Ten thousand years of the Han Dynasty!
The Han Dynasty has lasted ten thousand years!
Liu Chan slowly climbed up to the peak of the altar amid the uniform shouts of the great Han Dynasty ministers and the nearby people attending the Fengchan Hall.
The Han Dynasty will last for thousands of years... I also hope that the Han Dynasty can truly last forever, so that the world will have fewer wars, and the people of the world will never suffer from wars.
In the audience seat, a young nobleman had no smile on his face at the moment. The other ministers were laughing wildly, but he was the only one with a calm expression.
This person is Cao Fang, the former emperor of the Wei Dynasty.
But in such a grand ceremony today, he could only act as a spectator, watching his former enemy ascend the altar belonging to the emperor amidst the cheers of the crowd.
Next to Cao Fang are Sima Zhao and his son.
At this time, the Sima family and his son were more excited than the surrounding Han officials. Sima Zhao looked at Cao Fang and asked indifferently: "Marquis Yunyang, have you ever thought about today?"
"Ha!" Cao Fang sneered and ignored Sima Zhao, but in her heart, she thought very hard, you Sima family have the nerve to ask me this? If your father and son were half as loyal as Zhuge Liang, how could the Wei Dynasty be so fast?
Perish?
Sima Zhao wanted to use this to anger Cao Fang, but Cao Fang refused to be fooled.
Although he was once the emperor of Wei and now an ordinary county prince in the Han Dynasty, although his status is indeed quite different, at least the Cao family's bloodline is still preserved, and at least they were once the nobles of the emperor.
Compared with the Sima family, Sima Yi was quick to kill Sima Yi because he was good at power and ruined the country. Sima Zhao and his son rebelled against the Wei Dynasty and surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Their family has long been placed on the pillar of shame, even if the emperor of the Han Dynasty now gives
They all received official titles.
But I'm afraid it will be difficult to cleanse myself of my identity as a son-in-law and traitor.
At least Cao Fang thinks so.
This pair of former monarchs and ministers used to target each other, but today's protagonists are not them, because history has followed the trajectory of the Han Dynasty.
As he stepped onto the last step, Liu Chan stood firmly on the altar. He paused for a moment before turning around and looking behind him. He was waiting for Queen Zhang Yang to stand aside. In front of him was the mighty man's vast country and the mountains and rivers under the altar.
tens of thousands of subjects.
"Fengchan Taishan! The ceremony begins!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The mountain's cry of "Long Live the Mountain" resounded throughout the heaven and earth. Liu Chan held a jade butterfly in his hand, stood on the top of Mount Tai, looked up to the sky and shouted: "I, Liu Chan, Emperor of the Han Dynasty, have been on the throne for thirty-nine years since I came to the throne in the first year of Jianxing (AD 223).
.....I have pacified the Western Regions, destroyed Dongwu, defeated Cao Wei, and finally unified the world. Today there is peace and the people live and work in peace and contentment!"
"Emperor, Heaven, Empress, bless me, a great man!"
Liu Chan completed the worship of heaven and earth with the most pious etiquette. After saying "Emperor, Heaven and Queen Earth, bless me, great man," Liu Chan put the jade butterfly sacrificial words in his hand into the big cauldron.
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
This was the first time Liu Chan recited such a long sacrificial verse, and until this moment, he could finally relax.
After the sacrifice to heaven was over, Liu Chan did not immediately step down from the altar, but looked at the subjects under the altar.
Zhuge Liang and other civil and military officials were all a little confused.
"What is your Majesty going to do?"
Xu Shu asked Zhuge Liang with some confusion, but Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly and said: "Your Majesty did not propose the end of the Feng Chan, and there are other projects."
"This——"
Zhuge Liang really didn't know that according to the original etiquette, Liu Chan finished reading the memorial text, which meant that the ceremony of enshrining Mount Tai was over, and the rest were some incidental activities that would last until the evening.
But at this time, the emperor was still standing on the altar.
What is he going to do?
Just when the civil and military monarchs and ministers were surrounded, Liu Chan suddenly opened his arms slightly, and then said loudly again: "From the beginning of Emperor Ling, the Yellow Turbans were in chaos and the people of the world were in dire straits. The late emperor raised troops in Zhuo County, and I brought peace to the world and revived the Han Dynasty.
.....In the past few decades, tens of thousands of soldiers have sacrificed their lives to achieve peace in the world today."
What does it mean?
Liu Chan suddenly said these words, and all the officials were a little confused.
Because of these emotions, after the capital was moved to Chang'an, the emperor would say a few words from time to time to comfort the hearts of civil and military ministers.
Today is Taishan Fengchan, why is he here again?
