Under the compulsion of the soldiers, a group of foreigners with different skins were forced to kneel and salute Liu Zhang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There was a glint of hatred in the eyes of these people, and only the queen of the Japanese kingdom, Himiko, looked at Liu Zhang with a strange look. The people of the Japanese Kingdom naturally worship the strong, and seeing that Liu Zhang can make Gan Ning, the general who destroyed the Japanese Kingdom, impressed, he can't offer himself in exchange for the survival of the Japanese Kingdom.

It's a pity that Himiko was tied up like a rice dumpling, and she couldn't express herself at all, and Liu Zhang didn't give her a good face. However, this did not bother her, and when she saw that Liu Zhang was going to send someone to escort the captive, she hurriedly shouted loudly.

"What did she say?" Liu Zhang couldn't understand the Japanese language, and when he saw Beimihu shouting, he immediately looked at Zhou Yu and Gan Ning.

Gan Ning and Zhou Yu didn't understand either, but they brought an interpreter, and a Han man who was in exile knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, this person said: She is the great queen of the Japanese Kingdom, as long as Your Majesty lets the Japanese Kingdom go, she is willing to make a personal promise!" ”

"Humph!" Liu Zhang sneered: "Tell her that she is already my captive, what should I do, it is not her turn to speak, let her figure out the current situation!" ”

"Yes!" The translator hurriedly told Himiko what Liu Zhang said, and Himiko also said a lot of words, but the translator was worried. It's not that the translator can't understand it, it's that he doesn't dare to tell Liu Zhang what Himiko said!

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the translator didn't speak, but Himiko was holding his head high, Liu Zhang knew that Himiko definitely didn't say anything good!

"Your Majesty, what she said is crazy, and the villain doesn't dare to say it!" The translator knelt on the ground with a face full of embarrassment, he didn't want to die.

"Say, I forgive you for your innocence!" Liu Zhang smiled and said, "I am not the kind of mediocre king, don't worry!" ”

"Yes!" The interpreter stammered and pointed to Himiko and said, "She said: The Wa Kingdom is a country blessed by the gods, and you, as the emperor of the ceremonial state, should not destroy the Wa Kingdom for no reason." You are doing this as a sign of the unscrupulous monarch, and the heavens will punish you, and the people of the Wa Kingdom will avenge her! ”

"No way, no way, it's not what you say, as for God's punishment, I'm not afraid, because I'm the true son of heaven!" Liu Zhang waved his hand and said, "Gongjin, Xingba, the people of the Japanese country want to seek revenge on me, what do you think should be done?" ”

"Why bother, only slaughter!" Zhou Yu and Gan Ning burst out with a strong murderous aura, how could they threaten Liu Zhang?

"Nope! I am willing to serve Your Majesty, please spare the widows! There was no need for a translator, Himiko saw her mistake from Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, and she quickly pleaded with Liu Zhang in unskilled Chinese.

"It's late! There is no need for anyone who dares to threaten me to live in this world! Liu Zhang sneered: "Pass the order, degrade the Japanese people as pariahs, separate the Japanese men and women, all the Japanese men are castrated (castrated) and used as slaves, and the Japanese women are used as military records, and they are not allowed to give birth to heirs!" Translate, speak to her! ”

"Yes!" The translator shuddered, it was the first time he had heard such a cruel order, it was simply to exterminate the Japanese race. Although he didn't know what hatred Liu Zhang had with the Japanese people, he still told Liu Zhang's words to Himiko as they were!

"No!" Himihu was shocked, she never thought that Liu Zhang would be so brutal. In a fit of rage, she actually stood up and rushed to Liu Zhang, wanting to fight with Liu Zhang!

"Get out!" It was not Liu Zhang who did it, but Princess Wannian. Although her husband came back, she didn't go down to recognize each other, but just helped the Empress Dowager He to stand aside. Seeing Himihu rushing towards Liu Zhang, she would not let a foreigner run rampant. Of course, she also knows that Liu Zhang doesn't beat women, even if it's a foreign woman!

"Escort down, fill the army!" Liu Zhang will not pity the jade, in his opinion, for the women of the Japanese country, the military camp is the best destination, because there are enough men there!

