Chapter 39 The Crown Ceremony of the Taimiao

On the fifteenth, Xu Du Nanzu Temple, but saw the Manchu Dynasty ministers lined up on both sides of the Taimiao Palace, the honor guard of the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven was responsible for protecting the Changshui military camp.

The guards escorted Liu Xie to the front of the temple, on the head of the chariot, it was Liu Xie, who was crowned with a black robe, and his hand was tightly holding the sword of the Son of Heaven at his waist, and before the temple, he saw Liu Xie carrying Queen Fu and the four concubines in the palace, and walked in slowly, the queen was on the right side of the Son of Heaven, and the four concubines were side by side, and then the important ministers slowly entered according to the official rank, except for the Son of Heaven hand-picked guards, the rest of the people were left outside the temple.

In the temple - the main hall is empty, the top is hung with black silk, the earth statue is the image of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie in accordance with the etiquette, leading the concubines and ministers to bow to the sky, began to recite the crown ceremony into writing, and then held incense to worship the ancestors.

At this time, in the sky outside the temple, it suddenly rained without warning, and this rain seemed to carry both some melancholy and some solemnity. Although it was drizzling, all the troops standing outside the temple were motionless, allowing the drizzle to slowly fall on the armor.

At this time, in the temple, the crown ceremony of the Son of Heaven was completed, Liu Xie bowed to the ancestors, and then slowly got up, turned his head and looked at the ministers below majestically, and the Manchu Dynasty ministers saw that the crown of the Son of Heaven was completed, and they all bowed down, and the mountain shouted 'Long live Your Majesty'.

I saw Liu Xie lightly glance at Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng immediately understood, and then strode forward, stood in the middle of the hall, and bowed loudly: "Minister Dong Cheng congratulates His Majesty on his crown and reign, and his prestige is added to the four seas, and in front of the spirit of Gaozu in the sky, please play a big event!" ”

At this time, Cao Ang, who was standing in the group of courtiers, looked at Dong Cheng quietly, and said secretly in his heart: "The show has begun." But seeing Liu Xie, he said lightly: "If Uncle Guo has anything, just play it." ”

"Obey the order!" Dong Cheng bowed and saluted, then suddenly turned around, pointed at Cao Cao, who was standing at the head of the ministers, and shouted: "In front of the ancestors, the ministers will go through Cao Cao's crimes of betraying the heavens today!" ”

As soon as the words fell, all the ministers in the hall were dumbfounded, and when they were young, they suddenly saw the Chinese book Ling Xun Yu trembling slightly and pointed at Dong Cheng and said: "Dong Cheng! You're crazy, Hugh is talking nonsense! ”

I only heard Dong Cheng snort coldly and shouted: "I'm talking nonsense? Hmph, Xun Yu, Cao Cao's traitorous heart, jackal's nature, corrupt loyalty, cholera dynasty! Acting against the Tao and abolishing the ancestral law is really a heinous crime! Everyone knows, but how can it be the words of my family! ”

Suddenly, the ministers in the temple were in chaos, and the sound of whispering resounded in the hall, only to see the prince's suit, Wu Shuo and other premeditated people, and suddenly shouted one after another: "Uncle Guo's words are reasonable!" "Cao Cao's thief who rebelled against the country, his crime cannot be punished!" "Dictatorship of thieves, heaven and man are angry!"

"You" Xun Yu pointed at the people who took advantage of the situation in the ministers with a panicked face, but when he saw Cao Cao stepping out, he raised his hand slightly to stop Xun Yu's words, and then looked at Dong Cheng lightly, and said softly: "Am I guilty?" Uncle Guo, in the past, it was difficult to pass the gates, if there was no one Cao, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to speak here today, right? ”

Dong Cheng sneered, and then glanced at Wu Shuo, the captain of Changshui, Wu Shuo understood, waved his hand slightly, and saw several people from the forbidden army on both sides of the hall walking out, guarding the main entrance of the hall tightly, so without the lives of Dong Cheng and Wu Shuo, it was difficult for anyone to take a step out of the Gaozu Palace.

"Dong Cheng! You can't rebel! Guards left and right, don't take down this thief yet! Xi was trembling with anger, but he saw Dong Cheng shouting loudly: "I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to eliminate the thief, who dares to act rashly!" I saw that all the guards next to the hall showed their weapons, and all the ministers were suddenly so frightened that they didn't dare to move.

I saw Dong Cheng bowing three times to the earth statue of Liu Bang in the middle and said: "Thanks to the manifestation of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, my Han Jiangshan will be saved today." Liu Xie on the altar stood in place, his face was grim and cold, looking at the bottom coldly, some shrewd people were suddenly in their hearts, could it be that this matter was ordered by His Majesty Dong Cheng?

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Liu Xie, who looked cold but obviously a little uneasy, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, today's matter, but your will?" Liu Xie wanted to admit it, but seeing the sad look in Cao Cao's eyes, for some reason, the words that came to his lips were not spoken.

