The envoys were waiting at the east gate of the city where Liu Xian returned, accompanied by the county commander Wen Shen and other officials of the Yang County. In addition, there are many people watching the excitement.

When receiving the holy decree, it is necessary to kneel and receive it.

Liu Xian has no choice, at this time, he really can't openly disobey. If it is a holy decree for others, Liu Xian can ignore it and avoid it, but this is a holy decree for himself, and Liu Xian cannot avoid it.

In this way, Liu Xian's heart was extremely reluctant, and he had to kneel to accept the holy decree.

If you don't kneel down, then it is equivalent to giving the court a handle, and you can directly send someone to arrest Liu Xian.

When the envoy who read out the holy decree asked Liu Xian to kneel in a duck-like voice, the people around him knelt on the ground first. Such a situation also shows that the imperial power of the Han Dynasty still has a relatively deep influence in the minds of ordinary people.

Under such circumstances, it was indeed difficult for Liu Xian to lead these people to rebel and confront the Han court.

Although the Han Dynasty is chaotic, the authority of the Han Dynasty is still engraved in the hearts of the people.

Such a situation made Liu Xian's heart indeed feel a little uncomfortable. I have done so much for Yangshi County and Liulin Village, trying my best to get food for them to survive, and then find a way for them to have a better livelihood, give them a better future, and give them hope for a better life.

But in the end, this is still no match for a holy decree of the imperial court.

Lost, really a little lost.

It is normal for Liu Xian to have such emotions, after all, Liu Xian is not a person of this era, and it is difficult to understand the awe of the people of this era for this kind of feudal imperial power.

In the minds of the people of the Han Dynasty, the emperor and their common people are indeed one in the sky and one in the ground, the emperor is extremely majestic and supreme, and the emperor's will is the golden rule, which is unconditional obedience.

Cai Yan and Kong Xue, who were with Liu Xian, obviously also found that Liu Xian's mood was a little wrong, and knelt down with Liu Xian one left and one right, and each stretched out a hand to grab Liu Xian's arm.

The holy decree read by Qin Cha was naturally not in the vernacular, and Liu Xian didn't bother to listen to it.

The gist is that the emperor first sang praises for the first emperor, and then talked about Ma Guiren, expressing his respect and pity for Ma Guiren. Then it was to recognize Ma Guiren's acceptance of Liu Xian as a righteous son, indicating that Ma Guiren really needed a person who was filial piety before his knees. After that, Liu Xian was given the title of Marquis of Righteousness and Yong, and he could inherit the plain palace, and in addition to the fiefdom of the original plain palace, the food yi added the land of Yangshi County and Liulin Village.

The geographical location of Yangshi County and Liulin Village is separated by a river, which is equivalent to the meaning of classifying Liulin Village into Yangshi County. Of course, nominally, Liulin Village is still under the jurisdiction of Liaotao County.

On the surface, Liu Xian has really been recognized by the Han court, is a real prince, and has his own fiefdom. It's a happy event.

Therefore, both the officials of Yang's County and the common people, after listening to the holy decree read by the envoys, all cheered and congratulated Liu Xian.

For them, Liu Xian has done so much for them, and now it is a good thing that they have been rewarded by the Han court.

Ordinary officials and ordinary people, they will think that this is an extremely glorious thing, glorifying the ancestors.

Not only them, but even Uncle Zheng, and even Zheng Xuan and Tao Qiuhong, who returned together, all thought it was a good thing and a happy event.

They really don't know that Liu Xian is a postmodern person, and after coming to this era, he knows the true identity of this body, so he really doesn't care about the imperial power of the Han Dynasty at all. I don't think that the court's reward is something to be happy and honored.

Therefore, Liu Xian's heart was a little depressed.

If he could, Liu Xian would indeed not kneel to anyone casually. Kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents, even if it was the emperor, Liu Xian was unwilling to kneel to him, but now, he had to kneel to a holy decree here, kneeling in front of a palace attendant.

Well, actually, these are the little things.

This seems to be a good thing on the surface, but after reading the holy decree, the Qin messenger also changed from his original solemn and cold appearance to a smiling face, stepped forward and handed the holy decree to Liu Xian's hands, and congratulated Liu Xian.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Liu Xian had no choice but to smile at each other and enter the city with him.

