All children always hope to grow up one day earlier and become adults when they are young. They are always very dissatisfied with what others say you are still young, and then they say that I have grown up...

The same is true for Liu Cong.

For Liu Cong, today is undoubtedly a good day. Although he is now a little older and it is indeed a little earlier to hold the crown ceremony, what does it matter?

As long as the ceremony is over, you will officially enter the ranks of adults!

Liu Cong was looking forward to it, but what Liu Cong didn't expect was that some of the expected expectations in his imagination might not be good things...

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the ceremony of the crown ritual has paid great attention to the ceremony of the crown ritual, and believes that the ceremony of the crown ritual has a special meaning, especially for the upper aristocratic ruling class. The Zhou Dynasty began to implement the system of inheritance of the eldest son. If the reign of the king dies, the eldest son will be succeeded by the eldest son. No matter whether he is old or young, he will not be able to rule in person if he is not yet aged and has not yet performed the ceremony of the crown ritual. He must be assisted by the so-called Minister Gu Zheng, or the empress dowager is behind the curtain.

For example, King Cheng of Zhou succeeded to King Wu when he was young, but Duke Zhou was regent until he became an adult. Ying Zheng ascended the throne of Qin at the age of thirteen, and he was not in charge of power until he was twenty-two years old, "crowned and swords".

When the Han Dynasty arrived, they still paid great attention to the ceremony of the crown. The children of the gentry called the ceremony of the crown. The emperor had a separate noun, which was Yuanfu. Generally, when the emperor was Yuanfu, his colleagues would also have a general amnesty for the world and reduce taxes, which was quite a bit like the whole world.

If he had to follow the etiquette requirements, Liu Cong would hold a crown in his own ancestral temple. However, although Liu Biao claimed that he was the descendant of King Gong of Lu, Liu Yu, he was the ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Biao did not set up any spiritual position of King Gong of Lu, Liu Yu in Xiangyang, so it was held in his own government office.

Liu Cong was very excited, but he still tried hard to calm his emotions so that he would not act too childish. Even though he had been fasting for many days, he was very energetic and even a little excited.

Is Dabin who presided over the ceremony for Liu Cong? It is Kong Rong.

It was a coincidence that Liu Biao originally wanted to let Pang Degong be the big guest of Liu Cong's ceremony, but Pang Degong was old and had poor legs and feet. On the other hand, it happened that Kong Rong fled from Xu County and went to Jingzhou to avoid disaster. He hit it off immediately and the two fell in love...

There is no need to say much about Kong Rong's appearance. Now she is floating in the hall, standing in the hall, looking at Liu Cong who has changed step by step, then nodded slightly, with a gentle smile, completely gone from the panic or sad appearance under Xu County that day, showing an extraordinary demeanor, and a rich and knowledgeable appearance, which makes people feel quite comfortable and reliable when they see it.

Liu Cong held back his heart and held his small face as tight as possible. Then he followed the etiquette step by step, respecting the world, worshiping his parents, and then worshiping him in front of Kong Rong.

Kong Rong shook his hand out of his sleeves and could not shake it too much. At most, three strokes. If he had exceeded three strokes, he would be quite unskilled in his business and would go home to practice. He then took a black cloth crown from the gold-painted lacquer plate offered by the waiter beside him and tied it to Liu Cong on his little head.

On the auspicious day of the month, the first time you are crowned, the character "Young" is abandoned, and the character "Su" is achieved through the virtues. The longevity is found and the beauty is introduced.

While helping to tie the laces of the black cloth crown, Kong Rong made a beautiful bow on Liu Cong's chin and recited loudly. His voice was full and loud, low and powerful, and very magnetic. It even made Liu Cong and the people around him feel a little moved, and tears were almost filled with their eyes.

The black cloth crown symbolizes that the person who received the crown ceremony is about to be involved in the affairs of the people who are in charge of human affairs, that is, to have the power of human governance. The black cloth crown is a ritual system passed down from ancient times, so the crown ceremony first adds a black cloth crown, which means that you do not forget the original nature.

Then a leather hat will be added, which symbolizes that the general will intervene in military affairs and have military power.

Kong Rong picked up the leather hat and applied it to Liu Cong's head. Uh, the leather hat crown was added, and at the same time he also added a sword around Liu Cong's waist. However, Liu Cong's figure was still too small, which led to the sword being pulled to the ground with some pulling...

Forget it, this doesn't matter.

