Great Wei Nengchen

Just at this time, as soon as the Qibaoxiang car stopped, the altar for offering sacrifices to heaven outside the city arrived. Xiao Yi stood up and looked at the princess on the bed very sympathetically, "You are a qualified princess and a good sister, Unfortunately, you are not a good woman and wife!"

After all, turn around and get off the car without any further hesitation.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Prime Minister Cao Cao had already led all civil and military officials to wait under the "Altar of Sacrifice to Heaven". When they saw the emperor's car coming, they all knelt down and saluted, and the voice of shouting for long live came up again.

"All loves, please don't be polite!" The little emperor walked out of the golden root car in high spirits, first looked up at the red sun in the sky, then glanced at the dark kneeling crowd, and then got out of the car with the support of a few servants. Step up to the altar!

The altar is made of rammed loess, with a radius of 24 feet. It is divided into three floors. Each floor is nine feet high. There are bluestone steps in the middle, and 28 star flags are inserted on the periphery, which are arranged according to the trend of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu. , extremely mighty!

There are 24 gold-armored warriors standing on the altar, holding banners, flags, treasure covers, euphorbias, spears, yellow axes, baiyans, red flags, soap banners, known as "Nine Treasures", surrounded by four, in the middle, There is also a three-legged bronze giant tripod, which is carved with patterns of the nine states of the world, as well as various creatures such as flowers, birds, fish and insects. Inside the giant tripod, dry firewood and grease have been laid, and it is waiting for the little emperor to light it up to sacrifice to heaven!

The emperor was making the final ceremonial preparations before offering sacrifices to the heavens, while civil and military officials stood under the altar, forming two distinct groups. On the one side were the old and old ministers headed by Taiwei Yang Biao and Sikong Wangxi. These people wore brand-new dresses, all smiling, with tall chests.

They are happy, with the spring breeze of the emperor's sacrifice to heaven and the crown ceremony, a political storm can be set off in the court, regaining part of the power, and then eating away at it step by step, and finally regain the lost paradise. Just around the corner!

On the other side, headed by Cao Cao, the officials of the prime minister's office, most of these people were expressionless, just standing there quietly, occasionally a few generals showed anger, but they all tried their best to suppress it, the situation changed , who wins and who loses, is it not certain?

Xiao Yi was responsible for guarding. After arranging the transfer of soldiers and horses, he was the last one to come under the altar. Everyone else was wearing the attire for offering sacrifices to the heavens, but he was the only one who looked very special in military attire and holding a sword.

After making eye contact with Cao Cao who was standing at the head of the team, he clenched his fists again and made a gesture that everything was in his hands. Then Xiao Yi stood aside with a sneer on his face, waiting to see the opening of this classic drama , "The authentic ancient ceremony of worshiping the heavens, you don't need to buy a ticket, and the location is good, don't miss it if you don't see it!"

"The auspicious time has come, please come to the altar to sacrifice to the heaven, the Son of Heaven!"

Chinese doctor-Kong Rong, wearing a high crown dress, holding a jade kui, completely dressed in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, served as the ceremonial officer of this ceremony. He is the twentieth grandson of Confucius, and he is a Confucian scholar. Noble, according to the agreement, he will preside over the crowning ceremony for the little emperor in a while, to show the tradition of the emperor of the Han family respecting Confucianism.

"We wear Chinese clothes, according to the regulations of our ancestors, to worship Haotian, pray for the prosperity of the country, the well-being of all people, the harmony of society, and the great harmony of the world. I hope that the humanistic glory of China for thousands of years will spread to all nations..."

Under the altar, drums and music were immediately celebrated, and prayers dedicated to offering sacrifices to heaven were played. There were also a large group of court ladies, swaying in posture, and performed a sacrificial dance. Emperor Hao's incomparable reverence!

"Sacrificing the gift of heaven!"

As the ceremonial officer shouted again, a group of attendants immediately brought the three animal tributes, five grains, grains, jade, bronze, and cloth~~ and a lot of sacrifices were placed in front of the giant tripod, so that the heavens could enjoy the blessings of the people on earth. worship.

"Your Majesty, please light the fire, offer sacrifices to the heavens, and perform the 'First Offering' gift!" Kong Rong's voice trembled a little, and he didn't know whether it was because he revered the heavens too much, or because he was excited about his important role in the ceremony.

The little emperor Liu Xie was also flushed with excitement. He grabbed the torch that was handed over by his attendant three times before he got it in his hand. Then he tremblingly walked to the giant cauldron and threw the torch in. , The dry firewood covered with grease suddenly ignited, the flames soared into the sky, and the flames were blazing~~

"God bless, the grain will be plentiful, and the people will be happy!"

The little emperor faced the east, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, and recited the sacrificial words used by the emperors of all dynasties. After the salute, Liu Xie did not get up immediately, but turned his palms to the sky, and prayed silently again in his heart, "God bless, let I wiped out power and traitors, punished all courtiers, rejuvenated the great man, and recreated the peace of the world~~~"

450.Chapter 450: Huo De Extinguishes, Tu De Xing!

According to ancient rituals, the ceremonies of offering sacrifices to heaven are divided into "first offering, second offering, and final offering", which are performed by those who are distinguished and honored respectively. "First offering" is naturally the emperor of the Han family, and no one can replace it.' Generally speaking, one must be a member of the royal family to be able to hold the sub-offer, but Liu Xie is too young, and has no queen, prince, brother, nephew, so the emperor's sister ~ Princess Haiyan will hold the sub-offer!

"Princess Chitose is invited to ascend the altar, and Xingya sacrifices to heaven!"

