The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"There are as many excuses as you want, but looking at the kings of the world, how many can make their own decisions?" Xin Ping laughed.

"Ha, that's true. You can discuss it with your lord when you go back. It's true that Liu Tao can't be allowed to be a boss. It's best to suppress him in Bingzhou, and it's best if he doesn't come out!" Xu You immediately agreed, but he didn't take it too seriously. thing.

We have just fought a battle, and everyone is short of food. We are waiting for this year's autumn harvest, so we can make a big move next year.It is not difficult to imagine that next year, it will definitely start to encroach on the surrounding area and expand its sphere of influence step by step.

Unite, it is estimated that it will be difficult to unite... This is more important than spending all your energy to attack Liu Tao and expand your sphere of influence.

It's just that it's just as difficult to attack Liu Tao when he becomes big.Forget it, report the proposal up, and what happens in the end depends on what the lord means.

Anyway, Jizhou and Youzhou, without thinking about it, must be the first targets of Liu Tao's attack, and it is easy to unite.

"Let's not talk about that, drink tea, this tea...it's pretty good..." Xu You picked up the teacup and took a sip.Deducting interests and class positions, reading a book when you have nothing to do, sipping tea under the service of a tea lady, and having a piece of refreshment from time to time, it is really pleasant.

Chapter 487 Enthronement Ceremony (for Subscription)

In the past ten days, the missions that came to Jinyang learned a lot of new things and communicated with each other.But what happened to the enthronement ceremony, everyone is blind.

It is said that it is not in the city, but outside the city. That area is under military control, and idlers are not allowed to approach.

There is a palace in Jinyang, and it has been repaired during this period. It is no problem as a palace, but it is still a bit shabby as a palace that can be used for office.Liu Tao simply used the imperial palace as his office, and the current house as his living place.

This is definitely not in line with etiquette, but with the current situation of the palace, everyone can only make do with it first.

Palaces are like this, not to mention the square needed to hold a military parade. There is no suitable place at all, and it is not easy to demolish and build randomly, so they can only choose to hold it outside the city.Otherwise, there is no need to hold the enthronement ceremony after the next year.

In fact, Xun Yu was against it at first. The temporary venue was not solemn enough, and it would also make the grand ceremony look simple.There is no need to do that specially for the so-called military parade, and waste manpower and financial resources.

"Don't always talk about etiquette!" Liu Tao finally snapped back, "This time, there are our friends who came to participate in the ceremony, but there are also more enemies who covet us. There is no way to talk about etiquette with the enemy, only to show Our military power can make our enemies feel afraid, and then correct their attitude towards us!"

In fact, he really wanted to complain, the manpower and financial resources wasted, is Xun Yu most concerned about it?

"It's just that, if they are too afraid of our words, they will probably join forces." Xun Yu said earnestly. The pre-Qin was so strong that the six countries had to join forces to crusade many times.

"We are not pre-Qin, a group of elm lumps, who don't know how to adapt to local conditions and keep pace with the times. Besides, the current situation in China is different from the period when the Seven Kingdoms stood side by side. The experience of pre-Qin can only be used as a reference, not a law." Liu Tao reminded road.

Many of the feudal kings are now supported by the people below.In this case, if you can wait, you will wait for these kings to proclaim themselves emperors, and then play abdication to make yourself more justified.If you can't wait, you will directly usurp the throne, establish a new regime, and then recover those disobedient courtiers.

To put it simply, in the next few years, the states excluding his side are expected to be in chaos.This gave him enough time to recuperate, and he could even take the opportunity to take Yizhou down.

"We don't just want to deter the feudal lords outside..." Liu Tao then patiently explained, "Generally speaking, if you claim the title of emperor just by occupying the three states, the common people will be somewhat worried, just like you would worry that they would unite. attack us."

Although most people only care about whether they can survive 'today', with the popularization of night schools and colleges, more and more people start to care about current affairs and politics.

After all, I have thought that one day I may become an official. A good and stable working environment is very important.

After a pause, he continued to explain: "We need to show our army, tell them that we have the ability to protect them, and let us live and work in a safe and stable environment. As long as our soldiers are not killed in battle, it will never be our turn." Let them fight!"

"I see, the military parade actually has such a meaning..." Xun Yu never thought about this, maybe like many scholars, he usually doesn't care too much about the feelings of the people.

Generally speaking, as long as the politics is clear and there are no major disasters, the people will be content with their duties, do whatever they want, and work hard to survive, without the need for those in power to worry.

Therefore, in the education of scholars, perhaps there is nothing about how to take care of the mood of the people or understand their needs.Take the "state herdsman" as an example, the shepherd guard side, that is, the emperor is the employer, they are the herdsmen, and the people all over the world are cattle and sheep managed by them.

I don't know if this is a reflection that officials in the feudal era really didn't treat ordinary people as adults.

After all, it is normal to buy and sell servants, force bankrupt people to sell themselves, and even wantonly kill servants and servants.The common people can be human beings, but the common people who have signed the deed of selling their lives are not human beings, so some people suddenly ceased to be human beings overnight...

