Chapter 532: I am the Son of Heaven
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu's title to emperor can be said to be in a hurry or not in a hurry.
It is said that Liu Xiu was in a hurry to become emperor because there were only five days from the day he said in public that he was about to become emperor to the day he actually became emperor.
In such a short period of time, there are too many aspects to prepare, so the preparations for the emperor ceremony must be very intense and hasty.
said that Liu Xiu's title to emperor was not in a hurry because his preparations in the early stage were too sufficient.
Liu Xiu was in Hebei, first killed Wang Lang, who was called the emperor, and established his prestige, prestige and status in Hebei, and then he killed Youzhou Mu and Jizhou Mu sent by Liu Xuan, so that he firmly controlled Youzhou and Jizhou.
This laid a solid foundation for his power in Hebei. Liu Xiu led the army to conquer the east and west, continuously exterminated the rebel armies in Hebei, pacified the Quartet, restored the people's livelihood, and revitalized all industries, which won Liu Xiu a very high popular heart.
The foundation is there, the strength is there, the people's will is also there, the three major aspects of time, location, and people, Liu Xiuquan has taken possession, it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
And Liu Xuan and the green forest army turned their faces, which just gave Liu Xiu the style that he needed the most.
It was only at this time that Liu Xiu seized the opportunity and chose to be the emperor, can it be said that he was not fully prepared?
Liu Xiu's appetite has always been very big, and he wants to put all the actual power and false reputation in his pocket.
His waiting, his patience, finally allowed him to win a full bowl at one time. Liu Xiu is not an opportunist, but in the matter of becoming emperor, Liu Xiu did choose to be an opportunist.
The news that Liu Xiu was about to proclaim himself emperor in the Qianqiu Pavilion in Shancheng soon spread in the Han army barracks, and then the news spread out of the barracks and into the city of Shancheng.
The people of Shancheng are all full of lights, and people's faces are full of joy.
First, Liu Xiu's reputation in Hebei is indeed high, and he is very admired and loved by the people.
In addition, and the most important point, the people of Shancheng can get real benefits, and they can enjoy the preferential policies of tax reduction and exemption for many years in the future, how can people not be happy?
Many of the people of Shancheng who learned of this incident spontaneously went out of the city and came to the Han army camp, sending everything, those who had food sent grain, and those who had no food and no money and strength helped chop firewood and send firewood.
For a time, the soldiers of the Han army were overwhelmed, and the things sent by the people were collected batch after batch.
The big families in Shancheng will naturally not be idle, and the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep in the villages and towns around Shancheng are basically bought by them, and then they are driven into the Han army camp in batches. If the Son of Heaven ascends the throne, the sacrificial ceremony can be used to send pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, that is the glory of the ancestors, it is worth showing off for a lifetime, not to mention
, Shancheng finally became a son of heaven, how could they miss this convenient condition, naturally seize the opportunity, redouble their favor, and show their loyalty.
Pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, grain, cloth, utensils, firewood, and other miscellaneous things almost filled the Han army camp.
When Liu Xiu was patrolling the camp, he saw a circle of pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, and piles of firewood like mountains, he laughed and asked Zhu You beside him: "Ayou, in the past two days, our army's revenue has inevitably received too many things, right?" ”
Zhu You shook his head helplessly, raised his finger, and said, "That's all for today, and there will be more of them tomorrow." It is said that many large families in Shancheng have sent people to the Yuan family and Zhending to buy livestock, gold and silver utensils. ”
Liu Xiu frowned, and said: "Don't accept the things sent by the people in the future, it's not my intention to work so hard and hurt money." ”
Zhu You said solemnly: "If the king accepts the people's things, the people will rejoice, if the king does not accept them, it will make the people sad and sad, thinking that the king does not look down on the congratulatory gifts they sent." ”
Liu Xiu sighed lightly and said, "If I knew this, I would not have set it in five days, but in three days or two days." ”
"In five days, it is still difficult to build an altar, and if it is two or three days, the soldiers may not even be able to build an altar." Zhu You reminded.
