As soon as they arrived at Mao Shi, Luo County had already woken up. Today the emperor was going to pay homage to the martyrs, so everyone had to make preparations. At this time, they had to prepare for the sacrifice later. They had to bathe, change clothes, and dress neatly.
When we went out, the sky was bright, and the sound of barking dogs could be heard from all over the place. Most of the wealthy farmhouses raised dogs in the front yard and dolphins in the back yard. From the bursts of barking dogs, one could also hear the wealth and power of the big man.
The entire Luo County slowly woke up, and then Yang County woke up. Luoyang was split into two because of its large scale. Even so, the scale of the two county towns was still unmatched by any other city. Luo County was originally
The city walls will become inner cities, and several consecutive county towns will be annexed by Luoxian County and renamed as townships. Therefore, when the capital city wakes up, it will be like daylight under the illumination of those candles and torches.
Liu Qu had already made preparations. He had been bathing and meditating for seven days for this ceremony. After nine o'clock, he woke up. After changing his clothes and bathing again, he got into the Emperor's chariot and drove on the road.
, front and rear ceremonial guards, the emperor's chariot, a jade chariot made of wood, azure color, a golden dome, inlaid with four jade discs, with engraved gold hanging clouds hanging from the discs, and a curtain made of three layers of blue satin, embroidered with gold clouds, dragons and feathers.
.
There are also four gold and green satin ties tied to the chariot. There are golden clouds and dragons painted on the four pillars. There are three beaded curtains on the door, three on each side. The clouds and dragons' throne is surrounded by red railings, decorated with alternate gold colors. There are tapestries around the railings.
Each of the two wheels has eighteen spokes and is decorated with gold carvings. There are two shafts in front and gold dragons on both ends. It can be described as extremely luxurious.
There were knights in front of them clearing the way. Most of the knights were knights in armor, most of them were princes in the palace. Behind them there were a group of men holding axes and axes. There were also drums playing and flags lined the way. Following the drums, these nearly 3,000 people walked out of the palace with a guard of honor.
The shock brought by the people of the county was absolutely huge. This was the first time for the fourth generation of emperors to go to worship with such a large-scale ceremony. The people knelt down and worshiped on both sides. As the guards on the carriage scattered coins, they shouted long live.
Liu Qu sat majestically on the carriage frame, looking down at the people of the Han Dynasty and the world of the Han Dynasty.
When Tianzi Chariot arrived at the Zhonglie Hall, all the officials were already waiting here. Headed by San Ling, standing at the top, Liu Qu looked slowly and saw that all the officials had arrived, including Zhong Changtong.
Here, I heard earlier that Zhong Changtong was unwilling to come. Many officials went to pay homage to him, but they were beaten out by him. Recently, Yuan Xi went to invite him. I don’t know what that guy said. It was actually the general.
Zhong Changtong has been invited. It seems that my Shangshu Order is not useless.
Liu Qu was thinking in his heart, but he never stopped walking and stepped onto the high platform step by step.
The officials of the Lifu and the officials of the Culture were separated on opposite sides. Because of this grand ceremony, Yuan Yao and Zheng Yi both turned against each other. The two were already at odds with each other. In addition, they argued over the right to hold the grand ceremony. In the end, it was Yuan Yao who
Xi came forward to persuade Yuan Yao, and Yuan Yao just gave in, with Zheng Yi as the leader and Yuan Yao as the assistant. However, the conflict between the officials of the two mansions still could not be resolved. At this moment, they were standing on both sides, competing to sing loudly.
word.
Zhong Changtong looked at them with some disdain, and his expression was very bad. He squinted his eyes and looked at Yuan Xi at the top. If this guy hadn't been following him for four days and nights, he would have been
Those who are absolutely unwilling to come, people are dead, why do they have to worship? If we have these financial resources and use them to continue the strategies of our ancestors, wouldn't this make these sages happy? If they can still be happy.
In addition to the officials, many ministers who had retired and returned to their hometowns also came. The military generals once again put on their armor, which made them particularly moved. Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao and other veteran generals stood on the south side of the hall, majestic and majestic.
There was no sign of weakness at all, and opposite them, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Ma Jun and others were not far behind and were full of momentum. Liu Qu passed by them step by step. When he came here, he followed the etiquette
Lang's lyrics still bowed respectfully to the veterans on both sides.
Everyone returned the gift.
The emperor reached the highest stage, and the presiding officer was Zheng Yi. In front of him were the animals used for sacrifice. Zheng Yi looked a little tired, but he still straightened his back, holding a document, and was reading out the emperor's feelings for the martyrs today.
Today's emperor's love for the virtuous and the prosperity of the great Han Dynasty are to inform our ancestors.
