Chapter 264: Knock on the Prince

Knock knock!

On the second of February, the dragon raises its head!

The capital of Bianliang is jubilant, the gongs and drums are noisy, running to celebrate, regardless of men, women and children, their faces are filled with indescribable brilliance.

Whoa!

The rich people scattered a handful of copper coins, causing the naughty children to rob a ball, even ordinary people who were strapped for money would prepare a few kinds of cakes and respectfully worship heaven and earth to pray for blessings.

The yamen of various ministries have already dispatched capable soap officials to maintain order everywhere to prevent chaos from going haywire.

Different from previous years, many people's homes in the southern outer city not only worship heaven and earth, Emperor Xi, and worship the Dragon Lord, but also set up a brand-new tablet, on which the inscription is Wu Ziming!

According to the rules of Shenzhou's sixteen-year-old adulthood, Wu Ming should have a table character, and the three elders Wu Fu, Chen Tai, and Liu Zheng take the ancient saying 'Fuzi Mingpi' and get 'Ziming' as a table.

It means that the emperor is restored to the throne and regained power!

It is quite consistent with his experience at the time!

Eradicate Fushou Cave, create a real martial arts hall, redress unjust cases, etc., as well as suppress the large and small gang forces in the southern outer city, and dare not bully the people again.

If it weren't for Wu Ming's strong refusal, I'm afraid that the ancestral halls proposed by someone before would not be known to be built now.

The festive atmosphere infected everyone, and the streets were full of dragon and lion dances and other jugglers, and there were even exotic music and dance teams, walking the streets and alleys, performing hard.

In the sound of gongs and drums, dozens of extremely long teams gathered at the Sheji Altar on the east side of the Ziyang Gate of the Imperial Palace!

The Sheji altar covers an extremely wide area, with a radius of 10,000 acres, without any vegetation inside, and there is only a circular altar with a height of 99 zhang in the middle, stacked on top of each other, straight to the sky!

At this time, the civil and military officials took the lead, Emperor Zhao Yukun took the lead, and after the long line, there were representatives of all ethnic groups in the capital, as well as the elders of Linzhen Township!

At this time, the sky is clear, a peaceful, everyone stands solemnly, the birds are silent, only in the front, a few old people sacrifice wine, in a very respectful tone, proclaiming the obscure sacrificial text.

After each sacrificial text is read, the ministers of various ministries come forward to salute heaven and earth, with Emperor Zhao as the first, and proceed in order according to the official position.

On such an important occasion, not only did they invite their hometowns, but even many ministers who lived in seclusion and were at home also came forward.

These people are extremely high in terms of age and prestige, and the order of ranking is even above the hundred officials.

Every time he went out, Emperor Zhao would salute respectfully to show respect.

It's just that a few of these old men looked dissatisfied when they looked to the southeast.

The scope of the shrine is too wide, even if it is cultivated as a high wall, without using the divine sense, it is impossible to see the edge, only the existence of the divine spirit in it can vaguely sense that there are many people there are active.

But no one dares to use any supernatural powers to watch, because this is the altar of the society, and the will given by the saints, and anyone who dares to spy will be punished by the holy will.

No matter how light or heavy, no one dares to be presumptuous, after all, no one knows the consequences, throughout the ages, those who dare to do this will end up extremely miserable!

Dozens of white-faced eunuchs in red robes, old or middle-aged, holding all kinds of sacrifices to the heavens and the earth, all stood solemnly, but when they were quite similar to these old men, they cast a cold gaze to the southeast from time to time.

Zhao Huang Zhao Yukun, with a strained face throughout the whole process, seemed not to notice the small movements in the team, strictly observed the etiquette, and completed all the matters arranged for the sacrificial wine in an orderly manner.

In fact, he has inherited the throne for many years and has long been familiar with this process, but such a major event cannot tolerate a little difference.

It's just that what makes him extremely unhappy is that in addition to paying respects to heaven and earth and praying for blessings today, there is one more thing that makes him feel like a fish in his throat!

"Your Majesty, it's time to ask the elders from all counties and townships to offer incense and sacrifice!"

Xu was aware that he was a little distracted, and a tall and thin white-eyed eunuch whispered.

"Hoo ......"

Zhao Yukun was stunned and came back to his senses, he glanced at the southeast coldly, and when he turned his head, he already had a solemn face, and his eyes were full of sincerity and humility, so he asked the old man who had been waiting for a long time below to step forward.

Strict procedures are carried out meticulously, from the morning when the stars fade away, the sun rises, until the moment before the sun rises.

Whew!

The cloudless clear sky, I don't know when there are a lot of white clouds, the breeze is rising, and the warmth is melting!

It's just that at the end of the sacrifice, the clouds in the sky have gathered into thick clouds of tens of miles in size, looming in the form of dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and the sky has also darkened.

In the face of the change of color in the heavens and the earth, no one showed a panicked color, especially those old people, all of them showed anticipation, even if it was the first time to participate in the sacrifice, they even showed excitement.

As the clouds surged, the heavens and the earth became darker and darker, and I don't know if it was the breeze blowing or other forces, but they began to surge, spinning at a speed that seemed to be slow and fast!

Seeing this scene, the gloom in Zhao Yukun's eyes seemed to have been reduced by half, and he nodded with satisfaction.

......

At the same time, in a high-hall temple in the southeast of Shejitan, a group of teams stood in unison and solemnly.

Although the number of people is thousands of times less than in the social altar, the atmosphere is not bad at all!

