"It's hard to give up on natural beauty. Why should Miss Xin feel sorry for herself?"

Xin Xianying glanced at Liu Chan and sighed again.

"Your Majesty, don't you?"

When Xin Xianying reached the end, she lowered her head, blushing suddenly on her neck and cheeks, and stopped talking.

"Not so much?"

Liu Chan asked.

You clearly know what I mean?
Do I need to pierce this layer of window paper myself?
Thinking of this, Xin Xianying felt a little embarrassed.

"What the little lady means is that the weather is extremely cold and there is hot wine in the pavilion. Why don't Your Majesty drink a glass of hot wine?"

She wouldn't do anything like taking the initiative to break the window paper!
snort!
I, Xin Xianying, don’t believe it anymore, you won’t be in a hurry!
However, Liu Chan is really not in a hurry!
He laughed and said, "I really mean it. Snow is falling all over the sky. Drink a cup of hot wine to warm yourself up!"

As he spoke, he picked up the hot wine on the brazier and filled the wine bottle on the stone collapse.

"Girl, would you like a drink?"

Xin Xianying was furious, but she said: "Xianying is not cold, so I won't drink!"

Elm lumps, elm heads!
Xin Xianying complained crazily in her heart.

Liu Chan picked up the wine bottle, drank it in one sip, and immediately took a long breath of relief.

"Ah~ good wine, really good wine!"

Even though Xin Xianying was trained by a daughter from an aristocratic family, she was very angry at the moment. She didn't dare to vent her anger, so she could only sulky and turned her head away, not even looking at Liu Chan.

"Don't you want a drink?"

"The little girl won't drink anymore."

"That's a shame."

Liu Chan sighed and stood up immediately.

"This is so boring, I'm leaving."

Ugh?
Just leave like this?

Xin Xianying stood up quickly.

"The little girl suddenly feels a little thirsty. It's not impossible to have a drink."

Just pretend.

How dare you pretend to be cold in front of me?

Liu Chan grasped Xin Xianying's slender hand, and the cold nephrite-like feel made people fall in love with it.

Xin Xianying's face turned red with embarrassment, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

After all, it's you who makes the first move.

"I will stay in Long County for one month, and then return to Chang'an after one month. You are engaged to be engaged. Although I like you, I don't want to take away anyone's love. When the situation is stable, I will send you to Wei State. , get married to your fiancé.”

Liu Chan looked like a gentleman.

The secret joy in Xin Xianying's heart was gone.

Not
I am engaged, but you are squeezing my hand, how can you say such sanctimonious words?

"Your Majesty, men and women cannot be intimate with each other."

Xin Xianying took half a step back.

But Liu Chan pulled him into his arms.

"So, you are really thinking about your fiancé?"

Correct!
I just miss him!
Xin Xianying said angrily: "How can I, a little girl, refuse my parents' orders to be a matchmaker? Yang Dan was born in the Taiyang clan and had a noble family. I heard that he was distinguished and talented, and he was attracted by this little girl. ”

What a yearning for it.

Liu Chan put his other hand on Xin Xianying's body and used some strength unconsciously.

"I want to see if you are a chaste and fierce woman!"

After saying that, he lowered his title to the beautiful girl's red lips, and it took a long time to separate.

Xin Xianying's face turned seductively red, and her eyes became blurred.

She is just an untouched girl, while Liu Chan is a master among flowers, and simple teasing cannot last long.

"You want to go back to Luoyang? To meet your fiancé?"

Although Xin Xianying's eyes were blurred, she seemed to have grasped something important in her heart.

"Xianying will not marry anyone other than a sheepherder. Your Majesty, please be careful and don't harm my innocence."

Good guy.

That’s the tune!

Liu Chan's eyes suddenly shone with excitement.

"Then I will really eat you. Look at your sheepherder, do you still dare to have you?"

Saying that, he immediately took action.

Xin Xianying was happy at first, but soon became panicked.

Here?
In Qianshui Pavilion?

Are there so many pairs of eyes watching from outside?
After this live broadcast, will she, Xin Xianying, still be alive?
Xin Xianying immediately struggled fiercely.

"Your Majesty, don't be here, please."

The beauty looked pleading, but Liu Chan smiled softly and shouted to the outside of the pavilion: "Huang Hao!"

"The slave is here!"

As Liu Chan's number one loser, Huang Hao immediately took action.

I saw Huang Hao commanding a group of eunuchs, holding a yellow dragon cloth as tall as a person that had been prepared in his hand. In a short period of time, he surrounded the Qianshui Pavilion, and the human figure built a large tent without a roof and came out.

Xin Xianying was stunned and even more terrified.

How does she feel that His Majesty the Emperor came prepared?
Being in the arms of the villain, Xin Xianying was terrified.

"How is it here?" Liu Chan asked with a smile.

Although no one could see what was going on inside Qianshui Pavilion, the sound could be heard.

