After the news was sent, all Liu Xuan had to do was wait for Huang Zhong's reply in Chang'an. During this period, he didn't pay much attention to the situation in Jingzhou. In comparison, the war in Hebei attracted more attention.

Not only Liu Xuan is concerned, but among the most famous princes in the world, which one is not looking at Hebei? As long as this battle is over, the situation in the world will basically be clear.

In fact, even without waiting until the war, the current situation is clear enough, and the world today is basically divided into several forces.

Tianshi Dao from most counties in Dongchuan and Xichuan, and Liu Yan who stayed firmly in the Chengdu area.

Yuan Shu, Zhang Ji and others in northern Jingzhou and western Yuzhou.

Liu Biao occupied most of Jingzhou's territory.

Sun Ce occupied Yangzhou.

Yuan Shao unified the four states of Hebei.

Gongsun Du of Liao Dynasty - this guy is basically ignored.

And, it occupies the Central Plains and the northwest region, and also occupies the imperial court with the name of orthodoxy.

There is no Gongsun Zan's name on this list, which shows that Gongsun Zan's demise is almost everyone's consensus. The only variable is whether the white horse general can survive this year.

Most people are not sure about this. Only Liu Xuan, who got first-hand information through Liu Bei, can say that Gongsun Zan will not survive this year.

At present, Gongsun Zan's main force is hoarded near Peiping, and is retreating step by step under the pressure of Yuan Shao's army. In addition to most of the main cavalry force being annihilated by Qu Yi's Xianden camp, the rest are used to deal with Wuhuan in the north.

Faced with this situation, Gongsun Zan could not come up with any effective way to deal with it. Liu Bei even directly asserted in the message: "This autumn, the battle of Hebei will be won or lost!"

Liu Xuan asked Liu Bei to prepare to withdraw to Chang'an, and at the same time asked Zhang Liao to be on standby so that he could set out to meet Liu Bei and his party at any time.

Now it is certain that once Liu Bei comes back, he will definitely bring many people with him.

In addition to Gongsun Zan himself, his wife and children, there will also be some close associates including Zhao Yun.

These people don't seem to be many, but with Yuan Shao's troops and horses everywhere in Hebei, it is not easy to escape smoothly from Hebei.

The only thing he can rely on is Liu Bei's personal strength that is beyond the level of ordinary people.

Male and female double swords paired with specially tempered armor... In order to prevent Liu Bei from having no dragon energy to borrow in Hebei, Liu Xuan also made some preparations in advance to ensure that Liu Bei could exert sufficient strength when needed.

With so many insurances, Liu Xuan did not believe that something would happen to Liu Bei again. Perhaps the only thing he was not sure about was whether Gongsun Zan and his group could all escape safely.

"It's useless to think too much, just wait with peace of mind!"

In this state of mind, what Liu Xuan has to do every day is to chat with the two women in the palace, talk about love and so on, and occasionally deal with some trivial matters.

Nowadays, all places have fallen into a period of relative calm.

Tianshi Dao was forced to stop its expansion after occupying half of Xichuan. Because the expansion during this period was too fierce, they had a bit of indigestion.

Zhang Lu was consolidating his current territory, and Liu Yan could finally breathe a sigh of relief in this rare opportunity - the only surprise was that he didn't catch his breath, and he died directly, leaving this mess behind.

His own son Liu Zhang.

Without the external pressure of the Yellow Turbans, Sun Ce, who ruled Yangzhou, no longer had the same internal support as before. In order to stabilize his rule, Sun Ce implemented very tough measures in Yangzhou, and even brought down the Lu family of Jiangdong.

He was killed and almost wiped out.

This thunderous method really shocked many people, and it also gave Sun Ce time to develop his strength. Now Sun Ce is training troops and horses in Jiangdong, and recruiting talents. Everyone can see that the Yangtze River Basin will no longer be what it used to be.

It has been a peaceful paradise for many years.

As for Liu Biao of Jingzhou... Rather than saying that Liu Biao is the master of Jingzhou, it is better to say that those aristocratic families are the real masters of Jingzhou. They control everything in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao is just a decoration they support.

This can be seen from the fact that none of the imperial decrees were implemented in Jingzhou.

Today's Jingzhou, although still nominally under the rule of the imperial court, is basically a country within a country. This situation became more obvious after Liu Xuan killed Kong Rong a while ago. Now Liu Xuan is eager for Sun Ce to quickly go to war with Liu Biao

, take care of all the troubles in Jingzhou, so that he can avoid a lot of trouble after taking back Jingzhou.

Because of this situation, there were no major issues that needed to be resolved in the imperial court. The only thing worthy of concern was that after Xun Yue entered the court, Liu Xuan appointed him as a minister. And because of his talent and ability to learn from others and his photographic memory, Liu Xuan

Xuan ordered him to assist Wang Yun in organizing the establishment of Chang'an College.

