To be reasonable, a man will always have more feelings for the first woman he possesses.

It was a deep impression of the first woman even if she experienced countless women later, a certain corner of her heart would always leave her place.

If you don’t marry the first possessive woman, even if you are happy after marriage, occasionally if you dream back at midnight, even if you don’t deliberately miss it, some memory fragments will emerge uncontrollably, and you want to "close the screen". If you don’t, the more you want to forget, the clearer the memory will become.

This is not only true of men, but also women.

Therefore, if his partner is not "the first time in life", even if he never appears strange, he can't avoid the existence of unspeakable secrets.

In certain matters, women are more unfeeling than men, and men are more inclined to be indecisive.

In fact, men are far more affectionate than women, but they are basically driven by a possessive desire that they have not even noticed.

Liu Yan now has as many harem beauties as he wants, but when he chooses to relax, he will come to Tuoba Xiu subconsciously. His habit is actually quite bad. If it weren't for Cui Wan's rationality, and Tuobaxiu's not too much ambition, it would have been a play of Gong Xindou.

As a queen, Cui Wan maintains the utmost restraint. Her bottom line is that Liu Shen's position should not be challenged. Otherwise, she will not fight for favor. Her concubines are different.

In fact, as long as Liu Shen's position is stable, Cui Wan's rear position will never be shaken. In this case, fighting for something else would be a failure. She had only a vague understanding at first, but her family had explained it thoroughly.

The female official told her, Tuoba Xiu went out in a daze.

It didn't take long for the four "concubine" level women to come in talking and laughing.

After crossing the threshold, they closed their voices and moved closer to Liu Yan. Except for Tuoba Xiu, the others brought their children to salute.

Tuobaxiu, who first followed Liu Yan, is 31 years old this year, and in modern terms is a young woman.

The youngest consort is Xie Daoyun, 22, and Sang Miao and Zhang Lan are both 26 years old.

In this era, women who are over twenty years old will be regarded as old women, and the best age for women to be considered is between 13 and 16 years old.

The three concubines who came here, plus the arms held in their hands, were fortunate that the indoor space was large enough, or there would be no place to stand in crowded with a dozen or so people.

Liu Yan was thinking about one thing. He didn't seem to stay away from a certain concubine for a long time. He went to Xie Daoyun to stay in bed last night. What is the trouble with coming together today regardless of the influence?

When they reached the second level below the queen of "concubine", they naturally couldn't figure out the appearance of chatting together after getting together. They were sitting on the sitting garden brought by the maid, with a reserved smile on their faces. Either talk in a low voice, or sit quietly.

Liu Yan finished watching the adults and looked at the children.

The children are more active. The courageous have already joined Liu Yan, and the courageous are either around their mother or playing with their brothers and sisters who have been playing well in the open space.

Liu Yan has 31 children, all of whom are relatively young. During the winter solstice and the New Year only, he would summon the concubines and all the children of the minor envoys (level ten) and above to the Weiyang Palace to eat together. Normally, he can hardly see all the children get together.

"Father, this is a grasshopper made by Lin'er." Seven-year-old Liu Lin held a grass cricket in his hand, looked at Liu Yan with expectant eyes, and asked, "Is it like?"

"Like." Although Liu Yan didn't impress every heir, at least he could remember the name and looks. He looked extremely similar to Liu Lin, who he looked like when he was a child, and asked with a smile, "Doing it myself?"

Liu Lin kept nodding his head like a chicken, with an expression that wanted to be complimented: "It took me four days to do it slowly. I just did it yesterday."

With Liu Lin's lead, several brothers and sisters also took out gadgets made by themselves and showed them to Liu Yan. Everyone was praised by Liu Yan.

Boys do insects, girls do small animals.

When Liu Yan asked, he knew that it was an extracurricular homework assigned by the teacher. Then he asked who the teacher assigned the homework was. After getting the name, he nodded in satisfaction.

The class teacher is not an official position, or some lecturer who is arranged to teach the prince and the prince. There is no fixed lecturer. It can be Ji Chang who doesn't need to be in class to speak, or it can be a celebrity in the wild who has a reputation in Liu Yan's ears and is invited to speak.

