Can I get to the other side?
Chapter 424: Capital Relocation Ceremony! Heaven, Earth, Ghosts and Gods all listen!
Granddaughters are not as good as grandchildren after all, and the status of princes and princesses is also very different, so Yan hopes that Lu Lingqi can give birth to a son.
Of course, there is another reason. Lu Bu has never had a child. Even if he enjoys great honors now, he can't inherit it. The family lacks a pillar.
It's good to have a grandson to help support the Lu family.
Lu Lingqi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not easy to get pregnant with a dragon heir. Even if my mother urges me, I can't do anything."
Yan was about to speak when she heard a baby crying from the side, and Lu Bu's panicked voice: "Oh, why are you crying?"
"Grandpa didn't mean to scare you, don't cry, don't cry..."
Yan frowned, got up and went to teach Lu Bu a lesson.
...
In the Qingli Palace, Liu Xie was personally holding a jade bowl to feed Zhen Mi medicine.
Since Zhang Zhongjing entered the palace to treat Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi's lung disease has improved significantly, and the number of coughs has become much less than before.
"Hmm..."
Zhen Mi took a sip of the medicine, and her brows instantly wrinkled into a ball. Before she could take the second sip, she couldn't help but turn her head away and retched.
Liu Xie was no longer surprised by this situation.
Although the prescription prescribed by Zhang Zhongjing was good, it was extremely bitter. He almost vomited it directly after tasting it before, and even adding a lot of honey to it was of little use.
In addition, Zhen Mi was now pregnant with a dragon heir and had frequent morning sickness, so every time she took the medicine, it was a torment for her.
After gently patting Zhen Mi's back and waiting for her to get better, Liu Xie handed her a handkerchief and asked with concern: "My beloved, do you want to add a little honey to the medicine?"
"No need, Your Majesty."
Zhen Mi's face was slightly pale, but she shook her head and said: "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Mr. Zhang said that honey is cold in nature, and eating too much is not good for my condition."
"Let me... take it easy."
Liu Xie had to put down the jade bowl, took a handkerchief from the maid next to him, and gently wiped the corners of Zhen Mi's mouth.
Zhen Mi couldn't help but be moved by his careful and thoughtful appearance.
As the emperor, Liu Xie had a lot of things to deal with every day, but he would still come to visit her without fail, and even took charge of such trivial matters as feeding medicine.
How could she not be moved by such meticulous care?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty should still focus on state affairs. My condition has improved a lot, and there is no need for Your Majesty to worry about me so much."
Of course, she hoped that Liu Xie could always be with her, but she knew that state affairs were much more important than love, and she couldn't delay Liu Xie because of herself, and let him be branded as being obsessed with the beauties in the harem.
"Why, can't I take care of state affairs and my beloved concubine at the same time?"
Liu Xie laughed and teased Zhen Mi, and at the same time said calmly and pretentiously: "My beloved concubine still underestimates me too much. With my ability, handling government affairs is simply a piece of cake, and it won't be delayed at all."
Hearing this, Zhen Mi rolled her eyes at him and said: "Your Majesty is just talking big. Your Majesty has clearly left all the government affairs to Sima Changshi and Zhuge Shangshu to handle, so Your Majesty is so free."
Being exposed on the spot by Zhen Mi, Liu Xie's expression suddenly froze.
However, as the emperor, he still had to save face, and he said forcefully: "I am training the ability of my ministers and giving them the opportunity to perform."
"If my beloved concubine does not believe me, you can go to the Xuanshi Hall and ask all the ministers to see if any of them are unwilling to work overtime. This is their blessing, do you understand blessing?"
Seeing Liu Xie's blushing face, Zhen Mi covered her mouth and smiled.
In fact, she just said it.
Although Liu Xie asked the ministers to assist in handling government affairs, he still had to personally inquire about many decisions, and occasionally he would be busy until late, but he said that it was not as hard as before.
"Your Majesty, how is Zhen now?"
After teasing, Zhen Mi couldn't help asking about Zhen's current situation. She hadn't paid attention to it since the last time.
So she didn't know how Liu Xie dealt with Zhen in the future.
Liu Xie put the jade bowl aside and said, "Your brother took the initiative to confess his crime, and the main culprits of the case of burning the imperial envoy also committed suicide. I did not continue to pursue the case for Zhen's past merits."
"I have sent all the Zhen family members back to their original places, but confiscated most of the Zhen family's property, but I still use Zhen family members to manage these properties."
Liu Xie did not hide anything and told Zhen Mi how he would deal with Zhen.
According to the law, the whole family should be executed and the family should be exterminated for such a serious crime of embezzling huge amounts of property and burning the imperial envoy. However, killing the main culprit and confiscating the family property can be regarded as extremely lenient.
Of course, the main reason is that Zhen Yi is sensible, and Zhen has the merit of following the emperor.
Otherwise, this matter would never be easily resolved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy."
Knowing that Zhen was saved, Zhen Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone in her heart finally fell.
