fake emperor

The day of sacrificial offering came soon, because Qin Zuo got up two hours earlier than usual because of the need to dress up today, the sky outside the window was still dark when she got up, and the palace people who came and went did not dare to make a sound.There was no sleepiness on her face, but she was full of energy, with anticipation deep in her eyes, and some inexplicable excitement.

Putting on the complicated mianfu, Qin Zuo's hands hidden under the wide sleeves moved left and right, which was not very convenient.After a while, the special ceremonial officer came again holding the crown. Qin Zuo put it on very strangely. It seemed that it was the first time for her to wear the crown to go out. She had tried it on before, but she never wore it because she thought it was too heavy. Thinking about it, I was a little excited.

When she went out, the sky was already getting dark, and the jade chariot was waiting outside. Qin Zuo boarded the jade chariot with a calm expression, and the crown hung down to cover her delicate and handsome face, adding a bit of nobility and mystery.

Coming out of the harem, all the officials had been waiting for a long time.Qin Zuo saw Zhuge Ting who was kneeling with all the officials at a glance. After waiving the courtesy, Zhuge Ting looked at her unintentionally and nodded slightly.Qin Zuo knew it well, and his figure became more upright.

All the guards of honor of the emperor are laid out, and the dragon flags are twelve!

There are nearly 72 tiger and lion flags, and [-] holding fans!

There were one hundred soldiers each with swords, bows, and spears.

The closest to the emperor's Luanjia are 99 silver-armored warriors, who are both guards and ceremonial guards. These warriors are all descendants of the great Qin Dynasty. For example, Su Qingyun is one of the 99 people.This is a kind of honor. In the future, most of the generals of Daqin will definitely come from among these 99 people.

After the silver-armored warriors, there are iron armor, leather armor, etc., plus the ministers and officials who follow behind, the palace people with lanterns, etc., the chariots and passengers are linked, the flags are unfurled, and the guards of honor are surrounded by the front and the rear. This team is a full three miles!

After Qin Zuo boarded the eight-horse carriage and signaled to start, the drums sounded and the team moved slowly.Coming out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, outside the palace were crowds of common people who came to watch, after all, Tian Yan was something that many common people were curious about.

Qin Zuo sat impartially, her palms were a little moist. It was the first time she saw such a huge team, although she had already become the protagonist.Out of the corner of his eye, he could catch a glimpse of the quiet people on both sides of the street. They were watching curiously, without taking their eyes off, but they didn't dare to make a sound, let alone push and mutter. Everything seemed very orderly.

Suddenly, Qin Zuo was taken aback. She saw a closed tea shop. There were many people standing in front of the tea shop, but the one in front was a young girl.Oh no, it should be a woman, she is wearing a woman's bun.The woman's eyes were big and bright, and she leaned against a stout man beside her with a smile, looking curiously at the mighty team.

The team never stopped and walked forward unhurriedly. The distance between the two became longer and longer until Qin Zuo could no longer see the woman in his sight.

Qin Zuo remembered that woman, when he came to Chang'an alone and ate Yangchun noodles at the tea shop, the woman would give her a pancake every time.However, the woman at that time was still a young girl named Qiaoqiao.

Qin Zuo's agitated heart calmed down inexplicably. She didn't know why, but she just felt more relaxed than ever, as if she had said goodbye to her former self.

The place of sacrifice is Yuanqiu in the southern suburbs. Yuanqiu is a building specially used for sacrifices built by the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. It is a four-story round altar. around the altar.

The team stopped not far from the round altar, the palace people and soldiers spread out, and a red carpet stretched from the round altar to Qin Zuo's feet. incense table.

There was another burst of drum music, and the ceremonial officer came with a bright yellow scroll, which was the Edict of Guilt, written by the pen officer for His Majesty.But to the outside world, it was naturally written by His Majesty himself.

There are many people around, and the people of the Qin Dynasty have a sense of ownership, thinking that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, so they consciously come to supervise the emperor.Outside were nine big bronze tripods, which were in a round shape and enveloped the crowd faintly. Cigarettes curled up from the tripod, and a very faint scent of spices filled the nostrils of the crowd.

Qin Zuo took the scroll and looked around. The ministers all lowered their heads, sneered, and headed towards the round altar.

