Chapter Seventy-Seven: Ascending the Altar and Offering Sacrifices to the Heavens
(Recommended reading: "You~~You,~ bold and easy, dare to spy on the secrets of this palace, now that Your Majesty has performed the crown ceremony, he will personally manage the government and hold the power of life and death, aren't you afraid of being exterminated by the Nine Clans?"
Princess Haiyan's pretty face sank, her apricot eyes widened, and her body exuded a murderous aura, coupled with the innate royal majesty, it was really scary.
If it was an ordinary courtier, he would definitely be so frightened that he knelt on his knees at this time, kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Xiao Yi, his face remained unchanged, he took two steps forward, sat on the princess's bed, his eyes flashed with cold light, and a murderous aura that was ten or a hundred times thicker gushed out, no, it was no longer a simple murderous aura, but a dead aura!
People who have been stained with blood on their hands will slowly form a murderous aura on their bodies, the more blood they stain, the stronger the murderous aura will be, such as an executioner, a few feet away, it will make people feel that the pores of sweat are tight, and the back is cold, this is murderous, invisible, but real.
As for those who fought on the battlefield and crawled out of the pile of the dead, the murderous aura on his body was so strong that it chilled to the bones, and Xiao Yi was the best among them, since his debut with a skyrocketing fire, after countless bloody battles, the people who died directly in his hands were not a thousand, but also eight hundred, as for the indirect deaths, there were countless people, the corpse mountain and the river of blood, even the head of the 'Jingguan' He went to the base, that is the character who has really seen hell on earth, the momentum on the princess's body, how can he scare him!
The two pairs of eyes only looked at each other for a moment, and the princess was defeated, and the momentum on her body collapsed in an instant, her head was lowered, her mouth was pouted, her nose collapsed, and the corners of her eyes were wet, and she was replaced by a pitiful appearance of Lulu.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful, let alone play prestige, these little tricks are useless to me!" The murderous aura on Xiao Yi's body slowly dissipated, he was unwilling to bully a woman, but he would never be swayed by a woman, "As for the little emperor, even if he sacrifices to the sky and performs the crown ceremony, he can't control the military and political power, let alone kill me!" ”
"This is the world of the Han Dynasty, he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and everyone is his courtiers, including Cao Cao, including you, since ancient times, the monarch has been a minister~~ The king called the minister to die, and the minister had to ~~"
Princess Haiyan was very excited, like a little she-wolf guarding her cubs, she howled with her teeth and claws, but soon, her voice weakened, and she was weakly paralyzed on the bed, in fact, she understood everything, but she didn't want to admit it!
"That's right, he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the supreme in the world, but there is still an inch of land in the Han Dynasty in the whole world, and there is a soldier on the land for him to drive?"
If Xiao Yi's words are spread, it can be described as a 'great rebellion', but it also clarifies the truth of today, the Han Dynasty has long been divided by the princes, and the little emperor has nothing but an empty name.
"Why? …… Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You, and your Metropolitan Governor-Xiao Yi are all first-class Wang Zuozhicai, but you would rather help Cao Cao than assist the legitimate son of the Han family? Princess Haiyan looked unwilling, and asked the long-standing doubts in her heart, if these people are willing to serve the court loyally, the Han Dynasty will not have any hope of Zhongxing.
"Gold and silver treasures, high-ranking officials, the royal family can give it to you, if you like women, come on, this palace is no worse than that Cao Jie!" Saying that, the Han princess was lying on her back on the bed, her eyes slightly closed, her small mouth open, and she posed as a picker, which was extremely tempting!
"Hehe, beauty? You know I don't eat this set! Xiao Yi chuckled and shook his head, thinking in his heart, "yes, why?" ”
In terms of appearance, Cao Cao is short in stature, his appearance is not good, compared to Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce These handsome guys are far behind, and they are still at the bottom among the princes, but there are a large number of civil and military talents around him, loyal and driven, this is probably the legendary personality charm!
"Because the Prime Minister can give us a dream, a dream that the world will be peaceful, live and work in peace and contentment, and let the fire of Chinese civilization last forever!"
At this time, as soon as the Qibao incense car stopped, and the altar of heaven outside the city arrived, Xiao Yi stood up and glanced at the princess on the bed with great sympathy, "You are a qualified princess and a good sister, but unfortunately, you are not a good woman and a good wife!" ”
After that, he turned around and got out of the car, and did not hesitate for half a minute.

"My emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
Prime Minister Cao Cao had already led the civil and military officials to wait under the 'Temple of Heaven', and when they saw the emperor's car coming, they knelt down and saluted, and the sound of long live the mountain rose again.
