[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition chapter 84

84 – Collaborator (7)

“General Jindong, Cao Cao requests an audience with Your Majesty.”

Hearing the civil servant’s words, the emperor adjusted his posture and sat down.

He began to look at the civil servants standing to his left and right, and the civil servants looked down and avoided their gaze for fear of making eye contact with the emperor.

Jerk, jerk.

A woman wearing the same official uniform as the other subjects entered the center of the royal palace.

Although she did not carry a sword, the court ministers held their breath at the cold aura she gave off.

“General Shin Jindong, Cao Cao, I deliver news of the victory to Your Majesty.”

“Have you defeated Yangbong and Hansom…?”

“Yes. Even though they serve His Majesty, they are people who want to become third or fourth companions based on that. Attacking the place where the Emperor resides is something that must be strictly dealt with.”

“…I understand. I understand what you mean. Congratulations on your victory, Prince Joe.”

“Yes. In that sense, I would like to make a request.”

come.

The emperor quietly closed his eyes and wondered what Cao Cao would say.

What if I ask for a higher official position?

What if a huge amount of gold is demanded from the penniless royal family?

What if he wants to become an in-law by asking him to marry one of his daughters?

“Please move the capital from Luoyang to another place.”

With such worries clouding my mind, Jo Jo’s words as he bowed were enough to further aggravate the confusion of the ministers.

“Here in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo destroyed too many things and left. So this place cannot be said to be good in terms of topography or facilities to block enemy attacks.”

“then…?”

“I dare to suggest moving the capital.”

Heavenly capital.

There is a record of the capital being forcibly moved by Dong Zhuo.

But moving the capital again?

“Where?”

“It’s a place called Heohyeon.”

Heo Hyeon.

The administrative district called ‘hyeon’ is a place of little significance. The emperor noticed his subjects’ concerns about Cao Cao’s proposal to move the capital to a place with no special features.

No one could criticize Jojo.

Everyone seemed to be groaning inwardly, but no one was there to oppose Cao Cao, who had defeated the armies of Yangbong and Hanseom who were trying to climb up the castle wall just an hour ago.

They were already moved by the military supplies that Cao Cao had provided.

I recognized the warmth of white rice and warm meat soup.

There was no way I could refuse Jojo’s offer.

“Heo Hyeon….”

From noble mtl dot com

“From now on, I will instruct you to build a palace for Your Majesty to live in. Until the Imperial Palace is built, Your Majesty will stay in Jinryu.”

“hmm….”

The emperor drew a map in his head.

Heo Hyeon.

It is right above the Jingju.

“Is the southern region, including Heohyeon… peaceful?”

“It’s peaceful.”

“I see. Are there people who can be said to be peaceful?”

The emperor nodded heavily.

“Do as the Lord wants.”

“I have nothing but sincere condolences, Your Majesty.”

Cao Cao claims relocation of the capital. He proposed Heohyeon, his base, as the new capital.

“Wow, I’m drunk.”

Samarang got drunk first and stretched out.

So, after handing Samarang over to his servants, I drank alone with the moon as my friend.

“It’s bad for your health if you drink like that.”

“Uiya!”

Sima Yi came to me.

Come on.

“…Master?”

“Uiya, do you remember what we talked about this morning?”

“It smells like alcohol.”

“hahahaha! Of course it’s because he drank alcohol! Hmm, Ui’s body smells like flowers.”

“…really.”

Sima Yi sighed and looked up at me.

“Tell me something. I’ll listen to your drinking.”

“Yes! hehehehe, I realized. I realized where to do the nibcheonja.”

“…where are you?”

“It’s Heo Hyeon!”

I hugged Sima Yi by the waist and lifted him up.

Then he picked her up and spun her around.

“Our land will become the capital!”

“……hehehe.”

Sima Yi’s eyes were curved like a crescent moon. Her eyes, reflected in the moonlight, were so intelligent and beautiful.

“hehehe, it’s a good thing I kept hold of Heohyeon instead of selling it. That’s right. Now all that’s left is to increase its value. hehehe, hehehe, hahahahaha!!”

“Do you like it that much?”

“It’s great! The higher the value of the land, the more it can be sold for a higher price.”

“Oh my, this is the city where the emperor is located. Are you going to sell it?”

“About half.”

I put down Sima Yi.

And then I drank again and quenched my thirst.

“Heohyeon will become a place where the emperor is worshiped. At the same time, numerous people will live there and let them feel the atmosphere of old Luoyang. The fields near Heohyeon will be turned and the land will be cultivated, and all supplies of Cao Cao’s army will depart from Heohyeon. .”

