If he can be killed while on a mission to another country, then Great Han will have a reason to attack and expand its territory!

In this way, not only will his name go down in history, but Cui Clan will also have a very good reputation. Even if he Cui Clan is in decline and his descendants go out to beg for food, he will still be able to speak a little more forcefully.

"Sir, you are righteous!"

After listening to Huang Zhong, he was in awe of Cui Lin.

What a good man!

Although Guo Jia felt that this approach was not very appropriate, when he saw that Cui Lin had made up his mind, he knew that he could not persuade him anymore.

"Then... just follow Brother Deru's words."

Guo Jia sighed and agreed to the matter.

Although he doesn't care about credit, he can't resist the temptation to expand territory for Great Han, which has always been something that Military Generals can do.

But if he accomplished this feat as Civil Officials, he will definitely have his mark in the history books in the future.

No one can say no to Immortalized in History.

Cui Lin nodded heavily and said, "I will take Tiger Guards and head to Goguryeo tomorrow!"

"After Tiger Guards sent back the news that I had been killed, Old General Huang and the two generals immediately led the army to kill them and destroy their country!"

He was already prepared to go on this trip and never return. After hesitating for a moment, he told Guo Jia: "Brother Fengxiao, please tell my brother when he returns to the court that I died a worthy death, so that he will not be sad."

After saying that, Cui Lin strode away from Camp Tent.

Go ahead and make preparations before traveling.

Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Xu and others looked at his leaving figure with deep admiration in their hearts.

What a tough guy.

Ji Province, Ye City.

After Zhuge Liang and others returned from the front line, Liu Xie's workload was greatly reduced. He had more time and no longer had to work as hard as before.

Xu Hour, Night stars are rare.

After Liu Xie finished reviewing today's government affairs, he went from Xuan Room to the Qingli Palace. He will stay in Zhen Mi's palace tonight.

As usual, Zhen Mi prepared some porridge in the palace, waiting for his return.

"My dear concubine, I have told you many times that you don't have to wait for me to come back and have a rest together. Just go to bed first."

Liu Xie said somewhat helplessly upon seeing this.

Zhen Mi is weak. He came over very late when he was busy before, and she fell asleep while waiting. So how could he not worry about her health?

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, how can I go to bed first?"

Zhen Mi stepped forward and took off Ceremonial Robe and Crown for Liu Xie. His voice was gentle and soft, and he said, "And... without Your Majesty by my side, I will never sleep well."

Liu Xie smiled bitterly and took her into his arms.

At this time, he noticed something on the table, which seemed to be something like female embroidery, and he couldn't help asking, "What is my beloved concubine embroidering?"

Zhen Mi's face was slightly red, he lowered his head and said softly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, my concubine's brother sent some fine Shu Brocade to the palace some time ago.

"My concubine had nothing to do, so she cut out a baby's clothes, thinking of preparing them for future children."

Hearing this, Liu Xie stretched out his hand to the female red girl and took it back. He looked around and said, "It's a little too early, the child hasn't been born yet..."

Hearing this, Zhen Mi suddenly had two lines of tears in his beautiful eyes.

She let go of the hand holding Liu Xie, turned her back, and said with a slightly choked voice, "In the second year of Jian'an, on the eighth day of April, I entered the palace."

"It's been more than three years now."

"Although Your Majesty loved my concubine very much, I couldn't get pregnant with Your Majesty's Dragon Heir for a long time, so Your Majesty had to choose another concubine to expand Imperial Harem.

As she spoke, she raised her tearful face, looked at Liu Xie and said, "Is it true that I am not lucky enough to be pregnant with Your Majesty Dragon Heir?"

Zhen Mi was on the verge of tears, her beautiful face full of sadness.

The expression on Liu Xie's face paused, and then he realized that he had been deliberately controlling himself for so long to prevent Zhen Mi and many Imperial Consorts from getting pregnant, which really made them start to think too much.

Although this was done to avoid the birth of an heir that would trigger a dispute over the throne and the crown prince, it was indeed not a problem if it continued like this.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie gently raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Zhen Mi's face, and sighed slightly, "Whether you can conceive an heir or not is God's will, but regardless of whether you have an heir or not, my love for you, my beloved concubine, will not be reduced at all."

"Why should my concubine worry about this?"

"Maybe it's just because I'm in the north now. Maybe when I Move the Capital returns to Luoyang, with Great Han Former Emperors of Every Era's blessing, my beloved concubine will be able to conceive Dragon Heir."

Liu Xie moved out the set of Dragon Qi and Mandate of Heaven.

This rhetoric is quite bluffing, and he plans to use it to deal with Court Officials in North Korea first.

After all, Great Han has always believed in prophecies.

As the seat of Ji Province, Ye City is rich enough and the location of Geography is important enough, but it is still far behind the two capital cities of Chang'an and Luoyang.

After all, the latter two are the capitals of Great Han throughout the ages, and many Former Emperor are buried in these two places, which is of great significance.

As long as he says that he is childless because Ye City does not have the blessing of Dragon Qi from Former Emperors of Every Era as a shield, then at least he will not have to suffer from this problem again until Move the Capital returns to Luoyang.

