Chapter 2 Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

Following Liu Xuan's words, a man about 1.83 meters tall and wearing a suit that covered his whole body walked out.

The helmet on this man's head covered most of his face, and others could only vaguely see a pair of eyes that showed almost no signs of life.

The man in black armor took off his helmet, revealing his covered pale face - it was Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, the original overlord of Jiangdong and the elder brother of Sun Quan who was now in exile overseas.

It's just that this man who once opposed Liu Xuan has now become Liu Xuan's most loyal subordinate. Although he still retains his own thoughts and consciousness, his thoughts have changed because of an idea that can never be changed.

Earth-shaking changes, which resulted in...under the same situation, he would make completely different choices than before.

"His Majesty!"

In fact, when he was just resurrected, Sun Ce called Liu Xuan master, but Liu Xuan always felt that it was awkward for a big man to call him master, so he ordered him to change the title.

Looking at Sun Ce kneeling in front of him respectfully, Liu Xuan now felt that he was like the ultimate villain, especially when he thought that he wanted Sun Ce as his brother to deal with Sun Shangxiang. This kind of

The feeling became more intense.

"Your sister wants to assassinate me... No matter what, you should be happy to see your sister, right?"

"Anyone who attempts to threaten Your Majesty should be destroyed, even if she is my biological sister!" Sun Ce's answer was quick and firm, without any hesitation, and his eyes exuded very fierce killing intent.

, and even affected his own strength, the temperature of the entire Tianji Pavilion suddenly dropped a lot, and the ground under Sun Ce's feet was even covered with a layer of frost.

All this was seen by Liu Xuan, to which he just replied lightly: "My mastery of the power of ice is still too poor, master it as soon as possible!"

"I disappoint His Majesty!"

While trying hard to collect the overflowing cold air, Sun Ce's performance never exceeded his expectations, as if he were Liu Xuan's most loyal servant - not even a general, so his behavior was almost the same as that of a servant.

With a casual hum, Liu Xuan waved his hand and let Sun Ce go down.

Today I came to Tianji Pavilion. In addition to talking to Yu Ji, I came to see the situation of Sun Ce. From the current point of view, Sun Ce after his resurrection has indeed met his expectations in terms of strength. It is just because he suddenly gained this huge power.

His own grasp of power is too poor, and it is estimated that it will take several years to truly control this power for his own use.

Because of this, Liu Xuan has always asked Sun Ce to hide in this palace and not show up, so as not to cause any trouble - anyway, Sun Ce is not considered a living person now, and not eating, drinking, resting or sleeping will not have any impact on him.

, after all, to a certain extent, this is a 'corpse' that is self-aware and able to move freely.

It's just that compared to Zuo Ci's puppet corpse, this one is much more advanced! Of course, it has its shortcomings, that is, although the strength of the physical body has been correspondingly improved, in order to maintain flexibility, it is not as good as Yan Liang and others.

Wen Chou is so tempered and hard (people with average cultivation cannot cause any damage to him even if they use weapons).

In order to make up for this, Liu Xuan used the remaining materials to directly help Sun Ce temper a set of armor, which is the black full-body armor that he wears at all times.

The armor has no gorgeous decorations, nor any strange patterns. It is very simple, but everyone can see the defensive power of this armor - unlike the scale armor worn by most generals today, this is a model closer to the European Middle Ages.

The plate armor worn by the heavy cavalry was just that Liu Xuan made more detailed treatments on some joints to maintain flexibility.

Originally, he was thinking about getting some skull and other patterns on the armor, but he gave up in the end - wouldn't doing those things clearly tell the other party that this person is different? Now, even if Sun Ce plays some

At most, the other party knows that "it's strange for a big man to wear black armor". As for the scope of this black armor, there are many people who like to wear black armor, and even the standard armor of the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

is black.

Therefore, even if Sun Ce makes some tricks again and attracts some people's attention, they will not be able to judge whether the person they are facing is 'that person' before they actually encounter all kinds of 'strangeness'.

"This is in line with my original intention!"

