Chapter 304: Conferred by King Yan
All the officials spoke in public, and Liu Xie had made up his mind and could not change the final outcome by letting Ao Lie evade. Immediately, Liu Xie spoke fluently while writing and writing ink. He wrote on the bright yellow imperial edict: The Marquis of Chanjun, General of the Cavalry, led the commander of the five northern states Ao Lie, who was originally from the royal family and was of the same generation as me according to the royal family genealogy. During his guardianship of Yanzhao, he made extraordinary achievements, quelled the turmoil of foreign races in the northern border, and successively sent several Huns and others.
The alien race surrendered to the Han Dynasty, accepted the sinicization, and added luster to the Han Dynasty's territory. This was a great achievement for expanding territory and expanding territory. It has never been known since ancient times. In addition, he was also concerned about the Han Dynasty and repeatedly saved the Han Dynasty in times of difficulties. He made great contributions in water and fire. Therefore, he has now granted Ao Lie the title of King of Yan and was given nine tins. He enjoyed the privilege of not following the court, praise and worshipping the palace without swords and shoes. The five northern states are still under the control of the King of Yan, and were in Yanjing. The country was named Yan. Wherever the King of Yan went, I was like I came here. I admire this!
When Liu Xie finished writing the imperial edict, although the civil and military officials of the court had long known that Liu Xie would have given Ao Lie a heavy reward, they were still surprised. The conferment of Ao Lie as king was a consensus reached by Liu Xie and all officials, and there was nothing to be surprised; giving Ao Lie to have three privileges, including not entering the court, was also a privilege that Liu Xie had long given Ao Lie, and everyone had been accustomed to it; but Liu Xie gave Ao Lie to Jiuxi, which was a bit of a special treatment.
六, nine is the most important. Nine is itself a high meaning of honor and honor. People who are often granted nine tins have a deeper meaning, which is regarded as the successor of the emperor. Especially after Wang Mang usurped the power, nine tins have almost become synonymous with usurped the power. Some people with heavy troops often ask the puppet emperor to reward them with nine tins first, and occupy a title in the great sense in order to carry out formal conspiracy of usurping power.
But Ao Lie was different this time. Ao Lie was granted the title of Jiuxi, which was completely willing by Liu Xie. Liu Xie's intention was to use this method to tell people all over the world. If one day Liu Xie unfortunately died, the Han Dynasty would not fall into turmoil again, because there was Ao Lie! At this moment, Ao Lie was officially appointed as the successor of the next emperor by Liu Xie!
There is another evidence for Liu Xie's intention, that is, in the last part of the imperial edict. Liu Xie bluntly stated that wherever King Yan went, it would be like the emperor coming. Liu Xie's words were already very explicit, and he chose Ao Lie as the first heir to the throne, and he could see it at a glance. Moreover, Liu Xie also pointed out in the imperial edict that Ao Lie's Yan State would be established in Yanjing. Where is Yanjing? That is one of the spare imperial capitals of the Han Dynasty. It is not something that everyone can have.
Ao Lie can naturally think clearly about things that all officials can understand. Liu Xie's imperial edict has already put Ao Lie in the position of the emperor's heir, and it is not surprising that Ao Lie is Liu Xie's emperor's brother. It would be contrary to etiquette to make Ao Lie the crown prince. However, Ao Lie was not happy about the identity of the emperor's heir, because Ao Lie did not want to be the emperor at all. Since ancient times, he has been extremely high. As his status has become higher and higher, Ao Lie knew,
He will inevitably become another person, a lonely person. To be fair, Ao Lie still likes to play harmless jokes with his brothers like now. He often gets together and gets drunk, although his alcohol tolerance is not good. If he becomes the emperor and becomes the emperor, those brothers who are close to him on weekdays will definitely have more fear and less intimacy. As the saying goes, being with the king is like being with a tiger, let alone a strong monarch like Ao Lie?
On the other hand, Ao Lie now, from his heart, he only wants to have a clear conscience and do his part for peace in the world. Success is a welcome pleasure, but failure is no big deal, because Ao Lie knows that the trend of history will always develop, and the world will eventually end the war and reunify, Ao Lie is just leaving the will of heaven. But if his identity as the heir of the emperor is confirmed, a heavy burden will invisibly press on Ao Lie's shoulders, making Ao Lie always feel a great responsibility. For Ao Lie, a person with a soul from later generations and a person who is keen on adventure and martial arts, this responsibility is really too important.
If I had known this, I would have led my troops back to Hejian overnight last night. Ao Lie thought to himself annoyed. In this situation, Liu Xie's reward could not be rejected no matter what. It seems that his King of Yan is determined. Forget it, just be the king. Anyway, he is not the emperor. Liu Xie is in his prime and it is still early to give way to himself. He can still live like before. At worst, he can only spend more time on the people of the Han Dynasty. Anyway, the trouble has been a day or two, a year or two.
Seeing that he could not refuse, Ao Lie had to comfort himself and accept Liu Xie's enthronement. After receiving Jiuxi and other objects, Ao Lie no longer dared to stay in Luoyang. He was afraid that Liu Xie would do something that he could not accept, so he immediately formally submitted his farewell to Liu Xie and the civil and military officials in the morning court.
