Chapter 420: Founding Ceremony, the Emperor has ascended the throne [Votes requested]

There was a special atmosphere in Yecheng that morning.

At four o'clock in the morning, people started to get up in the dark.

People from counties and towns around the city and suburbs all hurried to Yecheng.

The consistent attitude of the Great Wei Dynasty was not to prohibit the people from watching the ceremony.

However, there will be Wei troops on the scene to maintain order and prohibit any noise or movement.

Some people stayed outside the city last night just to get a front seat.

In the military camp, troops at all levels are ready.

For this grand ceremony, strong armies from all over the country rushed to Yecheng.

The city gates opened and a large number of people left the city.

But when they arrived at the open space outside the north city gate, they found that it was already crowded with people.

And more people are still pouring in from all directions.

The founding ceremony of a country may not happen once every few hundred years. People from inside and outside the city came in an endless stream.

Inside the city.

All officials also got up early.

They checked their official robes in front of the mirror again and again to see if they were dressed neatly.

Then they left their homes and, according to their different job duties, some went to Cao's mansion to meet Cao Cao, while others came outside the city first and lined up to wait.

Kunlun Ruins.

Dao Zun and the Totem Dragon temporarily stopped their exploration and came out from the mountain.

The Taoist Master was surprised to see that the totem dragon suddenly stretched out its body, sank into the clouds, and headed northeast at a speed of thunder and lightning.

The heartland of the Xianbei.

Afuyu, the high shaman, is gazing at the southern sky.

"You feel it too?"

A look of surprise flashed across Afu's face, which was as angular as a sculpture.

Over the past ten days, a wave of luck had been rising and accumulating in the southern Han territory, and it reached its peak in the early morning of that day.

The weight of that luck even shocked him.

"The destiny of heaven and earth is tilting towards the south, and even the destiny of our Xianbei people is being moved and flowing towards the Han territory."

"What force makes the changes in heaven and earth so obvious?"

"Establishing a country, only by establishing a country can one attract such a magnificent destiny and swallow up the four directions."

The wind howled on the mountain top.

Afu Yu, the high priest's robe fluttered and his face was solemn.

……

Yecheng, Cao Mansion.

Cao Cao got up early in the morning and went to a quiet room to sit cross-legged and circulate his qi to communicate with heaven and earth.

Then he put on his outer robe and walked into another palace.

Incense balls are lit here and the aroma is wafting.

Diao Chan was dressed like a bride, a black dress with red patterns and a lady's crown on her head, looking extremely beautiful.

In her early years in the palace, she was a female official in charge of crowns and serving.

Cao Cao initially asked her to be responsible for arranging his crowns and clothes, and gradually she became his personal female official who specialized in helping him arrange his weapons and sticks.

Diao Chan took out a crown called the Jade Seat Crown, which was a crown used exclusively by kings, and helped Cao Cao put it on.

The Jade Throne Crown corresponds to Cao Cao’s identity as the King of the Nine Provinces.

This was also the last time he wore the crown.

Before the founding of the country, he was the king of the earth. After the founding of the country, he became the Son of Heaven, the master of the world.

After the founding ceremony, Cao Cao would wear the imperial crown, also known as the emperor's crown.

Starting tomorrow, spring will arrive and the emperor will take charge of the country.

Wearing the crown and royal robe for the last time is like a connection with wearing the royal robe tomorrow, which means everything is renewed.

Cao Cao's imperial clothing had also been prepared.

But Diao Chan was mysterious and didn't let him see.

After putting on the crown, Yu Qing and other wives and concubines also came in and took out the belt for Cao Cao and tied it around the royal robe.

Each of the women gave him an ornament and helped him put on the waist ornament, dragon python boots, brocade robe and jade belt.

Yu Qing asked someone to bring the national sword Chengying, and personally hung it on the buckle around Cao Cao's waist, feeling very happy.

The founding ceremony of a country should be magnificent and solemn.

Everything was ready, and the family first held a ceremony to worship the ancestors of the Cao family and to worship heaven and earth.

Zheng Xuan, Shui Jing, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Tong Yuan, Zhong Yao, Cai Yong and other famous figures of the time came before daybreak.

All officials, led by Xun Yu, followed Cao Cao to worship heaven and earth and their ancestors.

