At the place where the horn sounded, there were naturally countless Qianniu Wei and Jinwuwei guards guarding Emperor Wu Zetian to participate in the Jiuding sacrifice ceremony.

Tedious ceremonies need no introduction. Wu Zetian looked at this incomparably spectacular scene, and his heart was surging!

The year before last, Tianshu was completed, and today Jiuding was completed, and the Khitan rebellion was awarded immediately, which was the most glorious moment of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the pinnacle of his life!

I struggled all my life, and finally got this glorious moment.

I saw that King Neishi and Shan waved their hands, and the sound of gongs, drums, and horns at the scene all stopped.

"Your Majesty, the ceremony can begin! Today's guide has Weichen in person! Wang Jishan said softly.

When Wu Zetian heard this, he smiled and nodded lightly: "That's fine, it's hard for the prince!" ”

"This is the duty of Wechen!"

Although the Ming Hall is large, the space inside is limited after all, and it can accommodate hundreds of people to watch the ceremony at a time.

The first batch of people who followed Wu Zetian into the country were permanent staff officers and civil and military officials above the fifth rank.

"Your Majesty, please come in!"

This sacrificial ceremony is solemn and solemn, and the order of sacrifice is first east and then west, and there is no chaos. Ancient people believed that there were gods, and if they messed up the etiquette, they would offend the gods, which was a great thing.

Before Jiuding, a big case had already been placed, and it was the gift of the prison, that is, pigs, cows, and sheep must be ready!

"Please Luantai Nayan Yao Xianggong read the sacrifice on behalf of His Majesty!" Wang Jishan shouted.

"Yes!" , Nayan Yao Xuan leaned forward, took the sacrificial text handed over by the person next to him and began to read:

"The first to come out of all things is a noble position; has seen the eight Hong, and there is no violation of the way of sounding. Listen to Shuo in the palace, explain the Maofan of the Emperor Xuan, the spirit rune through the gods, and the scenery of the emperor. Yin Renyang Pavilion, Qing Jue prepares gifts; Ji's Yuantang, Tongzhang jointly present ......"

After he finished reading it, next, the emperor should lead the hundred officials and make a great salute to heaven and earth.

At this time, Wang Jishan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, firecrackers are about to be set off!" This is invented by King Donglai, it is made of gunpowder, and the sound is a little loud, so don't be frightened, Your Majesty! It's best to cover your ears. ”

"Well, that's not necessary, I know it in my heart, so you can let it go! I've heard that voice before. Wu Zetian didn't care at all.

Wang Jishan took a look, since the emperor didn't care, let it go!

So he waved his hand outside the door, and an official in Tsing Yi stepped out of the door and ordered firecrackers to be set off.

In an instant, but the deafening sound of firecrackers rang out! The firecrackers made 10,000 sounds, but they were very good for a while.

"How many firecrackers have gone off?" Wu Zetian asked, feeling that the sound of this firecracker was very long.

"Your Majesty, the 10,000 rings prepared by King Donglai! In order to imply the meaning of long live the Great Zhou! Weichen thought it was very appropriate. Wang Jishan reported.

10,000 rings! Well, that's good. Wu Zetian was very happy in his heart: "In the future, all ceremonies will be firecrackers!" Let the Firearms Department produce more! ”

"Yes. Weichen asked Feng Ge Luan to be under the stage, and Shang Fang Jian is! ”

When the firecrackers were finished, music began to play next to them. Wu Zetian, under the guidance of Wang Jishan, began to worship heaven and earth!

After worshipping heaven and earth, it is time to offer wine, and after offering wine, music must be played again, so that the ceremony in which the emperor in the palace participates ends.

Then there are the hundred officials outside the hall, who come to worship the heavens for the first time, and finally everyone has to eat a meal.

As mentioned earlier, there are three procedures: the first offering, the second offering, and the final offering.

"Your Majesty, please." Wang Jishan shouted.

Beside him, a waiter served a large gin jue, which was full of fine wine.

Wu Zetian picked up the wine jue, walked forward slowly, and toasted the heavens, the earth and the gods.

After he had finished paying homage, it was Yaxian. This dedication is a very important position, and everyone is looking forward to it. Because it might have some kind of symbolic meaning.

