Destiny of crossing

The fire at the west entrance of the Jiuqu Grand Canyon burned for a day and a night before it was extinguished. The two generals Huan Yi and Zhu Xu suffered from sword wounds and bruises, and led the rest of the soldiers to retreat at the east entrance of the canyon in embarrassment and exhaustion. That is, the entrance to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

This time the [-] soldiers and horses, excluding the [-] that Xie Lang brought, lost more than half of them. It can be said that the casualties were heavy. Now those who survived were all injured to varying degrees. Moreover, after this narrow escape, the soldiers were all devastated. Huan Yi Waiting had to be stationed on the spot, and healed the wounded soldiers first.

Xie Xuan's Beifu army had no worries, rectified their troops, marched quickly, and soon joined up with the first Xunyang County Lord and the others.

Because Xie Xuan had ambushed people on the pipeline in advance, so that all the people Sima Yao sent to inform the counties to stop Xie Xuan and the others from leaving the customs all died halfway, so every time they passed through a city gate, the generals stationed at the city gate did not become suspicious, and they were very transparent. release.

Therefore, they walked unimpeded along the way.

After about half a month, they finally came to Sichuan and went straight to Chengdu. The local generals and prefects warmly welcomed them and arranged board and lodging.

But what made people dumbfounded was that Xie Xuan led people to directly occupy the prefect's mansion, captured the garrison general, and grandiosely turned this luxurious prefect's mansion, the former Shu kingdom's imperial palace, into his own mansion.

Pei Ran not only teased: "How did I not know that Xuan was so thick-skinned before? The robber acted confidently, without changing his face, tsk tsk, he really knows people, knows his face, but doesn't know his heart!"

Laughter turned everyone present.

In November 383 A.D., Xie Xuan established a new policy in Chengdu. The country was named Shu, and the generals elected him king.

Pei Ran's performance in the Battle of Feishui and the wisdom and calmness shown in the previous fight against the pursuers all convinced the soldiers. Finally, after everyone's discussion, Xie Xuan and Pei Ran were jointly proclaimed emperor, posthumous The name Xuan Ran is the second emperor.

One country with two emperors is unprecedented in history. Although it is out of tradition, everyone supports it.

On the day of the founding ceremony, Xie Xuan and Pei Ran were wearing dragon robes and crowns, sitting side by side, condescending, with the demeanor of an emperor.

In the treasure hall, there are many soldiers in armor, densely packed and very lively, and the Manchu Dynasty has only military and no literature, which is also a great spectacle.

At the time of the founding of the country, the laws of the New Deal must go first.

First of all, abolish the extravagance and corruption of officials, ministers, and emperors, and keep everything simple. From it, it is manifested as the prohibition of big actions, the prohibition of inhumane castration, and the prohibition of retaining eunuchs. Only four court ladies can be retained by the emperor.

In terms of people's livelihood, the so-called rich country must first enrich the people, open schools, popularize education, open up wasteland and farmland, encourage farming, raise silkworms and weave, and develop economics and trade.

Regarding the law, it overthrew the previous law that only protected the interests of officials and nobles. Everyone is equal, and the common people have the right to monitor and report the behavior of officials. Furthermore, all torture is abolished.

In addition, talented and virtuous people are widely recruited to serve as officials in the court.

When the laws of the New Deal were promulgated, the whole country of Shu was in a state of ebullition, and the people cheered and supported the New Deal.

With the founding of the New Kingdom, there were many major and minor issues, and Pei Ran and Xie Xuan were very busy all of a sudden.

Xie Xuan was in a hurry to strengthen the national defense, relying on the advantage of the territory's dangerous terrain to set up gates and arrays.

Pei Ran was unable to participate in some things due to her foot injury, so she lay on the bed with a small table in front of her, studying and writing laws and strategies, and pondered them one by one. She lived a comfortable life, but when she was alone, her mind often wandered, and her thoughts drifted to other places. unknown distance.

free, isn't it?

But why is there still no place for a heart?

Are you missing someone, or are you complaining about something?

If not, why are your eyes so distant and sad?

Xie Xuan stood outside the door, looking at Pei Ran's profile dimly through the purple gauze for a long time.