A bronze tripod was placed in the front hall of Cao's mansion, with Cao Cao holding the tripod with both handles to show that he was the head of the world and the master of the world.

The sky was bright and the sun was shining.

Outside Cao's mansion, his personal army and heavy cavalry stood in large numbers.

Even Dian Wei and Xu Chu put on brand new heavy cavalry armor and rode in front to lead the way.

Yu Qing, Diao Chan, Bian Mei and other wives and concubines boarded the carriage one after another.

The group left Cao's mansion and headed towards the city gate.

The process of the march was similar to the last time the altar was sealed and the generals were honored, with soldiers lining the streets.

Even Yin, who was accompanying him, was dressed in custom-made bronze armor, which wrapped his tiger head, making him look even more ferocious.

Cao Cao was riding in the emperor's chariot, which was pulled by six horses, namely, Claw Yellow, Jue Ying and Red Hare, along with three other divine horses, according to the emperor's regulations.

The carriage arrived all the way to the north gate.

The wives and concubines got off their respective carriages and climbed up to the top of the side city walls first, with their necks stretched out, waiting for their husbands to come up the city walls.

When Cao Cao got off the carriage, the streets were full of soldiers kneeling to greet him.

At the foot of the city, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and other civil and military officials, all wearing armor or official robes, looked high in spirits.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu led the cavalry, but they had something to perform later and did not accompany Cao Cao.

"When did you get up?"

"What time did you get up? You didn't sleep at all last night. How could you sleep?"

"I didn't sleep either. I started dressing at midnight last night, but I realized in the morning that I was wearing the wrong clothes. I can only wear the official robes of the new dynasty tomorrow, so I changed back to my current official uniform."

"..."

Zhang Liao, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others were talking in low voices in the back.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were laughing beside them.

Cao Cao turned around and looked at these most trusted civil and military officials and said, "Look at what you have accomplished."

The order and governance of the world is the result of these people coming together, working together, and fighting on the battlefield for ten years.

After ten years of fighting and repeated victories, Cao Wei had laid an unshakable foundation and established the current Wei Dynasty, a new unified dynasty.

These generals, civil and military officials, experienced it firsthand and were deeply touched. Probably not many people could fall asleep last night.

Cao Cao was so careless that he not only fell asleep, but also slept with more than one woman.

outside the city.

Except for the core officials who followed Cao Cao, all other officials gathered together.

They stood in the middle of the crowd watching the ceremony. On both sides and behind them were Cao's troops, with spears and halberds at their disposal and a mighty military might.

Continuing to both sides, there are nobles and envoys from all over the world.

Standing on the periphery are countless people.

The entire open space in the north of the city was filled with people like the sea and flags like the tide.

Boom! Dong Dong——

Cao Wei was founded on military power, and its founding ceremony was also marked with military drums.

Amid the sound of drums, Zheng Xuan and Xun Yu went up to the top of the city wall first.

Cao Cao held up the hem of his royal robe with one hand and pressed his sword with the other. He walked up the steps from the city gate step by step and reached the top of the city wall.

As soon as you look out, you can see thousands of people gathering outside the city.

The Cao Wei army that protected the capital was armed with thousands of spears and swords, shining brightly with cold light.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

As soon as Cao Cao climbed the city wall, the shouts of tens of thousands of strong soldiers suddenly rang out.

The appeal of a founding monarch has never been comparable.

Especially a monarch like Cao Cao who emerged from troubled times, personally led many wars and commanded them.

The various troops of the Wei Dynasty were almost fanatical in their support for him.

When they saw him appear, the soldiers' blood boiled and they shouted desperately.

The sound made the clouds in the sky and earth part and the mountains and rivers shake.

Cao Cao stood on the top of the city wall, looking down at the soldiers who had followed him to conquer the world, and he felt a little excited.

He raised his hand, and immediately there was silence below.

The power and aura of being able to command an army with just a wave of his hands and feet made the spectators from all sides feel their scalps tingling and hold their breath.

Cao Cao's deep, heavy voice rang in everyone's ears:

"It has been more than ten years since Dong Zhuo rebelled and led his army to attack Luoyang, causing chaos under heaven."

"At that time, the whole country was in chaos, and uprisings broke out in various places. People were living in poverty, begging for food in a panic, and were displaced.

