Great Military Division

Chapter 568
The weather, which had been cloudy for several days in a row, unexpectedly cleared up on the day of the Winter Festival Heaven Ceremony, and even the cold north wind stopped, as if it was also celebrating this grand festival.

Liu Bian got up early in the morning, under the service of more than ten maids, bathed in aromatherapy, combed his hair, changed into the emperor's royal clothes, and then left the palace under the watchful eyes of the empress.

unfortunately
Now that the empress is pregnant, it is inconvenient to travel, otherwise it would be most appropriate for such a grand festival to be completed by the emperor and empress together.

After leaving the palace, Zhu Tong, the commander of the guards, was already waiting by the side, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, it's time for us to get in the car. Shi Taichang has already made preparations, and we can patrol the city when His Majesty rushes over."

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded, and with the support of Zhu Tong, he got on the Longyu treasure car, with a canopy of auspicious clouds on his head, surrounded by the sun, moon and stars, and he stepped on the Great Han Shenzhou, with mountains, rivers and lakes in it, implying that between heaven and earth, I am the only one.

Sitting down is a dragon chair made of pure gold. Two small dragons on the left and right support Liu Bian's hands. Behind him is a giant dragon, which is majestic and domineering, symbolizing the sacred and lofty status of the Great Han Emperor, which is inviolable.

The entire dragon chair is exquisitely carved, and the golden dragon hovering on it is lifelike and vivid, which can be said to be truly exquisite and exquisite.

"Out of the palace—!"

Zhu Tong's voice was like a bell, and he gave the order to set off.

In an instant, it was like a sea of ​​fire burning ragingly. Rows of red horses symbolized the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and would never go out.

If you look carefully, you can find that these war horses are about the same size, and even the color of their coats is the same. When they walk, there is only one sound, which sounds very pleasant. If they had not been trained for a long time, would they Can be so neat and uniform.

Rows of heroic Huben and Habayashi officers and soldiers accompanying the guards walked towards Suzaku Gate along with Long Yu's treasure car at a neat, rhythmic and orderly pace.

Squeak-!
As the emperor's Longyu treasure car drove towards Suzaku Gate, the majestic palace gate slowly opened, and the warm sunshine poured in, followed by that wave-like voice entering the palace gate:

"My emperor of the Han Dynasty, the age of prosperity for thousands of years;"

"Conquer the world, live forever!"

"."

Although Liu Bian already knew the whole process, and his heart should have been calm, but when this wave of sound rushed into his ears, he could still clearly feel the purification from the depths of his soul, as if floating into it all at once. From the clouds, overlooking the world.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were even more excited by this wave of shots. Such a scene was more shocking than any TV series:
"Damn it! The sound and the atmosphere are simply amazing, but it's a pity that there is no BGM."

"I remembered the BGM of a certain documentary in the palace, and I synthesized it later, it will definitely explode!"

"See, the ministers of civil and military affairs, and barbarians from all over the world are all waiting respectfully. This is the coercion of the emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

"Even I couldn't help but double-click and shout 666 to Master Bian."

"However, Laozi has no culture, and a word of shit goes around the world."

"The chapter of the prosperous age is written at this moment."

"."

When Liu Bian's Longyu treasure chariot drove out from Zhuquemen, civil and military officials, barbarians from all over the world bowed to Liu Bian one after another, and the sound of mountain shouts was like thunder rolling, resounding in every corner of Luoyang Imperial City.

Urge-!
The car stops and the horse stops.

Liu Bian stood up and waved his hands at the civil servants and generals: "Everyone loves you."

The ministers shouted again: "Long live my emperor thank you."

Then, a loud voice sounded:

"The emperor goes to heaven, and shines on the earth;"

"Heaven reveals the way, but the like only reveals it."

"."

This is the first ceremony of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

Palace ceremony.

The emperor brought all the civil and military officials to pay homage outside the Suzaku Gate.

Shi Zixuan led hundreds of Taoists. On the three big stone bridges outside the palace, the altar was opened. The melodious Taoist sound was refreshing, as if in an instant, people felt the prosperity and peace of the world and the emptiness of the mind.

Even Liu Bian, who never liked such vain things, could not help but be attracted by Dao Yin at this moment, his mind calmed down instantly, and he bowed slightly to show his respect to the heaven.

According to the sacrificial procedure, after reciting the sacrificial words, Liu Bian personally burned incense and worshiped. After the ceremony was completed, he could take a hundred officials to tour the city and parade, and finally left Luoyang and went to Beiman Mountain for the final ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

now.

Liu Bian had already got off the Longyu treasure car, holding three yellow incense sticks as thick as fingers, and respectfully inserted them into the four-legged bronze tripod, the long green smoke slowly drifted high into the sky, as if bringing the sacrificial words from the world into the heavenly palace.

