Han Dao world

Chapter 672

Cai Yan's mind was seen through by the emperor, and he felt ashamed, so he left the banquet to plead guilty.When the words came to his lips, he squeaked for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.

"minister……"

Liu Xie sighed. "Cai Lingshi, I know that this is very difficult. It is even more difficult if you are a woman. But is there anything easy in this world? Mencius said: Born in adversity, die in peace. If everyone is afraid of difficulties, Indulging in ease, where does Zhongxing come from, where does peace come from? The great man has fallen to this point, isn't it because the scholar-bureaucrats who should have taken on important responsibilities are full of food all day long, doing nothing, only sitting and talking about the way, and not willing to get up and do it?"

Cai Yan blushed, speechless.

"Everyone has the right to choose. If you don't want to do something difficult, I can't force you." Liu Xie's face gradually became serious. "However, if you make a choice, you will have to bear the corresponding consequences. If there will be another war in the future, and Shandong will be plundered again, don't blame the court for not working hard. I gave you a chance, but you don't want it, and you don't want to embarrass it."

Cai Yan was sweating profusely, but her body was shaking uncontrollably.

She understood what Liu Xie meant, and she also remembered the tragedy of her hometown being plundered by Xiliang soldiers, and the unbearable years.

Liu Xie paused, and said lightly: "Okay, I'm tired, you go back and rest first."

"Wei." Cai Yan responded tremblingly, and stepped back from the big tent.

The historian who was in charge of recording daily notes was writing in such a hurry that he didn't even dare to lift his head.

Liu Xie got up, took two steps back and forth, picked up Cao Cao's upper watch, turned around and left the tent, and came to the harem.

Although it has not been decided to move the capital to Chang'an, Weiyang Palace has already been used.When Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an before, some repairs were carried out here, which was of a rough scale.It doesn't take too much trouble to come back now, just tidy up a little bit.

The only troublesome place is Jiaofangdian.

Jiaofangdian is the exclusive residence of the queen.Before Liu Xie did not establish a queen, no one was qualified to live in the Jiaofang Palace, and it was useless to clean it up.Later, Fu Shou became the queen, but returning to the east was already on the agenda, so naturally he was not in the mood to clean up.

Coming back this time, Jiaofangdian finally came in handy, and Fushou moved in.

Xun Wenqian and others were supposed to live in Yeting, but Liu Xie asked Xun Wenqian and others to live in a side hall near Jiaofang Hall on the grounds that Yeting was in disrepair.Several halls are not far away, so it is very convenient to come and go.

When Liu Xie came to Jiaofang Hall, Fushou was talking to Xun Wenqian.Liu Tai was wearing a thick winter coat, round like a ball, and was toddling with the help of a nanny.Not long after his first birthday, he started to walk and made rapid progress.

Seeing Liu Xie coming in, Liu Tai pushed the nanny away, opened his arms, and rushed towards Liu Xie crookedly.

Liu Xie quickly squatted down, conveniently put the document under his arm, and hugged Liu Tai.

Liu Tai grinned his toothless mouth and let out a crisp laugh.This laughter soothed the depression in Liu Xie's heart, blew away the dark clouds covering his heart, and brightened his mood.

In an instant, Liu Xie forgot that he was only seventeen years old, and forgot about the great cause of ZTE. The soul of the old man hidden deep in his heart was awakened, his eyes were full of enjoyment of family life, and his face was filled with a bright smile.

Fu Shou and Xun Wenqian got up, felt the warmth in Liu Xie's eyes, and couldn't help smiling at each other.

Recently, Liu Xie is worried about state affairs, and rarely smiles so happily.

In the next second, a document fell from Liu Xie's ribs and floated in front of Xun Wenqian.

Xun Wenqian glanced at the cover, and her eyelids jumped.She squatted down, picked up the document, and handed it to Fushou.

Fu Shou also saw it, held it in his hand, but didn't look at it.

Liu Xie played with Liu Tai for a while before handing him over to the nanny, then turned to look at Fushou and Xun Wenqian.Seeing the document in Fushou's hand, he couldn't help laughing.

