Chapter 242
Liu Bian found sweet potato seeds in a forest outside Chang'an City, and immediately ordered Cao Cao to lead his troops to plan this place as a royal hunting place, and outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering and leaving. In fact, sweet potato seeds were cultivated secretly, and moved to other places as soon as vines grew.

After returning to the palace, Liu Bian found Tian Feng, and the two sat down. Liu Bian said, "Yuan Hao, I wrote to Chang'an a few days ago and dispatched Yu Yunwen to Qingzhou to handle Qingzhou's military affairs. Therefore, the post of Luoyang Commander is vacant. I plan to let you go back to Luoyang and deal with the affairs of Luoyang City temporarily!"

"Duke Yu went to Qingzhou?" Tian Feng Fuxu asked in surprise.

"Well, I sent Yunwen to Qingzhou to establish Qingzhou Navy with Tai Shici, what do you think?"

"Yu Yunwen is ten times more talented than me. He is resourceful, strategic, and even good at politics! It would be great to have him build and train the navy. But your Majesty is training the navy now to prepare for the future conquest of Wu and Chu?"

"Yes, the navy is different from the infantry and cavalry. Now my power is in Guanzhong and Hebei! The infantry is easy to form an army, and the cavalry can also form an army as long as they fight. But the navy is different. Now only Qingzhou is close to the sea, and there are rivers and lakes. , you can train sailors! If you don’t make preparations early, it will take more than ten years for the navy to form an army if you want to conquer the south in the future!” Liu Bian explained.

Tian Feng nodded approvingly: "Your Majesty has far-sighted thinking, and I admire it, but how to solve the problem with the navy and warships? Northerners are not good at water warfare, and Qingzhou's warships are also difficult to create!"

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way!"

Liu Bian didn't want to say more, obviously he had his secret, Tian Feng didn't ask too much, and said with a smile: "Your Duke Yu built a navy, even if there is no warship, it can be built by skilled craftsmen in a few years, so I can rest assured. .And he can make suggestions in Qingzhou to help Qingzhou defend against Yuan Shao. Haha, I originally wanted to stay in Chang'an for a while and look at this sweet potato. Since your majesty is going to Luoyang, I will leave tomorrow to meet Luoyang!"

"Haha, when the sweet potatoes grow, I will let you taste them first!" Liu Bian also laughed loudly.

In Chang'an, Liu Bian transferred Tian Feng back to Luoyang. As for civil servants, only Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Cao Cao and Wang Meng were left with both civil and military skills. The generals also included Zhu Jun, Gao Changgong, Xue Andu, and Zhao Yun. , Yang Yansi, Yang Miaozhen, and Yang Zaixing who guarded Wuguan.

At the beginning Liu Bian ordered [-] troops to conquer Guanzhong, and after Xue An returned [-] troops, there were still [-] cavalry and [-] infantry in Chang'an.It's just that Yang Zaixing took [-] soldiers and horses to Wuguan, and Xue Andu led [-] soldiers from his own headquarters to guard Hangu Pass.

On the second day, Tian Feng returned to Luoyang, and Gao Changgong's [-] cavalry went back together.And Liu Bian continued to sit in Chang'an, so that other soldiers and horses could be stationed in Chang'an.

A few days after Tian Feng returned to Luoyang, a swordsman in Tsing Yi led more than a hundred people and escorted a carriage to Chang'an, heading straight for the imperial city.

In Liu Bian's study room, a black-clothed scribe, who looked thin, was sitting on his knees, and the blue-clothed swordsman stood behind him.

"My minister, Shi A, has seen Your Majesty!" The swordsman in blue immediately saluted Liu Bian when he saw Liu Bian coming to the study.

Liu Bian smiled and said, "You came to Chang'an and took away a hundred Jinyiwei elites. How is the situation in Luoyang? Will it affect Jinyiwei?"

"The Commander will take care of the overall situation, and I'm just teaching martial arts. These 100 people are harmless!" Shi A laughed awkwardly.

