Chapter 930: The Magnificent Power of Han (Fifty-Four)

Holding a two-foot-long whip, Aguhuaien stood alone in front of the altar built before the Jicheng Palace. On the square in front of him, officers and soldiers of the First Division of the Young Guards were wearing brand-new armor and holding sharp swords. The spears stood solemnly, and all the weapons were tied with a red ribbon, which represented the intention of covering up the military front. On the other side of the altar, there were envoys from various countries and specially invited people from all over the world who came to watch the ceremony. Respected people. On the thoroughfare connecting the square, soldiers stood on both sides, forming a cordon to isolate the people from the outside. Starting from last night, the people of Jicheng had been starting from late at night in order to have a good position today. We started to arrive here, and now both sides of the street were crowded with people. At a glance, it was a dense sea of ​​people.

The weather was excellent today. The sky, which had been gloomy for many days, cleared for the first time. The clouds and fog cleared for the first time. The long-lost sun jumped out from the distant horizon and sprinkled golden light on the altar, making it shine with golden light.

Aguhuaien never thought that he would appear here in this capacity. When Jiang Jiaquan told him that he would play this role on the altar, he was surprised for a long time. He, a Donghu man and a surrendered general, could actually To take on such an important task?

He would witness the rise of a new dynasty with his own eyes. Agu Huaien was very excited, and he would be a part of this new dynasty. He took a deep breath, raised his whip, and followed him With this movement, the surrounding soldiers straightened their bodies a little straighter.

The two-foot long whip was swung out, a whip flower flashed in the air, and there was a loud crack.

Agu Huai'en used all his strength to wave his two-foot-long whip in the air. After three crisp sounds, dozens of horns played at the same time under the altar, and the melodious horn sound echoed across the heaven and earth. In the middle, before the sound of the trumpet fell, the sound of drums started, followed closely by countless musical instruments playing solemn music.

In the midst of this solemn music, Gao Yuan led the officials of Zhengdong Prefecture to slowly come from the front with solemn expressions, walked to the altar and stood still. The salute officer shouted loudly: "Sacrifice to heaven and earth, worship!"

Gao Yuan led the ministers and bowed in salute. After three bows, Jiang Jiaquan slowly walked out and stood on the side of the altar. The salute officer presented the sacrificial inscription. Jiang Jiaquan slowly unfolded himself and began to read out the inscription to the heaven and earth in a measured tone.

Making sacrifices to heaven and earth is a tedious and long process. Although Gao Yuan was impatient, he had to endure such a big event no matter how impatient he was. Finally, after Jiang Jiaquan finished reciting the memorial text, he presented the three-animal sacrifice ceremony, and with the salute officer's cry Shouting "Offer incense", Gao Yuan let out a long breath. This sacrifice to heaven and earth was finally completed.

He stepped forward slowly, took three long incense sticks from the hand of the celebrant, inserted them into the bronze incense burner, and bent down deeply.

"It's done!"

Gao Yuan straightened up, and this sacrifice to heaven and earth was completed.

The so-called confession to heaven and earth is nothing more than a denunciation of the former Yan State's misconduct and corruption, and a series of crimes that caused harm to the people. It uses heaven and earth to demonstrate the rationality of the establishment of the new dynasty. This is naturally nonsense in Gao Yuan's view, but other Everyone, including Jiang Jiaquan, believes that this is an extremely important and indispensable link.

Once the memorial service to heaven and earth is over, the highlight of the day will come next. Gao Yuan will be officially crowned.

In front of the altar, in the southeast direction, the guards placed the golden chair. In front of the golden chair, there was a large case, and the imperial robe was placed on it. With a smile on his face, Jiang Jiaquan announced loudly: "The ceremony is completed, please ascend to the throne!"

Gao Yuan stepped forward slowly and stood behind the major case and in front of the golden chair. The Jiang family Quan led hundreds of civil and military officials to prostrate themselves in front of the case.

"Your Majesty, safe and sound!"

"All ministers and ministers, please stand down!" Gao Yuan raised his hands, looking at the countless civil servants and generals kneeling on the ground in front of him and the countless people prostrating themselves on the ground further away, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and for a while, the scenes were blurry. Playing a movie usually goes by in front of my eyes, from the initial fear and helplessness when I came to this world, to slowly and step by step until now, bloody battles, partings and deaths, and familiar faces from blur to clarity. , and then gradually fade away.

"Your Majesty, please crown me!" As the official Tongzan shouted, Jiang Jiaquan and Yan Shenghao stepped forward quickly, one holding up the crown and the other holding up the robe.

Putting the golden crown on Gao Yuan's head and gently tying the silk ribbon, Jiang Jiaquan took a step back and looked at Gao Yuan. At this time, he was as excited as Gao Yuan. He had been working on the weight for half his life, and when most of it was buried in the ground, he finally had to meet him. Ming Zhu can fully display what he has learned. More importantly, while assisting Gao Yuan, his doctrines have become more perfect because of Gao Yuan's constant reminders and constant additions to the policies. Until now, Jiang Jiaquan Once you are convinced that your theoretical system has been completely established, all that is left is to carry it forward, and with the strong support of a king, why worry about not being able to carry it forward?

Yan Shenghao put his robe on Gao Yuan's body, and the two of them slowly retreated in front of the ministers.

"Bow!" Tongzan official shouted loudly. Following this shout, all the civil and military officials bowed to the ground again.

A new dynasty was established, a new king was crowned, all the rituals were cumbersome and complicated, and all the ceremonies lasted for a whole day. No matter how helpless Gao Yuan was, he could only be like a puppet, letting the Tongzan official manipulate him.

