Chapter 108: Sin Yourself
On October 29, the ceremony of sealing the Zen of Dayue Mountain was held as scheduled. Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette had already gone to the top of the mountain in advance to make a point.
Mt. Daitake has three main peaks, which form a triangle with each other. The highest is Qingtian Peak, the altitude is as high as 3,000 meters, it is in the shape of a "golden" tower, the top is towering into the sea of clouds, there are steep cliffs on three sides, and the terrain is extremely steep. The second is the Qianyun Peak, the mountain shape is heavy and the obstacles are stacked, and the strange rocks are phosphorus. The welcoming pine is waving in the wind, and the pine waves are bursting. And then there's Mount Everest. There is the famous Zhuyu Lake on Zhuyu Mountain, the water of the lake is at room temperature in all seasons, the water quality is clear and blue, and it is a natural hot spring lake. The surrounding perennial flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing. Each has its own merits.
Early in the morning, the emperor led the princes and ministers from the beginning of Mount Everest, slowly walked to Qianyun Peak, and arrived at the top of Qingtian Peak at noon.
At this time, it was early winter, and there was light snow on the mountain, and the snowflakes fluttering in the sky added a different scenery to this ceremony.
The emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting under the canopy. All the princes and ministers wore sacrificial robes and stood behind the emperor in turn.
I have to say that the efficiency of the officials of the Ministry of Rites is extremely high. In less than two months, the ceremony was held so grandly.
In a burst of melodious music, ninety-nine eighty-one beautiful young girls dressed in colorful clothes danced. The posture is enchanting, the dancing posture is amazing, and it interprets the prosperity of the Dadu Dynasty.
After the song and dance, the emperor led the princes and ministers, personally walked to the altar, read the sacrifice under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, burned incense to worship the Haotian Emperor, and performed the ceremony of "sealing". At the end, he turned around gracefully and changed the altar to hold the "Zen" ceremony.
Qin Yue waited quietly on the side.
Such canons. She is a young woman with no official position and is not eligible to participate.
Just as the first qiē was about to be completed, the officials of the Ministry of Rites sang the praises of "Licheng" - unexpectedly. Something happened suddenly!
Suddenly, I heard a few loud "booms", and the earth suddenly moved.
In the blink of an eye, the altar that was originally intact suddenly shattered, and the three pillars of high incense that the emperor had just inserted were extinguished and fell obliquely to the ground, and the soot was scattered between heaven and earth with the shaking of the earth.
Everyone was taken aback and changed their faces in a panic.
Qin Yue immediately realized: There was an earthquake.
For earthquakes. The ancients had an instinctive fear. They usually use this natural disaster as a warning to the wrath of heaven as a way to express their dissatisfaction with the superior on earth.
Feng Chen's face suddenly sank.
If such a thing happens at the Zen Sealing Ceremony, anyone's face will not look good.
Fortunately, it was only for a short time. After a moment, calm had been restored. There was no trace of the collapsed and crumbling altars on the ground, and the soot all over the ground.
But all the princes and ministers present personally felt the shaking of the earth. He also saw the fall of the altar with his own eyes. Of course, it doesn't act as if nothing happened.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and each sees shock and doubt in each other's eyes.
The emperor had a dark face and looked at the ministers coldly with his hands behind his back.
The official of the Ministry of Rites knelt down in fear, "Please ask the emperor for forgiveness, this is none of the matter of the minister." ”
"It's none of your business, is it my business? It's clear that you were negligent in your duties and didn't check the altar properly beforehand. That's what caused such a pity—someone is coming!"
The fully armored dragon guard immediately stepped forward and bowed his head to obey the order.
The emperor said coldly: "Escort these people down." Wait for the fall!"
The ministers were immediately frightened, "Your Majesty, the ministers have been wronged!"
The emperor closed his eyes, a look of pain flashed in his eyes, and he waved his big hand, "Hold on!"
Due to this change, the ceremony had to be temporarily suspended.
The emperor walked down the altar expressionlessly and walked to the palace without saying a word.
Emperors of all dynasties held ceremonies here, so the size of the palace has expanded year by year, and it has gradually formed a huge complex of buildings.
Qin Yue silently followed at the end, and he didn't know how to comfort him at this time.
There is a scientific explanation for the movement of the earth in a society thousands of years later, but there is no one now.
One can imagine how much pressure he will be under.
If it's a natural disaster, that's it. If it's really artificial, it's terrible. Qin Yue couldn't imagine who had such courage and the strength to plan such a big event.
With Yan Yuan's strength, there may be this possibility, but he went to Nanyu Kingdom.
The rest of the ministers followed in silence, and entered the palace, and then bowed their heads in fear, for fear that the emperor's thunderous wrath would come upon them.
The emperor sat at the top and looked at the ministers below coldly. After half a sound, he said in a deep voice: "Since I ascended the throne, I have been worthy of heaven and the people of Limin, and I have never done anything worthy of my ancestors and ancestors. Whether the altar collapsed due to the earth's movement was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is still too early to say. The truth needs to be thoroughly investigated! He Qing listens to the order!"
He Huan, who was named, responded to the voice, "The minister is here!"
The emperor said solemnly: "I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly! Remember—what I want is the truth! If it is really my immorality, and God condemns me, I will issue an edict to punish myself, and I will not be guilty of heaven!"
The ministers below were shocked when they heard this.
Your Majesty, he's gambling on a big throne!
He Huan never thought that the emperor would say such strict words, and he stayed there in a daze and didn't dare to receive the order.
"He Huan!" the emperor shouted.
"Minister...... Minister...... The Minister's Order!" He Huanzanzan replied conscientiously, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and his legs trembled unconsciously.
The rest of the ministers all looked at Lord He of Dali Temple with sympathetic eyes.
He Huan suddenly felt a huge pressure.
If it is found out that this is really providential, then his sin will be great.
He Huan secretly made up his mind in his heart: no matter what, the mastermind behind the scenes must be found, and there must be no other accidents!
He Huan is the elder brother of the eldest princess and the horse He Quan. Whether it's for the He family, or for the black gauze hat on his head, he can't let the emperor have any problems!
Before the ministers could speak, the emperor waved them down.
When only the emperor himself was left in the main hall, Qin Yue walked in through the side door.
Feng Chen looked at her deeply, "Yue'er, do you believe me?"
Qin Jian nodded resolutely, "I believe that even if the earth moves is a natural disaster, it has nothing to do with you, it is just the movement of the earth's crust." ”
"Crustal movements?"
"Hmm. ”
"Don't you think it's too coincidental?"
"So you don't have to worry, a qiē will always come out!"
Feng Chen looked up and sighed, "Whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster." At the end of the day, I'm half responsible. ”
"You don't have to be so remorseful. As the Son of Heaven, you have done well enough!"
"Since you did a good job, why did you have such an accident?" Feng Chen's eyes showed deep pain, and Qin Yue couldn't bear it. (To be continued......)
