The next day, early in the morning.

The first rays of sunlight poured down the window in front of the bed and reflected on Chen Yuan's face.

His eyelashes moved slightly, he opened his eyes, sat up from the bed with an indifferent expression, and got dressed.

This night, he had a good night's sleep for the first time in a long time.

Since Jiang He and the others left last night, he had been sitting in the secret room for two hours, originally wanting to spend the night with cultivation, but for some reason, a long-lost sleepiness came to his heart.

He didn't force it, and went back to his room and went to sleep.

Everything was calm.

After eating early, Chen Yuan put on the official uniform of the commander of the imperial city and headed in the direction of the imperial city.

This day is the eighth year of Jingtai in the Great Jin Dynasty, the ninth day of December, and it is also the triennial ancestor worship ceremony of the royal family.

......

......

The ancestor worship ceremony is a three-year sacrifice, and no matter what happens for more than 200 years, it has never been postponed or canceled, and it has almost become a symbol.

At the beginning, the Great Jin Dynasty was not stable when it was founded, and whenever it was this time, there would be some turmoil in the world, and this time was no exception.

As far as Chen Yuan knew, there were people inciting rebellion in the Blood State, and it was the demonic forces behind the manipulation.

The place to worship ancestors is in the West Imperial City, which is the closest to the imperial tomb, and you can see the ethereal mountains from afar, which is naturally an excellent location.

It has been said before that the imperial city is very large, and it can even be compared to a prefecture city.

The palace alone naturally can't use such a large place.

The East Imperial City is very close to the harem, the South Imperial City is very close to the Imperial Palace, the Western Imperial City is the closest to the Imperial Tomb, and the Northern Imperial City is the seat of the imperial family.

In fact, it is more advantageous for Chen Yuan to become the commander of the Western Imperial City, but in this case, it is inevitable that it will attract some attention.

Moreover, the closer it is to the start of the ancestor worship ceremony, the less there can be too much movement, and the leader of the Eastern Imperial City is promoted, so it has naturally become the first place to choose the Dao God Palace.

And the commander of the Western Imperial City is also an important part of the guard of the ancestor worship ceremony at that time.

Since the morning, the imperial court has begun to quickly prepare for the worship of ancestors, although it is not public, but with the size of the imperial court, even if it is not publicized, it is enough to shock.

In the capital, all weddings and funerals have been prohibited since before the seventh day, and ancestor worship must be solemn.

After Chen Yuan arrived at the Eastern Imperial City Division, he gathered his men and began to quickly assemble towards the Western Imperial City.

Merely....

No matter how well it is done, it is only a superficial effort.

If it was a guard, all these people under him would be just cannon fodder.

On the way there, Chen Yuan vaguely mentioned some things to Tao Qingyuan, saying that he was secretly ordered by the emperor to leave for a while after the ancestor worship ceremony began, and he would need to control everything at that time.

If someone else asks, don't be noticed.

Tao Qingyuan solemnly said that he understood, reassuring Chen Yuan.

Anyway, Chen Yuan has already handed over these things to him, and there will be no leaks.

I believe that he is a mere Dan Realm Grandmaster, and he will not attract anyone's attention at the beginning of the turmoil.

At the end of the hour, the personnel of the Eastern Imperial City Division all arrived at the designated location, not too early or too late, and before Chen Yuan brought people here, several other Imperial City Commanders had almost begun to arrange.

There was no more than thirty paces of a guard, and thousands of people were firmly guarded on the outermost level.

Among the four imperial city commanders, there are two under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Survey Division, and the other two are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Prison Division, and the relationship with them is not good.

Just nodded and said hello.

Only the commander who belonged to the Heaven Survey Division stepped forward to greet Chen Yuan, his name was Wu Gou, he was nearly sixty years old, and he was considered an old Shi Dan Grandmaster.

I have also been in this position for nearly ten years, and I am an old qualification.

But he still didn't dare to put on any show in front of Chen Yuan, not to mention Chen Yuan's previous reputation, just the close relationship between him and Zhang Yantong, the Xuanzi Divine Envoy, was enough to make him befriend, and his posture was very low.

