Chapter 1228 Hypocritical Sacrifice
Although Mu Yang rushed out of the former Taiwei's bedroom, his situation is still not optimistic.At the same time, a storm conspiracy was brewing in the north of Xudu City and Lianghuangling.

The newly completed imperial mausoleum was completely new inside and out. Shangshuling Xun Yu walked slowly into it with a scroll in his hand, preparing for the presiding work before the sacrificial ceremony.Liu Xie got out of the chariot at this time, and glanced at the song again. It seemed to be about Cao Jie, and it seemed to be the song, and he might have sighed in a low voice like talking to himself: "These vain and funny sacrifices are still I really didn't cut corners... That's right, it's just for outsiders to see, so it really shouldn't be too shameful."

Cao Jie's face turned cold again, his hands tightened suddenly, and he woke up the prince who had already fallen asleep in his arms.The prince's loud cries brought an uneasy noise to this grand ceremony. Liu Xie looked back at Cao Jie and said nothing.

But the single song at this moment seems to have not even heard the cry of the baby, and now his mind is full of one question: Has the emperor discovered his true identity?If he really found out, why didn't he shout out to those Cao Jun to capture him, instead he deliberately covered it up for him?Even, with his mouth shape...

The shadows had long been trained on this situation, and Single actually knew that the most important thing for him to do at this time was to contact the shadows who had already infiltrated the imperial tomb and quickly evacuate! ——Because, for a one-in-ten-thousand chance, the price is the life of comrade Pao Ze!

This must not be tolerated for Shadow, who has always been adhering to 'safety first'! ——But the question now is, how to notify those Mu Yuanfeng and others who have already sneaked into the Imperial Mausoleum at this time? !
Shan Qu is now looking at the imperial mausoleum in front of him, which is a two-story building with pure wooden beams and slanted ridges, with a radius of more than fifty feet.The workmanship of this imperial mausoleum is quite rough, for example, its girders are built on top of nothing, and are supported by twenty foundation pillars around; its rammed foundation is only two feet long, almost standing on the ground.The bucket arches and the ends of the eaves are also quite rough, and the ridge corners of the crown are only stacked with tiles, without warping or stretching.

Such an impression gave Single a strong sense of unease: as a layman, he could see that this imperial mausoleum was a half-finished product that cut corners.Although the exterior of the whole imperial mausoleum is covered with green lacquer, it looks like blue clouds reunited, and the flying dragon looms within.But its wood is not used in imperial mausoleums at all, which is too shabby for the holy place dedicated to the ancestors of the Han Dynasty—but it is obviously unreasonable for the Cao family to attach so much importance to this sacrificial ceremony this time. In it, people feel full of incomprehensible contradictions.

In fact, the specifications of the emperor's travel are also very suspicious.The behavior of the emperor and Cao officials along the way was even more suspicious.The accumulation of these layers of uneasy factors made the single have a strong anxiety about notifying the shadows in the imperial tomb.However, until the sacrificial ceremony was about to begin, Single was still at a loss.

At this moment, Xun Yu's preparations have been completed, and the imperial mausoleum covered with plain silk is about to enter the ceremony stage.At this time, ministers of civil and military affairs entered the tomb one after another. Cao Ang stood in front of the imperial tomb, smiling at the people who entered, while silently remembering the native places and origins of these people in his heart.After getting the news from Tang Xiaomi, Cao Ang became more cautious at the moment, he had to catch those shadows who wanted to pretend to be fake.

But the work of a cup of tea has passed, and the people who entered the imperial mausoleum were all important officials who reported to the Sikong Mansion, and there was not a single suspicious person.Cao Ang glanced at Tang Xiaomi beside him with some doubts, and suddenly found a complex light flashing in Tang Xiaomi's eyes.Looking along the end of the light, Cao Ang only saw the guard of honor beside the emperor's chariot.

"What's the matter?" Cao Ang looked away, and was very surprised by Tang Xiaomi's abnormality: "Did you see anything suspicious?"

"No, it's nothing..." Tang Xiaomi's answer was a little flustered, but then she smiled and asked a little strangely: "Do you think I will tell you the truth after I see something suspicious?"

