Chapter 478 Preparation for Heavenly Sacrifice
The progress was smooth, although Mu Yi did not have Han Xin's ability to gain more.
But there is no problem in commanding hundreds of thousands of troops.
We can't do it as if we were the arm of our own hand, but we can still enforce the order.
Sima Yi himself had won over the central imperial guards in Luoyang. The most elite troops of the Jin Dynasty were the imperial guards, which were completely full-time professional soldiers.
Coupled with the popularity of cultivation in this world, some of these central imperial guards can even rival Mu Yi's current human army.
The early appearance of Sima Yong, Sima Ying and Sima Yue gave Sima Yi an absolute advantage. Although there were many camps in the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, only a few of them posed a real threat.
"Get ready. Let the emperor abdicate. This will give the people of the world a reason to unite and attack you. We will cripple them all at once!"
A complicated look appeared on Mu Yi's face, and he spoke to Sima Yi.
He knew very well that crippling the opponent in one go would not completely solve the problem.
The online players in those camps will definitely turn into guerrillas and fight them to the end.
Some are even so crazy that they would cause sabotage everywhere to prevent them from destroying other camps.
But it's just some pain at most. After all, this is Jiuzhou. Mu Yi can use his identity to bring down the gods from heaven and deal with those players on the Internet who violated the rules of the secular world.
Kyushu generally turned a blind eye to the killing during the war. After all, it was a normal change of dynasties and it was inconvenient for them to intervene or they would have to bear many consequences.
But if it is the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, the gods and immortals in Kyushu will not tolerate it.
Mu Yi doesn't even need to look for anyone. Sima Yi and those immortals and gods who have entrusted Mu Yi with the task will definitely come rushing over to handle it.
You must know that the rules of heaven are strict, and it is strictly forbidden for immortals and gods to come down to the world and influence the human world.
But subduing demons and eliminating monsters in the lower world is another matter, and this is also one of the reasons why the Heavenly Court rules over so many worlds.
No matter how powerful you are in the lower world, the gods and immortals in my heaven are one or two levels higher than you. Except for some special exceptions, we can basically capture you easily.
However, behind this process, I don’t know how many lives will be harmed.
But Mu Yi couldn't stop it, he could only try his best to end this sudden online battle in advance.
From the moment this world opens up, it will be difficult to end the situation.
This is the fastest way Mu Yi can think of to clean up this mess.
Sima Yi was overjoyed after hearing Mu Yi's words.
Fate is fate, but the fact that he was about to ascend the throne made him ecstatic.
Is there any legal principle more orthodox than that jointly certified and supported by ancestors and gods?
He was not trying to usurp the throne, but to save the collapsing building and turn the tide.
Sima Yi immediately summoned all civil and military officials.
"Go find me a group of Taoist priests and monks right away. I want them to calculate an auspicious time."
"The Prime Minister is leading all the officials to prepare the rules for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. You can look up the specific clauses. They must be grand and pious, and there must be no accidents!"
"The sooner the better, at the nearest auspicious time... No, I will ask the immortal for instructions!"
"This time it's not just for me, but for the future of all of you. I hope you will all do your best!"
As Sima Yi spoke, his eyes swept over everyone present. When they were swept by this look, almost all the civil officials and military officers trembled instantly. At this moment, they felt a boundless sense of oppression from Sima Yi.
That kind of almost uncontrollable madness seemed to be about to emerge from Sima Yi at any time.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
But soon after, all the civil and military officials became excited. Why did they follow Sima Yi? Wasn't it for power, wealth, and honor?
And now that Sima Yi is going to take a further step, their status as his confidants will naturally rise.
Just as Sima Yi said, this time, it was not only Sima Yi's order, but also their own future, and it was also for themselves.
Therefore, the forces under Sima Yi's command operated much faster than before, like a precision instrument with its gears tightly meshed together.
Before it got dark, one decree after another was issued.
Even in a hurry, they managed to gather enough food and fodder to sustain tens of thousands of troops for several months.
Naturally, the princes and nobles in Luoyang City made every effort to take out some of their own stocks, and even negotiated with some merchants to borrow some.
After all, the drama of three times of giving up has already begun in Luoyang.