Cao then gave up his previous idle life, gathered troops and fought against various factions, just to restore order to the world and bring peace to the nine provinces. "

"All the soldiers under my command have fought with me over the years, including Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and foreign invaders. To date, my army has suffered more than 200,000 casualties, but I have finally allowed the people to return to their homeland and protect my Han territory from foreign invaders."

"Today, I want to tell the world that the rebels in the thirteen states have all surrendered, and my Great Wei is invincible across the world.

Millions of people have found their homes and are now safe again.”

"Now that the world is restored to order, I hereby declare to heaven and earth that the Wei Kingdom will be established. I will be the Son of Heaven, ruling the world and commanding all nations!"

"I declare the founding of the Wei Kingdom!"

Cao Cao stood on the top of the city wall, holding his sword, and walked slowly to the left and right for a few steps, his eyes sharp:
"I am the leader of the Wei Dynasty and I shall establish our national prestige. Who in the world dares not to obey me?"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers below raised their spears and swords at the same time.

In front, all the officials knelt down and called "Your Majesty" three times.

This is the transformation from 'king' to 'emperor', and the title also changes.

Cao Cao was on the top of the city wall, slowly opening his arms.

In the back, Xun Yu also led a group of close ministers to kneel on the ground.

At the foot of the city, the people watching the ceremony also knelt down one after another.

Hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison, "Great Wei, Your Majesty!" Their voices echoed through the sky!

After the crowd quieted down again, Cao Cao said: "I appoint Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo as the heads of all officials in the Great Wei."

"I will appoint Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng as General Dingxi, commanding the entire western army and making them my generals."

"Appoint Zhao Yun as the Right General of the Northern Expedition, Zhang Liao as the Left General of the Northern Expedition, Taishi Ci as the General of the Eastern Expedition, Cao Ren as the General of the Southern Expedition, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun as the generals..."

The list of generals was very long, and Cao Cao appointed each of them.

"Dian Wei, I gave you the name E Lai.

He has fought in many battles, slashed countless generals, and is the chief general of my personal army, with Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang as deputy generals..."

"Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao were appointed as military advisors and chief counselors, Xun You and Xun Gongda were appointed as censors to supervise all matters, Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde were appointed as guards, and were granted the rank of nine ministers... Zheng Xuan and Zheng Kang became the heads of the Imperial College and led the students of the whole country."

Cao Cao read out the appointments aloud.

Then Zheng Xuan took out the book with everyone's names recorded and struck the ritual chimes.

A large tripod was carried to the top of the city wall, with incense burning inside it. Green smoke rose, as if its voice could reach the ears of heaven.

This is a sacrifice to the heavens. Cao Wei will use this team to govern the world and establish a new dynasty.

Rumble!
At this moment, a vision appeared.

When Cao Wei was founded, its fortunes soared to the sky.

The heaven and earth seemed to be responding.

Above Yecheng, the sun emitted thousands of golden rays of light, and every inch of space seemed to become brighter.

There is a golden halo shining on the ground, like a golden lotus blooming under the sun.

This is called "the humble house is illuminated by light" and "golden lotus emerges from the ground", which is a sign of good fortune since ancient times.

Guo Jia whispered, "Zheng Sinong is very clever."

Xi Zhicai was surprised and said, "Was this done by Zheng Sinong? It feels like a real change in the aura of heaven and earth, not man-made."

Guo Jia: "He was appointed by His Majesty as the head of the Imperial College and the teacher of all students in the world. How lucky is that? I guess it must be this old man's trick to please His Majesty."

"You two keep quiet!" Xun Yu said from the side.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, apart from being afraid of Cao Cao, had great respect for their immediate superior, Xun Yu, so they stopped talking upon hearing this.

Cao Cao was also observing the weather conditions.

The auspicious changes before our eyes are infinitely more brilliant than those when Yuan Shu and his ilk founded a country and shot the fake python.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

In the distant sky, purple air was spreading across the sky like a huge tide, surging towards Yecheng.

Deep in the purple air that covered the sky, there was a figure that stretched across the sky, rising and falling.

"Purple air fills the sky!"

"what is that?"

"There's something in the purple air!"

Everyone was looking at the purple air that was surging from afar on the wall of the sky.

And in the purple air, that huge figure was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, the sky and the earth above Yecheng changed color!
