Chapter 286

He had to get his hands on cultivation methods and the like, no matter what.

This was what the Lord wanted.

Nanhua pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded: "Done! I'll trade!"

"Haha! Good!"

Next, they began to discuss the specific exchange price of the Blood-Qi Pill.

In Jiangling City,

"Have you thought of a name for the child?"

Su Lie held his grandson and asked Su Xuan.

Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang, Su's mother, Xun Cai, and others also looked over.

"Naturally!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "This is my first child; as the eldest legitimate son, let's call him Su Ping! I have also thought of his courtesy name, let's call him Zi'an."

"Oh?"

Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "Peace? Although it is simple, the implication is not bad!"

"I hope this child can grow up safely and live a peaceful and happy life."

"Indeed! Peace is more important than anything!"

Su Lie, Su's mother, Xun Cai, and others also nodded in unison.

"Uh..."

Su Xuan was speechless; he really wanted to say that this "Ping" (Peace) is actually the "Ping" of pacifying the world, and "An" (Peace) is also the "An" of pacifying the world!

Although it also has the implication of peace and happiness, it is mainly about pacifying the world.

After all, his future goal is to unify the world, recreate the universe, and become the emperor.

The implication of his eldest legitimate son's name should naturally be related to this, and should also be more domineering.

However, seeing that they were all so happy, he was too lazy to explain, so as not to get scolded.

After all, pacifying the world and settling the world is somewhat rebellious for the time being, and it is not the time to say it openly.

In a flash, more than half a year passed.

At this time, Su Xuan crouched down, supporting little Su Ping as he walked slowly.

Perhaps because Su Xuan's genes were strong, or perhaps because of the efficacy of Su Xuan's fetal-calming pills.

The child was born with an exceptionally strong physique and grew very quickly.

He was only 9 months old, but he could already barely walk.

And he could already call him "Daddy," which made Su Xuan very happy.

"Lord, urgent report from Luoyang!"

At this time, Jia San ran over, and seeing Su Ping was also there, he hurriedly lowered his voice to report.

"Oh? Tell me!"

Su Xuan glanced at Jia San and replied with a smile.

At this time, Xun Cai walked over and took little Su Ping away, so as not to disturb Su Xuan's official business.

Seeing this, Su Xuan stood up, took Jia San to the Administrator's Office, and called Xi Zhicai, Xun You, and the others.

Then, he said to Jia San: "Go ahead!"

"Yes!"

Jia San immediately accepted the order: "Recently, the Son of Heaven announced the establishment of the Eight Colonels of the Western Garden."

"Currently, they are already in urgent preparation!"

"The Son of Heaven himself holds the position of Supreme General; the Colonel of the Upper Army has been determined, and it is the eunuch Jian Shuo."

"The Colonel of the Central Army is the Tiger-Brave General of the Household Yuan Shao; the Colonel of the Lower Army is the Colonel Dun Ti, Bao Hong."

"The Colonel of the Military Discipline is Cao Cao; the Assistant Colonel of the Left Army is Zhao Rong; the Assistant Colonel of the Right Army is Feng Fang."

"The Colonel of the Left Army is Xia Mou; the Colonel of the Right Army is Chunyu Qiong."

Su Xuan nodded in realization: "I know!"

"It is just as I expected! This Son of Heaven has once again created some farce!"

"Actually wanting to let eunuchs command troops to check He Jin and the Yuan clan is simply naive!"

"Look, more than half of these Eight Colonels are people from He Jin and the Yuan clan; how much of these troops can he ultimately control?"

"In the end, doesn't it just foster the military power of He Jin and the Yuan clan in Luoyang?"

You want to recruit troops and buy horses, and you want to do it without the consent of the Grand General He Jin and the scholar clan alliance of the Yuan clan; is that possible?

It is simply impossible!

If you can't make them satisfied, you won't even be able to recruit many young men, let alone military equipment, warhorses, and grain.

How much can the eunuchs provide?

Yes! The eunuchs also have some influence in the localities, but that is only if the scholar clans don't block them.

Otherwise, they won't even be able to send a single grain into Luoyang.

The Eight Colonels of the Western Garden are themselves a path to disaster!

"Indeed!"

Xun You also nodded speechlessly: "The Son of Heaven wants to resist, wants to struggle, but he has found the wrong method!"

"However, I don't blame him; this is probably the only method he could think of!"

Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders: "Who can be blamed for this? He himself is suspicious, greedy for money, and licentious; he has never dared to truly trust even a meritorious official like the Lord whom he personally promoted; how can he change the decaying status quo of the Great Han?"

He didn't believe that if he wholeheartedly trusted and reused Su Xuan, Su Xuan would really rebel against him?

Guo Jia didn't think it was possible.

Because, after several years of contact, he knew that his Lord was not the kind of person who forgets favors.

Whoever is good to him, he will be doubly good to others.

But once someone shows bad signs toward him, his Lord is also a decisive person and will immediately carry out countermeasures.

It is a pity that the Son of Heaven had long since missed the opportunity to borrow the Lord's strength!

Now, even if he is willing to completely trust and reuse the Lord, the kind without reservation.

The Lord can no longer go back.

Many things, once a choice is made, there is no turning back.

Cheng Yu also nodded with a cold sneer: "He himself is not an emperor with perseverance and willpower."

"He always has a three-minute heat for things; once a difficulty appears, he wants to give up."

"He wants to lie flat and enjoy himself; how can such an emperor truly change the Great Han?"

Liu Hong is not a stupid emperor, and he has some ability, but his character flaws are too great.

He is destined not to become the restorer of the Great Han.

Instead, in his hands, the last bit of vitality of the Great Han has almost been exhausted.

The Great Han is basically already beyond saving.

Who told him to be so able to toss and turn?

Tian Feng also shook his head helplessly: "He is just such a person! He thinks of one thing and then another."

"He listens to one-sided words, is impulsive and irritable, and is also very naive!"

"In March of this year, Liu Yan suggested abolishing the Inspectorate and establishing the Governor system; he actually agreed to this political decree that anyone with a discerning eye could see was a path to chaos and disaster?"

"He actually believed that Liu Yan was doing it for the good of the Great Han? To help him?"

"After so many years, hasn't he ever tried to understand this person Liu Yan?"

"Does he know that Liu Yan has already become a local emperor in Yizhou and has no intention of helping him at all?"

"That Liu Yu has some ability, and his heart is also toward the Great Han, but what is the use?"

"He simply cannot change the general trend!"

"The key is that this person is also very pedantic and stupid; when the Great Han is weak and the northern alien tribes are eyeing it covetously, he doesn't think about weakening the alien tribes, but instead chooses a policy of appeasement, chooses to soothe the alien tribes, and develops trade with them to satisfy their needs."

"I heard that because Gongsun Zan implemented a policy contrary to his, constantly killing alien tribes, he was excluded and hated by him; it is simply ridiculous!"

Although he is from Jizhou, he also knows how many evil things the northern Hu Ren have done to the people of Youzhou and Bingzhou.

Dealing with these prairie evil wolves, one can only beat them to death to show one's own military force to scare them.

What use can a policy of appeasement have other than fattening them up?

He is also a piece of trash.
