The capital, which should have been immersed in sleep, is now very lively. The people also rushed to rise up in order to be blessed in this festival. Even if they can't enter the Heaven Worship Square, they can listen to the bell of the end of the Heaven Worship Ceremony from a distance outside the square, and under this bell, they kneel down to worship heaven and earth and hope for good luck in the coming year, for these people, this is already a custom that has been passed down since the founding of the Holy Dragon Dynasty. The New Emperor's sacrifice to the sky is different from the usual sacrifice to the sky, it used to be in Fulong Temple, but today it is in the city's sacrifice platform.

When the morning glow dyed the sky red, and the first rays of the morning sun hit the festival square, there were already dense people waiting in front of the high gate in front of the square to play a role in isolation. Of course, these people were mainly concentrated in Simon. There are a total of four gates in the festival, which stand in the east, south, west and north directions. The east gate is the gate through which the Son of Heaven enters. The so-called purple qi comes from the east, which is to paraphrase this sentence to express the sacredness of the east gate. The south gate was opened for civil and military officials, and the north gate was opened for queens and concubines. Of course, the only person who is eligible to pass through this gate now is Leng Yue. The west gate is some distance from the altar and has not been opened in previous years. This year, it was opened to allow the people to enter through the door.

"Woo-" A long, low horn sounded. The West Gate, which had been in the dust for a hundred years, began to open slowly. The people looked in with excited eyes, trying to be the first to witness the sacred heavenly square.

"Uhh The south gate began to open, and the first to enter was a group of forbidden soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons. They are neatly and orderly arranged in the Worship Heavens Square. Then the civil and military officials began to enter the Sacrifice Square with solemn steps, and stood in their respective positions.

Then the north gate began to open, and Leng Yue, who was wearing a yellow dragon robe, entered the square with dignified steps. Such a cold moon made the hearts of hundreds of officials feel cold. That majestic temperament invisibly makes others feel impressed in their hearts. Fang Qingzhuo, who was standing in the first place, focused his eyes on that beautiful face.

"Ahh The ministers unconsciously set their eyes on the door that was gradually opening. Although they each have different thoughts, they want to see if their king really reads: the net list can hold up this world.

As the door opened, Long Xi took a deep breath and began to take heavy steps and walked into the door. For a moment, the bright and dazzling light made his eyes appear white, and he unconsciously raised his eyes slightly, adapting to the light of the sun.

Finally, when he opened his eyes again, he saw the situation in front of him. Long Xi, who suddenly became the center of everyone's attention, was inevitably cowardly for a while. This cowardice is reflected in the dark eyes, and of course this cowardice can't escape those ministers who are comparable to human spirits.

Long Xi began to unconsciously search for the familiar person. After seeing the encouraging smile on Leng Yue's face, he began to regain his indifference and majesty, and continued the pace that had just been interrupted. It turns out that being an emperor is not a good errand, first of all, you must be bold, otherwise you will be scared to death sooner or later.

Soon, Long Xi had already stood on the five-meter-high altar, took the sacrificial text from the hand of Si Tianjian, and began to read the sacrificial text to the fire on the altar. The immature voice began to float to everyone in the audience.

Leng Yue smiled proudly, and did not regret the hard work day and night. The way the prayer was read was so beautiful.

Finally, the text began to be read. According to the custom, Long Xi threw the sacrificial text in his hand into the flames and burned this intention to the gods.

But that's when the unexpected happened. The fire that was still burning was extinguished in an instant. Such a vision made the ministers look at each other, and their eyes were full of worry. After all, the extinguishing of this fire meant that the gods did not accept their prayers.

"Your Majesty, it seems that even the gods no longer recognize you." Long Zhongtian began to stride up to the altar.

"Knock-knock-knock", as his footsteps sounded, countless soldiers emerged in the surrounding woods of the Heaven Sacrifice Square. The forbidden army, which was supposed to resist vigorously, did not point their weapons at the enemy, but instead pointed their blades at the people in the Sacrifice Square.

Such a sudden situation shocked the ministers. Faced with the blade that reflected the cold light of the forest in the scorching sun, they clearly realized that the son of the right prime minister had staged a coup d'état.

At this moment, Long Zhongtian was already standing at the top of the sacrificial platform, standing in front of Long Xi, looking at Long Xi, who had unconsciously retreated because of his arrival, his eyes were full of contempt: "Long Xi, you are no longer qualified to be the emperor of the Holy Dragon Dynasty." ”

He strode forward, his eyes full of murderous aura, causing Long Xi to instinctively retreat.

He pretended to be calm and said, "Big, bold, what do you want to do?" The timid voice had already leaked the fear in his heart.

"Hmph, a child should be like a child. Don't try to be an adult. Long Zhongtian stepped forward again, staring at Long Xi with a fierce look in his eyes.

This step made Long Xi speed up and retreat again, but his footsteps couldn't keep up with the speed of leaning back: "Bang-" sounded, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment. The dragon hat representing supreme power on his head also rolled to the ground.

Such a scene made the ministers know that they were afraid that Long Zhongtian was likely to succeed in his rebellion this time. The minister's gaze began to look at Leng Yue, expecting to come into contact with an extremely pale face, but the smile on the red lips made them puzzled. I couldn't believe that the smile was genuine. Yes, it was as if the hunter's smile when he saw his prey fall into his own trap. His gaze turned and fell on Zuo Xiang's body. In the same way, there was no panic or paleness on his face. The ministers began to keenly sense that there might be some turning point behind this, so they focused on the people on the stage.

"Bold Dragon Zhongtian, you dare to be so presumptuous and offend the emperor." The soft voice of Weiyi sounded. Leng Yue stepped onto the altar with an angry face.

Long Xi began to get up from the ground, leaning behind her and saying, "Mother, he bullied me. ”

Such cowardice, such a performance, made Long Zhongtian very disdainful. "Why are you obsessed with a child? What can he give you? No. He can't give you anything like that. Instead, I can give you anything you want. At this moment, he no longer respectfully calls her Niangniang.

Leng Yueming's eyes swept towards Long Zhongtian, and said coldly: "Dare to ask General Long, what can you give to the mourning family?" With your status as a general, what can you give to the concubine of the mourning family? She deliberately provoked him by calling herself and addressing him.
