Before Liu Xiu got off the boat, he saw Hu Benlang on the shore. He was just a little curious at the time. He couldn't help laughing until he saw Yuan Shu hiding behind other Hu Benlangs with a drooping face.

"Yuan Gaolu, how dare you work on your big driver?"

"Oh, General, you have been triumphantly. Your Majesty praised the general and ordered the Hu Ben Lang to come to follow him. Who will come if I don't come?" Yuan Shu bared helplessly, and was still angry at the emperor's almost insulting edict. Liu Xiu made contributions in the northern border, and he also made contributions in the northern border. He promoted Liu Xiu, but he would be defeated if he didn't promote him. Why did he let him be the best Wu for Liu Xiu?

But who made him the General of the Hu Ben? This is really his business. The only difference is that he just sent a few Hu Ben Langs in normal times, and he did not let the General of the Hu Ben Langs take action personally.

The dignified Yuan family's legitimate son made the way for Liu Xiu, and his face was so embarrassing.

Yuan Shu became more and more angry the more he thought about it. His eyes looked at Liu Xiu were a little unkind. However, Liu Xiu didn't care. He knew what the emperor was thinking when he saw this scene. However, he felt that this was too childish. What's the use of making Yuan Shu lose face? Can it solve the current economic crisis?

"Then I'll be in trouble." Liu Xiu patted Yuan Shu on the shoulder: "When I see Your Majesty, I will express my gratitude to Your Majesty."

Yuan Shu didn't understand at first, but later when he saw Liu Xiu wink at him, he felt relieved and finally felt relieved. He turned around and took Hu Benlang to guide the way in front, and then played the majestic military music. Liu Xiu slowly walked towards Luoyang City under the escort of his personal infantry and cavalry.

Ping was optimistic. The emperor was wearing gorgeous golden armor and a serious expression. The civil and military officials sat aside in order, Hu Benlang and Yulinlang stood in the middle of the road. They extended to the outside of the temple. Although there were nearly a hundred people in the hall, no one said anything. There were only the sound of the jade pendant hitting when moving the body. Occasionally, someone coughed a little or two, and the atmosphere was very dull.

Taiwei Qiaoxuan, Situ Yuan Wei and Sikong Tang Zhen sat next to the emperor, Qiaoxuan lowered his eyes and said nothing. Yuan Wei bowed his hands, his expression was indifferent, only Tang Zhen seemed a little uneasy, and he licked his thick lips from time to time, just to see the scene next to him. He probably wanted to chat and relax, but no one dared to pay attention to him, so he had to keep his whole stomach full of words in his heart.

The emperor solemnly met the triumphant General Zhenbei in Ping and asked all the three dukes and nine ministers to attend the meeting. This specification seemed too big. It was so big that it was hard to understand. If we welcome the general back to the court, it would be almost the same. A general Zhenbei was far from qualified.

This only shows that the emperor was demonstrating, deliberately raising his courtesy to Liu Xiu and showing his attitude to all officials.

Liu Xiu stopped in front of the temple. Before he could get off the horse, Jian Shuo trotted over. He was far away and he bowed and congratulated: "General, Your Majesty has an imperial edict. Please ask the general to take a horse into the temple and follow the tiger camp."

Liu Xiu was startled: "How can I not afford this?" It would be fine to ride a horse into the temple, but it was just a kind of honor, but it was too outrageous to let his tiger soldiers follow him into the temple. Although the staff lost to the tiger soldiers camp had not yet been replenished, there were more than 200 people, all of whom were strong warriors. Once they entered, the officers in charge of safety should not be scared to death?

"This is Your Majesty's favor to the general, and the general is hereby ordered." Jian Shuo smiled like Huaer, and reached out to hold the reins of Liu Xiu's pedestal: "I am lucky to be the general to lead the horse."

Liu Xiu only felt that his temples were tightening. The emperor had created such a big formation. It seemed that something big was about to happen. He hesitated for a moment, turned around and waved his hand to Xu Qian: "Let all the soldiers in the Tiger Soldier Camp unravel their swords, and all weapons are not allowed to enter the sight."

