Chapter 82: Get Ready
In the afternoon of the same day, Ai Ruyue personally went to Shuixianglou to visit Nangong Yun. www.biquge.info The two of them talked in the room for a long time, and then Ai Ruyue left the Shui Xiang Building with a complicated face, and entered the palace overnight to talk with King Motu in the imperial study for a night!
The next morning, Lord Li, the Qintian supervisor in charge of the astronomical calendar, trembled and started to play, and first confessed, and then said in a slumping voice; Yesterday, I watched the sky at night and found that it was too white and purple slightly!
The words landed, and everyone shook. Because Ziweixing is the main star of the Beidou, it is a noble star in the sky, and it has been known as the emperor star since ancient times. To put it bluntly, Zi Weiluo means that the throne has changed! and then think of many things that have happened in the DPRK and China recently. King Motu was even more angry, and issued an order with a pale face in public: In five days, he will lead all the officials to perform sacrifices and worship on the rooftop to pray for blessings and disasters!
In the next five days, nothing happened in the Motu Kingdom, but a major event that happened in the Lan Zhao country instantly spread all over the mainland: the emperor of the Lan Zhao Kingdom abdicated! The crown prince ascended the throne!
For a time, the government and the opposition in various countries were taken aback! There were many discussions! Because in their cognition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince belonged to the most obscure one, and he was placed in the folk to recuperate because of his infirmity since he was a child. He was able to return to the palace three years ago. It can be said that he is the least threatening prince.
It is said that his position as the crown prince was also the result of Emperor Lanzhao's compromise in order to weigh the power of the five princes and the nine princes! The major royal families also sent people to secretly investigate! Because after all, Lan Zhaoguo was one of the three major powers in the Rising Sky Continent. Every change in the throne could trigger a change in the situation on the mainland!
And Nangong Yun, who was bored graffiti at the table, was slightly stunned at first when he heard Zixi's report, and then continued to bow his head and be busy.
Unlike others, Nangong Yun's heart was only let go at this time. Because she knew what kind of person Situ Zhe was before! The bloody banquet in Lan Zhao's capital that night was unknown to others, but she Shui Xianglou found out! Therefore, he was not surprised that he could have such an ability, Nangong Yun was not surprised! And the reason why Nangong Yun's heart was put down was that after Mo Tu and Ling Yun, Lan Zhao also had an accident! Mo Tu, Ling Yun She found out that it was Baihua Valley's secret hand. But there has been no news from Lan Zhao's side before! Now there is finally movement!
Nangong Yun's lowered eyes flashed with a fierce light. It seems that Situ Zhe is their person! Although I don't know if the mastermind behind the scenes is Baihua Valley, but so far, at least Situ Zhe and Baihua Valley are on the same front!
That being the case, there are some things that need to be prepared in advance!
The pen in his hand flew quickly, put down the pen, and handed the paper to Zixi next to him.
"Flying pigeon to Sheng!"
"Yes!" Zixi responded.
Immediately, Nangong Yun asked with a slight smile: "Can things be arranged in five days?"
Zixi also nodded silently when she heard this. With a hint of admiration in his tone, he said: "Master rest assured, everything has been secretly prepared, and the Osmanthus Festival in five days will be foolproof!"
Nangong Yun's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this, this is very good! If this matter is resolved as soon as possible, you can return to Lingyun as soon as possible! I heard that some interesting things have happened in Lingyun these days! The corners of Nangong Yun's mouth turned slightly, and a person inexplicably appeared in her mind! That demonic and charming demeanor made her miss a little! I wonder if he suddenly remembered himself?
At this time, Lan Yeying, who was far away in the Hades Mansion, couldn't help but wrinkle his nose, glanced at the documents on the desk in front of him with dissatisfaction, and sped up the speed in his hand! He still has to hurry to find his little Yun'er!
The sun is shining, there is not a trace of cool breeze in the summer weather, and the air seems to be full of heat waves! The fragrance of osmanthus can be smelled everywhere in the capital of Motu! Especially today, it is the annual osmanthus festival in Motu!
On this day, Motu has to eat osmanthus cake regardless of whether it is rich or poor, and at night it will go out to watch the flowers and play. In some places, there are even some literati and artists who hold some poetry contests with the theme of osmanthus and so on!
Therefore, in the mansions of some wealthy merchants and eunuchs, there began to be domestic slaves who went out early to purchase the osmanthus cake that had been customized for the owners to eat!
On the streets of Beijing, there are also quite a few hawkers who set up stalls to sell osmanthus cakes, and most of them are swept away in less than a morning! Of course, there are also some poor families who queue up in front of Baihualou early because they can't afford to buy osmanthus cakes! Because this is also a practice of Baihualou! Every year on a specific festival, Baihualou will always give food to those poor people who can't afford to buy things free of charge!
Looking at the gradually decreasing figure outside the door through the third floor, Nangong Yun looked up at the sun hanging obliquely in the sky again, and asked with a complicated expression, "What time is it?"
"The sacrifice has just begun!" Zixi replied softly!
At this time, on the rooftop, I saw a huge round sacrificial pillar in the center, which was leading to the sky, full of five or six zhang high, and six or seven people hugged each other. There are offering tables and incense burners and incense sticks around it. King Motu was standing on the rooftop with a respectful and pious face, followed by a harem concubine and princesses, and after that was the civil and military minister of the Manchu Dynasty. Supervisor Li Wenzheng stood respectfully beside the altar and read aloud.
"Sacrifice the first item, offer to the gods, welcome the gods and dance!"
As soon as the words fell, many subordinates respectfully held cattle, sheep and livestock and carefully placed them in front of the altar!
As the heartwarming drums stopped, the dancers retreated. Levin's voice came again.
"The second item of the sacrifice, worship for nine days, pray for nine blessings!"
"Worship the gods of heaven and earth, may the country be safe and the people be smooth!
Two worship the royal ancestors and protect the health of the descendants!
Three Worships.........
………
Nine worships ................................................!"
All the people bow down and prostrate!
This was followed by the third and fourth items in full swing......
When time passes bit by bit. When the last item is completed with the festival ceremony. King Motu's eyes flashed inexplicably.
King Motu slowly got up and walked off the rooftop, facing all the officials, and was about to make a final summary speech!
I only heard a "boom" from behind! The top of the altar, which was five or six feet high, shook like thunder, and then suddenly smashed down a stone monument-like thing from top to bottom, and fell straight down on the west side where no one was standing, smashing the ground into a large crater three or four people high!
The scene suddenly began to panic! The harem concubines and princesses screamed.
The Imperial Forest Army hurriedly rushed to the emperor's side, and his ears were filled with the voices of various people.
"Quick, protect Your Majesty!"
"Protect the Emperor!"