"Enyang God, celebrate the long history of Gaoming;"

"Virtue overflows the world, and is the auspicious auspiciousness of prosperity and peace."

"."

"Choose today, look up to the heavens and worship the holy;"

"Eternal peace in the world, joy in peace and prosperity."

"."

"The Palace Sacrifice is complete—!"

"The emperor drives."

Hearing the sound, Liu Bian moved back to Longyu's treasure chariot, followed Shi Zixuan's team, and passed slowly on the bridge in the middle in front of Zhuque Gate. The escorting warriors followed slowly.

It was only at this moment that he really left the imperial palace and entered the smoldering folk. The two sides of the [-]-foot-wide Zhongxing Avenue were surrounded by people wearing various clothes.

Some people shouted "Long Live" at the top of their voices, waving the colorful ribbons in their hands, trying to attract the attention of His Majesty the Emperor, and take a look here;
Some people stood on their toes, scrambling among the crowd, poking their heads, their big watery eyes filled with anticipation, piercing eyes, as if expressing their reverence for His Majesty the Emperor;

The little dolls sat on their parents' necks, holding ribbons in their hands, and kept shaking. They may not know what the procession coming from the end of the road means, but the festive atmosphere made them smile happily .

The majestic tiger and wolf soldiers, with five steps for one post and ten steps for one sentry, are all dressed in tough clothes, with their heads held high, majestic and domineering.

Liu Bian, who drove from the end of the street, looked at the scene of joy in the city, and his pride doubled. Originally, in an era of frequent wars and countless casualties, he subdued him with thunder to avoid causing greater disasters. Merit.

Experts from the military alliance once gave a set of data. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han population was at least 6000 million. After decades of famine and wars, by the time of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Han population was only 770 million.

Ten is not one.

It was extremely cruel!
According to the latest data submitted by Xun Yu, as of now, the total population of Han people is at least 200 million. Not only has it not decreased, but it has increased significantly.

This is not only because of the shortened period of the war, but also because of Liu Bian's abolition of counting Fu and oral Fu, which led to the initial signs of population explosion. I believe that in the near future, the number of Han people will surely exceed [-] million, showing an explosive pattern. increase.

Big guy!

Already thriving.

Liu Bian kept waving and smiling at the people on both sides. Every time he passed by, there would be a burst of shouting like a mountain roar, as if to completely ignite the reverence in the hearts of the people.

This scene, not to mention the big men at the scene, even the netizens in front of the mobile phone, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, and they all praised and shouted:
"Fuck! It's so awesome, no wonder everyone wants to be emperor."

"When I have a baby, I must name him Liu Che!"

"Master Bian's life is enough, envy, envy and hate."

"Although there are no planes or cannon guards, it's very stylish, and it can be called the top of the era."

"This guy Shi Zixuan is so good at playing, he is even more powerful than when he escaped from Luoyang Palace."

"Isn't that nonsense, this is a specification exclusive to Master Bian, how can Liu Xie compare?"

"I actually feel a sense of pride."

"Big movie on the cliff!"

"Big praise!"

"+1"

"+2"

"+10086"

"+ID number"

"."

About an hour.

at last.

Come to the place where the second heaven worship hall is.

Over ten thousand people had already gathered here, and the altar was completely surrounded.

Under the attention of all the people, Liu Bian got off the Long Yu treasure car and stepped on the red carpet road leading to the altar.

Woo!Woo!Woo!
Woohoo-!
The long sound of the horn sounded in an instant, spreading throughout the entire imperial city in an instant. The originally noisy venue became quiet because of the sound of the horn, and everyone's eyes focused on His Majesty the Emperor.

"Alas-!"

"Only the heavens benefit the people, and the heavens open up the earth;"

"Heaven reveals the way, but the like only reveals it."

"."

"Fuwei God, Xi Fu auspicious in the Three Realms;"

"Stay high and listen to the low, and be the real slaughter in the ten directions."

"."

In order to ensure that tens of thousands of people can hear the sacrificial words, Shi Zixuan arranged for 100 people to recite here.

The people around the altar were silent after hearing the sound, bowing their hands one after another, with an extremely humble attitude, which was completely different from the hustle and bustle of welcoming His Majesty the Emperor before.

At the end of the sacrificial speech, Liu Bian held up three yellow incense sticks again, inserted them into the bronze tripod in the middle of the altar, and bowed respectfully towards the bronze tripod, thus ending the Luoyang ceremony.

"May the gods of yin and yang be unfathomable, to show selflessness."

"Magnificantly cast mana, great auspiciousness; respond to every request, no one will show up."

"When the weather is smooth, there will be no disasters; the five grains will be plentiful, and the six animals will prosper."

