The ancestor worship ceremony started as scheduled.

As early as the previous two days, the Taimiao was already busy. Before worshiping the ancestors, the Taimiao usually had to be thoroughly cleaned, and the sacrificial objects were arranged several days in advance.

After the news of ancestor worship spread in Luoyang City, the common people were also affected, and at the same time, a strange atmosphere shrouded everyone's hearts.

Something big is coming.

However, during this period of time, there were frequent major events, but every time the atmosphere reached its climax, King Bohai always feinted his shot.The people in Luoyang were numb, after all, the atmosphere had been heightened to this point, but the person concerned shook his hand and quit.

But when this day really came, the people still flocked to the Taimiao.

All the officials looked solemn, especially those "experienced" veterans who were very familiar with the requirements of the ancestor worship process, and their expressions were well managed.

Even when Liu Qing, who was in a good mood after bathing and changing, walked by them, he was infected by it, and his expression became more serious.

When the auspicious time arrived, Liu Qing had already stood in front of the Ancestral Temple. Apart from the familiar Liu Yan and Liu Bei beside him, there were many people he didn't know. There were as many as dozens of people. Some are cheap, these people either serve in the court, or are still white, because they can still be remembered in Luoyang, a good place.

If you look at the world, there are more than a million people who can be called a clan.

The process of worshiping the ancestors was extremely solemn. With the presence of two professionals, Liu Yan and Liu Yu, everything went smoothly. After Liu Qing and Liu Xie offered incense and saluted, the process came to an end, but Liu Yan did not announce the end of the ancestor worship.

Liu Qing glanced at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan and Liu Yu looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Liu Yan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, today in front of the past emperors, I have something important to announce."

As soon as Liu Yan's words fell, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Liu Yao followed closely behind Liu Yan, and then a dozen of Liu's clan members who were officials in the court also followed behind. Under the leadership of the four, Qi Qi knelt before Liu Xie, Liu Qing, and the spiritual thrones of previous emperors.

Liu Qing looked at it calmly, without saying a word, what Liu Yan and the others were going to do, he already knew in his mind.

Sure enough, they would not miss any chance.

Seeing Liu Xie's response, Liu Qing said casually: "Whatever, just tell me."

Liu Yan clasped his hands together in front of him, and behaved very respectfully.

"The previous emperors of all dynasties are above, Han Lugong's successor Yizhou shepherd Yan Qizhao, since the beginning of Zhongping, internal and external troubles have continued. The image of emperors standing side by side, in the prefectures and counties, powerful and powerful rise together, called Anhan, who are actually self-interested, there are too many to enumerate, and it is worth this national calamity..."

Liu Yan paused, looked at Liu Xie, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"The current Emperor Xie is young and ignorant, and it is difficult to bear the heavy responsibility of the country. In order to protect our great Han Guozuo, I will tell the previous emperors together with Zongzheng and the elders of the clan to support the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaozhang, the son of Emperor Xiaohuan, Liu Qing, the king of Bohai, as the emperor. This is the long-cherished wish of the ministers and other clansmen, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the people of the world, and I will risk my life to sue for disobedience to my descendants and ministers!"

As Liu Yan spoke, he immediately knelt down on the ground.

As far as he said, he was indeed risking his life. Isn’t this kind of remarks the same as rebellion, but those who stood in front of the spirit cards of the previous emperors were all surnamed Liu, and they were all Liu Bang’s blood. capital offense.

After Liu Yan knelt down, Liu Yu knelt down immediately: "You are unworthy descendants Chen Yu, risk your life to sue!"

The rest, including Liu Bei, Liu Biao and Liu Yao, followed suit and knelt down to sue.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xie couldn't help but staggered a few steps backwards, and was supported by Liu Qing with one hand, just now he didn't hit the sacrificial table, Liu Xie looked up and cast a look of help to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing shook his head helplessly. The development of the matter to this extent was slightly beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that Liu Yan and Liu Biao would persuade him to act, but he didn't expect them to directly appeal to the ancestors, the emperors of all dynasties, asking Liu Xie to abdicate to let the virtuous, which is a proper way to force the palace.

