After handing over Liu Hong's will, Wu Xu took out another edict and said, "There is also the first edict of the emperor after the new king ascended the throne. It was issued to Ao Piqi. Please accept the edict."

Ao Lie fell to the ground again, quietly waiting for Wu Xu to read the emperor's edict.

Wu Xu opened Liu Xie's edict and recited: "The Emperor of Han Dynasty said that I was really frightened in my heart because I was still young and not enough to preside over the court. The last emperor's will, and I was given the title of Liu Yu to the capital as the Grand Marshal. I feel a little at ease. As for external affairs, I always think that when the Emperor was in the late emperor, wars broke out in various places, resulting in the consolation of the court and the people suffering. I feel uneasy day and night. In order to make the world peaceful, I specially appointed General of the Cavalry and Marquis of the Cavalry and led Ao Lie to be the General of the Cavalry. The rest of the original positions remained unchanged, and granted General of the Cavalry to conquer the power and responsibility of the disobedient. You can go to the palace with swords and shoes, worship without name, and enter the court without going to the court. I admire this!"

Liu Xie's edict almost brought Ao Lie to an unparalleled position. If you go further, you will be the king. Why do you say so? This edict seems simple, but actually contains several meanings. First, the promotion of Ao Lie from General of the Cavalry to General of the Cavalry seems to have only added the word "big", but the power and responsibility are much greater than in the past. This big word directly raises Ao Lie's status to the top of the pyramid. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, generals who were labeled with big characters were all important officials with real power. Often, only generals with particularly old qualifications would be labeled with big characters. Even He Jin was only ranked as a general, slightly worse than Ao Lie's General of the Cavalry.

Second, the original position remains unchanged, which means that while Ao Lie holds heavy troops, he can continue to exercise the power and responsibilities of Youzhou's governor. In other words, it is to let Ao Lie's army and government control both the army, and manage the political affairs of a state. This has never been appointed in Liu Xie's previous emperors, and completely delegating power to one person is something that no emperor would do, but Liu Xie did it just like this!

Third, Ao Lie was granted the power and responsibility of expeditioning the unjust ministers. This is not a minor matter. To put it bluntly, Liu Xie granted Ao Lie great authority. It depends on whoever is disrespectful to the court, or who Ao Lie felt that he would be disrespectful to the court, and he would have the power to send troops to attack. If this edict was issued before Ao Lie was appointed as the prefect of Nanyang and encountered Huang Zu riding on the street, then Ao Lie could have justified the death of Huang Zu at that time! It can be seen that the meaning of expeditioning the unjust ministers represented how great the power Liu Xie gave Ao Lie, and at the same time, it can also show how much trust Liu Xie gave Ao Lie. With this, no matter who Ao Lie attacked, he would have a legitimate reason to be impartial.

Fourth, the edict stated that Ao Lie could go to the palace with his sword and his visits were unclear, and he would not go to the court without going to the court. This is a privilege that the emperor would only grant to the most favored ministers. In the laws of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when ministers went to the palace to visit the emperor, they had to take off their swords, take off their shoes, wait outside the hall for a notice, and then get summoned by the emperor before entering the palace. They also had to take small steps to show respect for the emperor. Liu Xie and Ao Lie had a good personal relationship. During the six months of getting along with each other in Luoyang, Liu Xie learned a lot from Ao Lie, and was deeply influenced by Ao Lie's later thinking.

, knowing that Ao Lie doesn't like to kneel and worship, so he simply lifted Ao Lie's bondage so that Ao Lie can bring a sword and shoes, and you don't have to wait for the emperor's prophecy to enter the palace directly. And you don't have to move forward, just take big steps in, and you don't have to kneel in after seeing the emperor. This honor is beyond the present. Even Xiao He, the founding prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, only has the privilege of going to the palace to go to the palace without going to the court. When you see the emperor, Ao Lie is the first person in history!

Based on the above four points, it is enough to show that Liu Xie really trusts Ao Lie. In fact, this is also the butterfly effect brought by Ao Lie's time travel. When he was teaching Liu Xie in Luoyang, Ao Lie hinted intentionally or unintentionally that the Han Dynasty would face a major chaos soon, and the starting point was Liu Hong's death. Dong Zhuo from Xiliang would cholera the capital, which opened up rounds of bloody storms. Although Liu Xie had been with Ao Lie for only half a year, he was impressed by Ao Lie's noble character of caring for the people of the world. During the teaching process, Ao Lie

Some of the fresh arguments and perspectives of looking at things have opened Liu Xie's eyes and benefited a lot. Therefore, today's Liu Xie is no longer the cowardly Emperor Xian of Han in history. Although he is nine years old, Liu Xie already knows how to seize the opportunity and protect himself the most advantageously. Therefore, when Liu Xie took advantage of the throne and the conflicts in the court had not yet emerged, he immediately issued this first edict of the emperor, giving Ao Lie great power, allowing Ao Lie to hold troops outside, and also restraining some people with ulterior motives in the court.

Of course, in addition to his extreme trust in Ao Lie and regarding Ao Lie as his biological brother, Liu Xie issued this edict with another meaning. He knew that his own strength alone would definitely not control the entire Han Dynasty, so he spared no effort to reward Ao Lie as a foreign aid to intimidate the ambitious princes. But after all, Liu Xie's edict was out of trust in Ao Lie, otherwise he would not have given Ao Lie such a powerful power.

After reading the first edict of the emperor, the whole hall became silent. Even Wu Xu, who read the edict, was stunned. This edict was secretly handed over to Wu Xu by Liu Xie. Wu Xu did not know the content of the edict before. After reading the edict, Wu Xu was deeply shocked by the several meanings contained in the edict! What is the difference between this and the title of a king? It is just that his name is slightly different.

