I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 169 Anne

Use the eunuch's children to make knives?

There is no need to say more about the identity of these people. Beheading one by one will definitely be unjust, but beheading every other one will definitely slip through the net.

Isn't Jia Xu afraid of something happening?

Liu Bian looked at Zhang Rang, knowing that the other party must be looking forward to this.

After several attacks on the eunuchs' family members, most of them who were qualified to serve as officials in various places no longer dared to be arrogant. Let alone those who cannot be officials, they are the key targets of the fight against crime.

"It's getting late today. Let Jia Xu come to see me tomorrow!"

"Wei!" Zhang Rang responded, and then reminded, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked me to ask today, can Your Majesty go to the Central Palace to rest tonight?"

Liu Bian hesitated for a moment and said, "Go to the Queen Mother's house for dinner tonight and invite both noble ladies."

After Zhang Rang agreed, he added: "Your Majesty, I heard from Sun Zhang that the Queen Mother didn't eat much that day after she knew that Your Majesty had conferred two noble titles."

Liu Bian immediately understood that the daughter of the Dong family who had been selected into the palace by Empress Dowager Dong did not have any status yet!

The Dong girls should indeed be named nobles together, but this was an oversight on his part.

Empress Dowager Dong did not cause him any trouble after he succeeded to the throne. At most, she had some conflicts with Empress Dowager He when she was overseeing politics.

Liu Bian had to reciprocate the favor, and at the same time, this move could also reassure Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Chong.

Thinking of this, he ordered Zhang Rang: "Go and invite Grandma and the Dong daughter who Grandma brought into the palace before. Tell Grandma that this is a family banquet... Invite Shou'er and Xie'er as well."

……

After a funeral, both Liu Shou and Liu Xie matured a lot.

Liu Shou and Liu Xie were both young and had special status. After the burial of Emperor Xian, they were not suitable to imitate the scholar-bureaucrats and live in a house in front of their parents' mausoleum.

Liu Bian said to Empress Dowager Dong: "Grandma, Xie'er is not young anymore this year. It's time to take some time to study in Dongguan every day. I would like to let Liang Hu, who once taught me, teach him. Liang Hu is very good at calligraphy. Not bad, with a kind personality, what do you think, grandma?"

Empress Dowager Dong looked from Liu Bian to Liu Xie, then back to Liu Bian, and replied: "I don't know anything about studying, the emperor can arrange it."

"Does Xie'er still want to go to Dongguan to study?" Seeing Liu Xie nodding, Liu Bian continued, "No matter where you are wronged, don't be afraid, come and tell me directly."

"Thank you, brother emperor!" Liu Xie bowed very politely.

"Then I will make arrangements tomorrow."

After Liu Bian finished speaking, Liu Shou suddenly said: "Brother, I also want to study."

"You also want to go to Dongguan to study?" Liu Bian asked. He just thought Liu Shou was curious.

But Liu Shou shook his head: "It's not interesting there."

Then he looked at Cai Yan.

Liu Bian understood and said, "How about I let your sister Zhaoji teach you?"

Liu Shou said happily: "Okay, okay, but I made a mistake. It's not my sister, it's my sister-in-law..."

Liu Shou was the liveliest person at this family banquet, which made the atmosphere of this impromptu family banquet hosted by Liu Bian not too serious and deserted.

However, Liu Bian did not try to make up for the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law like Emperor Xian did, and did so in vain. Empress Dowager Dong and Empress Dowager He basically ignored each other.

The next day, Liu Bian sealed his third nobleman, Dong Guiren.

There was not much discussion inside and outside the palace about this. The three nobles were within the regulations and were all of Liu Bian's concubines. For traditional scholar-bureaucrats, they hope that the emperor will have heirs.

Zongzheng and Liu Yan wrote a letter specifically for this purpose and took the initiative to ask whether women should be selected from among the people to enrich Yeting.

At this stage, no one has mentioned anything related to the establishment of the Queen.

When choosing the queen, Liu Bian had to consider a question: did he need to support another relative?

The members of the Cai Yong family are not prominent, but the Tang family of Nanyang, who has produced Zhongchangshi and Sangong, is different. …

"What do you think, Qing? Introducing the eunuch's children into the school affairs department?"

Liu Bian thought about it and thought that Jia Xu might be trying to be cunning. If he introduces eunuchs' children today, wouldn't he openly introduce eunuchs tomorrow?

But Jia Xu knew that he had promised not to use eunuchs as school captains at the beginning of the establishment of the school affairs department.

Although Liu Bian could not guess Jia Xu's plan, he knew that Jia Xu could not be allowed to evade responsibility.

Jia Xu paid homage: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. The school has just been established. It is unable to recruit talented people and has suffered repeated setbacks..."

Liu Bian immediately comforted him: "You don't have to rush, you have done a good job now."

Jia Xu couldn't help but complain. To put it simply, if the school affairs were not needed when something happened, could he be exempted?

"If you want to use eunuchs' children, it's not impossible."

"It's just that there are many good ones among them, so you have to choose carefully. After all, you are their leader!"

The capable among the eunuchs' children have long been sent to serve as officials through the connections of the ministers of the Central and Normal Schools. The ones who stayed behind...

Jia Xu was about to thank him, but he coughed after hearing the last words. After coughing, he said, "I have violated my decency before you. Please punish me."

Liu Bian waved his hand: "It's just a few details that are not worth mentioning. My expectations for you are still righteous!"

He also painted a cake and said: "There are not many people I can trust. Your great talent will be of great use in the future!"

But Jia Xu believed it or not, he did.

Liu Bian added: "Talents are not limited to Luoyang. We can recruit petty officials from counties, counties and townships, and knights from all over the country."

Just a knight-errant, Jia Xu would never dare to recruit a minor official unless Liu Bian asked.

But junior officials, especially those who have no background and have not been promoted for many years, are indeed the best backbone!

Jia Xu's problem was solved, but not resolved.

He came with a sigh and left with a sigh.

Jia Xu has always wondered why His Majesty chose him to do this.

Could it be that he performed too well when he solved Wang Fen's rebellion case?

Jia Xu sighed again. Although the credit for solving the case made him soar to the rank of servant, if he could be elected again, he would definitely not stand out!

If Liu Bian knew what Jia Xu was thinking, he would probably answer him with a smile - because Jia Wenhe is capable, good at protecting oneself wisely, and knows how to advance and retreat. The intelligence system built by you will not devour the owner.

……

In March, Chen Liuguo of Yanzhou, Shi Tianfeng, the Taizhong doctor and the imperial censor, appeared here with an edict.

Tian Feng could have stayed in Luoyang, but he took the initiative to request a patrol in Yizhou, and Liu Bian had no reason not to allow it.

Among the people sent by the school affairs office to accompany him was Qianzhao, who was the deputy for the school affairs trip. After all, with his age and seniority, it was a bit reluctant to lead a team on his own for such a big event.

Both Tian Feng and Qianzhao are from Jizhou. Their hometowns are neighboring counties and they share many common languages.

Through this contact, Tian Feng almost understood Qianzhao's life experience.

Tian Feng had a good impression of the idealistic young man in front of him. By the time he arrived at Chen Liuguo, he almost regarded Qianzhao as his nephew.

Tian Feng and his party had just arrived in Yanzhou. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, who had already heard the news, sent Wang Yu, a special chariot, to greet them.
