On the eighteenth day of the second year of Jiaxi, the crown prince canonization ceremony related to the Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty was finally unveiled in the limelight.

Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and then all dynasties on the land of China have worshiped the gods of heaven and earth on the day of the winter solstice, the ancestral temple in order to seek good weather, and after the Wei and Jin dynasties, the winter solstice day sacrifice is more and more important, and now in the Great Song Dynasty, the winter solstice day worship ancestors are also the most solemn activities at the official level.

The Winter Solstice Day Sacrifice Ceremony in the second year of Jiaxi was held together when the crown prince was canonized because of the birth of the crown prince Zhao Wei, as well as the assassination of Jia Guifei and the great hunger in Lin'an. First, it can save manpower and material resources, and secondly, there is more time to prepare, and the canonization ceremony of the prince is held at the same time as worshipping the ancestors, which is also more in line with the will of the people.

Therefore, the first item of today's crown prince canonization ceremony is to go to the southern suburbs of Lin'an City to worship heaven and earth, followed by the Yellow Emperor of Jingling Palace, and finally to worship the ancestors in the temple and hold the crown prince canonization ceremony.

When it comes to worshipping the Yellow Emperor in Jingling Palace, I have to tell some stories. During the Zhenzong period of the Song Dynasty, in order to make the Zhao and Song courts more face-saving, some ministers proposed that the Xuanyuan clan, which is the Yellow Emperor we are familiar with, was surnamed Zhao and was the original ancestor of the Zhao family. Therefore, in the fifth year of Song Zhenzong's Dazhong Xiangfu, today's Qufu County was changed to Xianyuan County. Jingling Palace was built in Xianyuan County to worship the Yellow Emperor. The same thing was actually done in the Tang Dynasty, but the Li Tang Dynasty was based on Laozi Li Er as the ancestor and worshiped the Shangqing Palace.

After losing half of the country and moving the capital to Lin'an, the Southern Song Dynasty chose a place in the southern suburbs of Lin'an City and renamed it Xianyuan County for convenience, and then rebuilt Jingling Palace. In this way, the sacrifice to the sky and the worship of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor of Jingling Palace can be carried out at the same time, without having to move the crowd and run too far.

At the end of the day, the officials of all sizes in Lin'an City were waiting outside the Zhengde Gate of the Imperial City in full costumes. At two moments, with the sound of the reckless horn resounding throughout Lin'an City, the Zhengde Gate suddenly opened, and a column of stubborn inner temple direct forbidden troops drove out, and then Zhao Yun, who was wearing a dragon robe and wearing a purple and gold crown, and Xie Daoqing, the queen of a phoenix crown, drove out of the Zhengde Gate of the cave.

It's just that when the ministers saw the beautiful woman on the right behind Zhao Yun on the right side of the car, who was also wearing a phoenix crown and holding a baby in her arms, they were all stunned.

In fact, before this, the ministers of the court and the central government had been speculating whether Jia Guifei would appear in the crown prince's canonization ceremony this time. According to the system, even the queen will rarely participate in the ceremony, unless in that year, the country suffers an unprecedented disaster, and the emperor and the queen will participate in the ceremony at the same time.

However, everyone knows that this ceremony is not just as simple as the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, and the crown prince's canonization ceremony is the highlight. Since it is the crown prince's canonization ceremony, Xie Daoqing, as the lord of the harem, naturally needs to participate, although it is said that Jia Guifei is Zhao Wei's biological mother, but the palace is naturally the rules of the palace, even if Jia Guifei is the prince's biological mother, she must be raised by the queen. Moreover, according to the system, Jia Guifei is also not eligible to participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky. If even Concubine Jia can participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky. So where is the zombie queen?

But everyone also knows that Jia Guifei in the palace today is different from others, not only because she is the only one who gave birth to two heirs to the current emperor, but also because she is also the most favored concubine of the current emperor, and more importantly, Jia Guifei's younger brother, Jia Yidao, is the most favored courtier in the Great Song Dynasty today. Why are so many people targeting Jia Yidao? In addition to Jia Nidao climbing too fast, in fact, the main reason is because everyone knows that if Jia Nidao's current momentum continues, then obviously, it can be expected that the next Shi Miyuan will appear.

It's even more serious than Shi Miyuan at the beginning. There is no other reason, the prince is not only the prince, but also Jia Yidao's nephew. And compared to Shi Miyuan, Jia Yidao is too young. is so young that those who target him in the court are a little afraid. Now that you have been offended, you can only go to the dark with all your might. After all, everyone knows that once Jia Yidao really grows up, maybe there will be no more days for them for decades. Let Zhao Shimi and the others shudder a little when they think about it.

Now that Jia Guifei not only appeared, but also appeared in the emperor's car with the crown prince in person, and it seemed that Empress Xie Daoqing did not seem to have any cover. The deep meaning in this made all the people of the dynasty begin to think secretly in their hearts.

Regarding his cheap sister who would appear in the car, Jia Rudao had long known about it. So he didn't show too much surprise, but what he didn't expect was that Zhao Wei, who was supposed to be in Xie Daoqing's arms, was actually held by Jia Guifei, and said in his heart, it seems that the Xie family is going to be a good person to the end.

