Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 413 This Autumn
After August, it is already autumn.

In the Han Dynasty, it was very troublesome to welcome autumn, and everything had to be done according to etiquette.Eighteen days before the Beginning of Autumn, preparations begin. First, sacrifices will be made to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor. The emperor must go there in person, and officials in Kyoto must also wear yellow clothes to accompany the sacrifice.Playing the music of Huang Zhong Dali, all officials sang the song "The Emperor Comes" together, and presented the dances of "Yun Qiao" and "Yu Ming".

The sacrifice lasted until the beginning of autumn, when midnight passed, all officials in the capital had to remove their yellow clothes and put on white clothes with soap collars to welcome the first autumn wind in the western suburbs.The ceremony ended at dawn, and all the officials took off their white clothes and changed into red court clothes. This kind of court clothes had to be worn until Lidong.

But the Baijiao Ceremony is not over yet, the mausoleum will be enshrined next, and an elk will be prepared in advance by the order of the Dazai.The emperor came to the front with a bow and arrow, personally hunted and killed the elk, and dispatched the Taizai Ling and the audience to ride fast horses and carry the deer to the mausoleum temple to contribute.Then the military officer led the capital's armed forces and horses to practice the battle formation, and ordered Sun Wu's 64 formations, and then killed the livestock.In the end, the emperor could return to the palace and reward the civil servants with a bundle of silk, and this year's autumn welcoming ceremony was completely over.

The emperor shot the elk to show his sincerity and filial piety as a sacrifice to the mausoleum temple, and secondly, it was also to cater to the killing spirit of autumn.Generally, after this day, the shooting and hunting activities of scholar-bureaucrats and folks gradually become active.The children of officials, family members, ministers of the government and even the students of the imperial court all served martial arts, rode fast horses, carried bows and arrows and went hunting in the countryside, which is also a popular way of pastime.

However, the autumn sacrifice in Guanzhong this year did not go smoothly.The reason for this was that when Zhong Chang Shi went to invite the emperor to observe the battle, he suddenly found that the emperor had disappeared.

After careful calculation, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty discovered that since Liu Xie, the emperor, took charge of the government.Each of their sacrificial activities did not go well, either because they were unable to carry out the killings in the troubled times, or they were stunned by the assassination of the emperor.This time the autumn sacrifice, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were full of energy, trying to make the Han royal court realize a normal, complete, simple and unconventional autumn sacrifice.

After all, the summer drought in Guanzhong has finally survived.And the hustle and bustle brought about by the Xuzhou Rebellion also subsided a lot in the bright red blood at Caishikou.After walking through the entire tense and difficult summer in Guanzhong, there should indeed be a peaceful and normal sacrificial ceremony to dilute the ominousness and uneasiness brought about by the various bloody storms after the emperor ascended the throne.

Moreover, the omens of the beginning of the autumn sacrifice are very good.First of all, the seriously ill emperor finally healed. In the Han Dynasty of absolute monarchy, the emperor was the core of the whole country. No matter how big or small the emperor's business was, it was the top priority of the court. A fart could shake the mountains, let alone the emperor dragon. It's such a big happy event.

In addition, although there was a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, the high-yield auspicious crops were promoted and planted after all.At the same time, the harvest of these crops was not damaged and stolen in a large scale under the shock of the soldiers of the whole Han court.Most of them have been put into cellars by the common people, and then they are waiting to be paid to the imperial court.

With food in hand, don't panic.This is the most simple cognition of the common people, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty naturally heaved a sigh of relief: because they all know that after this year, the Han court will inevitably reach a peak of prosperity and prosperity.

Although the tragedy in Xuzhou still worried the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, it was precisely because of this that they wanted to hold a normal autumn sacrifice.There are naturally two intentions.The first is nothing more than to let the people of the world know that the Han court is still the orthodoxy protected by the heavens, and only under the bright and correct leadership of the Han Dynasty can it survive the difficulties again and again.

The second purpose is actually a continuation of one. The Manchao Gongqing hopes to use this autumn sacrifice to give hope to the people of Xuzhou.Then, the loyal officials of the Han Dynasty in the world were thrown into the struggle against Cao, and the political appeal of "benevolence is omnipotent" was realized.

And this request was obviously granted by the emperor!Moreover, he spared no effort to cooperate in the early stage!

However, all the literati and bureaucrats could not have imagined that after the emperor shot and killed the elk with his own hands, he disappeared in a flash!This feeling, it's like... It's like you cooked a table full of dishes just to entertain someone.But the man suddenly said he wanted to go to the bathroom after eating half of it, but he never came back. It was very uncomfortable and out of breath!
To put it more bluntly, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty felt that they were like infatuated women who were abandoned by the emperor!What's even more embarrassing is that this kind of abandonment is not the first time!

