Chapter 425 Liu Xie: Chang'an, Your Emperor Is Back!

After the grand sacrifice, the capital was officially moved to Chang'an.

At the same time, under the deliberate promotion of the court, this news spread like the wind to all the states and counties in the world.

Cao Cao had been paying attention to the court's every move, so he learned about it not long after the grand sacrifice.

"It moved back to Chang'an so quickly..."

After listening to Xun You's report, Cao Cao's face sank, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Although he knew that the court would move the capital back the moment Ma Chao lost Chang'an, he still felt irritated when he really heard the news.

Chang'an is located in the middle of the world, and fighting Jingzhou is completely condescending. His pressure will double after the court moves back to Chang'an.

At the same time, the reputation of the court will be greatly improved.

After all, Chang'an is the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty. Restoring the Han Dynasty and returning to the old capital is the goal of countless civil officials and generals since the emperor returned to the east.

Now that the emperor in Yecheng has done this, he has become more legitimate in the hearts of the people.

Xun You said: "Sikong, the most important thing now is the war against Yizhou. While the pseudo-emperor is busy moving the capital and has no time to pay attention to other things, we can take the opportunity to capture Yizhou."

"Yizhou is a land of abundance. As long as we can occupy Yizhou, our logistics will be greatly guaranteed."

Not long ago, Cao Cao formulated a strategy to attack Yizhou and develop the navy to confront the pseudo-emperor's court, and it is now being implemented.

They don't have much time left.

Cao Cao nodded, and did not express too much emotion on this news. He cast his eyes on Xun Yu and asked, "Wen Ruo, have you found out the truth about Liu Bei?"

Xun Yu was thinking about something at this time. He came back to his senses after hearing this and bowed his hands and said, "Reporting to Sikong, it has not been found out yet."

Cao Cao couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this, and said with a little displeasure, "Time is tight, and we can't continue to delay the time of sending troops. You should pay more attention to this matter."

"Yes, Sikong."

Xun Yu responded respectfully.

Seeing this, Cao Cao didn't blame him too much. After giving him two more words of advice, he looked at Xun Yu deeply and left the hall.

Watching Cao Cao go away, Xun You asked, "Why is uncle a little absent-minded today?"

He noticed that Xun Yu had been wandering in his mind just now, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, and he didn't pay attention to the things to be discussed today.

This is rare in Xun Yu, who has always been serious and old-fashioned.

A complex look flashed in Xun Yu's eyes, and he sighed softly: "I'm just thinking about what is true and what is false."

"The fake emperor in Yecheng has come to this point. If he really..."

Before Xun Yu finished speaking, Xun You's face couldn't help but change. He hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth, and then looked around in panic.

Seeing that there was no one around, he was slightly relieved.

However, he still broke out in a cold sweat and whispered to Xun Yu: "Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about? The fake emperor is a fake emperor, even if the capital is moved back to Chang'an, it is still a fake emperor!"

"Uncle, you should be careful with your words!"

If Xun Yu's words just now were spread, the impact would be too great, and even Cao Cao would not let him off easily.

Xun Yu didn't say much, and the figures of Xu You, Fu Wan, Yang Biao and others flashed in his mind involuntarily.

Now he didn't know whether the emperor on Cao Cao's side was real or fake, or whether he, Xun You, or Cao Cao were avoiding this topic intentionally or unintentionally.

But when the emperor of Yecheng moved the capital back to Chang'an, he had to face the matter head-on - he couldn't tell the real from the fake, he really couldn't tell the real from the fake.

If the emperor of Yecheng was real, then what was the point of helping Cao Cao for so long?

If the emperor of Yecheng was fake, could the fake emperor really get to this point now?

"Forget it."

Xun Yu finally shook his head, stopped thinking about this question, and turned away.

...

After helping Cao Cao capture Xiangyang City, Emperor Xian of Han returned to a life of luxury and carefreeness.

Except for not allowing him to leave the mansion at will, Cao Cao treated him well and would not prevent his ministers from visiting him.

This was much better than his previous life under the control of Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others, without having to worry every day.

"Sure enough, the one who treats me best is Sikong."

"I shouldn't have listened to the words of that traitor Dong Cheng and imitated the fake emperor to launch a mutiny. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered so much."

Emperor Xian of Han thought happily while enjoying the beautiful maid's massage of legs and shoulders and eating grapes.

