Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 427 Preparations for Proclaiming Emperor

When Zhang Ming came out wearing a python robe, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's eyes were fixed.

Sun Shangxiang had stars in his eyes.

"handsome."

This is Sun Shangxiang's evaluation of people.

Sun Shangxiang's evaluation of people is all about relying on his eyesight, and he doesn't need to care about the identity of the other party at all.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu didn't feel too much surprise.

Making Zhang Ming a Marquis was just the first step, and they could even predict that Zhang Ming might become king in a short time.

Even, in the end, he will proclaim himself emperor.

However, many people cannot accept it.

Many people still have old ideas, old ideas from the early Han Dynasty.

Conferring a marquis is a major event. Although this matter has the canonization of the emperor, it is too much for Zhang Ming to wear a python robe.

Zhang Ming started offering sacrifices to the sky, and the ceremony began.

Chen Yang presided over it, and he did it completely according to the ancient method, and he did it according to the standard of the emperor offering sacrifices to heaven.

The whole process is very cumbersome, one by one.

Zhang Ming is also very cooperative.

However, many people can't take it anymore.

They are still old-fashioned, bound by traditional ethics.

Many people think that Zhang Ming is overstepping.

Not in line with the rules.

However, there are too many troops present here, all of them are Zhang Ming's people.

No one dares to make a mistake.

Zhang Ming killed quite a few people, if he dared to act recklessly, he might become the ghost of Zhang Ming's sword.

It took more than two hours for the sacrifice to heaven to end.

After the grand sacrifice ceremony, Zhang Ming hosted a banquet for some celebrities.

The crowd dispersed.

In the afternoon, there were various rumors in every corner of the city.

"Have you heard that the Marquis of Liao is about to proclaim himself emperor, and he worshiped the heavens completely in accordance with the emperor's etiquette."

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, among a group of people, telling them gossip.

A young farmer said: "What, the Marquis of Liao is not the emperor."

"That's right, Marquis Liao is not the Son of Heaven. I thought he was the Son of Heaven this time."

"When will the Marquis of Liao proclaim himself emperor? We are all very happy."

Those who spread rumors suddenly realized that the style of painting was wrong, shouldn't they be very angry, shouldn't they condemn Zhang Ming together?

"No, you didn't understand, the Marquis of Liao wants to become emperor, and he is wearing a boa robe this time to sacrifice to heaven. He wants to become emperor." The man said anxiously.

He was ordered to spread rumors, causing the people to turn against Zhang Ming.

A group of peasants still don't understand at this time, they don't understand, why is Zhang Ming not the emperor?
"It's time to proclaim the emperor, we haven't had an emperor for too long."

"Yes, there has been no emperor in this world for decades."

"It's time for an emperor."

The man was dumbfounded, there is no emperor, the emperor is in the south, Cao Cao is there.

Many of these people thought that the emperor had long since died.

They don't know who they are.

There is no trace of the emperor in their lives, only Zhang Ming's grace.

They can often know from newspapers and readers that it is Zhang Ming who has been covering them.

The emperor has been gone for many years.

Zhang Ming doesn't know how to promote the emperor, and he doesn't need justice in everything he does. He always issues orders from his Palace of the General Protecting the Country, in his own name.

Therefore, they didn't know the existence of the emperor here, thinking that the emperor had died long ago.

Zhang Ming also publicized the deaths of Emperor Hanling and Liu Bian.

But it just didn't publicize the existence of Liu Xie.

Even Liu Xie granted him the title of Marquis of Liao, but Zhang Ming didn't publicize it.

Spreading rumors like this is destined to be useless.

Many people spread rumors in many corners.

But it only resonated with a small number of scholars.

"We should jointly sign a letter to crusade against Zhang Ming."

"Yes, the surname is Liu in this world, and Zhang Ming actually intends to proclaim himself emperor."

"We should invite His Majesty here."

"Let's go to Xudu, Your Majesty, please go north."

A group of scholars has no ability to act at all, and the ideas they come up with are even more absurd.

Of course they didn't dare to get up and make trouble at this time.

Some of them failed the imperial examination several times here, and they resented Zhang Ming very much.

However, most of the scholars in Youzhou were cultivated by Zhang Ming since he was a child. Even if Zhang Ming proclaimed himself emperor, they would definitely support him.

Therefore, the tongue dryness of these few people is useless at all.

Rumors continued to spread.

But the style of painting is not right at all, and no common people have turned against it.

They thought that as long as they incited public anger, they would make Zhang Ming very troublesome.

However, this seems to be calm.

The rumors continued to spread, and before long, they spread like wildfire.

At this time, it is not the spies of the enemy who are spreading, but the people themselves.

"The Marquis of Liao is the one who wants to be the emperor."

"Great, we haven't had an emperor for decades, and it's important to have an emperor in the future."

"If the Marquis of Liao is not the emperor, who will be the emperor?"

"Ah, isn't Master Zhang always the emperor?"

"When will you become the emperor? Our village will hold a big banquet."

"Marquis Liao, he is our benefactor."

This style of painting completely dumbfounded those who cared.

Why is it completely opposite to what they thought.

At night, Zhang Ming had already changed into his usual clothes.

He was talking with Tian Feng in the General Protector's Mansion.

At this time, Liu Daneng came to report.

Zhang Ming handed over some intelligence work to him.

Originally, this was a matter of Xi Zhicai, but Liu Daneng couldn't even understand the characters.

However, in intelligence work, loyalty is greater than talent.

Zhang Ming also asked him to analyze a lot, and let him report everything he knew to himself.

"Lord."

"Master Tian is not an outsider, he just says what he knows."

"My lord, there are indeed people spreading rumors in the city. According to your instructions, don't deal with it."

"Well, how did the people react?"

Beforehand, Zhang Ming knew about it, but he didn't think about doing it.

Liu Daneng said: "My lord, the people now know that you are going to proclaim yourself emperor, spread the word widely, and you are coming so fiercely that no one knows, no one knows. If this goes on, it will cause endless harm. My lord, please send troops to arrest all those who spread rumors. stand up."

Liu Daneng said a lot.

Zhang Ming laughed.

"Get out, don't mess around."

"My lord, this subordinate will leave first." Tian Feng also stood up and left.

Zhang Ming sat alone in the study. These rumors were released by the enemy, but Zhang Ming knew in advance.

"Sure enough, in the future I will become emperor, and the common people will not object."

Zhang Ming is using the enemy's mouth to test, test public opinion, and see the reaction of the people.

The people had no opinion on him being emperor, so Zhang Ming was not polite.

Of course, the aristocratic family and the old-school scholars are very opposed to it.

They also respect the big man as orthodox.

If Zhang Ming wants to become emperor, just like Yuan Shu back then, he should be cast aside by the people of the world.

Zhang Ming will not deal with this part of the people.

"When I hit the edge of the Yangtze River, I should be king."

Feng Junhou, then proclaimed king, step by step, preparing for the final proclaimed emperor.

Since there won't be too many problems in public opinion, how can other people's opposition affect Zhang Ming?

Now, Zhang Ming can't give anything to his subordinates, and he has to get Cao Cao's consent to become a Marquis. In the future, he will become emperor himself, so there is no less honor that should be given.
