Later that day.

Diao Chan came out of the palace and returned to the lobby of Tongzhengsi. Liu Feixu immediately came up to report: "Empress, Liu Yuechen was waiting for the empress in the back hall according to the empress's order."

Diao Chan nodded and walked quickly towards the back hall.

In the palace, Liu Xian sat in the imperial study and looked through the various reports sent by the cabinet, while Zuo Ci sat aside to take Liu Xian's pulse. Zuo Ci returned to Luoyang not long ago, and thanks to him, Liu Xian was able to wake up.

After a moment, Zuo Ci smiled and clasped his fists and said, "God bless Your Majesty! Your Majesty recovers very quickly. I believe that it will be restored to the original state in time!"

Liu Xian smiled and said, "It's all thanks to you, the old god!"

Zuo Ci stroked the long beard and smiled: "As the saying goes, medicine will not kill you. If Your Majesty is not the true emperor who is destined to be the destiny of heaven, the old Taoist will not be able to save you even if you have medicine!"

Liu Xian laughed and said, "I just think that you are flattering me!"

Zuo Ci said with a serious expression: "What the old Taoist says is what the heart says!"

Liu Xian smiled and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that so many years have passed in a blink of an eye! The scene when I first met you, an old Taoist priest and Yanran, seemed to be like yesterday!"

Zuo Ci couldn't help but show a look of memories, glanced at Liu Xian, and said, "When I saw Your Majesty, I knew that Your Majesty was definitely not a thing in the pool!" After a pause, he said seriously: "Your Majesty has a great fortune on you, and Your Majesty is the one who came into being!"

Liu Xian smiled, but when he thought that he would be swept by several thunder and lightning, he might have come into being!

Thinking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

Thinking of the scene where Zhao Yanran took over the name of her younger brother Zhao Yun, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yanran pretended to be Zilong, but I was deceived by her!

I felt strange at that time, why did Zhao Zilong look so beautiful?! After a long time of trouble, this Zilong was not that Zilong, but Zilong's sister!"

Zuo Ci smiled and said, "Although Yanran is a daughter, few people can match her martial arts and heroism, which is even better than Zi Long!

When she was young, the old Taoist gave her a life. Her fate was indescribable, and it was the fate of the Fire Phoenix Lin Pavilion, which was second only to the queen.

However, the old Taoist felt strange at that time, thinking that Yanran would fall in love with the mediocre and incompetent men of the Han Dynasty?

Haha, I didn’t expect that God had his own arrangements! The great man artifact finally landed in the hands of the wise lord, and Yanran finally found her home!"

When he said this, Zuo Ci smiled with a caress on his beard and looked at Liu Xian's eyes, just like the eyes of an elder looking at the younger generation he liked.

Dian Wei came in from outside, clasped his fists to Liu Xian and said, "Zhuge Liang, Chen Gong and Cai Yong are asking for a meeting!"

Zuo Ci clasped his fists at Liu Xian and said, "Your Majesty is busy with official duties, so the old Taoist said goodbye."

Liu Xian nodded and said, "Yanran should be in the cabinet at this moment. Old Taoist priest, you can go and see her!" Zuo Ci smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Goodbye!" Then he left the study.

Liu Xian turned his head and said to Dian Wei: "Call them in."

Dian Wei responded and turned around. After a while, Zhuge Liang, Chen Gong and Cai Yong came in.

When the three of them saw Liu Xian, they immediately bowed and bowed and bowed: "I pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Liu Xian leaned on the chair and waved his hand, "No need to be polite."

The three of them stood up and Chen Gong presented a document and said, "Your Majesty, this is what Your Majesty ordered two years ago. Now it has finally been completed. Please check it out!"

Dian Wei immediately took over the official document and submitted it to Liu Xian.

Liu Xian opened the official document and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Fourty-two million?!" He raised his head and looked at the three of them, and asked: "Is it accurate?"

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said, "It's basically accurate. However, in the past two years, the population of various prefectures and counties has increased. In addition, the actual population of all ethnic barbarians who have been classified as Chinese nationality should have far exceeded 45 million!"

Liu Xian muttered: "I remember a 'Brick' said that the population was only about 20,000 at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It seems that the words of the 'Brick' are unbelievable."

When the three of them heard Liu Xian's words, they felt inexplicably and couldn't help but look at each other.

Liu Xian smiled and said to the three people: "You have done a good job. In just two years, we have basically figured out our family's background."

The three of them clasped their fists and said, "It is the duty of the empress to share your worries for your Majesty!"

Liu Xian smiled and thought, "This matter must be continued." He looked at Chen Gong, his eyes turned to Cai Yong, and said, "Old Master Cai will be responsible for this matter."

Cai Yong was overjoyed and said, "I will definitely live up to your great trust!"

Liu Xian nodded with a smile. His thoughts couldn't help but fly to the Roman Empire thousands of miles away. He glanced at the three of them and asked, "Do you all know what happened to the Roman Protectorate?"

The three of them clasped their fists and said, "I have read the briefing sent by the cabinet."

Liu Xian walked to the huge map hanging on the side of the study, his eyes fell on the Roman Empire in the west, and frowned: "This time we have suffered heavy losses! The losses of personnel are on one hand, and all the goods in Rome were actually lost!

It can be said that from the court to the people, all suffered heavy losses!”

The three of them looked at each other and Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "The Romans actually colluded with the barbarians. This incident was really beyond expectations, so this battle in Rome can be said to be an unexpected thing..."

Liu Xian laughed and said, "You don't have to cover up the public station for me! In fact, many people, including you, have many persuasion voices, thinking that the garrison of Rome was too hasty, and it may cause unpredictable consequences.

I didn't listen! I insisted on garrisoning in Rome, which caused such a great loss! It seems that I was blinded by the previous victory!"

The three of them didn't know what to say, and everyone sighed in their hearts, and they just felt that there was no other person who could talk about their wrong people in such a blunt way!

Liu Xian glanced at the three of them and asked, "Do you think the situation in Rome will develop in the next situation, and what should we do?"

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that since the war between the barbarians and the Romans begins again, it will be impossible to end in a short period of time. Let us simply sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and let the barbarians completely turn the Roman Empire upside down!"

Liu Xian nodded thinking.

At this time, Dian Wei came in and clasped his fists at Liu Xian and said, "Brother, Sister Xiahou is here, and he said he has something important to see."

Liu Xian smiled and said, "What are the things that couples do with so many politeness? Wouldn't she just come in directly?"

Dian Wei clasped his fists and said, "Sister-in-law said that the elder brother is discussing matters with you, and she is inconvenient to disturb her, so she is waiting outside first."

Liu Xian said angrily: "She is the concubine of the empire. There is nothing wrong with listening to national affairs. Please ask her to come in."
