The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 500 Volume The West needs us!
It is impossible to enjoy...

After Dong Bai came in and hit Liu Xie on the chest with a headbutt, Liu Xie couldn't fall asleep even if he wanted to.

"Bai, don't do this with jewelry next time, or someone might die..."

Liu Xie looked at Dong Bai's eyes which were full of water and almost about to overflow, but he did not blame her in the end and touched her head.

"I brought you some gifts this time, but Liaodong is bitterly cold, and there is nothing valuable here, just some pearls and giant clams."

After hearing this, Dong Bai was indeed depressed...

But Liu Xie smiled and said, "It's just that when I arrived at Penglai, I heard some legends about the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and Xu Fu crossing the sea to seek elixir."

Snapped!
Dong Bai's eyes opened immediately, and they were extremely clear.

He quickly grabbed Liu Xie's arm and said, "What? Are there really immortals in the East China Sea?"

"I don't think there is any immortal, but..."

Liu Xie seemed to think of something and laughed even more happily—

"To the east, there is a huge land with countless treasures. It is like a fairyland on earth. You can hit roe deer with a stick and scoop fish with a ladle. Pheasants will fly into the rice pot... Do you know what this means? It means that you don't have to hunt and feed them. You can just hit roe deer with a stick in the forest, and fish will come into the ladle when you go to the river... There are even rivers full of honey and houses made of desserts."

"hiss!"

Dong Bai could no longer control his saliva and it began to flow down slowly.

Cai Yan, who was standing beside him, had already woken up. She poked Liu Xie with a complaint, "Your Majesty is trying to coax the Queen again. What if the Queen insists on going?"

"No! Not coaxing!"

Liu Xie, serious face.

"At the end of the East China Sea, there really is a fairyland on earth!"

Cai Yan was stunned...

The two imperial concubines Fu and Dong as well as Zhen Mi also came to the palace to pay their respects.

Just as Cai Yan said.

Fu and Dong are fine.

Zhen Mi's eyes seemed to be on fire.

If it weren't for her remaining sanity keeping her calm, she might have done something strange.

Liu Xie stood up, raised his arms, and stretched comfortably with all his strength, making his muscles and bones crack, and then he let down his arms comfortably.

"Today I will make Bai a Liaodong delicacy called Pot-Boiled Pork. Bai, just wait patiently."

Dong Bai immediately stretched out his hand, made a gesture of gratitude, and then followed Liu Xie eagerly.

"I'm going to the kitchen, what are you doing following me?"

"No! You might disappear again someday!"

Dong Bai became even more aggressive. He didn't dare to do it just now because Cai Yan was watching him, but now he used his hands and feet to climb onto Liu Xie, sticking to Liu Xie's back like a giant octopus.

"white……"

Facing Dong Bai, who was already a mother but did not behave like an adult at all, Liu Xie smiled slightly and could not bear to scold her.

He patted Dong Bai's buttocks with the back of his hand: "Hold on tight! I won't be responsible if you fall."

"Humph."

Dong Bai sneered contemptuously, but his thighs clamped Liu Xie's waist and abdomen even tighter.

Maybe Dong Bai was not afraid that he would fall, but was just afraid that Liu Xie would disappear again.

"I was so bored after His Majesty left."

Dong Bai also started complaining.

"That girl Cao Jie has suddenly become rich, and she always likes to follow some doctors to draw blood..."

"Xiangxiang's temper is getting worse and worse. It's no fun to play with her. She's a crazy girl."

"Sister Zhaoji is always urging me to study... so annoying!"

When facing Liu Xie, Dong Bai said almost everything he knew without hiding anything.

"It's okay. I'm back now, right?"

"Ok!"

Dong Bai put his face close to Liu Xie's ear.

"But I didn't do nothing! I wrote down all the stories that His Majesty told me before, so I can read them slowly!"

As if showing off, Dong Bai took credit for it from Liu Xie, and when Liu Xie heard it, he became interested in him.

"What books did Bai write?"

"The Legend of the White Snake, The Butterfly Lovers, Journey to the West..."

Liu Xie's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Bai Dang really helped me a lot!"

"Then let me have a look at Journey to the West later. After I revise it, it can be circulated."

"..."

After hearing this, Dong Bai turned his face away, obviously unhappy.

In Dong Bai's heart, those stories are obviously his own!
Now the emperor wants to spread these stories, which makes Dong Bai feel inexplicably betrayed.

Liu Xie noticed that Dong Bai was wrong, so he immediately advised: "Bai, think about it carefully. If you are the only one who knows those stories, what's the point?"

"It's like if you go to Chang'an Street and shout "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong", but no one knows who he is, is that really interesting?"

"On the contrary, if you spread these stories and let the people of the Han Dynasty know who the characters in those books are, wouldn't you feel more accomplished?"

Liu Xie's tone was extremely bewitching: "And the author of these books will all be Bai~~~" "Imagine that in the future, when someone is admiring a character in a book, Bai suddenly jumps out and shows himself in front of everyone, saying that the book was written by you. Wouldn't you feel very refreshed?"

"Um……"

Dong Bai has been gradually convinced.

However, Dong Bai still asked, "How does your majesty want to change Journey to the West? You can't make the Monkey King unable to become a great sage, right?"

