The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 103 Chengdu Military Parade ([-])

Chengdu Military Parade ([-])

At this time, the sacrificial altar was surrounded by nearly a hundred imperial guards divided into three layers, with long halberds in hand, and the pitch-black armor looked extremely shocking.

When the imperial chariot was slowly pulled out from the city gate, Liu Bei had already stood up, ready to receive worship from the people of Shu Han;

The people outside the school grounds were staring at the position of the city gate and the emperor's imperial chariot. The moment it appeared; Shouting slogans.

Although the shouts of more than a hundred thousand people could not be heard across a hundred miles, they could make anyone within ten miles terrified, and the entire city of Chengdu was also caught in the echo.

Accompanied by the highest standard of etiquette of the people at this time, Liu Bei still stood on the royal chariot, his eyes were a little deep and hot, but he was still calm; the rest of the ministers after him were not so calm, especially Meng Huo and the other chiefs, who looked extremely calm at the moment consternation.

The imperial chariot arrived at the designated position in front of the altar and stopped. Liu Bei was served by two attendants and slowly got off the imperial chariot, and began to move towards the altar. Every step he took was unusually calm, and there was no sign of trouble. any disturbance
The altar was divided into two, one for worshiping the heavens and the other for ancestor worship; after performing three worships and nine kowtows, Liu Bei stepped onto the altar for offering sacrifices to the heavens, stretched out his arms, and signaled to the people outside the school grounds to "flat body" The voice was extremely low; however, the unison conveyed by more than a hundred officers and men of the Royal Forest Army around the altar seemed unusually loud and clear.

Sacrificing to heaven was a top priority in ancient times, and the emperors of all dynasties did not dare to slack off in offering sacrifices to heaven.Every year on a specific day, he leads his ministers to burn incense and pray for the prosperity of the country and the people.How could Liu Bei, who had just been enthroned as emperor, miss this opportunity to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and declare to the Lord of the Great Han;
The three pillars of high incense in the sacrificial tripod were ignited in sequence, and white smoke filled the air; a Taoist figure stepped onto the sacrificial platform, and shouted to Liu Bei's side, "Worship to the gods." The Taoist shouted in a drawn-out voice.

Following the voice of the Taoist priest, Liu Bei held the three burning incense sticks in his hand and knelt down three times facing the front.The common people outside the school grounds saw their emperor kneeling for offering sacrifices, and they also knelt down on the ground as if offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.

"Second worship to the earth gods," the Taoist priest continued to shout.

Liu Bei immediately offered the other three bunches of incense, and bowed to the left twice;

"Three worships to sacrifice ghosts" the Taoist shouted again expressionlessly.

Liu Bei put on another three bunches of incense and bowed to the right again.

Just after the end, Zhuge Liang walked towards the sacrificial altar with a roll of bamboo slips and stood on Liu Bei's left.

"The sky is so long, it has its extreme; the vast land has its end. The 400-year-old Han Dynasty ended in Cao Wei, and now it starts again in Shu Han,,,,,,

As the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven slowly fell, Liu Bei began to climb up to the altar of offering sacrifices to the ancestors. In front of this extremely formal state event, all civil servants, generals, soldiers and common people, influenced by Confucian etiquette, fell to the ground and knelt down.

Yesterday, Taichang led his subordinates to arrange the god tablets, offering vessels, and sacrifices; in front of the gods, there were a large number of offerings such as jade, silk, whole cows, whole sheep, whole pigs, wine, fruits, and dishes.On the south side of the center stone on the upper floor, there is a wish table, and the emperor's seat is set in the south of the platforms on the upper and middle floors.On the east and west sides of the south steps of the altar, the rites and music are also ready.

Liu Bei boarded the altar, and the ritual and music immediately played the "Chapter of Jiaping", and the dancers waved the "Dance of the Feather",,,,,,

After offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors, the sun was about to rise in the center the next day, and Liu Bei returned to the imperial chariot. Six horses pulled the imperial chariot and pointed the front of the chariot at the parade troops who were standing upright at this time.

The civil and military officials behind the imperial chariot are also divided into left and right sides standing on both sides of the imperial chariot, waiting for the next instructions.

Just when Liu Bei and others turned around, a black figure jumped out of the formation of soldiers and quickly approached the imperial chariot; it was only when the black figure approached that it was Zhuge Qiaokuai, the captain of the big man Yao Yao The horse gallops.

At this moment, more than a hundred thousand people's eyes were fixed on Zhuge Qiao. In fact, they didn't know who this person was, they just wanted to know what news he would convey.

"Report to Your Majesty, the whole army is ready, please give your order," Zhuge Qiao knelt on one knee and performed the military salute.

"Play music 'Hanshi'" Liu Bei said in a low voice.

"No," Zhuge Qiao replied, then turned around and made a gesture to the soldiers behind him;
In an instant, the drum beat loudly, and the colonel and colonel on the gate tower were covered by this solitary person; Meng Huo, who was standing in front of Liu Bei's imperial chariot, seemed to tremble at this moment. He was born in the jungle, how had he ever heard of this solitude? The drums of the big man, not to mention the drums belonging to the big Han army.

All the people on the city tower and outside the school grounds were deeply shocked by the sudden sound of the drum, their eyes abandoned the direction of the imperial chariot, and turned to stare at the soldiers in formation.

At this moment, the sound of the drums suddenly fell silent, but an extremely high-pitched music sounded from the 2 array. "Jiujiu big man, let's go to the country's calamity together, don't shed blood, never stop fighting! /Jujiu man, restore my country. Don't shed blood, never stop fighting!"

Fighting big fellows, go to the national crisis together, don't shed blood, don't stop fighting! / Jiujiu big man, come back to me.No bleeding, no truce!

/ There is the Shu Han in the west, rising like the sun, the hatred of the country for a hundred years, the vicissitudes of life are hard to overcome! / The world is in turmoil, how can you get Corning!Han Youruishi, who will fight for the front! "The high-pitched and deep voice, at the time of this song, seemed like a sharp weapon for killing people, so that the listeners didn't realize that the song was over; most of them were still silent in the reverie just now, and the echoes kept returning ,,,

Representatives of various counties and counties on the city tower, as well as aristocratic families, also began to dream at the moment when the music stopped; especially the sentence of going to the country together seemed to awaken the dormant ambition to serve the country in the hearts of the aristocratic families; Doing and dying without a truce has revived the desire of some ordinary people and servants to join the army and serve the country; the echo of "Hanshi" has not stopped, and the people have not yet recovered from their reverie. But the imperial chariot started to move, and with Zhuge Qiao guarding him, the imperial chariot began to walk towards the formation of soldiers.

The moment the royal chariot was moved, everyone seemed to come back to their senses and began to watch the royal chariot's progress; it was just that everything that passed through their minds just now had been remembered forever.
