Wait, please don't call me Emperor Zhaolie

Chapter 297 Who is Guangwu and who is Weixiao?
While the two were talking, a four-year-old child leaned his hands on the door, half of his head exposed, and looked around. His black eyes rolled around in his sockets, making him look quite smart and energetic.

"Xuan De, is this your son Liu Yong? I remember that when I was appointed to Donglai County, he was only this young. I didn't expect that he has grown so big in the blink of an eye."

Jian Yong's brows were filled with surprise. It was obvious from looking at this child that he was always naughty and mischievous. He should be exactly the same as Xuande when he was a child.

"Come in quickly and let your uncle take a look."

After saying that, he went straight to Liu Yong and greeted him.

Liu Bei naturally saw his eldest son peeping through the door. He felt amused and could not help but remind Jian Yong, "Xianhe, watch your beard and don't prick him, or he will be torn off. Wen Ruo pricked him with his beard several times, and he was almost torn off by the boy."

Unexpectedly, after Liu Bei finished speaking, Jian Yong cried out in pain: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Liu Bei immediately stepped forward and grabbed his boy, spanking him twice before he finally let go.

Jian Yong rubbed his chin, almost crying in pain. He originally wanted to use his beard to tease Liu's child, but he didn't expect that the other party could quickly grab his beard and pull it down hard.

He was forced to bow his head and beg for mercy instantly.

Jian Yong's chin trembled. He lowered his head to carefully check his beard, and made sure that not many hairs had fallen off. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the young child of the Liu family in Liu Bei's arms again, he felt a little scared.

Thinking of his mother, who was also the daughter of the Yin family in Xinye, Nanyang, he murmured softly, "This child is very smart and clever at a young age. I'm afraid he will be like Emperor Xiaoming!"

After Liu Zhuang succeeded to the throne, he followed Guangwu's example and cracked down on the powerful without reservation, even all the meritorious relatives were included in the scope of suppression.

Jian Yong thought that he and Xuande were close friends when they were young, but his relationship with his son was distant.

Twenty or thirty years later, I'm afraid he will have to warn his family members not to act recklessly by relying on his relationship with Xuande. Just because Xuande doesn't care doesn't mean that Xuande's son won't care either.

If some things are overdone, they will become a disaster rather than a blessing.

While Jian Yong was thinking in his heart, Liu Bei had also finished scolding Liu Yong. Finally, he patted his butt and told him to go to his teacher Lu Zhi to continue his education.

"It turns out that Mr. Lu is the elementary school tutor?" A hint of surprise flashed in Jian Yong's eyes.

He had heard in Donglai that Lu Zhi had been in poor health recently, but he didn't expect that he still had the energy to teach the naughty child.

Liu Bei nodded, smiled and said: "The boy is still young now. After two or three years, I will personally take him to my side to teach him and let him accompany me to the army to accompany Fengxiao and Gongda."

Let him have a few more years of happy and interesting childhood, things won’t be so easy later on.

Although he inherited Emperor Gaozu's legacy, the story of Emperor Xiaohui could not be repeated.

Jian Yong couldn't help but click his tongue when he heard this. He didn't expect that Liu Yong would have to endure the hardships of joining the army at such a young age.

But on second thought, this might be a good thing. Xuande wields a three-foot sword and travels across the world. If the eldest son does not have the courage, it would be difficult for him to suppress the gentry, wealthy families and meritorious nobles.

But these are all things for the future. He also has a happy event when he returns to Pingyuan this time, and he wants to share it with Liu Bei. Jian Yong leaned over and said mysteriously in a low voice: "Last year, my concubine in Dongleina gave birth to a son and a daughter for me. Now I have four sons and two daughters. Xuande, although you have many wives and concubines, you still need to work harder."

"Liu Xuande, who has conquered the world, needs to work harder on this matter. He has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he also needs to take into account the friendship of his close friends and not forget other important matters."

"Xuan De, you need to work harder next year. Even if you get up at noon, you should add more heirs to the Han family... Don't just follow your own preferences. There are not so many girls in the world who have not been married for many years. I hope you will think about it carefully."

Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei unmoved and said with a sense of melancholy.

Liu always had some special hobbies, which gave the people under her a headache.

When Liu Bei heard that the other party was deliberately showing off, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Get lost, if you dare to show off in front of me again, I will give your children the surname Liu. No matter how many children you have in this life, they will all have the surname Liu."

Jian Yong's face turned pale and he felt an inexplicable chill down his spine. He actually wanted to end my offspring. How cruel he was.

If you have the guts, give me the surname Liu too!
……

On the eighth day of the first lunar month in the second year of Jian'an, Emperor Liu Xie continued to issue an edict in Chang'an, granting amnesty to the whole country.

Even if the government decrees could not leave Guanzhong, it could not stop the persistence of the three dukes and nine ministers. At least the imperial edicts could still be successfully transmitted to Yongzhou and Liangzhou.

Three years ago, due to another civil uprising in Liangzhou, the four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang were separated. Officials wrote to the emperor requesting the establishment of another province to facilitate governance.

After some deliberation, Li Jue and Guo Si decided to agree, so they asked the officials in the court to issue an edict to establish Yongzhou, and appointed Handan Shang, a native of Chenliu County, as the governor of Yongzhou.

Having personally witnessed the court setting up Yongzhou for the four counties, Yang Xiu, the governor of Hongnong County who had just been selected as a filial and honest official and entered the palace as a doctor, could not help but sigh and say, "This is comparable to the end of the Xinmang Dynasty, when Emperor Gengshi lived in Chang'an. Dou Rong went to Zhangye to serve as a commander, and made close friends with the governors and commanders of the five counties in Hexi. Later, when Guanzhong was in chaos, Dou Rong took advantage of the terrain and led the five counties to establish his own territory, and finally surrendered to Emperor Guangwu."

"If Handan Shang was Dou Rong, who would be Liu Penzi, who would be Wei Xiao, and who would be Guangwu?"

Yang Xiu could only utter such helpless sighs. They, the court officials, were kidnapped by the Liangzhou bandits. Not to mention leaving Guanzhong, even if they wanted to leave the Chang'an city gate, it would be wishful thinking without the permission of Li Jue and Guo Si.

Since last year, countless court officials have been secretly envious of Zhao Qi and his entourage who were detained while on a diplomatic mission to Guandong.

Especially when Liu Xuande defeated Yuan Benchu, who had been a three-generation official for four generations, the news reached Guanzhong and made many ministers close to the Yuan family of Runan stunned and forgot to breathe.

They were still waiting for Yuan Benchu ​​to lead a strong army into Guanzhong, clear out the rebels in the court, and restore stability to the world.

No one expected that Yuan Shao, who had been a prime minister for four generations, would suffer such a tragic defeat. He even died in the escape. Seeing that Hebei was about to fall apart, many officials in the court of Chang'an were gloomy, with the light gone from their eyes, as if the haze above their heads lingered for a long time.

Some officials thought of Wang Li, the Grand Historian who had been imprisoned long ago, and wanted to slap him in the face and then beat him severely.

Didn't people predict by observing the changes in the stars at night that Mars would move, and that the Han Dynasty would be in danger of overthrow, and that kings would rise in the Wei and Jin regions?
How come he was not referring to Yuan Benchu, who occupied the rich land of Hebei and came from a wealthy family? Instead, he was referring to Liu Xuande, who rose from Qingzhou and defeated the Yuan family with his army.

We have waited in vain. This unlearned and unskilled person can also be the Grand Historian.

It would be better to behead him early and let him serve as a warning to others.
