Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 449
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yin, the emissary of the Son of Heaven, is here with the edict of the Son of Heaven, and is seeking an audience outside!" Xu Chu respectfully reported to Li Song in the study room of the Tang Palace.

"Show him in!" Li Song said.

"No!" Xu Chu withdrew and called Zhang Yin in.

Zhang Yin held the Zen imperial edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in both hands, and said to Li Song, who was concentrating on reading, "I pay my respects to the King of Tang."

"No courtesy!" Li Song asked Zhang Yin not to be too polite, and when Zhang Yin got up, he said, "I don't know what the emperor ordered the envoy to come here?"

Zhang Yin sneered in his heart, pretend for me, keep pretending, let's see how long you can pretend!But he said: "The king of Tang accepts the edict." He raised the edict of Han Xiandi Liu Xie above his head, and waited for a long time without seeing Li Song's movement.

Looking at Li Song involuntarily, Li Song felt his gaze and said: "Don't stand there stupidly, what orders does the emperor have, just read it, the lonely king is listening!"

Zhang Yin sighed, opened the imperial edict and read it out: "Zier Tang Wang, I wrote the letter humbly. It has been a long time since I have stolen the Han Dao Mausoleum; fortunately, Li Song, the Tang king...in the past, Yu Shun had made great achievements twenty times, and Fang Xun Zen Take the world; Dayu has the achievements of dredging, and Chonghua Zen takes the throne. The Han Dynasty inherited Yao's fortune, which has the meaning of passing on the sage, Jiashun Lingzhi, Shao Tianming's order, envoy Zhang Yin, the official censor, and honor the emperor's seal with festivals Ribbon. The king accepts it!"

After Zhang Yin finished reading, Li Song refused again: "As a Han subject, how can the lonely king usurp the throne? This is absolutely impossible. You go back and tell the emperor that I have no second thoughts."

Zhang Yin would not believe Li Song's nonsense. If he had no second thoughts, how could he not respectfully accept the emperor's edict, but not respectful at all.

"King Tang, Your Majesty said, if you don't obey the edict, please invite King Tang to the palace to meet the emperor. If the emperor has something to say, he must speak to the king in person," Zhang Yin said.

"Okay! Tomorrow, I will personally enter the palace to face the saint!" Li Song said, Zhang Yin left and went back to report to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The next day, Tang Wang Li Song entered the palace together with Sima Yi, Yang Xiu, Li Yuanba and Xu Chu.

"You wait outside the hall, the lonely king can enter alone! Yuanba, don't run around!" Li Song ordered the four people, not forgetting to remind Li Yuanba again and again.

"No!" Sima Yi and the others responded, and Li Song stepped forward alone.

"Report to His Majesty! The lonely king is here!" Li Song said to the eunuch guarding outside the palace.

The eunuch immediately went inside to report to Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. After a while, the eunuch came out, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty invites the king of Tang to come in and speak."

Li Song nodded, and saw Emperor Xian of Han in the back hall, Emperor Xian of Han hurriedly got up to meet Li Song, Li Song cupped his hands and said, "My lord, my majesty!"

Liu Xie supported Li Song and said, "Prince Tang, I issued an imperial edict to you three times, but you rejected it. Is it possible that I have to ask you personally?"

"Your Majesty, is this what you want? Is Your Majesty forcing you to be a traitor and traitor? Could it be that your majesty still doesn't understand the red-blooded devotion of the minister?" Li Song cupped his hands.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Yuan Bai, today, can you and I meet each other frankly, you and I both speak our minds, don't be perfunctory anymore." Liu Xie laughed.

Li Song didn't say anything, and glanced at the eunuchs and maids waiting around, Liu Xie immediately understood, and said, "Retire for me."

After the eunuchs and maids retired, when only Li Song and him were left here, Liu Xie said, "Yuan Bai, now you can tell the truth!"

"Your Majesty! Before I say anything, I want to know whether Your Majesty is really willing to surrender to me?" Li Song asked.

"To tell the truth, of course I don't want to, but what can I do if I don't want to! I wholeheartedly want to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately, I can't wait."

"Perhaps, my big man is really exhausted! It's time to start a new dynasty. The destiny is no longer in the Han Dynasty. It's really over, how about you? Don't you want to replace me?" Liu Xie said.

Li Song understood that Liu Xie had his difficulties. With his ability, if he became emperor before Han Lingdi, he might still have a chance to revitalize the Han Dynasty, which is a pity!However, he is in this troubled world, and he succeeds to the throne at a young age, so he is naturally suspected of being the master of the young country.

"Your Majesty! To be honest, I really want to replace him! It's just..." After Li Song said this, he didn't say any more.

Liu Xie smiled slightly, sat on the ground, stretched out his hand and patted the ground beside him, motioned Li Song to sit beside him, and Li Song came to sit beside Liu Xie.

Liu Xie looked at Li Song and said, "I understand that you are afraid that after thousands of years, you will be labeled as a traitor!"

Seeing that Li Song didn't speak, Liu Xie thought he had acquiesced, Liu Xie said: "But have you ever thought that even if you don't do it now, you won't be called a traitor in a thousand years?"

After hearing this, Li Song was like enlightened, yes!Even if you don't do it now, future generations will do what they should do. In this case, what is the difference between doing it yourself and not doing it yourself.

"What your majesty said is very true! I am willing to accept your majesty's Zen throne." Li Song got up, bowed his hands to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and saluted.

"Good!" Liu Xie was overjoyed!He got up and came to the table, picked up the jade seal, turned around and came to Li Song, handed the jade seal to Li Song and said, "I give you the jade seal. From now on, you will be the master of the world."

After that, he took a step back, knelt down on the ground, and shouted: "Chen Liu Xie, pay homage to His Majesty Tang Emperor! Long live my emperor!"

"Free from courtesy!" Li Song said to Liu Xie, who was kneeling on the ground, holding the jade seal in his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Xie thanked him and got up.

"After you officially set up the altar meditation seat, you will leave Xuchang. I have already selected a place for you. Go there and spend your old age in peace!"

"I named you the King of Anle! I will give you the entire Anle County as a fief. You can run freely there, and you are still allowed to continue calling me. All the specifications will continue to follow the emperor's system until your death." Li Song said.

After Li Song finished speaking, he turned and left the back hall, walked out of the front hall, and left the palace with Sima Yi and four others. Liu Xie watched Li Song leave.

In the 25th year of Jian'an, a Zen altar was built in Xuchang City. On an auspicious day, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty invited Li Song, king of Tang Dynasty, to go to the altar and accept his Zen seat.

Under the altar, there are more than [-] bureaucrats, large and small, and more than [-] imperial guards. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty personally presented the jade seal to Li Song.Li Song took Yuxi over.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty read out the edict of the Zen position, and the official Zen position was with Tang Wang Li Song. Li Song accepted the imperial edict of the Zen position of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie.

After a series of ceremonies, Li Song officially replaced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty as emperor, changed Han to Tang, and changed the 25th year of Jian'an to the first year of Xinxing.

Immediately afterwards, he was named a hero, and then Liu Xie was named King Anle, demoted to Anle County, and the treatment was retained as an emperor, and he could continue to be called me.

In the Tang Dynasty, a hundred wastes were waiting to be rejuvenated, and it became increasingly prosperous under Li Song's governance.