Liu Xiu said a word, Zhu You said a sentence on the side, Liu Xiu looked him up and down, and said, "Ayou, you look very excited today!" ”
Zhu You said with a smile: "The king is about to be crowned emperor, and you are honored, so you are naturally happy in your heart!" ”
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Then how about making you a happy marquis?" ”
When Zhu You heard this, his smile immediately froze, waved his hand again and again, and said with a bitter face: "Don't, don't!" Throughout the ages, how can anyone be named a happy marquis, don't make fun of me! ”
Seeing his deflated face, Liu Xiu laughed. There are many interesting things between Liu Xiu and Zhu You.
When I was in Taixue, a minister visited Tai College and said a word to Liu Xiu, which made Liu Xiu proud, and deliberately showed Zhu You, people looked at me, but they didn't look at you. In terms of family conditions, Zhu You's family is richer than Liu Xiu's family, during the Taixue period, Liu Xiu was sick and had no money for treatment, it was Zhu You who took the money to treat him, in private, Liu Xiu often talked about this matter, and said to Zhu You, now I am richer than you
Yes!
In non-public occasions, Liu Xiu, like most ordinary young people, giggles and farts funny, making inappropriate jokes and saying a few inappropriate words from time to time.
Twenty-five years, June twenty-two. Finally came the day of Liu Xiu's enthronement ceremony.
Qianqiu Pavilion has erected a high platform of seven or eight meters high. There is a sacrificial platform below the high platform, and there is also a sacrificial platform above the high platform.
The surroundings of the high platform are full of Han army soldiers, and as far as the eye can see, there is a sea of people who are pressed by the black, and there is no boundary.
With the sound of the whining horn, dozens of burly Han soldiers holding torches high, with their waists straight, lit the firewood around the high platform, which was to burn firewood to worship the sky.
The priests slaughtered cattle and sheep, which was a sacrifice to the gods.
After the ceremony of worshipping the gods, Liu Xiu, who was wearing a crown robe, walked up to the high platform step by step.
At that time, there was no such thing as a dragon robe, and it was all called a crown robe.
The crown is not yellow, but red at the top and red at the bottom. Black top, red bottom, black represents Wende, red represents martial virtue. On Liu Xiu's head, he wore a jade crown of twelve.
Because the front and back of the crown of the Son of Heaven are hung with twelve strings of jade beads, it is called the twelve crowns. On both sides of the crown, a ribbon hangs down and is tied to Liu Xiu's chin.
The part where the ribbon is close to the ear, there is a jade bead hanging on both sides, which does not block the ear hole, but hangs next to the ear, which is to remind the Son of Heaven not to listen to the slander of traitorous ministers, and the idiom 'deaf ears' comes from this.
Liu Xiu's waist was tied with a red belt, and a yellow rope was tied to it, and the yellow rope was tied with the seal of the Son of Heaven.
Further down, on the outside of the red tunic are two long red bands, which are the knees of the crown robe, and on the feet are a pair of red shoes called the red (xi).
Liu Xiu's style of the Son of Heaven is very elegant, and it is completely made in accordance with the Chinese law.
He followed the steps to the top of the platform.
Standing here, looking around, there are all people below. What is the Son of Heaven? The Son of Heaven can look down on all beings, but all beings can only look up to Him. Standing on this high platform is the most intuitive interpretation of the Son of Heaven.
When Liu Xuan was called emperor, he was so frightened that he trembled, but now that Liu Xiu is called emperor, he is not afraid in his heart, but he feels a lot.
Back then, he was just a country boy who followed his eldest brother to rebel, so poor that he didn't even have a war horse, and could only ride a bull to go into battle, not to mention others, even he didn't expect that he would be able to sit on the throne one day.
Along the way, he has lost too many relatives and received too much help, with some losses and gains, and some ups and downs. Thinking of this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but feel bored in his heart.
He fell to his knees.
As Liu Xiu knelt down, the soldiers below also knelt down. Pieces of phalanx, people are kneeling on the ground in unison, the scene is spectacular, exciting. Liu Xiu bowed forward, one bowed to heaven and earth, then bowed forward, two bowed to the gods of the six sects, then bowed forward, and three bowed to the ancestors of the past dynasties. After worshipping heaven and earth, gods, and ancestors, Liu Xiu slowly stood up, turned around, walked to the edge of the high platform, and looked
There was no boundary crowd below, he raised his head and said loudly: "Emperor God, Houtu God, favor and surrender, belong to Xiu Liyuan, be a parent, Xiu dare not be."
