In the inn, Sun Jianlong sat by the window, his brows furrowed, his eyes looked out of the window from time to time, as if he was looking for something.

His heart was extremely heavy, because he had never come up with a way to deal with Xi Yu.

He knew that Xi Yu was a very powerful enemy, and he couldn't despise him or underestimate him.

Just when Sun Jianlong was distressed, he suddenly heard a noise outside.

He walked out of the inn and saw a lot of people running in the direction of the castle tower.

His heart moved, grabbed a passerby, and inquired about the situation.

Passers-by told him: "Today the king will appear in the city tower, and he will include the entire Central Plains in his territory." ”

When Sun Jianlong heard this, he was overjoyed.

He has been looking for Xi Yu, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet him today.

He decided to go to the castle tower to see what kind of person Xi Yu was.

Sun Jianlong followed the crowd to the city tower.

He looked up and saw Xi Yu standing on top of the city tower, wearing a silver-white robe, the wind blowing his hair, and his eyes revealed an incomparably powerful confidence and majesty.

Sun Jianlong was shocked in his heart, he suddenly remembered that day.

That day, he met a thief on the street, and he was about to catch him, but was preempted by a young man.

That young man was Xi Yu, he was agile, knocked the thief to the ground in three or two strokes, and sent him to the official mansion.

Sun Jianlong was very grateful to Xi Yu at that time, and chatted with him a few words. He felt that Xi Yu was a righteous and awe-inspiring, brave and resourceful person.

He didn't expect that today, he would see him again here. It turned out that he was still his enemy.

Sun Jianlong was full of emotion in his heart. He didn't know how to face Xi Yu, and he didn't know how to make enemies of him.

He only felt that his heart was full of contradictions and confusion.

The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing, and Xi Yu stood on top of the city tower, and behind him was a big red flag with the word "Han" written on it.

His gaze swept over the crowd below, and he saw that their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.

His heart was full of ambition, and he knew that he was about to change the fate of the country and make it prosperous.

Xi Yu cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, today is a historic moment. After years of hard work, we have finally achieved the unification of the world. All the minor princes are willing to give up the city so that we can build a strong state. ”

His words caused a round of cheers and applause. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Long live the king!" ”

Xi Yu smiled and nodded, and continued: "All this is inseparable from everyone's efforts and support. Here, I would like to give special thanks to one person, who is our Emperor. ”

At this time, another person appeared at the city gate, it was Liu Xie.

Dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe, he slowly walked up to the city tower under the leadership of several soldiers. When everyone saw Liu Xie, they knelt down and saluted, shouting long live.

Liu Xie smiled and waved his hand and said, "Everyone is flat." ”

Xi Yu turned around, faced Liu Xie, bowed deeply, and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. ”

Liu Xie said: "It's all your credit. You are not afraid of hardships and dangers, fight in the south and in the north, and finally realize the unification of the world. I'm so proud of you. ”

Xi Yu said: "Your Majesty has praised it. This is due to the leadership of His Majesty, the heroic struggle of the soldiers, and the support and trust of the people. Chan just did what I was supposed to do. ”

Liu Xie said: "You are right. However, now that the world has decided, we should do something for the people. They have endured wars and hardships over the years, and we should let them live a stable and happy life. ”

Xi Yu said: "Your Majesty is very right. The minister has formulated a series of policies and measures to promote economic development and improve people's livelihood. I believe that under the leadership of Your Majesty, we will be able to achieve the prosperity of our country and the peace and contentment of our people. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you." I believe in your abilities. ”

Xi Yu said: "Your Majesty Xie." The minister must do his best to live up to His Majesty's expectations. ”

Liu Xie looked at everyone and said, "In order to achieve long-term peace and stability in the country, we need to carry out some reforms. I have decided that from this day onwards, the monarchy will be abolished and a constitutional monarchy will be introduced. ”

Liu Xie's words caused an uproar.

The people were talking about it, not knowing what this constitutional monarchy meant.

Liu Xie saw the reaction of the people, smiled, and said, "Subjects, don't panic. This constitutional monarchy means that we want to build a democratic, free, and equal country. In this country, everybody has a voice, everybody has the right to vote, everybody has the right to oversee. We want the people to truly become the masters of the country. ”

After that, he told him about the situation, of course, all this was told to him by Xi Yu.

At this time, a guard stepped forward and handed Liu Xie an edict.

Liu Xie took the edict, opened it and glanced at it, and then said: "In order to achieve this goal, I have decided that from today onwards, Xi Yu will be the prime minister of our Han Dynasty, responsible for handling the country's government affairs. On the other hand, I took a back seat, retaining only the title of emperor and no longer interfering with the affairs of the country. ”

Liu Xie's words caused a round of cheers and applause.

Liu Xie said: "I believe that under the leadership of Xi Yu, our country will become more prosperous and prosperous, and the people will live a happier and more fulfilling life." ”

Liu Xie turned and left, leaving behind the people with surprised and admired faces.

