On the way to the Temple of Heaven on foot, Liu Yu did not invite others, but invited Lan He to rest on the carriage, even if Lan He wanted to pretend to be confused, he also understood that Liu Yu was deliberately targeting him today.

"Marquis Wuyi has a heart, and the old minister's body and bones can still bear it, don't ...... No rest is required. ”

"Really?"

Liu Yu suddenly smiled and took out something from his sleeve and showed it to Lan He, because Liu Yu covered it with his sleeve, only Lan He saw clearly what Liu Yu took out. After Liu Yu showed it a little, he put the thing back in his sleeve, Lan He's face was blue at this time, and cold sweat began to break out on his head.

Liu Yu asked again: "Does Lan Xiang feel a little tired now?" ”

Lan He's breath was a little uncomfortable and said, "Yes...... It's ......"

Liu Yu let the carriage go from the front of the hundred officials to the side, because the road was relatively wide, even if the team of the hundred officials and the carriage were parallel, they would not feel congested. Liu Yu "invited" Lan He to get into the carriage first, and then Liu Yu also boarded up. The ministers of civil and military affairs on one side were all looking at the carriage curiously, wondering what was going on inside.

Don't let the ministers think about it, Lan He just went in to make tea, and the others had already come out. When he went in, Lan He's mood was a little abnormal, and when he came out, the whole person seemed to be a little unstable, and he stumbled after his feet fell back to the ground and took a step, Liu Yu supported him from behind him, and said with a smile: "Lan Xiang still take care of his body, why bother reluctantly, it's better to sit in the carriage again." ”

"No need, thank you Wuyihou for your kindness." Lan He's expression seemed very resolute, and he sat in the carriage for a while before getting down. The ministers were also thinking, probably he was really as Liu Yu said. Old age is useless.

Lan He returned to the ranks of the hundred officials. Someone was trying to come up close and ask. At this time, Liu Yu came over to parallel with Lan He, not giving others a chance to talk.

Liu Yu seemed to be talking about the process of this enthronement ceremony all the way, and the two or three miles of the road was completed in just a while. When they arrived at the foot of the round mound, the carriage was still next to the hundred officials, and they wanted to get closer to find out, but the carriage suddenly accelerated a few steps and stopped behind the side of the road. It was not the guards of the Imperial Guards who guarded it, but the guards of the Women's Army.

When the drums sounded, the hundred officials could no longer take care of the mysterious carriage, and Liu Yu did not have to stay in the ranks of the hundred officials at this time, he wanted to welcome the Son of Heaven to drive down.

However, Liu Yu still didn't give others a chance to talk to Lan He, and this time he stepped forward to pick up Luan, and Liu Yu even brought Han Sheng, Lan He, and Huang Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, with him. Luan drove to the ground, Qi'er stepped off Luan Jia with Xu Xuanzhu's support, Liu Yu took Qi'er's arm and whispered to Xu Xuanzhu: "Madame, take care." ”

Xu Xuanzhu was already pregnant enough at this time. As Liu Yu's first child, Liu Yu is still very solemn on weekdays. Xu Xuanzhu could have avoided attending today. Or to ride with Qi'er, but Xu Xuanzhu insisted on walking all the way, in fact, she also wanted to witness Qi'er's enthronement ceremony without leaving regrets for herself.

Hearing Liu Yu's reassuring words, Xu Xuanzhu smiled faintly, tidied up the armor on his body, and walked towards the Yuanqiu Altar with Liu Yu behind him.

Responsible for the defense of the Yuanqiu Altar is Ye Wei, the right commander of the Royal Forest Army, the Ye family is also a family in Chang'an City, and Ye Wei is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, which is considered young and promising, but it is a vase, and he was promoted by Su Yan as a general who has not gone through actual combat.

Ye Wei wanted to step forward to salute the new emperor, but was stopped by Liu Yu. Liu Yu made a gesture to give way, Ye Wei stupidly stepped aside, so that Luan and his party could walk through the red carpet of the Yuanqiu Altar and ascend to the first floor, and the hundred officials began to display under the Yuanqiu Altar.