After all, Zhen was her family, so she didn't want to see the Zhen family fall into the situation of being exterminated. But losing power and wealth was the best outcome.
Liu Xie didn't continue to talk about this topic, but said: "The capital will be moved back to Chang'an soon, and I will go back then."
"But my beloved concubine, your body is not well yet, so stay in Yecheng to recuperate, and go to Chang'an after the dragon heir is born."
"This is also the advice of the two gentlemen."
Zhen Mi was sick and pregnant again.
It’s really not suitable for long journeys.
He asked Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, and both of them suggested that it would be best to let Zhen Mi stay in Yecheng for the time being to recuperate. This is the safest way.
"I, my concubine, obey your Majesty's arrangements."
Although Zhen Mi felt disappointed, she also knew that Liu Xie was doing this for her own good, so she agreed meekly.
Liu Xie stroked her cheek and said, "Don't worry, my dear, by the time you return to Chang'an, the world will be at peace."
"Come on, drink the medicine."
Zhen Mi nodded slightly, took the jade bowl from Liu Xie's hand, and drank all the soup inside.
…
As the days go by.
The day of moving the capital came soon.
Moving the capital to Chang'an was an extraordinary event. The entire court prepared for this move for half a year.
In the palace, in the bedroom.
Liu Xie was changing his dragon robe and crown under the service of Queen Guo and other maids.
At this time, Kong Rong walked into the palace, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. You can go to the southern suburbs to worship heaven."
When Liu Xie heard this, he turned around, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Kong Aiqing."
Looking at the majestic emperor in red and black dragon robes in front of him, Kong Rong couldn't help being slightly startled, and his eyes turned red when he came to his senses.
"Restore the Han Dynasty and return it to the old capital... Your Majesty, you have finally done it."
Kong Rong said with a complicated expression.
He still remembered that when he first met the emperor, the emperor was still very immature, but he already had the air of a hero, and he talked with him about his ideals and ambitions.
Now that five years have passed, the emperor has fully grown up, and the promises he made at the beginning have been fulfilled one by one. Now he is moving the capital back to Chang'an, the former imperial capital of the Han Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Kong Rong knelt down to Liu Xie and burst into tears and said: "If you can see with your own eyes the revival of my great Han Dynasty, I will die without regrets!"
Seeing Kong Rong crying, Liu Xie also sighed in his heart, stepped forward to help him up, and said seriously: "Now that the great cause has not been accomplished, how can I say that I will die."
"I promised Aiqing to live a good life. Seeing me conquering the world and creating a prosperous man, Aiqing cannot break his promise, otherwise he will commit the crime of deceiving the emperor."
"Does Kong Aiqing understand?"
There was emotion in Kong Rong's eyes. He kowtowed heavily when he heard the words and said in a trembling voice: "My minister Kong Rong, I will obey the imperial edict!"
He was glad that he had made the right choice.
If he chooses to support the false emperor in Xu County, then the Han Dynasty may really be destroyed and completely ruined!
"Get up. It's almost time. All the officials are waiting outside. Don't keep them waiting."
Liu Xie smiled, got up and walked towards the outside of the palace.
At this time, hundreds of officials were waiting in Tai'an Hall.
Everyone is dressed up today.
Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Sima Yi and other courtiers, as well as close generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, were all waiting for his arrival in Tai'an Palace.
I saw the emperor wearing a dragon robe and crown entering the hall.
Everyone present felt solemn in their hearts.
The emperor's aura and majesty became more and more profound, but the majesty displayed at this time made people feel heart palpitated and awe from the bottom of their hearts.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
"See Your Majesty——!"
Under the leadership of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the ministers saluted one after another.
Looking at the civil and military officials below, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel excited. He raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please excuse me."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
The ministers followed him neatly.
Outside the Tai'an Hall is a huge and open square. At this time, there are many square formations composed of Yulin Guards and Huben Army, arrayed neatly in the square.
The sky is clear today and the sun is shining brightly.
But despite the blazing sun overhead;
Despite being heavily armored and sweltering;
Although the sweat from their bodies had gathered into puddles at their feet, none of them fell down, and even the hand holding the weapon did not move at all!
Every soldier stood like a javelin, silent and solemn.
Like a silent and sharp knife!
As Liu Xie walked out of Tai'an Palace, the eyes of countless soldiers were focused on him!
Hot and bright!
Liu Xie led hundreds of officials to pass in front of these soldiers. The soldiers on both sides of the pass put their right fists in front of their chests and knelt down on one knee to salute.
Pay the highest respect to the emperor they serve!
Leaving the palace all the way, Liu Xie boarded the dragon chariot and headed to the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs under the escort of the Yulin Guards and Huben Army.
The news of the capital move had already spread throughout Yecheng, so there were a large number of people watching on both sides. Today, the streets in Yecheng were almost deserted.
And all the Han people had unparalleled excitement on their faces. Each of them looked at Liu Xie sitting in the king's chariot with sincere enthusiasm and respect on their faces!
