Jia Xu was stunned for a moment. He knew that Liu Bian would ask him for advice, but he did not expect Liu Bian to ask for advice so directly.

This is not like the emperor's inquiry, but like a close friend who has known each other for many years. He lacks the etiquette between high and low, but has more trust and intimacy. He has not encountered such a situation for so many years since his debut. Even under Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo has not spoken to him so casually.

Thinking of the emperor digging him from Dong Zhuo's hand, a ripples appeared in his heart, and the heart that was almost dead came alive again.

"Your Majesty, I have three suggestions."

"You said." Liu Bian ordered someone to give him a seat and let Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu sit in front of him and talk. He was not used to tilting his head and felt a sense of pressure, especially when facing people like Zhang Xiu who are more murderous.

For him, letting Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu sit down was to relax himself. But for Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu, the emperor gave him a seat was a great grace. Jia Xu was better, and Zhang Xiu was already at a loss, afraid of making a joke.

After calming down, Jia Xu put forward three suggestions.

First, Yuan Wei was ordered to come forward to investigate the responsibility for the mutiny, especially the death of General He Miao, the chariot and cavalry. Jia Xu had found out that He Miao died at the hands of Wu Kuang, and Wu Kuang was nominally a subordinate of General He Jin, but in fact he was a supporter of the Yuan family. He asked Yuan Wei to investigate this matter and forced them to deal with Wu Kuang and break his own hands.

Secondly, the prestigious, loyal and reliable ministers such as Lu Zhi, Yang Biao were appointed to take over the power gap left by General He Jin after his death to avoid being seized by the Yuan family.

Finally, he used Yuan Shu to burn Zhuqueque and Jiulongmen to dismiss his general Hu Ben and regain some military power. He weakened the Yuan family's control over the Northern and Southern Army, and at least he first took back the control of the Southern Army, that is, Hu Ben Lang and Yu Linlang, to ensure the safety of the palace.

The three opinions put forward by Jia Xu were beyond Liu Bian's understanding. Compared with the Ding Yuan team that he was worried about, they were actually only part of the last of Jia Xu's three suggestions. It can be seen that Jia Xu's vision is much higher than that of Liu Bian and the issues he considered are much more comprehensive.

Liu Bian was very happy and nodded repeatedly. However, he was not idle either, but started to think. A smart person like Jia Xu would not assist a fool. He was also in danger. If he had no opinion, God knew when he would be sold.

He carefully considered Jia Xu's words and found that Jia Xu had missed someone: Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo is his biggest reliance now, and he is Jia Xu's former master, but he did not mention how to reward Dong Zhuo. Isn't that strange?

"Mr. Dong made great achievements in combat, and this time he has made great contributions to protecting the emperor. With Wenhe's opinion, it would be great to use Dong as the Grand Marshal?"

A hint of joy flashed through Jia Xu's eyes, and he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhang Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief. What they were most worried about now was how the emperor rewarded Dong Zhuo. The emperor dug them from Dong Zhuo's command. If the emperor rewarded Dong Zhuo heavily, Dong Zhuo would think that this was because they made suggestions in front of the emperor, and would think that it was right to recommend them to guard the emperor. If the emperor did not reward Dong Zhuo, over time, Dong Zhuo would definitely have ideas and even vent his anger on them.

Dong Zhuo was suddenly promoted from the governor of the state to the Taiwei, the leader of the three dukes. The reward must be rich enough to satisfy him. More importantly, with the title of Taiwei, he could stay in Luoyang openly, and the people of Xiliang had the confidence to speak.

Seeing Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu's faces, Liu Bian felt relieved and asked, "Zizhang, have you heard of Lu Bu?"

Zhang Xiu laughed and bowed and said, "Even though Lu Bu is a person, I have heard of it."

"How about your martial arts compared to him?"

Zhang Xiu was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while: "I am not sure."

Liu Bian laughed in his heart, thinking that he was not sure, he could not beat it. He didn't point it out and asked: "The situation is difficult now. Ding Yuan and Lu Bu still don't know if they can be loyal to the court. I not only need your loyalty, but also your ability. Think about it, how can you improve your martial arts as soon as possible?"

Zhang Xiu was happy and blurted out: "Your Majesty, I am a martial artist. If you want to improve your martial arts, in addition to the guidance of famous teachers and hard practice, the fastest way is to have a BMW magic weapon. If Your Majesty can..."

"Yeah!" Jia Xu coughed, Zhang Xiu suddenly realized, quickly closed his mouth and smiled embarrassedly.

Liu Bian understood that Zhang Xiu was asking for rewards. However, he had this intention. Jia Xu was a counselor, and he asked for the trust of the monarch so that he could have room for development. Zhang Xiu was a warrior, and of course he wanted was a BMW magic weapon to make his force stronger.

"Although there are no dragon horses like Red Rabbit in the palace, there are also some good horses. You will pick two later. As for the magical weapons, there are some in the palace, and maybe you can use them. After choosing the horse, let's take a look and pick one you can choose."

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Zhang Xiu's voice trembled with excitement. "I am willing to work hard for Your Majesty, and I will die without hesitation."

Liu Biancai didn't believe these nonsense, but he really needed to win over Zhang Xiu and others now, and his life could be held in their hands.

Time was tight, so I did it as soon as possible. Liu Bian took over, accompanied by Wang Yue, Shi A, Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu, and came to the stable first. When Emperor Ling was alive, he always wanted to reorganize the new army and fight against He Jin, Yuan Shao and others, so he prepared many good horses, called stable horses. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he transferred a lot for military use, and now some were used as suburban sacrifices, with only a hundred horses.

For horses in suburban sacrifices, horse breeds are of course the best. The feedings are all fine materials. They are fat and strong, and they look good at first sight. Zhang Xiu was moved at first sight. He chose a lot of choices and chose two horses, which made him so happy that he couldn't stop.

Liu Bian smiled and said, "Wenhe also picked a horse for transportation."

Jia Xu was not polite either. He went up to pick one, but it was not the best or the worst.

"Wenhe, why don't you choose a better one?" Zhang Xiu was puzzled.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I am different from you. My martial arts skills are too poor and I can't go on the battlefield to kill the enemy. No matter how good the horse is, it is useless to me. A good horse will be left to warriors like you, who will gallop on the battlefield in the future and serve His Majesty."

Zhang Xiu laughed, nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing.

After picking the horses, Liu Bian led them to the arsenal of the palace. The national arsenal was in the northeast corner of Luoyang City, storing batches of weapons for military use in the north and south. The small arsenal of the palace stored weapons used by doctors in the palace, and also collected some ancient weapons. Liu Bian now needs Zhang Xiu's loyalty, so of course he had to take out some weight, so he took them directly to the secret pavilion where the late emperor collected ancient weapons.

As soon as one foot stepped into the threshold, Zhang Xiu suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, his teeth tightly bit, and he stumbled backwards, his body slightly slumped, like a tiger, and his murderous aura enveloped his whole body. When Wang Yue and Shi A saw it, he subconsciously pressed the sword to protect Liu Bian. Liu Bian was also startled, and Jia Xu frowned: "Zizhang, what's wrong?"

"There are magic weapons!" Zhang Xiu slowly relaxed, and his teeth still clattered: "I just stimulated my body protection energy."
