Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist
Chapter 193 The God of Thunder
The suburban sacrificial system in the Han Dynasty began with Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
On the basis of the four emperors of Bai, Qing, Huang, and Chi, Liu Bang mythized himself, added the black emperor, and honored the five emperors. Only in terms of sacrifices, he still followed the Qin system.
Until the first year of Yuan Ding, because "the five emperors are the assistants of Taiyi", it was said that the sacrifice of Taiyi was superior to the five gods.
For Yan Qing, who had only briefly read "Book of Feng Chan", just receiving content about the belief of gods these days was enough to make him feel dizzy.
Fortunately, Tai Changqing and Liu Lingcheng, who are his officials, do these things. Apart from them, the most tiring one is probably the emperor Liu Xie who is the only protagonist.
Even Yan Gong and Lu Bu have very limited things to do, let alone a mere big honglu.
Without Lv Bu's troubles, although Yan Qing didn't really get enough sleep, she was safe and dreamless, and her energy was well nourished.
What surprised him was that Lu Bu, who had stayed up all night, could still maintain such a radiant look.
If it's just for one night, of course it's not worth his fuss.But he couldn't be more aware of how noisy Lu Bu has been these past few days. Where did this energy come from?
In the middle of the night, they got up, and the two of them changed into the crown clothes under the service of the maidservants. Before walking out hand in hand, Yan Qing glanced at Lu Bu who held his head high and chested out, and asked softly, "Do you want to yawn? Do you want to yawn?" Fight now, when it comes to the ceremony, you will be among the officials and stand out, so you shouldn't be disrespectful."
Lu Bu snorted: "You can rest assured about Chongguang, but if you don't sleep all night, Bu is not so weak."
Yan Qing sized him up suspiciously: "All right."
After receiving Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others, Guo Jia also honestly gave a very high evaluation of Yan Qing's attire—it wasn't that he said any good words, but Guang's eyes opened wide. The dazed appearance with the sparkling eyes already gave Yan Qing goosebumps all over his body.
Being stepped on by Yan Qing indiscriminately, Guo Jiafang recovered from Jia Xu's warning gaze, and looked at him with a smile while stroking his chin.
Yan Qing was swept away by the meaningful eyes of this rare and well-dressed prodigal son, and his scalp became more numb. He couldn't help but waved his hand in front of his eyes, and calmly said: "Wake up. Are you so exaggerated?"
Guo Jia clicked his tongue and said: "My son said, I have lived in the orchid room for a long time without smelling its fragrance, so I really don't deceive me. Although I know Chongguang has the appearance of a heavenly man, I was used to it before, so I didn't feel surprised. Come to the Dao Jinghong, it’s really elegant.”
Yan Qing was dissatisfied and said: "How can you just take the surface and make nonsense explanations?" What did Confucius mean?
Guo Jiacai ignored him, and just continued to indulge himself to appreciate the unique beauty in this world, which is enough to fascinate all living beings. After embracing the beauty, Fang sighed softly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a beautiful woman in the world, but she is so beautiful. In troubled times, and with extremely clumsy eyesight, to be so rude to an old man who doesn't know how to appreciate flowers and customs, is really a waste of everything."
Yan Qing's eyebrows twitched, and the corners of his lips twitched: "To be honest, a wise man like Feng Xiao who is so talented, rich in education, but not very solid in skin, that old man can beat ten of them with a single stroke. So with these words, But don't say that in front of him."
Guo Jia glanced at him gloomyly, but rarely retorted, as if it was such a regrettable thing, he sighed for a long time, and then returned to normal under Jia Xu's unbearable scolding.
Liu Xie had moved into the fasting palace a few days ago to take a bath and fast, and yesterday, he went to the sacrificial place to inspect the sacrifices and sacrificial utensils.
After the fourth watch, under the guidance of the minister of ceremonies, he formally entered the Temple of Heaven, and at the same time, the fasting bell was rung, telling all the ministers to take their positions immediately and perform their duties.
Since his every move would fall into the eyes of everyone, Lu Bu could only resist the urge to turn his head and peek at Yan Qing, stared straight ahead expressionlessly, and walked slowly, followed by a group of ministers who bowed their heads humbly.
