Yingchuan, Xiangcheng, the prefect's mansion.
"Congratulations to Duke Xuande." Jia Xu smiled and handed a royal silk to Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "After many investigations by the Zong Mansion, it has been confirmed that Duke Xuande is indeed the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. In terms of seniority, he is the same generation of Your Majesty. This time, Your Majesty sent me to the right name for Xuande Gong."
"Thank you Your Majesty!" Liu Bei, with the two generals of Guan and Zhang, knelt respectfully towards Chang'an: "Bei has been to the world for more than ten years, and now he will finally get what he wants. I will justify my Zhongshan lineage! Thank you for your kindness."
"Duke Xuande asked for it quickly." Jia Xu stretched out his hand, helped Liu Bei up, and signaled to the two generals Guan and Zhang: "Get up quickly, two generals, too. Your Majesty has heard in the court that the two generals are brave generals. Now they can be used by the court, which is a blessing for the country."
Guan Yu hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not. Zhang Fei, who was always whispering, was honestly following Liu Bei at this moment. Did he cry even if he didn't see his brother? Zhang Fei was the least resistant to Liu Bei's tears.
"Mr. Wenhe, I wonder how Your Majesty arranges my brother?" After a greeting, Liu Bei welcomed Jia Xu into the mansion, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Jia Xu with a smile.
"According to detailed investigations by the court, the Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers all had abnormal movements, especially after His Majesty sent officials to the four counties of Yingchuan, Dongjun, Chenliu and Jiyin, the two Yuan, Cao Cao and Chen Guiyin had a joint force, and a battle might be inevitable. This time, Your Majesty hopes that Duke Xuande can continue to be in charge of Yingchuan." Jia Xu said in a stern manner.
Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Sir, I don't know that because Bei had implemented Your Majesty's will, promoted the bookstore and printing technology before, it had become incompatible with the Yanzhou family. Not only did a large number of officials retire, but many of the four counties joined forces to raise prices. Bei is now in a panic. The total number of soldiers from the four counties is only 30,000. I'm afraid I have to maintain the local area.
"It's okay!" Jia Xu smiled and said, "Xu came for this matter."
Guan Yu raised his eyelids and said, "I heard for a long time that Mr. is a wise man of the world. He has no choice but to do anything. I wonder what kind of tricks Mr. has to defeat the enemy?"
"It's not to defeat the enemy." Jia Xu shook his head and looked at Liu Bei seriously and said, "I'm sorry, the four counties of Yingchuan are all places of four battles, including Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in the south, and Cao Cao in the east. If Yingchuan is used as the battlefield, life will inevitably be devastated."
Liu Bei frowned and nodded when he heard this. If it were the past when Liu Bei, Cao Cao and the two Yuan had disputes, or had a alliance or a alliance, there would always be a way. But now, with the four major princes of the Central Plains joining forces, Liu Bei did not have the confidence to fight so many princes with the 30,000 troops in his hand. More importantly, if the war broke out, the people of the four counties would suffer.
Guan Yu frowned and said, "Brother has always regarded benevolence and righteousness as the first priority. If the people of the four counties are poisoned this time, where is the reputation of his brother?"
"General Guan is calm, please listen to Xu's words." Jia Xu smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty attaches importance to the people more than anyone else, but this battle is inevitable. In any case, Yingchuan will not escape and become a place where bombs are poisoned. Therefore, Your Majesty is here to help Xuande Gong with his arm."
"I wonder what tricks sir have to teach me?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up. Although Jia Xu's reputation was not obvious, he had made no mistakes after several moves. Liu Bei was still convinced of Jia Xu's ability.
"Your Majesty this time, he hopes to use the name of Xuande Gong's benevolence and righteousness to move the people of the four counties to Heluo as much as possible." Jia Xu said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu in confusion.
"Mr. Xuande is known as benevolence and righteousness, and is loved by the people under his rule. However, nowadays, aristocratic families want to hoard goods, which has also made a large number of people feel resentful. This resentment is not only in the aristocratic families, but more concentrated on the Duke Xuande, right?" Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei and smiled.
"No," Liu Bei sighed bitterly. The people don't know so much. After all, Liu Bei is the lord of the four counties. Although he has been trying his best to mediate all parties, the results have been very little. If Jia Xu came a little later, he would probably have no money and food to support the army.
"So, I took this opportunity to encourage the people of the four counties to move to Heluo. The two hundred officials Xu brought this time all came for this matter." Jia Xu smiled.
"They..." Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu in a daze: "Didn't it come for governance?"
I originally thought that the Liu Association sent so many officials to control the four counties of Yingchuan, but I didn't expect it to be for the purpose of moving the people.
"It's important. All that can be said to Xuande Gong is. I hope Xuande Gong can help as much as possible." Jia Xu nodded.
"How can I help this...?" Liu Bei smiled bitterly.
"With the pressure of the four counties' families, Your Majesty moved the people and only moved the people. As for whether the aristocratic families are willing to leave together, Your Majesty did not force it. However, the people of the four counties must move away as soon as possible and stay away from the war. Hulao, Xuanyuan, and Mengjin have prepared enough food and grass. As long as they can move here, there will be enough supply to allow the people to rebuild their homes in the Heluo area."
