Soon, an edict recalled the Marquis of Yangwu who was stationed in the northern border to Chang'an. At the same time, a news that surprised the world began to spread quickly. It turned out that the Wang family of the current queen was actually the same clan as Marquis of Yangwu, and finally settled the genealogy. Marquis of Yangwu happened to be Queen Wang's cousin.

No one knows how true or false this rumor is, but everyone knows that it is inevitable that the rise of the Wang family’s relatives will rise. The first thing that happened after the Marquis of Yangwu, Wang Yuanyou, returned to Chang'an was not to meet the emperor, but to go to the ancestral temple of Empress Wang’s family to worship the ancestors. Then the two Wang families directly merged the genealogy and joined the same sect.

As soon as this news came out, the world was in an uproar again. Everyone knew that the queen now also had an extremely powerful backer.

The Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace is here again on the fifteenth day of the month. Today, not only will there be the nobles of Chang'an, but also the Yangwu Hou who has just returned from the northern border. The empress's father and brother can be granted the title of marquis as usual, but Wang Yuanyou is already the Yangwu Hou, so everyone thinks that the emperor will definitely have a reward to the Wang family today.

"Your Majesty has an order." At the beginning of the court meeting, an eunuch launched an imperial edict to read it.

"The emperor decided to abolish the governors of the thirteen provinces, and set up an embroidered censorate to supervise the world. The embroidered censor set up two embroidered envoys, appointed Wang He as the left envoy, and appointed Shi Chong as the right envoy. The two left envoys were the same as nine ministers, with two thousand stones in the ranks."

"I ordered the order." His Highness walked out of the crowd and bowed to Liu Jin in the hall. Of course, it was Wang He and Shi Chong.

The court officials were not surprised by the appointment of the emperor, because Huo Guang once proposed the abolition of the governors of the Thirteen State Council a year ago. Huo Guang's reason was that the governor's power was too great, and over time, the subordinate states would become independent kingdoms, forming a trend of large-scale failure.

"Half Yangwu came forward to listen to the order." Before the court officials had completely digested the information just now, Liu Jin spoke in person.

"I'm here." Wang Yuanyou got up and left the seat, bowed and stood in the hall.

"Yangwuhou Wang Yuanyou was appointed as the general of the Grand Sima Zhenjun, with the same position as the three dukes, and he was granted five thousand households in the fief. He also gave him a mansion in Xuanpingli." Liu Jin's majestic voice echoed in the Xuanshi Hall.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Wang Yuanyou bowed again, and he looked calm and there was no trace of sadness on his face.

For a moment, the Xuanshi Palace whispered, not discussing the previous embroidered censor, nor discussing the new official position of Yangwuhou. Everyone's focus was on the mansion in Xuanpingli.

Because now there is only one free mansion in Xuanpingli, which is Huo Guang's house, Anyang Hou Mansion.

The king of Yangwuhou, Wang Yuanyou, was destined to be a sensational figure in Chang'an today. As soon as the court meeting of Xuanshi Hall ended, the newly promoted general of the Grand Sima Zhenjun was then Xuan of the Jiaofang Hall by the queen.

"I pay homage to the queen." Wang Yuanyou in the Jiaofang Hall paid homage to the queen with his ministerial etiquette.

"Marquis Yangwu is exempt from courtesy. My younger sister has met her brother." Wang Wengxu said politely, and then he also bowed slightly to Wang Yuanyou. This time the queen summoned Marquis Yangwu, which was naturally the first time she met as a brother and sister.

Wang Yuanyou raised his head and his eyes happened to meet Wang Wengxu. Both of them smiled tacitly.

"My younger sister often hears that her elder brother followed the Anyang King to fight north in the early years. She admired him very much. She never thought that the hero in her heart was her elder brother. Can the elder brother tell me about the past for her younger sister today?" The queen and Wang Yuanyou sat down with the guest and host. She asked about Wang Yuanyou's past first. It seemed that the queen was also very curious about her brother.

"I obey the order." Wang Yuanyou bowed and responded. Since the two became brothers and sisters, they should indeed understand the past, and such fakes will gradually become real.

Soon Wang Yuanyou started from when Huo Guangchu was the Chang'an Order during the Yuanshou period. Wang Wengxu knew very little about the events of that period. She had just been born not long ago. For most young people today, those pasts were legends belonging to Huo Guang.

"As a woman, I shouldn't have asked about some major military and national affairs, but after hearing what my brother said, I was confused." After hearing Wang Yuanyou's words, Wang Wengxu's expression changed several times, and finally looked at Wang Yuanyou with a puzzled look.

"There is a saying in Zhou Li that husband and wife are one. The empress and mother are in the world. This great man belongs to His Majesty and the Queen. How could he not ask because the queen is a woman?" Wang Yuanyou said to Wang Wengxu with a smile.

