Chapter 163: Qi Ye Becomes the Prince
For Zhang Sui's request, Xi Antong not only agreed.
In order to stabilize Zhang Sui's determination, she even called Qi Ye and asked him to make a promise in front of Zhang Sui.
After receiving Zhang Sui's affirmative reply, Xi Antong went back with Qi Ye satisfied.
The next morning in the council hall, behind the curtain, Zhang Sui told Xi Antong's words to the Qinghe clan.
Qinghe said with a smile: "This Xi Antong has heard of this palace, and she is also an amazing woman." Her master is none other than the refiner of the Feiyun Pill that the King gave you yesterday, the head of the Ice Heart Hall, the Lark Fairy! β
Zhang Sui was taken aback, but he didn't expect Xi Antong to have this background.
Qinghe said: "Since Xi Antong has made a guarantee, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the palace and the emperor." In the afternoon, the palace chooses the heir and tomorrow chooses the son, so I will ask the emperor. β
Zhang Sui came to Linzi on the afternoon of the sixteenth day after class, King Qi considered the wishes of the Qinghe clan, referred to Zhang Sui's opinion, and chose the twelfth son Qi Ye as the heir of the Qinghe clan, and the Qinghe clan drank the tea of Jingmu at that time.
That night, Qi Ye stayed at the residence of the Qinghe clan and accompanied the king of Qi and the Qinghe clan to have a family reunion dinner.
On the morning of the seventeenth day when Zhang Sui came to Linzi, the Qi Dynasty decided the ownership of the prince in the council room.
Among the civil and military officials, two main characters were chosen: one was the Twelve Sons Qi Ye, and the other was the Twelve Sons Qi Ling.
However, in the final result, due to the recommendation of Qi Ye by Emperor Zhang Sui, and the fact that Qi Ye sacrificed the bargaining chip of his newly recognized mother Qinghe yesterday, King Qi overrode public opinion and chose Qi Ye as his son.
The ceremony of the prince to pay homage to the heavens and ancestors will be held in three days at the Taimiao Temple.
At that time, hundreds of civil and military officials will accompany them, and when they enter the Taimiao, the priests and emperors of the Taimiao will accompany the king of Qi and the prince to enter.
When I came out of the council chamber, it was almost noon.
Zhang Sui stood at the exit of the conference hall, looking up at the sky, faintly excited in his heart.
This time things went far better than he imagined!
As soon as he thought of having the opportunity to contact the Eight Dragons Carrying Ding, Zhang Sui's body couldn't stop trembling.
Qi Tai and Qi Feng drooped their heads one by one, passing by Zhang Sui like old men.
Prime Minister Yang Feng, Captain Li Yi and Major General Tian Ji came to Zhang Sui's side, and Yang Feng mocked: "What a plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea!" It was rumored that the Emperor was actually a waste, and now it seems that this rumor is not only wrong, but also ridiculously wrong. The emperor is clearly a treacherous and cunning man, and the city government is extremely deep! β
"It's a shame that the prime minister and I are still worried that you were framed by the Qinghe clan, but now that I think about it, it's ridiculous." Tai Lieutenant Li Yi laughed at himself: "If the general is here today, today will definitely be a different situation." Finally, I would like to advise you, the general hates the Qinghe clan the most. The emperor and the Qinghe clan are in cahoots, so be careful, don't let the general run into him alone. β
Yang Feng and Li Yi angrily walked down the stairs.
Tian Ji glanced at Zhang Sui complicatedly and said, "Tian Ji is still too naΓ―ve!" The people of the Qin State are cunning, and the emperor let Tian Ji appreciate it twice and three times, and Tian Ji remembered it. At the beginning of next month, there will be an envoy from the Qin State to visit my Great Qi, and when the time comes, Tian Ji will let the emperor see the anger and sacrosanctity of my Great Qi soldiers! β
Seeing Tian Ji suppress his anger and leave, Zhang Sui rolled his eyes.
At the beginning of next month?
After three days, if he fails, he must die!
If he succeeds, he will not return to Qi again.
took away the Eight Dragons and killed the King of Qi, this hatred determined that he and the Qi Dynasty could only be enemies for life.
In the next three days, Zhang Sui did not go to teach several sons.
The whole Linzi was busy.
All the people were preparing for the ceremony of the prince to sacrifice to the heavens and the ancestors, and as the people who were going to participate in the follow-up to the Taimiao, Zhang Sui had to go to the Taimiao sacrifice place to accept the reprimand of the chief priest.
It is said to be a reprimand, but it is actually some rules.
When should I go to Taimiao that day?
When to start bathing and fasting?
What should I wear on that day?
What to say? What not to do?
Zhang Sui found that since he came to the Qi Kingdom, his mind had undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, especially before the crossing, his heart was always restless.
And now, even in the face of the tireless chatter of the chief priest, he can face it calmly.