In the eyes of hundreds of officials, there are very few people who are qualified to be Yaxian, almost only one person, this person is the imperial heir Li Dan, and everyone naturally turns their attention to him. He has given the surname Wu, and his name is Wudan.

"Please offer wine to King Liang." Wang Jishan shouted again.

When everyone saw it, how could it be him? Why not the heir?

When Liang Wangwu heard this, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and almost fainted without excitement! This is the status of a prince or a prince!

My aunt finally didn't forget herself, it seems that this prince is none other than herself!

Wu Sansi hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the wine on the plate held by the waiter, and began to offer wine.

After he had finished offering wine, since it was the final offering. People weren't sure who it was, but they stared at Si Binqing, Dingwang Wuyouji, and Wei Wang Wuchenghei. As is customary, only these three people are eligible.

Looking at Wu Chenghei again, his already sick face became even whiter! He realized a few years ago that it was no fun to be a prince, and when he saw it today, he was even more disappointed. His body trembled incessantly, and he was very excited.

Wu Yan looked at it, this Wei King Wu Chenghei, he looked sick, and he didn't have a few years to live!

"Please offer wine to King Donglai!" Wang Jishan shouted loudly.

What the? King Donglai offers wine? The whole hall was silent, and people were shocked!

What qualifications does he have? is neither Si Binqing, nor has he yet been crowned a prince, what's wrong? Why is this so abnormal?

Wu Yanzhi was also surprised, he never expected that he would let himself offer wine, which was a great honor. But he's young and quick to react. Immediately leaned forward, picked up the wine from the waiter's plate, and walked to the altar.

He was extremely excited in his heart, he was finally not busy in vain, Wu Zetian was still very fair. This at least suggests that he may be very hopeful of becoming a prince.

Li Bochang, the secretary of the division, Cui Shilian, the young eunuch of Shangfang, Shi Qi Xuan, the palace attendant, and Sun Heng, the palace attendant, and several other Wu Yanzhi's cronies were pleasantly surprised.

Wu Youning, the king of Jianchang, and Wu Youji, the king of Ding, were both smiling and silent.

After the three of them finished offering wine, Wu Zetian led the hundred officials to kneel and kowtow, and in this way, the ceremony ended.

Then, Wu Zetian took hundreds of officials to watch the nine glittering bronze tripods.

"Yanzhi, this big tripod made of a hammer is really atmospheric, and even gold is saved. I was going to take out a thousand taels of gold! Wu Zetian looked at several big tripods and was amazed.

Especially the Yuzhou Ding, which is so tall and magnificent, has the potential to swallow thousands of miles.

At this time, Yang Zaisi, who was in charge of Tongping Zhangshi next to him, praised: "The Great Zhou built by His Majesty, how much more than the number of Jiuzhou? Now the east and west are tens of thousands of miles, and the dynasty is coming from all directions, which is better than the previous generation of Da Zhou, which is all the credit of His Majesty! ”

"Hmm!" Wu Zetian smiled and nodded.

After taking a turn in the hall, Wu Zetian ordered several prime ministers and the prince to go to the side hall for a discussion.

After everyone sat down, Wu Zetian said: "I can have today, and you also have a share of the credit. A few days ago, Sun Yuanheng and Li Yuanyuan participated in the rebellion and have been executed.

This prime minister is a few years behind. I thought about it for a long time, so I decided that Lou Shide, the ambassador of the defense outside the river, and Zong Chuke, the summer official of the inspection school, were the two of them as Tongping Zhangshi, and Wang Xianggong quickly made the system. ”

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is not easy for King Donglai to cast Jiuding, especially when he invented this Jiuding, which means that the golden light of my Great Zhou shines on Jiuzhou, and the grace of the saint shines on Jiuzhou. Therefore, Weichen pleaded and rewarded the king of Donglai. Yang Zaisi suddenly stepped forward, bowed his hand, and reported to Wu Zetian.

"Yang Xianggong's words are reasonable, and I have taken them into account. The casting of Yanzhi Jiuding is powerful, with a thousand rewards and a thousand fine silk. Wu Yanzhi was appointed as a winter official to know the affairs of the winter official, and the rest of his post remained the same. Wu Zetian said.

"Wechen thank Your Majesty for your grace." Wu Yanzhi hurriedly thanked him, and finally got the acting six Shangshu! Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
