On September 10, the second year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Bu abolished the puppet Han regime established by Cao Cao in Yanzhou and re-appointed Yanzhou Mu and Xuzhou Mu.

On September 20th, Xun Yu, an old minister of Cao Cao who was in Runan County, persuaded his younger brother Xun Chen to descend to the Tang Dynasty.

On October 22, Cheng Yu, who was stationed in Nanyang County, was defeated by Taishi Ci and committed suicide by the Han River. Nanyang, Jingzhou, was also included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

On October 25th, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao surrendered in Juzhou!

Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou, refused to obey the Tang policy and raised his troops to resist. In December, he was destroyed by the Tang army. The three Yi tribes and their subordinates were all executed, and Jiaozhou returned to the Tang Dynasty!

Liu Bei hesitated again and again, and finally decided to lead troops to the Indochina Peninsula to establish a new regime. Zhang Mo gave him financial and technical support within his capabilities. As a condition, the country he established must be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute every year!

In the spring of the third year of Wude, Cao Cao led 30,000 prisoners and 5,000 soldiers out of Yumen Pass westward, crossed the Tarim Basin along the Tarim River, and occupied a city at the junction of Dawan and Kangju.

In August of the third year of Takeori, Lü Bu appointed Gan Ning as commander-in-chief of the navy to defeat Wu, and Cai Mao as deputy commander. He commanded 100,000 navy troops to surround Soochow from the east and west. He also ordered Zhao Yun, commander of the Xuzhou Military Region, to lead 30,000 infantry and cavalry by land, advancing both by land and water.

Conquer Soochow.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu wanted to mobilize all the troops in Soochow to resist. However, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and others persuaded him to surrender on the grounds of the general trend and Shi Xie's experience, and disputes arose within Soochow.

In November, Sun Ce led 3,000 navy troops to attack the Tang army's military port with fire. However, Gan Ning found out and failed. Sun Ce was stabbed in the cheek and died of his injuries the next day. His younger brother Sun Quan succeeded him and led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

.

Since then, the world has returned to unity!

…………

On the seventh day of April in the fourth year of Wude, the warm spring breeze blew across every inch of the Tang Dynasty from south to north. Thousands of peach trees in Luoyang City bloomed in the spring breeze, and pink peach blossoms covered the nine-story sacrificial temple in the east of the city.

The Temple of Heaven is half-enclosed in the middle, and a red carpet more than a hundred feet long is laid from the east gate to the west of the Temple of Heaven.

Today is the day when Lu Bu officially ascended the throne as emperor. In front of the Xuanwu Gate of Luoyang Palace, the couple took a six-horse golden car to the Temple of Heaven. The team accompanying them along the way was not the cumbersome honor guard used during the emperor's sacrifice, but two thousand flying bear troops and two thousand golden eagle guards.

The guards on the left and right, the mounts are all black horses, matched with the black armor of the Tang army, solemn and solemn.

The middle road was surrounded by people watching the excitement, including small and medium-sized officials and their families from inside and outside Luoyang; envoys from various countries in the Western Regions, Xianbei, and Goguryeo; people's representatives from various villages around Luoyang, and those heading towards the Temple of Heaven were all from the Tang Dynasty.

Most of the founding officials were present, except for a few who really couldn't leave.

The civil servants and military generals were arranged on both sides of the Temple of Heaven, ranked based on their accumulated achievements over the years. The first among the civil servants was undoubtedly Jia Xu, followed by Du Ji, Chang Lin, Ju Sue, Tian Feng, Xu You, Xu Shu, Feng Ji,

trial matching,

Xun Chen, Fazheng, Duan Xuan, Wang Ding, Sima Yi, Guo Jia, Chen Gong and other veterans of the Tang Dynasty, followed by Sun Quan, Xun Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Kuai Liang, who have been newly promoted in the past two years.

Kuai Yue, Yi Ji and others.

There is no one in the first place on the side of the military generals, among them Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Taishi Ci are in the front, followed by Qu Yi's eldest son Qu Gang, Xu Rong, Du Fei, Guan Hai, Gan Ning, Gongsun Du, Han Hao, Ma Chao, Wei Xu, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, etc., Cai Mao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, etc.

