Xudu.
It was also the Xuchang after the name change.
Apart from the imperial palace in the inner city, the outer city was also being expanded.
In the outskirts, the people's residences were moved to Biechi, so the inner city was guarded by soldiers and horses.
Cao Cao brought along the emperor's ceremonial guards and all the civil and military officials. Along the way, his heart was heavy.
He didn't know if Xu Zhen was really done. If he couldn't satisfy the emperor, he wouldn't be punished.
However, he might become the laughingstock of the officials.
That would be meaningless.
At this moment, Zhao Zilong was still called to accompany the guards in Tian Zi's carriage.
Little Liu Xie asked Zhao Yun about many interesting things about the people along the way. When they approached Xuchang, he asked worriedly,"General, can Lord Bowen really do it?”
"Satisfying me…I am easily satisfied, but if you keep the civil and military officials silent, I'm afraid it won't be that simple.”
Zhao Yun's brows suddenly relaxed, and she was stunned for a moment.
His Majesty's words suddenly made him a little absent-minded, so his lips quivered a few times.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about General Bowen?"”
"Well, you can say that because General Zilong said that he is a benevolent person. We are all people of the Great Han Dynasty, and I am no exception. I don't want him to be punished.”
"Fifteen days. Even I…don't dare to say that I will build a palace.”
Liu Xie looked out of the carriage window and peeked his head out to see the prototype of Xuchang. The external buildings had already begun to take shape.
He looked back at Zhao Zilong and sighed,""General Zilong, you have saved my life. Later, no matter how simple the interior of the palace is, I will say that I am very satisfied. I will make all the civil and military officials speechless and will definitely not punish Lord Xu.”
Zhao Zilong smiled.
She was a good child, intelligent, kind, and likable.
"Alright, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Well, I hope not…"
Sigh…
Liu Xie was too embarrassed to continue speaking halfway.
He just wanted to express that he hoped it wouldn't be too ridiculous…
Even though he was a dying emperor, he had stayed in Chang 'an for many years. He had also been raised by Empress Dowager Dong in the palace of Luoyang.
His knowledge was definitely not shallow, and his vision was even extremely high.
Ordinary things definitely wouldn't be pleasing to the eye. If it was too fake…it would still be unconvinced, and then it would be meaningless.
Not long after, the carriages and guards of honor, accompanied by hundreds of guards, entered the inner city of Xu City and saw the magnificent gates of the Imperial Palace.
There was also the armory built in the Imperial City.
The long and narrow Sima Gate said.
They arrived at Shu Jian Pavilion. After climbing up two flights of stairs, they arrived at a huge square that seemed to be boundless.
At the end of the square was a palace building with hundreds of stairs.
The main hall was the throne room.
Behind them were countless buildings and palaces that were being trimmed.
This palace wasn't big. Compared to Luoyang, it was less than the size of a side hall, but it was still a prototype.
However, when they stepped onto the square after passing through the road, there were already people who revealed disappointed expressions.
It was Dong Cheng, the censor. His body was like a melon, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Dong Cheng's legs were not long. He sighed and said first,"This is against the constitution of the country. This place is small, and Xu County is less than one-tenth of Luoyang. The palace is also so simple and crude, with only one main hall.”
"Sigh, Your Majesty has been wronged. Is there no hope for us?”
At this moment, Yang Biao, Zhong Yao, Yang Feng, and the royalist generals were all coldly facing each other.
Other than the old officials of the Han Dynasty who had followed along, the royalist generals had also come from outside and brought tens of thousands of soldiers, including Dong Cheng, who had 5,000 soldiers.
These soldiers and generals had only surrendered after Zhao Zilong had single-handedly killed Li Jue, causing the Western Liang rebels to scatter. Guo Si had also led his troops to an unknown location.
If they were dissatisfied and there was internal strife, Cao Cao would be defeated.
He would even be laughed at by the Yuan brothers and the heroes and dukes of the world.
Cao Cao didn't want to fall into such a situation.
As soon as he heard this, he was speechless and his face darkened.
Cao Chun, Cao Hong, and the other generals had even started to stab Cao Ren in the back.
Cao Ren turned around and glared at them." F * ck! What?"
"Prepare to act. These people are not satisfied and will definitely cause chaos.”
Cao Ren pursed his lips and looked at Cao Chun and Cao Hong's sneaky behavior. He put on a stern face and said impolitely,""As a general, you can't be burdened by emotions! Anger and anxiety will lower your intelligence! Don't panic!"
"I…"
The corners of Cao Chun and Cao Hong's mouths twitched.
Wisdom!
However, just as the atmosphere was extremely awkward, Liu Xie suddenly spoke.
"There are only fifteen days left. It is already very rare to be able to reach this stage. Perhaps Minister Xu is doing his best.”
Cao Cao was stunned, but he immediately felt relieved.
Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, on the other hand, shrunk their heads in resentment. The royalist generals did not dare to say anything.
However, Yang Biao and the other powerful figures already felt that something was wrong. The Emperor seemed to be doing this on purpose.
Back in Chang 'an, Thief Dong had spent so much money to build the palace. He would miss Luoyang's Imperial Palace. Now that he saw this palace that was half the size, he was actually satisfied?
" Your Majesty must be afraid of Cao Cao's anger," Dong Cheng said to the official behind him." When we enter later, we have to find out what's wrong first. We can't let Your Majesty suffer."”
Yang Biao turned around and whispered,""Xu Zhen has put in a lot of effort to stay here. However, he can't stay for fifteen days. I think we should think of a way to reject Cao Cao's advice and then send an edict to Ye City in Jizhou.”
"Alright, I think so too."
"I'm afraid that Xu Zhen will put some rare treasures inside to confuse His Majesty and rope in the ministers.”
"When you enter later, no matter what it is, don't ask or speak. Just say that it's not good.”
"Okay, then it's settled."
Therefore, after the few of them discussed it, they became even more determined. Moreover, they were not particularly worried about what strategy Xu Zhen would use.
It was just the last place.
With this mindset, the emperor held Zhao Yun's hand and followed Cao Mengde into the main hall of the palace.
After the tour, he knew that everything was ready and there was nothing to pick from, so he went to the back hall.
The most important thing was the location of the palace. If they did not live well, they would not be able to stay in peace. If they had the chance, they could directly say that they were leaving.
However…
When they stepped into the courtyard, they were stunned.
Everyone, including Liu Xie, looked at the layout and decoration of the entire palace with doubt, curiosity, and anticipation. It was as if they had fallen into a dream.