Such a life is so comfortable.

Thinking of this, he raised his glass to Liu Zhang who was sitting below and smiled: "It's rare for the emperor's uncle to come to my palace as a guest. Don't be restrained, drink!"

Since Liu Cong's death, Liu Zhang has supported Cao Cao, and all his troops have been dispatched by Cao Cao.

Now his situation is not much different from that of Emperor Xian of Han. Both of them have no real power and have become a mascot.

Hearing the words of Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, when will Sikong be willing to send troops to help me take back Yizhou?"

"As the governor of Yizhou, how can I stay in Xiangyang and watch Yizhou be occupied by the traitor Liu Bei?"

"Your Majesty, please urge Sikong to send troops as soon as possible."

Although he was in Xiangyang, he still thought about his Yizhou and never gave up the idea of ​​taking back Yizhou.

Emperor Xian of Han waved his hand and said, "Today we will only drink, not discuss military affairs and politics. Besides, I believe that Sikong will make his own decision, so the emperor uncle should not worry too much."

He didn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing at all.

Besides, even if he wanted to help Liu Zhang, he didn't have the corresponding ability, and he had no power at all now.

It was a great fortune to be able to maintain the current status and treatment of the emperor.

Liu Zhang was speechless, but after seeing Emperor Xian of Han being so greedy for pleasure and not making progress, he couldn't help feeling anxious.

"How can your majesty be so indulgent? Now that the fake emperor has moved the capital back to Chang'an, if it goes on like this, the world will really be stolen by the fake emperor!"

"Your majesty, don't you feel anxious?"

Liu Zhang couldn't help but say that he didn't believe that the emperor in front of him was real, but now he had boarded the pirate ship and there was no turning back.

"What?"

Hearing this, Emperor Xian of Han was shocked, and even the wine in the jar spilled out. He looked at Liu Zhang in astonishment and asked, "Did the fake emperor... move the capital back to Chang'an?"

"That's right!"

Liu Zhang nodded heavily, and then said, "Not long ago, the fake emperor defeated Ma Chao and took back Chang'an."

"Then he held a grand ceremony in Yecheng to officially announce that the capital would be moved back to Chang'an. Now this news has spread all over the world!"

After listening to Liu Zhang's words, Emperor Xian of Han sat there blankly with his wine glass, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

So... has the fake emperor already gone to this point?

Emperor Xian of Han silently raised the jar and drank the wine.

At this moment, his mood was complicated and difficult to understand.

Restore the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital.

This is something he could never do in his life.

But the fake emperor did it.

He had always thought that the fake emperor was a fake, but now it seems that the other party is more like the emperor than him, the orthodox emperor.

Because the other party did what he couldn't do.

Maybe the fake emperor can really revive the Han Dynasty?

Then what is he...?

The fake emperor had done a lot of great things when he was enjoying himself, but he was still a puppet of Cao Cao, kept in captivity and under house arrest.

Like a canary in a cage.

For some reason, the wine, food, dancers and singers in front of Emperor Xian of Han suddenly lost their appeal and became extremely boring.

"I am tired. Today's banquet ends here. Please go back, uncle."

Emperor Xian of Han stood up and said, dragging his fat body, staggering towards the direction of the bedroom, his back was particularly desolate and lonely.

Liu Zhang stared at the figure of Emperor Xian of Han leaving, and was extremely puzzled.

"Does this fake emperor really think of himself as an emperor?"

He just said it casually, but Emperor Xian of Han seemed to be greatly stimulated and showed such an expression.

It was like a real emperor who was held hostage, watching the fake emperor flourishing outside, and then began to complain about himself.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar published this novel for the first time.

The acting is pretty good.

Liu Zhang shook his head, withdrew his gaze from Emperor Xian of Han, drank the wine in the jar and left.

…

After a month-long migration and trekking.

Liu Xie successfully arrived in Chang'an, the founding capital of the Han Dynasty, from Yecheng with his army and the court.

Zhang He had already heard the news, and he and Pang De led the army out of the city to welcome them.

"Welcome Your Majesty back to the imperial capital!"

Zhang He and Pang De came to the dragon chariot and stopped and dismounted, then knelt on one knee and paid homage.

The army behind them also knelt down and said in unison: "Welcome Your Majesty back to the imperial capital--!"

The armor collided, making a clanging sound.

The neat voice spread all over the field.

In the dragon chariot.

