1492 Persuasion of the government and the opposition
Just a few days after Jingzhou Assassin Shi Yu entered Luo, the number of people on all sides of Luoyang also surged, and all sides of the country under the rule of Xingtai either came in person, or sent messengers, and at the same time, the villagers on all sides did not want to miss the upcoming event, and all those who had the conditions went to Luoyang day and night.
At the same time, the second batch of prisoners of the remnants of the Hebei State also arrived in Luoyang, which directly detonated the feelings of the people of Heluo. In the past few decades, the land of Zhuxia can be said to have suffered greatly from the abuse of Hulu, especially the current residents of Heluo, almost all of whom have left their hometowns on all sides, and have their own bitter hatred for the Hu.
Previously, Shi Hu, the lord of the Qiang, was directly sentenced to death in Xindu, Hebei, and the people were full of grievances and did not have a specific target to vent. This time, among the captives of the Kingdom of Qiang who were escorted into Luo, in addition to some powerful people and generals of the Kingdom of Qiang, there were also the queen of the Kingdom of Liu, the prince of the Kingdom of Shishi.
As the news spread, a large number of Heluo people gathered in Mengjin, waiting for the arrival of this group of thieves from the Qianguo Kingdom who had abused Zhuxia for many years. When the big ship transporting the prisoners of war was about to arrive at the Mengjin wharf, the anger of the people suddenly vented, and many people were full of resentment and threw earth and rocks at the prisoners of war who were escorted ashore, and several generals were stoned to death on the spot!
Although Xingtai had made adequate preparations, he still underestimated the people's hatred for these remnants of the kingdom, and in order to avoid further fanaticism in the situation, he immediately suspended the escort of the captives ashore. And Xingtai Youji also immediately rushed to Mengjin, and directly began the trial and torture of these prisoners of war on the big ship, and one by one the prisoners of the Qiang State were pulled out of the cabin under the condition that the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and the heads of the prisoners were among them.
If this craze lasted for three whole days, the enthusiasm of the people continued unabated, and the surrounding area of Mengjin was noisy day and night, and the fierce crowd resounded between the heavens and the earth, so that the young prince Shi Shi of the Kingdom of Qian did not even wait for the trial, and he was scared to death under the surging people's feelings!
After the execution of this group of prisoners of war, the enthusiasm of the people has not cooled, and even because many people from afar have rushed to hear the news, which makes the crowd even more noisy, but there are no more prisoners on the ship for trial and beheading, so they can watch the execution and vent their anger, and the next batch of prisoners will probably need to wait until the next year to arrive in Luoyang.
Moreover, looking at this turbulent situation, Xingtai probably did not dare to continue to escort prisoners of war to Luoyang, and there was a greater chance that they would be executed on the spot.
These people gathered on the south bank of the river, unable to vent their enthusiasm, simply went straight to Luoyang, shouting the slogan of "Liang Wang Luji", wanting to take advantage of this momentum and persuade everyone to advance.
It was in this atmosphere that the officers and soldiers of the Shengwu Army who returned to the capital all the way set off from Mengjin, and there was no lack of banner advocacy in the team, and at the same time, they did not conceal that their royal division was to escort the jade seal of the country into Luo!
When the people along the way heard the news, their emotions could not help but rise, and they regarded this as a sign of the destiny of heaven, and took the initiative to join the team of protecting the seal. Previously, Meng Jin tortured and killed prisoners of war in the Qianguo Kingdom, and there were already a lot of spectators, and then people rushed to hear the news, and the team of the seal guards also snowballed.
In the end, the whole team was so large that it directly connected the two locations of Luoyang and Mengjin, and the number of participants had already far exceeded 100,000! A large number of people have entered Luo, and the hearts of the people are turned against their backs and the destiny of heaven is clear at this moment, there is no doubt about it!
