liu Xie, who is older, has a smile on his face, his eyebrows and eyes are clear, but he is a little clever.

"Alas~ Liu Yan has a close relationship with Zhang Lu in Yizhou, and he borrowed Zhang Lu's hand to seize the state, and won the hearts of the people in the name of the clan, but he has gained power in Yizhou." Yang Biao sighed.

"Then he will intercept the angels? Just cut off the Yizhou tax tribute? Doesn't he already have the heart to be the emperor?! Liu Xie reprimanded angrily.

Well, it doesn't matter what else matters, what matters is taxes and tribute.

Chang'an is short of money and food, and his treatment as an emperor is still ranked behind the Xiliang Army, and he can't pay taxes and tribute in various places, but he still wants to let him, the son of heaven, bear the name of collecting taxes, which is the biggest resentment in Liu Xie's heart.

Since Dong Zhuo was killed, because of Liu Cangdong's hammer and west's nonsense, Chang'an has ushered in two or three years of stability.

Chang'an is stable, and the officials of the DPRK and the central government are also arranged neatly.

The Son of Heaven was in power, and all the officials were there, but unfortunately the military and government were controlled by Guo Yan and Li Wei.

There are many people who are dedicated to the royal family among the hundred officials, but most of them are useless, and it is okay to take advantage of the situation to support a scene, and those who can bring substantial help to Liu Xie in Chang'an are probably the three Yang Biao in front of them.

After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the powerful and powerful divisions in various places, the early years of the DPRK and China all kinds of mediation games seem to be a bit outdated, Guo Yan and Li Wei control the government with the help of military power.

Hongnong is adjacent to Chang'an, which is the foundation of the Yang family. Because of Yang's management, many farmers in Hong reciprocated respect and pity to the Son of Heaven. Guo Yan and Li Wei didn't want Chang'an to be chaotic and trivial matters, but they were a little polite to Yang Biao.

Dong Cheng was originally Niu Fu's old department, and when Niu Fu was killed, Dong Cheng also pulled a group of soldiers to become independent, and he was regarded as a person with military power in Chang'an City, Liu Xie married his daughter, and he became a relative of the new generation.

As for Yang Feng, needless to say, the leader of the Baibo Army, on the side of Liu Xie.

Liu Xie can still maintain the demeanor of a son of heaven now thanks to him, otherwise, with Guo Yan and Li Wei's urine, he can get him a night in the inner palace or something in minutes, Yang Feng belongs to the absolute living force in Liu Xie's hands.

In the face of Liu Xie's reprimand, Yang Biao had nothing to argue except shaking his head and sighing.

Originally, Liu Xie had great expectations for Liu Yan, after all, Yizhou is also adjacent to Chang'an and borders Liangzhou, which can become an important weight to restrict Liangzhou.

It's a pity that Liu Yan doesn't care if he does anything else, but he intercepted and killed the imperial envoy and cut off the tribute to Chang'an, which is enough to show that Yizhou can't be counted on.

"Since Liu Biao said about Liu Yan, what about Jingzhou? Can Jingzhou pay taxes? After a short silence, Liu Xie asked Yang Biao again.

"Alas~, Your Majesty, Liu Biao has been at war with Yuan Shu for a long time on the grounds of inheriting the jade seal of the country. Liu Yan bought a chariot to enter Jingzhou, I am afraid that he also has some intentions for the jade seal, Liu Biao said that he was a thief for His Majesty, he was too busy to take care of himself, it was difficult to pay taxes, and he refused to pay tribute, but he also did not lose his righteousness. ”

Yang Biao sighed again, and Liu Xie's little face was already flushed with anger.

There is no shortage of Guo Yan and Li Dao in the warm pavilion attendants, but Liu Xie and a few people do not need to hide their deliberations here.

In fact, these things are closely related to the entire Chang'an, Liu Xie is worried about these things, Guo Yan, Li Dao and even Han Sui are all happy to see it.

After all, Chang'an has to arrange their military expenses first. And these things, Guo Yan and Li Wei blindly forced the courtiers to assist the government all day long, but they also consciously handed over to Liu Xie to exercise and govern.

What should be done, what shouldn't be touched is not touched, everyone understands...

"Jade seal, jade seal again! Am I better than a stone? Liu Xie gritted his teeth. Of course, even he himself took this statement as a whin.

Under normal circumstances, even the jade seal of the country is not as good as the Son of Heaven himself, the Son of Heaven is there, without this, it is enough to engrave another one.

