The officials said a word, and Liu Xie had made up his mind, no matter how Ao Lie prevaricated, he could never change the final ending. Immediately, Liu Xie was very fluent in dictation, while splashing ink with his own handwriting, and wrote on the bright yellow holy decree: Champion Hou, hussar general, and Ao Lie, the governor of the five northern states, was originally from the royal family, and was the same as me according to the royal genealogy. During his reign in Yanzhao, he performed miraculous feats, pacified the turmoil of foreign races in northern Xinjiang, and successively made several foreign races such as the Xiongnu surrender to the Han Dynasty, accepted Sinicization, and added luster to the territory of the Han Dynasty. It also cares about the Han and has repeatedly saved the Han in trouble, and has made great contributions in the midst of fire and water. Therefore, now add Ao Lie as the king of Yan, give nine tin, enjoy the privilege of entering the court, praise and worship, and go to the palace with a sword, and the five northern states are still under the control of the king of Yan, all in Yanjing, and the country name is Yan. Wherever King Yan went, it was like me coming in person. Chin this!

When Liu Xie's holy decree was written, although the Manchu Dynasty had long known that Liu Xie's reward for Ao Lie would be very heavy, he was still taken aback. Feng Ao Lie as the king, this is an agreement reached by Liu Xie and the hundred officials a long time ago, there is nothing surprising; Let Ao Lie have three privileges such as not entering the court, which is also the privilege that Liu Xie has long let Ao Lie enjoy, and everyone has long been surprised; But Liu Xie gave Ao Lie Jiuxi, which is a bit of a special treatment, nine is extremely numerous, Jiuxi itself represents a very high honor and honor, often crowned Jiuxi people, a deeper meaning, is regarded as the successor of the Son of Heaven, especially after Wang Mang usurped the government, Jiuxi has almost become synonymous with usurpation, some people with heavy troops, often have to ask the puppet emperor to reward them with Jiuxi first, occupy a place in the righteousness, so as to carry out a formal usurpation conspiracy.

But Ao Lie was different this time, Ao Lie was awarded Jiuxi. It is completely Liu Xie's willingness, and Liu Xie's subconscious meaning is to use such a method to tell the people of the world that if Liu Xie unfortunately dies one day, the Han will not fall back into turmoil, because there is also Ao Lie! At this moment, Ao Lie was officially appointed by Liu Xie as the successor of the next Son of Heaven!

There is another proof of Liu Xie's intention, that is, in the last part of the holy decree. Liu Xie bluntly said that wherever King Yan went, it was like the Son of Heaven coming in person. Liu Xie's words are already very explicit, and he has the intention of hand-picking Ao Lie as the first heir to the throne. Glance. Moreover, Liu Xie also pointed it out in the holy decree. Ao Lie's Yan Kingdom. Will the capital be set in Yanjing, what is Yanjing? That is one of the alternate imperial capitals of the Han Dynasty, and being the king in the alternate imperial capital is not an honor that anyone can have.

What the officials can figure out, Ao Lie can naturally think through. Liu Xie's holy decree has put Ao Lie in the position of the heir of the Son of Heaven. It's almost a formal appointment, which is not surprising, Ao Lie is Liu Xie's royal brother, if Ao Lie is made the crown prince. It's really against etiquette. But for the identity of the heir of the Son of Heaven, Ao Lie is not happy at all, because Ao Lie does not want to be the Son of Heaven at all, since ancient times, the height is unbearable, as the status is getting higher and higher, Ao Lie knows that he is bound to become another person, a lonely person. In all fairness, Ao Lie still likes to be like this, where he can make innocuous jokes with his brothers and get drunk from time to time, even though he doesn't drink well. If you become the emperor and become the son of heaven, those brothers who are close to you on weekdays will definitely have more jealousy, and less intimacy, as the so-called companion is like a tiger, let alone a strong monarch like Ao Lie?

On the other hand, the current Ao Lie, from his heart, he only wants to have a clear conscience and do his part for the peace of the world, although it is gratifying to succeed, it is not a big deal to fail, because Ao Lie knows that the tide of history will always move forward, and the day will come when the world will end the war and reunite again, Ao Lie is now just doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven; But if the identity of the heir of the Son of Heaven is confirmed, a heavy burden will be invisibly pressed on Ao Lie's shoulders, making Ao Lie feel a great responsibility at all times, for a person like Ao Lie, whose soul comes from the afterlife, and who is keen on exploration and martial arts, this responsibility is really too heavy.

I knew that Lu Dao was like this, and I should have led the troops back to the river overnight last night, Ao Lie thought with annoyance. In this situation, Liu Xie's reward can't be pushed away no matter what, and it seems that his own Yan King is going to be decided. Forget it, if you are crowned king, you will be crowned king, anyway, you are not an emperor, Liu Xie is in the mood for love, it is still early to give way to himself, he can still live as before, it's a big deal to bother more for the people of the Han Dynasty, anyway, it's not a day or two, it's a year or two years.

Seeing that he couldn't resign, Ao Lie had no choice but to comfort himself and accept Liu Xie's canonization. After receiving Jiuxi and other objects, Ao Lie no longer dared to stay in Luoyang, he was afraid that Liu Xie was making something he couldn't accept, so he immediately formally submitted his resignation to Liu Xie and the civil and military officials in the early court.

