"Now is the critical moment of life and death. Could it be that Royal Sister is still willing to not be honest with this king?”
Liu Xie tried his best to suppress his emotions, and his voice became especially low.
At this moment, his delicate face, which should have been full of vigor, was covered in a haze. This contrast made his expression look a little scary.
The Young Emperor returned with a great victory and even eliminated the most terrifying warlord in the world.
After achieving such a feat, the other party's reputation and ruling power would be greatly improved.
It could be foreseen that as the imperial power strengthened day by day in the future, his position would become more and more dangerous.
The Eldest Princess's eyes were still as calm as water, but she could not help but sigh in her heart.
Although this younger brother of his was intelligent and mature, he was still too young and immature. It was difficult for him to keep his cool.
She was silent for a while, then said,"Now that the situation has been decided, Royal Sister is also powerless. Imperial brother, rather than fighting with His Majesty, it would be better to settle down and perhaps find a way to coexist.”
"Coexistence? This is impossible!"
Liu Xie couldn't help but shout.
Ever since he found out that his birth mother, Beauty Wang, was poisoned by Empress Dowager He, the seeds of hatred had been planted in his heart.
Later, He Jin forced his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dong, who had raised him to death. This hatred was even more difficult to fill!
In reality, Liu Xie didn't dislike his royal brother who was in a supreme position. He even felt grateful for his brother's many secret protection.
However, Liu Bian had the He family's mark on him.
There was one more thing.
If Jian Shuo, the leader of the West Garden Army, had not been killed by He Jin, he would be the emperor now.
In truth, Prince Chen Liu did not have the ambition to fight for the throne, at least not now.
However, he knew very well that even if he and his Imperial Brother had the intention of taking the initiative to reconcile, the interests that the two of them represented would never allow them to do so.
Whether it was family hatred or the threat his existence posed to the imperial power, they were all irreconcilable contradictions.
It was only a matter of time before brothers fought!
The Eldest Princess looked at her young brother who had lost his composure and fell silent again.
After a long time.
She seemed to have made up her mind and said with a firm tone,"No matter what, this princess will stand on my brother's side in the future.”
Four months ago, when Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, out of fear of the He family, she took the initiative to form an alliance with Liu Xie, who was still the King of Bohai at that time.
Although the He family had already collapsed by half with He Jin's death, and was no longer as prosperous and authoritative as before.
However, Wannian also understood that this ship could no longer get off.
……
At the north gate of the Imperial City.
Before returning to the Imperial Capital, the city gate captain Wu Qiong and the others had received the Emperor's orders and were ordered to organize a grand welcoming event to welcome the Emperor's triumphant return.
In fact, they didn't need to do anything. The nobles and commoners in the Imperial City had already gathered and waited on both sides of the Imperial City Avenue.
What was worth mentioning was that apart from the majority of men, there were also many women.
One had to know that before Zhu Xi's Confucianism was promoted, women in ancient times did not have so many scruples when they went out.
Even the unmarried daughters of the upper class could go out generously on certain days as long as there was someone to help them.
Therefore, many expectant noble ladies also appeared on the streets.
His Majesty had actually personally led an expedition and defeated the Bing Prefecture Overseer with a large army.
This did not match the image of cowardice in the rumors.
Like everyone else, they all wanted to catch a glimpse of the young emperor's elegance.
Feng Ming, the daughter of Assistant Right Lieutenant Feng Fang, was one of them.
Thanks to the hard work of the attendants, the Feng family seized a position with a good view.
Feng Ming had just stood still when she heard a loud bang. The cheers of the crowd came from the city gate.
Immediately after, a group of armored knights rode into the city.
The armor of these knights looked very exquisite. They were probably the subordinates of Zhijinwu, who was in charge of the emperor's honor guard.
"He's here! Coming!"
Soon after, the people not far away started shouting excitedly.
There was only one person who could make everyone so excited, and that was the current emperor!
As expected, under the escort of two pairs of knights, a young man in gorgeous armor came into view.
At this moment, everyone present no longer had a look of anticipation. Instead, they shut their mouths and respectfully knelt down.
Wherever the young man went, he would kneel down. Looking from above, it felt like dominoes falling down.
Finally, the other party walked in front of him.
Feng Ming also hurriedly knelt down with the attendants.
Unlike the later generations, who used stares to show respect, in ancient times, it was very rude to look at a superior in the eye in most cases.
Thus, Feng Ming only came to take a closer look.
In the end, only a dignified young man's face was imprinted in his mind.
After the emperor's ceremonial ceremony, there were teams of elite soldiers.
The crowd returned to its previous lively atmosphere.
The commoners lined the streets to welcome them, while casting curious and respectful gazes at the Empire's warriors.
The nobles had more thoughts.
Looking at the royal army that had defeated the warlord Dong Zhuo, they began to realize that the current Emperor was still a sacred and untouchable supreme existence!
