Chapter 322: The Great Tribute.

Chapter 232: The Great Tribute.

boom! ~
The gates of the imperial city, which had been sealed for more than a month, were finally opened.

Liu Wu, wearing court robes, strode into the imperial city with his head held high...

The imperial city was kept fairly clean.

At least from Sima Gate to Chengguang Hall, there is nothing to see as far as the eye can see.

Following closely behind Liu Wu were the rulers of more than 40 countries in the Western Regions. They walked side by side in pairs, with their heads lowered, cowering timidly, following the people in front of them, extremely afraid.

"Follow me, walk faster..." The one who protected the tribute team was Ma Chao.

He walked back and forth, inspecting back and forth, urging these kings.

In Chengguang Hall, on both sides of the imperial steps, hundreds of soldiers stood firm, adding a solemn and murderous atmosphere to the imperial city.

Liu Wu's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly thought in his heart: Finally, it looks good...

When Liu Wu walked to the front of the imperial steps, he stopped and bowed: "Liu Wu followed the emperor's order to march west, fought hard for several years, and finally won!"

"Today, I am bringing the monarchs of the Western Regions to the court to meet the emperor..."

The voice is clear,

Wandering in the imperial city.

Liu Wu's words were extremely respectful and full of dignity, which made the Western Region monarchs, who followed behind with their heads down and dared not look up, feel awe of the Han emperor.

In their hearts, Liu Wu was already the most terrifying existence. But now, Liu Wu was so respectful to the emperor and the court. In their hearts, the Han emperor and the Han court were more terrifying than Liu Wu.

In a moment,

A general came out of the hall holding a sword. It was Zhao Zilong. He shouted from a high place: "The King of Chu is here to see you!"

Liu Wu stepped forward and went up the stairs...

He was the only one left.

The last time he attended court in Xuchang, Liu Wu walked side by side with Cao Mengde. At that time, he and Cao Mengde stood on both sides and walked side by side.

right now,

Only him.

In fact, he is already the most powerful person in the world...

Liu Wu's eyes became deep, and he walked alone at the front of the imperial road, wow! ~
He waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly upwards...

Every time you go up a step, it feels like you are stepping on tens of millions of people.

The further you go, the higher you go.

Ma Chao, who was following behind, took a casual look and was stunned. The sun was at its zenith. Under the reflection of the sunlight, the autumn wind blew her crown and robe. She walked up the imperial steps alone with her hands behind her back...

What a lofty mountain to look up to.

After a moment, Ma Chao lowered his head, feeling filled with emotion. Even Dong Zhuo and Cao Mengde at their peak probably did not have such momentum.

Qingzhou,

Yanzhou,

Yuzhou,

Xuzhou,

Jingzhou,

Huainan Hefei in the north of Yangzhou,
Guanzhong.

Liangzhou.

Hanzhong is located in the northern part of Yizhou.

And the vast western region, with more than 40 countries...

This is unprecedented.

Since the decline of the Han Dynasty, no one has ever been able to control such a vast territory, nor has anyone ever been so powerful.

When they first attacked Guanzhong, they were far inferior to those who intimidated the Qiang people in Hebei.

Although the Yellow Turbans, who threatened to shake the Han Dynasty, were numerous, they did not reach this point.

Even Yuan Shao, who occupied Qing, You and Ji at his peak and was once the number one warlord in the world, could not do it.

Cao Mengde's peak time was on the eve of the Battle of Chibi. At that time, he almost occupied the entire north and the entire Jingzhou. His strength should be on par with Liu Wu at that time, but!
At that time, Cao Cao had the three states of Hebei that Liu Wu did not have: Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou.

Liu Wu also occupied the Guanzhong area that Cao Cao did not have, the twelve counties of Liangzhou, and the vast territory of the Western Regions...

Guanzhong is the base of the Han Dynasty and has great significance.

Liangzhou was the place where the Han Dynasty declined and the world was in turmoil. Liu Wu conquered Liangzhou and put an end to the Qiang rebellion forever. It was a major event that excited the whole of China!
Needless to say, the Western Regions are thousands of miles long. The Western Regions are back, and that means the once prosperous Han Dynasty is back...

Therefore, in comparison, Liu Wu at this time might still be on par with Cao Cao at his peak in strength.

However, in terms of momentum, Cao Cao is far inferior. Moreover, Liu Wu has an additional bonus, his last name is Liu...

Whether it was the people of the world or the officials in the court, they could see the shadows of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Shizu in him. This was beyond doubt, and even Cao Mengde had to admit it.

at last,

After walking up the imperial steps, we arrived in front of the palace.

His hands left his back. He could no longer put his hands behind his back. To enter the palace with his hands behind his back was disrespectful, a sign of contempt for the emperor and the court...

Now it has come to this point,

Liu Wu needed to maintain the sanctity of the Han emperor more than anyone else.

More than anyone else, I need to maintain the dignity of the Xudu court...

With a slight flick of his sleeves,
wow~
Inside the palace, all the officials,
Outside the palace, many kings,
I couldn't help but be moved...

It was as if his slight flick shook the vast land within and outside the Han territory...

Liu Wukuo stepped into the hall,

Countless eyes were fixed on him...

Full of reverence,

admire,

There are endless expectations...

They all know,
Although they wouldn't say it, they all knew that this was the future emperor...

The current emperor had already told them about the Golden Summit Agreement.

The emperor said it himself.

Many ministers also advised Liu Xie to withdraw the agreement. After all, the throne of the Han emperor belonged to the ancestors of the Han Dynasty. How could it be passed on privately?

Liu Xie's answer was extremely firm. It was because the throne of the Han emperor was passed down by the ancestors of the Han Dynasty that he had to pass the throne to Liu Wu in order to carry forward the foundation passed down by the ancestors.

This is not a private transaction...

da~
da~
da~
Liu Wu's footsteps echoed in the hall.

He entered the temple alone.

Ma Chao was standing at the entrance of the palace, and the leaders of various countries were also waiting outside the palace respectfully.

at last,

Liu Wu stopped.
He met many old friends, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Kong Ming, Jian Yong,
Yang Biao, who came out of the city thirty miles to meet him...

and also,

At this time, the emperor sitting on the dragon platform, his brother Liu Xie...

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to my royal brother."

Liu Wu bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have fought for many years, in countless battles, both large and small, and finally returned victorious."

"Now, the rulers of the Western Regions have returned to the capital to pay tribute, even though they have sunk to the bottom of the sea!"

On the high platform, on the dragon throne, listening to Liu Wu's words, Liu Xie's eyes were already red. He could not have imagined, he could not have imagined even if he was beaten to death, that he would still have this day? ! !
Liu Xie was stunned for a long time before he managed to calm himself down. Then he raised his hand and said, "Announce."

next moment,
"Announce, the Crown Prince of Wusun is here to see you!~"

Like Liu Yuan, the eldest son of the King of Wusun, who had Han blood, entered the Chengguang Hall.

"Send the message to the chieftain, the Kushan king!~"

The Kushan king, covered in dust and dirt, was brought up by Ma Chao.

"Prince Xuan Xiaowan is here to see you!~"

"The Lord of Xuanwei is here to see you!~"

"The Lord of Xuanwensu is here to see you!~"

"Announce, King Shache is here to see you!~"

"The ruler of Xuanpu State is here to see you!~"

"King Xuan Jingjue is here to see you!~"

"Announce the King of Shule to meet you!~"

"Announce the king of Shanshan to see you!~"