Cao Ang blinked and glanced at the guard of honor again.This time, he could tell that Tang Xiaomi's gaze was on a seemingly ordinary guard of honor just now.Therefore, he pretended nothing happened, and said to Tang Xiaomi, "It's fine." After he finished speaking, he left the gate of the imperial mausoleum and ordered his subordinates to keep a close eye on the guard of honor—even though it was impossible for the guard of honor to enter The imperial mausoleum made trouble, but Cao Ang felt that it is better to be careful in everything.

After doing this, a ceremony official came to urge Cao Ang to enter the mausoleum.This time Cao Ang came as the eldest son of the Cao family, and in fact, it was Cao Cao's recognition of any of his successors.Cao Ang knew that his task was not small, so he led several attendants and Tang Xiaomi into the imperial mausoleum, and the ceremony officer closed the gate behind them with a bang.

The main hall of the imperial mausoleum is a large and empty hall, and more than a dozen unpainted pillars support the entire building.In the middle of the hall, there are the spiritual tablets, tributes, candles, other funeral rituals and a thick stack of sacrificial rites of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty.All the civil and military personnel stood upright like clay sculptures, without even exposing the atmosphere, and the whole lobby had a somewhat solemn and heavy atmosphere for a while.

With the sound of a thick drum, all the Confucian scholars looked at the host Xun Yu in unison.Xun Yu coughed lightly, walked to the center, raised his hand lightly, and the hall immediately became very quiet.Xun Yu is the most orthodox descendant of the Xun family, so he was able to handle these ceremonies with ease. First, he read an opening text aloud, saying that the Han Dynasty had a lot of troubles, and when He Jin, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and other tigers and wolves practiced it many times, After several migrations, there will be peace in the end.This time, all civil and military officials and the emperor of the current dynasty paid homage to the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, and vowed to spare no effort to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.

It has to be said that Xun Yu's writing was very political. As soon as his words fell, everyone present probably understood the reason why this memorial ceremony was successful. They all have to give each other a bottom line.Immediately, all the civil and military personnel turned their eyes to Liu Xie, the current emperor. After Liu Xie strode towards him, hundreds of civil and military personnel knelt down and watched Liu Xie's reaction.

Liu Xie was noncommittal about this set of remarks.Cao Ang found that today's people are very used to this kind of scene.Every sentence he said was dignified and sad, but when he thought about it carefully, there was no insinuation.It is expected that the final ending will be the same as Xun Yu's argument, so Cao Ang's heart is relieved.

It would take a long time for Liu Xie to finish his worship, so Cao Ang inadvertently leaned back, only to find that the pillar was shaking a little.He was a little surprised, this is a new building, how could the pillars be rotten?He moved his body again, and found that the pillar moved a little more, and an ominous creak came into his ears.Cao Ang raised his head, the shock was no small matter.He saw that the top of the pillar had been sawed off, and only a small piece of wood was used to press between the ceiling and the pillar, which was very unreliable.

Cao Ang looked to the side in panic, and found that all the dozen or so pillars in the hall had this structure.These pillars are an important foundation supporting the entire imperial mausoleum. If they suddenly break or slip, the consequences will be disastrous.Even if the Cao family despised the Han Dynasty again and only wanted to use this sacrifice as an external form, they should not use this method of cutting corners.

Of course, there is another possibility that this imperial mausoleum was not like this before, but was tampered with on purpose the day before the sacrifice!
As soon as this idea came up, Cao Ang's whole body trembled, and he turned his head to look again. At some point, Tang Xiaomi, who had been staying behind him, disappeared.He suddenly realized something, just about to yell for everyone to leave quickly.Suddenly, Xun Yu, who had stepped down from the stage, came towards him, and when he got to his side, he said in a very low voice, "Young Master, this imperial tomb is not safe, we'd better leave immediately!"

"Then what about the people inside?" Cao Ang was anxious, he felt that he couldn't just leave like this.

"My lord, if you are clamoring that the imperial mausoleum is about to collapse, what will the world think of the Cao family if it gets out?" Xun Yu's face darkened, and he said the main point.

Cao Ang suddenly realized that indeed, His Majesty is still talking at length in the lobby at this moment.Once I shouted, not to mention being disrespectful to the emperor, if someone said that I despised the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Cao family would be infamous forever, and the purpose of this worship to show off would be completely ruined!
"Then what should we do?"

"Go out first, send a few Cao troops to pretend to be assassins, and then order the army to maintain order and withdraw slowly. If we do this, even if someone condemns us afterwards, we can still pour dirty water on those who should be splashed at will..."
