Chapter 16: The Palace of the Son of Heaven? No, it's a big villa!
Liu Xie didn't expect that just after he mentioned to Fu Zhu that he had been bored in the other courtyard, within a few days, the other party came over to inform him that he was going to move.
The construction of the Son of Heaven Palace has been completed, and he can finally leave this courtyard where he has stayed for more than a month and live in the real Dabieye.
Noisy streets.
Hundreds of heavily armed armor soldiers escorted a black carriage and slowly moved along a wide bluestone road large enough to accommodate several carriages in parallel.
Both sides of the street were filled with the people of Yecheng, all of whom craned their necks to look at the carriage, their faces full of curiosity.
The news of the Son of Heaven coming to Yecheng has long been no secret, but for so long, the people have never seen the Son of Heaven. Therefore, when I heard that the Son of Heaven was going to stay in another palace today, many people came to the street to see the holy face of the Son of Heaven.
"What about the Son of Heaven? Where is the Son of Heaven? Let me see. β
"Don't squeeze! Stepped on my feet! β
"I haven't seen what the emperor looks like in my life, and when I see it, I have to talk to my mother-in-law when I go back."
"Haven't you heard of the True Dragon Son and the True Dragon Son? The emperor must be the head of the dragon, and he can also turn into a dragon and a cloud! β
"I'm a mother, really? Is that still human? β
"You listen to his nonsense, where does the emperor look like this."
"Heh, I'm bragging, the emperor is not a dragon, so how can you call the true dragon emperor?"
"The emperor must have a soup cake when he eats, right?"
"I guess it's not enough, there must be a roast goose."
β¦β¦
In the carriage, Liu Xie heard these discussions outside.
I felt ridiculous and sad at the same time.
"This is the era when culture and knowledge are monopolized by the family lords, and the people are ignorant, and they are ruled by a ruler they have never even seen all their lives."
Liu Xie said to himself, it was only at this time that he truly understood the greatness of universal compulsory education in the future of Huaxia.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie lifted the curtain of the carriage a little and looked at the onlookers on both sides of the street through the gap.
Unlike what he imagined, many of these people were shabby, yellow-skinned, and short.
"Isn't this a city under Yuan Shao's rule, and the people live so hard?"
Liu Xie was quite puzzled, he originally thought that the people who could live in the city were much better than the homeless people outside in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But now it seems that it is indeed stronger than the homeless, but it is not much stronger, and many people look malnourished.
But after a brief thought, he figured it out.
In such troubled times, the city will change hands from time to time, and it is already a blessing to be alive, you must know that the first thing many armies do after capturing the city is to burn and loot, and loot grain and grass.
This is how the displaced people came, their houses were occupied, their land was robbed, and even their surviving food was looted, and they were forced to leave their homeland and go into exile.
Only a warlord like Yuan Shao, who was born in a famous family, had the support of the Yuan family behind him, and cherished his reputation, would not do that kind of thing, but he would still levy heavier taxes to support the army, and the people's lives would naturally not be much better, but they could just survive.
But that's about it.
"Sure enough, no matter what era it is, as long as there is a war, it is always the people at the bottom who suffer."
"It's really right to make the people suffer and the people suffer."
Liu Xie silently lowered the curtain of the carriage and withdrew his gaze, feeling a little complicated.
It's not that his heart is so great that he has compassion for the people when he sees them in distress; It's just that when I see the words in the history books appear in front of me, I will inevitably be touched in my heart.
It's like starving for thousands of miles and eating with a child, the blood behind these eight words is dripping, and it is impossible to understand it if you don't see it with your own eyes.
Just as Liu Xie was thinking, the carriage shook slightly and stopped.
A soldier lifted the curtain of the carriage for him and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, we have arrived." β
"Hmm."
Liu Xie retracted his thoughts when he heard this, and bowed slightly.
Then he got up and stepped out of the carriage.
As soon as he got off the carriage, a huge palace came into his eyes, this palace was many times larger than the Yuan Mansion, quite magnificent, and it could already be called a palace.
"This is the real Dabieye!"
Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and his heart was extremely excited.
Immediately afterwards, he noticed that at the entrance of the palace, Yuan Shao had already waited with a group of civil and military generals, and when he saw him, they came forward one after another
"Your Majesty, Ministerβ"
Yuan Shao led the ministers to salute Liu Xie and shouted long live.
And Liu Xie has experienced the teaching of frustration for more than a month, and he has long been familiar with how to deal with it, so he naturally will not have stage fright in the face of such a scene, and raised his hand slightly and said: "Zhongqing, let's be flat." β
"Your Majestyβ"
Yuan Shao and the others stood up one after another.
Then Yuan Shao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it is really a dereliction of duty for you to condescend to the little Yuan Mansion these days. β
"Therefore, the minister has built a palace for His Majesty as your residence, so that you can meet the ministers and handle government affairs in the future."
Liu Xie cooperated with a touched look and said, "I didn't expect Yuan Aiqing to be so thoughtful, I really have a heart." β
"Now that the palace has been prepared, the matter of summoning my old ministers of the Han family and civil and military officials to rebuild the court should be put on the agenda, so as to stabilize the national foundation of my Han Dynasty."
And when it came to this, the frustration behind Yuan Shao couldn't help but say indignantly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, that traitor Cao Cao is really hateful, obviously Your Majesty is already in Yecheng, he still claims that Your Majesty is still in Xu County, and even slanders you as fake!" β
"Now people today are deceived by that traitor, and they don't know where the Son of Heaven is, and they have scruples, so they don't come to the court."
Liu Xie was furious when he heard this: "That traitor still dares to tell such a lie in my name? Do you really want to be deceived? β
"Yuan Aiqing, I will issue an edict now, canonize you as a general, take charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and summon all the princes to crusade against the traitor Cao Cao!"
The matter of canonization, he had already passed through the anger with him before he was depressed.
Now it's time to play this scene in front of everyone.
Hearing this, the judges, Tian Feng, Guo Tu and others were all shocked.
This is a great general! A position above 10,000 people under one person!
His Majesty actually canonized this position to his own lord?
"Minister, thank Your Majesty for the reward!"
Yuan Shao's face was full of excitement, and he immediately thanked him, and then continued: "But now that traitor's power is not trivial, and it is difficult to completely destroy it with the power of his ministers alone. β
"The minister implores His Majesty to add his vassal brother Yuan Shu as a lieutenant, and join forces with the minister to fight the thief!"
Liu Xie didn't think about it, and directly agreed: "There is nothing to do, so according to Yuan Aiqing's opinion, I will draw up an edict when I go back!" β
What a general, a captain, Liu Xie doesn't care at all.
Anyway, it's just a matter of moving his mouth, and he doesn't have to pay a price, a name, if you want me, I'll give it to you.
