Chapter 330: Liu Bei is proclaimed emperor
Spring is late, and the trees are blooming.
Although it is a little sluggish compared with previous years, the season has its own destiny, and there is always a destiny for prosperity and decline.
In March of the first year of Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, the 100-day mourning period of Liu Xie, the filial piety emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was "killed" by Cao Pi, had ended.
Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, and his ministers officially announced the elimination of the whole country after the last sacrifice.
The spring breeze is warm, all things are fragrant, a few trickling spring rains down, the Chengdu Plain has melted mud and swallows fly, and the sand is warm and the mandarin ducks are sleeping.
I don't know when it began, the county guards around the county have reported auspicious phenomena, such as Ba County has a red bird in the world, and for example, there is a yellow gas as high as several zhang in the direction of Pi County, and there are auspicious clouds in the scenery, and the clouds should come down from the moment.
There are also scholars from Shu who are poor and well-versed in the first place to write to the imperial court, saying: "Hetu", "Luoshu", and "Five Classics" record that "the emperor of Tiandu is the emperor, and he is invincible in order to hold the deed", "the nine marquis and seven heroes fight for the people's cooking remains, and the road is registered to carry the head, who makes the master come to Xuan", "the emperor is built and nine will be prepared" and other chapters and sentences.
Therefore, it is rumored inside and outside the land of Yizhou that there should be a holy lord here.
At home and abroad, anyone with some insight understands that the king of Hanzhong is building momentum for the succession to the throne.
It is no wonder that the king of Hanzhong has always regarded himself as a descendant of the Han family, and now the Han Emperor Liu Xie is "punished" by Cao Pi, and the Han family is usurped by Cao Wei.
Public opinion in the outside world is complicated, but Liu Bei, who is the person concerned, only glanced at it in a hurry and was noncommittal.
Just half a month after the scholars jointly signed the letter, the original Lang Yangquan Hou Liu Bao, Tsing Yi Hou Xiangju, the partial general Zhang Yi, Huang Quan, the great Sima Yin Chun, Yizhou Beijia engaged in Zhao Xun, Zhizhong engaged in Yang Hong, engaged in sacrificial wine He Zong, Yicao engaged in Du Qiong, persuaded to learn Zhang Shuang, Yin Mo, Qian Zhou, etc.
"The ministers heard the "River Map" and "Luo Shu", the Five Classics and the Weft, which were interpreted by Confucius and passed down to future generations. If a king who hears the holy and wise acts before the time of heaven, the mandate of heaven will not disobey his will, and if he acts after the time of heaven, he will obey the mandate of heaven and be in harmony with the gods. May the king obey the people in heaven, and soon take the throne, to Ninghai. ”
If this is said to be a vague reminder that the newspapers and scholars have been in the books before, then this joint letter can be regarded as the courtiers are persuading them to go to the Eight Classics!
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei angrily reprimanded the person who wrote the book for framing him as a fatherless and kingless person, and ordered that the matter should be stopped and not mentioned again.
Half a month later, Taifu Xu Jing, An Han General Mi Zhu, Military General Zhuge Liang, Taichang Lai Gong, Guangluxun Huang Zhu, Shaofu Wang Mou and others jointly played:
"Cao Pi usurped, annihilated the Han family, stole artifacts, robbed Zhongliang, and was ruthless. People and ghosts are angry and poisonous, and they think about Liu. There is no son of heaven today, the sea is panicked, and the admiration is slight. There are more than 800 people who write before and after the group, and they are called Fu Rui, and they are known as Ming Zheng. Huanglong saw Wuyang Chishui, and went on nine days. "Filial Piety and Aid to God" said: "Virtue to the Yuanquan will see the yellow dragon". The dragon is also the elephant of the king. "Yi" Qianjiu 5 "Flying Dragon in the Sky", the king ascended to the throne when the dragon ascended. Before Guan Yu surrounded Fan and Xiangyang, Xiangyang men Zhang Jia and Wang Xiu presented jade seals, and the seals dived into Han water, lying in the deep springs, the light of the candles was shining, and the light was full of light -
The husband of the Han Dynasty, the ancestor of the country of the world is also the name of the world, and the king attacked the trajectory of the first emperor, and also flourished in Hanzhong. Today, the jade seal of the divine light seer, the seal out of Xiangyang, the end of the Han River, the king of the Ming Dynasty inherited its inordinate class, and granted the king the position of the Son of Heaven. In the past, there was a mullet of Rui, and the salty was said to be resting. The second ancestor was instructed, and the "map" and "book" were written first, thinking that they were tested. Today, the heavens are auspicious, the Confucians are handsome, and the "River", "Luo", Confucius's prophecy, and Ji Xian are all there-
King Fu Wei came from the Xiaojing Emperor Zhongshan Jing Wang's Xuan, this branch of the hundred generations, Qianyi Zuo, the holy posture is huge, the gods are bowing, the benevolence is covered with virtue, the lover is good, and it is to return to the heart of the Quartet. Examination of the provincial "Lingtu", inspiring the prophecy, weft, the table of the gods, the name is notorious. It is advisable to be the emperor, to usurp the two ancestors, and the heirs of Shao Zhaomu, the world is very fortunate. The ministers and others would like to establish etiquette with Dr. Xu Ci and Lang Mengguang, choose Lingchen, and honor the title. ”
Liu Bei was shocked, bluntly said that he was not virtuous, and categorically refused, and then threw off his sleeves and returned to the Hanzhong Palace, and since then he has been closed for guests. Unable to live in the depths.
