Chapter 079: The Whole Country Sacrifices
Since Du Yuan's selection of the Yuanyan Palace, the open space in front of the palace, and the Emperor Xin Yu was designated as the site of the Three Emperors' Temple, Taishi Wenzhong immediately sent the Imperial Forest Army, heavily guarded, to prevent idle people from entering this place, but all the big merchants and ordinary people were allowed to observe from a distance outside the cordon, and they were not allowed to cross the line.

At the same time, the proclamation also mentioned that if the people of the Great Shang were unable to come to participate in the ceremony due to the long distance, they could also hold the 'identity card' to burn incense and set a fire in their homes, pray sincerely, and pray for the peace of the country and the people, and good weather and rain.
The people of the Great Shang Dynasty can come to the court song at the intersection of Chou and Yin tomorrow night, or only the people of the court can do it, and the rest of the people in the city will definitely not be able to come, but the reason why Zixin mentioned that all the people worship the sky together is to deepen the merchants in disguise to convey their faith and recognition of Di Xin through the 'identity card', so as to enhance the faith of the people in him, so as to collect more faith power.
At night the next day, the civil and military ministers went to the altar headed by Taishi Wenzhong and Prime Minister Shang Rong, and Di Xin was unable to preside over the festival in person due to physical discomfort, so he was handed over to the Taishi and the prime minister to preside over together, which was previously decided.
Taishi Wenzhong was wearing a dark red long Taoist robe, and Prime Minister Shang Rong was wearing a red sacrificial dress, the two of them had serious expressions, worshipping heaven and earth, worshiping the three emperors, the ceremony was quite grand, especially the two acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, naturally it was even different.
Under the altar, Fei Zhong dragged his fat body back and forth, arranging something from time to time, this groundbreaking was quite grand, and there could be no mistakes, so he personally asked about everything.
Outside the altar, the people of Chaoge City spontaneously appeared on the periphery of the altar, the crowd surged, but orderly, because there were too many people, the queue was lined up several streets away, and the people in the periphery couldn't even see the Yuanyan Wangfu building, not to mention the altar and the altar in the middle of Wen Zhong and Shang Rong, but no one left, quietly waiting for the arrival of that moment, just to help Emperor Xin sacrifice heaven and earth, the scene was extremely shocking.
They are grateful to Di Xin, not to mention anything else, the 'Wonderful Rejuvenation Clinic' alone has benefited all the people a lot, and they no longer have to worry about the dilemma of waiting for death due to illness, in the eyes of these people at the bottom, Di Xin is their savior, their parents gave them life, and Di Xin gave them a chance to continue their lives.
Di Xin built the temple of the Three Emperors, sacrificed to heaven and earth, and needed all the people to sacrifice together, they all came spontaneously, without any reason, Di Xin was in need, they had no hesitation, even if they wanted their lives, they were fearless.
This is the biggest gain after Zixin's several major measures during this period of time, which I am afraid even the initiator Di Xin did not expect, because his purpose was to collect the power of faith, and he had not considered it so much before, but he also did a good thing for the people with this move.
Due to Di Xin's intentional and unintentional 'matchmaking', You Hun and Fei Zhong have been completely bound together, becoming the strongest offensive and defensive alliance, this time Fei Zhong took over this important task, the first thing that came to mind was You Hun, You Hun was invited by Fei Zhong to help, the most critical link, the control of the hour Fei Zhong was fully handed over to You Hun to be responsible, others Fei Zhong couldn't trust it at all, only You Hun.
"Old Fei, the time is almost up, it is necessary to remind the Taishi and the Prime Minister. You Hun stepped forward and reminded Fei Zhong in his ear.
Fei Zhong nodded, dragged his fat body onto the altar, and bowed down to remind the Taishi and the Prime Minister.
"Later, Weichen will take the sound of the Ding as the signal, and the master and the prime minister will be able to worship heaven and earth when they hear the sound of the Ding. Fei Zhong once again reminded Taishi Wenzhong to discuss with the prime minister, this matter is too critical, and he can't afford to lose.
"Good!" Taishi Wen Zhong and Prime Minister Shang Rong bowed their heads.
Bite......
The sound sounded, and the time of the intersection of ugly and Yin arrived.
Shang Rong and Wen Zhong lit incense, inserted it into the incense burner, and knelt on the ground at the same time, worshipping the sky three times, worshipping the earth three times, worshipping the three emperors and worshipping three times, a total of nine bows.
The people who came to worship knelt on the ground together, and bowed to heaven and earth with the rhythm of the Taishi and the Prime Minister, extremely pious, and the scene was shocking, which showed how strong the appeal of Di Xin was, even if the Taishi and the Prime Minister had seen many great worlds, they were also a little dazzled by this face.
"Subjects of the Great Merchant Prime Minister ...... Merchants"
"The subject of the great merchant Taishi Wen Zhong ......"
"Worship on behalf of the heavens, dare to edict to the emperor and the queen of heaven, the three holy emperors, respect the ceremony, lead the ministers, worship to the gods, in order to pray for the peace of the country, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the wind and rain are smooth, and the grains are all on board. ”
"When my son of heaven dreams of the three holy emperors, it is a good dream from heaven, on the occasion of this country to build the temple of the three emperors, all the people worship, the whole country to encourage, the three holy emperors are favored, the lifeline of the Bao Wu Dynasty is extended, and the society is eternal, so that our dynasty should be sacrificed by the whole country, and the three holy emperors are the blessing gods of our dynasty. ”
……
The text of this sacrifice was written by the Taishi and the head, and then the hand of Emperor Xin was decorated into Fangcheng.
Di Xin's purpose is very simple, that is, to pull the three saints of Huoyun Palace into his group, at least now he strikes first, and the whole country respects the three holy emperors, if the three holy emperors have to risk the world's disapproval to secretly help Xiqi after the war of the gods opens, then morally, the three holy emperors will fall down, and this is also to block the retreat of the three holy emperors and force them to go to Liangshan.
Of course, none of these emperors have ever mentioned it to the Taishi and the prime minister, after all, they can't interfere in these matters.
After the Taishi and the prime minister read the blessings, they bowed three times and got up, and all the people followed.
"After the sacrifice is completed, the ground is broken. Taishi Wen Zhong waved his hand and reminded Fei Zhong.
"Playing Ding, breaking the ground!"
Fei Zhong's fat body walked up to the altar and gave orders, and suddenly there was a loud sound in the field, accompanied by the sound of the ding, and everyone who had been preparing next to the mound started digging in unison.
After the sacrifice, the people did not move, they all stood in place and watched, because the ceremony had not ended, and they had not been reminded to disperse on their own, so they all waited there in an orderly manner, for fear of affecting the effect of the sacrifice.
"Click......"
At this moment, the shovel of one of them was suddenly broken, and because everyone in the field was staring at the mound, there was almost no superfluous movement in the field except for the sound of digging, and at this moment the sound of the shovel breaking reached the ears of the surrounding people.
"Wow ......"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp, and the shovel broke when the ground was broken, which was not a good omen.
