Chapter 978 Ascension to the Throne (Part 2)


Chapter 978 Ascension to the Throne (Part 2)

On the first day of winter, the weather was very cold.

On this day, soldiers and civilians from all directions came to Luoyang.

The Silver Spear Army, the Yi Cong Army, the Proton Army, and the various branch troops stationed in the suburbs that had just suppressed the rebellion, totaling tens of thousands of people, stood in the wind with majestic momentum.

Scholars from Henan, Hanoi, Hongnong, Xingyang, Xiangcheng and other nearby areas, as well as people from Luoyang, also gathered around to watch.

At this time, it was still dark, and more and more people gathered, reaching more than ten thousand.

Zeng Yi led a group of Yellow Head Army soldiers to maintain order.

He stood on the east side of the inner circle, mainly maintaining order among the officials and ministers.

The altar stands high, with a radius of several hundred steps. The front of the altar was repeatedly tamped down to form a huge square.

Five minutes before the end of the night (approximately six o'clock in the morning), officials came in with their animals.

Zeng Yi watched the excitement while observing the officials not far away.

Most of them came from Bianliang.

Going east in June and west again in October is quite a struggle.

Jia music was played in the middle of the field, but Zeng Yi couldn't understand it and didn't think it was very pleasant. Anyway, it was music for sacrificial rituals, which was too far away from his daily life.

Taichang officials walked around the sacrificial animals. Sometimes some people spoke, sometimes some people knelt down and answered.

After a long time, he took the animal away and handed it over to the cook Ding.

Other people began to prepare wine vessels, using tile bottles to hold the wine, and tile wafers to pour the wine, and placed them on the east and west straw mats.

The whole process is orderly and very lengthy.

The officials standing in the east of the altar shrank back. It was so cold that even though they were wearing furs, they still felt the cold wind blowing into their bodies.

But what is surprising is that there is no trace of impatience on Prime Minister Wang Yan's face, and from time to time he looks at the officials who are whispering.

When those people saw Wang Yan looking over, they all shut up and looked solemn.

Zeng Yi was wearing leather armor and a cotton suit. It was cold but not unbearable.

His eyes were wandering around, looking around to see if there were any bad guys. He looked even more nervous than King Liang who was about to enter the altar to offer sacrifices.

After a while, officials arrived carrying blood and flesh.

These are all used to worship the gods.

If he were not the founding emperor but the emperor who defended the country, he would have sacrificed half of it in front of Taizu's throne, but King Liang himself was Taizu...

Unconsciously, the east sky was dimming, and the first ray of sunshine appeared. rising from the horizon.

The dark earth is about to usher in dawn.

"嘘嘚" The sound of horse hooves sounded in the periphery, as well as the faint sound of neat footsteps and the clang of equipment colliding.

The officials in Tandong heard the movement and stood in silence.

At this moment, no one is talking to each other anymore, and no one is bored anymore.

No matter how much you have soreness in your back and leg cramps, you have to hold on now, because the new king is here.

Public servants of the new dynasty, Tang Jian, the former prefect of Pingyang, and hundreds of halberd-wielding warriors and ceremonial guards, closely surrounded the golden root car.

At that time, the golden sun breaks out at dawn and shines on the earth.

The golden root car stopped, and the new king, wearing twelve crowns and a large fur coat, got out of the car, standing tall and majestic.

Zeng Yi couldn't help being attracted, and he felt a little excited in his heart.

For some reason, he remembered the scene when King Liang rescued him in the mud of Hebei.

He had been among the dead a few times, but his eyes were slightly moist.

They fought hard and finally sent King Liang here.

If he is not the emperor, who is qualified to be the emperor?

******

On the east side of the altar, Shao Xunfu got out of the car and was led to the corner of the altar by Taichang officials.

There are already ritual officials kneeling on the ground, holding pottery in their hands, and pouring wine on the ground - the wine used for sacrifices.

"Your Majesty is at your service." the official reminded in a low voice.

Shao Xun nodded slightly, lifted up the hem of Qiu Gun, and bowed to the ground.

"Xing." The official said loudly.

Shao Xun stood up.

A few dozen steps behind him, all the ministers and officials bowed down together under the guidance of the ceremonial officer.

"Xing." The official said loudly.

The ministers stood up.

"Your Majesty, please come with your attendants." Dr. Taichang came over and reminded in a low voice again, for fear that he would not pay attention to the process because he was busy with everything.

So Shao Xun walked around the altar from the south of the altar and stood in front of the south steps.

Not long after, Taichang Qing Cui Yu came quickly.

Mi Zhi, the former supervisor of the General's Mansion and the current Huangmen servant, also arrived.

Mi Zhi was knighted and awarded Shao Xun the title on his knees.

After Shao Xun took it, he handed it to the bottler, who drank some wine and handed it back to Shao Xun.

Shao Xun took a deep breath, stepped up the steps, went to the throne of the gods headed by God Haotian, knelt on the ground, and respectfully offered the wine.

"Xing." The official said loudly.

Shao Xun bowed again and stood up.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the wind miraculously stopped.

The golden sunshine falls on the body, making it warm.

There is a majestic power surging in the body, making people feel high-spirited.

Shao Xun stood facing south, looking at the dark crowd not far away. They were all his people.

Farther away, there are endless villages and countryside, as well as the majestic mountains and endless rivers, which are his country.

The sun is shining brightly and the country is picturesque. Now that the man is here, what more can he ask for?

At this moment, he felt that he was the most beloved person of Emperor Haotian and the gods of the five directions. He could defeat the bandits, turn the sky, and save China's destiny.

Several ceremonial officials went up to the altar, each drank wine, and then knelt down to offer sacrifices.

