Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 774 This Day Is A Little Unlucky

On April [-]st of the fifth year of Xingping, the land of the Han Dynasty, which had been quiet for many years, set off a thunderstorm again.It's just that the incident here in Dongchuan, Han Dynasty was not a resurgence of wars, but a great joyous event in which the emperor entered Hanzhong himself and regained Hanzhong without bloodshed.

Such a blessing, not only the Hanzhong people who had heard the news a long time ago, rejoiced and celebrated.And then the people in Guanzhong, who heard the news, also celebrated spontaneously.Especially those wealthy businessmen who traveled to and from Hanzhong generously donated a lot of property, thanking the emperor of the Han Dynasty for completely opening up the Hanzhong trade route for them.

For a time, Hanzhong City was very lively.There are colorful gates standing in the street, lion dances of various colors are galloping and jumping, and there are many social operas performed by folk artists.This bustling but relatively quiet city suddenly seemed to take on a new look. Even the people in Hanzhong could not believe that there were so many people in their city.

"It's out, it's finally out!" The place with the densest crowd was naturally Yang Song's mansion in Tianzi Yanju.Today, Liu Xie was going to the Tianshi Mansion to announce the change of the Five Dou Rice Religion into the official state religion. The people waiting here saw the emperor's guard of honor, and they couldn't help but cheered, urging: "Dance quickly! Come on! Knock it up!"

Immediately, gongs, drums and lions danced on the street, and even the firecrackers that were only available during the Chinese New Year were set off, like gruel in a pot, the sound was too loud.One after another, there were crowds of people, cheers were like thunder, and the crowd of spectators blocked the street.

Liu Xie, who was sitting under the canopy, appeared to be having fun with the people on the surface, but in fact he was also a little depressed.He really didn't expect that he saw a lion dance by accident in Yingchuan, and then asked about the origin of the lion dance. As a result, the lion dance suddenly became an indispensable event for the Dahan celebration.

For example, at this time, before Liu Xie's guard of honor, there were at least six lions swaying around those guards of honor.Xu Huang and Zhao Yun on the side were extremely nervous: You know, this kind of lively moment is an extremely difficult task for them to protect Liu Xie.If they don't, those lion dancers may throw away the lions and turn into assassins and charge towards Liu Xie.

"Gongming, Zilong, why do I always feel that something will happen today..." After waving to the people, Liu Xie, a political veteran, was able to keep smiling while talking to his cronies.

"Why is Your Majesty so worried? I see that the conversation between His Majesty and the department teacher a few days ago was very good, and those ministers who received Hanzhong also went to Hanzhong to finalize the details one by one. It's all here, no Is there something else going on?" Although Xu Huang was also a little worried, since Liu Xie asked this first, he wanted to calm Liu Xie's mind.

"Perhaps I was overthinking it, but this incident went too smoothly, and I always feel something is wrong." Liu Xie shook his head. After so many years of ups and downs, he fought wits and bravery every time, which made him very nervous. A bit persecuted paranoia: "Actually, I mainly feel that this day is a bit ominous. On April [-]st, it's like playing with Hanzhong to regain Hanzhong..."

"This..." Zhao Yun couldn't help holding back the words in his mouth, because he really didn't know why the day of April [-]st was like a joke.Didn't Tai Shiling say that this day is a rare and auspicious day for the zodiac?
Fortunately, along the way, no matter how absorbed Xu Huang and Zhao Yun were, and no matter how worried Liu Xie was.In short, less than half an hour later, Liu Xie arrived at Tianshi Mansion smoothly.After accepting the visit from Zhang Lu and other Hanzhong officials, they went to the high platform in the city where Zhang Lu preached, and began to hold this grand sectarian reform ceremony.

Regarding this ceremony, Liu Xie once again fired at those veteran officials in the court.In particular, Kong Rong was the first to bear the brunt, and Liu Xie, who finally caught the opportunity, was scolded bloody.

According to Kong Rong and Da Honglu, this is an important matter of the country, and the ancient system must be followed. First, sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestors, and then burning incense and bathing can be announced to the world.And Liu Xie, who is an impatient merchant, worked overtime to discuss the details of the reform with the Hanzhong side, and immediately wanted to announce the practice to the world.It's just like an old bachelor marrying a wife, it's so unattractive, where does he have the demeanor of a half-sultry man?

