The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 93 I'm Actually the Emperor
The old man saw that Liu Bian was very heroic and treated others with a polite appearance, so he completely opened up his chatterbox and started chatting with Liu Bian.

Seeing that the old man was quite knowledgeable, he could tell at a glance that he was not a farmer, so Liu Bian smiled slightly and said, "What is the old man's name?"

Hearing this, the old man waved his hands again and again, and said, "Country people, what is expensive or not, my surname is Zhang."

"The younger generation sees that you have good eyesight, so you must have eaten military rations?" Liu Bian asked.

The old man Zhang nodded noncommittally, and said: "My family has lived here for generations, old man, I served a lot of positions in the army when I was young, so I have seen some world experience."

As the old man Zhang said, he patted his right leg helplessly, and said: "This leg was injured when we fought against the Wuhuan people, and the root of the disease fell."

"The climate in Xuantu County is cold, and no officials are willing to come here to take office. Even if they are appointed by the imperial court as the prefect of Xuantu, they are mostly remote. No one wants to come to this place where the birds don't shit and suffer from cold and starvation."

After finishing speaking, the old man Zhang silently looked at Liu Bian's face, and said, "Seeing that you have an extraordinary bearing, you should be a high-ranking official sent by the imperial court, right?"

"I don't know where the gentleman lives now?" Old man Zhang asked curiously.

Liu Bian smiled slightly and said, "I am not a court official."

"Oh?"

Old man Zhang frowned and said, "Could it be possible that Mr. Lang is a child of an aristocratic family?"

Liu Bian still shook his head and said, "No!"

Old man Zhang was completely confused by Liu Bian's answer. He glanced sideways at the soldiers of the Han army who were in charge of guarding the surrounding area, and said, "Then who are you?"

When Liu Bian heard the words, he suddenly felt that his identity was a bit difficult to reveal, and he struggled coyly for a long time before he murmured: "I am the Son of Heaven."

"what for?"

The old man Zhang was startled when he heard the words, but he didn't react for a while.

Liu Bian smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I am the emperor."

"Ok?"

The old man Zhang was startled suddenly, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately burst out laughing.

After laughing, the old man Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, waved to the people who were reclaiming wasteland around him, and said loudly, "Hey, big guy, come and see, he said he is the emperor."

As the old man Zhang said, he clapped his hands again and burst out laughing.

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Liu Bian who was standing there in embarrassment, their eyes were filled with doubt and confusion.

Will the emperor carry a hoe to reclaim the wasteland?This is the funniest joke old man Zhang has ever heard in his life.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the three elders in the village, Qiangfu and Youjiao are already big figures in the sky.

The three elders are in charge of education, and the strong husband is in charge of the administration of a township. He also collects taxes, collects taxes, pays and arrests thieves, and maintains order.

In the eyes of the common people, the county magistrate (Ling) is even more like a heaven-like figure. As for the prefect, he is like a god.

As for the emperor, that is the son of heaven, he is supposed to be a god living above the nine heavens, how could he carry a hoe and reclaim wasteland with him?

This may sound like an exaggeration, but it is the reality.

The Han Dynasty was a very particular era. In this era, there were also very strict regulations on the roads people walked. For example, the emperor traveled on the imperial road when traveling, and those with official titles traveled on the official road. The postman took the post road. As for Li Shu and Guishou, they just had to stay at home and farm. They had no way to go.

People need guides in the village to travel. If there is no guide to leave home privately, they should be divided into spring punishment, ranging from cutting their noses, hands and feet, to hard labor.

In such a closed era, the people are like pets kept in cages, living a life that is not human at all.

Let me tell you a more cruel fact. In ancient times, most women were disabled. They had to do heavy physical labor all year round when they could not get enough food, clothing, warmth and nutrition. By middle age, most of them have suffered from lameness.

How could such a group associate the emperor with farming?
90.00% of the common people have never even seen the face of the county magistrate throughout their lives, let alone the emperor.

At the same time that old man Zhang was laughing, he heard the horseshoe in front of him, and Yu Wencheng came on horseback.

When Yuwen Chengdu approached, the old man Zhang was frightened by the power of Yuwen Chengdu, and gradually restrained his smile. Looking at the thousand-mile yellow horse that Yuwen Chengdu was riding, and at Yuwen Chengdu, who was nearly ten feet tall, old man Zhang couldn't help but take a step back , opened his mouth wide in surprise, but still did not forget to give Yu Wencheng a thumbs up, saying: "Good horse, good general."

Yu Wencheng silently glanced at the old man Zhang, immediately got off his horse, walked quickly to Liu Bian, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the scouts came to report that more than [-] troops suddenly appeared from the south, and the enemy army came from Le Lang , I think it's the Three Han Kou Bian."

Liu Bian casually threw the hoe to the soldiers beside him, and dragged Yu Wencheng into the city at a fast pace. Halfway through, Liu Bian still waved his hand to bid farewell to old man Zhang: "The military situation is urgent, juniors go first."

Old man Zhang nodded subconsciously when he heard the words, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the military situation is important."

Looking at the back of Liu Bian going away, the old man Zhang was in a daze for a long time, and muttered to himself: "Emperor? How is it possible?"

Liu Bian's identity eventually became the eternal obsession in Zhang's heart. Until a few years later, when he was dying, he was still repeating a sentence indistinctly: "How could he be the emperor? How could the emperor be the emperor?" How about carrying a hoe to work in the field?"

After returning to the city, Liu Bian took Yuwen Chengdu to the top of the city. Li Ru, Changsun Wuji and others had been waiting here for a long time. Between Le Lang and Xuan Tu, there is Fan Khan in front and Xi'an Ping in the back. How could the army of the Three Hans pass through Fan Khan and Xi'an Ping silently and reach the city of Goguryeo?"

Li Ru sighed helplessly, and said, "Gongsun Shengji is not a son of man."

Hearing this, Liu Bian squinted his eyes, and immediately exchanged glances with Changsun Wuji and the others. Seeing that everyone nodded in unison, he had no choice but to believe Li Ru's bold speculation.

Liu Bian slapped the battlements angrily, his eyes were about to burst into flames, he gritted his teeth and said, "Gongsun Shengji, I swear to kill you."

Before the big right and wrong, Gongsundu actually ignored the righteousness of the nation because of his own selfishness. This behavior really made Liu Bian very angry.

Liu Bian drew out his saber, glared angrily, and said, "Hurry up and gather your troops and horses, and fight San Han."

"promise."

After everyone saluted, they all went down to the city to prepare for the battle.

After everyone left, Li Ru, who was a counselor, stayed alone. He silently leaned into Liu Bian's ear and said softly, "I have a plan, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Liu Bian heard the words, nodded without thinking, and said: "But it's okay to say, I have absolutely no reason to blame."

"Most of the Li Shu in the city are from Sanhan. Why don't your majesty drive Li Shu to charge forward to the enemy's formation? The soldiers of Sanhan will surely throw their hands after seeing their compatriots charging forward. When Sanhan's formation is in chaos, your majesty will lead an army Partial division, horse stepping on the enemy's line, maybe you can win it in one battle."