Liu Xie smiled faintly and said, "My two beloved ministers, please stand up. You have been guarding Chang'an for some time to prepare for the relocation of the capital. You have worked hard."

"It is not hard to serve your majesty!"

Zhang He replied solemnly.

Liu Xie cast his eyes on him and said jokingly, "If it is not hard to slaughter the Qiang people's royal court, then what is hard?"

"It seems that the ambition of the Marquis of Champion is greater than I thought, and he wants to make greater achievements, right?"

Zhang He blushed when he heard this, and bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my slaughter of the Qiang people's royal court is really not worth mentioning, and it is not worth mentioning at all. It can't be compared with General Huo."

"I am really unworthy of the title of Marquis of Champion. Please take back your order."

"With Lord Wen and General Zilong here, how dare I call myself 'Champion'."

When he learned that the emperor had conferred him the title of Marquis of Champion, he was stunned, because this title represented the supreme honor in the Han Dynasty.

It is one of the highest honors for military commanders!

Champion, the bravest among the three armies!

What kind of title is this?

He felt that his contribution in slaughtering the Qiang people's royal court could not be compared with Huo Qubing's surprise attack on the Xiongnu. Moreover, he was not as good as Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and others in terms of military strength, so the title of Champion Marquis made him blush.

Hearing Zhang He's words, Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, his face full of praise.

Zhang He was still very sensible.

Liu Xie smiled and said, "I give you the title of Champion Marquis, not only because you slaughtered the Qiang people's royal court, but also because you rescued thousands of people, and seized a large number of spoils for me, which solved the urgent problem."

"You are a meritorious minister who has followed me for a long time. What's wrong with receiving this title? If you don't even have this courage, I will underestimate you."

The main reason for giving Zhang He a heavy reward is his qualifications.

As the earliest military commander to serve, the existence of the Han Dynasty's worker number 001, and with actual merits, it is not excessive to give him a higher title.

You can't be partial to one and give the other the title of Duke to Lü Bu, the latecomer, but be reluctant to give Zhang He the title of Champion Marquis.

Zhang He couldn't help but feel infinite gratitude when he heard this, and said with red eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Hearing the emperor's words, he didn't understand that this was the emperor's attention to him and compensation for his merits in following the emperor.

He would have no regrets in his life if he could serve the emperor!

"Get up."

Liu Xie raised his hand and looked at the dormant and magnificent Chang'an City like a giant beast, with a bright light in his eyes.

"Chang'an, your emperor... is back!"

"Enter the city!"

The dragon chariot started, and under the protection of civil and military officials and countless soldiers, it slowly went to Chang'an City!

The news that the emperor arrived in Chang'an today had spread throughout the city, and countless Chang'an people came to line the streets to welcome him.

When they saw the emperor's dragon chariot, the civil and military officials, and the many mighty soldiers, many people were so excited that they burst into tears!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is finally back!"

"Such a spirit, this is the king's army!"

"Your Majesty is back! We can finally live a stable life."

"The generals in the lead look so mighty."

"I recognize the one in the white robe! He is Zhao Zilong!"

"And the one riding a red horse, isn't that Wen Gong Lu Bu?"

"There are really many fierce generals!"

...

The people on both sides talked a lot, and kept bowing to the dragon chariot to welcome the emperor back to Chang'an!

After accepting the people's worship, Liu Xie led the civil and military officials all the way to the palace.

The palace in Chang'an City was well preserved.

It was not burned down like Luoyang.

In addition, Zhang He and Pang De had been renovating the palace at all costs, making the palace look brand new and magnificent.

After entering the palace, Liu Xie got off the dragon chariot and started walking.

It was his first time here.

Everything was unfamiliar.

Fortunately, Emperor Xian of Han had been away from Chang'an for a long time, so it was normal that he didn't recognize everything in the palace, so he was not afraid of being exposed.

But Zhang He had already figured out the layout of the palaces in the palace. While leading the way, he introduced the names and uses of the palaces to Liu Xie.

Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Jiaofang Palace, Changding Palace, Changqiu Palace, Yongshou Palace...

The palace in Chang'an was more magnificent than that in Luoyang, and it was three times larger than the palace in Yecheng. It was luxurious.

Liu Xie walked through one by one, familiar with everything here.

He understood that from now on, this would be the new power center of the Han Dynasty, and he would dominate Chang'an and swallow the world!
