Volume 1 Jiangdong Fengyun Chapter 19: Purple Air Comes from the East, a Great Sage is Born
Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Xu County, Xuchang City, a big event happened today.
Not long ago, Li Jue and Guo Si, who had held the emperor hostage in Guanzhong, had a falling out in Chang'an . With the assistance of Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and others, Emperor Xian took the opportunity to flee eastward with all the officials and issued an edict to all the princes to come to his aid.
Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, seized the opportunity and rescued the emperor in the Luoyang area. He also petitioned the emperor to move to Xuchang on the grounds that Luoyang was in ruins.
After Dong Zhuo's fire, the old capital Luoyang was indeed in ruins, so Emperor Xian accepted Cao Cao's suggestion.
The emperor and all the officials came to Cao Cao’s base camp - Xucheng !
Xu County was originally the county seat of Yingchuan. As Cao Cao's heartland, it had always been well managed. Although it was not as prosperous as Luoyang in the past, it did not embarrass the emperor and officials.
The most important thing is... Emperor Xian was very pleased with Cao Cao's attitude. At least for now, Emperor Xian did not find that Cao Cao had done anything inappropriate.
Moreover, after arriving in Xucheng, Cao Cao had been busy making arrangements. He renamed Xu County as "Xu Du", presided over the capital relocation ceremony for Emperor Xian, and changed the reign title to get rid of many unlucky things.
Today is the first day of the official announcement of the name change to "Jian'an", and this year will also be the first year of Jian'an.
The common people of Xucheng... no, it should be said that they were the people of Xudu. Before they knew what was going on, they found themselves under the feet of the emperor.
But before they had time to get excited, some unhappy things happened - Emperor Xian was not just one person, there were also hundreds of officials and their families...
With so many "powerful and wealthy" people pouring in at once, it is inevitable that some of them have been suppressed for a long time by the likes of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and they can't wait to experience the feeling of bullying others again.
However, these complaints have not yet accumulated to a dangerous level. Today's theme is still the first grand court meeting after the capital was moved, and at the court meeting, the emperor officially announced the new year name!
Emperor Xian, Liu Xie, sat high on a three-tiered platform with four steps, and below him were all the civil and military officials...
For a moment, Liu Xie really felt like he was the emperor?
Cao Cao was also among the officials at this time, standing very close to the front. He had just been named Sikong and "General of Chariots and Cavalry in charge of military affairs" - in the past, this meant commanding the troops of the whole country. The General of Chariots and Cavalry was usually only appointed during wartime and would be withdrawn after the war.
Of course, these are just titles now. In the end, Cao Cao’s own troops will still have to work for Liu Xie.
Next to Liu Xie, there was a woman sitting upright. She was not the queen, but... the Great Han Princess, also known as "Cang Tian Ji"!
According to legend, she was a strange concubine who descended from the sky after Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake. She represented the destiny of the Han Dynasty. Unlike ordinary city concubines, Cangtian Ji did not stay in one place, but moved with the Han court.
Outside the altar of the grand court assembly, two young scholars were also watching this scene from afar.
The two of them were not court officials and had no qualifications to participate in the grand court assembly, but as Cao Cao's confidants, if they wanted to take a look outside, naturally all the guards would not interfere.
"As expected... the Han Dynasty is about to fall, let it exert its last remaining energy!"
The young scholar with small eyes, who looked a little fat but not in a good condition, was looking at the direction of the Han Ji with his bright eyes. There was a strange light flashing in his small eyes, as if he could see something else.
"Zhicai, the backlash of your statecraft is too severe... Why do you have to rush?"
Another handsome scholar, who was clean-shaven, with hair loosely draped over his shoulders, but also had a thin and pale face, was trying to persuade his friend with some reluctance.
"It's too late... If we wait any longer, the fortune of the Han Dynasty will completely collapse. Even if the throne is transferred by then, we won't be able to form a new Tianji." The fat scholar shook his head. His eyes were red and his hair was messy, looking very similar to Bai Tu now.
However, at this moment, just when the reign title "Jian'an" had just been announced and all the ministers were bowing in worship - something strange happened!
I saw purple air coming from the east, and a dazzling light bloomed from the body of the Han Ji, floating up out of thin air...
With Da Han Ji as the center, colorful lights descended from the sky, and there were faint bursts of strange fragrance coming from the sky...
"The birth of a great sage? This is clearly the beginning of troubled times... Oh no! The Han Dynasty is on the rise, and talented people... cough cough!" The handsome scholar became anxious upon seeing this, and quickly looked at the fat scholar. Seeing that the other's eyes were about to bulge out and his mental strength was beginning to dissipate, he hurried forward to support him.
"Fengxiao...My Lord...My Lord..." Xi Zhicai saw that he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.
"You take a rest first! Calm your mind!" Guo Jia said sternly.
"Don't worry... I have already cut off the previous Qi-circulating marriage technique. I just need to recuperate... But in this case, I'm afraid I won't be able to start over within a year... Alas!" Xi Zhicai said with regret.
Yes, these two people were none other than the military advisors in Cao Cao’s army—Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia.
In history, Guo Jia joined Cao Cao's camp after Xi Zhicai's death, but in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guo Jia appeared earlier.
"Rest assured and recuperate. This year... I'm here for you!" Guo Jia looked at the glowing Han Ji with burning eyes.
But after a while, he couldn't help but start coughing again.
Because they were wrapped in spiritual power, the surrounding guards could not hear what the two military advisors were saying, but... looking at these two military advisors, supporting each other and coughing all the time, it was really a morale-damaging thing.
On the other side, the Great Han Princess slightly retracted the light, and at the same time, she waved her hand and dozens of rays of light scattered out and fell into the official seals of everyone in the grand court assembly - it was the specific information about the "birth of a great sage"!
In contrast to Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, who were in mourning, all the officials in the court who were loyal to the Han Dynasty were extremely moved when they saw this scene. Some of the older ones were already in tears...
Guo Jia secretly curled his lips when he saw this: So what if a great sage was born? The Han Dynasty is already a tree without roots and water without a source. This "great sage" is not a great sage of your Han Dynasty. He just let you borrow some luck!
At the same time, he looked at Xi Zhicai with regret...
Guo Jia, as Xi Zhicai's close friend, was well aware of how sinister Xi Zhicai's previous tactics of scheming against the country were.
The withdrawal of Han Dynasty's luck might not necessarily extend its life, but it would cause Xi Zhicai to suffer even more severe backlash, and he even had to interrupt the grafting of luck... Who did he offend?
The one who caused this scene was Bai Tu in Xiaopei City, thousands of miles away!
Looking at the rays of light in the sky, Bai Tu was confused as he made himself look like a god descending from heaven...
It's just a show of merit, is it going to cause such a big fuss?
Even more confused than Bai Tu were Chen Gong and Lu Lingqi who saw this scene outside the government office, as well as the citizens in the city and the generals in the military camp outside the city who were watching from afar...
All I saw was a brilliant glow in the sky, and the white picture was lifted up into the air in the glow, with special effects added to it, as if it was wearing a seven-colored celestial robe, with many shadows of saints looming behind it.
Waves of ink fragrance spread throughout the city, with the strange vision as the center.
Even Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun... the only three generals in the army whose armor could fly, couldn't help but fly outside the government office to check the situation.