Chen Yuan didn't take a shelf, and talked a few words quietly.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The guards in the palace also began to come gradually, they were the second layer of defense, the number was only about one-third of the four imperial city divisions, only more than three hundred people,

But it's the best of the best.

All of them were selected from the Celestial Survey Division, the army, or the Imperial Guard, and their duty was to guard the Emperor, which was more practical than the honor guard.

The lowest is also a Ning Gang warrior, dressed in golden chain armor, holding a long ge, and guarding the side with an expressionless face.

The cultivation of the Praetorian Guard Commander is also one level higher than that of the Four Great Commanders, and he is a true person who transforms into a yang.

Even Chen Yuan glanced around, but he didn't find anyone who was ugly or short, obviously there were some requirements for the image.

With the arrival of the people of the Four Imperial City Divisions and the palace guards, the preparation process for the ancestor worship ceremony began to be prepared gradually, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites entered.

On a high platform, a large number of fresh offerings were placed.

And these sacrifices also made Chen Yuan's eyes squint slightly.

Because what is on display is not ordinary poultry and livestock, but a 'monster' that is many times larger!

Even a skull is larger than a whole animal.

The whole thing is very clean and placed on the altar.

In addition, there are melons and fruits.

Without exception, these melons and fruits are not ordinary things.

All of them contain spirituality, and if they are put outside, they are worth a lot of yuan crystals.

Sure enough, it is the royal family worshipping ancestors, and it is indeed wealthy.

In front of the altar, a warrior carried out a huge furnace from the temple, and three incense sticks were inserted by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

In the tedious preparation process, a lot of time has passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to come.

It was about nine o'clock in the morning.

The preparations for worshipping the ancestors were almost over, Chen Yuan's eyes were certain, and he keenly saw a large number of people coming from not far away, led by Jingtai's dragon bowl.

Jingtai was dressed in a golden dragon robe, embroidered with nine lifelike dragon robes.

On his side, there are princes such as Sima Qian, Sima You, and Sima Ke, but there is only one woman in Princess Pingyang, and I don't know what the rules are.

Jingtai's son, even if he was a child, followed him with a respectful demeanor at this moment.

On the outer side are the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as Jingtai arrived, the civil and military officials, court nobles, and royal family members who had been prepared for a long time also began to rush in from the rest of the directions, and soon a large group of people gathered.

The four great envoys of the Heavenly Survey Division, Cao Zhengxian, the superintendent of the imperial factory, the six Shangshu, the first assistant of the dynasty, and the nobles at all levels all made a real appearance on this day.

It is also the most complete one Chen Yuan has ever seen.

At a cursory glance, there were hundreds of people gathered behind Jingtai.

Originally, Chen Yuan should also be among the noble people, but because of his duties, he couldn't abandon his position as commander to pay homage with him.

But he doesn't have any regrets.

Saluting these royal ancestors of the Sima family can be avoided naturally.

As soon as these people came out, a solemn atmosphere began to linger in the entire huge venue, no one dared to make a loud noise, and Chen Yuan's eyes kept flashing.

Suddenly, he noticed that several eyes were fixed on his body.

His gaze was fixed, first on Princess Pingyang's body, the two stared at each other for a moment, smiled, and then looked away.

followed by the other two princes, Sima Qian and Sima You.

With a faint smile on their faces, they greeted Chen Yuan.

He smiled as well.

At last.... It was the gaze of the fourth prince, Sima Ke.

Although he was punished by Jingtai for copying Buddhist scriptures and meditating in the palace for a period of time, this kind of royal sacrifice still cannot be missed, and he must come, but his gaze is a little complicated.

There is hatred, jealousy, and inexplicable irritability.

Especially when he saw Chen Yuan and the imperial sister Pingyang's eyebrows, he felt inexplicably awkward in his heart, and he didn't want to think about it in another way, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.

Mother, Imperial Sister, Chen Yuan....

These three names are constantly haunting his mind.

Looking at his gaze, the corners of Chen Yuan's mouth hooked and moved his lips.

Sima Ke's face suddenly changed greatly, and he suddenly looked away, and he saw Chen Yuan's mouth shape.

That's the word "lady."

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he might be finished.

