In this south, after the eagle flies in September, the grass is fertilized on the 1st in October.

The Temple of Heaven, known as the "South Heavenly Gate" in later generations, ushered in the first ceremony of worshipping the heavens on the tenth day of October. This ceremony carries too much content, not only the people of Guangzhou came out of the city, but countless people rushed to the whole of Guangdong, and even the southern part of Yunnan-Guizhou Lake.

Chen Ju, who has been known as the "first canon history in the world", once again fell into a state of fragmented scum, and he was responsible for the perimeter security of the entire canon. Tens of thousands of patrol officers transferred from Shaozhou, Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, and Huizhou were all under his command, and although dozens of county canons were assigned by him, in his eyes, these hillbilly canons were all elm heads, and they were completely confused before this big battle.

Rich people come on horseback or in carriages, only a little money, take a big ox cart and donkey cart, close to Panyu County, and come from other places early, and live in Panyu and even Huangpu near the people walk directly, 100,000 or even more people are surging, so that those small county canons are sweaty, and their eyes are out of focus.

… What a panic! Do our part! Just stare at swords, firearms, bows and crossbows! Newspapers and notices have long said that they are not allowed to bring them, and if they find out, they will all be confiscated and detained, it's as simple as that! There are other people to worry about inside. ”

Chen Ju reprimanded those classics in his mouth, but his two eyes focused on each other, scanning the surrounding situation.

The patrol police are only responsible for the periphery, and the inner layer is the blue-clothed internal guard, and Zhou Ning, the chief of the internal guard of the Military Command Hall, is difficult to be at peace today.

He commanded the internal guards of eight battalions in Guangdong and Guangxi, and was responsible for the second layer of security. Speaking of which, there are nearly 5,000 people under his command, but if they are scattered in several isolation lines, it is only a thin layer. Seeing that the blue line listed by his subordinates was gradually engulfed by the crowd, he spat vigorously, and even began to regret that he should have joined the army instead of the internal guard. Maintaining order in the crowd of tens of thousands of people is obviously a lot more headache than going into battle to kill the enemy.

Zhou Ning is only the second layer, the entire cordon is divided into four layers, the third layer is the Huangpu Martial Arts Academy students with the reserve army selected a wing of people, commanded by the deputy commander of the Eagle Yang Army, Fang Tangheng, covering the inner circle of the Temple of Heaven, and the fourth layer is the guards and black-clothed guards. Looking down from the sky, the four colors of gray, blue, red, and black separate the crowds.

As the hour approached, a stream of vermilion people came from the Dazhong Gate of the Boundless Palace in the north, stepping a section above the ground, and marching from the northbound avenue covered by the red carpet to the mound in the inner circle of the Temple of Heaven. This avenue is one person high, and when he walks on it, his figure falls on the eyes of hundreds of thousands of spectators very clearly. This is the Anglo-Chinese official who presided over the ceremony, and the crowd that has been waiting for a long time has stopped, and the ceremony is about to begin.

"The king of heaven is really impatient to sacrifice to the heavens......"

"In October, the more you are full, you can Zen, and then the next year you can set up the name of the king. If it is late to next year, the king of heaven will be the emperor, and if he wants to comply with the etiquette system, it will have to be two years later, and he will naturally seize the day. ”

"Emperor Ming can reign for a year, and we have a lot to do!"

In the flow of officials, a group of elderly people are still talking to each other. 【】When I walked to the verandah, I saw an old man in cloth, and he actually made a big salute together, and that person was Kong Shangren, who attended the ceremony as a chair of etiquette.

Seeing that these people were taking care of themselves, the other officials all looked sideways. A young official snorted coldly, and the middle-aged man beside him with a Xiao-like face sighed in a low voice: "I think back then, my father, Liang Yuzhou, and Chen Duwei were called the three masters of Lingnan, but now my Qu family takes the road of three sages, but the second family of Liang and Chen takes the road of Confucianism." ”

The young man said angrily: "Especially that Liang Zaichen, who is in charge of the Rites, has organized the Holy Confucian Academy by himself. Directly to the letter to ask the king of heaven to withdraw the constitution and return to heaven, abide by the royal courtesy, and issue edicts with Ming as the sign. This time, he was determined to let Ming continue to stand, why did the king of heaven let him participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky? ”

This father and son are Qu Minghong and Qu Chengshuo, the descendants of Qu Dajun, as the Three Sages Party, they are very uninterested in Liang Peilan's nephew, Liang Zaichen, the director of the Shangshu Hall.