Zu Qing as the core of the seal, a few days ago secretly arrived in Mengjin, he all the way in the victory of the warriors surrounded by the side of the cart sat on the side of the cart, a few feet outside the body is placed in the heavy brocade box of the national seal, along the way to see the people worship the left, chanting and cheering, infected by this emotion, the body is also trembling can not help itself.
It is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a troubled person. If you have not experienced years of war and abuse, you will never be able to understand the pathetic meaning of this sentence. At this moment, King Liang has become the ruler of the world that everyone in the north and south looks up to, and King Liang's performance means that the Haiyan River is clear, which means that the prosperity is expected!
Every individual citizen, even if they have any demands, is humble and pitiful, and it is rare to pay attention. But when these meager wishes are stimulated and integrated, they turn into a monstrous torrent of huge waves, and anyone who dares to stop them will be crushed!
The huge team of seal guards has already arrived outside Luoyang City, Luoyang New City has been built grandly, but at this moment, the crowds of people gathered in the wild are even more spectacular. The division stationed in Luoyang is like a great enemy, lest the enthusiasm of the people be unstoppable, or it will impact the defense of Luoyang City, arrayed up and down the city, and is ready for battle.
However, although these people were enthusiastic, they did not lose their minds, they took the initiative to stay outside the moat, sat on their own seats, and allowed the soldiers of the Shengwu Army who escorted the seal of the country to leave the brigade and enter the city gate.
Under the city gate, there are Wang Chen headed by Du He and Yu Yi who are responsible for welcoming the seal, and once the teams of the two sides gather, the official handover has not yet been completed, and the people suddenly shouted in the wild: "The destiny of heaven returns to Luo, and I respectfully invite the king of Liang to perform the pole!" ”
Xingtai has also carried out this aspect of financing and foreshadowing before, after all, the national seal is heavy, and the private handover will inevitably lack public trust. But when such a huge scene was really in front of them, even Du He and other members of the stage trembled and were greatly shocked.
The shouts of the crowd never stopped, until the drums and trumpets sounded at the city gate, and then the people's voices were suppressed slightly, Du He took the stage to face the people who were sitting quietly in the mountains and fields, he held high the brocade box containing the national seal in both hands, and said loudly: "The king commanded millions of strong men in Zhuxia, crusaded against Hulu, restored Shenzhou, and the name Zhenyu was in the country, and the whole society was meritorious!" The mandate of heaven is here, the public opinion is sensitive, the fool will follow this mandate of heaven, the public opinion will be released, and there will be a strong voice to help me! ”
"Haotian has given the order, and King Liang should be a saint!"
As Duch shouted, the people in the field responded again, and the initial shouts were still chaotic, but gradually coalesced into such a unified slogan.
After that, with the shouts of the crowd, Du He stepped down from the high platform, and boarded the car with a group of stage officials, and went straight to Taicheng with the seal of the country. A group of people will pass on the seal of the country into the main hall of the forbidden garden, and then knock out, and then go to the right side of the Liang Wangfu, along the way there are a forest of guards and soldiers standing from the arch, both sides of the Luoshui are also full of people who watch the ceremony and say their fate, with their every step forward, there are cheers one after another.
When Du He and others arrived at the Liang Palace, they slowly bowed down in front of the palace, and their own attendants and ceremonial officials came forward to knock on the door to invite them in, and recited the edict of persuasion that had been drawn up.
Three edicts, the content is different, one declares that the national seal has been returned to Luo, respectfully invites King Liang to enter the palace to undertake the national weapon, sue the heavens to accept the order. One of the ministers persuaded him to invite King Liang to enter China, so as not to make the throne vacant for a long time. One recounts the deeds of King Liang's special merits, the restoration of the country, the whole society, the great achievements of the world, the mandate of heaven and the will of the people.
But it took a long time before there was a response from the palace of King Liang, to the effect that King Liang was ashamed of the world's rewards, and he did not dare to steal the throne because of his virtue, and asked the princes of Taiwan to investigate the good choice again.