The ceremony officer sang the congratulatory speech, Qin Zuo couldn't understand, but she felt that she had a sense of music and stepped on the rhythm with every step.

Qin Zuo climbed the 48 steps and stepped onto the top round platform. At this moment, the round platform originally made of stone had a faint light flashing.The ceremony official who was standing was the first to notice that the words in his mouth were not sung smoothly. After the conclusion was hasty, he immediately congratulated loudly: "God bestows divine light, all blessings, Your Majesty."

Tens of thousands of people around knelt down together, and the people of Daqin were in awe of the gods of heaven and earth.The light tended to become brighter and brighter. At this time, not only the common people, but even the ministers were stunned, and unconsciously knelt down to Qin Zuo.At this moment, they didn't even know whether it was His Majesty Qin Zuo that they were kneeling, or the divine light bestowed by heaven.

Standing, only Qin Zuo surrounded by light.

The corners of Qin Zuo's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at the crowd of ministers kneeling in the dark, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhuge Ting raising his head and winking at her, and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.After tidying up his expression, he unfolded the volume in his hand very seriously, cleared his throat, and began to read: "With virtue, I will inherit the great rule..."

The clear and clear voice echoed in the empty and quiet place. I don’t know if the spices in the Jiuding were put too much, causing the smoke to be hazy. When everyone looked up at His Majesty, they all had a feeling, as if His Majesty was standing on a cloud, far away. and.

Qin Zuo read it a little dry. She had read this guilt letter many times, and knew those parts that could be skipped if she was familiar with it, so she skipped and skipped.The ministers didn't doubt him, and in fact, no one listened seriously. They were all racking their brains to figure out what was going on with that divine light.

"... Use your mind to save people's lives." After the last word fell, Qin Zuo slowly put away the paper.The people below suddenly saw that the round altar, which was already lit in the smoke, suddenly became brighter, and they saw the smoke billowing for a while, as if something was moving inside.

A yellow figure suddenly flashed across the ground, looking in that direction, it seemed to be going to the round altar, and the ministers' eyes were fixed on the round altar.

Suddenly, Zhuge Ting exclaimed: "The real dragon is a golden dragon."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the people in the distance all stretched their necks and looked at this side.

Seeing that the ministers around him didn't seem to have seen it, Zhuge Ting quickly pointed out and said anxiously: "Didn't you see it? It's right there, heading towards His Majesty, with a long beard, a snake body, and four legs. My God, what a surprise! A real dragon appeared."

Immediately, several young ministers also started to exclaim, obviously seeing it.

"The real dragon is attached to His Majesty!" Zhuge Ting said again.

At this moment, the smoke at the round altar cleared up a bit, and thousands of ministers watched helplessly as a golden light entered His Majesty's body, and when they heard Zhuge Ting's words, they seemed to really see the real dragon and His Majesty merged into one.

At this time, a ray of sunlight just fell from the sky, and it happened to shine on the round altar, wrapping Qin Zuo in it.Qin Zuo was stunned for a while while bathed in the sun, and looked at Zhuge Ting, is this also arranged by you?

Zhuge Ting is also confused, is there really a god?

Others didn't care so much, they saw it!They are sure that what they see is real!They are convinced that His Majesty is the real Dragon Emperor!

Qin Zuo just looked down at the subjects below, and she could see excitement, fanaticism, and worship in their eyes.

She feels that she is no different from the leader of the cult now, and the people below are all her followers, she—— is a god!

Originally, Zhuge Ting had planned a lot of things to say, but now she couldn't think of a single word. In the end, she stretched her arms and said only one sentence: "Being ordered by the sky, you will live forever! Daqin Qianqiu!"

The people below were on fire. First of all, the soldiers pulled out their sabers and roared with veins protruding from their necks: "Long live Your Majesty! Great Qin Qianqiu!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Great Qin Qianqiu!" More and more people joined in. Common people, civil servants, and generals, there is no gap at this time, because they still have a common identity-Qin people.

The voices of tens of thousands of people condensed into a rope, breaking through the sky, as if echoing throughout the land of Daqin.

The people in Chang'an seemed to be able to hear the movement, they looked to this side, stared, watched.