Liu Xie invented the construction machine and the construction plow. In addition, he often paid private visits incognito, sympathized with the people, and introduced various policies that benefited the people. His wisdom and benevolence have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
I dare not say that in other states, but in Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou and other large northern states, Liu Xie's reputation has reached an unprecedented level!
People cheered on both sides of the street.
Liu Xie rode on the dragon chariot and kept smiling and waving to the people on both sides, which made the people even more excited.
A huge procession of honor guards slowly passed through the streets.
When approaching the Temple of Heaven for sacrifices in the southern suburbs, Zhuge Liang came with a group of officials responsible for presiding over sacrifices to greet the emperor.
"See Your Majesty——"
Zhuge Liang and many officials paid homage.
The faces of the officials present all had a look of tiredness that could not be concealed, but it was no wonder that the procedures for preparing sacrifices were extremely complicated and very laborious.
Moreover, it was still a hot day today. Basically, all the officials present had their clothes soaked with sweat and were panting even as they walked.
When Liu Xie saw this, he nodded to Zhuge Liang and other officials and said, "All of you, dear friends, have worked hard to move the capital."
After hearing Liu Xie's words, many officials present immediately cheered up and straightened their backs.
A word of encouragement from the emperor is more refreshing than a bowl of iced plum soup on a hot day!
Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said, "It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries. I also ask your Majesty to come to the altar to offer sacrifices as soon as possible."
"Um."
Liu Xie nodded slightly, and then, surrounded by countless Han people, he stepped onto the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices.
And with his first step on the Temple of Heaven.
The sound of grand ritual music followed.
The majestic and solemn rituals and music were magnificent, exuding an indescribable sense of solemnity, as if the only sound resounding in the world was music.
At this time, the Temple of Heaven was already filled with all kinds of rich sacrifices, and there was also a bronze cauldron with a burning fire.
When moving the capital to worship heaven, the emperor needs to recite prayers.
"The emperor ascends to heaven and shines on the earth below; he gathers the spirits of the earth and sends down sweet wind and rain. Everyone has his own place, and common people live in groups; each has his own place, and it is the present and the past."
"The main roads change, the yin and yang cause the news, the creation is different, and the living beings follow the order. If the will of God remains unchanged, how can the transformation be achieved in the four seasons? Human affairs are not easy, and how can the government be governed by thousands of surnames!"
"The Book of Changes does not say anything like this: "Through the changes, the people will not be tired"; "Changes will lead to smoothness, and generality will last long." "If you are virtuous, you will last a long time; if you have merit, you will be great." I also heard that if you are safe and can move, the people will use Pi Bian. "
"Therefore, in the two weeks of Ji Yi, as King Wu intended, the Yin people migrated five times and became the karma of Tang Dynasty. If people do not obey the heavens, their achievements will change. Those who love people and govern the country cannot be said to be like this! Chang'an has been my great Han Dynasty since ancient times. The capital is within the royal territory, where heaven and earth unite, where yin and yang harmonize. I will establish the Han Dynasty, and now the old capital will be restored..."
The music stopped, and Liu Xie's clear and solemn voice echoed around the world.
Every common person heard it clearly, and a sense of piety rose in their hearts involuntarily.
The people put their hands together and closed their eyes to pray.
I pray in my heart that the great man will prosper.
Reciting prayers is the most important process. As long as there is no sudden bad weather such as thunder or rain, it means that God has no objection to moving the capital, and everything will be fine for the big man in the future.
Then the ceremonial officer would offer tribute to heaven, and then Liu Xie could lead all the people to worship heaven and end the sacrifice.
Of course, this situation is basically impossible to happen. The days for worshiping the heaven are carefully selected by the officials in charge of calendar and astronomy. They dare not make fun of their nine tribes.
So until Liu Xie finished reciting the prayer, the sky was still clear.
After Liu Xie finished reciting the prayer, he threw it into the burning bronze cauldron. The prayer created a wisp of green smoke that slowly rose up into the sky along with the howling wind.
This time Liu Xie didn't play the trick of purple energy coming from the east that he did during the previous big festival, because there was no need and it was enough to do this kind of thing once in a while.
After watching the prayers burnt out, Liu Xie stood up straight. He looked up at the cauldron in front of him, then raised his hands and said in a deep voice under the spotlight:
"The emperors of all ages are above you! Protect my great Han Dynasty and prosper it for eternity!"
"The emperor, the emperor, and the empress are here to protect us! Please ensure that our country has good weather and the people are healthy!"
"The Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty told me——!"
Liu Xie bowed deeply and saluted.
Then countless people and civil and military officials knelt down and saluted under the altar!
"Your Majesty, the late emperors! Protect my great Han Dynasty and prosper it for eternity—!"
"The emperor, the emperor, and the empress are here! Keep my great man in good weather and the people in good health——!"
The mighty sound spread throughout the countryside.
The magnificent ritual music is played again!
All the ghosts and gods in heaven and earth are listening!
