The extraordinarily soft pink color gave the emperor and queen sleeping here a feeling of rising through the ranks.

but…

That night, the emperor Liu Xie and the queen Fu Shou could not even think of doing the most embarrassing thing.

Not in the mood...

Compared to this, Emperor Liu Xie and Queen Fu Shou were undoubtedly more concerned about the emperor's majesty and the court's prestige... They even had to secretly establish their own power.

The first thing to do is to win over a group of people...

"My father, General Fu Wan, who protects the country, is loyal to your majesty. Your majesty's father-in-law, general Dong Cheng, is also firmly on your majesty's side. In addition, Taiwei Yang Biaoshi is also trustworthy for his favor with Han."

…besides…"

Queen Fushou mentioned every name, and in her eyes... the emperor Liu Xie was someone she could win over.

Although Cao Cao is now quite trusted by the emperor and the court, he can be prepared for a rainy day...

The situation the emperor has suffered over the past many years has made him realize that strength is the last word, and it is crucial to win over a group of reliable ministers.

As for this candidate, the old ministers of the Han Dynasty are certainly one of them, but... being in Xudu, they do not have much power, and the help they can provide is limited. Calculating this... they must win over a group of people around Cao Cao, and

...someone who might be able to win over.

"Xun Yu, Xun You are Cao Cao's valued advisors. Your Majesty can try to get close to them and find out what they are all about! Besides..."

Queen Fushou's eyes kept moving...

She was thinking about who else could be used by Hanting?

Can be used by the emperor!

The most important thing is military power...military power.

Suddenly, Fu Shou seemed to have thought of a name...

Her eyes suddenly opened and her spirit was lifted.

"There is another person...he...if he can be adopted by your majesty and supported by your majesty and officials, maybe...maybe he can cultivate a force in the court that is not weaker than Cao Cao, and can compete with Cao Cao in the future..."

Hmm…

Do you want to fight against each other?

Queen Fu blurted out these words...

Emperor Liu Xie's eyes suddenly opened.

More than 400 years of experience in the Han Dynasty told him that if the imperial power was to be stable, the powerful ministers in the court must have checks and balances.

For example, when his father, Emperor Ling, was in power, he was very sensual, sold his official position, and was plagued by party corruption...

But after careful calculation, there was never any turmoil in the court during his lifetime... The so-called court is as stable as Mount Tai, no matter how cholera is raging in the world!

The reason for this lies in the checks and balances of the Ling Emperor. While giving great power to the eunuchs... he also made important use of his relatives!

The ten permanent servants, headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and his relative He Jin stood in the same court, and Emperor Ling could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, as secure as Mount Tai.

To put it bluntly, it was not only Emperor Ling who ordered the palace maids to wear crotchless pants, but he ordered the palace ladies and concubines not to wear pants. Who dares to say no?

On the contrary…

If one family dominates the court, it will definitely lead to the decline of imperial power. There are countless vivid examples in history, and we can still remember it vividly!

"The Queen is right..." Emperor Liu Xie also cheered up, "If Cao Cao's family dominates the court, then with the increase of his territory and the strength of his troops, other thoughts will inevitably arise..."

"But if there is someone in the court who can stand up to him and fight against each other, our big man, my position as emperor will be as secure as a rock, but..."

At the end of the sentence, Emperor Liu Xie hesitated...

Now... living in Xudu, how easy is it to cultivate someone who can compete with Cao Cao?

To put it bluntly, apart from the Cao family and the Xiahou family, who else has military power now?

The candidate mentioned by the Queen...most likely...

Thinking of this, Emperor Liu Xie sighed and did not continue.

But... Fu Shou read out his name directly, and it was precisely this name that made Emperor Liu Xie's eyes sparkle with dazzling light.

"Your Majesty... Lu Yu, the shogunate's meritorious officer, is the commander of the Long Xiao Camp! He is young and has a clean background. The Long Xiao Camp he holds is the most courageous soldier in Cao's camp... If... Your Majesty can win over him... then..."

The innocence in Fu Shou's words means that Lu Yu and Cao Cao are not related by blood, and their family connections, judging from their life experience, make them candidates for wining over!

