Chapter 505: Warning to the Imperial Ancestral Temple: Northern Expedition Message
Ma Liang and Yang Hong looked at each other uneasily.
From their previous observation, they could see that Liu Bei was sitting on the throne wearing only the single clothes he wore when sleeping. More importantly, Liu Bei was not wearing any shoes or socks on his feet.
What does this mean?
This shows that after the cheers outside the imperial city reached the palace, Liu Bei was suddenly awakened from his sleep by the cheers.
The grand event outside the imperial city just now took place at noon. What about now?
The sun sets and it's almost dark!
In other words, Liu Bei probably wore single clothes, no shoes and socks, and waited all afternoon for their battle report.
After realizing this, it is normal for Ma Liang and Yang Hong to feel uneasy.
Liu Bei is a benevolent Lord. He is so benevolent that if a minister returns from the palace late at night, Liu Bei will specially send palace guards to escort him.
If this incident were excusable, Liu Bei would not blame him.
But Ma Liang and Yang Hong judged others by themselves, and they must have guessed how eager Liu Bei was to see this battle report just now. In his eager mind, whether Liu Bei would be angry is another matter.
The uneasiness in Ma Liang and Yang Hong's hearts made the hall seem very quiet.
Most of the ministers in Chengdu were sent to Jiange by Liu Bei before. Now, only Ma Liang and Yang Hong are the only ones in Chengdu who are qualified for Liu Bei to receive them regardless of their manners.
And what is Liu Bei doing at this moment?
At this moment, Liu Bei's mind was attracted by the contents of the battle report in his hand.
Liu Bei, whose beard and hair were almost white, his eyesight became worse and worse.
In order to see every word on the battle report clearly, he wanted to rub the battle report in his hand into his eyes.
While reading the contents of the battle report, the beard and hair on Liu Bei's face were also slightly spread.
Although Liu Bei didn't say anything at this time, it can be seen from his wide-open eyes and his trembling hands and feet what kind of turmoil was stirring up in his heart at this time.
After reading the contents of the battle report, Liu Bei stood up from the throne as nimbly as a child and shouted excitedly:
"I believe that since ancient times, there have been famous generals, and I don't know how many people are good at using soldiers. However, these famous generals all have their own strengths in terms of military situation, military strategy, and military formations.
And as for my great general, who can transport water, fire, heaven and earth, can the yin and yang of soldiers ever have the same skills?
The general's strategy is as deep as the abyss, and his prowess is commendable. He is truly a model for famous generals in modern times!"
After Liu Bei excitedly praised Mi Yang, he still felt unsatisfied. He paced back and forth in front of the throne with a look of wonder, murmuring incessantly:
"Such a great achievement must be rewarded heavily!"
But what should be rewarded?
Liu Bei was suddenly in trouble.
On the one hand, Liu Bei was afraid that if the reward was too light, the world would say that he was stingy.
On the other hand, Mi Yang is too young and the reward is too high. What will Liu Chan do in the future?
The contradictory psychology mixed with wonder and excitement made Liu Bei, who had experienced many things in the world, find himself in trouble.
But just when Liu Bei was thinking about this problem, he discovered why the palace was so quiet.
Liu Bei stopped pacing and looked at Yang Hong and Ma Liang with a scrutinizing gaze.
Seeing Liu Bei's displeased look, Yang Hong and Ma Liang felt relieved again.
How could these two wise ministers not understand the meaning of Liu Bei's eyes after being the ruler for many years?
Liu Bei's eyes were saying: Why don't you praise my general?
Realizing this, Yang Hong and Ma Liang had helpless smiles on their lips.
It's not that they don't want to praise him, it's that Liu Bei's praise of Mi Yang is already exaggerated!
Liu Bei praised Mi Yang and described Mi Yang as an unprecedented general who knew the power of heaven and earth.
Moreover, Liu Bei said this praise as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, which was equivalent to endorsing these words with the great righteousness of the Han Dynasty. How could they, as ministers, praise him?