Liu Biao stood alone on the lower left side near the Temple of Heaven, slightly lower than Lu Gan on the right, to show the Tang emperor's respect for him.

As the sun rises in the east, the emperor's six-horse carriage arrives in front of the Temple of Heaven. Hua Xiong and Xu Chu each lead the Flying Bear Army and the Golden Eagle Guard to line up around the Temple of Heaven. The two of them stand like two stone lions, one on the left and one on the right. In front of the steps.

The Jingen car stopped slowly. Lu Bu got out of the car first and waved Wang Yi to get out. He walked to the other side to help Zhang Mo get out of the car.

As the ceremonial officer at the enthronement ceremony, Cai Yong bowed and raised his hands, "Your Majesty, please go to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth!"

Lu Bu nodded slightly, still holding Zhang Mo's hand, and said, "Madam, come with me!"

Zhang Mo was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Cai Yong already reminded him, "Your Majesty, after the enthronement ceremony, the ceremony of canonizing the queen and the prince will begin!"

"I know!" Lu Bu replied lightly and took his wife directly to the Temple of Heaven. Zhang Mo asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

"I want you to be crowned at the same time as me!"

"What kind of crown? Are you crazy? There are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. Just forget it on weekdays. How can you be so playful today?"

Lu Bu ignored her struggle and led her to the first step. He turned around and looked at the civil and military officials below, and asked in a loud voice, "I want the princess to be crowned at the same time today. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone was stunned, knowing that this king of theirs had never paid attention to etiquette, but today, on such an important day, he acted so willfully. What does it mean for two people to be crowned at the same time?

"Your Majesty, this must not be done. It is inconsistent with etiquette!" The first person to object was Cai Yong, and then Yang Biao also stood up to object. No one among the old officials of the Tang Dynasty said a word, because each of them knew very well that this Half of the Tang Dynasty was conquered by the princess. Moreover, regardless of military achievements, she could make the Tang country's economy achieve rapid improvement in just a few years, and they had no reason to object.

She has never been the woman to stand behind the king!

"Why not?" Lu Bu said loudly, "Without the princess, there would be no Tang Dynasty today, and there would be no King of the Tang Dynasty. She is equal to the emperor in our Tang Dynasty!"

"I support the queen, and your majesty will be crowned at the same time!" The first one to stand up and speak was Xu You. He was afraid that others wouldn't hear, so he shouted again with a louder voice.

"I also support it!"

"I also support it!" Guan Hai and Xu Chu, who were in the audience and on the stage, said at the same time.

"I also support the queen, and your majesty will be crowned at the same time!" Jia Xu said loudly.

"I also support it!"

"…………"

The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty all agreed.

In fact, no matter whether they agree or not, Lu Bu must let his wife stand by his side today, instead of just looking up at him from below like others. Therefore, without waiting for the ministers to agree, he has led Zhang Mo step by step to the ninth level of the Temple of Heaven. Cai Yong sighed helplessly and could only follow him. He stood on the fourth step and read the edict of enthronement. Then Lu Bu and Zhang Mo jointly offered sacrifices to the Emperor and the Empress!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The couple both wore black robes with red edges. Lu Bu had a gold silk nine-clawed dragon embroidered on it, and Zhang Mo had a gold silk nine-tailed phoenix embroidered on her back.

The golden dragons and golden phoenixes appear side by side in front of everyone's eyes,

The golden dragon hovered over the Gong robe from bottom to top, while the golden phoenix spread its wings from top to bottom. At this time, a red sun in the east just rose between the two of them, but it was like a dragon and phoenix holding the rising sun, and there was another

Countless colorful clouds reflect it, like gods descending to earth.

At this moment, all the subjects became more and more convinced of the legend of the reincarnation of the Wuqu Fairy. From then on, the dragon and phoenix pattern became the greatest auspiciousness in the Tang Dynasty. Especially at the time of wedding, the newlyweds would embroider the dragon, phoenix and the rising sun on their wedding clothes, which symbolized the beauty of the couple.

After a hundred years of good marriage, the family is prosperous.

