Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 424: Capital Relocation Ceremony! Heaven, Earth, Ghosts and Gods All Listen!

After all, a granddaughter is not as good as a grandson, and there is a huge difference between the status of princes and princesses, so Yan hopes that Lu Lingqi can give birth to a son.

Of course, there is another reason. Lu Bu has never had any children. Even if he enjoys great honor now, he cannot inherit it, and the family lacks a pillar.

It's also good to have a grandson to help and support the Lu family.

Hearing this, Lu Lingqi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not easy to get pregnant with a dragon heir. Even if mother urges me, I can't do anything."

Just as Yan was about to speak, she heard a baby crying and Lu Bu's panicked voice: "Hey, why are you crying?"

"Grandpa didn't mean to scare you, don't cry, don't cry..."

Yan frowned, stood up and went to teach Lu Bu a lesson.

……

In the Qingli Palace, Liu Xie was personally holding a jade bowl and feeding medicine to Zhen Mi.

Since Zhang Zhongjing entered the palace to treat Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi's lung disease has improved significantly, and the frequency of her coughing has become much less than before.

"Well……"

Zhen Mi took a sip of the medicine and her brows instantly wrinkled. Before she could take the second sip, she couldn't help but turned her head away and started to dry heave.

Liu Xie was no longer surprised by this situation.

Although the prescription prescribed by Zhang Zhongjing was good, it was extremely bitter. He almost spit it out after tasting it. Even if he added a lot of honey to it, it was of little use.

In addition, Zhen Mi is now pregnant with the prince and suffers from frequent morning sickness, so every time she takes medicine it is a torture for her.

After gently patting Zhen Mi's back and waiting for her to feel a little better, Liu Xie handed her a handkerchief and asked with concern, "My beloved, do you want to add some honey to the medicine?"

"No need, Your Majesty."

Zhen Mi's face turned pale, but she shook her head and said, "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Mr. Zhang said that honey is cold in nature, and eating too much will not be good for my condition."

"Just let me... take it easy for a while."

Liu Xie had no choice but to put down the jade bowl, took a handkerchief from the palace maid next to him, and gently wiped the corners of Zhen Mi's mouth.

Seeing how attentive and considerate he was, Zhen Mi couldn't help but be moved.

As the emperor, Liu Xie had a lot of things to deal with every day, but he would still come to visit her without fail, and even took charge of small matters such as feeding her medicine.

How could she not be moved by such meticulous care?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty should still focus on state affairs. My condition has improved a lot, so there is no need for Your Majesty to worry about me."

Of course, she hoped that Liu Xie could always be with her, but she understood that national affairs were much more important than love. She could not delay Liu Xie because of herself and let him be branded as being obsessed with the beauties in the harem.

"Why, can't I take care of both state affairs and my beloved concubine?"

Liu Xie teased Zhen Mi with a smile, and said calmly and pretentiously: "My beloved concubine still underestimates me. With my ability, handling government affairs is a piece of cake and will not delay at all."

Hearing this, Zhen Mi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your Majesty is just boastful. It is obvious that Your Majesty has left all government affairs to Sima Changshi and Zhuge Shangshu to handle, so Your Majesty has so much free time."

Liu Xie's expression froze when his secret was exposed by Zhen Mi on the spot.

However, as the emperor, he still had to save face, so he said stubbornly: "I am training my subjects' abilities and giving them a chance to show their abilities."

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Xuanshi Hall and ask all the ministers to see if there is anyone who is unwilling to work overtime. This is all their blessing. Do you understand blessing?"

Seeing Liu Xie’s blushing face, Zhen Mi covered her mouth and smiled.

In fact, she was just talking.

Although Liu Xie asked his ministers to assist in handling government affairs, he still had to personally oversee many decisions and occasionally worked until very late, but it was not as hard as before.

"Your Majesty, how is Zhen now?"

After the teasing, Zhen Mi couldn't help but ask about Zhen's current situation. She hadn't paid any attention to it since the last time.

So she had no idea how Liu Xie dealt with Zhen later.

Liu Xie put the jade bowl aside and said, "Your brother took the initiative to confess his guilt, and the main culprits in the case of burning the imperial envoy also committed suicide. I did not pursue the matter further because of Zhen's past contributions."

"I have sent all the members of the Zhen family back to their original places, but have confiscated most of the Zhen family's assets. However, I still employ members of the Zhen family to manage these properties."

Liu Xie did not hide anything and told Zhen Mi how he dealt with Zhen.

Embezzling huge amounts of property and setting fire to the imperial envoy were such serious crimes that according to the law the entire family should be executed and the clan exterminated. However, only executing the main culprit and confiscating the clan property was considered extremely lenient.

Of course, the main reason is that Zhen Yi is sensible and Zhen has the merit of following the emperor.

Otherwise, this matter will never be easily resolved.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Upon learning that Zhen was saved, Zhen Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and a huge weight was finally lifted off her shoulders.

