Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1652 Guilty Edict

  Solar eclipse is naturally not just a phenomenon in one place. It can be seen in the whole of China, the great rivers, the north and the south, but some people just see it when they see it, and some people not only see it, but also think of something...

  After entering May, the weather gradually gets hotter. Although it is not as hot as midsummer, it is much better than the coldness of early spring.

  Xu County naturally felt the coming of summer, at least the flow of people in the city was much higher, and it was no longer like before, with three or two big cats and small cats.

The price of the goods on the market also began to drop gradually after Cao Cao returned to Xu County, and what is interesting is that, normally, if there are more soldiers in one place, it will inevitably cause the price of this place to rise. This time, however, the overall prices are the opposite...

   This naturally attracted some people's attention.

   "After today, I'm afraid business will be difficult..."

   "What does Xiongtai mean?"

   "Can't you see it yet? Hehe, I'd better go to Guanzhong after I collect the goods here..."

   "What's the difference between Guan and Zhong?"

   "It means less collusion between government and businessmen, driving up prices and robbing people's wealth..."

   "Shh...be careful, be careful..."

   "Be careful what you say! Then...uh, this...hehe..."

  Guo Jia turned his head and smiled with Xun Yu, watching the two businessman-like guys turned around and went into the alley, "You can't take these guards? Look, people are scared away..."

   "A gentleman should be upright." Xun Yu glanced at it, then shook his head slightly, "Businessmen, who seek to profit from the poor, lie to the market, how can you believe it?"

   "Okay, you have the final say..." Guo Jia didn't argue, and walked forward leisurely, "Anyway, your guards have come out, and I will help you move some things later..."

   "What?" Xun Yu frowned slightly, as if he had an ominous premonition.

"The restaurant in front!" Guo Jia stretched out his hand and pointed, "I heard that a batch of wine arrived after a long time... I definitely can't move it by myself..." Before, there were some delivery services, but now things are rare and expensive. Not only has the shipping cost increased a lot, but it is also ignored. If you want to buy wine, you will pay for it. If you don’t buy it, you will be fucked!

  Besides, if you can get drinks now, can you do it without background? There's going to be a commotion, and I don't know if it's related to the nepotism of that big guy...

   "Nowadays the price of wine is inflated... Xun Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Let's wait a little longer..."

  Guo Jia grabbed Xun Yu's sleeve and said, "I can wait, but I can't wait because I'm drunk! Hehe, otherwise, why should I wait for you in front of the office?"

   "Release..." Xun Yu sighed, "Just one pot!"

   "Five altars!" Guo Jia didn't let go, but stretched out another slap.

   "No money!" Xun Yu flatly refused, "Just one pot!"

   "Then three altars?" Guo Jia's eyes were piercing, carefully scanning the subtle changes on Xun Yu's face, "Two altars? Can't be less, let me go if I promise..."

   Xun Yu stood still, "Just one altar! Let go, or there will be no such altar!"

   "Okay!" Guo Jia obediently let go of his hand immediately, "One pot is one pot..."

  Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia helplessly, and shook his head, "Your salary is quite a lot, and the lord is often rewarded, why... oh..."

  Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Is there any? Why do I feel that the salary will be used up in three days?"

   Xun Yu was speechless.

  Just as the two were walking forward, suddenly the sky darkened suddenly, and immediately the surroundings were dark, as if night had come suddenly!

   Countless people panicked and walked out of the room to the street and looked up at the sky.

"What's wrong?"

"it's dark!"

"what happens?"

All kinds of voices came and went, and there were some screams from unknown people. Some people stood at a loss, and some people grabbed the utensils around them and began to beat them, "Tiangou eclipses the sun, eclipses the sun... "

  Guo Jia and Xun Yu stood in the protective circle of the guards, and the two blurted out almost at the same time: "There will be chaos..."

  ...(;Д｀)(;Д｀)...

  "The eclipse?" Liu Xie covered it with his hand, squinted his eyes, and looked at the particularly bright area in the dark sky, "Where is Tai Shiling?"

As early as in ancient times, the sun was the object of ancestors’ worship and dependence. People were used to the rising and setting of the sun, but sometimes it would suddenly disappear during the day, which caused people’s panic and speculation. When there was no relevant knowledge, many Things can only be attributed to the gods.

  Solar eclipse, a relatively rare astronomical phenomenon, is more likely to cause the ancients to panic than any strong wind and heavy rain. No matter in the east or in the west, the cognition of the sun is basically the same, and many people think that the sun is the beginning of everything, so when the sun is gradually disappearing, most places think it is a bad omen, and It's still a big one, at least D-level or above...

