Prince Lin Jianzhi, the third prince Lin Chenghan, the fourth prince Lin Anyu, the fifth prince Lin Ziyan, and King Zhe Lin Juyao followed Lin Qitan into the simple house in turn, and Queen Jin Yuan Tingyi and the palace concubines, princesses, county lords, princesses Ling Xinmei, third princesses Fang Duanyi, and fourth princesses Wang Zhizhen and others also walked into the simple house for female dependents outside the three zhangs in accordance with the rules.

Lin Yiren still did not walk with everyone, this is the isolation he has felt since he was a child, even Lin Ziyan and Lin Yinyin can't get close to him on this occasion.

The cold wind was cold, rolling up the silver-gray big hair of the Lin Yi people, and the long hair like ink jade danced with the wind, which made the person as beautiful as jade tall, elegant, handsome, and unspeakably peerless from his bones.

The Lin Yi people slowly walked to the edge of the stone fence on the flat slope of the mountain...... The Owl Team and the Boundless Residence were on standby at any time, and apart from the frightened birds on the way, even he didn't notice any clues about the people and horses of the Glaive Country.

The ceremony of paying homage to the emperor's grandfather takes about an hour, and in the afternoon, this quiet empty mountain will be plunged into a bloody storm. He must enter the Nine Xuan Cave in the shortest possible time and steal the Bone Immortal Grass, Gu Xiaofan can't support it for long, the blood debt he owes, waiting for God to punish her, that innocent girl, he must let her live.

In the soft and indifferent lacquered eyes, there is a bottomless wisdom, and under the quiet and leisurely appearance, there is a calm, confident, and resolute heart.

Since he had already chosen a blood-stained path, he had no choice but to go on.

The time is approaching, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Fang Xin, the Ministry of Rites Lang Ling Xiufu led a group of officials to form a phalanx under the Yizun Pavilion, with a long and dull horn, Taichang Temple Qing Fu Yuanwu bowed down and led Lin Qitan, Yuan Tingyi and others out of the simple house.

One attendant held a golden basin and asked Lin to clean his hands, and the other knelt down and offered a handkerchief. At the same time, Yuan Tingyi and the rest of the royal people, under the guidance of the well-dressed deacon of the Ministry of Rites, marched in front of the officials, and also lined up in a phalanx.

In the phalanx, the queen and the prince were in front, followed by the princes and princesses of each palace, then the concubines of each palace, and finally Lin Juyao, the king of Zhe, Lin Yiren, and the county lord Lin Yinyin.

After Lin Qitan finished cleaning his hands, he was invited into the Yizun Pavilion by Fu Yuanwu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw Lin Qitan standing, and immediately paced out of the officials, stood in the forefront, faced everyone, and slowly unfolded a roll of bright yellow silk silk.

"The mountains are firm, the water is turbulent, the ancestors are graceful, and there are no boundaries......" Listening to Fang Caixin reciting the ornate sacrificial texts, Lin Yiren's thoughts were like a sea of clouds on the top of Jiuxuan Peak, surging and changing.

From the fifteenth year of Jin He to the thirteenth year of Wu Yuan, he changed from an ignorant drooping child to a hidden talent of Yiqun. Thirteen years, time flies, the vicissitudes of life, the figure of his father is becoming clearer and clearer in his heart, although the power of revenge is gradually becoming stronger over time, but Lin Qitan is cunning and cunning, scheming, I don't know when he will be able to avenge his father.

After a series of magnificent sacrificial words such as Fang Chip's belief in building a city and a stable state, the community is prosperous, accumulating goodness and being widely quilted, and blessing the people, the deacon of the Ministry of Rites bowed down and sent a stick of incense.

The sacrifice of incense is divided into three stages, one is to sacrifice heaven and earth, the second is to sacrifice to the ancestors, and the third is to sacrifice to the emperor. It is easy to understand the sacrifice of heaven and earth and the sacrifice of the emperor, and this sacrifice to the Holy Ancestor refers to the founding emperor Yi Emperor Lin Xiehuan that every emperor of the kingdom must worship.

The long and dull sound of the horn echoed again between the mountains, and everyone followed the procedures of the Ministry of Rites, followed Lin Qitan to the ground, bowed, sacrificed wine, got up, bowed to the ground, bowed, offered food and fruits, got up, bowed to the ground, bowed, incense, got up, and so on, and so on, and to the side of the letter to "now my descendants, sacrifice to the ancestors, must be difficult and dangerous, Ding Xin Tuqiang, the former servants and successors, carry forward the work of my ancestors to open the sky, the great gift together, Fu Wei Shangfang" to end the sacrifice of the opening ceremony, there have been several old ministers dizzy and black, almost standing unstable.

Poof, a chuckle suddenly came from behind Yuan Tingyi, and Concubine Yi Xia Huanqi suddenly looked nervous and covered Lin Yuemei's mouth.

This is the first time Lin Yuemei has come to Jiuxuan Peak, but it is not the first time she has participated in the worship ceremony, two years ago, when she bowed to the ancestors in Ziling during the Shangyuan Festival, Lin Yuemei had never lost the rules like this, and Lin Qitan suddenly frowned.

Lin Yiren's starry eyes swept coldly towards Wuxiang, who was standing not far away. Everyone thought that Lin Yuemei laughed because he saw Lao Chen standing unsteadily, but in fact, he saw it very clearly in the crowd, and what made Lin Yuemei laugh was a small turtle slightly larger than a copper coin shot from Wuxiang's hand.