The etiquette department manages the etiquette regulations, and the people gathered are all scholars who are proficient in the Zhou etiquette system, and these people are of course old-fashioned thinking. Although he is a Yinghua, he is very resistant to Li Xian, who is not "polite" everywhere. Now that this ceremony of worshipping the heavens is held at the Temple of Heaven, it is also related to Liming, and the Holy Confucian faction headed by Liang Zaichen holds his head high. Because whether it is worshipping the heavens or establishing the emperor, only they understand etiquette.

Without them, it will be the same as those pseudo-dynasty thieves, who are messy with dragon robes used for singing, and it will be difficult to gain the recognition of the people of the world.

Although the Three Sages Party has the ambition of a hypocritical monarch, but compared to Li Tianwang, these rotten Confucians are their great enemies, Qu Minghong shook his head and said: "The Heavenly King should have another plan, pull out the sixteen former Ming clans at once, I don't know what the article is, and look at it." At this time, the officials had already arrived in the verandah, and Liang Zaichen and others formed a group of their own, still talking in a low voice.

"What is the purpose of pulling out sixteen clans? Among them, there is also a king of Xiang who came out of the Duan family, although the disc genealogy and the identity are all available, and the identity is real, but it is really impossible to guess the intentions of bringing these people together. "Yes, it is unprecedented to put together the two things of worshipping the heavens and Emperor Liming, it is unprecedented, it is not polite and ...... etiquette."

Listening to the words of his colleagues, Liang Zaichen shook his head and sighed for their hindsight. "This matter couldn't be simpler, King Li Tianwang must have chosen King Xiang. That Duan Yunchang, no, Zhu Ciyun, his daughter, followed the king early on, and she will be the wife and concubine of the king in the future.

I am afraid that this candidate was prepared a few years ago. Now I see that we are resolute in our deachers, the hearts of the Ming people are still there, and we are too unscrupulous to act badly, so I have also found other clans and joined them to stand together, and we have put an end to disputes. The king's intentions are also deep. ”

Colleagues realized that Liang Zaichen had spoken thoroughly.

The old man smiled smugly, and then whispered:

"But no matter who this Ming Emperor is, after all, he is the Son of Heaven who is pressed on Li Tianwang. Even if Li Tianwang only erected the Son of Heaven flag for a year and a half, what followed the Son of Heaven banner was all kinds of untimely gifts. Then pull the post-Confucian scholars in, and by the time Li Tianwang took the throne, the disciples of Confucius and Sage were afraid that they were already half of the dynasty, and the Heavenly King would still have to suppress Confucianism at that time? ”

Everyone chuckled, and some people rubbed their hands and said: "If Da Ming can gather people's hearts again, there will be a call sign, King Qin will escort him, and the king of heaven wants to Zen ......"

The latter words were interrupted by the sound of everyone's coughing, although everyone had this thought, but this could only be thought in the heart, not just said casually.

Looking at the blushing and excited gang of rotten people, Yu Hanyi, who was dressed in black in the distance, snorted coldly in a low voice, his face mixed with nine points of disdain and one point of pity.

Then the ritual music played, drawing his attention away, and in the midst of the rituals and noise, a group of people wearing dark dragon robes, nine crowns, and holding jade gui appeared and walked along the red carpet to the three-tiered round platform that stood tall in the middle of the Temple of Heaven, that is, the round mound.

The entire Temple of Heaven suddenly burst into flames, "Your Majesty", "Long live"

The shouts were endless, and then there was a chaotic noise, how could sixteen emperors pop out at once!?

People who know a little about etiquette are shaking their heads and sighing at the ignorance of the people, these sixteen people are wearing nine children's gowns, which are the regulations of the Ming prince, not the emperor's twelve chapter gowns. How can the people know so much, but the one who wears the beaded curtain crown is the emperor.