Liu Xie is not retaining Ao Lie, after all, the war in Hebei is tight, and no one will feel at ease without Ao Lie presiding over the overall situation. Because of the war, the ceremony of Ao Lie being crowned King Yan was extremely simple, and there was no series of cumbersome activities to set up an altar to worship heaven and earth. As soon as the early dynasty ended, Liu Xie took hundreds of civil and military officials to see off Ao Lie, and this send-off was twenty miles away. On the way to see him off, Liu Xie rode on a white horse, kept keeping pace with Ao Lie, stretched out his right hand to pull Ao Lie's left hand, with endless reluctance, chattering and talking, it seemed that in front of Ao Lie, Liu Xie, who was very calm on weekdays, had endless and inexhaustible heartfelt words.

No matter how slow the speed of progress is, the distance of twenty miles has finally come to an end, and it is time to separate again. Liu Xie let go of his right hand, turned over and dismounted, stood respectfully on the side of the road, and said loudly: "See off King Yan!" The civil and military officials hurriedly turned over and dismounted, divided into two columns, and followed neatly and said: "The ministers are seeing off King Yan!" ”

Liu Xie surrendered his identity and saw himself off like a little scholar, which really moved Ao Lie's heart. Ao Lie turned over and dismounted, saluted Liu Xie and the hundred officials, and said with emotion: "How can a certain virtue be able to do it, I am really ashamed to see off the Son of Heaven and everyone." ”

Two tears slipped out of Liu Xie's eyes, and he said in a sincere tone: "I am the Son of Heaven, but I am also the younger brother of the imperial brother, and it is natural for the younger brother to see off the elder brother." Without his brother's many years of teaching and help, would Liu Xieyan be able to sit firmly in the Dragon Court? Maybe he will have become the king of the fallen country long ago; If there were no brothers who fought in the south and north to deter the Quartet, the world would have known how many people were emperors and how many people were kings. The reason why Dahan has today's ZTE is inseparable from the credit of the elder brother, please let the younger brother help the elder brother to get on the horse. ”

As he spoke, Liu Xie took two steps forward and pulled Ao Lie towards the Night Snow Dragon Horse. Ao Lie could feel that Liu Xie's hands were trembling at the moment, at this moment, Liu Xie was no longer the controller of the big man, but an ordinary big boy next door who could no longer be ordinary, with excitement and reluctance, he was sending his brother on the expedition.

Turning over and jumping on the back of the horse that was shining in the night, Ao Lie felt that his eyes were also a little moist, and he saluted Liu Xiehe and Baiguan again on the horseback, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, take care!" I must return my big man as soon as possible! There will be a period later! ”

Liu Xie took two steps back, tears welled up in his eyes again, folded his hands, and said to Ao Lie, "Brother, take care." The officials were also thrilled by this touching scene in front of them, and many of them had already shed tears, and in a sobbing voice, they shouted to Ao Lie: "King Yan take care!" ”

At the end, Ao Lie glanced at Liu Xie deeply, and there was encouragement and appreciation in his eyes; There is the sorrow of parting, and there is also the expectation that he will see him again one day...... Countless thoughts were all intertwined in this one look and passed to Liu Xie. Although Ao Lie's eyes were so complicated, Liu Xie still understood it, because they were brothers, brothers who had gone through life and death together, and had the same roots.

In the movement of the murderous Blood Killing Army and the Tiger Ben Army, Ao Lie finally left quietly, just as he arrived quietly, leaving only a stable Luoyang, but not taking a trace of clouds with him.

Watching Ao Lie drift away and finally disappear from sight, Liu Xie still stood in place and watched, refusing to leave for a long time. No one can understand his current mood, and even Liu Xie himself can't tell why he is so attached to Ao Lie.

Liu Xie is not a fool, whether it is the puppet Han Xiandi in history, or Liu Xie, who is now developing towards a generation of Ming monarchs, his intelligence is undoubted, canonizing the king with a different surname is a destruction of the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, this point, Liu Xie is not ignorant of the Tao, but he still did it, because he felt that if there was someone who could stand up to save the Han, then this person must be Ao Lie. Liu Xie believes in Ao Lie, and this trust has transcended all shackles.

As Liu Xie himself said, it was Ao Lie's teaching and support over the years that allowed Liu Xie to gradually control the situation, with his own imperial forest army and regular army, get rid of the embarrassing situation of the puppet emperor, and regain the dignity and prestige that the emperor of the Han Dynasty should have.

The emperor's mind is the thinking hidden in the heart of every emperor, even if he is a mediocre emperor, he also has his own little abacus, Liu Xie is naturally no exception, he clearly knows that delegating power to one person in this way will make the Han Jiangshan who has just improved a little bit fall into turmoil again. But Liu Xie is first of all a person, followed by the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, is a person will have a heart of gratitude, the current country is Ao Lie's bloody struggle to fight, Liu Xie is just sitting back and enjoying its success, if one day, Ao Lie wants to take back this country from Liu Xie's hands, Liu Xie also feels understandable, after all, in the process of rebuilding this country, Ao Lie's contribution is much more than Liu Xie, and Ao Lie is not an outsider, the Han Dynasty's country ultimately belongs to the Han Dynasty, and did not fall into the hands of outsiders.

However, Liu Xie knew that Ao Lie would never take the initiative to take back the country, because in Ao Lie's eyes, love and righteousness would always be much more important than the country. (To be continued......)
