Chapter 683 Sacrifice to heaven, let’s start!

  Chapter 683 Sacrificial to the Heavens, start!

  Jingtai ninth year, October 15th.

  In previous years, this day was very common, at most it was only a few days later than the ancestor worship. This time the ancestor worship on the ninth day of October was just a small sacrifice, and Jingtai did not leave the customs.

  Only some Zong family and princes of the Sima family are presiding over this matter.

   There was no disturbance at all.

  Everyone, including Jiang Hu and the imperial court, only pay attention to one thing, and that is the matter of today’s holy emperor offering sacrifices to heaven and becoming emperor.

  Following Jingtai’s decree before, the whole capital moved. Even if some officials tried hard to stop it, nothing was done at all.

  The emperor is determined.

  As long as the powerful ministers in the court don’t stop it, the emperor’s will can be fully implemented.

  Since a few days ago, a curfew has been implemented in the capital. Officials, big or small, are not allowed to do anything. If they move, they will die and their family members will be implicated.

   Therefore, except for those hard-headed people, no one dares to say something unsightly.

  Zijin Mountain is located in the east of the capital. The rising sun and the purple air coming from the east are enough to prove a few things. The southeast, northwest, and east are the leading places, and the place of offering sacrifices to heaven will naturally be here.

  The ancient inheritance is broken. There are more than a thousand years of chaos. Today you kill me, and tomorrow I kill him. These chaos are enough to wipe out most things.

  Even about the Martial Emperor who swept the world three thousand years ago, a large part of it is just rumors, and it is inferred based on a few words of ancient books.

  It seems that someone is deliberately smoothing out some things.

  But since the establishment of the state of Chu, the human world has just entered a new chapter, and Jingtai’s offering sacrifices to heaven and becoming the emperor, most of the etiquette is also imitating that Chu Taizu.

  Many people know that Jingtai is not qualified to compare with Chu Taizu, even he himself thinks so, but no one dares to say so in front of him.

  Of course, he didn’t want to hear these gossip either.

  Incense to become a god, national destiny protection, is the keynote he has set a long time ago, how could he give up just because of a few words?

  He is not even afraid of provoking rebellion from all the forces in the world, what else is he afraid of?

   So, everything is going well.

  Even though the reaction in the world is getting bigger and bigger, so far no one has dared to directly attack the capital, and many people are in hibernation.

   Waiting for today’s ancestor worship!

  Yes, in the ninth year of Jingtai, October 15th is the time for the emperor to sacrifice to heaven.

   “How is it compared to Shuzhou?”

  Chen Yuan, who was dressed in black, walked on the street openly, beside him, there was an old man dressed plainly, whose beard and hair were already grey.

   Show kindness on the face.

   And he is none other than Master Lingxu, the head teacher of Shushan.

   On that day, Chen Yuan rushed to Mount Shu and asked Ling Xu in the Tai Chi Hall:

   “Senior, follow me to the capital and avenge the fall of your Shushan immortals!”

   Taoist Lingxu smiled lightly:

“Walk!”

  He can’t avoid it, and he doesn’t want to avoid it.

  Since he has decided to bet on Chen Yuan, and he has shown his potential, how can we avoid what the world knows?

  Jiang He was in Shushan at that time, but he came in person, and there was no room for him to change.

   Moreover, Mount Shu has been passed down for thousands of years, and was established almost at the same time as the former Great Chu.

  That is the emperor!

  The Sima family is unworthy.

   Now the world is about to be in chaos, and this time the ancestor worship in the capital is the official beginning of the world chaos. He hibernates in Shushan, guarding the Demon Town Tower for more than a hundred years without going down the mountain.

   I have stayed enough.

  So, after Chen Yuan spoke, he directly agreed.

  Chongxu Zhenjun, Yangxu and Zhenxu were stationed at Mount Shu together, and he followed Jiang He and Chen Yuan to the Shenjing City of Zhongzhou with Junior Brother Qingxu.

   “The two are not the same.”

   Taoist Lingxu smiled.

  Shenjing City is the second city in the world, the capital of the imperial dynasty, how can it be compared with Shuzhou?

   “It’s just that the old man is a little curious. Are you not afraid of being noticed when you come to the capital so unscrupulously?” Ling Xu thought that Chen Yuan and Jiang He only dared to stay near the Zijin Mountain, which was just named by Jingtai.

   In the end, the two of them entered the capital directly as if they had agreed upon a deal.

   Extraordinary courage.

   This is his evaluation.

   After all, although the imperial court has never publicized it, but at that time, the great sect of immortals, no one knew that there was an immortal sitting in the capital, and that immortal was the founding ancestor of the Jin Dynasty.

