Spring is passing and early summer is approaching. While Yang Qing is busy in Longyou, reorganizing the government, promoting agriculture and commerce, comforting the people, and recuperating, people in Soochow as far away as Wuchang are also making intensive preparations for Sun Quan to proclaim himself emperor.

On the third day of April, the magistrate of Wuchang County reported that many people saw the phoenix in Dongshan outside the city. Two days later, Zhu Huan reported that the navy repeatedly found yellow dragons while patrolling the river. For several days in a row, all counties and counties in Soochow

Many strange things happen, and even in remote places like Jiaozhou, auspicious things come to the world.

On the ninth day of April, Gu Yong, Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin and other civil and military ministers jointly submitted a memorial, saying that the phoenix coming recently and the yellow dragon appearing frequently were a sign of good fortune. Sun Quan, king of Wu, defeated Tang Yu, and the sun and moon were combined tomorrow, so he could ascend the throne.

, in order to comply with the destiny of heaven and comply with people's hearts.

After making three concessions, Sun Quan scheduled the enthronement ceremony to be held on Bingyin Day and sent Taichang Chen Hua to build an altar in the southern suburbs of Wuchang.

On April 13th, Bingyin Day, the sky was clear and the sun was beautiful and the wind was gentle. Sun Quan, surrounded by a large number of civil and military officials and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, arrived in the southern suburbs. He looked at the three-story altar and couldn't help but feel excited and have mixed feelings.

, recalling the hardships and obstacles I experienced in the first half of my life, my thoughts were ups and downs like waves, which really made me feel a lot.

Since Sun Ce was assassinated in the fifth year of Jian'an, it has been twenty-nine years since Sun Quan took over the legacy of his father and brother. During this period, he conquered Jiangxia, beheaded Huang Zu, fought in Chibi, retreated from Cao Cao, attacked Jingzhou, captured Guan Yu, burned Yiling, and defeated Liu Bei.

Zhang Liao's unparalleled feats include repeatedly attacking Hefei but not being able to return it. His army of 100,000 was defeated by Zhang Liao's 800 men, and he became a vassal and paid tribute to Cao Pi.

Although there were gains and losses, in the end there were more than losses. As a result, Soochow under the leadership of Sun Quan expanded from the six counties in Jiangdong to today's three states, becoming the second largest power in the world.

Now that Sun Quan is finally reaching the pinnacle of his career as an emperor, if his father Sun Jian and his brother Sun Cequan know about it, they will definitely feel happy. After all, Sun Quan has not let down Zhang Zhao and other senior ministers, has lived up to his brother's trust before his death, and has not humiliated him.

The reputation of the Sun family in Jiangdong.

At this moment, the auspicious time chosen by Taichang Temple has not yet arrived. Sun Quan, Gu Yong, Lu Xun and others were resting and chatting under the altar.

While talking with the ministers, although Sun Quan appeared extremely calm on the surface, anyone who saw the faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth knew in his heart that he was extremely happy today.

In fact, this is exactly the case. At this time, Sun Quan was full of ambition, high-spirited, and could not hide the excitement in his brows.

However, when he saw Chen Zhen, the Han envoy who was chatting happily with Zhuge Jin not far away, the joy in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot, because he suddenly remembered that although the imperial title was also the title used by ancient emperors, it was still inferior to

Although the title of emperor is noble, there is still a trace of regret about what happened today.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Chen Zhen with a sinister look and sneered in his heart: "Hmph, for now, let's betray Zhuge Kongming to save face. When we conquer the Central Plains in the future, I will definitely be on equal footing with Liu Chan's son.

No, Liu Chan's son is a junior, how can he have the same status as me? From now on, there can only be one emperor under the sky, and that is me, Sun Quan."

Chen Zhen suddenly felt a cold gaze coming from behind him. His expression remained unchanged and he continued to talk to Zhuge Jin about interesting things about Shu. However, he glanced back from the corner of his eye and noticed that Sun Quan had a different look on his face. He was shocked and confused, but in the blink of an eye,

Sun Quan returned to smiling and kindly, as if he had seen something wrong.

"Is it not Sun Quan who looked at you just now but someone else? Huh, no matter if it is him or not, you must be very energetic today, and you must not act awkwardly and humiliate the majesty of the Han Dynasty." Chen Zhen reminded himself secretly.

Last month, Fei Yi was sent back to Shu to report the results of the negotiations to the court. Not long after, Chen Zhen, who stayed in Wuchang to continue negotiating with Zhuge Jin and others, received Zhuge Liang's strategy for dividing the world's territory with Soochow.

Because Fei Yi had other duties and would not return eastward, Zhuge Liang appointed Chen Zhen as his envoy, fully responsible for the negotiations with Soochow, and congratulated Sun Quan on behalf of the Jihan court on his proclaimed emperor.