Turning around and leaving Tianji Pavilion, I looked at the sky with the sun shining high. The weather today was good. Although there were a few clouds floating in the air, it could not hinder the sun from exuding its enthusiasm. In addition, it was still spring, and the weather was not hot yet. It was warm.

Very comfortable.

During this period of time, because I have been busy practicing and dealing with political affairs, I haven't had a good relationship with my women for a long time. Even Huang Yueying, who has matured, has no time to eat her, but let this girl

Escaped his own 'devil's claws'.

"Huh, if you can escape for a while, can you escape for the rest of your life?"

With a mischievous smile, Liu Xuan asked Cao Bao beside him: "What are the queen and the empresses doing at this time?"

"Your Majesty, the queen and ladies are relaxing in the imperial garden!"

"Well... take me there!"

As the days passed, the court gradually stabilized, and Cao Bao's position naturally became more stable. Now when it comes to being the first eunuch, Cao Bao cannot be the second person.

It's just that unlike many powerful eunuchs, Cao Bao has a pretty good reputation. Ultimately, it's because he is not greedy for power and knows what he can and can't touch. Moreover, after Liu Xuan taught him the skills,

He doesn't care that much about money, so except for some routine courtesy, he basically doesn't accept gifts from others.

Moreover, he was quite knowledgeable about political affairs. When many ministers had urgent matters and asked to see the emperor, Cao Bao would not stop them. Therefore, he had good relations with all the ministers in the court, and his relations with these people were not bad.

This reputation will naturally not be bad - after all, these people in the court today have a network of connections all over the world, and the students have mastered the public opinion of this era. As long as they do not criticize Cao Bao, his reputation will naturally not be bad.

Stink.

As for the other eunuch Zhang Rang, this old eunuch passed away the year before last. He passed away without any pain and was deemed to have passed away. Although Liu Xuan also taught him some skills, his foundation was ultimately too poor and he suffered several major changes.

I am very satisfied to be alive to this age.

Fortunately, he taught Cao Bao everything he needed to teach before his death, so he died as well.

After walking through the Dragon Palace for a while, Liu Xuan did not take a car. Although the new palace was very large, he was not in a hurry. He took advantage of this time to relax and unwind, so why rush by car?

But even so, we soon arrived at the Imperial Garden - after all, the Imperial Garden was for the emperor, queen, and concubines to relax, and it was impossible to build it far away from the main palaces of the imperial palace. That would not be inconvenient.

If so, the meaning of building an imperial garden will be lost.

It has to be said that this imperial garden was created by all the best craftsmen in the country. The scenery is indeed beautiful, and the area is large enough to cover almost all kinds of scenery from all over the world.

Even if Liu Xuan wanders there for a long time, he will not feel bored - the same scenery has different tastes in different seasons, not to mention so many different scenery? It is enough to see it all.

Liu Xuan is like this, not to mention those women? So whenever they have free time, these women like to get together in twos and threes and hang out in the garden. Basically, if they can't be found in the palace, they must be in the imperial garden.

From time to time, Huang Yueying called Liu Zi to go to the royal hunting ground to play. The rest of them were not very interested in shooting and archery.

Surprisingly, all the women came together this time. Even Huang Yueying didn't run around, nor did she sit in the weapon refining department tinkering with any new inventions. Instead, she was wearing a light yellow dress, and her head was always

The yellow hair was tied into a beautiful bun, and then the rest of the hair hung naturally on the back of the head. There was also a crystal-encrusted hairpin inserted in the bun, which gave Liu Xuan a feeling: looking at some things in the future.

The illusion of an idol costume drama.

This strange mix of modern and non-modern, ancient and non-ancient is actually quite beautiful, so Liu Xuan did not resist, and even came to Huang Yueying to look at it a few more times, making this girl feel extremely embarrassed.

stand up.

Of course, in the end, you can't help but raise your neck and say: "What? Have you never seen this girl dressing up?"

The girls laughed sweetly after saying this. In fact, these women all admired Huang Yueying very much, because except for her, no one seemed to dare to talk to the emperor like this.