"Forget about it. The Shandong war is about to end, and Cao Cao asked to come to court to see him. Do you think it is feasible?"

Fu Shou pursed his lips lightly. "Your Majesty, the harem is not suitable for politics. Your Majesty should ask the ministers about such matters."

"The ministers definitely want to ask, but their minds are now on Sikong's posthumous title, and they are not in the mood to discuss these matters." Liu Xie snorted lightly, and the smile on his face also faded, showing a hint of resentment.

He didn't exaggerate.

For those scholar-bureaucrats, the matter of Cao Cao's visit to court is not worth mentioning compared with Zhang Xi's posthumous fame and interests.

What difference does it make if a villain who has been eunuched and killed innocent people indiscriminately enters the court or not?What awaits him may not be a reward, but more likely to be verbal criticism.

So Cao Cao was also savvy, and didn't say a word about rewards. He just wanted to pay homage to Tianyan, and then follow Yuan Shu's example and defend the country's borders.

Liu Xie could feel the pressure Cao Cao felt, and it was even more real.

If he insisted on going his own way, he might be regarded as an enemy by the scholar-bureaucrats, and then he would be ridiculed face to face, "Emperor Huan Ling can't do it, you are militaristic and trust villains, you are not as good as Emperor Huan Ling."

He saved these scholar-bureaucrats from the brink of greater troubles, but no one may be grateful to him.

Only the suffering experienced by oneself is the real suffering.The scholar-officials who have not been rubbed on the ground by Cao Cao and Cao Pi are still the most proud group of people in this era.

"If that's the case, why don't you wait to talk about it." Xun Wenqian said unhurriedly: "If you enter the court, you can enter the court, and it will save your majesty to go back to Luoyang."

"You don't agree to go back to Luoyang either?"

"When my concubine went to Hedong, she passed through Luoyang." Xun Wenqian said lightly, "Luoyang today is not as good as Chang'an. If it wants to recover, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of construction. Now that the world is initially settled and people's livelihood is dying, it is to rest with the people. At that time, it is not advisable to carry out large-scale construction.”

Liu Xie pondered, noncommittal.

The situation in Luoyang was very bad. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could imagine it.

But Xun Wenqian meant more than that.Not only did she disapprove of going back to Luoyang, but she didn't even mention going back to Hedong. It can be seen that she actually supported moving the capital to Chang'an, but she didn't make it too clear.

Whether to move the capital to Chang'an is still undecided.For Xun Wenqian, there is an important difference.

If you go back to Hedong and still use Anyi as a temporary capital, Yin Xunyu of Hedong will be the chief minister of Gyeonggi.If the capital is moved to Chang'an, Anyi will lose its status as a temporary capital, and Xun Yu will be an ordinary governor of Hedong.

This may even affect Xun Yu's performance appraisal to a certain extent.

The location of Gyeonggi naturally has bonus points, which is an unspoken rule in officialdom.

But from another point of view, this can also allow Xun Yu to truly become a prefect of a county who is trying out the order of saving fields like Yang Xiu and Chen Gong. He can let go of his hands and feet without having to worry too much.

Of course, Xun Wenqian agreed to transfer Cao Cao away from Yanzhou, it may also be dissatisfied with Cao Cao's previous actions, and wanted to cut off with Cao Cao.

"Then let him come." Liu Xie made a decision. "We'll talk about it when we come."

Fu Shou smiled sweetly and bowed slightly. "Since Your Majesty is not going back to Hedong for the time being, can the concubine request to call the concubine's parents? After all, the concubine has not seen them for a few days. I am not feeling very well recently, and the food and drink are not delicious. If I can see them, Maybe it will improve."

"Are you sick?" Liu Xie was a little worried.

Xun Wenqian smiled. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Empress is not sick, she is healthy. Imperial Physician Hua has already checked the pulse, but Your Majesty has been too busy recently to report."

Liu Xie was puzzled. "How can you not be in a hurry for such a big matter?"

Fu Shou covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Physician Hua didn't say whether it was a man or a woman, maybe it was a daughter, Your Majesty, don't be too happy."
