Cao Song had no idea that by leaving, he would embark on a journey westward with no return, and that his son would no longer have any hope of taking over Xuzhou in the short term.
At the same time, Liu Bei's side also started formal sacrifices. Under the leadership of Liu Bei, they entered from the east gate and walked towards the Jingling Hall.
This time, everyone in Taishan changed their original casualness. They all wore black linen clothes and followed Liu Bei slowly towards the Jingling Hall. Naturally, Li You was also among them.
Jushou felt relieved when he saw that Li You was among the group of people following Liu Bei, and that he was not compatible with the other people. [It seems that Li You really does not belong to the people in Taishan's government system. This way I felt relieved and could make plans for the future. ] Jushou thought silently.
This time, Chen Xi and others did not pay attention to Jushou, because this sacrifice is very important. Liu Bei's performance will shock Jushou. After all, he is a self-made overlord, and his personality charm is very important. Chen Xi and others are thinking about Liu Bei. What will be said and what promises will be made when the time comes?
[This is the overlord of the Central Plains. If he doesn’t have a shocking aspect, how can he win people’s hearts and convince so many heroes! 】Jushou watched Liu Bei slowly walking towards the altar in front of the Jingling Hall, his aura becoming more and more magnificent. Compared with Liu Xuande who was a thief who wanted a beautiful woman the day before yesterday but was too embarrassed to open his mouth, Liu Bei at this moment was in line with the situation. The image of the overlord in the mind of the hand.
"Burn incense!" Zuo Ci watched Liu Bei step in from the main entrance and said to his disciples. After the three animal sacrifices were placed, Zuo Ci handed the incense to Liu Bei, "Please burn incense, Mr. Xuande."
Liu Bei put the incense in the incense burner with a calm expression, and slowly stood up while looking at the tall commemorative monument. The civil and military officials who followed followed closely and inserted the burning incense into the incense burner.
There was silence. Soldiers in armor inserted incense into the incense burner outside the altar. All that could be heard was the friction of the armor. The whole place was solemn. In such an atmosphere, even Jushou, who was originally indifferent, was affected by the environment. The expression on his face became solemn under the influence. Zhuge Liang and others who were watching the ceremony from a distance also stared at the huge black wordless monument in awe. Even Sima Yi, who was dismissive of the sacrifice, retracted his words and stared at the huge monument silently. monument.
"Today, the world is in chaos and the Han Dynasty is in decline. Since I, Liu Xuande, am a royal family member of the Han Dynasty, I am willing to guard one side of the Han Dynasty and ensure its peace! Soldiers are a tool for development, a defensive force, and the cornerstone of the country! The stability of the Han Dynasty and the prosperity of the family and country , are all protected by you, the peace of the world, and the prosperity of the people are all due to your struggle!" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he bowed in the direction of the huge wordless monument, then turned and saluted all the soldiers under the altar.
"Crash." The moment Liu Bei bowed, all the soldiers knelt down.
"What I, Liu Xuande, have said is true. The dead will enjoy their glory and the living will benefit from it. Those who dare to deprive the living of their benefits will die, and those who dare to exploit the glory of the dead will die! At this time of year, as long as I am alive, I will offer sacrifices. If I were not here, I would I also know how to offer sacrifices! For the good men who shed their last drop of blood for the Han family, I will never allow their living family to be insulted! What I said today is a lesson for all people and gods!" Liu Bei said calmly, no matter how difficult it is, he will do it overcome.
"I hope that under my rule, I will have a house to live in, my illness will be treated, I will be diligent, I will be rewarded for my hard work, my children will be educated, and my elders will be supported. I, Liu Xuande, am willing to fight for this!" Liu Bei shouted loudly, "From today on From now on, all school-age children in our Qingzhou, Taishan, can go to school. I, Liu Xuande, would like to thank the Zhen family of Jizhou and the Mi family of Xuzhou for providing the money and food needed for this in Qingzhou!"
"Lord, benevolent!" The chaotic roars in the audience finally turned into this sentence. All the soldiers had seen the latest benefits. What they were most afraid of was that these benefits would end up in vain, and today Liu Bei Station Swear to the heaven, earth, man, and gods on the altar, and do what you say!
Jushou stood at the altar management office and looked at Liu Bei who was standing on it, and a feeling of shock emerged, [Liu Bei does have the shortcomings of a person from a lower class, but he does have the qualifications to create a hegemony. The shouts and roars in his ears , Cheers, people's morale, and military morale. This is Liu Bei's confidence! 】
"Kong Ming, are you sure you want to stay in Mount Tai?" Zhuge Jin looked at Zhuge Liang's firm eyes and asked, although he already knew the answer.
"I want to stay here. His dream is very similar to my ideal. We have too many similarities. The old have support and the young have education. I am willing to believe that he can create the era that saints have always dreamed of." Zhuge Liang said firmly, "Tell uncle, I will not go to Jingzhou. Instead of waiting like a hermit for the arrival of the destined lord, I would rather believe in Liu Xuande in front of me!"
"What do you think of Zhongda?" Sima Lang grabbed the window frame with his right hand, and his white knuckles were enough to show how shocked he was now.
"The world cannot be conquered by virtue. There must be darkness under the light. Liu Xuande's road is impassable." Sima Yi looked at Liu Bei, and there was actually a trace of heartbeat under the seemingly calm face. It was so brilliant and warm. It was like a fire, calling him to run towards Liu Bei's flame like a moth.
"Zhongda, what's wrong with you?" Sima Lang asked in confusion as he watched Sima Yi slowly walking outside.
"I'm leaving Taishan. Liu Xuande's road is impassable, but that kind of brilliance washes the dark corners. I don't want to sacrifice my life for an impassable ideal. If I continue, I'm afraid I will also be obsessed with fantasy. The young are taught, the old are supported, this is how a saint governs the world, but you, Liu Xuande, are not a saint!" Sima Yi finally looked back at Liu Bei standing at the top of the altar, and walked directly downstairs without looking back.
[Mr. Xuande, you are indeed qualified for me to call you Gong. Your brilliance is enough to dazzle everyone in the world. It's a pity that since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, so many sages have struggled for it for two thousand years and finally couldn't do it. You can escape. Well, Wang Mang had the same feelings as you at the beginning, to let the tillers have land, the old to have support, and the young to have education, but in the end he could never turn over. Mr. Xuande, my mind cannot accept this inevitable ending. What I want to wait for is not this kind of pure brilliance. 】 Sima Yi walked down the restaurant silently and drank a glass of wine, his eyes flashing coldly.
"Only darkness can set off the light. Since the light must fail, then leave honor for it. Liu Xuande must not let me down. If you cannot keep what you say today, then the only ones left in history will be Wang Mang and Wang Mang." Similar insults." Sima Yi muttered to himself, then walked toward the door alone.
"Zhongda, where are you going?" Sima Lang walked down the second floor and looked at Sima Yi who had already stepped out.
"Go to my teacher. I want to study for a while, and then find a wise master, a master who can achieve great things. Liu Xuande's approach will not work!" Sima Yi walked towards Fenggaowai without looking back. (To be continued.)