At this time, in the crowd, an old man in gorgeous clothes said: "This emperor is really bold enough to make such a decision." ”

A young man next to him said, "Yes, but I still don't quite understand what this constitutional monarchy means. ”

The old man said: "To put it simply, it means that the emperor delegates power to the ministers, and let the ministers run the country. This would reduce the burden on the emperor and also make the country more stable. ”

The young man said, "Oh, I see. In this way, isn't the emperor an ornament? ”

The old man said: "Although the emperor no longer governs the country, he is still a symbol of the country and has high prestige and power. Moreover, the emperor could also influence the country's decision-making in other ways. ”

The young man said, "Well, I see. In this way, doesn't Xi Yu become the actual person in power? ”

The old man said: "That's right, Xi Yu will become the prime minister and hold the actual power of the country. However, he is not completely unlimited, and he needs to be supervised and constrained by Parliament. ”

The young man said, "Parliament? What is that? ”

The old man said: "The parliament is a body composed of ministers and nobles, and Xi Yu needs the support of the parliament to carry out his own policies. ”

"I originally thought that His Majesty would abdicate and make Xian and let Xi Yu be the emperor. Unexpectedly, he just delegated power to Xi Yu, and he still retained the name of the emperor. ”

"I also think it's weird. However, this is fine, at least the country will not be in turmoil because of the change of emperor. ”

"I think it's a conspiracy by Xi Yu. On the surface, he said that he wanted to stabilize and prosper the country, but in fact he wanted to take this opportunity to weaken His Majesty's power. ”

"Well, you have a point. However, I still think that this system is too novel to know if it will work. ”

"Yes, this is the first time this kind of system has been implemented in our country, I don't know if there will be any problems."

In this way, the people talked and expressed their opinions. They were full of both anticipation and apprehension about this novel system.

They don't know if the system will benefit them, or if it will make the country more prosperous.

In the inn, Sun Jianlong felt extremely heavy, because he knew that if he couldn't think of a way, he would be deported in a few days. He was unwilling to fail like this, he wanted to fight for a chance for himself.

Just when Sun Jianlong was distressed, he suddenly remembered Xi Yu.

His heart moved, since he knew Xi Yu, why not take this opportunity to approach him? Maybe you can get some help from him.

Sun Jianlong thought to himself, he decided to visit Xi Yu to see if he could find some clues. He picked up his package, prepared some gifts, and walked towards Xi Yu's mansion.

On the way, Sun Jianlong's mood was very complicated. He didn't know if his plan would succeed or if he would be in greater danger.

All he knew was that he had to take the risk, or he wouldn't have any chance.

When he came to Xi Yu's mansion, Sun Jianlong saw two soldiers standing guard at the door. He walked up and said, "I'm here to visit the prime minister." ”

The soldier looked at him and said, "Do you have an appointment?" ”

Sun Jianlong said: "No, but I know him, my name is Sun Jianlong." ”

The soldier listened and said, "Then you wait a minute, I'll go and report it." ”

After a while, the soldier came back and said, "Your Excellency, I agree with you." Come with me. ”

Sun Jianlong followed the soldiers and walked into the mansion. He saw Xi Yu, dressed in an ornate robe, sitting at a desk reading a document.

Xi Yu glanced up at him and said, "It's you?" ”

Sun Jianlong said: "My lord, it's really offended. On the castle tower that day, I saw the adult, but I didn't expect the adult to be the prime minister. I have come to visit you today to express my respect. ”

Xi Yu warmly received Sun Jianlong and said, "Haha, Brother Sun, long time no see!" Please take a seat, please take a seat. Come and watch the tea. ”

Sun Jianlong said: "Lord Xi, it's really offended. I didn't even recognize you that day. I'm ashamed. ”

Xi Yu said: "Brother Sun, you don't have to blame yourself. I was also acting for convenience that day, so I didn't tell you who I really was. I hope Brother Sun doesn't mind. ”

Sun Jianlong said: "My lord, you are laughing. How could I mind? The adult is the prime minister, and he has every opportunity, so he naturally has to be cautious. ”

Xi Yu said: "Haha, Brother Sun, you are really a sensible person." Come, drink tea, drink tea. This is the Longjing tea I just shipped from Jiangnan, how about you taste it? ”

Sun Jianlong took a sip and said, "Thank you, Lord Xi." Well, this tea has a fragrant aroma, a clear soup color, and a mellow taste. It's really good tea. ”

Xi Yu said: "Haha, Brother Sun, you are really a person who understands tea." ”

At this moment, Wan'er came. When she saw that there were guests, she didn't go in, but stood at the door for a while, then turned and left.

When Sun Jianlong saw Wan'er, his heart moved.

After a while, Sun Jianlong also left. He knew that he couldn't be impulsive in Xiyu's mansion. He had to wait for a suitable opportunity before he could do it.

He walked out of Xi Yu's mansion and glanced back. It is a magnificent building, there are two stone lions in front of the door, and a plaque is hung on the door, on which are written "Prime Minister's Mansion" three golden characters.

He secretly swore in his heart that he must make Xi Yu pay the price.

On this day, Liu Xie got up and walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window.