Ao Lie himself was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Xie's trust in him would reach such an unparalleled level. Unconsciously, in his mind, on the day of his wedding, Liu Xie secretly ran into the Xianqin Palace with a full face of innocence to peep at him. That young boy back then was now the emperor. Ao Lie still clearly remembered that he loved to touch Liu Xie's little head with his hands the most.

"Ao Piqiu... That, Aozhou Governor, uh, lord, please accept the order." Wu Xu was shocked and reminded Ao Lie to accept the order. However, Wu Xu seemed a little at a loss for Ao Lie's title. He called General Cavalry, which was not suitable, because Ao Lie has been given the position of General Cavalry, so he should be called General Ao, but it was a bit difficult to call him "Zhou Mu", which was not suitable. His former Youzhou Governor has not yet resigned, and Liu Yu was still Ao Lie's father, in front of him.

It was a bit embarrassing for Liu Yu to call Ao Lie the governor of the state; in the end, Wu Xu simply changed his words to call Ao Lie the lord. The title of Champion Marquis is definitely an honor in the hundreds of years of history of the Han Dynasty. So far, only four of Ao Lie have been awarded the title of Champion Marquis. Such a title can not only show the dignity of Ao Lie's identity, but also have no other inconsistencies. In fact, this is no wonder Wu Xu, who made Liu Hong and Liu Xie and his son give Ao Lie so many official positions one after another?

Ao Lie's body shook, and he stood there and said loudly: "My minister Ao Lie received the order, thank the emperor for his kindness." Since Liu Xie gave Ao Lie the privilege of not having to kneel down and worship, it is exactly the same as Ao Lie's wishes. As a soul who has traveled through time in later generations, Ao Lie is not used to kneeling down and worshiping. Therefore, Ao Lie naturally stood up to receive the order.

Wu Xu nodded slightly and silently handed the edict in his hand to Ao Lie.

It was not until Ao Lie stood and received the emperor's edict that the Youzhou civil and military officials woke up. Looking at Ao Lie's upright body, his eyes were full of enthusiasm. These people were naturally officials that Liu Yu thought were trustworthy and were relatively loyal and upright officials. Therefore, these civil and military officials did not have any jealousy about Ao Lie's honor, but were sincerely relieved. In fact, among the Youzhou officials, most of them had already regarded Ao Lie as the next provincial governor, and many people called Ao Lie the young master rather than a general. Now that Liu Yu has been promoted, Ao Lie naturally took over the position of provincial governor, which is something these officials like to hear.

At present, the civil officials, led by Yan Rou, and the military generals led by Shi Huan, came to Liu Yu and his son in two groups to congratulate Liu Yu on his promotion and Ao Lie as the governor of the prefecture. For a moment, the entire hall became noisy again, and everyone celebrated loudly, congratulating the prefecture family on their happiness. Finally, at Shi Huan's suggestion, this banquet, which was originally a celebration for Ao Lie, turned into a farewell party and a welcome banquet, which not only saw Liu Yu off, but also welcomed Ao Lie. Dozens of officials in Youzhou returned home drunk after the banquet.

Three days later, the west gate of Jicheng.

Liu Yu, Ao Lie and his son stood side by side on the city wall at the west gate, looking at the out of reach of China.

"Do you remember the song you thought you made on Youzhou Taiwan?" Liu Yuxian broke his silence.

Ao Lie didn't say anything and nodded slightly.

Liu Yu recited quietly: "I don't see the ancients in front of you, and I don't see the coming from behind. I think of the vastness of the world, and I burst into tears. Lie'er, now your status is unprecedented and no one has come from before. You have done the first two lines of this poem. In the future, remember to treat the people of Youzhou well, and not let the people under the ruler be displaced and cry out in tears."

Ao Lie firmly replied: "Don't worry, father, the child's wishes are not just to let the people of Youzhou have enough food and clothing. I, the millions of people in my Han Dynasty, will keep them in my heart."

Liu Yu reached out and patted Ao Lie's broad shoulders and said with relief: "My son has this ambition, it is not in vain to raise you for his father. By the way, the court is full of dangers. I don't know what the future will be for his father this time. Your mother, just stay in Jicheng. With you and Yan'er taking care of you, you can rest assured to be your father."

Ao Lie felt that Liu Yu seemed to have the intention to explain his funeral, and changed his color and said, "Why did my father say these unlucky words? My son and my mother hope that you can return safely. However, the form of the court is indeed very subtle. Although Xiao Xieer, uh, although the emperor has ascended the throne, he is still young after all. He Jin and the Ten Changshi have been fighting for power and profit for half their lives. It is impossible to remain indifferent at this critical moment. However, the child thinks that none of them is afraid of them. The only thing that makes the child feel dangerous is Dong Zhuo of Xiliang. This man is a wolf-like ambition. No matter what happens in the court, the father must not let this person enter Luoyang."

Liu Yu turned his head and looked at Ao Lie, and said intently: "Xiliang Dong Zhuo? I believe in your judgment for my father. This matter has been recorded for my father."

Ao Lie sighed, wondering if the wheel of history would deviate due to his arrival. If it still develops in the previous order, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the troubled times of the Han Dynasty would really come. Forget it, it’s up to man. Ao Lie knew that he could not control the inertial development of history, so he no longer had to worry about this matter.

Looking up at the sky, Ao Lie said reluctantly: "Father, it's getting late, it's time for you to set off."

Liu Yu nodded silently, and under Ao Lie's gaze, he turned around and walked down the city. Then, accompanied by dozens of personal guards who had already been waiting outside the Xicheng Gate, he left Jicheng and headed towards Luoyang.