Looking at the cheap sister's flowery smile in the car, Jia Rudao sighed secretly: Silly sister, some favors are not so good.

The royal forest army in front opened the road, and both sides of the royal road in Lin'an City were also covered with vigilant royal forest troops, Zhao Yun's car was in the center, and the ministers of the court could only follow closely behind and walk on foot.

On both sides of the royal road, densely covered with countless people who have gathered in Lin'an City these days, they are quietly waiting on both sides of the royal road, waiting to see the golden crown passing by, they have knelt on the ground and shouted long live. The undulating sound of long live was endless, and the sound spread for dozens of miles, and as Zhao Yun's car drove forward, more and more people flowed into the queue, and finally formed a huge crowd of people, surging forward.

Outside the south gate of Lin'an City, nearly a thousand cavalrymen wearing black-bladed iron armor stood quietly, and each knight hung a cold and shining sharp knife on the left and right sides, one long and one short; The difference was that some knights carried a short crossbow on their backs, while others had a hard bow. Except for the four knights who stood out from the crowd who had never covered their faces with black armor, the rest of the knights in black armor were all covered in black armor, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

And who are the four knights who have never been covered Zhang Shu, Yang Yin, Xu Kai, and Dong Xuan who followed Jia Yidao back to Lin'an City from Yuejia Village?

Nearly a thousand black-armored and black-faced knights stood quietly riding their horses, no matter the people and horses did not make any sound, except for the occasional flash of light in the eyes exposed under the masks, it was like a black sculpture, only the invisible murderous aura was permeated.

The Beiwei Army, which has disappeared in the Great Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, will escort Zhao Yun to participate in the entire crown prince canonization ceremony as the emperor's personal guard today, and then officially appear in front of the world!

Of course, the reason why the Beiwei Army, Zhang Xing and others from Yuejia Village were able to appear here, and even the equipment on these nearly 1,000 Beiwei Army, was all handled by Jia Yidao, and it cost the silver in the Yamen Bank of the General Department of the City Shipping. The vast majority of the big businessmen in Lin'an City, whether for face or other reasons, have deposited silver taels in the Yamen of the General Department of the City, ranging from tens of thousands of taels to hundreds of thousands of taels at most, and among them, they are the most popular in Lin'an, which provided Jia Rudao with grain, money, literature, single, Qiu, etc.

However, Zheng Mingxuan, who was the first to connect Jia Rudao, was the largest account of the Yamen of the General Department of the City Ship, and Zheng Mingxuan deposited millions of taels of silver in the Yamen Bank of the General Department of the City at one time.

It was this silver that gave Jia Rudao the confidence to rearm the Beiwei army.

The Imperial Forest Army had already given orders, so after leaving the South City Gate, they consciously spread out to both sides of the official road and gave up the home field to Zhang Xing and others.

Sure enough, when Zhao Yun's car appeared outside the south gate of Lin'an City, everyone, including Zhao Yun, was shocked by the cavalry standing outside the south gate. When did the Great Song Dynasty have such a good-looking cavalry? And when these nearly 1,000 back-to-back soldiers slammed their right chests with their left hands to salute when they saw Zhao Yun, in the uniform sound, before feeling the slaughter in their faces, it made everyone's hearts feel cold.

I've never eaten pork, but I've always seen pigs run.

Whether an army is elite or straw bales, the ministers in the court still have points in their hearts. If the other courtiers were just surprised by this army, then to Shi Songzhi, it was shock. Others don't know each other, but Shi Songzhi, who is also familiar with military affairs and has personally led the troops, knows which army the equipment of this cavalry belongs to.

Back to the Army!

Once, he also wanted to let the Beiwei Army reappear, but for various reasons, in the end it was unsuccessful, and at this moment, outside Lin'an City, he suddenly found that the Beiwei Army that he had dreamed of not only existed, but also had become an army, which surprised Shi Songzhi much more than Zhao Yun could have an heir.

Zhao Yun had already heard Jia Yidao say that he had found the Beiwei Army, and asked Zhao Yun for a number, for an army that had disappeared for nearly a hundred years, no matter how famous he had been, but it had been nearly a hundred years, and Yue Fei's method of organizing and training the Beiwei Army had already dissipated with the disintegration of the Yue family's army, so Zhao Yun didn't take it to heart.

It was only when he really saw Bei Weijun today that Zhao Yun knew that he seemed to have underestimated his brother-in-law's ability. However, compared to Shi Songzhi's horror, Zhao Yun saw the back of the army, and some were just surprised. It is very good for the Great Song Dynasty to have such an elite.

Beiwei Army naturally took over the errand of the personal guards of the Inner Temple, and divided into two columns of horses to follow the guards on the left and right sides of Zhao Yun, except for the neat footsteps of the war horses, there was no sound from beginning to end, as indifferent as a machine, no matter where it was revealed, this was a Great Song cavalry that was not inferior to the Mongolian iron cavalry.

If the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and the people were surprised to see the Beiwei army, then for the Mongolian deputy envoy Bald Lei, the sudden appearance of the Great Song cavalry was bad news. Cat flutter Chinese