But the matter of persuasion is like an arrow on the string has to be sent, the ministers naturally do not follow, simply do not do, two endlessly, gather people to besiege the king of Hanzhong's dormitory for three days and three nights, crying and wailing, and begging the king of Hanzhong to come out and preside over the overall situation.
During this period, Zhuge Liang fell ill in bed because of excessive worry, and he couldn't afford to lie down.
In the face of the continuous persuasion of the ministers, Liu Bei finally nodded and agreed after repeated unsuccessful resignations-
Although the discerning people in the court know that the ascension of the king of Hanzhong to the throne as the emperor is the only way to continue the prosperity of the Han family, it is a targeted and imperative move. Even so, these three pushes and three concessions still have to be done enough, without him, Yu Zheng statistics, and fame.
He agreed at this point, and Yuan Cong's old faction, Jingzhou officials, Dongzhou people, and Yizhou people who were pro-Liu were all overjoyed and celebrated; Some of the pro-Cao Yizhou families have also been subdued by Liu Bei's iron fist recently, and they are also respectful and obedient.
The news spread to the people, and the people were even more excited, and the crowd was full of emotion!
Since Cao Cao's death, in terms of fame and authority, Liu Bei can be said to be the first person at that time! Only in this way can the Ming Jun of Demao tightly maintain the loyal ministers of the Han family; Only such a strong male lord is worthy of the title of Optimus Pillar of the Han Dynasty!
On the sixth day of the fourth month, Liu Bei led the civil and military officials of Yizhou to the south of Chengdu Wudan Mountain, received the emperor's seal, and ascended the throne! and composing a sacrifice to heaven and earth. In order to show respect for the filial piety emperor Liu Xiezhi, the text is still named in the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an.
The text says:
"However, on the afternoon of April in the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, the emperor dared to use Xuanmu to announce to the emperor that the gods of heaven and earth were the gods: Han has the world, and the history is boundless. Wang Mang usurped the thief, Emperor Guangwu was angry and punished, and Sheji was restored. Now Cao Cao hindered the army and forbeared, and after killing the master, he was monstrous and disregarded Tianxian. Cao Zipi, carrying its fierce rebellion, stealing artifacts. The ministers and soldiers thought that the society was degraded and abandoned, and it was appropriate to repair it, and the two ancestors of the heirs, Gong Xingtian punished. Prepare only for virtue, fear of the emperor's throne. Asked by the common people, and the barbarian monarch, he said, 'The mandate of heaven cannot be left unanswered, the ancestral industry cannot be replaced for a long time, and the four seas cannot be left without an owner'. Led by the soil style, in preparation for one person. Afraid of the fate of the heavens, and afraid that the Han Dynasty will be annihilated to the ground, carefully choose the first day, and Bailiao on the altar, by the emperor's seal. Cultivating burnt disease, suing the gods of heaven, but the gods are feasting on the Han family, and the four seas will be forever! ”
After the sacrifice is completed, the military ministers under the command and watch the people pay homage, the mountain shouts long live, the sound of the coax, the sky cracks the clouds, resounding through the valley.
After the ceremony, Liu Bei led the civil and military forces back to Chengdu, announced an amnesty for the world, officially changed the Yuan Zhangwu, placed hundreds of officials, and announced several major appointments on the spot:
worship Zhuge Liang as the prime minister, record the book, and fake festivals; Xu Jing is Situ; Liu Ba is still the book of Shangling; Ma Liang is the servant. These four people are the chiefs of the civil servants.
worship Ma Chao as a hussar general and a feudal marquis; Jin Zhang Fei was the general of the chariot cavalry, the captain of the commander, and the marquis of Xixiang; promoted Li Yan to the rank of general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty; Jin Wei Yan was the general of Zhenbei and the marquis of Tingdu; Zhao Yun was promoted to the middle guard, and these five people were called the respect of military generals.
The rest of the hundred officials, according to their historical merits, also have their own rewards.
For a while, the whole country celebrated, and the morale of the army and the people was magnificent, sweeping away the decline of Cao Wei's usurpation of the Han Dynasty.
