Xuanyuan Shao was as indifferent as ever, he didn't have the solemn expressions of the guards beside him, some were just calm, whether it was in a crowd of people or alone, he always had that quiet look, if it wasn't for the cold armor he was wearing, it would even make people ignore that he was an imperial warrior.

Behind the golden carriage, there is a small phalanx composed of dozens of Taoist priests clustered around a carriage, although this carriage is also very luxurious, but compared with the golden carriage, it is not the same.

These are all high buns, gray gossip robes, almost everyone has a dust, in the ironclad queue, very conspicuous, this group of people is deeply loved by His Majesty the Emperor, and they are regarded as brothers, but for the common people and even the military officials, it is a group of extremely disgusted groups.

The officials also knew very well in their hearts that the carriage surrounded by Taoist priests was the Taoist Xuanzhen Taoist of the Immortal Dao, although the emperor had many confidants and important ministers in the court, but the officials from top to bottom unanimously believed that the most trusted person in the Holy Sect today was the Xuanzhen Daoist.

Chu Huan is in the hundred officials.

Hundreds of officials, except for a few people with a very high status riding horses, most of the officials are on foot, although Chu Huan is a household servant, but he still has to follow everyone on foot.

Of course, he saw King Yingren of Qi in front, and beside King Yingren of Qi, he even saw a man in gorgeous clothes, and he didn't need anyone to introduce him, Chu Huan knew that it was King Yingping of Han.

Chu Huan had to admit that among the three princes of the emperor, when it came to demeanor and appearance, King Yingping of Han was definitely the first, Prince Yingxiang couldn't walk on his legs, and sat in a wheelchair all the year round, although he also had a luxurious temperament, but his face looked older than his actual age, and he looked weak and haggard, and King Yingren of Qi showed childishness from time to time, if he wasn't in the palace, he would just look like a rich son, not like a prince of Daqin.

Han Wang is different.

Anyone who sees King Han for the first time will know what is called real temperament, his every move, even a smile, has a deep charm, and the rich atmosphere exuded by his gestures seems to emanate from his bones, he is a natural nobleman, there is no doubt about it.

Chu Huan also finally understood why the King of Han had so many henchmen in the court and the opposition, although he was the prince of one thing, I am afraid that this person's personal charm also accounted for a great reason.

The team arrived at the Tongtian Hall at noon, Chu Huan saw the Tongtian Hall for the first time, occupying a circle of dozens of miles, looking up, the vermilion wall was as red as snow, and when he looked up, he could see the palace that rose higher than the vermilion wall.

Hundreds of officials, in fact, most of them are the first time to see this huge temple, the periphery of this Tongtian Palace, there is a moat several meters wide, the Tongtian Hall opens four gates, each gate is driven by a white marble arch bridge several zhang wide, in the periphery of the moat, is planted a circle of lush green pine trees, the green pines are upright, like a javelin straight to the sky, it seems to be guarding the soldiers outside the Tongtian Palace.

Xue Huai'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, led a group of people to wait outside the main gate early.

In order to prepare for the ceremony, the emperor deliberately transferred An Guogong and Xue Huai'an to deal with this matter.

Xue Huai'an is now in the limelight, is the dynasty recently very conspicuous ministers, the Great Qin envoys to the West Liang, although not a full return, but also a lot of harvest, His Majesty the Emperor gave Xue Huai'an as the earl, called Ding Xibo, which means that the war in the west has calmed down, Xue Huai'an has made great contributions, since the establishment of the empire, there are not many dukes, and he was awarded the title of earl with the position of the Ministry of Rites, Xue Huai'an is the first person since the founding of the Great Qin.

In order to make this ceremony go smoothly, Xue Huai'an did not dare to have the slightest negligence, after getting the will, he stayed in the Tongtian Hall day and night.

The temple is a dojo used by His Majesty the Emperor to cultivate the Tao in the future, and it is peaceful, not only are swords and soldiers not allowed to enter, but even anyone who enters the temple must wash their hands with a jade basin.

Outside the main gate, there are already twenty Taoist aunts wearing Taoist robes waiting left and right, each Taoist aunt is holding a jade basin in his hand, and there is clear water in it, every official needs to wash his hands before stepping on the white marble arch bridge outside the main gate, the emperor's big golden car is the first to stop, there is a Taoist aunt boarding the golden car, kneeling in front of the throne in front of the golden car, His Majesty the emperor dressed in a Taoist robe came out of the golden car with the queen in a colorful robe, after washing his hands, the golden car only boarded the white marble arch bridge under the escort of more than 20 guards such as Xuanyuan Shao.

It's just that before boarding the white marble arch bridge, all the guards' weapons were unloaded, and the only one who entered with weapons was the arrow god Xuanyuan Shao, who did not leave his bow, and this time he was also granted the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, and was the only person who could enter the Tongtian Hall with weapons.

