Chapter 666: The Blade Serves the Honor and Shares

Under Xu Ci's shouting, there were many courtesy officials on the side, personally leading many Hanchen to walk step by step towards the high platform above.

Even if there are many Hanchen gathered today, the high platform built by Zhuge Liang is more than ten zhang.

On the long steps on both sides, a soft seat made of Shu brocade is placed opposite each other.

Shu brocade is known for its colorful colors in the world, and when the colorful Shu brocade meets the shaking firelight, the two intersect, so that the steps of the entire high platform exude a strange color in the dark night.

It's amazing, and it's very pleasing to the eye.

Of course, most of the courtiers who have this feeling are those who have just returned from Cao Wei's annexation.

Man Chong, Jiang Ji and the others, looking at the shining Shu brocade soft seats arranged in layers around them, their eyes all flowed with incredible looks.

Since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the world has been suffering from war for decades.

In the event of a large-scale war, the monetary system will be the first to be affected.

And so it is.

Needless to say, in recent years, as early as decades ago, when Dong Zhuo was in power, the Han monetary system with the five-baht currency as the core had completely collapsed.

And that hasn't changed for decades.

Although it may seem fantastical, the fact is that even in the past few decades, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, the three British lords, have thought of establishing a new monetary system, which can be bartered, and it is still the mainstream means of social transactions today.

Perhaps Ji Han's direct 100 coins and Sun Wu's Daquan 5,000 have been criticized by many people in later generations, but it can be said that Ji Han and Sun Wu have always wanted to reform the monetary system.

Cao Wei was good, and after the founding of the country, he directly copied the unsightly five-baht money system that had been troubled by Dong Zhuo, and then it was never modified according to the current situation.

This does not show how well the monetary economy in Cao Wei is doing, but it just proves that Cao Wei's monetary economy is even more confused than the other two.

was so confused that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty didn't want to deal with it anymore.

This is the most experienced in the hearts of Cao Wei's former ministers and Jiang Ji and others.

It is a shame to say that due to the inaction of Cao Wei's official monetary economy, barter was most common in Cao Wei's territory.

What is even more ashamed is that what is regarded as the hard currency of goods in Cao Wei is not the product of the country, but the Shu brocade with excellent texture......

For Man Chong, Jiang Ji and others, they have the impression that Shu brocade is equivalent to the existence of gold, which is very precious.

One of the major channels for them to obtain Shu brocade is through the reward of the royal family, and there are more monks and less porridge, even if Cao Pi is generous, the Shu brocade that is rewarded to each minister at one time will definitely not be too much.

At most, there are only a dozen horses, which is enough to make any minister grateful.

Therefore, it is understandable that after they saw the "rich" scene of the big man, they had an incredible feeling due to the huge contrast.

Can Shu brocade be used for such a "waste"?

And looking at the height of this high platform, if you want to cover the soft seats made of Shu brocade on the top and bottom of the high platform, how much Shu brocade does it cost!

It's just that what Man Chong, Jiang Ji and others don't know is that for the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, Shu Jin, an extremely precious item to them, is really not too precious.

Since taking Yizhou, Liu Bei's favorite thing to do is to reward meritorious officials with Shu brocade.

For example, when he just won Yizhou, Liu Bei waved his pen and arrogantly rewarded Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others with thousands of Shu brocades.

And there are dozens of courtiers who have been rewarded with hundreds of Shu brocades.....

In terms of the actual situation of the Han Dynasty, the scene that was too "extravagant" in the eyes of Man Chong, Jiang Ji and others was really nothing.

Jiang Ji, who has a shrewd personality, gradually had an idea in his heart after being shocked.

The economic volume of the Han Dynasty is definitely not comparable to Cao Wei, and even after the recovery of Guanzhong, it will be difficult to surpass Cao Wei in this regard in a short period of time.

And to Chiang

Ji understands Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and he thinks that these two monarchs and ministers are not people who attach too much importance to luxury.

Then they can use Shu brocade to cover the entire high platform, which shows that the output of Shu brocade in the territory of Dahan is by no means as rare as the rumors say.

Shu brocade has a large output, which can keep the economy of Dahan in a stable situation.

This is something that Cao Wei can never compare.

In this way, is there a chance to take advantage of it?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ji temporarily hid this thought in his heart, and he thought that after today's banquet was over, it would be like Mi Yang mentioning this matter.

Under the guidance of the officials, Hanchen, who had climbed the steps one after another, walked to his own brocade seat and sat down according to his own status and status.

The higher his status, the closer his seat is to the high platform.

When you walk to your own brocade seat, perhaps because your status is not high, your seat is far away from the high platform.

But to be able to have a seat on the high platform today is an honor that can go down in history, so after taking a seat, every Hanchen's face was filled with a smile of joy.