Although Yang Hong and Ma Liang felt quite embarrassed, facing Liu Bei's glaring gaze, they had no choice but to bow to Liu Bei in the end:
Yang Hong: His weapons are magnificent, his demeanor is fierce, he is in the Northern Qing Dynasty, his imperial power is far and wide, he is probably a great general.
Ma Liang: The general is inspired by Heaven's bravery and wisdom, and his mighty force supports the saints. He marches across the sea with drums and commands the four directions. This is Your Majesty's Heavenly policy.
Yang Hong and Ma Liang tried their best to praise Mi Yang with all the praise they could think of, but their praise was sincere.
After all, Mi Yang was able to break Cao Wei's back in one battle, and Mi Yang cannot be praised enough.
Yang Hong and Ma Liang's praise was quite generous, but Liu Bei was still a little dissatisfied after hearing it, so he looked at the chamberlain behind him.
When the chamberlain saw Liu Bei looking at him indiscriminately, he was stunned.
How could he come up with good words to exaggerate about the general because he is such a rough guy?
After holding it in for a long time and his face turned red, the waiter finally could only hold on and praise:
"General, you are awesome!"
Oh my god, this is the best compliment the chamberlain can come up with.
It was obvious that Liu Bei was not satisfied with the compliments given by Yang Hong and Ma Liang, let alone by the servant.
But he also knew the past of the chamberlain, so he did not continue to embarrass the chamberlain.
At this time, Liu Bei regretted why he sent out most of the ministers in the court. If most of the ministers were still there, they would definitely hear praises that suit his heart.
At the same time, Liu Bei also thought, no wonder Emperor Xiaowu was so excited when he learned that the Huns who were beaten by Huo Piaoqi were crying like ghosts and wolves, and ordered the Third Duke to personally celebrate Huo Piaoqi's sword dance.
It’s really uncomfortable to walk in brocade clothes at night!
After reluctantly expressing some of the joy in his heart, Liu Bei turned to the chamberlain and ordered: "Bring me my formal clothes!"
"I want to go to the Taimiao Temple in person!"
When the three people in the hall heard Liu Bei's words, their faces straightened up.
In the current era of respecting the ancestors of heaven and earth, it is extremely important to pay homage to the ancestral temple, especially for the king of a country, the ancestral temple is equivalent to the seat of their legal system.
Liu Bei's purpose in offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple at this time couldn't be simpler - he wanted to tell his ancestors in heaven about the joy in his heart.
The big man is alive!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Liu Bei first became emperor, he built an ancestral temple in the palace to honor the tablets of the late emperors of the Han Dynasty.
The Imperial Ancestral Temple is located in the northeast corner of the imperial city. Liu Bei was very particular about building the Imperial Ancestral Temple here.
The northeast direction is exactly the direction of the two capitals of Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei, wearing a black crown robe, climbed the steps with a solemn expression, and slowly entered the solemn and fireworks-filled Han Dynasty Ancestral Temple in front of him.
Since Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, this Ancestral Temple has been the only place in the world to worship the heroes of the outstanding emperors of the Han Dynasty.
It is also the first symbol that the legal system of the Han Dynasty has not been cut off in the world.
After entering the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Liu Bei stroked the hem of his clothes and knelt heavily under the tablets of the famous emperors of the Han Dynasty.
Taizu Liu Bang, Taizong Liu Heng, Shizong Liu Che, Zhongzong Liu Xun, Shizu Liu Xiu and Xianzong Liu Zhuang are the only tablets of the six ancestors of the Han Dynasty enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
In the Imperial Ancestral Temple, only the emperor's tablet with the temple name can occupy it.
Originally, there were more than just these six emperors with temple names in the Han Dynasty.
But after Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, in order to alert himself, he cut off the temple names of those emperors whose merits were not worthy of their merits. This was also done by Liu Xiu, the founder of the Han Dynasty.
Under Liu Bei's streamlining, the first emperors of the Han Dynasty who now have temple titles are all well-deserved.
Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the six memorial tablets of the late emperors hidden in the incense. His eyes slowly became moist:
"It's unfilial to me to come here today to pay homage to my ancestors."
"But Bei Fei doesn't want to go to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage to the ancestors. It's really because Bei Fei feels guilty.
