After the crown prince's trip to the south in place of the Son of Heaven was finalized, all the next actions were carried out quickly and orderly.

On the eighth day of the 11th month of the 352nd year of the sea period, it was a good day for Shang Zhu to travel through divination.

Before leaving, the prince had fasted and bathed for seven days (four days of fasting and three days of fasting). In contrast, the second prince's travel was much simpler, and the Spirit King sent him to the north the next day.

During this period, Taizong Shaoli Gong drafted an edict to be promulgated with the princes of the south:

Today, the prince of Ji Zheng on behalf of the Son of Heaven on the southern tour of the princes, must ensure that His Royal Highness the Prince, the road is unimpeded, the stay is unimpeded, the people avoid avoidance, no nuisance, all the princes and monarchs, send troops to escort, hospitality, if violated, the Central Empire will be severely punished.

In order to show the majesty of the Central Empire, the Spirit King specially ordered five thousand Xuanjin troops to accompany him.

This was a temporary decision of King Ling, and Chang Jin and others strongly opposed it, on the grounds that the northern princes were eyeing Haojing, and once the elite Xuanjin army in the Xuanyuan army was sent away, who would protect Gyeonggi?

King Ling insisted that he must send troops to accompany him, but the ministers tried their best to dissuade him, the two sides have been deadlocked, seeing that the atmosphere in the palace is becoming more and more delicate, and it will break up unhappily at any time, Shang Zhu stood up at this time to play a round: "Your Majesty, you can send the invincible imperial sailors to the south, which can also show the prestige of the Xuanyuan Kingdom." ”

Shang Zhuyi made this suggestion, and the Spirit King agreed on the spot.

Chang Jin didn't object, he just looked at Shang Zhu suspiciously, and he didn't know what kind of medicine this person was selling in his gourd: Is this Taibu really stupid or pretending to be stupid, the Xuanshui Army is notoriously weak, but it's okay, anyway, it's all pretending, these old, weak, sick and disabled people are always better than the honor guard.

In addition, it is reported that the prince has been very close to Shang Zhu recently, and it may be that Shang Zhu privately persuaded the prince to agree to tour the south on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Chang Jin couldn't help but glance at Shang Zhu more, seeing him smiling, looking harmless to humans and animals, he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

In this way, the elite Xuanjin Army, which originally accompanied the prince on patrol, was transformed into the Imperial Sailor Xuanshui Army at the bottom.

Before leaving, Prince Ling led hundreds of officials of the imperial court to the ancestral temple to hold an ordination ceremony for the prince. This is the extremely high sacrificial ceremony of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, only one level lower than the highest level of the ancestors and emperors of the past dynasties, which shows how much the Spirit King attaches great importance to this matter.

The spirit king wears a dragon robe, hundreds of officials wear court clothes, the soldiers wear strong and stubborn, stand on all sides, hunt with flags, chariots are lined up, the guards are brave, the sacrifice jade silk display, the number of people is large, the formation is huge, second only to the spirit king who ascended the throne to sacrifice to the sky, and publicized the scene of the world.

Shang Zhu occupies a hexagram, which is a teacher hexagram, this hexagram means that the danger is smooth, he muttered a few times in his heart, but his face was overjoyed, and he said to the Spirit King: "Your Majesty, the hexagram shows that the southward journey is smooth, it is a great auspicious hexagram, and God blesses the omen of Xuanyuan Kingdom." ”

"Very good. The Spirit King was very satisfied with the results of the divination, turned his head to Qinghong and said, "You can start." ”

"Burn incense. "The person in charge of presiding over the ordination ceremony is Lihuo, the new pavilion master of the Sitian Pavilion.

Bundles of vermilion incense were thrown into the Kowloon Bronze Ding, and it didn't take long for smoke to rise and soar.

Shao Ligong had already prepared the sacrificial text, and all the Spirit King had to do was to read it out loud:

The thirty-second Sun Qing of Xuanyuan announced to the Xuanyuan Emperor:

In the twenty-eighth year of Tianyuan, the age of Bingzi, on the 30th day of October Ding Mao, the Qing Dynasty told the ancestor Xuanyuan Emperor of Heaven, the monarch was born in ancient times, followed the heavens, made democracy, divine merit and holy virtue, and hung the law to this day. However, since the lonely ascended the throne to Xiang, he is twenty-three years old, the world is chaotic, the heroes are in chaos, the people are gathered to use force, the Xuanyuan Kingdom is in trouble at home and abroad, the lonely lotus emperor and the queen of heaven are dependents, the vertical system protects the people, and the dynasty is in the midst of the wind and rain. Worship the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is not ignorant, the first rite is not over, Furke bows, respects Qian Wenchen, respects the sacrifice, only tells the Emperor of Heaven, but the Emperor Xinge. Feast!