But the question is, who makes this world abnormal?

Everyone can use the jade seal as an excuse to fight, saying that it is to protect their reputation, and it is okay to say that it is to save a little face for him, the son of heaven, and it is really difficult for Liu Xie to pick things too clearly.

'Liu Cang, it's all that Liu Cang, if he hadn't thrown the jade seal out at the beginning, Jingzhou wouldn't have so many bad things. Liu Xie scolded in his heart, but he could only scold in his heart.

There is no way, in fact, what Liu Xie can't afford to provoke the most now is Liu Cang, not because Liu Cang can fight, nor because Liu Cang is strong and strong.

It's really because: among the states of the Han Dynasty, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, Luoyang, and now only those places that have a relationship with Liu Cang still pay regular tribute to Chang'an.

Don't look at the princes of all parties, they don't seem to be able to take care of Chang'an. But Chang'an has been able to stabilize so far, thanks to Liu Cang's support from time to time.

If you can't starve to death, you can't hold on, so you didn't let the Xiliang Army rob the house, which can be regarded as maintaining the last bit of dignity for him, the son of heaven, and also allowing him, the son of heaven, to take all kinds of blame.

Liu Cang! Liu Xie can't afford to provoke him, he doesn't dare to say bad things, he dares to scold Liu Cang, he, the son of heaven, is about to be rumored to be cold.

"What's the situation in Jizhou? What about Yuan Shao? Liu Xie shook his head, threw Liu Cang's figure out of his mind, and turned to look at Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng came from Hejian, and suggested earlier that Yuan Shao should be given a state pastor, so that Yuan Shao could thank the emperor for his kindness, and at least pay part of the taxes. Guo Yan and Li Dao have no opinion on this, just give money and food.

But the result...

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao did a little biased in the matter of Han Fu in the early years, although the civil strife in Jizhou in recent years, but Taihang Mountain gathered many anti-Yuan people, Qingzhou is also held by Gongsun of Liaodong, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan The fight is becoming more and more serious, and they often confront each other with heavy troops. . . ."

Dong Cheng was embarrassed, and before he finished speaking, Liu Xie waved his hand powerlessly and interrupted him.

"Okay, okay, needless to say, is it too busy to take care of yourself? And what about the river? There is no one in the river to worry about me? Liu Xie asked.

“。。。” Dong Cheng was silent.

Between the rivers? He didn't know what to say, to say that the first emperor would also think about Hejian's hometown from time to time, but the problem was that all the princes and kings of Hejian were offended by the first emperor.

The first emperor is a master who does not buy and sell in full, arranging princes and princes for the children of the Hejian clan, not to mention collecting money, but also buying and selling, and forcing buying and selling, the most serious problem is that he only sells the princes, and the food and euphemism are all in the royal treasury.

This is somewhat of a bully.

Liu Xie didn't know the situation in Hejian, and Dong Cheng and these people couldn't analyze with him what the emperor did in his early years, Nuan Ge fell into a short silence, and Liu Xie couldn't be relied on as an old family member, and his heart was angry and depressed.

"Xuzhou and Qingzhou are on good terms, and Cao Mengde has been attacking Xuzhou for a long time, but in order to go north to support Yuan Shao? The strife is false, but the land is real! The whole world has abandoned me~? Liu Xie vented his grief and anger.

"Your Majesty, Guo Yan and Li Wei lack prestige, and it is difficult to collect taxes and taxes. The military salary is declining, and there is a lot of turmoil in the army's heart, and the two seem to have the intention of letting His Majesty move back to Luoyang. Yang Feng hesitated to interject.

"Huh? They are not afraid of Liu... Uncle Huang? Liu Xie was stunned, and Liu Cang's name almost blurted out.

"They have the heart to take refuge in the king of Dongping." Yang Feng lowered his voice.

“。。。” Liu Xie was silent, and panic appeared on his face instantly.

"I ... Can... The Queen Mother is in Luoyang. Hanging his head briefly, Liu Xie raised his little face again, his eyes were full of tears, and he looked helplessly at Yang Biao and the others.

“。。。” The three were silent. Yes, the Queen Mother is in Luoyang, and the three of them all suspect that Liu Xie went to Luoyang, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will have another son of heaven who died young?

was coerced and thrown into the well, in comparison, it was obvious that Liu Xie still felt better being coerced.
