The suburban sacrifice is one of the royal rituals, scheduled on the first day of March every year, led by the emperor to the suburbs of Beijing, to sacrifice to the God of Haotian, and pray for the peace of the country and the people. At that time, the emperor will help the plough and plough shallowly, and the queen will also have a pro-mulberry gift, which is a major event in the Dading court.

After more than 80 years of revision and improvement, the rituals and laws of the suburban festival have been very complete, and the court, including the emperor and queen, are familiar with the suburban sacrifice. Therefore, although the suburban festival is a major event, it did not cause any waves, and in the end, it is nothing more than four words left.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, and Si Tiantai were in their own affairs, and the suburban festival could be completed smoothly. Since Emperor Chongde ascended the throne, the suburban sacrifices have been completed in half a day, and the remaining half day is for the monarchs and ministers to enjoy the spring scenery in the suburbs of Beijing.

For most officials, the suburban festival is actually a spring festival to enjoy the scenery, but it is just wearing official uniforms. Chongde's ten-year suburban festival must be the same.

At this moment, Shen Du rode a horse and followed the entourage of the suburban festival, he was still wearing a crimson official uniform, and the silverfish bag pinned to his waist swayed with the horse's steps.

He served as a civil official and led the post of the general of the tiger benzhonglang, and when he was sacrificing in the suburbs, he not only handed the sacrificial book to Emperor Chongde, but also guarded Emperor Chongde, and his responsibilities were particularly heavy. Naturally, the mood will not be relaxed, he is pursing his lips, his eyes are sharp and sweeping the team, less of the modesty in the Xuanzheng Palace, but makes people feel a burst of shock and trembling.

Standing next to the Son of Heaven out of the palace, at this time, he wanted to unsheath the sword, which was exuding a cold sword aura, and in the eyes of those who cared, it was a little more complicated and indescribable.

This time the suburban festival. The Hidden Princesses also came. In the past, he always refused to participate in the suburban festival under the pretext of poor health, but this year it is unprecedented. Such an immortal is in the spotlight wherever he goes, but he still looks like an ethereal remnant, and he cares about everyone's scrutiny.

Changyin Gongzi and Shen Du's eyes collided, smiled at each other and said hello, and then turned away.

The young man looked at the long sacrificial procession, his beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, always worried about what would happen. The line of the Anguo Mansion laid in the palace. Several transfers related to the suburban festival were found. This transfer involved the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, Shaofu Supervisor and Dianzhong Province, and the clues were too complicated to figure out anything for the time being, and he didn't know what these transfers were aimed at.

Thereupon. So he followed. I want to see if the step-by-step suburban festival can be carried out as usual.

in the accompanying procession. There were also two people who paid unusual attention to Shen Du. These two people are Qin Ji and Zhu Xuanxin. They paid attention to Shen Du, not for anything else, but for fear that Shen Du would sabotage their plan.

Shen Du was known for his prudence and subtlety in the court. If he found out that there was a problem with the big crown of the Shaofu Supervisor's Weaving and Dyeing Department, then the matter would not be done, and they would make a plan in vain, and the weaving and dyeing workshop would not be able to get it.

Qin Ji and Zhu Xuanxin's gazes were not deliberate and frequent, as if they were inadvertently passing over Shen Du's body, but Shen Du was such an alert person, he noticed it when Qin Ji and Zhu Xuanxin saw him for the second time.

Shen Du observed Qin Ji and Zhu Xuanxin without a trace, and found that Qin Ji and Zhu Xuanxin talked from time to time, and the expressions of the two of them were not very natural, especially Qin Ji, who seemed to be a little nervous. Nervous, of course, for something.

Shen Du's eyes turned, and then he whispered a few words to Chen Wei, and saw that Chen Wei rode to the end of the team "deservedly", so he was relieved, and then drove the horse closer to the royal car.

It didn't take long for them to come to the place of the suburban sacrifice, which was not far from the south gate of Jingzhao, after all, the emperor had a hundred officials, and it was impossible to go too far.

A three-tiered tent has long been erected here, and several small houses have been temporarily built behind the tent to store the items needed for the suburban festival. At this time, there were many people standing on the edge of the field, and these people were carefully selected by the imperial court, and they were all innocent within three generations to stand here. The emperor's suburban sacrifice is for the peace of the country and the people, of course, ordinary people must witness it.

This sacrificial ceremony, no matter how it was conducted, was to consolidate the prestige of the Son of Heaven and to declare the existence of imperial power. Therefore, the ritual of this sacrifice is very exquisite, and the emperor must personally go down to the field to personally support the plough for cultivation, and then the emperor burns incense and a bigger crown, and leads hundreds of officials to kneel and pray, and then the ceremonial officer recites the sacrificial book, and raises the dance of dry power, and finally throws the sacrificial book into the burning straw, and the suburban sacrifice is completed.

After the emperor and queen arrived at the sacrificial tent, they were heavily guarded by tiger soldiers. Of course, the emperor will also have tiger soldiers to follow him in the fields, and Shen Du will stay in the sacrificial tent and be responsible for the security and safety here. Just when Emperor Chongde was about to go down to the field, Chen Wei quietly came to Shen Du's side.

"Master, there's a big problem with those two big tiaras! The officials of the young government were all stunned, and the back of the sacrificial tent was almost overwhelmed......" Chen Wei said in a low voice. Fortunately, Shen Du deliberately stood a little far away from Baiguan, and these words did not reach the ears of others.