Thinking about it carefully, the term 'common people' was originally a scholar-bureaucrat class, and ordinary Li Shu didn't even have a surname.As far as the pre-Qin period is concerned, ordinary people without titles are not common people, and they are called the head of Guizhou.

Liu Tao has no way to change this situation immediately, but he can subtly promote this concept.There are also side effects, that is, the people below are smarter, and then they will start to have demands, not sticking to 'living in the present', and starting to 'look forward to the future'.

But he doesn't hate the ambitious people, he just draws a bigger pie, and then gives them more hope, and let them chase this hope...

Xun Yu was persuaded by him, so he obediently arranged for the enthronement ceremony.During the period, Lu Zhi and others also came over, mainly asking about the Grand Ceremony.They are all qualified to check, but the results of the checks all feel that the scale is a bit crude.

After that, it was necessary to persuasion again before they were allowed to accept this result.

The older generation always felt that they had to comply with etiquette, otherwise it would not be orthodox.In addition, due to the lack of etiquette, it is estimated that they will be laughed at by others. It is fine if they are not here. I can't handle this problem well here, and I will lose my face.

But for Liu Tao, simple ones are better. He has seen the full set of etiquette, and if he really wants to set it up, he probably won't have enough time for most of the day.It was much more troublesome than the time when the newlyweds became the groom.

In the end, he removed some ceremonial things, and then kept the necessary ones, and cut down the time to one hour, almost compressed to the limit, and it is not surprising that it attracted criticism.

"Enthronement Ceremony, start~~~~~~~" Seeing that the day of the Ceremony came, everyone came to the venue. For some reason, a large open space was surrounded, at least one mile or so.

Fortunately, the city wall was open, and people could climb up the city wall to watch, and from there they could see the scene of the grand ceremony.

At the same time, some high platforms are also prepared to allow more people to watch from close to the scene.Even so, tens of 10 people came together, and the scene was still very spectacular.

After the master of ceremonies announced, Liu Tao, wearing a dragon robe and riding a horse, began to appear in the city gate under the guard of Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei was divided into five hundred horsemen and one thousand infantry, and walked out slowly.They were wearing flying fish robes, holding embroidered spring knives, and the cavalrymen even had bows across their waists. They looked majestic and majestic!

"Not the Habayashi Army?" Many people, especially the envoys, quickly saw the clue.

"This is Liu Tao's pro army, called Jinyiwei, which is equivalent to the Habayashi Army... Depending on the situation, the Habayashi Army may be abolished." Someone probably knew some news, so they whispered.

"However, compared with Yubayashiwei, this Jinyiwei is not much better!" Another emissary beside him said with emotion.

"This army is indeed very powerful. Look at those cavalry, they are all good archers!" The companion next to him reminded.

In the eyes of everyone, Liu Tao came to the prepared altar.At this moment, he has not put on the crown yet. Obviously, he will be "crowned as emperor" after completing the ceremony.

Originally, the enthronement ceremony was to be held at an auspicious time for the new emperor, about a month after the first emperor passed away.Strictly speaking, when the first emperor passed away, the prince automatically became the new emperor, and the enthronement ceremony just made everything more orthodox.

It's just that now the first emperor of the Han Dynasty passed away, and it seems that it's been almost a year. However, the two princes also died in a short time.

At present, nine clansmen of the Han Dynasty are called kings in the world. Liu Tao has not been called king before, and everyone thinks that he will do so soon.Who knew that this guy skipped this step and proclaimed himself emperor directly...

For a while, he didn't react, so that he couldn't deal with it. He could only silently watch him hold the grand ceremony.

But it's nothing, it doesn't matter if you are the emperor, whether you can secure the throne is another matter.You can call yourself emperor, but we also don't have to recognize your throne.As for sending envoys, that's just to come and have a look, but whether to admit it or not, we still have the final say!

At this moment, Lu Zhi, who played too often a cameo, came forward, reluctantly took out the sacrificial rite, and handed it to Liu Tao.

To chant and burn sacrificial rites is mainly to announce to the ancestors and gods that they will be crowned emperor.Pray for the recognition of the ancestors, and hope that they can bless this regime as before.

This thing is not superstitious, it can only be said to be a kind of belief, just like we would worship our ancestors, it is not a superstitious activity, but a continuation of ancestor belief.Just like we will worship the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Nuwa, Houtu and so on.

At the same time, this is also to highlight filial piety. In fact, offering sacrifices to ancestors is more for future generations to see.After the ancestors die, we still have to respect and commemorate them. What about the parents who are still alive?In my own generation, the next generation who have been affected by this since childhood will naturally have a more intuitive understanding of Xiaoyi.

I am not filial, but I ask my children to be filial to me unconditionally... Could it be that there is no reason for the unfilial piety of my children, but in myself?After all, parents themselves are the first teachers of their children!

Liu Tao is aware of this, so he doesn't dislike these things, but just prays silently, and then puts the sacrificial text into the brazier and burns it.