As Mi Yang, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Fei continued to step forward, the Hanchen who followed them were decreasing step by step.

And as he continued to step forward, Mi Yang didn't pay attention to him behind him when he saw that there were only two steps under his feet, and thought it was time for him to take a seat.

Unexpectedly, the ceremonial officer beside him did not give this guidance.

Could it be that the ceremonial officer has forgotten?

But it's almost impossible.

It seemed that Mi Yang had expected such doubts, so the ceremonial officer beside him bowed down and explained in a whisper:

"Your Majesty's special edict, the generals, prime ministers, and chariot generals are not ordinary ministers, and they should be on the same stage as the Son of Heaven."

After hearing that it was Liu Bei's early arrangement, Mi Yang dispelled the worries in his heart and continued to walk towards the stage.

The two floors of stairs can be climbed in a moment, and after Mi Yang, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Fei came to the wide high platform, the ceremonial official led them to the three closest seats to the throne in the center of the stage.

After Mi Yang and the others had just taken their seats, the ceremonial officer on the high platform immediately came to the side of the high platform and made a gesture below.

After seeing this gesture, the sound of the salute music under the high stage changed suddenly.

If it is said that the ritual music of Fang Cai is mainly cheerful, then the current ritual music is mainly solemn.

Under the solemn music that resounded through the Changling Tomb, Liu Bei, who was wearing the emperor's regular clothes and wearing the Liu crown, slowly walked towards the high platform under the gaze of tens of thousands of people on the high platform.

For today, Liu Bei attaches great importance to it.

Because of the importance in his heart, he not only brought Liu Chan to Changling today, but also his other three sons, Liu Feng, Liu Yong, and Liu Li, also with him.

The appearance of one emperor and four princes also immediately pushed the solemn atmosphere up and down the platform to the highest.

At the moment when Liu Bei walked under the high platform, hundreds of Hanchen on the high platform stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Bei below under the guidance of the ceremonial officials.

While paying homage to Liu Bei, a loud cry also resounded inside and outside the Changling Tomb:

"Your Majesty!"

After this loud cry sounded, an even more deafening shout exploded inside and outside the vast Changling:

"Hooray!"

This sound came from the mouths of tens of thousands of Han soldiers guarding inside and outside the Changling Tomb tonight.

When this shouting stopped, a new shouting rushed like a river flowing eastward.

The shouts of tens of thousands of strong men were like rolling thunder in winter, which was enough to shake the hearts of those loyal to the Han family, and enough to tremble the hearts of those enemies.

Bursts of shouts stretched inside and outside Changling, and in this endless shouting, Liu Bei took the four princes behind him and walked towards the high platform step by step.

Every time he approached the top of the high platform, especially as the figures of the three Mi Yang on the high platform were seen more and more clearly by Liu Bei,

The smile on Liu Bei's face became more and more.

Since all the Hanchen lowered their heads to welcome Liu Bei's arrival, they did not pay attention to the objects held in the arms of the four princes behind Liu Bei.

That object was nothing else, it was the tablet of Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and others.

I still remember that outside Xinye City, it was such a moonlit night.

He led his men and sisters around a campfire outside Shinno Castle, snuggling up to each other.

Xinye is a small city that cannot be compared to Chang'an.

That bonfire was hastily constructed by a few people, and it couldn't be compared to the high platform in his eyes.

But Liu Bei will never forget that night, because he feels that the fire that night is the warmest he has ever felt in his life.

It was also because of a promise they had made in the bright moonlight that night, when they were talking and laughing freely.

Although some people are no longer there, how can they forget their promises?

I'm going to take you with me!

Liu Bei's footsteps are very fast, so fast that others don't think that he is an old man who is close to old age.

The height of more than ten zhang, under Liu Bei's vigorous pace, did not take much time to cross it.

When Liu Bei stepped on the top of the stage, under the guidance of the ceremonial officials, the shouts inside and outside the Changling Tomb that were so startled that the dark clouds retreated gradually stopped, and the hundreds of Hanchen who leaned over gradually raised their heads.

At this moment, Liu Bei led his princes and turned to face the Hanchen below.

As soon as the hundred Hanchen raised their heads, with the help of the bright firelight, many of them saw at a glance the spirit cards held in the arms of Liu Chan and other princes.

Han Chen, who was a little far away, might not be able to read the name on the spirit card clearly, but the actions of several princes were enough to make them feel completely shocked.

Who does the tablet in their arms belong to, and who can let the nobles of Tianhuang hold the tablet and present it on this New Year's Day?

And Hanchen, who was close, could see the words on the spirit card at a glance.

Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong......

After realizing that it was these people who received such posthumous honor, their hearts burst out with different emotions.

The eyes of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Mi Yang and others slowly became moist, and their hearts were filled with strong thoughts and gratitude.

