At the same time, an edict was issued again, assigning special personnel to prepare the programs to be performed at the celebration. As for the bell and drum towers in the inner city and the outer city, as well as the surrounding military drums, etc., they should also be used together to create a

A grand momentum...

The official Yamen of Xu County City sent people overnight to verify the actual number of wood, silk paper, incense candles, fireworks, fireworks, etc. that are necessary for lighting in each business shop, and be sure to leave enough for the time. All government-owned and private craftsmen's workshops in the city

Immediately work overtime, waiting for orders at any time, making lanterns. Several battalions of healthy soldiers were first mobilized from the camp, all dressed in casual clothes, and went into the city to be responsible for maintaining order inside and outside the city...

For a time, all the officials, big and small, worked frantically, collecting all the lanterns around them, and when night fell, they hung them up on both sides of the imperial street one after another.

Along with the lanterns hanging in the city, huge red lanterns were also hung on the gate tower of the Xu County Imperial Palace. Red lanterns were also hung at the nine gates of the outer city, accompanied by the sound of bells and drums in the palace.

, the bell and drum towers in Xu County City also rang together, one after another, as if there were echoes of bells and drums everywhere inside and outside the city.

The deep sound of bells and drums plunged the entire Xu County into an inexplicable atmosphere.

Scholars put down their books, women lit lamps, businessmen put down their account books, singers stopped playing silk and bamboo, and countless people came out quietly, standing under the eaves, by the windows, on the stone steps, and in the streets and alleys.

He opened his mouth and looked at the formations of Imperial Guardsmen with bright armor walking through the streets...

In these small squadrons of forbidden troops, one person at the head held a lantern high, while the rest recited loudly:

"The importance of the prime minister is to consolidate the country, appoint Yuanliang, and chaste the county. The generals of the Han Dynasty controlled the military affairs of the seven states of Hebei, Yu, Jingqing, Xu Youyang, and supervised the civil affairs of the counties. The Marquis of Yecheng, Cao, was a man of Mengde and Qi Hongrui.

Far away, the wind is luxuriant and prosperous, the grand plan is long-awaited, the benevolent and virtuous conduct is carried out. The thieves and thieves are eliminated, and the conquests are against the court..."

"The appointment is balanced, the performance is only acceptable, the job is both internal and external, and the government and the public have a good outlook, it is appropriate to remove the position of general and be granted the title of prime minister..."

"The administration is courteous, and the auspicious time is to book your destiny..."

The sound was like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples in circles.

"In the sixth year of Taixing, Prime Minister Cao defeated the Jiangdong bandits in Qingxu!"

"The governor of Yangzhou will send his soldiers to present the harvest in front of the emperor's court soon!"

"The Emperor has issued an edict. Lights will be lit for ten days, and the whole world will celebrate!"

Qingxu's great victory?

General?

Prime Minister?

In fact, for many people, they have no idea where Qingzhou and Xuzhou are, and they don't know which part of the Jiangdong bandits are, but they know what "Great Victory" means and understand what "Tongqing" means. Since the Emperor

If there are edicts, then it must be a great "great victory"!

So the cheers first rang out from the neighbors near the Shangshu Terrace, and soon spread to the whole city. Then the cheers also came to mind in the Royal Street, and then everyone inside and outside Xu County seemed to be immersed in joy...

And among the cheers that filled the sky, the only one without a smile was the Emperor Liu Xie, who was huddled in the ancestral temple.

The emperor, who was kneeling before the ancestral tablet, had a slightly stooped body and seemed to look not like a young man, but like an old man in his seventies or eighties.

When Liu Xie was young, he basically lived in a greenhouse built by his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Dong. He had a stable and comfortable life and received simple knowledge infusion, which made Liu Xie even better than Liu Bian.

of innocence and...

ignorance.

Ignorance leads to fearlessness.

On the one hand, Liu Xie was young and had immature thoughts, so he was not able to understand some problems. On the other hand, under the protection of Empress Dowager Dong and the guilt of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, although Liu Xie lost his mother when he was young, he still

He did not feel that life was difficult, which weakened Liu Xie's perception of the dangers of human nature and his appreciation of the difficulties of competition for survival.

Liu Xie dared to shout loudly in front of Dong Zhuo because he was still naive and ignorant at that time and did not understand the horror of life and death like Liu Bian did.

Liu Xie dared to angrily accuse Cao Cao of killing Dong Cheng and Dong Fei because he still believed in the kindness of human nature at that time and did not realize that human beings have known how to snatch food from their mothers since they were babies...

But now, Liu Xie has enough knowledge, so Liu Xie understands what fear is.

Fear is a natural skill of human beings, and it is the innate ability of human beings to avoid being hurt. However, precisely because humans hate the things they fear, once given the opportunity, humans will find ways to eliminate the source of fear.

, put it in the first sequence of what you have to do.

The way to govern is to use kindness and power at the same time. Liu Xie looked through all the previous historical records, the history books written by officials called Taishi, and speculated on the words and deeds of the founder of the Han Dynasty and the great emperor Xiaowu.

Every move conveys the most profound understanding.

But now Liu Xie can't do anything good, and he doesn't have much power.

So what does Liu Xie use to fight against Cao Cao now?

If you can't fight, you can only endure.

There was silence in the ancestral temple.

The cheers from the outside were faintly transmitted in, forming a noisy noise in the ancestral temple, just like the buzzing of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty on the spiritual table...

"After three years without wings, you will grow wings..."

"If it neither flies nor crows, it will be observed by the people..."

"Although there is no flying, the flying will reach the sky; although there is no sound, the sound will be amazing..."

"He listened to the government, deposed ten, raised nine, killed five ministers, promoted six officials, and the country was governed..."

"Raising troops to defeat Qi, defeated Xuzhou, defeated Heyong, united the princes in the Song Dynasty, and then dominated the world..."
