Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 112
Listening to Huo Yi's words, Liu Chan nodded secretly. Cao Pi's many southern expeditions in history were basically in vain.Huo Yi grew up a lot with Zhuge Liang.

Liu Chan nodded and looked at Huo Yi, and said with a smile: "We will wait and see with all the gentlemen."

Guan Xing, who had pondered for a long time, said at this moment: "The country, I think that Cao Pi's southern expedition is not only to defeat Wu, but may have other purposes."

"Guan Qing can speak." Liu Chan heard this and sat upright, beckoning Guan Xing to speak.

Guan Xing pondered for a while, then said slowly: "This is my humble opinion. I wonder if you have discovered that Cao Pi's expedition to Dongwu was through Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and then went south."

Hearing this, Fei Yi, Liao Li, Huo Yi and others were thoughtful.

"I think that Cao Pi's other intention is to deprive the military power of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. When Cao Pi came to the throne, the Qingzhou army mutinied; not long ago, Licheng County mutinied again. The deliberate minister thinks that Cao Pi should have this intention." Guan Xing said, cupping his hands. .

"Good, you gentlemen, if you can see the fire in your eyes, I don't have any worries!" Liu Chan said with emotion.

Everyone discussed a few more words, and then continued to deal with political affairs.

Liu Chan opened the memorial sent by Zhuge Liang from Nanzhong, and after seeing the beginning, his face showed joy.

Zhuge Liang's memorial said: "Nanzhong has been completely pacified, Zhu Bao and Gao Ding have been captured and killed, Meng Huo has surrendered, and he can return to the imperial court in October. ... Change Yizhou County to Jianning County, and divide it into two counties. Move south Zhongjin soldiers and more than ten thousand families of Qingqiang were in Shu, forming five divisions; at the same time, the Nanzhong surnames were also organized into five divisions as captains, and they were combined into an army. This army name should not be used as a flying army."

"At the same time, Meng Huo was appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng; he worshiped Li Hui as General Anhan, granted Han Xingtinghou, and led Jianning County Prefect; Lu Kai led Yunnan Prefect, and granted Yangqianting Marquis... Cuan Xi, Meng Yan, etc. He is an official of the Han Dynasty, and he obeys orders in the army."

Zhuge Liang's memorial was written in mid-September, and it was already October when it was sent to Chengdu. Could it be that Zhuge Liang was already on his way back to court?

Thinking of these, Liu Chan became even more joyful, and read the memorial.Regarding the governance measures and reward list proposed by Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan thought about it and reviewed it one by one.

When it was approved that Yizhou County was renamed Jianning County, Liu Chan stopped the brush in his hand and pondered the reason for the change in his heart.During the reign of Emperor Wu, Yizhou County was placed in front, and Yizhou was placed in the back.

At present, Yizhou is already the name of the state. How can it be named as the name of the county? At the same time, there are many people in China. Because the only place in the Han Dynasty is Yizhou, they call the Han Dynasty Yizhou.In this way, the country, state, and county share the name of "Yizhou" in China at present, what is the system?

Liu Chan wrote and reviewed it, and waited for all the comments to be completed.

Liu Chan picked up the memorial, looked up at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the prime minister has come to report that Nanzhong has been settled. Now the prime minister is on his way home. In the future, Nanzhong will no longer be a disaster for me. Expedition to the north of Cao Wei and recover the Han Dynasty."

After hearing this, everyone in the hall suddenly raised their heads and looked at Liu Chan who was beaming with joy.They stood up and saluted, and said in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

Liu Chan restrained his expression, and said slowly: "My dear family, you can spread this news to the government and the public, and make all the officials happy. At the same time, prepare for the matter of compensation. Nanzhong is difficult, and soldiers are on expeditions. Don't chill the hearts of soldiers."

"No!" Everyone replied in unison.

At dusk, after Liu Chan finished handling government affairs, he returned to the harem to visit Wang Meiren and her newly born eldest son.

