Chapter 409 Enthronement
The tripartite alliance of Cao, Sun and Liu, it took no two months to die before and after, and it can be regarded as ten years of Rongma.
The father and son of the Ma family did not disappoint Lu Bu and Lin Mo, and it was completed during this period from the Battle of Xiakou to the recovery of the three states of Yuyi, Jiao and Jing.
Of course, this is not too difficult in itself, for example, Jingzhou, Xiangyang, a hard bone with Cai Mao and Pang Tong, it is not too easy to take, and Jiangling is in civil strife, without spending a single soldier.
In Yizhou's case, there was no use of troops, and officials at all levels clearly knew that it would not take long for Yizhou to change the sky, and when the news of the defeat of the coalition army spread, they took the initiative to accept this fact.
As for Jiaozhou, it was Pang De who personally led the troops there, and he didn't do anything, but only made the local officials realize what the mandate of heaven could not violate.
Normally, it takes half a year to recover a state and stabilize it, and it takes three months at the earliest.
Let's not talk about every county seat, but you must go to the county government, you can't even know who your own master is, right?
This time, the reason why we were able to collect three states in such a short period of time is because we skipped the problem of soothing the people.
In the past, in addition to letting officials at all levels know their masters, they also had to visit local families, and at critical times, they had to hire people, food, and money, and hoped that the other party would support them more.
Now, there's no need for that.
Moreover, the ceremony is imminent, and time does not allow them to do these things.
The Ma family father and son were on their way back, but the express arrived first.
There is a lot of content, but it is all specially explained by Lin Mo before, for example, after taking Xiangyang City, Cao Cao's family was treated favorably, and everything was supplied by the government office, so there was no need to worry about living a life.
When Jiangling City was broken, Cao Ren and Cao Ang were tied up by five flowers, and their identities were destined to have no way to survive in the world, so they were just a month behind Cao Cao.
Xun You returned to Yingchuan, Lin Mo didn't embarrass him, and after listening to Du Xi and them talk about what Xun You did when he was in Xiangyang, he still admired it in his heart, the two representatives of the Xun family, Xun Yu and Xun You, are all contemporary heroes.
Cheng Yu has been an official for more than ten years, and it is very difficult for him to go back to Xianyun Yehe, he took the initiative to go to Xuchang to ask to see Lin Mo, this cannibalistic sage, also entered Taifuqing and became Jia Xu's subordinate, which is called gathering like things.
Sun Ce didn't need to chase the remnants of the forces, the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangbiao were dead, the owners changed hands, and the Sun family was also wiped out, and it was the easiest to recover it in Jiaozhou.
If you want to say regrets, there is only one Zhuge Liang left who could not be found.
In fact, everyone knows that Zhuge Liang's role is more like a pair of wings, he can only take off if he is embedded in the body of a giant dragon, and alone, in fact, he can't do anything.
What's more, if it is decided today, he doesn't have any ability to flutter at all, the reason why he wants to find him is that Lin Mo is more concerned about the initial decision of the new dynasty, and he needs a virtuous minister who governs the country too much.
If you really can't find it, it doesn't matter, after all, he is also a man who keeps saying that he supports the Han family.
After the dust settled, it was time for the court to force the palace, and above the golden palace, Zhen Rong, who was already ready to go, was the first to jump out and make a difficulty, "Your Majesty! Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the world has been full of wolves, the people are struggling to make a living, the society is hanging upside down, and the country is about to collapse.
It is Taiwei who has leveled the rebellion in the troubled times, swept the eight wildernesses, swept away the Liuhe, and finally made the Qiankun Haiyan River clear after more than ten years of wind and rain.
Please Your Majesty plan for the common people in the world, and follow the path of the Holy Monarch to let Yu Taiwei! ”
Since the Central Plains War, the two of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks hit it off, and they hated each other, and since then they have tacitly integrated, but whenever the Phoenix Chicks are present, whenever Wolong speaks, the Phoenix Chicks will definitely echo, so Guo Tu stood up.