Xu Qian had already heard Jian Shuo's words, and when he heard that the Tiger Soldiers were going to follow Liu Xiu to see him, he was very excited. He immediately ordered the Tiger Soldiers to remove all the weapons on his body, and told them to pay attention to things, such as not being allowed to speak casually, paying attention to formation, and not looking around. Liu Xiu had never expected this situation before, and at this time he was a little anxious. The Tiger Soldiers were not afraid of even facing fierce people like Tan Shihuai on the battlefield, but when they thought of meeting the emperor, they inevitably became nervous while being excited.

After carefully checking the equipment on each person, he reorganized his armor. Liu Xiu sat straight on the war horse. Lian Jian Shuo walked towards the sight with the reins. More than 200 tiger soldiers held their breath, held their heads and chests, lined up in an orderly line, followed Liu Xiu's horse in an orderly manner. Under the hot eyes of the men on both sides, their whole faces were glowing and their blood was pouring.

When the team arrived in front of the hall, Liu Xiu dismounted the horse, and Xu Qian directed the tiger soldiers to change the formation and lined up in five horizontal lines behind Liu Xiu, like a thick and solid city wall.

"Your Majesty has an edict to let Liu Xiu, General of Xuanzhenbei, go to the hall, and the tiger soldiers supervised Xu Qian's entourage!"

"I am following the imperial edict." Liu Xiu responded loudly, winking at Xu Qian. The two of them lowered their heads, bowed their hands, and walked towards the hall with small pieces. Liu Xiu saw the carriage more and there was not much feeling except being flattered. Xu Qian was different. It was the first time he saw the carriage, and it was in such an occasion. Not to mention the emperor, even those officials standing next to him might not have the chance to get in such a close contact. For a moment, his hands were numb, his legs were weak, his forehead was sweating, and his face turned red and white.

"Zhongkang, don't be nervous." Liu Xiu noticed Xu Qian's strangeness, slowed down, and whispered: "Just follow me. You can do whatever I do, and you can say whatever I say."

"Here." Xu Qian responded in a hoarse voice.

Liu Xiu went to the hall, knelt down at the entrance of the hall, and sang loudly: "General Zhenbei Chen Xiu pays homage to Your Majesty."

Xu Qian subconsciously shouted, "General Zhenbei, Minister Xiu..." After saying halfway, he realized something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "General Zhenbei, Tiger Soldier, Chief Secretary, Yuan, pay homage to Your Majesty."

When the ministers saw each other, they looked at each other. Some couldn't help but want to laugh, while others curled their lips contemptuously. The originally quiet palace was a little distracted. Xu Qian was even more embarrassed when he heard their whispers. His head was on the ground and he dared not lift it up. The beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead, soaking the blue bricks on the ground.

The emperor glanced around, suppressed the court officials' whispers, stood up, walked down the steps. He helped Liu Xiu up with his own hands, waved to Xu Qian, and Jian Shuo hurriedly walked up to help Xu Qian up, who was trembling. The emperor looked at Xu Qian, who was sweating, and smiled and said, "Does the tiger soldiers who are invincible on the battlefield also be afraid?"

Liu Xiu quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty is a powerful man, and it is not something that ordinary people can resist."

The emperor laughed and waved his hand: "Don't worry, although I am wearing armor, I am not your enemy. Relax and come. Let me introduce the warriors who killed Tan Shihuai."

Seeing that the emperor was so kind, Xu Qian relaxed for a moment, followed the emperor to the outside of the hall, and pointed at the tiger soldiers arranged in a neatly shaped formation. The emperor was kind and smiling. Every time Xu Qian introduced one, he would nod. The tiger soldiers were so excited that their faces were flushed, and they looked at the emperor with eyes fixed on them.

Although the emperor was weaker, he wore this golden armor, which added a bit of masculinity and was extremely wealthy and did not dare to look directly at him. He enjoyed the admiration and awe of the tiger soldiers. He became more energetic and spoke three points louder. The golden armor on his body was not that heavy.

"It was these warriors who fought side by side with you and killed Tan Shihuai together?" the emperor asked with a smile.