"Your Majesty, Xianying doesn't like Yanglang anymore, isn't that okay?"

Xin Xianying felt like crying but felt that she had gone too far.

"Ha! Woman, do you really think I will believe you?"

Liu Chan's main focus is excitement.

Everything started with Xin Xianying's exclamation.

I do not know how long it has been.

Maybe it's a quarter of an hour, maybe half an hour, maybe longer.

After the rough waves.

Liu Chan fell to the ground and looked at Xin Xianying, who was breathing heavily and with no focus in his eyes, and said with emotion: "Xin Xianying, you have raped me!"

Hearing this, Xin Xianying's pupils finally regained some of their focus. She was ashamed and annoyed, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, you obviously used force, but you don't know how to show mercy."

Feeling something strange about her body, and hearing the man next to her speaking like this, Xin Xianying was so aggrieved that she just wanted to cry.

But he was afraid that the eunuchs outside would hear him, so he had to suppress his voice.

"Xianying is too embarrassed to see anyone."

"just kidding."

Liu Chan held Xin Xianying in his arms. Xin Xianying snorted proudly, but her head rested obediently on Liu Chan's chest.

"This month, you are mine, and I am yours."

Hearing this, Xin Xianying asked: "What about one month later?"

"You are still mine, but I may not be yours anymore."

Xin Xianying immediately understood what Liu Chan meant.

She encouraged herself secretly.

This month, I must make His Majesty like me and rely on me.

Xin Xianying, Xin Xianying!
For the sake of the Xin family and for yourself, work hard!

One month's time.

Gone in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Bao, Ma Dai, Ma Cheng, Hao Zhao and others already led the 20,000 troops gathered in Longxi. Together with the soldiers recruited from the original Di people and Anding Lu Shuihu, plus 10,000 Han troops, the total number was more than 50,000. People were marching towards Liangzhou in a mighty manner.

Most of the logistics transportation is undertaken by the counties in Longxi. Of course, part of it needs to be transported through Guanzhong.

However, Guanzhong can completely bear these consumptions.

Liu Chan's current focus is on the matter of the martial arts school entrance examination.

The level of the children of the Longxi family is lower than Liu Chan imagined. They are completely incomparable to the descendants of the Nanyang gentry and the Runan gentry.

I originally thought that the nobles of Longxi should have some abilities.

Unexpectedly, he was disappointed.

But after thinking about it, Liu Chan was relieved.

During this period, the Longxi aristocratic families were not yet fully developed, the degree of Chineseization was not too high, and there were almost no Jingchuan families.

A child from an aristocratic family who can contribute so well has done his best.

Xin Xianying clearly felt the disappointment in Liu Chan's heart and said on the side:
"Your Majesty, among the families in Longxi, the children of the aristocratic families are indeed inferior to those from the Central Plains aristocratic families. But if Your Majesty wants to accept Longxi, you cannot follow the standards for recruiting the Central Plains aristocratic families."

Liu Chan naturally knows this truth.

"I have no intention of not accepting these people."

The requirements for special moves will naturally be lower.

But Liu Chan's idea is more long-term.

"If things continue like this, the most powerful force in the DPRK will be Jingxiang, East Henan."

Nanyang, Runan, Xiangyang, Jiangling.

There are really too many talents in these four places.

In this regard, Yizhou cannot compare, the same is true for Guanzhong, and even more so for Longxi.

Fortunately, Liu Chan separated these geopolitical factors with the martial arts lecture hall.

But Liu Chan can't say how effective it will be.

Over in Wei State, the power of the aristocratic family was now large enough to influence the imperial power. As the emperor, Cao Pi had to worry about this and that when doing one thing.

The emperor's will is not entirely the country's will.

The situation in Han was much better than that in Wei.

But the situation is also not optimistic.

Liu Chan appointed a large number of children from aristocratic families. Probably 90% of those who served as officials in the court were from aristocratic families. The influence of aristocratic families was equally great in Han Dynasty.

Just because Liu Chan has won many battles, his prestige can overwhelm the voices of these aristocratic families.

At the same time, we should be vigilant and strict with the development of the family.

There are not just one or two aristocratic families that were exterminated by Liu Chan.

But this is only a case of victory.

Once he shows signs of decline, will the family reveal its claws?
Thinking further, if he is half a year from now, will his descendants be able to control the family?

I'm afraid it's difficult!

These heirs of his have been influenced by the aristocratic family since they were born. Without his prestige and skills, they are likely to be manipulated by the aristocratic family.

Liu Chan suddenly asked Xin Xianying beside him: "Young girl thinks that the family is so powerful, how can you control it?"

How to suppress it?

Xin Xianying was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said: "Aristocratic families are not savage beasts. If they are used well, they can govern the country and bring peace to the people. If they are not used well, they will become hidden dangers."

Yes!

The aristocratic family is not entirely bad.

