Chapter 426: Preparing for the Emperor
Zhang Ming came out in a python robe, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's eyes were condensed.
Sun Shangxiang had stars in his eyes.
"Handsome."
This is Sun Shangxiang's evaluation of people.
Sun Shangxiang evaluates people, just by virtue of his eyes, he doesn't have to care about the identity of the other party at all.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu didn't feel too much surprise.
Zhang Ming's marquis was only the first step, and even they could predict that it might not be long before Zhang Ming became king.
Even, in the end, he will be the emperor.
However, many people can't accept it.
Many people are still old ideas, old ideas from the beginning of the Han Dynasty.
The marquis is a big deal, although this matter has the emperor's canonization, but Zhang Ming put on a python robe, which is too much.
Zhang Ming began to worship the heavens, and the ceremony began.
Chen Yang presided over it, he came in full accordance with the ancient law, and he used the specifications of the Son of Heaven to worship the sky.
The whole process is very tedious, one by one.
Zhang Ming was also very cooperative.
However, many people can't stand it anymore.
They are still old-fashioned, bound by traditional rituals.
Many people think that Zhang Ming is trespassing.
Not in accordance with the rules.
However, there were too many troops present, all of whom were Zhang Ming's people.
No one dares to make a mistake.
Zhang Ming killed a lot of people, and if he dared to mess around, he might have become a ghost under Zhang Ming's knife.
It took more than two hours to finish.
After the solemn ceremony, Zhang Ming invited some celebrities.
The crowd dispersed.
In the afternoon, rumors spread in all corners of the city.
"Have you heard, this Liao Marquis is going to be the emperor, and he sacrificed to the heavens completely in accordance with the etiquette of the Son of Heaven."
A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man gossip with a group of people.
A young farmer said, "What, Liaohou is not the Son of Heaven. ”
"That's right, Liaohou is not the Son of Heaven, I thought that this time, he was the Son of Heaven."
"When will the Marquis of Liao be called emperor? We're all so happy. ”
The people who spread rumors suddenly found that the style of painting was wrong, shouldn't they be very angry, shouldn't they condemn Zhang Ming together?
"No, you didn't understand, the Marquis of Liao wants to be the emperor, and he is wearing a python robe this time. I want to be the emperor. The man said anxiously.
He was ordered to spread rumors and make the people turn against Zhang Ming.
A group of peasants, at this time, still don't understand, they don't understand, why is Zhang Ming not the emperor?
"It's long overdue to be called emperor, we haven't had an emperor for too long."
"Yes, there has been no emperor in this world for decades."
"It's time for an emperor."
The man was dumbfounded, what is not the emperor, the emperor is in the south, Cao Cao.
These people, many people thought that the emperor had died a long time ago.
They didn't know who they were if they weren't dead.
There is no shadow of the emperor in their lives, and there is only Zhang Ming's grace.
They can often know from the newspapers and from the mouths of readers that it is Zhang Ming who has always covered them.
The emperor has been gone for many years.
Zhang Ming doesn't propagate the emperor, and he doesn't need justice to do anything, he always issues orders from his Protector General's Palace, in his own name.
Therefore, here they did not know that there was an emperor, thinking that the emperor had died a long time ago.
Zhang Ming also publicized the death of Emperor Ling of Han and Liu Wei.
And it is that the existence of Liu Xie has not been promoted.
Even, Liu Xie named him the Marquis of Liao, but Zhang Ming did not publicize it, but called himself the Marquis of Liao, and no one directly canonized him.
This rumor is doomed to be useless.
Many people spread rumors in many corners.
But it only resonated with a small number of readers.
"We should jointly write a letter to crusade against Zhang Ming."
"Yes, the surname Liu in this world is Liu, and he Zhang Ming actually has the heart to be the emperor."
"We should bring your majesty here."
"Let's go to Xudu and ask Your Majesty to go north."
A group of people who read books do not have the slightest ability to act, and their ideas are even more ridiculous.
Of course, they didn't dare to get up at this time to make Zhang Ming's rebellion.
Some of them failed to pass the imperial examination here several times, and they were very resentful of Zhang Ming.
However, most of the scholars in Youzhou were trained by Zhang Ming since childhood, and even if Zhang Ming became the emperor, they would definitely support it.
Therefore, the dry tongue of these few people is useless at all.
Rumors continue to spread.
But the style of painting is not right at all, and there are no people who have risen up at all.
They thought that as long as they instigated public anger, they could make Zhang Ming very troublesome.
However, it seems that the wind and waves are calm.
Rumors continued to spread, and soon they went viral.
At this time, it is not the spies of the enemy who spread, but the people themselves.
"Liaohou is the one who wants the Son of Heaven."
"Great, we haven't had an emperor for decades, and there will be an emperor in the future."
"The Marquis of Liao is not the emperor, who is the emperor."
"Ah, hasn't Master Zhang always been the emperor?"
"When will we be called emperors, our village will have a big feast."
"Liaohou is our benefactor."
This style of painting makes people with a heart completely dumbfounded.
It's the exact opposite of what they think.
At night, Zhang Ming had already changed into his usual clothes.
He was talking to Tian Feng in the Protector General's Mansion.
At this time, Liu Daneng came to report.
Zhang Ming handed over some intelligence work to him.
Originally, this was a matter of Xi Zhicai, and Liu Daneng couldn't even know all the words.
However, in intelligence work, loyalty is greater than talent.
Zhang Ming also asked him to analyze a lot, and let him report everything he knew to himself.
"My lord..."
"Tian Daren is not an outsider, he will say whatever he knows."
"My lord, there are indeed people who are spreading rumors in the city, and I will not deal with them according to your orders."
"Well, what's the reaction of the people?"
In advance, Zhang Ming already knew, but he didn't think about doing it.
Liu Daneng said: "My lord, the people now know that you are going to be the emperor, spread it widely, menacing, no one knows, no one knows, if it goes on like this, there will be endless harm, please send troops to arrest all those who spread rumors." ”
Liu Daneng said a lot.
Zhang Ming laughed.
"Fuck off, don't mess around."
"Lord, my subordinates have retired first." Tian Feng also got up and left.
Zhang Ming sat alone in the study, these rumors were released by the enemy, but Zhang Ming knew in advance.
"Sure enough, in the future, I will be the emperor, and it is logical that the people will not object."
Zhang Ming is using the enemy's mouth to test, test public opinion, and see how the people react.
The people didn't have any opinion on him being the emperor, so Zhang Ming was not polite.
Of course, the family and the old-school scholars were very much against it.
They also respect the Han as orthodox.
Zhang Ming wants to be the emperor, just like Yuan Shu back then, and should be spurned by the people of the world.
Zhang Ming will not deal with this part of the people.
"When I reach the edge of the Yangtze River, I should be king."
Feng Junhou, and then called the king, step by step, to prepare for the final emperor.
Since there will not be much problem in public opinion, what impact can other people's opposition have on Zhang Ming.
Now, Zhang Ming can't give anything to his subordinates, and the marquis still has to be approved by Cao Cao, and he will be the emperor in the future, and the honor should not be given at all.