The purpose of sacrificing prisoners is to praise merit and to show the people of the Han Dynasty a freshness, and Liu Zhang can't dispose of prisoners at the enthronement ceremony. After the army took the prisoners down, the seven returning generals also stood under the high platform. Scanning everyone, Liu Zhang's eyes were like sharp blades, and the return of his brother made his ambition rise again, far surpassing Genghis Khan's exploits, making him a little tempted to look up to the sky and howl. However, today is his ascension to the throne, and the image still needs to be exquisite.

"Your Majesty, it's time to reward the ministers!" Seeing Liu Zhang looking at everyone in a daze, Empress Dowager He gently pulled him.

Nodding slightly, Liu Zhang took a deep breath and shouted: "Today is the day I ascend the throne, and all the soldiers are coming, and the Han will definitely be steaming." Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, this is the rule I set in my early years. Take this good day, I will reward the heroes! Huang Zhong! ”

"The last general!" Golden helmet and golden armor, Lao Huang Zhong came out with a knife and a bow on his back. His snow-white hair fluttered in the wind, but his eyes were staring at Liu Zhang.

"Nanyang Huang Zhongzi Hansheng has been by my side since I was five years old. Conscientious, hard-working, training soldiers for me, and conquering the world, it is really indispensable! Liu Zhang paused, except for Lao Huang Zhong, everyone's eyes looked at him. He didn't let everyone wait for long, so he shouted out the reward: "Huang Zhong is now the protector of the king..."

"What? Protect the King! Everyone was stunned, and the audience, which was originally very lively, became silent!

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't dare to accept it!" Huang Zhong was also stunned for a moment, and he hurriedly excused himself: "The old minister may have a slight merit, but Gaozu once said: If you are not surnamed Liu, you cannot be crowned a king, and if you are not a meritorious hero, you cannot be crowned a marquis..."

"Is the great Han of today still the great Han of Gaozu?" Liu Zhang roared: "Come on, serve wine!" ”

An attendant walked up to the meditation platform with a large jar of wine, and Liu Zhang pulled out the sword of cutting the snake from his waist and said: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu once swore an oath to kill horses. Today, I will not kill horses, because horses are not worthy of your work! ”

After speaking, Liu Zhang uncovered the sealing mud on the wine jar, and gently slashed his wrist with his sword, and the blood immediately dripped into the wine jar. Everyone was shocked when they saw this, especially Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, who were watching the ceremony in the audience, and the two hurriedly rushed up!

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here? The old minister will stop the bleeding for you! Hua Tuo took out the golden medicine and wanted to stop the bleeding for Liu Zhang, but was stopped by Liu Zhang. After a while, until his face turned a little pale, Liu Zhang asked Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji to stop the bleeding for himself!

After signaling the chamberlain to shake the wine, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Today, I swear to you with this blood wine: you can be a marquis by expanding the land for thousands of miles, and you can be crowned a king by expanding the land for thousands of miles!" Huang Zhong, you protect me, follow me to conquer the world, calm the troubled times, its merit is comparable to expanding the land, I now say that you are the king, do you dare to accept it? Or do you think that the prince is not able to show you the merits and want me to give up the throne? ”

"Don't dare!" Huang Zhong burst into tears, he originally thought that Liu Zhang planned to make everyone public, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to make him king. Seeing that Liu Zhang's mind had been decided, he prostrated on the ground and said: "Your Majesty is gracious, the ministers will die in retribution, but the king's gift, the ministers dare not resign, thank Your Majesty!" ”

"That's very good, stand behind me first, and wait for me to reward others!" Liu Zhang smiled with satisfaction, and he beckoned to Huang Zhong gently!

"No!" Huang Zhongmeng stood up and strode behind Liu Zhang, as if he was guarding Liu Zhang!

"Shia!" Liu Zhang called out again, only to see an old man in white flashing out of the crowd. Although he is in his sixties, Shi A is still wearing a white robe, and he looks a little younger than Liu Zhang.