"All Aiqing is exempt from courtesy!" The little emperor walked out of the Jingen car in high spirits, first looked up at the red sun in the sky, and then glanced at the black and oppressive crowd of kneeling worshippers, and then was supported by several attendants, got out of the car, stepped forward, and ascended to the altar!
The altar is made of rammed loess, twenty-four zhang in radius, divided into three layers, each layer is nine feet high, even the bluestone steps in the middle, there are twenty-eight star flags inserted in the periphery, respectively according to the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu momentum is arranged, the mighty to the extreme!
There are twenty-four gold-armored warriors standing on the altar, holding a big silk, a banner, a treasure cover, a halberd, a spear, a yellow Yue, a white man, a vermilion flag, a soap, known as the 'nine treasures', around the surroundings, in the middle position, there is a three-legged bronze giant tripod, which is carved with the pattern of Kyushu in the world, as well as flowers, birds, fish and insects and other colorful creatures, inside the giant tripod, has been paved with dry firewood, grease, just waiting for the little emperor to light the sacrifice to the sky!
The emperor was making the final ceremonial preparations before the sacrifice to the heavens, and the civil and military officials stood under the altar, and clearly formed two groups, on the one hand, the old ministers headed by Yang Biao, Sikong Wang Xi, these people were wearing brand new dresses, all smiling, and their chests were tall.
They are happy, with the spring breeze of the emperor's sacrifice to the sky and the crown ceremony, they can set off a political storm in the court, regain some of the power, and then encroach step by step, and finally regain the lost paradise.
On the other side, there are officials from the Prime Minister's Mansion headed by Cao Cao, most of these people are expressionless, just standing there quietly, occasionally a few generals show anger, but they all try to suppress it, the situation changes, who wins and who loses, not necessarily?
Xiao Yi was responsible for guarding the world, and after arranging the transfer of soldiers and horses, he was the last to come to the bottom of the altar, and everyone else was wearing the ceremonial clothes used to worship the heavens, but he was the only one who was dressed in a military uniform and held a sword, which looked extremely special.
After touching Cao Cao, who was standing at the head of the team, clenched his fists again, and made a gesture where everything was in his hands, Xiao Yi stood to the side with a sneer, waiting to watch the opening of this classic drama, "The original ancient festival of worshipping the heavens, you don't need to buy tickets, the location is good, don't look at it in vain!" ”
"The auspicious time has come, please the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to go up to the altar to worship the sky!"
Zhong Dafu - Kong Rong, high-crowned dress, holding a jade gui, completely dressed in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, served as the celebrant of the ceremony, he is the twentieth grandson of Confucius, in the Confucian scholars of the noble status, according to the agreement, he will preside over the crown ceremony to the little emperor, in order to show the Han family Son of Heaven respects the tradition of Confucianism.
"We are clothed in Chinese clothes, regulated by the ancestors of the law, to worship Haotian, pray for the prosperity of the country, the well-being of all people, social harmony, the great harmony of the world, and hope that the glory of our Chinese humanities for thousands of years will be raised in the ...... of all nations"
Under the altar, the drums were all famous, and the prayers specially used to worship the heavens were played, and a large group of palace maids swayed and danced, and the ministers faced the east, kneeling down and saluting in turn, in order to show their incomparable reverence for Emperor Hao!
"Sacrifice to the heavens!"
With the celebrant shouting again, a group of attendants immediately carried a large number of sacrifices such as three animal tributes, grains, jade, bronze, cloth ~~ and so on in front of Juding, so that the heavens could enjoy the offerings of the people of the world.
"Please light the fire, sacrifice to the sky, and perform the 'first offering' gift!" Kong Rong's voice trembled a little, I don't know if it was because he revered the heavens too much, or because he was excited about his important role in the ceremony.
The little emperor Liu Xie's face was also flushed with excitement, and the torch handed over by the attendant, he grabbed it three times in a row before he got it in his hand, and then walked tremblingly to the front of the giant ding, threw the torch in, and then the green smoke flashed, and the dry wood stained with grease suddenly burned, and the flames soared into the sky, and the fire was blazing~~
"Heaven bless, abundant grains, all people are happy!"
The little emperor faced the east, knelt three times and bowed nine times, reciting the sacrificial words used by the emperors of all dynasties, after the salute, Liu Xie did not get up immediately, but palmed his hand to the sky, and prayed silently again in his heart, "Heaven bless, let me sweep away the power and traitors, punish all the ministers, rejuvenate the Han, and recreate the peace of all generations~~~"