"."

Afterwards, the people of Luoyang stood up and shouted "Long live" one after another, and returned to the same hustle and bustle as before, as if the Luoyang ceremony was just a small episode of the emperor's tour of the city.

Accompanied by the emperor's Longyu treasure chariot set off again, civil and military officials, Yidi from all over the world followed closely, followed by tens of thousands of common people, all of whom were slowly heading towards the altar of Beiman Mountain.

Fortunately, the roads cleared by officers and soldiers have long been cleared, otherwise they will be engulfed by the flow of people. Today's Beimang Mountain is no longer as cold and bleak as it used to be. On the contrary, the trees, mountains, and branches are full of naughty people, and it is lively. I don't know how much.

Although half an hour's journey was not far, but with such naughty people as company, Liu Bian, who was a bit bored, had a little joy other than the ceremony.

This scene, not to mention Liu Bian, even the netizens in the live broadcast room, and even the experts of the military alliance couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Liu Bian chatted with them about interesting things along the way, but he didn't find it boring. Instead, he would smile lightly from time to time, which made Zhu Tong, the commander of the guards at the side, a little surprised and stunned, as if he thought His Majesty was suffering from hysteria.

The team walked slowly all the way to the foot of Beiman Mountain, passed through the lush forest, and came to a square made of bluestone bricks. The altar in the middle was also made of stone blocks. It was not a temporary building, but a permanent one.

The altar has a radius of 24 feet, and each floor is three feet high, nine feet in total. Eight coiled dragon stone pillars are erected around it, forming a eight-diagram pattern, which is solemn and solemn.

Shi Zixuan's team had already arrived, and 28 carefully selected Taoists were divided into four sides and stood under the altar, with only seven people on each side, according to the 28 constellations.

The seven men from the east are dressed in navy-blue Taoist uniforms, holding long poles with a bull's head on the tip of the pole, according to the horns, kang, clan, house, heart, tail, and dustpan, they are clothed in the shape of a black dragon;

The seven people from the north are wearing soap-colored Taoist uniforms, holding long poles with seven star belts on them, and pressing Dou, Niu, Nu, Xu, Danger, Room, and Wall in the posture of Xuanwu;

The seven Westerners are dressed in white Taoist uniforms, holding banners in their left hands and swords in their right hands, standing in the majesty of the white tiger according to Kui, Lou, Wei, Subaru, Bi, Qi, and Shen;

The seven people from the south were wearing scarlet Taoist uniforms, holding the incense burner in both hands, and forming the shape of a vermilion bird according to the well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing and Zhen.

There was a person standing in the middle of the altar, none other than Taoist Shi Zixuan.

He was wearing an apricot-yellow taoist robe, holding Bai Yan in one hand, and a yellow ax in the other, chanting words in his mouth, walking with strange steps on his feet, and kept praying for blessings.

It was at the end of the time, the sun was shining, the fragrance was wafting, and it was lingering. It was a pity that there were no rare and exotic animals, and there were thousands of auspicious colors, otherwise it would definitely feel like a fairyland.

Liu Bian got out of the Longyu treasure car and set foot on the road to the altar. The civil and military officials and the Sifang barbarians lined up in order, respectfully lined up on the left and right sides.

"The emperor goes to heaven, and shines on the earth;"

"A moment of unification, an eternal fragrance."

"."

"The god of Chengtian, happy with wind and rain;"

"There are all kinds of flowers and plants, and there is nothing but luxuriant."

"."

A sacrificial speech resounded in the forest like the sound of a fairy, Liu Bian walked up to the altar, knelt on the yellow futon, raised his hands to the sky, clapped, and then knelt down on the ground, respecting the gods of heaven and earth.

"On the day of the Winter Festival in the fifth year of Zhongxing, I brought all the civil and military officials and barbarians from all over the world to look up to the heavens and worship the gods, and to look forward to the gods sent by the heavens.

"."

"Since ancient times, the emperors have stood up to heaven and set the poles, representing all nations, their Kaisers are all over the world, their benevolence is as good as Yisi, they inherit the great unity of the Han Dynasty, and they are far away from the emblem. , filial piety and integrity, meritorious deeds."

"."

This sacrificial speech was impassioned, like the music of heaven.

Civil and military officials, barbarians from all over the world shouted long live, and prayed together to heaven to maintain peace and rebuild a prosperous world.

Although Sifang Yidi couldn't understand Chinese, all the translators were there. After listening to His Majesty's statement, everyone was so moved that they even wished to give the emperor a knock on the spot.

In the past, some people would have speculated that the emperor's move must have ulterior motives and conspiracy behind it, but looking at it now, His Majesty's prayer for peace is really touching.
