He took Cai Yan and Diao Chan with him, and at the same time brought King Chenliu and King Hongnong as well as Princess Hongnong and Tang Ji. What surprised Liu Xuan was that the Shi Taoist was also traveling with him.

The Taoist priest was originally a wandering Taoist priest who was worried about Liu Bian's death and invited him to raise her son. Later, because he took care of Liu Bian and had such a relationship, he settled down in the capital.

When Liu Xuan fled Luoyang with the civil and military officials, Shi Daoren was not among them. However, for the sake of his second brother Liu Bian, Liu Xuan still sent him a letter, which only stated that if he wanted to find Liu Bian in the future,

If you want to debate, you can go to Chang'an.

Later, Luoyang was occupied by Dong Zhuo's generals, which destroyed the great city of Luoyang. Shi Daoren was not spared either. If he had not had some means, he might have died in the chaos.

After escaping from Luoyang, Shi Daoren did not come directly to Chang'an. Instead, he walked around and took a look at the situation in the world. Finally, he took a look around Chang'an, and then he had a plan in mind and went to find King Hongnong.

Liu Bian now lives in the palace of Prince Hongnong. Liu Bian respects him very much and treats him as his elders to support him.

Liu Xuan also heard about this a little bit, but he didn't want to interfere too much in his younger brother's life. In addition, Shi Daoren did have a kindness to Liu Bian in raising him, and it was legitimate for him to be worshiped by Liu Bian, so he didn't overdo it.

Pay attention to this matter.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yan did not expect that Shi Dao Ren would also accompany him on this trip.

In addition to these few people, the general who commanded the army was Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, who Liu Xuan specially transferred to the imperial court from Jingzhou. Huang Zhong was still in his prime at this time, although his hair had grown early due to working hard for his son in his early years.

A little grey, but still looking very good.

It may also be because his son has been dead for a long time and he has gradually become more open-minded, so Huang Zhong is not as depressed as Liu Xuan thought - think about it, Liu Biao can declare Huang Zhong as the lieutenant general,

It can be seen that Huang Zhong is already willing to become an official, but what is a pity for Liu Xuan is that Huang Zhong's son has passed away long ago... but there is one less chance to win over people's hearts.

As for Huang Zhong, he was very surprised at the imperial conquest at the beginning. He never expected that he would be recruited by the imperial court.

However, he himself was very happy about this kind of thing... In the final analysis, it was because in the early years, he traveled here and there to treat his son's illness and spent all his family's savings.

Now that his son has passed away and he still has his wife to live on, he starts to look for something to do. At first, he did some things in the county. Later, when Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, it might be because he was a member of the Huang family.

Relationship... I want to make good friends with myself, and after giving myself a chance to make meritorious deeds, I will take advantage of the opportunity to go to the table to recruit a lieutenant general for me.

At that time, he only felt that if this matter came true, his family's living situation would be greatly improved - although he was a member of the Huang family, he was not a direct descendant, only a side branch. In addition, the Huang family was a large family in Jingzhou, so it was impossible for everyone to

The clan members were all taken care of, and they basically lived their own lives. Therefore, Huang Zhong never considered seeking help from his fellow clan members... but wanted to use his own abilities to change the status quo.

What's more, Huang Zhong is also arrogant. He is not incompetent, so he naturally disdains accepting charity from others... But he didn't expect that Liu Biao's attempt to win over Liu Biao would cause such a change.

However, considering that I had nothing to miss in Jingzhou, and it was easy to think of my deceased son, I simply brought my wife to Chang'an. After this period of time, my life was quite comfortable.

In particular, Chang'an had abundant food and rice, and the court never treated him badly. His salary was paid out on time, and any difficulties were solved for him as soon as possible. Under all kinds of care, Huang Zhong gradually adapted to life in Chang'an. However, Huang Zhong gradually adapted to life in Chang'an.

Such good treatment also made him feel guilty if he didn't do something good... so he wanted to perform well.

It was a pity that when the emperor came to attack Li and Guo Si personally, Huang Zhong was a step too late and failed to catch up with the battle. He felt regretful for a while, feeling that he had missed a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds. He never thought that he would miss this opportunity.

How long...His Majesty actually appointed him to accompany him and guard the left and right sides. This job was a great job. Huang Zhong had settled his family properly and made preparations early. However, it was not until today that he met the current emperor.

"You're still so young!"

This was Huang Zhong's first feeling when he saw Liu Xuan, and his second feeling was: "His Majesty is tall and strong, with steady and powerful steps, and he seems to have good martial arts skills."

He didn't know much about Liu Xuan at all and could only observe a little bit. Fortunately, he was wearing armor and carrying a bow and arrow at his waist. He didn't need to make a big salute, just a military salute, so he could keep looking at him.

While looking at it, I was thinking about some rumors about the emperor that I had heard from hearsay.

Some people said that the emperor was cruel. He would directly kill an official because he did not like his remarks in the court. He also devised some method of killing the nine tribes. Some people said that the emperor was even more cruel than the tyrants of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Some people said that the emperor was cruel.

, he actually saw a beautiful woman in Situ's residence and directly forced her away from Wang Situ.