According to the next compliment, at this time, Du He and the others should return to the Forbidden Garden, and after a short pause, they will go out of the city to worship the heavens, and the ceremony will last for three days, and then return to the Liang Wangfu to continue to persuade them. If this is the third, after the king of Liang went to the forbidden garden under the arch of the ministers, but before the official performance, there were five lets, and the seal was given to the five directions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and each let was a day.
The whole set of persuasion procedures, from praying for heaven to receiving orders to absorbing public opinion, coincides with the number of 95 days, and 14 days before and after will a complete set of persuasion etiquette be completed.
But the assumption is the assumption, but the actual operation has changed. Because the crowd was too turbulent, when King Liang resigned and was ordered, and Du He and others went outside the city to worship the heavens, they were actually blocked back by the massive number of people gathered outside the city!
These people, do not know the process of preparing for the ceremony, they have been looking forward to the performance of King Liang for a long time, as soon as they learned that those Taiwanese auxiliary wastes could not persuade King Liang to enter, their hearts were suddenly dissatisfied, and then they blocked the city gate, and they must achieve a satisfactory result today.
What should I do if I get rid of it?
Du He and the others, who were not only in charge of going to the heavens, were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but King Liang in the palace couldn't cry or laugh for a while when he learned that such an oolong had happened outside the city.
This set of ceremonies has been prepared for a long time, and it is naturally impossible to change it for this reason, but it is always impossible to simply admit to the people who don't know the truth that King Liang has already been impatient to ascend the throne and become emperor, and everything in front of him is just a trick to refuse and welcome.
At the scene of the suburban festival outside the city, all the ceremonial officials were also so anxious that they jumped to their feet, seeing that the auspicious time for the sacrifice was coming, but looking around the altar, in addition to the surging crowd of black pressure, where was the shadow of the princes of Taifu!
"The will of heaven and the will of the people are all of the utmost importance. Etiquette cannot be abolished, but it must be expedient, can the king personally go to the heavens to receive orders? In order, the ancient meaning still exists......"
In the end, it was Lu Chen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who stubbornly proposed, in fact, when discussing etiquette earlier, this arrangement had already been proposed, and the reason why it was denied was because the Liang Wang's expectations were too high, and there were too many people watching the ceremony at that time, and the pressure on defense was too great, so it was changed to the Taifu Zhugong to sacrifice to the heavens and ask for his life.
But when these people were discussing, they still underestimated King Liang's popularity, and now if King Liang doesn't come forward to worship the heavens and be ordered, they won't even be able to get out of the city gate!
Seeing that time is becoming less and less, everyone can only agree to this expedient change. Fortunately, there is no shortage of people in the royal division of all sides of the country to rest and recuperate recently, and there are still tens of thousands of people on standby in the old Luo military city, because it can only be urgently dispatched to the tens of thousands of royal divisions, led by the victorious army of Guiluo, Tian Jing, who is under the command of the festival, and goes straight to the suburbs to guard and defend the periphery, and at the same time, the city guards start from King Liang, and can also arrive at the scene at the auspicious time.
Then it was a busy time, Liang Wang had to make tea at home and prepare to sit and wait, but he had to hurriedly change into his uniform, enter the forbidden garden from the wall, and then board the car and go out of the city.
It wasn't until King Liang's car appeared at the city gate that the people who occupied the road showed honest and relieved smiles, and withdrew from the main road one after another, avoiding the dust on the left side of the road.
Not to mention the joy of the people's long-cherished wishes, Du He and others, who rushed to the suburban festival site after the ceremonial drive, wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, remembering that this is a warning, and when planning this kind of ceremony in the future, it is still necessary to leave enough variables, and remember not to let the people get involved too much.
The expectation is gratifying, but it is also too uncontrollable. If this kind of heart-wrenching operation comes again from time to time in the future, will the sacrifice of the country be held normally?
