Chapter 5 Chang’an is my capital of Han Dynasty

Overnight peaches are juicy, pink and tender, with juices overflowing in one bite.

Everyone is paying attention to this young emperor, and no one dares to look down upon him.

Liu Ke had a cold expression on his face, and without wiping the juice from the corner of his mouth, he slowly said:

"The world was in chaos, and the Han Dynasty was exiled and experienced hardships. Fortunately, I came to the throne and there was a glimmer of hope. However, Yu Wenbai falsely claimed to be the regent, stole his authority, and the regent was treasonous. Now he has been executed!"

None of the ministers dared to speak.

Those who were interested, whether they were guards from the Yuwen clan or warriors who had colluded with Yuwen Bai, were all shocked for a moment and did not dare to act rashly.

Yue Shaoqian, who had just picked up the palace lantern and prepared to force Yuwen worship to die, was trembling all over.

Regardless of whether the big man could be saved or not, at least the emperor's courage made him feel that everything he had just done was worth it.

Yang Zhong, on the other hand, looked a little uncomfortable. He kept his head lowered, as if he didn't want to see the emperor being too strong.

Liu Ke threw the remaining half of the peach away and smashed it to pieces on the ground.

The beaded curtain on the crown was still trembling, and he said the same words as before nonchalantly:

"I have ascended to the throne at a young age. I still need all my ministers to work together to share my worries. I hope you will assist me with your heart."

"How dare I continue to exert my humeral strength and continue my loyalty, and then die in the past!"

This time the ministers' response was much more sonorous. Liu Ke felt a little sarcastic in his heart and pointed at the civil and military officials with one finger:

"I want you to take down Yu Wenbai, but you act deaf and dumb. Yu Wenbai begs for death, but you turn a deaf ear."

"Strength of the buttocks? Loyalty? You are not good at it!"

"Fortunately, I run Yiyantang and do overlord business. You can do it even if you can do it, and you can do it even if you don't!"

Whether they are radicals, neutrals, or people with different intentions, they all hide their faces with their sleeves and feel guilty in their hearts.

Of course, it's more about fear.

If the emperor has done nothing and just utters such cruel words, everyone here who is not an old fox in official circles will treat it like a child and joke.

But the body of Yu Wenbai, the most powerful warrior in the Southern Kingdom, was placed in the center of the hall.

The blood is flowing out gurglingly and is still warm. Who is not afraid of this kind of thunderous method?

Yue Shaoqian may not be afraid. Not only is he not afraid, he is also applauding.

But he also felt guilty. Although he could not single out a civil servant to kill Yu Wenbai, he still felt that he had failed to do his job, at least not to protect His Majesty immediately when a conflict occurred.

But there were more important things at the moment. He came out to ask:

"The Donghu army is approaching the city. I hope your majesty will make preparations in advance!"

When the ministers came to their senses, they also asked to kill Yuwen Bai. Troublesome things are still to come!

Without the most powerful warrior in the South leading the army, who would deal with the Donghu army?

Who can deal with the Donghu army?

This is also one of the reasons why those with evil intentions did not take any further action.

Donghu's army is only ten miles away from Qiongzhou City. Taking into account the chaos just now, it will only take half an hour to reach the city. By then, it will not matter who is the emperor or who sits on the throne.

"Oh? Yes."

Liu Ke looked at the spy with a cold expression:

"Tell me, where is Donghu's army now?"

The spy said word by word:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Donghu army is still a hundred miles away from Qiongzhou City!"

Hundreds of miles away?

The ministers' brains were overloaded for a moment. It was only ten miles just now, but now it's hundreds of miles?

Could it be that the Donghu people all ride horses backwards?

"Go down."

Liu Ke sent the spies away. After hearing this, the spies picked up their long bows and retreated.

At this moment, the officials understood instantly.

This horse riding was a trap set up by the little emperor! It had been arranged with the spies a long time ago!

If Donghu soldiers and horses had not arrived so quickly, even if Yu Wenbai wanted to be regent, he would not have been so eager and would not have raised an issue in the court.

With the military power in Yu Wenbai's hands, he could directly surround the palace with troops. What could the weak and weak emperor do?

But as soon as the Donghu troops arrived, Yu Wenbai had to take action in advance and break all plans, and the little emperor had a chance to win in the chaos.

Liu Ke tapped on the table and said calmly:

"It takes Donghu soldiers and horses three days to travel a hundred miles, so we don't have much time!"

Yang Zhong adjusted his clothes and robes, walked out of the queue and said:

"In this case, please continue with the enthronement ceremony, Your Majesty."

"Since the enthronement ceremony has been interrupted, it means that our ancestors do not want me to complete the ceremony today."

Liu Ke took off his crown, lowered his head and drew a circle on the bottom of the table: "Qiongzhou City."

"What is this place?"

"Borderland, small town, state capital."

He drew a circle in the center of the desk again, and his tone became intense:

"Chang'an City, this is my capital of the Han Dynasty!"

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty will ascend the throne in Chang'an!"

"We want Zhuque Street to be lit up for ten miles, we want Daxiangguo Temple to chant sutras continuously, we want bells and drum towers to ring twenty-four times, we want 108 squares, and all the people celebrate together!"

"I will point to the tablets of the late emperors in Weiyang Palace and let them see how majestic and majestic the emperors of the Han Dynasty were!"

Yang Zhong stood up straight, with two lines of clear tears overflowing from his eyes.

Chang'an, Chang'an!

Can.

The ministers were also silent, interrupting the enthronement ceremony, which was obviously extremely disrespectful of etiquette and tradition. Even if they were born among the people, it was too presumptuous.

And what they want to say more than red tape is that it is unreliable, completely unreliable.

If the Han Dynasty really had the power to recover, how could he change the capital five times in twenty years?

Even as fierce as Yu Wenbai, he had never thought about regaining the mountains and rivers before, but only passively resisted the enemy.

Diehard Han loyalists like Yue Shaoqian only want to prolong the Han Dynasty for one more day.

Measured in days, not even years.

I am afraid that this arrogant little emperor will have to wait for a heavy blow from the Donghu army hundreds of miles away before he can accept the swaying mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty.

Why.

Yang Zhong sighed in his heart, if Your Majesty likes it, let him go, it has been arranged anyway.

Liu Ke didn't care at all what the ministers thought. He was as high-spirited as a young emperor coming to court for the first time, so he continued:

"Where is Yue Shaoqian?"

"I'm here!"

Yue Shaoqian's eyes were clear. He was indeed not optimistic about the future of the big man, but that was a rational conclusion drawn after looking at the overall situation of the world.

One thing comes to another. As a Han minister, you don't need to be too rational. Even if the Han Dynasty is unable to recover, you must be the last afterglow of the empire.

"The enemy invaders from the East Hu are coming. I wonder if you, Ai Qing, have any good strategies to defeat them?"

Yue Shaoqian accepted the order happily and replied seriously:

"I have four strategies."

"speak."

"First, the late emperor has recently been mourned, the people's morale is unstable, and the enemy invaders are approaching. The situation is critical. We can only move forward one foot, and cannot retreat an inch. Your Majesty, please personally come to the city to stabilize the morale of the army."

"Second, allocate food and grass to support at any time and reserve logistics."

"Third, summon the militia and open the treasury to reward the three armies and boost morale."

"Fourth, when changing generals, the troops and horses in the city must be in reliable hands."

"good."

"Choose Yue Shaoqian as Shaobao, temporarily act as general, and lead the imperial army."

Liu Ke quickly made a reward to fill Yu Wenbai's vacancy:

"Since Yue Shaobao has a good plan, let's go down and prepare it!"
