Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 306 I want a woman

Weiyang Palace, Kunming Pool.

Winter is over, the weather is getting warmer, and the spring water is beginning to melt.In the lake, the fish fry that Liu Xie put into the lake last year to increase income and reduce expenditure have grown into colorful koi carps that are about a foot long. They play in the warm sand and do not flee when people come.

Looking at the lake, red plums and green bamboos, blue stones and white water are so beautiful that it makes people feel refreshed.

A pure white horse was scattered aside, gnawing the fluffy grass on the ground, snorting leisurely.Several strong mastiffs are chasing a bone.Liu Xie was sitting on a boulder by a lake, with a warm pad under his buttocks, watching a mastiff snatch the bone and wagging its tail as a reward, then stroking the dog's head, and throwing the bone far away in boredom. Sideways, causing those mastiffs to run like runaway horses again.

Lu Su frowned watching all this, really didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment.However, when he got to Liu Xie's side, he saw Liu Xie throwing stones into the lake while muttering and complaining softly: "It's fun to fight with the sky; it's fun to fight with the earth; it's fun to fight with people." , it’s even more fun..."

In the end, Liu Xie seemed to have thought of something irritating, and threw the last stone in his hand into the lake, cursing fiercely: "It's a lot of fun to go to you, it's just a group of full-fledged people who have nothing to do. Idiots, if you don't deal with you, you won't know how many eyes Prince Ma has!"

Seeing that the rumored moody but talented emperor of the Han Dynasty turned out to be like a resentful woman in a boudoir, Lu Su's slightly frowning brows were furrowed even more, and his expression was very embarrassing.Fortunately, Leng Shouguang, who led him here, seemed to be accustomed to Liu Xie's reaction, and pretended to cough to remind Liu Xie that he had arrived.

Seeing the emperor turning his head back, Lu Su should act as a monarch and minister.But he was stopped by Liu Xie with a wave of his hand, and then he heard Liu Xie say casually: "Don't be polite, sit down and have a good chat with me."

Lu Su looked at the warm pad on the boulder, and his face suddenly looked better.He was born as a local tyrant, after all he was different from those scholar-bureaucrats who abide by etiquette and would rather torture themselves to sit upright than to sit comfortably, but after sitting down, he found that he seemed to have been tricked.Under Liu Xie's big robe, he was wearing a pair of weird underwear, and his bare legs had to be coiled up to ensure that he would not look ugly.

"Don't be so cautious, even if you are seen by me, everyone is a man, what do you care about?" Seeing Lu Su's embarrassment, Liu Xie couldn't help grinning.

'Then why are you wearing an undershirt on purpose? Lu Su slandered, but he didn't show it on his face.When he first entered Chang'an, he was conscripted by Liu Xie in a very embarrassing way.

Although Liu Xie can be said to make him informal, Lu Su can only ignore these words: how deep is the water in the capital, and I don't know it when I first arrived. If it is Xie, I am afraid that I don't even know how to die.

Seeing Lu Su's reaction, Liu Xie smiled with satisfaction.It can be seen that Lu Su is the kind of person who is big and refined. Although he is not very old, he already has a city in his chest.Such a bold and stable person can shoulder great responsibilities.

"I summoned you here, I think you must have guessed a little bit. However, I am really not the kind of emperor who likes to play tricks, so I will tell you about this matter." Liu Xie clapped his hands and turned to face Lu Su said bluntly: "The incident in Kansai has shaken the roots of the Han Dynasty and threatened the prestige of the Han Dynasty at all times. Therefore, this matter cannot be delayed. Of course I still want to command the army to conquer by myself, but you also Clearly, I don’t have this chance at all this time.”

Lu Su nodded, Liu Xie had been observing him from the beginning.Similarly, Lu Su has been trying to figure out Liu Xie's nature without any trace.He believed that Liu Xie's words were not adulterated at all. Based on the rumors he had heard from Qu'a alone, he could feel that the Han Dynasty might have to drastically rectify the administration of officials and reform the political system in the past year. And then stimulate the connotation of the Han room with a new vitality and attitude.

And all these actions, once separated from the decisive deterrence of the helm of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to carry out smoothly.This matter is related to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty for a century, and Liu Xie cannot be careless.Therefore, he must sit in Chang'an...

It's just that he's talking about this with himself right now, isn't it? ...

"Yes, I want you to lead troops to rescue the people in Kansai." Liu Xie saw the doubt in Lu Su's eyes, and said in a tone that did not allow Lu Su to question: "You don't have to worry about it, as long as I am still sitting in Chang'an, so you will not be disturbed and troubled by the court. I will grant you the right to hold festivals, and after entering Longxi, you can make decisions on big and small matters. All I want is a Jingping's Kansai!"

