Mid-August.
Yan Chuan led the army back to Guzang.
In the Northern Liang Prefecture.
Yan Chuan was stunned when he saw the news from Luoyang.
He only knew that Cui Lie had been the Grand Commandant for three to four years before Cao Song became the Grand Commandant, but he had never made any achievements.
"Yan Jiang!"
Xun Yu was extremely fearful." Cui Lie is definitely not ordinary. The Cui family is a big family in Youzhou. Moreover, the entire Cui family is staunch. Although Cui Lie stinks of money, he was extremely ruthless when he was the Wei!”
"Oh?"
Yan Chuan exclaimed in surprise.
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said," He Jin has a cowardly personality. He keeps getting close to the aristocrats. Yuan Zongzheng, Liu Yu, is the governor of Youzhou. If Cui Lie dares to do anything outrageous in the court, I'm afraid the Cui family of Youzhou will also be inexplicably executed. This is the means of the emperor!"”
"Da!"
"Da!"
Yan Chuan knocked on the table and said in a deep voice,"Gather the counties of Beiliang as soon as possible. Liao Hua will temporarily be the deputy general of the third legion.”
"Here!"
Everyone replied.
" General Yan," Xun Yu said respectfully," Commandant Wuji has sent word that the Western Regions are in turmoil. Wusun seems to be about to start a war!"”
"Ha!"
Yan Chuan laughed coldly." How dare you invade our Northern Liang in such a small place? Zilong's Third Legion will enter the Western Regions in the first battle. I have no requests. As long as the Wusun Empire is destroyed, bring their cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses back!”
"Here!"
Zhao Yun replied.
Yan Chuan turned to look at Xu Rong and Lu Bu and said in a deep voice,""The two armies will rest for a year!"
"Here!"
The two of them replied.
Yan Chuan took another sip of tea and said in a deep voice,"Consolidating the internal affairs, the taxes of the citizens of the other provinces and counties will also be reduced. You have to be in close contact with the merchants from all over the Great Han, so we need to increase the taxes to support the Northern Liang Prefecture!”
"Here!"
Xun Yu replied.
Yan Chuan looked at Jia Xu and said,"Wen He, I want you to go to the Wuji Commandant's Mansion to supervise the battle of Wusun!"”
"Here!"
Jia Xu said respectfully.
Late August.
Nangong, in a school.
When Liu Hong saw Liu Bei, there was no surprise in his eyes, only disappointment.
In this world, there were too few people like Yan Chuan who were as handsome as jade. Liu Bei's body was strange, as if he had not finished evolving...
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Bei said in fear.
Liu Hong pointed at the table full of corn and sweet potatoes and said with a smile,""You are the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. Although you are from a side branch, you are still considered a member of the same clan. Here are the corn and sweet potatoes that Zhang Rang brought back from Beiliang.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Bei's heart trembled with excitement as he picked up the corn and started eating.
Liu Hong walked to the doors and windows of the school and looked at the students who were chanting in the hall. He said in a deep voice,"Do you know what they're studying?”
"Eh!"
Liu Bei was covered in cold sweat.
When he was young, he did learn from Lu Zhi.
However, he was not fond of learning and did not comprehend much. Although it sounded familiar, he could not remember what it was.
"You don't understand?"
Liu Hong's eyes were filled with coldness.
The ritual system is based on the Thirteen Classics of Confucianism.
It was a book that the scholar-bureaucrats must read, and it was also the most basic part.
Liu Bei, as the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and Lu Zigan's disciple, actually did not understand?
Liu Hong suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a gentle smile,""It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Xuande, what do you think of my sons?”
"Thud!"
Liu Bei's heart shook.
Knowing that this was a test, he quickly said,"Your Majesty, there are many princes, all of whom are handsome and heroic. However, our Great Han Dynasty respects filial piety, and the eldest son is also the first heir. Perhaps the eldest prince is the most suitable!”
"You can leave the palace first!"
Liu Hong said with a cold expression.
"Here!"
Liu Bei bowed.
At this moment, he didn't know what taboo he had violated.
According to what he thought, He Jin and the Great General must be Liu Hong who favored Liu Bian. How could he anger the emperor's dignity?
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Rang commanded the Little Yellow Sect to remove the food and respectfully stepped forward.
Liu Hong's eyes were filled with coldness as he berated,""Are you sure this person is a relative of the Han clan?”
" Your Majesty," Zhang Rang said with a trembling voice," the Zong Zheng Manor has confirmed that this person is a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. He's only a branch of Youzhou's branch. Moreover, he's under Lu Zhi's tutelage. He should be quite talented!"”
"Talent?"
Liu Hong snorted coldly." I wonder how many sons I have. I don't know the books of etiquette. I'm not afraid that he doesn't have any knowledge. It's hateful that he dares to talk nonsense about the emperor's family affairs. He said that the eldest son is the heir. He really doesn't know what's good for him!"”
"Thud!"
Zhang Rang couldn't help but feel bitter.
He did not expect Liu Bei to be so ignorant.
Not to mention, Lu Zhi is a great scholar in the world, how can you not know etiquette as a student?
Moreover, he dared to talk about the successor of the Son of Heaven. This was a taboo against Liu Hong!
"Phew!"
Liu Hong let out a sigh and sighed,"There are not many heroes like Yan Chuan in the world. I thought that the person who recruited soldiers to quell the rebellion during the chaos was a staunch clan relative. I didn't expect him to be an arrogant person.”
"Your Majesty, this person has not been elected as filial and honest. If his achievements are reduced by half, he will at most be a county magistrate!" Zhang Rang said bitterly.”
"Then that's it!"
Liu Hong waved his hand and left in disappointment.
