Volume 2: The Kingdom of the Han Dynasty]

----------

After sending the skills to Cai Yong, Liu Xuan could clearly feel that Cai Yan's mood had become much better during the following period, and he even relaxed a lot about private matters.

To be honest, if Liu Xuan was dissatisfied with Cai Yan in the past, it was that she was not very open-minded about these things.

Xu Shi received a strict family education since she was a child. She seemed very reserved and even shy when it came to those matters, and her silence made Liu Xuan depressed.

Especially as time goes by, Cai Yan's age is getting older. Cai Yan, who is already twenty years old this year, is the best age in Liu Xuan's eyes. Not only does he have a curvy figure, but his face has also completely grown.

She has been a woman for a long time, and her pretty face hides a somewhat mature charm.

It's a pity that such a good woman is too boring. After being happy these past few days, she has let go of many things, leaving Liu Xuanle in a mess. She was tired of being together for several days in a row, savoring it, and took her whole life with her.

People are a little more energetic.

Even the ministers in the court could see that the emperor was in a good mood these days. They asked some familiar eunuchs in private, and then they found out that the emperor and the queen were spending the whole day together, and they didn't know if they were the queen.

Learned something new to make the emperor happy.

After hearing this, everyone did not dare to ask any more questions. It was nothing to speculate on this matter in their own heads. It would be a big sin if someone heard it. Everyone just thought that the emperor had stayed away for a long time and was a little obsessed with the queen after he came back.

In the gentle countryside, this is not a big deal. After all, the emperor is still a young man. Many people think it would be better if he could give birth to a few children while there is nothing important.

In this case, no one noticed that Cai Yong came to the palace more frequently these days and that the queen went home from time to time to see her father and other trivial matters - plus this matter was inconspicuous, of course they would not

I care.

As for whether the emperor will be too indulged in the gentle countryside? No one in the civil and military circles of the court is worried about this, because the emperor is a very diligent king, and the court meeting will never be missed when there is nothing important.

When important matters arise, they will not procrastinate and will immediately discuss with important ministers how to resolve them.

It is under the governance of today's emperor that the several states controlled by the imperial court are now prosperous. Many civil servants who were deceived by today's emperor have gradually changed their views (not the military commanders, because the military commanders are all Liu Xuan's).

direct line).

After all, it has been more than five years since the emperor ascended the throne. If you include the year he ascended the throne, it will be six years. After the New Year, it will be the seventh year. In the past few years, almost every year has made great strides forward.

Looking at it this way, the world will be able to regain peace in less than ten years, and return to what it was like in its heyday within twenty years.

If it can be passed on for more than a hundred years, then today's emperor will be a wise king comparable to Gaozu and Emperor Wu.

It is this point that makes it possible that although there are some factions in the imperial court, everyone still strives to govern the world well and does not hinder Liu Xuan.

However, the former Zuo Zhonglang resigned Liu Fan and left, which made Liu Xuan understand that not everyone in the world was leaning towards him. This guy was Liu Yan's son, and he only stayed in the court to act as an internal agent for Liu Yan.

That's all. Since Tianshi Dao rebelled and Shu was in trouble, Liu Fan realized that his father was facing a crisis. After several attempts to encourage the princes in the court to send troops to quell the rebellion, he realized what was going on and left Chang'an. As for

Whether he is going to find his father or has other thoughts, no one knows.

Of course Liu Xuan wouldn't think there was anything wrong. Liu Fan's voluntary departure solved a problem for him: he no longer had the headache of how to arrange this guy.

As for now, because Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places have just been pacified, the court's main energy is focused on those places, and the Shu region really doesn't have much energy to pay attention to it now.

In addition, Man Chong and others had also set off for Yuzhou and Xuzhou. Before departure, they all came to Chang'an and had private talks with the emperor.

These people basically have the emperor's personal instructions. They know what the emperor and the court require, and they also know what matters need to be dealt with first.

In addition to Man Chong and Cheng Yu, Yang Qi, the former prefect Feng Yi who performed well, also received the cultivation method from Liu Xuan this time. If you understand, you can ask Cheng Yu nearby and he will answer.

In addition, Liu Xuan also sent Sun Shao to Yang Qi, asking him to help examine Sun Shao's ability. A similar situation occurred with Sun Qian, who was sent to work under Man Chong's account.

After these arrangements were made, Liu Xuan turned his attention back from those places. As for the issue of garrison, he had already decided on it. Cao Cao had already arranged those things, so he didn't need to worry about it.

So he had extra energy to bring out the information from a while ago.

"Hebei Zhen Family."

He didn't know much about the Zhen family. His only impression was that the Zhen family produced a famous beauty during the Three Kingdoms period: Zhen Mi, also known as Zhen Luo or Zhen Ji, was the youngest daughter of the Zhen family.

