Chapter eight hundred and eighty ninth: seal king, auspicious
(In the last chapter, Xiaoxiao tried to get out of the car and failed...)
The sun is shining high, the sky is clear, and the blue sky indicates that today is a rare good weather.
Liu Bei led the civil and military officials at the front, followed by people from all walks of life who came to watch the ceremony. Cao Cao's subordinate was still Chen Qun, Liu Biao's representative was Kuai Liang, Yuan Shu's representative was Yuan Huan, as for Sun Jian and Li Jue
Among them, one is not qualified to send envoys to watch the ceremony, and the other is still conquering the forces in the south of the Yangtze River and has no time to care about these things.
Among them, the representative sent by Liu Zhang is the most special. This person's name is Zhangyu, whose name is Nanhe. He has nothing to do with Jie Baina. He is a famous prophetic scholar in Yizhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. When he was young, he was very famous with Zhou Qun in Langzhong. Zhangyu was proficient in other things.
Changes in the celestial phenomena are associated with human affairs, predicting good and bad luck, and his talent and knowledge surpass Zhou Qun's. Later, he was promoted to Sima in the back part of Yizhou.
Zhang Yu, Zhou Qun, Zhou Shu (father of Zhou Qun), Dong Fu, and Ren An were all famous fortune tellers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In other words, they were fortune tellers. The reason why Liu Yan went to Yizhou back then was because of Dong Fu
He said: "The capital is about to be in chaos, and the Yizhou division has the spirit of the emperor."
By the way, all these fortune tellers are from Sichuan. The reason why Liu Zhang sent Chang Yu to watch the ceremony this time was to ask Chang Yu to look at Liu Bei's fortune and tell his fortune.
Historically, after Liu Bei captured Yizhou, he wanted to rob Hanzhong from Cao Cao. At that time, Chang Yu said: "If you don't fight for Hanzhong, the army will be disadvantaged." Liu Bei didn't believe it. After sending troops to Hanzhong, Wu Lan, Lei Tong and others were completely wiped out. Although in the end,
The land in Hanzhong was obtained, but all the people in Hanzhong were moved to Guanzhong by Cao Cao, which was quite a loss.
Later, Chang Yu told Liu Bei's fortune in private and said: "When I am Gengzi, the world will change dynasties, and the Liu family will be wiped out. The Lord has Yizhou, and in nine years, he will lose it in Yinmao."
What this means is that Liu Bei was going to die nine years later. When Liu Bei heard about it, he directly ordered people and downtown to kill him. Zhuge Liang didn't even give him face when he begged for mercy. But what's interesting is that Liu Bei did die nine years later...
And what Dong Fu said at the time that Yizhou has the spirit of the emperor has indeed come true, which is quite interesting to say.
A group of people came to the altar built outside the city. The altar is 9.9 meters high as a whole. It is divided into three floors. Each floor is carved with three red dragons. It is surrounded by nine dragons above and below. All the nine dragons are pointing towards the sky, with the dragon heads pointed at the altar.
at the center.
In the center of the giant platform on the top floor of the altar, a huge bronze tripod sits on it. Officially refined by Wang Xuan, the four-legged bronze tripod is two meters high and more than one meter wide, which suddenly changes the altar that was not originally very majestic.
The protruding peaks of Deqi give people a strong visual impact.
Especially after the bronze cauldron on the altar was refined by Wang Xuan, its simple and heavy feeling, highlighted by the formation, was so eye-catching, giving people the illusion of competing with the sky out of thin air. The closer it got,
This feeling became more and more intense, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the bronze tripod, unable to move away.
Especially today, when the sky is blue and cloudless, the focus of sight will involuntarily be fixed on the huge bronze tripod, giving people a feeling of being infinitely tall.
"How magnificent!" Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh when he saw this huge bronze tripod for the first time.
"My lord, I'm lucky to have lived up to my command!" Today's occasion was quite formal, and there were outsiders present, so Wang Xuan gave Liu Bei a rare face.
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing, "Why should Zai Zhi be so polite?"
Every step of this heaven-sacrifice ceremony has strict time regulations. It is very cumbersome and it is not suitable to talk too much. Wang Xuan nodded and came directly behind Liu Bei to occupy the front position of everyone, leaving Liu Bei and Guan Yu alone.
In terms of Fei's brotherhood, Wang Xuan is definitely one person below ten thousand in the entire Liu Bei group.
To worship the ancestors, three animals were slaughtered as sacrifices. Cai Yong personally presided over the worship of the world and the common people. He climbed the steps step by step to the altar and read out the sacrificial text.
People all over the world think that Liu Bei's throne is just reasonable and legitimate.
Speaking of which, Liu Bei had just fought a battle with Cao Cao a while ago, causing his wife Cao Cao to suffer heavy losses. It was useless for Wang Xuan to send an invitation and just come to attend Liu Bei's king ceremony.
In fact, it is not surprising. After the death of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the world was left without a master. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Han Dynasty died. At this time, it was actually possible to become king. However, the problem was that no one was willing to stand up and do it first.
If you stand out, you will become passive in terms of public opinion.
At this time, Liu Bei is willing to jump out and everyone is happy to support him. Firstly, Liu Bei's surname is Liu, and secondly, he is definitely strong enough. No matter from which aspect, he is the most suitable person to be the person who opens up a new situation in the world. Therefore, at this time, the princes of the world are absolutely
It won't cause any trouble to Liu Bei.
Just after Liu Bei finished reading the sacrificial text, Wang Xuan, who was standing under the altar, quietly performed a hand gesture. The huge copper tripod in the center of the altar suddenly made a loud "dong" sound. Although the sound was loud, it did not feel deafening, but had a kind of sound.
The clear and distant feeling makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if the whole person has been baptized from the inside out, and the body and mind are relaxed.
After nine rings in a row, when the sound stopped completely, the people present at the heaven-sacrifice ceremony slowly recovered from this feeling of unity between heaven and man. After reacting, they were filled with uncontrollable surprise.
None of the civil servants present had mental strength far beyond that of ordinary people, and the military commander had intelligent five senses. Everyone was sure that the melodious sound came from above the altar, most likely from the huge copper tripod, but the problem was...
When will the bronze tripod also make such a sound?
These people present are definitely the most knowledgeable people in the world, but they have never heard of such a thing. For a moment, they looked at Liu Bei standing high on the altar with some surprise and uncertainty, and all kinds of unspeakable thoughts were tumbling in their hearts.
idea.
Not to mention the following people watching the ceremony, even Liu Bei who was reciting the sacrificial inscriptions on the altar was shocked by the nine consecutive sounds. He had the urge to turn around and go back to see what the special cauldron had. If he didn't know
This is my king's ceremony, I'm afraid of losing etiquette, I'm afraid that I really can't restrain my curiosity.
Just when everyone thought this was already very mysterious, something even more incredible happened.
This...this...this!
Everyone looked at the altar in surprise. In the wide open mouth, the small tongue was clearly visible.
I saw a gleam of light suddenly emerging from the huge copper tripod. It was still a soft milky white light at first, but gradually began to show different changes. It was surrounded by seven colors, changing back and forth, making it dazzling and colorful, and the precious light reached the sky.
How is this going?
Is Liu Bei really the son of destiny, or is there something special about this cauldron that no one knows about?
By the way, is there any legendary cauldron that can have this kind of effect?
As soon as this idea came up, everyone's eyes suddenly changed when they looked at the big cauldron. (To be continued)
