Gongsun Mingzhu joined Liu Bei's back house, and Cai Yan's bearing as a lady was very good.

As the head wife, the eldest son and the eldest daughter, her status is unshakable.

As a concubine, Diao Chan, despite her unparalleled beauty, has never been able to conceive. This is a shortcoming of traditional culture, so she is a little emotionally extreme.

Xianglan was bought by Cai Yan as his maidservant, and her status cannot be compared with that of a concubine.

But luckily, she and Mi Ying got pregnant at almost the same time. If they can have a child, they are expected to be promoted to concubines.

When Liu Bei was playing with his children, his mother asked him a question, which made him feel that he had taken it for granted.

"I'm not blaming you, mom, but with so many people far away from Dongdu, how long can you take care of them?"

Liu Bei understood this, and it meant that it was difficult to move from extravagance to frugality.

Liu Chan, for example, clearly dislikes Wuji as being less prosperous and convenient than Dongdu, let alone other family members.

Another meaning is that three or four hundred people were suddenly transferred, and people were panicked. If they didn't give a clear explanation, they were afraid that their good intentions would lead to bad things.

Liu Bei guessed that some people were dissatisfied with the treatment of the environment and said some unpleasant words, which reached my mother's ears.

In fact, Dong Zhuo has a strong military force. With more than a thousand new troops, he is more than enough to protect himself, but not enough to attack.

Of course, Guan Yu's army entered Jizhou and reached the north bank of the Yellow River. The two cooperated with each other, and it was not a big problem to capture Dong Zhuo.

But there is currently no opportunity. It would be great if someone could stimulate Dong Zhuo and make a big splash.

At night, Liu Yifei and Liu Chan were settled. After Liu Bei took a bath, he and Cai Yan fell asleep together.

Seeing that her husband was not in a good mood, Cai Yan asked, "What is your husband worried about?"

Liu Bei didn't hide anything, so he told me about my mother's problem.

Cai Yan immediately judged that this was Lu Yu's mother, Lu Zhi's concubine, complaining to her mother in the name of Lu Yu.

Liu Bei twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to say anything.

After all, the other party gave birth to a son for his mentor, so he is considered his master’s wife.

Leaning her head on her husband's arm, Cai Yan asked, "Are you waiting for the right time?"

This is the first time she has asked her husband about national affairs.

Liu Bei hesitated for a while and then said: "It's so cold at high places!"

Cai Yan smiled and said, "My husband is also afraid sometimes?"

"Well, I'm afraid that once I take that step, many people will become strangers or even turn against me, and more people will die because of me."

"You mean Liu Neng?"

Liu Bei hesitated again. Liu Neng's problems and influence cannot be eliminated by introspection behind closed doors.

"Hey, I really don't understand, what's the benefit of being an emperor?"

"Tsk!" Cai Yan couldn't help laughing and asked: "My husband has never been an emperor, how could he know that it's not good?"

"Learning from the past can help us understand the ups and downs, and using people as a guide to understand our gains and losses. Um, or should I say, Madam, you want to be the queen?"

"I have never thought about it this way, but given my husband's position, there will probably be more and more people like Liu Neng, right?"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Not only that, even the Queen Mother was testing me last time."

Cai Yan was very curious and asked: "Then why do you still want to protect her?"

"Rules!" Liu Bei said: "I want to set rules for the big man. I can't say whoever has the bigger fist is the boss and can do whatever he wants."

Cai Yan asked in confusion: "Do you want to rule the world?"

"Yes! It is announced that the constitution of the Han Dynasty is being drafted. As long as these 'rules' are released, the entire world can be changed, and everyone can live like a human being."

"I hope it will be as my husband wishes."

In Shangjun, Liu Bei's courtyard, Liu Neng, who was shutting himself up and thinking about his past, met Lan Dong.

The other party brought eight Japanese Japanese girls who had completed special training.

Although he was removed from the position of commander of the Jinyiwei, Lan Dong was still polite and asked in a respectful tone: "How is the commander doing recently?"

"Come on, I'm being fucked. If you fart, hurry up!"

After being choked, Lan Dong was not angry and still said with a smile: "I have brought the eight Japanese women you asked for. Also, the area around the arsenal seems not to be very clean recently."

Liu Neng had already expected it and said: "They are from the Hearing Department, right? They are eyeing firearms, have they checked it out?"

Lan Dong shook his head and said: "I have limited manpower. I can't do much besides tightening the fence, so I'm here to ask you what you have in mind?"

Liu Neng squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said: "This kind of thing cannot be banned, but in addition to internal review, it is still necessary to attack the enemy externally. Scan a wave first to see what the other party's reaction is."

The arsenal has now become a huge industry, with hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of employees. It is almost impossible to monitor each one one by one.

Moreover, as the demand for money, bronze cannon casting, steel smelting, and firearms and ammunition manufacturing increases, it is difficult to keep the formula secret.

After receiving Liu Neng's instructions, Lan Dong decided to give it a try first. In short, he couldn't let the people in the Fengwen Division have a hard time.

The two of them chatted while eating and drinking. Naturally, they talked about government affairs and Liu Bei.

"Master, why don't you want to go further?"

Liu Neng believed that Liu Bei was too idealistic. Just look at Dong Zhuo and you will know that people fear power rather than virtue.

But, now that I think about it, it was indeed a bit reckless to wipe out three households.

"No one can understand my lord's thoughts. We can only test it step by step. It's easy to say whatever we do right, but we have to admit it ourselves if we do wrong."

"General Manager, do you think it's possible that my lord really doesn't want to be the emperor?"

Liu Neng glanced at Lan Dong and then again.

"How to say?"

"I don't know..."

Seeing that Liu Neng was about to get angry, Lan Dong explained: "I really can't say, but I think the lord is essentially a good person, but can a good person be a good emperor?"

"Good guy?"

Liu Neng repeated it subconsciously and then fell into deep thought.

If the lord really does not want to be the emperor, this matter will be troublesome, and many preparations and practices will have to be terminated and significantly adjusted.

However, Liu Neng soon believed that even if Liu Bei did not become emperor, he would definitely be a top official, equivalent to an uncrowned king.

Whether you are an emperor or a powerful minister, it is essential to eliminate opposition.

Jin Yiwei is now all over the Han Dynasty. With just one order, the entire Han Dynasty will be turned upside down.

"My lord, be a good guy, and we should be bad guys. We don't care about the emperor or not, but try to dig out the people from the Hearing Department. Well, if you say there is a shortage of manpower, just use the special training soldiers in the training camp to train them and train them in actual combat.

”

Lan Dong's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea. Sun Xia also suggested that training special forces members who are familiar with the city might be of great use in the future.

Now, Liu Neng wakes up the man in his dream with one word, and the city's special training to deal with enemy spies should be released as soon as possible.

Lan Dong ran away happily. Liu Neng looked at the eight Japanese women who had been hacked for several times, and finally asked: "You all know who you are, right?"

"This slave is a member of Jinyiwei in life, and a ghost of Jinyiwei in death!"

Liu Neng asked coldly: "Wrong, from today on, you will never see the light of day. You are all dead. Apart from the Fire Phoenix mission, you have no value."

The eight girls immediately repeated: "We are already dead, and our value is to complete the Fire Phoenix mission!"

Liu Neng summoned the Japanese girls one by one and gave them verbal tasks.

Until the last person, Liu Neng finished explaining and waved his hand to take all eight women away.
Chapter completed!