Xin Xianying saw the worries in Liu Chan's heart and went on to say: "During the reign of Emperor Wu, he once moved powerful men from all over the world to garrison Maoling. Why doesn't Your Majesty follow his example?"

To follow?

Are the powers of Emperor Wu's period on the same level as today's aristocratic families?
How can the world's aristocratic families move to Maoling?

Moreover, the aristocratic families come from powerful families. When the aristocratic families leave, the local powerful families will become new aristocratic families.

This method obviously treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

It will also cause public dissatisfaction.

Liu Gongsi did not take it.

"If I forcibly move the Longxi Xin family to Maoling, will the Longxi Xin family agree?"

When Liu Chan asked this question, Xin Xianying fell silent.

"I'm afraid uncle won't want to."

"This is it."

Liu Chan sighed, and the aristocratic family raised its head. This was a general trend. Later generations also passed through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties for hundreds of years. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that this influence was completely wiped out, and the aristocratic family completely withdrew from the stage of history.

He is the emperor, and it is really difficult to change this trend in a short period of time.

It was a little embarrassing to ask Xin Xianying this question.

"The reason why aristocratic families are so powerful is that they control the population. If Your Majesty can surpass the aristocratic families and control the population, you can solve the problems of the aristocratic families."

After a long silence, Xin Xianying said again.

Of course what she said made sense.

But it will take a long time to implement it.

In fact, these are exactly what Liu Chan is doing.

Fu soldiers and field soldiers are stationed in various counties. They farm on weekdays, train on the side, and gather in wartime to become fighting soldiers.

but
The development of the aristocratic family must be faster than the development of these government soldiers and field soldiers.

After a few decades, the land was annexed, and the shortcomings of the government soldiers and the field soldiers were probably exposed.

Moreover.

Unless the world is unified, Liu Chan would not dare to really fall out with the family.

The top priority now is to destroy Wei and Wu.

Liu Bei's long-cherished wish in his life is to revive the Han Dynasty. I think it will take a few years to get a glimpse of it?
"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Liu Chan shook his head. Things in the distant future are too far away, and people should still focus on the present.

"Fifty quotas will be set to ensure that one person from each family will be on the list. The rest will be determined based on the scores."

The martial arts hall is also a type of transaction.

Bringing these children from aristocratic families into the martial arts hall and brainwashing them for several months and a year might become a sharp sword in his hands.

When the time comes, who knows whether the children of the aristocratic family will serve the aristocratic family or the world?

All changes are subtle.

Tongguan.

Zhuge Liang received new military reports.

"Sima Yi built a defensive line in Hongnong County, Qian Zhao and Pei Qian built the city with jade bis, and the Wei State turned to the defensive."

The situation is clear.

The state of Wei turned from offense to defense.

"Cao Pi can hold back such a tone, and he has a bit of an imperial air."

Zhuge Liang sighed.

"Prime Minister, can we attack it while its defense is still incomplete? Otherwise, once it succeeds in building the city, I'm afraid it will cost more to capture it."

Zhao Yun led his troops to pursue the Wei army a month ago and achieved some successes. This time he heard the news that the Wei army had built a defense line and was already preparing to attack.

"Hongnong is so long that even if the defense line is constructed, it can hardly be called a natural hazard,"

Hongnong County is actually a long valley corridor with a huge area that makes it difficult for tens of thousands of people to defend it for a long time.

No matter how much people and material resources are spent, it will be difficult to hold on.

Therefore, Tongguan sent troops to capture Hongnong very quickly, and the troops reached Hangu Pass.

Zhuge Liang is worried about the hidden dangers of Yubi City.

Hedong County is protected by Zhongtiao Mountain. If a strong city is built, it may be able to block the Han Dynasty's 100,000-strong army like Sima Yi.

"What does the Prime Minister mean to harass Hedong?"

Leaving Hedong, go down to Taiyuan, overlooking Hebei. After leaving Xiaoguan, we reached Longyou and looked at the west of the river. Go to the upper reaches of the Han River in the south, leave Hanzhong, take the Shu Road, and look south to Bashu; leave Wuguan, collect Nanyang, and point the sword at the two lakes. Leave Luoyang, guard Xingyang (Hulao), and compete in the Central Plains.

The Chang'an area and the Luoyang area are actually one, and the link between them is not Hongnong County, but Hedong.

The connection between Guanzhong and Hedong is very intuitive. They are separated by the Yellow River. However, Hedong and Luoyang are actually only separated by Zhongtiao Mountain. Go over the best valley of Zhongtiao Mountain to reach the Yellow River, go down the river, and go south to Mengjin. It's Luoyang.

In other words, to attack Luoyang, one does not necessarily have to go through Hongnong.

You can also go to Hedong.

When the Han Dynasty's national power became strong, it would definitely send troops from multiple routes, and Hedong must be one of the routes of advance.

And this Jade City became an obstacle to the Han army.

Jade jade jade.

Just break it in front of me, Zhuge Kongming! (End of chapter)
