Very early that day, the people from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites were the first to arrive at the Tianyi Altar. The people of the two divisions were staggered in the altar, and they were still in a hurry, because they had to seize the last opportunity to fill in the gaps.

At that time, Gu Qingning was discussing these things with the people in the Ministry of Industry, she was very nervous, in this officially completed magnificent temple, it was difficult for others to understand her mood, only one person could.

Xu Zitong, who came to help, came to her side and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "There is a kid from the Ministry of Rites who has been peeking at our deacon, do you want us to beat him?"

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Gu Qinghuan standing not far away, the sister and brother who had gone out together in the morning met again here, and when they saw each other, they had a sense of novelty like a first acquaintance.

Gu Qingning's heart suddenly became steady, and said, "If you dare to beat him, I will beat you." ”

Xu Zitong looked at Gu Qingning in a daze and walked over there, smiling so gently.

The people from the Ministry of Rites were trying to hold the wine that was placed in the temple to entertain the nobles, Gu Qinghuan took two glasses and handed one to Gu Qingning, who came over, and she naturally took it.

They smiled and said nothing, touched the cup gently, and when their eyes met, it was the tacit understanding that only the two of them understood, and they raised their glasses and drank them all.

"Sister, the proudest moment of my Gu Qinghuan's life was not when I was an official in Mingtang, but today I walked in here, saw this magnificent Tianyi Altar, and saw my sister as a woman standing among a group of men in official clothes, it was really not easy, too great. I'm really proud, sister...... You are the most beautiful today......" Gu Qinghuan said.

Gu Qingning's nose suddenly became sore, the first time she smiled happily but had the urge to cry, her eyes were already red, and she deliberately smashed him with her elbow, he pretended to be in pain cooperatively, she said: "Don't think that you say a few good words to coax my sister, I won't teach you a lesson in the future, you dare to drink next time...... The stupid thing of poisonous wine is coming, and I will beat you as it is!"

"Yes. He pouted, ready to get on with his work.

"Wait a minute. Gu Qingning stopped him, took off the collar of his official uniform for him, and said, "Qinghuan, you are also doing well, my good brother ......"

"But what you love most is the breeze......" he complained.

"Okay, you can go. ”

To each one disperses, to each his own act.

Xu Zitong leaned over and asked her with a smile: "Who is that?"

She looked at Gu Qinghuan's back, with a smile that couldn't be concealed: "That's my brother." ”

After everything was safe, both people withdrew from the palace as soon as possible, and the people from the palace department came to confirm it again.

……

The sun rises in the east, the light fills the sky, the Tianyi altar appears in the mortal world, and ten thousand people come to the court.

Officials above the seventh rank are all dressed in court clothes and hold jade gui, standing under the high mound, and the six departments are lined up in turn, and the rows and columns are all kinds of colors, which are neat and hierarchical.

Before the hundred officials, they were envoys of various countries, holding festivals, flourishing the five soils, and resting in order to hope for the glory of this prosperous world. After the hundred officials, there are prefects in various places, and it is rare to enter the imperial city and see the holy face.

The royal princes and nobles stood solemnly at the front, and all the princesses and princes gathered here from their fiefdoms, and they were the most glorious people in this dynasty, because they all had a surname - Chen.

The bell rings and the drum sings, the grand royal salute is slowly spread on the high steps, in this majestic drum music that shakes the world and the world, Chen Jingxing, the new emperor of the Great Qi, ascends to the highest place of the altar, the king of the world, and the common people bow their heads.

He wears a thick black robe and a dragon pattern crown robe, with twelve crowns, the emperor's ceremony, and his glory shakes the sky.

The celebrant saluted, raised the red flag, and raised the order: "Shanhu!

Ten thousand people worshipped, and Qi Qishan shouted: "Long live my emperor! Great Qi ten thousand years! Loyal to our emperor! God bless Great Qi!"

The sound of surrender was like a great wave that overshadowed the ceremonial music, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and echoing for a long time.

It turns out that this is, the Son of Heaven, this is the world.

After the ceremony, he began to offer grains and sacrifices.

And Chen Jingxing first asked the celebrant to present the dragon dagger, and he personally held the knife and announced that the head would sacrifice to heaven with the blood of the Son of Heaven.

