Chapter 60: Sacrifice to the Ancestors
Wang Su and other ministers stood on the road, bowing their heads, waiting for the emperor's car.
At this moment, many Sangong, Jiuqing, and even the important ministers of Shangshutai are standing on the road.
None of them could have imagined that the war would go so smoothly.
They also thought that this war would definitely last for a long time, but they didn't wait too long at all, and were doing everything in Luoyang, so they learned the news that Jiang Wei's troops were defeated and retreated to the Sword Pavilion.
As soon as the ministers were happy to subdue Hanzhong, they heard that Shu had surrendered and Wei had won a complete victory.
Nowadays, the entire Wei state is talking about it.
From the important ministers to the people at the bottom.
Everyone is talking about it.
Whether it is the titular commander of Shu Zhuge Dan, or the emperor who drove the expedition, his reputation at this moment has reached a certain height.
Especially Cao Chao.
After the destruction of the Shu Kingdom, he is really a king that no one can shake.
Not to mention Sima Zhao, even if Sima Shi and Sima Yi climbed out, they couldn't pose any threat to him.
Wu is okay, Shu has been a problem for Wei since the founding of the country.
After all, these people called themselves the Great Han, and the orthodoxy of the Wei State came from the Zen Rang of the Great Han.
The war between the two sides is a battle of orthodoxy.
Both sides felt that they were orthodox and the successors of the Han Empire.
Although Shu has not had much impact on Wei over the years, and its destructive power is limited, Jiang Wei, who is like a natural disaster, continues to appear in Yongliang, which even makes the Wei people accustomed to it.
Suddenly, the kingdom of Shu perished.
The entire Wei country was boiling, and even grand celebrations were held in various places, among which there were some people who wanted to flatter Cao Chao, leading the people to make a huge noise, but this was really useful, anyway, it strengthened Cao Chao's status.
At this moment, the ministers stood respectfully on the side of the road.
Cao Chao's frame hadn't even appeared in the distance, but they had already entered the state of meeting the emperor, bowing their heads, maintaining solemnity, and not saying a word.
This can also see Cao Chao's huge prestige at the moment.
The ministers didn't know how long they waited, and finally, the army slowly appeared in the distance.
The elite armor soldiers commanded by Yin Damu opened the way, they wore heavy armor, and walked towards here step by step, the armor collided, making a loud and rhythmic sound, and the faces of the ministers became more and more solemn.
Cao Chao's biggest gain in this battle is that he once again strengthened his position in the hearts of the soldiers.
The armor of Great Wei was Cao Chao's staunchest supporter, after all, Cao Chao treated them very well.
And through this war of annihilation, Cao Chao will promote a large number of soldiers, and these soldiers who have been promoted by Cao Chao will become Cao Chao's staunch supporters and expand his power in the army.
The armor soldiers kept coming, passing by the courtiers, and they had set up a long line of defense here.
The Emperor's car finally appeared in the distance.
In the expectant eyes of the ministers, the frame of the Son of Heaven stopped in front of the ministers.
"Meet Your Majesty!!"
The ministers bowed in the direction of the frame.
Cao Chao, who was wearing armor, walked out of the car and looked at the ministers in the distance, the ministers all surrendered in front of him, and no one dared to slack off.
Cao Chao didn't go down to support them, and said loudly: "Return to Luoyang!" ”
The ministers hurriedly got up, stood in two rows, and began to lead the way in front, and the frame of the Son of Heaven followed the crowd and set off towards Luoyang City.
Cao Chao just stood on the car and entered Luoyang City again.
The road has long been under martial law, ordinary people can not come out, surrounded by the ministers, the frame of the Son of Heaven came all the way to the palace.
Cao Chao finally got out of the car, and he led the ministers and walked in the direction of the ancestral temple.
The ancestral temple of the Great Wei Dynasty is dedicated to the three emperors, Taizu, Gaozu, and Liezu.
Only the emperor who was given the temple number could have a formal place of worship.
When Cao Chao led the ministers to his ancestral temple, the ministers worshiped again, but Cao Chao continued to move forward.
"Descendants are fashionable, destroy Shu today, and use the right name Shuo! Specially led a hundred officials to pay tribute to the ancestors!! ”
Cao Chao cautiously saluted in the direction of the three emperors.
Goodbye, ministers.
"The descendants are fashionable, they must be unremitting, and then capture the Lord of Wu, and unify the whole industry! The special leader told the ancestors!! ”
Cao Chao worshiped again.
Goodbye, ministers.
Cao Chao immediately ordered Pei Xiu to slaughter the livestock, and used the captured flags, seals, ribbons and other items for sacrifice, and told Cao Wei that the emperors of Cao Wei had nothing to do, and I did it!
Next, it is almost to destroy the Wu State, if the Wu State can be destroyed, then Cao Chao's status is afraid that he can directly overtake Cao Pi, and the genealogy will open a single page.
After completing these major events, Cao Chao followed the ministers to the Taiji Palace.
Cao Chao sat on the top seat, and the ministers sat on both sides.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the destruction of Shu!! Your Majesty is a martial artist, Endeze is covered with Huaxia, and the subjects feel virtuous, and they all weep."
Wang Su was the first to jump out to congratulate Cao Chao.
