Chapter 340: Ancestral Temple Sacrifice
On this day, Gu Qingzhou came to Ye Xi and talked about the outside affairs.
"The emperor has issued an order to let people prepare sacrifices in the Jongmyo and test their relatives by dripping blood at the Jongmyo."
Ye Xi frowned slightly, in such a situation, a blood test is indeed a method. If you don't do anything and have no evidence, the emperor and the queen mother really can't convince people of Xiao Rui's identity.
Once the emperor has no heirs, it is natural that the loyalty of many courtiers will be shaken.
The emperor has an heir, and it is a tradition since ancient times that the father dies and the son succeeds, and there is nothing to say. Naturally, many of the courtiers would support the emperor's heirs.
But the emperor has no heirs, so naturally many people will be selfish.
Some defected to the Wei family, while others wanted to support the children of the royal family, and if the people were not aligned, the capital might be in chaos.
Especially when the emperor was seriously ill, naturally many people were waiting and watching.
If you want Xiao Rui to restore the status of the prince justifiably, the emperor must always make an appearance. Even if the blood test is absurd, as long as the people or courtiers believe it, it is enough.
"This would have been a good idea, but the Wei family won't let things go so smoothly." Ye Xi sighed.
If you want to drop blood and test your relatives, it must be useful, and the emperor must have to do it. The dignified emperor may not be unaware of the absurdity of this method.
And if the emperor wants to do something, the Wei family will naturally do it.
The outcome depends on how the two sides play.
It's really hard to say who wins and who loses.
"Yes! So now we can only wait and see the results. It depends on whether the emperor is more skilled, or the Wei family suppresses the imperial power. ”
"Thank you for being so helpful and helping me find out."
"We're grasshoppers on a rope now, so why bother talking about that. What's more, it's not too busy. Gu Qingzhou smiled, "I have been prepared for the separation of the family, so naturally I will not be caught off guard." ”
Since he wanted to leave a long time ago, he naturally had already purchased some properties in advance.
took advantage of the end of the Championship to split up, because the news that the Elysium map was woven by his side spread out, and naturally grabbed a lot of business.
After the separation, he no longer has to worry about whether he is competing for business with the Gu family.
After settling down in the new house, it has stabilized a little after all these days.
"I've rebuilt a brocade pavilion, and I've found some weavers, so if you're in the mood, you can go over there and have a look."
"Congratulations then." Ye Xi laughed, "What are you going to do about Ding'an Mansion?" Mrs. Liu and others all said that it was a temporary holiday. ”
"The Championship is over, and there will be no one who will be against them anymore. Naturally, it still has to be restarted, and as long as those flowers are still there, it will not be a loss. I will send someone over there to ensure the safety of Mrs. Liu. ”
After talking for a while, Gu Qingzhou got up and left.
Ye Xi sat quietly for a while, the emperor set the day of sacrifice was the fifteenth, which was very close, and only left a few days to prepare.
At this time, they were also very nervous if they wanted to come to Tang Mu!
If the blood test is successful, naturally Xiao Rui's identity will be affirmed, and they will also win the first game.
But if it doesn't work, it's a catastrophe. Pretending to be the emperor's heir, Xiao Rui is going to die, and Tang Mu, who sent Xiao Rui back to Beijing, is naturally difficult to live.
This is a critical time, and the Wei family will inevitably do their best.
I don't know how Xiao Rui is. The identity of this prince has not brought any benefits to Xiao Rui since he was born.
Xiao Rui's mother was poisoned when she was pregnant, so that Xiao Rui was born with poison, and he has been tortured by the poison for many years.
Finally, the poison was cured, and when I returned to the capital, I still had to face such a danger, and it was so difficult to prove my identity.
At night, Ye Xi only felt that he had been dreaming in a daze.
She dreamed of the day of the sacrifice, and suddenly there was a violent storm, and the whole sky was dark and gloomy, as if the sky was about to fall completely.
She woke up to find that it was still late at night.
Thinking of the scene in the dream, she only felt frightened. This is probably thinking about the day and dreaming at night!
It's just that on the day of the sacrifice, will it really be like in her dream? If the weather is really bad that day, it will affect the sacrifice.
The emperor's choice in the temple shows the importance attached to this matter. Of course, the emperor's move has another meaning, that is, after verifying Xiao Rui's identity, he will sacrifice his ancestors and canonize Xiao Rui as the prince.
It has always been a major event to entitle the queen and the prince, so many emperors will worship the temple in advance and ask the meaning of the ancestors.
Of course, this is just a passing scene, and the day specially chosen by Qin Tianjian will generally not have a big problem.
As long as the weather isn't too bad, even if it's passable, no one will say anything.
But if the weather is too abnormal, there will be courtiers and people who will question it, and this must be because the royal ancestors are not satisfied with this move, so they will warn future generations.
She only felt sweaty all over her body, so she got up and poured herself a glass of water and drank it slowly.
She thought carefully about the scene in her dream, and after the storm, there seemed to be a time when the light was shining. Does this mean that everything will wait for the clouds to open and see the moon?
Although it was just a dream, she somehow thought about it in her heart.
In fact, the time is approaching, she is too nervous!
Do you want to tell Tang Mu about the things in the dream?
If she said it, it was likely that she was overly nervous, and she might have caused trouble to Tang Mu and them for no reason.
If you don't say it, you feel depressed in your heart. What if that day really sounded like a dream? Will her reminder be useful?
She thought about it for a long time, and it wasn't until it was almost dawn that she fell asleep for a while.
When Ye Xi got up again, it was already three poles in the sun, and the maid didn't call her to get up.
When she got up and opened the door, the maid was busy fetching water and waiting for her to wash.
"The girl didn't sleep last night, did she?" The maid stared at Ye Xi's face for a while.
"I had a dream, and I slept for a long time, but I felt very tired." Ye Xi smiled bitterly.
After washing up, the maid went to prepare breakfast, and Ye Xi thought about it and wrote a letter to remind Tang Mu. If the weather is really bad on the day of the sacrifice, try to delay the hour, and maybe the result will be different.
After eating something, she went out to deliver the letter.
After delivering the letter, she walked around the street.
Sure enough, the people of the capital were mostly talking about the things in the palace.
The affairs of the royal family are like modern superstars in this era! But where there is a little bit of wind and grass, there is never a shortage of a large number of people who eat melons.
The royal family has always been high, and ordinary people can't even look up to it.
In such a situation, if there is something interesting about the royal family, naturally many people want to listen to it, discuss it, and satisfy their gossip hearts.
