It is said that on this day, the celestial beings in the heavenly realm will cross the endless stars to inspect the world, listen to the prayers of the human world, fulfill people's wishes, and punish the sins of the world. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Because of this, many memorials in the human world will be arranged on this day, and the same is true of the ceremonies of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In order to show respect for the celestial beings of the heavenly realm, in the early morning of this day, the courtiers will burn incense and bathe at home, change into solemn sacrificial clothes, and then go to the altar to participate in the ceremony.

In a room in the Prince's Mansion, the smell of incense was permeating, and after bathing, Chu Haoxuan walked out of the bath and put on a luxurious dress under the service of the maids.

"Okay, let's all go down and call Zhenyuhou to see me!" Chu Haoxuan waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!" the maids saluted respectfully, and then they all exited the room, and after a while, the Marquis of Zhenyu walked in steadily.

"Meet the Prince!"

"Well, what's the matter, everything I asked you to prepare has been arranged?" Chu Haoxuan asked.

Zhenyuhou hurriedly replied: "Yes, prince, our people have already laid ambushes everywhere, as soon as the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is over, they will start ambushing Luo Yi's father and son and Ji Liuya, this time I promise that they will die without a place to be buried!"

"Very good, although with the current situation, we are not suitable to win over the courtiers, but for the few subordinates who are most loyal to Yun Xuan, we must be pulled out as soon as possible!"

Chu Haoxuan snorted coldly: "When the ceremony is over, I'm afraid I need to be by my father's side, and I won't have the opportunity to make a move in person, so when the time comes, all the actions will be commanded by you, and I will also send a strong person who has entered the Dao realm to help you deal with Feng Lei Hou, remember, you must kill all three of them, and you must not miss, understand?"

"Prince, please rest assured, the humble position will definitely not let them see the sun tomorrow!" Zhen Yuhou smiled coldly.

"Okay, now let's rush to the altar, the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is about to begin!" After Chu Haoxuan finished speaking, the two of them flew out of the room directly and flew towards the center of the city.

Along the way, I saw that all parts of the city were full of people in costumes worshipping towards the center of the city.

The ceremony is very grand, not everyone can participate, only the most honorable group of the upper class of the dynasty, only the most honorable group of people in the dynasty are eligible to enter the altar and witness the emperor sacrifice to the sky, while others can only be outside the altar to express their respect for the heavens.

At this time, in the center of the imperial capital, a huge altar was suspended in the sky, and there were already many people standing on the altar, these were the magnates of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This altar was built by the founding ancestor Chu Zongting, and there are many hanging magnets embedded in it, so the entire altar can be suspended in mid-air.

Chu Haoxuan and Zhenyuhou fell to the altar, and then walked towards the middle, and courtiers kept coming to greet them along the way.

"Prince, it seems that they have sensed something!"

Marquis Zhenyu secretly said that he could feel that the attitude of these courtiers towards the prince had changed a lot, and even some ministers who had been neutral in the past had vaguely expressed their intention to belong to the prince.

"The people who can be ministers in the court are all old foxes, Yun Xuan has not appeared for so long, and these old foxes have already noticed something, so they want to express their goodwill to me in advance, so that when the dynasty changes in the future, they can still keep their power!"

Chu Haoxuan said lightly: "Look at it, it's still just a part of the people, but as long as the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is over, Yun Xuan has not received the blessing of the True Dragon Golden Light, all of them will come to show their goodwill." ”

"Hehe, it's really not a rabbit or an eagle, some people are just too cautious, they have to wait until the end of the ceremony to show goodwill, but they don't want to think about it, when the situation is clear, what's the use of them showing goodwill?"

Zhen Yuhou sneered disdainfully.

The two quickly walked to the center of the altar, only to see that in the open space in the middle, a middle-aged man wearing an imperial robe was sitting cross-legged at this time, and it was the current emperor Chu Dechong.

According to the tradition throughout the ages, before the start of each ceremony, the emperor, as the chief priest of the ceremony, must come to the altar three days in advance to meditate and practice to show his reverence for the heavens.

And around the clearing, the twenty-four princes of the imperial dynasty stood solemnly one by one, each of them was a strong person who had entered the Dao realm, and was the most powerful existence among all those who participated in the heavenly sacrifice ceremony except for the emperor.

As for the top of the dynasty, the eight loyal and brave holy kings who have stepped into the realm of enlightenment, they will not participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, first, because they have a special status and basically will not participate in various things of the dynasty, including sacrifices.

Second, it is because the Eight Great Saint Kings are too powerful, once they appear on the altar, the kind of powerful power that naturally exudes will be anti-guest-oriented, so that the entire ceremony is no longer centered on the emperor.

Although the emperor is also a powerhouse in the Enlightenment Realm, only one person to preside over the ceremony is enough.

As time passed, more and more courtiers came to the altar, but Prince Jiuhuang, one of the most important figures in the ceremony, never appeared.

This made the atmosphere on the altar a little weird, and some people couldn't help but whisper: "What's the matter, why hasn't Prince Jiuhuang appeared yet, has she given up participating in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony?"

"How is it possible, the true dragon golden light of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, but it involves the qualification to inherit the throne, how can the Prince of Nine Phoenix give up?"

"Yes, if she didn't get the True Dragon Golden Light, she would no longer be qualified to compete with the prince in the future. ”

"In my opinion, it's not impossible, haven't you heard some rumors in the capital recently? It is said that since three months ago, Prince Jiuhuang has been seriously ill, and she has not been cured until now, so I'm afraid she really won't be able to come!"

"What a serious illness, I heard that she was poisoned, and the person who poisoned her is still ......"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, do you want to die? In my opinion, Prince Jiuhuang is seriously ill, otherwise how could he not come out of retreat for three months!"

"Yes, yes, it is indeed a serious illness! Alas, it's a pity, in this way, in the future, the throne of the imperial court may be completely returned to the crown prince!"

"Isn't this good? The ownership of the throne is clear, so we don't have to worry, everyone knows who we should submit to in the future, wouldn't it be worry-free?"

"But...... But once Prince Jiuhuang loses power, I'm afraid some people will be unlucky, after all, with the style of the crown prince, it is impossible to let them go!"

"Do you mean the Luo family? Hehe, what does that matter to us, anyway, it's not us who are unlucky, besides, Luo Xiong has recently broken through to the Dao realm, and the power of the Luo family has increased dramatically, and it has touched the interests of other people, and now there are many people in the court who want to see the Luo family disappear!"