"Your Majesty, the Han family has lasted for four hundred years, and it has long been like a rotten wood in the wind, but it is just that the Taiwei is struggling to support it with his own strength, and the Han family has not collapsed is not Your Majesty's work, but the virtue of the Taiwei.
But the hearts of the people in the world understand that this Han family has exhausted its qi, and please ask Your Majesty to focus on the overall situation, and let Yu Taiwei be conceded! ”
After the two spoke, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty came out except for Lu Bu, and even Lin Mo stood up without any suspicion, and everyone tacitly bowed their hands and said: "Please Your Majesty accept the advice of Guo Erchen and give way to Xian!" ”
Sincere advice?
Poof
Liu Xie, who was on the dragon chair, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
A good piece of advice, a good Lu Fengxian, a good Lin Yunwen.
These days, Liu Xie has been thinking about a question, when they are all ready, when they are forced to force the palace above the court, what should they do?
The chance for the Jedi to fight back is gone, and the dying struggle can certainly let future generations see the last bit of the backbone of the Han family, which seems to be better than giving up the position.
However, Lin Mo talked to him once before forcing the palace, and the content was concise and to the point, as the old yin said, if you don't give in, you will fall from the sky, and Liu Xie is the king of the country, and Han Shi is dead in his hands.
Lin Mo's intentions are really vicious, but at the same time, he also reminded Liu Xie that Chan Rang would not be pointed out by future generations.
Although he acquiesced to this option in his heart, he was also afraid that when he really faced it, the dignity of being an emperor would make him unacceptable and collapse.
But he didn't expect that when he heard the courtiers make him the king of the dead country, his heart would be so calm.
Maybe it's because I've made up this kind of picture countless times in my heart; Perhaps on the night of the failed operation, he had already acquiesced to this result; Or maybe it's too painful, the pain is not in the present, but in the future.
Everyone has something that they are afraid of but have to face, but when you really face it, you will actually find that it is not as scary as you imagined.
Liu Xie didn't cry, didn't refute, just got up slowly, and looked at the full court with a mocking face, "If I scold you for being full of Han Lu but acting rebellious, it will seem that I am pedantic."
Since all the ministers think that this is a word of loyalty, if I don't accept it, I will be stupid.
Strike, strike, strike, I got it. ”
A forced palace that was originally just a formality ended before it began, which was of course very satisfying in Lu Bu's opinion, but the courtiers with little merit and little virtue in the court felt that Liu Xie was a little too uncompetitive, you have to struggle, the lines they prepared early in advance didn't have a chance to perform in front of Lu Bu, what a faint king.
From beginning to end, Liu Xie's expression seemed very natural, and after saying this, he walked down the jade steps.
However, when he had completed the last step, he suddenly realized something.
Probably, this is the last pilgrimage meeting in my life.
Probably, this is also the last court meeting of the Han family.
It can't be said that he is reluctant, but the emotions that have been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally broke the embankment at this moment, tears rolled in his scarlet eyes, but the dignity of the emperor did not allow him to be cowardly in front of the courtiers.
Liu Xie turned his back to the ministers, facing the dragon chair that symbolized the supreme imperial power in the world, took a deep breath, and adjusted himself with a deep breath.
Everyone looked at the last emperor of the Han family, some were sad, some were embarrassed, and some were expressionless, but no one would say a word for him.
Because the people who dare to speak at this juncture have been cleared by Lin Mo.
Liu Xie finally raised his feet and walked up the jade steps again, but he didn't sit down in front of the dragon case, but just looked around at everyone again, and sighed lightly, "Retreat"
After speaking, he walked down the jade steps again, this time, without looking back.
Jia Xu personally divined the hexagram in the Taifu Yuan, and chose the third day of the third month of March as an auspicious day, Liu Xiexan let him, and Lu Bu ascended the throne.
