Sitting in the Hall of Houde, holding his newly born son, Liu Xi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He really loved this son. Starting from his grandfather, the emperor got married early, and they were all first-born eldest sons. When he came here
, it is really not easy to hold my son at this age. The little guy has grown up a lot compared to when he was just born. Newly born children are like this, they grow very fast.
The queen was still on the bed, and Liu Xi didn't want the maids to take care of the little guy. Miraculously, even at night, the little guy didn't cry or fuss, lying in his father's arms, comfortable and leisurely, in the palace
There are many rumors from the slaves that His Highness has supernatural powers. Liu Xi does not understand these rumors, but compared to Princess Du Yang, this guy is indeed very well-behaved and rarely cries. He only drinks more breast milk... But these are all small problems.
At night, Liu Xi had to deal with the documents submitted by Liu Bei anyway, so he had to stay up late, so he asked the palace maids to stay outside the door. He put the little guy in his arms and started busy with his own affairs.
There were soft cushions on both knees, and the little one would cry occasionally. Liu Xi would just coax him a few words, and the little one would calm down. Liu Xi was busy like this. After a long time, most of the things in his hands were completed.
Already.
Liu Xi then held the little guy in his arms and looked at him seriously. The more he looked at him, the more he fell in love with him.
"My son, what should I name you?"
"Oh, your ancestors have taken all the good names, and you still have to avoid taboos. It really gives me a headache. How about just calling me Rui?"
Liu Xi talked to himself and pondered for a long time, but he didn't dare to make a decision.
"Let's give it a nickname. My nickname is Mastiff. With your physique, of course I'll call you Tiger!"
"Ahu!" Liu Xi called out. The little guy squirmed but didn't respond. His eyes were blurred and he looked a little tired. Liu Xi hugged him, swayed gently, and whispered: "Hu."
Son, don't sleep. I want to take you to see this palace. From now on, you will be the third master of your palace!" Liu Xi hugged the little guy carefully and stood up.
The little guy was wrapped tightly. When Liu Xi walked out of Houde Hall, several palace maids were chatting outside the door. When they saw the emperor walking out, they all became quiet and lowered their heads. Liu Xi looked at them and smiled,
Said: "It's a blessing for you all. Let's go back and rest. I'm going to take Hu'er for a walk. If he doesn't stop crying, I'll come find you again!" The maids nodded and slowly left here.
.
Qi Yue stood in the distance, reprimanding several Xiaohuangmen. When he saw the emperor approaching, he hurriedly came over, stood on tiptoes, and looked at His Highness. Liu Xi waved his hand and said, "I'm taking Xiaohuang with me."
Go take a look around, you just wait here!" Qi Yue nodded, Liu Xi hugged the little guy and left here.
There is a clear bright moon hanging in the night sky. In the garden in the distance, there are no frogs croaking. In this season, there are probably no frogs. This makes the surroundings seem extra quiet, extra quiet, quiet.
It was as if Liu Xi was isolated from the world. Apart from the child in his hands, there was nothing else in the world. Liu Xi was walking in the corridor, and the distance was blurry. Liu Xi could not even feel his own breathing.
Only the heart was still beating, and only the little guy in his arms was still twisting.
As if he had entered another world, Liu Xi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Qiongyuan.
In the distance, there seemed to be two figures standing in the same posture, holding the same heavy child in their hands.
The earliest figure kept walking forward, but his whole body was bent. He looked like he was scarred and tortured. There was a dagger stuck in his chest. He tried his best to spread his hands to protect the little guy in his arms.
"My son, since I came to the throne, I have never dared to relax for a day and worked extremely hard. Some days, I even thought, if I had not gone to the river to catch that big fish, would I have lost my job?
It's so tiring...", he whispered.
Behind him is the second figure. He is shrouded in the shadow of the first figure and cannot be seen at all. Behind him, there are countless iron chains wrapped around him, which seem to be tied up with countless heavy objects.