In fact, in ancient Chinese society, most dynasties were monogamous, and even the law clearly defined the legal status of the wife. The status of the wife in the Western Han Dynasty was equal to that of the husband. As for the concubine, she was just a slave with a slightly higher status. The queen was the same as the emperor, and she was the same car when she left and the same seat when she entered. In the eyes of the world, the queen could represent the emperor.

"My sister wants to ask my brother, what is the biggest worry for me now?" Wang Wengxu asked seriously. This question is very simple, but it is the most difficult thing for people to answer.

Wang Yuanyou was also stunned. He didn't expect the queen to ask him such a question. He looked at Wang Wengxu, pondered for a moment, then stood up, walked forward a few steps, and stopped at a place only half a foot away from Queen Wang.

The ministers and the queen generally do not stand so close. Wang Yuanyou is approaching Queen Wang at this moment, so he is naturally as a brother, which also shows that what he wants to say next is as a brother, rather than the Marquis of Yangwu of the Han Dynasty.

"Brother, please rest assured. Our brothers and sisters' conversations cannot be made in this Pepper House." Queen Wang's voice did not lose the woman's gentleness, but also revealed a faint majesty.

"In Hexi, in Anyang Country..." Wang Yuanyou said a few words calmly, but his voice was not loud.

Wang Wengxu looked at Wang Yuanyou with a little surprised expression. After a moment, he suddenly realized it, and then said calmly: "My sister understands."

The first time Empress Wang met her brother was very happy. The queen even left her brother to spend a dinner in the Jiaofang Hall. Even the emperor and the prince appeared. The prince and his family were happy. During the meal, the king and his ministers all had fun, as if they were really close relatives for many years.

Xuanpingli is busy today, and carriages are pulling a large number of objects into the former Anyang Marquis Mansion, but the originally empty door frame is now hanging with a few red-lacquered characters on the Yangwu Marquis Mansion. Several other noble families in Xuanpingli have not chosen to go out today, and they seem to have tacitly given the streets outside to Yangwu Marquis Mansion.

Many people don’t know when this mansion was first built. Only some older people still remember that this was the mansion of Li Cai, the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu. Later, it became the Anyang Jun Mansion and later became the Anyang Marquis Mansion. However, now it has been replaced by the Yangwu Marquis’ plaque. It seems that this unchanging Chang'an City has only become the powerful families like flowing water.

In the main hall of Changle Palace, except for some palace servants and guards in charge of cleaning, there has been no master for a long time. The two palaces of Weiyang Changle are mostly vacant, and this situation is also the first time since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

Now the crabapple trees in front of Changle Palace are still lush and lush. In order to commemorate the deceased relatives, Liu Jin also inspected these crabapple trees. Perhaps when he saw these crabapple trees, he would feel that his grandmother, grandfather, father and others were not far away. These crabapple trees seemed to make him feel that he was not so lonely.

"Emperor, you are indeed here..." Liu Jin stood under the crabapple tree and pondered. Liu Xijun's familiar voice sounded behind him at some point.

"Does the emperor think I am qualified?" Liu Jin turned around and asked with a smile on his face when he saw Liu Xijun coming in a gentle manner.

Liu Xijun approached Liu Jin, looked at the serious emperor, but laughed out loud, and then said, "You... are so anxious. You have become throne for less than a year. Now the Han Dynasty has recovered, and the people have their own place to live, and the food and clothing are all available. I believe that the Han Dynasty will be extremely strong again in a few years. You are better than the ancestors and sects!"

"Yes, as long as I give me another ten years, the thousands of miles of land under my rule will definitely surpass my ancestors and even surpass my grandfather's glory." Liu Jin also said firmly.

"Sister believes you can do it. Isn't Yangwu Hou also used it for you now? There are Sima Qian, Su Wu, Zhang Anshi and others in the court, Wang Yuanyou, Shangguan Jie and others in Wu. The Chang'an Academy is constantly innovating. I heard that some places in the nine southeastern counties have begun to plant rice that is ripe a year. I believe that Ao Cang will soon be filled with food, and there are countless gold and silver in Shanglin Garden!" Liu Xijun looked at Liu Jin as if he was looking at the younger brother who needed his assistance. She also looked forward to the future man, and at the same time, she also believed that this day would come soon.

Now the role of the Chang'an Academy is not only to organize some theories of various scholars. Because of Luoyanghong's relationship, the entire Han Dynasty also entered a stage of leapfrog development in agriculture, mulberry and water conservancy. At the same time, the Mohist school also introduced a large number of innovations, which led to the rapid development of the use of tools, and the development of ore mining and smelting. Sang Hongyang also compiled business theory into a book, making commerce extremely active. The entire Han Dynasty had earth-shaking changes in any aspect.