When they walked to the altar, Yan Qing finally saw clearly that the outer was covered with a big fur coat, the inner was wearing a crown with twelve coats of arms, the upper and lower crowns, and the twelve crowns on the front and back of the head, which were hanging white jade beads. With a big gui in his waist and a zhen gui in his hand, he stood facing west, with an unprecedented vigor on his face, proudly looking down on Liu Xie, who was the minister.
Because Yan Qing deliberately 'cut corners', the two high walls surrounding the altar were removed.
The common people didn't dare to get close, they just knelt down in awe of the body, watched solemnly, and worshiped the king.
Among the royal family who were born to have everything and dominate the world, Liu Xie fully deserves the description of "ill-fated".His biological mother, Wang Meiren, came from a famous family and was favored by the emperor. Because of this, she was jealous of Empress He and caused her death.His father, Emperor Ling, was arrogant, extravagant, fatuous and incompetent. He favored and trusted treacherous ministers. He knew that Empress He did it, but because of the eunuch's intercession, he resolutely pardoned her.
If it hadn't been for the protection of Empress Dowager Dong, Liu Xie might not have escaped from the clutches and died early.Empress He didn't get complacent for long, but Dong Zhuo, who poisoned her and Liu Bian, was more vicious than tiger and wolf.
And Lu Bu, who saved him from the fire and water, and made him always rely on trust and entrust him with a generous entrustment, is the deepest hidden jackal.
Liu Xie's body trembled uncontrollably when he thought of the days when blood flowed into rivers and wailing was everywhere.
In any case, no matter how ambitious Lv Bu is to usurp power, seize the throne, and privately plunder the power of the court, he is still the one who has the blood of the real dragon flowing in his body and continues the great Han Dynasty.
There were thousands of thoughts in Liu Xie's mind, and he didn't know that among the ministers with low eyebrows and narrow eyes, the most beautiful and eye-catching person lightly twitched his fingers in his sleeves, and there were shining golden dust that no one else could see hit him.
The usage of the "Lightning" card in the game is actually different from the one Yan Qing owns.It stands to reason that it should only be used on itself, and it will be moved to the next player until the end of the round and no judgment is made, waiting for the settlement in turn until the unlucky one who won the bid appears among them.
But the one in Yan Qing's hand will only stay on the same target from beginning to end.
Even if Liu Xie is very lucky and doesn't explode in the short term, he is doomed to escape in the end, and it will explode sooner or later.
Because of this trump card in hand, Yan Qing acted so confidently in front of Lu Bu and the others.
When it came to the step of using the cards, Yan Qing was very careful, for fear that a hand would shake and hang the lightning bolt on his head, which would be like lifting a rock to drop himself in the foot.
When the card disappeared, it was quiet, but when the "Lightning" card actually fell on Liu Xie, a round black ball began to form on the top of his crown, hanging in the air.
Yan Qing thought that was it, but unexpectedly, a change was induced in the world.
There is no cloud in the sky, only a dark cloud of small size appears strangely in the sky that becomes brighter and brighter with the dawn of dawn.
The surroundings were quiet and windless, but it was flying fast, and soon attracted the attention of ordinary people below. When they saw it rushing for so long, it finally stopped directly above the Son of Heaven without hesitation, and remained motionless. Unable to restrain the fear in my heart any longer, there was an uproar.
At first the commotion was not too loud, but it was completely covered by the elegant music played in unison, and the hymns sung loudly by the praise officer, so Liu Xie, who was in the center of the altar, couldn't hear it.
Taichang, who was concentrating on presiding over the ceremony, didn't notice it, but the attendants noticed it one by one—the cloud, which was pitch black with an obvious ominous atmosphere, was really eye-catching, as long as you looked up, you could see it. Be clear.
Is it a coincidence?
They held illusions, kept silent, and continued the ceremony with sullen faces.
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is so important, if you want to report it rashly and interrupt the ceremony, His Majesty will definitely be furious with Longyan for this ominous omen, if they attack them, the head of the project will be lost.
Although it didn't take long, almost everyone saw the terrifying and unpredictable black cloud, and while they were stunned, they all tacitly pretended to be deaf and dumb, turning a blind eye.
