(Recommended reading: According to the ancient rites, the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is divided into 'first offering, sub-offering, and final offering', which are held by the identity and its honorable person, and the 'first offering' is naturally the son of heaven of the Han family, which no one can replace, and the 'sub-offering' generally must be a member of the royal family to serve, but Liu Xie is too young, and there is neither a queen, a prince, nor a brother, a nephew, so the royal sister ~ Princess Haiyan will hold the sub-offering!

"Please princess Chitose ascend the altar and sacrifice to the sky!"

With the words of the celebrant officer, the Han princess was dressed in a costume, mopping the floor in a long skirt, and with the support of the maid Lingling, she slowly climbed to the top of the altar, came to the burning giant ding, and knelt down on her knees to salute.

"Your Highness, respect the heavens!" According to the ancient rites, 'Yaxian' is also a gift to the heavens, and the maid Lingling took out a piece of dragon and phoenix jade wall that had been prepared a long time ago from her arms and handed it over.

Jade is the essence of the mountains, the spirit of heaven and earth, and can communicate with ghosts and gods, and it is the most suitable to pay tribute to the 'Emperor Hao'.

"No need!" Princess Haiyan shook her head slightly, her eyes slowly changed from confusion to firmness, and suddenly with a flip of her wrist, she pulled out a gold-handled scimitar from under her dress, and then brushed a strand of green silk of her own, cut it with a knife, and threw it into the burning giant ding.

The body is skinned, and the parents are honored by God, so as to show the most sincerity, not to mention that this is still a princess's green silk?

The green silk is cut, and the troubles are also broken!

Put away the golden knife, Princess Haiyan palmed her hands to the sky, closed her eyes slightly, and began to pray silently in her heart, "Heaven bless, the Han family and the country are endless, bless the emperor's brother to grow up safely, no disasters and no difficulties, and enjoy longevity, if so, then all kinds of sins will be added to me~~~"

"Your Highness is sincere, and the heavens will bless you." The maid Lingling also knelt down and meditated silently, her little face was flushed, and it must be a shameful joy to come and pray!

"Hehe, I wish it were!"

After the gift, Princess Haiyan slowly retreated from the altar with the support of Lingling, but her expression was a little sad, her eyes swept over the mighty figure in armor not far away, and finally just a wry smile.

The next step is the 'final offering', because there is no one for the royal family, like Liu Bei's 'cheap imperial uncle', he is not qualified and has no courage to go to this altar of heaven, so he has to recommend it among the hundred officials in the court, according to the dignity and humility, the head of the hundred officials is ~~ Prime Minister Cao Cao!

Cao Cao also wore a black and gold wide dress today, wearing a high crown, holding a two-foot jade gui, his expression was cold, his slender eyes were slightly closed, and his arms were bulging high, and he didn't know what good things were hidden.

"Xiao Lang, go to the altar with the old man to worship the sky!" Hearing the celebrant officer's words, Cao Cao did not rush to take a step, but beckoned to Xiao Yi who was not far away.

"Wow! ……”

There was a low uproar among the hundred officials, some people were envious, some people were jealous, and some people looked incredible, they could follow the altar to worship the heavens, and those who were not henchmen could not get this glory, Cao Cao didn't even bring his own son, but he wanted to summon Xiao Yi, this is a clear declaration to everyone, "Xiao Yi is the old man's first confidant, and he is unparalleled!" ”

"No!"

Xiao Yi shook the armor on his body, held the sword, and stepped to the position of Cao Cao's side, escorting him all the way to the altar in the eyes of everyone.

As with the previous procedure, facing the east, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, saluting Emperor Tianhao, and then preparing to offer sacrifices, Xiao Yi had already noticed Cao Cao's slightly bulging mind, and had been guessing what treasure was hidden inside, not only him, but also the gold-armored warriors standing around the altar, and the civil and military officials under the altar, all stretched their necks and widened their eyes, wanting to see what precious gifts this traitor had prepared~~

"Colorful jade wall? Millennial pearls? Bronze objects? Or maybe it's a rare fetish......"

There are also some malicious speculations, thinking that Cao Cao may cut off his hair, cut his flesh, cut his fingers, and sacrifice his flesh and blood to the sky, of course, he may be afraid of pain and reluctant to cut his own flesh, it doesn't matter, isn't there a Xiao Yi on the side, this guy is strong, rough skin and thick meat, just right~~~

In the midst of all the attention, Cao Cao indifferently took out a yellow cloth bag from his arms, opened it gently, and revealed a large ball of ~~ loess inside!

