When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!
Chapter 323 I Don’t Want to Be a Puppet
Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. They stared at Zhu Ming with their mouths wide open and couldn't close for a long time.
Although they had not yet found a particularly satisfactory candidate for heir to the throne at this moment, Liu Xie had never been included in their consideration!
Having been a puppet emperor in name only for more than 30 years, he has not been able to turn the situation around and become a formal employee for such a long time, which shows that his ability is indeed limited.
Emperor Jing of Han was full of suspicion and could not believe his ears. He widened his eyes and asked Zhu Ming loudly in disbelief: "Xiao Zhu, are you kidding me? You actually want this kid to continue to be the emperor. How can he take on such an important responsibility?"
Emperor Wu of Han also nodded repeatedly, indicating that he agreed with his father's opinion.
Emperor Wu of Han frowned and agreed with a serious face: "That's right, father is right. I seriously suspect that if the throne is really handed over to Liu Xie, our Han Dynasty will face the disaster of national destruction again!"
As he spoke, Emperor Wu of Han looked Liu Xie up and down with a questioning gaze, muttering to himself: No matter from which angle you look at it, Liu Xie does not have the temperament and talent to be the ruler of a country.
Zhu Ming smiled slightly, as if he had expected them to have such a reaction.
He responded calmly, "Since both of you think Liu Xie is not suitable, do you have any other suitable candidates? In my opinion, we don't have to stick to selecting from the royal family. Others may be worth a try. For example, Cao Cao, although he is ambitious, we have to admit that he is still capable. If that doesn't work, there is still Liu Bei, after all, he is also a relative of your Liu family."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing of Han jumped up in a hurry, waved his hands and shook his head, and shouted firmly: "No, no, absolutely not! How can the throne be passed to an outsider?"
The Han Dynasty is different from the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
Both the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were foreign invasions of the Central Plains that seized the great territories of the Han Dynasty!
The Han people were treated unfairly.
Many people had the idea of expelling the Tartars.
In the end, they were separated and they didn't feel any sense of disobedience.
The Han Dynasty is our own empire, how can we just watch it fall into the hands of others?
And when the time comes, you will have to contribute money and manpower to help with the construction!
Just thinking about it makes me feel a little depressed.
At this time, Zhu Ming smiled slyly and said, "Didn't it always prevail in ancient times to bestow surnames? In my opinion, you can give Cao Cao and others the surname Liu. From now on, we can call him Liu Cao or Liu Mengde. It would probably be better to give it to Cao Cao than to Liu Xie."
Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han's eyelids began to twitch rapidly as if he was having a seizure.
To let Liu Xie become emperor was already beyond the imagination of Emperor Wu of Han.
If Cao Cao really ascended the throne, it would be better to let Liu Xie continue to sit on the throne. After all, the country still belongs to the Liu family!
Emperor Wu of Han waved his hands hastily: "Actually, I think the throne should be held by a capable person. However, the Han Dynasty must not be the first to set such a precedent. When Li, Zhao, Zhu and others also act in this way, it will not be too late for us, the Han Dynasty, to carefully consider it."
The Han emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and murmured anxiously, "What should I do? Is the Han Dynasty going to be without a leader? Wouldn't it make others laugh at me? The Liu family can't even train a qualified person!"
"Yes, yes, my son, you are right! This matter is really tricky, and it is difficult to come up with a perfect solution for the time being. It is better to put it aside and discuss it when the time is right in the future."
Thinking of this, Emperor Han Jing calmed down and continued, "The most urgent thing right now is to return to the villa to rest for a while, and then go to Xiao Liu to check the specific situation. Time is running out and there can be no more delay."
Emperor Jing of Han felt that it was not appropriate to discuss this topic now.
Otherwise, the Han Dynasty might have really lost a few decades.
If anyone else had dared to utter such treasonous words and attempted to interfere in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han would have slapped him in the face without hesitation.
After all, for the Liu family father and son, the Han Dynasty is a legacy passed down from generation to generation. How could they allow others to covet it?
However, the person who made this suggestion this time was Zhu Ming.
