Chapter 146 Going South

After the title adjustment, the only people currently called kings are King Chenliu and King Hongnong, and their titles do not need to be changed.

In the court, the titles of Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Ma Teng needed to be changed. Among them, Lu Bu and Cao Cao were both changed to marquis, and Ma Teng was changed to earl.

There is no region name on the title, which means that although the title granted by the imperial court can enjoy many benefits in the future, there will be no fiefdom, not even food.

Liu Xuan formulated the plan to enjoy the financial subsidies from the court based on the level of the title. This money was directly responsible for the establishment of a special department from the Ministry of Household Affairs of the imperial court. In other words, the title under the new system did not have the right to directly enjoy local taxes.

Even if they are kings, Liu Xuan has arranged it this way. Although Liu Bian and Liu Xie's positions as kings remain unchanged, they will not go to the 'fief' to enjoy local taxes. They are the same as others and enjoy everything.

Welfare benefits are all obtained from the imperial court. This can be regarded as a change in the direction of strengthening the connection between the imperial court and these people.

In addition, there were some veterans with old titles in the court, but Liu Xuan didn't care about these people. Anyway, these people are already old. It is estimated that after this battle, these people will leave the court one after another, and then

As time goes by, they will also turn into a handful of loess - to put it bluntly, they are people who will die sooner or later, so don't pay attention to them.

The new title system was promulgated. As Liu Xuan expected, a group of people did jump out to express their dissatisfaction. Among them, the royal family members reacted the most intensely. Even Liu Ai, who had gone home to retire, was rejected by this group of people.

Please come out.

Facing this veteran who had assisted him for more than ten years and was also an elder, Liu Xuan maintained due respect, but he did not give any face to him on this issue.

"The world is in turmoil, the court needs to change, and the system needs to change. I don't think there is anything wrong with this! There are so many clans in the world, and those who are capable will naturally get the rewards they deserve. As for those group of moths? There is no need for the royal family to do this.

Farmers waste even a grain of food!"

Liu Ai wanted to speak, but found that he didn't know what to say. Although he was elected to discuss the new title system with the emperor, he himself did not want to do so.

Being older and having left the court, Liu Ai saw many things from a bystander's perspective. In this way, he saw many things that he had previously ignored.

The world today is no longer the world it was then.

The current emperor is not a mediocre king like the late emperor.

What's more important is that when the emperor was ambitious, looking at all the things he did, it was obvious that reviving the Han Dynasty was not his real goal. Maybe regaining the world was just the beginning!

How could such an ambitious emperor tolerate someone holding him back?

Of course, if he was a benevolent emperor, he might have to worry a lot, but today's emperor is obviously not the case. Even since the Han Dynasty, all the kings have not been as decisive as this emperor's killing - he will kill for just one more nonsense.

Even though Liu Xuan didn't kill many people, not even as many as Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, who did he kill today?

Mi Heng, a famous scribe in the world!

Kong Rong was a great Confucian of the time, and he was after Kong Sage!

If these two people are replaced by any king, they have to weigh it carefully, and most of them will not kill them in the end. But when it comes to the emperor of the day, why not just kill them?

As for what consequences it will bring? It is impossible for the current emperor not to know, but he just doesn’t care.

Just because these two people were killed, every minister in the court today is more and more careful when speaking, for fear that he will accidentally anger the emperor, otherwise it will be a small matter to lose his official position, and it may even implicate the whole family - then

Although the method of killing the nine tribes has not been used a few times, it is like a long knife hanging above everyone's heads, exuding a deep chill and constantly reminding them.

Liu Xuan has not wielded a butcher knife in the past two years, which is actually related to the murder of Kong Rong.

The ministers were all cautious, and no one wanted to be the unlucky guy who died in vain.

In addition to this, it is also related to the fact that the decrees implemented by Liu Xuan in recent years have not been understood by that group of people. Everyone is busy adapting to everything new, including new technologies, new ideas and new lives. They

I have no intention of competing with the emperor.

Such a day is pure, but a little boring. Fortunately, Huang Yueying was not idle and tinkered with some better things, which allowed Liu Xuan to kill a lot of time.

After sending Liu Ai away, Liu Xuan was busy with only one thing in the next few days: preparing for the Southern Expedition!

With the arrival of the new year, the battle in Jingzhou has also reached its most critical moment.

As expected, Liu Biao suddenly died of illness at the most critical time of the war. The Cai family and the Kuai family united with many forces in Jingzhou to negotiate with Sun Ce to seek an armistice.

This time Jingzhou fell into complete chaos.

Although the Cai family and the Kuai family controlled most of the power in Jingzhou, Liu Biao was not just there to look good in Jingzhou for so many years. There were also many families who had good relations with him in private. In addition, the eldest son Liu Qi was running around in many places, thinking that the cause of Liu Biao's death was

There were many strange things and required detailed investigation, so the Cai family asked the Kuai family to suppress the opposing forces while stepping up contact with Sun Ce.