At this point, Fu Shou paused and continued:

"Your Majesty, I heard from my father that the reason why Cao Cao was able to march westward to Luoyang to welcome Your Majesty was all Lu Yu's plan! Including the coordination and planning in the process, it cannot be separated from him.

Isn’t it related at all... Your Majesty also suspects that this son is related to Yinlin, who disappeared from the Han Dynasty two years ago?"

"...Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Yuedan Ping once said - He who has Yinlin can bring peace to the world!"

Huo…

Fu Shou's last sentence, "He who obtains Yinlin can bring peace to the world" was exactly what Emperor Liu Xie subconsciously thought of.

It had only been a day since he entered Xudu, and he had already heard many legends about Lu Yu. It seemed that... Cao Cao was able to snatch him, the emperor, from the hands of various warlords so smoothly... Lu Yu's plan was crucial.

And...if he is really Yinlin, then...it's not a question of whether to fight for it or not, it's a matter of...must bring Yinlin into the imperial court!

Even in Liu Xie's view, the person who could help him support the Han Dynasty was not Cao Cao at all, but Yin Lin, who "pacified the world"!

The words that came out of the Moon's Day Commentary are: "If you gain Yinlin, you can bring peace to the world."

...The current emperor Liu Xie would rather believe that he has it, and this is the last straw he can grasp.

call…

Liu Xie took a long breath and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What the Queen said is absolutely true, and I think so too... But the top priority... How can I win over him? Doesn't the Queen hear... Tomorrow morning, it will be Cao Cao who invites the Han Dynasty to rank as a hundred officials... Is Lu Yu so important? He

How could Cao Cao not invite him to serve, increase his rank, and entrust him with important responsibilities?"

"Tomorrow's morning court meeting is your Majesty's opportunity to show your good will!"

Before Emperor Liu Xie could finish speaking, Fu Shou interrupted directly. "Cao Cao can grant Lu Yu a reward, and so can your Majesty... If Cao Cao grants Lu Yu an ordinary official position, then Your Majesty will grant him the title of Nine Ministers. If Cao Cao

The one who performs the performance is Jiu Qing. Your Majesty can also make an exception and make him one of the three princes... All the old officials of the Han Dynasty are on your Majesty's side, so they will definitely not object! Cao Cao will not object even more! This is your Majesty's heavenly grace!"

Speaking of this, Fu Shou paused for a moment. "Lu Yu has made such a great contribution when he welcomed His Majesty. This reward is not an exaggeration, but it just... can make him feel His Majesty's kindness. Such a reward...

In this way, it will be natural for Your Majesty to win over him again in the future..."

Huo…

Emperor Liu Xie's eyes narrowed.

He thought slightly for a moment...

Immediately afterwards…

"Okay, okay, okay!" With three good words in a row, the corners of Liu Xie's mouth raised, and a wistful smile was about to come out...

"The queen still wins my heart... Haha, okay... I will focus on awarding Lu Yu. Firstly, it can show my good intentions. Secondly... even if Cao Cao is suspicious of this Lu Yu, it will be a clever strategy! When the time comes,

, if I continue to win over and support him, it will be a matter of course!"

As soon as this statement came out...

Queen Fushou nodded.

Just at the stall where he was nodding, a strand of white hair was seen by the Emperor Liu Xie. His face suddenly changed and he looked extremely caring. "Queen? Why do you have white hair?"

"Oh... I guess it's because I haven't slept recently, okay?" Queen Fushou casually made up a reason.

In fact...she was very tired along the way. She was thinking about the emperor and the Han court all the time...

Whether it’s to prepare for a rainy day or nip it in the bud…

She worries much more than Liu Xie!

As for this white hair, she didn't sleep well. For several days in a row, even when she closed her eyes, her mind was still racing... she couldn't sleep!

Who would have thought that in these troubled times, it would be difficult to be the emperor, but how easy would it be to be the queen?

…

…

Dong Dong…

Dawn is approaching, accompanied by the solemn sound of chimes. After two years, the Han Dynasty finally ushered in its morning court again.

Boom…

The ancient chimes kept ringing.

Deep and steady!

People say that "bells ringing and cauldrons ringing for food" is the symbol of a wealthy home. For example, like a big bell, the more wealth, the higher the status, the higher the position, the deeper and more stable the sound!

Boom…