"Ancient Rest?"

"The land of Tarzan?"

"The sands of the East China Sea?"

"This ,...... What kind of treasure is it? ”

……………………………………

As soon as the thing was revealed, the civil and military officials in the audience speculated one after another, no one believed that it was a ball of loess, the dignified prime minister of the Han Dynasty, in charge of thousands of horses and thousands of troops, there was no treasure at home, it was impossible to sacrifice with a handful of loess, at least it was not an ordinary loess, but everyone hadn't figured out for a while, what kind of treasure it was.

"Good boy! …… That's right, it's loess! "Xiao Yi, who was the closest, checked it three times with the sharp eye of the 'Condor Shooter', and finally determined that this is an extremely ordinary loess!

And it also exudes a moist smell, it is very likely that Cao Cao dug it up from his own garden this morning, because there are still a few residual leaves in it~~~

"Sacrifice to the heavens with a ball of loess, this kind of thing is also Cao Cao's ability, it's really not a mortal, it's weird!"

Cao Cao didn't mean to be embarrassed at all, in his opinion, "Under the sky, only the thick soil, the soil grows all things, nourishes the living beings, and is far more valuable than gold and jewelry. ”

"Heaven bless, the thick soil is given, now Kyushu is falling apart, the people's lives have been tragically ruined, and they are not talented, I am willing to do my best to recreate the unification of China, create a peaceful and prosperous world, please protect the heavens and the earth~~~"

After praying, Cao Cao got up, picked up the bag of loess weighing at least seven or eight catties on the surface of the giant ding, and threw it all in at once~~~~

From the little emperor Liu Xie's 'first offering', and then Princess Haiyan - Yaxian, and finally to Cao Cao - the final offering, the process seems simple, in fact, it takes a lot of steps in the middle, and it is music, and it is a salute, and it is a prayer, it took almost a whole hour, and the original fat in the giant tripod has already been consumed, and even the dry firewood is almost burned, and now it is thrown into it by Cao Cao with a handful of moist loess, the flames flashed, and the green smoke rose ~~~ extinguished!

"Wow...... extinguished, why is the Ding Huo extinguished?"

The ministers under the altar were in an uproar, some people were dumbfounded, some people were at a loss, everyone knew that Liu Bang was 'fire virtue' and prospered, creating the Han world, and now the flame of the sacrifice to the sky has been extinguished, what is the good luck?

Xiao Yi was closest to Juding, looking at the extinguished flames, and then at the calm Cao Cao, he was also secretly frightened, "The Five Elements have always said that the Han has the fire virtue and prospered, and now the fire virtue is extinguished, and the soil is prosperous, with the Wei Dynasty Han, is it really the will of heaven?" …… Or is it human? ”

The cold wind swept by, a bleak place, providence, people's hearts, who can say clearly?

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Whether it is providence or people's hearts, the ceremony is finally over, and the following is the most important thing today, giving the little emperor Liu Xie a coming-of-age crown ceremony, which is also the core of this **.

There was another burst of drums and music, and complicated etiquette, and then the civil and military officials stepped forward together, long live the mountain, please the little emperor Liu Xie, for the people of the world, for the foundation of the ancestors, for social harmony, for the succession of the ancestors, for ~~~~ to perform the adult crown ceremony!

"Please ask the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to ascend the altar and perform the adult crown ceremony, and the ministers will congratulate Your Majesty!"

Kong Rong roared out with all his strength, his old face turned red, and he was able to give the emperor a crown salute with his own hands, what a great honor this is, from the old ancestor Confucius to the present, the ancestors of the twentieth generation have not gotten such an opportunity, and today, they are considered to have been caught by him!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"The ministers congratulate the Han Dynasty for ten thousand years!"

Under the attention of thousands of soldiers, in the congratulatory voices of hundreds of civil and military officials, the little emperor Liu Xie strode onto the altar and stood in front of the ceremonial platform that had been set up a long time ago, his little face was red with excitement, and his chest was even higher, because he was about to become an adult!

"From now on, no one dares to call me a little emperor, I must be honored as Your Majesty, I am no longer someone else's marionette, an adult emperor, is to be in charge of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, to be worshiped by all the people, with the constitution of heaven in my mouth, I follow the law, I am the country, I am the society, I am everything!"

"I~~ cough! Ahem! ~"Because he was so excited, the little emperor couldn't breathe, and he choked on saliva, and under a violent cough, his originally red little face turned gray and white again, and he still lacked confidence~~
