Chapter 1754 [Confucian Temple], Liu Hong Appears
(There was a problem at the end of the previous chapter, and it has been corrected.)
Lin Mu knew Ma Chao, but Ma Chao did not know Lin Mu, so he did not look at this side.
In addition to Ma Chao, Lin Mu also saw the Five Counterfeit at Hulao Pass: Pan Feng, Wu Anguo, Fang Yue, Yu She and Mu Shun.
These five guys became famous at Hulao Pass, and also died at Hulao Pass. Because they all died in the battle with the God of War Lu Bu in front of Hulao Pass. Players jokingly called them: [Five Counterfeit at Hulao Pass]!
In addition to these people, there are many celebrities, such as Zheng Xuan, Wang Lie, etc., some familiar and some unfamiliar, kneeling in the entire spacious courtyard. Perhaps many celebrities and generals are hidden among them.
They all came to mourn Taiqiu Gong and Mr. Yuanxian.
Even the streets outside the courtyard were full of kneeling at this moment. And among these people, there are some players who may have worshipped some scholars of the gentry as their teachers.
The dense hemp clothes and white cloth... made the whole street and even the whole city filled with a sense of sadness. Some women were even crying silently.
Cai Yan and Xun Cai'er, because they were Lin Mu's wives, knelt on both sides of him. Both women sobbed softly.
As for Lin Mu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others, although their faces were a little sad, they did not cry.
"——Ding!"
"——System prompt: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, due to special reasons, the authority of the Han Dynasty you use is higher than the authority of a certain official, and because you have the right to open a government, the heavenly battle task [Kill the wanted person] you set in advance is successfully activated. Because of the number of rebels, the highest reward pool condition you set can be activated."
A system prompt suddenly appeared. And this time happened to be when Chang Yin announced his first order.
This system prompt appeared, indicating that the turbulent war against him had ignited!
"Humph! I have Guo Fengxiao and Xi Zhicai's layout, I'm afraid you... hehe... enjoy the horror of the two gods!" Lin Mu said coldly in his heart.
At this moment, a scream broke the sadness and silence of Linlu City: "The imperial edict has arrived!!!"
The sound of hurried footsteps also came along.
All the worshippers were shocked when they heard the imperial edict, and then some people who knew about it showed a complicated look on their faces.
Soon, a familiar figure walked in.
Zuo Feng!
This guy actually dared to take this task to read the imperial edict here. Isn't he afraid that the aristocratic scholars who were surging with emotions would tear his hands apart?
At this moment, Zuo Feng was trembling, and his face had long lost the arrogance of the past. Those murderous eyes almost killed him.
The ten constant servants didn't dare to come here to read the imperial edict, so they handed it over to Zuo Feng, the eunuch who had "weight" and etiquette.
A path slowly formed, and Zuo Feng walked quickly along the path with trembling, and came to the coffin hall.
Without much greeting, Zuo Feng directly read out the imperial edict:
"According to the imperial edict: Taiqiu Gong Chen Shi, the fifth Yuanxian, the holy teacher of the Imperial College, is the star of Wenqu. Virtue, love, courtesy, wisdom, talent and elegance, learning as mature as a mountain, eloquence as flowing as a river, understanding the classics and righteousness. He served in the court and made his name known to the people, and his reputation was high and low, comparable to that of Mai Jia. Now I suddenly heard that the two Wenqu stars have fallen, and the dragon soul is terrified. I have lost two nobles. The deceased is the king of Xingde. Now I posthumously posthumously confer the title of Wenqiu Marquis on Chen Shi and the fifth Yuanxian as Wenyao Marquis. The two marquises will be listed as the 72 Mo ancestors of the Confucian Temple."
The sound of the grand imperial edict reading echoed throughout the city.
"Hiss! The two holy teachers can actually be listed as the 72 Mo ancestors of the [Confucian Temple]... This is the greatest respect for them. I didn't expect that Your Majesty values them so much." Some scholars who didn't know what was going on were overjoyed when they heard the imperial edict, and they were overjoyed for Chen Shi and the fifth Yuanxian.
