Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 482 Paying tribute to the successive emperors of the Han Dynasty: I, Liu Xie, deserve this position!
After receiving the news reported by Gao Lan, Liu Xie hurriedly left the Yutang Palace and headed towards the Taimiao without even having time to put on his clothes.

The eunuchs and palace maids along the way all knelt down and saluted when they saw the emperor.

Gao Lan followed Liu Xie closely.

He was holding a pair of boots in his hands.

Liu Xie put on his clothes while walking, and without turning his head, he ordered: "Jingzhi, remember this."

"If we win the battle against the enemy in the south, Chang'an and Luoyang will all celebrate! Elders over 60 and soldiers who retire due to injuries will be rewarded with half a pound of meat, a pound of wine, and a piece of cloth!"

"For those officials who have retired and are in Chang'an, have them all come to the East Palace to celebrate tomorrow! For those who are not in Chang'an, the local government offices will organize a banquet to celebrate!"

Liu Xie fastened the belt of his clothes, turned around and took the boots from Gao Lan, and laughed loudly: "All the maids in the palace! Those who are 18 years old or above are allowed to get married!"

"This year's autumn finals will also be postponed to next year!"

"Also, notify all officials to come to Chengming Hall to attend court. I will first go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to pay tribute to the past emperors, and then go to accept the congratulations of all officials!"

Liu Xie laughed out loud and quickened his pace.

"promise--!"

Gao Lan clasped his fists in response, and looking at the emperor's high-spirited back in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.

The Han Dynasty was finally unified.

With a heart full of joy and excitement, Liu Xie came to the Taimiao, but compared to the nervousness he had felt in the past when he went to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors, this time he came to the Taimiao with his back held straight!

My heart is filled with confidence and pride!
"My ancestors are above me. Although my descendant Liu Xie is not a true emperor, he has lived up to this family name!"

"Now that the rebels have been defeated, the Yanhan Resurgence has been successful. From now on, even if the times change, our Yanhan will be immortal!"

"If your ancestors are still alive, they can rest in peace!"

Liu Xie looked at the rows of tablets in front of him, bowed deeply, and tears involuntarily flowed from the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, he finally put down the burden in his heart.

Ever since he pretended to be the Son of Heaven, he has always had doubts about himself deep in his heart, wondering if he can shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Han Dynasty and whether he can be a good emperor.

Therefore, every time he came to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors, he would feel uneasy, thinking that everything he had now was stolen by him and that he was just a despicable thief.

But now he can stand up straight and proudly say to his ancestors - he, Liu Xie, deserves this position!
He defeated Yuan Shao, killed Sun Quan, defeated Cao Cao, and rebuilt the Han Dynasty. What he did was worthy of being a descendant of the Liu family!
Having accomplished such great things, what does it matter if he is not the legitimate successor to the throne but only a replacement emperor?
He changed the outcome of the Han Dynasty's decline, and that's enough!
You must know that the significance of the three restorations of Yan and Han was extraordinary. From then on, even if there were powerful ministers in power, they would not dare to have the idea of ​​plagiarizing the Han Dynasty.

Even if the Han Dynasty fell into a precarious situation again hundreds of years later, as long as a descendant of the Liu family stood up and shouted: "I am a descendant of the Liu family. Now the Han Dynasty is declining and the building is about to collapse. Those who wish to save the world please stand up!"

Then countless talented and ambitious people will stand up!

This is the meaning of the Three Revivals of Yan and Han!

Only by achieving such feats could Liu Xie face the spiritual tablets of the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty with a clear conscience!
"But I want to do more than that. Unifying the Han Dynasty is just the beginning. I will bring the Han Dynasty back to its peak and even stand at the top of the world!"

"Dear ancestors, please wait and see!"

Liu Xie's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. After making a promise in his heart, he turned around and strode out of the Taimiao with firm and powerful steps.

A breeze blew by, stirring up wisps of green smoke inside the Taimiao, making the spirit tablet of Emperor Gaozu, which was located at the highest point, look even more hazy.

……

Jiaofang Hall.

Since Liu Xie returned to Chang'an, Empress Fu has never left the Pepper Palace and has returned to her previous state of seclusion.

Even when Fu Wan was killed by horse bandits later, she never made any comment, let alone went to pay tribute.

Concubine Fu wanted to visit her several times, but she refused. Her every move seemed to indicate that she didn't want to have anything to do with the Fu family anymore.

And this is indeed the case.

When faced with the conditions offered by Ma Chao, her father Fu Wan ordered her to go out of the city as a hostage, which completely chilled her heart.

