Huang Chengyan really didn't know much about this man Liu Xuan. He even felt that even people who specialized in studying history only knew a few words about this old man.

Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, a member of the Huang family in Jingzhou - I don't know if he is the clan leader. At least the one the Huang family in Jingzhou can talk to is Huang Zu. It seems that Huang Zu is more powerful?

Although Huang Chengyan's group is very famous in Jingzhou, it does not have any real power. In this case, it is not difficult to understand why he took the initiative to help Zhuge Liang build momentum.

This is too far. Now that Liu Xuan is so involved, it is estimated that Huang Chengyan will have no contact with Zhuge Liang, because if everything goes well, Huang Chengyan's group will leave Jingzhou directly and settle in Chang'an.

Even Huang Chengyan himself will no longer be a hermit, but will truly become a powerful court official.

At this time, Huang Chengyan was thinking about why the emperor recruited him to the capital.

The emperor's conversation with Zhang Ji just now did not avoid him, so he knew that the emperor was looking for Zhang Zhongjing to get the hospital.

But I don’t have any medical skills, so why am I still called here? It can’t be that the emperor values ​​my talents and wants to serve as an official in the court, right?

With a self-deprecating smile, he felt that this might be too low.

But he never expected that this guess turned out to be true.

After Liu Xuan looked at Huang Chengyan for a while, he suddenly asked: "Do you have children?"

"Huh?" I was wondering, why did the emperor ask such a topic as soon as he opened his mouth? However, the emperor inquired, so he couldn't neglect it, so he quickly answered: "I have a daughter, she is six years old this year!"

"oh!"

Liu Xuan nodded clearly, which made Huang Chengyan even more confused as to what Tian Tian's expression meant.

Of course, he couldn't know that Liu Xuan's expression was because he had confirmed that Huang Yueying was already born, and she was just a little girl at the moment.

"Six years old. According to the custom at this time, a woman becomes an adult at fifteen, and girls from big families don't consider marriage until they reach adulthood, so the time is about the same!"

Now according to the AD commemoration, it is 195, ten years later it is 205, and Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain in 207, the time is just right.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan suddenly wanted to take a look at Huang Yueying and see if this girl, who is known as a strange woman of the generation, is as ugly as the rumors say? At the same time, is her talent really so shocking that even Zhuge Liang would be inferior to her?

"When you came to Chang'an this time, didn't you bring your daughter with you?"

Huang Chengyan was stunned for a while before he responded: "Not really!"

Liu Xuan looked at his expression and guessed that the old man might be secretly wondering what he meant by asking him. But thinking about it, his words were indeed easily misunderstood, so he coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment.

Gradually the conversation turned to business matters.

"I heard that the Huang family in Jingzhou is good at the art of mechanism formation. This time Han Sheng invited you here just to ask, do you know how to use the mechanism?"

"Mechanism?" Huang Chengyan didn't expect that this was the reason why the Emperor came to him. However, he was really good at this mechanism, so he was not too modest and said directly: "That's exactly what the director is good at!"

"oh?"

Huang Chengyan's answer made Liu Xuan very happy, and then he started talking with the old man. He thought about the world where Liu Xuan once lived, and how many things he used in the world, even if the institutions had developed to a certain extent.

The immortal who is quite accomplished in this field of knowledge can kill Huang Chengyan instantly with just a few things he knows in his mind.

However, he didn't say anything too profound. Instead, he selected some basics among the basics to discuss with Huang Chengyan.

At first, Huang Chengyan was still surprised that the emperor actually knew these things. However, as the chat lasted longer and the content became more and more, he gradually felt that the emperor's achievements in the mechanism formation were not inferior to his. While he was surprised, he also felt that he had found something.

The feeling of knowing oneself.

As Emperor Wu only respected Confucianism, factions other than Confucianism were suppressed to a considerable extent. In addition, the government agencies did not provide much help in officialdom, and they did not still have a large amount of inheritance like Legalism.

In today's era, it can be said that there are very few people who have inherited the art of mechanism. There are so few that Huang Chengyan doesn't know who else in the world is good at this except himself.

I didn't expect that today's emperor would actually understand it and be quite proficient in it. Gradually, I suddenly felt a feeling in my heart: "Could it be that my Huang family is going to rise to prominence just like this?"

While he was thinking about it, the emperor suddenly nodded with satisfaction, and finally said: "The post of Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was vacant, and I was unable to find a suitable person to fill it. Now this problem has been solved!"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Chengyan felt his heart skip a beat, and a rush of blood rushed to his forehead. He trembled twice as he wanted to say something, but in the end he endured it. Then he stood up and came to the palace, respectfully facing Liu Xuan.