However, what is strange is that Weiyang Palace is peaceful this time.Compared with the first time when the emperor left the palace without authorization, they could be said to have been very calm this time: the courtiers invited the highly respected Taiwei Ma Rixun, famous generals Huangfusong and Zhu Jun to preside over the military exercise.The Empress of the Han Dynasty Fushou was dignified and graceful for bestowing a bundle of silk to all officials, and her words of encouragement made people feel like a spring breeze, which was even better than that incomprehensible emperor...

Anyway, the more you are abandoned, the harder your glass heart will be.Once you get used to it, it will be fine.

Just like Leng Shouguang, who was the first to discover that the Son of Heaven was missing, said: "I knew something was going to happen these days! My heart is always up and down. But when I finally found out that the Son of Heaven was gone, I immediately calmed down. Come down. After all, it seems more normal to look like this..."

All over the court, no one knew where the emperor had gone.But the only thing they know is that this time the emperor is still not alone.Disappearing with him are Xu Huang, the emperor's first confidant dogleg, Zhao Yun, the new generation of Chang'an heartthrob, Gao Shun, the school captain who fell into the battle, Sima Yi, the servant of the Huangmen, and Li Yan, the fifth official Sima of the second dogleg.Moreover, the three thousand five-official soldiers under Li Yan also disappeared with the emperor.

Each of these guys is deeply branded as the Son of Heaven.It is not so strange that they disappeared with the emperor.But the strange thing is that Xun You, an Anyuan General, and Zhang Ji, the Imperial Physician, disappeared this time!
According to the general arrangement of the emperor to go out of the palace, Fushou took care of the harem, Zhong Yao, the doctor of Guanglu, coordinated the civil affairs, and General Anyuan presided over the military.But this time, the emperor actually took away all the pillars in Guanzhong, which is very puzzling.

Although there is no Xun You in Guanzhong, there will be no major disturbances.After all, Taiwei Ma Rixun, famous generals Huangfusong and Zhu Jun are still there, and the military power is still as stable as Mount Tai.But the problem is, without Xun You, these three can only rely on their fame to keep their success, but they don't have the real power to use the country's heavy weapons to kill them!

If there had to be an explanation, the Son of Heaven would probably not need any troops from Guanzhong to support him now that he was gone.What's more, the courtiers also knew in their hearts that the autumn harvest had not yet been put into storage, and the torment of the severe drought in the past six months had also left the big man exhausted.In fact, even if Guan Zhong wanted to move, he couldn't move at all...

However, there are concerns.Even if the emperor needed Xun You, a person who knows the world and the world, as a counselor, he would rather let go of the military reform, but it is not incomprehensible if there is a good reason for it.However, what is the purpose of bringing an imperial physician Ling Zhang Ji?What's more, he didn't just take Zhang Ji with him, but took away almost all the famous doctors who had been trained with great difficulty in the past two years.

For 3000 soldiers, dozens of doctors are more than enough to take care of them.But hundreds of doctors are disappearing together. Is the emperor planning to abdicate his position and return to the government, and hang the pot to help the world?

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to think about it, nor did they want to think about it.Anyway, when they think of that emperor, they feel uncomfortable all over.Later, the only news I got was that in the mansion of Duan Yao, a Zhonglang general in Chang'an who was eating and waiting to die, it was reported that the emperor suddenly appeared in Nanyang with a dragon's tail.

Duan Yao has been a marginalized figure ever since Dong Zhuo was punished.Fortunately, this guy is also tired of the old days, Youzai Youzai took the salary of General Zhonglang to marry a wife and have children, and worked hard.In my spare time, I just write letters and chatter with my few colleagues.

Xu Rong didn't have much time to talk to him, and Fan Chou, who was guarding Hedong, could hardly piss with him.Only Zhang Ji from Nanyang still has some friendship with Duan Yan.Duan Yan received Zhang Ji's letter that day, and after reading it, he couldn't help laughing: It turned out that after the emperor led three thousand five-official officers and soldiers into Nanyang, he kidnapped Zhang Ji.

Ordinarily, it is reasonable for the emperor to ask his ministers for anything.But Liu Xie was Liu Xie after all, he didn't say anything, just had a drink with Zhang Ji, which made Zhang Ji dizzy.After waking up, Zhang Ji discovered that half of the military equipment he was ordered to supervise in Nanyang had been confiscated by the emperor.Not to mention, the emperor even abducted his nephew, and also captured a 2000-man Xiliang iron cavalry.

After taking these away, the emperor left a note with only one sentence written on it: This incident was purely accidental, and the military equipment that should be handed over to the Han court must not be less.As for the method, you can think for yourself.Take the scapegoat for yourself, recite it a few more times, and I guarantee you will be promoted...
