The imperial study room is always the place where Liu Xuan spends the most time. It is his first choice to deal with things, summon ministers and just relax. .
In other places, he only went there when he had something to do. Even if it was a palace with several women, he would not stay there too long when he had nothing to do. He mostly called the women out and walked around together.
The fact that these women have always had a harmonious relationship has something to do with this, because although Liu Xuan values ????some people, it is all because of business, and he does not show favoritism in matters between men and women. All the women also understand that, except for If you want to tie Liu Xuan to your side more than men and women, you have to be capable, so they are all busy enriching themselves, and Liu Xuan has never neglected anyone, so all the girls are very happy.
Of course, when the girls wanted to see him, he would never shirk the excuse of being busy. There were even a few times when the girls came and happened to catch Liu Xuan meeting the ministers to talk about business.
Liu Xuan had no scruples about this, and simply let him come in to accompany him. The ministers who had been following Liu Xuan for a long time were not surprised, but it frightened some "newcomers" who had just entered the court.
"For this reason, when some people spread the news to the outside world, Liu Xuan gained a few more reputationsit's not a good reputation.
There was even a censor who spoke directly and wanted to give him some advice. Of course, there was no result in the end. Liu Xuan didn't punish him. He just said: pay more attention to big things. What's the use of keeping an eye on these trivial things? ?
These words were nothing to Liu Xuan, but they frightened the young emissary so much that he didn't even dare to fart in the next few years. He just stood there and didn't dare to speak¡ª¡ª As a result, he was targeted by the officials again and was demoted directly.
This is a normal thing. If you don¡¯t do something, will the imperial court support you in vain? But I never thought that this time I would add another explanation: It was because this young man's words made the emperor angry, and the emperor deliberately gave him little shoes to wear in the next few years. Now that he was done, he kicked him out of the court. Out of sight, out of mind.
It can be said that this child¡¯s future is not bright!
Such nonsense is what many people are most willing to believe - they will deliberately ignore the real facts and only focus on the one they want to believe.
The more rumors spread, some people will eventually believe them. For example, among the young generals Gan Ning called this time, because they had never seen Liu Xuan before, they were wondering whether today's day was really as rumored: Lustful, cruel, and unable to listen to suggestions, he does whatever he wants, even having sex with his concubine in front of the ministers, without any regard for etiquette, justice, integrity, etc
There are even a few young people who are thinking, should they close their eyes as soon as they enter the imperial study room? In case you accidentally see something you shouldn't see, and lose your life for no apparent reason - it's not that people today kill people like hemp, and kill ministers like chickens and dogs, so they don't worry about anything at all.
But when these young people followed Cao Bao, the regular servant, to the imperial study, what they saw seemed to be different from what they expected.
There are not a lot of palace maids dressed in that kind of clothes, and there are no people sitting there with their arms around each other, looking impatient. At the same time, His Majesty does not look like he is overly drunk!
But when I thought deeply, I suddenly realized: "With the cultivation level of myself and others, that kind of situation will not happen, not to mention how powerful your Majesty's cultivation is. It is said that the most powerful general in the army, Lu Bu, is not a match for today. How can it be because of some men and women?" Are you acting weak?"
After saluting the emperor, they sat down in their respective seats in a proper manner. None of these people dared to talk nonsense. The only one talking to Liu Xuan was Gan Ning.
But in fact, Liu Xuan has already turned his attention to several people.
Speaking of which, these few are actually no longer young. Although they still look like they are in their early twenties, in terms of age, they are all dozens of years old. However, in today's Han army, they are all considered to be of the younger generation. That¡¯s all.
At the same time, these people are also a little younger. For example, Deng Ai is Deng Zhi's nephew according to his seniority. And Jiang Wei is the son of Jiang Ji, the former Tianshui prefect.
Xia Houba is the son of Xia Houyuan, and Zhong Hui is the son of Zhong Yao. These people are all a bit lower in terms of seniority, but in reality, these people are the same generation as Liu Xuan¡ª¡ª Liu Xuan is a generation younger than Liu Bei, and Liu Bei and Cao Cao are naturally close friends.
Fortunately, Liu Xuan doesn¡¯t need to talk to people based on seniority, otherwise he would be really depressed. It's not that Liu Xuan is rude, but he doesn't feel happy that a man who has lived for more than a thousand years has to call some decades-old children elders.
??He became even closer to the 'young people' in front of him. He looked around and finally asked Gan Ning: "Are these just the ones? If Xing Ba thought it was appropriate to use young people, why not put Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and others Bring everyone with you?"
Gan Ning thought for a moment: "Guan Xing and Guan Suo don't matter, but Zhang Bao is currently in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so it doesn't seem appropriate to transfer him out?"
