Chapter 58 The Northern and Southern Han Dynasty and Wu Cheng Ding, the Princes of the Quartet Expand Their Territories (5)
The hundred officials of Jiaozhou heard that Liu Xie had a son who was not dead, but was rescued by Nan Ye, and some suddenly realized that Nan Ye's national teacher was unpredictable. Some are skeptical, not knowing whether the story is true or not. There are also people who secretly pick their fingers, thinking that Nan Ye had the opportunity to kill people and establish himself as the emperor, but he wanted to save Liu Xie's heirs and establish himself as the emperor, worthy of being the lord of benevolence and righteousness.
Nan Ye didn't care what the officials thought, and said directly to the civil and military forces: "Cao Pi usurped and forced the first emperor to give way to the world, and it was not good if his name was not right, so he would return to the throne with little time." Cao Pi abdicated, and he should have returned the throne to the first emperor, but the first emperor died without blessing, and the son of the first emperor should inherit the Han dynasty. Therefore, I want to set up Liu Yi, the heir of the first emperor, as the emperor, what do you think? ”
Guo Jia, Dian Wei Yiwen and Yiwu took the lead in the class and said: "The national teacher is wise! The ministers are willing to obey the decree of the national teacher! ”
As soon as the hundred officials saw these two people come out, they realized that Nan Ye had already planned it, and several important ministers in the army must have known about it, but they didn't say anything. This is in line with what Guo Jia said, that is, Nan Ye concealed this matter in order to protect Liu Yi's safety. Since Nan Ye and a group of important ministers all agreed, the hundred officials did not say anything more and seconded the proposal.
Nan Ye ordered people to choose a good day and an auspicious day, build an altar in the southern suburbs, and hold a succession ceremony. Compared with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, Nan Ye's financial, material, and human resources are much stronger, and the ceremony was unprecedented, with hundreds of thousands of people coming to watch the ceremony. Nan Ye led his son Nan Yi, who was alias Liu Yi, to the altar of the mound, read the sacrificial texts, and worshiped heaven and earth.
Six-year-old Nan Yi wore a dragon robe and a dragon crown, and honestly stood beside Nan Ye and followed his father to worship heaven and earth and ancestors. Although he didn't quite understand what it meant to be an emperor, and he didn't know why he changed his name to Liu Yi, he knew that listening to his parents was a good child, and he was very cooperative with Nan Ye's actions.
Nan Ye was very satisfied with his youngest son's performance, he couldn't help but dislike such a well-behaved and obedient child, at this time Nan Ye felt that Nan Yi was much better than his idealistic brothers. In fact, Nan Ye's sons' reluctance to be emperors is also related to his education method as a father, Nan Ye himself is disgusted with imperial power, and it has also imperceptibly affected the next generation.
After the sacrifice was completed, Nan Ye and Nan Yi turned to face the officials and people under the altar. I saw that the people under the altar were divided into three layers, the nearest layer was the civil and military officials, the outer layer was the colorful Jiaozhou army, and the outermost layer was densely packed with people. Although there were hundreds of thousands of people under the altar, everyone was silent, and they all focused their eyes on Nan Ye and Nan Yi in awe.
Nan Yi had never seen so many people, so it was inevitable that she had some stage fright, and her little hands held her father's hand tightly, showing full dependence. Nan Ye bowed his head and smiled at his son to express encouragement, and then announced: "The sacrifice to the heavens is over, and the new monarch has ascended the throne." Salute and play the national anthem! ”
When the hundreds of officials heard this, they bowed down and saluted together, bowed three times in a row, and all the soldiers saluted together, and hundreds of thousands of people knelt down in the dark, and the mountains shouted long live. After the ceremony, the musicians played music, and the officials and soldiers sang in unison: "The Han Dynasty stands majestically in the universe, Huazhou comes from the top of Kunlun, the rivers and lakes are vast and the mountains are connected, the scientific avenue opens a new day, and the national fortune lasts for hundreds of millions of years......"
The simple lyrics are concise and catchy, and the tune is high-spirited and smooth. The hundred officials and soldiers sang it only once, and some people hummed it a second time. By the time the national anthem reached the third time, hundreds of thousands of people were already singing in unison under the altar, and the singing shook the sky for a while.
After the national anthem was anthemed, Nan Ye announced again: "Raise the national flag!" ”
With Nan Ye's order, the people saw a guard of honor composed of 100 people walk out of the soldiers. The guards of honor were all tall and energetic, escorting a flag. After a circle of honor around the altar, the guard of honor came to the flagpole in front of the altar and slowly raised the flag. When the flag flutters in the wind, the people in the distance can see the style of the national flag.
The national flag is composed of red, yellow and blue, with yellow as the background color, which means the descendants of Yan and Huang. In the center of the national flag is the red character "Han", which represents the Han Dynasty. A blue coiled dragon swirls and flies around the red character in the center, representing the blue sky, the blue sea, and the divine dragon all protect the big man. When the people saw this banner, they shouted again long live.
After the flag-raising ceremony, Nan Ye ordered someone to present the jade seal to Nan Yi, and then announced: "The parade ceremony begins!" ”
A group of soldiers who had already been prepared lined up in a neat phalanx, separated from the large group of men guarding the altar, walked through the altar in turn to start the parade. Mage personal guard, trap camp, vine armor army, Jiaozhou cavalry, Tiefutu, kidnapping horse, Yuanrong crossbowmen, Jiaozhou navy, Wudang flying army, thunderbolt convoy...... More than a dozen phalanxes, soldiers with different equipment and different characteristics were dazzled by the people, and everyone present intuitively realized the incomparable strength of the Jiaozhou army.
Everyone was proud and proud of this magnificent army, even the young Nan Yi was no exception, and his little face was a little red with excitement. Seeing that the phalanx began to walk past the altar, Nan Ye reminded Nan Yi in a low voice: "It's time for you to speak, remember what to say, right?" ”
Nan Yi nodded at Nan Ye, and then exerted all his strength and shouted in an immature childish voice: "Long live the Han soldiers!" ”
When the marching soldiers phalanx heard this voice, they immediately looked at Nan Ye's father and son on the altar, and responded loudly while saluting: "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Nan Yi was even more excited when she heard the response, and then shouted: "The soldiers have worked hard! ”
The soldiers also shouted with all their strength: "Fight for the peace of the people!" ”
The people who came to watch the ceremony immediately cheered when they heard such an exciting slogan, and shouted one after another: "Long live the Han soldiers!" "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" "Long live Guanghua National Teacher!" ……
Sima Bai looked up at Nan Ye on the altar under the altar, listening to the cheers in his ears, and he couldn't say anything in his heart. Since she was a child, she knew that her family died at the hands of Nan Ye, and she was bent on finding Nan Ye for revenge. But when she saw the enemy for the first time today, there was a trace of confusion in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of Sima Yi's words before leaving.
"Could it be that for the people of the world, what Nan Ye did was right?" Sima Bai couldn't help but have doubts in her heart, but then she denied it in her heart: "Even if he is kind to the people of the world, what about it? If he has a vendetta against me, I should take revenge. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. Thinking of this, Sima Bai's gaze became firm again.
Nan Ye didn't notice that there was a beautiful assassin under the altar, and even if he noticed Nan Ye, he wouldn't care. There are more people in this world who want Nan Ye's life, and there are not 1,800 assassins who come to assassinate him every year, but there are Dian Wei, Zhou Cang and the mage's personal guards, and no matter how many assassins come in vain.
