The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Worshiping heaven is the most solemn and solemn sacrificial ceremony of the Chinese nation, which originated in ancient times.It is a form of "communication" between man and heaven.The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is usually presided over by the emperor, but this time, Dong Zhuo replaced the emperor.By offering sacrifices to the sky, people express their gratitude to the sky for nourishing and nurturing all things, and pray for the emperor to bless the people of China.

The Han Dynasty attached great importance to the sacrifices of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, and stars, and divided the shamans and Zhus into performing their duties.Emperor Wu believed in immortal alchemists. He set up many shrines in Chang'an North Palace, Shanglin Garden, Ganquan Palace and other palaces. He also built Bailiangtai, copper pillars, and immortal dew trays. He also repaired shrines and promoted sacrificial activities all over the country. .Now these things no longer exist, and can only be replaced by this temporary earthen platform.

Dong Zhuo began to fast three days before offering sacrifices to heaven.On the second day, write the congratulations on the congratulations board.On the last day, the animals are slaughtered, the sacrifices are made, and the sacrificial utensils are arranged in the shrine; Dong Zhuo reads the blessing board, goes to the Taimiao to offer incense, goes to the Tiantai to see the gods, goes to the shrine to inspect the side beans, and the shrine to inspect the animals, and then returns to the fasting palace fast.On the eve of the sacrifice, the Minister of Taichang Temple led his subordinates to arrange the god tablets, offering vessels, and sacrifices;

The decorations for offering sacrifices to heaven are exquisite, the sacrifices are abundant, and the rules are strict.A total of seven groups of gods are set up on the platform for offering sacrifices to the sky, and each group of gods is made of azure satin to form a temporary tent.The main seat is set on the north side of the center stone on the uppermost floor, which is the tablet of the emperor.On the east and west sides of the second floor, there are slave seats, which are the tablets of the sun, moon, stars, and wind and thunder. Jade, silk, whole cows, whole sheep, whole pigs, wine, fruits, dishes and other offerings are arranged in front of the gods. , this is the three animals.There are more than 60 pieces of vessels for holding sacrifices and various ritual vessels used.On the east and west sides of the south steps of the Tiantai, there are more than [-] pieces of Zhonghe Shaoyue, which are composed of musical instruments, arranged neatly and solemnly.Taoist priests recruited from various places surround the altar, and they have been reciting scriptures since last night to show their sincerity.

When the time came, the Taihe Bell rang in the Zhai Palace, Dong Zhuo got up and went to the Tiantai for offering sacrifices, the bell stopped, the drums sounded, and the grand ceremony officially began.At this time, the burnt calf is sacrificed in the southeast of the roof, and the sky lantern is hung in the southwest. The smoke and clouds are misty, and the candle shadows are red, giving people a very mysterious feeling.Dong Zhuo first went to the clothing platform on the southeast side outside the south gate to change the sacrificial clothes, then entered the sacrifice platform from the left door, and worshiped the gods on the middle platform.At this time, burnt the firewood stove, greeted the God of the Emperor, and played the "Chapter of the Beginning of Peace".Dong Zhuo knelt down in front of the head of the God of God in the upper layer, offered incense, and bowed three times and nine times to the gods.

In the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the emperor displayed the "divine power of the emperor", which showed a trick played by the divine authority of the emperor.All the ministers and the people of Chang'an participated in full participation, and no loud noises, let alone noise, were allowed during the ceremony.Anyone who makes a slight mistake will be severely punished.

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong was dissatisfied with the lack of neat writing on the altar of blessings offered by Emperor Qianlong.Dissatisfied with the lack of neatness of the mattresses set up by the dressing table.He was dissatisfied with the fact that three sky lanterns should be hung according to regulations and one was missing.These three trivial matters made Qianlong furious and ordered an investigation.As a result, Luo Yuanhan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Nuo Muqin, Minister of the Right, Debao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Deming, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, were all dismissed.In particular, Xu Ji, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, received the most severe punishment and was sent to Xinjiang after his dismissal.At the same time, relevant officials were found dismissed and sent to Yili to serve as atonement.

After tossing and tossing for a whole day, everyone was exhausted, and Dong Zhuo was even more dizzy and felt uncomfortable all over his body.Finally the sacrifice to heaven was over, Wang Yun hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Dong Zhuo: "His Royal Highness, the sacrifice to heaven went very well. Your Majesty issued an order to let King Yong enter the palace. Your Majesty would like to thank King Yong for performing the sacrifice to heaven on his behalf. !"

Dong Zhuo wanted to decline, but after thinking about it, he agreed.Maybe it's God's own decree somewhere, Dong Zhuo is doomed this time, or maybe Dong Zhuo has other considerations, remembering the graceful figure of a lady in the palace?Finally decided to enter the palace.Wang Yun gave Long Fei a wink, and immediately shouted with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yong enters the palace...!"

Taking advantage of the chaos, Long Fei quietly led his people out from the scene of offering sacrifices to heaven.He didn't go back to his own mansion, but asked Dian Wei to take three hundred guards back to protect the whole family.On the other hand, he and Zhao Yun and others walked around half of the city and headed for the military camp.Worshiping the heavens made Dong Min feel exhausted. The more than 1 horses in his hand were a bit stretched. Not only did he have to be responsible for the palace guards, but he also had to maintain the venue for worshiping the heavens, as well as the road from the palace to the Tiantai.

Except that Dong Min was in charge of these critical areas, he handed over all the other areas to Long Fei.This is what Long Fei hoped for.Pushing open the curtain of the big tent, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and others have been waiting for a long time.With a serious face, Long Fei looked at everyone's faces: "I've been waiting for several months for this day. Whether or not this matter will come true is up to you. I won't say anything else. I just need to tell you. Dong Zhuo is cruel and bloodthirsty, how can we be his eagle dog, if I don't kill Dong Zhuo today, I will die!"

