Volume 1 Chapter 4 Ancestral Temple Sacrifice Sword
If the emperor clan wants to ascend the throne, they must first hold a temple worship at the age of eighteen, and sprinkle their blood on the sword of the emperor inserted in the cliff wall of the Nine Shadows.
Since the founding of the ancestors, the Kaihuang Sword has been placed on the cliff wall of the Jiuyou Cliff in the back mountain of the Imperial Palace, and the Jiuyou Mountain is a whole mine, and it is also the location of the royal sword. All the swords that come out of this are all mined from the Nine Shadows Ore, and if the sword is broken or the person holding it dies, the sword must be collected and thrown into the Nine Shadows Valley, and the sword is used to raise the mountain, so as to protect the inexhaustible ore and use it inexhaustibly.
But he said that His Royal Highness Wuwu lived in the palace when he was young, and grew up with his younger brother and brother Wuxi. Although the two were not born to the same mother, they have a deep relationship, have always loved each other, play together every day, practice swords, and learn to learn, just like the names of the two, truly carefree. His Royal Highness Sanssouci's mother and the emperor and queen also got along well and enjoyed each other.
Until His Royal Highness Wuwu was five years old, and His Royal Highness Wuwu was four years old, the two slipped out of the harem without permission and ran to the nine cliffs in the back mountain to play.
Then the first emperor was An Datong, so he passed on His Royal Highness Sanssouci to the emperor, and wanted to cultivate His Royal Highness Sanssouci as the crown prince. After that, the imperial concubine felt even more helpless and lonely. Although the first emperor occasionally visited and comforted, it was also a short greeting, not that the first emperor was indifferent, but that his heart was in the community, and he didn't pay much attention to the harem. And the emperor and queen always obstructed His Royal Highness Sanssouci from visiting his mother because of his grudge, and the emperor's concubine became ill with longing, and she also looked haggard and angry.
At the beginning, His Royal Highness Wuwu cried all day long to find his mother, but the palace people all looked at the emperor's face and acted, and they would not help, and the emperor also had resentment in his heart, but he didn't let him succeed, and always coaxed and deceived and perfunctory.
Xu is a child who has a big heart of play and a big forgetfulness. Gradually, His Royal Highness Sanssouci didn't see his biological mother for a long time, and he no longer made noise to find his mother, as if he had forgotten this time. It wasn't until the sixth birthday of His Royal Highness Sanssouci that the first emperor convened a family banquet, and His Royal Highness Sanssouci saw his mother, but it had been more than a year since the last separation.
On that day, His Royal Highness sat obediently beside the emperor and queen, and the clan relatives took turns to pay a visit. The imperial concubine was originally ill and it was inconvenient to participate in the palace all the year round, but this time it was her own insistence that she was reluctantly supported by the palace people to participate in the meeting, in order to see the child.
I saw the imperial concubine staggering forward to worship, and when I saw that my child's eyes were red, her body couldn't stop trembling, and she couldn't speak. The emperor and queen held back her seizure because the first emperor was on her side, so she just snorted coldly and glanced at her face, but Her Royal Highness looked at the woman staring at her with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Auntie is a relative of which family?" It looks familiar. ”
When the imperial concubine heard this, it was like a thunderbolt in the sky, she looked at the child and really looked at a stranger, and it seemed that she really couldn't remember that she was her mother at all. His Royal Highness was also shocked and cried all of a sudden, and was quickly carried away by the emperor.
After that day, the imperial concubine couldn't afford to fall ill, and one day she died. The palace people discussed in private, saying that His Royal Highness was fated to kill his younger brother, and even his mother was angry and died.
Others don't know, in fact, His Royal Highness has no worries about the day the prince and brother fell and was frightened, and he fainted with a high fever for several days. The first emperor invited the best doctor in the imperial capital, and also invited the protector of the sword division to pass on the skills, and finally pulled His Royal Highness Sanssouci back from the ghost gate, but every time he woke up in a dream, he couldn't sleep well at night, Xu was shocked by this illness, and His Royal Highness Wuwu was young and frail, and many things were lost.
On that day of sacrifice, the stage is full of Manchu Dynasty cultural relics, the first emperor and the emperor and the queen left and right to help His Royal Highness worry-free on the altar, at this time he has turned eighteen years old, born with a slender body, handsome eyebrows and eyes, dressed in a well-sewn purple brocade shirt, elegant and free, really a talent, the dragon and phoenix in the people.
I saw him slowly ascend to the altar, took out the saber and cut his fingers, dripped the blood into the sacrificial bowl one by one, and then threw the sacrificial bowl into the Kaihuang Sword on the cliff wall of the Nine Shadows, and the blood immediately slashed on the sword body and slowly fainted.
"Good!" All the officials in the audience cheered and praised.
Unbeknownst to him, after the blood of His Highness Sanssouci stained the Kaihuang Sword, the blade of the sword did not turn sharp and glowing, but slowly turned dark, and the whole sword turned completely black and turned into a rusty sword.
"Ahh This... All the officials present changed color, and some panicked people knelt on the ground for a while.
"How so?!" The most frightened and stunned is His Royal Highness Sanssouci, he has been in self-denial for a long time, and he has not been able to get the attention and admiration of the people around him, and finally survived to this day, but this kind of accident happened, and his mind was blank for a while, and he was at a loss.
"Come on, help the prince back to rest first. Bu Tiansi, quickly and thoroughly investigated the matter, and the reason was not clear, and he was severely punished. "It turns out that Bu Tiansi is in charge of this sacrificial matter, and he can't eat it and walk around with such a big basket, but for various reasons, it is not clear and unclear, and the first emperor's words are just to stabilize people's hearts, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