Since the Zhongping Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has been destroyed and the people have been buried late. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Bei was unable to help the Han Dynasty and save the people from the fire. This is a shame.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Emperor Xiaomin was killed by Cao Cao's thieves. He had a hundred thousand soldiers at his disposal, but he could not save Emperor Xiaomin when he was in danger. This was a double shame.
In the first year of Zhangwu, although Bei reestablished the Han Dynasty in Chengdu, he rebelled against the Wei Dynasty, stole the two capitals, usurped the artifacts, and was worshiped by the princes of the world. This was three shames.
I have three shames in my body. Since I succeeded to the throne, not a day has gone by that I have not been burning with worry, and not a day has gone by that I have not lamented and resented that I am incompetent, that I am incompetent!"
Speaking of this, Liu Bei was already in tears.
No one knows the pain in Liu Bei's heart. Even except for the minister Yuan Cong early in the morning, few people know the price Liu Bei has paid in the past few decades to revive the Han Dynasty.
His body is covered with scars, his wife and son are dead, and the world is humiliating him...
A single kind of suffering would be unbearable for anyone.
But Liu Bei combined so much suffering into one body, which is simply unimaginable.
The most valuable thing is that Liu Bei has never regretted his persistence for decades. He was only worried that he could not realize his ideal of reviving the Han Dynasty.
Even with his years of hard work, today's powerful Han Dynasty dominates the two states of Jing and Yi, but whenever Liu Bei, the powerful Liu Bei of Cao Wei, wants to come late at night, he is still like a rope around his neck, knocking him out of breath.
It also made him feel unspeakable guilt towards his ancestors from the Han Dynasty.
Everyone compares him to the founder Liu Xiu, but how can he do better than the founder Liu Xiu?
But today is different!
Liu Bei tremblingly took out the Liangzhou battle report from his arms. Liu Bei looked at the battle report in his hand like a treasure.
"We have a great general named Mi Yang in our dynasty. He commanded the battle of Liangzhou and destroyed more than 100,000 bandits. There were only two bandits left. With his ability, it was only a matter of time to defeat them.
In this battle, eighty-nine out of ten of the elite troops in Guanzhong who rebelled against Wei were buried in Liangzhou. The opportunity for our army to march north to Guanzhong and return to the old capital has arrived."
Speaking of this, Liu Bei reluctantly glanced at the battle report in his hand.
It was this battle report in his hand that gave him the courage to face the ancestors of the Han Dynasty today.
But then, Liu Bei threw the battle report in his hand into the brazier in front of him.
"Ancestors can watch it."
The flames in the brazier suddenly grew larger after encountering the battle report.
The sudden boiling flames seemed to announce that the heroic spirits of the six emperors of the Han Dynasty in the sky had received this battle report.
After doing this, Liu Bei took out another silk book from his arms.
This silk letter was also sent from Liangzhou together with the battle report.
However, this silk letter was written by Mi Yang himself and was to be presented directly to Liu Bei. Therefore, except Mi Yang and Liu Bei, no one knew the contents of this silk letter.
After Liu Bei took out the silk book, his hands no longer trembled and his eyes became extremely firm.
Regarding this silk letter, Liu Bei did not throw it into the fire pot. He unfolded the silk letter and directly read the contents of the silk letter to the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, word by word.
"Those who pretend to be in the Cao Dynasty are actually treacherous and filthy in nature.
The ancestor of the Cao family, Teng Xichong, was a filial piety to the emperor.
In the late festival, he caused chaos in the palace, secretly involved in supporting the establishment, and secretly plotted his own interests.
When caught by future generations, Pi will kill loyalties in front of the palace. He is jealous and refuses to let others; he harbors evil intentions and his false words can confuse the world.
If you have a lizard as your heart, you will be a wolf by nature, and you will be evil and unruly when you are close to you, you will harm your loyal and good people, and you will kill the king with poison.
Later, he usurped the Han Dynasty and established itself, which was actually hated by both humans and gods, and was not tolerated by heaven and earth!
Today, the clan members of the Han Dynasty are using their anger to secure the country and the country. They are grateful for the kindness of the two Han Dynasties. Due to the disappointment of the world, they follow the support of the inner world and rebuild the country to eliminate evildoers!
