Can I get to the other side?

Liu Xie didn't expect that just a few days after he mentioned to Ju Shou that it was boring to stay in another courtyard, the other party would come over and inform him that he was moving.

The construction of the Emperor's Villa has been completed, and he can finally leave the courtyard where he has stayed for more than a month and live in the real Dabieye.

Noisy street.

Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers escorted a black carriage, moving slowly on a wide bluestone road that could accommodate several carriages running in parallel.

People from Yecheng gathered on both sides of the street. Everyone stretched their necks to look at the carriage, their faces full of curiosity.

The news that the emperor came to Yecheng was no secret for a long time, but for such a long time, the people had never seen the emperor. So when they heard that the emperor was moving into a separate palace today, many people came to the streets to see the emperor's face.

"Where is the Emperor? Where is the Emperor? Let me see."

"Don't squeeze! You'll step on my feet!"

"I have never seen what the emperor looks like in my life. When I do, I have to tell my mother-in-law when I get back."

"Haven't you heard of the True Dragon Emperor, the True Dragon Emperor? The Emperor must have the body of a dragon, and he can also transform into a dragon soaring into the clouds and riding in the mist!"

"My dear mother, is it real or fake? Is she still a human being?"

"Listen to his nonsense, why does the emperor look like this?"

"Oh, I'm just bragging. The emperor is not a dragon, so how can he be called a real dragon emperor?"

"The emperor must have soup cakes every meal, right?"

"It's probably more than that, there's also a roast goose."

…

In the carriage, Liu Xie heard the discussions outside.

While I felt funny, I was also a little sad.

"This is an era when culture and knowledge are monopolized by aristocratic families. The people are ignorant and have been ruled by a powerful figure they have never even seen."

Liu Xie's eyes were complicated. Only then did he truly understand the greatness of universal compulsory education in China in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie opened the curtains of the carriage a little and looked through the gap at the people watching on both sides of the street.

Different from what he imagined, many of these people were shabbily dressed, with sallow complexions and thin bodies, and were relatively short in stature.

"Isn't this the city under Yuan Shao's rule? Are the people living in such a miserable condition?"

Liu Xie was quite puzzled. He originally thought that the people who could live in the city would have much better food, clothing, housing and transportation than the refugees outside.

But now it seems that they are indeed stronger than the refugees, but not much stronger. Many of them look like they are malnourished.

But after a brief thought, he figured it out.

In such troubled times, cities would change hands from time to time, and it was a blessing to be alive. You must know that the first thing many armies do after seizing a city is to burn, kill, loot, and search for food and grass.

This is how the refugees came. Their houses were occupied, their land was robbed, and even the food they survived were plundered. They were forced to leave their hometown and go into exile.

Only a warlord like Yuan Shao who came from a famous family, had the support of the Yuan family behind him, and cherished his reputation would not do that kind of thing. However, he would still levy heavier taxes to support the army. Naturally, the lives of the people would not be much better, but they could Just survive.

But that's all.

"Sure enough, no matter what era it is, whenever there is a war, it will always be the people at the bottom who suffer."

"It's true that people will suffer when they prosper and people will suffer when they die."

Liu Xie silently lowered the curtains of the carriage and withdrew his gaze, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

It’s not that he was so great that he felt compassion for these people when he saw their suffering; it’s just that when he saw the words in the history books appearing before his eyes, he would inevitably be touched in his heart.

Just like starving to death for thousands of miles and exchanging children for food, the blood behind these eight words cannot be understood unless you see it with your own eyes.

Just as Liu Xie was thinking about it, the carriage shook slightly and stopped.

A soldier opened the curtain of the carriage for him and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we are here."

"Um."

After hearing this, Liu Xie took back his thoughts and nodded slightly.

Then he stood up and walked out of the carriage.

As soon as he got off the carriage, a huge palace came into view. This palace was many times larger than the Yuan Mansion. It was quite grand and could be called a palace.

"This is a real big villa!"

Liu Xie's eyes lit up and he was very excited.

Then he noticed that at the entrance of the palace, Yuan Shao had already been waiting with a group of civil servants and generals. When they saw him, they all came forward to greet him.

"My lord, please see your majesty——"

Yuan Shao led his ministers to pay homage to Liu Xie and shouted long live.

Liu Xie, after more than a month of Jushou's teachings, was already familiar with how to deal with it. Faced with such a scene, he would naturally not be frightened. He raised his hand slightly and said: "My lords, please calm down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty——"

Yuan Shao and others stood up one after another.

Then Yuan Shao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is really a dereliction of duty for you to condescend to the little Yuan Mansion these days."

"Therefore, I have built a special palace for Your Majesty as your residence so that you can meet with ministers and handle government affairs in the future."

Liu Xie looked moved in response and said, "I didn't expect Yuan Aiqing to be so considerate. She is really thoughtful."

"Now that the palace is ready, it should be put on the agenda to summon our old Han Dynasty ministers, civil and military officials to rebuild the imperial court. Only in this way can we stabilize the foundation of our Han Dynasty."

When mentioning this matter, Ju Shou, who was behind Yuan Shao, couldn't help but said angrily: "Your Majesty, you don't know. That traitor Cao Cao is really hateful. Even though His Majesty is already in Yecheng, he still claims that Your Majesty is still in Xu County, and even slanders you." Fake!"

"Now the people of the world have been deceived by the traitor and do not know where the Emperor is. They are worried and do not come to see him."

Liu Xie was furious when he heard this: "How dare that traitor use my name to tell such lies? Do you really think I can be deceived?"

"Yuan Aiqing, I am issuing an edict now, appointing you as the general to take charge of the world's troops and summon all the princes to attack the traitor Cao Cao!"

Jushou had already had an affair with him about the canonization matter.

Now I have to perform this scene in front of everyone.

Hearing this, Shen Pei, Tian Feng, Guo Tu and others were all shocked.

This is a great general! A position below one person and above ten thousand people!

His Majesty actually granted this position to his lord?

"My lord, thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Shao's face was full of excitement, and he immediately thanked him, and then continued: "But now the traitor's power is not trivial, and it is difficult to completely eliminate it with the power of my ministers alone."

"I sincerely request your Majesty to make my younger brother Yuan Shu a Taiwei, and join hands with me to fight against the thieves!"

Liu Xie didn't even think about it, and directly agreed: "I have no choice but to follow Yuan Aiqing's opinion, and I will draw up an edict when I get back!"

Liu Xie didn't care at all whether he was a general or a lieutenant.

Anyway, it's just a matter of words, and it doesn't cost him anything. If you want a name, I'll give it to you.