Any princes and nobles with a bit of common sense knew that if they did not take sides at this time, they would be liquidated one by one when Sima Yi ascended the throne.
As the saying goes, the leader may not remember who gave what, but he remembers clearly who did not give anything.
The 180,000-strong army, which is fully equipped and has been intensively trained by Mu Yi, has begun to gather in various places, waiting for the response of the princes in Kanto.
"Your Majesty, when do you think it is appropriate to ascend the throne?" After Sima Yi staged a series of refusal scenes, he couldn't wait to find Mu Yi and ask.
Mu Yi raised his eyebrows and counted with his fingers. After all, he was an orthodox immortal god. Even if he was not very good at it, he should have no problem calculating an auspicious day.
"Twelve days from now, noon will be just right."
"You announced your ascension to the throne by offering sacrifices to heaven, which is a good choice, but you must remember to offer sacrifices to the emperor of heaven and earth first, and then to the founding ancestors, followed by the Yellow River God, the Yangtze River Dragon King and other gods!"
Mu Yi handed a series of lists to Sima Yi, all of which were the contacts that Mu Yi and his friends had made before.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is natural that the incense offerings have to be redelineated. After such a grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, half of the purpose of his trip has been achieved.
As for the other half, it was naturally to defeat the Five Barbarians and extend the duration of the Jin Dynasty for a while longer.
As for whether it will take decades or hundreds of years, that depends on the Sima family's own efforts. Mu Yi can only help them lay a foundation, but it is impossible for him to guarantee that their foundation will last forever.
Mu Yi even directly removed himself from the ranks of sacrifices, fearing that he would be too deeply involved with the Sima family, which would be detrimental to future developments.
After doing all this, Sima Yi also invited Mu Yi to attend the banquet.
He planned to let Mu Yi experience the customs and culture of their Dajin.
Mu Yi did not refuse and followed Sima Yi to participate in the banquet, intending to examine the civil and military officials under Sima Yi.
In order to keep Sima Yi's regime going, Mu Yi not only had to help Sima Yi in military affairs, but also had to keep an eye on Sima Yi's politics and personnel matters.
The Nine-Rank System ensures that there are no commoners in the upper ranks and no gentry in the lower ranks. It is not realistic to completely promote grassroots people, but many children from poor families do have potential for talent.
With Mu Yi's recognition, these children from poor families can help the Sima family survive for a little longer.
At night, when the lights come on.
Sima Yi's mansion was filled with laughter and the sound of stringed instruments.
The banquet was divided into inner and outer banquets, with nearly hundreds of people participating. There were not many people at the inner banquet, only about a dozen, and the rest were all at the outer banquet. After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere gradually became heated, with constant whispering.
Mu Yi looked at the civil and military officials present. Although he was not very good at physiognomy, he was still adept at fortune-telling.
Almost everyone present had the energy of dragon and tiger on their heads, and each one was extraordinary.
"Who is that?"
Mu Yi suddenly saw a person with an extraordinary aura. At Mu Yi's current level, when he looks at people, he no longer looks at their appearance, but directly looks at the person's soul characteristics.
The person he was staring at had a soul that shone with a completely different brilliance from everyone else.
"General Mu, this is Sima Wang Hu, a good general!" The follower appointed by Sima Yi immediately replied.
He didn't know who Mu Yi was, but even Sima Yi respected Mu Yi, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest.
"It turns out to be him!"
Mu Yi nodded. Wang Hu was a famous general. If he had not appeared, it would have been Wang Hu who defeated Zhang Fang, Lu Ji and their attack on Luoyang.
Moreover, this man is a cavalry commander and will be useful in commanding wars in the future.
"Write down his name and report it later!" Mu Yi gave the instructions and walked towards Wang Hu.
"Who are you?" Wang Hu looked at Mu Yi standing in front of her with some surprise.
He felt that Mu Yi looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where.
Logically speaking, he should have an impression of all the civil and military officials under Sima Yi's command.
However, since he appeared in the mansion and was followed by servants, I knew his identity must be no simple one, so naturally I did not dare to neglect him.
"Are you interested in leading a cavalry to the battlefield?" Mu Yi asked in a calm tone.