"The group of hundreds of people, do not agree with the same words, Xian said: 'Wang Mang usurped the throne, Xiufa was angry and raised the army, broke Wang Xun, Wang Yi in Kunyang, Zhu Wang Lang, and Tongma in Hebei, pacified the world, and the sea was graced. The heart of heaven and earth is the heart of heaven and earth, and the bottom is the return of Yuan Yuan. ’
"The prophecy said: 'Liu Xiufa can't be arrested, and Mao Jin Xiude is the Son of Heaven.'" Show is still stubborn, as for again, as for three. The group said: 'The emperor's destiny cannot be kept. 'Dare not admit it. ”
Liu Xiu's article on the emperor's celebration is no different from most of the emperor's blessings, basically the same way.
The first is to praise his exploits, such as defeating Wang Xun and Wang Yi in the Battle of Kunyang, killing Wang Lang in Hebei, subduing the bronze horse, and so on.
Later, he mentioned the proverb in the "Red Fu Fu", indicating that the destiny of heaven is on his side.
In the end, he was fake modest, saying that he had repeatedly and repeatedly shirked, but the mandate of heaven could not be violated, and I really had no choice but to comply with the mandate of heaven, so I had to call the emperor the throne.
At this point, Liu Xiu was officially proclaimed emperor in the Qianqiu Pavilion in Shancheng and ascended to the throne of the emperor. The country name is 'Han', and Jianyuan is Jianwu. Therefore, the twenty-fifth year of A.D. is also known as the first year of Jianwu. The vigorous Eastern Han Dynasty was established.
The Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty both took Han as their country name, and their watershed was the fifteen years of Wang Mang's usurpation.
The reason why the Western Han Dynasty is called the Western Han Dynasty is because the capital of the Western Han Dynasty is Chang'an, and Chang'an is located in the west, so it is called the Western Han Dynasty. In Liu Xiu's Eastern Han Dynasty, the capital of the country was Luoyang, and Luoyang was in the east, so it was called the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Liu Xiu, a country boy from Chungling, Nanyang, a farmer who is a master farmer but not very responsible, finally completed the biggest counterattack in his life. Liu Xiu has had several big counterattacks in her life, and marrying Yin Lihua is one time.
He was able to marry Yin Lihua, to put it bluntly, this is a counterattack by a poor dick to Bai Fumei.
He married Guo Shengtong, in fact, it was similar, he was a white wolf with empty gloves, he married Guo Shengtong, and he won 100,000 Zhending Army.
Liu Xiu's road to becoming an emperor, of course, has an element of luck, but it also has a reflection of his super high IQ and emotional intelligence, and in addition, many people have helped him intentionally or unintentionally.
In fact, on the road of Emperor Liu Xiu, the biggest obstacle is not his enemies, but his eldest brother Liu Xuan. As long as Liu Xiu is still there, the throne will never fall to Liu Xiu's head, and it will always be Liu Xiu's.
But Liu Xuan and the people from the Green Forest Department murdered Liu Xiu, which invisibly helped Liu Xiu and flattened the biggest obstacle and stumbling block on his way to becoming emperor. During Liu Xiu's time in Hebei, Liu Xuan was his enemy, and the Red Eyebrow Army was also his enemy, but Liu Xuan's attention was attracted by the Red Eyebrow Army, and the Red Eyebrow Army became Liu Xiu's shield, and on the other hand, the attention of the Red Eyebrow Army was Liu of Chang'an
Xuan attracted away, and Liu Xuan became Liu Xiu's shield again.
Between Liu Xuan and the Red Eyebrow Army, the fight was bloody and inseparable, which just gave Liu Xiu a God-given opportunity to continue to expand in Hebei.
And Liu Xuan and the people of the Green Forest Department turned their faces, which directly gave Liu Xiu the opportunity to become the emperor. (End of volume)