Dragging these chains, I walked step by step under the shadows, my head lowered, feeling dejected.
"My son Mastiff, since I was born, I have been full of worries and at a loss. Father, you, Yaye, are a saintly emperor comparable to filial piety, civility, filial piety and martial arts. Ever since I was born, you, Yaye, have placed high hopes on you.
But no matter how hard I try, I can't get his approval..."
Liu Xi could only look forward. He couldn't see himself or what he looked like. He picked up the child in his arms, stared into his eyes, and said: "My son Hu, I
Since I was born, I have experienced all kinds of ups and downs. Youyeye and your eldest mother often quarrel. Seeing them quarreling makes me really scared. Youyeye is very strict with me. I have never seen him look gentle.
I can only hide everything, I don’t dare to reveal my ambitions, I don’t dare to reveal my talents, I even have to count my laughter and tears..."
"Now, the situation in the world has improved. I reluctantly killed my uncle, lost my love and loved my mother. No one in the world can be my confidant, but you. You are my eldest son, and in the future, you will also be the emperor of this man.
The great Han Dynasty must not be lost in the hands of you and my father and son!!!"
"Nowadays, the world is at peace and in a time of great governance. However, I know that I am far inferior to my father in terms of governing politics and understanding people, or expeditions to all directions. However, I will definitely not let down my father's high expectations. He has laid the foundation for a prosperous age.
, this prosperous age will continue in the hands of you and my father and son, you will be better than me!! I must not let you down!"
"Today, it is an unprecedented prosperous age. The country is strong, the people are wealthy, the soldiers are strong, the ministers are capable, the treasury is sufficient, there are no strong enemies outside, and there are no worries inside. I will make the prosperous age left by my father and ancestors even better.
Brilliant, I want the world to surrender. No matter Guishan, Qin, or any place I know, the flag of the Han Dynasty will be planted, and the people who chant my name will live a prosperous and happy life! Sooner or later, this prosperous age will be in your hands.
, I will do everything for you, but you must keep this glory!!!
At that moment, the two of them turned around, and the eyes of the grandfather and grandson seemed to be focused together.
Liu Xi sighed. At that moment, all the scenes disappeared. The little guy was in his arms, sleeping soundly. In the distance, Qi Yue led a group of yellow men, standing motionless. Everything just now
, as if in a dream, Liu Xi smiled bitterly, hugged the child, and left the corridor step by step.
........
The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Su Wei was about to step forward to drive him away, but Liu Bei hurriedly got out of the carriage. Su Wei was stunned and quickly stopped. It was so dangerous, but it was wrong. Liu Sikong Isn't his car like this? What's going on? Su Wei met with Sikong, and one of them asked: "Sikong, you changed the car..." Before he could finish speaking, Liu Bei hurriedly left him. went.
The guards were a little confused. Sikong is not like this on weekdays, right?
Isn't it Cao Situ who is in such a hurry? Where is the Sikong who usually takes his time and stops to chat with us for a long time?
Liu Bei quickly walked into the palace, and Huangmen led him to the Hall of Houde.
Walking into the Hall of Houde, the emperor was reviewing memorials. He raised his head, and Liu Bei quickly bowed to see him. He just sat next to the emperor, took out a list of names from his sleeves, and put it on the slip. Liu Bei frowned. He said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have prepared the list. This is the thirteenth change. This change was made after negotiation between the three ministers and nine ministers. It is not the opinion of my family. Your Majesty, take a look. stop..."
Liu Xi nodded and took the list from his hand. This list is naturally the list of county officials from various places. If Liu Bei wants to develop a place, he will naturally need those capable ministers who govern the country. Therefore, governors everywhere need Seriously consider it, not to mention that Liu Xi intends to abolish the governor and establish state pastors within ten years. These state pastors will not control the military, but they can mobilize the governors from various places and implement policies.