Kong Rong once again recited Guan Li's speech loudly, and everyone's eyes were filled with tears again.

That's the end?

No, I also need to add a third-level crown, which is the most important one. After getting on the jue, it means having the right to sacrifice. In the Han Dynasty, where the family patriarchal law was very strong, this also means having the best authority and the highest right.

After putting on the lord, the entire crown ceremony was considered to be completely over.

If it is the emperor, another crown is added, which is four rituals.

After Liu Cong's ceremony, everyone finally cheered together. Although Liu Cong barely maintained a stable expression, it was obvious that a sword could no longer suppress his floating mood. Fortunately, Liu Cong still had some residual rationality. He thanked his parents and guests according to the final process, and thanked everyone who watched the ceremony. He completed the ceremony successfully. Then Mrs. Cai finally shed tears that had been in full bloom for a long time...

According to custom, after each ceremony, it must be about eating and drinking, but this time, Liu Biao did not immediately call him to have a banquet, but went to the side hall next to him and sat down to discuss what had happened recently.

Kong Rong and Liu Cong were also present.

Liu Cong was naturally not qualified to attend such a meeting, but since the ceremony was held, it was enough. Although he could only sit behind Liu Biao and could not say anything, he was very excited to be able to attend it and almost couldn't sit steadily.

Liu Biao didn't have much time to take care of Liu Cong's emotions. Although he looked pretty good now, he knew the most about his health. After all, pain and energy can deceive others, but he can't deceive himself.

After all, the matter between Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie is a troublesome. The sooner it is solved, the better.

Brother Wenju... Liu Biao pondered for a moment, turned to look at Kong Rong, and asked, "I heard about the rebellion in Xu County, brother Wenju was also at the right time, but I don't know what the situation is?"

Liu Biao has heard of most of the opinions of everyone before, but only Kong Rong was the first time he participated, so Liu Biao also wanted to listen to Kong Rong's opinions.

Kong Rong sat on the side and smiled. As a result, when he heard Liu Biao's inquiry, his face, which seemed as gentle as jade, suddenly seemed to solidify for some reason. Then his eyes widened and slightly congested. The corners of his mouth were pulled twice, as if he showed a hint of hideousness, which scared everyone!

Kong Rong immediately noticed something was wrong, but his expression could not be taken back. He simply covered his face and said sadly: Your Majesty... When he thought of Your Majesty now... I feel like thousands of arrows, it hurts my heart...

Everyone suddenly realized, and they all comforted Kong Rong and praised him for his loyalty and righteousness.

Liu Biao also comforted him, so Kong Rong slowly lowered his sleeves, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said with a heavy face: In the past, he was holding a literary meeting in the south of the city... Kong Rong was very eloquent, and he talked slowly and explained the situation at that time. Of course, Kong Rong must not say that he was involved in this matter, but just described himself as an unfortunate person who happened to encounter such a thing and was miserable.

When the story of Wang Can falling into the moat of Xu County and Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie did not rescue him, Kong Rong couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: Zhong Xuan's loyalty and righteousness can be seen! To protect the emperor, he will not hesitate to himself! However, such a loyal and righteous person was abandoned like a broom! When he arrived, Zhu and Zhang had already died, and Zhong Xuan's brother... Alas, how sad it is! He cherishes him!

As for Kong Rong, he did not dare to come forward to save this at that time, Kong Rong naturally would not say it. Therefore, it sounds like when he arrived, Wang Can was dead, Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie shamelessly abandoned Wang Can, and Xun Yu from Xu County misunderstood what connection he had with Zhu and Zhang, and refused to accept Kong Rong into the city...

So that's it... Liu Biao didn't know what to say for a moment.

If Jingzhou condones such a bad thief, wouldn’t it betrayal of the emperor, disobey loyalty and righteousness, and lose the hearts of the people! Kuai Yue shouted loudly, "The lord is inherently kind, but he should not be proud of the villain, but he will harm the gentleman!"

Liu Biao pondered silently.