After all, the Zhen family was her relative, and she naturally did not want to see the Zhen family fall into a situation of being exterminated. However, losing power and wealth was already the best outcome.

Liu Xie did not continue to discuss this topic, but said: "The capital will be moved back to Chang'an soon, and I will go back then."

"But my dear, your health has not yet recovered. You should continue to stay in Yecheng to recuperate. You can go to Chang'an after the heir is born."

“This is also the advice of the two gentlemen.”

Zhen Mi was sick and pregnant.

It's really not suitable for long distance travel.

He asked Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, and both of them suggested that Zhen Mi should stay in Yecheng to recuperate for a while, which was the safest way.

"I will follow your majesty's orders."

Although Zhen Mi felt very disappointed, she knew that Liu Xie was doing this for her own good, so she agreed meekly.

Liu Xie stroked her cheek and said, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. When you return to Chang'an, the world will be at peace."

"Come on, take the medicine."

Zhen Mi nodded slightly, took the jade bowl from Liu Xie, and drank the medicine in it.

……

As the days go by.

The day to move the capital soon arrived.

Moving the capital to Chang'an was an extraordinary event, and the court spent a full six months preparing for the move.

In the palace, in the bedroom.

Liu Xie was changing into the dragon robe and crown with the help of Queen Guo and other palace maids.

At this time, Kong Rong walked into the bedroom, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready. You can go to the southern suburbs to worship the sky."

Liu Xie turned around after hearing this, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Kong."

Looking at the emperor in front of him, who was wearing a red and black dragon robe and had an extremely majestic demeanor, Kong Rong could not help but be slightly startled. After he came to his senses, his eyes were actually red.

"Restore the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital... Your Majesty, you have finally done it."

Kong Rong said with a complicated expression.

He still remembered the first time he met the emperor. The emperor was still very young, but already had the demeanor of a heroic ruler, and talked to him about his ideals and ambitions.

Now, five years have passed, the emperor has fully grown up, and the promises he made in the past have been fulfilled one by one. Now he wants to move the capital back to the former imperial capital of the Han Dynasty - Chang'an!
Thinking of this, Kong Rong knelt down before Liu Xie and cried, "I will die with no regrets if I can see the revival of the Han Dynasty with my own eyes!"

Seeing Kong Rong crying, Liu Xie sighed in his heart, stepped forward to help him up, and said solemnly: "How can you talk about death when your great cause is not yet accomplished?"

"I promised you that you would live well and watch me conquer the world and build a prosperous Han Dynasty. You must not break your promise, otherwise you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor." "Do you understand, Lord Kong?"

Kong Rong was touched. He kowtowed heavily and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Kong Rong, will obey your Majesty's order!"

He was glad that he made the right choice.

If we choose to support the false emperor in Xu County, the Han Dynasty will probably be destroyed and completely ruined!
"Get up, it's almost time, all the officials are waiting outside, don't keep them waiting for too long."

Liu Xie smiled, stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

At this time, all officials were waiting in Tai'an Hall.

Everyone is dressed up today.

Ministers such as Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Sima Yi, as well as trusted generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun were all waiting for his arrival in Tai'an Hall.

I saw the emperor wearing a dragon robe and a crown walking into the hall.

Everyone present was in a state of solemnity.

The emperor's aura and majesty became more and more powerful, and the majesty he displayed at this time made people feel palpitating and awe-inspiring from the bottom of their hearts.

"See Your Majesty——!"

Led by Guo Jia and Jia Xu, all the ministers saluted.

Looking at the civil and military officials below, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel excited. He raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, everyone."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the hall.

The ministers followed in an orderly manner.

Outside the Tai'an Palace was a huge and open square. At this time, there were many square formations composed of Yulin Guards and Huben Army, neatly arranged in the square.

Today the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

But despite the scorching sun overhead;

Despite being heavily armored and in the sweltering heat;
Although the sweat from their bodies had gathered into puddles under their feet, none of them fell down, and even the hands holding the weapons did not move at all!
Every soldier stood like a javelin, silent and murderous.

Like a silent and sharp knife!

As Liu Xie walked out of Tai'an Hall, countless soldiers' eyes were focused on him!
Hot and bright!
Liu Xie led all the officials and walked past the soldiers. Wherever he passed, the soldiers on both sides put their right fists in front of their chests and knelt on one knee to salute.

Pay the highest respect to the emperor they are loyal to!
After leaving the palace, Liu Xie boarded the dragon chariot and went to the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs under the escort of the Yulin Guards and the Huben Army.

The news of the capital relocation had already spread throughout the entire Yecheng, so there were a large number of people watching on both sides. Today, the streets of Yecheng were almost deserted.

All the Han people had expressions of incomparable excitement on their faces. Each of them looked at Liu Xie sitting in the royal chariot with sincere enthusiasm and respect on their faces!