"Your Majesty, look, the prince is so handsome! He looks very much like you." Gong'e hugged Liu Sui, with a smile on her lips, and said to Wang Meiren.

"In my servant's opinion, the prince looks more like His Majesty, with His Majesty in his brows." Another petite Gong'e stepped forward and said.

The baby in the swaddle was white and tender, with chubby flesh and unopened facial features, how could he look like Liu Chan.

Naturally, Wang Meiren didn't care about these words, but with a loving face, she warned: "The prince has just fallen asleep, so don't disturb him."

"What's so lively, let me listen to it too." Liu Chan stepped into the hall, no longer facing the majesty of the officials, but very friendly.

But the people in the hall were still frightened and hurriedly saluted.

Wang Meiren was surprised at first, then beamed with joy, and said delicately: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty!"

Liu Chan stepped forward to help Wang Meiren up, and comforted him: "Why are you so obsessed with outsiders?"

Wang Meiren took Liu Chan's arm, lightly parted her cherry lips and said, "Why don't your majesty inform, my concubine is not prepared."

"I'm here to take a look at Sui'er." Liu Chan put his arms around Meiren Wang's waist and smiled lightly.

Gong'e hurriedly carried the prince out, and Liu Chan looked at the swaddling baby, with a chubby face that was rosy in the middle, and its chubby mouth was even more adorable.

Seeing that the baby was asleep, Liu Chan took his baby carefully.For more than a month, Liu Chan has not hugged her many times.

As if feeling Liu Chan's embrace, the baby suddenly opened a pair of dark eyes, kicked his calf slightly, instead of crying, looked at Liu Chan with his small eyes, and laughed again.

Liu Chan's affection grew even stronger, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Liu Chan played in his arms for a while, felt bored, and returned the baby to Gong'e.

Seeing this, Beauty Wang stepped forward to hold Liu Chan's hand, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, she stared at Liu Chan and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine has prepared meals, please Your Majesty to eat."

Liu Chan shook Wang Meiren's slender hand, and said softly, "You and I are together."

Liu Chan took Wang Meiren and knelt down in front of the table, and the maid brought the dishes.

Liu Chan felt ashamed of Wang Meiren, and was attracted by her beautiful dancing posture and pure fairy-like appearance at the banquet, and favored her on impulse.But since Wang Meiren entered the palace, she has favored her a handful of times, but she never thought of giving birth to her eldest son.

Liu Chan asked while eating the pickled vegetables: "Meng'er, who are the relatives in the family?"

Wang Meiren moved the dish to Liu Chan, and said in response: "There is only one elder brother left in the servant's family."

Liu Chan asked curiously: "Why haven't your family members come to visit you since you entered the palace?"

Wang Meng held the food for Liu Chan, and said softly: "The concubine told my elder brother to farm in his hometown and not to enter Chengdu."

Liu Chan stopped his chopsticks, looked at Wang Meng in surprise, lightly shook his jade hand, and said softly, "Meng'er, why is this?"

Beauty Wang lowered her head, opened her red lips, and said in a delicate voice: "The concubine does not know poetry, books, and women's commandments; she can only sing and dance, and pleases the king with sex. But the concubine also heard that the relatives of the Later Han Dynasty were in chaos; it is an old concubine. Order my elder brother to farm and study in the county, and not to do anything wrong."

Liu Chan felt more and more guilty towards Wang Meiren, and said with emotion: "I think the woman is also a learned person, what is uncle doing now?"

Wang Meiren bent her eyelashes and said in a low voice: "My father was illiterate, and his family was poor when he was young. He had to let his concubine go to Chengdu to learn dancing. My brother also went to Wumidao Middle School to learn Taoism. He can read roughly. Now he is a teacher in the county. Small officials too."

Liu Chan held Wang Meiren's jade hand tightly and sighed: "Qing is a beautiful woman, and I should cherish her."
