I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 103 If His Royal Highness does not kill, you will kill (read more)

On the day Liu He left, half of the people and officials in the city flocked to the street to see off this unique King of Changyi.

It wasn't until Che Jia completely disappeared on the official road that the crowd dispersed in a dispirited manner.

……

There were 65 people in the welcoming regiment, 300 cavalry escorts, and 90 to [-] people who followed Liu He to Chang'an.

The entire team numbered nearly 450 people.

With such a huge team, the speed will naturally not be too fast.

It took a total of nine days for the driving group to arrive at Changyi City from Chang'an.

On the return journey, even though the driving group was still traveling with the stars and the moon, the speed was still much slower.

On the ninth day after leaving Changyi City, the driving group arrived at Chenliu County in Chenliu County.

Going a few tens of miles further, you will enter the jurisdiction of Sili Xiaowei, and there is the real Gyeonggi.

Because the time was very urgent, the driving group entered Chenliu at night, stayed only one night, and set off again early the next morning.

Liu He originally thought that he came and walked lightly, so that the people would not be disturbed.

But when he set off the next day, he realized that he had underestimated Chenliu County's ability to mobilize.

In order to welcome him, the sheriff of Chenliu County and the county magistrate of Chenliu County arranged the scene very grandly.

Although during the national mourning period, it is not allowed to wear red and hanging colors, but the streets are full of kneeling people.

Liu He was not very happy watching this lively scene.

Although the busy farming season has passed, how could the common people have too much free time?
Kneeling on the street to greet him, I'm afraid it wasn't out of intention, it was more forced by the government.

After starting from Changyi City, you can often see such grand scenes along the road.

Take the roads traveled as an example, all the roads have been leveled in advance, even sprinkled with the cleanest yellow sand.

For the first time, Liu He realized the true meaning of wasting people and money.

Although this shows the local officials' respect for him, Liu He still couldn't bear to think that he had disturbed millions of people along the way.

This is not just out of benevolence, more importantly, this kind of face project is a great waste of labor.

With such time and energy, it would be better to repair the river embankments in the territory and level the country roads.

I just went to Chang'an to ascend the throne, patrolling the world like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and I don't know how much people's fat and anointment will be wasted.

The Chinese nation has many shortcomings, but the face project has existed since ancient times.

Along the way, although Liu He didn't stay in each county for a long time, local officials would come to see him.

But Liu He put himself in a good position. Every time he met with these magistrates, Liu He would keep these envoys, Le Cheng, behind.

In this way, he expresses his magnanimity.

Invariably, Liu He's main focus now is a child who has no intentions.

To put it more directly, it is the appearance of a young emperor without any political ambitions.

At first, Liu He was very interested in meeting local officials, because he could meet many officials that had not been recorded in history books.

Maybe, when will you be able to discover some buried talents and use them for yourself.

But not long after, Liu He became a little numb, because there were too many people to meet.

How can it be possible to really remember the other party by saying a few words of exhortation, let alone make the other party loyal to oneself.

As for the escort, Liu He kept a respectful and distant attitude along the way.

Whether it was Le Cheng and Li Han of the Huo Party, Liu De of the Clan Party, or Bing Ji of the Abandoned Princeling Party, Liu He never met them alone.

Just like what Wang Shi said before leaving, as the Son of Heaven, one should be neither humble nor overbearing, and impartial.

Preferring to either side may make the other party dissatisfied.

Liu He does not have any strength, showing a clear tendency is a dangerous thing.

It's not a show of favor, but a combination of grace and power.

Plus a little bit of confusion.

As for the subordinate officials of the Changyi Kingdom, An Le still regarded himself as the head of the subordinate officials, completely unaware that he had been placed on the periphery.

Unlike Lieutenant Wang Ji, who was alone, An Le actually brought a lot of subordinates, Zhang Wuji, Jian Kou and other right-hand men who were close at hand. It seemed that An Le really wanted to make a difference in Chang'an.

Liu He didn't expose it, these officials also have their own abilities, maybe someday they can take it for themselves.

What's more, having a person like An Le busy along the way can save a lot of trouble.

For example, if you can't say something directly, you can ask An Le to say it; for example, if you don't want to meet officials, you can ask An Le to meet them.

In the words of later generations, this Anle is Liu He's white gloves.

Someday it will become a black glove, just throw it away, and it won't be a pity.

……

At this time, Liu He was sitting in a four-wheeled car. There were seven such cars in the welcoming group—these are the so-called seven-pass rides.

Except for the car that Liu He was sitting in, the other six cars were all empty.

It seems that there is indeed some waste, but this kind of ostentation is what we want.

These few chariots are not as gorgeous as the Anche in Changyi Palace, but they can already be called beautiful.

What's more, compared with Anche, the car is lighter, so it is more suitable for long-distance treks.

The only thing that made Liu He feel a little uneasy was that, like Anche, the carriage was semi-open, and there wasn't much to obstruct it except for the umbrella cover.

There is always a sense of insecurity.

However, nothing happened along the way, and the assassin did not appear again.

Including Liu He in the car, there are three people in total, the same lineup as Liu He went to Changyi Prime Minister's Mansion to avenge his grievances that day.

Xue Yu is in the middle and assumes the responsibility of driving the chariot. The one on his right is Yu Wuyou, and the one on his left is naturally Liu He himself.

Yu Wuyou held a sword and looked ahead solemnly.

At this moment, he doesn't look like a Confucian scholar, but really looks like a martial artist.

"Worriless, why does the widow look familiar to the sword in your hand?"

"This sword was given to me by Wang Fu before he left, and I asked my subordinates to use this sword to guard His Highness."

Liu He let out a long sigh, and said, "Wang Fu is bothering you."

After Liu He said this, he remembered what Wang Shi said when he was parting, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

To this day, he still has not made up his mind to kill Liu Bingji.

He decided to go to Chang'an, first to see what kind of person Liu Bingji was at this time, and then make a decision.

And Yu Wuyou was also a little silent, he only said half of what he said just now, and hid the other half.

When Wang Shi handed him the sword, he not only asked him to protect King Changyi, but also gave him a mission to kill.

"Yu Wuyou, Your Highness has a serious heart and is not ruthless. I'm afraid he won't be able to kill that Liu Bingji."

"But as long as Liu Bingji is alive, His Highness's emperor will not be safe."

"As the Son of Heaven, Lang Guan, if the Son of Heaven has something to do, Lang Guan will do his best. If His Highness can't do anything, then no matter what, you must find a way to kill Liu Bingji."

"It is inhumane to kill innocent people. Rather than making His Highness inhumane, it is better to make you and I inhumane."

……

Of course Yu Wuyou had no reason to refuse, but that didn't mean he would be very happy.

Because each had their own concerns, the atmosphere in the car was unavoidably a little depressing.

Hurry up to Chang'an, when you arrive in Chang'an, many things will settle down.
