Lu Dynasty

Chapter 401 Enthronement Ceremony (2)
Dong Zhao was depressed. Originally, he wanted to call Liu Bian a fake regardless of whether he was real or not.Now that Kong Rong is making such a fuss, even if it is fake, it will become true, not to mention that Liu Bian is true in the first place!Dong Zhao shook his head helplessly. In fact, many of the envoys sent by the princes had the same idea as Dong Zhao. Unfortunately, it is useless for them to question Liu Bian now, because they do not have the prestige of Kong Rong. high.

Kong Rong looked at Liu Bian who was on the high platform and didn't know what it was like.Just now Kong Rong asked Liu Bian to let him stay, but Liu Bian agreed without even thinking about it.If it was in Xuchang, without Cao nodding, Liu Xie just wanted to find a servant to help him with some private matters!

Although the matter of Kong Rong was just an episode, he saved me a lot of trouble.Liu Bian is not in the mood to control Kong Rong now, he is walking step by step to the top of the stage.In fact, the enthronement ceremony is mainly about the cumbersome procedure of offering sacrifices to heaven, and Liu Bian needs to go up and do it himself, and other things, as long as the servants are ready.After Liu Bian stood on the high platform to worship, he secretly ignited the gunpowder placed under the altar, and the people in the audience saw that the platform where Chen put the sacrifice suddenly exploded, revealing a piece of jade seal.Liu Bian stepped forward and held up the jade seal and shouted to the audience: "Heaven bestows the jade seal of the country, my man will surely prosper!" Although it felt fake, the people in the audience were very excited.Under the leadership of Zang Ba's troops, the people in the stands shouted in unison: "Long live! Long live!"

All of this was planned by me and Guo Jia, and the gunpowder was made by me with the most basic formula.The sound is not small, but the power is not very great.Just say that the altar where the sacrifices are placed, if there is no manipulation, it will not explode at all.Now that Liu Bian had obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, a servant came up to the high platform holding several imperial edicts.Liu Bian first took out the edict of succession and stamped it on the jade seal of the country, and then read it out to the servants.

The servant received Liu Bian's imperial decree and read: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty said: Here is Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, the son of Liu Hong, the Ling emperor of the Han Dynasty. Reluctantly succeeded to the throne as emperor. Today Liu Xie fell into the hands of the rebel Cao. He was first bullied by Xu Tian, ​​and then humiliated by his concubine. King Hongnong gave up his life of seclusion in order to save the people of the Han Dynasty, regardless of his own safety. I was ordered by heaven to resolutely appear in troubled times, and I will be enthroned as emperor today! Thank you!" The servant had just finished reading, and Liu Bian handed over the imperial edict questioning Liu Xie's legitimacy.As soon as the servant read out the call to action written by Liu Ye, Dong Zhao panicked.

Kong Rong was very proud of standing in the queue of civilian officials under my command.Cao's thoughts on Kong Rong, how could someone like Kong Rong, who has been slick since childhood, not see it?In history, Kong Rong was killed with peace of mind not only because of his loyalty to the emperor, but also because no princes could protect him.Death sooner or later is death. Since he couldn't escape the fate of being killed by Cao, Kong Rong gave up.Now that Liu Bian has ascended the throne, Kong Rong is loyal to Liu Bian if he serves Liu Bian, and I am a prince no worse than Cao Cao, so Kong Rong surrendered to me.Besides, based on the relationship between Kong Rong and Cai Yong, he must have chosen me.Dong Zhao looked at Kong Rong's proud expression from the side, and gritted his teeth in hatred!
The servant has finished reading the call to action, which means that Cao and I have completely broken up.However, Cao and I have long been psychologically prepared for this.Listening to the servant read out the call to action, I secretly said in my heart: Brother Meng De, I'm sorry, we will be your life-and-death opponents from now on!I was in a daze and suddenly felt a numbness in my waist. When I looked up, it turned out that it was Lu Bu who stabbed me.Just as I was about to call him, I heard the servant on the high platform say, "Your Majesty, please invite Mr. Lu Feng!" It turned out that Lu Bu was calling me for Liu Bian.

It was not planned for Liu Bian to invite me to the throne, but now that Liu Bian has succeeded to the throne, as a subject, I have to listen to what he says.At the very least, he is my boss!I walked up to the high platform helplessly, and said in Liu Bian's ear, "Bian'er, what are you doing? Why didn't you follow the plan!"

"Brother Lu, just let me be self-willed once, can you?" Seeing me standing beside him, Liu Bian shouted loudly to the audience: "Since the death of my father, I have been punished by Shi Changshi and Dong Zhuozhi. Chaos, if not for the protection of Mr. Lu Feng, I would have died in Jiuquan long ago. As the saying goes: "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Although I am the emperor, the emperor is also a human being. Since I am a human being, I should repay my favor! A few days ago, someone It is said that Mr. Lu is a traitor of the big man, but what I want to say is that Mr. Lu is the real loyal minister of the big man, and I have already recognized Mr. Lu Feng as my elder brother! I wanted to make Lu Feng the emperor's brother and regent, but he insisted. The resignation is not acceptable, so today I proclaim to the world that Lu Feng is my imperial brother. Although he has not been crowned king, he is better than being crowned king! I specially appointed Lu Feng as prime minister, prime minister of government affairs, and Lu Bu, Lu Feng's younger brother, as general in charge of military affairs , This is it!" Liu Bian's words made the people under my rule jump for joy.After all, most of these people were saved by me.The ancient Chinese people are so lovely, as long as you treat them better, they will support you unconditionally, even if they sacrifice their lives for it.

Liu Bian rewarded me and Lu Bu like this, in the eyes of other princes, I just made him empty!I said to Liu Bian: "Bian'er, I know you have good intentions, but in this way, you will become a puppet in the eyes of others!"

"Don't worry, Brother Lu! How many of those princes are your opponents? I don't care what they think! I asked Mr. Guo, and I know that this is the maximum you can accept. Although I didn't discuss it with you beforehand , but I know that if I ask you, you will definitely not agree!" Liu Bian said loudly before I could speak, "Now I announce that from now on the big man will no longer have a new era name, and from next year it will be The first year of the Han Dynasty, from then on, will be recorded by the name of the country! In addition, I announce that from now on, the people of my Han Dynasty will be exempted from kneeling, except for offering sacrifices to heaven and worshiping their parents! Even if you see me, bow Just salute yourself!" Liu Bian knew that I hated kneeling, but if I was exempted, I would be the target of public criticism.After all, etiquettes such as not going to the court and not being famous are only enjoyed by great heroes. I, a young man in his thirties, enjoy such privileges just because he saved Liu Bian's life. It will make people think that I am too arrogant of.So Liu Bian simply avoided the kneeling ceremony of the whole Han people, anyway, in his heart, he would not last long as an emperor.

The enthronement ceremony ended soon, but what happened at the ceremony made the envoys of all the princes feel a great crisis. Dong Zhao was most worried, so he flew to Xuchang directly after the ceremony, but I Here are two unexpected guests!