What's more, today's reputation outside is mixed, and Liu Xuan revived the Han Dynasty and restored the power of the Han Dynasty. Even the Confucian students who dislike him the most hold their noses and nod in approval. But for Liu Xuan,

They also spared no effort to publicize Xuan's temper and various behaviors, which led to many people knowing that today's emperor has a bad temper and will kill his whole family when he is angry. He is very cruel.

Under such circumstances, some ministers who were not familiar with Liu Xuan were trembling when they went to the court, fearing that they would offend the emperor if they failed to do anything well. Ordinary people would not even dare to express their anger in front of him. Who would dare to be like her?

Holding your neck high like this and supporting the emperor?

"It's indeed quite rare. Don't you usually dress casually and make yourself miserable?"

When talking about this, the laughter of the girls became more obvious. Huang Yueying worked in the Refining Department and often tinkered with inventions. When making inventions, it was normal to stay up for days and nights without sleeping or washing her face, so everyone often saw Huang Yueying.

She was so embarrassed that she was so accustomed to it that she didn't feel strange at all - when she first saw how embarrassed she had made herself, several sisters even said, "How come girls don't pay attention to their appearance so much?",

But after a few years, they were too lazy to talk about it.

You can dress according to your own temperament, whatever makes you feel comfortable. If there is an explosion or something occasionally, you will be even more embarrassed. Not only will your clothes be in tatters, but your hair will be fried like a chicken coop, and your face will be as smoked as coal.

Likely.

Fortunately, Huang Yueying habitually wears a tight-fitting protective suit underneath, so there is no risk of exposure.

In addition, compared to the time when Huang Yueying was just helping out in the Weapon Refining Department, now she is a serious doctor in the Weapon Refining Department, in charge of the three-acre area of ​​the Weapon Refining Department, and she has to make the decision no matter how small the matter is.

In addition, the Refining Department has now transformed from the core high-end manufacturing unit of the Han Dynasty into a pure research institution, and the manufacturing has been completely taken over by the Ministry of Industry. In addition, Huang Yueying has made many achievements long ago, and is valued by the emperor.

Therefore, although he caused some disturbances when he took office, he eventually became an official official of the Han Dynasty smoothly.

Almost at the same time that Huang Yueying took office, Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi also officially entered the Forbidden Army. She was not given any privileges. She was only awarded a school captain based on her meritorious service in Jingzhou.

But even so, Lu Lingqi was the first female military attaché in the Han Dynasty to actually get a formal official position, which really gave the Han people a lot more to talk about.

What's more, his father is still the most powerful general in the world, Lu Bu, which makes him even more legendary. There are even teahouses who make up some jokes and tell them to the guests who come to drink tea every day.

After learning this, Liu Xuan went to listen to it several times, and then he personally issued an edict, asking the idle people in the court to change some important battles that took place when the Han Dynasty unified the world into jokes, and then sent them to

The shopkeepers of major teahouses asked them to publicize the "glorious deeds" of the Han Dynasty in their own teahouses.

It is precisely because of the recognition of the people and the court's deliberate guidance of public opinion that the affairs of Huang Yueying and Lu Lingqi did not cause too much negative comments and saved a lot of trouble.

As for the princes in the court, they had a premonition that such a day would come sooner or later from the many things the emperor had done back then, so they didn't say anything.

It's just that they are still fighting hard against Zhen Mi's appointment as a doctor in Taixue - forget about those marginal officials, the doctorate of Taixue is too important, and this place must not be lost.

It's a pity that in Liu Xuan's eyes, these actions are just to add some fun to him. They will all succumb sooner or later anyway, so just take your time.

When talking about these heroic women, Liu Xuan once again thought of Sun Shangxiang who wanted to assassinate him.

According to what Yu Ji said, Sun Shangxiang was unaware of the connection between Yu Ji and herself. He even asked Yu Ji to take her to Luoyang and then looked for a suitable opportunity to assassinate her in Luoyang. He even asked Yu Ji for appropriate help.

The poor little girl didn't even know that she was begging the wrong person. Maybe it was because Yu Ji had been teaching her so hard for so many years, especially after fleeing overseas, which made her think that Yu Ji was a trustworthy teacher, so she never thought of other possibilities.
