The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

Liu Hong looked up at the auspicious clouds and nodded slightly. He then signaled Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to arrange the offerings and ritual vessels and gradually send them to the altar. Then he said to Wang Li, "Then let's continue."

"Here."

The Grand Historian bowed and gestured to Dong Fu beside him to deliver the gift vessel held by a servant to Emperor Liu Hong.

"You need to use six instruments to summon the real dragon, and your majesty must hold the jade disk in your hands to pay homage to the heavens first."

The six utensils are six kinds of ritual utensils for offering sacrifices to heaven: jade bi for heaven, jade cong for earth, jade gui for the east, jade hu for the west, jade zhang for the south, and jade huang for the north.

Liu Hong did not need to complete all the rituals. He only needed to hold the jade disk and worship the sky, and the real dragon would sense the call and come on the auspicious clouds.

Nodding slightly, Liu Hong picked up the middle one from the six green jade pieces that were of different shapes but emitted a hazy green light.

Then he slowly walked to the altar, holding the jade disk in both hands, and bowed to the sky.

Suddenly, wisps of green emanated from Liu Hong's body and were injected into the jade disk. The jade disk then emitted a faint light, which spread towards the sky and the ground with Liu Hong as the center, like a spring breeze and drizzle.

The tired ministers felt refreshed after feeling it, and when this light touched the auspicious clouds in the sky, the clouds suddenly surged up.

Wang Li looked up and Dong Fu's expression changed slightly, but Liu Hong still looked at the sky calmly, with no abnormality in his expression.

"roar~"

Another dragon roar came.

Then everyone saw the auspicious clouds in the sky suddenly gathered into a circle, and then a real dragon's five yellow claws stretched out from the center of the circle. Then, a mighty real dragon with a candle-like flame in its mouth poked half of its body out from the circle of auspicious clouds.

"Yes, it's a real dragon!!"

"Is this a real dragon? How majestic and magnificent it is..."

"The breath of the divine beast is so majestic that it seems as if my mind has become active."

……

The appearance of the real dragon made all the officials excited, and Dong Fu on the altar also breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Hong also nodded slightly, but he knew that this was only the first step, the sacrifice to heaven was not over yet, and his goal had not been achieved.

"The real dragon has appeared, let's continue." After Liu Hong finished speaking, he found that Wang Li was still looking up at the sky, so he asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Wang Li came to his senses and quickly bowed his head to respond.

But I still have doubts in my mind: Why is it Zhulong? Shouldn't it be Yinglong?

Although Zhulong is also a real dragon, he learned from ancient books that the real dragons summoned for sacrifices to heaven are all Yinglong, which represents supreme auspiciousness.

However, Wang Li did not dare to think too much. Although it was different from the description in ancient books, Zhulong was also a real dragon, and that was enough.

"Stop beating the drums, stop playing the music, then, bring in the sacrificial offerings—"

The so-called "Jinzu" means placing meat of cattle, sheep, and sacred beasts on the ritual vessels on the altar.

After Wang Li finished speaking, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong began to direct the palace servants holding various kinds of exquisite meat to go up to the altar one after another and place them in the ritual vessels on the altar.

After the ceremony was successfully completed, Wang Li looked at Liu Hong and bowed, "Your Majesty, I will have to trouble you to lay the coin next."

"Dianbi" is when the person with the highest status holds up a bowl of wine and sprinkles it on the ground to comfort the ancestors.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong was naturally the person with the highest status in the world, and only he was qualified to lay the coin.

Liu Hong walked forward, picked up the golden bowl of sake handed to him by the servant, and poured it in front of the altar. Then Wang Li shouted again.

“A gift!”

The drums and music started again, and all the talented people around Wang Li who were gifted with the skills of divination and astrology sat on the ground and closed their eyes.

For a moment, everyone saw that the sacrificial items on the altar seemed to be extracted, and many white illusory lights emerged and floated towards the sky like smoke.

Floated towards Zhulong.

The Zhulong in the auspicious clouds opened its mouth and inhaled all the "smoke". Then, its body moved slightly, and its figure became more visible.

At this time, Wang Li also nodded to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong understood that the most critical step had arrived.

He looked at Zhang Rang, who immediately lowered his head, then took a long sword from the attendant, knelt in front of Liu Hong, and raised the sword above his head with both hands.

After Liu Hong took it, he drew out his sword and glanced at Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang, noticing his gaze, quickly lowered his head even deeper.

Liu Hong then walked towards the altar, slowly raised his arm, and gently wiped it with his fingers.

The cold light of the long sword was stained with blood.

Liu Hong raised his sword to the sky again, and his blood turned into strands of red lines that flew towards the sky, and then actually touched the whiskers of Zhulong.

"Roar."

Zhulong opened his mouth and hummed softly, and Liu Hong's body swayed immediately.

"His Majesty!"

"Yeah." Liu Hong stretched out his hand to stop Wang Li from coming to support him.

Then he slowly stood up and looked at the real dragon in the sky. The luster on his face became more rosy and the look in his eyes became brighter.

"I need you to give me three years of life, okay?"

Liu Hong asked the real dragon in the sky.

Zhulong hummed softly again, and Liu Hong instantly felt his vitality increasing rapidly. The world he saw in his eyes was no longer gray, but the gray world was extending backwards.

It was extended for three months, five months, one year, two years, three years...

