The author has something to say:

Three months after Liu Che ascended the throne, Tian Fu, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, was granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an, and Tian Sheng was given the title of Marquis of Zhou Yang. For a while, the eyes of the court towards the Tian family changed a lot.

Standing behind the Tian family is the Queen Mother, which means that a new round of foreign relatives has officially stepped on the stage of history.

Of course, there are also those who are calmer. Now that the Empress Dowager is still alive, if the Empress Dowager wants to fight against the Empress Dowager, that is far from enough qualifications. Therefore, the Dou family is still a noble family in the Han Dynasty.

All of this, Gillian and the others knew about it, but they didn't interfere too much. Now that Liu Che has just ascended the throne, what he wants is mutual checks and balances among his relatives.

It has been ten months since Liu Che ascended the throne, but he is still subject to the two palaces. He is an aspiring king, so he naturally wants to organize a team of his own. What is lacking now is talent. Han Yan listed the young talents in the capital A table for Liu Che to look up.

Looking at the clean and beautiful, simple and beautiful typography, Liu Che smiled

"Ah Yan, you've worked hard." You can tell that a lot of thought has been spent on these things.

"It is the duty of a subject to do things for His Majesty." Han Yan said calmly, without any special expression.

"If all the courtiers know the 'duty', then the emperor will be much easier to do, take a look." Saying that, Liu Che showed a list to Han Yan

"This is my uncle, our Marquis of Wu'an, an official elected for me." Liu Che's voice could not detect any joy or anger.

After Han Yan glanced at it briefly, she handed it to Gillian who was on the side, and Gillian raised her eyebrows

"Believe me so much? Are you afraid that I will tell grandma when I go back?" Although he said that, his hand spontaneously took it over. The more he looked, the higher his eyebrows frowned. What kind of unlucky uncle is he, who really dares to be bold?

It was all his people who recommended it!

I don't know whether to say that he has extraordinary courage or that he is fearless and lacking in nerves?

"Sister Gillian and I are in the same camp, Che'er knows it." Liu Che rested his chin on one hand and said casually.

Han Yan lowered her head slightly, treating herself as the background image.

"However, I'm very curious. Sister Gillian doesn't want to see me so much. She would rather go out of the palace and live a life of ups and downs than enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth in my golden house?"

As the words fell, Gillian suddenly had a stomachache. Did Liu Che do it on purpose, in order to get revenge on her, deliberately speaking to disgust her?

"Gillian Puliu's appearance, short-sightedness, how dare she covet the position of the mother of the country, people have self-knowledge, don't they?" Precarious?Where did you come to the conclusion that my Lord will live such a miserable life?

"Sister Gillian is more than enough to be the mother of the country. Alas, it's Che'er's fault after all. Che'er is not good enough for Sister Gillian." Liu Che sighed resentfully.

Gillian gritted her teeth.

"Ayan." Liu Che said suddenly

The blue veins on Han Yan's forehead are popping out, here it is again, why do these two's grievances always involve me?As the most trusted person of His Majesty, Han Yan felt extremely honored, but knowing the emperor's family affairs, Han Yan said that the pressure was huge. In fact, he wished that he didn't know anything, rather than being caught between the two of them now.

"What orders does Your Majesty have?" I kept slandering in my heart, but my mouth quickly agreed.

Is this the experience of being a courtier?Gillian looked at the handsome Han Da who was sitting upright with great interest.

"Now there are only a few of us, so don't be so cautious... Tell me, what kind of husband do I want to find for Sister Gillian, so that I can match up with the beautiful and beautiful Lord of the Han Dynasty?" Liu Che said with a serious expression. .

Gillian almost spit out the tea in her mouth!

"Don't worry Your Majesty, A-Jiao has her own plans." A-Jiao's face turned dark.

Liu Che looked refreshed, hmph, he didn't want to be my queen, so what if he didn't take a breath?However, why do I always feel a little lost in my heart?

Soon, Liu Che concealed this loss. His father was right. Giving Gillian freedom is the best choice. Trapping Gillian in the palace for a lifetime, but not being able to give her pampering, this is what happened to Gillian, who is full of stars. In other words, life is worse than death.

