The world is impermanent, ten years of wind and rain, do not think, unforgettable.

After a lapse of 12 years, the southern suburbs of Chang'an once again ushered in an unprecedented event.

As far as the eye can see, there are a sea of people in the wilderness, dense with flags, iron armor, and soldiers.

More than 200,000 people participated in the enthronement ceremony, and the Xiliang army successively dispatched cavalry, infantry and sailors totaling 310,000.

More than 300,000 troops and more than 200,000 people participated in the grand event, although such a scale is unprecedented, but at least it is a major event that is second to none.

Throughout the previous dynastic changes, not to mention the ancient periods such as the Xia, Shang, Western and Zhou dynasties, and the Qin Emperor and Han Wu eras, there was no such spectacular enthronement ceremony.

This is the first major event in more than 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

The last major event in the southern suburbs was the Battle of the Southern Suburbs twelve years ago. In the battle, Li Li, who had risen from a different army, led 140,000 Wuwei troops to face off against the 170,000 Xiliang troops led by Li Wei, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou. The battle lasted for two days and two nights, nearly 200,000 cavalry rushed to fight head-on, and more than 100,000 infantry troops assisted in the attack. It was the decisive battle that decided the belonging of Xiliang, and it was also a head-on collision between the old Xiliang army and the rising star, and it was also a life-and-death contest for power change. A war of life and death, a war of the west of Liang, a war of gambling on the country.

For Li Li, who ascended the throne and became emperor at this moment. He has an indescribable special affection for the southern suburbs, which is of great significance. This is where his dream began. directly determines whether he can be among the strong and whether he can gain a firm foothold; is a sign of his true rise. It is a virgin place to let your dreams fly.

Looking back on the past twelve years, starting from the Battle of the Southern Suburbs, Li Li won with difficulty and won the control of the Xiliang Army. Since then, Li Li has made great efforts to make the country prosperous, forged ahead, paid unimaginable hardships and efforts, and also made brilliant achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. In terms of territory, it has developed from the original four counties of the Western Regions to occupy the two states of Xiliang. Then he entered the Central Plains, until half of today's country. Militarily, from the initial two or three thousand troops to 300,000 troops, after the Sili War expanded to 500,000 soldiers and horses, after the Battle of Yizhou soldiers and horses grew again, with one million soldiers.

In contrast, for the brave and warlike Xiliang Army, it is not surprising that the military achievements and the continuous expansion of the territory are not surprising. Not a real achievement. What really determines the fate and achievements of the Xiliang Army is the great success in government affairs and agriculture, which is the lifeblood of the Xiliang Army and the foundation of all achievements.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty. After more than 400 years of rule in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, Xiliang has always been a place of long-term war, and the disasters of war have continued. The land is barren and the people are living in poverty. Livelihoods are struggling. When Li Li took over Xiliang, in addition to the first half a year, he quickly pacified Xiliang Erzhou. For more than two years, he stayed at home, racked his brains and tried every means to improve the livelihood of the people under his rule, restore the people's livelihood, and make every effort to develop farming. In order to support the development of farming, his wives and concubines and children all followed him to tighten their clothing and food, and the required expenses were reduced again and again, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation had to be carefully calculated, and no waste was allowed. And this is still a drop in the bucket and will not help.

So Li Li delegated military power to the generals of each battalion, and the entire Xiliang army was divided into pieces, fending for a living and being self-reliant. For this reason, in order to reduce the expenditure on grain and grass and reduce the pressure on supply, more than 300,000 troops fought a guerrilla war for three years, raised grain and grass on their own, expanded their territory, and developed and grew on their own.

The three-year recuperation and recuperation laid the foundation for the Xiliang Army's subsequent expansion into the Central Plains, and its effect was remarkable, far-reaching, and immeasurable. Today, Xiliang Erzhou, Shuozhou, Bingzhou and Sili have been without war for ten years, allowing millions of people under their rule to enjoy peace in the troubled times. In addition, Li Li vigorously developed the workshop industry, supported commercial development, and encouraged merchants to trade with the countries of the Western Regions. For more than ten years, agriculture and commerce under Li Li's rule have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and have made great progress. This is the fundamental reason why Xiliang dominates.

Looking at the world, the states and counties under Li Li's rule may not be the richest states and counties, but in terms of material life and spiritual needs, they are definitely above the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Han Dynasty, and they can be called peaceful and contented and materially rich. Therefore, the people under Li Li's rule have a high degree of recognition for him, have a high sense of belonging, and have an almost fanatical worship of the invincible Xiliang Army. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Li Li orders the expansion of the army, he can recruit more than 300,000 new soldiers again within three months.

Where the people want, the great cause will be accomplished. Therefore, when the southern suburbs of the mound was built, the people of Chang'an City and the surrounding areas rushed to voluntarily contribute to the work, so that the huge mound altar with more than three zhang (nine meters) and three layers of upper and lower layers was completed in only two months. As the date of the enthronement ceremony approached, the people of Sanfu rushed to the southern suburbs in advance and set up tents three miles outside the altar, waiting for the arrival of the enthronement ceremony, hoping to witness the sacred moment when the general Li Li ascended the throne and became emperor.