She is a human being, a person with flesh and blood and emotions. Even though she knows that everything should be based on the interests of the family, she still finds it hard to accept that Fu Wan used her like an object and ruthlessly abandoned her.

Therefore, when she learned that her father Fu Wan was killed by "horse bandits", she did not even feel much grief, but felt relieved instead.

"My lady, it's time for dinner."

The palace maid walked into Empress Fu's bedroom, gently pushed the sleeping Empress Fu, and said respectfully.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s autumn and people are starting to feel tired, but Empress Fu has become more and more fond of sleeping recently, and she sleeps six or seven hours a day.

"Um……"

Empress Fu sat up from the bed and glanced out the window at the sky which was almost dark. Suddenly, a feeling of emptiness and loneliness surged over her like a tide.

She was stunned for a moment before gradually coming to her senses and asked the palace maid, "Why was there so much noise outside the palace just now?"

Not long ago, she heard bursts of laughter and noise outside the palace. Although they soon faded away, she was still woken up as she had a light sleep.

But she fell asleep again soon.

The maid said, "Your Majesty, there is a good news from Jingzhou. Lord Wen led his army to capture Changsha City and destroy Cao Cao."

"Your Majesty has issued a decree for universal celebration, and has also ordered all palace maids over the age of eighteen to leave the palace and marry. For those under eighteen, their monthly allowance will be doubled."

"Everyone is happy about it."

Except for those palace maids who were sent into the palace due to their good backgrounds, most of the palace maids were selected to enter the palace, and many of them did not enter voluntarily.

The palace is dangerous. If you are not careful, you may make mistakes or be angered by important people and lose your life.

Although the palace maids were nominally the emperor's women, in reality they might never be favored by the emperor throughout their entire lives, and they might not even see the emperor.

Therefore, many palace maids would rather leave the palace, marry and have children.

But if one wants to leave the palace, one usually has to wait until he is over 30 years old. By then, he is already too old to get married and has become old and ugly.

Now the emperor has issued a decree that anyone over the age of eighteen can leave the palace and get married. You can imagine how happy those palace maids are.

After staying in the palace for such a long time, they saved a lot of money every month. Combined with their experience in the palace, it was enough for them to leave the palace and find a good family to marry into.

"The thief Cao... was defeated?"

Empress Fu was stunned when she heard this, and said in a daze that she felt the news was too sudden.

It was so sudden that it didn't seem real.

Cao Cao is the biggest traitor at the moment and the only remaining traitor. The defeat of Cao Cao marks the end of war and the complete unification of the Han Dynasty.

Empress Fu suddenly remembered something and asked nervously, "Then...what about the fake emperor? How is the fake emperor?"

As soon as she said this, she realized that her words were full of concern, so she quickly added, "The fake emperor dared to impersonate your majesty, he deserved death, what happened to him?"

The palace maid dispelled her doubts after hearing this and said, "Reporting to the queen, the fake emperor has been captured by Lord Wen and is on his way to Chang'an."

"It is said that they will arrive in Chang'an in ten days." Upon hearing the words of the palace maid, Empress Fu's heart tightened slightly, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Of course she didn't want Emperor Xian of Han to die, but even though he didn't die, he was captured by Lu Bu, so how could he escape?
When he was taken to Chang'an, no one knew what cruel punishment would await Emperor Xian of Han. Pretending to be an emperor was an unprecedented crime.

"It's easier to die..."

Empress Fu said with a complicated look in her eyes that it would be better to die early to avoid torture and humiliation than to be captured and brought to Chang'an for trial.

"What did you say, Madam?"

The palace maid didn't hear Empress Fu's words clearly and asked curiously.

Empress Fu collected her thoughts and said, "Nothing... Where is dinner? I'm a little hungry."

The maid said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is hosting a banquet in the Yongshou Palace tonight to celebrate with all the officials. He just sent someone to inform you."

"Your Majesty, you should quickly dress up and go to the banquet. Don't keep His Majesty waiting too long."

The banquet was given to all officials, and the Queen naturally had to attend.

Empress Fu sighed, said nothing, then stood up and walked towards the dressing table.

……

Chengming Hall.

After receiving Liu Xie's order, civil and military officials rushed from their homes to the palace to congratulate the emperor.

"I, your Majesty, congratulate you on the unification of the country and the prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period!"

All the officials in the palace paid homage to Liu Xie.

The civil officials all held a jade ruyi in their hands - this was the gift they brought, representing the meaning of "everything goes well".

"Your Majesty, please excuse me."

Liu Xie smiled and raised his hand, saying, "These two sentences are well written. Unifying the country is my wish, and it is also the wish of all my ministers, soldiers and common people."