  I still remember that the Taoist Palace made a big fuss in the capital before, and the Tianmo Palace helped out, but the palace master Dongfang Sheng only dared to lure Li Kuangxiu out of the capital to play chess outside the city.

   Didn’t dare to enter the capital at all.

  This is enough to explain a few things.

  Chen Yuan raised his hand and pointed around:

   “Do you think there are few people coming in this capital?”

   “Pindao has never sensed the breath.”

   “Aren’t you and I hiding our breath now?”

   “Hehe, it makes sense.”

  Chen Yuan pointed to the direction of the imperial city again, and said:

   “Do you think Jingtai doesn’t know that many strong men will come to the capital today?”

  Chen Yuan may say something sometimes, but he has never underestimated any opponent, especially the king of a country like Jingtai.

  He is stupid and wicked.

  But to be an emperor, and to secretly control the Wusheng Cult to plan for oneself before ascending the throne, can he be an ordinary person?

   Doesn’t he know how much reaction and how many people will rebel when offering sacrifices to heaven and becoming emperor?

   No, he knows, everything.

   But he did it anyway.

  In addition to having to do it, it is also because he has confidence.

   I have no confidence, dare to do this?

“so?”

  Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly:

   “So, it’s okay to come to the capital now.”

   Taoist Lingxu nodded slightly, and said no more, but he had a higher opinion of Chen Yuan in his heart, and he didn’t just bow down to him, but felt that this kid was the best in the world except for his martial arts talent.

  His character is not bad at all.

   “Shusha.”

  The two were chatting, and they appeared slowly from the corner dressed in white, with calm eyes.

   “How’s it going?”

  Chen Yuan turned his gaze.

  Jiang He shook his head slowly:

   “Absent.”

  Whether it is Shuanghe Temple or Marshal’s Mansion, there is no shadow of Li Hongshuang.

   “It seems that we really won’t be able to see each other until the time of offering sacrifices to heaven.”

  Chen Yuan sighed.

  He came to the capital this time, of course, he didn’t come to play, part of it was to take over from Li Hongshuang, he didn’t expect to have to grab women openly.

   Can pick it up early, even if there is a riot in the capital before the sacrifice to heaven?

  It’s a pity that the sky failed as people wished, and Li Hongshuang was taken away long ago, and there was no news about it. Obviously, it was Li Kuangxiu’s method.

  I don’t want to cause something to make the emperor unhappy before offering sacrifices to heaven.

“Ok.”

   “Let’s go, go to Qingyun Temple.”

  Chen Yuan didn’t stop walking.

  Aside from coming to take over Li Hongshuang in advance, another part of his reason for this trip was for the old Taoist Tianxu.

   Except for the last time they saw each other, they had no contact with each other, and this time, it was time for him to make a move.

  He has already accumulated strength and attracted influence.

  Eligible for this guy to invest more.

   To put it simply, this is to start to dilute the equity on the eve of the listing. If you don’t want to dilute, then you have to desperately make a bet on this trip.

  With only one favor from Biyou Palace, Chen Yuan cannot be relieved.

  Ling Xu’s face was calm, and he followed step by step. Although he didn’t know what he was doing at Qingyun Temple, he just followed, and Jiang He did the same, following by his side.

  Three True Monarchs, and none of them are ordinary Yang Gods.

   This kind of power is enough to disturb the capital, and it is also enough to kill it.

  In addition to the lurking demon monk Mo Luo, to be honest, this is also the reason why Chen Yuan dared to enter the capital and wander around without any cover.

  The speed of the three people was very fast, and it took only a short time to arrive near Qingyun Temple.

   Today’s capital city has already started to move. Noon is the time to offer sacrifices to the sky. Now, the common people in the capital city and some high-ranking officials and dignitaries naturally have to wait first.

   Simply put, it is to fill up the number of people.

   To put it more complicatedly, they, civil and military officials, honorable clans, had to witness the emperor sacrifice to heaven with their own eyes.

  Of course, there are still some people who want to see how the scene will be today.

   When offering sacrifices to the heavens, conflicts are very likely to occur. This is already the consensus of many people, and no one wants to miss such a big scene.

  In front of the Qingyun Temple, a few Taoist boys were cleaning the autumn leaves in front of the door, and at the same time washing the street with clean water. This is what many people are doing now.

  The three of them soon came to the door.

  Without any communication, the old way of Tianxu gradually condensed from far to near. At this moment, he is no longer as lazy as before, but has his hair **** and is wearing a purple Taoist robe.

  The dust whisk in his hand reflects the image of a fairy and a hermit.

  He looked at Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan was also looking at him.

