689. In the end
It seems that the etiquette has been simplified, in the past, before the sacrifice to the sky, there was always a candle to sacrifice animals, but this time there was no such process, I saw that after the ceremonial officer placed the things that needed to be used on the half-moon altar, he seemed to say something to the second prince standing next to him, and the people standing below could only see the second prince nodding with a calm face, but what exactly he said, only the ceremonial officer standing next to the second prince could hear it.
Naturally, no one else can know.
Even the two Jiang Xiaohou and Wang Xu at the bottom only glanced at each other, and they couldn't see the reason.
Jiang Xiaohou simply turned his gaze to Jia Yu, who was also standing under the altar.
Although Jia Yu is acting on orders, he is not a ceremonial official or a member of the royal family after all, so it is naturally impossible to say that he personally handled today's ceremony of worshipping the sky.
It will only be in the previous preparations, Jia Yu must have occupied a dominant position, and as for the second prince who took the stage today, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a puppet. The people watching below are also clear in their hearts, and it is naturally impossible to think that the second prince will have any rights because of this matter.
If there is really a role that can be used between the royal family now, there will be no situation where the Jia family, the royal family and the Zhao family are united.
The Jia family needs a character who can ascend the throne to support their dream of being above 10,000 people under one person, while the Zhao family has been entrenched in Sichuan and Shu for many years and does not want to continue to be oppressed by the Chen Fu and Lu families, they also need a chance to ascend the throne, but at the moment, according to the Zhao family's own power, it is still very difficult for them to fight for that position. The Zhao family would not want to touch this matter when the Chu Wangfu was in full swing now, because if one was not handled well, for them, this was the destruction of the entire family.
No matter how good the Zhao family is, they won't want to take the entire family to fight hard, not to mention that now the four families are the weakest in parrying. If it were someone who would be in Zhao De's position, he would not want to face the other three alone.
But if you don't fight for the position now, the Zhao family is likely to become someone else's lackey, or become the thorn in the eye after someone ascends the throne, in other words, it will become the best excuse for others to eradicate dissidents.
To do it to the Zhao family first can be regarded as a scare and warning to others.
The Zhao family knows this matter in their hearts, and it is precisely because of this that the Zhao family does not want to watch this matter become deviated from what they think, which is tantamount to forcing themselves to a dead end.
If the Zhao family wants to survive and not become a pawn in the hands of others, they can only compete for it now.
Don't mention anything else for the time being, just say that the cooperation between the Zhao family and Jia Pre is a good solution for clothes and moths, so let's take what they need.
There is nothing too bad happening, maybe this incident can really make the Zhao family and the Jia family compete for the strength of that position again?
But none of this can be done, and the only thing that is more likely to go wrong is the second prince's side.
To be more precise, it is easy to make mistakes on the royal side.
After all, it's good that the entire royal family can find a person in his right mind now.
What's more, Princess Lian'an, who has a normal brain and is most likely to achieve great things, was also pushed into a fire pit by the royal family.
Although Princess Lian'an does not hate the royal family so much that she wants to watch them die, she will definitely not choose to help the royal family at this time.
In the entire royal family, she is still sober and capable of having brains, and now that Princess Lian'an has to give up the royal family, then the royal family can be said to be really hopeless.
How long will they have to wait?
Can they only wait until someone else enters the imperial city with their own hands to force them to abdicate?
What will happen to the royal family at that time? It is normal to be executed, and the last emperors who have been usurped in the past, who can escape a dead word? After all, no one wants to see the person who sat on the throne at the beginning still dangling in front of him, how to look at it and feel awkward. Even if he can live, he will be imprisoned in a small mansion and rewarded with a so-called title of prince, and his whole life will pass like this.
Or become commoners.
No matter which of these three is present, it is unacceptable to people in today's royal family.
Not only do they want to live, but they want to enjoy the glory and wealth as they do now. Otherwise, if they become commoners, how can they live according to their ability?
In the end, it is still a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
Therefore, when the emperor and the queen mother made the decision to cooperate, no one in the entire imperial family put forward any words of rebuttal, after all, in their opinion, if they could turn this matter into what they imagined, even if they lost their royal identity?
It's better to choose a future emperor by yourself than to be driven out of the imperial city by someone in disgrace, right?
Of course, normal people will definitely not be able to understand their thoughts, but anyone with a little ambition will not watch this matter be brought over like this.
After all, that is the throne, or the throne that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Great Zhou royal family, just as Princess Lian'an said, she knows that the Great Zhou royal family may not be able to pass it on again. But I didn't expect that group of people would give their seats to others so blindly.
What is it? What's going on?
Anyway, from the very beginning, these people in the Great Zhou royal family didn't think about rectifying their side.
They just want to grasp what is glorious and rich.
As for the rest, they don't care anymore.
As long as they can continue to live and continue to live that kind of drunken life and dream of death, then who is the emperor, whether they themselves have dignity, and will they be poked in the back, so what?
This is a ridiculous and shameful idea.
Whenever you sleep, won't you be scolded by the emperor and the emperor?
For them, these things seem to be nothing.
Jiang Xiaohou Ye held his hands, and some of them stood there and watched, but Wang Xu beside him was still a noble son as usual.
Putting aside anything else, just watching the ceremonial official guide the second prince to start the first step of the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, Wang Xu's gaze was slightly deflected, and he also stared at Jia Pre, who was not far from him.
Compared to what was going on on stage, they wanted to see what Jia was going to do.
