Diao Chan, who entered Wang Yun's mansion since she was a child, learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing skills, and even learned some rudimentary swordsmanship. As she grew older, she seemed to have shown her alluring appearance. Although she was only a singer, in the

The life in the mansion is no different from that of the young lady.

Wang Yun also valued it quite a lot - although I don't know whether this emphasis was because the old guy wanted to wait for two years for it to mature before enjoying it for himself, or was it used as a bargaining chip to win over other powerful officials in the court?

According to Liu Xuan's speculation, the most likely thing that will happen is that Wang Yun uses Diao Chan to win over Lu Bu - Lu Bu is the most powerful official in the current dynasty. Although Lu Bu does not speak much in the court and is not very involved in political affairs.

The military power in the hands of Lu Bu was the most powerful force in Chang'an, and Wang Yun felt that he was quite prestigious in the court. If the two of them united, they could become the most powerful force in Chang'an.

Although Wang Yun never thought about monopolizing power like Dong Zhuo, and he even hoped that the Han Dynasty could be revived, he hoped that the Han Dynasty would be revived in his own hands, and the emperor could just sit back and watch, and there was no need to get too involved.

many.

And Liu Xuan knew how lethal Diao Chan was to Lu Bu - he took advantage of the little girl not growing up at this time, so he came over directly and completely defeated Wang Yun's move, otherwise when Diao Chan really and Lu Bu were in love

If you fail, no matter what you do then there will be no good results.

Wang Yun naturally didn't know that Liu Xuan came to him for Diaochan to prevent Wang Yun from hooking up with Lu Bu. He was now wondering where the emperor learned about such a woman in his palace.

"Could it be that we met occasionally on the way to Chang'an?"

After thinking about it, it seems that this is the only possibility. Diao Chan has been raised in his house since he was a child and has never gone out on weekdays. In addition, Diao Chan is still young at this time and has not shown her face in front of guests.

Except for a few three or five close friends, only a handful of people knew that there was such a singer in his house.

Therefore, the only possibility is that the emperor accidentally caught a glimpse of Diao Chan when he came to Chang'an, and then asked someone to inquire and learned Diao Chan's name.

When Wang Yun came out of the palace, he had a grimace on his face, saying that the hard work of more than ten years was in vain, but after leaving the battle, he began to try to think of the good things.

"Diao Chan is favored by the emperor, so it's not entirely a bad thing."

He cultivated Diao Chan with the intention of winning over someone in the court. Considering that the most powerful person in the court today is the emperor, if he can gain more respect from the emperor, it will not be a waste of more than ten years of hard work.

.

As for whether the emperor would be addicted to beauty, he didn't care. Putting aside the fact that it was not the ministers' turn to interfere in the private affairs of the Han Dynasty emperor, even if the emperor was really addicted to women, it would not be a bad thing.

The emperor was busy having fun with his concubines, but someone had to handle the important affairs of the court, right? The emperor had less time to deal with the affairs of the court, so the three princes would naturally take over more affairs of the state.

Nowadays, the one with the ultimate prestige among the three princes is himself, so it is not impossible to take advantage of this and become the de facto prime minister.

After thinking about it this way, my sadness faded a lot, but I was still a little unhappy. Naturally, I couldn't feel happy when I got home, and I even ate less food than usual.

Unexpectedly, a friend came to visit at this time, so he couldn't help asking. Wang Yun didn't say much, but simply said: "The emperor heard that a singer in my palace asked me for something."

The man was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He didn't expect that this was the case. He thought to himself: "Why do you want to ask for a singer? Could it be that Wang Situ is particularly fond of a singer?" But it's hard to say this directly.

, had to respond: "How can your Majesty be so ridiculous? He actually asked the ministers for a woman? Could it be that he wants to imitate Shang Zhou and Xia Jie?"

Wang Yun didn't expect that his friend would say such a thing as soon as he opened his mouth. He was so frightened that he trembled and hurriedly said: "Be careful what you say!"

The man also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he stopped talking. But he didn't know what happened, but this matter actually spread. Wang Yun was naturally furious and scolded the maids and slaves in the palace.

After a while, they even drove several servants out of Situ's mansion.

Even the guests who came to Wang Yun's house that day were so frightened that they couldn't eat for several days. In the end, they were so frightened that they couldn't bear it any more, so they secretly left Chang'an with their family members, not even serving as officials.

But even though this man left, the matter still spread in Chang'an City. Although many scholars and ministers could not comment on the emperor's private life, private discussions were inevitable. There would always be some people who said that the emperor's move was too ridiculous.

, some people are even thinking about whether to write a letter to reprimand the emperor?

No matter what their plans were, although the ministers of the Han Dynasty could not criticize the emperor's private life, it was a normal time and the world was peaceful. It was just nonsense for you, the emperor, to act nonsense. Anyway, as long as the important affairs of the court were not delayed.

But what is the situation now? Although it is not said that the fall of the dynasty is imminent, the trend of chaos in the world has been revealed. The princes from all over the country have supported their own troops. Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung Allied Forces are fighting fiercely in the east, but there is no substantial progress.

The imperial decrees could only be circulated near Chang'an City. If Lu Bu and Cao Cao's armies had not occupied the surrounding counties, the so-called imperial decrees might not have even been transmitted to Chang'an. In this case, the emperor did not want to clean up the government and pacify the place.

