Empress Lu was holding the little guy, and a group of palace maids were surrounding her. Hu'er was telling her new stories in these days. Liu Xi walked in with a smile. When he saw his father, the little guy suddenly changed from his mother. Liu Xi jumped out of his arms, shouted, ran over, and jumped into his father's arms. Liu Xi hugged the little guy, pecked him hard on the face a few times, walked to the queen's side, and sat down too. Come down.
"Hahaha, my little tiger, good, he's getting stronger again!" Liu Xi said, hugging the child tightly, but refused to let go. The queen on the side rolled her eyes at him and said: "It's obviously dark. A lot of them are exposed outside all day long. Can't the teacher you found for him teach him in the study? If he has to take him out, can you see how dark the children are?"
Liu Xi looked at it, hey, don't tell me, he is really a little darker. Liu Xi looked at the aggrieved little tiger and said with a smile: "What do you know? We men, what if we are a little darker? What's more?" Not getting married! Do you think so?" Hu'er nodded and said, "That's right!"
"Haha, you two, father and son, have become a team now? Hu'er, what did you just say?"
"Didn't you say that the one you love most is your mother?"
The Queen frowned and asked. The little Hu'er grinned and called out "Amu" sweetly. Empress Lu turned her head away and ignored him. The little Hu'er broke away from her father and returned to her mother's arms again, rubbing her mother's arms. Looking at his mother's face, the queen smiled, picked him up, glanced at Liu Xi proudly, and said, "Did you see this? This is my child, or he loves me more!"
Liu Xi deliberately looked angry and stared at the mother and son fiercely.
For a time, the whole family was happy and laughing.
"Hu'er, tell me, how is Mr. Cui? Is he treating you well?"
"Very good. Master taught me a lot. He also took me to the Military Academy. I met a Taishi General in the Military Academy, but he was not a descendant of Taishi Gong. He was a very good person and taught me archery. However, Yeye was a little angry and said that he would teach himself, and the two of them almost fought. The brothers in Taixue are also very good, and they all love me..."
Hu'er said seriously, and the emperor and queen listened carefully.
When she heard that he was going to the military academy, the queen looked a little worried and looked at Liu Xi. Liu Xi shook his head at her. He had known about this for a long time. Hu'er was his darling. The embroidered messenger beside him was There are more than two hundred people, whether in Taixue, on the road he must pass, or in the military science, there are envoys in embroidered clothes protecting him, and nothing will happen to him.
"Who do you usually play with in the palace?" the queen asked again.
"There are many people playing with me on the street. There are Zhang Yeye's little daughter, Wang Yeye's granddaughter, and Ma Yeye's daughter..." Hu'er stretched out his fingers and counted them seriously. Standing up, Liu Xi laughed and asked: "Why are we all daughters? You boy, you are really the same as me back then..." Liu Xi suddenly stopped.
Queen Lu smiled gently and asked: "Your Majesty, continue talking, what was your Majesty like back then?"
"This kid is nothing like me. When I was young, I couldn't even get out of the palace gate. I could only study and do other things all day long. Ahem, Hu'er, you also have to study hard. Think about it. You can't put everything on having fun!" Liu Xi frowned and lectured solemnly, Hu'er said with a smile: "Don't worry, Father, I have learned a lot."
Liu Xi nodded without saying anything, but Empress Lu asked enthusiastically: "Among those people, which one does Hu'er like the most?"
"I like Wang Yeye's granddaughter. Her name is Wang Yuanji. She is six years old this year, two years older than me. But she is very good and she even brings me food. There were some big boys who bullied her before and wanted to rob her. I gave her some food and was beaten by me, and then she started clinging to me. Although I liked her very much, she was by my side all day long and I needed to be alone. There was really no other way... .”
"Haha, how about marrying her to you? What do you think?" Queen Lu asked with a smile.
Hu'er thought for a moment and then said: "It's better not to give up. She can't even hold a sword. Why should I marry her?"
Liu Xi couldn't bear it any longer, covered his face, laughed, and burst into tears.
Empress Lu pinched Liu Xi's arm hard, and Liu Xi laughed even louder.
Until the palace maid took Hu'er to sleep, Queen Lu looked at the emperor who was about to rest and said, "Does your majesty know who Wang Yuanji is?" Liu Xi was about to go to bed to rest. When he heard the queen's inquiry, he started He yawned and said lazily: "Isn't he Hu'er's playmate? Why do you ask this? They are just children. What do they know..."
"Of course they don't understand, but it is inevitable that there is someone behind this girl. If someone wants to get into Hu'er and deliberately lets her daughter get close to Hu'er, what should I do? Your Majesty had better check it out."
The queen was about to continue, but she saw that Liu Xi was already lying on the bed. The queen angrily pulled Liu Xi up. Liu Xi looked at Empress Lu helplessly, "Why are you so worried? Don't worry. I know all the houses around the abbot, so don’t worry, just rest!”