After the memorial ceremony was over, an attendant brought up two trays. One tray held the twelve crowns worn by the emperor, and the other held the phoenix crown worn by the queen. Twelve strings of pearl tassels were also added. The main part was white, and occasionally

It is embellished with rare black and purple pearls, and there are two slightly larger beads on each ear of the ribbon.

"When did you secretly let someone do this?" Zhang Mo asked in a low voice, looking at the crown that was similar to an emperor's crown.

Lu Bu picked up the phoenix crown and put it on her bun, and said, "When the palace made the crown, I asked the craftsmen to add it. In addition to this, I also had someone build a palace at the hot spring in Lingquan Village. It is a secret only for the two of us.

base."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mo couldn't help but think of what he said in Lingquan Village, that he would take her all over the world and see the most beautiful scenery in the world. At that time, they naively thought that they could leave all the trivial matters to their son when the world was settled.

Now it seems that this wish will never be realized in this life. The country is newly established and there are too many things waiting for them to do. Even if the power is gradually delegated to her son in the future, she will not be able to travel around the world with confidence. On the one hand, she is afraid of losing her son.

Although her life was short-lived, she still wanted to continue to expand her territory.

Regardless of whether this is a parallel time and space, she wants to do her best to expand the territory of China, gain more living space for Chinese descendants, and spread Chinese civilization all over the world.

Lu Bu carefully straightened her hair that was blown by the wind on her temples, then picked up the emperor's crown and handed it to her. He knelt down and half-crouched, "I would also like to ask the queen to crown me!"

Zhang Mo came back to his senses, carefully put the Emperor's Crown on his bun, took the hosta from the plate and pinned it in the middle, and laughed in a low voice, "It feels like a wedding!"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Just think that we have held the wedding in the next life in advance!"

"If the system can really take me back to modern times, I hope it can take you with it!"

"A must!"

Lu Bu held her hand under his clothes. At this moment, there was a sudden movement below the Temple of Heaven. A peach blossom near the Temple of Heaven started to tremble without wind. Then, its roots slowly protruded from the soil.

, it seems like something below is pushing it up.

Lu Bu ordered his guards to dig up and have a look. After digging for a while, a guard came over and said with surprise and excitement, "Your Majesty, it's a big happy event, a huge happy event. What's coming up from the top of the peach blossom tree is a long-lost one."

The jade seal of the country!"

After Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the imperial seal disappeared. Yang Biao once sent people to search Luoyang but could not find it. Unexpectedly, it was buried in the soil outside the city. Everyone couldn't help but wonder if it was too late when the capital was moved.

In a hurry, it fell on the road and was buried in the soil.

Today's jade seal happened to appear on the day when Lu Bu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, so except for a few people who knew the inside story, everyone present was surprised.

Someone had already presented the jade seal to the Temple of Heaven, and an attendant immediately brought water to wash it. After washing it, they saw that the front was engraved with the characters "Ordered by Heaven to live long and prosperous", and the ring was engraved with the "pattern of two dragons playing with pearls".

The gold inlay was confirmed by Cai Yong, and it was undoubtedly the jade seal passed down from the country.

Xu You shouted at the right time, "The dragon and phoenix support the sun, the auspicious clouds are auspicious, and the jade seal reappears. Your majesty is destined to return!"

As he spoke, he fell to his knees and shouted, "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty! Long live the Queen! No, long live the Queen!"

The ministers, soldiers, and the people watching from a distance reacted and knelt down one after another, shouting three times, "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Queen!"

The sound went from near to far, extending from the foot of the Temple of Heaven to the Middle East Gate, and then spread to Luoyang City and Beimang Mountain. There were countless echoes that shook the world and could not dissipate for a long time!

The couple stood side by side on the high platform, and various past events in the past and present appeared in front of their eyes, including the escape from Chang'an, the hanging at Baimenlou, the smoke everywhere, the rolling iron cavalry, the humiliation and burden-bearing, the arrogant look, the young storyteller in the restaurant, and the escape from Mobei.

A woman has the helplessness of being unable to escape her fate, the melancholy of worrying about gains and losses, the strategist, and the guidance...

The last scenes are all before our eyes, the flying peach blossoms, the green smokey willows, the rushing rivers, the majestic mountains, thousands of miles of beautiful scenery, spring is always there, and the millennium of glory now is better than the past!
