In September of the first year of Yankang in the Han Dynasty, there was a widespread rumor in Shu that Emperor Liu Xie was killed by Cao Pi.
After Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, heard the news, he couldn't control his grief. He personally mourned the emperor Liu Xie and posthumously named Liu Xie the Xiaomin Emperor.
Because the Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty had been killed by Cao Pi, and because of the continuous auspiciousness in various places in Yizhou, some ministers with low status in Chengdu began to formally and publicly submit letters to Liu Bei to persuade Liu Bei to join.
These ministers include Yilang Yangquan Hou Liu Bao, Qingyi Hou Xiangju, partial generals Zhang Yi, Huang Quan, Zhang Shuang, Yin Mo, Qiao Zhou, etc.
These ministers were basically from Yizhou noble families and were widely famous in Yizhou.
In their letters to persuade Liu Bei to join him, most of them used scriptures and prophecies as reasons to persuade Liu Bei to proclaim himself emperor.
It is obvious that these Yizhou ministers are using their local influence in Yizhou to establish a public opinion basis for Liu Bei's move to proclaim himself emperor.
A few days after these Yizhou ministers wrote letters to persuade them to move forward, those ministers who really held great power or had high status began their formal efforts to persuade them to move forward.
General Wei Yu Jin, Grand Tutor Xu Jing, Anhan General Mi Zhu, Military Advisor General Zhuge Liang, Taichang Lai Gong, Guang Luxun Huang Zhu, Shaofu Wang Mou and others all wrote:
"Cao Pi usurped the throne, annihilated the Han Dynasty, stole artifacts, robbed loyal people, and was ruthless and cruel. People and ghosts are angry and poisonous, and they miss the Liu family. There is no emperor in the world, and the sea is panicked and everyone looks up to him.
More than 800 people in the group wrote letters one after another, saying that they described Fu Rui, diagrams, and prophecies. In the meantime, Huanglong saw Chishui in Wuyang and left in nine days. The Filial Piety Sutra says, "When virtue reaches Yuanquan, a yellow dragon will appear." The dragon is the symbol of the king.
In the ninth year of the Yi Qian Dynasty, "the flying dragon is in the sky", the king will rise as the dragon and ascend to the throne.
Guan Yu once again besieged Fan and Xiangyang, and now Mi Yang has killed Cao Ren and killed the bandit army. His brilliant military exploits are in line with this.
Zhang Jia and Wang Xiu, men from Xiangyang, presented a jade seal. The seal dived into the Han River and lay in Yuanquan.
The husband of Han was the name given by the great ancestor to determine the country in the world. The great king followed the trajectory of the previous emperor and also flourished in Hanzhong.
Today, the divine light of the Ziyuxi Seal came to Xiangyang. At the end of the Han River, the Ming Dynasty King inherited his descendants and conferred the throne of the Emperor on him. The auspicious destiny and talisman were not caused by human power.
In the past Zhou Dynasty, there was the auspiciousness of the mullet, so it was said that it was off. The second ancestor was ordered to write pictures and books first as a test. Today, heaven has announced auspicious signs, and a group of scholars and handsome men have entered He and Luo. Confucius' prophecies and records have arrived.
King Fu Wei comes from the palace of Emperor Xiaojing, King Jing of Zhongshan. He has been a member of the clan for hundreds of generations, and has only descended to Zuo.
Examine the spiritual pictures and enlighten the prophecies and latitudes. They are the manifestations of the gods and their names are clear.
It is appropriate to assume the throne of the emperor, to compile the second ancestor, and to succeed Zhaomu, and the world is very lucky. I would like to establish etiquette with Dr. Xu Ci and Yilang Meng Guang, choose the order, and give the honorary title. "
After all the ministers who could be named in Chengdu formally wrote to persuade him to join, Liu Bei no longer refused. He ordered the ministers to discuss the date and place of proclaiming the emperor.
After several days of emergency consultations, the ministers in Chengdu finally determined the place and date for Liu Bei to proclaim himself emperor.
Wudan Mountain in the northwest of Chengdu.
After discussions with Zhuge Liang and other ministers, they determined Wudan Mountain as the place where Liu Bei would hold the enthronement ceremony.
The reason why Zhuge Liang and other ministers chose Wudan Mountain as the place where Liu Bei ascended the throne is because Wudan Mountain is located in the northwest of Chengdu, and the Qian position in the Book of Changes is in the northwest.
The person who does it is the position of the emperor.
After determining the location and date of Liu Bei's accession to the throne, the ministers in Chengdu, under the auspices of Zhuge Liang, began intensive preparations up and down Mount Wudan.
After a while, all preparations for Liu Bei's enthronement ceremony were ready.
The day for Liu Bei to ascend the throne has also arrived.
It was September 18th, the first year of Yankang in the Han Dynasty. Even history books that cherish words like gold will record this day in the future.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain above Wudan, a group of ministers had already stood in their respective order.
Behind them and around them were tens of thousands of people with neat armor and sturdy figures.
Han army armed guards.
