"PS: Hahaha, let me laugh three times to relieve my embarrassment. I was so ashamed to make a mistake in my busyness, in fact, the first two chapters have chapter titles that start with two hundred."

"The words on the ritual text have disappeared?"
Zhao Hongrun vaguely heard the conversation between the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Sheyou and the East Palace Prince Hongli, and was really taken aback.
You know, even a guy like him, who didn't take the rules seriously in the past, is cautious today, and you can imagine the solemnity and solemnity of today's sacrifice ceremony.
However, the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, messed up.
"Hey, now, this prince is going to be unlucky!"
Zhao Hongrun gloated and watched coldly, and at the same time, he quietly glanced at King Yongwang Hongyu who looked indifferent beside him, and his heart was slightly stunned.
Although he had long guessed that the second brother of King Yong would inevitably attack the prince of the East Palace in today's sacrifice ceremony, he really didn't expect that the routine that the second brother chose to start would be so vicious, if it went well, then today's prince of the East Palace would inevitably fall in prestige in front of nearly 100,000 people under the Temple of Heaven.
Even, this King Yong could ask someone to secretly release a rumor afterwards: Heavenly Father was dissatisfied with the East Palace presiding over the ritual of worshipping the heavens, so he covered the words on the sacrifice with divine power.
Don't doubt it, the Wei people will believe it.
In Dawei, who firmly believes in the Heavenly Father and the Mother of the Earth, if a person is crowned with a high hat that is disgusted by heaven and earth, it will be completely ruined.
Even if it is Zhao Hongrun, who is now famous as the king of Su, once he falls into a similar trap, the Wei people's views and evaluations of him will gradually reverse with the spread of rumors, not to mention the prestige and reputation of the East Palace Prince Hongli, who is far inferior to Zhao Hongrun.
Since ancient times, political framing has been nothing more than conspiracy and moral criticism, in comparison. The latter tends to be more tried-and-true.
Of course, it is very skillful to splash sewage, that is, you can't leave a handle that is easy to be seen through, and at the same time, you can't let the opponent find a chance to fight back, or even a desperate moment to try to pull you to the end together.
I remember that Luo Wenzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Literature, did just that. caused Zhao Hongrun to stay in the small black house of the Zongfu for seven days, but fortunately, at that time, he was also in the heart of the emperor, and he received the attention and attention of Wei Tianzi, otherwise, a prince who was ruined and had always been on the verge of power really couldn't help a priest of the ministry.
It's a pity that Luo Wenzhong's trick was high and high, but because of the hasty arrangement. There is no way to hide it from Wei Tianzi's eyes, but Wei Tianzi is too lazy to pay attention to it, after all, even if he wants to find the field, it is also Zhao Hongrun's business, and he is too small to deal with a courtier.
Compared with Luo Wenzhong, today's Yongwang Hongyu's means of framing the prince Hongli are more than one step higher.
Oration. It was written by Luo Ying, a staff member of the crown prince's Hongli, and then the person who kept the sacrificial text. It can be said that from the beginning to the end, the people of Yongwang Hongyu have never approached that sacrificial text, but the words on that sacrificial text have disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, as if the heavenly father in the dark is really dissatisfied with this prince of the East Palace.
"How did he do it?"
Zhao Hongrun looked at Yongwang Hongyu quietly.
Of course. Zhao Hongrun couldn't believe that there really were any so-called gods in this world, he was more inclined to believe that this was a man-made plot.
As for the promoter behind the scenes, oh, the royal brother of King Yong next to him is.
But the question is, how did this royal brother of King Yong come under the nose of the prince of the East Palace. Changed the words on the sacrificial text?
"Could it be that Luo Ying, the staff member next to the East Palace, is actually King Yong's person?"
Zhao Hongrun frowned and pondered.
In his opinion, there are only two people who have the opportunity to drop the sacrificial text, one is Luo Ying, and the other is Feng Shu, the head of the sect of the prince of the East Palace.
However, Zhao Hongrun immediately ruled out Feng Shu, because it was impossible for Zongwei to betray the prince he was loyal to, this was the dead rule of the "Zongwei system" formulated by the Zongfu, if that Feng Shu really betrayed the prince of the East Palace for some reason, then, although the world is under the world, this person will never be tolerated!
The Zongwei in the Zongfu, or the Yulin Army, will go out to kill Feng Shu, the traitor who has ruined the reputation of their Zongwei, and his relatives and friends, even if Feng Shu flees to another country.
But in fact, this situation will not occur at all, because Zongwei, who was raised by the Zongfu since he was a child and was instilled with the idea of loyalty to the sovereign since he was a child, would not betray the princes to whom he was loyal at all, even in despair, those Zongwei would only think about how to find an opportunity to commit suicide, otherwise, how could Zongwei Yu Linlang be called the most loyal army to the Ji Zhao clan in the Great Wei.
In other words, the only one who is suspicious is that Luo Ying.
Zhao Hongrun subconsciously looked at Luo Ying, but unexpectedly found that Luo Ying was staring at him at this time, with anger flashing in his eyes.
The first reaction, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little confused, he said in his heart This is about this king's, what are you staring at me?
