Chapter 768: The Crown (Part II)
The lazy sunshine of early spring extends the whole city, a large number of people walk in this city earlier than in the past in this morning, gather around in the streets, after the New Year's pass, the news about the Son of Heaven Zen King Jin has spread, the Central Plains states and counties, and even the countryside have rumors, conditional as early as after the end of the year, rush to Xu Du to join in the fun, so that in early February, the city is overcrowded, even the suburbs of the rest shop are difficult to determine the vacancy.
At the same time, Xuchang's vigilance has also reached an unimaginably strict, just becoming a patrol cavalry, several times more than usual, the scouts in the northern wolf cavalry are spread dozens of miles to Xudu as the center, keeping an eye on the official roads leading to the states and counties, the bow wolf cavalry patrols under the city wall every half an hour, and the Xiliang infantry and the Black Mountain infantry took over the defense that originally belonged to the Cao family soldiers, and Cheng Yu, who was stationed in the imperial city, also turned a blind eye to the Xiliang cavalry mixed with the guards, such a special period, he can tolerate it, At the same time, people are also a little hesitant and apprehensive about the upcoming change of dynasty.
He stood on the imperial city wall, let out a long breath, looked at the sunlight shining in the sky, and in the distant sunlight, the banner that stretched towards this side, he closed his eyes somewhat reluctantly, and for a moment, he whispered to the henchman next to him: "Open the city gate and welcome the new emperorββ"
The morning light pushed away the dark outline and walked forward, Gongsun Zhi sat on the carriage with his eyes closed, and there was no change on his face to the countless eyes on both sides of the street, but he also had complicated thoughts in his heart about what was coming, and he opened his mouth softly as the carriage was moving.
"Zhongkang, do you think that if Lone becomes an emperor, will he be a good emperor?"
Xu Chu, Li Ke, and Dian Wei glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to speak casually about these words, but a smile gradually appeared on the face of the King of Jin over there, "You don't dare to say it, because Lone is not the leader of the horse thieves at the beginning, nor is he the governor of the northern land that gallops the grassland....... but the emperor of a country!" Emperor! You are afraid of saying the wrong thing. β
A pair of eyes and street scenes followed the king backwards, and Gongsun Zhi still had a smile on his face when he said this in a low voice. When he galloped the grassland for the ferocity of a horse thief, he was bold and decisive when he governed the northern territory for the governor, self-confidence and decisiveness, but also loneliness and hypocrisy, and finally turned invisible in a moment and precipitated in his bones.
"After all, it's the emperor......"
He smiled: "Lone still remembers that the white wolf was originally composed of several small hills, which were densely wooded, and there was a waterhole in the middle, which was covered with leaves, and bird droppings, and was later cleaned up by the sour Ru people, and the sun shone down in the sky, and it was clear and clear, and later rescued many women, married horse thieves and became mothers-in-law, and in the summer evenings, many people lay in hidden places to watch bare-ass women take a bath. β
Speaking of this, Gongsun Zhi smiled even brighter, "This is the best time in Lonely...... There was a faint trace of water stains in the corners of his eyes, and he said repeatedly: "...... such a good time, I can't go back." β
"Not necessarily." Cao Chun, who was driving, loosened the reins, looked back at him, and smiled on his face: "Now everyone doesn't have to fight with their lives to eat a mouthful of food, and there are also mothers-in-law and children, all of whom were fought by the original leader, do you say?!" β
Li Ke nodded fiercely: "Of course!" But except for the time when he ran into Lu Bu. β
"Which time?" Dian Wei turned his head to look at him. Li Ke glanced at him, "You still don't know where to hunt bare-ass." β
"Fart!"
The walls of the imperial city were faintly visible, and in the ranks, Hua Xiong and Cao Ang suddenly rode up, and Cao Chun, Li Ke, and Dian Wei guarded the chariot in the middle, as if they had already discussed, Qi Qi gave up his hand to Gongsun Zhi, and someone's eyes were already wet, and he shouted in a choked voice: "Chief, please allow me to call the leader again later." β
"Chiefβ"
"Chiefβ"
In the voice of the group of people who only belonged to the original group, Gongsun Zhi slowly stood up with tears in his eyes, and when he smiled at them, the team had entered the imperial city gate, and the sky was shining on the tall figure, raising his hand and waving violently: "Brothers, follow Gu into the main palace." β
"Yes!"
The procession crossed the city gate and stretched towards the palace.
**************
Xuchang, Xunfu.
Xun Yu sat quietly in the study, the windows around him were closed, and the lights were not bright, he sat behind the long case, his eyes closed and motionless, since he was released from the prison, he rarely went out of the house, among which Cheng Yu, Man Zhong and others came to invite him, but he politely refused, today is the day when the King of Jin ascended the throne, the Han family is about to be gone, and Cao Gong is also gone, there is not much worth nostalgia in this world.