The soldiers and generals who came with them all the way were not allowed to enter the Tongtian Palace, and they were not allowed to enter the Tongtian Hall with swords, which was specially instructed by the Xuanzhen Dao Sect, His Majesty the Emperor had great trust in the Xuanzhen Dao Sect, except for Xuanyuan Shao, everyone had to abide by this rule.

Chu Huan followed the hundred officials into the Tongtian Palace, only to know why this palace cost a lot of silver, magnificent, a wide white marble road spread forward, on both sides of the white marble road, are two artificially built rivers, the water quality is clear to the bottom, the white jade road spreads to the front, is a grand square, the center of the square, is a pure white high platform, the high platform is extremely gorgeous, and in all directions, the palace pavilions are densely scattered, rockery waterfalls are scattered and separated, it seems to look at every place, They are all paintings carved by skilled craftsmen, and there is no place that is not exquisite, and there is no place that is not coordinated.

The square is a circular place, wide atmosphere, the round white platform, is the circle of the circle, the square surrounds a circle, there is a tall white marble jade pillar every other distance, the top of the jade pillar is the auspicious bird and beast carved by skilled craftsmen.

The ministers were all amazed, followed behind the golden chariot, and looked around, compared to the already magnificent palace Chengtian Palace, the Tongtian Hall was obviously much stronger.

Many people can only admire that such a palace can only be built by the power of a strong country, and even those wealthy and powerful businessmen will never have such a skill.

The emperor's golden car did not stop in the square, but turned to a temple in the Tongtian Hall for a temporary rest, although the various procedures of the ceremony are presided over by the Ministry of Rites, but this is not an ordinary royal sacrifice to the sky, but the emperor's sacrifice to his own dojo, so the time to worship the heavens is decided by the Xuanzhen Taoist Sect of Si Tiantai.

According to Xuanzhen Taoism, Taoism Qiankun, pay attention to the coordination of yin and yang, now it is noon, it is the time when the yang energy is too strong, but it is not suitable to sacrifice to the sky, the time to worship the sky should be selected in the intersection of yin and yang, the best time is the unitary time.

When the ministers arrived at the square, there were two hours from the unitary time, and the emperor was going to take a break in these two hours, fortunately, the ministers were not very hard, the square had already arranged the seats, provided delicacies, hundreds of officials each had seats, and the people who served the food were Taoist priests, but the food was food, but most of them were snacks and fruits, and there was no meat food.

All the pastries are very delicate, Chu Huan sat in the banquet, but he was not polite, and he feasted happily, while the officials were talking and laughing in this open-air square.

It's like a fairyland, and being in it makes many people have an illusion that they have become immortals in the sky.

While Chu Huan was eating, he looked at the high platform in the square, this high platform seemed to be made of white marble, and around the round jade platform, there were eight stone steps that could be climbed to the high platform.

Chu Huan's eyes were on the edge of the jade platform, and the eyes of the ministers fell on several princes, especially the crown prince Yingxiang, he did not sit on the ground like other officials, but sat in a wheelchair, and the one who pushed the wheelchair for him was Tian Hou, the guard commander of the prince's mansion, Tian Hou's "ghost knife" naturally could not be brought in, but he stood quietly on the side of the prince's wheelchair, which was extremely conspicuous among the ministers.

The prince has been paralyzed for many years, and the figure in the court has become very faint, far less than the king of Han's day, at this time the king of Han is beside the prince, and he seems to be very respectful to the prince, and even personally picked up a piece of pastry for the prince, the two brothers whispered, with a faint smile on their faces, if you only look at such a scene, you only think that it is a deep brotherhood, no one will feel that you have fought to the death between these two people for many years.

It's just that the two brothers are now close together, their demeanor and appearance are immediately obvious, with the support of the prince, the king of Han is even more outstanding, comparing the prince far away, and King Yingren of Qi is bored and lazy, he has already seen Chu Huan in the eyes of the ministers, but on this occasion, it is naturally not easy to come to Chu Huan's side.

The King of Han and the crown prince seem to love each other, not far away An Guogong and Shen Keqiu, the right envoy of the Imperial Palace, do not look so harmonious, the two sit together, but they don't say a word, they don't even look at each other, An Guogong is a member of the Han Dynasty's party, and Shen Keqiu is a member of the princeling's party, each is its master, not conspiring with each other, the blind date between the king of Han and the prince is completely peeled off here between An Guogong and Shen Keqiu.

An Guogong seems to be very tired, he is old, lack of energy, the food on the table is naturally not attractive to him, waiting for two hours, for other officials, it may be over, but for this old and old Guogong, it is a long time, he just closed his eyes and recuperated.
