Chapter 399
Seeing that everyone agreed with his proposal, Wang Yun's face blossomed with smiles.
He immediately nodded with satisfaction to the hundred officials and said quite excitedly:
"Since none of the colleagues have any objections, let us arrange for people to extensively publicize the news of this great victory."
"Since His Majesty is not here, let us first use the official seal of the Luoyang Magistrate for the signature."
"Grand Tutor, Grand Marshal, Wenruo, do you think this idea of this old man is feasible?"
Considering that the documents issued by the imperial court needed to be stamped with Liu Bian's Imperial Jade Seal, and Liu Bian was not in the capital at this time, Wang Yun immediately thought of using the seals of local government offices.
Xun Yu and the other two, upon hearing Wang Yun's words, all lowered their heads and pondered.
This was a major matter concerning the face of the imperial court and could not tolerate the slightest carelessness.
After the three pondered for a while and looked at each other, Grand Tutor Yuan Kui was the first to speak.
"This old man feels it is inappropriate. This matter is of great importance; such things should wait until His Majesty returns before deciding."
"We only need to send people to spread the news!"
Yuan Kui was worthy of being a person long experienced in officialdom; his words were completely flawless.
"The Grand Tutor is absolutely right. We only need to spread the news; as for whether it is true or false, that is a matter for the warlords to worry about."
Yang Bu also echoed Yuan Kui at this time; clearly, he did not quite agree with Wang Yun's approach.
"Master of Ceremonies, Lord Yuan and Lord Yang are absolutely right. We only need to spread the news."
"Our goal is just to make the commoners of the world believe it; as for those warlords, they will send people to confirm it."
"Therefore, I also agree with the views of Lord Yuan and Lord Yang."
At this time, Xun Yu also explained his thoughts to Wang Yun; he also did not quite agree with Wang Yun's approach.
"It was this old man who did not consider it thoroughly; what you all say is reasonable. Since that is the case, let us send people to spread it."
After hearing the words of Xun Yu and the other three, Wang Yun also felt that he had not considered it thoroughly and followed their suggestions.
Subsequently, after the few reached a unified opinion, Wang Yun said to the hundred officials:
"After you all return, use your connections to spread the news as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing this, everyone had no objections and immediately nodded to Wang Yun.
"What the Master of Ceremonies says is very true; it should be so!"
Subsequently, everyone left the court assembly hall in groups of three or five, and those walking on the road were still talking about what happened today.
It is estimated that this victory would take a long time for everyone to stop talking about it.
Following their departure, not long after, this victory would sweep across all parts of the Great Han like a storm.
At this time, in the Changqiu Palace where Empress Dowager He Lian lived in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Empress Dowager He Lian and Diao Chan were sitting together, not knowing what they were chatting about.
However, from the longing and worry that flashed inadvertently between their brows, it was not hard to see that the two should be chatting about matters related to Liu Bian.
Just as the two were conversing, a palace maid ran in anxiously from outside the palace and said to them, panting:
"Empress Dowager, Consort, the eunuchs from the court assembly hall just said that His Majesty has won a great victory and will return to the capital in a few days!"
Upon hearing this, the two women stood up anxiously. Diao Chan hurriedly stepped forward to grab the palace maid's hand and asked anxiously:
"Lan'er, is what you said true? Has His Majesty really won a great victory and is about to return to the capital?"
After speaking, she looked at Lan'er with an eager face, her moving eyes revealing a trace of anticipation.
The palace maid Lan'er, seeing Diao Chan's anxious expression, hurriedly said to Diao Chan:
"Replying to the Consort, these were all spread from the mouths of the eunuchs in the court assembly hall; it should be true. After all, they would not dare to spread false news randomly in the palace!"
After hearing Lan'er's reply, Diao Chan also felt it made sense.
She let go of Lan'er's hand, walked quickly to Empress Dowager He Lian's side, took her hand, and said happily:
"Mother, His Majesty has won, and he is about to return to the capital!"
At this time, He Lian was also full of joy. Looking at the excited Diao Chan, she could not help but smile and say:
"Yes! Bian'er has won, he really did it!"
"Wuwuwu..."
As she spoke, Empress Dowager He Lian could not help but sob softly.
Seeing the Empress Dowager in such a state, Diao Chan could not help but panic a little and hurriedly comforted her:
"Mother, this is a great thing! Why are you crying!"
Seeing Diao Chan begin to comfort her, He Lian held back the tears in her eyes.
"Mother is not crying, Mother is happy. The burden of this Great Han is truly too heavy for Bian'er!"
"Fortunately, Bian'er has the protection of Heaven; otherwise, Mother really would not know what to do!"
Ever since Liu Hong passed away, the entire Great Han Empire had fallen into chaos.
This vast and corrupt country was like a crumbling building, likely to collapse at any time.
Under such a situation, the young Liu Bian was pushed into this position.
However, he faced numerous difficulties and challenges.
First, the internal strife between General He Jin and the Ten Attendants caused the imperial court to fall into turmoil;
Then, Dong Zhuo led his army into the capital, grasped the actual power of the government, and wantonly disrupted the court order.
At that time, He Lian and Liu Bian, mother and son, were once forced to become puppets in Dong Zhuo's hands.
Even Liu Bian himself was almost forced to abdicate, but fortunately, it did not succeed in the end.
Facing such a difficult situation, Liu Bian relied on his tenacious will and extraordinary wisdom to gradually rise and turn the situation around.
Relying on his own strength, he forcefully killed Dong Zhuo and regained the ruling power of the Great Han Empire.
Walking along this path, He Lian knew the hardship and difficulty involved.
If it were not for Liu Bian cultivating the Martial Dao and possessing powerful strength, I am afraid that mother and son would have already died.
Now, Liu Bian dispatched two armies to attack Liangzhou and Bingzhou simultaneously and achieved a brilliant victory.
This allowed the grievances and pain that He Lian had suppressed for many years to finally be released.
Looking at He Lian's appearance, the clever Diao Chan could also roughly guess.
Now, letting He Lian release it properly was the best thing.
"Mother, it's all in the past. From now on, under His Majesty's leadership, the Great Han will definitely be better."
"From now on, no one will ever dare to bully us again!"
Diao Chan stepped forward, held He Lian in her arms, and comforted her incessantly.
After a good while, He Lian finally calmed her emotions.
She got up from Diao Chan's arms, took the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid Lan'er, wiped her face, and said softly to Diao Chan:
"Chan'er is right, these are all in the past!"
"Mother was just too happy for a moment; it made you laugh, Chan'er!"
"On this great day, we should all be happy!"
"Mother is right, we should all be happy!"
Seeing that He Lian was finally better, Diao Chan also said happily.