King Ling read the sacrificial text and said to the ministers: "The lonely king came to pay tribute to the ancestors of Xuanyuan today, and now the prince will replace the lonely king to tour the south, unite the princes, and let the Xuanyuan Dynasty be passed on for eternity and remain on Kyushu forever." ”

The ministers of the DPRK and China were again flattering.

The majestic and powerful drum beat rhythmically.

In order to let the Xuanshui Army obey the orders of the prince, the Lingwang specially canonized Prince Ji Zheng as the generalissimo of Tianwen and led the Xuanshui army.

"Prince Ji Zheng. The Spirit King swept away his usual fatigue and displayed the majesty and normality that a generation of kings should have.

Since Ji Zheng became sensible, he has participated in no less than 50 large and small sacrifices with the Spirit King, or witnessed or personally participated in the sacrifices, and he has a thorough understanding of the different sacrifice scenes.

"Erchen is here. Ji Zheng, who was already waiting at the bottom of the hall, took a step forward and bowed to the Spirit King. Today he wore a military uniform, and he was very majestic.

The Spirit King took out the long sword in his hand, held it high, and said loudly: "The life of Sheji is in the general's body, and the country is asking for it, and I am willing to ask the marshal to welcome it." ”

"The life of Sheji is in the last general, and the country is asking for it, and the commander is willing to welcome it. Ji is reading along.

"From now on to the heavens, the marshal will rule it. ”

"From now on, the one who goes up to heaven will be the one who is handsome. ”

"Whoever goes down to the abyss from now on will be controlled by the marshal. ”

"Whoever goes down to the abyss from now on will be the commander of the system. ”

"The marshal took the Xuanyuan sword, and the sword wielder moved forward bravely and was invincible. ”

"Ben Shuai received the Xuanyuan sword, swore to serve the battlefield, and died. ”

The Spirit King drew a figure of eight with the long sword in the air, put the sword into the sheath, and handed it to Ji Zheng.

Xuanyuan ancestral Xuanyuan sword is an artifact, hidden in the palace, descendants can not use it casually, even if it is the ordination ceremony before the expedition, it is only an imitation bronze sword made in a ratio of one to one, compared to the original sword of course less than one ten-millionth, but the decoration is extremely luxurious, not worse than the real Xuanyuan sword, at the same time this sword is also equivalent to the majesty of the Xuanyuan sword, holding the king of the sword, every word and deed represents the king's will, violators of the order will be killed.

"General Sun Yun. The Spirit King shouted again.

"The minister is here. Sun Yun, who had been prepared in the audience, knelt down at this time.

Maybe it was because his belly was too big, but after Sun Yun squatted down, he adjusted it slightly several times before he felt more comfortable.

The ministers next to him just wanted to laugh when they saw it, if it weren't for Sun Yun's achievements when he was young, no one would be able to tolerate such a pot-bellied person to continue to stay in the military department.

"This king gives you the Quartet Qingyang Zun, and I hope you will give this thing to all the princes, and tell the princes to live in peace with each other and jointly support the royal family. A temple man came up with a red brocade tray, on which was placed a square green sheep statue, Qinghong respectfully handed it to the spirit king, and the spirit king handed this statue to Ji Zheng.

If in wartime, the general goes on an expedition, the token granted by the king to the general is an axe, but this time the southern tour is the crown prince on behalf of the Son of Heaven, not only added the authorization ceremony of the long sword, but also added the Quartet Qingyang Zun on behalf of peaceful coexistence.

Sun Yun took over the Quartet Qingyang Zun and said in a loud voice: "The country cannot be governed from the outside, the army cannot be ruled from the middle, the two hearts cannot be the king, and the suspicion cannot be the enemy." The ministers were subject to the previous authorities, and they learned that the Quartet Qingyang respected the spirit of peace, made friends with the princes, and assisted the prince to travel south safely. If you don't allow it, the minister doesn't dare to do it, if you allow it, the minister will not do it. ”

"This king promises. ”

"Obey the holy word, and go. ”

After Sun Yun finished speaking, he saluted King Ling and Ji Zheng and retreated to the army, and ordered his subordinates to travel from the north gate (fierce gate, which means willing to smear the liver and brain to the ground and die on the battlefield).

"Prince, this trip to the south, in addition to remembering our agreement and sincerely inviting the king to go north, we must also show the princes the sacrosanctity of the royal family. The Spirit King patted Ji Zheng's shoulder, suddenly leaned into his ear, and whispered five words: "Elixir of life." ”

Before Ji Zheng could react, the Spirit King urged him to set off: "Go." After speaking, he first returned to Jiande Palace with hundreds of officials of the imperial court.