With such a handle in Chen Yuan's hands, wouldn't he have to eat it for the rest of his life?

Do you have to be completely under his hands?

As long as he does not ascend the throne, once any news comes out of Chen Yuan's mouth, then he is basically dead, the royal family, and the court officials will not let a person who troubles the harem become the emperor.

At the same time, he also felt unusually aggrieved.

He is subject to Chen Yuan, his mother is committed to Chen Yuan, and the imperial sister is devoted to Chen Yuan....

How the hell can they be a family pit?

Isn't it that I offended before-->>

[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】

This guy?

But my uncle was severely punished for this!

Seeing that Sima Ke's face was gloomy and uncertain, the corners of Chen Yuan's mouth also hooked up a faint smile. c0m

This secret....

He eats for the rest of his life!

It's a pity that Chen Yuan didn't know Sima Ke's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely be stimulated.

For example, he glanced at him calmly, and then whispered:

"Your mother, it's very moist!"

"What's wrong?"

Jingtai frowned, and his gaze turned to Sima Ke.

"No... Nothing, Erchen just thought of something. ”

With a light snort, Jingtai didn't pay any more attention to Sima Ke, and let the corners of Sima Qian's and Sima You's mouths hook.

Among those civil and military officials, Chen Yuan also found Guo Peng's figure, he was not in the sequence of military officials, but stood behind several great Confucians.

Seeing Chen Yuan's sweeping gaze, he smiled at him kindly.

In addition to this, Chen Yuan also found a problem.

When the imperial teacher of the country, the Puxian Bodhisattva, and the Shenwu Zhenjun, who had never met, did not appear on this occasion, and he knew that the royal family also had a true monarch and a strong person.

But now, for some reason, he didn't show up.

Could it be that the true monarch does not need to participate in ancestor worship?

Or is there a plan?

However, there were a lot of powerhouses in the imperial court, and in his perception alone, he found that no less than ten Huayang real people appeared here.

While Chen Yuan was thinking about this, the time was almost close to noon, and the ancestor worship ceremony was about to begin, and the four figures slowly walked out.

All four of them were dressed in Taoist robes and stood on the four sides of the altar with dust whisks in their hands.

Then, the four of them waved the dust whisk in their hands in unison.

The next moment, the originally cloudless sky began to surge in the clouds.

In the eyes of everyone, it turned into a magnificent picture.

The golden dragon dances, and the fire phoenix spreads its wings.

Two strange beasts formed by clouds circled over the imperial city.

This hand alone was a miracle for the ordinary people in Shenjing City, and the people who saw this scene knelt down and saluted.

And this hand also made Chen Yuan's face solemn.

Having such a skillful control over the vitality is not an ordinary thing that can be done, it must be meticulous, at least, he can't do it at the moment.

But he didn't feel any danger from these four Daoists.

It can only be said that these guys have this unique skill.

Dan Realm Grandmaster is not as good as it.

At the same time, the sound of the horn began to blow, and those strong men with strong bodies held their breath and blew suddenly, and the sound spread nearly 10,000 meters...

At this moment, in the capital, Qingyun Guan.

The old man in a Taoist robe lay on the chair with a leisurely expression, swaying the fan in his hand slightly, and his eyes squinted slightly at the golden dragon and fire phoenix in the void.

"Look, Lord, what a miracle!"

A few little Taoist children on the side were extremely excited to see this scene.

None of them are very old, and although it is not the first time they have seen such a situation, they are still excited.

"See..."

The old watcher nodded with a smile.

"Lord, why didn't you go to a nearby donor's house to practice medicine today?"

A Taoist boy asked casually.

Although weddings and funerals are forbidden for the royal family to worship their ancestors, normal activities are not prohibited.

"I'm a little uncomfortable today and want to take a day off."

"Oh."

"Viewer, do you think this is a fairy method?"

"Almost...."

"I'm so envious, the gods will definitely be able to live forever."

"It's not necessarily, it depends on what kind of immortal."

"Master, why don't you let your juniors go out today if you are uncomfortable?"

"The old man watches the sky at night, and today may not be peaceful, but he is still watching peace."