Around the Sheji Altar, there are Heaven and Earth Gate, Wenwu Temple, Wanmin Temple, and Sheji Temple.

On the plaque in front of this temple, there are three majestic golden characters - Wenwu Temple!

On the stone steps, a drooping old man, with goosebumps and age spots, finished reading the prayer.

At the bottom of the stone steps, Wu Ming stood, and behind him Wu Fu, Hu Cang, Chai Qing and others were side by side.

Hu Lai, Peng Chao, Wang An and other small people were not present.

Even though Shenzhou is more enlightened than ancient China, the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if Wu Ming tries his best, but under the strict hierarchical system, his arms still can't twist his thighs.

In desperation, he simply let the little ones wait in the palace, anyway, for him, it was just a formality.

"Licheng, Wu Ziming, entitled!"

Mu Chun finished reading the holy decree with an expressionless face, and put it on the tray in the hands of the little eunuch on the side, and there was a palm-sized wooden box next to it. The other little eunuch was holding a set of blue-gold court clothes, from headdresses to robes, belts, and even shoes.

Swish!

Wu Fu took the lead in stepping forward, took the court clothes and shook them, and put them on Wu Ming.

Unlike when he first returned to the capital three years ago, he didn't even have the strength to wear a piece of clothing, although his hands were still trembling, he showed indescribable firmness, and he meticulously dressed Wu Ming.

Hu Cang and Chai Qing on the side went straight to the holy decree and seal tray.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Ming, who looked like a young man next door, was wearing a golden jade crown at this time, wearing a four-clawed dragon python robe, a golden jade belt around his waist, pinned to his seal pocket, a handsome and resolute face with sharp edges and corners, sword eyebrows obliquely inserted into his sideburns, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his majesty was full of dignity!

"There is Lao Lao, there is Lao Mu's father-in-law, and you have to wait for a long time!"

Wu Ming casually turned around for half a circle, as if he was a little uncomfortable with the close-fitting court clothes, and bowed his hand to everyone slightly.

"Hehe, the prince has first ascended the throne, he should focus on the community and the people, return home quickly, and tell the ancestors. ”

The old sacrificial wine spoke leaky, revealing a toothless mouth, waving his hand warmly, and with the support of a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt, he took the lead in leaving.

"World ...... Lord, the sacrifice has been completed, and our family still has something to do, so I won't accompany you. ”

Mu Chun glanced at Wu Ming complicatedly, without being too polite, and left with the two little eunuchs, looking alone.

"Go home!"

Wu Ming didn't care, he looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, the corners of his mouth outlined an unpredictable smile, and waved his hand casually.

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

Hu Cang and Chai Qing couldn't hide their excitement, and after respectfully kneeling and saluting, they took the lead in opening the way.

Out of the Sheji Altar, boarded the carriage, and went straight to the palace of Wu Wangfu in the south of the city.

"Knock on the prince!"

When they arrived in front of the palace, without waiting for Wu Ming to get out of the car, the sixteen guards on both sides of the table like a benchmark, under the leadership of Sun Shanwu, all knelt on the ground, shouting loudly and tremblingly!

"Flat!"

Unlike the previous warmth, he didn't greet him with a smile, Wu Ming stepped out of the carriage majestically, his calm gaze swept over everyone, and he bowed slightly.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Sun Shanwu and other guards shouted loudly and got up, attracting passers-by to wait and see, shapes and shapes, and so on.

When he walked in front of everyone, Wu Ming patted Sun Shanwu on the shoulder, and then stepped into the house.

Sun Shanwu whispered a few words to the guards, and trotted to follow.

"Knock on the prince!"

The guards and servants who came and went in the house, regardless of men, women and children, all followed the system and etiquette when they saw Wu Ming and his party from afar.

The guards were half-kneeling, and the servants were on their knees, respectful and awe-inspiring to the extreme!

Although Wu Ming never asked for this on weekdays, and even explicitly stipulated that he was not allowed to kneel, but the strict system had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was impossible to prohibit it at all, so in the end he could only let it go, and after some 'bargaining', everyone just accepted that he could not kneel.

It's just that this time is different from the past, Wu Ming inherited the throne, and as a member of the palace, the tide naturally rose, and they all paid a big salute.

Wu Ming knew everyone's thoughts, and he was not reluctant, and after accepting the salute with peace of mind, he let everyone get up.

"Huh?"

When he walked to the backyard, when he saw the gift boxes placed all over the yard, and even the items in the baskets, Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.

To his surprise, there were still ordinary eggs, millet, and even tables, chairs, benches and other sundries.

"Lord Wang, this is a gift from the people of Nancheng!"

Sun Shanwu said respectfully.

"Since it is the people's heart, we must not slack off, today is an auspicious day, after the sacrifice is completed, we will arrange, and each family will return the gift with white corn. ”

Wu Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and he commanded solemnly.

"Ah......h

Sun Shanwu was shocked and looked embarrassed.

"If the inventory is not enough, go to Guangyuan Zhai to withdraw it!"

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he went straight to Ciyun Garden.

Ninety percent of the palace's inventory was used to prepare for the construction of the Zhenwu Martial Arts Hall, and a piece of white corn is the amount of a tea bowl, and there are too many people who can give gifts.

But Jia Zheng got a few treasures from Wu Ming, and he took some white corn, which was naturally not a problem.

"Knock on the prince!"

When they arrived at Ciyun Garden, all the small ones led by Hu Lai knelt on the ground in a uniform manner, and the sound shook the sky!
