Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 14 The Emperor's Self-cultivation

The manifesto issued by Yuan Shao caused a great shock throughout the world. As expected, many people believed the lies in the manifesto.

Although it was puzzling that the emperor suddenly fled to Jizhou, Yuan Shao's reputation was there after all. Even if some people had doubts, more people still chose to believe it.

For a time, many talented people and former officials of the Han Dynasty gave up their plans to go to Xu County and instead headed for Jizhou.

But not long after, another piece of news came from Xu County.

This time it was an imperial decree issued by the emperor.

The content is also very simple. To summarize, I have never been to Jizhou, and now I am very well and safe in Xu County. Yuan Shao is deceiving the people of the world, so don't believe him.

And Cao Cao was not a traitor, it was just Yuan Shao's nonsense.

After this decree came out, more people were suddenly confused.

"Is the emperor in Xu County or Jizhou?"

"How come there are two emperors..."

"Yuan Benchu ​​is a hero in the world. How could he lie? It must be Cao Cao who is making excuses!"

"Humph! Cao Cao still dares to use the title of the emperor to deceive people!"

"But don't you find it strange? If the emperor was not in Xu County, how could Cao Mengde dare to say such a thing?"

"I don't think Cao Cao is lying. The emperor had been taken to Xu County, but he suddenly came to Jizhou. It's really unbelievable."

"Perhaps the emperor was not welcomed to Xu County at all? It was just that Cao Cao wanted to use the title of emperor, but he didn't expect that the real emperor had fled to Jizhou."

"Let's wait and see."

"I still think the real emperor is in Jizhou."

……

There was a lot of discussion about this in the court and the public. Some believed Yuan Shao, while others believed Cao Cao. Each side held its own opinion.

No one can tell clearly whether the emperor is in Jizhou or Xu County.

This is inseparable from the promotion of various forces.

For other princes, whether the emperor is in Jizhou or Xu County, it is not what they want to see.

Because no matter whether it was Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, whoever of them controlled the emperor could command the world in the name of the emperor and occupy the righteous position.

Now both sides say that the emperor is with them, and it is impossible to tell the truth from the false. In this way, they have reason to refuse to obey the emperor's edict.

……

Jizhou, Yecheng, Yuanfu.

Liu Xie had no idea how big a shock his appearance had caused in the outside world. At this time, he was still staying in that small courtyard studying the daily records and learning the emperor's etiquette from Ju Su.

"Wrong, the emperor must stand upright and not look left or right!"

"Where are your hands?"

"Remember! Walk with your head held high!"

Inside the yard, Liu Xie was wearing a dark black dragon robe and a crown on his head, imitating the emperor's demeanor and way of walking.

Ju Shou was supervising from the side and giving reminders from time to time.

After Liu Xie walked back and forth several times, he finally satisfied Ju Su and was able to sit down and rest.

"I'm so exhausted..."

Liu Xie was sweating profusely and sat down on the stone bench in the yard. He felt like his throat was about to smoke. He didn't care about his manners and directly grabbed the teapot on the table and poured water into his mouth.

Imitating the emperor is not an easy task, especially the various etiquette of the emperor, which is extremely complicated and has many rules.

In the past month, he first learned the way the emperor spoke, which was relatively simple, after all, he had a good memory and could just memorize it. But then he had to imitate the emperor's words and deeds, which really made him feel worse than death.

Etiquette is the most difficult thing to learn. There is a set of rules for everything from how to stand, sit, walk, and even eat.

These rules in the palace are to be developed from a young age and become habits. How could a person from the 21st century be exposed to these when he was a child?

Now it is extremely torturous for him to be forced to change his behavior and become like the emperor.

"Why are you doing such a rude thing again? Don't you know to use a cup to drink water?"

Seeing Liu Xie drinking water directly from the teapot, Ju Su said unhappily.

After these days of contact, he completely dispelled his doubts about Liu Xie's possible birth of a prominent family, because his words and actions did not resemble that at all, he was just like a country boy.

They don't even know how to use basic etiquette.

Liu Xie put down the teapot and rolled his eyes, "How about you try wearing this dragon robe and this crown and walk around for an hour?"

"I'm sore all over right now."

This dragon robe was found by Yuan Shao, and it was very heavy. The emperor's crown on the head weighed five or six kilograms.

It would be fine if you just sit still, but standing and walking around, and having to pay attention to your posture, is really a drain on your energy.

"It's not easy to be the emperor."

Ju Shou didn't take it seriously. He took the teapot from Liu Xie and said, "Have you rested enough? Keep practicing."

"Your walk is still too stiff now. You need to be more natural and develop a habit. You should keep it up in the future whether you are in front of others or behind others."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie fell directly on the table and gave up on the spot.

"I can't do it anymore. I need to rest for a while and practice again tomorrow. Even if you kill me now, I won't move."

"you……"

Ju Su frowned, but was helpless. Liu Xie was unwilling, and he couldn't force him.

Finally, he could only compromise and said, "Then you should take a rest first. Have you finished reading the diary I gave you last time? Have you memorized everything?"

"I have finished reciting it."

Liu Xie was so tired that he didn't even want to open his eyes, and said weakly.

During this month, Ju Su sent him five or six daily records and asked him to memorize them all.

I don’t know if it’s because of the time travel, but his memory has become extremely strong, and he even has the ability to remember everything he sees.

Memorizing just a few diaries is a piece of cake.

Upon hearing this, Ju Su became even more certain that this boy was indeed no ordinary person. He could read and write, and even memorize the daily records in a short period of time.

"Then you have a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow."

Ju Su said no more and prepared to get up and leave.

No matter who this emperor is, he is now just a sword in the hands of his master.

Liu Xie raised his head and said, "Wait, when can I leave this yard? I have been here for a month."

It's really uncomfortable to be stuck in this yard every day.

At least let him walk around the Yuan Mansion.

"The Emperor's Palace is already under construction and will be completed soon. You will be sent there to live. You should stay here for the time being."

After Ju Su finished speaking, he left.