"If you don't kill Dong Zhuo, you will never die! If you don't kill Dong Zhuo, you will never die!" Several people shouted together, and even the captains, generals, chiefs, and chiefs outside the tent were all excited!

"Where is Gan Ning!" Long Fei was the first to order Gan Ning, which surprised Gan Ning.In terms of my qualifications, I'm not the first one, I didn't expect Long Fei to call me.Hastily stood up: "The end is here!"

"I order you to lead Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang to lead your troops, occupy the east gate, and send more scouts to prevent Dong Zhuo's army from Feng Yi, Lantian and other places from suddenly attacking. Before the matter is completed, you must not take half a step back!" Long Fei He grabbed a command arrow and handed it to Gan Ning.Gan Ning was overjoyed. For this mission, although killing Dong Zhuo was the key, what to do after Dong Zhuo was killed was more important.Long Fei sent himself to garrison the east gate, and specially confessed to guard against Li Jue and Guo Si, which shows that Long Fei used military resourcefulness.Gan Ning took the order and left.

Long Fei sent Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang to control the south, west, and north gates respectively.Leave Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to enter the palace with him.In addition, Long Fei gave Jiang Qin a special task.Let Jiang Qin lead three thousand troops to Meiwu.Although Long Fei didn't say what he was doing, with Jiang Qin's intelligence, he still couldn't guess the reason?Smiling at Long Fei, he took his orders and went.

Dong Zhuo's car drove away very slowly, and Wang Yun arranged that along the way, officials congratulated Dong Zhuo, and offered wine and food one after another.Entering from the south gate, there are almost three steps and one stop, and five steps and one rest.Dong Zhuo didn't tire of trouble.Wang Yun smiled slightly, leaned over to Dong Zhuo's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you know why all the ministers treat you like this?"

Dong Zhuo was puzzled.Wang Yun leaned forward again: "A few days ago, General Dong Min wrote many times to ask His Majesty to take the throne. His Majesty originally intended to do so, but because Ma Ridan and others tried their best to dissuade him, this time the king sacrificed to heaven on behalf of His Majesty." , since the founding of Taizu in this dynasty, when has Your Majesty ever heard the saying that the person who worships the sky is not the emperor?"

Dong Zhuo stared at Wang Yun with wide eyes.Wang Yundao: "If the old minister's guess is correct, His Majesty will definitely discuss the matter of the Zen position with the King when he enters the palace this time!"

The voice just fell.I heard a "click".Dong Zhuo's carriage stopped suddenly, and the magnificent carriage fell to one side.The horse driving the shaft was frightened, raised its hooves and jumped violently.The driver was caught off guard and fell down, right under the horse's hooves.He was stepped on five or six times by the horse's hoof, and when everyone pulled him out, he was already dead for a long time.Dong Zhuo rolled out of the carriage, his fat body rolled seven or eight times on the ground, and stopped only with the joint efforts of several soldiers.

Dong Min and Li Su hurried forward to help.Dong Zhuo's skin was rough and his flesh was thick, but there was some dirt on his body, so there was no serious injury.After finding the reason, it turned out that the axle of the carriage was broken.Everyone looked at each other not knowing what to say.Wang Yun hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Your Majesty, please think, if your Majesty ascends to the sky in one step, how can such vehicles and drivers be worthy of the status of Your Majesty? This is just God's request for Your Majesty to change!"

The courtiers on the side quickly agreed.Although Li Su was puzzled, he didn't dare to pour cold water on seeing the congratulations from the crowd.Dong Min heard the secret words of Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun clearly just now.After a moment of hesitation, he immediately ordered Xu Rong to go to the palace and get the emperor's car.Such rebellious remarks were immediately opposed by the veterans.Dong Min didn't take it seriously, he drew out his sword and waved it in front of his eyes: "Anyone who has any objection can speak to my sword!"

Compared with Dong Zhuo's car, Liu Xie's car is only slightly different in color. Speaking of luxury, it is far inferior to Dong Zhuo.Although after the false alarm just now, Dong Zhuo was still a little excited.emperor!The ruler of the whole world, Dong Zhuo's ancestor was not a rich and powerful person. He relied on his bravery step by step to get to today, from the Xiliang border to the capital, and then sat on the grand master. The throne of King Yong can only be described in two words , that is hardship.Although Dong Zhuo is cruel and loves money, he has given a lot in these years.When the army was defeated, Dong Zhuo almost went bankrupt in order to exonerate himself.

Patting the dust off his body, Dong Zhuo smiled, laughing that he had finally reached the peak, that he had finally reached a height that his predecessors had never gone before.From a distance, the people kneeling at his feet looked like a mass of ants.He walked this part of the road very comfortably.Chaoyang Gate is the main entrance of the Imperial Palace, and Yongzheng Hall is the main hall of the Imperial Palace.After entering the Chaoyang Gate, you can see the Yongzheng Hall, and even the high throne in the Yongzheng Hall can be seen clearly.Just go one step further.

Liu Xie recuperated in Weiyang Palace, and Wang Yun led Dong Zhuo and a dozen personal guards towards Weiyang Palace.Dong Min laughed and said, "Brother, you go first, I'm going to prepare for the Zen ceremony!"

Long Fei stood beside Liu Xie with a stern expression on his face.For more than a year, I have never felt so peaceful.The calm before the war was formed by his career as a special soldier. The more important the juncture is, the more he must keep himself calm.Dong Zhuo's heavy footsteps could be heard from far away, Liu Xie was a little nervous, and unconsciously moved his body.Long Fei gently put a hand on his shoulder.Liu Xie glanced at Long Fei gratefully.
