Amid the sound of the tsunami of mountains and thunder, Li Li wore a crown with twelve tassels hanging from the front and back of his head, inserted a big gui around his waist, held a Zhengui in his hand, and steadily climbed to the altar from the southeast side of the Circular Mound.
At this moment, the wilderness in the southern suburbs was completely boiling.
Drums and music were heard, and more than 300,000 soldiers waved their weapons and cheered loudly. The war horses that had been forcibly forbidden to make sounds were neighed. The flags were danced freely by strong men with big arms and round waists, making a sound of rushing, intertwined with the loud and bustling people's continuous bowing and worship, forming a unique event at the throne ceremony.
At this moment, the group of people watching the rituals on the southeast corner below the altar was drowned by the earth-shaking cheers. They were deeply shocked, their expressions changed drastically, and they looked around incredibly, looking around the almost crazy soldiers and people. Then they looked up at Li Li, who was standing at the top of the altar, inexplicably, and inexplicably raised the thought of respect in their hearts, and felt the supreme majesty of the emperors on earth.
In an instant, more than 2,000 people from the sixteen observation missions followed the Xiliang soldiers and the people who were kneeling down and bowed down, shouting in unison, "Long live, long live, long live!"
No one forced them to bow down and worship, nor did anyone urge them to shout long live. This was purely the instinctive action driven by the boiling atmosphere on the scene. They willingly visited Li Li and surrendered to Li Li's feet. They bowed in front of him and supported him in unison.
Among the more than 2,000 members of the mission who bowed down and bowed down, only the more than 300 envoys from the Northern Wei mission and the Southern Han mission hesitated for a moment and hesitated. I wonder if they should bow to Li Li like everyone else. After all, they belong to different camps, have their own belongings and dynasties, and are also the missions invited to watch the ceremony. They do not have to give a big gift, nor do they have to echo the people and shout long live, nor can they show weakness in front of Li Li and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, which will make the identity of their respective dynasties and the face of the messengers.
However, just as they hesitated, tens of thousands of ruthless eyes stared at them, making them cold all over their bodies, and they couldn't help but tremble all over. An indescribable coldness quickly rose from the soles of their feet and reached their foreheads. Suddenly, they felt that their backs were chilly, and cold sweat was on their foreheads. The murderous gazes seemed to cut them into pieces, swallow them alive, and crush them into meat paste. This feeling was indescribable, but it really existed. Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of cold eyes, they knelt down without thinking, supported their hands, bowed their heads and bowed, and shouted long live with everyone.
This is the power of the masses, the will of the people, and the general trend. No one can go against the current. As long as you don’t want to be torn into pieces or crushed into meat paste, you must follow the flow and follow the steps of the people. Follow their calls and surrender to the feet of Li Li who is high above.
Among the members of the missionary who bowed down were Pang Tong, the chief military advisor of the Southern Han Kingdom and Cao Pi, the prince of Wei. They were hidden among the entourages of their respective missionaries, dressed in a well-decorated manner, but also wore gray-black felt hats, which looked inconsistent, and looked like a nouveau riche. This was exactly the same as the identity of their entourages.
After all, these entourages who protected the security of the mission were all a group of reckless men who only knew how to dance with swords and sticks, shouted and killed. They were really mud legs that were ignorant and could not wear silk and satin all their lives. However, in order to show the identity and status of their respective dynasties and not be ridiculed, the mission leader specially bought them a brocade robes sewn with high-quality silk and satin, so that they could wear decent clothes and dress them in decently to participate in the throne ceremony. This was to pretend to be fat, to serve as a fawn, and to let a group of warriors wear silk, so as not to lose face of the state of the two major vassal states of the Northern Wei and Southern Han.
Unexpectedly, they left the inn early in the morning and went out with very cold and the ground was covered with white frost. So in order to keep warm and not be frozen, they took the initiative to wear a big furry felt hat that could cover their ears and most of their cheeks. This has formed a different landscape at this moment. A group of burly men in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes stood in the crowd with big felt hats, sweating profusely, but they could not take off their hats casually, so they could only continue to hold on with the big felt hats.
Because they were sweating on their heads, and the felt hats covered their hair tightly. If they rashly took off their hats, their hair would be as messy as a chicken coop, and their hair would be soaked with sweat. In such a grand and solemn occasion, if their hair is messy or disheveled, it would undoubtedly be untidy and inappropriate. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the national body? What's more, there were hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers and people at the scene, and they would be disguised in full view of the public. Wouldn't it be laughed at by others and wouldn't it be ridiculed for the rest of their lives in the future?
For this reason, although they were sweating profusely and beads of sweat as big as beans flowed down their ears, sweating profusely, Pang Tong, Cao Pi and his entourage could only grit their teeth and hold on. No matter how hot they were, they would not take off their hats. They would have to hold on until the end of the throne ceremony, otherwise their true identities would be revealed. Some of the civil and military officials present in Xiliang were able to recognize them.