But as soon as he thought about it, Zhao Hongrun suddenly reacted, and he finally realized that Luo Ying was not staring at him, but at Yongwang Hongyu beside him.
"Yo yo yo, that's interesting......
Glancing at the calm face of King Yong Hongyu, and then at the unhappy Luo Ying, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help laughing in his heart.
Because it is not difficult to see from Luo Ying's angry eyes that he is very angry at the predicament of the prince of the East Palace Hongli at this moment, and this person also guessed the mastermind behind it in an instant.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that this Luo Ying and Yongwang Hongyu may join forces to act, so Zhao Hongrun cannot easily assert whether this Luo Ying is from the East Palace or Yongwang.
Zhao Hongrun looked at the people on the Temple of Heaven at this moment with wide eyes, looking like he was purely watching a good show.
He really wanted to see how this event would end today.
Help the prince of the East Palace?
Zhao Hongrun never thought about it.
First, he didn't have any position to help the prince of the East Palace.
Second, even if he had the intention to replace the prince of the East Palace and avoid the Ji Wei court from making a fool of himself in front of the people of Daliang this time, he was also powerless, because he was not good at this kind of ritual.
If Zhao Hongrun had read the heavenly sacrifice text in advance, with his unforgettable memory, he could recite the sacrifice text instead of the East Palace and save the situation, but unfortunately, he did not look at the heavenly sacrifice text in advance.
But then again, even if Zhao Hongrun had read the text of the Heavenly Sacrifice in advance, he would not stand up.
Because it is obvious that King Yongwang Hongyu set such a trap in order to deal with the prince of the East Palace, to make him lose face and lose his prestige, if Zhao Hongrun stood up at this time, wouldn't he help the prince of the East Palace who had no good feelings, but destroyed the plan of King Yong, who had a good feeling?
As for the face of the imperial court, it is just a trivial matter, and the loose policy of governing the people of the Great Wei is destined to the imperial court and officials will be attacked and even insulted by scholars and civilians from time to time.
At best, it's just a joke.
Anyway, in Zhao Hongrun's opinion, it is not normal for the court to be scolded by its own people.
Of course, I am afraid that Zhao Hongrun is the only one who holds this kind of thought, at least at this moment, the scholar of the Ministry of Rites is already so anxious that his face is pale and his head is full of cold sweat.
It's no wonder that because Zhao Hongrun didn't pay attention to this kind of ritual from the beginning, he naturally didn't care what the consequences would be if there was a major change in the ceremony, but the Ministry of Rites Shangshu You didn't think much about it.
In fact, not only him, I believe that the vast majority of Wei people will attach great importance to this kind of ritual of worshiping heaven and earth, once the ritual goes wrong, what will be the consequences?
Truth be told, the consequences are unimaginable!
To exaggerate, at this moment, nearly 100,000 people under the Temple of Heaven will be panicked and uneasy, and regard this incident as disrespectful to God.
What happens if you are disrespectful to the Divine?
In the eyes of the Wei people of this era, once they anger the heavens, then the coming year of the Great Wei is bound to be full of disasters and disasters, natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Once this rumor spreads, it will spread throughout the Great Wei at an unbelievable speed, and I don't know how many Wei people will be panicked by the time, resulting in fluctuating public sentiment, instability and other bad sequelae.
Of course, in this regard, the imperial court has always had a remedy, that is, to throw out a few unlucky ghosts who have taken the blame, attribute all the blame for the failure of the ceremony of worshipping heaven to these people, and re-prepare the ritual of worshipping the heavens.
In fact, since ancient times, there have been quite a few court officials who have innocently lost their positions because of strange celestial phenomena.
And today, if this ritual of worshipping the heavens is really irreparable, then the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, and the Ministry of Rites, are undoubtedly the kind of people who are destined to take the blame.
Death, not to, but it is certain that he will be demoted, even if it is the prince of the East Palace, I believe that he will be eclipsed for a long time and have to fade out of the sight of the government and the opposition.
It is precisely because of this that at present, Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, and Shangshu Sheyou of the Ministry of Rites can be said to be sweating in a hurry.
In fact, at this moment, on the altar of heaven, except for Wei Tianzi's gloomy face, and the princes one by one, they were either purely watching a good show or gloating, and the officials and officials of the Ministry of Rites who assisted in the ceremony also lost their way one by one.
At the critical moment of the ceremony, the words on this ritual disappeared?
How can this be explained to the people who are waiting for the Great Liang under the Temple of Heaven?
At this time, Zhao Hongrun suddenly noticed that Luo Ying walked towards the prince of the East Palace, stood behind the prince Hongli and whispered a few words.
"What does he want to do?"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he saw this, and he was really a little confused.
And at this time, the nervous and frightened look on the face of the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, gradually receded, and he saw him take two steps forward, looking at the empty sacrificial text in his hand with a solemn expression.
At the same time, a voice of emotion and slow recitation of the sacrificial text sounded on the altar of worship.
"The Emperor of Great Wei respectfully sent the crown prince to pay homage to the ...... of the Heavenly Father Haotian" (to be continued.) )