"Your Majesty's concerns are not unreasonable." Guan Yu nodded and said, "Once the alliance between the princes is complete, our four counties in Yingchuan will definitely be the first to bear the brunt."
"Just... how to motivate the people?" Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu in confusion.
"Just say that the war is about to begin." Jia Xu smiled. In fact, he had dug a pit for the families of the four counties. Once the war begins, the land of the four counties will inevitably become the main battlefield for the princes. At that time, the issue of food and grass will be what the princes are most concerned about. Should the families left behind in the four counties of Yingchuan offer grain?
Although the princes cannot do anything about them, the war started by your aristocratic family is unwilling to work hard in the end. Why should the princes rush forward to compete for the aristocratic family? But if they are willing, the four coalition forces will have at least 200,000 to 300,000 people and chew horses. The four counties will have to be destroyed. At that time, there will be no need for the court to provoke them, and conflicts will reappear within the aristocratic family. Just like the heroes who were trying to challenge Dong, they each had their own plans and could not really work together to deal with the court. At that time, the various means of the court should work.
"What does Xuande Gong think?" Jia Xu was not anxious, just looking at Liu Bei. In fact, no matter whether Liu Bei was willing or not, rumors have begun to spread among the people. Recently, some people have started to run to Hulao Pass with their families. However, if they can get help from Liu Bei and take action in the name of Liu Bei, the effect will be more effective than secretly spreading rumors.
"Mr. I know what I mean. Please rest assured. I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!" Liu Bei looked solemn and bowed to Jia Xu.
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu held a smile on his lips. The matter was halfway through. Next, it depends on the speed of the princes' reaction.
...
Chang'an, Chengming Palace.
Liu Xie didn't care much about the current reaction of the princes of the Central Plains. He was in the hall at this moment, looking at Lu Lingju on the bed, frowned and restless.
During the morning tide, Lu Lingju suddenly fainted, which scared Liu Xie and didn't care too much. He asked the Qiao sisters to dress up Lu Lingju, and at the same time asked Wei Zhong to quickly invite all the imperial physicians.
"Your Majesty~" After taking the pulse for a long time, Imperial Doctor Ji finally stood up and looked at Liu Xie with a strange look.
"How?" Liu Xie quickly stood up and greeted Doctor Ji: "What disease did the beloved concubine get?"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Doctor Ji bowed slightly and smiled: "Guru Lu is happy with his pulse, and according to the pulse, he should be the prince."
"Uh..." Liu Xie widened his eyes in shock, a little confused, frowned and looked at Doctor Ji and said, "Doctor may guarantee it?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this has been determined repeatedly by me." Doctor Ji bowed.
An indescribable feeling surged into my heart, and Liu Xie couldn't say what it felt like, surprise, confusion, and helplessness. He was a human being in two lives. This was the first time he became a father. He felt very excited but at a loss.
"When will it be there?" Liu Xie said dryly.
"From the pulse, it has been two months." Doctor Ji bowed and said, "I will prescribe a prescription for safe fetal care. Lu Guiren is healthy and the fetus is not seriously injured, but..."
"But what? What else should I pay attention to? The Imperial Doctor said, I will do it!" Liu Xie came to his senses and laughed loudly.
"Although the noble man is strong, he is pregnant after all. He should be more restrained than sexual intercourse. If he is too excited, he may fall into fainting like this time." Doctor Ji tried his best to consider his words so that Liu Xie would not be too embarrassed.
When Liu Xie heard this, his face couldn't help but smile, and nodded with an awkward smile: "I will pay attention, well, that, are there anything else to pay attention to?"
Doctor Ji was relieved and explained some precautions to Liu Xie before saying goodbye to him.
"Yuxiu, let the treasury reward Doctor Ji with some treasures, and then Wei Zhong went to the bookstore to send him the reprinted versions of the medical books left by Hua Tuo." Seeing Doctor Ji leave, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yuxiu beside him.
"Here!" He glanced at Lu Lingju on the bed with some envy, and bowed to leave.
"Your Majesty..." Lu Lingju woke up and looked at Liu Xie weakly: "I am useless, I cannot let Your Majesty enjoy the full enjoyment."
"Don't talk nonsense about it, why don't you tell me if you are pregnant?" Liu Xie sat beside her, held her hand and shook his head with a smile.
"Pregnant?" Lu Lingju looked at Liu Xie blankly: "I don't know."
Liu Xie: "..."
Liu Xie is a theoretical expert, while Lu Lingju doesn't know anything. The two of them got together. If they hadn't suddenly fainted this time, they would have to wait until their stomachs get bigger before they could find out.
"Sister, Imperial Doctor Ji just came and said you are pregnant and you should avoid sexual intercourse as much as possible in the future." Qiao Rong smiled and leaned over to Lu Lingju, hugged Lu Lingju's waist, and pressed her ears on Lu Lingju's belly: "We will have a baby in our palace."
Liu Xie patted his head, turned his head to look at Qiao Ying and said, "I will ask Doctor Ji to come tomorrow to see if you sisters have them too. Tonight, we will go back to our room to go to bed."