The key is that Zhu Ming is indeed capable of doing this, and it does not seem to be too difficult to achieve.
The two of them did not doubt that Zhu Ming coveted the throne.
After all, Zhu Ming himself was the emperor, and he did not care much about the throne. In fact, compared with the empresses of other dynasties, the affairs that Zhu Ming was in charge of were very few.
Cao Cao and Liu Xie were picked up and stuffed into the car.
Zhu Ming slammed the accelerator, and the commercial vehicle sped along the cement road that wound through the fields like a wild horse.
The wheels made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Cao Cao in the car seemed to have completely forgotten the pain in his body. He opened his eyes wide, his face full of astonishment, and his gaze was fixed on the rapidly receding scene outside the window.
He muttered to himself, "This... this speed is simply shocking! What on earth is this?"
Zhu Ming smiled slightly: "This is a common means of transportation in later generations, a car, similar to your horse-drawn carriage, but much faster."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xie, who was sitting next to him, quickly stuck his head out of the car window to find out what was going on.
As soon as the head was stretched out, an extremely strong gust of wind blew towards me like a ferocious beast, making it difficult to open my eyes.
Liu Xie could not help but exclaim in amazement: "How fast! Even Lu Bu's Red Hare can hardly reach such an amazing speed! It's a pity that weapons cannot be wielded freely on this chariot, otherwise, its power would be far greater than those war horses."
Hearing this, Emperor Jing of Han could not help but snort coldly and said with disdain: "Have you ever been on a real battlefield, young man? If you can tie some sharp blades to the roof of this car, its lethality cannot be underestimated. Besides, this kind of vehicle is not used to fight in battle. When you see the heavy trucks, you will know that once they charge, even those majestic war horses can only retreat obediently."
"Heavy truck?"
Cao Cao and Liu Xie looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes.
Obviously, neither of them knew anything about this strange word.
After making several sharp turns, the business car slowly stopped.
Zhu Ming opened the car door and shouted, "Everyone, we're here!"
Cao Cao and Liu Xie slowly got out of the car, stood still, and stared at the somewhat strange building in front of them.
The building was only a few steps away from them, and from a distance, many parts of its walls were shining brightly, as if shrouded in a mysterious glow.
When they saw the scene clearly, they were all dumbfounded and shocked.
I saw that the wall that seemed strange at first was actually made up of countless pieces of crystal clear colored glaze!
These colored glasses are pure in texture and bright in color, emitting charming brilliance under the sunlight.
"Glass! It's actually glass! What kind of prodigal son is this who would use such precious glass to build the wall? It's such a waste of resources!" Cao Cao shouted in surprise.
Liu Xie at the side also echoed: "Although I am the emperor, I have never seen such a large-scale glass product!"
"You are the prodigal son, your whole family is a prodigal son!" Zhu Ming, who had been following them, cursed angrily, and explained helplessly: "Don't be surprised, the two of you, in fact, as long as you master the correct production method, firing colored glaze is not difficult. In other dynasties, colored glaze is no longer a rare thing."
Then, the group walked into the villa. As soon as they stepped through the door, they looked around like curious children, with countless questions in their minds.
Fortunately, there happened to be a female bodyguard in the villa sent by Lao Yang and Lao Zhu to take care of the children.
It was daytime and the children were in school, so the female bodyguards did not have much to do.
Several people stayed in the future for a long time and were already familiar with everything here.
It has been successfully integrated into later generations.
I buy all kinds of cosmetics online every day, order milk tea from time to time, and watch TV series when I have nothing to do.
Sometimes, he would also act as a mentor to novice learners, enthusiastically answering questions and resolving doubts for the ancients who had just arrived.
Facing Cao Cao and Liu Xie, two visitors whose minds were full of questions, he patiently answered their questions.
Zhu Ming led a few people to a restaurant in the city.
As soon as you step into the store, an enticing aroma hits your nose.
Liu Xie and Cao Cao couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
After sitting down, their eyes were immediately attracted by the dazzling array of delicacies on the exquisite round glass table.