This old man is worthy of being a classic debater, he said this quite sensually, spoke very fast, and spoke for a long time, anyway, he has always been praising Cao Chao, saying that under Cao Chao's kindness, the people are crying all kinds of things, and the cultivated land that has not grown crops for many years has suddenly grown grain.
Cao Chao muttered in his heart: Is it because of the tears of those people who are too excited?
What celestial phenomena, what disappearances, what saints once said, anyway, the prince will come as soon as he opens his mouth.
Cao Chao didn't interrupt him, just waited patiently for him to finish.
After he finished speaking, Cao Chao was about to speak, but Wang Chang jumped out again.
"Your Majesty, someone saw a Rui beast in Yuancheng, its appearance was like a horse, white head, red tail, covered with tiger markings, and the chirping sound was like a high song, and pedestrians saw this Rui beast singing towards the height of Yuancheng, and then disappeared!"
"The minister watched the classics, looked through the ancient texts, and learned that this Rui beast was called Lu Shu, and His Majesty was in Yuancheng, so the minister guessed that this was a sign from God that His Majesty would get Lu and Shu, and it was a symbol of great unification!!"
Wang Chang said excitedly, and the ministers nodded one after another.
Cao Chao pursed his lips, it's embarrassing for you.
I found a lot of Rui beasts to make this up, right?
If it weren't for the fact that Naigong had read the book a little and knew that this beast was a symbol of a full house of children and grandchildren, he would have believed your nonsense!
Wang Chang proposed to change the name of the year to the first year of Shenlu.
But Cao Chao didn't promise him, Zhengyuan's name is used well, what did you do with it?
Besides, Zhengyuan, Zhengben Kaiyuan, isn't this better than what kind of deer you are?
The loss is to see the Shu deer, if you see Dangkang, is it going to be called the first year of the divine pig?
The ministers didn't care about this, anyway, they all reported good news, because of the influence of metaphysics, everyone generally believed that when something big happened in the world, it would be accompanied by some visions.
Hearing that what they said was so true, Cao Chao did not refute it.
After all, this still seems to be very helpful for improving self-confidence, anyway, those low-level people and armor soldiers are very comfortable with this, they can believe that they can achieve great unification, which is good.
After a lot of useless foreplay, Cao Chao finally decided to get straight to the point.
"Spread the word An Le Gong into the palace!!"
Cao Chao said loudly.
Liu Chan led his former prince at this moment and hurriedly walked into the Taiji Palace.
The eyes of the ministers immediately condensed on him, which made Liu Chan very uneasy, and he visited Cao Chao in great trepidation.
Cao Chao said with a smile: "An Legong, you can return to your fiefdom in the future, if anyone among your old ministers is willing to follow you, then I can pardon him and stay." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
Cao Chao immediately said the content of the rewards for the generals who participated in the war this time.
The first is Zhuge birthday, Jin Jue is certain, he was originally a marquis of Guannei, Cao Chao directly named him a county marquis, and on the official title, his three dukes have come to an end, therefore, several of his heirs are named marquis of Guannei, and he is rewarded with privileges such as not entering the court and visiting the name.
Then there was Deng Ai, Cao Chao said Deng Ai's merits, and then said his seemingly arrogant behavior in Shu, and finally the merits were offset by demerits, deposing his officials and letting him reflect in Luoyang.
Then Zhong Hui, Zhong Hui of course went further, from Tinghou to County Hou.
Cao Chao is still very generous to his own people, his idea is very simple, do something for me, then you can't be wronged, treatment and benefits, what can be given must be in place.
Many generals who went out on the expedition were rewarded, and Ma Long, who had made great contributions, was named the general of Pingxi by Cao Chao and went to command the Yongliang army.
Wen Yang took a step further from the miscellaneous general, General Anbei, to replace the previous one and go to Youzhou.
The rest of them, such as Cheng Qi and others, have also changed from captains to generals, and they have also obtained corresponding titles.
There were a lot of people who participated in the war, but Cao Chao kept them all in mind, and they didn't ask Zhang Hua, so they said in detail the content of the rewards and rewards for everyone.
In the end, Cao Chao cleared his throat and looked at Zheng Yuan.
Zheng Yuan got up and began to talk about the administrative planning and appointment of Shu.
The ministers still seemed to attach great importance to this matter, and they all listened carefully.
Liu Chan was standing in the hall at the moment, listening to them talk about this boring topic, he still had a different taste in his heart, he secretly observed Minister Cao Wei, and at this time, he suddenly saw an acquaintance!
Liu Chan was a little happy, and smiled at the acquaintance, indicating closeness.
At this moment, this acquaintance was a little dazed.
That's right, he is Luo Xian.
Luo Xian never thought that he would endure it, and he would actually endure his new colleague, Liu Chan!!
When Liu Chan smiled at him, Luo Xian's "Dao Heart" almost collapsed.
No, didn't I come here to assassinate Emperor Cao Wei??
Why did the Kingdom of Shu perish first?!
So what am I going to do next?
I'm really going to be a surrenderer??
No, it seems that the entire Shu Kingdom is now a surrenderer, and even the emperor is smirking at himself!
Luo Xian watched this scene in amazement, and he didn't react until the emperor's reward came down.
The mountain legion he trained made great achievements in this time, so Luo Xian was entitled.