The mountains and rivers that have worked hard for half a lifetime are finally going to change their names and surnames, Xun Yu opened his eyes, looked at the bronze jue on the desk, slowly poured it in his hand, raised it and slowly put it to his lips: "Respect the emperors of the Han family, respect for the dear friend Cao Cao, and also respect the comrades who have been running for the Han family for half their lives!" β
"..... Yu, I have failed you."
Raise your head and drink it all in one gulp.
***********
The narrow palace road fell to the rear, and the continuous procession walked all the way, and the vision spread out in front of it.
The huge school field, the towering high platform, the countless flags around it, hunting in the wind, the rain god and the moon god platform on both sides set up a huge brazier, the flame swayed, and bursts of black smoke rose to the sky, and the sacrifice had begun. Under the high platform, more than 300 officials of all sizes knelt and sit, and 5,000 ironclad soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion guarded everywhere.
The sound of the boom lingered for a long time.
Hua Xin pressed the hilt of the sword and invited Liu Xie, who was trembling beside him, to the altar, followed by Huanjie, Wang Lang, Man Chong and others. Liu Xie picked up the edict tremblingly, and tears flowed down.
"The ...... Han family is in the twilight, so that the family and the country are in charge, and they blaspheme the kings of the Han Dynasty in order to bring disaster to the world, and I feel ashamed to sit on the throne. The yellow scarves disturb the people, and the people of several states are struggling to make a living; Dong thief for the disaster of the court, the prestige of the Han family is difficult to survive, fortunately the king of Jin waved his troops south, the war minister Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Ping Liu Bei in Xichuan ......."
In the distance, Gongsun stopped the car, pursed his lips and strode along the sound of reading the edict.
β.β¦β¦ The king of Jin for the survival of the world, rushed all over the world, swept away the world, and made great merit, I stole that Han Chengyao Yun, there is the righteousness of preaching the saints, and also adhering to the idea of the world for the public, entrusting this country and the living soul of the Chinese land to the prince and grandson of the Jin Dynasty, and I also hope that you will spread my words today to the Quartet, to the Jiangdong Sun Quan, and inform him to think of the family and the country, and avoid cannibalism and fighting in the same room! β
In the daylight, Gongsun Zhi, who strode forward, walked on the altar of receiving Zen. The kneeling figures below, the armor soldiers who were standing held their breath, looked at the standing figures on the high platform, and walked forward. Liu Xie put down the edict and turned around, and lowered his face towards the Gongsun who came up, and others entrusted the Son of Heaven Imperial Treasure, and his voice was extremely low: "King Jin, I ...... The right thing has been done. β
Wang Lang, who was not far from Liu Xie, walked over with the seal in his hand, and when he looked at Gongsun Zhi over there, the latter nodded silently, unfolded the silk in his hand, and his voice sounded loudly.
"The edict of the Son of Heaven is made, and the ministers under the altar kneel down to listen to the bookββ"
β¦β¦.
Yanmen County, green buds sprouting branches, counting horses galloping on the official road, Cai Yan sat in the carriage looking at the towering mountains, she has not walked out of Shanggu County for many years, such a scenery makes her feel fresh, more often, the woman is still in the car to pray for her husband, after today, the world is different.
Youzhou, the spring rain continued to fall, after the man named Guo Huai buried his master and mother, he carried the iron gun that had accompanied him for many years to Shanggu County, and occasionally the rain stopped, revealing a touch of spring sun shining on his resolute face, learning martial arts for many years, and finally going to avenge his dead father.
In the middle of the tall courtyard mansion, in the quiet ancestral hall, the quaint lamps burned grease, and a woman looked at the shrine with an expressionless face, she had long been pure-hearted, and she didn't even remember that her name was Zhen Mi.
β¦β¦
The flames of the rain god and the moon god platform burned fiercely, distorting the air, and the brocade silk unfolded in Wang Lang swelled and swelled in the wind.
ββ¦β¦ The twilight of the Han Dynasty, since the beginning of Emperor Ling, has been fainted to the chaos of the world, and the lives are devastated, such as Zhang Jiao, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, who are fierce and rebellious, and there are also like the pillars of Cao Cao, the king of Wei, who saved the Central Plains from becoming a thief, although he did not sympathize, he only sought a peaceful place for the common people in the world, so that he could breathe, and did his best to the twilight of his life, so that there was such a situation of smooth north-south flow and no war, which can be described as difficult, and you should regret it....."
Below, Cao Ang cried out in a low voice, many generals and ministers who originally belonged to the Cao family, such as Yu Ban, Li Dian, and the first batch of people in Le Jin, cried bitterly, if it weren't for Cao Cao's knowledge, how could they be promoted from the end of the micro to the current side of the unified army, and today they can hear the content of the prayer in the edict of Feng Chan, and many old generals of the Cao family kowtowed their heads to the high platform.
