Chapter 273: Breaking the Iron Law and Claiming the Throne (5)

The twelfth year of Jian'an - spring, the first day of the first month, also known as 'Yuanshuo Day', the most grand, the most festive, and the most auspicious day of the year, represents the cycle of renewal, Vientiane renewal, and it is also the day of the traitorous king!

In the early morning, the four city gates of Xuchang opened, and tens of thousands of ironclad soldiers poured in, holding sharp blades, and deployed in the streets and alleys, traffic arteries, the imperial city, the government office, and Taicang...... It is also a key object of protection, and it is strictly forbidden for any unrelated person to approach.

Three days ago, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Hou Mansion issued an order at the same time: 'Martial law is imposed within 200 miles near Xuchang City, all checkpoints and rivers are closed, the garrison is not allowed to move at will, the people are not allowed to walk at will, and those who violate the order will be punished for the crime of rebellion - no mercy will be given!'

At two o'clock, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion and respectfully invited the Prime Minister to go out of the city and go to the Yingshui River to hold a ceremony to seal the king!

"Woo! --Woo! Woo! ”

"Ding! --Bite! Bite! ”

…………

Chen, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion is wide open, in the melodious drum music, a team goes out in a mighty way, there is the secretary of state in front of the citation, and there are generals in the back, holding high the apricot yellow 'Cao' word banner...... There are hundreds of accompanying cars, and there are thousands of guards!

In the middle of the procession, there are three six-horse golden root chariots, which are only qualified to be used by the Son of Heaven, and the specifications, colors, and decorations are ...... Even the horses were exactly the same, and Cao Cao was in one of them, and the purpose of this was naturally to prevent the assassins from sneaking up.

Hundreds of years ago, the First Emperor paraded to Bolangsha, relying on this method, he escaped the thunderous blow of the assassins, but the accompanying auxiliary car was smashed, so the future generations of the Son of Heaven will prepare three identical Jingen cars!

As for Cao Cao in that car, it is the biggest secret of this trip, only a few henchmen know, and the rest are not allowed to ask, today is certainly a happy day, but it is also the most dangerous moment, the Han family diehards, local princes, and scholars are ...... I don't know how many people want to stop the traitor from becoming king, and the most direct way is to assassinate!

Wang Yuan, Qingji, Han puppet, Jin Contempt...... How many heroes and heroes in history have never fallen on the court or on the battlefield, but they have fallen into the hands of assassins, even Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, if it were not for the poor quality of the dragon robe and the speed of the two legs, it would be difficult to escape Jing Ke's sharp dagger!

Just imagine, if on the day of Cao Cao's crowning of the king, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, military and civilians, etc., there would be two corpses and five steps of blood...... The blow to the Cao Ying Group was three points worse than the defeat of Wulin!

Therefore, the most important thing in today's ceremony is not etiquette, not liveliness, and weather conditions...... Instead, it is to prevent assassins from sabotage, and such an important matter is naturally handed over to someone with extremely strong ability.

"All the 30,000 Xuanjia iron horsemen are dispatched, from the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the bank of Yingshui, and I will use men and horses to form a protective wall, and not a single fly can be put in!"

"Trapping the camp, the Danyang soldiers are stationed in the arsenal, today the Chinese military and important ministers are exhausted, the emptiness in the city is too great, we must beware of someone making trouble, especially protect the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Hou ......Mansion."

Xiao Yi held the sword in his hand and mounted the ink smoke horse, tightly guarding the three golden root cars, and at the same time commanding his men and horses to closely defend along the way, not only afraid that an assassin would jump out, but also worried about something happening in the city!

Recently, the defenders everywhere have been checking day and night, and hundreds of people have been captured only by carrying blades and coming from unknown sources, which can't help but make Xiao Yi very worried, is there any fish that have slipped through the net?

Behind the team, there are dozens of jade chariots, silver vans, and tonghao cars, which are sitting Mrs. Bian, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi brothers, as well as the sons, misses, and concubines of the Prime Minister's Mansion...... That's hundreds!

Today, Cao Cao held a ceremony to crown the king, and at the same time canonized the queen of Wei and the prince of Wei...... Their safety is equally important, especially the latter-Cao Pi, who not only has to defend against assassins on the outside, but also against thieves inside, so let the general-Xu Huang be in the same car with him to protect his safety!

Cao Jie with her two sons, also in the convoy of the Prime Minister's Mansion, protected by a team of women's soldiers, as the daughter of the traitorous male, she will be canonized as the county lord, Tang Muyi, who owns the land of a county, the location has been chosen in advance, it is Youzhou-Dai County!

In this way, the eleven counties of Youzhou, five of which have been returned to the Marquis of Wuchou, have completely become the private territory of the Xiao family, even if they do nothing in the future, it will be enough to eat for seven or eight generations.