No matter who has the opportunity to give lectures to the prince and prince, they will not refuse, they even cherish the opportunity to have such an opportunity, and will teach the prince and prince to the height of preaching.

It is because they have reached the height of preaching that many people have the opportunity to teach to the prince and the prince, and they will generally show their full abilities. The topics they talk about are beyond the boundaries that children under ten can understand, and the results are obvious.

"Yu Xi?" Liu Yan still had a deep impression of this person: "His bones are still healthy?"

The eldest Liu Yin replied: "I often cough very badly during lectures."

Yu Xi is already seventy-three years old this year. He discovered precession and founded "Antin Theory". He is a very famous scholar south of the Yangtze River and a famous astronomer in Zhuxia history. Zhang Heng (the one who made the armillary sphere) in the Western Han Dynasty.

"Coughing a lot?" Liu Yan knew that living to seventy-three years old now is an extremely long life. If you have a severe cough at this age, you will basically be very uncomfortable: "Ill. Lecture?"

Zhuo Xiang himself was also present and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, everyone has been ill for two months. His family persuaded him not to enter the palace to give lectures and was rejected."

"Servant Cui." Liu Yan looked at Cui Zong and ordered: "Order the doctor to visit Yu Mansion."

Cui Zong naturally promised, but he didn't leave immediately.

Now there is no such thing as the personal secretary Lang. The official position of the person who always accompanied Liu Yan to serve has been changed to a close attendant, but this close attendant has never been castrated, just an official name.

The close servant belongs to the Shizhongfu, and is considered as a sixth-rank official according to his rank. Since he can serve the emperor at all times, he is definitely an out-and-out official but not inferior.

Chang'an is an imperial capital, and it is destined to attract people with lofty ideals from all over the country.

Since the Han Empire has not yet restricted population movements, the aspiring and ambitious people of the entire Han Empire will come to Chang'an regardless of their pockets.

People with good wealth, they will definitely choose to buy a house when they come to Chang'an.

But it’s not that the richer the house, the bigger the house. If you have money but don’t have enough titles, you may be able to blur some restrictions on the place, but it’s not like that in Chang'an. If you don’t have enough titles, you can honestly live in a house that fits your identity. .

Some scribes who want to come to Chang'an to find opportunities are actually more inclined to post to a certain noble person. They are well-known and have enough authentic materials. They can basically be hired. They may be taught as children, and they can also be accepted. Become a retainer.

If they have a talent for learning and don’t have enough reputation, then they have to choose to make their reputation become louder. Under normal circumstances, they can go to the Temple of Heaven square. They can set themselves in the ring or challenge. The master of the ring.

In addition, they can also contribute articles to high-ranking officials or nobles, hoping that someone will appreciate their articles.

Liu Yan usually pays more or less attention to the literary struggles on the Temple of Heaven. If there are talents, he will order people to investigate the history and past events, and eventually collect the articles of that person, but he has never personally promoted them. Appreciation will be oblique... such as ordering which Shangshu to pay attention to.

The Han Empire doesn't need to be appointed by the emperor, even if it has talents, it should be struggling step by step.

It is not that Liu Yan does not value talents, but that he needs to ensure sufficient fairness and cannot break the rules with his own hands. On the contrary, he should maintain the set rules.

In the Han empire, there was no talent but no practical work, just thinking about which golden thigh could be held, and how many years of struggle was by holding the golden thigh. Even if it is really convenient to have a golden thigh, at most, it is to enter the officialdom or enter the military, but still needs to start from the bottom.

There will be such rules, based on what kind of status you want to get, first of all, there is enough credit and what kind of results have been achieved. Without merits and achievements, his academic fame can only be passed on to the world, and he can only be a celebrity in the wild forever.

This point has actually been criticized a lot by the people. What ordinary people most want to see and hear is someone who makes a blockbuster, and then is valued by whom and whom. It takes a few years or decades to complete it in a short period of time. Achievement. They have this kind of psychology, nothing more than everyone's hope for a "shortcut".

The key lies in the word "shortcut", and the last thing a country can't exist is "shortcut", usually "shortcut" is equivalent to "cutting tricks."