"However, just like after the king of Jin inherited Cao Gong, he saved the Quartet from danger, and cleared the chaotic ministers in various states to protect the temple of the Han Dynasty. Since ancient times, Tang Yao Chan is located in Yu Shun, Shun is also a life, and I should worship the great virtues of the sagesββ"
Wang Lang's face was flushed, his eyes were eager, and at the end of the reading, he turned around and looked towards Gongsun Zhi, and his voice was raised to the extreme: "ββFor the King of Jin, he will give a great gift to all countries to inherit the mandate of heaven!! β
β¦β¦.
Cao Mansion, Cao Pi pushed a woman to the ground, her hair was scattered, she staggered and pointed at each other, scolded a few times, took out all her things, threw them out of the door, and yelled hysterically: "You get out-"
Guo Zhao covered his red cheeks and threw himself in front of the closed door, crying and slapping.
Jingzhou, the water village along the river, Guan Yu's body is no longer harmed, he walked out with the support of his eldest son Guan Ping, met Lu Bu who was patrolling, the two chatted and gossiped one by one, they looked far away, the generals from the north were fluttering in the river, Zhang Liao, Wen Chou, Zhang He and others had already eaten several mouthfuls of water, and Zhou Cang stood on a small boat, laughing bare-chested, and the next second, he was grabbed by Yan Rou's neck and dragged into the water.
"Look, prince, if you continue to fight in this world, can these people still get along like this?" Lu Bu stood on the bank of the river, a smile on his wrinkled face.
Guan Yu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.
"It's rare to let your stubborn old guy nod and go!" Lu Bu looked at the big tent with him, "Today, the new emperor ascends the throne, you and I might as well drink a few cups, which can be regarded as congratulating the new emperor." β
"Guan is not afraid of you!" Immediately, the two walked away side by side. Gao Shun glanced at Guan Ping, who was slightly stunned next to him, "It's just that Wen Hou is looking for a chance to drink." β
On the long and calm Yangtze River, the white sails are like clouds, and they are ready to cross the river.
β¦β¦
Xu Du, the voice on the altar stopped, Wang Lang returned with the edict, and Gongsun Zhi then accepted eight kinds of gifts, namely: welcoming the sky, laying jade silk, entering the ceremony, the beginning of the line, the Asia, and the end of the three gifts, as well as the withdrawal of food, gifts, is to complete the ceremony.
Soon, Jian Shuo came over with the white jade twelve crowns, and the old face that was smeared with pink dai had tears flowing down, and after wearing the crown of God for Gongsun with his own hands, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "The old slave is worth ...... in this life."
Immediately, he walked to the front, his back straightened, and his hoarse and thin voice shouted in a high-pitched voice: "-Welcome the new emperor!" β
In front of the field of vision, the sky is rolling and the flag is hunting.
In the sunshine, the huge school field, the kneeling civil and military densely raised their heads, Gongsun Zhi, who was wearing a crown, slowly stood up, crossed Wang Lang, Hua Xin, and Liu Xie, and walked to the front of the stage step by step.
"Among you, there are the old ministers of the Cao family, the ministers of the Han family, and those who have two hearts, but now they are all the same, you and others are all my civil and military, my courtiers, what you did in the past, what you want to do, all in the past, are in the past. The world will be unified again, and the new era will be witnessed in the eyes of you and me, and completed in your hands! β
In the luxurious scabbard around his waist, the cold glow of the Heavenly Sword bloomed little by little, held between his hands, raised it to the sky, and roared out: "...... Regardless of the Han Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty, you and I will always be Han people, no matter the young or the old, no matter the high or low, we are all of the same clan, with the sword of the Son of Heaven as the oath, since the beginning of me, in the future generations, never change! β
The bright light of the sky reflected on the blade of the sword, and there was a soft humming sound, and everyone's eyes were inserted on the high platform.
Countless figures below stood up, and on the huge school field, whether it was soldiers, civil servants, or generals, raised their arms and danced weapons, many different voices swept like a torrent at this moment, and then exploded in the sky.
"Long live the Han people!!"
On the tenth day of the first month of February, Liu Xiechan let the emperor take the throne and stop his grandson, rebuilt Annian as the first year of Qinglong, the country name Dajin, named Liu Xie as the Duke of Shanyang, and moved to Shanyang County, Yanzhou to raise the Tiannian, and he was not allowed to enter the court unless he was called. Half a month later, the fast horse carrying the documents of the Jin Dynasty went to the states to convey the message, and the real war began.
Soon after, after receiving the news that Gongsun Zhi had ascended the throne as emperor in Xudu, Sun Quan felt the tremendous pressure of the real Mount Tai and the final hustle and bustle.