The high platform prepared for Chan Rang and Feng outside Xuchang City was actually completed during the Battle of Xiakou, of course, at that time, it was claimed that it was a high platform used to worship the sky.
On the third day of the third month of March, Liu Xie wore a dark dragon robe for the last time, standing on the high platform, a huge copper tripod was placed on the high platform, higher than a person, the bonfire around the copper tripod was raging, and the guard of honor on both sides sounded the horn that needed to be carried by people to raise it, and told the sky.
Below, hundreds of officials lined up to worship, and the outer armor soldiers were stubborn.
Lu Bu, who was also wearing a python robe, climbed the stairs in a burst of melodious horns, and finally climbed to the top and stood side by side with Liu Xie on the side of the copper tripod.
Lu Bu didn't look at Liu Xie, but looked down at the officials and soldiers below.
It was also the first time he had come up, after all, only the emperor could stand on this top level.
Once upon a time, he firmly believed that the people standing here must have the heroism of looking at the mountains and the supremacy of the gods overlooking all beings.
In fact, he also thought so before the Zen Rang Dadian.
But when he really stood here, he didn't feel how hot this imperial power was in his mind, but felt that his shoulders suddenly became heavy.
Lu Bu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I haven't thought about how to make myself famous through the ages when I really take over the mountains and rivers from Your Majesty, if I can really do a good job as an emperor, I only hope that the tragedy of Jiuyuan will not happen again."
Yunwen once told me that no dynasty can really remain the same, and perhaps, one day, there will be other people standing here to replace me.
So, I feel like I'm able to do this during my reign."
The inexplicable words were just a mockery of him in Liu Xie's opinion, and he didn't even respond to Lu Bu's half a sentence, so he opened the holy decree in his hand and shouted loudly, "When Si Gai is on the sky, he doesn't dare not grant it, and he only gives the mandate of heaven, and he can't help it."
After Chan Rang finished reading the edict, Liu Xie enshrined the jade seal with both hands in front of Lu Bu, who looked at Lin Mo under the stage and was full of emotion.
Finally, he reached out and took the jade seal of the country.
This moment means that the 400-year-old Han is dead.
It also means that a new era has really begun.
Wearing a nine-pearl crown and wearing a dark python robe, Lu Bu held the jade seal of the country high above his head, and said loudly: "I, inherit the mandate of heaven, inherit the unification, from now on, the founding name is Yin, change the beginning of the Yuan, build the capital Pengcheng, and seal Emperor Xun Liu Xie as the Duke of Dongguan!" ”
When the voice fell, all the officials in the audience knelt down and bowed, including Liu Xie, and said in unison: "My emperor has no time for ten thousand years!" ”
The accession to the throne is now complete.
However, this is not the end, there will be a series of sacrificial activities in the future, and it will be carried out for three consecutive days, which is not grand.
After that, it was time to move the capital, and the palace had not yet been fully built in Pengcheng, the birthplace, and it would take time, so it would have to wait.
Anyway, there are still some things that need to be done before that.
For example, the prestige of the Protectorate of the Western Regions was rebuilt.
The Western Regions Protectorate was originally established during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, in addition to controlling the Xiongnu, there were more than 30 small states attached to the surrounding areas, and later the Hetao area was cleared, which further strengthened the centralization of the Western Regions Protectorate.
However, by the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many rebellions in Liangzhou, which directly led to the weakening of the centralized power of the Imperial Protectorate, and some small countries had begun to pay tribute.
This time Chan Rang enthroned the ceremony, the only one who did not go to Xuchang was Zhang Xiu, not that he didn't want to come, but that in addition to controlling Liangzhou, his biggest responsibility was to let the Western Regions Protectorate return to the centralized power it should have at its peak.
However, he really can't do it on his own.
In addition to force, this matter also needs civil governance.
After thinking about it again, it was decided to let the Ma family father and son take people back, and Xu Shu was also sent along.