   “Taoist.”

   “Lord Hou.”

   “Remember what I said earlier?”

“Remember.”

  The old Taoist Tianxu recalled the scene of the last meeting before, bowed and said:

   “Pindao is waiting for the return of Lord Hou.”

   “Fight with me.”

   “Good.”

   Taoist Tianxu smiled faintly.

  The group of three turned into a group of four. They were in a trance, walking among the crowd, but no one could notice it. But suddenly, as the convoy was driving, Chen Yuan frowned and looked over.

  Since early in the morning, the princes and daughters of Jingtai and the clan children of the Sima family have been mobilizing. As the eldest princess, Pingyang is no exception.

  Her eyes were always calm, and following the instructions of the elders of the Sima clan to prepare, she changed into a grand long skirt, and got on the sedan chair with light makeup.

  Her heart was not at peace all the time, but like a pine tree, she forcibly suppressed all her thoughts and sat alone in the sedan chair.

   In front of it are the carriage frames of the prince and concubines.

  She didn’t stop when she passed the Zhang Mansion, and she didn’t stop when she passed the Marquis of Wu’an Mansion, but at this moment, she seemed to have some perception in her heart.

   Actually raised the curtain on the sedan chair, and then saw the person mentioned by the emperor’s younger brother and mother concubine abnormally.

  Princess Pingyang and Chen Yuan looked at each other for a moment, their eyes were very calm, as if they were strangers, without any eye contact.

  The curtain was lowered, and Princess Pingyang closed her eyes.

  The entire capital city was mobilizing, concubines, princes, clan, imperial army, but no one panicked at such a big move, because the elders of the clan had taught it long before.

  They just went to watch the ceremony and shouted long live.

   Other than that, there is no movement at all.

  The imperial guards belonging to the emperor have already started to move. The imperial city is very empty at this moment. If there is a big disturbance, it is definitely an excellent time.

   Unfortunately, no one showed up.

   After all, who is going to show the trouble?

  But what few people know is that the emperor actually did not go to Zijin Mountain, because the time has not yet come.

  On weekdays, time moves very quickly, and several hours often pass by inadvertently, but today, the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, seems to pass so slowly in the eyes of many people.

   “Slow? I feel the same as usual.”

  On the top of the Star Observation Tower, Jingtai, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and a nine-glazed crown, turned his gaze to Cao Zhengxian and said.

   “The old slave is anxious.”

  Cao Zhengxian bowed and smiled.

   Somehow, he was actually quite relaxed today. The emperor, who had a gloomy face and a murderous aura around his body before, was a little kind.

   No, kindness is not suitable to be called an emperor.

   Tolerance may be more appropriate.

  Since Jingtai ascended the throne, he has been by his side all the time. It can also be said that he has witnessed half of the emperor’s life all the way.

   It is more appropriate to call him the ruler of success.

   After all, except in recent years, he has basically not made any big moves.

Ok.

  To be precise, there is no big move on the bright side.

   As for the secret, Cao Zhengxian didn’t dare to think too much, because it was already obvious.

   “Where are Duke Gu and Duke Li?”

   “Return to Your Majesty, I have already waited at Zijin Mountain.”

   “Where’s your uncle?”

   “Also.”

   “Where’s the army?”

   “The 300,000 elite forbidden troops have arrived at Zijin Mountain. This time, if anyone tries to make trouble, they will die without a place to die!”

   “Hehe, it won’t happen.”

  Jingtaike never placed its hope on the imperial army.

  May be able to burst out of power, but compared to many powerful people in the rivers and lakes, it is still a bit far behind.

   No need to think too much, how could the great immortal sects in this world not come to join in the fun?

  Existences like the Xiang Family, Dao Shrine, etc., how could they not come to stop them, no…how could they not come and deal a heavy blow to the imperial court, and then promote chaos in the world?

   “Qing Cao.”

   “The veteran is here.”

   “You go too, and wait on Zijin Mountain.”

   “Yes, the old minister resigns.”

   After finishing speaking, he slowly retreated.

   After he left, Jingtai also looked at Dongfang’s position, and said softly:

   “Bodhisattva thinks, how many strong people will make a move this time?”

  Beside Jingtai, a golden-haired monkey in cassock, with a compassionate face, slowly shook his head:

   “I don’t know.”

   “What does the Taoist think?”

  On the other side, an old man in Taoist robe slowly appeared, and said with a faint smile:

   “It should be a lot.”

   “Hehe, listening to the words of the Taoist priest is better than a word.”

  So, after another hour, the sun was already high at this moment, and Jingtai got up slowly:

   “Let’s go, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is about to begin.”

“hope everything is fine.”