Liu Chan paused and said: "Peace and prosperity are hard-won, and ministers who have made meritorious services must be remembered by the world..." As he said that, Liu Chan looked at the subjects under the altar, and then looked up at the sky.
"Today I not only want to enshrine Mount Tai, but also reward those who have made great contributions!"
Ha!
As soon as Liu Chan said these words, the civil and military officials were immediately overjoyed, because almost everyone present, more or less, had made various contributions to the return of the Han Dynasty to Zhengshuo.
Now the emperor has used the title of Zen and Mount Tai to confer meritorious ministers.
Just when the civil and military ministers were excited, two maids on the altar opened a scroll in front of Liu Chan.
This scroll is nine feet long and three feet wide, and the back is made of bright yellow satin.
"Seal——"
In the midst of everyone's expectations, Liu Chan immediately said loudly: "Combine the former general Guan Yu as the King of Wu'an..."
Hiss——
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking one of his edicts, it immediately caused an uproar, which was beyond everyone's expectation.
Emperor Gaozu once said: No one who is not the Liu family can be crowned king.
But at this time, the emperor made Guan Yu the King of Wu'an. Was this to break the ancestral system of Emperor Gaozu?
If this precedent is set, will more kings with different surnames appear in the future?
But——
This is the top of Mount Tai, not the court. Even if the ministers who have objections want to dissuade them, they can't. After all, on the top of Mount Tai, in addition to the high-ranking civil and military officials of the imperial court, there are tens of thousands of common people, as well as the Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty.
.
After Liu Chan finished sealing Guan Yu, he deliberately paused and then looked at his subjects.
The distance was too far, and he couldn't see the expressions of the courtiers.
But——
He could feel that the ministers must have doubts.
But he didn't care. He continued: "The late cavalry general Zhao Fei was named the King of Wuyi, Huang Zhong was named the King of Loyalty, Zhao Yun was named the King of Martial Arts, and Ma Chao was named the King of Righteousness and Bravery..."
All the five tiger generals were crowned kings, and then he said: "You must want to remind me that the great ancestor once said that no one other than the Liu family can be crowned king."
"This is an ancestral system, and I will never forget it!"
"However, the above five people have all made great achievements for our great Han Dynasty. Now that they have passed away, I specially designate them as kings with different surnames, but this title cannot be hereditary."
Alas!
When Liu Chan finished speaking, the descendants of the aforementioned King Wu were still a little excited, because according to ancient rituals, the title of king can be hereditary.
In other words, some of them will be hereditary.
But now I discovered that the emperor appointed five generals as kings, and only they were qualified to serve. As for their heirs, they were not qualified to inherit.
Of course——
Liu Chan made this decision for a long time, because in history, Guan Yu was named emperor in later dynasties.
Then don’t trouble future kings, I’ll get it right in one step.
Then, he conferred the title of Duke of Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and other civil servants and military generals, among whom Zhuge Liang was Duke of Langya and Xu Shu was Duke of Nanyang, but they did not set up fiefdoms.
Then, other civil and military ministers were granted rewards, including five as kings, twelve as dukes, thirty-six as county marquis, and one hundred and eight as township marquis, etc.
At the bottom of the list is Sima Zhao, who was named Qingxiang Marquis.
"Long live my emperor! Long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
All the officials who had been granted the title, as well as the officials who had not been granted the title, tens of thousands of people shouted long live in unison.
Wait until their mountains shout long live.
Liu Chan and other palace maids put away the scrolls, and he threw them into the cauldron. This was also regarded as an edict to them in front of the emperor, the emperor, and the empress.
This award is absolutely unprecedented.
All civil and military officials were excited.
Then, Liu Chan said with a smile: "My lords, in order to set an example for the meritorious generals, I have decided to build a purple gold pavilion on the top of Mount Tai. In this pavilion, all the portraits of the five kings, the twelve princes, and the thirty-six county princes will be erected.
Written for future generations of monarchs, ministers and people to look up to."
What does it mean?
Zhuge Liang was also stunned.
Zijin Pavilion——
This is the first time he has heard of it, and he has also written portraits of five kings, twelve princes, and thirty-six county princes. This is a great honor.
It should be unprecedented.
Of course, Liu Chan didn't know whether it existed before the Han Dynasty, but after the Han Dynasty, he knew that it definitely existed.
For example, the Tang Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty both had this approach.
Liu Chan has now unified the world and created three kingdoms in the Western Regions. This is unprecedented in itself, so he wants to let the heroes and generals who have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty in the past few decades spread their deeds through the ages and become a model for future generations to learn from.
role model.