It can be said that this is the best time for the imperial court to send troops. Not only is the division well-known, but Sun Ce's foothold is not stable, and the Cai family is being questioned. The strong intervention of the imperial army can also minimize the resistance of the locals.

"So, Lu Bu is the vanguard, commanding 10,000 imperial troops and tiger and leopard cavalry, and Yulin cavalry! I myself lead 40,000 central troops behind me!"

With 10,000 forbidden troops plus two elite legions, and Lu Bu at the helm, Liu Xuan really didn't believe anyone could resist such a combination.

At the same time, Liu Xuan took Sima Yi as his marching staff (the marching staff appointed by Liu Xuan were temporary appointments during wartime, and had the same nature as the governor, not an official official position) and accompanied Lu Bu in the front army.

There are also Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang, Jiao Chu, Chunyu Qiong and others waiting in front of the tent to take orders to facilitate Lu Bu's deployment. In addition, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Tai Shi Ci from the Yulin Cavalry, and Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Cao Chun from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

, this vanguard combination is simply gorgeous.

Liu Xuan himself was in charge of the central army, and he was accompanied by the generals Zhang Xiu, Xu Rong and Xu Huang. There were also many civil servants who accompanied the army to handle some government affairs nearby. After entering Jingzhou, he would join Liu Bei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhu Ling and others.

, the army marched south in a mighty manner, and with just these generals, they could probably flatten Jiangdong.

As for Liu Xuan's original plan of detouring by sea to the eastern area of ​​Jiangdong and then carrying out a landing operation, he gave up because he was planning to let Sun Quan flee overseas, otherwise the siege would be too strong and Sun Quan would not even be able to escape.

When the army set off, Lu Bu had already led his troops and horses ahead. However, it was not easy for Liu Xuan's Chinese army to set off. They spent a long time in Beijing. When they finally set off, the core of Liu Xuan's Chinese army was not only a few more

It's a big car, and it makes a little bit more noise.

This time with the army, Liu Xuan brought all his women with him. Cai Yan originally thought it was a bit inappropriate, but Liu Xuan blocked Cai Yan's excuses with one sentence: "Let's just go to the south to travel."

!”

Zhen Mi originally wanted to agree with Cai Yan, but after thinking about it, she found that she also wanted to see how the scenery in the south was different from that in the north, so in the end she firmly defected to Liu Xuan's side.

.

Diao Chan listened to whatever Liu Xuan said, so she nodded and agreed from the beginning. Er Qiao also wanted to go back to her hometown and had no reason to refuse. Not only did she not refuse, she even looked at her with eyes full of longing and expectation.

Looking at Cai Yan.

Coupled with the fact that Huang Yueying's whole body is hung up on Cai Yan, Cai Yan has no choice but to nod.

However, with so many women going out with the army, there are a lot of troubles to be solved, and many people need to be brought with them to eat, drink, eat, drink, and serve.

Fortunately, Huang Yueying invented the hover car. With this kind of transportation tool, no matter how many people he brings, it will not have any impact on the army. It is nothing more than enlarging the circle to be included.

Liu Xuan stood on the top of a suspended car. This was a specially created area surrounded by iron railings. Standing here, you don't have to worry about falling, and you can enjoy the surrounding scenery as you like.

In addition, the suspension car is already very stable, and it is driven more slowly at this time, and it will not feel bumpy.

Looking left and right, looking back and forth, they were all full of soldiers, with flags fluttering in the wind and cavalry carrying orders that shuttled through the formation from time to time...

"How spectacular!"

Standing aside, Huang Yueying's eyes widened. This was the first time she saw a real army of thousands of troops going out for battle. The sight of no one in front, back, left, or right gave her a great shock.

"It turns out that the real army looks like this. It was so weak in the movie!"

Da Qiao, who stretched out his hand to prevent Huang Yueying from accidentally falling, tilted his head: "Movie?" He didn't know what it was.

Huang Yueying waved her hand: "You will know later!" Then she raised her feet and stepped on the railing, trying to stand higher, but was pulled back by Da Qiao: "Be careful, don't mess around!

"

By the way, when Huang Yueying came out this time, she originally thought that her father would object, but she didn't expect that her old father didn't say anything and just nodded to show that he understood.

But she didn't know that because she had been running in and out of the palace all day over the years, and had become so familiar with the emperor, the queen, and other nobles and beauties, almost the whole of Chang'an and Luoyang knew that Huang Yueying would definitely be by the emperor's side in the future.

A woman.

Now even those who value Huang Chengyan's status and reputation and Huang Yueying's own talents will not come to propose marriage to the Huang family, but no one dares to compete with the emperor for a woman.

Over time, Huang Chengyan started to look away.

She was going to get married anyway, and it was also a good thing to establish a good relationship with the queen and the concubines as soon as possible, so she didn't care about her. It was just that when chatting with friends in private, she would inevitably be teased about it.

On the other hand, this girl Huang Yueying didn't realize anything at all, and she still wondered why her father became so easy to talk to. But as soon as she went out and saw such a scene, she threw all these things into the corner.
