Chapter 112: Coronation Ceremony Divide the vassals

The second watch arrives at !!

On the morning of this day, all the envoys of the princes, wealthy businessmen, and wealthy families had entered Luoyang City, and the arrangements were made. The coronation ceremony was scheduled to begin promptly at noon.

Even Liu Xie didn't care about the identity of the Son of Heaven, because he was not relieved, he summoned Wang Yun and listened to him report on the matter. Wang Yun described in detail that all the princes and wealthy families came, and Liu Xie nodded happily, unhappy; Liu Xie has not received the gift of the princes of the world since he succeeded to the throne, although this kind of ritual was abandoned before Qin, but the princes from all walks of life have sent envoys, which is enough to show that the Han Yu Wei still exists. Tears flowed from the corners of Liu Xie's eyes, and he couldn't help but praise loudly: "Okay, good, I finally got through!" ”

Wang Yun is also full of emotion, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, almost no princes have come to worship the world, and now because of Liu Beizhi's coronation, the princes of the world have sent messengers, which is very different from before, Wang Yun also cried happily.

Until noon, Liu Bei and Liu Xie got on the dragon car and left the palace in a mighty way. After all, it was the emperor's uncle who was crowned king, and he must not be hasty, so Yang Biao and others decided to spare Luoyang first, and then go to the high platform to be crowned. The long dragon on the main road of Luoyang swayed back and forth, the sound of horses' hooves on the official road, the wheels and wheels, and the colorful flags swayed in the wind.

The people of Luoyang City followed the Son of Heaven and lived a hard life, and this time they finally came to the bitter end, and when they encountered such a lively scene, how could they not look at it; Therefore, the city of Luoyang and the nearby villages shook violently, and the crowds of people poured into Luoyang from all directions like rushing to the market.

Liu Bei, Liu Xie and others walked out of the palace gate, Wang Yun waved his hand at the band, and shouted in a loud voice: "The Son of Heaven and the emperor's uncle have arrived!" ”

The musicians played the music along with the music. Liu Bei was dressed in a custom-made royal robe, and Liu Xie was in the dragon car with Liu Xie, smiling and greeting everyone on the street, and the smiles on their faces showed the excitement and excitement in their hearts. Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and other generals under Liu Bei followed behind. Seeing the demeanor of the world-famous Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang, the people on the side were gossiping:

"Tut-tut, it's terrible, people have never seen such a pomp in their lives!"

"This kind of formation, it's time for the Son of Heaven to go out on patrol!"

"How can the Son of Heaven have such a scene? If there is no imperial uncle, how can the Son of Heaven have such a scenery? ”

"Who said it was the day? I'm talking about Gaozu, Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Wu, they are so courageous, I'm afraid that Gaozu was just like that back then. ”

"Tut-tut, I didn't expect that when the Han Dynasty was revived, Uncle Huang was really amazing!"

"Look, the generals behind are Zhao Xu and Guan Yu?"

"Exactly! If Uncle Huang didn't have these generals, he might not be able to have today, especially General Zhao Xu, who is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, both civil and military! ”

"Shhh, shut up, the Son of Heaven and the Imperial Uncle are here!"

……

Looking at this crowded and lively scene; Not only Liu Xie, but Liu Bei couldn't help but think of the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago, when he was ignored and looked down upon by other princes.

Before walking to the high platform, Liu Xie was dressed in a dragon robe and pulled Liu Bei's men to get out of the car. With a bright smile on his face, a clear-eyed person can know at a glance that Liu Xie is not ordinary happy.

In front of the highest platform, according to the rules, Wang Yun first called all the princes or envoys of the princes to bow to the Son of Heaven three times and nine times in turn, and made a great salute.

Look at the high platform, the top of the platform is eight feet high and eight feet, it is hexagonal, each side is six zhang, and the radius is just thirty-six zhang. In the center of the platform is a ridge. It is square in shape, eight feet eight inches on each side and eight feet eight inches deep. The scale is grand and majestic; This high platform was built by many people who took the initiative to help, and many people were grateful to Liu Bei and volunteered to help build the high platform, and many businessmen from Qingzhou also brought some required materials, so it didn't take much effort.

Under Liu Xie's shouting order, the flag hunted, and the trombone sounded.

Yang Biao's coronation oath ceremony began, Liu Xie took Liu Bei to the high platform, and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial court, Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and others followed behind; Each is listed on the left and right according to the distinction between civil and military.

Zheng Xuan, a great Confucian scholar, held the holy decree in his hand and shouted loudly on the high platform: "Dong Zhuo is pretending to be a chaotic order, and since then, the group of murderers is rampant and cruel to the sea. Relying on His Majesty's holy virtue, the people and ministers should respond together, or be loyal and righteous...... Emperor Uncle Liu Bei was appointed as a minister, a general, and the governor of the three armies, swept away the troubles, and restored the royal family...... and other merits, and Liu Bei was specially named the Great Sima, the king of Zhongxing——。 ”

After Zheng Xuan finished reading, the right prime minister Yang Biao walked up to the high platform, presented the special golden king seal with both hands, and the left prime minister Wang Yun presented the crown of the double dragon play pearl.