“Isn’t it geographically dangerous?”

“It must be dangerous.”

Heohyeon is connected to everywhere.

Luoyang, Jinryu, Wan, Shinya, Yeonam, Sopae… .

There were so many places you could see if you ran across the land and over the mountains.

It was not suitable as an important base city due to the high risk of being easily attacked during a war with another place, but the land itself was so large that it was sufficient for large-scale farming.

Assuming there is no battle, there is no place better for farming or better transportation than Heohyeon.

“hehehe, hehehehe. When I went to Heohyeon for a while, I met a convict who worked for Jojo County. Why, didn’t I tell you that I once had a drinking buddy?”

“Yes. You said it was Kwak Bong-hyo. We are the same age.”

“Yes! That’s what she said back then. Are you thinking of selling my land in Heohyeon? That’s impossible to say! Oh! I noticed it at that time. I thought this might be an opportunity.”

Land must be left fallow for a very long period of time before investment is made.

Just as the value of land may not increase even if left unused for five years, but can increase significantly after ten years, land must be invested with a long-term perspective.

purple.

My status as a person who bought Heohyeon land, which no one was interested in since the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Soon, the number of people who will come to Heohyeon to settle down in the land will increase, and I will make huge profits by maintaining Heohyeon.

I will sell half of the land to someone else, and I will keep half of the land and then decide based on the situation.

“Master. Do you like the land that much?”

“Yes. The land is really nice.”

“They say men are heaven and women are earth.”

“…….”

Suddenly, the alcohol left me.

Although Sima Yi spoke slyly, his words made me feel as if I had been hit with cold water.

“That’s not what you meant.”

“It’s not really wrong, is it?”

“Ha. Uiya. Do you know what land I’m talking about when you say something like that?”

“I know. hehehe, I’m glad you still like the land. I don’t think you’ve changed since I first saw you, Master.”

“That’s not it.”

I walked towards Sima Yi and grabbed her shoulder.

And then we made eye contact.

“I have changed. Thanks to you. Soinbae, who ran away out of fear for his life, became able to protect me by knowing that I had to protect him.”

There was a child who took care of a coward who ran away from Sun Jian’s attack out of fear that he would be killed for using a used book.

There was a student who made me realize that sometimes you have to step forward and risk your life.

“Uiya. You made me into a man, no, a man. You can be proud of it.”

“A man? Phew. If you are a real man, why don’t you act like one?”

Sima Yi raised his tiptoes.

“Alcohol… When you’re drunk, you don’t know anything.”

“…….”

alcohol.

I suddenly lost consciousness.

Did I drink too much? Or was it my instinct that told me I shouldn’t get any more drunk on Sima Yi’s words?

At the last moment, all that was visible was Sima Yi’s red lips.

“…….”

I lost consciousness.

dreaming

I am wandering around the world, wandering in the clouds above an island filled with white fog.

After passing through a towering mountain, past a hill that looked like a white snow field, and digging into the bottom of a lush green forest, the scent of flowers tickled my nose.

It’s ecstatic and thrilling.

I knew it was a dream, but an exhilarating sensation exploded throughout my body, as if my consciousness was about to fly away, and I opened my arms to welcome the storm of sensations.

Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

The golden dragon began to ascend towards the sky. The dragons each had numerous official hats on their heads and were fighting with each other, facing the sky.

Only one.

Everyone else had left, but the young dragon with particularly dark eyes was only looking at the sky.

-Aren’t you going?

I asked.

-Why don’t you go right now? Wouldn’t it be possible to reach that high place if we go quickly?

Hwangryong shook his head quietly.

In the sky, countless dragons were already fighting with their mouths wide open.

They scratch each other’s backs with their fingernails and sink their teeth into their collarbones, hurting each other.

But here, on earth, it is quiet.

It’s so quiet and calm.

The last remaining dragon grabbed me.

He began to raise his head towards the sky, grasping everything with both hands, as if he would never let me go.

Higher, higher.

Floating above the clouds, holding on to me so as not to let me fall, ascending towards the sky.

-Where are you going?

Where it’s going, the dragon doesn’t know.

We just go together.

It just flies towards the sky, to the highest point it can reach.

Kyaoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

The dragon roared.

The dragon grabbed me as if it were his own, as if he was enjoying his ascension to heaven with me.

I am Yeouiju of the Dragon.

When the golden dragon embraces me and flies into the sky, he will become the emperor of heaven.

The one who wins me will become the emperor of the continent who will conquer the world.

A true collaborator.