The procession went all the way out of the city gate, crossed the pontoon bridge, and circled the acropolis...... Finally, at three o'clock in the morning, successfully arrived at the bank of Yingshui, Yingshui is more than 1,200 miles long, flowing through dozens of counties and counties in the Central Plains, and it is the most important tributary of the Huai River!

There is a Qianyang Mountain on the north bank of Yingshui - the peaks and peaks are undulating, continuous, one of the mountains is close to the water's edge, looking like a green dragon from afar, is poking its head into the river to absorb water, so it is named: 'Longshou Slope!' ’

In line with the principle of saving manpower, material resources, financial resources, and beautiful and majestic, the Fengwang platform is set on the top of the Longshou slope, makes full use of the terrain, is about 150 zhang high, there are bluestone steps to connect up and down, and the five-color flags are planted all over the way......

There is an altar at the top of the mountain, and a bronze giant tripod is placed in the middle, and the white and yellow Yue and ceremonial instruments are displayed around...... There is also a sun, moon, and stars three Chen Daxu flag, this is the flag of the emperor of the Son of Heaven, for more than 400 years in the Han Dynasty, only Liang Xiaowang - Liu Wu, Jiangdu Wang - Liu Fei has used, Cao Cao is the third person to receive this honor.

"Woo! --Woo! Woo! ”

"The Prime Minister--Gong covers the universe, and there is no end to it!"

…………

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu led tens of thousands of tigers and leopards to ride, stationed on the Longshou slope, five steps and a post, ten steps and a sentry, the defense was like an iron bucket, and tens of thousands of people gathered under the slope, there were celebrities, elders and talents from all over the country...... They were all specially invited to watch the ceremony!

Seeing the convoy of the Prime Minister's Mansion appear, the drums rumbled, the horns sounded, countless flags flew back and forth, and the cheers of the soldiers and the people soared into the sky......

The task of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is to ensure the safety along the way, and the security near Longshou Slope is handed over to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and when the two are handed over, it is also the most dangerous moment, and there are many spectators around, Xiao Yi can't help but increase his vigilance and clench the sword in his hand......

"Heaven punishes Cao thief, revive the Han Dynasty! --Heaven punishes Cao thief, revive the Han Dynasty! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! --Kill! ”

"It's not good to have assassins, protect the safety of the Prime Minister!"

…………

As a result, the convoy had just arrived at the stage, and from the crowd of onlookers nearby, more than a dozen assassins suddenly rushed out, all dressed as ordinary people, first firing several arrows at the Jin Gen car, and then brandishing swords to kill him......

The convoy was escorted by tigers and leopards, so how could the assassins rush over and immediately come forward to fight them, and for a while the swords and guns flashed, and the screams were repeated, and soon someone died on the spot......

And Xiao Yi's first reaction was not to step forward to fight with the assassins, but to lead people to guard a golden root car behind him, and at the same time be vigilant against the nearby crowd......

"Ahh …… Yikes! ”

And it turns out that no matter how smart a person is, there are times when he miscalculates, Xiao Yi guessed wrong this time, a total of 14 assassins, 9 were killed on the spot, 5 were captured, and only 4 people were injured in the tiger and leopard riders!

And in the whole process, there was only a slight commotion in the surrounding crowd, squeezing down some old and weak, scaring some children, and stepping on a hundred and ten boots...... The situation was controlled by the defenders, and no new assassins appeared, let alone a killer!

The corpses of the assassins were carried away, the blood stains were cleaned, the captives were taken down for interrogation, and the situation was completely calm...... Xiao Yi is also more and more puzzled?

What is the situation, more than a dozen people with mediocre martial arts and mediocre courage dare to assassinate the prime minister, isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

There was no careful planning, no fierce dead soldiers, and the arrows shot were ordinary goods, and even the carriage of the Jingen car had not been drilled through, and poison had not been applied to it...... Is this a joke?

"The last generals are not good for protection, please condemn the prime minister!"

"Let the Prime Minister be frightened, I deserve to die for my crimes!"

After the situation calmed down, the civil and military ministers hugged him and bowed to the third Jingen car, since the assassination occurred, Da Sima guarded the car tightly, indicating that the prime minister was inside.

But the strange thing is that Cao Cao didn't come out, and he didn't respond a word, and now the ministers were panicking, could it be that when they were panicking just now, another assassin approached Jin Genche, and the prime minister was already ......

"Haha--you don't need to panic, this prime minister is safe and sound!"

"Prime Minister--Heaven forbids, all evils will not invade!"

…………

No one expected that the jade chariot door behind it opened, and Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian walked out one after another, and waved to the people around them to show that they were all safe!

It turned out that before the convoy set off, Cao Cao hid in the jade chariot, and the three golden root cars in front were empty, just to attract assassins - the Son of Heaven travels, two virtual and one real, and the traitorous male travels, all three are empty!

This is the character of the traitorous male, not to mention the unpredictable behavior, but only the reality, not the face, as long as it can be achieved safely, wearing the crown of the king, what does it matter if he sits in the woman's car?
