Yang Rui's meaning was very clear. What he expressed was that he wanted to protect the Han Dynasty for sixty years. Liu Xie was a smart man. When he heard this, his eyes lit up, and his demeanor was completely different from before.
In fact, Liu Xie knew very well that the food and drink of the imperial family of the Han Dynasty, including himself, was provided by Yang Rui. If he left Yang Rui, he would almost fall into the hands of other vassals, and he would have to live a wandering life.
In this kind of situation, not to mention having any thoughts about restoring the Han Dynasty's power, it would be very difficult to maintain the status quo. Various variables could occur at any time.
Or one day, when Yang Rui was unhappy, Liu Xie and the others of the Han Dynasty would suffer. Even if he did not break the rule nominally, a powerful figure like Yang Rui could make them live a life worse than death.
It seemed that Liu Xie's fate was in the hands of Yang Rui alone. He acted according to Yang Rui's mood and whether Yang Rui was happy or not would decide whether he would live a comfortable life or be in deep trouble.
But the King of Dong Hai in front of him said that he wanted to protect the Han Dynasty for sixty years. The meaning of this was completely different. But as for the quality of life, at least the little emperor did not have to worry about his life and future from time to time.
And as time went by, there would be room for maneuver. As the saying goes, the river flows east for ten years and the river flows west for ten years. Maybe the King of Dong Hai would lose his power one day. At that time, the Han Dynasty would have a chance to make a comeback.
This was the little Emperor Liu Xie's momentary mental activity. It could not be said that he did not consider the problem long-term. He also did not expose his scheming by asking Yang Rui why he wanted to protect the Han Dynasty for 60 years. It was just that a seed had already taken root in his heart.
Yang Rui did not realize that because of his showdown, many changes in the little emperor's mentality were implicated, and there might even be some trouble in the future.
At this time, Yang Rui said what he wanted to say. The feeling of making the whole Han Dynasty look up to him made the last trace of gloom in Yang Rui's heart disappear.
Thus, it was hard to say whether Yang Rui's actions were good or bad. The most likely result was that the little Emperor Liu Xie would have some thoughts that he should not have. However, Yang Rui's heart was already incomparably clear, and his entire aura had changed once again.
After dealing with the Han Dynasty and the vassals for so long, Yang Rui did not think of some small troubles that might be caused by his showdown, but he did not care about this...
As time passed, as long as the Han Dynasty existed for a long enough time, even if he did not say anything, the little Emperor Liu Xie might have some extravagant hopes.
And Yang Rui believed that as long as his forces and strength were strong enough, even if the other party had some small schemes and schemes, Yang Rui would be able to see through them at any time and make them give up with an appropriate warning and price.
"What the King of Donghai said is reasonable. Brother, you can do your best to promote this matter on my behalf …"
The little emperor, Liu Xieyi, changed his previous submissive attitude and said directly to Yang Rui about the "Recruitment and Selection System".
In this regard, Yang Rui just cupped his hands and left without saying anything. It was also to show the little emperor, Liu Xie, that he should not be too complacent because he knew the fate of the Han Dynasty's first son.
Yang Rui's attitude was not only that. He also issued a decree on behalf of the little emperor, Liu Xie, to find 10000 palace maids from all directions for the little emperor, rebuild the West Court, and suspend three matters before the court.
His statement to the outside world was that the little emperor, Liu Xie, had reached the age of having children. At this time, with the King of Donghai acting as the government, the royal family's descendants should be the most important.
However, when it came to the matter of descendants, Yang Rui still needed to do one thing first, and that was to give the little emperor, Liu Xie, medicine.
Even Yang Rui did not know about this matter. It was decided by Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Sun Qian, and others in private. They got a kind of birth control pill from Zhang Rang and had been giving it to the little emperor, Liu Xie, for a long time.
It was not until Yang Rui mentioned the agreement with the Guardian of Civilization that Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, and Sun Qian apologized to Yang Rui one after another. They said that Yang Rui was too kind and would not agree to this matter, so they made the decision on their own.
If Yang Rui had known about this matter early on, he might not have agreed to give the little emperor, Liu Xie, birth control pills. How should he put it? It was a little too inhumane.
But now this matter had to be exposed. If this kind of medicine continued to be used on the little emperor, it might not be able to guarantee the Han Dynasty in a short period of time, let alone guarantee the survival of the Han Dynasty for sixty years.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty's descendants still needed to appear. This was also the reason why Yang Rui hired so many palace maids for the little emperor, Liu Xie, after all, had not been able to bear children before.
There was a time difference between these two matters. Yang Rui first decided to hire palace maids for the little emperor, and later learned that Cheng Yu and others had used birth control pills on him.
In the end, after the two matters were exposed, Yang Rui and the others were stunned. The two matters were contradictory, and now it was up to them to decide which one to take back.
In the end, Xun You proposed another idea, which was to make an issue out of Liu Bian. The birth control pills that should have been given to Liu Xie would still be used. As long as Liu Bian had children, it would be considered a Han Dynasty legacy.
In comparison, everyone felt that Liu Bian was less capable than Liu Xie, so Liu Bian's children should be easier to control.
Therefore, this matter was decided again amidst Yang Rui's surprise and reluctance. The palace maids were to be arranged as usual, and the selected people were placed in the territories of other forces. Yang Rui would not give any NPC Liegeman under his jurisdiction.
In addition, the quest to continue Liu Bian's bloodline was also decided. The remaining key point was how to make Liu Bian's children smoothly become Liu Xie's children, at least on the surface, so that no one would be able to tell.
This wasn't a difficult matter for these sinister men. It was just that it was a little against human nature. When Cheng Yu and the others were discussing this matter, Yang Rui felt that their method was a little unorthodox. He directly chose to leave and let them continue with their plan.
The result of this matter could not be changed, and Yang Rui's focus was not on these details. After he received the confirmation from the little emperor, he ordered Chen Lin to start drafting the details of the [Recruitment and Selection System] and the announcement.
The key points of the [Recruitment and Selection System] were also decided by Yang Rui. In the beginning of the game year, talent recruitment and selection would be held every quarter.
In the following game years, this cycle would be extended to once every half a year, and some of the special subjects would be changed to once every game year.