Salute: "Your Majesty thinks so highly of me, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations!"

Now, as the imperial army defeated the Yellow Turban bandits, wiped out the bandit army and killed the bandit leader Nan Hua, the prestige of the imperial court has been restored, and at the same time, everyone has a certain understanding of the changes in the court.

Although this minister was an important minister in the court in the past, he is absolutely incomparable to the current minister.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, established six departments and put Shangshu in charge, the status of Shangshu has improved several levels compared with the past. In just a few years, it has surpassed Jiuqing and ranked below the three Dukes.

Moreover, the Shangshu became the department that truly held real power in the court, in sharp contrast to the increasingly marginalized Jiuqing.

Now everyone in the world knows that the most promising people in the court are Liubu, and Jiuqing is no longer as eye-catching as before.

When Huang Chengyan set out from Jingzhou, he never thought about becoming an official in the imperial court. At that time, he also hoped that he could enter the Sixth Ministry, but he never expected that today's emperor would be so generous and agreed to be Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

If he had not experienced many things at a young age and had good self-cultivation skills, he might have lost his composure in this shock. Fortunately, he held it back and consciously behaved appropriately.

But even so, after sitting back, I felt like I was in a dream, and my whole body felt light and airy.

"Now that you are serving as Minister of Industry, you will have to live in the capital. It is best to bring your family to Chang'an as soon as possible so that they can settle down as soon as possible."

When Huang Chengyan heard this, he suddenly felt confused. He glanced at Liu Xuan a few times and then seemed to understand something. However, after thinking of this, his face became even more bitter, and he stopped talking for a while before he said

He finished: "This...has your majesty heard from somewhere that the minister has a daughter?"

“I’ve heard a little bit about it!”

Liu Xuan didn't know how to ask this, but he didn't hide it at all and nodded directly. As for where he heard it, he wouldn't say more.

Huang Chengyan did not ask, but said: "This... maybe the rumors your Majesty heard are somewhat false..."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Huang Chengyan thought about it for a moment, seeming to be thinking about how to say it more appropriately. He paused before continuing: "Wei Chen has a daughter, but she is not pretty. Even her nickname is A Chou..."

Just thinking about the origin of his daughter's nickname made Huang Chengyan feel a headache, but he was helpless.

"Huh?" Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, wondering why Huang Chengyan was telling him this. He looked at the old man's embarrassed and anxious face, and then he suddenly understood.

"The old man Qingqing thought I had heard some rumors, thinking that he had a daughter who was very good-looking and wanted to make her his concubine! But his own daughter was not very good-looking, so he was afraid that she might be accused of bullying the emperor, so he decided Hurry and explain to me!"

Liu Xuan's guess was indeed correct. At this time, Huang Chengyan was still wondering who brought such a rumor to the emperor. Could it be that he wanted to harm himself secretly? At the same time, he hoped that the emperor would not be angry about this matter.

Now that he understood what was going on, Liu Xuan naturally knew how to respond. He was comforted for a while, but he did not directly say: "I'm not interested in your daughter or anything!" Instead, he said: "I just heard it. Huang Shangshu has a very strange girl. She has been very smart and has been doing everything all night since she was a child. She is especially good at government agencies, so I am just curious!"

"So that's it!"

Huang Chengyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If such rumors were true, it would be nothing. In fact, there were indeed similar legends in Jingzhou.

There was nothing he could do about it, his daughter was completely different from other girls. She had been as naughty as a boy since she was a child. She had gotten into a lot of troubles in the past few years, which gave her a huge headache - how could such a girl get married in the future?

Fortunately, my daughter has a smart mind. She can learn what she teaches and can even draw inferences from one example. She is truly a rare genius. It’s a pity that he is not a son, otherwise he will definitely be a top figure in the future.

However, a good mind can also lead to good talents. Maybe you can find a young man who values ​​knowledge in the future? In addition, the Huang family has some status, so it will not prevent your daughter from getting married. But if you climb up to the emperor ?He really didn't dare to think... With his daughter's temperament, if she really entered the palace, she wouldn't be able to overthrow the entire imperial city?

At the same time, the appearance of my daughter... I guess the emperor would not like her either.

"What a good girl. She makes weird things all day long and makes herself look like that... ugh..."

Sighing secretly, Huang Chengyan put these things aside, but he didn't expect that his expression would fall into Liu Xuan's eyes, which made Liu Xuan even more curious about Huang Yueying.

"This girl seems to give dad a huge headache. I don't know what kind of girl she is?" After thinking about it, a thought suddenly came to her: "Isn't this Huang Yueying really a dresser?"