"Sit down, I'll talk to Li Ru!" Liu Bian came to sit down opposite Li Ru, and signaled Shi A to sit down and rest, but Shi A walked behind Liu Bian and stood with a sword.

Liu Bian shook his head and smiled and looked at Li Ru who was facing him. After more than a year of precipitation, Li Ru's eyes were deep and his expression was indifferent, making it impossible to see the details.

"Sir, I'm not curious, why did I let you come to Chang'an?"

"Li Ru should have been sentenced to death, but His Majesty didn't kill me. Didn't he just want to take it for his own use? But aren't you afraid that I will pretend to take refuge in you and avenge my father-in-law?" With Liu Bian.

"You still dare to be presumptuous?" Behind Liu Bian, Shi A pulled out his sword and shouted coldly.

"Ha!" Liu Bian shook his head and smiled, and looked at Li Ru without showing any weakness: "You are a madman, I believe you dare, but I ask you, in today's world, who else would dare to use you besides me? Who can fulfill your revenge?"

"You're not old, so you don't want to do something? I won't kill you, but I won't let your freedom go, and you don't want to stay in the mansion all day, just spend the rest of your life!"

"Huh! What happened to Dong Zhuo?" Li Ru didn't answer Liu Bian's words, but asked about Dong Zhuo's fate.

"He? He was killed by Lu Bu, his body was hung in the market, and the sky lantern was lit!"

"You are also an enemy of the family, and even do more than Dong Zhuo, so you are not afraid of Dong Zhuo's end?" Li Ru sneered.

"This world does not belong to the aristocratic family, nor does it belong to me. It belongs to the people of the world. I just work for the benefit of the people of the world. I appoint talents and appoint talents, regardless of whether the family is poor or not. It is not to suppress the family, but to oppress and oppress the common people." Those who win the hearts of the people win the world! I am different from Dong Zhuo!" Liu Bian chuckled.

"The one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world?" Li Ru closed his eyes and pondered for a while, "What kind of job do you prepare for me?"

"Your identity can no longer be used, so I have arranged for you a shady identity, are you willing to do it?" Liu Bian said without hesitation.

"tell me the story!"

"Wei Xiaokuan, have you dealt with him before?"

Li Ru nodded: "This person's understanding of people's hearts is terrifying, I can't compare to him!"

"Xiaokuan is the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei is a monitoring agency. He monitors officials for me, controls intelligence, assassinates, sabotages, and does shady things. Xiaokuan's methods are not vicious enough, so I plan to divide the Jinyiwei into light and dark. The Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Supervision, controls intelligence, and the Ministry of Secrets, to do what I want to do but can't do!" Liu Bian said indifferently.

"I thought you were a benevolent person with women, but I didn't expect you to be so hypocritical. In this way, this Anbu will take advantage of me? Well, in this way, if a certain family learns so many secrets, it may be possible in the future. I was silenced by you!" Li Ru smiled wryly.

"You are a person who no longer exists. People like you are afraid of death? I originally thought that Jia Xu was suitable for this position, but he didn't want to offend anyone, so he let go of this plan!"

"Jia Wenhe? I'm ashamed to be with him. If he didn't hide it, how could my father-in-law die?" Li Ru said coldly.

Liu Bian shook his head and smiled, "How are you thinking?"

"Okay, since you are not afraid of death, I will go crazy with you, Li Ru pays homage to His Majesty!" Li Ru got up and bowed to Liu Bian.

"Pingshen! I asked you to come to Chang'an this time because there is a task arrangement. Now Xiaokuan is in Chang'an, and he has to deal with the intelligence of the princes of the Central Plains. In Chang'an, there are many families in Guanzhong. You want to control the information in Guanzhong. The family's one move If you move, I will know!"

"One more thing, Wenyou, you have been in Xiliang for a long time, and Liangzhou Zhen will not be able to intervene for a while. Another task you have in Chang'an is to plan Xiliang for me!" Liu Bian glanced at Li Rushi. Two people, explained.

"The aristocratic family in Guanzhong and the warlords in Xiliang are old friends. It's interesting!" Li Ru stroked his beard, with a strange smile on his lips, which surprised Liu Bian.
