Chapter 42: The Worst Enthronement Ceremony in History
Don't take action, wait for the situation to change!
Behind this inaction, there is a huge gamble with lives at stake!
Hanging everything on Yuan Shu's decision is quite "wise" in Chen Gong's opinion, but unfortunately, two of the three decided to do so, and Chen Gong did not have a very good way.
He could only watch Wang Wei Cao Cao dispatch troops and stand on the west wall of Shouchun, and after that, Wang Wei, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others remained motionless, as steady as an old dog......
The fire of war burning in Shouchun on the other side seems to have nothing to do with everyone anymore.
……
Wang Wei and Cao Cao's actions were actually not unexpected by Yuan Shu......
As soon as Yuan Shu mentioned this, Wang Wei and Cao Cao only had three reactions - either to help themselves, or to help Liu Wei, or to help no one. Among them, the probability of no one helping is the highest.
However, although it was not expected, the disappointment in my heart was inevitable.
Beside him, the advisor Yuan Jian said softly.
"Your Majesty, so ......"
As a result, the ministers talked about it.
Some said to surrender Liu Wei, some said to hand over the jade seal, and some said to resist to the death......
There are those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are also those who are steadfast and loyal!
For a while, all kinds of situations in the world appeared in front of him, but Yuan Shu only felt that the irritability in his heart was getting stronger and stronger!
Until the highway brother slapped the case a few times, he shouted loudly!
"Shut up!"
There was no sound in the temple.
Yuan Shu took two deep breaths and made a final decision!
"The generals will obey!"
"The last general!"
"Wait, you must firmly contain Liu Wei and Cao Wang and others near the city wall, but there is a mistake, come and see you!"
"The last general commands!"
"Yuan Lian, where is Yan Xiang?"
"The minister is here!"
"Tomorrow, I will ascend the throne!"
As soon as he said it, all the ministers were shocked!
"My lord, no, Your Majesty, you can't help it, tomorrow is not a good day! What's more, the enthronement is not properly prepared now, and we haven't arranged it yet......"
"Enough!"
Yuan Shu burst into a shout, interrupting the words of the ceremonial official, at this moment, Yuan Shu was watching left and right, but there was also some Wang Ba's anger......
"I've made up my mind! You will not mention it again...... Good day and auspicious day, hum! If you really wait until the auspicious day, I'm afraid Lao Tzu's ashes will be rotten! What else is the enthronement ceremony, what palace repairs...... Why do you have to worry about these little things? Tomorrow, in my mansion, I Yuan Shu will ascend the throne! ”
After saying this, Yuan Shuchang breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
……
That night, Wang Wei and others returned to the camp, but left enough troops on the wall of the West Gate, and sent a large number of scouts to roam inside and outside Shouchun City to observe the battle situation.
The information was collected one by one into Wang Wei's hands, and because of this, Wang Wei stayed awake all night.
In fact, it's not just Wang Wei, in this situation, even if his heart is as big as Lu Bu, he doesn't have the heart to sleep.
After all, the development of the battle situation tonight will determine the fate of the trio......
With the information being summarized, it was not surprising that Yuan Shu chose to resist to the end.
However, to Wang Wei's surprise, the resilience of this Yuan Shu side is indeed strong! His soldiers fought fiercely with Liu Bianjun near the city wall of the East Gate, fighting for every inch of land! After one night, only two streets were lost!
A completely different scene from the battle in the city was not that Liu Wei released the water, but because of the quality of the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command last night, there was a sudden change!
If it was said that the original bonus given by Yuan Shu to his command was only comparable to Wang Wei, then since the early hours of last night, it has surpassed Wang Wei, and by about three o'clock in the morning, the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command already have the capital to compete head-on with Liu Wei's command!
The weird scene undoubtedly illustrates a point!
Yuan Shu's intention to ascend the throne has been decided, and the time is close at hand!
The sky is dark, slowly shining......
Wang Wei, who had been tidying up all night, got up and stretched his waist, thinking back to the intelligence information brought by the horse scouting last night, and after a while, Wang Wei strode out of the barracks and found Cao Cao and Lu Bu.
"Let's go, I'll show you something fun."
Wang Wei pretended to be mysterious, but Cao Cao and Lu Bu both smiled when they heard this.
Without Wang Wei's explanation, they all understood what Wang Wei meant by "fun".
……
Returned to the city wall of the west gate of Shouchun, Wang Wei, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao climbed high and looked into the distance, at this moment, Wang Wei held a telescope high, observing every move in the city in detail.
In the east, the shouting of killing still shook the sky, and Liu Wei and Yuan Shu were entangled for a night and still did not distinguish the winner - the specific situation, Wang Wei could not see clearly, of course, this is not the focus of Wang Wei's attention.
He focused his attention on Yuan Shu's mansion and the palace that had not yet been repaired.
These two locations are not too far from the west city wall, Lu Bu can see them clearly with his eyesight alone, and Wang Wei can see it with a telescope, but Cao Cao is bitter - blurry, and he can't see anything clearly......
Wang Wei also ignored Cao Cao's sensory feelings, holding the binoculars, Wang Wei waited silently......
It wasn't until about 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning that the vision in the telescope finally changed.
……
But seeing a large number of officials in Shouchun City, they walked out of the mansion one after another and came to the place where Yuan Shu was.
It's not a palace that hasn't been repaired yet, it's just Yuan Shu's home.
And in Yuan Shu's house, the temple platform for worshipping the heavens, the earth, and the sect has been built—just rough...... Wang Wei couldn't see it clearly, but he could also see from the specifications how shabby this crudely built sacrificial shrine was......
Savoring it, Wang Wei couldn't help but feel a trace of pity for Yuan Shu.
Ascending the throne, how big is it to achieve the position of the Ninety-Five? As a result, Liu Wei made such a fuss, and under pressure, Yuan Shu had to keep everything simple - Wang Wei even suspected that the ancestor worship ceremony organized by Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others every year was more lively than Yuan Shu's enthronement ceremony.
In the distance, in Yuan Shu's mansion.
The civil and military officials were arranged separately until everything was in order, and in the long cheers of the ceremonial officials, Yuan Shushi Shiran, who was wearing a dragon robe, walked out of the backyard.
At this moment, Yuan Shulong walked in a tiger step, and seemed to be in high spirits...... But even Wang Wei, who was far away, could feel the frustration emanating from Yuan Shu's body......
A once-in-a-lifetime event, but it turned out to be like this......
It can be seen that Yuan Shumu Ran looked at the civil and military forces in front of him and the simple sacrificial rooftop, and for a moment, he took two deep breaths, as if he had forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. Then he gave the ceremonial officer a look, and when the ceremonial officer saw this, he immediately began the ceremony.
First of all, it is to sacrifice to the sky, the earth, and the ancestors......
And the sacrificial ritual cannot be simplified in any way.
In ancient times, sacrifice was the first priority! Even if the situation was urgent now, Yuan Shu didn't think about saving any time on the issue of sacrifice.