In normal times, there may be a gap in status between ministers and guards.
But today, they are gathered here for one person and one thing.
They want to witness a king transforming into a cloud dragon and flying through the nine heavens. They want to witness the occurrence of a major event that can change the world.
When the grand ceremony and music played, a noble and solemn car, escorted by thousands of soldiers, began to appear in tens of thousands of eyes.
The eyes of hundreds of ministers followed the movement of the car and were constantly flowing.
Among the hundreds of pairs of eyes, there were expressions of excitement, excitement, emotion, and awe.
At this time, the sunshine, which represented hope and light, was pouring wantonly on the faces of hundreds of ministers.
Under the warm and bright sunshine, the expressions of hundreds of ministers finally turned into a unified look, that is, fiery.
The man sitting in the carriage is their king and will soon become their emperor!
Originally, the weather in Chengdu since autumn has been mostly gloomy, occasionally mixed with some cold autumn rain.
When choosing the day when Liu Bei would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, Zhuge Liang and other ministers were worried about this matter.
Unexpectedly, after they selected September 18th as the day when Liu Bei ascended the throne, the weather inside and outside Chengdu suddenly gradually improved.
As of today, the clouds are all gone and the sun is shining brightly!
This scene made all the ministers breathe a long sigh of relief, and it also made a different kind of emotion float in their hearts.
In the eyes of the ancients, weather is sometimes a hint from heaven.
The gloomy weather suddenly cleared up. This phenomenon made them feel that Liu Bei's ascension to the throne was destiny as they had written.
This hint made the fiery expressions on the faces of hundreds of ministers even brighter, and they all bowed towards the car.
Although the tens of thousands of Han army guards were unable to move at all because of their duties.
But their eyes were like hundreds of ministers, watching the car.
The fire in their eyes was no less than that in the minister's eyes.
It's autumn, and the autumn wind is refreshing.
When an autumn wind mixed with the fragrance of rice ears blew rapidly through the foot of Wudan Mountain, the white feathers on the tens of thousands of Han troops fluttered in the wind.
The white feathers shining in the sun were fluttering in the wind and bent in the direction of the carriage. This scene was like tens of thousands of Han soldiers bowing their heads to Liu Bei in the carriage.
Hundreds of ministers bowed their heads, and tens of thousands of Yulin bowed their heads. This was an honor that belonged exclusively to the emperor of Han Dynasty.
When Liu Bei's chariot was getting closer and closer to Wudan Mountain, the tens of thousands of Yulin guards spontaneously raised their spears and hit the ground heavily with the end of their spears.
The sound of tens of thousands of spears hitting the ground resounded from the neat land.
The sound became louder and louder, and finally it seemed that the entire Wudan Mountain had been enveloped by these bursts of sound.
When the loud sound of the spear hitting the ground mixed with the solemn ritual music at the foot of Wudan Mountain, a unique and more moving sound was formed.
It's like the gods in the sky are singing.
It's very exciting.
Chengdu is not far from Wudan Mountain. As the silent cheers from heaven and earth became louder and louder, Liu Bei's car had arrived at the foot of Wudan Mountain.
When the car stopped, Liu Bei, who had already changed into the imperial robes of the Emperor of Han, slowly emerged from the car.
Liu Bei was seven feet five inches tall, which was considered tall in this world.
His appearance is different from ordinary people, giving people a feeling of calmness and self-power.
After four hundred years of development in the Han Dynasty and continuous improvement by the great Confucian scholars of all generations, the crown uniform of the emperor of the Han Dynasty appeared very majestic.
When the majestic emperor's crown was worn on the extraordinary-looking Liu Bei, it made Liu Bei's nobility even more impressive today.
So when Liu Bei appeared in his car wearing the crown uniform of the Emperor of Han, tens of thousands of eyes at the foot of Wudan Mountain showed awe and admiration.
look.
Although the enthronement ceremony has not been officially completed, Liu Bei has now become the emperor in the hearts of tens of thousands of people.
What is the emperor?
The emperor receives books from all over the world, imprints tributes and treasures from all nations, cares for the Xia at home, and suppresses hundreds of barbarians outside.
The Son of Heaven is the supreme being in this world.
The moment Liu Bei stepped out of the car, the entire world outside Chengdu was instantly covered by a burst of extremely warm cheers.
"Long live! Long live!"
Countless cheers of fiery cheers rose from the foot of Wudang Mountain and quickly rushed towards the clouds in the sky.
This kind of high and enthusiastic cheers seemed to shatter the world where Liu Bei was.
Countless birds were startled from the dense forest by the loud cheers and kept hovering in the sky.
And when the loud sound from tens of thousands of people spread throughout the world, there seemed to be a faint echo on Wudan Mountain.
This is Shanhu!
When Emperor Xiaowu consecrated Mount Tai, the ministers who followed him all heard three faint voices shouting "Long Live" coming from the mountain.
So far, the emperors of the Han Dynasty have regarded this matter as a great auspiciousness.
