As soon as Liu Xuan came back, he saw Cai Yan's expression. At first he said something unhappy happened to his queen, but later he saw that she was absent-minded while eating, so he asked directly.

Unexpectedly, Cai Yan's answer was: "Rumors are spreading everywhere nowadays. If you talk too much, Your Majesty will not listen to good advice. In the long run, you may miss important affairs of the court."

When Liu Xuan heard this, he realized that the rumors in Chang'an City had spread so fiercely that they had already reached the palace. Of course, the palace was not a secret place at the moment. It was just leaking everywhere. Since the last time in Nanhua,

It can be seen that they can use puppet manipulation and other techniques to assassinate him. Although Zhang Liao and Lu Bu mobilized troops to strengthen their defense after that day, no matter how they were protected, the rumors spread by word of mouth could not be prevented.

At the same time, he did not expect that what Cai Yan was worried about was not that he would become a foolish emperor, but that the rumors would spread more and more fiercely and ruin Liu Xuan's reputation. In that case, it would definitely be a major trauma for the current Han Dynasty - the emperor is not enough

Wise and virtuous people in the world will probably not come to serve in the imperial court after seeing the current chaotic situation.

If that happens, won't the world become more and more chaotic?

Of course she didn't know that Liu Xuan didn't mind reputation at all, and to some extent, he even wanted to make his reputation worse.

Only in this way can we draw out those dishonest people and finally catch them all. Now these rumors not only don't matter, but actually help him.

As for the operation of the imperial court? Liu Xuan believes that as long as it continues, many matters of the imperial court will continue to operate normally, and the talents in the imperial court are enough to be mobilized by himself - and as the power of the imperial court slowly recovers, those who are truly useful will continue to operate normally.

Talented people will not be able to see the situation. When that time comes, do you still have to worry about talents?

"It's okay, they're just a bunch of clowns."

Although he had been enlightened, Cai Yan still had some sadness in his eyebrows, and he didn't eat much for dinner. However, this kind of thing could not be proven immediately, so Liu Xuan could only put it aside for now.

But speaking of talents, Liu Xuan remembered that he asked Lu Zhi to send a letter to Liu Bei, and at the same time there was an edict he issued. He didn't know what happened now.

During this period, because Hulao Pass was breached, Chang'an could receive news from the Kwantung Allied Forces more quickly. The Kwantung Allied Forces were currently surrounded outside Luoyang City and were competing with some of Dong Zhuo's remaining forces in the city, but it was said that Luoyang

Yang is not stable internally, and there are even signs of chaos on its own.

In addition, after the Hulao Pass was broken, Zhang Ji led a group of troops and rushed south to Jingzhou. It was unclear where he was at the moment. Liu Xuan secretly guessed: This guy didn't go to Wancheng again, right?

However, Zhang Ji's affairs have little to do with him. Even if Zhang Ji really establishes a foothold in Wancheng, Liu Xuan has no time to deal with him now. However, if Zhang Ji takes Wancheng, he will definitely conflict with Liu Biao. Maybe he can send an envoy to Liu Biao.

, let Liu Biao and Zhang Ji fight for a while first?

Speaking of Liu Biao, I finally received a letter from the new Jingzhou Shepherd a few days ago. It is said that after taking office, he made great use of local talents, used the power of local powerful families to eliminate local banditry, and is now working to restore people's livelihood.

From this point of view, Liu Biao did have some ability, but when he thought about it in the following years, he suddenly lost his ambition to improve himself because he lived in Jingzhou too comfortably or something else - but Liu Xuan liked such a clan member.

With ability and limited ambition, it seems that Liu Biao's side may be able to return to the rule of the imperial court without wasting troops.

The trouble is that the gentry forces in Jingzhou are still intertwined and control many local affairs. It is a pity that they cannot be removed one by one.

This can be seen from the fact that when Liu Biao went to Jingzhou to take office, he was forced to be unable to bring half of his entourage into Jingzhou. When Shangguan took office, no one from the Jingzhou gentry went to take care of him? It would be wrong to say that they did not have this ability. Didn't you look at Liu Biao?

After stating that he favored the local wealthy family, did he immediately kill all the so-called bandits?

To put it bluntly, these guys are just deliberately trying to show off to Liu Biao. If you don't use me, then you, the Jingzhou herdsman, will stop being a Jingzhou herdsman. Maybe one day your head will be chopped off by bandits.

If you use me, we will let you sit safely in this position, but you have to ask our opinions on big and small matters, and at the same time, you must not affect the local interests of us people in Jingzhou...

After what happened to Liu Biao, Liu Xuan became more and more disgusted with these powerful families, but it was not enough to catch them all in one go. Liu Xuan had to continue to pursue the method of fighting one faction and pulling another faction away.

Among them, the Jing family and the Cai family don't seem to have any outstanding talents, but the Huang family, not to mention being a prominent family in Jingzhou, also has a few talents worthy of being attracted by Liu Xuan - the Pang family, on the other hand, seems a bit useless.

As for Liu Xuan's desire to reuse the Huang family, it was because Liu Biao made a petition: Because of his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, he petitioned for Huang Zhong and Huang Han's promotion, and asked for the post of Zhonglang General on his behalf.