"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"

Xun Yue is also very satisfied with this job. Teaching and educating people is also the favorite thing of Confucianism, and Confucianism also attaches great importance to education. At the same time, if the affairs of this college are done well, it will also be a feat that can leave a name in the history books.

Xun Yue couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

What's more, Xun Yue was recommended to the court by his younger brother Xun. After seeing the current situation of the Xun family in the court, he also understood what he should do to benefit his family. In comparison, what about Kong Rong?

It can be completely thrown aside.

At the same time, as Xun Yue told Liu Xuan at the beginning, Xun Yue's entry into the court stabilized some scholars, and even the remaining scholars who had great hatred for Liu Xuan did not resent the court - they had already

The imperial court and the emperor were distinguished, thinking that the emperor was the emperor and the imperial court was the imperial court.

Although the emperor is ignorant and cruel, there are still many sensible people in the court, and they believe that as long as they work hard to learn a skill, they can enter the court and work with the talented and virtuous people in the court to persuade the emperor to change his ways, and

Become a wise king and so on...

Although Liu Xuan was still unhappy with this situation, as long as he stabilized these guys, he didn't care about his reputation at this time.

"Succeed as a king and lose as a bandit. A hundred years from now, who will know who you are?"

He can be sure that he will still be sitting here a hundred years from now. As for those guys who are just talking behind the scenes and have no ability at all...

"It's better to wait until Zhen Mi grows up and use them as an official..."

The reason why Zhen Mi comes to mind is that Liu Xuan was visiting the Imperial Academy accompanied by Zhong Ji at this time. In particular, several schools had been re-planned and renovated according to Liu Xuan's original instructions.

A part of the dormitory has been set aside for female students, but this place is still vacant. Zhen Mi is still living in the house arranged for her in Chang'an, while Lu Lingqi has returned to live in her own mansion.

"How many students are there in Taixue?"

"this……"

When asked about this, Zhongji's face became not so pretty, and his speech became a bit stumbling, as if it was difficult to speak.

Seeing him like this, Liu Xuan knew something was wrong: "If there is any situation, it's okay to say it. If you don't tell me, how will you know there is a problem and how will you find a solution?"

Zhongji heard what the emperor said, and then he spoke: "Originally there were 1,137 students in Taixue, but your Majesty... punished 489 of them, and then one after another

Some students continued to leave Taixue, so currently there are only 522 people left in Taixue Academy."

"Five hundred and twenty-two people?"

Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows. He was a little surprised when he heard this number. He guessed that some people would be dissatisfied with Zhen Mi's admission and would leave Taixue, but he did not expect that the number was not as high as

But...just leave. Anyway, it won't be him who regrets it in the future.

"Register all the students who left Taixue!" After a pause, he continued: "During this period, all students who left Taixue on their own will write down their names and relevant information."

Zhongji didn't know why Tiantian wanted the list of these people. However, he nodded and agreed. In his opinion, it must be useful for His Majesty to write down the names of these people.

Sure enough, then he saw the emperor turning around and saying to Xun, the official minister next to him: "From now on, anyone on this list will not be allowed to serve as an official for life, even as a local county official!"

Xun nodded and expressed his understanding very happily. Zhong Ji could only smile bitterly to himself: Today, the emperor is more narrow-minded than he thought. He just left the Imperial Academy and was banned from becoming an official by the emperor. It can be said that

It completely ended the future of this group of people.

Of course, although the situation in the imperial court is much better now, it does not mean that the decree can pass through the place. The group of princes who want to separate the place are still willing to use this group of students who have left. Therefore, the emperor's explicit order will probably not be implemented at this time.

Makes people care too much.

"Should I persuade Your Majesty to withdraw the edict? After all, this edict is not only useless, but it may also lead to some bad words!"

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Xuan striding far away. He had no choice but to follow quickly, and then followed Liu Xuan around the Imperial Academy.

When he reached the outside of the lecture hall, Liu Xuan stopped and looked inside through the window.

Others only thought that the Emperor was looking at the room full of students, but he himself knew that he was simply looking at Zhen Mi who happened to be sitting in the room.

As he was looking around, he heard rapid footsteps coming from behind him. Liu Xuan turned around before waiting for them to walk in.

As soon as he turned around, he immediately saw Zhang Liao striding in, then came to Liu Xuan's side and saluted, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have received the urgent letter from the Jade Talisman. Liu Hujun has started to leave Hebei.

, the people accompanying him include Gongsun Zan’s family and Zhao Yun, a hundred white horse followers.”

Liu Xuan nodded: "Are Yu Linqi ready?"

“Ready to go at any time!”

"Very good, just follow the original plan. If necessary... you can let Yuan Shaoxiao know how powerful he is!"

Hearing what the emperor said, Zhang Liao couldn't help but take a breath: "I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty!"