Liu Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong. Besides, even if there weren't any powerful forces in the Americas this time, there was no guarantee that something unexpected would happen. If they encountered an adventure team from the Cultivation Empire, it might not be possible to rely only on the ordinary soldiers of the Forbidden Army. Suitable, then it seems necessary to bring a team of tiger and leopard riders.
Zhang Bao, this is just the right reason to send you over Your Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has dispatched part of it, so we don¡¯t need outsiders to lead it. It¡¯s still the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry insiders who will lead the team, so no one can find a problem.
¡°Then it¡¯s settled, I¡¯ll give you 1,500 tigers and leopards to ride on, just in case you need it!¡±
Since people from the Cultivation Empire have begun to appear on Earth, you have to be wary of others coming from the other side. It is always right to be careful.
Although Gan Ning didn¡¯t know what the emperor was wary of, he thought that there were many immortals who were against the emperor in the past. Who knows what existed on the other side of the sea, maybe he was wary of those guys?
What¡¯s more, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are the elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty. They can best display their strength in North America, especially in the territory of the United States. The place is flat, with the exception of plains and the Gobi Desert. Although there are also mountains and canyons, the impact is not great.
On the other hand, the northernmost area that later belonged to the Maple Leaf Kingdom was a little more complicated, with mountains crisscrossing it and not many suitable places to live. However, this didn¡¯t have any impact. We just started from the easy-to-occupy areas and waited until all the habitable people were taken. If the place is occupied, even if someone hides in the deep mountains and old forests, they will not be able to make waves.
After some discussion, there was nothing to discuss between the generals and the soldiers and horses. There was no need to talk nonsense about food and grass. That was what the Ministry of War had to do. Here we only need to tell the Ministry of War how large a war to launch; how many soldiers, horses and animals to be sent. ; How many civilians are needed; how far to go, and then the Ministry of War will calculate the approximate amount of food and grass that needs to be consumed, and withdraw the food and grass from the military supplies reserve and hand it to the general.
In fact, although the Han Dynasty can send tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops now, the demand for food and grass is really not much, and the nature of this expedition is quite special. After arriving in America, the first thing they did was to open up Establish a base area and then plant, so that you can achieve self-sufficiency in the early stages.
Dahan's development corps will not leave for North America for at least a few years. During this period, the expeditionary force can only rely on themselves - they don't have to worry, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry will send personnel to help them establish a complete logistics base, and then Whether to expand rapidly or to safely clear out a safe zone first depends on Gan Ning's decision.
After all discussions were completed, Liu Xuan issued an edict on the spot.
Gan Ning is the commander-in-chief and is responsible for all affairs of the expeditionary army. Because the expeditionary army camp will be under military management in the early stage, Gan Ning will have all the power in his hands.
This was the first time that he had given such great power to a general other than Cao Cao. Gan Ning was naturally very happy to know all this. This meant that he had also gained the emperor's unreserved trust. He said on the spot that he would not let down his majesty. Trust.
Liu Xuan smiled and nodded. He was happy that his men were motivated. He tilted his head and glanced at the group of young people, who also looked excited.
To be honest, these young people are quite embarrassed - there are not many opponents for the big man at present, and the generals can say more or less, and most of them are their elders. If the elders want to take credit, who among the younger generations dares to take it? ? So despite the fact that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all led the vanguard, their two sons were squatting in Luoyang because even the general positions in the vanguard army had been taken away.
This has led to the fact that although these young people are very capable and are praised as having a bright future in the military, they have no chance to go to the frontline battlefield to really see blood It took a lot of effort to go there but it was just a small trip. I just finished the warm-up.
Each and every one of them was so miserable that they almost joined together and went to Europe to harm the Roman Empire. Gan Ning also knew that these young people were holding back hard, so he proposed to take them with him.
Another point is that the status and relationships of these generals in the Forbidden Army are quite complicated. It is not too early for Gan Ning to defect to Liu Xuan. At the same time, because he has been focusing on helping the court lead the navy in recent years, he has not made much credit, only that year. He accomplished a feat when he conquered Jingzhou.
Since his level is limited, he can¡¯t command many people. Instead of doing that, he might as well lead a group of young people. At least he won¡¯t have any trouble in commanding them.
Although Liu Xuan didn¡¯t know Gan Ning? I had a rough idea, but I could roughly guess it. I didn¡¯t expect that Gan Xingba had such thoughts. I had underestimated him before.
No matter what, the general team of the expeditionary force has been decided, but this is not the end, because the Sixth Department still has to send people to accompany them, and at the same time, the construction of the base area also requires a civilian group.
??In other words, some civil servants must be sent to follow Gan Ning, so this candidate is not so easy to choose.
