The guards shouted loudly, which frightened several slaves so much that their calves trembled. They thought, "Why don't we leave?"
Some other good people seemed to be watching the fun.
On weekdays, they find it strange that soldiers bully slaves.
Strictly speaking, slaves cannot be considered human beings. They are just like animals, a group that can be slaughtered by others.
"General, we know our mistake!"
"General!"
I wanted to come and watch the excitement, but I didn’t want to get into trouble. At this time, maybe I could escape a whipping by begging for mercy.
Several slaves were all kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.
"Hahaha!"
“I don’t care about my own identity either.”
"Slaves also want to attend the ceremony!"
The people who lined up in line began to chatter and add jealousy, just to see these slaves being punished in public.
"Quiet!"
The leading guard suddenly shouted loudly, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
Although the status of common people is higher than that of slaves, their status is only higher than that of slaves. In front of these soldiers, they are nothing.
So when the guard shouted loudly, everyone shut their mouths. Several slaves on the ground were trembling all over, and they were ready to be whipped, or punched and kicked.
But——
An accident occurred at this time. Not only did the guards not embarrass the slaves, but the leading guard also quickly walked up to the slaves and gently helped them up.
"You all get up quickly!"
"You don't have to be afraid!"
The guards' words made the people around them look stunned, wondering what was going on. When did soldiers become so polite to slaves?
Before they could react, the guard said loudly in front of everyone: "There are no more slaves here, only common people." Then he said to several slaves: "You, like them, are all common people, all common people."
!"
As soon as these words came out, the people at the scene were stunned.
They had heard before that there were no slaves in the country established by the Han people.
It’s just that they heard about it and didn’t see it with their own eyes.
Now that the imperial guards have said so, it seems that those rumors are true.
"Are we not slaves anymore?"
"Are we really no longer slaves?"
One of the slaves looked a little excited and kept asking the guard. The guard said affirmatively: "Yes, you are no longer slaves, you are all common people now."
"Let's get in line!" After the guard finished speaking, he didn't care how happy the slaves were, and said to them with a smile: "At three o'clock in the morning, the ceremony begins. Please hurry up and line up to enter."
After saying these words, the guard led his companions and returned to their original positions.
Although the Municipal Square is not small, the number of people it can accommodate is still limited. The left and right sides are full of people, and it can only accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people at most.
After some investigation, it was found that at 2:00 a.m., people were already standing on both sides of the square. The remaining people could only find the best position on the periphery to watch the ceremony.
Winter, winter, winter.
With the sound of three war drums, the noisy sound in the square quickly quieted down, followed by several more horn blasts.
Woo, woo, woo.
When the drums and trumpets sounded, everyone's eyes were attracted to the guard of honor on the east side.
A middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe walked in front, followed by dozens of palace maids and eunuchs, and after that, a luxuriously dressed honor guard.
The man in the dragon robe is the Han Emperor Liu Chan.
Liu Chan had just entered, and the guards on both sides shouted in unison:
"Long live your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
"Long live your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
"Long live your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
In order to separate the people from the red carpet, a distance of ten steps was left on both sides of the red carpet. At these ten steps, there were guards standing neatly. There were about three guards on both sides of the red carpet.
Five thousand people.
Counting the thousands of guards outside, their roars at this time were already loud.
Just when they shouted the first sound, the people in the square followed suit and learned to shout broken Chinese.
"Long live your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
"Long live your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Chan was very satisfied with this scene. This is what a monarch should enjoy.
Listening to the shouts of the soldiers and civilians, Liu Chan slowly stepped on the red carpet and walked towards the high platform in front. The soldiers and civilians cheered along the way. It was not until he reached the top of the high platform that the shouts in the square ended.
This high platform is about three feet high. In the past, it was used by Roman emperors to review troops or to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings. At this time, there was a large bronze cauldron standing on the top of the high platform.
On one side of the high platform, stood more than ten big men, high-level civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Chan first lit three pillars of incense, and then inserted the three sticks of incense into the cauldron. This is etiquette.
After offering the incense, Liu Chan sat on a dragon chair on the high platform, which Liu Yan had specially ordered to build over the past twenty days.
Liu Yan was also standing on the side of the high platform at the moment. After Liu Chan took his seat, he stood in front of the stage. Just when Liu Yan walked to the front desk, there was a guard in golden armor, snapping, snapping, and whipping three times in a row.
After the three whips, Liu Yancai loudly read Liu Chan's edict:
"By God's blessing, His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty decreed!"
"In order to save the thousands of people in Europe from fire and water, I had no choice but to lead the royal army to march westward here. Now all the Roman cities have surrendered, in order to bring peace and stability to Europe."
"Now I have decided to establish the Great Qin Kingdom here!"
Originally the edict was very complicated, but Liu Chan felt that even if it was translated, the Romans might not be able to fully understand it, so it would be better to make it simpler.
The Han Dynasty's Western Expedition was not first of all to occupy land, but to save thousands of people in Europe from fire and water. This is not nonsense. Liu Chan had been to Rome before. The gap between the rich and the poor in the Roman Empire was huge, and the lives of the nobles were extremely miserable.
Extravagant, but ordinary people live a very poor life.
This does not include the oppressed slaves.
Therefore, the first thing that needs to be pointed out in the edict is the rationality of the Han Dynasty sending troops.
Concise and concise, everyone can understand.
Then, Liu Yan took out another edict and read it loudly: "Liu Tan, the eldest son of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, has been kind since he was a child, and he is good at conquering and fighting. He is good at filial piety. He has won my heart. Now I specially ennoble the eldest son of the Emperor Liu Tan.
, the first generation king of the Great Qin Kingdom—I appreciate this!”
When Liu Yan's edict was read out, three more drum trumpets sounded in the square.
Winter, winter, winter.
Woo, woo, woo.
After the three drums and trumpets sounded, another honor guard slowly walked out on the east side of the square, where Liu Chan had previously appeared. In front of the honor guard was a young man wearing a gorgeous royal robe.
Surrounded by others, he slowly walked onto the red carpet.
This young man is more than eight feet tall, with a strong body and a heroic look between his brows.
This young man is none other than Liu Tan, the eldest son of the Han Emperor.
Liu Tan walked very slowly. This was not the first time for the Han Dynasty to be granted a title after the founding of the country, but it was the most solemn one, because previously in Fulousha, Liu Chan decreed that Liu Rui and Liu Yan were the kings of the Tang and Ming Dynasties.
It's not that complicated.
That is to say, a simple edict in Fulusa Palace is regarded as a ceremony.
But today is different. The preparation time for this canonization ceremony took more than half a month, which is enough to prove that the father attaches great importance to his son.
