Chapter [174] The Imperial Party As A Demon
"Woo woo woo~~~"
"Boom boom boom"
A long horn sounded, followed by the sound of fierce drums.
"Roar!!!"
Eight warriors in the army were bare-chested, carrying wooden poles with thick bowls on their shoulders, and a group of people worked together to lift a big tripod, which was a ritual vessel needed for worshiping heaven.
The eight sergeants are all elites in the army. Together they carried the big tripod slowly towards the altar. The speed was very slow. The sergeants seemed to be struggling and their faces were flushed. It must weigh two thousand catties, or even more.
"Where can I get such a big tripod?" Lu Bu asked in a low voice.
From Lu Bu's intention to become king to the holding of the coronation ceremony, there was not even a month's time.
Obviously, such a huge bronze ritual vessel was not cast temporarily.
Zhang Song and Jia Xu behind Lu Bu heard the words and said, "I found it from the treasure house of the palace, but I don't know the exact origin.
"During Emperor Taizong's time, someone said: Jiuding died in Sishui River, and now the river overflows through Sishui. Looking at Fenyin in the northeast, there will always be gold treasures. Wish.
"During the reign of Emperor Sejong, the treasure tripod was obtained in Fenyin, and the treasure tripod was received in Ganquan Palace."
The one who spoke was Cai Yong who answered Lu Bu's doubts.
The two emperors Taizong and Sejong mentioned by Cai Yong are Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Wu of Han respectively.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a 560 year name called Yuan Ding, which was changed because of getting this treasure tripod.
As for whether this treasure tripod is one of the nine tripods, no one can tell.
When Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty got it, the patterns and inscriptions on the tripod were gone, and no information could be found.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the capital was still in Chang'an, and this tripod was sent to the palace, and it has been kept until now.
In the last years of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, although there were wars and turmoil, no one took this tripod away, and ordinary people could not take it away.
As for smelting, even Dong Zhuo didn't have the guts to smelt a ritual vessel suspected to be one of the nine tripods.
"So that's it. The woman is really knowledgeable and talented." Lu Bu was very satisfied.
I have already used the Jiuding to sacrifice to the sky, even if it is only suspected, it is awesome enough, and Lu Bu's mood will naturally be happy.
But soon, Lu Bu's face darkened, and there was a two-level reversal.
"Crack!"
"boom!!!"
In the field, a wooden post on the shoulder of a sergeant suddenly broke.
Sixteen sergeants worked together, one of the wooden bars suddenly broke, and the tripod lost its balance in an instant and fell heavily on the ground.
The cauldron directly smashed the ground into cracks, but the sergeant responded quickly, and there were no casualties.
But now (aefb) is no longer a matter of casualties, but the cauldron fell to the ground, which is obviously not a good sign.
Before everyone could react, some of the people immediately started to fan the flames.
"If the ritual vessel falls, the sky will be furious, and it will be a disaster!"
"Qin Wangde is unworthy, and he will be punished by God!"
"It's not Liu, not the king, the former emperor of the Han Dynasty appeared, and the country's traitor is dead!"
All kinds of remarks that are not conducive to Lu Bu, fueled by people with good intentions, spread rapidly among the common people.
These people who hide among the common people and spread rumors are the hands of the imperial party officials.
There is no need for elites or elites, just order the words prepared in advance to the servants and servants of each family, and let them spread them after seeing the big tripod fall.
"General, the sudden fall of the sacrificial vessel may not be a good omen. Please take back your order, don't presume to become king, don't say that you didn't predict it!" Fu Wan followed the trend and came out with an aggressive tone.
"I also ask the general to take back the order, don't presume to be the king, don't say that the words are unpredictable!!!"
The few officials of the imperial party all followed behind Fu Wan, uttering words to force Lu Bu to end the coronation of the king.
"Wife, is this your method?" Lu Bu's voice was neither happy nor sad.
"Fengxian, listen to the old man's advice and stop." Cai Yong said in a deep voice, "Don't learn from Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo!"
"Hehe, I advised women to pay more attention to people's livelihood, and women have learned it." Lu Bu sneered: "Now they are manipulating public opinion and public opinion, trying to use public opinion to force me to back down?"
Lu Bu shook his head slowly, and said firmly: "There is no turning back when you shoot the bow!"
Under the leadership of Cai Yong, the officials of the imperial party used a method of four or two.
They have no soldiers, no food, no power, and any method of force will not work, so they can only outwit and use public opinion to coerce Lu Bu to back down. This is the only way imperial party officials can stop Lu Bu.
It has to be said that this did cause a lot of trouble for Lu Bu. At this moment, the people watching the ceremony were already making a fuss.
These people have never read a book, don't know a single word, and don't know anything about science. They are the most ignorant, and naturally they are the easiest to be manipulated, coerced, and used.
The imperial party let Baoding fall to the ground, creating an ominous omen, arousing the fear in the hearts of the people, and linking Lu Bu's proclaiming king with the ominous omen.
"What to do? What to do? God is angry."
"I don't think it's better for the general to be called king. When I was a general, things went well. Now I just wanted to be the king of Qin, but something went wrong. Forcibly claiming the king will definitely bring disasters."
"I heard that all the cattle have been killed, and there will be no way to cultivate the land in the coming year. This is a sign of disaster!"
For a while, the common people had everything they wanted to say. If Lu Bu forcibly proclaimed himself king at this moment, I don't know if it would cause the wrath of the heavens, but it would definitely cause resentment.
At that time, no matter what bad things happen in Guanzhong, the common people will blame Lu Bu for becoming king.
If the hen in the family does not lay eggs, Lu will not become king and cause disaster; if the rooster does not crow, Lu will not become king and cause disaster; the rain will be less in the coming year, and Lu will not become king and cause disaster; it will rain more in the coming year
Once Lu Bu forcibly becomes king at this time, no matter who is blamed in the future, he will be pinned on Lu Bu's head.
Over time, this will shake the foundation of Lu Bu's rule, and the people will resist Lu Bu's rule, and begin to look forward to another person in power.
"Fengxian, I know that you are in control of the power, but this situation cannot be resolved by force. No matter how many troops you have in your hands, it will not be able to stop you and the people's will." Cai Yong sighed: "Let go , you have done very well these years, can't you be a power minister for a lifetime?"
Lu Bu heard the kindness in Cai Yong's words, as long as Lu Bu retreats now and gives up the idea of being king, then Cai Yong will support Lu Bu as a minister in power, and he will hold the power for a lifetime. After Lu Bu dies, he can return to the Han Dynasty .
It is really not easy for Cai Yong, who is loyal to the Han Dynasty, to say these words.
"Woman, Zhao Ji is teaching me how to read recently." Lu Bu talked happily and said, "I was still reading Ban Gu's Han Shu not long ago."
"I have been in power for a lifetime, and finally died in a good manner, but what about my family? Won't they be liquidated?"
"I don't want to be Huo Guang!" Lu Bu sighed.
Cai Yong, who had read the history books thoroughly, changed his face when he heard the words, how could he not understand what Lu Bu meant.
Huo Guang had been a powerful minister all his life, and he was even able to abolish the emperor. He was buried as a courtier with the emperor's ceremony, ranking first among the heroes of the Qilin Pavilion.
And then? After Han Xuandi came to power, Huo Guang's family died.
"You can't go against it, let Feng first stop!" Cai Yong tried hard to persuade.
"Women say that force cannot solve the problem at hand, so I don't agree with you." Lu Bu dropped a sentence, and strode towards Yuan Ding. .