Five-colored clouds rise, birds fly into the sky; Long Live Mountain shouts, shaking the sky and the earth.
This is the grand scene that Liu Bei saw when he stepped out of the car.
This scene made Liu Bei feel excited.
In his ears, he heard the sound of long live that seemed to last forever. He looked at the tens of thousands of burly people in front of him who bowed their heads and cheered for him, and his face became more and more flushed.
No man can resist such a scene.
Under the grand welcome ceremony, Liu Bei walked slowly towards Wudan Mountain.
The altar he used to make sacrifices to heaven and earth was on Mount Wudan.
Liu Bei is old and strong, and his steps are slow but steady.
Wudan Mountain is not far away from him.
When Liu Bei's feet stepped on the first step at the foot of Wudan Mountain, the eyes of tens of thousands of people at the foot of Wudan Mountain had already turned around, looking towards his back with the sun, moon and stars.
Feeling the stone steps under his feet, Liu Bei held his head high and walked step by step towards the highest point in his life.
As Liu Bei walked step by step up Wudan Mountain, his mind recalled everything he had experienced before.
Over the decades, he has been betrayed, slandered, and ridiculed.
He was the most down-to-earth person, with only one or two followers around him.
When he was at his most dangerous, the enemy's blade almost struck him.
But in the past few decades, no matter how many hardships he encountered, he never gave up the idea in his heart.
According to his reputation, wealth and glory are just within easy reach.
He could have gone with the flow and given up the ideal in his heart for the sake of glory, wealth, fame and fortune.
But that's impossible.
So what about suffering, what about death?
If he wanted Liu Bei to succumb to this man-eating, greedy world, then he would rather choose to guard the innocence in his heart amidst the enemy's swords, guns, and halberds.
The glory he receives today is due to his faith that never gives up.
Even if the world becomes more difficult in the future, he will still continue to move forward firmly and without hesitation.
Just like he is now.
Liu Bei was nearly sixty years old. The mountain road was rugged and the steps were steep. Originally, such road conditions were not suitable for an old man like him to walk.
As he approached the top of the mountain step by step, Liu Bei actually felt tired.
But at this moment, a force called faith burst out from his body.
Under the influence of this power, Liu Bei's steps became more and more steady, and his eyes towards the top of the mountain became more and more determined.
When Liu Bei set foot on Wudan Mountain, a group of ministers, led by Xu Jing and Yu Jin, followed Liu Bei on both sides and walked slowly towards the top of Wudan Mountain.
wudanshanbin
Not high, Liu Bei soon reached the altar first.
When Liu Bei arrived at the altar, the ministers behind him also stopped five steps away from the altar.
Only Taifu Xu Jing, holding a sacrificial inscription, followed Liu Bei to the altar.
After Liu Bei lit the three pyres on the altar, Xu Jing, who was the most famous among Liu Bei's subordinates, immediately unfolded the sacrificial text in his hand and began to read it aloud.
"On Bingwu in the ninth month of the first year of Yankang, the emperor Beida dared to use Xuanmu to announce to the emperor, heaven, and queen earth gods:
The Han Dynasty has the world, and its history has no boundaries. In the past, Wang Mang usurped and robbed, Emperor Guangwu was so angry that he executed him, and the country was restored. Today, Cao Cao prevents his troops from being patient and kills the queen, overwhelming the sky and destroying Xia, ignoring the heavenly appearance. Cao Zi Pi carried out his evil rebellion and stole the artifact.
The ministers and soldiers thought that the country was in ruins and it was time to repair it. They succeeded the second ancestor Wu and carried out heaven's punishment.
Be prepared but not virtuous, fearing the throne. When he asked the common people, as well as the barbarian rulers, he said, "The destiny of heaven cannot be left unanswered, the ancestral property cannot be replaced for a long time, and the world cannot be without its owner."
I'm looking forward to it, and I'm preparing one person. Afraid of the fate of the day, and fearing that the Han Dynasty generals will be buried in the ground, I would like to choose the first day to go to the altar with Bailiao and receive the emperor's seal and ribbon. Repair the burnt body and report it to the gods, but the gods will live in the Han family and live forever in the world! "
When Xu Jing summoned up the greatest strength in his life to read the sacrificial text in his hand, the civil and military officials under the altar, under the command of the visitor on the altar, all bowed to Liu Bei on the altar and worshiped:
"Your Majesty will last for ten thousand years, and the great Han will live for ten thousand years."
Because hundreds of ministers stood on different steps in order, their worship sounds were quickly transmitted down the mountain.
When the visitors at the foot of the mountain heard the ministers paying homage, they immediately directed the band at the foot of the mountain to play the emperor's ceremonial music.
The solemn yet joyful ritual music, played by thousands of drummers, began to sound rapidly at the foot of Wudan Mountain.
And when the emperor's ritual music reached the altar on the mountain, the cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers below the mountain resounded throughout the world again.
Today, the legal system of the Han Dynasty continues to be established!
The weather is cold and my hand speed is a bit slow, but it’s not a big problem.
There are three chapters tonight.
