Thanks to the vavm brothers for the two monthly passes!

Although the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and made Cao Cao's whole person tired because of it, what this ceremony brought was another increase in Cao Cao's prestige.

If before, in the hearts of the people of the world, Cao Cao was just a king, then after today's ceremony spread all over the world, in the hearts of the people, Cao Cao, as a king, will become the emperor, after all, the only emperor who can sacrifice to the sky since ancient times, Cao Cao's sacrifice to the sky today is almost like announcing to the world that he Cao Cao is an emperor.

Of course, in this way, the hatred of the princes of the world for Cao Cao is obviously deeper, after all, if you want to be the emperor, not only Cao Cao, but also other princes, and the more you want to be the emperor, the more you can't tolerate others to be the emperor.

But today, Cao Cao doesn't care anymore, when there are still few princes left, but there are few, even if they don't hate him Cao Cao, he will one day, when he has recuperated, he will send troops to pacify the remaining princes, it is precisely because of these considerations that Cao Cao will let Lu Su go down to hold a ceremony to worship the sky, and have his own sacrifice to the sky, instead of handing it over to Emperor Han Xian.

After the sacrifice was over, Cao Cao walked down from the altar of sacrifice, but if someone looked closely, they would find that Cao Cao's steps were very slow, as if waiting for something.

"Your Majesty's holy decree, Your Majesty's holy decree, Your Majesty's holy decree, your majesty's holy decree has arrived!"

Cao Cao, who was halfway through, looked at Hua Xin, who was panting below, the corners of his mouth hidden under the crown were raised, and he smiled: "It turned out to be Ziyu, what happened, why did Your Majesty issue the holy decree?" ”

Hua Xin at the bottom heard Cao Cao call his words so kindly, his heart could be described as extremely excited, it was not easy, why did he get off the horse so immediately, not just to let Cao Cao see himself. And then promote, value yourself.

"Your Majesty, auspicious rain from the sky, and your majesty sacrifices to the sky. Although His Majesty was in the deep palace, he also heard about the king's affairs today, and his majesty was in a hurry to recruit Weichen and others into the palace, and said to Weichen that the king's merits. If you are not a king, this is the edict of His Majesty canonizing the king as the king, and please accept the edict. ”

Because Cao Cao was on the high altar of heaven, Hua Xin's words could be described as very loud, not to mention that everything was quiet at this time, Hua Xin's words could be said to have been heard by everyone present.

"Hey, do you hear, Your Majesty is going to crown Duke Wei as king."

"Of course I heard it, and I'm not deaf!"

"So to speak. Isn't it going to call Duke Wei king in the future? ”

“”

Regarding Cao Cao's "canonization" as king by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, ordinary people have no other ideas, just a simple discussion or gossip about one thing.

After all, the people are very simple, for them, who can give them a good life, who can make them well fed and clothed. So it doesn't matter who becomes the king or even the emperor, Cao Cao is like this for the people, for Cao Cao, the ruler who gives himself and others a good life. The people still had a blessing and joy for him to become king.

The people don't care or even like to see it, and Cao Cao's civil and military or, more accurately, Cao Cao's cronies, are of course ecstatic that Cao Cao becomes king. Among them, the most typical are Dian Wei and Xu Chu, these two generals, who didn't seem to believe what they heard, actually pinched each other heavily and let out a huge scream.

Don't blame them for their gaffes, as the prime ministers of the six books and the three provinces, they are also not much better, their eyes are full of ecstasy mixed with a little uncertainty,

Gonghe Wang, although it seems that there is only one level difference, but in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the king is actually equivalent to the current Son of Heaven, and even in the Eastern Han Dynasty after Qin Shi Huang founded the emperor, calling the king is also a thing that recognizes people and is excited, because the king is equal to him is only one step away from the supreme position of the Son of Heaven.

Compared with the reaction of the people who were obviously on Cao Cao's side, as the spies sent by the rest of the princes, their faces undoubtedly became ugly, looking at the figure standing on the altar of sacrifice, these spies secretly cursed the rebellious ministers and thieves in their hearts.

However, whether it was indifferent or ecstatic or ugly, the eyes of everyone present were focused on the person on the altar of heaven, and they were all waiting for Cao Cao's reaction, whether to follow without hesitation, or after three pushes, and then next.

"Bring it up."

Cao Cao's voice came from above, Hua Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, flashed a touch of excitement on his face, got up, held the holy decree in his hand, walked up to the altar of sacrifice, and respectfully came to Cao Cao's side, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Glancing at Hua Xin, who was bent over, a cold color flashed from Cao Cao's eyes, and he reached out to pick up the holy decree in his hand, spread it out and looked at it.

"Heh, if this holy decree is really issued by Emperor Han Xian, then his mind is not clear."

Looking at the holy decree written on the Holy Decree that the Central Plains Shangzhou, the four northern states and even the land of Guanzhong Chang'an would be sealed to himself and make it his fiefdom, Cao Cao almost wanted to laugh.

If it is really written according to the holy decree, when he Cao Cao founded the country, only Luoyang is left that really belongs to the Han family, and the rest of the places have become his Cao Cao's fiefdom.

As for the founding of the country, of course, it is not to throw away the banner of the Han family and create a new dynasty by himself, but according to the rules of China since ancient times, those who are crowned kings can obtain a certain amount of land and establish their own countries on it, such as the vassal states of the Western Han Dynasty.

Of course, before the Qin Dynasty unified the world, not only the king, but even the most ordinary scholars were able to obtain a piece of land and build their own cities on it.

In fact, the so-called 2,000 years of China's feudal society in later generations is wrong, the full name of feudalism is feudal statehood, and the only thing that can really be called is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period before the Qin Dynasty, the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, and the early Western Han Dynasty.

Later, although the feudal state appeared by chance, such as the Jin Dynasty, the whole of the land of China had already entered from feudalism to empire, so it was said that China at that time was a feudal era, but it was better to say that it was an imperial era. (To be continued.) )
