Emperor Liu Hong

204 Living Sacrifice

With the destruction of Karasuma, this time Liu Hong's imperial conquest will be successfully concluded.Liu Hong didn't stay any longer, and led his team back to the dynasty in victory.

The news of the big victory was sent back to the big man early in the morning.The current big man is overjoyed from top to bottom.There is no way to be unhappy, the emperor's personal conquest this time directly wiped out the three major enemies of Xianbei, Goguryeo and Karasuma, and directly occupied their land.The land obtained almost exceeds the current area of ​​Dahan.Although such a great victory cannot be said to have been unprecedented, in this dynasty, it is almost the founding of Gaozu and the restoration of Emperor Guangwu, so it can be compared with this great victory.For the rest, even Emperor Wu's defeat of the Huns could not keep up with this victory.

The big victory is still secondary. Everyone knows that this victory is a real war of annihilating the country.Directly plundered everything in Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Karasuma, and occupied their land.The benefits obtained are almost impossible to count.Next, it must be the distribution of these benefits, which is the focus of everyone's happiness.

The people of the Han Dynasty were happy, and Liu Hong was also happy.With such a big victory, his position is almost unshakable.Then, after dividing the dividends of this war, the various contradictions of the big man will definitely be alleviated, and he can enjoy life in peace and stability.

Just when Liu Hong was looking forward to a better life in the future, someone came to report that Prime Minister Liu Shu led all the civil and military officials, and they were already waiting to meet their triumphant army.

Liu Hong stood on the front of the car and took a look. It was really dark in front of him.As for the people in front of them, they also saw the triumphant team at this time, and in an instant, there was a din of gongs and drums.

After coming to the front, under the guidance of the Minister of Rites, Qiao Xuan, a series of ceremonies were held.Liu Hong called Liu Shu closer.

"Uncle Huang, it's still far away from the capital, why did you bring someone here first?"

"Your Majesty, it's only a hundred miles away from the capital, so it's not far away. With your victory this time, if it wasn't too late, I'd like to go to Liaoxi to meet Your Majesty and all the triumphant soldiers."

Now Liu Shu's face is smiling like a flower.You know, these three enemies.They were all destroyed during his tenure as prime minister, and history will remember this feat for him.

"Your Majesty, you have won such a big victory this time, and we are all elated. You don't know, in the past few days, there are batches of foreign envoys who have come to sacrifice. They are about to close the door of the Ministry of Rites squeezed out."

"Oh. Then the emperor must be very busy too?"

"This kind of thing, no matter how busy I am, I will be happy. Let alone the three great enemies, just by catching Tan Shihuai, I will be willing to die even if I am busy." Said, Liu Shu pointed Pointing to the sandalwood locust tree in the prison car behind.He continued: "This guy was so crazy at the time, he even refused the first emperor's title of king and concubine. This matter made the big man a laughing stock in the vassal state."

"Uncle Huang said that. I think about it now. Now that we have caught Tan Shihuai, shall we take him to the late emperor's mausoleum to worship?"

"This is a good idea. It helped the late emperor to wash away the shame and improve the morale of the big man." But Liu Shu then asked: "But your majesty, I have never held such a living sacrifice in my dynasty. There is no specific regulation. We don't know how to proceed."

"Hey, it's a big deal not to have a specific regulation. Let's create one ourselves. It's nothing more than an ordinary sacrificial ceremony, plus the slaughter of living people. What's so difficult about it?"

"Ah, what does your Majesty mean to kill Tanshihuai in front of the late emperor's mausoleum?" Liu Shu was quite surprised. His original intention was to put Tanshihuai in front of the late emperor's mausoleum to show his face.

"Isn't it a living sacrifice? If you don't kill him, what kind of a living sacrifice is that!" Liu Hong ignored Liu Shu's difference and continued: "On the day of the living sacrifice, call those envoys over and let them know , A big man cannot be provoked."

"Yes, according to His Majesty, this can be considered waste utilization."

In this way, during the discussion between the two, Liu Hong and the others returned to the capital.Liu Shu didn't stop, and went directly to arrange the living sacrifice.And Liu Hong didn't rest for a while, after all, after the big victory, there were countless things waiting for him to deal with.

Such things as amnesty to the world, universal celebration, and rewards for meritorious officials, all these things require him to do it himself.So Liu Hong has been busy for three days without touching his feet.

Early in the morning, Liu Hong brought the ministers of civil and military affairs and envoys from various countries to the mausoleum of Emperor Huan to hold a living sacrifice ceremony.This ceremony was not only to help Liu Hong wash away the humiliation of Emperor Huan, but also to deter other countries.After all, the fruit of this victory is really too big, and the big man will never be able to digest it in a short time.Now it is very necessary to frighten the foreigners and make them all be more honest.

In the sound of Qiao Xuan reading the sacrificial text, Liu Hong led the crowd to pay homage to Emperor Huan.As soon as the sacrificial text was read, Tan Shihuai and his son He Lian were escorted to the mausoleum together.

Tan Shihuai knew that he was doomed this time, so he no longer had the same spirit as before, and when he was escorted up, his whole head was swaying.And his son, Helian, was in the same situation as him, with a pale face.

Now they are just sacrifices waiting to be slaughtered.Therefore, no matter whether they are energetic or not, the swordsmen and axemen immediately tied the sandalwood locust trees to the stakes that had been set up as soon as they were escorted up.But his son, He Lian, was pushed and knelt beside him.

Originally, according to Liu Shu's intention, Tan Shihuai's head was cut off directly, and the matter was over after a sacrifice.But Liu Hong felt that this would not have much deterrent effect.So let Liu Shu make the scene a little bloodier.

It was difficult for Liu Shu and Qiao Xuan to be destroyed. The two discussed for a long time, but they couldn't figure out how to fix the bloody scene.In the end, it was decided that Tan Shihuai would be cut open and his heart cut out, while his son Helian should be beheaded directly.

Beheading is not new, but Liu Hong is quite curious about this kind of heart-opening, so he has been paying attention to it.

After Tan Shihuai was tied up, a swordsman stood in front of him.At this time, another knife-axe, holding a tray, stood beside the knife-axe.

The knife-axe hand picked up a dagger from the tray and put it in his mouth, then pulled off Tan Shihuai's clothes with both hands, revealing his hairy chest.At this time, Tan Shihuai raised his head slowly, and Liu Hong also saw fear in his eyes.

Regardless of other things, the knife and ax hand picked up a bowl of white wine on the tray and poured it directly on Tan Shihuai's chest.At this moment, Tan Shihuai's body tensed up, and then he closed his eyes tightly.

The knife and ax hand held the dagger in his hand, and the knife and ax hand beside Helian also raised the big knife high.With Qiao Xuan's voice to pay homage, Helian's head dropped.And the other axeman also pierced the dagger into Tan Shihuai's chest.

Tan Shihuai let out a muffled groan, and opened his eyes wide, and the knife and axe also pulled out his heart at this time.A bright red heart was still beating non-stop, but Tan Shihuai, the peerless hero on the grassland, passed away in a strong unwillingness. (To be continued..)