After Lu Bu ascended the throne, he did not immediately give grace to the world according to the convention, except for the amnesty of the world, he did not even adjust the taxes, after all, the world was all brought down by himself, and these taxes were tentatively negotiated by Lin Mo and several important officials, so it can be said that he was absolutely benevolent to the people.
As for the hundred officials above the court, they didn't actually move much, if they had to say it, that is, Zhang Liao took over his position as a lieutenant and general, and Zhao Yun took over the position of General Wei, and no one dared to complain.
But for Zhang Liao, it was not his life to die in the court of decay and old age, and he asked to lead troops to Yanmen without waiting to move the capital.
As for Zhao Yun, he came over and said that when he was in Youzhou, he saw too many alien offenses and humiliation of his fellow clans, so he wanted to go to Liaoxi, and then fight all the way east until Goguryeo Wang Youju came out and surrendered.
Gan Ning wanted to go back to Guangling, and there were also Japanese people in the coastal area, but in the past, it was just because the civil war had not ended, and there was no time to clean them up, and now they dare not come over.
There are many, many places where money is needed, but in fact, this time is not suitable for large-scale war.
However, after Lu Bu and Lin Mo discussed, the only one who really used a lot of money should be Zhao Yun, and it was not completely impossible to fall tightly, plus these are brothers who have come through ups and downs for many years, so there is no reason to refuse, so they can only agree to it.
Even the day of leaving the city is set on the same day.
On this day, Lu Bu, who was wearing a dragon robe, personally went out of the city to see him off, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Xu Shu, Fa Zheng, and Pang Tong gathered at the door, this scene made Lu Bu a little sad.
After all, in the past, he was mostly leading the team, but today, he put on a dragon robe, and then looked at the old robe and armor, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.
The words of farewell are very simple, most of them are Lu Bu's warning, you must give me back within two years, otherwise military law will be involved.
Anyone can hear that this is not a military order, this is Lu Bu's reluctance to them.
Lin Mo, who was standing beside Lu Bu, took off the white rainbow sword on his waist and gave it to Zhang Liao, which was one of the few gifts he could hold and Zhang Liao could see at the same time.
Then, he gave the Seven Star Sword to Zhao Yun, and it seemed that in this way, he would be able to be more perfect.
"The hour has come, Your Majesty, and we should go." Zhang Liao reminded.
Lu Bu nodded, waved his hand, and said, "I am waiting for you in Pengcheng." ”
After the civil and military work, they all got on the horse to say goodbye.
Looking at their distant backs, Lu Bu felt a little bitter, perhaps to ease his mood, he hummed a small tune for no reason, "The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon flag rolls and neighses, the sword qi is like frost, the mind of the Yellow River is boundless, who can fight in the twenty years of vertical and horizontal."
The song he often hummed when he was in Pengcheng, Lin Mo felt very uncomfortable, but he still comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, they will come back in two years, they will." ”
Lin Mo knew that the real farewell, there was no Changting Ancient Road, no persuasion to have a glass of wine, just on an ordinary morning, some people would remain in their memories forever.
But ah.
If he said such hurtful words, he didn't dare to say it to Lu Bu.
"Hopefully."
Until their backs disappeared, Lu Bu did not return to the city, and sighed deeply, "Yunwen, Wenyuan is gone, Zilong is also gone, they are gone, I feel so lonely, maybe I miss the days when I was on the battlefield with them."
After a pause, Lu Bu added: "Perhaps, unconsciously, they have become the people who give me confidence, they are not around, I am very lonely, and I feel that I don't know how to govern this country well."
I once said that I hope that there will be no more Jiuyuan tragedy in this world, but this is a light statement, and if I really want to do this, how should I deal with it."
This time, Lin Mo didn't comfort him anymore, but took two steps back and folded his hands.
Lu Bu frowned and asked, "What do you do?" ”
When Lin Mo raised his head again, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yue, little son-in-law Lin Mo, I am willing to help Lord Yue." ”
At this moment, this situation and this scene are just like that moment, Xiao Guan's year.
