Chapter 385
In Chang'an, a heavy rain has just stopped, and water drops drop by drop from the eaves of the courtyard.

The little emperor Liu Xie sat on the steps in front of the palace, resting his chin with both hands, looking at the ground wet by raindrops in front of him, lost in thought.

Behind the little emperor, stood his personal Huangmen Wangxian.

"Your Majesty, the government affairs urgently needed to be dealt with in Chang'an City have accumulated for several days. If we don't deal with them, I'm afraid another civil and military official will come to see him."

Wang Xian held a roll of bamboo slips, handed them to the little emperor, and said.

The little emperor glanced at the bamboo slip in Wang Xian's hand with some annoyance, and said, "Go, leave it to a few grand tutors, don't bother me."

In the past, Hua Xiong chose the emperor's teachers for the emperor. Lu Zhi, Yang Biao, Zheng Xuan, Zhong Yao, and Cai Yong were selected by Hua Xiong, and they were all called "Teachers".

Wang Xian said with some concern: "Your Majesty, if you hand over these things to the Taifus, I'm afraid the general will not be able to justify it."

When Wang Xian mentioned Hua Xiong, Liu Xie couldn't help hesitating. He just wanted to reach out to take the bamboo slip in Wang Xian's hand, but then pushed it away.

"Wang Xian, you go to write a letter to the general, saying that I want to manage a larger territory, not just this small Chang'an!"

Wang Xian said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the General said at the beginning that you should govern Chang'an for three years first."

"Three years!"

Liu Xie roared loudly, then stood up angrily from the ground, and shouted to Wang Xian:

"This Chang'an is just a small city, and every day is a trivial matter. Where is there something wrong with the building, where are there refugees again, where are people gathering to make trouble, Wang Xian, I ask you, should I deal with these things Is it?!"

"Hmph! Three years?! How could I have waited for him for three years?!"

"How long has it been now? It took the general two months to pacify Liangzhou, and even more than a month to pacify Bingzhou. He even took down Jizhou. Now he is going to Youzhou again!"

"In less than a year, he has won four states!"

As Liu Xie was talking, his whole body trembled suddenly, and he said tremblingly:

"Wang Xian, I suddenly feel that everyone in the world has been deceived by the general."

Wang Xian asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, why did you say that?"

The little emperor staggered and almost fell on the spot, but fortunately Wang Xian helped him in time.

"Wang Xian, the general made a three-year agreement with me. It is agreed that if I can manage Chang'an well after three years, I will teach me the three assistants. But Wang Xian, according to the current speed of the general, three years After three years, I'm afraid that the whole Han Dynasty will belong to the general."

crackling—

The bamboo slip in Wang Xian's hand fell to the ground, he hastily pulled Liu Xie's arm, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words!"

Liu Xie shook off Wang Xian's hand vigorously, and said:

"Look, now I have to pay attention to whether my words are overheard by the general's people. I finally understand that the three-year contract he promised me back then is nothing more than a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water."

"It's him who has won a great reputation through this, and has packaged himself as the Duke of Zhou, but how can he be the Duke of Zhou? He is clearly Wang Mang, Wang Mang!"

"Hua Xiong, Wang Mang!"

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Hua Xiong Wang Mang!"

"His Majesty."

General's House
A Jin Yiwei bowed and handed a secret report to the table in front of Li Ru. After Li Ru opened it and read it carefully, he handed it to Jia Xu beside him, saying:
"Wen He, our Son of Heaven, seems to be unable to sit still."

Jia Xu looked at the secret report in his hand, yawned out of boredom, and said, "Little boy, I'm more worried about him than him."

"You are more worried about those two barbarians."

"Yes, this time I really didn't understand what my lord did. Why did I leave the two Hu men alone in Chang'an? This is [-] Hu Qi."

Hearing what Jia Xu said, a cold light flashed in Li Ru's eyes, and he said, "Wen He, tell me, does my lord mean to let us kill these horses?"

As Li Ru said, he gestured to Jia Xu with five fingers together.

"will not!"

Jia Xu immediately denied Li Ru's conjecture, and then said:

"If my lord really wants to eliminate the [-] Huqi, then it should be clear to you and me, instead of saying nothing, unless."

Li Ru asked, "Unless what?"

Jia Xu frowned and said: "Unless the lord himself doesn't know how to deal with these two Huren, and then the lord is worried about releasing these two Huqi back to their hometown, I'm afraid it will become a disaster for my big man again. He didn’t want to use this barbarian to wield the butcher’s knife against his own people, so he left these two barbarians in Chang’an.”

As Jia Xu said, he suddenly thought that something lit up in his mind, and he immediately instructed the Jin Yiwei who was guarding outside the door: "Go to the next room and bring all the information about Bohai County a few days ago."

"Yes."

Soon, Jin Yiwei moved all the information about Bohai in the past few days to the front of the desk of the two of them. Li Ru frowned and asked: "We are talking about Chang'an, why do you care about Jizhou?"

"Wenyou, come and see"

At the same time, Tuoba Liwei and Yueji who were stationed outside Chang'an each welcomed a courier with a Hebei accent in their tents. After a few simple greetings, the two couriers each handed over a letter. I gave Tuoba Liwei and Yueji, and then left.

Soon, Tuoba Liwei and Yueji took the initiative to extend invitations to each other, and even the rhetoric was similar, to the effect that they were both grassland people, and they organized a celebration for the warriors of the two races at night.

The news was soon spread to the desks of Jia Xu and Li Ru in the General's Mansion. Li Ru said to Jia Xu:
"You really guessed it right."

Jia Xu nodded, and said, "There are still experts around Yuan Benchu, Wen You, we have to make plans early."

Li Rumei could only see a trace of worry, and said: "If these two Hu cavalry are rebellious, I am afraid that there will be aristocratic families in the city to respond. Only relying on the soldiers and horses of the two generals Zhang Ji and Hu Zhen, I am afraid that our troops will not be as strong. Not dominant."

Jia Xu said coldly: "So, I finally understand the meaning of the five thousand elite soldiers."

As soon as Jia Xu mentioned the number of "five thousand", Li Ru thought of the 5000 garrison arrows and [-] heavy infantry that Hua Xiong had secretly transferred to Chang'an before. Thinking of the combat power of the [-] men, Li Ru felt relieved. in one breath.

But the next moment, Li Ru looked at Jia Xu with interest, and coughed twice on purpose.

"Cough, cough"

Jia Xu glared at him and said, "I admit that you won this round. Your guess just now was correct. My lord has indeed been thinking of going out for [-] horses for a long time."

"Haha, Wenhe, it's okay, this kind of situation will happen often in the future."
