February, 203 AD.
Cao Cao built a Zen altar in Yecheng. Liu Xie was forced to write the edict of the Zen Kingdom with blood and tears. Cao Cao was overjoyed, but he did not dare to accept it directly.
So I expressed my humility and said that I had little virtue, so I asked you not to ask a great sage to succeed you to the throne.
Under the coercion of Wei Chen, Liu Xie made three speeches and issued an imperial edict not to allow it, and then accepted it. The edict on the Zen throne was read out at the Zen altar, and Wei King Cao Cao received eight great gifts and ascended the throne.
Guo Jia and Xun Yu led the ministers to kneel down and worship.
The year of An was renamed the first year of Huangchu, the country was named Wei, the capital was Yecheng, and Yecheng was renamed Yejing.
The news spread all over the world instantly.
When Liu Bei learned that Cao Cao had proclaimed himself emperor of the Wei Dynasty, he cried bitterly all day long. He also heard that Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty had been killed, so he ordered all officials to pay filial piety and set up sacrifices in Luoyang. The emperor called him "Emperor Xiaomin". Liu Bei was also worried because of this, which caused him to become ill and unable to manage the court. Chen Gong, Chen Deng, Kuai Yue and others assisted him.
The last three people discussed and persuaded Liu Bei to take the throne.
After three more words of advice, Liu Bei finally had no choice but to build an altar, set up sacrifices on the altar, tell the world, and after receiving eight kinds of great gifts, he ascended the throne.
The reign name was changed to Zhang Wu, the country was named Da Chu, and the capital was Chujing (Nanjun was changed to Chujing).
At the same time, such a scene was also happening in Soochow. After Sun Ce, the king of Wu, repeatedly blocked and refused, he ascended the throne, changed his reign name to Huanglong, the country name to Dawu, and established the capital as the capital.
Just after the other three countries proclaimed themselves emperors, Chang'an seemed very calm.
The traces of the recent Chinese New Year are still very clear, and the city inside and outside Chang'an has been cleaned cleanly. The city was bustling with people coming and going. The streets and alleys were promoting the proclaiming of emperors of Wei, Chu and Wu, and also predicting the time when Jingguo would proclaim himself emperor.
Chang'an City was bustling with activity, but it was very quiet inside Prince Jing's Palace.
After returning from his inspection outside, Zhang Xiu devoted himself wholeheartedly to government affairs. Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Li Ru, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Fazheng were called to Shangcheng Pavilion to discuss day and night. The war in Nanzhong reached a stalemate. Due to Liu Bei's proclaimed emperor, the situation eased. After discussion, both sides chose to withdraw. After all, the stalemate there was too much pressure.
In order to expand Shang Chengge's reserve force, the three of them were asked to serve as Shang Chengge's deputies.
Orders were sent out from Shangcheng Pavilion one after another and rushed to various areas of Jingguo. Even during the New Year, he ate the New Year's Eve dinner in a hurry, and after appreciating the ministers, he sat cross-legged on the kang in the study pavilion, lighting up the lamp to discuss matters with several ministers.
It wasn't until the news of the Three Kingdoms proclaiming himself emperor came that Zhang Xiu finished the work at hand.
He simply glanced at the information that Shadow Guard Ba Baili sent urgently, threw it on the kang table, and sneered disdainfully: "I thought Cao Cao was the most stable, but I didn't expect that he would be the first to proclaim himself emperor."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Being in the 95th position, at the pinnacle of power desire, naturally I can't wait."
Li Ru said: "Your Majesty, among the four kingdoms in the world, Cao Wei, Liu Chu, and Sun Wu have all proclaimed themselves emperors. I am the only one left in Dajing who has not yet had any news. My people in Dajing are already impatient."
Liu Ye said with a smile: "When I came here today, I passed by a few inns, and I immediately started betting on the day when the king would ascend the throne."
Zhang Xiu grinned: "It seems that everyone's hearts are very warm!"
"The world cannot be without a master for a day!" Seeing that the three prime ministers had all spoken, Zhuge Liang said slowly, "I, Dajing, are the most powerful country in the world today. I should proclaim myself emperor and establish my Dajing's empire for eternity."