Under the Jiuqing Taichang in the Han Dynasty, there was Taishi Ling, who was in charge of drafting documents, instructing princes and officials, recording historical events, compiling historical books, and managing national classics, astronomical calendar, sacrifices, etc., and had many responsibilities. Gradually separated, there is the official position of Qin Tianjian.

The Han Dynasty believed that there was an emperor in heaven, and a **** with will and personality in the sky. The emperor ruled the world. During the process of domination, the emperor often gave omens and warnings to the world through changes in astrology. One of the warnings, if you don't pay attention to it, there may be punitive measures such as floods, earthquakes and plagues soon...

  Therefore, there is naturally a whole set of countermeasures for solar eclipses.

When the court finds a solar eclipse, Taishi Ling must calculate the auspicious position according to the calendar, and then the emperor will bring all the officials to burn incense and pray, and offer sacrifices to the sky, so that the emperor can feel the sincerity of reforming, and the sun will naturally be restored. Give back to the world...

Normally, God usually does not give such warnings, so generally speaking, the official positions in charge of astronomy are quite idle, so in history, there have been several unlucky guys who have accidents at such times, and the emperor will not find them when they are looking for them. I was on duty, and then I found it in restaurants and at home, and immediately lost my head...

   This time, Taishi Ling Wang Li happened to be there, so he hurried over.

"Your Majesty, since last spring, Taibai has violated the town, and the star is in the bullfight. There have been signs of this. Today, Yinghuo is retrograde and needs to guard the sun. It will not be a crime." Wang Li stood in the dark, cupped his hands and talked, It seems to indicate that the old man has already said this matter, pointed it out a long time ago, there has been an early warning, and what happened a long time ago, and then these guys still don’t believe it, look, it’s efficacious now, is it detailed?

   "Today's omen, what's the matter?" Liu Xie stared at Wang Li and asked.

   "This..." Wang Li tilted his eyes.

   "I am in the palace, and I don't want to do anything, big or small..." Liu Xie said slowly, "I don't know why the heavens have warned me. Ai Qing may as well speak up!"

  Wang Li lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment and said: "This is a warning from the heavens to His Majesty... As for what is going on... It is the dispute between the Han Dynasty and the flames of war in all directions..."

   "Ha!" Liu Xie laughed angrily, and said, "If a certain abdicates immediately, can the Quartet decide?!"

   "This..." Wang Li didn't dare to answer.

   "Heaven is warning you this time," Liu Xie took a step forward, and said, "Is it the warning to me, or the warning to the minister?"

  Wang Li bowed his head and remained silent.

   "Ai Qing..."

  Liu Xie was still waiting to persecute, but he heard someone in the shadows answering: "What about your majesty? What about your ministers? The world is in such chaos, can your majesty still not see clearly?"

   "Who?!" Liu Xie turned his head, saw a familiar figure, frowned, and said coldly, "Cao Sikong...why did no one report?"

  Cao Cao smiled slightly, ignored Liu Xie's boring question, and walked forward.

"In the winter and October of the eighth year of Yongping, there was an eclipse of the sun. There was an imperial edict saying, 'I will always think of Juejue, and I will give it to one person. The group secretary Mianxiu's ministry is very outspoken', so those who are in power are all sealed. , outspoken about gains and losses. On the overview chapter, deeply self-blaming, it was issued to all officials, and the edict said, "What the group of bureaucrats say is my fault. People's grievances cannot be justified, and officials cannot be restrained; but light use of manpower, Repairing the palace, going in and out without restraint, excessive joy and anger, always looking at the former warning, terrified and fearful'..." Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie, and said proudly, "Therefore, there is a rule of Ming Zhang, and the world is prosperous! Your Majesty will ask now To blame it, to inquire about its last branch, isn’t it putting the cart before the horse?”

   "Sikong's meaning..." Liu Xie gritted his teeth and asked, "Is this my fault?"

  Cao Cao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you can think for yourself..."

Mr. Liu Xie couldn't help it, broke out, pointed at Cao Cao and scolded: "I am in the deep palace, and the affairs I deal with, no matter how big or small, are all determined by the foreign court! If you want to know it, I will know it. If you want me to I don’t know, I can’t see it! There are so many things in the world, I can’t speak out from the gate of the palace, and the edicts can’t be carried out in the world! There is nothing in the world that I can solve, and all the crimes of the world are borne by me alone! Huh?"

Cao Cao listened and watched quietly, and when Liu Xie had finished speaking, he sighed slightly and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty was born in the noble family of an emperor, your ministers were born in the family of eunuchs, and the people of the world were born in the grasslands." Time... born to be unfair, what is the way of heaven? If your majesty does not want to take this policy, you can also..."

   Liu Xie stared at Cao Cao and said, "How are you doing?"

  Cao Cao smiled and waved back.