It's all "by tricks", isn't it tantamount to using clever means to seek illegitimate benefits or avoid difficulties?

It is not terrible for individuals to admire "cunning" and desire "shortcuts." It would be terrible for most successful people in a country to use such methods, and it also appears dangerous to the national level.

In the early days, Liu Yan would always subconsciously use modern ideas to do things in this era. That's why his power seemed so weird in the early days.

After the power reached a scale and became formal, Liu Yan understood that being ahead was not the same as being applicable, and began to exercise self-restraint. He still likes some of the values ​​and thoughts of the general public in the current era, full of authentic Chinese flavor, but not the core of utilitarianism after Western civilization has become the mainstream.

"Let Shen'er, Ming'er..." Liu Yan called several names in succession, all of which were older heirs: "Let them go to Qinglongmen."

Cui Zong respectfully responded with "No!". This time he walked away neatly, and a smile appeared on his face when he went out.

Cui Wan, the queen, is inconvenient to do many things. For example, the four concubines come together, and the queen has to endure it even if she wants to come. The queen needs to be reserved, so there is no way to bring Liu Shen over.

Just now, Cui Zong watched all the emperor heirs surround Liu Yan and acted like a baby. He was anxious in his eyes.

"They follow me, you..." Liu Yan got up without giving any reason: "What to do, what to do."

Regardless of what the three concubines who came over wanted to say or do, Liu Yan did not intend to give a chance. He originally wanted to tell Tuoba Xiu about the Tuoba Remnant, but he had to wait for a chance to mention it later.

When Liu Yan left, he brought the princes and princes who were over five years old in the room, while those under five were looking for their own mothers. When he arrived at the Blue Dragon Gate, the prince and prince named were already waiting at the gate.

"See the emperor!"

It was Liu Shen who brought a large number of waiting brothers and sisters to salute.

"Yeah." Liu Yan had changed into his normal uniform, and a large group of people followed behind him, telling Liu Shen: "Look at your younger siblings more."

Liu Shen was also wearing regular clothes, and respectfully saluted again in response: "No!"

This time when he went out of the palace, Liu Yan remembered what happened in the Temple of Heaven, and it was a whim surrounded by children around him, and only then thought about taking his children out of the palace for a stroll.

When the emperor goes out of the palace, it is not that Liu Yan roars and just leaves. In fact, it is necessary to leave a time gap, at least let the relevant personnel go to the place where they are going to make arrangements, and there will be no fewer guards on the surface.

The so-called arrangement is not to clear the field, or to eliminate hidden dangers first, and then to enter the position for people who need to be guarded and protected in secret.

It is not a conspicuous thing to take a large group of people to go shopping in Chang'an, and it is also common for many guards to protect the surrounding area.

After all, this is Chang'an, the capital of the empire. How can there be no high-ranking officials and noble people? They don't stay at home every day, but they often take their children to go shopping. The citizens of Chang'an meet a group of adults. Shopping together is another scene with many guards~lightnovelpub.net~ I won’t be surprised at all.

"Shen'er and Yin'er ride with me." Liu Yan stood by a magnificent and wide carriage and looked around the female officer in charge of taking care of the prince and prince: "Be careful."

The emperor's eldest son Liu Mingxiao Liu Shen was one year old. He looked at Liu Shen from a distance, his eyes full of envy.

Liu Ming was born to a female official, and her biological mother Li Fei gave birth to a prince. Although she was an imperial concubine, she also became one of the concubines in the harem and earned the rank of "eight sons".

Li Fei knew exactly what kind of status she was, and she was extremely satisfied with her status as a seventh-rank "eight son" in the harem, and she really didn't dare to ask for more. She keeps herself safe, and usually teaches Liu Ming to instill the idea of ​​keeping herself safe, and even warns Liu Ming not to have any unrealistic ideas more than once.

For Liu Yan, these children are his own flesh and blood. He did not grow up in a "traditional" family. If he could not always suppress himself, he would not show such obvious difference in treatment.

Before Liu Yan boarded the car, he saw Liu Ming's envious expression. He was taken aback for a while, and then he chose to ignore it. He has his own monologue in his heart, which is good for Liu Ming and also good for the country.
