Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the center of the main gate stands a huge sundial, when the sun's projection has passed the sun, when it enters the sun.

"Knock"

A loud bell rang from the depths of the palace.

As soon as the hour arrived, Zhengyang Palace, Emperor Luan drove up, followed by the queen's phoenix, because other concubines and the like did not have this qualification, so they could only follow behind on foot and with the hundred officials, a group of people went to Ziwei Palace, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky was set up in Ziwei Palace.

At the end of the day, everyone arrived at the altar of Ziwei Palace on time.

Beside the altar stood a man dressed in a pale yellow robe. This person is holding a whisk in his hand, his eyes are bright, and he looks extraordinary.

"See the Holy One, long live my emperor, long live long live." Seeing that the emperor was coming, this Taoist hurried to meet him thousands of times.

"Zhang Guoshi is flat." A stiff smile appeared on Emperor Xiangming's emaciated face, and he said to the Taoist.

Today, Emperor Xiangming wears a dragon crown on his head, wearing a black dragon robe, and a wide dragon robe is worn on a tall, thin and straight body, as if a gust of wind can blow him down, but because he has been on the throne for a long time, the majesty of the superior is naturally revealed, and no one dares to underestimate it.

The queens, concubines and others around them were all dressed in simple dresses, and everyone had a solemn expression on their faces.

"Your Majesty, now that everything is ready, the minister has calculated, and two o'clock is the auspicious time for the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky." The national teacher said respectfully.

"Okay, that's waiting, everything will be carried out according to the rules of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony." Emperor Xiangming's expression narrowed, and he commanded in a calm tone.

It's two moments.

"The hour has come, the sacrifice to heaven begins, the hundred officials kneel and worship, and the Son of Heaven ascends to the sky and rings the bell." The old eunuch shouted sharply in a sharp voice, and knelt down first after speaking.

"Knock, knock, knock." After three sounds, all the officials knelt down in unison.

The emperor straightened his clothes and walked up the stairs.

There are ninety-nine steps of the altar, and for every ten steps, the person below prostrates once. Seeing the emperor's thin body, everyone was worried about whether he would be able to complete the ninety-nine steps, but the emperor did not show the slightest fatigue, and walked the ninety-nine steps in one breath and came to the rooftop, which made the ministers below secretly sweat.

"Sacrifice to the heavens, offer a blessing." The voice of the national teacher in the audience came clearly.

......

A set of long and complicated rituals to worship the heavens began in this way, which was unbearable, and it was a great load for many elderly ministers, but no one dared to complain, after all, such an important day, if he accidentally angered the emperor, the consequences would not dare to imagine.

Everyone in the whole ceremony did not dare to make any mistakes, and they all proceeded meticulously according to the regulations set by the Ministry of Rites, and when all the procedures were down, three or four hours passed.

"Offer sacrifices." The national teacher said.

The Emperor held a torch in his hand and threw it into the pool of offerings, which had been prepared, and as soon as the torch entered it, a great fire ignited.

"Okay, the festival is over, you Aiqing have worked hard, you can go back and rest first, the palace banquet in the evening is indispensable for you." The Emperor said with a sigh of relief.

"Emperor Xie, the ministers are retiring."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, at this moment he was also sweating his back, and now he is only holding on to maintain his majestic image, fortunately, before coming to power, the hospital gave him a panacea, which is used to maintain physical strength, I thought it could support four or five hours, but my body is still too weak, and now it can't support it for long. Fortunately, it is much easier to go down from above, and there are special wooden carts that can be used to descend, which is specially designed.

On the minister's side, many people were already numb from kneeling and couldn't move, and they were barely able to leave with the support of the guards.

However, when the third prince left, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the national teacher next to the altar, and when he saw that the other party nodded, the corners of the third prince's mouth raised a slight arc, and then opened his eyes.

The others retreated one after another, only the sixth prince stood in the position of the third prince just now, frowning, his eyes contemplative, but after a while, he seemed to think of something, his eyes flashed, and he left in a hurry.

.....

The night is quietly coming, the lights are on, and the Bianjing City has returned to its former prosperity after the curfew. Because tonight is the last night of the year, the streets are much more lively than ever.

The annual banquet is set up in the Huikun Palace.

Before the banquet began, the ministers had arrived early, and each of them greeted each other with acquaintances.

The third prince wore a black python robe tonight, trimmed with golden silk threads, and his black hair was curled on the top of his head.

As soon as he entered the hall, many people rushed up to greet him, and the three princes all responded with smiles.

And then the six princes also walked in, and the six princes were dressed in a decent apricot yellow python robe tonight, which made the already handsome person more and more dazzling, and seemed to focus all eyes on him, but he didn't realize that he was used to this kind of scene, and still maintained this elegant demeanor.

The deep eyes of the third prince darkened.

"The sixth emperor brother is radiant tonight, it seems that there is something good, I don't know if I can share one or two with my brother." When the six princes passed by, the three princes said softly.

"Where is this Brother Three Emperors, tonight is the end of the year, a day for the whole country to celebrate, and all the unhappiness this year will end after tonight, so it is naturally worth rejoicing." The sixth prince said with a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

This seems to have a lot of meaning! However, the deep eyes of the third prince could not see the slightest emotion.

"That's right, sixth brother, it's time to end the year tonight." The third prince sighed faintly, as if he was regretting and relieved, and then Shi Shiran staggered away from him.

The sixth prince looked at the back of the third prince, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, in the past six months, with his understanding of his third brother, he would never stop on the throne, and the last sentence just now seemed to have an unusual deep meaning.

And most of what has happened in the past few months is also promoted by his third brother, but I don't know what the means of the immortal cultivator who supported him behind him. However, no matter what, I will see you tonight, I am not without a backhand, and when I think of this, the six princes have settled down a lot.

"Your Majesty, the queen has arrived." The shrill sound was still visible in the noise.

When all the ministers heard this, they fell to their knees.

And then the emperor and the empress came together.

Emperor Xiangming was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a crown, twelve bead curtains hung down, full of majesty, and a smile appeared on his emaciated face today.

The queen wore a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, with a graceful and luxurious bearing, and came in with Emperor Xiangming.

"Zhong Aiqing, please take a seat." After Emperor Xiangming and the empress sat down, Emperor Xiangming waved his hand below and said.

"Your Majesty."

"Tonight is the last night of the year, and I have something important to announce before the feast." Speaking of this, Emperor Xiangming paused for a moment and continued: "I am now old, and I have more than enough strength to deal with the affairs of the court, and now it is an eventful time, and the storage position is vacant, which is not conducive to the stability of the people. ”

After speaking, he gestured to his father-in-law next to him, who had gray hair but a ruddy complexion.

The hundred officials looked at each other and wanted to say something, but seeing the emperor's solemn expression, they also closed their mouths, but they were secretly guessing who would be chosen as the monarch in their minds, but most of the people had already guessed who it was in their hearts.

"Gao Zhuo, read it." After Emperor Xiangming finished speaking, the smile on his face seemed to dim a little.

"The minions obey." The father-in-law arched his body and shook open the bright and swaying holy decree that had been holding it in his hand.

Everyone got out of their seats and knelt down

"Mukden Carrier ,...."

Boom, suddenly there was a loud bang, interrupted before he began to recite a holy decree.