Han Yan remained silent.

Seeing what Liu Che wanted to say, Gillian said before him

"The forces in the court are complicated now. Has Your Majesty thought of a solution?" Looking at the bamboo slips in Liu Che's hand, A-Jiao continued.

"What do you gain, Your Majesty?" Liu Che issued an edict to recommend talents in October of the first year of Jianyuan. Gillian knew that it was time for Dong Zhongshu and other representatives of Confucianism to set off a reform storm, so she asked this question.

"A-Jiao, A-Yan, what do you think of Wei Wan?" Liu Che smiled and didn't answer, but turned to ask Wei Wan.

"All-round talent in civil and military affairs." After thinking for a while, Gillian gave a standard answer, and Emperor Jing even praised Wei Wan for being versatile in both civil and military affairs.

Sure enough, Liu Che nodded, but still looked at them expectantly.

"What else?" I didn't want to hear a comment that everyone knew.

"He is a representative figure of Confucianism." Han Yan has been educated by the Taifu with Liu Che since she was a child. Wei Wan was once a prince and Taifu. Han Yan still knows his thoughts.

What's more, he also understood that Liu Che had been looking for a set of permanent thoughts that could guide the long-term rule of the Han Dynasty, but he didn't understand why he chose Confucianism in the end.

Seeing that Han Yan obediently gave the answer Liu Che wanted, Gillian couldn't help feeling powerless, Han Yan, how loyal are you?What did Liu Che ask you, and you know everything like a good baby?

No wonder history will leave such a mark on you. Of course, your trust and loyalty from the heart really make people suspicious and YY~~

Gillian's thoughts have developed in an impure direction...

"And this person's idea is very interesting." Liu Che curled his mouth and put a roll of bamboo slips on the desk. Han Yan looked at the name of the person.

"Dong Zhongshu?"

Gillian's eyebrows twitched, she really came.

"The relationship between heaven and man and the theory of kingship are based on the Confucian classic "Gongyang Spring and Autumn Annals". What does your Majesty mean?" Han Yan took a rough look and understood what Liu Che meant.

"The theory of Huang Lao should be replaced." Governance by doing nothing, and governance by doing nothing, and continuing to rule by doing nothing, the big man doesn't know where to go.

Thinking of the many sharp conflicts in the country in recent years, the crisis caused by the chaos of Wu and Chu, the arrogance of Concubine Li, the chaos in the harem, the threat of Zhou Yafu's domineering arrogance to the imperial power, the border anxiety brought about by the Xiongnu's successive invasions, everything Everything makes the Huang-Lao theory of "governing by doing nothing" seem out of date.

The gentleman advocated by Confucianism is hardworking, enterprising and promising, advocating respecting the emperor and cultivating rituals, which is what the development of the Han Dynasty requires.

At this time, Liu Che had a strong desire for the idea of ​​centralizing the monarchy!

If you want to centralize military power, the first step is to get rid of your relatives!

During the change of thought, Liu Che suddenly hated Tian Fu's list.

"Chuntuo drafted an order." Liu Che said suddenly

"Prince Tai Fu Wei Wan, erudite and versatile, respectful and thrifty, benevolent and caring for servants, noble in character and good in behavior, I highly appreciate it, and I will add him to the post of prime minister, and the ministers of the court will encourage him together."

With the swift and resolute action under an imperial decree, the Queen Mother thought that Liu Che was grateful for Wei Wan's former role as the crown prince and tutor, so she gave him special favors, so she didn't say much.

The Empress Dowager had a vague premonition, but she didn't expect Liu Che to shake the idea of ​​Huang Lao's theory, and also took measures to stay still. When everyone heard about it, Wei Wan became the first emperor of the Wu Emperor period. prime minister.

"In addition to discovering Dong Zhongshu this time, I also discovered a wonderful person." Liu Che said with a smile after finishing his orders.

"Wonderful man?" Gillian was puzzled. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to supplement the harem?Or has he hooked up with Wei Zifu?

"Well, his name is Dongfang Shuo, and his self-recommended articles are extremely exaggerated. If he is not really talented, he is a pompous person. But I am very interested, so let him be put aside for now. Grind his arrogance." Liu Che's words were high-sounding, but Gillian had to suspect that he was really grinding Dongfang Shuo's arrogance, wasn't he playing with Dongfang Shuo?