Let’s not talk about it, just talk about Pang Tong, the teacher of the Southern Han Dynasty. At this moment, there are many people who know him under the altar because he had represented the Han Emperor Liu Biao to Nanyang County to deliver the letter of state. Bo Cai, Yang Qiu, Zhuge Jin and others who were stationed in Nanyang have seen him. In addition, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have been classmates for many years. As long as Pang Tong dares to take off his hat and reveals his true face, even if the crowds are surging at this moment, Zhuge Liang can still pull him out of the crowd.
This is true for Pang Tong, and Cao Pi is no exception. Once he appears in public, even if the generals and civil officials of Xiliang do not know him, Xiliang's Xizhu is not a person who eats a good meal. How can he not recognize the prince of Wei Cao Pi? Once discovered, Cao Pi wants to escape without being alone, and he will not want to leave Chang'an alive.
Therefore, in order not to attract attention, not to reveal his identity and whereabouts, he left Chang'an with a peaceful look. Pang Tong and Cao Pi both sweated heavily, knelt down with everyone to bow to Li Li, bowed to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor!" This is indeed too difficult for both of them.
Speaking of which, in the two major princes, they are definitely the number one figure. Although they dare not say that they are below one person and above ten thousand people, they are also the most popular figures who respond to the wind and rain. However, they cannot help themselves at this moment. Whether it is the chief military advisor of the Southern Han Dynasty or the prince of Wei, they both dare not act rashly and can only follow the crowd. They must learn how to do what others do, and they must gather their spirits. They must not be careless at all. If they want to learn, they must learn in a good manner and cannot see any flaws.
It has to be said that sometimes disguising himself as a wise move, but he became a clever trick, and the consequences of being smart are to suffer. Pang Tong and Cao Pi were both trapped in a cocoon and suffered deeply. The heat was so hot that his face was like a pig's liver, and he was in pain that he wanted to cry without tears. However, he still pretended to be a fanatic who firmly supported Li Li's emperor, kneeled down and bowed down. You must know that when their respective emperors, Cao Cao of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Liu Biao of the Southern Han Dynasty, they were not as active as they were at this moment. They knelt on the ground and bowed again and again, and shouted loudly every time they kowtowed.
Those who don’t know the inside story will definitely mistakenly think that they are loyal fans of Li Li, loyal to the point of being fanatical. Seeing the felt hats on their heads steaming, sweating profusely between their necks, sweating profusely, and heated like that, but they still kowtowed and shouted long live, which was more active and fanatical than most Xiliang soldiers and the people. They did not know that they did this by taking the opportunity of bowing down and kneeling down to shake off the sweat on their foreheads, and taking advantage of the opportunity to raise their heads to wipe off the sweat that covered their eyes.
Just as Pang Tong and Cao Pi were unwilling to bow their heads and bowing, just below the altar two hundred steps away from the two of them, there was also a man kneeling down with his knees and bowing with his hands; but his expression was dull, and he knelt on the ground and looked up at Li Li on the altar, with his eyes confused and lost. He was the chief clerk under Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Sima Zhongda, who was born in a century-old prominent family in Hanoi.
Seeing Li Li ascended the throne and became emperor amid the tsunami of roaring mountains and seas, Sima Yi did not feel any special feeling, and was unmoved at all. Not only did he not look surprised, he felt that such a grand ceremony of ascension was too extravagant and was a waste of money, and it was by no means a wise move.
However, as the missions from various countries who came to watch the ceremony also knelt down and called out, Sima Yi finally realized the true intention of this ceremony. It is obvious that Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Li Ru, who were preparing for the throne ceremony, wanted to use this shocking effect to spread the grand event in the southern suburbs, so as to win the recognition of the new emperor Li Li by the broader people, increase the popularity of Jin State, and lay the foundation for the future unification of the world. These tricks can naturally be hidden from the deep and wise Sima Zhongda.
However, when he saw Huan Fei, known as the "No. 1 General of Xiliang", climbing to the altar with a big flag, Sima Yi suddenly lost his composure and felt inexplicably lost. He seemed to have lost a treasure that was closely related to his life and directly related to the fate of the Sima family. In a trance, he felt empty in his heart, as if his heart had been taken away by someone else, and endless loss and melancholy surged in his heart. These negative feelings came suddenly, came too quickly, and for no reason, but brought him inexplicably sad.
At this moment, Sima Yi stared at the big star that was turbulent in the wind, staring at the big star with a big star with a big star with a big star. This star was the national name after the founding of Xiliang. It came from Sima Yi's mouth. It was also the word "Jin" that gave him a chance to survive. It even brought peace to the entire Sima family and gave the family the opportunity to revive the family.