Bravery is true bravery, but Liu Qing already had countermeasures, and replied lightly: "Jun Lang, Jing Sheng, Xuan De, everyone, get up first."

"The previous emperors are above, if the king does not agree, I will not be able to kneel down for a long time." Liu Yan said.

Looking at the appearance of the crowd, it was obvious that their attitude was very firm, so that Liu Xie was frightened a lot, and looked at Liu Qing cautiously from time to time.

Once the patriarch's attitude has been given, his own attitude must also be shown.

Of course, it is not accepted.

"Then you kneel down."

After all, Liu Qing took Liu Xie's arm in one hand and walked outside. From the beginning to the end, he didn't look back at all, but Liu Xie almost looked back and went out with his head on his back.

The action must be fast and the posture must be handsome. Of course, Liu Qing dragged the little emperor to appear in front of the officials.

What is the name of the ancestor worship this time?
In the past few days, there has been a lot of rumors in Luoyang City, saying that at the ancestor worship ceremony, something big is about to happen. Although the words "big thing about to happen" are as unreliable as a wolf coming, all the officials would rather believe it.

Among them, the most widely circulated one is that the clansmen wanted to join forces to persuade the King of Bohai to take over the country and the country. Compared with the persuasion of all the officials, the support of the clansmen of the real power faction was more convincing.

Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Liu Yu, and Liu Yao are the shepherds of Wuzhou.

Although he couldn't understand it, but Liu Qing led Liu Xie to appear, and the two showed such intimacy that the theory of advancement would be self-defeating.

Back in the mansion, Liu Qing summoned Guo Jia and Xun You.

"How's the public opinion outside?"

Xun You smiled and replied: "My lord, I don't know who leaked the news about the worship of the ancestors. The matter of the clan's persuasion has already caused a lot of trouble in the city. It is true and false, and no one can argue."

Guo Jia laughed loudly, "Gongda, tell me honestly, is it you who leaked this matter so quickly to Luoyang City?"

Xun You glanced back at Guo Jia, smiled without saying a word, and turned to Liu Qing and said, "My lord, Jugong will arrive in Luoyang tomorrow. Besides, Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng will be coming soon."

"It seems that I can't leave again in the past two days, but I have to count what I said, and order the three armies to set off in three days and return to Jizhou."

"Here."

As the night fell gradually, the city of Luoyang began to be illuminated with lights.

The five clans got together again, but Liu Qing rejected them. Naturally, they couldn't really kneel in the Taimiao, and they were just pretending. Not long after the ceremony, they left in despair.

"Everyone, why does Junzheng not accept this matter? Could it be that the ancestor worship he said is really just for ancestor worship?" Liu Yan, the eldest brother, spoke first.

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "It's hard to predict the heart of Junzheng." Then he changed the subject and said, "However, Junzheng's ambition is in the world. This point can't be wrong. Perhaps, I was a little more urgent."

Liu Yao interrupted: "Are you waiting for His Majesty to make a mistake?"

"Your Majesty is personally in charge of the government. If Xun Wen is the prime minister, your majesty may make mistakes if you want to." Liu Yu said.

Several people speculated a few words, but still could not come to a conclusion, so they all looked at Liu Bei who was silent.

Among the few people, Liu Bei can be said to have known Liu Qing the longest and should be the most familiar.

"Xuande, what do you think?"

Liu Bei's face was indifferent, and he couldn't see any expression. Judging from his deep eyes, he seemed to be thinking deeply.

"Sigh." Liu Biao sighed, "Xuande has no idea either."

At this time, Liu Bei said slowly, "Perhaps, what we did is exactly what Junzheng needs."

"What do you mean?" Liu Biao asked.

"In the past, when the ministers persuaded Gao Zu to ascend the throne, Gao Zu could not give in three times. He had no choice but to say that he would follow it for the sake of the country. When Emperor Wen Liu Heng ascended the throne, he gave in five times."

Hearing Liu Bei's words, several people looked at each other in dismay, enlightened.
