Chapter 336: The Ceremony of Sacrificing to the Heavens

"Very good, be sure to keep an eye on it, the ceremony of sacrificing the heavens will be held soon, and during this period, Lone doesn't want to see them give birth to Lone."

Since Hua Xin and others forced Emperor Han Xian to issue a decree to canonize him as the king, then Cao Cao didn't want to see them have anything more, if it weren't for the actions of Hua Xin and others this time, Cao Cao was originally prepared to carry it out, if it weren't for the preparation of Hua Xin and others, a good warning to the civil and military ministers who have been a little restless recently, for these subordinates who do not obey orders and come without permission, Cao Cao will definitely kill them as soon as possible.

After all, according to the behavior of Hua Xin and others, even if Cao Cao blatantly killed them, the rest of the civil and military people would not be very good in their hearts, after all, since ancient times, although there have been generals who have been subject to the orders of foreign monarchs, but those who dare to do so have no better end, which shows the supremacy of the king and the majesty of the monarchy.

If you dare to challenge the monarchy, you must be prepared to be settled by the autumn queen, and the famous Wu'an Jun Bai Qi during the Warring States period ended up desolate, not only because of his high merit, but also because he often did not obey the orders of the King of Qin, for such a person, the Qin Dynasty was able to endure it until the end before killing him, which undoubtedly shows the terrible endurance of the king of the Qin Dynasty.

Even Wu'an Jun Bai Qi was killed in his later years because of challenging the monarchy, not to mention Hua Xin's civil servants, since ancient times, although they are all literary and martial arts, but in the face of the monarchy, Wenchen is sometimes inferior to military generals, for the king, killing a few civil ministers is definitely much easier than killing a general.

"Yes!"

After the dark one took the order to retreat, Cao Cao did it alone, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the desk, his eyes were slightly closed, and his mind was constantly thinking about things, there were Hua Xin and others, there were sacrifices to the sky, and there were some other things.

At the end of September of the fifth year of Jian'an, after nearly a month of rushing work, a huge place to worship the heavens was officially located on the outskirts of Chendu. Hearing that Cao Cao will sacrifice to the heavens again today, the people gathered here looked at the square altar with dozens of steps. There was a flash of joy and awe in both eyes.

For the common people, it undoubtedly means that next year will be a good year, and at the same time, sacrifice to the sky, sacrifice to the sky. For the mysterious existence of the sky, the hearts of the people are still full of awe.

In the mansion of the Duke of Wei, Cao Cao had already finished dressing, wearing a black princes' uniform and a crown of princes, under the escort of Dian Wei, Xu Chu and three hundred personal soldiers, he came to the mansion of the Duke of Wei and walked into the pure black frame.

"Duke Wei set off, idlers take refuge for the time being!"

"Duke Wei set off, idlers take refuge for the time being!"

"Duke Wei set off. Idlers take refuge! ”

More than a dozen cavalry took the lead and shouted, so that some people who didn't know what happened today walked to the side, behind the cavalry, there were Cao Jun's foot soldiers holding high all kinds of banners needed to worship the sky, in the middle was Cao Cao's frame, on both sides of the frame were Dian Wei and Xu Chu with a fierce and vicious look, and after that there were nearly 500 Cao soldiers holding Changge.

Cao Cao's trip today is compared to the procession of the emperor of the Han Dynasty when he worshiped the sky. Although it is far inferior, but the sacrifice to the sky, which was originally something that only the Son of Heaven can do, was replaced by Cao Cao at this moment. Even a common man seems to be able to see the day when the Han Dynasty is about to fall completely.

Although the frame was huge, because the road had been cleared earlier, it didn't take much time for Cao Cao to arrive at the place of worship, and at this time, Cao Cao's civil and military forces were already wearing official uniforms, waiting for Cao Cao.

"Ministers, see your lordship. May the Great Wei be ten thousand years, and the king will be ten thousand years! ”

"See the king, the king is ten thousand years, the Great Wei is ten thousand years!"

After Cao Cao, who was dressed in princes' clothes, stepped off the frame, the civil, military and people present knelt down to Cao Cao, and the whole scene, at this time, was still standing, only Cao Cao was alone, and 10,000 people knelt down, and the sacredness and majesty of the monarchy were undoubtedly reflected at this moment.

"Get up."

After waving his hand to make everyone present get up, Cao Cao didn't make any more moves, and the rest of the people present did the same, because they knew very well that the next thing was to wait for time, waiting for the moment when the auspicious time came.

Seven o'clock before sunrise, Lu Su, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of this ceremony, flashed with joy in his eyes, stepped forward, and shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived, the ceremony of worshipping the heavens has begun, and the bell is ringing!" ”

Knock~knock~knock~~

The huge bronze bell was ringed, echoing one after another, taking a deep breath, Cao Cao grabbed the front hem of his crown and walked towards the top of the altar of sacrifice, and when Cao Cao reached the top, the loud bell subsided, and Lu Su below was born again: "Play music!" ”

In later generations, some people sounded monotonous, but at this time, people heard that it seemed mysterious and heavy, solemn music sounded, and the music sounded, representing the official beginning of the ceremony of worshipping the heavens.

At this time, on the altar of worship, the southeast burnt calf, the southwest hanging sky lantern, the smoke and clouds, the candle theater shook red, giving people a very mysterious feeling.

And Cao Cao, who was standing at the top of the Temple of Heaven, accompanied by the mysterious feeling exuded by the Temple of Heaven at this time, made the people present feel a sense of awe.

Cao Cao ascended to the top of the altar of heaven, and the ceremony of sacrificing to heaven was officially started, and in the next few hours, Cao Cao could be regarded as experiencing what to do and be tired and tired.

The ancient Chinese ancestors were very in awe and worship of the sky, so the ceremonies of worshipping the heavens that extended from this are also very complicated and numerous.

Welcoming the emperor god, laying jade silk, entering the ceremony, the first gift, the second gift, the end of the gift, the dissolution, the emperor god, Wangliao, these are done, and then thank God for the auspicious rui, as the king of Cao Cao, how to do this in the future, the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is completed.

It's really tiring, it seems that in the future, this ceremony of sacrificing to the sky will be better or not.

Cao Cao exhaled a breath of some tiredness in his heart, welcoming the emperor god, laying jade silk, entering the ceremony, making the first gift, making the second gift, the end of the gift, withdrawing the food, sending the emperor god, and looking at the fire, etc., the process is lengthy, and the etiquette is complicated, not only Cao Cao himself is tired, but also consumes great manpower and material resources.

In addition, there is music and dance in each sacrificial link, and the manpower and financial resources required for the phone bill are not even known. (To be continued.) )