In the distance is a green hill, and near is a lake with crystal clear water and rippling blue waves. By the lake is a tree-lined garden with a vibrant and fragrant flower. When Liu Xie saw all this, he was full of emotion in his heart. He remembered the ups and downs since he ascended the throne, and remembered the efforts he had made to achieve peace in the world.

At this moment, a soldier came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the prime minister asks to see you." ”

Liu Xie said: "Oh? Invite him in. ”

The soldier went out for a while, and then came in with Xi Yu.

Xi Yu was wearing a gorgeous official uniform, a black official hat, a jade belt around his waist, and black boots, looking majestic and solemn.

His eyes revealed a kind of confidence and calmness, as if he was waiting for Liu Xie's praise.

When Xi Yu saw Liu Xie, he immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty, what is the matter with your ministers?" ”

Liu Xie said: "Xi Yu, you are here." I have an important thing to tell you. ”

Xi Yu said: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Liu Xie said: "I have issued an edict to pass the constitutional monarchy through the whole country. ”

Xi Yu said: "Your Majesty, you are really wise. ”

Liu Xie said: "Haha, you don't have to slap my ass." I'll leave this to you. You must convey the edict to the officials and the people everywhere as soon as possible, so that they will know about my decision. ”

Xi Yu said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely do his best." ”

Liu Xie said: "Okay, then you can do it." ”

Xi Yu said: "Your Majesty Xie." ”

Liu Xie told Xi Yu that he would send someone to the Chang'an Palace to deliver the news, and let the people there dissolve by themselves.

Xi Yu turned to leave, his face full of confidence and joy. He knew that his dream was about to come true.

Liu Xie looked at the back of Xi Yu leaving, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

As night fell, Wan'er lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

Her mind drifted away and she entered a wonderful dream.

In the dream, she saw a beautiful garden full of all kinds of flowers. She walked into the garden and saw an old man sitting on a stone bench.

The old man was dressed in a white robe, and his hair and beard were gray. There was a kind of wisdom and kindness in his eyes, which made Wan'er feel very warm.

When the old man saw Wan'er, he smiled and said, "Wan'er, you're here." ”

Wan'er said, "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”

The old man said, "Wan'er, I'm here to tell you something. Do you know? That day, Xi Yu and Dongfanghong acted and said that he was on Dongfanghong's body, which made you very angry. So, don't marry Xi Yu. ”

When Wan'er heard this, her heart was shocked. She said, "Grandpa, how do you know these things?" ”

The old man said, "Wan'er, I am your grandfather, of course I know your thoughts. You don't want to marry Xi Yu, he's not a good person. ”

Wan'er said, "Grandpa, don't say it. I love Xi Yu and I believe in him. ”

The old man said, "Wan'er, don't believe him. He's taking advantage of you, and he doesn't love you. ”

After a while, Wan'er woke up.

Wan'er sat alone in front of the window, staring at the bright moon in the night sky, her eyes revealing a trace of sadness.

The moonlight shone on her face, reflecting the tears in the corners of her eyes. Her heart was full of contradictions and confusion.

She didn't know whether to believe her grandfather's words, and she didn't know whether she should continue to love Xi Yu.

Although she knew it was a dream, why was it so real?

The next day, Wan'er was still thinking about it, and she felt listless.

Cao Pi was locked up in a humble tent, his face filled with anger and despair. His eyes looked through the cracks in the tent to the outside world.

He saw a group of soldiers talking about something, their faces filled with excitement and joy.

Cao Pi heard their conversation and learned that Xi Yu had become the prime minister.

His heart was shocked, and he remembered Xi Yu, the person who used to fight for the world with him. He didn't expect that Xi Yu would be able to become the prime minister so smoothly and grasp the power of the world.

Cao Pi's heart was full of jealousy and unwillingness. He remembered his former glory and glory.

He was once the son of Cao Cao and the overlord of the world.

He didn't expect that he would fall into such a situation, being imprisoned here, deprived of his freedom and dignity.

He hated Xi Yu, hated him for taking away his world, hated him for letting him lose everything.

Just when Cao Pi was full of thoughts, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He looked up and saw Liu Xie, surrounded by a group of soldiers, into his tent.

Cao Pi was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Liu Xie to come to visit him.

I couldn't help but feel a strong hatred in my heart.

But he still had to kneel down and salute.

Liu Xie walked into the camp tent and saw Cao Pi couldn't help but feel a surge of pleasure in his heart.

He sneered: "Cao Pi, I didn't expect you to have today, you really deserve it!" ”

The anger in Cao Pi's heart was even stronger.

Liu Xie said again: "Cao Pi, you deserve it. How many innocent people did you kill by unscrupulous means in order to compete for the world? You're in this situation right now, and it's entirely your own doing. ”

Cao Pi just listened silently, he didn't dare to make any resistance.

Although he had already scolded Liu Xie in his heart.

Liu Xie felt very happy, and after scolding, he took the lead in leaving under the leadership of several soldiers.

Soon, Xi Yu also knew about it.

He didn't expect Liu Xie to insult Cao Pi.