Liu Xie did not try to keep Ao Lie. After all, the war in Hebei was in a tight situation, and no one would feel at ease without Ao Lie presided over the overall situation. Because of the war, Ao Lie's ceremony of being named King Yan was extremely simple, and there was no axe to set up an altar to celebrate the world to pay homage to heaven and earth. Liu Xie issued an edict to inform the world. After the officials visited the ceremony, they would have completed the ceremony of enthroning the king. As soon as the morning court ended, Liu Xie brought civil and military officials to see Ao Lie off. This fare was twenty miles away. On the way to see off, Liu Xie rode on a white horse and drove side by side with Ao Lie. He stretched out his right hand to hold Ao Lie's left hand, and he kept talking nonstop, as if in front of Ao Lie, Liu Xie, who was very calm in daily life, had endless words to say and express his heart.
No matter how slow the speed of the advance was, the twenty-mile distance finally reached the end, and it was the moment of separation again. Liu Xie let go of his right hand, turned over and dismounted, stood respectfully on the side of the road, and said loudly: "See you off for the King of Yan!" All the civil and military officials quickly turned over and dismounted, divided into two rows, and followed neatly: "I will see you off for the King of Yan!"
Liu Xie reduced his identity and saw him off like a little book boy, which really touched Ao Lie's heart. Ao Lie turned over and dismounted, bowed to Liu Xie and the officials, and said with emotion: "What kind of virtue is that I can do? I really feel ashamed to see him off with everyone."
Two drops of clear tears slid out from Liu Xie's eyes. He said in a sincere tone: "I am the emperor, but I am the younger brother of the emperor. It is natural for the younger brother to see off his brother. If it weren't for the elder brother's teachings and helps over the years, how could Liu Xie sit in the dragon court? Maybe he would have become a king of a country that was destroyed long ago; if there were no elder brothers fighting south and north, intimidating all directions, there would have been no idea how many people in the world would have proclaimed emperors and kings. The reason why the Han Dynasty had today's revival was inseparable from the elder brother's contribution. Please let the younger brother help his elder brother get on the horse."
As he said that, Liu Xie took two steps forward and pulled Ao Lie toward Zhaoye Xuelong Joe. Ao Lie could feel that Liu Xie's hand was trembling at this moment. At this moment, Liu Xie was no longer the controller of the big man, but an ordinary big boy next door who could not be more ordinary. With excitement and reluctance, he was sending his brother to the war.
Turning over and jumping onto Zhao Ye’s horse’s back, Ao Lie felt his eyes become a little wet, and bowed to Liu Xie and all officials on the horse’s back, and shouted: “Your Majesty, take care of me! I will definitely give my great man a bright world as soon as possible! There will be a date in the future!”
Liu Xie took two steps back, tears in his eyes surged out again, he folded his hands together and said to Ao Lie: "Teacher, take care of yourself." The officials were also excited by the touching scene in front of him. Many people had already shed tears. Amid the sobs, they shouted loudly to Ao Lie: "Take care of yourself, King Yan!"
Finally, Ao Lie looked at Liu Xie deeply, with encouragement and appreciation in his eyes; there was sorrow of parting, and the expectation of seeing each other again... Countless thoughts were intertwined in this look and passed on to Liu Xie. Although Ao Lie's look was so complicated, Liu Xie still understood it because they were brothers, brothers who had experienced life and death together, and had the same origin.
As the murderous bloody killing army and the Hu Ben army moved, Ao Lie finally left quietly, just as he arrived quietly, leaving only a stable Luoyang, but did not take away a trace of clouds.
Seeing Ao Lie gradually moving away and finally disappearing from sight, Liu Xie still stood there and watched, refusing to leave for a long time. No one could understand his current mood, and even Liu Xie himself could not explain why he was so attached to Ao Lie.
Liu Xie is not a fool. Whether it is the puppet Emperor Xian of Han in history or Liu Xie, who is now developing into a generation of wise kings, his intelligence is beyond doubt. The title of a king of a different surname is a destruction of the orthodox Han Dynasty. Liu Xie is not unaware of this, but he still did this because he felt that if someone could stand up and save the Han Dynasty, then this person must be Ao Lie. Liu Xie believes in Ao Lie, and this trust has transcended all the constraints.
As Liu Xie himself said, it was Ao Lie's years of teaching and support that allowed Liu Xie to gradually control the situation, have his own imperial guards and regular troops, get rid of the embarrassing situation of the puppet emperor, and regain the dignity and majesty that the emperor of the Han Dynasty should have. If it weren't for Ao Lie, everything Liu Xie controlled now would be an out of reach dream.
The emperor's mind is the thinking hidden in the hearts of every emperor. Even if he is a foolish emperor, he has his own little plan. Liu Xie is naturally no exception. He knew clearly that delegating power to a person like this might make the Han Dynasty, which had just improved, fall into chaos again. However, Liu Xie is first of all, and secondly, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. People will be grateful. The current country was defeated by Ao Lie's bloody battle. Liu Xie is just a living. If one day, Ao Lie wants to take back this country from Liu Xie, Liu Xie also feels nothing wrong. After all, in the process of rebuilding this country, Ao Lie made much more contributions than Liu Xie, and Ao Lie is not an outsider. The country of Han is ultimately the Han Dynasty and has not fallen into the hands of outsiders.
However, Liu Xie knew that Ao Lie would never take the initiative to take back his country, because in Ao Lie's eyes, friendship is always much more important than the country.