The Qin messenger sent by the imperial court has actually been here for several days, and has actually sent someone to Beihai to inform Liu Xian of this matter. But Liu Xian and his entourage did not meet the person who delivered the letter. In addition, Qin Cha was not in a hurry, so he stayed in Yangshi County and waited.

Liu Xian asked Zheng Xuan, Mrs. Kong, Kong Xue and others to be sent to Liulin Village to settle down first, and he himself stayed in Yangshi County and held a banquet to receive Qincha.

Liu Xian also figured it out, there is no need to completely stand on the opposite side of the Han Dynasty now, there is really no need for that. Give yourself a reward or something, and these will not affect your current and future development.

Qin Cha is a palace attendant, in his fifties, named Zhao He.

During the banquet, Liu Xian also asked about his origin, but he was a person from Zhao Zhong in the Ten Standing Servants, and he was a fellow villager with Zhao Zhong, both of whom were from Yecheng, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to come to Yangshi County and Liulin Village to announce the decree to Liu Xian, and first went home to visit relatives, and then came to Yangshi County.

The current holy decree is just to appease Liu Xian, so Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong will definitely send their henchmen to read the holy decree. At the same time, he also repeatedly told him not to ask Liu Xian for any benefits.

Therefore, this Zhao He has no bad intentions, so, in the case of intentional flattery, on the surface, he and Liu Xian have a good conversation. kept telling Liu Xian about the prosperity of Luoyang Capital, and also introduced Liu Xian to some of the powerful people in Luoyang Capital now, etc., in general, that is to say, Luoyang singing and dancing is a paradise in the world.

Liu Xian dealt with it casually.

The next day, Zhao He left and returned to the capital to resume his life.

What made Liu Xian feel strange was that he asked Wen Shen and the others to prepare some money for this Qincha, but he actually refused.

This made Liu Xian feel that something was wrong.

Now that the Han court is corrupt, which of the servants who came out of the palace is not greedy? Not only do they not imply asking for bribes, but they don't even want basic gift-givers, which is really strange.

Liu Xian asked Wen Shen and others to prepare some money to send these envoys, which was indeed a basic routine human exchange. Even upright people such as Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi will definitely have to give them some money as a hardship fee after receiving the holy decree. These are necessary.

Huaxia has been a humane society since ancient times, not to mention that Qin sent to announce the decree, that is, a random person to his own home to pass a sentence to pass some news, then he has to give people a little hard work or something. These are normal.

But this time, Liu Xian felt very abnormal.

Liu Xian's heart was very vigilant, after all, the imperial court had already taken action against him, first summoned Ma Guiren to the capital, and then hinted that Huangfu Song would take action against him, and then simply sent Wang Yue to assassinate him.

So now he suddenly admits his identity and crowns himself as the Marquis of Righteousness, which is indeed a bit abnormal.

Liu Xian felt that there would definitely be a conspiracy in this.

But Liu Xian is not a god after all, and he really can't think of how the imperial court will deal with him at this time.

But one thing, Liu Xian can also be sure, for the time being, the imperial court will not send people to assassinate him, nor will he deal with him openly. Only then did he become a marquis, and then he sent someone to deal with him?

But Liu Xian also faintly felt that there would definitely be some big moves in the future, otherwise, he obviously wanted to kill himself, so why give himself any benefits?

This is not only the title of Liu Xian as the Marquis of Righteousness, and the land where Liu Xian was given, but also some rewards such as silk and satin.

This made Liu Xian really feel weird, and he had a feeling that he was going to be recruited.

Regardless of these, Liu Xian left for a period of time, and the city of Liulin Village had really been built. From now on, Liulin Village can indeed be renamed Liulin City.

Of course, this means that the outer city has already been built, but it will take some time for the moat outside the city walls to be dug up, and there will be water to be drawn into the moat. Before diverting water into the moat, Liu Xian naturally planned to arrange some basic defensive settings for the moat, such as arranging sharp inverted piles at the bottom of the moat.

It will definitely not be peaceful in the future, and there will definitely be the idea of the enemy to attack Liulin City, and now Liu Xian has to consider how to defend this defending city if Liulin City is attacked by the enemy.

Therefore, Liu Xian had to do the work of defending the city to the extreme, and he had to pay a great price for every step forward of the enemy army.

Liu Xian summoned all the people below to discuss and set up an imaginary enemy.

In fact, there is no need to set up an imaginary enemy, because there is still a threat from the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro.