"Who are you?" Wang Hu immediately became serious. No matter why the other party asked this, he could feel that this might be a turning point in his destiny.
"I'm Mu Yi, you should have heard of my name!" Mu Yi smiled.
Although Sima Yi did not reveal his identity as a god to the outside world, his previous record of leading the army to defeat Zhang Fang had spread throughout Luoyang, and it was impossible for Wang Hu not to know about it.
"The King of Changsha has appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. I need a brave and capable cavalry commander. Would you like to come?" Mu Yi extended an olive branch to Wang Hu.
"I am willing to follow the general to fight on the battlefield, but I need to report to the King of Changsha first!" Wang Hu replied immediately, while speaking cautiously.
"I will report to you. Tomorrow you will report to the military camp outside the city! I will hand over the heavy cavalry to you. You will be of great use in the upcoming wars!"
"Thank you General for the promotion!"
Wang Hu was very excited. You know, a general with soldiers and a general without soldiers are two completely different things. Only when he has soldiers can he, the Sima, be considered a real general.
"Sima Wang is indeed heroic."
Mu Yi smiled slightly and raised the wine cup to greet him. With just a few words, he could tell that Wang Hu was really good.
He even thought of taking Wang Hu away to explore a bigger world.
Wang Hu picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, saying, "I hope Mourinho will give me some advice."
"Work together!"
“Working together”
Afterwards, Mu Yi discovered several good talents among the poor scholars and warriors. Although they were not as good as Wang Hu, they were also capable of becoming important officials.
It can at least ensure peace in a place for forty to fifty years.
The butler wrote down the names of the civil and military officials that Mu Yi asked about, and then reported them to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi promoted all these people the next day without any hesitation.
No one knew why, but they were all excited.
In their view, this might be Sima Yi's move to test the waters, telling everyone that as long as they supported him, no matter what their status was, he would promote them equally.
Follow Sima Yi and you will have meat to eat.
By accident, Sima Yi won the loyalty of a wave of his civil and military officials.
This made Sima Yi even more determined to cling to Mu Yi's support.
Time flies by.
A few days passed in a flash, and Sima Yi completed the script of three resignations and three concessions, and began to prepare to ascend the throne.
Although time is a bit tight, the entire Luoyang is under Sima Yi's control and no one will say anything.
The civil and military officials could not wait to follow the emperor's lead and pushed forward with all their might, at a speed much faster than anyone had imagined.
This altar, built by Sima Yi's order, began to host an unprecedented event since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.
The teams coming and going were continuously carrying large amounts of goods. They were allowed to pass after being checked by the guards at the city gates. After entering the city, the caravans split up, with one part escorting large quantities of goods and heading north under the guidance of the imperial guards.
The other part followed the crowd and walked towards the south. At their destination, there were more people and hawkers. Various shops and inns were lined up on both sides of the streets. The scene was prosperous but also extremely noisy. The sounds of thousands of people talking and hawking could be heard clearly even outside the city.
On the other side, the caravan directed north by the imperial guards was slowly passing through the streets, stopping at every street to undergo random inspections and questioning.
But during this tedious inspection, no businessman showed any displeasure.
It was not only because the soldiers in front of him were wearing heavy armor and holding unsheathed sabers, but also because this was the altar area.
Just when the work on the ground was in full swing, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a pair of hidden eyes quietly peeked in from behind and then disappeared.
As soon as the gap was closed, many cracks appeared.
Pairs of eyes are quietly observing the scene on the ground through the clouds.
As Jin had already obtained permission from Heaven and was about to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, he naturally came under observation from Heaven.
After all, if you want to inherit the legal system of Jiuzhou, it is far from enough to just occupy the land of Jiuzhou. To offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, it depends on whether heaven and earth recognize you.
The Heavenly Palace also disdains to be worshipped by demons and monsters.
Of course, the more important reason is that this is the first attempt to change the trend of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, and they all want to know what the outcome will be.
This is not about this world, but about the time when the Five Barbarians invaded China and ruled countless Kyushu.
For Kyushu, it is a big step towards perfection.
The significance is no less than Guan Yu's transcendence of tribulation and becoming an emperor. (End of this chapter)
