Chapter 111: The Alliance on the Stage
Xiahou Dun came out of Jia Xu and went to the camp of Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie. After passing through layers of "defense", he met the monarch who was about to participate in the most magical alliance in history. Of course, he was just a nominal monarch.
Xiahou Dun looked at Liu Xie, who had been numb, and saluted very respectfully: "Your Majesty, let's see what you need. If the alliance is less than half an hour, the alliance will begin."
Seeing that Xiahou Dun had no chance to speak at all, Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, who was wearing a gorgeous crown robe, could only nod his head slightly to express his agreement. He was nearly forty years old and looked like a child who was not close to him.
Seeing that Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie cooperated so well, Xiahou Dun felt much more at ease. He couldn't help but be glad for this "poor person". He probably would be able to get rid of it soon...
Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun didn't stop for a long time, and he bowed without caring about whether Emperor Xian of Han had anything to say, so he turned around and left.
Only Liu Xie was left in the entire tent. At this time, he suddenly raised his head, his eyebrows were wide open, his hands were clenched hard, and he squeezed out from his teeth: "All the thieves are waiting for me!"
Liu Xie naturally did not dare to speak loudly, but his heart was filled with passion and was almost boiling. As the emperor, he had no dignity and was time to stop it!
Half an hour later, the envoys of the four countries met for the first time and symbolically exchanged national letters. After reciting them on the spot, the frames of the monarchs (entourists) of various countries began to move forward.
Then the musician played the elegant music, and Zhang Cang, the ritual lord, began to preside over the opening part of the etiquette. At this time, Qin Zheng and others also got off the carriage and accompanied the ceremonial guard to the altar of the alliance.
Then Zhang Cang, the ritualist, began to burn his watch and sacrifice to heaven. While introducing the family names of the monarchs (entourages), he asked them to come forward to salute.
Of course, not only the monarch himself was able to take office, but also a few personal guards were standing behind them at this time. There were only four people in the first row, including Qin Zheng, Zishou, Liu Xie and Sima Si.
Although they all stood in the most gorgeous formal outfits, the light they gave to the crowd below was completely different, and the whole thing was a mix of four styles.
Sima Si is just an envoy and a minister. It is not easy to represent the monarch, so he naturally cannot compare to the pomp and temperament of others. (In fact, Sima Yi deliberately showed weakness) can be ignored.
The remaining three are all real kings, but the gap between them is probably even bigger than Sima Si...
Qin Zheng borrowed Ying Zheng's skin and was naturally as powerful as a tiger, as a dragon, and was as powerful as an angry person. The son next to him was tall and mighty. He was also a handsome man when he was young, even if he was nearly 60 years old.
However, Qin Zheng's dress was made of black and crimson, and the black bird's warded dragon pattern was painted, which looked solemn and majestic.
The clothes that Prince Zhou received were traditionally white and purple-edged by merchants, and they were painted with black birds, but everyone except the merchants felt that this outfit was awkward, let alone the jade bird feathers on his head, which exuded a frivolous look.
If the difference between the two of them is in their dressing, then Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, would lose his energy.
As soon as the monarch at the end of the Han Dynasty was strong in literature and martial arts, he was displaced for many years after war, was thin in figure and physically incomparable.
Secondly, he never held real power. From the beginning of his succession to the present, he was walking on thin ice every day. The powerful ministers and warlords have changed one after another, but he is still a mascot and cannot have the aura of looking down on the world.
Of course there is another last reason. He was not too poor in political wisdom at this time, and he had already predicted that Cao Cao would let him go and participate in such an important alliance.
There are only two possibilities: either they are afraid of foreign enemies and know that they don’t have much time to return the power, or they are going to take action to solve him once and for all!
Liu Xie used his belt to know that the first situation was completely impossible, so he has actually stepped into the gates of hell with one foot...
Therefore, he thought a lot on the way he came and finally decided to do the best. When he came to power, he was the last time he made up his mind.
So he kept staring at the sight of the secret, trying to find an opportunity to talk to the monarchs of the Qin and Shang families, but the people below the audience seemed to be particularly nervous and never saw the world.
Zhang Cang was the chief of the Qin State's Censorship, and he wanted to fight for the position of leader of Qin Zheng, and even secretly plotted against both sides of the Han and Shang dynasties. Naturally, he was the first to shout Qin Zheng's title:
"The thirty-seven generations of the Great Qin Dynasty, the emperors of the Xia Dynasty, and the Zheng surname of Ying, and he advised the gods of heaven and earth.
The 29th generation of the Han Dynasty, Liu's surname, was a great king, and he advised the gods of heaven and earth.
The four generations of the Great Wei Dynasty, Sima Si, the envoy of the Cao surnamed Fang, paid tribute to the gods of heaven and earth.
The 32-generation emperor of the Da Shang Dynasty, the lord of the Fang Kingdom, had his son's surname, and he would like to pay tribute to the gods of heaven and earth."
Zhang Cang's words were naturally very meaningful. Qin Zheng naturally emphasized his status, and letting King Zhou do the end also echoed the beginning and end, which was considered to divide the two most important positions.
Then he put Qin's nominal younger brother Wei in front and Han Xian, who was "close to Shang", further elevating Qin's position as leader.
In fact, these monarchs and envoys have their own ideas. Although Qin Zheng was not very satisfied, they did not mean to turn against each other on the spot.
However, Liu Xie knew that the person coming was Ying Zheng, and King Zhou was quite happy, because now the so-called ignorant monarch is no longer important, and it is most important to be able to fight!
But they did not expect that Xiahou Yuan, the pro-Cao envoy who had been controlled in the Wei team, secretly escaped and changed into a soldier's clothes.
When he heard the sound of "Han Liu Xie", his eyes were almost glaring out. How could he not know the emperor of the Han Dynasty when he came over at the end of the Han Dynasty?
And wasn’t the one standing among the noble envoys not far behind Emperor Xian of Han? Isn’t it his cousin Xiahou Dun? The people here are all from their Cao family!
Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears and his body trembled slightly. As a result, he forgot the reality he was disguising, which caused several soldiers to keep looking at him.
On the other side, Zhang Cang had already made the next step, and he solemnly passed a tray with a sharp dagger on it.
Zhang Cang shouted: "Please give me the blood to join forces!"
When I heard this sentence, the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, because several families all chose this time point and implemented their own plans!
So when Qin Zheng, who was confident, took the lead in cutting his palm and dripping blood into the ritual vessel containing wine, and looked at Zhang Cang meaningfully, Xiahou Dun also began to move slowly and winked at the personal soldiers who were monitoring Liu Xie.