When everyone followed the steps and bowed according to the ceremony, the little turtle suddenly fell from the sky and fell to Lin Yuemei's knees. When watching the little turtle with its feet facing the sky and kicking its paws, while the belly of the turtle says "ugly little turtle", how can a childish child not be attracted to laugh?

There was a sneer on the corner of Yuan Tingyi's lips, but he didn't attack. Xia Huanqi can be said to be the concubine who takes Lin Yitan to heart the most after Gu Liuying, and if she comes forward to punish her, she will be named jealous, so it is better to let it go, so that Emperor Ye can't see it.

"Blaspheme the ancestors, don't take her down quickly. Lin Qitan waved his sleeves with a calm face.

"Yes. Xia Huanqi hurriedly dragged Lin Yuemei down the slope of the mountain.

The sacrificial ceremony is just the beginning of worshiping Emperor Huan, compared to the Mausoleum of Emperor Zhenguo, Jiuxuanfeng cannot stay for a long time, and the time that can allow Lin Qitan to quietly remember his father here is only once a year at most. Lin Yitan needs to be alone, that is the memory of his father and him, in the memory, there are also the deceased Lin Yiran and the deposed Lin Mingxian and Lin Chunji.

The relationship between Lin and Emperor Huan is not deep, among the brothers, Emperor Huan loves the prince Lin Yiran the most, followed by the fourth prince Lin Chunji, as for the second prince Lin Mingxian, he is even not as favored as Lin Yitan.

After Lin Yiran's violent death, Lin Mingxian seemed to suddenly realize that good luck had fallen from the sky, and he actually planned to sit back and enjoy his success, ascend the throne, and compete with Lin Qitan, who had been planning for a long time. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Lin Qitan is not merciful to Lin Mingxian, and by the way, he accused Lin Chunji of having an affair with Lin Mingxian, completely disintegrating the forces of the two, and degrading the power center of the country.

Even after ascending the throne as emperor for many years, Lin Qitan was often shocked and puzzled by his father's self-isolation from the Nine Caves. A generation of emperors would actually die in Jiuxuan Cave for a woman, in Lin Qitan's opinion, it is absolutely impossible.

However, if this is not the case, how could this once-in-a-lifetime God-given opportunity fall on his head?

It seems that since childhood, Lin Yitan has often been dissatisfied with his low Lin Yiran. The first queen did not give birth to an heir, Lin Yiran's mother and Lin Yitan's mother have the same ordinary status, and the two are not even favored, but just because Lin Yiran was born a year earlier, the position of the crown prince who attracted thousands of people fell to Lin Yiran's head.

Lin Yitan is not convinced, as an emperor, he should use the art of power and scheming to control people, deter all directions, enjoy fame all over the world, surrender to the people, and make a thousand achievements, how can he be like Lin Yiran, and regard the benefit of the world and the people as his lifelong faith? Let such a person who has no imperial talent ascend to the throne of God, it is simply boiling a crane and burning the qin, and destroying the heavens, this emperor's dragon couch, he is more worthy of sitting on it than Lin Yiran.

There are many ministers who support Lin Yiran, and most of them are people who respect the virtuous and virtuous. Among the ministers ignored by Lin Yiran, Lin Qitan was keenly aware of the disappointment of Yuan Muhuai, Song Yu, Gui Shinan, Meng Puqian, Kong Huixiang and others who did not meet Huaicai.

Lin Yitan has always believed that there is no difference between good and bad courtiers, only the difference between who is effectively loyal, so he quickly won over a group of his own forces through various methods such as marriage, commissioning, admonishment, solicitation, and praise.

In the court, he is low-key and modest, in the palace of King Lin, he is ambitious, Lin Qitan waits for Lin Yiran to make mistakes day and night, and he has even found Lin Yiran's shortcomings...... The prince's mansion has only had one heir for many years, which is undoubtedly a fatal flaw for Lin Yiran, who is about to inherit the unification.

However, Gu Liuying was the crown princess given to Lin Yiran by Emperor Huan himself, so Lin Qitan had to continue to wait patiently.

Lin Yitan didn't expect that the opportunity would come so suddenly, Emperor Huan walked into the Jiuxuan Cave, and the edict clearly stated that Lin Yiran would ascend the throne as the emperor, Lin Yitan was already disheartened and collapsed, but Lin Yiran was immediately injured by the rolling stones outside the Jiuxuan Cave and was carried back to the prince's mansion.

There was only one chance, and Lin Qitan and Yuan Muhuai only had half an hour to decide on this matter. Lin Qitan trusted Yuan Muhuai, because his daughter Yuan Tingyi was not only the concubine of King Lin, but his grandson Lin Jianzhi was also Lin Qitan's eldest son. The bloodline of the Yuan Mansion will become the future emperor, and for Yuan Muhuai, this is obviously enough to make him excited.

At the critical moment, Yuan Muhuai cautiously mentioned that Ji Wanyao's mother family and Qiao Xinning, the secret guard of the Prince's Mansion, were originally of the same origin...... Lin Yitan knew that this was the opportunity given to him by God, if he missed this time, Lin Yiran would justifiably ascend the throne and become the emperor, even if Lin Yiran was ill in the future, it would be his son Lin Yiren who would inherit the throne, which could be said to have nothing to do with Lin Yitan.
