Chapter 1444: Sacrifice to the Heavens
The wind and the sun are beautiful, the sky is clear, close to noon, the auspicious clouds, the colorful glow is fluttering, and the cranes are dancing together, as if the sky is auspicious!
Hundreds of people poured into the streets, looking forward to seeing the legendary crown prince and marry three famous goddesses of heaven at the same time.
For ordinary people, this is a great joy that belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, a gentle and elegant, well-educated poetry and books, gentle as jade, is the blessing of the people, the blessing of the community, and the blessing of China.
The Holy Emperor descended from heaven, this is the cognition of Zhao Shuhang by the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also deliberately promoted by many people in recent years.
Of course, Zhao Shuhang did not disappoint anyone, one by one, and the deeds he made, whether it was patrolling the heavens or suppressing the demon caves, were as eye-catching as the sun.
Everywhere you go, all evils are easy to dispel, the demons are scared away, and the shadows have nowhere to hide!
Whether it is the prince's entry into the East Palace, or marrying the three proud daughters of the sky, there are countless red tapes, not to mention the integration of the two.
The human race is known as the state of etiquette, and the marriage of ordinary people is extremely cumbersome, not to mention the royal wedding, so from the morning, the Ministry of Rites and the Heavenly Pavilion will prepare in the Temple of Heaven.
Both the sacrifices and the sacrificial vessels were arranged to the highest standard, and all those involved fasted three days before and bathed and changed their clothes before dawn on the 16th.
Morning bells and dusk drums, ceremonial music played in unison, all in a peaceful area, waiting for the beginning of the grand ceremony.
Boom!
Hong Zhong Da Lu, melodious and far-reaching, spread from the depths of the Temple of Heaven in the Imperial City, melodious, majestic, atmospheric sound, washing everyone's hearts, making people involuntarily calm down, quietly waiting.
In heaven and earth, except for the melodious sound of bells, everything is silent.
Everyone was in a high mood, and it was clear that when the bell ended, it would be the beginning of the festival.
In the palace of the heart of the palace, Zhao Yukun sat on the dragon chair, his face was complicated, every time the bell rang, the back of his hand trembled involuntarily, and the complex color in his eyes became stronger.
All eyes and expectations, such a glory, even as an emperor, has never enjoyed.
Even if that person is his own son and his heir to the throne, he can't help but feel more and more strange in his heart when he looks at it.
The emperor is the most complex animal in the world.
Since ancient times, the Heavenly Family has been ruthless, and for the sake of imperial hegemony, they can raise a butcher's knife to their brothers and sisters without humanity, and look forward to being brothers, friends and brothers like ordinary people.
But often, it is not satisfactory!
Zhao Yukun knows very well that he will soon 'abdicate and make way for Xian', even if this 'Xian' is his most satisfactory son.
He knew better that this was just a deal made by the Zhao Song royal family and the temples, and if it weren't for that, it wouldn't be able to get the full support of the Jixia Academy.
The reason why this is the case is that the Zhao and Song royal families can continue for generations, and future generations can enjoy the blessings of the heavens and nobles forever, even if he wants to 'Zen throne' during the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period!
Following the example of the sages and the Holy Emperor, Zen is located in the sage, in order to seek the peace of the country and the people, the world is peaceful!
All this is just to create the generations that the royal family has dreamed of, so Zhao Shuhang came into being!
With the luck of the whole country, raise one person to become a sage!
Therefore, among Zhao Yukun's heirs, except for Zhao Shuhang, they are destined to be ordinary and unremarkable!
But it's all worth it.
The one who is most satisfied is the son, in the general trend and the attention of everyone, reaching the peak, will create a foundation for the Zhao and Song royal families, and no one can threaten the dominance of the Zhao and Song royal families.
Even if there are some flaws during this period, it is insignificant.
But even if there is a Hongda goal and is about to succeed, Zhao Yukun can't help but feel jealous, how good it would be if that radiant person was himself!
Whoa!
Just when Zhao Yukun was full of complexity, ready to restrain his thoughts, wait for the bell to end, and accept this accomplish fact, a somewhat hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall.
Zhao Yukun frowned slightly, and a touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
If it weren't for today's day of great joy, with his temperament, he would have to kill a few dog minions with a cane to get rid of the depression in his heart.
Father-in-law Mu Chun, who was already old, knew what kind of complicated feelings His Majesty the Emperor had, and immediately walked out of the hall intimately.
"Panic, what kind of system, don't you know what a big day it is?"
Father-in-law Mu lowered his voice and scolded, but he had doubts in his heart.
His Royal Highness, these people are old people in the palace, and there is also an official in the Zongren Mansion, who is familiar with each other, and they are by no means frivolous, how can they not know the importance of such an important day?
"Grandpa Mu!"
Several people stepped forward together and said in unison, but they were stunned, and they didn't seem to expect the other party to rush to speak.
"What's the matter with Lord Zhao?"
Mu Chun frowned and whispered to one of them.
"There are a few clan disciples in Jinzhou who should have arrived a few days ago, but now there is no trace, and they sent someone to summon them before, and they also said that they would leave early!"
Lord Zhao said concisely.
"Huh?"
Mu Chun was shocked, and said in a deep voice, "Today is a day of great joy, and there must be no room for the slightest difference, which one of those clan disciples is, but they have the duty of worshipping the heavens." ”
"Don't worry, Gonggong Mu, no, if it weren'...... otherwise"
Lord Zhao said with a solemn face.
