Han Dao world

Xiaoqiao covered his mouth and smiled. "Does Your Majesty still need to be restrained? I have never seen such a restrained person as His Majesty. He is clearly a young man, but he is looking forward and backward, and is old-fashioned."

Liu Xie was taken aback. "I'm so unbearable in your eyes? I always thought I should be wise and powerful."

Xiaoqiao knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and his face changed slightly. Seeing that Liu Xie didn't mind, he said: "Wisdom and martial arts are naturally known to everyone, but your majesty is steady, which is indeed rare among his peers. Maybe... yes Because your majesty is too knowledgeable and sees too clearly?"

Liu Xie glanced at her, and didn't tell her about her little trick of seeking love back.

He has always been more generous to those around him, as long as it is not intentional, he generally doesn't care.

To have just turned eighteen, Xiaoqiao, who has a lively nature and a lively personality, has every sentence properly and has no faults at all, which is a luxury in itself.If so, he would be bored.

He's bored enough.

Seeking truth from facts, Xiaoqiao had nothing to say wrong.

Even without the status of emperor, the soul in his 20-year-old body has long been beaten by the society. After passing the age of childish speech, he has to fight wits and courage with the ministers who are per capita for nearly ten years. Can't take it off.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.If you want to do something, you have to pay a price, not to mention his ambitious goal.

"Am I bored?"

"That's not it." Xiaoqiao wrinkled his nose. "Although Your Majesty does not like to tell jokes like those young officials, you are not bored at all. You have a big world in your heart. Although we can only guess a corner, it is enough to yearn for you. When you think about the future, not only will you not be bored , and will be excited, wishing that day would come sooner.”

Xiaoqiao blinked, and said again: "Sister said, if a gentleman is not respected, he is not powerful. If your Majesty ascends the throne as a young man, if you don't calm down, you will be bullied by the ministers. If you are bullied by them like Emperor Xiaohuan and Emperor Xiaoling Now, not only will His Majesty have the reputation of being a faint king, but we will also become troublesome beauties like Meixi, Daji, and Baosi, what a shame."

Seeing Xiaoqiao's indignation, Liu Xie immediately realized that there was a story behind it. "Someone said that?"

Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said disapprovingly: "That's not true, but it can be seen that that's what they said about Xiaohuan and Xiaoling at the beginning. The harem cost tens of thousands of dollars a day. The harem really wants With so many people, how could it be possible that Emperor Xiaohuan has no son, and Emperor Xiaoling only has you three siblings, and now there is not even a clan to support His Majesty."

Liu Xie could only speak in one breath. "I didn't expect that the one who understands the most is your sisters."

"It's not that we understand things, it's that they are pretending to be confused." Xiaoqiao moved his body to make himself lie down more comfortably. "Those old ministers are the worst. They are all as smart as foxes, but they put on the appearance of a loyal elder, and use great principles to suppress others. It's a pity that these methods can only be used against their own people, not the real enemy. .Otherwise, they would have been invincible long ago, so why would they give His Majesty a chance."

Liu Xie couldn't help but patted Xiaoqiao's shoulder lightly. "You really have a sharp tongue, you don't save face for scholars at all."

"This is my Qiao family tradition."

"Is it?"

"Of course, my uncle is such a person. He doesn't like those hypocrites the least, and he likes people who are really talented. Otherwise, he wouldn't have valued Cao Duhu so much at the beginning."

Knowing that Xiao Qiao was talking about Qiao Xuan, Liu Xie couldn't help being interested and asked Xiao Qiao to tell more stories about Qiao Xuan.

He was very impressed with this famous official at the end of Han Dynasty, but his real understanding was limited.He has been in power for many years, and among the courtiers, he rarely heard about people and things related to Qiao Xuan.Hearing what Xiaoqiao said at this moment, he suddenly felt something strange.

It stands to reason that Qiaoxuan should have had many disciples and old officials throughout his history of the Three Dukes, and there should also be many disciples among his disciples.This is a common practice, even the Hongnong Yang family, which is known for its integrity and fairness, is no exception.With these people in court, he should have heard something about Qiao Xuan's deeds.

Happily not.

Seeing that Liu Xie was interested, Xiaoqiao started talking.

But her understanding of Qiao Xuan is also limited.Before she was born, Qiao Xuan had passed away.
Soon it fell into chaos.In her childhood memories, most of them are traveling here and there with her father, and she rarely stays in one place for a long time. Naturally, it is impossible to talk about systematic inheritance.

Even reading, they all learned from Queen Fushou and Ling Shi Caiyan after they came to the line.

Most of what she knew about Qiao Xuan came from hearsay, and her impression was rough.It mainly focuses on two points: First, Qiao Xuan's level of Confucian classics is better than none, and he is famous for his administration of officials.The second is that Qiao Xuan is impatient and often does some disrespectful things and is laughed at.

"Those who laugh at Mr. Qiao, most of them should be celebrities, right?"

Kobayashi blinked. "Your Majesty is really perceptive, and he hits the nail on the head."

Liu Xie smiled. "I've seen too much, I can guess without thinking."

"My great-uncle is not lucky. If he was born 50 years late and could serve His Majesty, it would be more than enough to cover one state."

Liu Xie agreed.

Qiao Xuan has a talent for practical work, and being an official in the court is not suitable for him. Only when he is deployed in the local political army can he use his expertise. More importantly, he is also willing to do practical things.

It is a pity that the big man at that time had internal and external troubles, and there was neither room for him to play, nor suitable public opinion.He was able to leave his name in history because of the misunderstanding of Cao Cao and Erqiao.

After all, there are limited heroes who can make the situation, and most of the time it is the situation that makes the hero.

While sighing with Qiao Xuan, Liu Xie heard something else from Xiao Qiao's words.

"How many people have been discussing the candidate for the state general recently?"

"Many, almost everyone talks about it."

"Who are you most concerned about?"

Xiaoqiao thought about it. "It should be that there are more elders in the family who serve as generals in the army, and there are also older ones. Maybe it is because they feel that they are too old to follow His Majesty's expedition to the west. It is better to be a general of a state and wait for his official career."

"No young ones?"

"Very few, even if there are, I dare not say it, for fear of being laughed at."

After hearing this, Liu Xie became a little worried.

It is of course a good thing for young people to aim everywhere, but if everyone thinks about conquering foreign countries, it is ashamed to stay in the Central Plains, and even regards guarding the states as an excessive time before becoming an official, which is against his original intention.

The New Deal has been implemented for nearly ten years, and most of the people have not yet become rich. It is still common to see troublesome people in poor mountains and rivers. The centripetal force on the imperial court is limited, and the responsibilities of stationing troops in various places are still very heavy.If everyone regards the garrison as a pension and doesn't train hard, how can there be combat effectiveness?

In the future Western Expedition, the best young people will follow him, and the rest of the Central Plains will be people who don't think about making progress. What future does the big man have?

After all my hard work, wouldn't it be self-defeating and harm Huaxia instead?
This is absolutely impossible.
