I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 94
In just a few days, the news of the emperor's trip spread rapidly in Changyi.

Soon, the huge Changyi City was completely destroyed like Chang'an City.

In the white sky, Changyi City looked a bit lifeless everywhere.

Even the busiest Beicheng City on weekdays has become deserted.

There are many more patrolling guards on the street out of thin air. Once they see those behaviors that are not suitable for funerals, they will immediately take the parties to the county jail.

In fact, these people who were captured did not intend to disobey, and in many cases it was just a moment of negligence.

It's really "the emperor is doing well, and the people are suffering."

……

In the past few days, Liu He still acted very low-key, but the news that "the king of Changyi is about to ascend the throne" spread like wildfire.

It has become the most discussed matter among Chinese people in private.

At first, people couldn't figure out why this rebellious Changyi king was chosen as the emperor.

However, those people who had dealt with King Changyi stood up and fought back against those who questioned.

"Changyi Wang He is extremely benevolent, why can't he be emperor?"

"The king of Changyi treats me like a hometown, a saint who meets once in a thousand years, others can do it, why can't the king of Changyi do it?"

Under the maintenance of these common people, the voice of doubt finally subsided.

That's right, the King of Changyi in the past two years is not insane.

It is not necessarily a bad thing that the Son of Heaven leaves from Changyi.

Then another rumor began to circulate.

"The old man once went to Changyi Palace to dig a well for His Royal Highness, and saw a little red dragon flying out of the well and flying towards Chang'an."

"Someone was on the roof of the Changyi Palace and saw a unicorn stepping on the palace, and finally flew westward through the clouds."

"19 years ago, on the day Changyi King was born, a certain person happened to be driving past the gate of the palace, and a white rainbow flew into the palace."

……

These rumors about auspiciousness have intensified, and countless versions have been discovered.

From the common dragon to the unicorn, to the big tortoise and gazelle... Changyi seems to have become a fantasy world overnight.

But all this is the speculation of the people who are far away from the court.

How did they know that King Changyi's success as the emperor has nothing to do with those mysterious animals, but only a few words from General Huo Guang.

I don't know if these people will find it boring or wonderful when they know the truth.

……

On the night of April 26th, on the official road thirty miles away from the west gate of Changyi City, the escorting group from Chang'an finally appeared.

There are 65 people in total including principal and deputy envoys and retinue chariots of the entire escorting regiment, and there are also [-] full-time guard cavalry.

For eight or nine days in a row, half of the driving group's daily time was spent on the road.

By this moment, it was exhausted.

Li Han is Zuo Zhonglang General, who is nominally in charge of Lang Wei on the north side of Weiyang Palace.

Since Lang Wei is not good at long-distance raids, the [-] cavalry under his command this time are Habayashiro who was temporarily dispatched.

Habayashiro is the elite of Chang'an, so he can still maintain his proper military appearance at this moment.

Although their dark iron armor was covered with a thick layer of dust, they still looked solemn and murderous.

As for the officials and followers in the welcome group who are responsible for various practical affairs, they are not so respectable.

All of them were disgraced, like prisoners who had lost a battle.

The three hundred Yulin Langs were divided into two halves, and they walked at the head and tail of the team, so that the embarrassing driving group could still maintain a face.

Otherwise, it really is not much different from refugees fleeing for refuge.

However, after suffering a lot, no one was left behind.

Didn't he come to Changyi all the way from Chang'an just to show his face in front of the new king? How could he fall behind?

Even if he died, he had to die at the gate of Changyi Palace, so that His Highness could at least remember his family's name and gain some shade for future generations.

……

If it is at this hour on weekdays, the driving group will already camp and rest.

But today, although the team stopped, they didn't intend to set up camp.

Not one of the three hundred feathered forest men dismounted from their horses. All of them held torches in one hand and pressed their swords in the other, looking vigilantly at the dark field around them, as if they were waiting for ferocious beasts and enemies that might rush out from the darkness at any time.

The light from the torch shone on them, adding a chill and majesty.

The reason for the temporary stop of the team is also simple, because the driving group is facing a small disagreement at this time.

At this time, the escorting group was still [-] miles away from Changyi City. Whether they stopped to camp or continued on their way, it was a bit embarrassing.

"It's Xuzheng now. If I continue on my way and enter Changyi City, it will be Zishi at the earliest. By then, I'm afraid there will be riots in the city. It's better to camp here first and start tomorrow." Liu De said that he was the oldest among the group of people, and his health was obviously too much for him to travel all the way.

"When we set off from Chang'an, the general told us to deliver the summoning book to the king of Changyi as quickly as possible. Along the way, I waited for the wind, slept in the open, and wore stars and moons, just to welcome the king of Changyi to Chang'an as soon as possible. Is it? Now that the city of Changyi is right in front of us, there is no reason to stand still."

Liu De is a few years younger than Huo Guang, and Le Cheng is a few years younger than Liu De.

From the point of view of qualifications, Liu De has to be a steady leader over Le Cheng, but Le Cheng is the official envoy of the escorting team, so the relationship between the two is a bit delicate.

Along the way, the two got along well: Le Cheng only wanted to fulfill the general's entrustment as soon as possible, so he respected Liu De very much.

He didn't expect that the clan leader suddenly asked to postpone entering the city at this time.

A few hours are not long, but the night is long.Long nights make it easy to dream more.

Le Cheng knew that the mission of the driving group was very important and urgent, so he naturally disagreed.

What's more, when we set off from Chang'an, the general reminded himself to beware of Liu De's extrinsic problems.

So as soon as Liu Degang proposed to postpone entering the city, Le Cheng's vigilance was immediately raised.

"No matter how anxious you are, I'm afraid you won't be in a hurry at this moment. The king of Changyi must have gone to bed at this moment. Will he be more hasty when he gets up in a hurry to answer the call? If something goes wrong, His Highness will blame you. Can you afford it?"

Under the firelight, Liu De's face was somewhat blurred, and it was difficult for Le Cheng to see Liu De's expression clearly.

What Liu De said was not wrong, it was really hasty to enter the city like this, and the king of Changyi is a man of insanity, if something happens, it will be embarrassing.

But Liu De only now proposes to suspend entering the city. Is the reason really so simple?

Or are you procrastinating for some planning?

Lecheng hesitated a little, and could only look at the other two, hoping that they would stand up and support him.

"Continuous journeys day and night. At this moment, people are exhausted. If we continue to travel in the starry night, there may be accidents."

The Zhonglang general Li Han who spoke was only 30 years old. He was tall and strong, with a height of seven feet. Sitting on the horse, he looked like an iron tower. He wore a heavy armor all the way and never took it off.

"What does Mr. Bing mean?"

"Issuing the imperial edict is a major matter of the country. At this moment, the whole escorting group is in a bit of a panic. People are exhausted and horses are exhausted, and the chariots and battles are not organized. It may be inappropriate to pass the imperial edict into the city like this."

Lecheng didn't expect that Lihan and Bingji didn't agree to go to the city immediately.