"I also believe that there will be this day, but... Time is not waiting for me... Today, Yangwuhou told the queen that the biggest hidden worries and threats of the Han Dynasty are Anyang Kingdom... Just an hour ago, I received the above statement from the King of Anyang. He has already planned to go west to two passes in two months and completely eliminate the Anxi Empire... It is not to defeat, but to eliminate... Sula, the distant ruler of the Great Qin Dynasty, has begun the east expedition, and he still abides by the oath of sharing the Anxi Empire with the King of Anyang... Sister thinks? After the King of Anyang has obtained the large area and population of the Western Regions and Anxi, will he still be the King of Anyang of the Han Dynasty?"

Liu Jin said with an extremely serious expression, and even Liu Xijun could feel a tense atmosphere from his words. As an emperor, Liu Jin had to consider the power of the great Han vassal kings. Once Anyang Kingdom recovered the Western Regions and conquered the Anxi Empire, another huge country would be born. As such a country grows, will it still be safe to surrender to the Han Dynasty as a vassal state? No one knows?

Even though this Anyang King was once the humble minister of the Han Dynasty, the emperor's teacher, and a great hero admired by everyone in the world, people could not help but wonder whether he was still loyal to the Han Dynasty.

"The late emperor and his teacher have said that to be invincible in the world, you can only become the strongest person and always surpass your opponent. As long as the Han Dynasty has strong national strength, the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone will feel at ease, no one can threaten this country." Liu Xijun looked at Liu Jin and comforted her.

She knew that Liu Jin's concerns were reasonable. If Huo Guang really divided the Anxi Empire with Sula, the territory of Anyang Kingdom would be even larger than that of the Han sect leader. At that time, even if Huo Guang had no other thoughts, it would be difficult to guarantee that his important officials would not have any thoughts!

"Sister also knows the ability of Anyang Hou. Since he has decided to take the initiative, it means he is fully confident. Sister thinks with his ability, how long will it take to recover the Western Regions and then conquer Anxu? Five years? Three years? Or one or two years?" Liu Jin said helplessly. Huo Guang's life record was too terrifying. Not only did he destroy countless countries, he also quickly resolved the war. Liu Jin was really worried that the powerful Anxu Empire could not stop Huo Guang for too long.

"This..." Liu Xijun was speechless for a moment, and she didn't know what to say. She wanted to comfort Liu Jin, but found that she seemed to be unable to convince herself.

"The late emperor once said that the teacher did have selfish intentions, but he also had a bottom line. He would never fall into the world with his own selfish desires. Your Majesty may have many concerns!" Liu Xijun thought for a while and said, she remembered what Emperor Wu of Han said back then, and Huo Guang was in the name of Qingjun. When he encountered threats from the Huns at the same time, he would choose to fight with the Huns first and leave all his main army to guard the frontier. These actions also made Emperor Wu of Han very convincing. At the same time, in Liu Xijun's heart, he subconsciously refused to believe that Huo Guang would rebel against the Han Dynasty.

"Sister... the hearts of people will always change! Didn't he tell us this way? The hardest thing is the hearts of people. I dare not bet on the country and the country. I dare not place the safety of the Han Dynasty on him. I will not change my heart! I need time..." Liu Jin had Liu Jin's consideration, and as an emperor, he could not place hope on others.

Liu Jin lowered his head, and Liu Xijun also lowered his head. The two of them were silent for a long time. After waiting for a long time, Liu Xijun spoke first and said, "I have a way..."

"What's the solution?" Liu Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Xijun with anticipation.

"Grimage to Anyang Kingdom..." Liu Xijun said slowly.

"Good marriage? But the prince of Anyang, Huo An, is only eight or nine years old. Besides, I have no daughter. If I were just an ordinary daughter of a royal family, it would be meaningless to the King of Anyang!" Liu Jin frowned and said in confusion.

Liu Xijun looked at Liu Jin seriously, as if he had made some decision. After a moment, he solemnly said: "It's not about finding Huo An to marry, but directly mingling with King Anyang... Let my sister do the last thing for you..."

"But..." Liu Jin looked at Liu Xijun in surprise.

"Nothing, but maybe I can keep the Han Dynasty safe for a hundred years after going to Anyang Country. And... in terms of identity, no one is more suitable than me!" Liu Xijun said with a firm expression.

Without waiting for Liu Jin to agree or not, Liu Xijun suddenly turned around and left, leaving only one sentence behind: "Brother, I'll issue an order tomorrow."

Looking at Liu Xijun's back as he gradually faded away, Liu Jin turned around and pressed his hand on the crabapple tree, and then said in a deep tone: "I'm sorry...my good sister...I'm not dead, I feel at ease..."