The civil and military officials are divided by rank, with a line of 16 to 18 people, which is more than 30 lines, Liu Yue roughly estimated that the number of officials attending the ceremony today is five or six hundred. Among the civil and military officials, except for a few princes and nobles, such as Su Yan and the four horses Chai Jin who were in the first row, the rest were also ordinary courtiers, and the other princesses and horses were invited to attend this time, but they could only wait in the palace to congratulate them. As for the third prince and the fifth prince, the princes who were once destroyed by Liu Yu, they did not have the opportunity to participate in such a grand ceremony.

Liu Yu paid special attention to Chai Jin, who was a little alone at this time. This time, Chai Jin took Ling Su to attend the ceremony, which seemed unique, but Ling Su was not Su Bi after all, and she was not qualified to come to Yuanqiu Altar.

In the sound of drums, hundreds of officials stood still, and everything was waiting for the auspicious time to arrive, and the ceremony began.

Standing on the altar on the first floor, in addition to Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu, only the female official Qu Ning and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Huang Cheng remained, in the back position, the president of the Royal Forest Army led Qu Zhu to stand with a sword, and among the female army guards, the captain of the guard Lu Chuer who attended today. Lu Chuer cried grandpa and sued grandma to get the opportunity to be in the limelight today, before that, Liu Yu would never use her, but today's Lu Chuer has a "special use" for Liu Yu.

The Ministry of Rites Honglu Temple in charge of the Qin Tianjian Shaozheng has been looking at the sundial, as the shadow of the pointer reaches the noon scale, the Qin Tianjian Shaozheng immediately uploaded the report of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Huang Cheng, with Huang Cheng's hand, the drum music paused, and the emperor's enthronement of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony officially opened.

The first step is to read the first layer of sacrifices, which are read by Huang Cheng himself, as the proclamation of the sacrifice to the heavens. This is also today's first proclamation, mainly based on Shuntian's order, announcing today's time, place, reason for coming here and the fortune of the time and heaven, because the surrounding of the round mound altar is empty, the wind seems a little strong, and Huang Cheng's voice is not very loud, Liu Yue guessed that the hundred officials below may not be able to hear what he is saying, this is at most just a formality.

After Huang Cheng's proclamation was read, the horn sounded, and it was the turn of the new emperor to worship.

The new emperor in Huang Cheng's "worship the sky" oral preaching, Ying Ying bowed, with the son of heaven kneeling, the civil and military officials below did not stand for the reason, and also bowed down, Qi'er took the three incense sticks handed over by the female official on the side, and inserted them in the incense burner. Then Qi'er bowed, and the hundred officials bowed down, the horn stopped, and several people came up and moved the large furnace on the first floor, making way for Qi'er to climb to the second floor.

The second layer is the Son of Heaven worshipping the earth and worshipping the four solar terms. The main thing is to burn incense and kowtow, and after the second worship, when she ascends to the third layer, this ceremonial ceremony will enter the most critical part.

The Son of Heaven reads the text of the sacrifice to the heavens.

The letter was written by an official of the Ministry of Rites and read by Qi'er herself, in order to show the heavens his determination to govern the country and stabilize the world, just like the inaugural speech. However, the emperor's proclamation to heaven is different from the inaugural speech, because the emperor does not need to explain to the subjects of the world, and the object of her responsibility is "heaven". Therefore, Qi'er took the proclamation written in yellow silk to worship the heavens, and did not turn around and read it to the hundred officials below like Huang Cheng, but read it directly to the heavens.

As Qi'er's prayer was read, it was her turn to take power. The officials should also kneel and bow their heads to witness the arrival of this solemn moment.

However, at this time, a strange situation suddenly occurred, although more than 400 of the more than 500 officials knelt down after Huang Cheng raised the proclamation on the stage, there were actually nearly 100 officials who did not kneel. That is, they do not recognize the legitimacy of the new emperor's throne. (To be continued......)