  The world was dark, and many torches had to be lit in the palace to provide temporary lighting, and shadows were shaking in all directions.

  After Cao Cao beckoned, soldiers rushed in from the outside. A man with disheveled hair and crooked robes was very miserable. Liu Xie took a look and recognized...

  "Sinong!" Liu Xie glared at him, "What is the crime of Da Sinog? Why are you arrested?!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Save me..." Da Si Nong Guo Dan grabbed the ground with his head and howled, "Your Majesty is wronged... I don't know why, Sikong led the troops to the door, and **** the minister without distinguishing between black and white. ...Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Make decisions for your servants..."

"I don't know what crime?" Cao Cao sneered, turned to Guo Dan and said, "As a great farmer, you don't promote farming, don't do water conservancy, don't build city walls, but instead steal and sell public treasuries, take money privately, and make noise in the market. Falsely raising the price of grain, so that inside and outside Xu County, Dou grain sells for tens of thousands of dollars! Hundreds of officials in the city can only survive by collecting woodcutters! Countless people starved to death! Didn’t you do this? Is it not a crime?”

   "This, this... no, no, this is more than..."

  Guo Dan was still waiting to distinguish, but he heard Cao Cao yell: "Those who do evil, wait for sophistry! Come on! Thirty slaps!"

   Immediately, a soldier responded loudly, then took a step forward and swung his palm, slapping Guo Dan on the face. The soldiers who followed Cao Cao were basically carefully selected and majestic soldiers, with big arms, thick waist, thick skin and thick flesh, and they only obeyed Cao Cao's orders. Dan immediately flew with blood and flesh, and when all thirty blows were finished, Guo Dan's cheeks were already swollen and his teeth were knocked out several times. It was screaming, and then staring at Liu Xie...

  Liu Xie didn't know what to say for a while, and didn't have any ideas, but just looked at everything in front of him with some numbness.

   Playing well?

  Then it is tantamount to pushing everything on Guo Dan, and naturally he is not at fault, so he doesn't have to bear the so-called warning signs from heaven...

   Or does it mean a typo?

  So at this stage, the people's livelihood is sad and the price is surging. Wouldn't it be the crime of falling on yourself? But isn't it forced to do such a thing?

  Cao Cao stood quietly aside for a long time, seeing that Liu Xie was silent, he turned his head and said, "Take him down..."

   "Ah, ah, ah..."

  Guo Dan's face was so swollen that he couldn't speak. While dripping blood, he wailed at Liu Xie, and was about to be dragged away...

   "Wait a minute!" Liu Xie gritted his teeth and said, "This is my affirmation! If there is a crime, I will also share it! I... I am guilty of myself..."

  Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, prostrated himself on the ground, "Your Majesty... Shengming..."

  ...(=ω=)σ~~(T﹏T)...

   In the first year of Taixing, in May, the sun is dark. When the drums are played, the stingy husband runs away, and the common people go away.

   His Majesty ordered:

   "When the world is pardoned and Yuan Taixing is changed, when this sign is met, it should be in the country. The so-called dedication to ZTE must be sincere; it should be self-respecting and repentant."

"Since I took over, I have repeatedly lost the ancestral temple. The disaster was caused by the soldiers, and the people suffered and the soldiers mourned. It is really my fault. I should think of my virtues, think of my guilt and regret my failure, and return to the future. Therefore, I will declare righteousness to make up for natural disasters. "

"Although I dare not be negligent, I have lived in a deep palace for a long time. I am darker than Jingguo and blunt than farming. I don't care about the labor of conquering and conquering. I don't understand the suffering of the people. I can't be rewarded. I can't improve the people's sentiments. Yep. Now the four directions are booming, recruiting troops for thousands of miles, furnishing chariots and horses, far and near, travelling, living and sending off, and the common people are exhausted, or there are repeated battles in one month, or they are not disarmed for years, resulting in a lack of worshipers and family members. It is exhausted, the head of Guizhou is displaced, the labor is endless, Zhuanghe is desolate, the town is empty and the hills are ruins, and the people are cut off."

"If today is a warning sign, the Nine Temples are shocked, and my heart is also regretful. I am tired of my ancestors, and I am sad and ashamed, and my sin is real. If I fall into the cold valley, I will not be able to sleep peacefully. The counties and counties in the world should be guarded Fanwei, Jingping area, restore agriculture and mulberry, and benefit the people, miscellaneous money and customs tax, should be reduced or exempted. Don't lose your way and suffer from disasters!"

   "Since the amnesty order has been issued, it should be widely distributed in the counties and counties, and it should be made clear. I also invite talents from all over the world to give advice and suggestions, so as to stabilize the country, calm the Quartet, and Taixing the Han family!"