"Then tell me, who is she? At least she must be a good match!"
“A good match??”
"Oh my God, how old is Hu'er?!"
Liu Xi rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "The area where my father-in-law lives is full of dignitaries. If the surname is Wang, she is probably Wang Lang's granddaughter..."
"Wang Lang? Which Wang Lang?"
"Guan Xue Pu She..."
"Then what's the reputation of their family? Are there any evil people?"
“It’s all good.”
"Then they..." The queen was about to ask again, but Liu Xi interrupted her directly, "Okay, okay, I will send Xiuyi to investigate tomorrow, okay? Go to sleep!"
Soon, Lu Bu sent someone to the palace, wanting to take Hu'er back. Liu Xi was very helpless about this. He was obviously his own child, but he couldn't always stay by his side. However, he really She is too busy and does not have time to accompany Hu'er. The queen is free, but she cannot let her child grow up in the palace. Anyway, he is the grandfather after all, so it is better to stay there.
Hu'er left the palace again.
Seeing Hu'er happily saying goodbye to him, Liu Xi felt a little heavy in his heart for some reason. He had never experienced such happiness as Hu'er in his life. If he said that he still had feelings for his father before, Blame it, on this day, seeing Hu'er's happy face, he suddenly felt relieved and looked at the countless memorials on his case.
Perhaps my father is also so busy.
He had a less than happy childhood, but he couldn't change it. All he could do was to make his children live a happier life, and live a happy boyhood instead of himself.
After sending Hu'er away, Liu Xi began to get busy. It was mainly Xun Yu's suggestion that made him discover the shortcomings hidden deep inside. He must change these shortcomings, but it is not easy to do this.
, First of all, there is the problem of today's replacement of soldiers. If a group of people are to be replaced, of course these soldiers have to go home. These people are only serving on schedule.
If the guards are turned into officials, it will be a fixed job. Arrangements must be made for the replacement of these guards. In addition, it is necessary to properly arrange the low-level officials who will be dismissed, select talents, improve the official system of various places, etc.
Many things require the emperor to think about them personally. A minister is different from a king. A minister only needs to stand from the perspective of a big man and make a series of changes that are beneficial to the big man. But the emperor needs to think about more.
After receiving the emperor's permission, Xun Yu was free to do it without any need to hide it. In his heart, the best candidate to serve as the servant of the Gengsufu was Wei Yan, the captain of the Southern Army.
He was an incredible person. During the Battle of Guishuang, it was this person who shot and killed the then King of Kuishang and made him a captain. After getting along with everyone in the Southern Army, Xun Yu discovered that the person in front of him was bold.
Careful and at the same time, he also has a utilitarian heart.
The generals of the Southern Army looked down upon the location of the Gengsu Mansion. We were going to beat up Guishang, how could we be in charge of public security in the temple? Only Wei Yan was very different from Xun Yu.
He wants to get this position. At the same time, he also has many ideas that supplement Xun Yu's plan. It can be imagined that this person is well prepared.
In addition to this, there is also the selection of more soldiers, and this requires the help of Cui Yan of Taixue and Taishi Ci of military science.
Xun Yu first visited Cui Yan, and things went very smoothly. Cui Yan seemed very serious in front of state affairs, and there was no obstacle because of their private relationship. The relationship between Cui Yan and Xun Yu was not good.
Xun Yu has always been dissatisfied with the fact that this person served as the chief priest of Taixue. During the restructuring, he directly dismissed Cui Yan. However, the emperor valued Cui Yan very much and directly ordered Cui Yan to take the post again.
got this position.
Because of this incident, the two became enemies and never spoke to each other on weekdays.
But after hearing Xun Yu talk about his plans, Cui Yan readily agreed. In these years, there were more and more scholars in Taixue. Since each person could only participate in the assessment twice, many scholars
They all left helplessly. After studying all their lives, they gained nothing. It would be a good thing if these people could be properly arranged. Cui Yan thought in her heart and discussed an idea with Xun Yu.
Tai students can participate in another assessment. There is no limit to this assessment. As long as they pass, they can serve as local guards. Of course, they are not ordinary soldiers, but guards after the restructuring. They have official status and can be promoted. This
This is a good thing for those who have no hope of taking the exam. The exam papers are jointly issued by several universities, and they must be recognized by higher authorities.
This assessment is mainly for students, other scholars can also participate, and it also includes military science.
Xun Yu's negotiations with Cui Yan went very smoothly, but he encountered obstacles with Tai Shi Ci. Tai Shi Ci received him amiably at first, but when he heard about Xun Yu's unexpected intention, he was furious and scolded him.
Xun Yu, what he taught here were future generals, not soldiers. Perhaps he felt that Xun Yu would be undermining his talents by doing so. In short, he did not agree to Xun Yu's request.
Xun Yu left the military academy with some helplessness.
It seems that it is necessary to set up another school to recruit a large number of students, select them, and then send them to various places!
