This is an extraordinary event for Princess Wannian to return to Chang'an, because her identity is really amazing. When her only sister today is the husband of Pei Qing, the most powerful prince, today, it was her husband who led the heroes of Guandong to drive away the Xiliang army and restore the Han system. This is a great contribution. I believe that her status will definitely be improved again after entering Beijing. Her status is probably not much worse than that of Princess Liu Piao, the Guantao Princess during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.

So many people thought of being able to attach themselves to this famous princess so that they could get enough benefits from her. So when Liu Ning came to Chang'an, almost all the powerful people in the court came to greet her, including the emperor himself, and they all set up their imperial carriages and greeted her in person.

"Sister, I really miss you to death." In front of the civil and military officials and the onlookers, the young emperor threw himself into Liu Ning's arms and cried bitterly as if he had seen his parents' children.

Of course, Liu Ning could only do his best to comfort the little emperor. Although he is the only emperor in the world, he is also his own brother and his only relative in the world. What's more, he is just a twelve-year-old boy.

"Sister, it's really boring to be this emperor. I've been frightened all day long. Since I became this emperor, I haven't lived a good life. Otherwise, I won't be this emperor. You should help me..."

"I'm confused, your throne was passed down by our ancestors. How can you say you don't want it? Do you deserve it?" Liu Ning was actually very moved after hearing the little emperor's words, because she was confident that her ability would definitely be much stronger than her younger brother. At least she had a strong personality and a cowardly brother. If she became the emperor, she might be able to maintain half of the great Han Dynasty. Even if Pei Qing was willing to help him, she might reorganize the country and unify her again.

But Liu Ning also knew that the current situation had just settled down. If she ascended the throne, it would definitely cause greater turmoil in the world. Besides, being an empress is unprecedented after all. Although the Han Dynasty was open-minded at that time, if she really became the emperor, there would not be any guardians to blame him. However, this would create an excuse for the heroes to turmoil, which would make the stormy man even worse.

So Liu Ning could only try his best to the little emperor, so that he would not have any other thoughts and be his emperor, and said to him: "You should be your emperor with peace of mind. Sister is your strong backing. When you are in danger, Sister can help you." When the little emperor heard this, he felt that his heart was full of confidence and said excitedly: "Good sister, you can really help me at the critical moment."

Then the little emperor and Liu Ning returned to the palace on the imperial chariot together. At the beginning, Liu Ning refused, but the little emperor insisted repeatedly. Liu Ning felt that the little emperor also expected his help anyway, and riding in the imperial chariot was at most a kind of honor for the emperor and it was not considered an offense, so he no longer refused and went directly to the imperial chariot.

After returning to the palace, the little emperor immediately announced that he would grant Princess Wannian Liu Ning the title of Princess Pingyang, and opened the palace, and ordered Princess Pingyang to be the captain of the Sili School, General Pei Qing of the chariot and cavalry, and General Dong Cheng of the Cavalry to be recorded in the Shangshu.

As soon as the young emperor said this, it immediately caused shock to the court and the people, because there were not many eldest princesses in the history of the Han Dynasty. During the former Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty), there were six people including Princess Guantao and Princess Wei. During this dynasty, there were only three sisters, Princess Huyang, Princess Ningping, and Princess Wuyang, the sister Princess Ningping, and Princess Wuyang. According to the Han Dynasty system, the general princess ritual suits were comparable to those of the marquis, and the Princess' ritual suits could be compared to the vassal kings. Even so, this was actually expected. However, the young emperor asked the princess to open the palace and record the affairs of the Shangshu, which was really shocking, because this meant that the Han Dynasty had a female king with real military and political power, and this king also became one of the prime ministers of the dynasty. Such a great power had never happened in history.

Although the little emperor asked Dong Cheng to record the Secretary of the Secretariat again, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dong Cheng was just a show of his behavior. No matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to fight against the common pressure from Pei Qing and Princess Pingyang at the same time.

So this appointment almost means that the little emperor has let Pei Qing and Liu Ning handle the affairs of the court.

After the news spread, it immediately aroused dissatisfaction among many princes. The brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu first expressed their opinion, saying that Pei Qing used power to control the emperor and forced the emperor to make such decisions. Such a wolfish ambition would be punished by everyone in the world.

Then again, news came out that the emperor would personally hold a wedding for the Sili Captain Pei Qing and the Pingyang Grand Princess Liu Ning in half a month, and ordered officials from all over the country to go to celebrate.

This news naturally caused another sensation. Pei Qing's strength had already aroused fear. Once he got married to Princess Pingyang, Pei Qing's strength and influence would definitely increase again. He has a huge territory in the entire Yuzhou and the Sanfu Land. With such huge political resources, more than 100,000 soldiers under his command would definitely become the number one threat to their future development.

"We must never let things go so smoothly." Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are indeed worthy of being brothers, and even their ideas are surprisingly consistent.

Then Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both came up with the easiest way, which is to assassinate.

Of course, they also knew that assassination of Pei Qing would never be so simple, so they would not do such unsure things. So they all targeted the target of the assassination of Princess Liu Ning. As long as Liu Ning was assassinated, even if Pei Qing's political resources were gone, it might also cause the emperor to vent his anger at Pei Qing, which would naturally cause a lot of trouble for Pei Qing.

So Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu each spent a lot of money to find several assassins and asked these assassins to assassinate the Princess Pingyang Liu Ning at the wedding.

At the same time, Cao Cao, who received the news, decided to go to Chang'an in person. On the one hand, he expressed his loyalty to the emperor, and on the other hand, he also had his own purpose. Anyway, the overall situation has been decided, most of Yanzhou has been recovered, and only one Taishan County is left. Cao Cao led a heavy army to occupy Taishan County. Lu Bu could not hold on for a few days unless he fled from Taishan to Xuzhou.

But did Tao Qian, the Muslim of Xuzhou, dare to take Lu Bu in regardless of his own face? Even if he gave him three courages, he would not dare, otherwise he would not mind leading his army to sweep Xuzhou in order to further expand his strength and thus complete the siege of Yuzhou.