Emperor Liu Xie first took the Wang Yin from Yang Biao's hands, went to Liu Bei, and wept: "Uncle Huang, Wang Yinxi is here!" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly knelt down, put his hands on it, and said, "No, Liu Bei respectfully accepts the royal seal given by His Majesty." ”

When Liu Bei took over the seal, Liu Xie took the crown and put it on Liu Bei's head, and the luxurious crown was matched with Liu Bei's royal robe, which added to the style. Liu Bei wore the crown, held the golden seal in his hand and turned to face the south to face the audience, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded, on and off the stage, the flags were waving, thousands of heads were crowded, and the cries were thundering.

Two lines of tears rolled down Liu Bei's eyes silently and landed on the red carpet at his feet.

Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and other Liu Bei's subordinates, as well as Yang Biao, Wang Yun and other court ministers, knelt down in turn, and shouted: "Meet Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live long live, long live, long live; Meet the king of Zhongxing, may the king of Zhongxing be a thousand years old and a thousand years old. ”

Of course, there are also extremely unconvinced people, among which Cao Cao is most prominent, whether it is his life experience, start, etc., Cao Cao is all stronger than Liu Bei, but Liu Bei is one step ahead of him and is the king, Cao Cao is very unconvinced. He secretly said in his heart: "Weaver Xiaoer, dare to do this!" I swear to destroy you, and see who can achieve hegemony and dominate the world! ”

After the coronation ceremony was completed, it was natural that the ministers would be rewarded. First sealed the meritorious princes: Cao Cao rescued Liu Bei together when he was discussing Dong, and with various meritorious deeds, he was named the court lieutenant, ranked Jiuqing, and added the title of Marquis of Chenliu County; Ma Teng was brave and loyal, had meritorious service in saving the driver, and guarded the border, etc., and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, ranked Jiuqing, and was crowned as the Marquis of Wuwei; Sizhou assassin Shi Han Sui, promoted to Zhongshu Ling, and added the title of Marquis of Guannei; Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, you are the royal prince, you have meritorious service in governing Jingzhou, and you are also a prince as a liege!; There is also Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, who was too shou of Changsha Taishou, remembered his father's exploits, and named him the general of Zhenguo, the Marquis of Yonglie, and led the pastor of Yangzhou.

Then there is Liu Bei's subordinate martial arts, Zhao Xuping Qingzhou, broken Yuan Shao, Ding Xiongnu, etc., the merits are great, and they are the first among the civil and military forces; Then Zhao Xu was named the general of the fat cavalry, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, and a fake festival, and his status was only lower than that of the prime minister and the three dukes; Guan Yu has meritorious service in pacifying Xianbei, and is a general of the chariot cavalry, second only to Zhao Xu, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, and a false Jieyue, and his status is higher than Jiuqing and lower than Sangong. Feng Zhang Fei is the general of the Fu army, with a golden seal and a purple ribbon; Feng Zhaoyun was appointed as an auxiliary general. Feng Chen Zhi was the general of the Zhen Army, and Huang Zhong was the general of the auxiliary army; Zhang Liao is the general of Zhengdong, Zhang Jaw is the general of Zhengxi, Tai Shici is the general of Zhengbei, Gongsun Zan is the general of Zhengnan, Dian Wei is the general of Huwei, Zhang Yan is the general of Zhenbei, and Yu Ban is the general of Zhennan...... The rest of the generals are all rewarded.

Among them, Zhao Xu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Chen Zhi are known as the six tiger generals of Xinghan, and Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Zhang Jaw, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yan, and Yu Ban are collectively known as the Seven Biao Ride. It was really Liu Bei's remnant dragon ascending to heaven, Zhuge Liang Wolong coming out of the hole, Jia Xu and Xu Shu emerging at the beginning; Zhao Xu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Chen to the Six Tigers were fierce heroes, and Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Zhang Jaw, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yan, and Yu Ban Seven Hussars took the lead.

As for the civil officials, Liu Bei's subordinate officials all have rewards, and the law is a Shangshu order; Tian Feng is the Taifu, Zhuge Liang is the military advisor, Jia Xu is the military advisor, and Xu Shu is the military general, who is in charge of the military election and the decision of the criminal prison legal system. Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Wang Yong, etc., each proposed to be awarded a meritorious knight.

Liu Bei's subordinates were mainly composed of ten civil officials, each of whom was given three hundred taels of gold and silver and five colored satins. There are 13 military generals, each of whom is given 500 taels of gold and silver, and 8 taels of colored satin. Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and other six tiger generals, each gave 1,000 taels of gold and silver, ten brocade tables, a set of royal robes, and a famous horse.

In addition to Liu Bei's civil and military forces, Cao Cao's subordinates Xu Chu, Xiahou generals and Cao generals all had rewards, and Ma Teng's three sons Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Chao were successively named leading generals, army protection generals, and capital protection generals. As well as the leaders of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other ethnic groups, they were also rewarded.

When all the rewards were over, it was already early afternoon. Under Liu Xie's order, the banquet began, and the kabuki also came out to perform, and the civil, military, and wealthy families began to eat and have fun with the people. At Liu Bei's suggestion, hundreds of jars of imperial wine were also placed, and the people could come to drink, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, had a feast with the people in Luoyang City for the first time. The feast lasted for two days.

Liu Xie was happy, and he also gave amnesty to the world; Originally, the princes from all walks of life heard Liu Xie's holy decree, and in desperation, they had to let the offender go, and after the amnesty to the world, those prisoners knew that they were all because Liu Bei was crowned king, and they were also grateful to Liu Bei. Many people moved to the four states under Liu Bei's rule.

As a result, Yuan Shu and other princes lost the hearts of the people, and the loss was not only the population, but also the means of maintaining the war and the stability of the rear......