As time passed, the sound of the horn gradually began to stop, but the golden dragon and fire phoenix in the void did not disappear, and an official of the Ministry of Rites looked at the sky, took a deep breath, and said loudly:

"The auspicious time has come, please.... Ancestors! ”

The loud voice echoed in everyone's ears, and an official of the Ministry of Rites began to walk out one after another, and after a series of tedious ceremonies, several officials bowed down and gradually put on the altar with white jade tablets in their hands.

These are the tablets of the emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty, and they were also sacrificed when they worshiped their ancestors.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and looked around calmly.

Calm, solemn, and it seems that everyone's eyes are attracted to the ancestors.

There are no anomalies.

And in the end, it was an old man of the royal clan holding a jade box in both hands, approaching the high platform step by step, his face was unusually solemn.

The jade box was opened, and inside was a palm-sized quaint stone tripod.

And when he saw this statue, Chen Yuan suddenly had an inexplicable throbbing feeling in his heart, he didn't know where it came from, but it just felt very special.

Could it be ambition?

The origin of this stone tripod, in fact, Chen Yuan has also heard of it.

Others don't know because it's a secret story, but Chen Yuan heard Chu Changfeng mention it yesterday, saying that this thing.... It is very likely that it is the treasure of the imperial court's suppression of national fortunes.

Legend has it that there are nine statues in this tripod, which is a strange treasure refined by the ancient human race after the martial emperor set the world, after thousands of years, most of them have been lost.

Only Chu Taizu found one.

After the Sima royal family usurped the throne, they inherited this Baoding, which symbolized orthodoxy.

But it's just a possibility, if it's really a heavy treasure to suppress the national fortune, how can it be taken out at will?

You're not afraid of someone robbing you, are you?

And in Chu Changfeng's mouth, Chen Yuan also heard a sentence about the origin of that Chu Taizu and a Ding, the history books record that Taizu is brave, unique through the ages, and can lift the Ding.

I don't know if that's what I'm talking about.

But thinking about it quickly discarded the idea.

This tripod is only the size of a palm, and it can be picked up by the royal family, how can it be the rumored god tripod?

Doesn't that mean that anyone can lift it?

As for this statue, Chen Yuan himself felt that it should be just a symbol.

After all, since ancient times, tripods have been heavy weapons.

The quaint stone tripod was respectfully placed on the altar by the old man of the royal family.

Then, it was quickly pushed away.

A big Confucian with a white beard and hair, dressed in an official robe, strode forward, stood on one side, and said in a condensed voice:

"Ancestor Worship Ceremony, Kai!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them immediately turned pale.

After the old man finished speaking, some began to recite the sacrificial text.

It's cumbersome and tongue-twisting.

However, the general meaning of Chen Yuan can be understood, it is almost Jingtai inheriting the will of the ancestors, working hard, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Great Jin Dynasty will last forever.

By the way, please bless the ancestors of the past dynasties....

But this is just to listen, even the Terran Martial Emperor, the pioneer of martial arts, can't let the dynasty last for eternity, and even the Chu Taizu who comes out once in a thousand years can only let the former Chu last for eight hundred years.

Just a big jin, how can he de?

Just Jingtai, how can he de?

You must know that today's imperial court is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the situation has already begun to show decline.

This point is most clear to Chen Yuan, who has gradually walked from the end of the micro to the present.

Otherwise, there will be no ambition.

It was he who saw hope, and then burst out of ambition.

After the academy Confucian finished reciting the sacrificial text, Jingtai took a few steps forward with a calm expression, and there was a great majesty around his body, which belonged to the emperor.

The dignity is incomparable, and it makes people look up.

Chen Yuan clearly saw the meaning of surrender and respect in the eyes of those officials around him, and saw one of the yearning in the eyes of several princes.

The king of a country, the supreme of the world.

As soon as the words came out, the world was shocked, millions of corpses were ambushed, and blood flowed thousands of miles.

How can such a high position not make people surrender and respect? How can you not make people yearn for it?

This is the case with Chen Yuan.

He looked at the figure that made everyone present surrender and awe, and a surging ambition burst out of his eyes, and he said to himself in his heart:

"One day, I will take my place!"