"Of course it's impossible!"

Liu Xie already had a draft in mind:

"First of all, the Buddhist monk must be replaced."

"To seek the true scriptures, you must change!"

"It would be better to change it to: An envoy from Daxia suddenly came from the west, saying that they were bullied by the Northern Xiongnu and Wusun, and requested the Han envoy to go to war to suppress them."

"So there is a story about a Han envoy holding a Han scepter, wearing gold and silver scale armor, who exorcises demons along the way and eventually suppresses the Northern Xiongnu!"

"..."

Dong Bai’s little head always feels buzzing!

But I also feel that this story is a little too suitable for today’s Han people!
In order to save the Great Xia Kingdom from being oppressed by the Northern Huns, the Han envoys fought through all the obstacles along the way, killed all the monsters and demons on the road, and saved the country thousands of miles away...

If this story were to spread, wouldn't it instantly top the best-selling list in Chang'an, Han Dynasty?
And Liu Xie's mouth corners were slightly raised.

What is the meaning of seeking Buddhist scriptures and exorcising demons?
Wouldn’t it be better to meet the Queen of the Kingdom of Women and marry her directly?

The female fairies on the road all cried and begged to marry the Han envoys because of their identities, so it’s not impossible?
The most important thing is that after arriving in Bactria...that is, Sindhu, you can completely describe that the palaces of Bactria are all made of gold, and the rivers are flowing with milk!
Afterwards, the return route was designed for the Han envoys to take a boat from Daxia to Annan Protectorate, and then return to Chang'an via Shu!
Isn’t this story much better than the original Journey to the West where the road was filled with corpses and blood?
Thinking of this, Liu Xie immediately turned around and slapped Dong Bai hard on the face!
Dong Bai, who was always carefree, felt a little shy after this and moved his head back.

I discussed the specific details with Dong Bai for a long time.

A "Journey to the West" that has almost nothing to do with the original one is slowly coming out at this time!

It is said that during the reign of Emperor Xiaozhang, an envoy from Daxia came from the west, met the emperor, wept in the court, and said that the Chanyu of the Northern Xiongnu was invading Daxia and requested the Han Dynasty to send troops to conquer them.

Emperor Xiaozhang originally intended to send out 100,000 troops to fight against the Xiongnu, but Ban Chao, the brother of Ban Gu, the Imperial Clerk, gave up his pen and joined the army. He said to Emperor Xiaozhang, "Why does Your Majesty need to send out 100,000 troops? I alone can defeat the Northern Xiongnu!"

Afterwards, Ban Chao set out on his journey alone and encountered various monsters on the way. Only then did he realize that the Western Regions were haunted by ghosts because there was no Han civilization.

During this period, Ban Chao took in three apprentices, turned over a new leaf, and used the poetry, books, etiquette and laws of the Han Dynasty to educate the Western Regions and eradicate the evil spirits of various countries. Finally, he gathered the strength of all countries, destroyed the Northern Huns, and successfully spread the glory of the Han Dynasty to the West!

"hiss……"

Liu Xie got excited after reading the book he edited himself.

Isn’t this thing much more meaningful than the journey to the West?

Liu Xie couldn't even imagine how excited those Confucian moralists would be if they really saw this book!

The Western Regions needs us!
Daxia needs us!
Liu Xie suddenly looked strange.

If those ignorant scholars saw this book, would they all run to the Western Regions?
If that's the case, it would be a double blessing!

The name "Journey to the West" was also abandoned by Liu Xie and changed to "Ban Dingyuan's Story of Conquering the Demons"!
perfect!

"His Majesty."

"Hmm? What's wrong? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

Dong Bai looked at the burnt black in the pot with distress——

"The meat is mushy..."

"..."

After dozens of days of bloody battles, with Liu Xie leading the direction of the story, Cai Yan, Fu Shou and others responsible for polishing it, and under the personal supervision of Dong Bai, a long novel in the form of chapters about gods and demons with hundreds of thousands of words was officially released!
Liu Xie read it twice and immediately made the decision -

“Send books!”

Just then, a palace maid came to report.

"Your Majesty, Secretary Jia is here."

In the past few days, Xun Yu had quarreled with Liu Xie several times about the issue of enfeoffment and establishment of states.

But Jia Xu never came here once.

But what must come will always come.

Liu Xie took a deep breath——

"Xuan!"

Jia Xu entered the palace.

Liu Xie did not sit upright like he would do to an ordinary person, waiting for Jia Xu to salute him. Instead, he went down and grabbed Jia Xu's wrist, pulling him directly onto the couch.

"Why does Wenhe look older?"

"As your majesty grows stronger, I will naturally grow older."

Jia Xu didn't care at all.

"Leaves fall in autumn and grow in spring. This is the most basic principle of all things. It is also the principle of 'Lun Heng' that Your Majesty most respects. Your Majesty, what is there to be surprised about?"

Having said that…

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu's temples, at the white hair that couldn't be concealed, and sighed.

"But I still don't want to see Wenhe grow old."

"I don't want to see that Wenhe wants to quarrel with me again even at this time."

Liu Xie already knew it well.

"Even if it's Wenhe, you don't want to support me in establishing a state this time, right?"