Wang Li and others saw Liu Hong's vigorous state, and immediately showed ecstasy on their faces. They knelt down and shouted: "Long live His Majesty!"

Upon seeing this, all the officials and nobles knelt down and kowtowed.

"Long live your majesty!"

"Your Majesty has obtained the real dragon to prolong his life! The Han Dynasty will rise!" Wang Li shouted again.

Liu Hong also smiled, and an unprecedented sense of pride arose in his heart. He turned around and shouted loudly to all the officials and dukes.

"I have the spirit of the divine beast, and the Han Dynasty will prosper!"

"The big man is in high spirits!"

"The big man is in high spirits!"

All officials and nobles responded.

Wang Yun and Cai Yong fell to the ground in tears, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and the other ten eunuchs were trembling, and He Jin and others also had a slight change of expression, but they still knelt on the ground and shouted together.

The Emperor has obtained the true dragon energy, and the Han Dynasty is really going to prosper.

No one dared to say anything against this. Under the sound of drums and extremely mysterious music, everyone's face showed varying degrees of joy or fear.

Liu Hong laughed out loud.

He reached out and raised the sword above his head.

"Bring me the River Map! I want to swear an oath here!"

Zhao Zhong beside him hurried to get the River Map. In less than two breaths, Zhao Zhong presented the exquisite wooden box containing the River Map to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong took the River Map from the box and placed it flat on the sword in his hand.

"I swear to heaven here that I have the spirit of a divine beast and the will of heaven, and I will lead the people..."

Common people...what?

All the officials and nobles who were kneeling on the ground, as well as the Ten Eunuchs and Wang Li who were also kneeling on the altar, all had this doubt in their minds.

Why did His Majesty stop in the middle of his oath? Did he not remember what to say next?

This must be impossible. Although His Majesty enjoyed himself before, his talent surpassed that of ordinary nobles. How could he be speechless, unless...

Liu Zhaoqing in the square secretly raised his head and his pupils shrank instantly.

He saw that the red lines that originally connected Liu Hong and the real dragon had turned black, and a thick black aura was emanating from Liu Hong's body.

Liu Zhaoqing instantly looked up at the Zhulong.

The shape of "Zhulong" changed, and it turned into a terrifying creature that had never been seen before, but in just a moment, its shape disappeared into the auspicious clouds.

The next second, Liu Hong on the altar spat out a stream of dark blood, and then his body fell on the altar.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"

The emperor, who was full of energy just a second ago, suddenly vomited blood and fell on the altar!

All the officials and nobles were stunned where they were.

Zhang Rang on the stage also reacted immediately, waved his hand and shouted loudly.

"Quickly call the imperial physician!"

"Zhao Zhong, quickly go get the Millennium Auspicious Beast Pill!"

The power of the Ten Eunuchs comes from the imperial power. If the emperor is ill, they will also be in danger.

Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang on the altar immediately took action to rescue Liu Hong, while the ministers who had reacted in the audience had already started crying, and the sounds of drums and music had long since disappeared.

For a moment, the place that was once thriving was suddenly in chaos.

Wang Li, who was kneeling, stared blankly at the sky above his head. He found that the auspicious clouds had turned black and the real dragon had disappeared.

Then he saw a black piece of wood in front of his knee.

"This is... the River Map."

Wang Li subconsciously picked up the River Map and held it above his head.

In the sunlight, he saw the word "fire" which represents "the rise of the Han Dynasty."

But suddenly, he found another word next to the word "fire". The word was twisted and unrecognizable when viewed alone, but when combined with the word "fire", it was...

"Extinguish..."

Wang Li was so frightened that he dropped it to the ground.

"Crack!"

The river map that fell to the ground instantly broke into two halves.

Suddenly, a loud noise without any source resounded through the sky, the dark auspicious clouds above the sky dissipated instantly, and the scorching sun shone directly on the earth.

At the same time, a circle of even more dazzling white appeared around the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, burning people's eyes and hurting people's skin like a rainbow.

Seeing such a celestial phenomenon, Dong Fu's old face was so shocked that it almost lost its luster. His gray beard was trembling and he was muttering in fear.

"This is a white rainbow piercing the sun..."

"The river map collapsed, a white rainbow pierced the sun, the Great Man... the Great Man..."

Chapter 100: Chaos in Luoyang

Dong Fu didn't dare to say it, the alchemists on the altar didn't dare to say it, and the officials and nobles below the altar didn't dare to say it.

But in this situation, a sentence suddenly popped up in everyone's mind.

The Han Dynasty is about to perish...

The white rainbow in the sky made the entire Weiyang Palace and even Luoyang appear pale, as if they had just emerged from a dark cave, with nothing visible.

Ordinary people who were beating drums and playing music fell to the ground and cried and screamed. Some civil officials even covered their chests, because they were uncomfortable with the light of the white rainbow, and they were also sad that the emperor could not offer sacrifices to heaven.

The emperor had fallen unconscious on the altar, and no one shouted for silence at this time.

Order naturally cannot be maintained.

The team of officials and nobles, which numbered at least 300 people, suddenly fell into chaos.

"A white rainbow piercing the sun... a very ominous sign. Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in danger!"

"The real dragon is gone too... What the hell is going on?!"

"My eyes, ah!"

"This white rainbow is getting hotter and hotter. It's directed at the Weiyang Palace! This is the wrath of heaven, the wrath of heaven!"

"Run for your life! Run!"
