The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo
Chapter 569 Volume 8: Going out on patrol!
The time for the emperor's trip was finally set in September of the tenth year of Jian'an, which was after the autumn harvest in the north. This way, the normal life of the people would not be disturbed as much as possible, and the deliberations of local governments would not be delayed.
"Deng deng deng deng!"
"Deng deng deng deng!"
Although she was the Empress of the Han Dynasty, Dong Bai wore wooden clogs and ran around the palaces like a pony.
"Do you want to take this?"
“Should we prepare winter clothes for the winter?”
"What about food? Should I carry the pot in the kitchen?"
"..."
For Dong Bai, who had never traveled far, everything seemed so new.
Liu Xie was still prepared for her, until he saw Dong Bai bringing all the pots from the kitchen, he couldn't help but give her a knife.
"You don't need to bring anything to eat! And you sound like you can cook?"
Dong Bai covered his head with his hands: "Don't you still have me?"
"what?"
Liu Xie lectured Dong Bai, who naturally refused to accept the criticism: "Isn't it the same for everyone else? No one has ever been out of the house, right?"
Cai Yan: "I am from Chenliu, so I have certainly been outside."
Fu Shou: "I am from Langya, and I have seen the vast ocean."
Concubine Dong: "I am from Hanoi."
As for Zhen Ji, Sun Shangxiang, and Cao Jie, there is no need to say more...
Dong Bai then made the sad discovery that he was the only one who had never traveled far away properly!
"Besides, we're not leaving until September. It's only July now. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Well……"
Dong Bai argued: "Master and Sister Zhaoji always say to prepare for a rainy day. What's wrong with preparing in advance now?"
"Snapped!"
Liu Xie once again rudely slapped Dong Bai with his sword: "Don't bring up Prime Minister Cai and Cai Dajia at this time! Be quiet!"
Dong Bai squatted in the corner with her head in her hands, and Liu Xie warned Cai Yan: "Keep a close eye on Dong Bai! Otherwise, I think she wants to move out of this palace!"
"Here."
Cai Yan had a beaming smile on her face and was obviously looking forward to this trip.
However, Cai Yan still asked: "Will this really not delay your Majesty's state affairs?"
"I heard from my father that His Majesty is going to do several important things during this trip..."
"rest assured!"
Liu Xie was curious: "What else did Cai Zhongcheng say?"
"Father also said..."
Cai Yan thought of Cai Yong's words and suddenly shook her head, as if she was extremely disgusted.
"Father also asked me if I wanted a younger brother..."
"what?"
Liu Xie then remembered that although Cai Yong was famous all over the world, he had no children.
"Cai Zhongcheng is also thinking about sealing the country?"
Liu Xie didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"The main reason is that Yang Biao is disrespectful to his elders. Why did he actually marry a concubine to establish a kingdom for the Yang family?"
"Isn't it too late for Minister Cai to think of raising a child now?"
When Cai Yan heard the emperor teasing her father, she felt even more ashamed, and the blush on her face almost turned into liquid and flowed down.
"Don't bother Zhongcheng Cai with this matter. Next time you see Zhongcheng Cai, tell him that if you have a boy, it's okay for him to take the surname Cai."
After hearing this, Cai Yan was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She lost her composure for once: "No, no, this is not in accordance with etiquette..."
"Hasn't Mr. Cai done enough things that are against etiquette and law?"
The teasing again almost vaporized Cai Yan, and tears appeared in her eyes as she glared at Liu Xie.
"I was wrong!" Liu Xie quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"But what I said before still counts."
"This is not just for Mr. Tsai, but for all of you."
Liu Xie glanced at the women.
"Even though you don't tell me some things, I can probably guess them."
"Although Lizhu is now the legitimate son and was appointed as the crown prince early on, it does not mean that my other children have to be idle and do nothing in Chang'an City."
"In the future, the imperial court will not only enfeoff those meritorious men as princes and allow them to establish states, but my descendants will also each have their own state!"
The women breathed heavily.
Especially Fu Shou and Zhen Ji, who were the only male descendants left, their eyes widened with excitement.
Everyone in the harem knew that Queen Dong Bai's status was simply unshakable.
Similarly, Prince Liu’s identity is equally unshakable.
In addition, the emperor had said long ago that he would not grant fiefdoms within the traditional Han territory of Kyushu, which inevitably made them worry about the future situation of their offspring.
Now that they heard the emperor's clear guarantee, the women felt relieved.
"Here!"
Zhen Ji's eyes were particularly dangerous, and Liu Xie felt a chill all over his body, and he unconsciously tightened his collar a little.
……
The news of the emperor's tour is not like a war. Firstly, it cannot be concealed, and secondly, there is no need to conceal it.
The governors and county magistrates in Guandong took the initiative to clarify the administration of officials.
The provincial governors of each state traveled to various places in their jurisdiction almost day and night. One even set a record of visiting five counties in one day and clearing up ten years of old cases.
Regardless of what the emperor did after this tour, the mere release of the news of his tour brought the administration of officials in the Guandong prefectures and counties to a higher level, which can be considered a meritorious deed.
The most nervous person was undoubtedly Sun Quan, who had just suffered a defeat in Jiangdong...
"The Emperor is coming for me!!"
"The emperor is coming for Jiangdong!!"
"..."
The disastrous defeats in Jingzhou and Hefei made Sun Quan almost panic-stricken.
Upon hearing that the emperor was going on a tour, Sun Quan reacted extremely violently. Not only did he shout and scream, he even ran into the palace naked, as if he was extremely nervous!
"Marquis Wu, the emperor should go from Hedong to Luoyang and Hebei first this time, not to Jiangdong!"
Some people tried to persuade him, but were mocked by Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, this time, you will surely do the same as in the Battle of Hebei, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, in order to launch a surprise attack on Jingzhou!"
"..."
Where did Jingzhou come from in Jiangdong?
Seeing Sun Quan like this, everyone had no choice but to ask Gu Yong for help.
Although Gu Yong was also mentally depressed after the previous defeat, he had not yet lost his mind.
Seeing Sun Quan like this, he raised the tablet in his hand and chopped it towards Sun Quan!
The tablet hit the ground heavily and broke into two pieces with a loud noise.
Sun Quan's eyes finally became clear.
When he saw Gu Yong, there seemed to be regret in his eyes, and he didn't understand why he had just done such a stupid thing and said such stupid words.
"Lord Wu, Jiangdong is still completely helpless right now!"
Gu Yong pointed at the Jiangdong nobles and the small Confucian scholars in front of Sun Quan and said: "The ministers have not given up yet, why should the Lord Wu be discouraged first?"
"And didn't Lord Wu forget?"
Gu Yong wanted to try his best to stabilize the situation, and decided to reveal it to everyone -
"We have the same gunpowder that the Han people have now!"
"If everything is destroyed, how can Liu not be afraid?"
"Although they are not aggressive enough, with gunpowder at their disposal, Jiangdong still has the power to protect itself!" (End of this chapter)
