Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 77
Luoyang West Garden Huaxing Palace.

The palace here is the favorite place of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty in the West Garden. He used to stay and rest here from time to time. Not long ago, he officially changed its name to "Huaxing" Palace, taking the meaning of Zhongxing Huaxia, to highlight Liu Hong's grand ambitions !
Recently, the concubines, maids, musicians, and eunuchs in the West Garden all had a long vacation, and they were not allowed to leave the palace. Some of them were about to fall ill...

The guards of the Forbidden Army in the West Garden are also gradually rotating, and many disciples of Wang Yue and Shi A went directly to the palace to serve as the full-time guards of the Xinghua Palace.

These are all the measures Liu Hong took to clean up the eyes and ears around him. Now that the ten permanent servants have been controlled by Shi A, he also grounded the original lewd people in the palace, and then gradually changed the guards. He is a reliable place to handle government affairs, and he no longer has to go to that dark secret room.

Of course, at present, Huaxing Palace is only activated, and there are people around him, so they are not afraid of the gentry prying in on the news for the time being.

Wang Yue came out of the secret room passage and went to Huaxing Palace to face the saint. He also sighed a little along the way.

It has only been more than half a year since I left Luoyang, I didn't expect such a big change in the palace where I stayed for a long time in the past!

In fact, Wang Yue used to stay in the secret room most of the time, and now he can walk in the West Garden in a fair manner, which is naturally full of freshness...

But no matter what, this is a big step forward. Although Wang Yue felt that the pace was a bit fast, it was a big step taken by the master after all!
Once upon a time, the majestic emperor of the Han Empire did not dare to express his heart easily in his own palace...

For the tenacity and perseverance shown by his master Liu Hong over the years, Wang Yue also asked himself that he could not do it. It was because of his master's persistence that he and Shi A also worked hard under the example, until today they control the situation... …

People often don't notice the passage of time when they are thinking. After a while, Wang Yue's thoughts were brought back to reality by the reminder of the disciples who led the way. So many important things to share with him.

He didn't delay, and immediately walked into the main hall after passing the transmission. At this time, there were only Liu Hong, Shi A and Wang Yue in the huge Huaxing Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have come too late. Fortunately, I did not disgrace this time. I have brought back talents and money from all over Shandong. Please take a look at this list."

Wang Yue looked at the smiling Liu Hong, and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel and salute solemnly.

"Wang Qing, there is no need to be too polite. It is very hard for you to travel all over Shandong for several months. You and Shi Qing have worked hard for many years. I will reward you again when I leave the mountain!"

Although Liu Hong moved his office here, the outside world didn't know about it, and he didn't break the dormant situation, so now the two of them can't be rewarded for any credit. He can only comfort them and draw pictures for them. cake.

Liu Hong took the list from Wang Yue to browse, and asked Shi A to take this time to tell Wang Yue what happened recently.

"Hmmm... the goods brought back from salt and sugar villages in various places are equivalent to 300 billion yuan, bringing back more than [-] students from the academy, and more than [-] promising young people from various counties..."

Liu Hong looked at the series of pleasing numbers, and felt very happy in his heart, and suddenly felt a sense of pride.

These people and things are the key support for him to clean up the gentry in the future, and Liu Hong can't wait to use them immediately!
"Wang Qing, will this large-scale transportation be discovered by the gentry?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything will be arranged according to His Majesty's previous arrangements. Although it took a lot of time and effort, the cost of the journey is also expensive. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and no troubles were caused. It is expected that no secrets will be leaked!"

The secrecy of the transportation is the key to Wang Yue's trip. Normally, he and his disciples come and go like the wind, so there is no problem. It is indeed difficult not to attract the attention of the gentry.

For this reason, Liu Hong discussed with Wang Yue and Shi A for a long time. They cleverly set up many projects and arranged various plans in advance to prepare for emergencies. In the end, Shi A went to various places in Hebei to be responsible for the overall implementation. Wang Yue only set off in February this year. Go to Henan and Shandong.

Fortunately, the gentry in various parts of the Han Dynasty are now willing to do business, and the transfer of materials is also a common thing, which everyone is used to. Moreover, Wang Yue and Shi A dispersed and transported these people and things to different places, which did not attract much attention.

"So, does Wang Qing know why I acted in advance?"

"The more I know, the more worried I was when I first heard about it. Now I know that Your Majesty's luck is at its peak, and Zhang Zhengxi has presented it. This is the foundation of my great Han forever!"

After Wang Yue listened to Shi A's narration, Liu Hong couldn't wait to ask, and of course Wang Yue was greeted with a burst of flattery.

"Well...hahaha, this is all thanks to the strong support of the two Qing families, so I won't mention it for now. Um... I see that the people Wang Qing brought back this time are heroes, and there are also people who are familiar with military affairs. Do I agree? Can someone train the new army in Mount Mangdang?"

For the preparation and training of the new army, Liu Hong also had a long-term plan. After all, guns are very important to reform at any time. Of course, he also knows this truth. In order to supply the consumption of the army.

If there is no powerful, loyal and reliable new army, Liu Hong believes that even if he has a lot of money and food to support him, he will not be able to rely on the existing Han army to win the victory. Not to mention low, the execution is also very poor. I don't know how many people the gentry have placed in it...

Therefore, Liu Hong plans to train a new army directly under him, which can replace the forbidden army and frontier army to guard the inside and outside in the future, in order to deal with the growing threat of Xianbei and Longwei, and to defend against the possible counterattack of the gentry. He even has the name of the new army. After thinking about it, it's called "Xiyuan Army"...

"I don't know whether Wu Qiuxing and Xu Rong have completed their preparations in the mountain. Yue will go to check and urge them tomorrow, and then discuss the matter of military training. What do you think?"

As Liu Hong's trusted young generals, Zuo Duhou Wuqiu Xing and Jianwei Captain Xu Rong were also sent by him a few years ago to build a secret military camp in the nearby Mangdang Mountains to prepare for military training.

However, the scale requested by Liu Hong was too large. The two were afraid of leaking the secrets and being discovered by the gentry, and they did not dare to build with great fanfare, so the construction period was delayed again and again, so Wang Yue decided to go to inspect it in person.

"It's so good, if the two of you are negligent, I will be responsible for you!"

"Your Majesty, Mangdang Mountain is full of gentry hermits and black castles, so there are many constraints between the two, and it is understandable. The first priority of the new army is to keep secrets. The more we should investigate the situation in detail, so that His Majesty can make a decision! Thanks to Zhang Zhengxi The cavalry has been recruited, please slow down and wait for the embarrassment..."

Seeing Liu Hong's anxious look, Wang Yue also understood, and comforted him by saying that he and Liu Hong had a strong relationship, and some words were quite outspoken.

"Don't be careless. I have discussed in detail with Shi Qing that 30 elite cavalry should be able to fight against the Xianbei and guard the northern border of our Han Dynasty without any danger. However, the dragon's power is plotting rebellion, and Taiping is rebelling, and the rest of the place will also need a large number of troops. If we can Add another [-] Ruishi, and you can sit back and relax."

Hearing Wang Yue's comfort, Liu Hong became more and more anxious. He said that he didn't take the Longwei thieves seriously, but he was actually very afraid of them...

Now Liu Hong is full of worries about having money and having nowhere to spend it!

"Since that's the case, my minister's recommendation of two people may be able to relieve His Majesty's urgent needs!"

"Oh? Who is it? Wang Qing came quickly."

"Nanyang Huang Zhong, Anqiu Wuqiu Yi!"