Suddenly, Dong Cheng shouted: "Traitor! The Han family in the world, how can you be alone! Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has lasted 400 years, how can it be destroyed by your hands! You have disregarded the common people in the world, forcibly restructured, suppressed the scholars, appointed lowly and poor people, dismissed important ministers, formed a party for personal gain, and provoked the anger of the heavens and people. “

As he spoke, Dong Cheng shouted, and more than 100 armor soldiers with halberds and swords in the Changshui battalion surrounded the hall one by one, and many ministers began to realize that this seemed to be a premeditated action, but they did not dare to speak out because of the fear of force.

Xun Yu's eyes widened, and he said: "Dong Cheng, Lord Sikong is the pillar of the top beam of the court, and he has the great merit of saving and protecting the Han, if there is no Sikongda, how can the Han family be preserved so far?" What are you to dare to be so presumptuous! ”

"Pillars of the Pillars?" I saw Dong Cheng sneer, then took out the blood edict in his hair, and read aloud: "I have heard that the people are so big, father and son come first; The difference between respect and humility is important to monarchs and ministers. Recently, thieves have seized power and oppressed their father; Forming up the party and destroying the government; Reward and punishment are not up to me. I have been worrying all night, and I am afraid that the world will be in danger. Qing is the minister of the country, my closest relative, when I remember the difficulties of Emperor Gao's entrepreneurship, entangled the martyrs of both loyalty and righteousness, annihilated the traitorous party, and restored the society, the ancestors are very fortunate! Break your fingers and spill blood, write an edict to Fu Qing, and then be cautious, don't live up to your intentions! The edict of the fourth spring of Jian'an in April. ”

Wang Lang over there finally couldn't bear it anymore, and came out of the crowd and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!" This must be made up by you in the name of Your Majesty, since Lord Sikong welcomed His Majesty to move to Xudu, he has been benevolent to the people, the world is subordinate, all the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Quartet respects, and he is really a pillar of the minister. Dong Cheng, you disobedient thief, you dare to commit rebellion, frame loyal ministers with disobedience, reverse the black back, and confuse the public, it is simply a crime that cannot be punished, and the three clans are wiped out! ”

As soon as Wang Lang took the lead, a cadre of courtiers who supported Cao Cao stood up one after another, lined up in a row, and risked their lives to surround Cao Cao, and for a while it made Dong Cheng's soldiers difficult to do, Liu Xie stood on the high platform, and his heart was surprised and difficult to understand, the old thief has been in power for less than four years, and there is such a force in the court, if it is another four years, is the surname Liu or the surname Cao in this world?

Dong Cheng sneered, pointed at Cao Cao and said angrily: "Okay! Good! Am I a traitor? He's now a loyal servant, hello! Very good! ”

I saw Cao Cao turn his head and look at the guards around him, and suddenly sighed: "That's it, that's it, at this point, Cao has nothing to say, but I want to know, Cao Cao has been working hard for the Han family for several years, how many people can know my heart?" If you think that Cao does not deserve to die, please stand by Cao's side, and let Cao die in front of the Han family, and know how my Cao Cao is in the eyes of the world, and it can be regarded as a death. Then, I saw Cao Cao close his eyes and look upwards with his face, as if he had accepted his fate.

Dong Cheng sneered: "Old thief, you are dying, do you still want to behave?" Now that the old thief is dying, I am willing to follow me to punish the thief, please stand by Dong Cheng's side! ”

Dong Cheng shouted, and saw that the soldiers in the hall began to approach step by step, and the ministers all knew that the general trend had gone, and they couldn't help but think about it. First of all, Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo, Chong Ji and other premeditated ministers came to Dong Cheng's side with Dong Cheng and other premeditated ministers, and then other courtiers finally began to move towards Dong Cheng one by one, and the emperor's uncle Liu Bei Fang wanted to take action, and suddenly saw Jin Wu Jia Xu half-closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, standing not far from Cao Cao, he didn't hear Dong Cheng's words, and his heart suddenly woke up, and then he stopped his footsteps, and by the way, he pulled the tun cavalry captain next to him, and when he saw this, he frowned and looked at Liu Bei, but he saw the warning look in Liu Bei's eyes, When my heart moved, I also stopped.

Gradually, the 'position distribution' in the hall was finally completed, and about one-third of the ministers stood beside Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted at Cao Cao at the other end of the hall: "Traitor, what else do you have to say!" ”

But seeing that Cao Cao, who had been raising his head and closing his eyes, slowly lowered his head, turned to Dong Cheng's side, and suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of coldness, and a sneer slowly rose at the corner of his mouth.

I only heard Cao Cao's cold voice like frost sounding faintly in the hall, knocking on the hearts of everyone present: "So far, Cao has nothing to say, Yuan Rang, Miaocai, do it." ”
