Chapter 14: The Self-cultivation of the Son of Heaven
Yuan Shao's letter caused a great shock throughout the world, and as expected, many people believed the lies in the text.
Although it is incomprehensible that the Son of Heaven suddenly fled to Jizhou, after all, Yuan Shao's prestige is there, even if some people doubt it, more people still choose to believe it.
For a time, many talents and former ministers of the Han Dynasty canceled their plans to go to Xu County and went to Jizhou instead.
But it didn't take long for another piece of news to come out of Xu County.
And this time it was an edict issued by the Son of Heaven.
The content is also very simple, in summary, that is, I have never been to Jizhou, and now I am very safe in Xu County, Yuan Shao is deceiving the world, don't believe it.
And Cao Cao is not a traitor, it is all Yuan Shao's nonsense.
After this edict came out, it immediately made more people feel confused.
"Is the Son of Heaven in Xu County, or in Jizhou?"
"Why did two sons of heaven appear......
"Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third dukes, is a hero in the world, how can he deceive people? It must be Cao Cao who is quibbling! ”
"Humph! Cao Cao still dares to deceive people in the name of the Son of Heaven! ”
"But don't you think it's strange? If the Son of Heaven was not in Xu County, how could Cao Mengde dare to say such a thing? ”
"I don't think Cao Cao is lying, the Son of Heaven has been welcomed to Xu County, and he suddenly arrived in Jizhou, which is really a bit unbelievable."
"Maybe the Son of Heaven was not welcomed to Xu County at all? It's just that Cao Cao escaped to Jizhou in order to pretend to be the Son of Heaven, but he didn't expect the real Son of Heaven to flee to Jizhou. ”
"Let's wait and see."
"I still think that the real Son of Heaven is in Jizhou."
……
There was a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition, some people believed in Yuan Shao, and some people believed in Cao Cao, and the two sides insisted on their own words.
No one can say whether the Son of Heaven is in Jizhou or Xu County.
And among them, the promotion of various forces is indispensable.
For the other princes, whether the Son of Heaven is in Jizhou or Xuxian, this is not what they want to see.
Because whether it is Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, whoever of them masters the Son of Heaven will be able to command the world in the name of the Son of Heaven and occupy the name of righteousness.
Now that both sides say that the Son of Heaven is with them, and it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so they have reason to refuse to obey the edict of the Son of Heaven.
……
Jizhou, Yecheng, Yuanfu.
Liu Xie didn't know how much of a shock he had caused in the outside world because of his appearance, and at this time he was still staying in that small courtyard to study the living notes, and at the same time learning the etiquette of the Son of Heaven from Fu Zhu.
"Wrong, the Son of Heaven needs to stand upright, and he can't look left and right!"
"Where do you put your hands?"
"Remember! Walk with your head held high! ”
In the courtyard, Liu Xie was wearing a black dragon robe and a crown, imitating the demeanor of the Son of Heaven and the way he walked.
And the frustration is supervising on the side, and from time to time he reminds him.
After Liu Xie walked back and forth several times, he barely reached the level of satisfaction and was able to sit down and rest.
"I'm exhausted......"
Liu Xie was sweating profusely, and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, only to feel that his throat was about to smoke, and he didn't care about his manners, so he directly grabbed the teapot on the table and poured water into his mouth.
It is really not an easy thing to imitate the emperor, especially the various etiquettes of the Son of Heaven, which are extremely complicated and have many rules.
In the past month, the first thing he learned was the way the Son of Heaven spoke, which was quite simple, after all, he had a good memory, just memorize by rote.
But then imitated the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven, which really made him worse than dead.
Etiquette is the most troublesome thing to learn, from standing, sitting, walking, and even eating, there is a set of rules.
These rules are placed in the court, they are all to be cultivated from an early age and become habits, and where did he, a person in the 21st century, come into contact with these when he was a child?
Now it is really torture for him to change his behavior and become the same as the Son of Heaven.
"Why did you make such a rude act again, don't you know how to use a cup to drink water?"
Seeing Liu Xie drinking water directly from a teapot, he said in frustration and displeasure.
After coming into contact these days, he completely dispelled the suspicion that Liu Xie might be from a famous family, because his words and deeds were not similar at all, and he was completely the same as a rural villager.
I don't even understand basic etiquette.
Hearing this, Liu Xie put down the teapot, rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you try to wear this dragon robe and walk around with this crown for an hour?" ”
"I'm sore all over now."
This dragon robe was found by Yuan Shao, it was very heavy, and the crown of the Son of Heaven on his head also weighed five or six catties.
It's fine if you sit still, but it's hard to walk around standing and taking care that you don't make mistakes.
"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."
"The Son of Heaven is not so easy to be."
Frustrated with disapproval, he reached out and took the teapot from Liu Xie's hand, and then said, "Have you rested enough?" Keep getting up and practicing. ”
"You still walk too stiffly now, be more natural, form a habit, and keep it in front of or behind people in the future."
When Liu Xie heard this, he directly lay on the table and put it on the spot.
"I can't do it anymore, I have to rest for a while, let's practice again tomorrow, even if you kill me now, I won't move."
"You ......"
Frustrated and furrowed, but helpless, Liu Xie was unwilling, and he couldn't force it.
In the end, he could only compromise and said: "Then let's rest first, have you finished reading the living note I gave you last time?" Memorized it all, right? ”
"I'm done."
Liu Xie was so tired that he didn't want to open his eyes, and he couldn't speak.
In this month, he sent a total of five or six living notes, and asked him to memorize them all.
And I don't know if it's because of the time travel, his memory has become extremely strong now, and he even has the ability to never forget.
It's easy to memorize a few living notes.
Hearing this, he was even more convinced that this kid was really not an ordinary person, he could read and hyphenate words, and he could memorize the living notes in a short time.
"Then you have a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow."
Frustrated with no more words, he prepared to get up and leave.
No matter who this Son of Heaven is, he is now just a sword in the hands of his lord.
Liu Xie raised his head and said, "Wait, when can I leave this courtyard?" I've been here for a month. ”
It's really uncomfortable to stay in this courtyard every day.
At least let him wander around this Yuan Mansion.
"The palace of the Son of Heaven is already under construction, and it will be completed soon, and you will be sent to live there at that time, so you should continue to stay here honestly during this time."
After saying that, he left straight away.