Indeed, there are many suggestions for this discussion.

Liu appeared, and there were already many people below.

In addition to Huang Zhong's absence, Wang Yue did not show up, and Huang Xu and others, who were in charge of training military horses, were not counted.

Those who can really be called ministers are Cai Yong, Tian Feng, Zheng Xuan, Tao Qiuhong, etc., these people are really famous people in the world, no matter which one they are, they are all well-versed and knowledgeable. Moreover, they also have their own specialties in terms of talent and learning, but, without exception, they are actually masters of internal affairs.

Now, Cai Yong and Tian Feng are not only limited to the affairs of Liufu Academy, but also take into account all aspects of Yangshi County and Liulin Village during Liu Xian's absence.

Wen Shen, Liang Ji, Shan Yong, Li Yuan, etc., they have also admired Cai Yong and Tian Feng's talents and talents.

What's even more rare is that here, they can show what they have learned without any scruples. In what Liu Xian said to them, here, as long as it is beneficial to the people and development, what they think is the best thing to do, and the plans and policies they put forward can withstand scrutiny and practice, then they can be implemented immediately.

For Liulin City, they carried out a re-planning according to Liu Xian's concept.

Cai Yong and Tian Feng both believe that since Liu Xian plans to develop river transportation, he can plan it now. How? They believe that this wharf water village can be built first, and two more city walls can be built respectively, which is actually to extend along the city wall, and the area along the river in the east of the city will be included in the protection area of the city wall. The city wall was built to the river, so that the area along the river to the east of the original city wall was also a safe area. When the time comes, the wharf, the shipyard and a trade market along the river can be located in this safe zone.

It can be said that building two more city walls is equivalent to doubling the area of Liulin City at once.

In addition, in terms of defense, they all believed that outside the city walls, within three miles, the practice of fortified walls and clear fields. Of course, within three miles of the city wall, crops can be planted after the place is leveled, but it is mainly used to grow vegetables, because the cycle of growing vegetables is short, and in the event of war, even if it is damaged, it will not have much effect. If you know that the enemy is coming, you can also harvest before the enemy comes.

If the enemy is coming, according to the strength of the enemy, if the enemy is strong and ready to defend the city for a long time, then you can also do something within three miles outside the city. For example, digging traps and traps, you can do some repellent deer and horses in normal times, etc., when the enemy is coming, you can quickly move the deer and horses out and arrange them outside the city to prevent the possibility of the enemy directly attacking the city.

Anyway, whatever is beneficial, how to do it.

Liu Xian felt that their proposal was good and decided on it.

In addition, several faculties have already been built and will be ready to open at a later date.

All walks of life took it out together to discuss, and then Liu Xian decided.

After the discussion is completed, the various matters are decided.

Liu Xian said to everyone: "Everyone, the imperial court suddenly sent a messenger to announce the decree, rewarding me with the title of marquis, and admitting my identity as the young master of the Plains Palace, which seems to be a good thing on the surface. However, I felt that something was wrong, and I always felt that something was going to happen. What do you think? ”

Tian Feng resigned from the court and returned to Tian It was really not too long, and he really had a deep understanding of the traitors in the court, and he seemed to have felt it earlier, and at this time he muttered: "Young master, don't you say that Tian also wants to mention it, with the character of those traitors in the court, it is impossible for them not to ask for bribes from the young master and Lord Wen, even Lord Huangfu Song They dare to ask for 50 million money, and you, not to mention, have to ask for millions of money to be able to send them away." But they actually came to read the holy decree and left, Tian would not believe that they would change their sex no matter what. Alas, now that even Lord Huangfu Song has been dismissed, it is difficult for us to understand the meaning of the imperial court through Lord Huangfu. ”

"Hehe, that one in the imperial court, even sent assassins, there will definitely be some aftermath, so we really have to guard against it." Cai Yong also said at this time.

Cai Yong is loyal to the Han family in his bones, but it is false to say that he has no grudge against today. He was exiled several times in his life, and he was exiled everywhere, but it was all thanks to the one who is today. Now that he has taken refuge in Liu Xian, although he has never thought about rebelling or anything, he is still loyal to the Han family in his bones, but now he will really think about Liu Xian first.

After all, Liu Xian gave him a safe and stable life, and here, he felt really comfortable and happy, and he really didn't want the peaceful life here to be broken.