Everyone was shocked, watching him pull up layers of brocade clothes, quietly pull out the sharp blade, and without being admonished, he decisively inserted it into his wrist, and immediately blood poured into it, he clenched his fist and let the blood flow into the golden copper.

This shocking scene shocked everyone, no matter who stood here at this time, their hearts would tremble and bow to this awe-inspiring majesty.

The yellow scarf wrapped his wrist, the dagger was put into the sheath, his face was calm, and the momentum became stronger, declaring that this move was to sincerely feel the sky, pray for the blessings of the common people, and protect the peace of the country and the people of Daqi.

He prayed for the peace of all the people, for peace in the world, and for all generations.

Only he didn't say that his move was fundamentally because his queen was ill, and the imperial doctor said that he was no longer able to return to heaven, but he still wanted to give it a try, wasn't he the Son of Heaven?

As for the world, he will personally govern, rule Daqi for the best of his life, and use his imperial way and the wisdom of a virtuous monarch to strengthen the country and secure the people, which he knows he can do, only life and death He can't control it, and he can save it.

……

After the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, the imperial doctor waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward to bandage and treat Chen Jingxing.

Most of the people who attended the ceremony retreated one after the other after completing the prayers, and only the important ministers and relatives were able to go around the altar with the emperor and pray for blessings.

After that, you will visit the shrine.

The senior officials of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites are waiting at the foot of the mound, and they still need to preside over the rest of the matter.

Gu Qingning was in the queue, secretly raised his eyes, and looked at the imperial battle that was circling, and he was always the one in the front, Chen Jingxing.

After the end, he stood on the high stairs and accepted the salute, Lu Yuanzhi and other high-ranking officials and the imperial family once again bowed to the mountain and shouted, and the ceremony was over.

Gu Qingning felt like a dream, after such a huge ceremony, her mind was a little ethereal, but she couldn't relax, because what was next was her home field.

After the salute, everyone got up, Chen Jingxing was still so dazzling, although Yin Jiheng wanted to ask about his injury, it was not easy to speak.

There is a figure moving forward naturally, with a high updo and beautiful face, a cloak with silver peacock pattern in the sunlight is eye-catching, and a pair of swelling hands stretch directly to the wrist on Chen Jingxing's hand.

"Your Majesty's wound hurts? How can there be such nonsense? It really hurts my heart. She stepped forward, checked his injuries, frowned, complained a few times, and walked with Chen Jingxing.

The Ninth Prince in the back also responded: "Yes, Brother Huang, you really scared me that moment." ”

He turned around, smiled kindly, and then gently took her hand, and respectfully helped her to walk up the white jade high stairs together: "Auntie, don't worry, it's just a small injury, I should be sincere, now Daqi has many disasters and difficulties, if you can really protect Sheji, it is worth the blood, let alone this blood?"

"Your Majesty is so focused on the governance of the society, my aunt is very pleased, there is such a virtuous king, it is the luck of the Great Qi, the blessing of the people, but the rule of a country, it is not enough to rely on the Ming Jun, there are virtuous ministers and loyal ministers in the court, it is the luck of the emperor. She turned her head slightly, turned her eyes and smiled, looking at the ministers behind her, her eyes swept over Lu Yuanzhi's calm face, and there was a proud smile on the corner of her mouth.

Chen Jingxing replied with a bow: "Aunt is right. ”

"Your Majesty is above, how dare I, an old woman, say something to mention? My aunt is old, so it's easy to worry too much about this old woman. She laughed to herself.

"My aunt laughed, where is my aunt old? Obviously, she is still the same as before. I still want my aunt to give me more advice in the future, if my aunt can stay in Chang'an to help me worry, I will have no worries. ”

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, his brows tightened, and his deep eyes seemed to have dark waves.

She only smiled, shook her head, and stepped on the highest step at the same time as Chen Jingxing, looking back at the courtiers behind her, Lu Yuanzhi and the others also stopped to look up at them.

Her gentle and thorough gaze swept over every important minister of the court, like water without a trace, and said: "You, be good, don't let your emperor worry." ”

Lu Yuanzhi, Yin Jiheng and the others only felt a hot pain on their faces, and they could only pause, and said in unison: "The eldest princess has learned a ...... lesson."