"It is said that those who enter the Confucian Temple can obtain mysterious protection, their souls will not dissipate, and they can enter the mysterious world!"
"Haha, this is just a legend... But in terms of fame, the two of you finally enjoyed the admiration of millions of people, and your life is not in vain." Some scholars whispered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Ji took the imperial edict from Zuo Feng and bowed solemnly.
In fact, the deaths of Chen Shi, Diwu Yuanxian and others were unknown to them, and they were all guesses. But those guesses were basically the truth.
This imperial edict felt like a cat crying over a mouse. But after all, it can allow the two deceased to enjoy a certain amount of incense and admiration. They, the descendants, are not qualified to refuse, and will not refuse.
Just as Chen Ji took the imperial edict, Zuo Feng secretly handed him a crystal clear and warm jade talisman.
After that, Zuo Feng hurried away. The usual unspoken rules of reading the imperial edict in the past: he ignored and dared not ask for benefits.
Chen Ji lowered his head, pretending to look at the imperial edict, but actually looking at the warm jade talisman.
When he saw the information on the warm jade talisman, his pupils shrank suddenly and his whole body trembled.
"It is a blessing for my father and my teacher that you all come here to pay homage. Now that His Majesty has bestowed great favors, we want to temporarily close the coffin hall and let the family members pay homage." Chen Ji said loudly.
"Yes!!" Many people responded.
This is human nature. Perhaps this time of paying homage is the last time for the relatives to see the deceased in all his glory!
Afterwards, Chen Ji allowed some relatives and related personnel to enter the coffin hall, while others were outside.
"Bang bang!" The door of the coffin hall was closed.
The so-called related personnel actually included Lin Mu himself. However, Cai Yan, Xun Caier, Guo Jia and others were excluded. This situation is a bit different!
Lin Mu frowned slightly, as if he felt that something big was going to happen.
After closing the coffin hall, Chen Ji glanced at everyone, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Wait, His Majesty is coming!"
Chen Ji's words were like thunderbolts, shocking everyone.
His Majesty Liu Hong is coming? He is coming to pay homage to the deceased in person? !
When Lin Mu heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly.
Liu Hong can actually leave the capital Luoyang and leave the palace! ! This is the first time he has heard of it.
Although many nobles want to kill Liu Hong, he is still the most noble person in the Han Dynasty at this moment!
Even though Lin Mu is secretly carrying out various blood-sucking plans, he hopes that he will live to 189 years.
After Chen Ji finished speaking, he paused, then took out the jade talisman, pinched it suddenly, and a bright white light suddenly flashed. Soon, three figures appeared in the bright white light.
"Welcome His Majesty to come!" Chen Ji, Lin Mu and others bowed and saluted, and said respectfully to the three figures.
"I am here for a private matter. No need to be so polite. Everyone, please stand up." Liu Hong's familiar voice sounded.
Lin Mu and others looked up and saw Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong protecting Liu Hong in front of everyone.
Han Emperor Liu Hong really appeared in the coffin hall.
Liu Hong looked around, then slowly and affectionately said: "Wenqiu, Wenyao and Wenlie are all important ministers of the Han Dynasty. Their contributions to the Dragon Court are as great as the endless sea. I am also very sad about the death of the three beloved ministers."
"So today, I came here to pay my respects in person."
"Burn incense!" Liu Hong said in a serious voice.
Everyone listened to Liu Hong's words quietly, and no one interrupted.
Then Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong took out six finger-thick incense sticks from the space device.
Lin Mu observed carefully and found that the incense sticks were red-purple, with a faint purple air lingering on them, and there were also mysterious inscriptions flashing faintly. It was not an ordinary thing at first glance.
I didn't expect that Liu Hong would bring such good things besides coming to pay respect in person.
"Spirit sender, start the memorial ceremony." Liu Hong said slowly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The rare profession spirit sender said respectfully.
At this time, Lin Mu noticed this spirit sender.