Liu Qu then knelt down and sat under the steps of Zhonglie Hall, looking up at the high platform.
Zheng Yi was still talking about the auspicious signs of the Han Dynasty, such as the appearance of a three-legged cow in Hebei, the appearance of an ape that can speak human language in Jingzhou, and what achievements these auspicious signs represented. He
It is said that the reason why three-legged cows appeared is because the Han people now have too much cultivated land, which is too fertile, and their agricultural tools are developed. The reason why apes can speak human eyes is because the Han people are so well educated that even apes can speak elegant language.
...
Every time he said something, Zhong Changtong couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head helplessly.
Forget it, I won’t leave, it’s not bad to hear these jokes here.
Zheng Yi spent an hour reporting the auspiciousness of the Han Dynasty to his ancestors, and then began to sing again. However, this time, he was singing about the merits of the sages he wanted to sacrifice. He wanted to sing about the sages in the Zhonglie Hall, hoping that they would come back.
Enjoy the sacrifices of your descendants.
"I, the old minister of the Han Dynasty, ordered Zhuge, the Marquis of China, to keep silent! He should care for the people, show rituals, appoint officials, obey the authority, be sincere, and spread justice! Those who are loyal and beneficial will be rewarded even if they are enemies; those who break the law and neglect will be punished, even if they are relatives, and they must accept their sins.
Those who lose love will be released no matter how serious they are; those who use rhetoric and clever rhetoric will be killed no matter how light they are; good deeds will not be rewarded if they are insignificant, and evil will not be devalued if they are not trivial! The simple things should be refined, the physics should be based on their roots, the names and responsibilities should be followed, and hypocrisy should be despised! Finally, the man

"I am Emperor Renzong Xiaokang of the Han Dynasty!!!!"
"Come back!!! Come back!!!"
After Zheng Yi roared, the entire ceremony was already filled with wails. The descendants of the Cao family were crying at Cao Cao. Yuan Yao had already cried after hearing the names of his father and master. Ma Jun thought of hearing
Lord Xing was also crying loudly. Even Zhong Changtong listened blankly to the merits of Lord Xing, his eyes were red, and Liu Qu was even more so. His father and grandfather were three generations old, and his master's grandfather made him feel sad...
.
The people around were also crying bitterly, but there was no joyful atmosphere in the entire ceremony.
The ceremony ended soon. Everyone wiped their tears and left. Yuan Xi did the same. He stayed here for a long time, but he couldn't help but think of his father, brother, and Ye Ye, and wiped away his tears.
, Yuan Xi just stood up, and before he knew it, Liu Yi was already standing beside him.
"Why didn't you cry?" Yuan Xi asked with some confusion, Liu Yi just shook his head, "I am a male sheep, and I rarely cry." Yuan Xi disagreed, but still followed his friend and left here.
, when the two arrived at Xuxian Courtyard, Liu Chan came to greet him. He had just passed by, but he was mixed in among the people. His eyes were red. Yuan Xi and Liu Yi did not laugh at him, so they pretended not to have seen him.
The three of them drank a lot of wine. Liu Yi talked about his troubles. His two children had grown up. However, neither of them could be admitted to the Imperial College. This made Liu Yi very embarrassed, and Liu Chan's son
But he was admitted to Imperial College, and Liu Chan couldn't help but show off in front of him. Liu Yi gritted his teeth, snorted, and ignored him. The three of them drank until the evening, and the sky became darker and darker, but...
These people are not in a good mood and don't want to leave here.
Fortunately, Liu Chan was still awake. Seeing that it was already getting late, he wanted to send the two drunkards back, but they refused and only wanted to walk. Liu Chan had no choice.
After walking out of here, Liu Yi and Yuan Xi did not care about the three orders, but staggered on the street. There was a ceremony today, so there were not many people on the street, and there were too many people. Captain Sili felt that
Luo County may not be safe because of this, so it set a three-day curfew. However, to the three orders, this ban is like nothing!
"I miss my father...I miss my mother..." Finally, Liu Yi started to cry even though he was drunk. Yuan Xi supported him with difficulty and walked towards his mansion. Liu Yi's family was very strict.
, with this appearance, it’s better not to send him back, just keep him overnight.
The two of them were passing by a street, and a pedestrian appeared in the distance. The pedestrian seemed a little drunk, and his steps were swaying. The two people passed by each other without saying a word.
Suddenly, Liu Yi suddenly woke up and pushed Yuan Xi who was supporting him back. Yuan Xi immediately flew out. At this moment, the long sword in the hand of the night traveler pierced Liu Yi's body directly.
