Chapter 58 Wu Chengding of the Northern and Southern Han dynasties and the four princes expanded their territory 5
When a hundred officials in Jiaozhou heard that Liu Xie had a son who was not dead, he was saved by Nan Ye. Some of them suddenly realized and sighed that Nan Ye's teacher was uncertain. Some are skeptical and don't know whether this story is true or not. Others secretly picked up their big fingers and thought that Nan Ye had the opportunity to kill and establish himself as emperor, but he wanted to save Liu Xie's son and make him emperor, which is worthy of being the lord of benevolence and righteousness.
Nan Ye didn't care how the officials thought about it, and said directly to a group of Wen Wu: "Cao Pi usurped and forced the former emperor to give up and win the world. It's not good to say that his name is not right, so there won't much time to return to the throne. Cao Pi abdiced and should have returned the throne to the former emperor, but the previous emperor died without blessing, and the son of the former emperor should have inherited the Han Dynasty. Therefore, I want to appoint Liu Yi, the son of the former emperor, as emperor. What do you think?
Guo Jia and Dian Wei Yiwen Yiwu took the lead and said, "The national teacher is wise! I am willing to follow the decree of the national teacher!"
When the officials saw these two come out, they realized that Nan Ye had a plan for a long time. Several important ministers who accompanied the army must all know about it, but they didn't say it. This is consistent with what Guo Jia said, that is, Nan Ye concealed the matter in order to protect Liu Yi's safety. Since Nan Ye and a group of important ministers all agreed, the officials did not say much and seconded.
Nan Ye ordered people to choose a good day, build an altar in the southern suburbs, and hold an succession ceremony. Compared with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, Nan Ye's financial, material and human resources are much stronger. The ceremony was unprecedented, and hundreds of thousands of people came to watch the ceremony. Nan Ye led Nan Yi, his son, alias Liu Yi, to the Quqiu altar, read the sacrificial text and worship heaven and earth.
Six-year-old Nanyi, wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown, stood honestly beside Nanye and followed his father to worship heaven and earth and ancestors. Although he still doesn't quite understand what it means to be an emperor and why he changed his name to Liu Yi, he knows that listening to his parents is a good child and cooperates with Nan Ye's actions very much.
Nan Ye was very satisfied with his youngest son's performance. He couldn't help but dislike such a clever and obedient child. At this time, Nan Ye felt that Nan Ye was much better than his ideal brothers. In fact, Nan Ye's son's unwillingness to be emperor is also related to his father's education. Nan Ye himself is disgusted with the imperial power and imperceptibly affects the next generation.
When the ceremony was completed, Nan Ye and Nan Yi turned to face the officials and people under the altar. The people under the altar are divided into three layers. The nearest floor is the civil and military officials, the outer floor is the colorful Jiaozhou army, and the outermost layer is the dense people. Although there were hundreds of thousands of people under the altar, everyone was silent and gathered their awe on Nanye and Nanyi.
Nanyi has never seen so many people. It is inevitable that he has stage fright. His little hand tightly grasps his father's hand and shows full dependence. Nan Ye lowered his head to encourage his son with a smile, and then announced, "The sacrifice has been completed, and the new king has ascended the throne. Salute and play the national anthem!"
When the officials heard the words, they bowed and saluted three times in a row. The soldiers saluted together. Hundreds of thousands of people knelt down under the black pressure. Long live the mountain. After the ceremony, the musicians played music, and the officials and soldiers sang in unison: "The great man stood in the universe, and Huaxu came from the top of Kunlun, the rivers and lakes were vast, the science avenue opened a new sky, and the national fortune lasted for hundreds of millions of years..."
The simple lyrics are popular and catchy, and the tune is high and smooth. Hundreds of officials and soldiers only sang once, and then the people followed him to hum for the second time. When the country sang for the third time, hundreds of thousands of people were singing together under the altar, and the song was shocking for a moment.
After the national song, Nan Ye announced again: "Raising the national flag!"
With Nan Ye's order, the people saw a hundred honor guard come out of the soldiers. The soldiers in the guard of honor were all tall and low, energetic, escorting a flag. After the honor guard circled around the altar, they came under the flagpole in the altar and slowly raised the flag. When the flag flutters in the wind, the people in the distance can see the style of the national flag.
The national flag is composed of red, yellow and blue, with yellow as the background, which means the descendants of Yan and Huang. The middle of the national flag is the red word "Han" representing the Han Dynasty. A blue dragon circled around the scarlet letter in the center, representing the blue sky, the blue sea and the divine dragon all protect the big man. When the people saw this flag, they shouted long live again.
After the flag-raising ceremony, Nan Ye ordered someone to give the jade seal to Nanyi, and then announced: "The military parade begins!"
A team of soldiers who had already prepared lined up in a neat phalanx, separated from the large group of people on the arched altar, and walked through the altar in turn to start the military parade. The mage's personal defense, trapped camp, Tengjia army, Jiaozhou cavalry, Tiefutu, abducted horses, Yuanrong crossbow soldiers, Jiaozhou navy, Wudang Flying Army, Thunderbolt convoy... More than a dozen square arrays, soldiers with different equipment and characteristics were dazzling, and everyone present intuitively realized the incomparable power of the Jiaozhou army.
Everyone is proud of this magnificent army, and even the young Nanyi is no exception, and his little face turns red with excitement. Seeing that the phalanx began to walk through the altar, Nan Ye whispered to Nan Yi, "It's time for you to talk. Do you remember what to say?"
Nan Yi nodded to Nan Ye, and then shouted with his strength, "Hang Han generals!"
When the marching phalanx heard this sound, the soldiers immediately looked at Nan Ye and his son on the altar. While saluted, they responded loudly, "Hang Long live His Majesty!"
Nan Yi was even more excited when he heard the response, and then shouted, "Thank you for your hard work!"
The soldiers also roared with great strength: "Fight for the peace of the people!"
The people who came to watch the ceremony immediately cheered when they heard such an exciting slogan and shouted one after another, "Hung the Han soldiers!" Long live Your Majesty!" Long live the Guanghua National Teacher!" ......
Sima Bai looked up at Nan Ye on the altar under the altar, listening to the cheers in his ear, and could not say anything in his heart. From her childhood, she knew that her family had died at the hands of Nanye and was thinking about revenge on Nanye. However, when she saw her enemy for the first time today, there was a trace of confusion in her heart, and she couldn't help thinking of Sima Yi's words before leaving.
"Is it that what Nanye has done is right for the people of the world?" Sima Bai couldn't help but have doubts in her heart, but then she denied it in her heart: "What if he is kind to the people of the world? He has revenge on me, so I should take revenge. Right or wrong doesn't matter." Thinking of this, Sima Bai's eyes became firm again.
Nan Ye didn't notice that there was a beautiful assassin under the altar, and even if he noticed Nan Ye, he wouldn't care. There are many people in the world who want Nan Ye's life. There are not 8,000 assassins who come to assassinate him every year, but there are Dian Wei, Zhou Cang and the mage's personal guards, and no matter how many assassins there are, they are in vain.