Liu Xie invented the Jian'an machine and the Jian'an plow. He also often made private visits in disguise, sympathized with the people, and introduced various policies that benefited the people. His wisdom and benevolence had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

I dare not say about other states, but in the northern states such as Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, etc., Liu Xie's reputation has reached an unprecedented level!

The streets were filled with cheers from the people.

Liu Xie rode on the dragon chariot, constantly waving and smiling to the people on both sides, which made the people even more excited.

A huge ceremonial guard slowly passed through the street.

When they were approaching the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs, Zhuge Liang and a group of officials in charge of presiding over the sacrifices came to welcome the emperor.

"See Your Majesty——"

Zhuge Liang and many officials paid homage with great ceremony.

The faces of the officials present all had expressions of fatigue that were difficult to conceal, but it was no wonder, as the procedures for preparing for the sacrifice were extremely numerous and complicated, and could be said to be quite tiring.

Moreover, it was a very hot day today, and almost all the officials present had their clothes soaked with sweat, and they were even gasping for breath when they walked.

Seeing this, Liu Xie nodded to Zhuge Liang and other officials and said, "Thank you all for your hard work in moving the capital."

After hearing Liu Xie's words, many officials present immediately perked up and straightened their backs.

A word of encouragement from the emperor is more refreshing than a bowl of iced plum soup on a hot day!

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said, "It is our duty to share your worries. Your Majesty, please ascend the altar and offer sacrifices as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Liu Xie nodded slightly, and then, surrounded by countless Han people, he stepped onto the Temple of Heaven.

And from the first step he took onto the Temple of Heaven.

Then the sound of grand ceremonial music began.

The grand and solemn ritual music is magnificent and exudes an indescribable sense of solemnity, as if only the sound of music resounds between heaven and earth.

At this time, the Temple of Heaven was already filled with a variety of sumptuous offerings, as well as a large bronze tripod with a blazing fire.

When moving the capital and offering sacrifices to heaven, the emperor needs to recite prayers.

"The majestic heaven shines down upon the earth; it gathers the spirits of the earth and sends down sweet wind and rain. Everything is in its proper place, and all living things are in their proper place, and everyone is in their proper place, both now and in the past."

"The changes of the heavenly way make the yin and yang change, the different traditions make the life flow smoothly. If the will of heaven does not change, how can the four seasons be formed? If human affairs do not change, how can the government govern the people?"

"Doesn't the Book of Changes say: 'If you understand the changes, you will make the people tireless'; 'If you understand the changes, you will understand; if you understand, you will last long'. 'If you have virtue, you will last long; if you have merit, you will be great.' I have also heard that if you are at peace and can move, the people will change greatly."

"So the Ji Yi Zhou Dynasty, as King Wu intended, the Yin people moved five times and completed the achievements of the Tang Dynasty. If you don't follow the will of heaven, your achievements will change. Those who love people and govern the country will agree with this! Chang'an is the capital of our Han Dynasty since ancient times. It is within the royal capital, where heaven and earth meet, and yin and yang are in harmony. I will revive the Han Dynasty, and now I will return to the old capital..."

The music stopped, and Liu Xie's clear and solemn voice echoed throughout the world.

Every citizen heard it clearly, and a feeling of piety arose involuntarily in their hearts.

The people folded their hands, closed their eyes and prayed.

I pray in my heart for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Reciting the prayer is the most important process. As long as there is no sudden bad weather such as thunder and rain, it means that God has no objection to the relocation, and the Han people will be safe and sound in the future.

Then the ritual officials would offer tributes to the heavens, and after that Liu Xie could lead the people in worshipping the heavens, thus ending the sacrifice.

Of course, this situation is basically impossible to happen. The days for offering sacrifices to the sky are carefully selected by the officials in charge of calendar and astronomy. They dare not joke with their own nine clans.

So until Liu Xie finished his prayer, the sky remained clear.

After Liu Xie finished reading the prayer, he threw it into the burning bronze cauldron. The prayer turned into a wisp of green smoke that slowly rose up into the sky accompanied by the whistling wind.

This time, Liu Xie did not play the trick of purple air coming from the east as he did during the previous grand sacrifice, because there was no need for it. This kind of thing only needed to be done once in a while.

Seeing the prayer finished burning, Liu Xie stood up straight. He looked up at the cauldron in front of him, then he saluted and spoke in a deep voice under the watchful eyes of everyone:

"The previous emperors are above us! May our Han Dynasty prosper forever!"

"God and earth are in front of us! May our Han Dynasty have good weather and the people live in peace and health!"

"Liu Xie, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, tells him——!"

Liu Xie bowed deeply.

Then countless people and civil and military officials knelt down and saluted under the altar!

"The previous emperors are above us! Protect and bless our Han Dynasty to prosper forever!"

"God and earth, may our great Han Dynasty enjoy good weather and the people live in peace and health!"

The mighty sound spread all over the place.

The grand and majestic ritual music plays again!
The gods and ghosts in heaven and earth all hear it!