Sixteen people wearing the nine children's uniforms of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty walked forward without squinting, and the identities of these people have been recognized by the Yinghua Heavenly Palace, and they have inherited the titles of the former Ming Xiang King, Jing Wang, Ji Wang, Rong Wang, Yi Wang and other clans. In addition to the side branches left in the north, almost all the important clans that still had descendants in the former Ming Dynasty were wiped out.

The leader is Zhu Ciyun. The nerd middle-aged man tried his best to hide his wry smile and emotion, and led the group of Ming princes forward with a blank face.

"I was really killed by my daughter, I didn't have this kind of bad thing if I got married early, how should I live uBil in the future, will I be beheaded by the king of heaven? I hope that the king of heaven will keep his word, and there is no hope for him to continue to stay in the country, but he can teach the head office freely......

Zhu Ciyun was bubbling with bitter water in his stomach, and behind him, under the silk canopy on the side of the Dazhong Gate, Duan Yuyou, no, Zhu Yuyou was also watching his father's figure gradually blur with tears on his face.

"Sister of the county lord, don't cry, when your father becomes the emperor, and your sister is also called the princess, and then marries the fourth brother, and becomes the princess again, and will be the imperial concubine in the future, what other woman in the world can have such an adventure as her sister?"

Guan Ko comforted on the side, Zhu Yu was bitter, what kind of adventure is this, it is such a chaotic life that makes her feel miserable and miserable.

"Princess...... I'm afraid that there is no hope, Ah Huan seems to have only prepared a set of emperor's crowns, and it is not the style of the previous Ming. ”

Yan Sanniang didn't know much about Li Shi's arrangement, but she knew some inside information, she said while looking at Zhu Yuyou with pity with the pot-bellied An Jiuxiu, this girl's situation is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, if you want to change them, you will also worry about the safety of your father and her own fate. was set up by this dynasty to succeed the prince of the former Ming, then he stood on the cusp of political struggle, and the road ahead was completely confused.

"So II. heir, the lord of the county, or An Ansheng, stay by the side of the Heavenly King, he can cover any wind and rain, believe me." , An Jiuxiu stroked his belly, looking happy and satisfied.

So what else...... Zhu Yuyou glanced around with teary eyes, wanting to hold on to something so that his sense of reality would be stronger, but he caught his eye on another green-robed figure, it was Zheng Xie, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, who was so busy that his feet were facing the sky, and the hard wings of the black gauze hat were swaying up and down.

The gossip entangled with this figure finally made Zhu Yuyou find a foothold, she calmed down, and while wiping her tears, she was also a little curious, didn't she establish Emperor Ming by sacrificing to the sky today? Didn't prepare a uniform for Emperor Ming?

The preparation of this ceremony is obviously equipped with routines, even the officials of the Heavenly King's Mansion, and even the people of Like, have not been able to fully grasp the process, and many officials are surprised by the appearance of these sixteen Ming princes.

Seeing that these sixteen princes walked directly to the mound, in the corridor under the mound, Tang You frowned and twisted his beard and said: "Is it difficult to ......"

Then he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If this is the case, I am afraid that many people will be disappointed today." ”

On the side, Shi Yizhi asked anxiously: "Boss, don't sell Guanzi, what is the plan of the Heavenly King?" ”

These officials, who came from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, had no feeling for what Emperor Ming was opposed, and with their "political consciousness", it was the right way to cling to Li Xi himself. As long as the matter is under Li Shi's control, there is no need for them to speak out.

But after all, there are still some taboos in this matter, they were originally Qing ministers, but they threatened Yingchen, and now Yinghua wants to establish Ming, and they want to belong to Mingchen in name, so they are naturally a little entangled in their hearts. At the same time, the corrupt Confucian faction, borrowing the banner of the former Ming Dynasty, also has different intentions, and is not tolerated by them.

Shi Yizhi was originally in a heavy mood, and when he heard Tang Youzeng's tone, it seemed that there was another mystery, so he was naturally a little anxious.

Tang You once smiled: "Don't say it, if you say it first, it will be boring." ”

Shi Yi was depressed, thinking that if you don't say it, I'll figure it out by myself...... Turning his head to look at the sixteen Ming kings, he saw that they had gone up to the middle of the mound and were spreading out in all directions, at this time the music changed, and the "Chapter of Shiping" played, Shi Yizhi's eyes were round, and he also understood.