At this time, Zhonglang General was still a very high military position. Before the title of general was not common, Zhonglang General was the real power holder. This point has been reflected in the original Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were just Zhonglang General.

But you can know it by commanding an army.

Although Liu Biao was the governor of the state, he still had to ask the imperial court for instructions on whether to appoint such an important military position. Originally, there was no need to ask the emperor to make a personal decision on this matter. However, Liu Xuan cared about Huang Zhong on the list, so he made this appointment

Suppress it and don't respond for the time being - the emperor won't respond, and the ministers won't say anything. What's more, Huang Zhong is not in Chang'an. They don't take a foreign general too seriously.

That is to say, Zongzheng and Liu Ai reminded Liu Xuan from time to time: "If Liu Jingzhou returns the title of a lieutenant to the table for consultation, it shows that he is extremely loyal to the court. Such loyal ministers are also members of the Han clan, so their hearts must not be chilled.

Regardless of whether your Majesty is accurate or not, you must respond as soon as possible."

These words are nothing more than a reminder that Liu Biao is already a state shepherd, and he is still asking the court for instructions. It can be seen that Liu Biao is still facing the court. If the court does not value him, and finally forces Liu Biao to feel resentful, then Jingzhou will completely break up with the court.

Say goodbye.

Although Liu Xuan did not agree with all of them, these words were also good suggestions. After all, Liu Xuan was not a fool, and he could tell the difference between good and bad words, so although he had not yet promised the post of Zhonglang General, he had already returned it.

Letters - The various departments of the imperial court were reorganized. The title of Zhonglang was either there or not. Huang Zhong deserved to be rewarded for his contribution to quelling the rebellion, but the specific title would not be decided until some time later.

It also stated that except for official titles, Liu Biao could decide on his own for other awards, which also showed the importance the court attached to Liu Biao.

As for Huang Zhong...

In fact, Liu Xuan wanted to find a reason to transfer Huang Zhong to the imperial court. Although Liu Xuan had many generals at the moment, there were not many who could act alone. Besides, it would be better to poach a powerful general like Huang Zhong earlier.

Better later.

Now Liu Biao's request for meritorious service is just in line with Liu Xuan's wishes, but the Forbidden Army is still reorganizing, and it seems that Huang Zhong will not be able to arrange it, so it can only be postponed for a while.

On the other hand, there was still no movement from Liu Bei's side, and Liu Xuan wanted to write a letter to urge him.

"Logically speaking, Liu Bei shouldn't refuse the call! Could it be that he has seen what I am thinking?"

In fact, at this time, under Luoyang City and in Gongsun Zan's camp, Liu Bei, his two brothers, and the only one under his command, Jian Yong, who could give him some advice, were all looking worried at the edicts and letters in their hands.

"I had previously fought against the national traitors with Bogui, so I never discussed this matter with my second brother, third brother, and Xianhe. At this time, the army surrounded Luoyang, but the offensive was gradually slowing down. I don't know when Luoyang will be captured, but this matter has not yet been discussed.

I can’t delay it any longer, so I’ll call you here so we can have a discussion.”

As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei couldn't wait to ask before he could continue to elaborate on the matter: "What happened? You are so cautious?"

Guan Yu glared at his third brother: "Listen to the elder brother!" Then he looked at Liu Bei with curiosity.

Liu Bei didn't hesitate and took out the edict, and then Lu Zhi's letter. He originally wanted to set off when the edict came, but at that time the siege of Luoyang was urgent and he couldn't get away for a while. In addition, Lu Zhi's letter also contained

He said that there was no need to rush the matter and that it would not be too late to wait until the war had slowed down a bit, so it was postponed until now.

In these days, since there was no major war, he always thought about this matter, feeling that this was a huge opportunity, but he couldn't figure out why it hit him on the head.

"Is it recommended by your mentor?"

Originally, this may not be high. Although Liu Bei has great ambitions, he is also quite self-aware. When he first studied with Lu Zhi, he knew very well how he behaved and how Lu Zhi viewed himself. Perhaps he was the only one who knew very well.

The good impression I left was the result of leading my countrymen to help in the Yellow Turban War.

This doesn't seem to be enough for Lu Zhi to recommend him as an official in the court, right? After all, becoming an official in the court is very different from holding a local position.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't have a clue, so I had some free time today so I talked about it in detail with people close to me. As soon as I finished talking, the room suddenly became very quiet.

Unfortunately, it only lasted for a few seconds before Zhang Fei shouted: "What's there to hesitate about? It's a great thing for the imperial court to recruit my eldest brother to serve in Beijing! Maybe we can even recognize our ancestors and return to our clan!"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu wanted to scold him, but then they thought: It is indeed a good thing. In any case, it will be of great benefit to Liu Bei to work in Beijing, especially the clan status. If he can really get it,

The court admitted that the benefits were countless. However, Liu Bei himself thought too much. He just felt that this matter was too sudden and a little weird, so he sat here without making a decision.

When Zhang Fei yelled at him, Liu Bei realized that it was useless to think so much. Even if there was something strange, he would have to wait until he entered the capital before talking about it.

But the only thing worth worrying about is, can you continue to command the troops and horses this time in Beijing? If you lose the soldiers and horses to rely on, what step can you take in the court?

Just as he was thinking about this, Guan Yu happened to ask: "Can you lead troops when you enter Beijing this time?"
