Chapter 498: Ice Release Suspicion
However, even so, the Gongsun Yuan case was the lowest punishment, which also made Lü Bu realize that there were still many imperfections in the laws of the Han Empire, which needed to be improved.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, 218 arrives, which is the tenth year of Xinghan, and it is the tenth anniversary of Lu Bu's accession to the throne.
The central government had already issued an edict that the fifth day of the fifth month of May was designated as the National Day, as the founding anniversary of the Han Empire, and on this day in 191, Lü Bu and his army entered Chang'an City for the first time.
On this day, Chang'an City will have a grand military parade, which will be held on Zhuque Avenue, and 100,000 Han troops will participate in the parade.
The envoys of many countries in Chang'an have been notified and invited, and the monarchs of some countries have promised to come to Chang'an to participate in the celebrations.
To this end, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Han government also renovated and expanded the original post house in order to entertain the monarchs of various countries.
Since March, there have been foreign heads of state arriving in Chang'an, after all, the traffic was inconvenient at that time, in order not to miss the event, it was necessary to go on the road in advance.
When the king of that small country arrived, he was received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Fa Zheng, and a banquet was held.
But in mid-April, the arrival of a foreign mission alarmed Lu Bu.
Lu Bu personally went out of the city twenty miles and came to greet him.
It turned out that Liu Bei, the king of the Ninan Kingdom, personally led the delegation and prepared extremely rich gifts to congratulate him, and he also took this opportunity to really release his past suspicions with Lu Bubing.
Lu Bu sat on the imperial chariot and looked forward to Liu Bei's mission coming from the sea.
When he received that Liu Bei wanted to personally lead the mission to congratulate him, Lü Bu sent someone to inform the Pacific Fleet of the Central Navy, and Gan Ning personally led the naval fleet to escort Liu Bei's fleet, which went north by water.
Cross the mouth of the Yangtze River, enter from the Yellow River, change to the ships of the Han army at Lijin Water Village, go straight to Fenglingdu, and then arrive at Chang'an by land.
Liu Bei had already left, but the journey was far away, and he still walked for two months to arrive.
Seeing Liu Bei's convoy arriving from a distance, Lu Bu personally got out of the car and walked forward to greet him, followed by the crown prince Lu Kang and hundreds of civil and military officials.
Liu Bei heard that Lu Bu was already waiting in front of the convoy, so he hurriedly got out of the car to meet Lu Bu.
Lu Bu and Liu Bei finally clasped their hands and looked at each other, feeling a lot of emotion.
The two had known each other since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but from that time on, Lu Bu regarded Liu Bei as an opponent like Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shao.
Why didn't Liu Bei become an enemy of Lu Bu from that time?
Liu Bei is four years older than Lu Bu, and his temples have long been gray, but he looks more than ten years older than Lu Bu.
Lu Bu even sighed that once upon a time, he just wanted to get rid of Liu Bei and Cao Cao as soon as possible, and there was no reason at all, just because he knew that they were the biggest heroes in the world.
It was his own birth and his own cheating that prevented the emergence of the Three Kingdoms Era, and changed the situation of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, the butterfly effect.
In the end, although the Three Kingdoms also appeared, it was the Han Dynasty that replaced Liu Bei's Shu State, and it was a dominant family.
Because of Zhang Fei and Ma Dai, Ma Chao and Guan Yu did not participate in this National Day ceremony.
Guan Yu is the crown prince Liu Chan who assisted Liu Bei in Rinan, and if he did not come from the north, he could never forgive Lu Bu for killing his third brother Zhang Fei.
Ma Chao did not attend the ceremony for the same reason, and he could not forgive Liu Bei and Pang Tong for harming Ma Dai in the past.
Pang Tong, as the prime minister of the southern kingdom of Japan, also visited with Liu Bei, but it was the first time he and Lu Bu met.
However, Lu Bu came to greet Liu Bei and his old classmate Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong saw the infinite scenery Zhuge Kongming, and he still had a trace of sour feeling in his heart.
However, as a smart person, he, like Liu Bei, has also let go of those senseless vanities, and he has already accepted his fate.
Lu Bu very enthusiastically accompanied Liu Bei to sit on his royal chariot together, and entered Chang'an City and Weiyang Palace under the welcome of the people of Chang'an.
Before the grand welcome dinner, Lu Bu separately summoned Liu Bei and Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and the crown prince Lu Kang to accompany him.
The two monarchs reminisced about their youth, and when they exterminated the Yellow Turban Bandits, they were also young people in their twenties.
Since then, it has been a series of ups and downs, Tiger Pass, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and the scenes are like yesterday.
Liu Bei laughed and said that he was like a lost dog being chased around by Lu Bu, and he was beaten away as soon as he made a stab history.
Lu Bu also bluntly said that he attaches the same importance to Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the same dare not slack off, and the same desire to kill quickly.
He also expressed his respect for Liu Bei, and especially admired Liu Bei's indomitable spirit, who was defeated and fought repeatedly, and never admitted defeat.
Liu Bei once again expressed that he had accepted his fate, this time he really surrendered sincerely, and he was unwilling to hide in Tibet anymore, he only hoped to enjoy his old age in Ninan and pass on the incense of the Liu family.
He is willing to vigorously spread the Han culture of the Central Plains in Southeast Asia, spread Confucianism, enlighten the local natives, expand the living space for the Han people, do a good job of foreign aid and loyal vassals of the Central Plains Dynasty, and never betray.
Lu Bu accepted his oath of allegiance, but also abandoned his previous suspicions, and did not blame the past, hoping that Liu Bei would do what he said, always be a vassal of the Han Dynasty, and never betray.
The Han Empire could support the Nisan Kingdom in industry, agriculture, technology, trade, and other aspects, and allowed the maritime caravans of the Nisan Kingdom to trade within the seas controlled by the Han Empire.
According to the previous agreement between the two parties, Cam Ranh Bay was permanently leased to the Central Navy of the Han Empire as one of the largest naval bases in Southeast Asia.
The Han Empire provided military protection to the Kingdom of Ninan, and the two sides signed a non-aggression pact, and the Kingdom of Ninan pledged not to deal with the Kingdom of Wu alone.
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, even if the Dragon Boat Festival is the National Day of the Han Empire, it has finally arrived.
Because it is the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there is a grand military parade in Chang'an City, and the parade army will enter from the Bacheng Gate in the east, go out to the city gate in the west, and advance along the Suzaku Avenue that runs through the east and west.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City and hundreds of thousands of people in nearby areas who heard the news will observe this once-in-a-decade event, and the last time Lu Bu's military parade was held today in 191, when he first entered Chang'an City.
The white horse passed by, and in a blink of an eye, twenty-seven years had passed, and many things were things and people.
The buildings of Chang'an City are larger than those years, more popular, more densely populated, and the scale of Chang'an City has expanded outward for more than ten miles.
The permanent population of Chang'an City has also grown from 100,000 people to 600,000 or 700,000 today, and it is probably the most populous metropolis in the world today.