Just as the coronation ceremony of Wang Guan was unfolding in the East Street, Wang Quezi's mutton offal noodle restaurant on the South Street was looking at the four or five customers in his shop from behind the counter with a suspicious look on his face. These people have been in the shop for a long time. The five people are divided into two groups. They don't seem to know each other. After eating the mutton offal noodles, they ordered a pot of strong tea and sat there quietly to drink tea.

Wang Quezi's eyes are sharp. These two groups seem to be strangers, but inadvertently, there will always be a collision of eyes. Although they will dodge when their eyes meet, Wang Quezi has been running a teahouse for many years and naturally has a way of judging people. More importantly, these people's personal The aura made Wang Quezi feel a bit eerie. These people were not ordinary people. Wang Quezi calmly moved a dagger to his right hand side.

There were almost no people on South Street today, which was a huge contrast to the hustle and bustle of the past. Most people went to East Street to watch the coronation ceremony of the new king. Even though they knew that they could not squeeze in, let alone see the new king's demeanor, as long as they could get closer, they could get a taste of the joy. In fact, Wang Quezi did not want to go, but his legs were inconvenient. If he went, he would probably ask for trouble. If he was squeezed over, it would be difficult to get up.

The street was very quiet, and this silence made Wang Quezi's hair stand on end. He felt as if some danger was approaching him. He had had this feeling when he was on the battlefield. He reached out and grasped the dagger.

Footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and a person suddenly appeared at the door. Wang Quezi almost jumped up when he saw the person standing at the door. How could he not recognize the black clothes? That was the standard uniform of the Supervisory Office.

The bodies of the four or five people in the room suddenly froze. Wang Quezi turned his eyes and saw that several people in the room reached their hands into their arms almost at the same time. He immediately reached out and grasped the sharp dagger.

Yi Bin put his hands behind his back and walked in leisurely from the door. He stared at a person near the corner of the room and smiled. Said: "Commander Di, I heard that you followed Tan Feng to Qin State and joined the Black Ice Platform. Instead of enjoying life in Xianyang, why did you run back to Jicheng? Are you here to congratulate my king on his official coronation today? But since you are here, you should also go to our Supervisory Office. Why are you hiding here?"

One of the two people near the table in the corner of the room slowly stood up, stretched out his hand from his arms, and a short knife appeared in front of Yi Bin as his hand stretched out. Almost at the same time, the five people in the room stood up at the same time and showed their weapons.

"What? Commander Di, are you going to fight a trapped beast? Since I am here, do you think you still have a chance of winning?" Yi Bin chuckled. Smiling.

"Of course there is no chance of winning, but since we are here, we must give Gao Yuan a little gift!" Di Choufei took a deep breath: "The thief who stole the country and usurped the throne should be punished by everyone."

Yi Bin laughed loudly, "Stealing the country and usurping the throne? May I ask whose country was stolen and whose throne was usurped? Are you talking about Ji Ling? Commander Di, I wonder what position you hold in Qin now?"

Di Choufei's face turned red and white for a while, and after a while, he suddenly jumped up and pounced on Yi Bin, and shouted loudly: "Send the signal!"

With a bang, Yi Bin drew out the sword at his waist like lightning, blocked Di Choufei's attack, and stepped back a few steps. With the sound of the collision of weapons, he came out from the door Dozens of black-clad supervisory guards rushed in and rushed towards the people in the house without saying a word.

Di Choufei retreated quickly. Almost at the same time, one of his companions took out a whistle from his arms and put it in his mouth. With a puff of his mouth, the extremely sharp whistle sounded far away.

As soon as the whistle sounded, thick smoke suddenly rose from several places on South Street. Di Choufei laughed, "Yi Bin, this is the gift from our Lord Tan to Gao Yuan. When Gao Yuan escaped from Jicheng, he burned down a street in Jicheng. Today, he is a traitor and declared himself king, so we will also give him a big fire to cheer him up."

Yi Bin snorted coldly, "Di Choufei, it's too early for you to be happy. Since I Appearing here means that your conspiracy has completely failed. Want to burn down Jicheng? Hehe, dream on!"

The six or seven places on South Street where thick smoke was rising were just a burst of thick smoke. When the wind blew, the smoke dissipated and the blue sky reappeared.

Di Choufei looked at the smoke that was gradually dissipating in the air in despair, and then looked at his men who were already struggling. He shouted angrily, flipped over, and fell behind the counter. He grabbed a hostage and might have a chance to escape.

As soon as he fell into the counter, he reached out to grab the boss who seemed to be petrified. When the boss came to kill them before, he had already seen that this man was a cripple.

As soon as his hand was stretched out , there was a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen. He looked down in shock. A dagger was deeply inserted into his belly.

"You son of a bitch, you want to use me as a shield? I have killed more people on the battlefield than you!" Wang Quezi cursed and looked fierce. At this moment, he no longer had the kind smile on his face when he was delivering noodles to people. With a twist of his wrist, the dagger was pulled out. Di Choufei screamed, his eyes wide open, and he fell backwards.

Carrying the dagger, Wang Quezi walked out with a limp. There was also a noisy sound on the street. Teams of supervisory guards appeared from nowhere. Among them were spies who had sneaked into Jicheng and were tied up.

On this day, while the coronation ceremony was being held in front of the palace on East Street, the Supervisory Council mobilized in large numbers and captured hundreds of spies from the former Yanling Guards who were hiding in Jicheng. (To be continued)