When Shen Du arrived at the small house behind the sacrificial tent, he saw Song Hong's expression pale in the weaving and dyeing department, and several other officials of the Shaofu Prison were also plain, their eyes were confused and frightened looking at the box containing the big crown, trembling and speechless.

And beside them, there was a person who was being crushed by the tiger soldiers, unable to move at all.

This person is stuffed with a ball of straw in his mouth, and he can't say anything when he screams. His face was flushed, there were still a few bruises and a few blood marks on his face, and his green court clothes were torn a few times, and he looked very wolfish.

Seeing this person, Shen Du's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that it was this person who hung him up, and things were much better than he expected! This person, he knows, is the nephew of Cheng Fang Song from Liupin Taichang Temple, Shangshu Ling Fang Jixin!

"What's going on?" Shen Du looked at the big Qiu Mian in the box, lowered his voice, and asked knowingly.

"Fang Song, this guy actually ruined the big crown that the emperor and others can wear! The emperor must ask for the guilt, it's over, it's over......" Song Hong gritted his teeth and said, his hands trembling and holding the big crown that had obviously been bitten a few times, tears falling down in his eyes.

The crown is good, but this big fur has been torn a few times in the middle of his chest, and he can't wear a suburban sacrifice at all! And it's both ruined, how can that be good? The person who destroys this big Qiu is equivalent to killing him, and this revenge is not shared!

Thinking of this, he looked at Fang Song viciously while crying, eager to gnaw his flesh and tear his bones!

The rest of the Shaofu prison officials also looked at Fang Song like an enemy, if they hadn't handed him over to the emperor for disposal, they would have beaten Fang Song to death a long time ago.

Shen Du squinted at Fang Song, who shook his head desperately, and a trace of doubt leaked out of the corner of his eyes. Fang Jixin's nephew, how could he be so stupid and used as a gunman?

He was about to say something when he heard a surprised cry from behind him: "What's going on?" Lord Shen, are you here too? ”

This voice is faintly debauched, and there is a sense of condescending contempt, this is ...... The voice of the Seventh Prince Zhu Xuanxin.

Shen Du turned around, bowed his head slightly, and said, "I've seen the Seventh Highness and the Prince." "Zhu Xuanxin is standing next to him, who else is not Qin Ji?

These two people each brought a servant, as soon as they stepped into this small room, it seemed to bring a burst of oppression and power, Song Hong quickly wiped his face and forced himself to calm down, while Fang Song was struggling desperately, screaming "whining".

Zhu Xuanxin's gaze fell on Fang Song, and he said as if in a trance: "Isn't this Lord Fang?" How could it be like this? Quickly take away the straw, how can you treat the court officials like this? ”

"My lord, he ruined ......" Song Hong was in a hurry, so he interjected, but was glanced at coldly by Qin Ji, only to feel suffocated in his heart, and the words were incomplete.

Shen Du stood quietly aside, like an outsider, looking at Zhu Xuanxin and Qin Ji's response, and there was even some curiosity on his face.

After Fang Song was taken off the straw, he kowtowed his head and said: "Your Highness, the prince, the lower officials didn't do anything, they just wanted to see if there was anything wrong with the big Qiu Mian, Lord Song and the others caught me, and made the lower officials speechless!" The lower officials were wronged...... Wronged ......"

Zhu Xuanxin picked up the big fur to take a closer look, and then said: "No, these cuts are clearly bitten off by some animal, and there are paw prints." Does Master Fang have what it takes to do this? ”

"If Lord Fang has such a ability, this son would like to see it." Qin Ji lightly added this sentence, confirming that it was impossible for Fang Song to cause these damages.

The words of these two nobles made Song Hong and the others change their complexions, but Zhu Xuanxin's next words were not just as simple as making their complexions change.

I only heard Zhu Xuanxin angrily ask: "On this big fur, why are there only ten chapters of ornamentation?" It seems that there is still a gap between the Chinese worm and the two chapters of Zong Yi! Lord Song, what's going on?! ”

Song Hong forgot to even tremble now, and could only stare at Zhu Xuanxin with wide eyes, and there was a dead silence in the small room. Two less chapters of ornamentation, the sin is the same as the great disrespect, this is to the whole family to be questioned!

Shen Du, who had been quiet, flashed in his eyes when he heard the two chapters missing. It turns out that the doorway is in the ornamentation, and there are two chapters less, which is really thanks to them!

At this time, a person appeared outside the small room, he was dressed in white and had bright eyes, and he was surrounded by a fairy spirit. He seemed surprised to see Shen Du and Qin Ji and the others, and immediately reminded: "The emperor has already put on a big crown and is ready to take a hundred officials to sacrifice Haotian, everyone come out quickly." ”

Hearing the words of the Changyin Prince, Qin Ji and Zhu Xuanxin were stunned, unable to believe what they had heard. The emperor has already put on a big crown and is ready to sacrifice to the sky? How is this possible? Isn't the big tiara ruined?

Only Shen Du looked calm, and raised his head and smiled at Changyin Gongzi.

(Just as I got up at half past four, I really didn't want to break off at random, please don't give up!) I don't know if it's Kavin or something else, but I can't finish a chapter until now. 520, a lot of tears. (To be continued......)