Shao Xun took it, drank it all, and then, under the guidance of Dr. Taichang, went down the east steps, walked around for a short half circle and then reached the south of the altar.

More than a hundred paces away, envoys from various tribes gathered.

Mrs. Dai Guotai Wang held Tuoba Lizhen’s little hand and looked at it carefully. The tall altar, the solemn atmosphere, the solemn occasion, and the endless crowd of spectators shocked her.

At the same time, there are also some indescribable little prides and little joys in my heart.

Such an indomitable and accomplished man, isn't he still...

She subconsciously squeezed Li Zhen's hand.

Three-year-old Tuoba Lizhen looked at his mother in confusion, and then subconsciously stretched out his hand to hug her.

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and whispered in Li Zhen's ear: "Li Zhen, don't talk nonsense today."

Tuoba Li Zhen was diverted and his little head turned around, trying to search for traces of his father. .

At the same time, I feel a little aggrieved. Why doesn’t my father hug me? Why don't you come and stay with me?

He really wanted to rush over and hug his father's thigh.

Wang Feng looked at his nephew nervously - no matter who the father was, as long as his sister gave birth to him, he must be his nephew.

It would be inappropriate and against etiquette not to allow Tuoba Lizhen to attend such an occasion. After all, his identity is here, but he is afraid that he will talk nonsense.

Li Zhen is three years old, speaks very early, and is very smart. If the word "father" suddenly pops out of his mouth, Wang Feng will not know how to step down.

So he always paid attention to his nephew and covered his mouth whenever something was wrong.

In addition, Wang Feng was also very emotional.

Today’s scene is really grand.

I heard from the old man that some members of the clan also participated in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in the southern suburbs of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, with tens of thousands of people from hundreds of people and barbarians attending.

Holding such a ceremony is a huge boost to people's hearts.

When he was in it, he felt the great majesty.

This is the atmosphere of the Huanghuang Dynasty, and the instructors and the people are divided.

Reminiscent of the process by which King Liang raised his troops to pacify the world, the Liang Dynasty seems to be more orthodox than the Jin Dynasty.

With this situation, I will immediately lose seven points.

******

The ceremony is still going on. For example, Taichang and Guanglu will also go on stage to offer sacrifices, which are called "Yaxian" and "Zhongxian" respectively. .

At this time, Shao Xun arrived at Tandong again.

The ceremony officials began to be busy, offering jade bis and animals beside the firewood altar.

The altar was filled with firewood. When the time came, Zhi Li issued an order, and three people went up with torches to light the firewood.

The rest of the people holding torches also lined up and threw their torches into the altar.

Shao Xun, led by Taichang Qing Cui Yu, climbed onto the altar again and stood facing south.

He slowly unfolded the expression in his hand.

This is used to inform God. In layman's terms, it means telling God that your son has changed. The son of Jin has become the son of Liang. From now on, I and my descendants will offer sacrifices to heaven.

The confession was recited by the new king himself and made public to the gods, also known as "confession".

"The emperor's ministers report to the emperor of heaven——"

"Since Yongjia, there have been many stories in Zhongxia, and they are not the same in the four seas. The person who calls the emperor is not one person, and the person who divides the territory is not the same region. Communicate with each other. Invade, wreak havoc on a place of oppression, causing destruction to all living beings When the chariots and books were not mixed, and the beacons continued, Qiuyi became a ruin. "

"I was favored by God, and I was so angry that I raised troops in Heluo."

" Point to the east, and the evil atmosphere will disappear;"

"The flag and drum went south, and the soldiers and the people were convinced;"

"The six armies made the northern expedition, and the fishy smell was gone;"

"The righteous troops came to the west, and the capital of Han Dynasty was restored."

" So get Set things right, restore order, and make the world unified. "

"The Emperor of Jin knew about the affairs of Yao and Shun and the principles of the Zen Dynasty, so he abdicated the great treasure to avoid the virtuous path."

"All the officials in the court came up to the table and said, 'All the plans cannot be left unattended for a long time.'"

"The princes of the four barbarians arrived by flying letters, saying, 'The destiny cannot be lost for a long time.'"
>
"The minister then went to the altar to receive Zen, as if at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty . The heart of heaven is followed, the desire of man is followed, Chai Liao tells each other, and God gives a clear warning. "

"Today, the world is amnesty, and the Yuan Dynasty is Kaiping."

After reading the last word, Shao Xun accepted it. As I write the essay, my mood is agitated.

At that time, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the golden sunshine filled the earth.

Everyone was immersed in an unspeakable atmosphere.

Shao Xun calmed down and quietly thought about his achievements in the first half of his life.

One sword and one gun, creating a peaceful and prosperous era.

One sparse letter and one letter can manage the lights of thousands of houses.

Can I be the emperor?

Of course you can!

The ministers and the people sing their praises.

The barbarians all want to be subdued.

Who else in this world would be better than me!

Who can compare to my ambition?

I don’t trust anyone else in this world. Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor is just the beginning.

A journey of a hundred miles is half a mile, and I am still on the road. I still have too many measures to take.

Half of the firewood was burned, the ceremony officer came back from his solemn mood and said loudly: "It's over."

Shao Xun got off the altar and stood under the east steps. .

"Long live my emperor!" Wang Yan took the lead, and the ministers knelt on the ground.

"Long live our emperor!" tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.

“Long live my emperor!” The people watching the ceremony shouted in harmony.

The wind blew suddenly!

Shao Xun was so excited that he raised his hands high and enjoyed the peak of his life.

This is called ruling the world!

(There is another chapter in the evening. Another one, shouting hoarsely for votes, calling Shao the thief to bear the responsibility.)