But there are still some Hanchen like Xu Ci who feel that Liu Bei's move is inappropriate and really violates the law of etiquette.

Especially as Xu Ci, who is too often, when he saw the name on the spirit card for the first time, Xu Ci, who was stroking his beard, was so shocked that he almost didn't tear off his beard.

As soon as possible, Xu Ci wanted to speak out to persuade Liu Bei.

If it's just Guan Yu, he has just been posthumously crowned king, and it is not impossible to turn a blind eye a little.

But Mi Zhu, Sun Gan, Jian Yong and other official positions before their lives were only Jiuqing at most, and Sun Qian and Jian Yong had not even entered the level of Jiuqing.

How can a courtier of such an identity afford the honor of the prince's personal spiritual position?

There is no difference between holding the spiritual position and supporting the coffin.

But before Xu Ci could say the first sentence, Liu Bei took over Guan Yu's spiritual position from Liu Chan's arms, and then said loudly to the Hanchen below:

"I know that many people are curious about who the prince of the Han Dynasty is holding in his hand."

"I'm going to tell Qing and the others that what they are holding in their hands is the spirit cards of Yun Chang, Zizhong, Gongyou, Xianhe and others!"

With the advantage of condescending and Liu Bei's voice full of anger, his words could be easily heard by many Hanchen below.

Even if some ministers couldn't hear Liu Bei's words clearly because they were too far away, there would be courtesy officials on the side to pass them on layer by layer to ensure that Liu Bei's words reached the ears of every Han Chen.

When they heard who those spirit tablets belonged to, many Han Chen's faces showed a look of shock.

These are the people?

Liu Bei had long expected that many Hanchen would have such a reaction.

It's just that they shouldn't

Do you deserve this honor?

"King Goethe of Xiwen, King Goethe, King Wu Gexing. The lord of the world, the body of the tree, is not the only time, but also by the foundation of the plant, the light in the afterlife also.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Wang Gang abandoned the handle, and the heroes rose together, and it was difficult to conclude the service, and the people were ruined.

So I felt it, and at first I was from Yan and Xu, and I went through the expedition.

Since then, they have been with each other.

Today's Han Dynasty Xinyi is focused on the four seas, majestic and solemn, and can be called rejuvenation!

In the past, I was with them, and now I should be honored and shared!

In addition, the woman is fierce and dangerous, and the heavenly expedition has not been added, and the Xiangshi of the Menglu is the master of the law, and the battle must be fought in Mingtiao.

Tianlu has a constant, aspiring to unification, and wants to repay this ambition, but virtuous and virtuous.

What is virtuous?

What the princes do today, yes!"

Liu Bei said all the thoughts in his heart.

And after listening to Liu Bei's thoughts, all the doubts in the minister's heart dissipated.

Because Liu Bei clearly stated in his words that the reason why he wanted to give Guan Yu, Mi Zhu and others such honors today was because of their past efforts.

In addition, he wants to use his actions to tell the people of the world that the Han Dynasty values loyal ministers and good ministers.

As long as he is a loyal and good person of the Great Han, then the Great Han will honor him as much as possible.

This is an important embodiment of virtue that Liu Bei believes.

Liu Bei also believes that only by doing this can the Han Dynasty dominate the world in the future.

In addition, Liu Bei also vaguely expressed one thing:

Do you think that today's banquet was held for him Liu Bei to sing praises for his virtues?

It's good to sing the praises of virtue, but it's not for him alone.

The object of today's praise should be those who have served for the revival of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei is definitely a person who does what he says.

"Hussar General!"

Before he could return to the throne, Liu Bei couldn't wait to call Ma Chao.

And after hearing Liu Bei suddenly call out to himself, Ma Chao's first reaction was to be stunned.

He understood the deep meaning of Liu Bei's words, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to be the first to think of him.

But Ma Chao's reaction was still very fast, and after being slightly stunned, Ma Chao hurriedly walked out from the side and bowed to Liu Bei:

"The minister is here!"

Looking at Ma Chao's majestic figure, Liu Bei's eyes were complicated, just like his opinion of Ma Chao.

But regardless of his previous views, Ma Chao's dedication to Dahan in recent years is enough for him to make today's move.

"The hussars are strong, even the horizontal is subordinate, the first thing is Sanqin, and the Lianglong is protected. The plan is in the court, and if you go out, you will die, and if you retreat, you will sit down. First guard Yinping, and then restore Tongguan, strong and strong, loyal and brave!

Today, there are 3,000 hussar generals, and the son of the Ma clan can be the heir to inherit the incense!"

When Liu Bei's spread throughout the entire high platform, an exclamation almost appeared on the entire high platform.

They all guessed that Liu Bei was going to reward the meritorious ministers tonight, but what they didn't expect was that Liu Bei would open up as soon as he came up!

Why don't you drink some wine and moisten it first?