Three days later——
After consecrating Mount Tai, Liu Chan led the civil and military ministers all the way west and returned to Chang'an City. In the following days, he felt that he could enjoy the happiness of his family.
As for the construction of Zijin Pavilion, it was left to the consort Zhuge Zhan to take full responsibility.
September 20, 262 AD.
Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Palace.
Liu Chan was checking some recent government affairs, which could be regarded as checking for the prince Liu Chen, but at this moment, a eunuch came in from outside.
"Your Majesty!"
"Prime Minister, please see me!"
"Xiangfu?" Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, because after the Fengchan Taishan was over, in order to let Zhuge Liang have a good rest, Liu Chan had already announced that the prime minister did not need to attend the five-day court meeting.
Today is neither a court meeting nor an important day. Why did Zhuge Liang enter the palace?
"Please quickly!" Liu Chan said.
Not long after, Zhuge Liang walked slowly into the Xuanshi Hall, first saluted Liu Chan, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am here to resign!"
"Xiangfu!" Liu Chan was stunned.
He had already guessed that this day would come. Before he attacked Rome, Zhuge Liang had submitted his resignation. However, at that time, Liu Chan wanted to attack Rome and the prince was young, so he hoped that the old prime minister would assist the left prince.
Now that several years have passed, Liu Chan thought he had forgotten.
But he didn't forget.
"Your Majesty, the old minister had a word with the late emperor about the affairs of the late emperor's thatched cottage and his counselors. When the Han Dynasty is restored in the future, the old minister should return to his hometown."
"Now that the country is unified, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the long-cherished wish of our veterans has been fulfilled."
"Please allow your majesty to allow me to return to my hometown with honor."
"Xiangfu!" Liu Chan stood up, came to Zhuge Liang, helped him up, and asked, "Where does Xiangfu want to go after he retires?"
Because Zhuge Liang said he was going to return to his hometown, is it really Wollongong, Nanyang?
"Return to your majesty!" Zhuge Liang said: "The old minister discussed with Xu Yuanzhi and decided to go to Meicen Mountain to take care of himself!"
"Mecen Mountain?" Liu Chan was stunned when he heard this and said, "My father-in-law wants to go to Putuo Mountain?"
"Mount Putuo?" Zhuge Liang was also stunned!
"Yes!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "Mecen Mountain will be renamed Putuo Mountain in the future. It will be a holy land of Buddhism and the dojo of the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Chan had had adventures and had visited the future world, so Liu Chan did not hide it from him. When he heard about Mei Censhan, he was also a little excited.
I thought that Xu Yuanzhi really knows how to choose places.
Putuo Mountain has beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery, making it a good place for seclusion.
"In that case!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "I will rename this mountain Putuo Mountain, hahaha!"
"My Xiangfu!" Liu Chan suddenly choked up and said, "I really envy my Xiangfu. From now on, I live among the ordinary peaks, and I still have to face the government affairs of these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang seemed a little angry and said: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty. How can you say such angry words? The emperor should govern the country..." He paused and said seriously:
"Your Majesty, the prince has reached adulthood. He can help your majesty in government affairs. I also hope that your majesty will be diligent in government affairs after the old ministers leave and never neglect national affairs."
"Don't worry, Xiangfu!" Liu Chan saluted Zhuge Liang and said, "I will remember Xiangfu's teachings and will always remember them and live up to his trust."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang thanked him. Of course he believed Liu Chan. The current emperor is no longer the Adou he was many years ago. He is now an upright emperor. He no longer needs veterans like him and Xu Shu.
Assisting the left, he can manage this great river and mountain.
Finally, Zhuge Liang bowed in admiration and said: "I bid farewell to Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will take good care of the dragon body. If there is a fate in the next life, I will be your Majesty's minister again."
"Xiangfu!" Liu Chan stopped him hastily, not wanting Zhuge Liang to continue talking.
Why does this sound like a farewell message?
But Zhuge Liang did say goodbye in front of him. After all, he was over eighty years old. If the emperor had not encountered an unexpected encounter, he would have died of illness in Wuzhangyuan thirty years ago.
Living thirty more years is a gift from God and a gift from the emperor.
Now that we're apart, in his opinion, there's probably no chance of seeing each other again.
After all, Putuo Mountain is still a bit far away from Chang'an, and after he left, he did not want to return to the old place of Chang'an. He just wanted to be with the mountains and enjoy the last time of his life.
On the third day after bidding farewell to Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, together with more than ten obedient servants, quietly left Chang'an City. They did not take away any relatives, only two old men and the servants who served them.

Liu Chan stood on the top of the Weiyang Palace, looked eastward, and said calmly: "Father, we will meet again!"