This is the result of Li Li's more than ten years of hard work, which is not only a great honor, but also a heavy mission that he must undertake. The land in the southern suburbs of Chang'an carries all his dreams, records his initial dreams, and witnesses the glorious moment when his dreams come true.

In a sense, the southern suburbs are Li Li's fateful place. From the initial stumbling dream, to the current hegemony has become a prototype of the throne and the emperor, the land in the southern suburbs has witnessed his entire growth process.

The footsteps of "tom" kicked off the prelude to the enthronement ceremony, and the neighing of the war horses around the altar and the hustle and bustle of the people came to an abrupt end at this moment. Immediately, Li Li stood on the southeast side of the mound facing west, with no dragon crown on his head and no Zhengui in his hands, only Dagui with Dagui in his waist, standing with his head held high, staring at the many white clouds floating in the western sky, silent.

At this time, Li Xuan, the first important minister of Xiliang, ascended the altar, stood on the first altar, spread out the brocade silk sacrifice in his hand, and read aloud with a solemn expression: "At the beginning of heaven and earth, it was originally chaos, and there was Pangu Clan's enlightenment, opening the heavens and the earth, and then there was Shenzhou ??????" A lengthy sacrifice to the heavens was told in Li Xuan's suppressed voice, from Pangu to the creation of human beings by female snails, from the two saints of Yan and Huang to protect the common people to Haotian God to establish the heavenly court, and then the three emperors and five emperors ruled the world, and the dynasties such as the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States dynasties changed, until the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, all appeared in the sacrificial texts.

It took a quarter of an hour to read these contents, and this was only the beginning of the whole memorial text, and the following statement of Li Li's great achievements was the main point. When stating Li Li's exploits in detail, the expression on Li Xuan's face was very rich, and his tone changed with the words, and his expression changed accordingly. To sum up, there is only one meaning to be expressed in this sacrificial text, that is, Haotian God is in charge of the heavenly court and the immortal gods, and Li Li is the earthly incarnation of Haotian God, and is the emperor of the world who belongs to the mandate of heaven.

After the lengthy memorial announcement, Li Xuan moved to the northwest side of the altar on the ground floor, his posture standing tall and solemn. Immediately afterwards, Jia Xu, the chief military advisor of the Xiliang Army, appeared on the square altar opposite the altar of the mound, which was a three-story altar carved out of the ground, which was the altar of sacrifice to the gods of the earth, and the lower it went, the more noble it became. Jia Xu stood on the top floor, the first floor of the altar of sacrifice, and the position he stood was commensurate with the position where Li Xuan was just now. The difference is that Li Xuan stands on the Temple of Heaven, high above; And Jia Xu stood in the altar of earth, the terrain was very low, more than a zhang lower than the Temple of Heaven. But even so, Jia Xu's location is still much higher than the terrain where the crowd of spectators on the periphery of the altar is located, because the site of the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth is located on the soil slope, the terrain is quite high, and the altar of the earth is not deep, each floor is three feet apart, and the lowest layer is just nine feet from the ground.

Jia Xu read out the sacrificial text of the sacrifice to Houtu, the text is the same as the sacrificial text read by Li Xuan, the beginning part is still to promote the merits of the Holy Mother of Houtu, and the core part is still to sing the merits of Li Li, sprinkled with thousands of words, and read it for two quarters of an hour.

After Jia Xu finished reading the sacrificial text, he slowly left the altar of earth, walked to the Temple of Heaven opposite, climbed the first altar, and stood beside Li Xuan. Immediately following the two of them was Guo Jia, the right military division, who neither entered the altar of earth nor went to the altar of heaven, but stood on the altar in the middle of the two altars, read out the sacrificial text of the sacrifice to the Emperor of the Five Directions, and once again sang praises for Li Li's achievements in pacifying the Quartet and conquering the surrounding barbarians, giving unparalleled high praise. Fortunately, the sacrificial text in Guo Jia's hand was not long, and he finished reading it in a quarter of an hour, and then moved to the Temple of Heaven, and Li Xuan and Jia Xu held the sacrificial text in their hands, respectfully asking Li Li to inherit the will of heaven and obey the will of the people.

At this point, the sacrificial ceremonies of sacrificing to the heavens, the earth and the five emperors were all completed, and the main event was after worshipping the heavens and the earth, that is, Li Li adhered to the meaning of heaven and earth, conformed to the hearts of the people, was crowned emperor, and became the emperor of the world.

When Li Xuan and Guo Jia held high the sacrificial text and knelt down to ask Li Li to ascend the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, more than 300,000 soldiers and more than 200,000 people outside the altar bowed in unison: "I respectfully ask the general to obey the heavens and ascend the throne as the emperor!" More than 500,000 people knelt down and bowed, and the loudness of the sound instantly pierced the sky, resounding and curbing the clouds, straight into the sky, and the end was shaking the sky and the earth.
