Chapter 473: Sacrifice to the Heavens

"Hua's pregnancy was in the past, and it was consulted by the imperial doctors, and there were detailed medical records kept throughout the pregnancy, and when the concubine gave birth, there was a female official waiting outside the door. I have already sent someone to find the female official of the year, and I have inquired in person, and she said that she saw the prince being carried out of the delivery room by Wen Po with her own eyes. Under such circumstances, it is really unimaginable that Fahrenheit can still steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, as rumors rumored, replace the crown prince with the son of Mu Enbo. "Emperor Changqing said.

If this can confuse the royal bloodline, then every emperor will probably be unable to sleep at night.

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea with a faint expression: "It's good that the emperor is not confused by rumors, but there are no absolutes in everything." Didn't the emperor hand over the affairs of the harem to the mourning family a few days ago, and recently the mourning family sorted out and found a strange thing. More than 20 years ago, only Deng An was left among the slaves and maids around Hua's side, and even the imperial doctors who invited Hua's peace pulse and the stable women who delivered the babies, without exception, all passed away one after another within a few years after the prince was born. In particular, the imperial physician who asked for the pulse of Fahrenheit during pregnancy, the prince fell into the water and died shortly after birth. ”

The Queen Mother said and took another sip of tea: "Of course, no book is written without coincidence, these are not enough to explain anything, but it is just inevitable that people will think about it." Speaking of which, the mourning family still remembered one thing, does the emperor still remember that Huada girl? ”

"Huh?" Emperor Changqing looked dazed.

What is a big girl and a little girl, he has a headache when he hears the surname Hua now!

The Queen Mother curled the corners of her mouth and said, "It's Hua's niece." Before marrying the first princess, the prince and the Huada girl secretly had a relationship, and in order to let the Huada girl enter the palace, the prince and the concubine were so troubled that even the mourning family knew. The mourning family even heard that the BGI girl had been secretly married. ”

Emperor Changqing opened his mouth: "I don't know about this. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "The emperor has every opportunity, how can this kind of palace private matter reach your ears." Does the emperor know what happened to the BGI girl in the end? ”

The Queen Mother paused and said slowly: "I committed suicide." At that time, the mourning family was still wondering, according to the rules, in addition to the crown princess, there were also two princes and Liangdi in the East Palace. The Hua girl entered the palace as a good woman, and she did not insult her identity, why would Hua rather let her niece commit suicide than agree to her entering the palace? ”

"What does this mean, Queen Mother?" Emperor Changqing's eyes tightened.

The Queen Mother smiled: "The mourning family doesn't mean anything, but now that I hear this rumor, if I take the rumor seriously, I suddenly have a more reasonable explanation for what Fahrenheit did in the first place." ”

Emperor Changqing was silent.

The Queen Mother didn't say much anymore, and said lightly: "In any case, the prince of a country is the top priority, and the emperor will not be wrong to think more and investigate." ”

Emperor Changqing was a little distracted, and only said after a while: "Well, I understand, thank you for mentioning the queen mother, I will go to see the queen." ”

Staring at the back of Emperor Changqing's departure, the Queen Mother curled the corners of her mouth.

She doesn't care whether the rumors are true or not, and the most important thing is to make the emperor change the crown prince.

Not to mention that the prince is likely to be alive now, even if there is no prince, she will not allow the son born to the woman who harmed the prince to ascend to that position!

Compared with the palace, after the tengu eclipse, the panic of the people has reached its peak, and the prince's non-royal blood is very popular.

In King Ping's mansion, King Ping laughed: "God really help me, it's too time for the tengu to eat the day!" ”

As for the omen of the great murder and the death of the country? Hehe, what is he afraid of, let a fake prince inherit the unification, what is it if he doesn't lose the country?

It can be seen that God is still eye-opening!

"What, my father said that the prince should pray to the heavens with him?" Hearing the return of his subordinates, King Ping was stunned.

First the earth moved, and then the tengu eclipse day, and the father actually wanted the prince to sacrifice to the sky?

Could it be that the father was indifferent to the rumors?

King Ping sneered.

Then he will see if his father will be indifferent when something happens to the sacrifice to the heavens!

That position, even if he can't get it in the end, he would rather be cheaper than other brothers than a Xibei goods!

On the Qin Tianjian side, he quickly selected an auspicious day for the sacrifice to the heavens, and set it seven days later.

The date was selected in such a hurry, only a few days of work, Taichang Temple up and down busy people turned over on their backs, large and small officials in the yamen to set up a bunk, and finally arranged a qiē on the day before the sacrifice.

"It's all arranged?" Taichang Siqing asked the two adjutants again.

The two young ministers both said yes.

Taichang Siqing was still not at ease, and ordered: "Take someone to thoroughly check it from beginning to end, this time the sacrifice to the sky is extraordinary, and there can be no mistake in the slightest." ”

"Yes."

Soon it was the day of worshipping the heavens, and Emperor Changqing, who had been fasting for several days, bathed and changed his clothes early, wearing a gown and a crown, and led the prince and the civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens.

When the people of the capital heard the news, they surrounded the Temple of Heaven outside the Temple of Heaven and waited honestly under the maintenance of order by the Imperial Forest Army.

The ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is solemn and complicated, Emperor Changqing stands on the high altar of heaven, and begins to worship the heavens and pray for blessings under the auspices of the Xuanqing Guanbei Zhenren.

The Temple of Heaven is the tallest building in the capital, and hundreds of people look up to see their emperor's every move.

The whole process was solemn and quiet, and even the young children who came with their parents to watch the sacrifice of the Son of Heaven were covered by their parents and were not allowed to make a sound.

In such a solemn atmosphere, Emperor Changqing was extremely pious and completed every step of the sacrifice to the heavens.

Then, the Son of Heaven stepped down, and the prince ascended to the altar.

The people couldn't help but talk about it.

"Why is it that after the Son of Heaven sacrifices to the sky, there are still people who go up?"

He looked on tiptoe with good eyesight, and hesitated: "That seems to be the prince." ”

"Prince?" When the people around heard this, the discussion became louder, and even a small riot broke out.

"Didn't you say that the prince was not the biological son of the Son of Heaven, so God would frequently warn him."

"Yes, yes, let that prince go to worship the sky, nothing will happen, right?"

"Silence, silence!" The Imperial Guards scolded the people and maintained order.

On the day of the sacrifice to the sky, although the Royal Forest Army had swords, they could not pull them out against these flat-headed people, and it was quite difficult to control them, and the scorching sun was in the sky, and they were already sweating profusely.

"Look, what's that!" An exclamation suddenly rang out, followed by more exclamations.

The Imperial Guards didn't care about scolding, and turned their heads to look at those people's gazes, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I saw that the nine heavenly flags on the high Temple of Heaven suddenly spontaneously combusted in the wind, turning into a ball of fire, as if nine small golden crows wanted to fly to the sky.

Just when people were stunned, one of the Heavenly Sacrifice Pillars collapsed and smashed not far from the prince's feet, splashing countless sparks and making an earth-shattering sound.

After the strange silence, there was the excited shouts of hundreds of people: "The eyes of the fish are mixed, the prince has no virtue, please change the prince to the emperor!" (To be continued.) )
