Chapter 370: Sacrifice to Heaven (1)
The worship of heaven is in the southeast of the palace, the special worship site, the heavenly holy building, the emperors of the past dynasties ascended the throne, and the annual worship of the sky and pray for the wind and rain are all there.
They need to take a Hua to go over, and when they set off, it was dark, and when they got there, the sky was only slightly white, and the civil and military officials were already waiting there.
Bonfires were lit all around, and a golden carpet was in the middle.
The new emperor sacrifices to the sky, and must say goodbye to the old and welcome the new when the first rays of the sun shine on the earth in the early morning, implying that the country is thriving, and all have to get up so early.
Hua stopped, and everyone bowed down to welcome the new emperor: "Welcome Your Majesty!" ”
The new emperor slowly stepped out of the carriage, but after the new emperor, a person wearing the same style of clothes also walked down.
Shen Jinqiao is actually quite nervous, she only knew two days ago that she was going to worship the heavens together, and there was no news in the court, her appearance here today will definitely provoke the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
However...... No.
There was not a word of opposition in Shen Jinqiao's fantasy, only the following sentence: "Welcome to the queen!" ”
Shen Jinqiao couldn't believe it, she promised Rong Junzhi to wear this dress, and she was ready to face all the wind and rain, but why was there nothing?
Shen Jinqiao's hand in Rong Junzhi's palm tightened slightly, this uncontrolled natural reaction showed the uneasiness in her heart, Rong Junzhi held her hand slightly to give her strength, and led her forward firmly.
Shen Jinqiao's worries, why didn't he know? But since he had decided to bring her here, how could he not be thoughtful about her?
He is her queen, and she will have to face more storms in the future, and today he will save her from these questions and targets.
Yesterday, the court meeting discussed the sacrifice to the sky, and when the new emperor said that he would take the queen to sacrifice to the sky together, the whole dynasty was shaken.
"How can the crown princess follow along to worship the heavens?"
"A woman sacrifices to the sky, this is simply a vain disregard for the law of etiquette, where is the ancestral heaven and earth?"
"Your Majesty, this won't work."
Everyone didn't dare to rebel, with the deterrence of the previous prince, they also knew that it was not okay to make trouble, and they had to be reasonable.
But this time the new emperor was resolute: "You are wrong, you are not the crown princess, you are my queen, husband and wife?" There is nothing wrong with the emperor and queen sacrificing to the sky. ”
"Your Majesty......" Taishi Chen stepped forward and bowed? A solemn and rigorous face? looked at Rong Junzhi disapprovingly: "What did Your Majesty do before?" It's all harmless, and besides, the queen is really talented and learned, so it's not a big deal? But the new emperor's sacrifice to heaven is related to the fortune of the country? It must not be child's play, and please think twice. ”
Everyone hurriedly followed: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”
The sound is quite loud, and listening to it makes people feel pressured.
How many other princes are there? But they haven't spoken yet? King Xiang, do they not speak? And King Yu and King Ming are each pregnant with ghosts? King Ming is ready for a rebellion? Just wait for tomorrow to raise your arms and someone will respond? It's okay if Shen Jinqiao went, so he didn't have to go to find someone to find it, and he just caught it all.
Thinking about their fate in his heart, the emotions on King Ming's face were a little uncontrollable, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of viciousness and pride.
Rong Jun actually brought a woman to the heavens? It's just an excuse to send him to the door? A woman's sacrifice to the heavens angered the gods? And he obeys the destiny of heaven? Putting things right can no longer be justified.
"Your Majesty." Leng Taiwei shouted: "If you insist on taking a woman to sacrifice to the heavens, angering the gods? If the gods of heaven send down heavenly punishments, you are ignoring the Xia Dynasty and the people of the world, please think twice! ”
There are three princes next to them, Prince Lu, Prince Zhuang, and King Qin'an, they did not participate in the former crown prince's succession, so they survived, but Emperor Xia was also afraid of them, and did not give them any real power, only let them manage the royal family, and the new emperor's ceremony of worshipping the heavens naturally asked them to appear, especially Prince Lu also participated in presiding.
Prince Lu stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is outstanding in learning, has both ability and political integrity, you value her is understandable, we also admire the queen mother, but this sacrifice to the sky is a national event, it is related to the foundation of the ancestors, please be cautious, it is the emperor...... Nor will it be agreed. ”
Rong Junzhi's attitude towards Prince Lu is quite good: "Thank you Uncle Huang for your advice, but I have made up my mind." ”
Seeing this, Taishi Chen slowly shook his head: "Your Majesty insists on going his own way, and one day he will regret it." ”
In the end, the courtiers still compromised, they wanted to persuade, so they had to be persuaded?
Rong Jun has been in charge of the government for more than half a year, and his style of action has been cleared by everyone, if there is something to discuss, he is not without letting people put forward opinions, but if he has made up his mind, then it is useless for anyone to say, even if he uses strong means to achieve results.
Single-mindedness, stubbornness, and arbitrariness are completely tyrants' style, but in terms of political affairs, he can be regarded as a good monarch for the country and the people.
They can't persuade them to sacrifice to the sky, or they can't do anything, or they have a ghost in their hearts.
However, they thought that it was the emperor and queen who sacrificed to the sky together, but they didn't expect the queen to wear a dragon costume, and everyone gasped.
Even King Ming, who thought that he could win the battle today and had a 'calm' heart, couldn't help but jump out: "Rong Junzhi, you actually let a woman wear a dragon suit, it's just a big rebellion." ”
There is no need for Rong Junzhi to answer, the duke shook off the dust and stared at King Ming: "King Ming calls the new emperor by his name, isn't it even more rebellious?" ”
"You ......" King Ming looked at him angrily, and the wild goose guards behind the playboy looked at him in unison, his eyes were very intimidating, and he was not half respectful because he was a prince.
King Ming gritted his teeth angrily: "Okay, you are all very good!" ”
When his army arrived, he was the first to slaughter them.
Rong Jun led Shen Jinqiao unimpeded to the altar, turned to face the civil and military officials, Prince Lu first read out the holy decree of the queen, and crowned Shen Jinqiao as the queen on the altar.
After sealing the queen, the edict of sacrifice to heaven was read.
Rong Junzhi personally wrote, and every word of the content was carefully considered by him, suing heaven and earth, praying for blessings, heaven and earth, yin and yang, husband and wife are one, and the prosperous world is peaceful.
After the reading was completed, the civil and military officials knelt down to worship the mountain and shouted, 'Long live my emperor.' ’
"Wait a minute." King Ming suddenly interrupted, strode to the middle, and was quite domineering when he walked out, but suddenly found that there was no one behind him, and he was a little weak in an instant.
Only then did Taiwei Leng react and stood behind King Ming, and Qi Shaoyu also stood over and made up the numbers.
King Ming felt that he was confident, so he asked with a righteous face: "Rong Junzhi, you have imprisoned your father for half a year, trying to seize power, and the wolf's ambition has forced your father to sit in you, and now he is taking a woman to worship the sky together, ignoring the ancestral etiquette, you are not worthy of sitting on this throne at all." ”