However, this debate did not last long at all. When Liu Xie was not in the mansion, he jumped and scolded Kong Rong, who was in charge of this matter: "You all know a fart! I regained Hanzhong, don't you think so?" Is it just to regain Hanzhong? Since ancient times, there have been two roads to Xichuan, one goes upstream up the Yangtze River. But the Three Gorges was blocked by the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, and we still have no access. Now I have managed to get through from Dongchuan to Shu The way to the land, you still want your mother-in-law to delay the unification of the great cause?!"

Those ministers in the outer dynasty were a bit pedantic, but they were all human beings after all. After finally learning Liu Xie's intentions, the plan they came up with for the second time was very satisfactory to Liu Xie: the ceremony was divided into two processes, First, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty gave a speech; then, Comrade Zhang Lu, the new state teacher of the Han Dynasty, the first leader of the Zhengyi Church, and the general of the Han Dynasty's education, gave a speech.Then?Then there is no need for anything and then...

After the ceremony began, Leng Shouguang first read out the imperial edict loudly to the people in Hanzhong, informing the people of the reformation of the Five Dou Rice Sect.Then Liu Xie took the stage, displaying the demeanor of the Tian family and the ceremonial tone of his own integration of the later generations, making his slow voice, elegant speech, proper gestures, and gentle and warm smiles seem to be able to fly with the sword tomorrow. Like a fairy in the world, the common people, businessmen, wealthy families, and rich families can't help but be convinced and respectful.

But if people think carefully about what Liu Xie said, they will find that Liu Xie didn't say anything at all, it was all fake nonsense.

However, even so, Zhang Lu, who came on stage later, felt a lot of pressure.Comrade Zhang Lu's dress today looks like a good master, but after experiencing the power of Liu Xie's brainwashing, it is obvious that he is a little nervous, and even his voice at the beginning is trembling a little .

Liu Xie, who retreated to the side, couldn't help but wanted to laugh. Fortunately, Zhang Lu was also a person who had been rolled in strong winds and waves. After calming down for a while, he slowly said: "Since the ancestor Zhang Tianshi and the late father Zhang Sishi, he has taken heaven and earth as his heart. Living souls are in mind, travel around the world, eliminate harm for the people, and establish a great religion. Those who follow me can't learn the way without sincerity, can't establish virtue without respect, can't serve the king without loyalty, and can't serve relatives without filial piety... ..."

When Zhang Lu opened his mouth, Liu Xie shook his head imperceptibly: It's not that Zhang Lu's speech is not good, it's mainly because Zhang Lu still has his own identity, and what he said is still a bit obscure, making ordinary people confused .

Fortunately, this is just a ceremony, a form.Liu Xie didn't care whether Zhang Lu's speech level was higher than his own.Gradually, Liu Xie's attention was attracted by the jubilant scene. He looked around boredly, and at the same time, he was thinking about the next strategy for Yizhou.

Before he knew it, he frowned slightly, and curiously asked Xu Huang beside him: "Gongming, look at the window above the pavilion, is there a star shining through? It seems to reflect the sunlight arrows?..."

As soon as the brain reacted to this, Liu Xie's pupils suddenly widened.Almost at the same time, a sinister sharp arrow pierced the dazzling sunlight and shot straight at Liu Xie!

"Be careful, Your Majesty!" Xu Huang was shocked immediately, and immediately jumped in front of Liu Xie with a big ax in his hand, trying to block the sharp arrow.The crisp sound of metal intersecting changed the boring atmosphere of the high platform immediately, and everyone could even see the sparks splashing from the sharp edge of the big ax under the sunlight.

"Escort!" The calm Zhao Yun also became anxious at this moment, and he immediately ordered Bai Mayi to come up from the encirclement, ready to protect Liu Xie, and then use the human wall to cover Liu Xie to leave.

However, at this moment, an undetectable muffled sound came from behind Liu Xie.Liu Xie's originally vivid face froze instantly, and then tens of thousands of people present saw the emperors of the Han Dynasty fall to the ground.And behind him, there is a sharp arrow sticking out!
At this moment, Xu Huang's mind exploded, of course he also understood: the star that flashed in the pavilion just now was clearly intended to let Liu Xie notice it.There are more than two hundred steps away from Liu Xiezu, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of precise assassination. The purpose is to let Liu Xie leave his seat, and then make a crossbowman who has been ambushing behind Liu Xie for a long time, easily kill him. Liu Xie shot!

What a brilliant and insidious method!
Xu Huang's eyes were weeping, and he turned away from the grief and indignation of Leng Shouguang lying on the ground desperately trying to wake up Liu Xie, his eyes turned red immediately: "Zhang Lu, how dare you do this?!"