At that time, Huang Zhong, who had just arrived in Chang'an, was still worried and suspected that he had made a mistake in accepting the conquest and coming to Chang'an.

But then he heard some good things. For example, under the current governance of His Majesty, the lives of the people in Chang'an and surrounding areas are getting better and better. At least in the past two years, the people of this generation have never had to worry about food.

Originally, these words were not conspicuous. After all, people like to talk about those miscellaneous things when they are full. Such things are most easily ignored.

But who are Huang Zhong and others? They immediately realized the key. They understood that those comments may be biased and cannot be true, but it is real that they can make the people live and work in peace and contentment and have enough to eat. The longer Huang Zhong lives, the more he feels that today

The emperor is not that unbearable. Compared with the two late emperors Huan and Ling, he can even be said to be a rare wise king.

Especially those ridiculous words made him smile bitterly - today there is only one queen, and besides that there is not even a nobleman, not to mention asking a woman from Situ's house to serve in the palace, even if

It’s not too much to ask for ten more.

The only thing that is certain is that the emperor seems to have a bad temper. After all, the method of killing the nine tribes was indeed the work of the emperor.

But after meeting him today, Huang Zhong felt that the emperor was not a hard person to talk to. At least when he came out of the palace and talked to him now, he always had a little smile, and there was no aggressive and oppressive feeling when he spoke, which made people feel comfortable.

A feeling like a spring breeze.

He raised his eyes and looked again. At this time, the emperor was in front. Sitting on the two horses slightly behind him were King Hongnong and King Chenliu... The brothers looked around while talking about trivial things. Huang Zhong looked at it for a while.

Then he rode his horse back to check on the situation of supplies for the rear army.

Liu Xuan was talking to Liu Xie at this time... Xu had never been out before. The two brothers seemed very excited. Their heads had been turning around since they left the imperial city, even though there was no beautiful scenery around them.

, and looked at it with the same enthusiasm.

Behind the brothers are several large cars, each of which has its own use. The first one is driven by Cai Yan... At this time, Diao Chan and Tang Ji are both talking to Cai Yan in the car, although the big car hides it.

It's tight, but you can still vaguely hear some sounds coming from inside. It seems that these little girls are also very excited.

When they arrived at the city gate, there were already people waiting for them. One of them was wearing court clothes. He saw the team approaching from a distance and was waiting at the city gate. Liu Xuan took a look but didn't recognize it... Cao Bao, who was next to him, came forward and whispered: "That's Jing Zhaoyin."

Sima Lang, the eldest son of Sima Fang, is currently working under his father's account. It is said that Sima Fang has been in poor health recently... He is probably here on behalf of his father."

Liu Xuan nodded, and when he was approaching the city gate, he got off his horse and paid homage to everyone.

In the crowd, Liu Xuan had been sizing up Sima Lang, and saw that this man was about thirty, tall, and quite strong. If he were wearing armor, he would look like a general commanding an army. Just then, he heard Cao Bao say

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 sights on a young man standing in the crowd.

This young man is not short in height. At least standing in the crowd, there is absolutely no big difference between him and the people around him just in terms of body shape. But Liu Xuan has sharp eyesight, and even in the crowd, he noticed this young man... because just now

When everyone was paying their respects, only this young man secretly looked at himself for a while.

"Oh? Who is this boy?"

Sima Lang originally came to see the emperor out of the city on behalf of his father. He just wanted to see him at the city gate, and it was nothing. But he didn't expect that the emperor would ask some young man. Suddenly, he felt a sudden inspiration in his heart. When he looked back, he found that he

The second brother just blended in with the crowd.

"This is the second younger brother of a minor minister. He is young and ignorant of the world. I hope your majesty will forgive you."

He just saluted and didn't see what happened, but he was quick-thinking. Since the emperor could notice his younger brother in the crowd, there must be something he didn't do well.

The Han Dynasty had strict rules on etiquette. There was a lot of emphasis on what kind of etiquette you should give to anyone you meet. Most likely, when your brother was noticed by the emperor, it was due to poor etiquette. In the eyes of acquaintances, this was a serious problem that could be scolded.

It would be even more troublesome for the emperor.

Liu Xuan also knew what he was worried about, and waved it off casually: "I'm just curious, why is there such a young official in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion? He turns out to be the son of Duke Jiang."

Having said this, he seemed to think of something in his mind, and waved to the young man. Seeing that the young man walked forward without fear, without any timidity and panic of the young man, he became more and more sure of the guess in his heart: "This young man is not afraid.

Custom, what is the name?"

When Sima Lang saw Liu Xuan looking at him, he knew that he was asking him: "This is Sima Yi, the second younger brother of Wei Chen!"

Liu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said to himself: "It is indeed him!"

A sudden change came to my mind, and I suddenly made a decision: "My brother is about the same age as King Chenliu, so he can be my companion. Do you have any objections to letting me travel with you?"

Sima Lang was stunned. Although he didn't understand how it could develop like this, but the emperor said so, what objection could he have? He could only say respectfully: "It is my second brother's blessing to be able to follow His Majesty. I am a humble minister."

No objection!”