Lu Bu, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu, who had been secretly looking around and listening to all directions, naturally noticed it from the very beginning.
At any rate, they got some inside information from Yan Qing's mouth, and at the moment they were not surprised or panicked by this vision like other officials, but were calm and clear "so it is".
And what completely shattered the hearts of all officials was that after welcoming the emperor, Liu Xie personally brought the raccoon to be sacrificed to the heavens. I saw that the black cloud that was motionless just now followed Liu Xie's movements, moving over little by little, and moving back little by little.
It was also the first time for Liu Xie to preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky. He was nervous and extremely focused, which made him miss the look of fear on the faces of the people around him.But the movements of the people below were so loud that he couldn't ignore it.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and glared at Taichang who didn't do his job well.
A drop of cold sweat slipped from the belated forehead of Tai Changqing, his lips moved a little, and finally, under Liu Xie's suspicious and scrutinizing eyes, he knelt down tremblingly: "Your Majesty atones, my minister——"
Before he could start to defend in trepidation, Yan Qing, who had been watching Liu Xie's head from the beginning to the end, the black ball that no one except him could see, saw a ray of golden light suddenly emerge from it. , Immediately the whole ball trembled violently and began to expand rapidly.
This is going to hit!
As soon as this thought flashed through Yan Qing's mind, there was a loud bang, and the silver lightning that had been accumulating in the dark clouds for a long time also fell from the sky without hesitation.
Compared with the deafening thunder that went ahead, the piercing sound of falling lightning was really not a big movement.
Yan Qing caught it clearly, and then watched it piercing the quiet and clean sky intently, like the divine punishment of punishing evil and warding off evil, falling directly on the unsuspecting Liu Xie.
Liu Xie didn't even have time to let out a pitiful scream, he was hacked into a bloody mess, and fell down on the spot.
And after the lightning was struck, the black cloud that announced the completion of the mission also quietly dispersed, restoring the calmness of the blue sky.
The bottom is in total chaos.
"His Majesty!!!"
This god thunder and ghost lightning with the power of heaven and earth actually came to strike the "Son of Heaven". The ministers were stunned for a few breaths, and they didn't even have time to feel frightened by the meaning behind it. They just recovered from the shock. When he was overwhelmed, he no longer cared about the rules, and rushed up.
The accompanying imperial physician was not unhappy, but Yan Qing, who hadn't been involved in the turmoil, only took a few glances from a distance, and he was absolutely sure that the effect of the lightning was not compromised in the slightest.
It also means that Liu Xie, who has been hit hard, must be hopeless.
Even if Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, who replaced the imperial physicians with their rejuvenating hands, could not change this fact.
The power of lightning is enough to clear the blood bar of the pampered and thin-skinned little emperor. Even if he is not killed on the spot, he will be bloody and dying, and the medicine will be ineffective.
The only person capable of saving him is Yan Qing.
To be precise, it is the "Peach" brand in Yan Qingxiu.
Everyone surrounded the emperor. Naturally, no one noticed Lu Bu who also didn't approach, but stayed in place.
He hurried to Yan Qing's side, and asked in a low voice, "Take advantage of the opportunity to withdraw?"
Yan Qing said without hesitation: "Of course not."
The reason why he hid the trump card of "Lightning" so deeply that even Zuo Ci, who came to trouble him last time, failed to force it out, must have another meaning.
I worked hard to design today's big show, and I have prepared for it for so long, not just to let Liu Xie die easily.
Letting the little emperor be punished by Tianlei in full view, losing popular support, and ruining his reputation is just a necessary prerequisite.
Lu Bu was confused: "Huh?"
Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other quickly, feeling a little bit, and looked at Yan Qing at the same time.
Yan Qing nodded slightly at them, took Lu Bu's hand, and took a step ahead: "It's time for us to pass."
On the basis of the four emperors of Bai, Qing, Huang, and Chi, Liu Bang mythized himself, added the black emperor, and honored the five emperors. Only in terms of sacrifices, he still followed the Qin system.
Until the first year of Yuan Ding, because "the five emperors are the assistants of Taiyi", it was said that the sacrifice of Taiyi was superior to the five gods.