After saying this, Jia Xu immediately took the lead and knelt down: "I invite the king to ascend the throne!"
Liu Ye and others knelt down and said, "I invite the king to ascend the throne!"
"Zhang Qian!"
Zhang Xiu shouted towards the door. Zhang Gan appeared at the door, and Zhang Xiu said, "Go and get the things from the secret box on the side of Gu Kang's head."
Zhang Qianyun, not long after, a square wooden box arrived.
Everyone looked at him with surprised expressions.
That small square box was actually made of sandalwood, and the ornaments outside were all wrapped in gold. What could be so precious?
Seeing their curiosity, Zhang Xiu smiled mysteriously, "It is said that in the world of those who have the jade seal, the three kingdoms of Wei, Chu, and Wu became emperors without the jade seal. If the name is not correct, then the words will not go smoothly!"
He said and opened the box.
Only a few inches of five-colored light was emitted from the box, and everyone's eyes lit up. The box was four inches in diameter, with five dragons intertwining engraved on it. Everyone exclaimed in unison: "Jade Seal!"
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Yes, this is the imperial seal created by Qin Shihuang!"
Jia Xu and others hurriedly bowed again: "Your Majesty, I have this jade seal in my hand, which is given by Heaven to my lord. I sincerely hope that Your Majesty will obey Heaven and obey the people, and ascend to the throne of Ninety-five Lords!"
Everyone paid homage.
Zhang Xiu nodded: "Let's build an altar outside Chang'an City, and I want to sacrifice to the world!"
Jia Xu and others were so excited that they trembled all over and bowed and knelt down. Zhang Xiu's proclaiming himself emperor meant that Dajing was officially established, and that their many years of hard work finally paid off.
When the news got out.
The entire people of Dajing began to celebrate spontaneously, and people from Bingzhou, Beizhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou and other places rushed to Chang'an, wanting to see their king's enthronement ceremony.
The time for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth is set in May.
It is also to leave enough time for people from all over the world who want to come to Chang'an. It’s not even April yet, and Chang’an City is already crowded with people. After the spring plowing ends in March, people from all over the country begin to hurry, and the official roads in various places are full of travelers with horses and whips.
Such a grand occasion is impossible to occur in the other three countries.
The primary reason is the land problem. The land is occupied by powerful nobles, and the people can only survive by working for the nobles. How can they have time to care about other things? It was different in Jingguo. The land was nationalized, and every citizen had his own one-third of an acre of land. After planting the land, he had free time to work as other workers, and he was free to come to Chang'an.
Time flies.
May 15th, 203 AD.
When the first ray of the sun rose slowly and peeked out of the ground, Chang'an fell into silence. On the left and right sides stood the majestic Jingqian Army, with a red carpet paving the way in the middle. Behind Jingqian's army were the people of Jingguo. Everyone was waiting quietly but excitedly.
Not long after, a loud music ceremony sounded.
Zhang Xiu led hundreds of officials from the Jing Kingdom and walked out of the Jing Palace and towards the altar. Seeing Zhang Xiu wearing a golden dragon robe, the people on both sides of the road knelt down and worshiped, shouting in unison: "Long live my emperor! Long live! Ten Thousand Thousands". age!"
Thousands of people shouted in unison, and the thick sound echoed through the sky.
Everyone felt an indescribable excitement, goosebumps appeared all over their bodies, blood rushed to their faces, and their voices became louder.
Zhang Xiu calmed down, faced the first ray of sunshine, and climbed onto the building altar.
Complain to God!
Received the emperor's seal and ribbon, and visited all directions.
All civil and military officials knelt down and shouted long live!
All the crowded people inside and outside Chang'an City knelt down, blushed, and shouted long live! Long live! .
After the dance ceremony, Jia Xu stood up and announced loudly: "From today on, the name of the year will be changed to Jianlong, the name of the country will be Dajing, and the capital will be Chang'an!"
Then, the mountain shouted long live again.
From then on, the world was divided into four parts.