Of course, today Chen Zhen is not only attending Sun Quan's enthronement ceremony as a foreign envoy, but he also has another important task, which is to supervise Sun Quan's fulfillment of his promise to only proclaim himself emperor, but not to become emperor, and to prevent Sun Quan from acting arrogantly.

Behavior.

However, when Chen Zhen discovered that the chariots and horses used by Sun Quan today, the flags and ceremonial guards, and the crowns and attire were all regulated by the emperor, although he was extremely dissatisfied, due to the alliance between the two countries, he had to swallow his anger and keep quiet.

However, if Sun Quan still acts arrogantly during the most sacred time of worshiping heaven, he will definitely not sit back and ignore it anymore, but will stand up to criticize and correct him.

"Even if we risk our lives, we must maintain the dignity of the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy." Chen Zhen secretly made up his mind.

After a while, Gu Yong came out from his seat. First, he bowed to Sun Quan on behalf of the other ministers and said: "The auspicious time has come. Please go to the altar to offer sacrifices to heaven and ascend the throne to announce to the world."

"Please, Your Majesty, come to the altar to offer sacrifices and ascend to the throne!" Then, Lu Xun and others echoed in unison.

At the invitation of the ministers, Sun Quan slowly walked towards the altar and climbed the steps step by step. At this time, he should have been concentrating on worshiping God, but suddenly he thought of two old friends.

"Cao Mengde, Liu Xuande, have you seen that I, Sun Quan, have finally achieved imperial status today and will never be lower than you again?

As for your descendants who are not as talented as you two, they are definitely no match for me. I will deal with them one by one. The three of us have been fighting with each other for many years, but in the end, I, Sun Quan, had the last laugh. This is really destiny!"

Thinking like this, Sun Quan slowly climbed to the top of the altar, took the sacrificial inscription from Chen Hua who had been waiting there early, and excitedly read aloud: "I dare to use Xuan Mu to declare to the emperor:

Zuo of the Han Dynasty was weakened, the whole world was relaxed, and the country fell apart. The evil minister Cao Pi then seized the artifact, and Pi Zirui succeeded him as the emperor, and his reputation was corrupt and the system was in chaos.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Quan was born in the southeast, met with destiny, inherited Qian and served as an army, and aspired to a peaceful world.

The people in charge of the city thought that God's will belonged to Wu, and people's hearts were submissive, and their energy was in the southeast, and they looked forward to it.

Xiu Zhengjiarui, there are many things before and after, and I have to accept it. I am afraid of the destiny and dare not disobey. I would like to choose the first day to go to the altar to burn sacrifices and ascend to the throne. Only you have the gods to feast on you, and there are Wu on your left and right. Yongsui Tianji."

After reading the memorial text, Chen Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief under the altar. Sun Quan's enthronement edict was quite in compliance with the rules. There was almost no violation of rules. It seemed that everyone in Soochow still knew the importance.

Although they acted recklessly in matters such as flags and ceremonials, they could still maintain restraint in the most important heaven-sacrifice document. In this way, a dispute was avoided, which made Chen Zhen feel much more relaxed.

Chen Zhen didn't know that Sun Quan's enthronement edict not only showed restraint, but compared with the original article in history, it simply gave Ji Han a lot of face.

In the original history, Sun Quan's enthronement edict began by saying that Han Zuo was dead, his strength was exhausted, and heaven had abandoned the Han Dynasty. Because there was no master in the world, the emperor's position was vacant. Sun Quan had no choice but to agree to the invitation of the officials and the people to take the throne. .

Nowadays, Sun Quan neither calls him emperor in the memorial text, nor does he mention vague things like Qi number. He only vaguely mentions that Han Zuo was weak, which is much more euphemistic and concessionary than the original history.

However, this is not because Sun Quan is kind-hearted. It is actually the result of Ji Han's greatly enhanced strength in this life. Without strong strength, no matter how clever the two-pronged strategy Yang Qing comes up with, it may not be able to prevent Sun Quan from becoming the emperor. .

After the sacrifice to heaven was completed, Gu Yong led all the officials to respectfully present the seal and ribbon. Sun Quan took it and placed it on the altar. He also received eight kinds of courtesy from the officials and officially ascended the throne. Gu Yong then invited officials, big and small, to worship at the altar. Everyone came to the altar to worship. Long live the call, the sound shakes the whole world.

Then, Chen Zhen, the Han envoy, a group of barbarian princes, and Baiyue Qushuai successively presented gifts to express their congratulations. Sun Quan ordered Dahong Pei Xuan to accept them one by one, and gave gifts in return on the spot.