Following the words of the chief of ceremonies, the big Han princess was dressed in a fine attire and her long skirt dragged the floor. With the help of her maid Lingling, she slowly climbed to the top of the altar, came to the burning giant cauldron, and knelt down on her knees. salute.

"Your Highness, respect the heavenly jade wall!" According to ancient etiquette, 'Ya Xian' is also a gift to the heavens, and the maid Lingling took out a long-prepared dragon and phoenix jade wall from her bosom and handed it over.

Jade is the essence of the mountains, it has the spirit of heaven and earth, and can communicate with ghosts and gods. It is the most suitable for offering sacrifices to "Shangtian Haodi".

"No need!" Princess Haiyan shook her head lightly, her eyes slowly turned from confusion to firmness, and suddenly she turned her wrist, and pulled out a golden-handled scimitar from under her dress, and then stroked her strands of black hair , cut off with a knife, and threw it into the burning cauldron.

Body, hair and skin, received by parents, in order to pay homage to heaven, is the most sincere, let alone this is a princess's black hair?

When the hair is cut off, so are the troubles!

Putting away the golden knife, Princess Haiyan turned her palms to the sky, closed her eyes slightly, and began to pray silently in her heart, "God bless, the Han Dynasty will continue to conquer the country, and bless the emperor's brother to grow up safely, without any disasters and difficulties, and to be blessed." Enjoy the longevity of heaven, if so, then all kinds of sins will be imposed on me~~~"

"Your Highness is sincere, and the heavens will bless you." The maid Lingling also knelt down and said silently, her face flushed, and it must be a shameful happy event to come to pray!

"Hehe, I hope so!"

After presenting the gift, Princess Haiyan slowly retreated from the altar with the support of Lingling, but her expression was a little sad. She glanced at the mighty figure in armor not far away, and finally just let out a wry smile.

The next step is "Final Consecration", because there is no one in the royal family. A "cheap emperor uncle" like Liu Bei is not qualified and does not have the courage to go to this altar, so he had to recommend it among the officials of the court. High and low, the head of a hundred officials is~~Prime Minister Cao Cao!

Cao Cao also wore a black and gold voluminous dress today, a high crown on his head, and a two-foot jade kui in his hand.

"Xiao Lang, go up to the altar to worship heaven with this old man!" Hearing the voice of the ceremonial officer, Cao Cao did not rush to take a step, but beckoned to Xiao Yi who was not far away.

"Wow!..."

There was a burst of murmur among the officials, some were envious, some were jealous, and some even showed disbelief, and those who could go up to the altar to worship the heavens together, those who were not confidantes could not get this honor, Cao Cao didn't even bring his own son, but he wanted to call Xiao Yi, this is clearly proclaiming to everyone, "Xiao Yi is the old man's number one confidant and favorite general, and he is unparalleled in honor and favor!"

"promise!"

Shaking the armor on his body and holding the sword in his hand, Xiao Yi stepped to a position one step beside Cao Cao, and escorted him all the way up to the altar in the eyes of everyone.

Same as the previous procedure, face east, kneel down three times and kowtow nine times, salute to Emperor Tian Hao, and then prepare to offer sacrifices, Xiao Yi has long noticed Cao Cao's slightly bulging chest, and has been guessing what treasure is hidden inside, Not only him, but the golden-armored warriors standing around the altar, and all the civil and military officials below the altar also stretched their necks and widened their eyes, wanting to see what precious gifts this traitor has prepared~~

"Five-colored jade walls? Millennium pearls? Ancient bronzes? Or something like a rarity..."

There were also some malicious speculations, thinking that Cao Cao might cut off his hair, cut off his flesh, cut off his fingers, and sacrificed his flesh and blood to heaven. Of course, he might be afraid of pain and reluctant to cut his own flesh. The guy is strong and strong, with rough skin and thick flesh, just right~~~

In the eyes of all the people, Cao Cao calmly took out a yellow cloth bag from his arms, opened it gently, revealing a large lump of loess inside!

"Ancient resting soil?"

"The land of Mount Tai?"

"The sand of the East China Sea?"

"This... what kind of baby is it?"

..........................................

As soon as the thing was exposed, all civil and military officials in the audience guessed. No one believed that it was a mass of loess. It's not a handful of ordinary loess, it's just that everyone hasn't figured out what kind of treasure it is.

"Good boy!... That's right, it's loess!" Xiao Yi, who was closest to him, checked it three times with the sharp eyes of a 'condor shooter', and finally confirmed that it was a lump of extremely ordinary loess!

And it also exudes a moist smell, it is very likely that Cao Cao dug it from his garden this morning, because there are still a few residual leaves in it~~~

"Sacrificing a ball of loess to the sky, this kind of thing is something that Cao Cao is capable of. It really is not a mortal, it is amazing!"

Cao Cao didn't mean any embarrassment at all. In his opinion, "Under the sky, there is only thick soil, which grows all things and nourishes life. It is far more valuable than gold and jewelry. With land, there is a country and people. , have everything!"

"Heaven blesses you, and the rich soil is a gift. Now Kyushu is falling apart, and the lives of the people are suffering. They are not talented. I am willing to do my best to rebuild the unification of China and create a peaceful and prosperous world. Please protect me~~~"

After praying, Cao Cao stood up, took the bag of loess weighing at least seven or eight catties to the surface of the giant tripod, and threw it all in at once~~~~

From Emperor Liu Xie’s “Chu Xian” to Princess Haiyan’s “Ya Xian” and finally to Cao Cao’s “Chu Xian”, the process seems simple, but in fact it requires many steps, playing music, saluting, and praying. It took a whole hour, but the grease in the giant cauldron had already been consumed, and even the dry wood was almost burned. Now Cao Cao threw in a handful of moist loess, the flames flickered and green smoke rose~~ ~ It's gone!
