Chapter 4 Imperial Brother Imperial Brother

Lu Zhi shook his head secretly, thinking that it would be strange if he was relieved. Comparing Emperor Ling and Liu Xie in front of him, the sadness of the world was mixed. The sadness was constant, the incompetent spirit was injustice, and the suffering of the people caused the chaos in today's chaos; the joy was that Liu Xie came from heaven, and it was really that the heaven would not destroy the Han Dynasty!

The four of them discussed everything in the palace, and Lu Zhi recruited useful talents on behalf of Liu Xie, and Xun Yu arranged for information collection before going to Jingzhou.

Before Lu Zhi left, Liu Xie grabbed him and said, "There are many bandits on the road to Jingzhou. Before I went south, I wanted to recruit an imperial guard to protect the common people. I also wanted to practice martial arts. I asked someone to ask Qingzhou Wang Yue and Jizhou Tong Yuan were both reputable raids. I would like to ask Lu Gong to lead him as a guide. I will ask the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial edict to recruit him tomorrow. At that time, Lu Gong can arrange it at home first."

Lu Zhi nodded and said, "Although your highness is young, your plan is carefully planned. I will establish a branch for your highness."

The next day, Liu Xie discussed the matter of recruiting Wang Yue and Tong Yuan with Empress Dowager Dong, and Empress Dowager Dong said: "I will arrange for someone to go to Qingji for two weeks to transfer them to Beijing."

Liu Xie said: "After I asked them to enter the capital, I lived in the mansion of Shangshu Lu. After Lu Shangshu assisted them in opening a boxing gym in the capital, they summoned people who could fight well, and formed a grandson's imperial guards to prevent the bandits from moving south from taking advantage of the situation."

Queen Mother Dong looked at Liu Xie and said, "The grandson really looks like Emperor Guangwu. She has a profound plan and is comparable to ordinary children. Even ordinary adults are not as far away as you think."

Liu Xie smiled and said, "Everyone is entrusted to the Queen Mother Hong Fu, but when recruiting, there should not be only one person. If they have any successful disciples, they will be recruited to Beijing together."

Queen Mother Dong nodded and said, "Since they are asked to form an imperial guard for you, the more people with high martial arts skills, the better. But you need to give these people generously, so that they can always be loyal to you."

Liu Xie said with a bitter face: "Where can I have money to reward them? I am afraid that I can only rely on Shangshu Lu for the time being."

Empress Dowager Dong frowned coldly and said, "You are wrong. Mr. Lu, you are very accurate. He is upright and firm, loyal to the Han Dynasty, good at fighting and defending. He is the right candidate to serve as the governor of Jingzhou. But he is honest and honest, so where can he get the money to recruit soldiers for you?"

Liu Xie exclaimed and scratched his head, "I don't know what to do with this."

Queen Mother Dong scratched his nose and said, "How can I count on you as a child to think about anything? I have already prepared your father."

Liu Xie was shocked and asked, "Does my father know about this?"

Queen Mother Dong said, "I haven't told him yet, but he will definitely support him when he knows. He has been living with me since childhood. He has been a businessman, valued goodwill and had no ambitions. Today's situation is simply his own fault. Unfortunately, it will make you suffer. Although he is not very smart and likes wine and sex every day, he dare not neglect his ancestors' great cause and hopes that you or that boy Liu Bian will make up for the crisis in the Han Dynasty for him."

Liu Xie said softly, "He is my father, and I will not disappoint him no matter what."

Queen Mother Dong nodded and said, "A few years ago, he planned to make you the crown prince and conferred Liu Bian as the king of Runan. If you are threatened in the capital, Liu Bian can go to Beijing to serve the king at any time. Even if Liu Bian cannot come, he can still keep the blood of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, he is afraid of his relatives, and he is worried about your safety. He has been reluctant to make up his mind. Now you voluntarily go to Jingzhou, and there are eight masters of Xun's family and Lu Zhi who are willing to be loyal. He naturally supports him. I took 30 million yuan and 3,000 kilograms of gold from his private treasury. I will send you to Mr. Lu's mansion tomorrow. Don't worry about these things. After a while, you will explain it clearly to your father. I think he will definitely support it with all his might. Although he has no ambitions, if he does not work hard, if he does not work hard, after his death, how can I have the good attitude to see the ancestors of all generations after his death? How can I have the good attitude to see your grandfather?"