Kuai Liang looked at Cai Mao, then turned to Liu Biao, and said: As the saying goes, favor but not arrogant, arrogant but can surrender, surrender but not regret, but can be frugal, and there are few who can be frugal. The humble man hinders the noble, the young man is old, the old man is far away, the old man is new, the old man is small, and the lust is broken, and the six rebellions are called the six rebellions. The righteousness of the king, the ministers are kind, the son is filial, the brother is loved, and the younger brother is respected. The six rebellions are called the six rebellions. The success of the emperor is tolerated, so it is quick to suffer. In the past, the pure minister, Shi Gong, tolerated human feelings, and tolerated loyalty and righteousness, and he has passed down his reputation throughout the ages. Now that your Majesty is covered with dust, and the death of loyalty and righteousness is the tragedy of the world! If we take dirt and tolerate cruelty, then what is the reputation of the lord, and where is the loyalty and righteousness in the world? Where is Your Majesty? Please think twice!

Pang Ji, who was originally a little inclined to Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie, and the others, could not say anything to refute for a while, were all silent. Because this matter, if it were just Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie to escape from Yuzhou, it would not be as unbearable as Kong Rong said. It would be fine if he had sheltered or even sheltered, but now...

Just like war refugees in later generations, shelter and rescue are humanitarian, and it is understandable. However, if you find that the refugee is actually a criminal and commits serious crimes, then it is a bit unreasonable to treat them as ordinary refugees. And in the current concept of the Han Dynasty, violating loyalty and righteousness is a very serious crime.

Such behaviors that violate loyalty and righteousness will not be accepted by the children of the gentry, at least on the surface it is quite rejected.

Liu Biao looked around and saw that both sides had their own support, but now there was only one voice left. The neutral Cai Mao and others didn't speak, and the result seemed to be gradually becoming clearer...

Liu Biao finally made a decision, refusing Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie to abandon the accession and not allowing them to enter the Jingzhou area.

If things were just here, the situation would not be too bad. After all, Liu Biao did not have a reason to kneel down and lick Fei Qian. Moreover, there were some love affairs before, and just refused to enter the two lieutenants. In fact, it was not a big problem, and it was reasonable. However, the problem was that there were always some greedy people, and then they fell in love with the war horses brought by Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie.

Zhang Yun, Liu Biao's nephew. Zhang Yun thought it would be a pity if Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie were spared for nothing? You should know that the war horses under Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie were the Yongliang war horses, which were priceless on the ground of Jingzhou. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy them!

What Liu Biao meant was to ask Zhang Yun to go to the front line to convey his meaning, saying that because he heard about the incident in Xu County, he condemned Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie's actions, and finally refused to enter the country, and was loyal and righteous. In this way, even if Fei Qian asked about it later, it was reasonable. After all, it was Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie who were wronglyhave first.

If it is really wrong to blame Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie, the blame is not on Liu Biao. Didn’t it be clear that he heard it? Then the main reason is Kong Rong.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yun lost a lot of gambling in the past few days. Seeing the sarcasm of debt collection and encountering such an errand, he couldn't help but become greedy. He felt that since he didn't accept Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie, why not just kill these two people and then get these war horses? A war horse is at least 300,000 yuan, ten horses are three million, and one hundred horses are three million, and then how many Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie brought? At that time, send some to the top, then keep some by themselves, and sell some. This day...

Just thinking about it this way, Zhang Yun seemed to have the corners of his mouth began to become wet...

So, when Zhang Yun arrived at the border and saw Gan Ning, his mouth turned tilted, and the words he said became a design trap to kill Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie, gathering his soldiers and horses!

Want to get rid of Zhu Zhang? Gan Ning frowned. Gan Ning felt that there was nothing to say about killing his opponent on the battlefield. Life and death depended on his own ability and fortune, but designing a pit to kill made Gan Ning feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Yun glared at him. This was the lord's order! General Gan wants to violate the order?!

Gan Ning grinded his teeth and bowed and said: "I dare not...but... Zhu and Zhang don't leave the army, how can they lure them?"

Zhang Yun laughed and said, "I have made a decision!" He can invite Zhu and Zhang to the city for a banquet in the name of General Gan, and set up a knife and axe inside and throw a cup as a trumpet, so he took it straight away! Zhang Yun obviously felt that his idea was very good, just like Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty. After all, he had his surname Zhang, so he might have some of Zhang Liang's wisdom.

Gan Ning couldn't help frowning. Invitation in my name, I asked? Then how can I see people when I go out in the future? Wouldn't the name of cheating be forever? It would be better to say that General Zhang came to work hard for the army and specially invited Zhu and Zhang to the banquet. This would be more natural, so as not to doubt Zhu and Zhang...

Zhang Yun thought about it, it’s okay! That’s it! General prepares quickly, don’t miss a big deal!
Chapter completed!