Liu Xiu hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Go back to Your Majesty. That's exactly what happened. In order to kill Tan Shihuai, nearly 300 warriors sacrificed their lives, sprinkled blood on the battlefield, and buried in the setting sun. I am willing to ask Your Majesty to give them honor and favor."

"It should be, it should be, I can't forget to sacrifice for the country." The emperor stood upright in the face of the tiger soldiers, raised his right hand, and shouted: "Thank you for your hard work, warriors."

The tiger soldiers were stunned when they looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scene and stood there stupidly. Xu Qian was the first to react, turned around and stood in front of the tiger soldiers, faced the emperor, stroked his chest with his hands, and shouted loudly: "I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, and I will never refuse!"

The tiger soldiers suddenly realized, and stroked their hands with their chests and shouted in unison: "I wish to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, and I will never refuse!"

The emperor laughed, squeezed his eyes at Liu Xiu, and said softly: "How, am I learning like this?"

Liu Xiu was also scared, but he was so scared that he did not let the soldiers shout any ambiguous slogans. Otherwise, he would have shouted them here, which would have caused a big disaster.

The emperor was very interested and ordered a banquet to be given in Pingleguan to reward the meritorious soldiers. Liu Xiu and Xu Qian were introduced to the hall to take a seat. The emperor was very interested in Xu Qian. Not only did he give him wine and meat, but he also said a few words to him kindly, which made Xu Qian so excited.

After the banquet, the emperor took off his golden armor, put on a casual outfit, took Liu Xiu to the view, held the railing, overlooking Luoyang City, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated. Liu Xiu followed him carefully, listening to the emperor's words.

"I have only conferred you as a general in Zhenbei. Don't you think it's too thin?" The emperor did not answer, as if he was talking to himself.

Liu Xiu hurriedly said, "I have received your majesty's wrong love. I can do this today. I am willing to work hard for you. I dare not have any complaints. Moreover, I have been appointed as General Zhenbei in my twenties. It is a rare honor. How dare I be uneasy?"

"Thinking like this is the best." The emperor gently patted the railings and his tone eased a little: "But I know that with your contribution to killing Tan Shihuai this time, a general in Zhenbei is not enough to repay you. I have no choice but to do so."

Liu Xiu looked at the emperor's toes calmly, waiting for the emperor's explanation.

"Zhang Jiao was the prefect in Runan. In just a few months, he found out that a large number of encroachments on land, bullying the people, and hiding the population. The people who did these things were led by the Yuan family, and other families had people following Yuan Shao to fight north. The reason why the Yuan family could raise 200 to 30 billion in just three months was also unmistakable from the support of these people." The emperor patted the railing hard, and his tone became very cold: "I want to go to war, but they have no money, and the Yuan family wants to go to war, and they pay for money and people, so I don't understand. Are they the people of the Han Dynasty or the people of the Yuan family?"

Liu Xiu frowned and said nothing.

"This is true in Runan, Yingchuan is no exception. Even the four prefectures of Yan, Yu, Qing and Xu are the same. In addition, Jizhou, Jingzhou, the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, and the most powerful states have become vassals of the Yuan family. Recently, the theory of the five virtues is rising, saying that Huangdi should start and the Red Emperor should end, and earth should overcome fire is the general trend. Hum, what is the general trend, isn't it for the Yuan family to open up."

Liu Xiu said lightly: "The theory of the beginning and end of the five virtues is just a false statement. I fought against Tan Shihuai at the setting sun. He is Xuanwu Camp. According to the five elements belong to water, my battle flag is Zhuque. According to the five elements belong to fire, according to the theory of the five elements, I should be defeated, and Tan Shihuai should be defeated, but the final result is that I won and Tan Shihuai will be defeated. It can be seen that this theory of the five elements cannot be believed."

"You think so, but those foolish men and women don't think so." The emperor curled his lips and sneered: "I have now obtained a lot of evidence of their violation of laws and regulations, but I cannot act rashly. Whether Zhang Jiao or Liu Biao, they all told me that these people are in a mixed manner and have strong power in various places. If they are not prepared enough, they may be shocked and out of control. So I have been enduring it. Wait until the war in northern Xinjiang is over. I sometimes think, how great it would be if God had eyes and let those traitors with ill-hearted hearts die in a bad life."

