Chapter 177: In front of the palace

The Shangwu Contest is a battlefield for the strength of the academies, which is not only the honor of the academy, but also the glory of the warriors, even without Chu Hongjiao's remarks and the existence of Qin Bai, the Longxiang Academy will desperately press the Xuanniao Academy under itself and ravage it vigorously.

However, with the presence of these two, the battle between the two academies will become more intense.

Under Yin Chuyu's strong suggestion, Xia Yi went to the mountains and forests where Longxiang Academy was training three days before the start of the Shangwu Competition, and found his loyal supporter Zhu Xiaoxiao, and the two of them muttered and chatted for a long time before Xia Yi returned to Longxiang Academy.

No one knew what the two of them said, but Yin Chuyu and Xia Ye could foresee that Xia Yi would not go to Zhu Xiaoxiao empty-handed, and he would definitely use his own methods to help Zhu Xiaoxiao achieve excellent results in the Shangwu Competition.

Today, the whole city of Asaha is in a revelry, everyone is happily walking through the streets, everyone is walking slowly in the same direction, many businesses have chosen to close their stores, and the stores are posted with notices that they will not be open this morning and will open again in the afternoon.

The shopkeepers also gave up their business and threw themselves into the crowd of people, heading in the direction that they were looking forward to.

Today is the beginning of the Shangwu Competition, and a huge platform has been erected in front of the palace. On top of this, the ceremony of worshipping the heavens before the start of the Shangwu Grand Competition will be held, and after the ceremonial ceremony, the individual competition of the Shangwu Grand Competition will start immediately.

......

Time progressed day by day, and the atmosphere of Chaoge City became more and more lively, until the day when the Shangwu Dabi began, the atmosphere was pushed to the top.

On this day, the sun is shining, the sky is clear, the sky is blue and blue, there is not a single cloud in the sky, the whole sky seems to be covered with a piece of washed and dyed blue cloth, the people who see it are open-minded, the body and mind are comfortable, and they feel refreshed for no reason.

Xia Yi stood next to the main entrance of the palace, looked up and looked back, he could see those positions on the head of the palace wall, and after a while, those nobles in the palace and the envoys of various academies would appear there, ready to attend the ceremony of worshipping the heavens before the start of the Shangwu competition.

Remember the URL

It is said that it is a ceremony to worship the heavens, this statement is not official, mainly on the rooftop of the sacrifice to the sky, in front of the heavens, reciting the great achievements of the Dashang Dynasty and its majesty, and thanking the heavens for the blessing of the Dashang Dynasty in the past year, and at the same time looking forward to the next year, the warriors of the Dashang Dynasty can forge ahead more and help the Dashang become the most powerful dynasty in the land of China.

In Xia Yi's heart, this is a ceremony to promote the Shang Emperor.

This was a great event for the people of Chaoge City, even more lively than the annual New Year's Festival, and everyone flocked to the palace with joy, hoping to see the start of the Shangwu Contest with their own eyes.

In front of the palace, many people have occupied positions close to the palace, and it is crowded and heavily guarded, not only guarded at intervals, but also by several patrol teams walking back and forth, ready to support the guards everywhere.

These people at the foot of the palace are the various academies that participated in the Shangwu Competition. Since today is the first day of the competition, and there is a ceremony before the start of the competition, all the people from all the academies participating in the competition gathered here to participate in the ceremony.

Of course they would like to watch such a ritual!

Xia Yi was just curious about the process of the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, and he didn't care about the meaning contained in it.

In fact, his experience of coming to the Great Shang Dynasty in just half a year is enough to be much more wonderful than the lives of the vast majority of the people of the Great Shang Dynasty, and he also knows many secrets that ordinary people do not know.

However, the people of the land of China usually do not have too many entertainment activities, and now there is this grand event, even if it is a ceremony to worship the sky, everyone is happy to stand for an hour or two to watch the excitement. Not to mention, after the ceremony, there will be a wonderful individual competition.

Moreover, the Shang Emperor Yin Tianqi has indeed made quite dazzling achievements since he succeeded to the throne, and he is also the backbone of the hearts of the people of the Great Shang, almost all the people of the Great Shang believe that as long as the Shang Emperor Yin Tianqi is there, the Great Shang Dynasty will be the most powerful dynasty in the land of China.

If you are lucky, you may be able to unify the land of China and become the first dynasty in history to unify the land of China.

Because of Yin Tianqi's life experience and personality changes, Xia Yi vaguely reminded him of a famous king in ancient times, a famous king who praised and criticized a lot in history.

"You must not snatch your son's daughter-in-law, otherwise I really doubt that this is a repeat of history. Xia Yi muttered in a very low voice, whispering the secrets he knew.

Time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for the square in front of the palace to be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people, and the city defense army in Chaoge City had been mobilized to guard it, and even the forbidden army was sent out to maintain the security of the square in front of the palace at any time.

For example, the quiet change of Emperor Shang, this point, everyone present is counted as one, and they may not know as much as Xia Yi.

When people were cheering for the great achievements of Shang Emperor Yin Tianqi, Xia Yi had already noticed that the Shang Emperor Yin Tianqi at this time was no longer the Shang Emperor Yin Tianqi at that time, and his character was undergoing some kind of change, so in the same way, this kind of character change would inevitably affect the future process.

Shang Emperor Yin Tianqi unified the land of China and became the king of the ages? Xia Yi shook his head silently in his heart, the reality was far more cruel than imagined, according to his speculation, it is not surprising that Yin Tianqi can keep the current foundation and not squander the capital he has accumulated in the past few years, even if it is a solid achievement.

Xia Yi noticed the movement above his head, looked up, and saw that many people were already standing on the top of the city.

If someone tries to create chaos at this time, it will be suppressed from all directions in the blink of an eye.

There was a constant noise in my ears, and the square in front of the palace was like a noisy large vegetable market.

The glittering weapons, the gleaming armor, the snorts of restless mounts, the air guards flying back and forth in the sky, all of them brought great pressure and deterrence to the people.

Yang Zhangzhen, as the temporary dean of Longxiang Academy, appeared near the center, while Yin Chuyu attended as a representative of the royal family, naturally standing by the side of Emperor Shang.

And Xia Yi, his identity is small, so he can only stand under the palace with his sister and look up at those big people.