Yi was furious and grabbed the sword with his bare hands, making the thief unable to move. The thief looked very brave and took the initiative to let go of the sword in his hand and pounced on Yuan Xi again. Liu Yi roared, ran over and grabbed him.
The man's back clothes slammed him to the ground.
Suddenly, the two started fighting. Liu Yi was so powerful that he pinned the man down and punched the man in the face continuously. In the end, the man stopped moving.
Liu Yi's face was pale, and blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth. Yuan Xi had long been frightened out of his wits by this scene. He rushed over and helped Liu Yi, "Erlang, are you okay? Are you okay? Erlang? You can't do it."
You want to scare me!!"
Liu Yi fell into his arms, and Yuan Xi could hardly hold him. Liu Yi just looked into Yuan Xi's eyes. Yuan Xi did not dare to pull out the long sword that had been inserted into his back, and rashly pulled it out.
The sword will kill him. Yuan Xi almost cried, "Who is it?! Who dares to kill your father! There is someone! Come here!!!" Liu Yi bit his tongue.
Ya, looked at the assassin below, he seemed to realize something.
"Sanlang..."
"I'm here! Just wait a moment! I'm going to find someone to call the doctor!"
"It's too late... Saburo... listen to me... you... don't want revenge... don't want revenge..."
"What?" Yuan Xi looked at Liu Yi blankly. Liu Yi kept urging him, and his eyes gradually lost their light.
In Luoyang, three temple officials were assassinated, and the emperor's uncle was killed... Liu Qu's anger suddenly swept the entire temple! Starting from the Sili Xiaowei, all the ministers were imprisoned one after another for dereliction of duty, involvement in the incident, etc.
People can survive.
Zhuge's Mansion, Study Room
Zhuge Ke was sitting in the study, reading a book, sweat dripping from his forehead. He took a glass of wine in his hand, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't drink it. Suddenly, the door of the study was pushed open.
The person who came was Yuan Yao. Yuan Yao had a solemn look on his face and held a long sword. He walked up to Zhuge Ke and sat down.
"Brother...brother..."
"Did you know that...before Liu Linggong passed away, he actually told Mr. Yuan not to let him take revenge."
"I...know...know."
"The world has heard that some traitors thought that the one who sent people to assassinate Duke Lin was the emperor, which made the emperor furious. But I know that the assassin was not going to kill Liu Linggong, but to attack Yuan Linggong, right?"
Zhuge Ke was speechless and his face became even paler. Yuan Yao grinned and stood up slowly, "Liu Linggong must have guessed the person behind the scenes, but he values the person behind the scenes very much and thinks that this person will be able to succeed in the future."
To do more things for the big man, I believe he is just doing this because of his youth, and even goes against the Gongyang way, which does not allow revenge..."
"Then brother... why are you here?" Zhuge Ke raised his head and asked blankly.
"Because of the ram."
.....................
There were countless shocks in the temple. After the identity of the assassin was revealed, it was even more unbelievable. Even the emperor could not face the result and almost fainted.
No matter what, the great man will continue to move forward. History will never stop for anyone.
In the eighth year of Tianji, the emperor ordered his younger brother to cure his illness, which shocked the world.
In the ninth year, Zhong Changtong retired to his hometown. He fell ill on the way and died at home.
Ten years, eleven years, twelve years, thirteen years...the wheels are running continuously!!! The speed is getting faster and faster!!!
............
June, the nineteenth year of Tianji
Linting, Nanzhong Township, Jiyang County, Chenliu County
"Dong dong dong!" A knock on the door came, and the servant of Lintinghou's family shouted helplessly and came to the door. On weekdays, few outsiders came to their place. When the servant opened the door,
There was only a white-haired old man outside the door. The old man's eyes were cloudy, his body was hunched over, but he had a long sword at his waist.
The servant looked at the man and saw that he was an old man. He bowed to him and then asked, "What are your orders?"
"May I ask... is this the residence of Linting Marquis Liu Yan?"
"Exactly."
"Hey... when Liu Chengwen was still in the countryside, why did his descendants become Tinghou?"
"this..."
"Forget it... Is your Tinghou here? Is your mistress here? Tell them all your life that Yuan Xi from Runan is here to visit and wants to accept Liu Yan as his disciple..."
"My mother is here... but Young Junhou is not here... Young Junhou went to the river to fish..."
And at this moment, with the stream beside the pavilion.
"Young Master! Let's go back! How can we catch big fish with this mutton?" the servants cried helplessly.
But Ting Hou Liu Yan was an arrogant little fat man. The little fat man snorted in displeasure and was about to scold him. When he moved his hands, he was extremely happy and said with a big smile: "Who said you can't catch fish! Look!
