Bianliang City, Taimiao. Emperor Zhao Zhe took the lead, and a group of civil and military ministers knelt behind him. As a national teacher, Wu Ming has privileges.

Before the entire Taimiao, Wu Ming did not kneel, and this time Song Huizong gathered the ministers here for nothing else.

Zhao Zhe wanted to sacrifice to the sky, originally according to the normal time, this ceremony should not be held at this time.

However, this sacrifice to the heavens was because of a big victory. At the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, on the altar, Zhao Ji was wearing a Taoist robe, and it was not Wu Ming who followed the nearest one.

It's the DAO Shilin Lingsu. There were only three people on the altar, and one followed was Zhao Huan, the future emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

He is the only one who has the qualifications to worship the heavens with the emperor, and the rest can only worship under the stage. As for? Why do you worship the heavens in advance? The destruction of the country has been victorious.

The country of Western Xia is like a piece of dog skin plaster, sticking to the Great Song Dynasty all day long, disgusting the Great Song Dynasty, and coming to lay the border of the Great Song Dynasty when he is free.

If they can't fight, they will send envoys to sue for peace, and the soldiers and civilians on the border of the Great Song Dynasty will be miserable. And now, the god of wealth is out.

directly destroyed the Western Xia, and if such a big victory is not sacrificed to the sky, it will be impossible to say.

It stands to reason that Zhao Zhe sacrificed to the sky, and Wu Ming, as a national teacher, also had the credit of destroying Western Xia, and he was also qualified to stand on the altar.

But Wu Ming is most afraid of trouble, and he directly refused to let himself come to power, who knows that this set of procedures for worshipping the heavens will come down.

How long will it take, and I am not stupid, and I am not worshipping my ancestors, so I don't do those red tape things on the altar.

Song Huizong Zhao Zhe also had no way to deal with his brother-in-law, and when there was really no way, the helpless Song Huizong had to be replaced.

He found Shilin Lingsu, a DAO who was quite famous in the Great Song Dynasty, to replace Wu Ming. Wu Ming was also happy.

He looked at Zhao Zhe on the altar, Lin Lingsu and the crown prince Zhao Heng tossing there, and thought that Zhao Heng was silent while laughing in his heart.

Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng, I'm afraid what you don't know is that your position as the crown prince will not be kept soon. Don't say that Zhao Zhe wants to abolish you.

Zhao Xitong, the child born to him and my sister-in-law Li Shishi, even if Zhao Zhe doesn't have this idea, do you think you can fight the system?

You're still proud of yourself on this altar. Although Zhao Zhe has not revealed this meaning yet, how can I not know Zhao Zhe's thoughts.

If Zhao Zhe hadn't planned to change the prince, he wouldn't have let me be Zhao Xitong's teacher and father-in-law, and this Zhao Zhe is also a smart person.

He knows: As long as they hold me tightly and have my support, then their old Zhao family's Great Song Dynasty will continue to prosper.

It's a pity that Zhao Zhe, you also misread me, this is the pattern, your pattern is too small, what I want is the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty.

But this Great Song is not the Great Song of your old Zhao family, but the Great Song of the people of the world. If it weren't for the solidification of the thinking of people in this era, they only recognize orthodoxy.

I have long since moved the electoral system of later generations.

Just when Wu Ming was thinking wildly, the bells and drums rang in unison, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens finally began, and Wu Ming looked up at the performance of several people on the altar.

I can't help but be glad that I didn't go up to the altar, otherwise I would have to knock myself to death just by kowtowing.

I saw that on the altar: the Taoist robe worn by Zhao Zhe was extremely luxurious, and the gold and silver threads were shining. Lin Lingsu began to sing and read the sacrificial text.

First praise the kindness of heaven and earth, and then praise the wisdom of the son of heaven. Then pray for a blessing. Pray for the dynasty to last forever, pray for the peace of the country and the people, pray for the smooth war, and pray for the world to be one.

Lin Lingsu's lengthy sacrificial text was read for a long time and finally finished, Zhao Zhe knelt down and bowed a few times, Zhao Huan followed, Zhao Ji knelt, he also knelt, Zhao Ji worshipped, he also worshipped.

Seeing that the father and son on the altar were kneeling and worshipping again, and were tossed a lot, Wu Ming thought that his decision to stick to the altar was very wise.

Whenever Zhao Zhe knelt down, the civil and military officials under the altar also knelt down, which made Wu Ming embarrassed.

Wu Ming secretly slandered in his heart: It is said that curiosity kills cats, this sentence is really not wrong, if it weren't for his curiosity.

I want to see what the ancient festival was like, and I came over for no reason to join in this excitement and do something.

I thought that if I didn't go to the altar, I could be exempted from kneeling, but who knew that I could lie down under the altar.

Originally, Song Huizong and Zhao Zhe treated themselves well enough, you see that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were kneeling there, but he was standing behind with a golden sword.

Now everyone is kneeling and kowtowing to the emperor, if they are still standing here so indifferently.

I'm afraid that after the end of the ceremony, I will be scolded to death by the scholars of the world, if it is another time when the scholars of the world scold themselves.

Naturally, he is not afraid, and he will even ruthlessly find someone to scold back, but this time he is at a loss.

Everything in the world pays attention to a rational word, and there is a way to go all over the world with reason, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason. This festival is no joke.

Everyone is kneeling down, but why don't you Wu Ming bow down because you are a god? You are a god, you can not bow down.

But after all, you have descended to the mortal world, and you must abide by the rules of the mortal world in the mortal world. The wrath of the crowd is unbearable. If only I were still standing here this time.

Then all the prestige he has accumulated before will be completely ruined because of this one thing.

Wu Ming, who had thought about everything, no longer dared to continue to stand there arrogantly, but let Wu Ming keep kneeling and worshipping, Wu Ming was unwilling.

He doesn't want to keep kneeling and worshipping the heavens like this, as long as his mind arrives, there is no need to keep kneeling and worshipping so tediously.

Wu Ming, who was in a dilemma, finally came up with a compromise solution, he first followed the civil and military ministers in front of him to bow down once.

Then he got up and squatted there, anyway, he was at the back of the line, as long as he wasn't standing, it wouldn't look so abrupt.

Wu Ming believes that at such a serious ceremony of worshipping the heavens, he is the only one who dares to be unserious. As for the others.

I'm afraid that no one dares to look around, and since no one is looking around, then who will find themselves squatting here.

As long as you squat here, it won't look so abrupt. The ceremony ended in a cumbersome procedure, and Wu Ming only felt that his knees were numb.

Standing up, Wu Ming rubbed his sour knees, he couldn't help but admire the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty, and the military general was okay to say.

After all, they have practiced martial arts since childhood, and whether it is endurance or the ability to endure pain, they far exceed ordinary people.

But those Wenchen and Wu Ming didn't know how they persevered. It's not kneeling with such a strong physique.

Just squatting there, all feeling the pain in their knees, and how much pain those who kneeled took.