He has been smart and extraordinary since he was a child. He knew how to read at the age of nine - a boy is not that old. It is not easy for girls to take the initiative to study in this era. Cai Yan was influenced by the environment because his father was a great scholar in the world. More importantly, she is the only daughter in the family.

But Zhen Mi is the youngest child in the family. She has many brothers and sisters. She is not afraid of having no one to take her or keep her company, especially if her sister is with her. Generally speaking, she prefers female celebrities and the like. As a result, she It is extraordinary to study at such a young age and to do so well.

Of course, this is nothing. According to the information in Liu Xuan's hands, the Zhen family helped the victims when most families were collecting property precisely because of this little girl's suggestion.

"He is talented, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable, not to mention extremely beautiful. No wonder he was called the Goddess of Luo after he was so good!"

Just when he was thinking about whether to 'cut off' his beard in advance, Diao Chan walked in, holding the freshly cooked chicken soup - since Liu Xuan came up with a lot of seasonings and vegetables that were not available in this era, the palace The food here became more and more particular. Diao Chan and Cai Yan took advantage of the time when Liu Xuan went out to fight and studied the 'recipe' he left for a while. Naturally, the chicken soup was also recorded in it, and even It was also highlighted with a circle.

How could the two women who had known each other for a long time not know what Liu Xuan meant? They just wanted to learn it by themselves so that they could cook it for him when they came back.

Not only were the two women not disgusted by this, but they were happy about it, so they would take turns making some food that Liu Xuan had 'circulated' with their own hands and send it to him.

Today happened to be Diao Chan's turn, and Liu Xuan stayed up late today, so he cooked chicken soup and sent it over.

"You've been busy for so long, let's take a rest first!"

Diao Chan put down the chicken soup, then sat down next to Liu Xuan and leaned against him, while Liu Xuan opened his hand and made a direct connection. Neither of them spoke or even made eye contact, but they cooperated exactly. It can be seen that they have gradually developed a relationship.

A tacit understanding.

"Huh?"

As soon as she sat down, Diao Chan saw the piece of information in front of her: a detailed introduction to the youngest daughter of the Zhen family in Hebei.

If it were someone else, Diao Chan would probably take a glance at it and ignore it. She didn't understand those military and state affairs. After all, she wasn't that good in terms of background and experience, so Liu Xuan never discussed those things with Diao Chan.

Talk about romance and the like.

However, the one in front of her was a detailed introduction of a girl. Diao Chan didn't even need to think about it, she directly guessed Liu Xuan's thoughts: "Does Your Majesty like this sister?"

Liu Xuan was drinking soup. He was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled slightly awkwardly... But then he came back to his senses. Now that he is the emperor, what's wrong with accepting a few more girls? Besides, Diao Chan didn't sound jealous in her words.

I'm just asking myself.

"What do Chan'er think of this girl?"

He picked up the piece of paper, hugged Diao Chan from behind, and then the two of them looked at it together to help him advise whether this woman was suitable for entering the palace?

After thinking about it, even if he is the emperor, he is probably the only one who can ask his concubines to help him make suggestions and discuss whether another woman is suitable for entering the palace.

After reading it carefully, Diao Chan admired this woman named Zhen Mi, and was even curious about what kind of person this sister who was several years younger than herself was.

"It's very good, and if you read poetry and books, you will have something to talk with Sister Cai!"

Liu Xuan was stunned, and then he remembered that in this era, women who were well-read in poetry and books, and extremely talented and learned were generally lonely and had almost no friends, because they rarely met women similar to themselves. Although Cai Yan was changed by him

It was a tragic fate, but without a friend to talk to, it would always be a bit boring. In addition, Liu Xuan himself was not a scribe, and he only had a rough understanding of many books, but he couldn't explain it in detail.

Thinking about it this way, even if Zhen Mi is not accepted as a concubine, it is still a good thing to recruit her to the capital to relieve Cai Yan's boredom!

"In that case, let's recruit him to Chang'an first!"

"Okay, this way I can have more sisters!" Diao Chan doesn't care how many women Liu Xuan has, she will be mentally prepared for the day she enters the palace.

But what she didn't expect was that Liu Xuan was not prepared to accept Zhen Mi as a concubine directly for no other reason - she was too young!

After this year, Zhen Mi was only thirteen years old. This was still according to the custom of counting false years in this era, but this did not prevent him from calling Zhen Mi to the capital.

After taking a look at a paragraph in the information that was regarded as a funny story: "Is it wrong to use books to learn, and to be a female doctor?" Liu Xuan suddenly felt that this was a very good idea.

That's the good thing about being an emperor... Even if it's a joke, I can make it true.

The next day, Liu Xuan issued an order. Hearing that there was a daughter from the Zhen family in Hebei who was fond of studying and had extraordinary talents, he was to send her to Beijing to study at Imperial College!

As soon as the edict came out, Kong Rong cursed loudly in the hall: Ridiculous!