The speculation in his heart finally became a fact. Although Lu Su was prepared in his heart, he still didn't expect Liu Xie to value him so much, so he turned over and knelt down in a hurry: "I'm afraid, this matter is related to the overall situation of the world. I'm just a newcomer. Your Majesty entrusts this important task, and this humble minister may bear His Majesty's great trust..."

Liu Xie seemed to have never heard of Lu Su's words, and before Lu Su finished speaking, he stretched out a finger self-consciously: "You will not be able to bring many troops with you this time, and your position will not be too high. But But I will give you some good talents for you to encourage. Presumably, you have heard the name of Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling in Qu'a."

Lu Su stared at Liu Xie dumbfounded, with a serious thought on his face.And after Liu Xie stretched out this finger, he stretched out a second finger: "In addition, I have a man of five senses under my command, who will also be merged into Kansai with you."

Lu Su's face changed again, and he looked at Liu Xieshou in a daze.Sure enough, Liu Xie then extended his third finger: "Nanyang Wenpin is brave and resourceful, loyal and trustworthy, and can take on great responsibilities."

After saying this, Liu Xie didn't say a word, but his eyes flickered, looking at Lu Su shimmering like the light of a lake.Under such gaze, Lu Su's expression became even uglier.However, behind this unsightly look, the trace of excitement jumped even more, until his eyes suddenly shone like waves.

The incident in Kansai will shake the prestige of the Han Dynasty in a small way, and affect the chaos in the world in a big way.However, the emperor's confidant generals and humerus ministers are not used for important positions such as leading the army to aid, but appointing a few people with such a delicate status, the significance of which is quite conceivable.

This move is not as simple as "employing people without doubt".When Lu Su came to Hanting for the first time, he didn't know what the situation in the court was like.However, judging from the reactions of the ministers at the wedding banquet and Liu Xie's appointment to him, the emperor was dissatisfied with this courtier who was lethargic and unrealistic.

However, although the young emperor's personal prestige is already at the peak of his power, he can't directly break up with these century-old families in a clear-cut manner-it is extremely stupid and unnecessary. Therefore, he must find a delicate balance between compromises and trade-offs.

Obviously, introducing a new emerging force is the most effective and gentle way to dilute this old force.I am quite famous in Qu'a, but I am new to Chang'an, and I feel uneasy. I just need an opportunity to show my talents and stabilize my position.Therefore, he needs the stage in Kansai.At the same time, Ji Ling, Li Yan, and Wen Pin are also similar to him.

Another reason is that the emperor's confidants and humerus ministers cannot be moved.The reform of the military system in the Han Dynasty is already raging, and it is inevitable that the counselor Xun You will discuss it with Liu Xie.And Zhong Yao, as a buffer between the emperor and the court scholar-official class, it is even more impossible for him to leave Chang'an.

Similarly, Yang Xiu also had such a role, and because of his frivolous temperament, he was too eye-catching, so the emperor had to hide him for a while.As for the core generals such as Xu Huang and Xu Rong, who were personally promoted by the emperor, they have already made meritorious deeds. If they blindly make meritorious service, it will increase the guard against the warriors...

In this way, it is safe to let a group of junior and low-level people lead the customs, and the emperor himself sits in the middle.

The only flaw among them is that this large army is under different leadership and harbors grievances. Whether it can turn the tide is concerned or not, it requires the commander-in-chief to have excellent means of manipulating people and military skills.And such a heavy responsibility, the emperor entrusted himself...

After thinking about all these things, when Lu Su raised his eyes to look at the 14-year-old boy again, he couldn't help feeling a bit of fear in his heart.What is the emperor's mind, and what is the true character of a hero?

And that's the tip of the iceberg!
Although, Liu Xie's plan reveals the taste of military tactics everywhere.But Lu Su put himself in his shoes and found that apart from this method, there really was no perfect solution.

However, the only thing that Lu Su couldn't figure out was how such sophisticated political wisdom and methods could come from the hands of a young man who had just passed fourteen years, and how could he operate so freely?
Could it be that there is really a saying that the sky favors talents?

Lu Su couldn't believe it, but after his face sank slightly, he lowered his head again.

"Also, after entering Kansai, remember to ask Ma Chao to obtain the intelligence power of all the spies and assassins in his hands. This will have a crucial impact on your overall control." Seeing that Lu Su had already acquiesced in his actions , Liu Xie stood up slowly, stroked the mastiff that had finally regained its bone, and was about to get up and leave.

But just half a step away, he seemed to think of something again, he paused and said: "If possible, I have a personal request."

"Please speak, Your Majesty." Lu Su was a little stunned, but still asked respectfully.

"Han Sui has a woman by his side, I want her." Liu Xie's voice was as leisurely as a lake, but it couldn't hide the deep whirlpool.

Just when Lu Su was stunned again, he heard Liu Xie say slowly: "Of course, if you have to, you can bring her body."

"By the way, her name is Dong Bai..."