Liu Xiu was shocked and couldn't help but take a breath of air. His neck froze. He felt the emperor's gaze. The traitor died in a bad life. Did he want Yuan Shao to die at the hands of the Xianbei people? And he rescued Yuan Shao, which was actually disrupting the emperor's plan? Thinking of what Jia Xu had said to him, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

In order to make Yuan Shao die, 40,000 soldiers need to be buried with him?

"I... believe that those who want peace in the world and who go against the heavens will not have a good end."

"Heaven? What is heaven?"

"Your Majesty is the Emperor."

"Haha, then are you supporting me?" The emperor laughed, his laughter like a night owl. Liu Xiu suddenly felt that the emperor in front of him seemed different from the emperor before. He became more sinister and more stubborn. He was not discussing with him, he was forcing him to submit.

If God does evil, he can still live, but if he does evil, he cannot live. Although Liu Xiu didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, he could guess that it was definitely not a gentle breeze and drizzle. He wanted to attack the Ruying family headed by the Yuan family. At this time, he had no other choice except to stand on the side of the emperor. To put it another way, he was even waiting for this result.

Liu Xiu took a step back and fell to the ground: "I am willing to serve your majesty as a gift."

"Hahaha..." The emperor smiled comfortably and raised his hand to let Liu Xiu rise: "The king and his subjects are united, why not do it? Do you have a suitable candidate for your subordinates? I still lack a Yingchuan prefect."

Liu Xiuluo thought: "Hedong Prefect Dong Zhuo, who made outstanding achievements this time, can be the prefect of Yingchuan."

"Dong Zhuo?" The emperor thought for a while before he remembered such a person. He was a little surprised. He originally wanted Liu Xiu to recommend a person from Bingzhou to serve as the prefect of Yingchuan, but he did not expect that he recommended Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo is also very suitable. Like Liu Xiu, he came from a poor family and was also a martial artist, and he has never been accepted by scholars. More importantly, Liu Xiu recommended him to serve rather than recommending his confidants, which shows that he was not considering his own interests first.

This made the emperor very satisfied.

"Very good, it's him." The emperor nodded and agreed. Although Yingchuan Prefect and Hedong Prefect are both prefects, the terrain of Yingchuan is more important than Hedong. Generally speaking, Yingchuan Prefect is promoted to another emperor, even among the nine ministers, which is also in line with the achievements made by Dong Zhuo.

The smooth beginning of this emperor was both surprised and surprised, and his mood was obviously much more relaxed.

...

After attending the celebration banquet held by the emperor, it was not until dark that Liu Xiu returned to his mansion. The eldest princess and Wang Chu had already arranged it. The family was looking forward to it. Liu Xiu started to come ashore from Mengjin, and the news was sent to the mansion. The emperor sent Hu Ben Lang to follow the general, Jian Shuo led the horses for the general, and the emperor summoned the tiger soldiers camp. These news representing supreme favor made the atmosphere in the mansion more and more enthusiastic. Everyone had uncontrollable smiles on their faces, and they waited for Liu Xiu to return to the mansion even more anxiously.

Only Lu Zhi seemed rather alternative. He sat silently in the hall, drinking tea cup after cup, and did not turn a page of the book he kept at hand, and didn't even notice that he was soaked in tea.

After Liu Xiu returned to his house, Lu Zhi raised his eyelids. Liu Xiu exchanged a look with him, shook his head calmly, and whispered a few words in his ear. Lu Zhi's face froze, he sighed a long time, and patted Liu Xiu's hand: "I'll wait for you."

"Sir, please go back first. I will go to see you whenever I have time."

Lu Zhi got up and went back to the house. Liu Xiu continued to joke with his family. Without Lu Zhi, the atmosphere at home became obviously relaxed. Liu Xie and Liu He circled around Liu Xiu, chatting non-stop. Liu Xiu held one in one hand, kissing this one and then kissing that one, smiling from ear to ear.

Wang Chu pulled Fengxue to the side, looked Fengxue up and down, and asked jokingly: "How are you practicing your room skills?"

Fengxue blushed and her voice was as low as a mosquito: "The Xianbei has been broken, and the king has also been defeated. My husband said it is meaningless to practice the art of room or not, so..."