Liu Xie stared at the sumptuous food on the table with his eyes wide open, muttering to himself, "Is this really the world of the Han Dynasty more than a thousand years later?"
Emperor Jing of Han, who was sitting next to him, raised his head slightly, with a faint smile on his lips, and responded slowly: "Why, in our Han Dynasty, have you ever seen such a scene? Have you ever seen a carriage that runs much faster than a horse? Have you ever seen such a prosperous and bustling city with tall buildings?" As he spoke, he waved his hand and pointed to the bustling streets and various buildings towering into the sky outside the window.
Recalling the scene he saw when he entered the city just now, Liu Xie was still shocked.
The small town that Zhu Ming mentioned was far beyond Liu Xie's understanding of the small town.
In the small town, cars and horses flow like water and pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder.
On both sides of the road stood tall buildings several dozen feet high, their scale and grandeur far exceeded his imagination;
People's clothing is even more varied, completely different from that of the Han Dynasty;
The characters that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys are also obviously different from the Chinese characters they are familiar with.
No matter from which aspect, this place is completely different from the Han Dynasty.
Even the dumbest person can easily notice that they do not belong to the same era.
Liu Xie shook his head slightly and answered truthfully: "I have indeed never seen him. But... since this place is already in the future, why do you still call yourself Emperor Xiaojing?"
He looked at Emperor Jing of Han with a puzzled look on his face.
"Isn't it strange? Xiao Zhuke has the ability to travel through different eras. Going back and forth between ancient and modern dynasties is as easy as drinking water. He can even bring other people with him. Can't I, your ancestor, come and take a look when I have nothing to do?" Emperor Jing of Han said with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course. So, you are really the ancestors of Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu?" Liu Xie still found it a little hard to believe.
Emperor Wu of Han said calmly: "If it weren't for your ancestor, who would bother with you!"
Since stepping into the city gate, Cao Cao, who had been silent all the way, seemed like a different person and suddenly became bold and unrestrained.
He rolled over his arms and opened his stomach, eating and drinking voraciously at the table full of delicious food.
When Cao Cao actually found himself in this small town, he was dumbfounded by the completely unfamiliar scenes around him.
Cao Cao realized that the world that Zhu Ming had mentioned more than a thousand or several hundred years later might not be false.
The Han Dynasty relied on its powerful military force to dominate the region, and was far ahead of neighboring countries in many aspects including military, politics and culture.
However, compared with this city, the gap is beyond imagination.
Even the capital of the Han Dynasty could not be compared with it.
If it's a little different, maybe it's possible.
Such a huge gap would never have been possible in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Since this time span of more than a thousand years actually happened, then what the two men who claimed to be Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han said might also be true.
You know, Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han were the most famous emperors in the entire Han Dynasty!
Especially Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, who was an iron-blooded emperor who was good at fighting and had great power.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
He had fought with the two men before and had used many violent means, which had already offended these two notorious figures.
Now, he was shocked to hear that Zhu Ming actually possessed the magical ability to lead people to travel freely through dynasties. Cao Cao felt as if his heart had instantly fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body was cold.
I couldn't help but cry out in my heart: It's over. Maybe one day Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu will lead a million strong army to support the emperor. Maybe, starting from Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, dozens of emperors will lead their armies to come.
I might want it then.
It will happen sooner or later. It would be better if you can eat more before you die.
Cao Cao could think of it.
Liu Xie was no exception.
The next moment, Liu Xie burst into tears and fell to his knees with a thud: "I, the unworthy descendant Liu Xie, pay my respects to the late Emperor Xiao Jing and the late Emperor Sheng Wu."
Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han nodded slightly: "Okay, get up, the etiquette here is different from that of the Han Dynasty."
"Cry, cry, cry! You are already the emperor, how can you cry so much?"
Liu Xie seemed not to have heard it. He kowtowed three times and nine times, crying out: "Two ancestors, help me, I don't want to be a puppet!"
The room immediately became quiet.
Cao Cao shouted in his heart: Don’t look at me, don’t look at me.
Unexpectedly, I ate too fast just now.
"Uh!"
A loud burp broke the silence. (End of this chapter)