Looking at the evil people from ancient times to the present, they have not or will not perish. Moreover, the traitors of the Cao family have exhausted all the bamboos in the Nanshan Mountains, and the crimes are not exhausted; they have broken the waves of the East China Sea, and it is difficult to end the evil.
During the Battle of Liangzhou, the general bowed his armor and sat watching Nanzheng. The thunder and rain came together, and the heaven and earth changed. Then he raised his troops and marched against the Han River to attack the Han River.
A million-strong army is named after the Han army. When you breathe, you will be Han. When you praise, you will flow. When you shout, you will pray. When you are strong, you will be free.
If you use this to attack a city, no city will fall; if you use this to attack a formation, no formation will be destroyed!
For example, in the battle of Nanzheng, the sea was flooded with residual firewood, the Kunlun River was raised to suppress the small eggs, the Han River was tens of thousands, and hundreds of roads were advanced, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops were overturned, and the dead soldiers were not many, and the armor was accumulated.
Then the bear's ears are small.
Due to the opportunity of his great defeat, he took advantage of my opportunity to break the bamboo, and now the generals of Shunren have made a great oath to Nanzheng, and mobilized all the troops of Liang, Jing, and the three states!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Against Wei's accumulation, I have conquered it first. Now that Liangzhou is solid, I will attack Chang'an. If the three states revolt, they will have sufficient food and troops, and they will be invincible!
Cao Pi, a young boy, did not understand military strategy, so he rebelled against the enemy in large numbers and went south to bark at his master, saying that the number of soldiers was enough to keep away from the emperor's power, and his armor was strong enough to escape the heavenly punishment.
But the large number of soldiers and armor is not enough to rely on.
It has been nearly a year since Cao Zhen entered the army.
During this period, there were more than a hundred men who were galloping in an ugly manner, and there were more than a hundred men who were powerful and famous. The rest of the soldiers were brave and brave, and there were countless men who fought for the top spot.
This is known to everyone in the world.
Judging from the previous behavior of the rebel army, Qi Feng marched south, with high ambition and high ambition, seemingly invincible.
However, now they are all wearing swords and axes, their heads and waists are separated, turning into smoke and dust, leaving no remains.
The general holds a machete and an eagle flying, carries water and attracts the wind. Before the soldiers leave the city and before the drum sounds, there will be tens of thousands of corpses lying on the ground, bleeding and drifting in the oars. This is known to everyone in the world!
I don’t know that during the battle in Liangzhou, Cao Zhen fled into the mountains and forests, and his soldiers were scattered in the wilderness. From then on, where did he rely on?
I'm afraid that while his curse words have not stopped, Liangzhou's sword has already sunk into his chest.
Why? The power of God is unstoppable, and the sin of disobedience is serious.
Today, the land in Guanzhong is nothing like reeds, the armies are running away, and the people are in fear. The Holy Dynasty has spread widely, cherishing the lives of the people, and punishing one person without fear of others, so he set up extraordinary rewards for extraordinary merits.
Is it possible to avoid serious responsibility?
For the sake of all the kings, there is no better way than to follow the righteousness of the city, to open the door and send money, to know the changes in the territory, which is enough to make a good talk, and even to the descendants, to keep the wealth and honor for a long time.
The Duke or his family may pass down the title of Han Dynasty, or his family may pass down the Confucian classics. The words are still in his ears, how can he forget his heart when he is loyal?
If we can turn misfortunes into blessings, jointly establish the honor of the diligent king, and do not abolish the old king's orders, all the rewards from the nobles will refer to the mountains and rivers.
If he is attached to a poor city, wanders on the wrong road, and sits ignorant of what happened before, it is a sign that he will be punished later.
Look at who owns the world in today’s realm!”
When he read the last sentence, Liu Bei's tone became particularly heroic.
To this day, he can finally shout this sentence with confidence in front of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty and in front of thousands of living beings in the world!
That big man was beaten back by Mi Yang!
This silk letter was apparently written by Mi Yang himself, a message for the Northern Expedition!