During the day, he was reprimanded by the priest in the Taimiao, and at night, Zhang Sui consolidated and reviewed the "Shocking Divine Arrow Forbidden Law" over and over again. Trap after trap is weaved, more than half of which are exploding traps.
At the same time, the time to sleep at night is only controlled within one hour, unless he is really tired, otherwise, Zhang Sui maintains a cross-legged posture, running the "Sun Shooting Divine Skill" mental method, and replenishes the qi of the meridians.
On the morning of the twentieth day when Zhang Sui came to Linzi, the proceedings in the council hall were quickly over.
Today is the day when the son of the world sacrifices to the heavens and the ancestors, even if it is a discussion, you must give way!
Coming out of the council hall, Zhang Sui rushed to the Taimiao, and while arranging various traps in a secret place, he pretended to be casual and rushed to the priest's place.
At the priest's office, Zhang Sui accepted a bath presided over by the chief priest, changed into a white robe and dress, and his hair was erected with a bundle of hair, and a jade hairpin was inserted.
Zhang Sui stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the handsome and elegant young man in front of the bronze mirror, and his heart was mixed.
After dressing up and serving, Zhang Sui rushed to the gate of the Taimiao with the chief priest of the Taimiao.
There, he and the chief priest were going to welcome the king of Qi and the prince into the temple and perform three bows and nine bows.
Inside the temple, the priests were busy, and the flow of people was shuttling.
Outside the Taimiao, a thousand guards wore gold armor and took ten steps to a post, setting off the entire Taimiao with solemnity.
At the end of the day, the bell of King Qi and the prince of Qi was about to bathe in the palace.
At four o'clock, the bell of King Qi and the prince of Qi after bathing came from the palace.
At the turn of noon, the sound of the king of Qi and the prince setting off came from the palace.
Inside the temple, all the busy priests stood on the side of the road, wearing new gray priestly dresses, bowing their heads and bowing their heads.
At the entrance of the Taimiao, a thousand golden armor guards, one by one, stood straight with solemn expressions.
The entire Taimiao gate was silent.
Zhang Sui and the chief priest stood at the gate of the temple on the left and the right, at the top of the 9981 steps.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the king of Qi rushed to the bottom of the steps of the Taimiao with the prince and the civil and military officials.
The king of Qi wore a black base five-clawed gold-inlaid dragon robe and a crown on his head.
The prince wore a four-clawed python robe with a black base and thirteen eastern pearls on his head.
As the presiding priest prayed to heaven and earth, he invited the king of Qi and the prince to climb the stairs, and all the civil and military officials knelt at the bottom of the stairs.
Zhang Sui's eyes were fixed on King Qi, today, everything will have a result.
King Qi and the prince climbed the ninety-nine eighty-one steps, the chief priest held the hand of the king of Qi in front, and Zhang Sui, as the emperor, held the hand of the prince in the back and walked into the temple.
Then the king of Qi and the prince of Qi took three steps and bowed, and nine steps and one knock.
After three bows and nine bows, the chief priest just led King Qi to the Taimiao Temple.
The chief priest and Zhang Sui respectively let go of the hands of King Qi and Shizi, and King Qi and Shizi stood at the door of the Taimiao Palace, respectively took the lit incense from the priest's hand, and prayed to the heavens.
After the king of Qi and the prince finished praying to the sky, they walked towards the inside of the Taimiao Palace, and the bronze door inside the Taimiao Hall opened, revealing the Fengxian Hall inside.
At the top of the Fengxian Hall, dozens of spiritual seats are placed.
And under these spiritual seats, there are eight dragons carrying the tripod!
At this moment, incense was lit in the middle of the Eight Dragons' Tripod, and the smoke was filled inside, and the phantoms of eight men wearing five-clawed gold-inlaid dragon robes could be faintly seen wandering inside.
King Qi and the prince walked in one after the other.
Zhang Sui and the chief priest followed to the gate of the Fengxian Hall and stopped there.
Watching the King of Qi and the prince of Qi kneeling in front of the Eight Dragons to pay tribute to the sky and their ancestors, Zhang Sui's heart rose to his throat.
His heart was beating violently, and sweat beaded on Zhang Sui's forehead, and his palms were already wet.
The tremendous pressure gave Zhang Sui the urge to collapse and flee.
Finally, after the King of Qi and the prince of Qi finished offering sacrifices to the heavens and their ancestors, they turned around and were about to withdraw from the Fengxian Palace.
Zhang Sui took a hard breath, looked at King Qi and the prince, and opened his eyes suddenly.
The pupil of his right eye dilated rapidly, and in the Fengxian Palace, the Eight Dragons carried the Ding, the King of Qi, the prince, Zhang Sui, the chief priest, and Qi Qi disappeared!
"Help! King Qi and the prince are gone! β
A frightened cry echoed over the temple hall!