Speaking of sadness, Empress Dowager Dong actually shed tears. She was a woman who helped marry into the Han Dynasty. She had white and clean skin, tall figure and strong personality. Emperor Ling looked similar to her, especially her pupils were light brown, and her pupils were also light brown. Emperor Ling and she had held him as a jewel in her palm for many years and took care of him carefully.

Liu Xie carefully comforted Empress Dowager Dong. After a moment of conversation, Liu Xie fell asleep in Empress Dowager Dong's arms.

A few days later, Zhou Yu and other children of the public began to enter the palace to study with him. Xun You also often went to the palace to teach with his uncle Xun Yu. At this time, Zhou Yu was already twelve years old and very sensible. Before entering the palace, his father Zhou Yi told him everything that the emperor had given him a grace.

Zhou Yu was so smart that he knew that this was the imperial edict of Empress Dowager Dong, and later approved by Emperor Ling. It was obvious that Empress Dowager Dong and Emperor Ling both intended to find an in-house minister for Liu Xie. He spoke to Liu Xie, three-point tests and seven-point compliments, and his size was extremely accurate. Even Xun Yu admired him very much. He told Empress Dowager Dong that this son would be the close minister of His Highness the prince in the future.

Recently, with the acquiescent of Emperor Ling and the full support of Empress Dowager Dong, Liu Xie made great moves. In the capital, the Yuan family, the Yang family, the Sima family, the Zhou family, the Wang family and other famous families all entered the palace to accompany their studies. Later, with the support of Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and others, many of the children in the Imperial Academy called the Imperial Academy to support their studies. When they entered and left, Jian Shuo, the captain of the Eighth Army of Xiyuan, led the army to guard him. Later, under the force of Queen He, the ten-year-old prince Liu Bian also entered the palace to study.

Queen He originally hoped that Liu Bian could make friends with these three future ministers and nine ministers in the Imperial Academy, but unfortunately, the parents of these famous families had such sharp eyes. They all said that this was a sign of Emperor Ling's desire to establish Liu Xie. Although they were afraid of the strength of the He family, they taught their children to make good friends with Liu Xie and not offend Liu Bian.

But these children are so fond of being good at getting along with the weak. Although Liu Xie is young, he is well-versed in poetry, songs, and the Four Books and Five Classics. Compared with Liu Xie, Liu Bian is simply a fool, with a weak personality. Although he is the crown prince, he is quite unpretentious. Although everyone dares not bully Liu Bian, he secretly makes traps for him, which often makes him embarrassed.

After Liu Xie knew that after he had finished his business, this foolish brother would be a puppet for many years on his behalf. He would not miss hunger and often stood up for him. Liu Bian thanked him for his kindness and often sat on his side and studied classics with him. Whenever he didn't understand something, he was embarrassed to ask Lu Zhi and others. Instead, he secretly asked Liu Xie, and Liu Xie also answered everything.

During this period, the two of them had a rapid rise in their emotions, which surprised Lu Zhi and others. They all sighed that Liu Bian respected his teachers and respected the way, respected etiquette and righteousness. If they were to promote peace in Taishi, Liu Bian was the emperor, adhered to the ancestral system to develop rural commerce, and let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment; if they were to use Liu Xie as the general, to expand their territory and expel foreign tribes, they could write a strong story in history, and brothers were sincere and trusted and jointly build the Han Dynasty.

But these two people were born in a chaotic world. The current rebellion of the princes is about to be more powerful than the seven kings in the past. If they choose one of them to protect the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that everyone can only choose Liu Xie.
