Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 515 Sacrifice and Award

"Han Ji Guangwen Emperor Ji": "March, Gengchen Day. Zhongzu is an altar in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, offering sacrifices to the three ancestors and five ancestors, repairing burnt sputum, and suing the gods, but the gods are in the Han family, Yongsui All over the world. Amnesty to the world."

The music officials played Jiushao music on the left and right of the altar, and the singers recited the ritual words.The drums are loud, the music is noisy, the drums are thunderous, and the ritual songs are high-pitched, resounding through the sky and reverberating around the altar.

Serious soldiers of the Han army lined up on both sides of the road with halberds in their hands, reaching the steps of the altar.

Liu Chan, dressed in black clothes with twelve coats of arms and a twelve-pronged crown, took a deep breath towards the altar and strode away.

Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan respectively led civil and military officials, wearing black clothes and red clothes, and Jinxian crowns, and followed closely behind the emperor of the Han Dynasty with two teams of left Wen and right Wu.

Liu Chan walked up to the altar, Wen Wu stopped, and the surrounding bells and drums became more and more enthusiastic.

As Liu Chan reached the top of the altar, he saw the eight spiritual seats in front of his eyes, arranged in the order of the first three and the last five on the table.Cattle, sheep, and hogs are the prisons, and gold, jade towels and silk are used as sacrificial offerings, and they are neatly placed in front of the three ancestors and five ancestors.

There are three levels of sacrifices, which are as follows: the major sacrifices include the ancestral temple, the second sacrifices include the community, the fifth sacrifices to the five mountains, and the minor sacrifices include Sizhong, Fengshi, mountains and rivers, and hundreds of things.

Those who offer sacrifices to the great sacrifices should have jade and silk and livestock.

The spring breeze blew, and the nine banners of the emperor erected around the altar fluttered.

Liu Chan knelt on the futon under the singing of shooting aid, bowed his hands, prostrated with his upper body, knocked his head on the ground three times, and performed three bows and nine knocks.

"Libi!"

As the singing ended, Liu Chan stood up, exhaled, and took the sacrificial oration handed over by Sheyuan.

Read aloud: "Emperor Zen said: In the past, my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, used his martial arts to meet the expectations, and made great achievements. Emperor Taizong Xiaowen emphasized morality and promoted Han Dao. Emperor Sejong Xiaowu expanded the land and fought against barbarians, and passed the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Zhongzong Xiaoxuan searched for Junyi, and many scholars were in charge of the dynasty. My ancestor Daomai was the three kings, and his meritorious service was the highest among the five emperors. Therefore, the year of divination is twice that of Xia and Shang, and the age of divination is higher than that of Ji."

"Yuan Cheng was secluded, mourned for his lack of success, Wang Mang, a traitor minister, usurped the sky. My ancestor, Emperor Guangwu, gave birth to Shengwu, restored Hongji, sacrificed to Han and matched heaven, without losing old things, so that the three brilliance and darkness can be restored, and the artifact is hidden. And reappear..."

"The sea of ​​yellow turbans is boiling in Kyushu, and the poison of eunuchs is spreading all over the world. Dong Zhuo is rampant because of it, and Cao Cao and his son are looking for it. Therefore, my ancestor, Emperor Zhaolie, is the leader of King Jing of Zhongshan. He established his career with martial arts and spread across Minshu. I hope there will be Thailand in the end..."

"I succeeded to the throne with a weak crown, worked conscientiously, and did not dare to forget the great shame. I took Emperor Guangwu as an example. Therefore, I led the three armies to restore the old capital. Today, I have a small gain, so I will burn it to the sky. I will be Shaoxiu. Karma, make the artifact dark and restore light."

In the sacrificial rites recited by Liu Chan, the deeds of the three patriarchs of the Han Dynasty, that is, the Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang, the Shizu Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, and my ancestor Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei are described.It is also said that the five sects are the merits and virtues of Emperor Wen Liu Heng, Emperor Wu Liu Che, Emperor Xuan Liu Xun, Emperor Ming Liu Zhuang, and Emperor Zhang Liu Da.

As for Liu Bei's temple name, everyone in the Han Dynasty can't tell, and after returning to Chengdu for the time being, he will pursue the temple name.

Everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live."

After the rites and music stopped, Liu Chan sank into his dantian, and said: "Governing the world is based on great virtues, not small benefits. But today is the time for my great man to celebrate. Let the people of the world enjoy the joy of my great man's restoration of the capital. Apart from amnesty, today I am amnesty to the people of Enze Zhen."

"Your Majesty benevolent!" the crowd shouted.

……

That night, Liu Chan held a banquet in Weiyang Palace to celebrate the settlement of Guanzhong.

Liu Chan is in the middle position, Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan sit on both sides to show honor and favor, and the generals sit according to their official positions.

There are nearly a hundred attendants on the left and right sides, walking through the banquet to serve.Although the Weiyang Palace is simple and simple, the dishes prepared for the banquet are very rich, and the smell of wine during the banquet makes people greedy.

However, all the generals at the banquet were a little uncertain about their minds, and they occasionally whispered and asked each other during the exchange of wine and wine.There are only a few people, immersed in the joy of the banquet, enjoying singing and dancing, and tasting delicious food.

Seeing that the time had come, Liu Chan got up and raised his bottle to look at the people on the stage. He said with emotion: "I ascended the throne at a young age, and the great man can be as prosperous as he is today, thanks to the loyalty of all the ministers, forgetting about oneself, and fighting hard."

"I dare not!" The crowd responded.

Liu Chan smiled slightly and recalled: "The one with the most meritorious service is none other than the prime minister. The prime minister was entrusted by the bereaved and assisted me. He went out of Qishan three times and calmed down the northwest. His martial arts are terrific. He made great achievements in Jihan. A genius. I will toast to the prime minister, and I hope you take care."

Zhuge Liang put down his feather fan, held the wine with both hands quickly, dared not accept the gift, and said modestly: "With your majesty's sage and valor, you can restore the old capital without any ministers. The ministers are just following Yi Yin and Lu Shang's affairs, and assisting your majesty in managing the political army."

"Please!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang drank the wine in the bottle.

Liu Chan's eyes fell on Huang Quan, and he said: "The Taiwei's contribution to me is second only to the prime minister. If there is no battle between Qing and Chencang and the siege of Xinling, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to enter Chang'an. Drink a full bottle!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huang Quan drank the contents of the cup respectfully.

After toasting two bottles of wine, Liu Chan glanced around, saw everyone looking at him eagerly, lifted the bottle and said: "I will never forget the merits of the ministers. Therefore, it is necessary to reward the ministers for their merits."

After speaking, Liu Chan cast his eyes on Guan Xing and said, "Just read out the reward in Guan Shizhong."

"promise!"

Guan Xing responded to everyone's expectation, took out the imperial edict from his cuff, read it aloud, and rewarded him for his meritorious service in this battle.

Under the arrangement of Zhuge Liang, the three counties of Ankang, Shangyong, and Xincheng were combined into one county, called Ankang County, which was under the jurisdiction of Yizhou.Hanzhong County also broke away from Qinzhou and returned to Yizhou for management.However, several counties in Guanzhong were placed under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou in order to make up for the loss of Ankang and Hanzhong from Yizhou.

Soon after Guan Xing finished reading, all the officials at the banquet cheered and thanked, and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Ping/Wei Yan... thank you."

Liu Chan raised his bottle, looked around at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "I will return to Chengdu in a few days. Although the Hanguan is settled, the military affairs are not over yet. I hope you will fight hard."

"The ministers must fulfill their mission!"