Zhen Mi just choked up and said nothing when she heard this. During this time, she felt too many grievances in her heart, but she still dared not speak out.

Liu Xie had no choice but to lower his head when he saw this, kissed her gently on her smooth forehead, and said, "My dear concubine, it's getting late, let's go to bed first."

"How can I get pregnant with Dragon Heir without going to bed?"

With just one sentence, Zhen Mi lowered his head shyly and said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, "Yeah."

Early next morning.

After Liu Xie woke up, he asked the palace maid to take good care of Zhen Mi who had been working hard all night, and then went to Xuan Room refreshed to start handling today's government affairs.

The governance of Yan Province and Yu Province involves all aspects of matters, and he needs to personally check them; there is also the reconstruction issue of Luoyang, which also requires him to make decisions.

In Bedchamber, Zhen Mi looked at the back of Liu Xie, his eyes full of happiness, and at the same time he pulled the brocade quilt to cover his fair body.

After Liu Xie arrived at Xuan Room, before he started to deal with government affairs, Gao Lan walked in and reported to him, "Your Majesty, there is a man outside the palace who claims to have been recommended by Xuande and wants to see Your Majesty."

"Oh? What's this person's name?"

When Liu Bei heard that it was recommended, Liu Xie immediately became energetic and asked curiously.

Liu Bei still rarely recommends people to him.

I wonder who is recommended this time?

Gao Lan said, "This person's name is Fa Zheng. His great-grandfather was the prefect of Nan Commandery, and his father was once Minister over the Masses's deputy and Commandant of Justice's left supervisor."

"He previously served as Colonel of Military Council under Liu Jiyu. Now he is recommended by Xuande and comes to see Your Majesty."

After listening to Gao Lan's words, Liu Xie was shocked.

Fa Zheng!

Liu Bei actually sent this person to him?

After reacting, Liu Xie endured the joy in his heart and said, "Hurry up!"

Gao Lan clasped his fists and accepted the order to retreat.

Not long after, he walked into Xuan Room with a handsome scribe wearing a green robe and having a good bearing.

"Fa Zheng, see Your Majesty!"

Fa Zheng came to the middle of the Great Hall and kowtowed and saluted.

Liu Xie looked at him, unable to conceal the joy in his eyes.

I was so sleepy that I came to the pillow. He said before that he lacked talents. Unexpectedly, he just received a Lu Su on the front foot, and Fa Zheng on the back foot!

Historically, Fa Zheng was the mastermind of Liu Bei.

The so-called mastermind is the chief counselor of the think tank. Chen Ping and Zhang Liang are equivalent in status to Liu Bang. Fa Zheng's abilities are no weaker than Lu Su, only second to talents like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

"Xiaozhi No need to be polite."

Liu Xie did not call Aiqing this time, but directly called Fa Zheng, and then said with a smile, "No wonder I saw magpies chirping on the branches as soon as I left the palace this morning. It turns out that Xiaozhi is here. This is really a golden mountain falling from the sky."

This sentence is somewhat joking, but when it comes from Son of Heaven's mouth, it carries extraordinary weight.

Fa Zheng originally wanted to have a monarch-minister showdown, but he didn't expect that Son of Heaven would be so enthusiastic when they first met, which made him feel flattered for a moment.

"Your Majesty is such a ridiculous compliment that I am ashamed to accept it!"

Fa Zheng said with a slightly excited tone.

Regardless of how true or false Son of Heaven's words are, it is undoubtedly a great honor for him, a little Colonel of Military Council who is not allowed to be reused by Liu Zhang's subordinates, to be so close to Son of Heaven just after meeting him!

Liu Xie didn't say much, and asked someone to give Fa Zheng a seat, and then asked with a smile, "I heard that Xiaozhi used to work under Liu Jiyu. How did you get to know Imperial Uncle? And why was he recommended here?"

"This is the first time Imperial Uncle has recommended talents to me."

As far as he knows, Liu Bei now has two great talents, Xu Shu and Pang Tong, but he keeps them for his own use.

Fa Zheng is as talented as the first two, but he was recommended by Liu Bei, so he is quite curious about this.

"Reply Your Majesty."

Fa Zheng bowed his hands to Liu Xie, and then said, "Governor of Yi Province Liu Jiyu pretended to make peace with Xuande and invited him to a banquet, intending to surround and kill Xuande."

"I know that Lord Xuande is a loyal minister, and I also knew that Liu Jiyu had evil intentions and had long wanted to leave."

"At that time, I saw Swordsmen and Axemen ambushing me outside the house, so I secretly informed Mr. Xuande about the matter, so I was recommended by Mr. Xuande."

"This is Letter brought to Your Majesty by Xuande's entrusted minister, please Your Majesty take a look."

Fa Zheng handed a letter to Letter with both hands.

Attendant Palace Maid stepped forward to take it, and after checking it, found nothing unusual, and then forwarded it to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie opened it and took a look.

This letter was indeed written by Liu Bei, and the content was roughly accusing Liu Zhang of his crimes, and said that the other party had the intention to rebel.