"But Chunqiu Ruyi...you all think too highly of me, but this is all the kindness of you dear ministers, so I will accept it."

"Please get up, everyone."

Upon hearing this, all the ministers stood up.

Yang Biao stepped forward first and said excitedly, "Your Majesty has worked hard for six years. During these years of fighting against the rebels, Your Majesty worked hard to govern the country, and you were unable to eat or sleep well. Only then did you unify the country and stabilize the country. This is all Your Majesty's credit!"

"I have lived through three dynasties and witnessed the Han Dynasty's decline under the treacherous rebellion, and its rise again under Your Majesty's rule."

"Your Majesty is truly the greatest sage king of all time!"

"I, on behalf of all the officials, congratulate Your Majesty!"

Yang Biao has a lot of experience, and it can be said that no one in the court can compare to him. He is qualified to say this.

Liu Xie laughed and said, "Loyal Marquis, you are going too far. I can still shamelessly agree to be called a wise ruler, but how can I be called a sage ruler?"

"Although the world is unified, it will take a long time to restore the country's strength. When one day I make the Han Dynasty more prosperous than the reigns of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, it won't be too late for the Loyal Marquis to give me the title of Saint King."

Having unified the world, Liu Xie is now full of energy and ambition, and speaks more confidently than before.

He cannot be called a sage king, but he can definitely be called a wise king.

If his achievements cannot be regarded as a wise ruler, then there are few emperors throughout history who can be called wise rulers.

Yang Biao said solemnly: "Your Majesty is now in the prime of life. With your wisdom and bravery, I believe that you will be able to wait for that day in your lifetime."

Liu Xie smiled, and then said to his ministers: "Now that the world is unified, I want to change the era name and title. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

To change the era name means to change the year name.

When a new emperor ascends the throne, the reign title will be changed after a year or in the same year. The first year of each reign title is called the first year. It started when Emperor Wu ascended the throne and established Jianyuan as the reign title.

The practice of changing the reign title during the reign of an emperor also began with Emperor Wu. During his 54-year reign, he changed the reign title to more than ten titles, including Yuanfeng, Taichu, and Zhenghe.

Jian'an was the reign title established when Emperor Xian of Han ascended the throne. Liu Xie wanted to change the reign title in order to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and to create an era of his own.

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately responded to by all the ministers.

Cui Yan immediately said: "Your Majesty's achievements in civil and military affairs are not inferior to those of Emperor Guangwu. I think we can use 'Zhaowu' as the new reign title to let all the subjects in the world know your Majesty's achievements."

Fa Zheng also said: "Although Zhaowu is good, the world is peaceful now, and the barbarians are submissive. It is not appropriate to use 'Wu' as the reign title."

"I think it is more appropriate to use the word 'Kaiyuan', which is more suitable for the current situation of our Han Dynasty. It represents the beginning of a new era of prosperity."

Kong Rong thought for a long time and said, "I think it would be better to use the word 'Yongle', which means long-lasting happiness."

The three people proposed different era names.

Other ministers also joined the discussion. Some said "Yong'an", some said "Taiping", and some said "Shengwu".

When Liu Xie heard the era names they were talking about, he was unable to make a decision for a moment, so he asked Jia Xu for his opinion.

"Wenhe, what era name do you think is appropriate?"

Jia Xu had not spoken since the discussion began, nor had he put forward any opinions, so Liu Xie was a little curious.

"Your Majesty."

Jia Xu lowered his eyes slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I think now is not the time to show off your achievements."

"As Your Majesty just said, although the world is unified, the national strength is still weak. Your Majesty should put more energy into restoring the national strength."

"Rather than discussing what era name to use."

Jia Xu's words were undoubtedly a bit of a dampener. Liu Xie was stunned for a moment after hearing them. Looking at Jia Xu's calm face, the originally passionate heart slowly died down.

He thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "Wenhe is right. I was a little too ambitious and carried away by my success."

"In this case, the reign title will not be changed. Let's continue to use 'Jian'an'."

"When I make the Han Dynasty stronger than the two previous emperors Wen and Jing, it won't be too late to change the era name."

Upon hearing this, all the ministers shouted that the emperor was wise.

Liu Xie couldn't help but look at Jia Xu again. He found that Jia Xu's personality had changed a little since he recovered from his illness.

Before, he often flattered him and generally would not speak out directly unless it was a crucial matter, focusing on protecting himself. But now he dared to give him advice.

That's a good thing, though.

Liu Xie retracted his gaze and said to his ministers, "Let's go to Yongshou Hall. The banquet is about to begin."