Weakened the power of the princes everywhere, but indulged in women's sex. If you don't rebuke them now, what are you waiting for?

As for the suggestion to rebuke the emperor, it is not without precedent in the Han Dynasty. In fact, there were no taboos at all when Han Dynasty officials wrote letters to the emperor. They were willing to say whatever they wanted. It's just that your ministers can do whatever they want, and so can the emperor - you let me

I'm really unhappy that I cut you off and there's nothing to say.

Moreover, rebuking the emperor can also gain a reputation. Whether the emperor is angry or focuses on political affairs, he will never mention the person who wrote the letter in the future. The only thing to worry about is the degree of the reprimand - it is not good to go too far, after all.

Everyone is just asking for fame, and it is useless to be famous even if they really lose their lives.

Therefore, although this group of scholars made a lot of noise, the legendary memorial to rebuke the emperor was still missing.

Even Liu Xuan was eagerly waiting for the memorial, wanting to see what these scholars could write. Unfortunately, the thunder was loud and the rain was light. After waiting for a long time, the memorial was not mentioned, and there was not even a piece of paper.

"Your Majesty must still be diligent in political affairs. After all, the current situation is not as good as in the past."

Perhaps because he had really crossed that threshold, Cai Yan was finally able to communicate with Liu Xuan normally. Although he was still very strict when speaking, he finally lost his restraint, which was a big improvement.

On this day, Liu Xuan left Jinhua Palace and walked around the palace with Cai Yan. Now that he has lived in Chang'an for nearly two months, many palaces have been initially repaired, unlike before where there were only a few places.

can see.

Today's Chang'an Imperial City, not to mention other palaces, Weiyang Palace has once again shown the grandeur of the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xuan simply called Cai Yan to accompany him around, so he could relax.

Looking back at Cai Yan, he saw that this girl's slightly childish face was full of seriousness, as if she wanted to put on a serious expression, but in Liu Xuan's eyes, this expression was a bit funny.

"Of course I understand these things."

Looking slightly sideways, standing next to Cai Yan was a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she was called a little girl, apart from her face, it could be seen that she was not very old, but her figure was

There is no difference between him and Cai Yan. There is no difference between what he should have and what he should not have.

In addition, this girl seemed to have a naturally charming temperament. Liu Xuan just glanced at her, and with his determination, he almost wanted to eat her until all the bones were left.

He took a gentle breath and calmed down. The little girl in front of him was actually the trigger of this incident. Liu Xuan specially begged Diao Chan from Wang Yun's house.

According to the customs at this time, Diao Chan is just fourteen this year, but according to Liu Xuan's habits, because she has not celebrated her birthday yet, Diao Chan is only considered to be twelve years old at this time, and she will not be thirteen until her birthday. The real thing can only be seen but not

Eating age.

Now she was just a maid in the palace. After Liu Xuan asked her to come, she also wanted to find a chat companion for Cai Yan, so she was directly arranged to serve Cai Yan.

This is already a great treatment for Diao Chan. You must know that she is just a singer after all. Even though she has been valued by Wang Yun since she was a child, her status is still not high. To some extent, she is even worse than some poor people.

Home girl.

Girls entering the palace must be from good families. It would be impossible for a girl like Diao Chan to enter the palace without the emperor's personal edict.

What's more, Diao Chan has become Cai Yan's personal maid. Cai Yan is now a nobleman, and may be the queen of the Han Dynasty in the future. By then, Diao Chan's status as a personal maid will also rise. If the emperor is lucky, she will be born.

The next one is a man and a woman, and with the queen taking care of him, it is not impossible for him to directly seek a noble status.

After walking to a stone pavilion and sitting down, Liu Xuan first looked around at the scenery, and then said to Cai Yan: "I have been busy for more than a month, and I finally have some leisure. Let's eat here today."

Naturally, Cai Yan would not object, and directly asked the maid to bring the food. The two sat there eating, admiring the scenery of Shang's early spring, chatting casually, and then walked around a few times before returning to the area.

The announcement room was separated - Liu Xuan went to the study to handle government affairs, while Cai Yan took Diao Chan back to the palace, waiting for Liu Xuan to come back and sleep after he was done.

As soon as he sat down in the study, Liu Xuan felt refreshed. Although there was nothing particularly worrying these days, things came one after another, which made him feel a little irritated. After relaxing today, he felt much better.

However, this kind of life can only be lived occasionally, and there are still many serious things to do at the moment. I took out the Emperor's Seal among the six seals, and then dragged it in front of Dantian with both hands, using the dragon energy in the Emperor's Seal to interact with the dragon in my body.

The Qi resonates and is tempered.

The Emperor's Seal was used by the emperor to serve the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. In other words, this seal was often used during sacrifices. If it was used as a magic weapon, casting spells would naturally get twice the result with half the effort, so Liu Xuan chose the Emperor's Seal to be the first to perform the ritual.

Sacrifice.

This has been going on for half a year since he obtained the Six Seals, and now he is only one step away from success. Even if the Scarlet Sky Sword is destroyed by then, he will not be without the ability to protect himself.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the Emperor's Seal in his hand flash suddenly, and then a golden dragon as thick as a finger appeared and disappeared. Liu Xuan saw it, holding the Jade Seal in his palm with one hand, and then a thought came to his mind, and he saw the Emperor's Seal slightly open.

With a flicker of light, it slowly floated in the palm of my hand.

"It's done!"