Can you be a little more low-key with that expression of watching a joke?

Who doesn't know that the salary of the bus order is meager, and it is even more difficult to meet the emperor. If Dongfang Shuo is really talented, he will eventually meet the emperor after all his efforts. If not, a bus order is nothing to be reluctant.

Gillian mourned for Dongfang Shuo in her heart.

Although I know that the last one will be very fond of Liu Che.

"Dongfang Shuo? Coincidentally, Your Majesty, I met a strange man some time ago. He was a fortune-teller named Dongfang Hui. From my point of view, he is quite talented. When I talked about divination, it was too suspenseful. Is this my servant?" Too yearning, but Dongfang Hui's ability to see people's eyes and understand people's hearts is not weak."

Thinking of Dongfang Hui's words, Han Yan said, regardless of whether the divination is true or not, what Han Yan valued was Dongfang Hui's keen insight and speculation ability.

"Oh, there is such a strange person among the people, Ah Yan, one day, bring him into the palace and let me have a look, no, I will go out with you to have a look someday." The impulsiveness of the eyes, if you want to leave the palace, you will say it clearly. Such a righteous excuse makes people's stomach hurt.

However, Dongfang Hui should be Dongfang Shuo, tsk, these two people's eyes are so unique and consistent. I want to say that there is no JQ between you, and no one will believe it.

Gillian started flirting again.

However, Han Yan didn't give Gillian much time to think about it. When Gillian came back to her senses, she and Han Yan had already boarded the carriage to Youranju.

As for why they went together, it can only be said that both of them happened to be looking for Liu Rong on this day.

Gillian was sitting in a carriage, and Han Yan was riding a horse, but it didn't hinder their conversation.

"Mr. Jiang has outstanding ability and literary talent. Why is he superior to a businessman? If he enters the court as an official, he should benefit the common people." Han Yan said leisurely. He seems to always be calm and elegant. .

"Everyone has their own aspirations, as long as they like it. Perhaps, in Jiang Lin's heart, being an idle businessman is much more chic and free than an official who walks on thin ice."

"What the Lord said is very true. Han Yan admires Brother Jiang's open-mindedness." Han Yan had to express his admiration for the scholar, farmer, businessman, who was able to calmly choose the least status thing to do.

It's fine if Jiang Lin doesn't have the ability, but in fact, Jiang Lin is not only talented in both civil and military affairs, but also knows the charming master. Under such conditions, he can still stick to his heart. Han Yan believes that Jiang Lin is not playing a long game to catch big fish .

"Hehe, Ah Yan can't think like this. One day you suddenly come to retreat, where can I find a Han Yan to compensate our Emperor?" A Jiao teased.

"The emperor's favor is not absolute." Han Yan still said unhurriedly, Gillian was choked for a moment, how dare you, Han Yan, dare to say such outrageous words in public, but my lord also Indeed, there is nothing I can do about you.

"Ah Yan always speaks so tepidly?" A-Jiao bared her teeth. She didn't understand why she, who had always been calm, was always easily agitated in front of Han Yan, especially when she looked at Han Yan who had been in the same room for ten years. Han Yan, he seems, will always be so gentle as jade, as elegant as orchid.

Ah Jiao was too tired for him.

Uncle Huang once said that he likes acting. In fact, compared with Han Yan, he is far from his level. At least, in front of the relatives he recognizes, most of what he shows is true, but what about Han Yan?Whether facing outsiders or relatives, it seems that there will always be only one expression and one way of speaking, always standing a few steps away calmly, talking to you with a smile.

Han Yan like this makes people feel fake.

For some reason, Gillian remembered a sentence from her previous life, "People who are always rational and indifferent are actually the most cold-blooded and ruthless people."

He treats everyone the same, seemingly affectionate, but actually the most ruthless.

When Han Yan was a child, he would still fight with Chen Xu and Chen Yu, but when he grew up, it seemed to become a program, always appearing in front of everyone with a certain face, and no one could spy on the real him.

Han Yan seems to be on guard against the world all the time.