"The minister is here!" Shi Ah clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is just guarding the courtyard for you, so there is no need to reward you!" ”

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Since I was five years old, you have been by my side, and you have made great contributions to protecting Chang'an and protecting everyone's families. Without you, how can I fight the world with confidence? You don't have to quit! Since you said that you are the guardian of the courtyard for me, I will make you the king of the guard! ”

"This..."Shi A was stunned for a moment, he saw that Huang Zhong had accepted the prince's title, and he couldn't shirk it anymore, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Get up!" With a wave of his hand, letting Shi A stand beside him, Liu Zhang shouted again: "Dian Wei! ”

"The minister is here!" Dian Wei is a reckless man, he doesn't care what Liu Zhang seals him, as long as Liu Zhang remembers him!

Liu Zhang said: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you have protected me by my side and saved me from danger many times. It can be said that without you, there would be no me. Today, I have made you the king of power! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dian Wei was much more simply, he kowtowed, and stood behind Liu Zhang! Seeing that Dian Wei was so simple, Liu Zhang was also very satisfied, and continued to reward everyone.

With Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Shi A taking the lead, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others, who originally wanted to resign, could no longer refuse. As a result, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu, Xu Shu, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Liu Ye, Xi Zhicai, Zhao Lei and others all accepted the prince, and they were called the eighteen kings of the founding of the New Han Dynasty!

After sealing the prince, Liu Zhang also named Yan Yan, Tai Shici, Guan Ping, Zhang He, Liu Xian, Pang De, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Huang Xu, Liu Xian, Ma Teng, Sima Hui and others as dukes. The earlier those who follow Liu Zhang, the higher the official title they get, and only Yan Yan's title makes people sigh.

Of course, Yan Yan also knew what he was wrong with, although he didn't get the royal title, he didn't resent it, he just felt that he had no vision. Now, Liu Zhang can make him a duke, and he already feels very lucky. Otherwise, with his behavior at both ends of the first mouse, even if Liu Zhang settles accounts after the autumn, he can't help it!

Liu Zhang didn't have many heroes to be crowned, only thirty or forty people, and then he was canonized as concubines. In the past, Liu Zhang could be vague, but he has already ascended the throne, so naturally he can no longer avoid this problem. Cai Yan and Liu Zhang are very close to each other, and they are their wives, so they are naturally queens, while the others are all named concubines, but there is not much difference.

"Tuo'er, come up!" The heroes and concubines were all sealed, and Liu Zhang thought of his son.

"See my father, may my father be forever!" Liu Tuo was also a little excited, although he was already a sure thing to be the crown prince, but when it came to the end, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart!

Holding Liu Tuo's hand, Liu Zhang yelled at the audience: "I am the emperor immediately, and I am nearly sixty years old this year, and I am no longer as brave as I was in the past." What you need is a young and promising emperor. Today, it is said that on this meditation platform, it is not only the son of my enthronement, but also the son of my Zen position..."

"Father, you..."Liu Tuo was shocked, he knelt on the ground and said: "Father is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can he say goodbye?" Please take back your fate! ”

"Tuo'er up!" Liu Zhang picked up his son and said with a smile: "I'm old, and I don't have so much energy to manage the world." Haven't I left all the government affairs to you now? A father believes that you can manage the country well, even if you can't manage it well, isn't there still a father? Stand up straight, take out the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and don't let your father down! ”

"No!" Wiping his reddened eyes, Liu Tuo stood up and stood beside Liu Zhang.

"Come on, put on the dragon robe and crown!" Liu Zhang roared, and his own attendant walked up to the meditation platform with the things used to call the emperor. In order to prevent everyone from stopping him from Zen, he secretly ordered someone to prepare everything for Liu Tuo. Nowadays, when raw rice is cooked and matured, it is too late for others to object!

Personally put on the dragon robe and crown for Liu Tuo, and handed the heirloom jade seal to him, Liu Zhang looked at the mighty son with great satisfaction, and said with a smile: "From now on, change the Yuan Han, and this year is the first year of the Han Dynasty." My descendants are not allowed to change the name of the era until the Han perishes. I want to let Qin Shi Huang's unfinished deeds start in my hands, from the first year to a thousand years, ten thousand years! ”

The people in the audience are crazy, there is no change of dynasty, there will be no war, and the people can live a good life.

Of course, this is just an ideal, and it needs to be put into practice. But Liu Zhang has done enough for the world and the people, and the people will not question his ideals. It's just that no one expected that Liu Zhang's ideal was finally realized.

A thousand years later, when historians mentioned Liu Zhang, they all called him - the first emperor of the Xinghan Dynasty!