This policy was implemented by Emperor Xiaokang. However, he only implemented it in Liangzhou, Yangzhou and other areas, and did not promote it to the whole country. Liu Xi dared to do this, mainly because the world was peaceful and local county soldiers were abolished. , the common people yearned for the Han, but even if Zhou Mu had evil intentions, how could he implement it? However, after ten years, this policy must be cancelled, and Liu Xi did not want to leave any hidden dangers to future generations.
Liu Xi picked up the list and read it carefully.
"Sili Colonel Zhuge Jin."
"Liangzhou Mu Maojie."
"Xizhou Mu Chen Deng."
"Bingzhou Mu Chengli."
"Youzhou Mu Liu Ye."
"Ningzhou Mu Zhang Zhao."
"Jingzhou Mu Zhongyao."
"Yizhou Makitataka."
"Yangzhou Mu Jushu,"
"Zhuge Liang, the herdsman of Yuzhou."
"Yanzhou Mu Sima Yi."
"Xuzhou Mu Lusu."
"Jizhou Mu Jiang Ji."
"Jiaozhou Mu Gu Yong."
"Xinzhou Mu Caoren."
"Hezhou Mu Lu Yu."
"Qingzhou Mu Guoyuan."
Liu Xi looked at it carefully for a moment and then said: "Let Jiang Ji and Guoyuan change..."
Liu Bei was stunned and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Well, not bad, good, very good. With these great talents in the local area, within ten years, hahaha, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty will be just around the corner. That's great!" Liu Xi said with a smile, hearing Liu Xi's smile After hearing this, Liu Bei felt much more at ease. In order to come up with this list, God knows how much energy he expended. The ministers in the court all had different opinions on this list. It took Liu Bei more than a month to convince the others. .
Fortunately, Cao Cao and Sun Jian didn't say anything about this promotion. Otherwise, Liu Bei really didn't know if he would be able to come up with this list.
Liu Bei discussed with the emperor for a long time. After two ministers, he just walked out of the palace. At this time, he was obviously much calmer. When he walked out of the palace, he apologized to Su Wei and said: "There was something urgent just now. Therefore, I cannot stay, and I hope you will forgive me!" How could Su Wei dare to accept the courtesy of the three princes? He quickly said that he did not dare. Liu Bei looked out the door for a long time and then asked: "Where is my car?"
Su Wei pointed to the carriage in the distance and asked, "Isn't that so?"
"That's not it!"
"But Sikong just came in that car..."
Liu Bei was shocked and hurriedly walked to the carriage. A groom was sitting on the carriage. When he saw Liu Bei coming, he shivered and hurriedly paid his respects.
"Who are you?"
"I am the groom of Captain Sili..."
"Then why are you here?"
"Just now, my master and Sikong were discussing important matters in Sikong's mansion. Later, Sikong, you came out, got in my car, and asked me to go to the palace quickly... The common people dare not disobey..." the groom said fearfully. Now, just before a few ministers, Liu Bei jumped on the carriage and asked him to go to the palace directly. As a groom, how could he dare to refuse? This was the Third Duke. He didn't dare to say anything and rushed here with his head lowered. , I didn’t dare to leave, I could only wait bitterly.
Liu Bei was a little angry and helpless. After a while, he said: "My fault, my fault... you take the money..."
"Sikong...no need...no need."
"Take it!!"
"Go back to pick up your master now. If he asks, just say that I was attracted by your driving skills, so I ordered you to take me to the palace. In this way, he will not blame you or embarrass you. If If he gives you a hard time, just come to my mansion and I will give you an errand."
"Thank you, thank you Sikong!"
At the same time, Wei Ting.
Man Chong was working in the study, and suddenly someone rushed in!
"Mr. Man!! I want to report to the official!! I want to report to the official!!"
"I was just discussing important matters in Sikong Mansion. When I came out, I saw that my car was gone!!"
"It's been two hours, and there are no people or cars. Are the thieves in Luoyang so bold?!? In front of the Sikong Mansion! They stole Captain Sili's carriage and horses!! They even kidnapped me. A groom!!"