"That's good, it's a trifle!"
Mu Chun waved his hand, stopped the other party's conversation, and turned to the other person, "Commander Huang, what's the matter with you?"
"Father-in-law Mu, His Royal Highness King Yong has been out since yesterday, and he hasn't returned all night, and even the accompanying guards are nowhere to be seen.
Commander Huang said with a bitter face.
"What? How could such a thing happen? His Royal Highness King Yong, as a brother, would never be so ignorant!"
Mu Chun's old face was wrinkled into orange peel, it was difficult to see the extreme, and after a little hesitation, he turned around and entered, "A few of you will stay here for a while!"
"What?"
Zhao Yukun asked coldly.
Mu Chun didn't dare to hide it, and told the things he asked one by one.
"Bastard, it's just a matter of resentment, if you dare to neglect such a big thing, I should have cut off his title and let this evil obstacle that doesn't know the severity of it fend for itself!"
Zhao Yukun shook his hand fiercely and smashed the tea bowl with a snap.
Those who are familiar with him know that it is not just these few small things, but his own heart and spirit cannot get over this hurdle.
"Your Majesty is angry!"
Mu Chun persuaded.
"Didn't the fourth and fifth come back from the Southern Wei Dynasty? Let the fifth go to the top of the seventh, there must not be any difference, as for the few sect children who have not arrived, find out which one it is, and then use the sect's mansion to cut the title and take the throne, and demote them to commoners!"
Zhao Yukun said coldly.
"Yes!"
Mu Chun bowed down and withdrew from the main hall, and was about to talk to the few people who burned his eyebrows, but found that there were a few more people outside the hall, and most of them were officials of the Zongren Mansion, so he couldn't help but wonder, "A few adults, what's the matter?"
"Father-in-law Mu, I have an urgent matter to play Your Majesty, please pass it on!"
I don't know what these people said outside, but one person came out of the public.
"This ...... As you know, today is a day of great joy, Your Majesty......"
Mu Chun hesitated.
"Something is wrong, there is an accident on the road of the children of the Jinzhou clan, there is more than one pulse, report it quickly, and there is no delay!"
The man snapped.
Mu Chun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately turned around and returned to his bows, and soon a roll call announced that everyone entered the hall.
This time, the few people who arrived in advance did not leave, and followed inside, and only discovered the strangeness when they heard what the rest of the people said.
It is true that there are many children of the royal family, but Zhao Shuhang's canonization of the crown prince and the big wedding, this is a first-class event, no matter whether the veins are remote or not, they will be expressed.
Even if they can't come, they will elect representatives to follow the children of each lineage who are closest to the bloodline and have the most respected status to come to watch the ceremony, which is the most basic etiquette and must not be missing the kinship tradition.
According to common sense, there are 18,000 clan children here, and one hundred and eighty fewer people is definitely nothing, but today is not only a big day for Zhao Shuhang, but also a big day for the Zhao Song royal family and even the Zhao clan.
That's it, but there are still many old people in it, especially Uncle Zhao Yukun, that is, the old prince of the emperor's brother, who is not even gone with the people who traveled all the way.
Young children are playful and ignorant, but in such an existence, they would never make such a mistake.
Not to mention, this is still a semi-saint powerhouse, which can be said to be one of the strongest existences in the Zhao Song royal family, and also the most talented existence in the previous generation!
"What about the Soul Mirror, didn't the Zongren Mansion use the Spirit Mirror to determine their location?"
Zhao Yukun asked in a deep voice.
No matter how complicated his mind is, he is the king of a country after all, and he soon determines that something is wrong.
"Your Majesty, it's strange, the spirit mirror shows that the missing people are all within the boundaries of the capital, but they can't lock the exact location!"
The deputy of the Zongren Mansion said.
"Who the hell is doing the hell?"
Zhao Yukun's heart was uneasy, a figure crossed his mind, his eyes were gloomy, but then he shook his head, "It's impossible, it can't be him, the old sacrificial wine is in the capital, and Xiaohu will never be allowed to come, it's a good thing that it's really coming, and it can be a bad thing!"
"Pray to Heaven and Listen to ......"
Just when everyone was waiting for Zhao Yukun to make an idea, the melodious bell between heaven and earth suddenly sounded, as if it was straight through the clouds and straight into the hearts of the people, no less than the voice of Hong Zhong Dalu.
"Here we go!"
Everyone's hearts were shocked, and their faces were involuntarily solemn, as if the negative emotions such as anxiety before were gone, and in this recitation, they disappeared invisibly!
"The old sacrificial wine lord has begun to worship the heavens, everything is mainly canonization and weddings, and the rest will be put aside by me first, but I can't leave it alone, secretly visit, and there must be no ......."
Zhao Yukun took a deep breath, and instantly regained his composure and calmness, the emperor who was in power, but before he finished speaking, his majestic face suddenly stiffened, and turned into distorted and angry.
"Pray to Heaven and Listen to ......"
Loud and bright like thunder, piercing clouds and cracking stones, it is completely different from the voice of the old man, full of vitality, but the same compassion and compassion, and the content is diametrically opposed to the previous text of worshipping the sky.
Every word, like crying and complaining, makes people's scalp numb, like falling into an ice cellar, all of them are accusing the tyranny and evil deeds of the Zhao and Song royal families!
Whining!
The sad wind is howling, the clouds are rolling, the wind and the sun are gone, and it is a dark cloud covering the top, covering the sky and the sun, as if the end is coming!