"So he didn't practice it, so you let him get stuck?" Wang Chu chuckled, "What a pity?"

"Not that." Feng Xue couldn't help but retort: ​​"Madam Lu said that it's full of energy, and it's not good to hold it in for a long time..." As soon as she said that, she felt embarrassed again, and hurriedly stopped her mouth and looked at the eldest princess for help. The eldest princess gave Wang Chu a blank look, pulled Feng Xue over, and said repeatedly: "Yes, what kind of room skills are practiced? It's a big deal to add more children to your husband. I'm a little surprised. If you want to have a child, what color should this hair be, and who do you look like?"

"Hehe, the queen said that His Majesty summoned his husband back this time and wanted him to stay in Luoyang for a while. Not only will the wind and snow be caught, but the eldest princess also needs to step up."

"You can talk, don't you think?" The eldest princess whispered him, then blushed and cared for him: "I tell you, my husband's injury has not healed yet, so you can't be too greedy."

Wang Chu and Fengxue were embarrassed and lowered their heads embarrassedly. The eldest princess felt a little embarrassed and didn't say it any more. It was just that everyone knew each other's intentions. Everyone wanted to give birth to a son in front of others, but no one was willing to say it out loud.

After a long period of lively, it finally calmed down. Liu Xiu hid on the bed and looked at the bottom of the tent. Although there were a lot of ice cubes in the room and a few maids were fanning, he still felt uneasy. What the emperor said to him in Ping Leguan lingered in his ears, making him frightened and faintly expectant. The conflicting mentality made him a little unconscious and did not notice the princess who was climbing onto the bed in small clothes and underwear.

"Husband, what's wrong?" The eldest princess's face became a little hot, she snuggled in Liu Xiu's arms and gently pushed him.

"Oh, nothing." Liu Xiu laughed concealedly. The plans he hid in his heart could not be known to others, even the wives and concubines at home, especially the eldest princess, and she could not see the clues. "The emperor is extremely favored, I feel a little overwhelmed, and I am thinking about how to repay His Majesty. However, now I will repay the eldest princess for me first."

The eldest princess laughed, pressed Liu Xiu who was turning over, sat up, crossed Liu Xiu's body, and took off her small clothes and covered Liu Xiu's head. Liu Xiu was about to take the small clothes away and take a good look at the eldest princess' figure, but the eldest princess held his hand and said shyly: "Don't look at me."

"Oh, why?" Liu Xiu stopped moving his hands, but he refused to be idle: "As the saying goes, beautiful scenery is good, and beautiful scenery is not something you can see, isn't it a pity?"

"I won't let you see it. I'm embarrassed to look at me." The eldest princess smiled and gently stroked Liu Xiu's chest with her hands, slowly sliding down. Liu Xiu felt a burst of tightness and was enjoying it. Suddenly she felt a little strange. This seemed to be the massage technique taught by Mrs. Lu. When did the eldest princess learn it?

"What's the matter? There are so many like this in the palace." The eldest princess chuckled softly: "Recently, His Majesty has selected several secretaries from Lantai to give to the queen, but the queen is not interested. I found it quite interesting, so I learned a few skills to serve my husband. Husband, have I learned well?"

Liu Xiu grinned, feeling a little surprised. The emperor found such a book for the queen to read, but the queen was not interested. Did she feel that everything would be fine if she had a legitimate son? He was about to ask the eldest princess how the relationship between the queen and His Majesty was recently, but suddenly he felt a different kind of warmth and moistness. He raised his upper body and saw that the eldest princess was lying on his legs with a thin quilt, and his head was hiding under the thin quilt and was rising and falling. Although the movements were not skillful enough, the different style was even more exciting. The pleasure was like waves, and bursts of waves came, making his flesh and blood numb.

This is the noble eldest princess, she actually learned this secret technique in the room? Liu Xiu's mind was a little confused for a moment. He looked at him blankly. The eldest princess seemed to feel his emotions. She sat up against the thin quilt, leaned on his chest and laughed, slowly shook her body, swallowed Liu Xiu in, raised her head, and let out a ** moan. (To be continued)!!!
